Chapter 367 The East Asian Financial Turmoil

readx; Soros was woken up in his sleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What?"

Soros threw himself in front of the computer.

"Who did it?"

The subordinate shook his head, and no one could answer the boss's question.

Soros is a genius with an unusually keen sense of money, and after only a split second of hesitation, he has a decision.

The rapid economic development of East Asian countries has amassed mouth-watering wealth, and the reason why wealth is coveted is because there is a way to grab it.

There is a way to grab the wealth of East Asia.

The time is ripe to grab the wealth of East Asian countries, but whether to grab it or not, this non-problematic question has become a problem.

I don't rob it, it's because of China.

The time is ripe to seize East Asian countries, but China is the exception, and the time is far from ripe to seize China.

China is so painful.

If you really don't have a chance, then it's worry-free, but the problem is not.

In fact, the situation in the South China is similar to that of Southeast Asian countries, but unlike other East Asian countries, there is a North China behind the South China.

There is no one in northern China who does not commit the total.

Again, if that's all, it would be worry-free, but the problem is that many economic sectors in northern China have also begun to open up.

For China to be unified, the economies of the North and the South had to merge, and now, this large-scale integration has begun.

This is the opportunity, so that Soros and others see the opportunity.

For East Asian countries, Soros endured and didn't make a move, he was waiting for China, but this is not the only reason, he didn't do it, and another reason is political.

Many people don't want to do it now, because they are afraid that they will be picked up by China again.

It is sometimes difficult to understand that the Chinese are in good conditions to compete with the United States for dominance in Southeast Asia, but China does not seem to pay much attention to this and does not invest many resources.

As a result, the United States occupies a great advantage in Southeast Asia, that is, the Nanyang Republic, which has a Chinese population of up to 90 percent, has greater influence than China, and it is not even a little bigger.

Whatever the reason, this is the result, and it is the result that Americans value most.

Now, if they do it against Southeast Asia, it will be easy to grab the wealth of Southeast Asia, but they have no confidence in the follow-up means, such as the intervention of institutions such as the World Bank.

After the robbery, if the World Bank and other institutions successfully intervene, even if Southeast Asian countries are dissatisfied, they will not have a problem, and their control over Southeast Asian countries will be further strengthened.

But if the Chinese get involved, the problem is big, and it is very likely to bury the advantages of operating in Southeast Asia for decades.

It is precisely these two reasons that make Soros resist not finally launching, but the preparations that should be made have been done, and he has been making wind and rain on the Thai baht since March this year, but he has not made a final decision.

Now, if someone makes a move, there are only two ways for them to react, one is to participate in the robbery, and the other is to stop and help Southeast Asian countries.

If we help Southeast Asian countries, not to mention whether we can stop them, even if they succeed, then Southeast Asian countries will review why they are being attacked and where the loopholes are.

Once the review is completed and the loophole is closed, how can you grab it in the future?

It may be a good thing for the United States, but for them, it is a loss, and it is an extremely huge loss.

Therefore, Soros does not need to make a decision.

――――

On July 2, in the foreign exchange market, the scale of attacks on the Thai baht suddenly increased, and the trading volume increased more than tenfold.

Since March this year, the exchange rate of the Thai baht has been fluctuating, but fortunately, the situation is not in danger of getting out of control, but this time the trading volume suddenly increased, and the grass and trees were immediately wiped out.

The frenzy of the baht-swap frenzy has exploded.

In just one day, Thailand could not stand it and announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system.

Now, it's amazing.

On the same day, the Thai baht depreciated by 20 percent, dozens of banks collapsed, and the stock market plummeted.

For a time, Thailand was gloomy and miserable, and the whole East Asia was full of rumors, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, as if the end was coming.

The reason why Thailand has an accident in one country will make the whole of East Asia go to war is because of the great disaster in Thailand, and they can't run away, because their problems are the same as those in Thailand.

The better-developed East Asian countries, with the exception of northern China, have several identical characteristics.

For one, they are export-oriented economies that rely heavily on exports.

