The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 965: Opportunity for Layout
This is what it means to boil a frog in warm water.

Unconsciously, over the past decade or so, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Moreover, Myanmar is a marginal country in the world and almost no one in the world pays attention to it.

Who wants to pay attention to one of the least developed countries in the world?

Even if there is some news, it will only appear in tabloids and will never be included in the mainstream media.

In Europe and the United States, many people do not know that there is a country called Myanmar. Some of those who know Myanmar either have the impression that Myanmar is a British colony or that Myanmar is a military government.

The image of the Burmese government in Europe and the United States is not good, because after Myanmar's independence, the mainstream media in Europe and the United States have promoted Myanmar as a dictatorial military government. After Aung San Suu Kyi came to the stage, her father Aung San was introduced in Europe and the United States, that is, he was in cahoots with the Japanese, so naturally the impression was not good.

Liu Tao was naturally well aware of the little thoughts of the Chinese in Myanmar.

But he didn't object. Instead, he was happy to see it.

Anyway, the cake is so big that there is room for everyone to eat.

It is always better to give it to your own people than to outsiders.

Chinese and overseas Chinese families have strong martial virtues, which is a good thing. They can protect themselves and fight for their own interests.

Weapons and equipment worth 40 billion RMB were sold half and given away half.

It is very exaggerated to say that after so many years, almost twenty years, China’s ammunition depot has not been emptied yet.

It is conceivable that when China was facing great danger, it was truly preparing to fight a protracted war, a people's war that would last for ten or even twenty years, and trap the invaders in the ocean of people's war.

Fortunately, the polar bear or the eagle sauce didn’t try it. If they had tried it, I guarantee it would have tasted great.

Liu Tao's goal is to completely clear out those weapons and ammunition before the millennium.

As for the domestic market, only a small amount needs to be left for museum exhibition.

Myanmar, Indonesia and the Philippines are the targets for clearing inventory.

Of course, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East are also important inventory clearance targets.

Liu Tao invited Chen Dongsheng to eat mutton hotpot, and Chen Dongsheng did not leave the courtyard until almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

Liu Tao opened the gift box sent by Chen Dongsheng, which contained a jade pendant, a jade pendant, and a jade bracelet.

Glass imperial green!

Liu Tao shook his head slightly. It was really generous of him to give such an expensive gift as a meeting present.

Glass-type imperial green is the king of jade and is very expensive. A glass-type imperial green bracelet on the market can easily be sold at a sky-high price of several million.

Judging from the carving on this gift box, it must have been specially made by a master. Such a set may be worth 10 or 20 million RMB.

Liu Tao did not ask his secretary to return the money. Instead, he registered it and reported it to the relevant departments. As for how the relevant departments would deal with it, that was the business of the relevant departments.

Liu Tao has received a lot of gifts like these over the years. People would feel uneasy if he didn't accept them.

In order to get things done, I had no choice but to accept it.

The next day, I woke up early.

Looking at Zhu Lin who was still sleeping, Liu Tao did not wake her up. He washed up, changed his clothes, picked up the white shirt on the ground and threw it into the laundry basket.

I have to say, white shirts are YYDS! In recent years, in order to have harmonious sex, the two have also worked hard in this regard.

In the wardrobe, there are at least three sets of costumes of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women and at least five sets of costumes of Bai Suzhen, all of which were custom-made.

As for stockings, shirts, nurse uniforms, stewardess uniforms, high heels, etc., they have everything.

He walked out of the master bedroom and gently patted his waist.

Time is a butcher's knife, cutting one thing after another.

At the age of 42 this year, Liu Tao also feels what it means that time is unforgiving!
If you don't accept your age, you will have back pain the next day.

After breakfast, I went to the study and took out my treasured notebook.

I don’t know how many pages have been torn off the front of the notebook, and I guess only half of the pages are left.

He would take out this notebook at least once a year to review what he had learned and make plans for the future.

Just like at the beginning of this year, he was already planning for Southeast Asia!

In other words, he has been planning for Nanyang for more than ten years, and now he has finally ushered in an important opportunity.

Although it will be cruel, I don’t know how many people in Nanyang will go bankrupt in this crisis, it could be hundreds of thousands or even millions of families. I also don’t know how many people in Nanyang will die in this crisis, it could be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

But for the sake of living space and backyard, we have to do it no matter how cruel it is.

Let this generation suffer first, and future generations will be happy.

After more than ten years of development, a considerable amount of bubbles have accumulated. This wave is just the right opportunity to de-bubble and squeeze out the moisture.

Although he is not in Hong Kong, Liu Tao is always paying attention to Hong Kong and the entire Nanyang.

In fact, everything was progressing according to his plan. At this time, Nanyang was already in a state of panic.

On July 7, facing the attack of international hot money, Thailand was forced to announce that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a managed floating exchange rate system. The Thai baht plummeted by 2% that day, causing chaos in Thailand's foreign exchange, financial and other markets.

On July 7, the Philippine central bank, exhausted from maintaining the exchange rate, allowed the Philippine peso to fluctuate freely. The peso depreciated by 12% within a few hours and the interest rate rose to 6% overnight!

Soros was at the peak of his career, his influence was unstoppable, and he became the most famous financier in the world.

Soros has been engaging in capital operations and financial speculation under the international order established by the United States, attacking the British pound, shorting the Mexican peso, and shorting the United States. This time, Soros has launched an attack on Southeast Asian finance.

For more than a decade since the 20s, the average annual growth rate of GDP of major Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines has exceeded 80%, and their economic growth rate is second only to China. The economic situation can be described as very good.

Malaysia's per capita GDP reached $1996 in 4900, and Thailand's per capita GDP was $1996 in 3000. According to the World Bank's standards, both countries have entered the middle-income countries. The next step is high-income countries, and it's only a matter of time before they open champagne to celebrate.

However, when the economy was developing rapidly and the situation was very good, these countries actually had great hidden dangers.

The economy is booming, and the stock and property markets are booming. In order to spare no effort to attract foreign investment, Southeast Asian countries generally adopt a foreign exchange system that is pegged to and closely follows the US dollar. This is also a helpless move under the international financial order dominated by the United States.

There is no way. The EU has always been the maker of the rules of the game. They are both referees and players. If you have an opinion, you cannot complain, you can only keep it.

Before Soros shorted the Thai baht, Thailand was actually already in crisis. The economy was overheated, hot money flowed into the stock and property markets, the bubble expanded infinitely, and housing prices were pushed up infinitely.

Who could have imagined that housing prices in Bangkok, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Singapore, and Jakarta, Indonesia would actually exceed those in Hong Kong?
Even in Manila, Philippines, the housing prices are not far from Hong Kong.
