Chapter 389 Deviation
(Sorry, I'm late to come back.)
The next morning, Zhao Dongsheng went to the airport to see Yamashita Katsuya and Shangxia Yingzi. Yamashita Katsuya's eyes were a little rosy when she left, and her eyes looked at Zhao Dongsheng full of reluctance. Unfortunately, Zhao Dongsheng was only concerned about chatting with Yamashita Katsuya and did not notice the strangeness of Yamashita Katsuya.
However, as an outsider, Han Susu keenly discovered this and secretly saw it in her eyes. She was surprised: If it weren't for the true feelings of Sakurako Yamashita when she left, she wouldn't have known that Sakurako Yamashita actually had such a deep affection for Zhao Dongsheng.
Just the day after Yamashita Yasuyoshi and Sakurako Yamashita left, a news program of Zhongshita One night broadcast an emergency news. The Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Thailand announced that the Thai currency would implement a floating exchange rate system, and the value of the Thai baht was determined by the market, giving up the 14-year package of exchange rate system that had been pegged to the US dollar since 1984.
This urgent news did not attract the attention of the domestic people because it was too far away for them and had no connection with their lives. However, it was a big event for domestic economic people, and they began to pay attention to this currency sniper war in Southeast Asia initiated by international speculators.
Zhao Dongsheng learned the news several hours earlier than Zhongshiyi. To be honest, he was not happy at all. He couldn't help but sigh, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which means that countless families in Southeast Asia and even Asia will go bankrupt as a result.
The Thai government's announcement of the implementation of the floating exchange rate system not only marked the defeat of the Thai government in a contest with international investors such as Soros, but also marked the official outbreak of the Asian financial crisis.
On that day, the exchange rate of Thai baht to the US dollar fell by 20%, foreign exchange and other financial markets were in chaos, and international speculators gained a lot.
Since June, Bill has earned $4 billion from the Thai foreign exchange, stock market and futures market, plus $1 billion in May, making a total profit of $5 billion.
Gong Qingmin couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he learned about the news. If he had known that the money had been so easy, he would have invested more money in it.
After winning the Thai market, international speculators were greatly encouraged and began to wield the financial sword in their hands to attack other countries in Southeast Asia. Philippine peso, Indonesian rut and Malaysian ringgit have successively become targets of attack by international speculators.
The failure of the Philippine Peso has become the second target of international speculators after Thailand. Faced with the aggressive international speculators, the Philippine central bank tried to raise interest rates four times within a week, increasing the overnight lending rate between banks from 24% to 30%, and announced the widening of the ups and downs of the peso exchange rate to the US dollar, striving to fight Soros.
In Manila's foreign exchange market, the peso sells in a turbulent manner, and the Philippine central bank was forced to take over at 26.*4:1, and it has sold $400 million in less than an hour.
On July 15, the Philippine Central Bank announced the depreciation of the peso under pressure and implemented a floating exchange rate. The peso that had lost support plummeted from 26:1 to 45:1 on the 29th, which was terrible, marking the complete loss of the Peso defense war.
Subsequently, international speculators took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore became their prey one after another, and governments in various countries resisted one after another.
However, under the tough situation of international speculators led by Soros, governments of all countries were unsatisfied, so they gave up their defense actions and began to surrender, as if they were not able to fight back, allowing their own currencies to rise and fall in the market.
This makes international currency speculators even more confident and are rushing to the Southeast Asian financial market for a while, causing everyone in Southeast Asian countries to be in danger, and the financial authorities of various countries have tried their best to avoid falling into this quagmire.
The aggressive arrogance of international speculators made countries in the Asia-Pacific region uneasy. In late July, senior representatives of central banks and financial authorities in 11 countries and regions, including China, Japan, South Korea, etc. held a meeting.
The representatives of the countries present believed that a stable money market was very important and would cooperate with the International Monetary Fund to provide new aid measures to the relevant countries and assist member countries in making economic adjustments if necessary, which brought good news to the stormy Southeast Asian countries.
In early August, the governor of the Bank of Thailand announced his resignation and took responsibility for Thailand's failure in this financial war. The Thai government then agreed to accept the backup loan plan and package of measures with strict conditions in the International Monetary Fund and formally accepted international aid.
On August 9, Zhao Dongsheng set off and flew to Haidu City to inspect the work of various departments of Haidu Warwick Group. Sun Wei, director of the Warwick Group's Haidu City Office, went to the airport to pick up the plane.
The next morning, Zhao Dongsheng went to Sky Computer Research Co., Ltd., and general manager Tang Jie reported to Zhao Dongsheng about the company's work in the first half of the year.
