Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 886 Financial Currency War

   "Chen, I heard that this hotel is an industry under your name?"

   Prince Charles looked up and looked around the hall layout. As one of the most famous five-star hotels in Xiangjiang, the interior decoration of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is naturally very particular.

  The British have a very admirable place, that is, they are not only good at bringing their own culture to the colonies, but they can also accept some of the local cultural customs of the colonies.

   This active integration not only enables the British to integrate into the local environment, but also makes it easier for the locals to accept the cultural habits of the British.

   This is also an important reason why before World War II, the British were able to maintain colonies and populations many times larger than their own.

  Mandarin Oriental Hotel, as a hotel located in Hong Kong, not only integrates tradition and modernity, but also combines Eastern and Western languages ​​to form the unique characteristics of the hotel.

   Among them, there are many British elements.

   This is very much in line with the aesthetic standards of Prince Charles.

   Yang Chen smiled and said, "Do you need me to show you around?"

   "Of course, this is your territory."

   Prince Charles nodded and said, there are too many people here, it is not very convenient for the two to talk, he is eager to leave here as soon as possible and go to a place with few people.

   "Princess, how about you?"

   Yang Chen turned his head to look at Princess Diana.

   Princess Diana shook her head and said, "You guys go, I'm a little hungry and want to eat something here."

   "Okay, Yu Fei, stay here with Diana and ask the French chef at the hotel to prepare a delicious foie gras."

   "Chen, I didn't expect you to remember what I like to eat."

   Diana was a little surprised. She remembered that she liked to eat French foie gras, and only mentioned it inadvertently in front of Yang Chen once.

"it is necessary"

   Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, a charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and directly in front of Prince Charles, he discharged Diana.

   Diana rolled her eyes at him, and said in a deliberately disgusting tone, "If you have something to talk about, don't bother us here."

   "Prince, let's go, I'll take you upstairs to relax."

  There are spa centers in five-star hotels in Xiangjiang. The spa in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is a well-known service item. Sometimes Yang Chen feels tired, so he likes to come here to relieve his fatigue.

  In the sauna

  Prince Charles in an oriental sauna

  To say Europeans, except for Finland, few Westerners have the habit of taking a sauna.

  The reason why Finns like to take a sauna is mainly because the weather in Finland is relatively cold. As one of the five Nordic countries, one-third of Finland's territory is within the Arctic Circle.

   Therefore, Finland is in the cold season for more than half a year every year. Due to the climate, sauna has become an indispensable living habit for Finns.

   Whether the British like to take a sauna or not, Yang Chen doesn't know, anyway, looking at Prince Charles' performance, he is obviously not disgusted.

  Prince Charles wiped his sweat and asked, "Chen, can you tell me about your current economic views on the island country?"

   "The view of the island country's economy?" Yang Chen frowned slightly, and then asked, "What kind of view do you want?"

  Prince Charles said: "I know that you have never fought uncertain battles. This time, the investment in the island country has been reported by the media all over the world. Such a large transaction shows that you are very optimistic about the future economy of the island country."

   "However, after the island country experienced the oil crisis, the rapid growth for 20 consecutive years has begun to slow down slowly."

   "I don't understand why you are so optimistic about the economy of the island country at this time. I always think you are a very rational person, and it is impossible for you to do something unprofitable for no reason. Can you tell me your reason?"

   Yang Chen glanced at Prince Charles and asked, "Prince, what do you want to know the reason for?"

  Prince Charles shrugged, without concealing it at all, and said bluntly: "Frankly, I made money with you last time. If I can, I want to make more money with you."

   Yang Chen was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but smile: "Prince, this is not like what you said, I think you should be more sincere."

   "I'm serious, Chen," Prince Charles said.

   "Okay, then I'll tell you."

   "As you said, Prince, after the oil crisis, the high growth rate of the island countries has slowed down. If the impact of the oil crisis continues, it will be difficult for the island countries to restore the previous growth rate."

   "Of course, even after the oil crisis has passed, it is a miracle that the island country, as a country with limited resources, can maintain rapid economic growth for two decades."

   "This kind of miracle, after the oil crisis, may be difficult to replicate. This is not only the opinion of economic experts from other countries, but also of domestic economic experts from island countries."

   "The era of high economic growth for island countries has passed, and it would be good for island countries to keep their economy from going backwards in the face of an increasingly severe economic crisis."

   Prince Charles heard this and looked at Yang Chen, becoming more and more curious. He was not surprised that Yang Chen was able to analyze these things so thoroughly.

   What he was curious about was that since Yang Chen knew all this, why would he go the other way, loaning so much money to several major consortiums in the island country, and then put all the loaned money into the island country market.

  This is something he can't figure out, so Prince Charles didn't rush to intervene, but quietly waited for the next chapter.

"Many people only see the high economic growth of the island countries. They only see that the island countries are affected by the oil crisis, and the economy begins to decline. The previous high growth momentum is no longer there. However, they do not see the oil crisis. blow."

   "At least so far, except for the manufacturing sector, which has been affected by the decline in global trade, the island country has experienced export difficulties, but its domestic stock market and financial industry have not been greatly affected..."

   "On the contrary, countries such as the United States, Europe, and Latin America have been severely hit by the oil crisis, in which the currency devaluation, including the dollar, many countries have experienced various problems after the oil crisis."

   "The national economy is the same as when a person is sick. When a person is sick, they can solve the problem by taking medicine. When the national economy is sick, it can sometimes be transferred in various ways."

   "For example, war!"

   "War?" Prince Charles widened his eyes.

   "Yes, that's right, war."

   "However, I'm not referring to wars that require bloodshed like World War I and World War II, but more peaceful, financial and currency wars."
