When you see the teacher, you should say hello. This is a basic principle that all primary school students understand.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the minimum respect for the high-ranking people. Now when Lin Guodong meets, he just says don't urge me. Although Zhou Ming doesn't know how dissatisfied King Mara IX was with Lin Guodong's performance before, and whether he had urged him many times, it is necessary to say hello humbly when he sees the king, which only means that this person's emotional intelligence is not enough.

Mara IX spread his hands and told Zhou Ming that he was helpless towards such a person. If it weren't for the current severe economic situation in Thailand and Lin Guodong was indeed very talented, he wouldn't have tolerated it.

Seeing Mara IX's performance, Lin Guodong saw Zhou Ming who was following him. Only then did he realize his loss of composure just now, so he hurriedly apologized to Mara IX's greetings, and then asked Mara IX's identity of Zhou Ming.

"This is Mr. Zhou Ming, who comes from China. This time I bring him to find you urgently, there is a very important matter to discuss."

Although Mara IX was not satisfied with the attitude of his Minister of Finance, he still briefly introduced Zhou Ming's identity and purpose of coming to Lin Guodong.

Lin Guodong showed a surprised expression after hearing this: "Chinese? Which leader are you from China? Are you here for an official visit to Thailand? Otherwise, how could you alarm His Majesty the King to bring you to me personally?"

Zhou Ming smiled and told him: "I am not the leader of China, and I don't have the qualifications. I am just an ordinary businessman from China. This time, please ask His Majesty King Mara IX to bring me to the Minister of Finance. I hope to discuss with you the current economic situation in Thailand."

"Minister Lin, Mr. Zhou Ming is a very outstanding businessman. He has very unique insights in the financial field. Listening to his opinions may be of great help to our current situation." Mara IX also helped.

Lin Guodong looked at Zhou Ming meaningfully: "I'm sorry... Mr. Zhou Ming, maybe I'm a little ignorant. I don't know that there are people who understand finance in the inland China where there is not even an exchange. This makes me feel incredible."

Zhou Ming retorted mercilessly: "That may be really ignorant. China's first exchange was found five years ago, and it is developing very quickly now. The capital market is also very active after being activated."

"But so what? Is there anything else to do after only five years of development? Do you know that the Bangkok exchange has been established for more than 30 years, and your experience is not worth mentioning at all in our place."

Lin Guodong also retorted Zhou Ming. Looking at Mara IX's unhappy expression, Lin Guodong continued: "Originally, according to my idea, our meeting could end here, because I don't think there is any need, but since you are the one brought by King Mara IX, I can give you a chance to hear what your opinions are."

"I hope Thailand will give up the fixed exchange rate pegged to the US dollar and implement a floating exchange rate," said Zhou Ming.

Lin Guodong was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that Zhou Ming would say such words so directly. Zhou Ming also deliberately made such directness, because the expression of Lin Guodong just now showed his perfunctory heart. It can be said that no matter how scattered he said, he might not listen. So instead of doing this, it would be better to be a little bit straightforward.

After hearing Zhou Ming say this, Lin Guodong, who had been perfunctory just now, calmed down. He was stunned for a while and then laughed: "So this is the reason why Mr. Zhou Ming begged His Holiness here? It is indeed very important. Now Mr. Zhou Ming, I have understood what you mean, and I think our conversation can end here."

After Lin Guodong said that, he stood up and said to Mara IX: "His Majesty the King is sorry that I really have a lot to do. I will talk to ASEAN and the World Monetary Organization next. The schedule is very tight and I don't have time to do some boring things..."

But Mara IX said: "Minister Lin, I know your mood now. I was very surprised when I first heard it, but I think you should listen carefully to his ideas before making a decision, rather than being hasty."

"I'm not sloppy!"

Lin Guodong emphasized loudly, but then he thought that it was not good for him to do so. He calmed down and said again: "His Majesty the King, I know you are very worried about the current economic situation in Thailand, but this is not a reason to make random decisions. On the contrary, we should be more focused and serious at this time!"

Lin Guodong continued: "You know me with His Majesty King. I graduated from London Business School and received a Ph.D. in business management. I have served as the chairman of Swire Bank, the largest bank in Southeast Asia. It can be said that no one in Thailand is more familiar with the financial field than me, and no one is more familiar with some operating methods in the financial field than me!"

"I admit that there are some problems in Thailand's economy now, but I am trying to solve it. But now, Your Majesty the King, you actually came to question me with the words of such a Chinese, "You are distrustful of me. Are you going to replace the Minister of Finance?"

