Chapter 53: The True Purpose (Part II)
"The board of directors has considered that if Thailand is in a difficult situation now, it can use the 100-year tenure of Thailand's rubber production area to offset the $2 billion debt. In this way, Thailand's cash flow will not be affected, and we can also account for it to other shareholders.
And, within this 100 years, Jushi Capital will give priority to hiring rubber farmers in Thailand. ”
"It's... Is this true?"
"Thailand is a country of tens of millions of people, and we don't want tens of millions of people to go hungry, which would be a disaster. We are confident that Thailand will be able to weather this difficult time. This is a sincere gesture from Standard Chartered Bank and Jushi Capital, and the icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow. Governor Sonny, am I right!"
“......”
In the office of the governor of the Bank of Thailand, Sonny hung up the phone and couldn't help but start.
If there was anything else in his mind, it was only one thought.
How is this possible!
Capital is chasing profits.
Capitalists are also extremely greedy and shameless.
Driven by interests, capital and the people behind it never think about the lives of others.
As long as they can make money, they can even kill themselves.
But now, there is such an incredible thing.
Two billion dollars!
Could it be that these guys are now doing charity?
According to the statistics of Thailand's rubber production and sales over the years, the annual rubber sales are about 60 million US dollars.
In 100 years, that amount would be six billion dollars.
But that's not how the accounts are calculated.
Rubber production and sales over the years do not mean that it will be sold for so much money every year in the future.
At present, domestic Japanese car companies and Japanese rubber groups are withdrawing investment, and global commodity prices are also plummeting.
The price of crude oil has fallen by more than half, and the price of copper has hit a record low.
Rubber, too, has fallen by more than 30 percent in recent months.
It is simply unknown whether the rubber will be sold for another 60 million in the future.
Perhaps, the total sales will fall by a third.
Perhaps, it will drop by half.
What's more, at the current market interest rate, the annualized interest rate of $2 billion is nearly 10 percent.
Add or subtract, $2 billion is more than $2 billion, and $6 billion in total rubber sales may not be $6 billion.
After some calculations, Sonny couldn't figure it out.
In this way, Standard Chartered Bank and the boulder capital behind it have no profit at all.
There may be some floating profits, but if you compare it to the depreciation of the currency, it is definitely a very profitable investment.
And if the price of rubber falls in the future, it is not impossible that the two billion US dollars of Standard Chartered and Jushi will even be thrown away in vain.
Unless the price of rubber increases several times in the coming years, Standard Chartered and Jushi will not be able to make any money at all.
But is that possible?
Basically nothing is possible.
Commodities are now falling endlessly.
The price is getting lower day by day, which makes people feel desperate when they see it.
It's like the baht.
There are new lows below the new lows.
Hell knows where the real one is lowest.
Wrong.
There must be something wrong with this.
How can a capitalist really care about the life or death of others.
Fool it!
But what's the problem?
Sonny was in a daze, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Inside Standard Chartered Bank.
George King was also frowning and desperately spinning his brain.
Even though he said the proposals, he was actually just as confused as Sonny.
However, George King knew that with the insidious and extremely greedy character of his boss, he would never really go to Thailand to do charity.
There must be something wrong with this.
But in the end, it was in vain.
George King thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with one, two, three.
I can't think of riding sister.
According to Thailand's export data over the years, Thailand's rubber export output accounts for 8% of Thailand's export revenue.
The average is about $60 million per year.
Spending $2 billion in cash to buy Thailand's 100-year-old rubber property is clearly not a wise investment.
Faced with a chattering commodity market, who knows what rubber will fall into the future.
Perhaps, two billion dollars will be thrown at Thailand for nothing.
Could it be that the big capitalists have become stupid this time?
After a long time, George King still couldn't figure out what was wrong with this.
He had to ask a guy who was lazily sipping tea.
I don't know what you're going to do, but I have to warn you. At the current price of rubber, this is probably a very bad investment. ”
Zhao Jiangchuan didn't speak, he picked up a cup of tea and took two sips, then took out a cigarette and smoked it very uncultivated.
The appearance of Erlang's legs crossed made George King more and more unpleasant the more he looked at it.
Because, George King doesn't smoke and doesn't like to ask about the smell of tobacco.
"Boss. I don't think you're a gentleman. ”
Regarding George King's accusations, Zhao Jiangchuan did not mind at all.
He said with a smile.
"George. Don't you feel like you know what my purpose is?"
“......”
George King stopped talking.
As Zhao Jiangchuan said, George Kim wants to know what is behind the right to use this 100-year-old rubber production area.
Otherwise, he always felt like he was mentally retarded.
This feeling was a huge blow to George King, who had always been pretentious from a good background.
The feeling of being crushed by someone in terms of IQ is really terrible.
Zhao Jiangchuan habitually raised his eyebrows and held back a sassy idea.
He pulled a cigarette out of the cigarette case on the table and tossed it to George King, who was expecting something.
"George. Here, smoke one. Smoke one and I'll tell you what our purpose is. ”
It's a pity that George King won't scold Ma Ma Pi.
Otherwise, he would definitely scold directly now.
Let a self-cherishing and self-loving person who refuses tobacco smoke.
Isn't this a pit man?
It's a pity that Zhao Jiangchuan's expression of not saying anything if you don't smoke me completely defeated George King.
In desperation, George King picked up the lighter that Zhao Jiangchuan threw over casually.
"Sting..."
The fire was lit.
George King leaned over to the flame with a cigarette in his mouth and lit a cigarette.
"Ahem..."
Because of the improper pumping, George King immediately choked and coughed.
"Haha..."
Someone laughed out loud without grace.
That crazy look made George King want to hit someone.
Zhao Jiangchuan accepted it when he saw it.
After George King had smoked half of a cigarette, he blinked.
"George. Do you remember? As I said, our goal has never been the baht. ”
George Kinglen fell.
Of course he remembered what Zhao Jiangchuan said, and said it twice, how could he not remember.
Is it for rubber?
After a few moments, George King spoke.
"You don't think it's for rubber. IMHO, this is really nothing to praise. ”
Zhao Jiangchuan bared his teeth and smiled, he stretched out a finger and shook it.
"Don't you understand? Our goal was never Thailand. As for the Thai melon baby, it can be sold for a few dollars. A poor man, you can't fry it even if you squeeze it out of oil. ”
This time, George King was really confused.
The attack on the Thai baht knocked Thailand to the point of collapse, and it played such a hand against the rubber.
But in the end, he said that the target was not Thailand.
swept away all other people's money, and especially disliked other people's poverty.
Is there such a thing as a guy who is not a thing?
But in an instant, George King's eyes bulged out, and the eyeballs almost fell to the ground, obviously almost scared to death.
Because, George King suddenly understood what Zhao Jiangchuan was talking about.
Even buy karma, O God!
How can there be such a devil in this world?
Shocked beyond measure, George King quickly took a deep puff of his cigarette.
He wanted to suppress the fear in his heart with the dizziness of the smoke entering his body.
But one is not enough.
After smoking a cigarette, George King grabbed another cigarette from the table and refilled it.
"Whew..."
Inside, it's smoky.
George King's face was filled with irrepressible shock.
He was digesting his own guess.
