Chapter Ninety-Four: A God-like Feeling
The day is short.
As the night in London fell to its quietest and the night fell in New York, George Soros and Stanley Druckenmile got together again after a day's work.
To constantly communicate with banking institutions, the energy required for a multi-billion dollar business is undoubtedly enormous.
However, there was no trace of exhaustion on Stanley Drucken's face, and his eyes were bright, and his young face was full of excitement and excitement.
"George, we're really going to get rich this time. ”
George Soros smiled slightly, and his heart was filled with a sense of relief and happiness that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The two spent an afternoon working on about $8 billion worth of pounds sterling with major banking institutions and finance companies.
Before that, the Intelligence Department of the Quantum Fund had investigated that there were not too many sellers of pounds in the market, which means that the size of the Quantum Fund's position now reaches almost 30% of the Bank of England's foreign exchange reserves.
Wait until tomorrow to get loans from major banking institutions and finance companies, and then sell them on the market tomorrow night, and all speculators will know that Quantum Fund is selling pounds on a large scale.
It is entirely predictable that under this general trend, the pound will only be forced to withdraw from the European exchange rate mechanism, and at that time, the quantum fund will not only make a huge profit, but he can also become the man who hits the Bank of England.
A sense of detachment from the gods arose.
Thinking of being adored and feared by countless people under the continuous flashing lights, George Soros smiled a little intoxicated.
However, in front of Stanley Drucken, he didn't want to be too excited and excited.
"Stanley. Be calm, it's just an appetizer and you don't need to make a fuss. It's not early, we need to take a good rest for tomorrow's work. ”
"Oh. God, it's already ten o'clock. Then I'll have to go back. See you tomorrow, George. ”
"See you tomorrow. ”
Stanley Drucken's departing was excited, and it was foreseeable that their bed would be at risk of shattering tonight.
George Soros stayed alone in the office and took out a bottle of red wine to taste, as long as this time goes well, then he, George Soros, will become the god of war in the entire financial field, and there will be countless pawns who will voluntarily wave their flags and shout to charge into battle.
Fame, fame!
Fame and fortune are inseparable.
And people are always cheap.
As long as the brand effect is good enough, that kind of aura can make people willing to risk all their wealth, even at the cost of cutting off their body organs and selling them for money. The star effect is even more than that, there are always countless brain-dead people who are willing to empty all their savings, and even embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes to seek wealth and pursue that kind of aura.
That's the power of fame.
George Soros was deeply intoxicated by the thought that he might be able to bankrupt a company with just one word, or even that a country's currency would be devalued if he said that it would depreciate its currency.
He will be like an all-powerful god who will decide the lives of millions of people, including the fate of nations.
This night, the drunk Soros slept exceptionally soundly.
The gap between people is always compared.
George Soros slept soundly, and Norman Lamont didn't sleep well all night.
Schlesinger's opinion also has an Oriental face like a dream demon, which always wakes him up from his dreams, and more than once, he is considering whether to suggest to his boss Major that he directly withdraw from the exchange rate mechanism.
But in the end, he dismissed the idea.
Joining the European Community was single-handedly promoted by Major, and he was able to serve as Chancellor of the Exchequer because he supported Major's accession to the European Community.
It was already gray, and Lamont didn't have time to think too much about it, so he walked out of the mansion after a brief wash.
The driver of the car had been waiting for a long time, but the driver could see that the boss's face was not very good, and he didn't even dare to say hello and started the car silently.
Soon, the Treasury Building appeared in front of you.
A group of people stood at the door of the building, with long guns and short guns in their hands, all reporters who didn't know where to get the news, ready to block Lamont here for an interview.
In normal times, Lamont liked these reporters very much, and under the flash and lens, he had an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
But recently..... He hated these goddamn whores to death.
If he could, he would really like these reporters to fit into the rockets that will be launched into space.
The guy who can be a reporter, all of his eyes are bright, and as Lamont's car stopped near the door, someone suddenly shouted, picked up the guy who was eating, and rushed over,
Norman Lamontton, who had just gotten out of the car, was surrounded by people, and even touched his head on the car door because it was too crowded.
"Your Excellency Lamont. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal and Handelsblatt, the head of the central bank, Helmut Schlesinger, president of Deutsche Bank, believes that a broad adjustment of the European currency would be better than a separate adjustment of the lira and pesetas. ”
Come on, come on, let me see if your panda has milk.
Norman Lamont was so angry that he wanted to kill the reporter who asked the question.
"Mr. Lamont. I'm Lisa, a reporter from Bloomberg, and some analysts believe that President Schlesinger's speech is calling for a depreciation of the pound, and I don't know how the British side is ready to respond. ”
"Your Excellency Lamont. Pound Brooke, a member of the Labour Party and a former senior official of the Bank of England, argues that it makes no sense for the pound to remain in the European exchange rate system, which will only make the current economy worse. ”
“......”
The barrage of doubts and inquiries made the muscles on Norman Lamont's face twitch, and he felt a kind of dilemma that he could not stand alone.
I am afraid that no matter how hard it tries, the UK will be forced to withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
But this kind of thing must not be spoken, otherwise, if it comes out of his mouth, then he will definitely bear the wrath of the people, and all the spearheads will be pointed at him.
"You, you, and you. Do you know what you're doing? You scoundrels, I want to kick you in the ass. I can tell you for sure that the pound will never depreciate, and there is no expectation of it, and anything with bad intentions will be crushed with absolute strength. The Bank of England is capable of beating any speculator who wants the pound to depreciate. ”
“......”
Norman Lamont is a politician who can be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and although he is panicked, his facial expression and eyes completely express the taste of affirmation and confidence.
If it weren't for the fact that his eyes blinked several times in a row because of anger.
Thankfully, no one was chasing him, and with the arrival of the security guards, the robber-like reporters were blocked outside the human wall.
"Damn journalists, they must all be lackeys bought by bastards. ”
Standing in the special elevator, Lamont scolded fiercely, and the reporter continued to ask questions, which made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.
Fortunately, arrangements have been made before, even if he is used to top the tank in the future, the money earned will be enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life.
"Schlesinger has pushed us to a dangerous point. ”
"I'm worried that as soon as the Asian market opens, traders and people who hold GBP assets will sell. ”
"In addition to raising interest rates, I recommend borrowing money from the IMF as soon as possible. ”
"And Hong Kong. We believe that the foreign exchange reserves of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) can help us withstand the selling pressure from the Asian market. ”
"However, if Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves are depleted hugely, it may cause serious shock damage to the Hong Kong dollar and even Hong Kong's economy. ”
"What does that have to do with us?"
