Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

This is the reason for the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. With the identity of the chairman's secretary, the accumulation of contacts alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It's just that he was about to make it to the top, and the big boss suddenly stepped down from his position. There is no tragedy in the world like this.

Fortunately, Niu Bijian did not forget her. The arrangement just now undoubtedly gave her a chance to get in touch with Simon Keswick, who will take over as the chairman.

In this way, whether she can grasp it depends on her own ability.

Chapter 777

Xie's mansion

A team of special limousines for the royal family stopped at the entrance of Xie's villa. Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda personally led the team. On the order of King Rama IX of Thailand, they made a special trip to welcome Yang Chen to the palace as a guest.

It stands to reason that Marshal Prem Tinsulanon and the Prime Minister should not come in person for this kind of work, but the other party came, which can't help but surprise people.

"Mr. Yang, how are you, are you ready?"

Yang Chen nodded, facing the unsmiling boss in front of him, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, "I'm very sorry for keeping the general waiting for so long."

From Xie Guoming, Yang Chen learned that Prem Tinsulanonda liked people to call him a general in private, not marshal or prime minister.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Yang Chen felt that he should be addressed according to Xie Guoming's account, which would help deepen Bing Tinsula's affection.

Although the Prime Minister of Thailand has never had a sense of presence, Prem Tinsulanon is not just a clerk with no background, but a real powerful man with the full support of the military.

If such a person is accidentally offended, although his investment plan in Thailand will not be ruined, he will definitely encounter some troubles in the future.

After all, this boss has huge influence both in the military and in the government.

It's still possible to use your lips and make trouble for him.

Sure enough, when Bing Tinsulanuan heard Yang Chen call him a general, not a marshal or a prime minister, Bing Tinsulanuan couldn't help showing a smile.

Officially in Thailand, if you want to stand high and sit firmly, you can only gain real power if you have the power of the army.

The position of general is a senior official who can directly control the army. As for the marshal and the prime minister, neither of them can directly go over the officers under them and directly contact the soldiers at the bottom.

That's why Bing Tinsulanon would like others to call him a general in private. The reason is nothing more than to use this to win over the military forces and let the military forces move closer to him.

Although I waited for a while, Bing Tinsula was not dissatisfied in his heart. The person Yang Chen went to meet on this trip was the most powerful king in Thailand. On the contrary, La Nuan would be unhappy, thinking that would be disrespectful to his own king.

On the contrary, the longer Yang Chen prepared, the more satisfied he was, feeling that the other party came here with sincerity.

"Mr. Yang, let's go now."

"Okay." Yang Chen nodded, and got into the same car with Bing Tinsulanon. Yang Chen attached great importance to this meeting with the King of Thailand.

Unlike meeting the Queen of England and Margaret Thatcher, Rama IX, the king of Thailand, brought him more pressure.

This is not because of how strong Thailand's military or economic strength is, but mainly because of the power of the King of Thailand, which is far greater than the Queen and Prime Minister of England.

This can be seen from the Thai Constitution.

In Thailand, its constitution stipulates that civilians are not allowed to comment or criticize the king, even in private.

Otherwise, you have committed the "crime of deceiving the emperor", and you will be arrested by the Thai police and face prison if you find out.

There is a news report in later generations, claiming that a man in Thailand was sentenced to 32 years in prison for liking a photo mocking King Rama IX on the Internet.

In addition, when Thai people meet a member of the royal family, no matter whether he is a general or a prime minister, they must kneel down and salute.

Kneeling and saluting, this behavior has been basically abolished in Thailand as early as modern times.

But after King Rama IX ascended the throne, the kneeling ceremony was restored again. Anyone, no matter whether you are a dignitary or a wealthy celebrity, no matter what your status, as long as the royal family members are present, you must kneel and salute immediately .

Of course, these are limited to Thai people, and people from other countries do not need to follow this rule.

After all, Thailand is just a small country in East Asia, and it is not yet qualified to make people from other countries kneel down and salute.

The reason why the king of Thailand has such a great prestige mainly comes from the power held by the king of Thailand.

The current king of Thailand, Rama IX, although his ability to govern the country is not very good, but in terms of power and strategy, it is beyond the reach of the kings of Thailand.

Turning an originally cowardly royal family into a powerful royal family with real power in the country and huge wealth.

This shows how powerful the king's strategy is.

In addition to scheming, the king's methods of making money are also quite powerful.

In many large enterprises in Thailand, whether domestic or foreign, the royal family has a shareholding in them.

Backed by the king, business can be done easily, and unnecessary troubles can be avoided at the same time. The Thai military is quite complicated, and the generals like to stage coups if things go wrong.

On the surface, Thailand is fairly peaceful. After all, every coup is basically one thing, that is, changing the government and the prime minister. Large-scale bloodshed rarely occurs.

It can be said that on the surface, Thailand’s domestic environment is considered a relatively safe country.

However, peace does not mean that there are no conflicts of interest. All parties compete for power. In addition to rights, there is naturally money.

The larger the enterprise, the more it needs to have a strong background and backer. In Thailand, what is the bigger background and backer than the king and the royal family?

If you want to do business in Thailand, especially big business, the participation of the royal family is absolutely indispensable.

Otherwise, once the royal family is jealous, as long as they provoke behind the scenes, no matter how powerful the company is, it will be ruined.

The reason why King Rama IX of Thailand can have such great power is not because he is a king.

You know, in this world, there are many countries with the status of kings, but it is relatively rare like Thailand. Even the tribal leaders in Africa may not have more power than Rama IX.

Rama IX's power comes from his control over the army. According to Thailand's constitution, the king is the supreme leader of the army, not the so-called government.

With the command of the army, although the Thai military giants often like to lose their temper, the influence of any military coup is always firmly controlled by the king.

Because of this, even though the military has pushed the government over and over again, and the prime minister has changed one after another, Rama IX's position as king is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. King Rama IX obviously fully understood the essence of what Mao Weiren said. He has the command power of the army. No matter how the country changes and the government struggles, it will not affect the foundation of the royal family.

On the contrary, the struggle between the military and the government has intensified the dependence of both sides on the king, making both sides dare not show any disrespect to the king and the royal family.

Based on this, Yang Chen's plan naturally cannot do without the most important part of King Rama IX of Thailand.