Second, the foreign exchange policy is basically the same.

In order to attract foreign investment, they maintain a fixed exchange rate on the one hand, and expand financial liberalization on the other, and this provides an opportunity for international speculators to take advantage of it.

For example, Thailand abolished the control of the capital market in 1992 before the country's financial system was straightened out, allowing the flow of short-term funds to flow unimpeded, and providing conditions for foreign speculators to speculate on the Thai baht.

Third, in order to maintain a fixed exchange rate system, they have used their foreign exchange reserves to cover their deficits for a long time, resulting in an increase in external debt.

Fourth, the structure of external debt is irrational, and there are many medium- and short-term debts.

In such a situation, currency depreciation is inevitable once the outflow of foreign capital exceeds the inflow of foreign capital, and the country's foreign exchange reserves are insufficient to cover the shortfall.

Fifth, the high growth of the overdraft economy and the expansion of non-performing assets.

The so-called overdraft surname high economic growth, to put it bluntly, is that the belly is not so big but it is necessary to eat more, so it is strange not to get sick.

Everyone wants to maintain a high rate of economic growth, but when the conditions are insufficient, economic growth must be reduced.

East Asian countries are not, they have all taken a different path, and in order to maintain their speed, they have turned to borrowing foreign debt to maintain economic growth.

If this world is full of kind little white rabbits, then borrowing will be borrowed, but the fact is that there are very few white rabbits in this world, but lions and jackals are all over the place.

These five are common diseases in East Asian countries, and the only difference is only the severity of the disease.

Panic spread to other East Asian countries almost immediately.

――――

Outside the barracks of the Xiangdao garrison, a red line 20 centimeters wide was drawn 50 meters from the gate, and a yellow line of the same width was drawn 100 meters.

Outside the yellow line, two or three hundred people gathered, all of whom had white ribbons tied around their heads, and several banners that read "Xiangdao is a place of freedom and peace, and [***] troops are not welcome" and so on.

The emotions of this group of people seemed to be very excited, jumping and jumping, but at the same time they were very well-behaved, they were all jumping in place, and none of them dared to cross the yellow line.

Crossing the yellow line, the gun fills the eye; Crossing the red line, the gun goes into the skull.

After all, these Xiangdao consciences are Chinese, and their understanding of those people in Yanjing is not comparable to foreign devils, so they are also careful to abide by the rules.

These consciences have to make trouble every day until the sun goes down, as if they go to work, but today is a bit strange, and I finish work at ten o'clock in the morning.

At the gate of the barracks, there were two soldiers standing guard, and the soldier on the left looked at the conscience of the end of the work, and asked puzzledly: "Pillars, why don't these grandsons act?" ”

The warrior on the right rolled his eyes and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”

……

……

The two warriors are talking about each other.

These consciences closed the stall because the big people were impatient.

In normal times, the big people can't control these consciences, but at that time, "usual", and now it is not usual, once the speculators attack Xiangdao, they may have to ask the central government for a political axe.

Therefore, at this time, the conscience still wants to make trouble, then it will not work.

――――

Shanghai, Xu Mansion.

The owner of the Xu Mansion is Xu Shouchang.

Today, the Xu Mansion is covered with a large number of political and business dignitaries and celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai, as well as political and business dignitaries from various autonomous provinces, celebrities from all walks of life, and overseas political and business tycoons.

Xu Shouchang is a Shanghai business tycoon and an underworld tycoon.

Today is Xu Shouchang's 70th birthday.

It was a peculiar sight that the dignitaries of the autonomous provinces had no scruples about celebrating the birthday of a gangster. If this is in a foreign country, no matter what kind of relationship there is in private, it should still be done on the surface.

The reason why it can be in Shanghai is because for Chinese, Xu Shouchang and other gangsters are not a scourge.

In fact, because of Xu Shouchang and other gangsters, China not only does not have a drug problem in the north, but also in the south, at least the problem is not big and can be ignored.

