Dulade and Gu Kun chatted all afternoon, discussing some details on how to ensure that both parties fulfilled the contract and divided the spoils.
Because the process is too insidious, writing too much will easily increase the IQ of people who eat melons, so I won’t go into details.
When it was time to do so, Doulard asked a question that he had always been secretly concerned about but had not been able to ask before.
"Gu, now we have been honest with each other and cooperated sincerely. I hope you will be honest. This month, you pretended to be grounded in Lanfang. Are you just waiting for a situation like today to whet our appetite, and then be so cruel?
A good price."
Dulade asked while holding a champagne glass and clinking glasses with Gu Kun.
No matter how Gu Kun answers this question, it will not affect the implementation of cooperation, but it may make some people feel confused.
Gu Kun will either give a reasonable explanation or not say anything. If he insists on being coy and deceptive, then I'm afraid the effect will be counterproductive.
However, Doulard still miscalculated.
Gu Kun was very calm: "Of course I am not hiding from you. Your Highness has banned me, and of course I can resist. But the current situation is difficult and critical, and I have no time to think about that. I am in Lanfang these days, and I have made many arrangements for the general trend of the world.
If you think that Soros will stop after making you miserable, you are too underestimated. I was wrong about his ambition for the first time, and I will never be wrong again.
This is the second time. I sincerely hope to unite ASEAN countries and help each other in the same boat."
This explanation was very righteous, but because it was too general, it was impossible to judge whether it was true or false, so Dullard had no choice but to continue to dig deeper:
"Do you think he will use such intensity to short other countries? So what arrangements have you made? If it does not involve commercial secrets, could you please report it to the exchange and we will be grateful to you."
Gu Kun: "I can guarantee that with the cheating he exposed in the Thai baht transaction, he will not give up. It is not easy to gather hot spots with so much money.
After destroying the already artificially high Thai baht, he will take advantage of the panic and attack other surrounding niche currencies that are not so artificially high. Lanfang Elementary School is weak and others cannot control it. What can be done currently
, just to reduce losses on the ringgit issue.”
Doulard quickly asked: "Are you planning to hold on to the ringgit? It's impossible. I guess you should open a position in advance to follow the trend, make money and leave?"
Dullard himself asked as well, thinking about the plot in his mind, and couldn't help but sneer.
Haha, if you talk about helping other Southeast Asian countries, you are actually adding insult to injury to get a vote.
Gu Kun changed a very sincere tone: "I will not short the ringgit, I just want to protect myself and prevent myself from losses - you should know that Lanfang is too small, even its own central bank (Harmony) and currency
Never before. Our legal currency in circulation is ringgit and renminbi, both of which can be used.
This time, I feel that the size of the ringgit cannot be sustained. Although the Malay per capita income and per capita GDP are nearly twice as high as those of Thailand, the Malay population is less than half that of Thailand. In terms of economic aggregate, the Malay
Thailand is slightly smaller. Since the Thai baht cannot compete with Soros, the ringgit cannot compete with it either.
I stayed in Lanfang this month to assist His Highness in doing a big thing. We gradually and secretly called on the wealthy people in the country to replace deposits and securities assets from ringgit to renminbi as much as possible, so as to avoid the impending Soros crisis.
damaged in the attack.
This job is very complicated, so I had to personally sit in Lanfang for more than a month, secretly promote it, and fully use my prestige among the people. Now it seems that not everyone is willing to believe me, but those who really don’t believe it
, we have no choice but to let them bear the loss.”
"Really or not?" Dullard was in disbelief at first, but then he was relieved, "Oh, it is convenient for the country to be small and there are few management levels. The whole country can actually agree on such a big matter."
Whether Gu Kun did this or not will be known after a little investigation. Durad believed that Gu Kun would not tell such unnecessary lies.
He just felt that Gu Kun's judgment was a bit anticlimactic.
After pondering for a few seconds, Durade sighed and criticized: "If your vision is accurate, then I can only say that you have identified the first half, but you ruined a good hand. If you are destined to know the ringgit
If you can't hold on, you should just exchange it for US dollars. That's called absolute risk aversion.
In the end, you just exchanged RMB, what's the use of that? I think you just lost your mind in the business of tourists from China, Japan and South Korea, and blindly overestimated China's strength and international credibility. If the Ringgit and Thai Baht are both destroyed, the RMB will be the same
It will be destroyed. Don’t think that China has a population of 1.3 billion. They are so poor per capita!”
Of course, future generations will find Dullard's idea ridiculous, but in 1997, it definitely represented the attitude of those quasi-developed countries in Southeast Asia or developing countries with a higher level of development at that time.
At that time, even Thailand and the Philippines felt that China was very poor and had little strength.
Gu Kun didn't want to correct the other party's thinking. If the international community really wanted to think so, he would be happy to see it happen.
Because of this, it will be more logical for Lan Fang to turn to China in the future: in times of crisis, when we are seriously ill and seek medical treatment indiscriminately, we have no way out and can only move closer to China to protect ourselves.
If Oceania does not accept this result, then ask why it ignores its own dog Thoros and lets him bite people and attract hatred.
Oh no, how can we say that Wall Street is Oceania's dog? It should be more like saying that Oceania is Wall Street's dog.
…
After Dulade's meeting with Gu Kun, he said goodbye and left.
