Chapter Eighty-Three: The Air Force is Coming
Hanging up the phone, William couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Planning this matter was also an idea that he had by chance, and he didn't make much preparation, and he wasn't sure if he would be suspicious of Shen Jiannan because of this.
Divine will is unpredictable.
Although in terms of interests, if Brooke can be pushed up, the company will also benefit from it, but if Shen Jiannan treats his idea as what he is planning, it will not be good.
Fortunately, the belly of his own boss can hold the boat.
Show Brooke his strength, thinking of Shen Jiannan's explanation, William rubbed his hands, and couldn't help but be excited. The British have been skinning and sucking blood in Hong Kong for more than 90 years, and over the years, the British have driven out the Chinese inspectors, monopolized corruption, and cultivated associations, and I don't know how many people have been harmed.
Back in the living room, William smiled apologetically at Old Brooke.
"Father. I'm really sorry, it was a very important phone call and I had to go out and answer it. ”
Old Brooke smiled generously, and without harshness, picked up the teapot and helped William fill it with tea.
"Is that your boss?"
Old Brook could guess that it was Shen Jiannan's phone, William was not surprised, he carried two phones with him, with Old Brooke's wisdom, he couldn't guess what the phone that he usually didn't use was for.
"Yes!"
“......”
Old Brooke hesitated, William's bottom line he probably understood, he really didn't know what to say about the notorious international short, but combined with what William said before, he couldn't help but think about what kind of changes that guy would bring to Britain.
William, this guy, is very good at seizing opportunities, and as soon as he saw Lao Blue hesitating, he immediately continued the topic not long ago.
"Father. My boss just told me that the Bank of England has absolutely no chance of winning, but the Treasury guys and the Bank of England guys don't realize that England is isolated. Northern Europe is already on its own, Eastern Europe is in disarray, and southern Europe Spain and Italy have fallen completely. ”
“......”
Old Brooke was stunned, he had never realized this, never.
"Britain was able to find allies against Germany in World War II, but now the Americans clearly do not want Britain to remain in the European exchange rate system, and in the European Community as a whole, Italy and Spain, which may be allies of Britain, are finished, and I believe that the Germans and the French would be happy to see this situation, just as Britain wants to see Spain and Italy in the current situation. ”
“......”
And. International capital, which is bearish on the European economy, has made huge profits in both northern and southern Europe, and its power is growing like a snowball. ”
"What about the UK? I think you also know that during this period of time, the Bank of England's foreign exchange reserves have been in a state of outflow, and its strength has been constantly depleted, and the foreign exchange reserves that the central bank can use are not as large as they say they are. Am I right?"
“......”
The muscles on Old Brooke's face twitched, and although he didn't speak, his expression betrayed his true mind.
William was right.
As a senior official at the Bank of England, he is well aware that the central bank simply does not have that much foreign exchange reserves at its disposal, and that there are not as many £10 billion that the central bank can borrow from the IMF.
Everything is to show strength and achieve a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
"I can see through it all, do you think anyone else will believe what that Lamont guy says?"
“......”
Old Brooke said nothing with a gloomy face, his expression constantly changing, not knowing what he was thinking.
William's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, and it was already a windfall to take out a part of the Bank of England from Old Brooke, as for the rest, it depends on how Old Brooke chooses. But before that, you need to add a little more fierce material.
"And, in the long run, the exit of the pound from the ECU is not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, the Bank of England could exercise monetary policy more freely to stimulate inflation in the UK and give milk and bread to workers who have lost their jobs. Compared with the current exchange rate, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, the rich are richer, and the poor are poorer. ”
“......”
"Don't you think this is an opportunity for Labour, Father, and you can tell the Conservatives that they are wrong and you are right. ”
"They can't give up, joining the European Community is the biggest thing Major has done since he took office, and if he withdraws, there will be no one to support him for re-election for the next term. ”
"So what? We can force them to make a choice. Tell me, Father. Think about how courageously you stood up and pointed out their mistakes when everyone was wrong. What kind of integrity and foresight that is. ”
Bang bang –
Old Brook's heart beat wildly a few times.
It's entirely conceivable what kind of impact it would have if the end result were to go in this direction.
"But ......"
"Father, we have a saying in China called breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat. Do you think if you continue to do this, when will you retire? at the end of this year, or next year? I don't think it will be until the end of next year. ”
“......”
"If you win, you'll have the chance to lead Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland out of this damned economic quagmire and defeat the Conservatives who put their wealth in their pockets. It doesn't matter if you lose, Sasha is about to become one of the shareholders of our company, and you can go to Scotland to find a pasture where you can grow vegetables and flowers with your mother. ”
“......”
"That's right. Although Sasa will not hold too much of a stake, about 0.5 per cent, it will pay at least £5 million a year based on the company's current earnings. If this time goes well, this dividend may be doubled. ”
“......”
Six o'clock in the evening.
The London Evening Standard, the Daily Mail and many other media outlets have published a remarkable piece of news.
Pound Brooke, head of investment planning at the Bank of England, believes that from the current situation of the British economy, it is not necessarily the best choice for the UK to stay in the European Community, and if the bank stays in the EC at all costs, it may overdraft the UK's future development potential.
Conversely, if the central bank can implement loose monetary policy more freely, it will help stimulate inflation and reverse the trade balance.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
In the House of Commons conference room, a closed meeting is taking place. The Conservative Party, led by Norman Lamont, and the opposition Party, led by Michael Howard, are locked in a daily war of torn apart.
Being alluded to is a huge humiliation for Lamont's economic decision-making.
“FUCK。 Brooke, you bastard, you're questioning my decision. ”
"Mr. Lamont, I don't think the central bank will be able to hold the current exchange rate of the pound, and if the central bank depletes its huge foreign exchange reserves and the pound cannot stay in the ECU, we will pay a heavy price for it.
And this price is all taxpayers' hard-earned money, which they use to maintain social and public welfare, which is never allowed by the public. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, this is absolutely impossible to happen, we have abundant foreign exchange reserves, those international capital in absolute strength is fundamentally vulnerable, no one knows finance better than me. ”