Of course, the gangsters are not the real reason, the real reason is the Black God Army, however, the gangsters also contribute a lot.

From the day the gang became a gang group, gangsters like Xu Shouchang have been inextricably linked to the Black God Army.

Gangsters fight drugs, which seems incredible, but the effect is really good.

Gangsters fight drugs, undoubtedly, the loss is huge, but I can't help it, the loss is even greater, because if drugs are rampant, the Black God Army will ask these gangsters.

For others, such as the political and business circles, the Black God Army is no longer satisfied, and will not use assassination, but for these gangsters, except for assassination, they rarely use other means.

Actually, it is not appropriate to use "assassination", and a more accurate description would be "massacre".

At the beginning, some gangsters who were too unreasonable were slaughtered.

As a result, the most peculiar scene was staged in the land of China, some officials tried every possible way to sell drugs, but the gangsters who should have tried everything possible to sell drugs did everything possible to ban drugs.

In fact, the gangsters are so abnormal, of course, because the methods of the Black God Army are too tragic, but also because the Black God Army is too powerful, as long as someone sells drugs, they will never escape the eyes of the Black God Army.

After coming and going, the gangsters had to obey.

Also, the Black God Army has never been just not giving, and cooperating with the Black God Army, the gangsters are also very profitable.

First of all, the Black God Army will set a lot of rules for the gangster world that are conducive to the stability of the gangster world, for example, the gangster does not have to worry about being destroyed by the new generation of gangsters who suddenly jumped up.

There is the great god of the Black God Army pressing on the top of his head, as long as he does not offend the Black God Army, those big guys don't have to worry about the sinister rivers and lakes, and the Black God Army will protect them.

In addition, if you listen to the Black God Army, although you can't harm the Chinese, then go to the harm of foreigners, this Black God Army doesn't care.

What's more, who said that gangsters can only make money? Following the Black God Army, gangsters can also make white money, and it is no less than black money.

This time, yes, and that's why so many guests came.

Many people want to come and hear the news, and among them, there are many people from the Nanyang Republic.

Originally, the Nanyang Republic was a Chinese state, and the reason why it was able to be established was also the result of the support of the Black God Army, but now it is different from the past, Nanyang is now controlled by pro-Western forces.

After the collapse of the Thai baht, Nanyang was in a panic, but still did not make up his mind to go to Yanjing.

Officially going to Yanjing, it means paying a lot of things that they don't want to pay, they hesitate, there are two factors, one is not sure that the speculators, that is, the United States, will definitely attack them, and the other is not sure that the Black God Army will really ignore them, they are all Chinese after all.

At the birthday banquet, the most beautiful ones were Xu Shouchang and these gangsters.

――――

In the living room, Xu Shouchang looked down at a glazed golden Buddha placed on the coffee table for a while, then raised his head and smiled at the middle-aged man sitting opposite: "Mingyu, the gift is too heavy." ”

The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Mingyu, a telecommunications tycoon in the Nanyang Republic, and a well-known tycoon in Southeast Asia.

The Zhang family has some ties with the Xu family, and Zhang Mingyu came to congratulate Xu Shouchang on his birthday this time, not only on behalf of the Zhang family, but also as the personal representative of the Prime Minister's Office of the Nanyang Republic.

Zhang Mingyu said with a smile: "Uncle, you like cultural relics, and worship the Buddha devoutly, this glazed golden Buddha is the place to be placed here." ”

"Hahaha......" Xu Shouchang smiled happily: "Mingyu, then I will be ashamed." ”

Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "It should be." ”

The two talked for a while, Xu Shouchang kept talking nonsense, Zhang Mingyu scolded the old fox in his heart, and finally said: "Uncle, the financial crisis seems to be temporarily unsettled, do you have any problems?" ”

Zhang Mingyu refers to the underworld republic, although there are also political axes and elections, which are no different from other countries, but it is not a secret that they are actually controlled by underworld tycoons such as Xu Shouchang.

