Chapter Fifty-Six: The Invisible Fight

Chirp, chirp –

Chirp, chirp –

It's dawn.

Norman Ramon, who was singing by the birds, woke up from his dream, sang with excitement and joy all night that he slept soundly, and now he heard the birds chirping and breathed in the vitality of the morning, and suddenly felt that life is so wonderful.

Put on your suit and tie.

Looking at his personable and burly self in the mirror, the corners of Lamont's mouth couldn't help but curl.

History will be rewritten today, and it is the great Lord Lamente who will rewrite the history of world finance.

Touching the golden and somewhat gray hair on his head, and thinking that he was about to go down in history as the greatest finance minister, Lamont couldn't help but clench his fists and praise the handsome and wise man in the mirror.

"Lamont, you're the best. ”

Bang bang –

A brief knock sounded from outside the door, and the butler's voice came respectfully.

"Sir. Conn advisors: they've arrived. ”

"I see. ”

Straightening his tie again to make sure there were no wrinkles in his clothes, Lamont strode out of the bedroom.

"Morning, sir. ”

"Morning, sir. ”

“......”

In the restaurant, the consultants who came early in the morning saw the boss coming, and quickly got up to say hello, Lamont nodded in greeting, and casually glanced at the invited reporters.

"Everyone, it's rare that everyone is so early, you must not have eaten breakfast yet. Cato, is breakfast ready? The guests can't wait. ”

At Norman Lamont's call, the maid arrived at the dining room with the tray.

The delicate tray is filled with bread, and its golden color and shape like a sheep's horn make you very appetizing at first sight.

Brits don't talk about work at the dinner table?

It's all.

Eating croissants, the consultants talked about their work.

Belch......

That's right, it's a croissant breakfast. The lira has collapsed, and as the British finance minister, it is natural to express his attitude.

"Your Excellency. The lira collapsed, there are some bad rumors in the market, how do we deal with it. ”

"Oh, my God. How can a chaotic country compare with Great Britain? Rest assured, everything was in my expectation. ”

"Don't we have to do something?"

"Of course. Deutsche Bank cut interest rates as I expected, and I give them the highest appreciation for their actions. This, in turn, will bring the EC's exchange rate mechanism back on its normal trajectory. ”

“......”

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The news of a newspaper in London attracted the attention of quite a few people.

'The Italian lira fell 15 percent on Friday, with prices falling below the lower band of the exchange rate mechanism. Affected by the lira's tumble, Lord Norman Lamont, Chancellor of the Exchequer, called a breakfast meeting in the morning. However, Lord Lamont did not seem to feel the pressure from the collapse of the lira, and he looked a little triumphant. ”

"We can be sure that His Excellency Lord Lamont has great confidence in the pound. ”

He said. Any ill-intentioned approach to the pound will be met with an iron fist from the Bank of England. ”

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the clip of Zhuge Liang laying out the empty city plan, Lamont probably hasn't seen it, but obviously, the Chancellor's attainments in psychology are also perfect. The media disseminated his nonchalant attitude is undoubtedly the most effective way to combat bearish information.

But finance has always been a silent war.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

By noon, analysts from major financial institutions had also appeared in front of the stage.

The Times

As part of the lira devaluation agreement, Deutsche Bank promised to cut interest rates by 0.25 percent, which could actually increase the value of the pound. ’

The Sun

The chaos in Italy is obvious to all, although they are relatively uncontrollable. But Italy's near-open corruption and ubiquitous mafia make the country one of the most chaotic in Europe. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is not at all comparable to a country like Italy, which has a Conservative leadership that has changed its own economy, and believes that the current economic status quo can be changed in the shortest possible time. ’

The Mirror

The leader of the Italian Socialist Party was embroiled in corruption, which led to mass demonstrations in Italy. According to sources, more than 70 percent of the cabinet members are involved in the anti-corruption investigation. ’

"Two months ago, Milan's top prosecutor, Varni Faconel, along with his wife and security guards, were killed instantly in a bomb attack during an investigation into corruption between the Socialist Party and the Catholic Democratic Party and the Mafia. ”

"It has been reported that the assassination of Varni Faconel was closely related to an investigator from the Italian Financial Investigation Agency, who is said to have close ties to the Casio family of the Italian mafia, and had previously planned a kidnapping of foreign businessmen in Italy. ”

The Guardian

Prime Minister Sir John Major said that the Conservative Party, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have worked out the best economic recovery plan, and it is believed that with the implementation of the plan, the British economy will fully recover from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, and there is no problem with the pound being evaluated.

