It was obvious that Maha was already used to the monsters and monsters at the scene. He was very happy to communicate with these people. He drank a few glasses of wine at the scene and flirted with a charming woman at the scene. It was not until someone around him reminded him an hour later that he
Thinking of Lu Feng.
A servant came over and reminded Lu Feng that Prince Maha wanted to see him. Lu Feng stood up and followed the servant upstairs. On the second floor, in a luxuriously decorated private room, Maha sat on the sofa and watched.
When Lu Feng walked in, he stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Long time no see, my dearest friend."
Lu Feng felt goosebumps all over his body after hearing this. If he really wanted to punish his brother, it would have to be him.
The two shook hands with an indescribable affection. People who didn't know better thought they were brothers reunited after a long separation. Lu Feng said a few polite words and sat on the sofa. Looking at the environment of the room, he always felt that this was not a conversation.
son's place.
There were drinks, dice, and some strange toys on the table in front of them. Behind the sofa stood a dozen girls, dressed very inappropriately, but they were twisting their bodies and dancing to the live music.
Only Lu Feng and Maha were sitting at the scene, and even Sirami stood aside like a servant. This scene made Lu Feng feel like he had returned to ancient times, and understood what it meant to be a prince, a prince, a general, or a minister.
"I'm not very suitable for this kind of environment." Lu Feng said awkwardly.
"Mr. Lu, you must learn to enjoy it. Look, these are all beauties. Don't you have a saying that beauty is delicious? Eat food, drink wine, and enjoy beauty. Sirami, weren't you practicing singing some time ago?
Well, sing one." Maha ordered.
Sirami picked up the microphone and sang a local song, and the backup dancers behind him also strolled over from the sofas on both sides of Lufeng to accompany the dancers. There were several servants squatting beside the table, and they could point to whatever they wanted to eat, except open their mouths.
No need to do anything.
Lu Feng looked at the scene and sighed in his heart, this is the real emperor set!
Maha chatted for a while on the side, just asking Lu Feng how he has been these past few years. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, he turned to the topic and asked: "I have been having a headache recently. What is implemented in our country is
Anchor the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. In recent months, domestic investors have been converting their Thai baht into U.S. dollars and flowing overseas. The country is very troubled by this problem. Although I don't care about it, I also want to share the worries for the country.
"
"In fact, Thailand's economy has developed rapidly in the past ten years, and a large amount of international capital has flowed in, which has indeed contributed to economic prosperity. However, these funds are 'smart money'. Most of them are concentrated in the financial field. If there is a little trouble, naturally
The best thing is to run first." Lu Feng explained to him: "A large amount of capital outflow will cause a run on foreign exchange reserves, just like the water in the human body. If you lose a lot of water, you will die of dehydration."
"I know this truth, why is there capital outflow? To put it bluntly, there is a turmoil." Maha leaned forward and asked: "Didn't you say that you have great hands and eyes in China? Is there any real news?
, will there be a fight?”
Lu Feng was stunned when he heard this question. Unexpectedly, he did not blame the United States for the problem here, but instead blamed it on China.
"I'm not talking about this turmoil. It has nothing to do with that. It's the United States. I heard that the Federal Reserve over there is going to raise interest rates." Lu Feng replied.
Maha clicked her tongue softly, obviously dissatisfied with Lu Feng's answer. She waved to the side and handed over a cigar. The servant next to Lu Feng also handed over a cigar.
Maha took a sip and said, "I heard that Asia is going to be in chaos."
"Chaos? Where are the chaos going? I have never heard of such news." Lu Feng said to him: "If you want to stabilize the currency exchange rate, you must break the fixed exchange rate of the Thai baht anchored to the US dollar, or implement individual quotas.
Each person’s foreign exchange exchange limit shall not exceed a certain amount...”
"What's the use of all this? We have an agreement with the United States to open up. Besides, if there is a fight, I have to leave a way out for myself. This year I have converted a batch of my assets into U.S. dollars and stored them in U.S. dollars.
It's over there." Maha said quite frankly.
Even the prince would run to the United States if he felt something was wrong, let alone other capital.
Seeing that he was very nervous, Lu Feng comforted him: "If we can't fight, please don't spread this matter. I also heard from a friend above that if you want the Thai baht to be stable, you can't give the United States face. As long as
Without taking out foreign exchange, the currency will be stable, and a slight depreciation would be good, as it can promote exports and international tourism."
Lu Feng chatted with him for a while from the perspective of currency and finance, and asked him to take some actions. As long as the magnitude was not large, the United States would not say anything, let alone worry about war. They were unwilling to restrict foreign exchange and did not dare to do it. However,
Lu Feng also thought of a trick for him.
"If the Thai baht really has water and is being squeezed extremely hard, then I have a trick called 'suffocation therapy'." Lu Feng said with a mysterious face.
"Suffocation therapy?"
"Yes, since this bubble will burst sooner or later, instead of letting outsiders burst it, why don't you burst it? You can short the Thai baht yourself. When the Thai baht depreciates to a certain level, you can announce some favorable conditions to make foreign investors believe that the bubble has burst.
