Back to 1988

Apparently, Maha was familiar with the ghosts and monsters at the scene, and had a great time communicating with these people. He drank a few glasses of wine and flirted with a coquettish woman at the scene, until the people around him reminded him about it an hour later. Think 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 to the building, and went up to the second floor. In a luxuriously decorated private room, Maha sat on the sofa, watching When Lu Feng walked in, he stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, my dearest friend."

Lu Feng got goose bumps when he heard these words, if he really wants to talk about brothers, it has to be him.

The two shook hands with indescribable intimacy. People who didn't know thought they were brothers who had reunited after a long time. Lu Feng sat on the sofa and looked at the environment of the room. He always felt that this was not a matter of conversation. children's place.

Drinks, dice, and some weird toys are placed on the table in front of you. There are a dozen girls standing behind the sofa. Their clothes are not in compliance with the regulations, but they twist their bodies and dance with the live music.

Only Lu Feng and Maha were sitting at the scene, and even Sirami stood aside like a servant. This situation made Lu Feng feel that he had returned to ancient times, and understood what is called a prince.

"I'm not very suitable for this kind of environment." Lu Feng said awkwardly.

"Mr. Lu, you must learn to enjoy. Look, these are all beauties. Don't you have a saying that beauty can be eaten? You can enjoy beauty while eating and drinking. Sirami, didn't you practice singing some time ago?" Well, sing one." Maha ordered.

Sirami picked up the microphone and sang local songs, and the backup dancers behind him walked over to the sofas attached to Lu Feng one by one on both sides. There were a few servants squatting by the table, and they could point at whatever they wanted, except for opening their mouths. Do nothing.

Lu Feng looked at the scene and sighed in his heart, this is the real imperial trick!
Maha chatted for a while at the side, nothing more than asking Lu Feng how he was doing in the past few years, and after drinking a few more glasses of wine, he turned to the topic and asked: "Recently, I also have a bit of a headache. Our domestic practice is Anchoring the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. In the past few months, domestic capital has been exchanging their Thai baht for U.S. dollars and flowing overseas. This kind of problem is a headache for the country. Although I don’t care about it, I want to share the country’s worries. "

"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 created economic prosperity. However, these funds are all 'smart money'. Most of them are concentrated in the financial sector, which is a little turbulent. Naturally, It’s better to run first.” Lu Feng explained to him: “The outflow of a large amount of funds 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 trouble." Maha leaned forward and asked, "Didn't you say that you have all-hands in China? Is there any real news?" , will they fight?"

Lu Feng was taken aback when he heard this question. He didn't expect that he didn't blame Mi Country for the problem here, but Huaxia.

"I'm not talking about the turmoil. It has nothing to do with it. It's the United States. I heard that the Fed over there is going to raise interest rates." Lu Feng replied.

Maha clicked his tongue softly, obviously dissatisfied with Lu Feng's answer, and waved to the side, and handed over a cigar, and the servant next to Lu Feng also handed the cigar.

Maha took a puff and said, "I heard that Asia is going to be chaotic."

"Chaos? Where is the chaos going? I haven't 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 pegged to the US dollar, or implement individual quotas. No more than the amount of foreign exchange exchange for each person... "

"What's the use of what you say? We have an agreement with the United States to open up. Besides, if there is a fight, I have to leave a way for myself. This year I have exchanged a batch of my assets into US dollars. It's over there." Maha said quite frankly.

Even if the prince feels that something is wrong, he will go to the United States, let alone other capitals.

Lu Feng saw that he was very tense, and comforted him: "If you can't fight, you must not spread this matter. I also heard from a friend above that if you want the Thai baht to be stable, you can't give face to the United States. As long as If you don’t take out foreign exchange, the currency will be stable, and a slight depreciation is also good, which can promote exports and international tourism.”

Lu Feng chatted with him from the perspective of currency and finance for a while, so that he can take some actions. As long as the range is not large, the United States will not say anything, let alone worry about war. They are unwilling or afraid to do foreign exchange restrictions, but Lu Feng also thought of a trick for him.

"If the Thai baht is indeed hydrated and is being sold out, then I have a 'suffocation therapy'." Lu Feng said mysteriously.

"Asphyxiation therapy?"

"Yes, since this bubble will burst sooner or later, instead of letting outsiders burst it, it is better for you to burst it. You can short the Thai baht yourself. When the Thai baht depreciates to a certain level, you will announce some favorable conditions to convince foreign investors that the bubble has burst. It means everything will be fine." Lu Feng said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Maha was astonished and looked at Lu Feng in disbelief: "You have the potential to be the Minister of Finance!"

