Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 773 The Royal Family of Thailand

   Xie Family Mansion

   A team of royal limousines was parked at the entrance of the Xie family villa. Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonn 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 such a job does not require the Marshal and Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanon to come in person, but the other party came, which can not 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 making the general wait for a long time."

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

  Although he doesn't know the specific reason, Yang Chen feels that he should still call him according to Xie Guoming's explanation, which will help to deepen Bing Tinsulanon's favor.

  Although the Prime Minister of Thailand has always had little sense of existence, Prem Tinsulanon is not just a clerk with no background, but a real power man with the full support of the military.

If a person like    accidentally offends him, although his investment plan in Thailand will not be ruined, he will definitely encounter some troubles in the follow-up.

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

   You can still do it if you move your tongue and give him some trouble.

   Sure enough, when Prem Tinsulanuan heard Yang Chen call him a general, not a marshal or a prime minister, a smile appeared on the corner of Prem Tinsulanuan's mouth.

   Officially in Thailand, if you want to stand tall and sit firmly, only by mastering the strength of the army can you gain real power.

   The position of general is a high-ranking official who can directly control the army. As for the marshal and the prime minister, neither of them can directly bypass the officers and directly contact the lower-level soldiers.

   Therefore, Prem Tinsulanon especially likes others to call him a general in private. The reason is nothing more than to win over the military forces and make the military forces move closer to him.

Although he waited for a while longer, Prem Tinsulanuan was not dissatisfied. The person Yang Chen went to meet on this trip was the most powerful king in Thailand. If Yang Chen tidyed up casually and perfunctory things, Prem Tinsu 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 became, feeling that the other party came with sincerity.

   "Mr. Yang, let's go now."

   "Okay" Yang Chen nodded, and followed Prem Tinsulanuan into the same car. Yang Chen took this meeting with the King of Thailand very seriously.

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

   This is not because of Thailand's military or economic strength, but mainly the power of the King of Thailand. Compared with the Queen and the Prime Minister of England, they are much larger than the latter.

   This can be seen from the constitution of Thailand.

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

  Otherwise, you have committed the crime of "deceiving the king", and once found out, you will be arrested by the Thai police and face jail time.

   Later, there was a news report claiming that a man in Thailand was sentenced to 32 years in prison for liking an online photo that made fun of King Rama IX.

   In addition, Thai people must kneel and salute when they meet a member of the royal family, whether he is a general or a prime minister.

   Kneeling and salute, this behavior has been basically abolished since Thailand entered modern times.

But after Rama IX ascended the throne, the kneeling ceremony resumed. Anyone, no matter whether you are a dignitary, a rich or famous person, no matter what your status, as long as the royal family members are present, you must kneel and salute at the first time. .

   Of course, these are limited to Thai people, 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 qualified to let people from other countries kneel and salute.

  The reason why the King of Thailand has such a great prestige mainly comes from the power in the hands of the King of Thailand.

  The current king of Thailand, Rama IX, although this person is not very capable of governing the country, but in terms of power and tactics, it is beyond the reach of the kings of Thailand in all dynasties.

   turned a cowardly royal family into a powerful royal family that holds the real power of the country and is also sitting on huge wealth.

   This shows how powerful the king's conspiracy is.

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

   In many large corporate companies in Thailand, whether domestic or foreign, the royal family has a stake in them.

  On the back of the king, business is easy to do, and at the same time, unnecessary trouble can be avoided. The Thai military is quite complex, and the generals like to engage in coups if they are not happy.

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

   It can be said that on the surface of Thailand, its domestic environment is still a relatively safe country.

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

  The bigger the company, the more it needs to have a strong background and backing. In Thailand, what is a 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 a little behind their backs, no matter how powerful the company is, it will be finished.

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

   You must know that in this world, there are many countries with the status of kings, but it is still relatively rare like Thailand. Even those tribal leaders in Africa are not necessarily more powerful than Rama IX.

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

   has 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 in the hands of the king.

  Because of this, even if the military pushed the government again and again and the prime minister changed one after another, King Rama IX's position as king was still as stable as a mountain.

   Power comes from the barrel of a gun. King Rama IX obviously fully understood the essence of what Mao Weiren said. He has the command of the army. No matter how the country changes, no matter how the government tosses, it will not affect the foundation of the royal family.

   On the contrary, the battle between the military and the government has intensified their dependence on the king, so that neither side dared to be disrespectful to the king and the royal family.

   Based on this, Yang Chen's plan is naturally the most important part of King Rama IX of Thailand.
