Chapter 46 Feast (2)

Zeng Lingfeng arrived in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia on the afternoon of 11.4. At this time, Indonesia had been affected by the financial crisis for more than four months, and it was full of sorrow.

As soon as Zeng Lingfeng arrived in Indonesia, Megawati was eager to send someone to see him. Zeng Lingfeng did not have the idea of ​​leaving her for a few days and agreed to meet her as soon as possible.

When she saw Megawati again, she looked very haggard. She is worthy of being the most influential person among the Indonesian people. It seems that she is indeed worried about the Indonesian people.

As soon as she saw Zeng Lingfeng, she no longer had the leisure to speak politely. Her first sentence was: "Mr. Zeng, I know that your company must also play a very important role in this economic crisis. However, please help me for the sake of our cooperation! After all, what I hope is not a devastated Indonesia."

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said slowly: "Ms. Megawati, my subordinates did participate in this operation. But you also know that I am just a businessman. Since I am a businessman, then what I value first is the interests. If I help you, where will my interests come from? I will even suffer great losses. If you stand from my perspective, do you think you will agree to such a request?"

Megavati thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zeng, since you said you are a businessman, you hope to get benefits. Tell me, how much benefits do you need to get so that you can help me?"

Zeng Lingfeng said: "Ms. Megawati, it is impossible to ask me to help Indonesia with the attacks of those financial oligarchs. Businessmen all value credibility, and now they are partners. It is impossible to let me turn around and deal with them. At most, I can only guarantee that my companies and personnel will no longer participate in the attacks on Indonesia. Moreover, this is conditional."

Megavati said anxiously: "What are the conditions?"

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said, "I want the Natuna Islands."

Megavati was shocked. She never expected Zeng Lingfeng to make such an excessive request to her. She shouted loudly: "Mr. Zeng, your conditions are too excessive, this is absolutely impossible!" Indeed, as any patriot, no one would agree to such conditions. If they agree, it would be a traitor and would be despised by all Chinese people.

Zeng Lingfeng said calmly: "There are indeed impossible things in this world, but this matter is not included. You must know that I can ignore your opinions and under appropriate conditions, you can do nothing about it. It is just out of respect for your partners that I have raised it to you first. I am just seeking a better place for the Chinese compatriots living in Indonesia. You must know that the living conditions of these Chinese compatriots in Indonesia really make me dissatisfied. Although they are not from the same country as me, and many of them no longer have much identity with my country and even their own nation, but after all, we are we shed the same blood, and I have to interfere with it."

Megawati also knew that what Zeng Lingfeng is the truth. It was very simple for Zeng Lingfeng to make Natuna independent. She knew the strength of the "Fox Hunting" mercenary organization. She also knew that the living environment of the Chinese in Indonesia was indeed not good. Although she sympathized with this, she never thought of helping her. This is something that almost all the natives in Indonesia had not considered. From the provisions in the Indonesian constitution, it can be seen that Indonesians have deep discrimination against Chinese and will never change. Even if she wanted to do this, she had to give up for her political future.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zeng Lingfeng continued, "If I can't get what I want, I have to do my best to make the obstacles I will suffer when I realize this plan through force."

Megawati was anxious and said loudly: "Mr. Zeng, we are partners, you can't do this!" Of course, she knew that Zeng Lingfeng's so-called resistance to implementing the plan was to take advantage of this economic crisis to fully combat Indonesia's economy, and even reach the point where Indonesia's economy collapsed, national chaos, and even completely fell into anarchy. And she knew that with Zeng Lingfeng's strength and these special conditions, he could do it completely.

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said, "Ms. Megawati has agreed to my conditions?"

Megavati said weakly as if she had completely lost her strength: "Tell me about your specific requirements!"

Zeng Lingfeng said: "What I want is the 2,110 square kilometers of land and a legal territorial economic zone in the entire Natuna Islands. As for whether it is independent or incorporated into China, it depends on the situation. In return, after you become president, I will provide Indonesia with a $50 billion interest-free loan to help Indonesia's economy rebuild. Of course, as a superficial reason, I need priority exploration and mining rights for mineral resources across Indonesia. After all, the fact that I plan for the independence or merger into China cannot be exposed. Ms. Megawati doesn't want this matter to be exposed, right?"

Megawati nodded, agreeing.