"No, no, I just understand some economics." Lu Feng said modestly.

"Tomorrow, I'll call the financial people over, and you can talk."

"what?"

Lu Feng's move is definitely bad enough. From a historical point of view, it is indeed a correct thing. Instead of letting Soros and Robertson earn the money, it is better to let Maha earn it.

But from a financial point of view, shorting one's own country is heinous. You must know that a large amount of capital outflow means that factories have closed down, consumption has declined, mass unemployment, and inflation have risen. These problems are enough to destroy a country.

Maha agreed so readily because Lu Feng told him that it was because of the pegged exchange rate, and they felt that it was not a loss. For example, if ten baht is exchanged for one US dollar now, and the next day becomes twenty baht for one US dollar, that is Lost fifty percent.

Lu Feng extended the lock-up of stocks to the currency, causing confusion, making Maha think that as long as the Thai baht is devalued as a last resort, the fleeing funds will wait for it to rise and then be exchanged for foreign exchange. run on.

"I came here this time, and I actually have a small matter of my own. This year, our company is planning to develop high-end manufacturing, but we have been short of a lithography machine. Some time ago, I heard that a company in the Czech Republic was ready to sell, and finally solved the urgent need. But there is a new problem, and it will be troublesome to transport it back." Lu Feng said to Maha.

"Is it troublesome to transport it back?" Maha was quite puzzled, "Don't you even have a shipping company in your country?"

"Of course there are, but they are very obstructed. As for me, I have offended a lot of people on Wall Street. These forces use various reasons to hinder me. I still want to be more stable. After all, I am a private enterprise and have no official background." Lu Feng Seeing that he didn't know the Wassenaar Agreement, he didn't mention it at all.

It's just that the relationship with Wall Street is not harmonious, and there are various stumbling blocks on the road. I also want to be safe. I hope Maha can help with it, and it is best to put it with his goods.

Maha said there was no problem on the spot, and the two drank the wine in one gulp, and the dance on the scene became even hotter, and the scene was a bit inconvenient to describe.

After drinking for three rounds, it was time to chat. Maha saw that Lu Feng couldn't let go, and he didn't want to spoil his interest, so he agreed to have lunch together tomorrow, and then he didn't want to keep him anymore.

When I went downstairs, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, the place was brightly lit, the open-air place for the party was in a mess, all kinds of clothes were discarded everywhere, and the sound of waves could be heard from far and near, Lu Feng listened to the distant and near The sound is hard to tell whether it is 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 that he was a very good person.

This is the case in the world, everything is afraid of comparison.

The car had already stopped in front of him, and before Lu Feng could get in the car, a man ran out, screaming strangely, with no clothes left. Lu Feng stared at the absurd scene in front of him with wide eyes, and was stunned. .

Several servants chased after them, and got into the car until they couldn't see it. The driver felt that Lu Feng had never seen such a scene, and said in English with a smile: "Don't make a fuss, it's just high."

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, and exchanged the car for an Audi and the house for a bungalow. Think, no matter how rich a person is, that's all.

Now they tell him that the poor think that the rich have nothing to worry about, and they can buy whatever they want, but the rich have already left the stage of eating, drinking and shopping. What they want is freedom, just like this manor, absolute freedom.

Back at the hotel, Lu Feng drank a little too much, didn't even wash up, fell asleep directly, opened his eyes, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, suddenly remembered that there was dinner at noon, and hurriedly got up to wash up, just halfway through work, Ma Ha's people called and said it was postponed until evening.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Maha woke up, called the three people from the finance department, and explained Lu Feng's idea. He believed that this method was feasible, and felt that he had to contribute to the country.

The three people in finance look at me and I look at you, they are afraid to speak, and they are thinking to themselves, where did Prince Maha invite the reincarnated Zhuge Liang, but anyone who knows a little about economics will not say this .

"This matter still needs to be demonstrated. The current economic complexity is due to multi-level and structural reasons. Different signals should be released for different problems."

"The country belongs to you as well as mine. My father always said that I don't do business. This time it's my turn to show my talents. I will invite that friend to dinner at night. You can talk to him." Maha didn't want to hear more from them. What to say, just give an order and leave.

After Maha left, the expressions of the three were uncertain, and one of the middle-aged men asked, "What should I do? It doesn't conform to the laws of economics at all."

"Hmph, I figured it out." An older man said in a deep voice, "Economics and Thailand can only live together."
