……

Siam, which marked the advent of the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, disarmed and surrendered, like the first domino to fall - after the collapse of the Thai baht, the Philippine peso, the Indonesian rupee, and the Malaysian ringgit became the targets of international speculators.

Among them, the resistance of the Malaysian ringgit, which was roughly 2.5:1 with the US dollar, has a weather vane significance. If it is lost like the Thai baht, it means that the area has completely fallen and is being taken by others.

The richest man is not interested in such a win-or-lose affair, he wants everything in Siam - and at this time, Siamese media mogul Lin Mingda is sitting opposite him, flattering and laughing.

Tassin's generation belongs to the fourth generation of Siamese Chinese, and Lim Mingda belongs to the third generation of Siamese Chinese - although this is basically meaningless in Siam, which has done a very good job of assimilation.

Lin Mingda's media kingdom really rose in the bloody May of 1992 - when the Chachai Chunhawan government ~ government overthrown by the Siam military coup in 1991 was seriously corrupt, so many people were happy to see it, but after the true face of the military's reluctance to restore the original political system was revealed, the people and the media began to vigorously oppose it, and held a peaceful march~ march, which was characterized by the military as a Communist Party member and suppressed by force, and even many medical personnel fell under gunpoint, causing the whole of Bangkok to fall into chaos for five consecutive days.

After the incident, the military pushed out Prime Minister Suchinda and the leader of the demonstrators, both knelt in front of the King of Thailand, promising to calm the turmoil, and the demonstrations came to an end, the military faded out of the political arena, and the new elections and constitution were restored, which continue to this day.

In this process of protest, Lin Mingda's newspaper played a significant role, and was even almost forcibly closed by the military government~government.

Obviously, since then, Lin Mingda's media career has prospered by virtue of this politically correct capital, and by last year, he had accumulated a net worth of 600 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable and unpredictable - this round of financial turmoil has hit many companies in Siam that are on the verge of bankruptcy, including Lim Mingda's media company. And the panacea for resurrection is to get a loan to supply blood.

In fact, Lin Mingda can be called a typical tragic example of the current Siamese business community - before seizing the opportunity to expand recklessly, only to bet on the general trend wrongly, caught off guard by the financial turmoil, and now the difference is to turn over life-saving money, but the problem is that without strong connections, basically do not rely on the Siamese banking system, which is too busy to take care of itself.

Lin Mingda carefully observed the expressions of Tarsin and the richest man, hoping to find a breakthrough - in fact, the media tycoon and the former did not have an intersection, in the previous stage of the Siam stock market, he gave a part of the shares of the company to be listed to the other party, but they changed hands and sold at a high price, without falling into the kind of relationship that he expected.

After this incident, Lin Mingda figured out what the problem was - Tapsin, a telecom tycoon, whose family business owns TV stations and other media, does not care much about his own value.

Glancing at the kind-faced richest man in the world, Lin Mingda continued to think - if even this God of Wealth can't impress, then he will have to sell part of his industry to CP Group according to another set of plans to cash out and save the emergency.

Tang Huan was also secretly inspecting Lin Mingda - he could see that Ta Xin didn't care much about the other party.

It is no wonder that, in addition to being the richest man in Siam and once holding the post of deputy prime minister, Thasin also has other external interests, such as a member of the Asia Advisory Board of the Gallaga Group, which has a deep official background in the world, which is not at all comparable to Lin Mingda.

The irony is that in the original time and space, when the Yellow Shirts and Red Shirts faced each other in Siam, and the Daimyo spread abroad with the Siamese tourism brand, it was Lin Mingda, a former strong supporter, who launched a denunciation of Tasin and led the other party to step down and go into exile.

What the richest man came up with was that Lin Mingda was definitely a qualified dog who dared to bite and dared to bite, and in the current situation when the financial turmoil caused chaos in Siam, as long as it was used well, it should be an excellent mouthpiece.

After the heat was almost boiled, Tang Huan, who was finally relieved, said with a smile: "As long as you can get through the difficulties in front of you, then you will definitely be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”

Lin Mingda, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded again and again with joy, and then complained indignantly: "The current government ~ government led by the Democratic ~ Lord ~ Party is too incompetent in dealing with this financial turmoil, and it should immediately abdicate and make way for Xian, so as to save the collapsed Siamese economy." ”

The richest man glanced at Tasin with a smile on his face, hinting at the other party - see no, this Lin Mingda, the reaction is not ordinary fast!

Tasin was no longer in the cabinet at this time, and had turned to run his own party wholeheartedly, so after listening to Lin Mingda's statement, he was quite useful.

Tang Huan joked to Lin Mingda, "Siam's economy has collapsed to this point, how do you think it can be effectively saved?"

Lin Mingda replied uncertainly: "Maybe it's like the current government ~ government is negotiating with the International Monetary Fund, trying to get help from outside." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Mingda suddenly took a turn in his heart, "However, the conditions of the IMF have always been very harsh, and judging from the content of the negotiations that have been circulating so far, it can be called a traitor - I think it is a good way to win foreign aid, but we should not rely too much on the IMF, but we should find ways to broaden the scope of foreign aid." ”

Lin Mingda looked at the richest man and slowly gave an example: "For example, the Siam section of the long-delayed Funan-China railway is a very valuable project, which can effectively alleviate the embarrassment caused by large-scale layoffs in the financial, real estate and construction industries, where a large number of workers have to return to their rural villages." ”

"Song Ti is really a man with a ravine, and he sees the situation very clearly. After complimenting him appreciatively, Tang Huan further clarified the topic: "The current financial turmoil reflects some problems in Siam's economic structure, such as heavy dependence on exports, which seems to account for more than two-thirds of GDP." ”

Tasin nodded in acknowledgment, "That's pretty much it. ”

Mr. The richest man smiled slightly, pointed to a hanging map, and said leisurely: "Therefore, if we can realize the idea of opening the Kra Isthmus and building a canal connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, which has been suggested by many far-sighted people for a long time, it will definitely really expand the economic pattern of Siam." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin Mingda couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a long time - this idea is too grandiose!