Sir John Major said that the UK's accession to the European Common Economy is the trend of the times. This will bring greater convenience to the UK export industry.

He promised that the bill would be pushed forward as soon as possible to improve welfare at all levels.

Financial Times

Since August, the e-nomads have launched several attacks on the pound, but the Bank of England has managed to resist these unscrupulous selling pressures on the pound.

Robin Leigh Pember of the Bank of England publicly stated that the electronic nomads, international speculators led by Shen Jiannan and Soros, used borrowed money to impact the exchange rate of the pound sterling, hoping to achieve the purpose of short-selling to make profits. But the pound is completely unlikely, and there is no possibility of depreciation. The Bank of England has foreign exchange reserves worth £23 billion and is prepared to borrow $14 billion worth of currency from international banks.

The central bank has absolute confidence to improve its ability to defend the pound.

The Daily Mail, founded by Alfred Harmsworth, is the second largest newspaper organization in the UK.

The news in the newspaper is modeled after the American newspaper, with a clear theme and a fast pace. At the same time, the content vigorously caters to the needs of the society, reporting court news, sports news, stock quotes, political ramblings, world opinion summaries, social news, scientific and technological inventions, women's corner and other content. By following the women's line and the middle-class line, the Daily Mail has made great gains in adapting to society, and the circulation of its first issue has reached 390,000 copies.

Around 1900, it reached 1 million copies, which affected the survival of The Times.

If it is the second most favored newspaper in the British middle class, there is absolutely no one to compete for the first place.

At a time when many were talking about the impact of the lira collapse on Britain, an elderly Jewish man in his early sixties walked into the Daily Mail building with a pot-bellied middle-aged man in his fifties.

"Mr. Soros. Hello, I'm Turns, editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail. It's easy to work for you. ”

"Oh. Hello, I heard your boss mention you. By the way, let me introduce you to Bain Piersman, a professor of psychology at the University of London, and I think the next step is for you to help with this. ”

"Hello, Professor Piersman. ”

"Hello. ”

The group greeted each other, and under the leadership of Turns, several people sat down around the screening room.

Soon, someone walked in with a coffee that was several times hot, and the person who was traveling with him had a videotape in his hand.

Greeting Soros and his party, Turnes picked up the tape and put it into the video recorder, which gradually stabilized as the picture shook for a while.

"Mr. Finance Minister, a well-known analyst said that the main problem of the economy is the reversal of the trade balance, and if the pound depreciates, it may not be more in the interests of the United Kingdom than the existing exchange rate, and whether the Treasury and the Central Bank will consider the depreciation as the market rumors. ”

"Mr. Finance Secretary, will the central bank choose to devalue the pound to stimulate exports, as the market expects? ”

In the video, a middle-aged man with blond hair stands out, as Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont recently faced reporters about whether the pound would depreciate

"Oh mma. You bastards always want to make big news, don't you? I recently had an idea to go on a space trip, do you want to come with me? I really want to stuff all of you bastards into rockets......"

"Your Excellency the Treasurer. The public has a right to know the government's attitude towards monetary policy. ”

"Our attitude is that the pound will never depreciate. ”

The minutes of tape came to an abrupt end, and both Turnes and Soros kept their eyes on Pierthman's face, as if waiting for him to wrap up.

In this regard, the psychology professor who resounded at the University of London just smiled faintly, picked up the coffee on the table and took an elegant sip.

"This man is lying. ”

"I want to hear and see. ”

As he spoke, his eyes blinked six times a second. ”

"Good. Thank you, Professor Piersman, for your unbiased answer. ”

"You're welcome, as a psychology professor, I have the responsibility and obligation to debunk all lies. ”

Six o'clock in the evening.

The Daily Mail was published on time.

Bain Pillman, a renowned psychology professor at the University of London, watched a video of Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont's speech today.

The person is lying, and his eyes blink six or seven times in a second, which is the standard lying response.
