Yang Zhuping was a little skeptical: "Are you so sure?"

Zhang Chen nodded and said categorically: "I am convinced, and this five billion US dollars is just the vanguard, if they can only use such a small amount of money, they will not be able to shake the Thai financial system at all." The $3 billion I mentioned earlier refers to the international speculators' own funds, and with the effect of leverage, these $3 billion can leverage at least $50 billion or more in hot money. And when the inflow of hot money exceeds $30 billion, Thailand's financial system will almost collapse. At that time, these three billion US dollars will at least allow international speculators to obtain tens of billions of dollars in returns. ”

"As for my country's response strategy, in this regard, our domestic experts and scholars should be much more professional than me. From my personal point of view, we can remind Southeast Asian countries to form a good relationship. However, we must be cautious in capital investment, accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become king. ”

Yang Zhuping was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I thought you would talk about it from the perspective of whether my country can enter the market in advance and make a profit from it." ”

Zhang Chen said sincerely: "If there are international speculators who start to attack the Southeast Asian financial market, I don't recommend that my country get too involved in it in the early stage." ”

Yang Zhuping asked rhetorically, "Why?"

Zhang Chen said: "Technically speaking, our financial market is immature, resulting in too few financial practitioners with an international vision, and the professionalism is too poor, and it is impossible to occupy any advantage with international speculators, an old fox who has hunted countless prey in the international market." ”

"In terms of interests, if we help Southeast Asian countries to resist international speculators from the very beginning, it is nothing more than delaying the emergence of the Southeast Asian financial crisis and cannot solve the fundamental problem. Moreover, it will consume a large amount of China's foreign exchange reserves. ”

"Morally speaking, if we join international speculators to attack the financial markets of Southeast Asia, we will indeed be able to obtain a lot of economic benefits in the short term, but in the long run, the gains will outweigh the losses. Such behaviour is incompatible with our image as a great power. Unless it's a private act and has nothing to do with the government, you can give it a try. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhang Chen's eyes flickered.

Zhang Chen's biggest advantage is that he has self-knowledge, if he says that foresight is an advantage, but if he does not have the corresponding ability, he can only use foresight to brush up his sense of existence and political capital.

If you want to profit from the Asian financial crisis, you don't know the information that Quantum Fund is short in Southeast Asia.

Even if Zhang Chen made up a lot of financial knowledge in order to write this paper. But after all, there is no practical experience, if it is said that you can make money in the foreign exchange market with only theoretical knowledge, then a large number of economists can become masters of foreign exchange speculation, and they are worth hundreds of millions, which is obviously not the case.

Let him do it himself? The leverage is not high, the income is limited, and it is difficult to compete with international speculators. The leverage is high, and the method of self-operation is too trendy, maybe you will lose everything.

You must know that during the Asian financial crisis, Soros used a maximum leverage of 1:50, that is, a margin of $1,000 was borrowed to $50,000. But again, if the Thai baht appreciates by 2%, he may be forced to close his position if he does not make up the margin.

According to Zhang Chen's memory, there was a period of time when the Thai baht rose and fell by more than 8% in a single day, and the Thai government desperately ate orders, while international speculators were desperately shorting, which is thrilling and can be imagined.

Even Soros returned home in the first attack, losing tens of millions of dollars. What's more, Zhang Chen's little capital, wants to make waves in it, and be careful of being beaten to death by the waves.

Therefore, Zhang Chen chose the safest path and revealed the news to the official through the paper, if the official believes that the news is indeed correct, it is possible to fight a sniper war. On the one hand, it is already good to alleviate the impact of the Asian financial crisis in China, and on the other hand, if the situation allows, Zhang Chen will build a rat warehouse and make a fortune with the country.

But obviously, using CITIC or any national capital to help international speculators is not within the scope of Yang Zhuping's options.

After all, in July this year, China had just reached a comprehensive dialogue partnership with ASEAN, and its relations with Southeast Asian countries were in a honeymoon period. At this time, the stab in the back hurts both sides too much.

Moreover, as we all know, China's current foreign exchange market is not open, whether it is private capital or state capital, as long as there are US dollars from domestic to enter the international foreign exchange market, it will inevitably be led by the government. Once the matter is revealed, it will hurt Huaxia's international reputation too much, and Zhang Chen can only regret it slightly.

Seeing Zhang Chen's regretful expression, Yang Zhuping smiled and said, "You don't have to regret it, you are still young, and the future is still very long." And you are already on a higher starting line than other young people of the same age, teenage self-made billionaires, there are not many in the world left, haha. ”

Billionaire? Secretary Liu looked at Zhao Chunjun in shock, but he also looked at Zhao Chunjun with a blank look.

Yang Zhuping pointed at Zhang Chen and said with a smile: "You didn't expect it, at such a young age, his net worth is higher than all the people in our building combined." ”

Zhang Chen blushed, and hurriedly said: "I just made a software in the United States and sold it for some money, don't give me a gold sticker, where is a billionaire." ”

Yang Zhuping smiled: "Look, you are not honest at a young age." I've seen advertisements for alien computers at home, and now you should be a major shareholder of Starcom, which is now booming in Lin'an? It seems that 60% of the country's 110 police platforms are made by them, right? Plus the restaurant you opened at home and the Bincheng Chemical No. 2 Plant that you just acquired. To say that you are a billionaire is to underestimate you!"

Zhang Chen was relieved, Yang Zhuping seemed to have investigated himself before. Think about it, a vice-national leader, if he wants to meet a little-known student, even if he doesn't say it, the internal security department will definitely investigate him.

What shocked Zhang Chen was that the matter of Starcom and the No. 2 Chemical Plant was operated through a tinder source registered in the United States, and it was actually investigated.

Zhang Chen was dripping in a cold sweat, still underestimating the power of the country.

Yang Zhuping saw Zhang Chen's expression, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, it's not twenty years ago, we don't engage in equalizing the rich and the poor, but encourage labor to get rich and get rich properly." Qiao Lao said it well, let some people get rich first. As long as what you do is legal, we will protect it, and we will support it! But it is said that if you become a profiteer and damage the interests of the country and the people through illegal acts, the government will not be soft!" When it came to the last sentence, Yang Zhu's face was flat, and Zhang Chen shuddered.

Zhang Chen calmed down, "Premier Yang, I guarantee with my personal personality that I have always operated legally, strictly abided by business ethics, and will not do anything that harms the interests of the country and the people, whether it is now or in the future!"

Yang Zhuping nodded: "From the current point of view, this is indeed the case, and even in the acquisition of Bincheng Chemical Plant No. 2, you have played a role in avoiding the loss of state-owned assets." The bidding method you proposed is very good, and other regions can also learn from it in the future. ”

Yang Zhuping paused and continued: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. And you are still young, there are too many choices and temptations to face in the future, and no one can guarantee that a person's beliefs will not change for a lifetime, but there is a sentence I hope you can remember. ”

Yang Zhuping stood up, looked at the green pine outside the window, and said, "Husband, wealth and other floating clouds, look at the famous festival." ”