At this time, he had a hidden realization in his heart - the reason why the world's richest man in front of him had close contacts with Tasin was probably related to this.

Tang Huan asked lightly, "Songti, what do you think of this idea?"

Lin Mingda, who came to his senses, nodded again and again with admiration on his face and said: "It is still Tang who is far-sighted and has prescribed a cure for the Siamese economy. It's just that there has been a long debate about the pros and cons of building the Kra Isthmus Canal......"

"So...... "Mr. The richest man took over, "this requires the use of Songti's mouthpiece, in addition to the disadvantages of the needle, but also in the general public, to have a good discussion." ”

Lin Mingda, who understood where his value was, finally fell on the stone in his heart, and he also stretched out the folds on his face, and said with a loud smile: "There is such a thing that benefits the country and the people, of course I have to do my part." ”

……

In the face of waves of attacks by international speculators, Malaysia finally did not resist and gave up its efforts to defend its currency, the ringgit.

However, unlike the change of government in neighboring Siam~, which sought help from the International Monetary Fund, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad Mohamad has taken a tough attitude and has not accepted the "cure" prescribed by Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the International Monetary Fund, but has denounced the unscrupulous unscrupulous foreign exchange speculators while implementing currency control measures.

This plan is believed by economic experts to discourage foreign investment from Malaysia, and it has also caused the conflict between Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim to erupt, staging another round of dirty political ~ political infighting.

The richest man was watching the show with great interest when he suddenly received a call from George Soros.

Obviously, after taking Southeast Asia, George Soros is still looking northward and setting his sights on Xiangjiang, an international financial center.

According to this person, there are enough economic bubbles in Xiangjiang, and it is time to squeeze them.

Tang Huan replied very clearly: "George, I suggest that you better not touch Xiangjiang - the gains outweigh the losses!"

George Soros asked with some curiosity: "Tang, do you think that Xiangjiang can be as airtight as Singapore?"

"Hong Kong's system is certainly not perfect. Mr. The richest man explained slowly: "The crux of the matter is that Xiangjiang has returned, and it has not been long after its return, not to mention Xiangjiang, which has just held the annual meeting of the World Bank, and he does not want to follow in the footsteps of others, and even Yanjing does not want to see it fall - I think, you called me this and wanted to consult, and that's exactly that, isn't it?"

George Soros laughed, "I also wonder if Tang has a heart for protecting Xiangjiang." ”

At the level of Tang Huan and George Soros, no one can avoid politics ~ governance, and they themselves have political ~ governance demands, and even political ~ governance actions.

For example, George Soros, who was born in Hungary, took out his philanthropic fund to develop his influence in Central and Eastern Europe in the name of the Social Development Research Organization and the Soros National Fund.

Therefore, some of Tang Huan's layouts in Asia can't be hidden from people who have a heart, it's nothing more than that everyone is used to doing this.

Regarding George Soros's temptation, Mr. Soros once again made it clear as he wished: "I do have a lot of interests in Xiangjiang, and I don't want it to collapse, but this does not prevent me from giving you advice objectively, and besides, it is impossible to dissuade international funds that have already killed the red eye." ”

"Don, you've really got to the core. George Soros showed his cards with a feeling and said: "No matter what advice you give, this battle of Xiangjiang is going to be fought." ”

The richest man snorted indifferently and then quipped, "George, now you don't want to say, 'I'm crazy and even I'm scared'." ”

George Soros burst into a burst of laughter on the phone, and finally couldn't hold back and say, "Don, this metaphor of yours is too subtle -- I do have a feeling now that I don't know how powerful I really am." ”

It is no wonder that the scale of funds that George Soros can use with a series of tools, including quantum funds, can reach tens of billions of dollars, but if he works alone, it will not necessarily deal a fatal blow to a country's economic system. But the problem is that after George Soros's name broke out, as soon as the capital market was in turmoil, investors looked at him. The herd effect formed by this "tacit understanding" is where the power to sweep everything away is where the power lies. Even George Soros, who was in front, was a little fluttering and took the buffs such as "stamina", "intelligence", "strength", and "agility" on his head as his own.

What should be said was clear, and Tang Huan didn't bother to care whether George Soros would be heeled by personal expansion, but added before hanging up the phone: "Any profit or loss that may arise from all operations of Xiangjiang should not be credited to my account." ”

George Soros quipped in turn: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that the Linked Exchange Rate Mechanism has made the Hong Kong dollar the most valuable currency at the moment, and there is a lot of room for maneuver - you are careful to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

"Then prove it with the last facts. The richest man hung up the phone without hesitation.

What should come will come after all—but not unexpectedly.

Tang Huan thought about it, except for Siam's special interests that required him to go out in person, the others were all "conventional battles", and naturally there would be "handsome" and "generals" of the Tang Kingdom to deal with it, and there was no need for him to rob his subordinates.

As a result, the richest man no longer stayed, left behind the smoke-filled financial markets in Asia, and set off for the West Coast of the United States.

In late October, the Chinese head of state will visit the United States again after a 12-year hiatus, which is significant and varied, including a visit to Cupertino.

Since it is foreseeable that the "noise" will be relatively large, Tang Huan, who already needs to prepare for the reception carefully, needs to be extra careful.

However, Mr. the richest man, who has always paid attention to gathering intelligence, was still sent a piece of news, and his face turned blue with anger.
