Chapter 80 You hurt me, you should apologize to me
The bickering between Gu Kun and Soros cannot be completed in one day.
And he is not stupid. He cannot be limited by Soros's proposition and only compete with him in the field of "financial laws".
Gu Kun is neither a financier nor an economist, so he is not good at such nonsense. All his understanding of the Southeast Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 comes from the review of later generations.
If you want to use this kind of perception to copy answers and explain the answers satisfactorily, you can do it.
But arguing with experts is obviously not enough.
To take a step back, even if Gu Kun has done a lot of homework and understands a lot of economic and financial debate techniques and theories, it is not appropriate for him to say these things——
How come you, a world superstar and a guy who was born as the emperor of Lan Fangtu, are so good at complaining like a professor from a financialist country? Are you cheating, or should your brain be sliced and studied?
This is not in line with Gu Kun's character.
Therefore, Gu Kun very wisely chose "you hit yours, I'll hit mine"
If Soros wants to talk about economics and philosophy, he can talk about it. Gu Kun will never respond directly. He only refutes from the field of international relations and the topic of globalization ideology.
Talking about topics in the professional field of international relations is very consistent with Gu Kun's character, and even Zhu Youdong can say a few words.
Because the emperors of the small countries in the world basically have a background in international relations. The smaller the country, the more important it is to study this.
If you do your research well, you can do everything you want and betray your country for the sake of glory, and you can let a big country like Longyan Dayue leak out a little bit of aid funds from the fingers, it will be more powerful than a small country with a booger struggling for several years.
Otherwise, how can we use the words "Brother, I don't want to work hard anymore" to extract the highest profit?
In contrast, financial speculators like Soros who call themselves “philosophers” are relatively weak in the field of international relations where they need to play both sides of the coin and talk nonsense.
In the major of international relations, the biggest principle is that there are no principles. You have to pay attention to maximizing interests, and pay attention to whether you should be separated or not, and it is absolutely fatal for people who like to use philosophy and principles to engage in national relations.
There were several short exchanges of words that lasted from mid-December to late December.
The media also spread from television stations at the beginning to newspapers, magazines, and print media later.
Because of his poor national relations, Soros's several debates won support from economists including many universities in Malaya and Thailand, but his supporters were limited to the upper class elites.
However, the people throughout Southeast Asia are extremely resentful of Soros and have been fanned by Gu Kun. Every cold and reasonable word of Soros has been used by Gu Kun to incite hatred.
Gu Kun knew very well that it didn't matter what the Zhuan family said. What he wanted was to make the five or six billion people in Southeast Asia hate Soros, and by the way, spread this hatred to the whole house.
On December 24, Christmas Eve, Gu Kun once again took advantage of the holiday and spent a lot of money and resources to have the New York Times and other major media publish an appeal about him.
The content of the appeal is actually nothing. It is nothing more than a petition against a certain Secretary of State of Oceania. On behalf of the people of several Southeast Asian countries, the Secretary of State of Oceania is asked to publicly express his position. Does Soros's attitude represent the attitude of the Oceania government towards its Southeast Asian allies?
Should the various well-intentioned economic policies made by Southeast Asian countries based on their trust in Oceania's globalization propaganda should be harmed?
This appeal is actually of little effect. It is similar to how the White House in later generations has to make a formal response to issues that have accumulated 100,000 petition signatures. The other party is just forced to have a dialogue under pressure, but it does not necessarily have to make any substantive measures.
promote.
But after all, Gu Kun is the world's top traffic celebrity, and he has recently run a lot of media collaborations, so many people in Southeast Asia know about it.
The authorities in Malaysia, Thailand and other countries are also worried about the financial crisis and are trying to divert internal pressure. Therefore, some people from the authorities in these countries also followed Gu Kun and seconded the proposal to ask Oceania to make a formal response on this matter.
.
His Excellency Mr. Aubrey can only respond with a few ideological and principled phrases: Oceania supports all free market economies, including the financial field, and maintains free market economies.
These words are not to support Soros, nor are they to say that Soros is wrong. They are just indifferent words.
Just like in later generations, when the White House was asked to answer by 100,000 signatures, "Please ask the Oceania government to stipulate that tofu can only be eaten sweet," it politely responded, "This belongs to personal freedom and is not within the jurisdiction of the government authorized by the previous law to administer according to law."
"Inside" does not mean whether sweet or salty is better.
However, when so many countries in Southeast Asia are in mourning, this tough and cold response will more or less further subtlety the attitude of the uneducated people in Southeast Asia towards Oceania.
Gu Kun was also waiting for this moment. He was finally ready to ruthlessly defeat Soros after a certain secretary of state and other representatives of Oceania's official foreign attitude were dragged into the water.