However, he did not return to China immediately. Instead, he spent an extra day in Lanfang, conducting overt and covert visits to verify what Gu Kun said.
After some confirmation, he saw with his own eyes a "Construction Bank" exchange point that had just been opened less than two weeks ago. Yes, it was the China Construction Bank in China. He also saw hundreds of Lanzhou civilians exchanging money there.
.
CCB does not directly receive ringgit and then deposit it, because it is estimated that the ringgit may depreciate. If it directly deposits ringgit, CCB will also have to worry about losing money in the future.
Therefore, it is still necessary to use the US dollar as an intermediary currency for exchange.
However, after all, CCB’s exchange points are convenient for the people. After sending out RMB here and getting the ringgit, CCB will send a escort ship to Maybank in Kuching at the end of the day every day to exchange the received ringgit through regular foreign exchange.
Channels are converted to US dollars.
This saves civilians the trouble of applying for US dollar quotas one by one. Moreover, not everyone in Lanzhou can afford to sail to neighboring countries. After CCB sets up points, it can greatly increase the popularity of money exchange among civilians.
Rate.
Dulade observed for a while, asked his assistant to prepare a few tips, and then grabbed a few Lanfang people who were queuing up and visited them secretly.
The first person he asked was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He looked respectable in a suit. He should be considered a member of the middle class in Lanfang, perhaps an owner of a large or medium-sized fishing boat.
"Sir, are you going to convert all your savings into RMB? May I ask how much money you are going to exchange?"
The other party looked at him warily. He was originally prepared to keep his wealth secret, but when he saw that Durad had hinted that he was a foreign dignitary and was just trying to secretly investigate people's feelings, he revealed softly in the spirit of making more friends:
"My savings and deposits are all in ringgit, because there were no Huaxia bank branches in Lanzhou. Now I am going to convert all 300,000 ringgit into 700,000 yuan. I still have some cash at home, both in yuan and ringgit. I can exchange it a little bit."
Just a little."
Dulade nodded secretly after hearing this, and interviewed a few more people, and the composition was similar.
Although Lanzhou originally traded with ringgit and renminbi, the renminbi was mainly used in cash transactions and deposits were very small.
The reason is that there is no Chinese bank branch/branch in Lanzhou. There are only branches of Maybank here. People who want to save RMB have no place to save it. Now they can finally save it.
"Does Gu Kun really believe that the RMB will not depreciate? If this is the case, after this battle, I am afraid that Lanfang will completely become a country with the RMB as the only local currency. Those financial dogs in Oceania really have no idea of the overall situation. In order to make money,
Money will destroy the overall diplomatic situation of the country." Durad sighed secretly, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The next day, he took a flight back to Thailand.
…
After Dulade left, Zhu Youdong immediately summoned Gu Kun and interrogated him in detail about the outcome of the meeting.
"The Thai people agreed to our conditions and will help us create a positive image, and will try their best to put us at the forefront of public opinion against Wall Street."
Gu Kun reported this.
After Zhu Youdong listened, he was silent for a while.
"I trust your judgment, so I have always let you take control. However, now that I think about it, is the attitude of neighboring countries really so important? Isn't it better to gain more without conscience?"
Over the past year, Zhu Youdong's greed has been a bit expanded, which is human nature. Because he has been following Gu Kun for a long time, money comes easily and easily drifts away.
This idea is actually very dangerous.
Gu Kun quickly remonstrated seriously: "How could your Highness think so? I have a very deep intention in shaping Lan Fang into a standard-bearer leading the financial struggle.
Have you forgotten? We have a civil aviation radar station, a gaming ship, and other possibilities for technical cooperation. But before, we relied on that idiot Zhu Jingye to provide intelligence to a certain IA, and we were innocent, so we didn’t attract anyone.
The hostility and destruction of Oceania.
I have always told you that we have to wait for an opportunity, wait for an opportunity to clearly break with Oceania, and let Oceania be wary of us and not dare to retaliate. Now, becoming the standard-bearer in Southeast Asia's fight against financial speculators is like this
An opportunity!
If we arouse the hostility of the entire Southeast Asia against Brittany and Oceania, and personally act as the warriors to cheer up. In this way, even from a military point of view, Li Jiapo's F15 fighter can easily launch a beheading operation, they will also
I don’t dare, or I can’t afford it.
They know that once I am killed for "exposing the plunder of Southeast Asia by the Wall Street forces of Oceania, and turning to the East because of my hatred of Wall Street," it will definitely intensify the hatred of the 5.6 billion people in Southeast Asia against the West. Which is more important here?
, they will figure it out clearly.
The Secretary of State of Oceania is not a fool. A certain ia looks beautiful, but in fact it is just a dog under the control of a certain Secretary of State. No matter how ferocious the dog is, it cannot decide who to bite against the will of its owner. From then on, as long as the Southeast Asian countries have
The resentment of Wall Street has not subsided, and those of us who carry the flag are safe.
And when these resentments subside, I believe that the yellow race forces around the world will be strong enough to protect us - at least within the scope of Southeast Asia and cover us."
Of course, if Lan Fang has the size and interests of Iraq, then it is estimated that even if killing Gu Kun will make five or six billion people hate Oceania, Oumou Bumute will still take action.
How old is Lan Fang? How many resources and benefits? Is it worth it to arouse so many people's anti-ocean sentiments for such a small thing?
Everything is just a transaction, a calculation of profits and costs.