In the afternoon, Zhao Dongsheng appeared outside the theater of the Haidu Youth Palace, followed the crowd into the theater, and went to watch the Haidu Middle School Students' Song and Dance Competition held here in the afternoon. He promised Bai Xin to see what he wanted during the Chinese New Year.
The reason why Zhao Dongsheng came to Haicheng City this time was an excuse for inspecting work. The main purpose was to watch Bai Xin's competition. His seat was in the sixth row in the front, which was a very good seat. The judges sat in the first row. After each contestant finished the performance, they would score the score.
There were many people coming to watch the competition, and the theater with more than 2,000 people was soon filled with people. People chatted and kneaded melon seeds, the sound was noisy and very lively.
"Uncle, in the stands." Zhao Dongsheng didn't know anyone around him, so he sat in his seat and read the newspaper. His cell phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that Bai Xin had sent him a text message.
Zhao Dongsheng looked up at the stage ahead and saw Bai Xin hiding behind the curtain and waved her hand to him with a smile. Her face was already covered with makeup and red. Zhao Dongsheng smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Bai Xin will perform today in singing. She will sing "Grandma's Penghu Bay", singing and dancing with her accompaniment. The result of the lottery is the third to appear.
Sure enough, just like Zhao Dongsheng's memory, Bai Xin's performance won the highest score from the off-court judges and became the first place in the competition. The deputy mayor in charge of education in Haidu gave her a trophy.
After the game, Bai Xin, who was with her parents, was surrounded by reporters for interview. Zhao Dongsheng stood from afar, smiling at the scene in front of him, and was happy for Bai Xin.
The next afternoon, Zhao Dongsheng and Bai Xin met at the amusement park. Bai Xin wore a blue casual outfit and a white sun hat on her head, which was pretty and beautiful.
In order to avoid being recognized, the two of them wore masks on their faces and played happily in the playground for an afternoon of thrillingly.
"Uncle, someone gave me a business card yesterday and wanted me to attend an audition for a costume drama. What do you think?" When eating in a restaurant in the evening, Bai Xin remembered something and said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile.
"Clothing drama?" Zhao Dongsheng was slightly stunned. In his impression, Bai Xin did not seem to have auditioned for a costume drama crew after winning the first place in the middle school singing and dancing competition. Then he realized that it might be that he had influenced some history, so he asked quietly with a smile, "What crew?"
"The Tang Dynasty's Wind and Clouds, the male and female protagonists are starring a popular domestic star. There are thirty episodes to be filmed. My role is the female protagonist's maid." Bai Xin's eyes immediately showed an excited look when she heard this.
"What do you think?" Zhao Dongsheng is usually busy with work and is not clear about the trends in the entertainment industry. He heard the name "The Storm of the Tang Dynasty" for the first time. He felt that Bai Xin seemed to be quite interested in it and looked at her with a smile.
"I want to try it, and my parents also think it's a good temper for me." Bai Xin smiled at Zhao Dongsheng and said with a smirk, "If I accidentally become a big star, I will let you be my agent at that time."
"I want to be your agent, but unfortunately my personality is not suitable for being in the entertainment industry. It would be better to hire a professional agent." Zhao Dongsheng laughed and shook his head at Bai Xin.
"I've just stepped down before I even started? I actually think you are quite suitable. You have been traveling around the world for so many years and have rich social experience." Bai Xin flashed her big eyes and looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a smile.
"This is two different things. The so-called "jobs are like mountains" and there are many tricks here, but I can't do it." Zhao Dongsheng smiled and picked up a chopstick dish for Bai Xin. It was not that he could not be Bai Xin's agent, but he could definitely be like a fish in the entertainment industry with his ability, but he had no choice but to be, unless he resigned from all public offices.
"Since you agree, I will go to the crew audition with my parents tomorrow morning." Bai Xin no longer insisted on the agency matter and said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile, "If you have time in the past few days, go to the crew and cheer me up."
"Okay." Zhao Dongsheng nodded with a smile. He knew that the entertainment industry was mixed with dragons and snakes, so he was not relieved that Bai Xin would join the crew of "The Storm of the Tang Dynasty", so he planned to go to the scene to avoid anyone taking the opportunity to make Bai Xin's idea.
"Thank you." Bai Xin saw Zhao Dongsheng agreeing, and smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for Zhao Dongsheng. It was her first time to audition, and she couldn't help feeling guilty. If Zhao Dongsheng was there, she would feel much more at ease.
