Chapter 161: The Means of Hanging

"I remember it being described in this way, in terms of the goal of action: government acts in general to serve the public interest, and in a class society, it serves the interests of the ruling class. ”

Ruling class?

Benefit?

William was stunned by Shen Jiannan's words, he really didn't know that domestic politics textbooks would write the government so bluntly.

Looking at William's bewildered look, Shen Jiannan cut a cigar and lit it, and took a puff gently.

"From an objective point of view, the privatization reform in the United Kingdom has actually pushed the word capital to a higher position, and standing in the position of capital, we are not enemies but friends to the UK. At the very least, we helped Britain to save themselves from the embarrassing situation of being led by the nose by Germany. ”

"But...... The Prince of Wales represents the royal family. ”

"How do you teach Hong Kong politics?"

"What?"

"What do you think the royal family stands for besides the United Kingdom?"

“......”

"You still don't understand? ”

"Boss, if I had your brain, I wouldn't be called William. ”

Shen Jiannan was speechless, nothing else, William's level of braggar has improved.

Spit out the smoke in his mouth and watch the smoke drift in the air, Shen Jiannan continued to teach slowly like a teacher.

"We can give an example. For example, in Hong Kong, are there more British or Hong Kong high-ranking officials who really hold power? Are the justices British or Hong Kongers? The slogan of clean and honest government is clean and honest law enforcement, but why are almost all the arrests Chinese? But on the contrary, the richest man in Hong Kong is Chinese?

“......”

This time, William understood.

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, both British prime ministers have said this, and it turns out that the British have always done so.

In the TV series, Lei Luo will say that on the territory of Hong Kong, you can kill anyone, but you must not engage the British, because in the eyes of the British, Hong Kong is just a land for growing leeks.

London is no different, it is the territory of capital and aristocracy, and all the money we earn is taxpayers' money.

Don't you understand why the pound collapsed right now?"

“......”

A crazy thought couldn't help but come to William's heart, but he couldn't believe it because it was too crazy.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Royal Bank of Scotland Group and NatWestminster should not be making much less than us this time. ”

“......”

Wednesday, 9.25.

Clear.

Early in the morning, Norman Lamont got out of bed, ate a simple breakfast, picked up his resignation letter that had been prepared, and walked out of the mansion slowly.

The Georgian period of architecture, full of traces of time left by history, seems to be faintly visible in the bright morning sunshine to see its former glory and solemnity.

Standing outside the gate, he glanced at the mansion where he had lived for two years, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Lamont's eyes, people have feelings after all, in the past two years, he has been familiar with the grass and trees here, but now, there are not many choices.

Touching the metal fence on the gate with his hand, as if saying a final goodbye to the ancient mansion, Lamont turned around again, the reluctance in his eyes was gone, and only a faint mockery remained.

Compared to this damn politics, perhaps, the future is more worth looking forward to.

Front page cover: A slightly lonely back, but when viewed from the side, someone can tell at a glance that it is Norman Lamont, the Minister of Finance.

Headline: Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont formally resigned from Major Major's cabinet yesterday.

Norman Lamont: "I made an empirical mistake that everyone makes when dealing with the exchange rate mechanism, but a mistake is a mistake, and it was a mistake that cost the Bank of England and the Treasury a lot of money, and I think I have to be held accountable for it. ”

This newspaper has learned from the Cabinet that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, His Excellency Norman Lamont, has sincerely stated that he has made an empirical mistake in the exchange rate mechanism and wishes to resign from the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer. After deliberations in the Cabinet, Major's government agreed to Lamont's resignation and appointed former Home Secretary Kenneth Harry Clark to accept the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Title: A man who has the courage to take on mistakes

Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont formally resigned from Major Major's cabinet yesterday and will be replaced by Home Secretary Kenneth Harry Clarke.

According to this newspaper, His Excellency Lamont has been very conscientious during his tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the 6-to-9 job has been a part of his daily life, and there has been no slack in his two-year tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer, until the sudden currency crisis half a month ago.

From an economic point of view, everything His Excellency Lamont did during his tenure was in line with the responsibility of a Chancellor of the Exchequer, and it can be considered an empirical error rather than a mistake in his own ability.

Although, as it turns out, he may have done it wrong.

But he is the only politician who can show his duty to be as responsible as His Excellency Lamont in recent times, and he has not shirked his mistakes, like a proud warrior who has taken all the responsibility.

This newspaper has an exclusive interview with His Excellency Lamont, who said that after leaving office, he will resign from all government affairs and no longer wish to be a government employee. However, he hopes to bring his many years of experience in economic and financial management to the fore in the future, possibly as a non-executive director at Rolls-Royce Dynamics.

Rolls-Royce's managing directors are part-timers who are not paid, and these are many of the top executives of other companies, university experts and professors, and even retired politicians......

William sat in the central trading area, and under his command, the price of Rolls-Royce Dynamics stock went up like a rocket.

For a week, Capital One spent £600 million to buy 20 percent of Rolls-Royce's shares, which also increased Rolls-Royce's share price by 15 percent.

Finally, it's time for the morning close.

The price of Rolls-Royce is still at 1.805.

This result gave William a very absurd feeling, and he had always felt that it was impossible to absolutely control a company like Rolls-Royce no matter what.

The regulations of the British Securities Commission have blocked the possibility of foreign acquisition of the company in all aspects, and the various personnel structure of the board of directors has also solved the possibility of Rolls-Royce being controlled by others.

But now, in just a week, these fences suddenly seem to be completely non-existent.

"Boss. Are you coming back from the future?"