Everything will be better once we get down." Lu Feng said solemnly.
After hearing this, Maha was shocked. He looked at Lu Feng and said in disbelief: "You have the potential to be the Minister of Finance!"
"No, I just know a little bit about economics." Lu Feng said modestly.
"I'll call the finance guys here tomorrow and you guys can have a chat."
"ah?"
The move proposed by Lu Feng is definitely damaging. From a historical perspective, it is indeed the right thing to do. Instead of letting Soros and Robertson earn the money, it is better to let Maha earn it.
However, from a financial perspective, it is heinous to short one's own country. You must know that large outflows of capital mean factory closures, reduced consumption, massive unemployment, and high inflation. These problems are enough to destroy a country.
Maha agreed so happily because Lu Feng told him that it was because of the anchor exchange rate, and they felt that there was no loss. For example, if it was ten baht for one US dollar now, it would be twenty baht for one US dollar the next day, that is
A fifty percent loss.
Lu Feng extended the holding of stocks to currency, causing confusion and making Maha think that as long as the Thai baht is devalued as a last resort, the fleeing funds will wait for the price to rise and then be exchanged for foreign exchange. Little does he know that rapid depreciation will only accelerate the outflow of funds and cause a greater crisis.
run.
"I actually have a little thing to worry about when I come here this year. Our company is preparing to develop high-end manufacturing this year, but has been short of a set of photolithography machines. Some time ago, I heard that a company in the Czech Republic was preparing to sell it, which finally solved the urgent need.
But a new problem has arisen, and it will be troublesome to transport it back." Lu Feng said towards Maha.
"Is it troublesome to transport it back?" Maha asked in confusion: "Don't you even have a shipping company in your country?"
"Of course there is, but I'm very obstructed. As for me, I have offended a lot of people on Wall Street. These forces use various reasons to obstruct me. I still want to be more stable. After all, I am a private enterprise with no official background." Lu Feng
Seeing that he didn't know about the Wassenaar Agreement, he simply didn't mention it.
It’s just that I don’t have a harmonious relationship with Wall Street, and there are various obstacles on the road. For the sake of stability, I hope Maha can help me with it, and it’s best to put it together with his goods.
Maha said on the spot that there was no problem, and the two of them picked up their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. The dancing at the scene became even more intense, and the scene was a bit inconvenient to describe.
After three rounds of drinking, we had all the things to talk about. Maha could see that Lu Feng couldn't let him go, and she didn't want to spoil her interest, so she agreed to have dinner together at noon tomorrow, and then she didn't try to keep him.
After going downstairs, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. The lights were bright here. The open-air gathering place was in a mess. All kinds of clothes were discarded everywhere. The sound of swaying could be heard from far and near. Lu Feng listened to the sounds that were coming from far and near.
I couldn't tell whether it was pain or excitement.
Lu Feng always felt that he was neither a good person nor a bad person in that respect, but everything here made him feel like a great good person.
This is the case in the human world, everything is afraid of comparison.
The car had stopped in front of him. Before Lu Feng could get in the car, a man ran out. He kept yelling strangely and was naked. Lu Feng stared at the ridiculous scene in front of him with wide eyes. He was stunned.
.
Several servants chased after him and got into the car until they were out of sight. The driver felt that Lu Feng had never seen such a scene before, and said in English with a smile: "No need to make a fuss, I'm just having fun."
As the car drove out of the manor, Lu Feng leaned on his seat and suddenly thought of a joke. The rich pretended to be poor, replacing the car with an Audi and the house with a bungalow. He thought that no matter how poor a person is, he can only be like this, but the poor are here.
Think, no matter how rich a person is, he can only be like this.
Now he was told that the poor thought that the rich just had no worries about eating and drinking and could buy whatever they wanted. However, the rich had long since left the stage of eating, drinking and shopping. What they wanted was freedom, just like this manor, absolute freedom.
Back at the hotel, Lu Feng was a little drunk. He didn't even wash up. He fell asleep directly. When he opened his eyes, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. He suddenly remembered that there was a dinner at noon. He hurriedly got up and washed up. Just in the middle of his work, Ma
Someone from Ha called and said it would be postponed until the evening.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mahakankan woke up, called three people from the finance department, and explained Lu Feng's idea. He believed that this method was feasible, and felt that it was necessary for him to contribute to the country.
The three finance people looked at me and I looked at you. They all didn't dare to speak. They were secretly thinking, where did Prince Maha invite the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang? No one who knows anything about economics would say this.
.
"This matter still needs to be demonstrated. The current economy is complex. The reasons are multi-level and structural. Different signals should be released for different problems."
"The country is yours and mine. My dad always says that I don't do business. This time it's my turn to show my skills. I'll invite that friend to have dinner with me tonight and you guys can talk to him." Maha didn't want to hear more from them.
He said nothing, just gave an order and left.
After Maha left, the three of them looked uncertain. One of the middle-aged men said, "What should we do? It is completely inconsistent with the laws of economics."
"Hmph, I can see it." An older man said solemnly: "Economics and Thailand can only survive one or the other."
