The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

Inside the office of the President of Standard Chartered Bank.

George King was smoking a cigarette and thinking deeply.

He was frightened by his guess.

If that were the case, it would be simply terrifying.

It takes such a long-term vision and such a cunning calculation to calculate all this.

The more George King thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Push everything to bring down Thailand, and then use the wealth of tens of millions of people in Thailand to make a wedding dress for themselves.

He felt in awe just thinking about such scheming methods.

I don't know if it was because of psychological effects, but George King discovered that cigarettes are really a good thing.

After smoking a cigarette, his heartbeat slowly calmed down.

George King said.

"boss..."

"George. Are you having sex?"

? ? ? ?

George King was stunned for a moment.

Before he could ask about the guess in his mind, Zhao Jiangchuan suddenly spoke.

This opening made George Jin confused.

Bang bang?

Are there any normal people who don’t have sex?

In shock, George King nodded subconsciously.

"Snapped."

"How many times a day?"

Could it be that banging is eating?

This thing can be used several times a day.

George King rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

He felt he had overestimated his boss's goals.

But Zhao Jiangchuan suddenly laughed.

Because only he knows his true purpose.

Rubber tree, native to the Amazon forest.

The original meaning comes from the Indian word cau-uchu, which means "weeping tree".

Because when the rubber tree's epidermis is cut open, a milky white gelatinous substance will flow out.

This colloid was later called natural latex.

Long before Columbus discovered the American continent, local residents in Central and South America had begun to utilize rubber.

It was transplanted to Kew Gardens in England in 1873. In 1877, 22 hevea trees were transported to Singapore. In 1898, they were spread to the Malay Peninsula.

Due to the environmental impact of rubber tree planting, the natural conditions of the subtropical rainforest climate have become the most suitable area for the growth of rubber trees.

Therefore, the most suitable places for growing rubber in the world are concentrated in Southeast Asian countries.

The five countries that produce the most rubber are Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. The rubber planting area and rubber production of these five countries account for 90% of the world's.

Among the five Southeast Asian countries, Thailand has the largest rubber planting area.

Thailand alone accounts for more than 60% of the world's rubber production.

Under modern technology, latex produced from natural rubber trees can be processed into many products.

Among them, the one that people use the most, the most frequently used, and the one that many people have used is a thin, transparent rubber product.

Available in mint, strawberry and original flavors.

Although many people don't like this kind of thing, there are still many people who must use this thin rubber product.

Because it prevents accidental pregnancy.

That’s right, condoms.

Global data shows that every year, more than 10 billion condoms are sold worldwide.

After this large amount of data, a generation of listed condom companies was born.

Due to the harsh texture required for condom processing and production, pure natural latex must be used.

In addition to condoms, the properties of natural latex can also be processed into many rubber products.

Due to the characteristics of latex, after the latex dries and becomes solid, it can be processed into natural rubber.

This kind of rubber has a wider range of applications.

For example, rain boots, hot water bottles, and elastic bands used in daily life; surgeon gloves, blood transfusion tubes, and condoms used in the medical and health industry; various tires used in transportation;

Conveyor belts, transport belts, acid and alkali resistant gloves used in industry;

Drainage and irrigation hoses and ammonia bags used in agriculture; sounding balloons used for meteorological measurements; sealing and shockproof equipment used in scientific experiments;

Aircraft, tanks, artillery, gas masks used in national defense;

Even high-tech scientific and technological products such as rockets, artificial earth satellites and spacecrafts are inseparable from natural rubber.

Among them, tires use the largest amount of natural rubber.

After Dunlop made the first restart tire in 1888, rubber tires became the only option for automobile tires that could no longer be replaced.

In the manufacture of tires, more than 80% of the materials use natural rubber.

This is a scary number.

But rubber can be used for much more than that.

Take scrap rubber tires as an example.

After high-temperature smelting, nearly half a ton of oil can be extracted from every ton of scrap tires.

After this oil is separated, it can become refined oil of higher quality than light crude oil.

It is precisely because of the high economic value of rubber trees that Thai rubber farmers plant rubber trees like rice.

It can be said that rubber trees are the only thing in Thailand that can affect the global pattern.

However, this is Thailand twenty years later.

in 1989.

In order to build a financial center in Asia, Thailand has neglected many things.

Even though they own the most precious rubber plantations, they don't know it.

In the eyes of Thai people at the time, Hong Kong relied on finance to become one of the most prosperous economies in Asia, and Singapore relied on financial status and influence to become the only developed country in Southeast Asia.

Living examples are placed in front of us, which makes Thailand's heart beat.

This is why Thailand fully liberalized capital controls after 1990.

Because in Thailand's eyes, the annual export value of rubber is only 60 million US dollars, which is nothing compared with the profits brought by the influx of overseas capital every year.

However, in the eyes of later generations, this thing was nothing more than a super nuclear bomb.

Especially in the eyes of Zhao Jiangchuan.

If it can control Thailand's rubber resources, Jushi Capital will reach a level that he could not reach in his previous life.

In the eyes of most people, the market is often a buyer's market.

As long as you have money, you can buy everything.

Just like the red beans of China.

Japan almost wiped out the adzuki beans by simply cutting off imports.

But actually.

Buyers and sellers do not necessarily have to be the buyer in the dominant position.

In the next two decades, no matter how technology and industry developed, they still could not replace rubber's dominant position in industry.

Especially the automotive industry.

No matter how luxurious a car is, it still has to use rubber tires.

Its performance cannot be replaced in a short time.

It can be said that if we can control the global rubber production, we can control the fate of the global automobile industry.

Knowing the rubber output of a region can determine whether the automobile companies in this region will survive or stay.

Your family produces cars, but what will happen if I tell you that you can't even make a single tire?

That’s not just how much money you need, but how much money you have to pay.

"hey-hey..."

Zhao Jiangchuan couldn't help but laugh evilly when he thought about his pride.

That laughter made George King's hair stand on end.

But this smile also made George King understand a lot of things.

With the current power of Jushi Capital, it can already change a lot of things.

Because if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