On December 25, Christmas Day, Gu Kun went to Kuala Lumpur again and appeared on a talk show on Malay National Television.
…
This time, it was purely a one-man show interview, a bit like the way Sa Beining interviewed Ma Feng in later generations, with a stage, a host, and a bunch of onlookers who had some status.
Although they knew that Gu Kun might say some disrespectful words towards Western powers, considering that there were widespread complaints in Malaysia, Malaysia turned a blind eye.
If a foreigner says something, it will offend less people than if someone from your own country says something.
The female host was still Dani Green from last time. After she finished a bunch of foreshadowing words, she asked in a flattering tone: "Mr. Gu Kun, the recent conversations between you and Mr. Soros, and even some other Western dignitaries, are very popular among the people."
It has aroused heated discussion. What do you want to say about their latest response?"
Then, there is a highlight clip about how Soros and some people in Oceania fought back - these will not be shown in the studio, but the audience in front of the TV can see this clip.
After the camera cut back, Gu Kun said frankly: "I think that since they have said this, I actually have nothing to directly refute. My previous views, especially on economic and financial policies, are also political
Even the continuation of international relations', I believe everyone already understands it.
Just as Clausewitz said that war is a continuation of politics, a country's foreign economic policy is of course also a continuation of international relations. Take Thailand's previous move to bind the baht exchange rate to the U.S. dollar, for example. This has indeed led to the accumulation of risks.
lazy politics.
But we cannot deny that Thailand has not been bound in this way since ancient times. It was only after the disintegration of Lucia in 1991. The Thai authorities did this based on their trust in Oceania's ability to lead the free world in the new era.
.
However, Soros has recently been saying that he needs to use philosophy and a correct way of understanding the world to correct these "lazy policies". What he means is that Thailand's trust in Oceania is wrong. His Excellency Mr. Omumbu
To say that all this has nothing to do with the Oceania official is to say, 'I didn't ask you to relax your vigilance because you trusted Oceania. You relaxed your vigilance yourself.'
This is not surprising to me at all, because Oceania has had a centuries-old tradition of deceiving people in the name of supporting absolute financial freedom. I must clear their grievances. They are not targeting us people in Southeast Asia, because they can’t even
People are all such fools——
Two hundred years ago, when Oceania first became independent, friends who are not good at studying history may have overlooked one event, and that was Shays's Rebellion in Oceania. What was the essence of that incident? It was tens of thousands of people named Oceania.
The soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood for independence were unable to survive because the government defaulted on military pay during the Revolutionary War, so they could only sell the Confederate bonds paid for them at a low price to financial speculators headed by John Hancock.
So after Oceania achieved independence, John Hancock and his colleagues forced tens of thousands of Continental Army soldiers to die. Those people fought bloody battles for the country for eight years, and as a result, even their houses and farms were mortgaged and deprived of them. At that time,
What did that old scumbag Hamilton say? In fact, it was the same response as we heard today. They wanted to defend financial freedom, and the vested interests of speculators must be protected! So tens of thousands of rebels were later aroused, and only
We can invite Peanutton out again to destroy them.
Soros is the contemporary John Hancock, and some people in Oceania are the contemporary Hamilton. Of course, with their three views, they may still be proud of being called the contemporary Hamilton. They have never thought of being Hamilton.
Shame on Hamilton for printing U.S. dollars."
Gu Kun's words were so unrestrained that the TV station wanted to stop recording. Fortunately, they realized that this was not a live broadcast, so they decided to cut some scenes.
The female host was also a little scared and quickly brought the words back: "This seems to be a bit far. We don't care what the attitude of the Oceania team and their own people is. Let's talk about whether their attitude is appropriate and in line with justice."
Gu Kun chuckled: "Indeed, I don't need to find historical origins for them, let's just talk about it now. Now, according to Oceania, any country that loses one thing based on its trust in Oceania means that it lacks perspective and has nothing to do with others.
especially.
Any behavior that uses public opinion, destroys trust, or uses other means consistent with international law to suppress other countries' economic expectations and reap benefits should also be included in the new norms of international exchanges--but, I think, this kind of use of countries that trust countries in good faith before
The practice of cutting off flesh and blood without clarifying the rules will not last long. The asymmetry and opacity of the rules will be eliminated soon. The next time others learn the lesson, it will inevitably lead to a comprehensive and drastic deterioration of the international environment. At that time, Oceania will probably
It’s a bitter pill to swallow.”
Female host Dani: "Can you be more specific? Your general remarks just now seem to lack realistic basis."
Gu Kun: "Of course I can be more specific, but before that, I suddenly thought of an example."