After Lin Guodong made his passionate words, he also directly pointed out his words.

This made Mara IX very panicked, because although Lin Guodong had all kinds of problems, as he said, he was the best financial talent in Thailand, and at least Thailand cannot lose him now.

However, before Mara IX could think of the wording, Zhou Ming first said: "The reputation is worthy, and he is indeed a stubborn bastard!"

Lin Guodong heard this, and he immediately became furious: "Tell me clearly, who is the stubborn bastard?"

Mara IX kept saying to Zhou Ming to calm down and say that he would follow Lin Guodong, but Zhou Ming spread his hands: "Is there anyone else here? I even doubt whether you were listening to me and King Mara IX just now. Thailand's economy is like this in your hands, and you can't get it out at all. I told you, but you have such an attitude. What's the point of being a stubborn bastard?"

"I know you have a high education and rich banking experience, but it is precisely because of these experiences that you become more arrogant, feel that your ideas are right, and you can't listen to other opinions at all." Zhou Ming said.

Lin Guodong stood there without saying a word, but this obviously did not mean that he was convinced. It was not difficult to guess from his blushing face and the blue veins on his forehead that he was on the verge of a rampage.

"Are you listening to your opinion? Are you the chairman of the Federal Reserve, or have you brought a loan from the International Monetary Fund? Or have you published a paper in an authoritative financial magazine?" Lin Guodong asked, his tone gritting his teeth, wishing he could swallow Zhou Ming in one mouthful.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said that he was nothing, he was just an ordinary Chinese businessman.

"Then what are you talking about here?" Lin Guodong suddenly broke out as expected, "Do you think your words are the correct imperial edict? But in my opinion, you, a stupid Chinese, may not even know what the consequences will bring about changing the fixed exchange rate to the floating exchange rate!"

"Today, let me, a doctor, teach you a good lesson and popularize the most basic knowledge!"

Lin Guodong said: "The so-called fixed exchange rate means keeping the Thai baht and the US dollar a fixed-ratio exchange rate system. This system does not allow exchange rate fluctuations to exceed one percentage point. It is a very stable exchange rate system that can well combat market speculation; while the floating exchange rate completely gives the Thai baht exchange rate fluctuations to the market. This method will make the Thai baht currency value very unstable and induce great speculation activities!"

"The economic situation in Thailand has always been very stable in the past, thanks to the fixed exchange rate system. If we suddenly change this system, wouldn't we encourage speculative activities?"

Lin Guodong continued: "The economic situation in Thailand is now very unstable. It is when we continue to maintain a fixed exchange rate to give the market confidence. You suddenly need to change the fixed exchange rate to a floating exchange rate. I want to ask you what you are concerned about? Is it because the recent rebound in the Thai baht currency has made you speculators feel frightened, so you thought of completely destroying the fixed exchange rate to achieve what you want?"

Lin Guodong said word by word: "But I tell you, this is absolutely impossible!"

Then Lin Guodong said to Mara IX: "His Majesty the King, the more we reach this critical moment, the more we must stabilize the confidence of the market and not listen to these bastards who don't know where to change the system. Now the situation in the Thai baht is getting better. As long as we persist and don't give up, I guarantee that these speculators will not have any chance!"

"His Majesty the King, I am preparing a press conference. At the press conference, I will tell the news media around the world that the Thai baht will not depreciate, and changing the fixed exchange rate to a floating exchange rate is absolutely impossible to implement. The Thai baht will always be tied to the US dollar and will not be shaken. The Thai baht will return to stability!" Lin Guodong told Mara Jiushidao loudly.

Facing Lin Guodong's words full of confidence, Mara IX had no idea what to say.

However, Zhou Ming smiled helplessly and shook his head. Lin Guodong frowned when he found out: "It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming has any other more clever insights? Why not say it out and listen to it, so that I can also open my eyes."

Zhou Ming said to him: "I don't have a more clever view, but I have a problem."

Lin Guodong waved his hand: "If you have any questions, just ask me. I'm happy to answer you and slap you in the face!"

"Have you seen Andersen's fairy tale? There is a very famous fairy tale called the Emperor's New Clothes." Zhou Ming said, "This fairy tale tells the story of a stupid emperor wearing an invisible but not actually existing new outfit, swaying in front of the entire kingdom. What's even more ridiculous is that the emperor thought he was the smartest and his new outfit was the most beautiful."
