1006 [Negotiation] under
In the meeting hall—
Just when the female translator was feeling uneasy, Song Zhichao silently handed her the notepad in his hand.
The female translator hurriedly took it over, but she didn't dare to look at Song Zhichao.
Song Zhichao returned to his seat, sat down, then took a deep breath, looked at Du Lagong and others sitting opposite him, and said, "Sir, do you think our negotiations are meaningful?"
Du Lagong's dark old face smiled and said, "Mr. Song, what do you mean?"
"This time, several of us represent all Chinese businessmen in Thailand to discuss matters with you and others. We are full of sincerity, but what about you... We originally wanted to meet your king and discuss this matter in person, but you made excuses that the king could not come to participate in the meeting if he had something to do. Well, we just want to take this matter second-hand, but you always play the sidelines, turn a blind eye to the suggestions we put forward, and ignore our sincerity - do you think this is right?" Song Zhichao's words were sharp.
The originally scattered conference room was instantly filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Du Lagong still smiled, as if he was very immunized to Song Zhichao's accusations. "Mr. Song, you are joking. This time you took the initiative to find us and invited us to discuss the national gold reserves, and verbally promised to give out gold worth more than 3 billion US dollars to help us. To be honest, we are actually very touched."
"But no matter how moved you are, in fact, I think this kind of national event is not something you Thai Chinese businessmen should participate in. Oh, I'm sorry, it's not that I look down on you - you should also know that Thailand still respects you Chinese businessmen very much. After all, you have made great contributions to Thailand's economic prosperity and stability, but this time, you have really surpassed it."
"Is that?" Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "According to your opinion, we are purely self-indulgent this time. We originally wanted to help Thailand's gold reserves in order to deal with possible sudden crises in the future, but do you think we are cheating here?"
"It's not that meaning, Mr. Song..." This time he spoke was Wu Jiang beside Du Lagong. "It's not a secret that the economic situation in Thailand is like now. It's really bad recently and I really need your help, but the conditions you offer are too high. To be precise, it makes us feel burdened."
Wu Jiang and Du Lagong, one sings blushing and the other sings blushing, confronting Song Zhichao in tit-for-tat.
Song Zhichao smiled coldly, glanced at Yan Tong and the four major Chinese merchants around him, and said, "It seems that we were in the wrong place this time."
"Yes, I came here with great sincerity, but I didn't expect... it's better to leave!" Yan Tong stood up directly.
Li Sen and others also stood up.
Du Lagong and others looked at him with a smile, and didn't even move his butt, without any intention of trying to keep it.
Song Zhichao also stood up and said to Du Lagong and others: "Thank you for your reception. I will stay in Bangkok for a few more days, and I hope I can meet you later."
Du Lagong smiled and said, "I'll save you when I meet again - although Thailand's economic situation is not optimistic, it's not that bad yet, and you can't help you."
Wu Jiang, Tong Kai and others also laughed. In their opinion, the Chinese people came here to negotiate this time, saying that Thailand's economy was about to collapse, and they lacked foreign exchange and gold storage. They wanted to use the gold they hoarded as a condition to exchange for the interests of Thailand's political and economic interests.
How is this possible?
Thailand is a Thai country. How can a large group of Chinese businessmen control the country's economic and political lifeline? This is ridiculous.
...
If you don’t talk too much, you will have a lot of words.
Song Zhichao and others said goodbye one after another, took a Mercedes-Benz and left the Thai Palace again.
Looking at the departing convoy, the general manager Du Lagong sneered and said, "In this world, there are all kinds of people who cheat. Although our country's economy is declining sharply, it has not yet reached such an unbearable level."
"That's right! These Chinese people have too strange thoughts. Do you really think we Thais are fools?" Wu Jiang next to him echoed.
Tong Kai said worriedly: "With that being said, our economic situation is really not optimistic now! The real estate bubble is huge, and domestic price inflation is strong, just like a powder barrel. If anyone ignites it, it may explode... and our foreign exchange and gold reserves are really not enough to cope with the huge crisis."
Du Lagong looked at Tong Kai coldly: "Why didn't you say these words just now? Those Chinese obviously want to blackmail us. If you think so, you will be fooled by them!"
"This..." Tong Kai was mute, thought for a while, and hurriedly said, "I stand with everyone, especially with you, the general manager."
Du Lagong smiled, patted Tong Kai on the shoulder and said, "I love to hear your words - remember, everyone who stands with me is right!"
After saying this, Du Lagong suddenly said to the female translator standing beside him: "What did you write in your notepad just now? I saw that the surname Song was wrong."
"I..." The female translator didn't know how to explain.
"Take it and take a look!" Du Lagong ordered.
Helplessly, the female translator had to hand the notepad in her hand to Du Lagong.
Du Lagong glanced at it, frowned, and then handed the notepad to Wu Jiang and Tong Kai to watch.
Wu Jiang and Tong Kai had different expressions.
Seeing this situation, the female translator looked pale and was waiting guiltily for criticism.
After seeing that everyone had finished reading it, Du Lagong threw the notepad to the female translator again, and then said with his hands behind his back, "I asked you to remember less, but you drew random paintings for me."
The female translator's heart suddenly sank.
"But it doesn't matter. This time the Chinese people were talking nonsense, but it was the same if they could remember it!" After saying that, he laughed and turned around and left with everyone.
Female translation: "…"
stunned.
...
On the road in Bangkok—
In the Mercedes-Benz sedan, Yan Tong and Song Zhichao sat together.
"Mr. Song, it seems that those Thais are very guarded and don't believe in our prophecies at all." Yan Tong saw that Song Zhichao looked a little tired and couldn't help it, but he still said it.
Song Zhichao smiled and said to Yan Tong: "Many people in this world don't cry without seeing the coffin. We originally wanted to help them, but they imagined them as speculators and extortionists. Especially these people, they hold power but have too much selfishness - do you really think they are good for Thailand? As far as I know, many of them are even shorting Thailand themselves."
"No, this..." Yan Tong was a little surprised.
However, Song Zhichao knew clearly that when the economic crisis broke out in Thailand in his previous life, there were indeed some Thais who were shorting their own country's currency in order to make money, and they didn't care about the lives and deaths of their own country and their compatriots at all.
In fact, this is also because Thailand has a complex race. In addition to the natives of Thailand, there are Chinese, Malays, and even Indians in China. Most of them have only immigrated this century and do not have enough sense of identity with Thailand. Therefore, when the economic crisis broke out in Thailand, they would take their own opinions and even make a fortune in the national crisis. At worst, they could make more money and immigrate to better countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, etc.
"Then what should we do now?" Yan Tong asked.
Song Zhichao thought for a while, "Wait - wait for someone to come and ignite this barrel of explosives in Thailand."
"Light the explosive?"
Song Zhichao leaned back, closed his eyes and said, "In fact, the person who was preparing to light the explosives should be taking action."
Yan Tong: "You mean..."