Xu Shouchang said: "We have no problem, the Black God Bank has just given us a credit guarantee of 20 billion US dollars. ”

Zhang Mingyu was taken aback, and then he fell into confusion.

In fact, among the Southeast Asian countries, the most stable and risk-free economy is the freak of the underworld republic.

Except for the underworld republic, there is no such strange country in the world.

The underworld is also an export-oriented economy that relies heavily on the outside world, but unlike other export-oriented economies, it does not rely on exporting goods, but on attracting people from outside.

In a word, the underworld is the quintessential smoke-free economy, relying on tourism, gambling, money laundering, beauty, drugs, food, and so on.

You don't need a visa to come to the underworld, but you do need to do a medical check-up.

You don't need a visa, but if you want to find a job, don't come. There is nothing to do here, except for the work that beautiful women and handsome men can do.

The underworld is a paradise to enjoy, and in some respects, it is even better than the most famous Yanjing in the world.

Because, in Yanjing, there are no certain projects, but in the underworld, there are no taboos, such as taking drugs unscrupulously, such as ......

In short, as long as you have money, you can eat human flesh if you want.

Therefore, the underworld has no loopholes in the economic structure, and there is money, as long as these underworld tycoons reach an agreement, then mobilizing billions, or even tens of billions, is like playing.

Zhang Mingyu asked Xu Shouchang if there was a problem with the underworld, but in fact he didn't mean that, what he meant was that when Nanyang needed it, could he borrow some money from the underworld republic to turn around and save the emergency.

Looking at Zhang Mingyu, Xu Shouchang sneered in his heart, a few second devils wanted to fight with the Black God Army and find death!

I still want to ask them for help, why do you want to come?

No one knows how deeply the Black God Army controls these underworld tycoons.

In fact, according to the understanding of ordinary people, the Black God Army and the Mafia Group really have nothing to do with it, the Black God Army has never been involved in the business of the Mafia Group, but on some key issues involving the national level, the Black God Army has an unquestionable right to speak.

The Black God Army's control of the underworld group, in addition to other means, has two most important points, one is to guarantee the safety of the underworld tycoons and their descendants, and the other is to follow the Black God Army, with a strong sense of achievement.

――――

Mr. Zhang's famous black luxury Bentley sedan drove into the Prime Minister's Office.

In the reception room, the head of Nanyang's political axe and several economic tycoons were present.

When Zhang Mingyu told what he knew from Xu Shouchang that the Black God Bank would provide a guarantee of 20 billion US dollars for the underworld republic, everyone was stunned as Zhang Mingyu's original reaction.

"Mingyu, what do you think?" After a long silence, the Grand Commander of Nanyang asked.

"China's political axe may be trying to force us to bow our heads." Zhang Mingyu said.

In September 1992, the US military was driven out of the Subic military base by the Philippine political axe, and this broke the chain of US encirclement of China.

Subsequently, Nanyang leased Singapore's Changi Port to the U.S. military.

Although this has brought huge benefits to Nanyang, it has also greatly angered China's political axe.

The crowd was silent.

The Grand Commander nodded and said, "Maybe it's possible." ”

Zhang Mingyu asked: "What does the United States say?" ”

Vice Premier Jiang Ziming said: "There are some things that cannot be decided by the US political axe. ”

Zhang Mingyu's heart sank.

The Zhang family has invested heavily in Nanyang and Southeast Asia, and has now suffered heavy losses, and if Nanyang is also captured, the losses will be immeasurable.

The people here, including the commander, are in the same situation as Zhang Mingyu.

What to do?

If the United States can't count on it, then it can only count on China, but can they do what China asks? What's more, if they can do it, are they willing to do it?

Their greatest interest is to move between China and the United States, not just in the South Seas, but even more so themselves.

If they lean towards China, they will soon be replaced, and the Chinese political axe will not trust them.

After a whole day of deliberation, in the end, the consensus reached was that the Chinese political axe was only to scare them, and the Chinese political axe would not watch the wealth of the Chinese in Nanyang be swept away by the foreigners.

So, just wait and see what happens.
