Chapter 419 Unlocking a New Title
2007年7月22日晚10时47分，徐某人成功打卡了新地点：房车。
This was bought by Yuan Li before she got married. She had originally planned to go camping with her husband when the weather got warmer. However, they started to have quarrels after the marriage, and the car had to be left in a parking lot on the outskirts of the city to gather dust.
Now it's finally used.
"Then just let her send it."
After the two of them finished their work with great effort, Xu Kun took out the USB drive and conveyed Fan Bingbing's request.
As a result, Yuan Li didn't take it seriously at all. She wrapped herself around Xu Kun like an octopus and said, "At worst, we'll die. What she has collected is not enough. Tell her later that if she wants more explosive news, she can come to me directly."
After hearing this, Xu Kun knew that Fan Bingbing had run into a tough guy this time.
Although Yuan Li's world-weariness might be pretended, Xu Kun felt that Fan Bingbing would definitely not dare to take the risk. After all, she had just opened her studio and was thinking about making it bigger and stronger. How could she be willing to die together with Yuan Li, who was on the decline?
The subsequent situation was indeed similar to what he had guessed.
When Fan Bingbing learned of Yuan Li's attitude, he angrily scolded Yuan Li for being crazy, but after that he stopped talking.
It seems that even in the entertainment industry, those who are arrogant are afraid of those who are stupid.
June 7.
On the day Xu Kun led the team to set off, more than half of the Teddy Sisters Group came, including Hao Lei, Jiang Yiyan, Huo Siyan, Li Xiaolu, Chen Shu, Gan Wei, and Yang Mi - even Qin Lan, who was filming for the TV series "Yun Niang", took a special leave to come and see them off.
However, they did not go to the airport. After all, they were all big stars, and it would have been too conspicuous for them to go to the airport together to see them off. So they agreed to meet each other early in the morning and say goodbye in a residential area on the South Fourth Ring Road.
Hu Die, who had also been seeing them off the whole night, witnessed this "grand scene" with his own eyes. He hugged Bao Qiang's arm and said sadly, "I don't want anything else, I just want you to be honest. If you learn these messed up things from Brother Kun..."
At that time, Bao Qiang was so anxious that he kept swearing.
When they arrived at the airport, Wang Zhonglei also brought Zhou Xun to see them off in person - in the past, he always brought Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing with him, but now the old are being replaced by the new.
Xu Kun organized the leading actors to shoot a behind-the-scenes footage at the airport for future publicity purposes. Then he bid farewell to Wang Zhonglei and others and rushed to Thailand for training with half of the crew.
Because we took the official route, everything went smoothly after we landed in Bangkok.
After two days of simple adaptation in the urban area, Xu Kun parted ways with Chen Xuebin and others, and took a group of action actors to a military base on the outskirts of the city for closed training.
Thailand mainly provides equipment, but the real leaders of the training are the instructors invited from China. Otherwise, it would be obvious that the trained people are not from the domestic system, which would become a joke.
In the following month, various guns, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, trainer planes, transport planes... Xu Kun and Sun Honglei even experienced the power of anti-aircraft guns' flat firing.
Although most of these equipments were old stuffs from before the 90s, and the really technologically advanced stuffs were hidden from people, Xu Kun was still able to indulge in his military desires.
With these weapons and equipment as a change, various military trainings are not so hard.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way. Zhao Wenzhuo has some complaints about the self-abuse training all day long, but due to what he saw when he was running for subsidies in China, he dared not vent his anger and could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The closer it got to September, the less Zhao Wenzhuo dared to say a word.
Because starting from mid-August, several groups of people came to Xu Kun, first from Thailand and then from China.
By the end of the month, Xu Kun even received an invitation to an economic forum convened by the King of Thailand, hoping that he could express "positive views" on the world economic situation at the conference.
All this is naturally because the subprime mortgage crisis officially broke out on August 9, or began to spread to the world.
In fact, there were signs of the subprime mortgage crisis as early as February, but the United States has always reported good news but not bad news, believing that the risks are completely controllable.
So at the beginning of the year, Thailand did not take it seriously and paid attention to the crew of "Operation Kunpeng", mainly to break the ice between the two countries. It was not until August 8 that BNP Paribas, the largest bank in France, announced that it was involved in the subprime mortgage crisis and suffered huge losses, which initially triggered the financial crisis.
On August 8, most global stock indices fell, and metal crude oil futures and spot gold prices plunged sharply.
On August 8, central banks around the world injected more than $11 billion in 48 hours to rescue the market, and the Federal Reserve injected capital into banks three times a day in the hope of stabilizing the stock market.
On August 2007, 8, dozens of companies including Walmart and Home Depot admitted that they had suffered huge losses due to the subprime mortgage crisis, and . stocks plummeted.
On August 2007, 8, the three major central banks of the United States, Europe and Japan once again injected more than 14 billion US dollars to rescue the market. The central banks of Asia and the Pacific once again injected capital into the banking system, and various economies successively postponed interest rate hikes.
On August 2007, 8, the stock price of the largest commercial mortgage company in the United States plummeted and faced bankruptcy, and the Asia-Pacific stock markets suffered the worst decline since 16/911.
Throughout August, the global financial markets were in a state of panic, with new bad news coming out every one or two days.
Although most of the news came from Europe and the United States, Asian countries, which still have fresh memories of the 97 financial crisis, are still on the alert.
Even some people in the country are uneasy.
At this time, Mr. Xu, who predicted all this in the movie script, stood out.
So even though Xu Kun repeatedly stated that he just wanted to make the plot of Thailand helping the action team in the movie as rational as possible, he found the financial crisis as an excuse.
Moreover, he was just repeating what others had said, borrowing the forecasts of some American economists, but he was still repeatedly "interrogated" by people from above.
Thailand's attention to him is increasing day by day. Not only did the King of Thailand invite him to give a speech at the economic forum, but even the former Prime Minister's sister hosted a banquet for him.
At the strong request of the Thai side and with permission, Xu Kun had to bite the bullet and speak at the economic forum.
It is claimed that the University of Tokyo has now grown to a sufficient size to serve as the backbone of Asia, to support the Asian economy, and even to make a decisive contribution to the world economy. It will never sit idly by and watch the Asian financial crisis of 97 happen again.
In addition, he also mixed some of his own personal opinions into it, such as believing that this year is just an appetizer and the subprime mortgage crisis will definitely intensify in the next one or two years.
As a result, before this speech caused much response in Thailand, it was spread back to the mainland and reported by major media outlets. It made everyone in the country know that an actor who became a director predicted all this in advance.
This fully proves the truth that flowers bloom outside the wall but smell good inside.
Therefore, after September, Xu had another label of "economist", which made him feel very uneasy.
It was also thanks to Ekaterina that after attending the economic forum and the family dinner hosted by the former prime minister's sister, she began to devote herself to weaving a warm nest for him, which gave his heart some comfort.
By the way, the inside of a tank is really not suitable for activities, as it is easy to hit your head.
In comparison, armored personnel carriers are much easier to use.
The time soon came to October 9st.
Xu Kun met Feng Xiaogang, Xu Fan, Wang Zhonglei and others at Don Mueang International Airport.
Wang Zhonglei had not originally planned to come, but since Xu Kun had caused such a big fuss, he had to come and talk to Xu Kun about some things.
So when they met, Wang Zhonglei laughed and hugged him: "Director Xu, this time you really impressed those country bumpkins!"
Just as Xu Kun dodged his bear hug, Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said, "Whether this is a blessing or a curse, I'm afraid it's still hard to say."