From the next day, Hanyu Mimeng Investment Bank withdrew from its attack on Indonesia. However, these funds fell on the heads of several other unlucky guys. Of course, although the attacks Indonesia has been weakened, it is not very obvious. After all, there are too many other institutions and individuals who have followed the trend.

Of course, Zeng Lingfeng did not join the attack on the Taiwan stock market. Although Taiwan's independent elements have been making a big fuss in recent years, it is still difficult to make such a decision to take action against Taiwan in person.

In late November, the Korean foreign exchange market, the stock market fell one after another, forming the third wave of the financial crisis. In November, the exchange rate of the Korean won continued to fall, with a sharp drop of 15% in half an hour on November 20, setting a new low of 1,200 won against 1 US dollar; by the end of November, the exchange rate of the Korean won against the US dollar fell by 30%, and the Korean stock market fell by more than 20%. At the same time, the Japanese financial crisis further deepened. In November, several banks and securities companies in Japan went bankrupt or went bankrupt, and the Japanese yen also fell below the 135 yen mark against the US dollar, depreciating by 20% from the beginning of the year.

The reason why these two countries suffered heavy losses compared to their previous lives was that Zeng Lingfeng increased his attacks on these two countries. To be honest, Zeng Lingfeng was really unhappy about these two countries, especially those who lacked some favoritism for Bangzi. Some of the actions of Bangzi in his memory in his previous life were really hateful.

In South Korea, the attacked won depreciated wildly for 50% in more than two months, and the country's economy was almost on the verge of collapse. The South Korean government had to ask for emergency assistance from the United States, Japan and the International Monetary Fund, with the loan amount reaching a global record of 55 billion US dollars, and was forced to commit to implementing strict economic plans and reducing economic growth rates, and economic autonomy was once lost.

The South Korean government issued a policy to tighten the belt to all civil servants, requiring civil servants to deposit at least 10% of their salary into the bank, while the people spontaneously donated their gold, silver and jewelry at home. In the storm, South Korea's unemployment rate was as high as 15%, domestic enterprises suffered a loss of at least 4 trillion won in exchange difference, and the repayment of foreign debt principal and interest increased by 5 trillion won. Many large South Korean companies declared bankruptcy or fell into desperate situations, including Daewoo Group, which was regarded as a benchmark by Chinese companies in previous years.

When the storm swept, Daewoo, which had been in rapid expansion, was already in debt, and the company's borrowing funds reached a scale of 20 billion US dollars. Faced with the crisis, Daewoo Group of South Korea adopted a series of contraction plans. However, it doubled its bets on the automobile business and raised $13.5 billion in short-term debt funds by issuing large amounts of high-interest bonds and commercial paper. It successively took over Shuangyong Automobile and Samsung Automobile and continued to advance its international auto giant strategy. By the end of the year, Daewoo's main lending bank refused to further lend it. Less than two years later, at the beginning of 1999, Daewoo, which had debts of 80 billion US dollars, finally declared bankruptcy.

In Japan, although the yen was not directly attacked, the turbulent tightening effect quickly spread to all real estate industries. On September 18, the Japanese retail star company Babaiban Company filed for bankruptcy. This is a legendary company that Chinese consumers are very familiar with. The founder of the local area Kazuna Wata started working as a child workplace at the age of ten. It started with a traditional Japanese woman running a vegetable and fruit field shop. After 40 years, it has developed into a large multinational company with sales of 5 billion US dollars in annual sales and 400 department stores and supermarkets around the world. The Japanese TV series "Ashin" filmed as the prototype of her life once set the highest ratings record in China. At the end of 1995, when the 1800 Shanghai opened, a total of 1.07 million customers flocked to the Guinness World Record that day.

Asian financial storms are taking turns in countries around China, and the tragic scene is terrifying. Financial capitalism and globalization show its fierce and powerful destructive side. This will naturally affect China's real estate industry economy and people's mentality. In the midst of a sharp drop in global stock markets, the Chinese stock market, which was quite active in the past, also fell into a slump. The consumer market is even more depressed.

After several years of macro-control, the pressure of inflation has gradually released, and the inflation rate has almost dropped to zero, but the situation of overcooling consumption has also appeared. According to a report by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, by mid-1998, the total value of industrial inventory products in the country exceeded 3 trillion yuan, and there was a structural surplus, and more than 90% of industrial products were oversupply.
