Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Yin Forced Shen Jiannan
Why the fuck don't you fight!
Pemberton wanted to scold his mother, no one likes to be treated by others, and no one likes to be subjected to the same level of cold words, everyone is the head of the central bank, why should he go low, he doesn't want to hear Schlesinger's strong words that are almost reprimanded.
However, the official level crushed people to death, and in desperation, Pemberton had to pick up the phone again and dial out.
"Doot-doo-"
"Doot-doo-"
For a long time, no one answered the phone at all.
Norman Lamont was simply blown up, when was it, Schlesinger, the bastard, was still dropping the chain, and he couldn't even understand the phone.
"Hit again, hit their press office. I'm going to complain about him. β
This time, the call was answered.
At Lamont's beheaving, Pemberton tactfully recounted what had happened.
"Mr. Schlesinger's speech could put the pound in a very dangerous position, and his presence at the Le MΓ©ridien at the same time as the largest seller of the pound would cause a lot of trouble if it were to be reported by the media. β
"President Pemberton, I'm really sorry. The president's statement was not approved, because at the moment we have not confirmed it, and President Schlesinger also said that tomorrow morning, he will review the report and make an appropriate statement when he arrives at his office in the morning. But now, he's off work.
As for his appearance at Le MΓ©ridien with Mr. Shen Jiannan, it was just an ordinary entertainment. Mr. Shen Jiannan expressed a strong interest in German industry and wanted to invest in Cologne, and it was his duty to negotiate with him the exact amount of investment. β
β......β
The ball was kicked back.
Norman Lamont's face turned pale and white, and if he could, he would have crossed the telephone line and spat in Schlesinger's face.
Talking to an international speculator about investment is a fool!
Finished!
This time it's all over.
"Maybe the Germans aren't quite used to this 24-hour market. β
Pemberton himself explained without believing it.
But at this point, who can do what, the German character has always been strong, and Schlesinger does this and no one can do anything to him.
"Damn bastards. β
Norman Lamont cursed with rage.
"That Oriental also appeared in Germany, which was very bad for us. Whether or not Schlesinger is socializing for duty, this sends a very bad signal to the market. β
"The pound has to stay at the bottom of the exchange rate fluctuation, Robin, what do you think? β
"The central bank will fully support the price of the pound, but I think that may not be enough, and Schlesinger does not seem to want us to stay in the exchange rate mechanism. β
"That's definitely what that bastard thinks, he's afraid that we're putting Germany's position at risk. β
"We can consider raising interest rates to stop the outflow of foreign exchange. β
"That's all I can do. β
β......β
The night is getting deeper.
Lying in bed, Lamont couldn't fall asleep, Schlesinger almost made it clear that the pound needed to be devalued, and he had dinner with a big international bear, and he could think of what it would be understood with his ass.
Possible...... Britain will really be forced to withdraw from the European monetary system tomorrow.
What to do?
Irritability made it impossible for Lamont to sleep, and after thinking about it for a long time, he sat up from his bed and picked up the phone on the table.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
The pound plunged by 5 per cent in 15 minutes, much to the uneasiness of many of Britain's most experienced banking institutions.
Edinburgh.
Becca Stephen, president of the Royal Bank of Scotland, sat in her study smoking a cigarette with her brows furrowed.
As the largest commercial bank in the United Kingdom, the Royal Bank naturally holds a large amount of pound assets, but from the news received, the Bank of England can come up with limited foreign exchange reserves, and he is worried that if the pound depreciates, it will bring a huge shock to the bank.
From a risk perspective, banks have to do something to hedge against the risk of the pound depreciating.
Bell Bell Bell β
Suddenly, a screeching mobile phone rings.
Who's going to call at this time?
Frowning, Stephen picked up the phone on the table.
"Beka. It's me, Lamont. Listen, I'm not sure if we're going to be able to stay in the exchange rate mechanism, you know what I mean?"
"Oh my God...... I understand. β
Hanging up the phone, Stephen broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he and Lamont have always had a good relationship, otherwise, this time the bank might face a huge crisis.
Without thinking about anything else, Stephen hurriedly dialed out a few numbers and arranged everything, and he was relieved.
A crisis is also an opportunity.
If this goes well, then the Royal Bank will have the opportunity to swallow up other banks in the country, HSBC, Westminster Abbey, Lloyds, Barlake...... It's up to which guy is unlucky this time.
At the same time, Frankfurt.
"I am very interested in the development of German industry and have great admiration for German engineers. Their earnestness and perseverance, as well as their dedication to craftsmanship, are simply the greatest spirits in the world. β
"I also have a great appreciation for the food culture of the East, this exquisite art, it must be dissolved in the whole spirit of the chef. It was just perfect. β
β......β
In the restaurant where no one else was, Shen Jiannan and Helmut Schlesinger tasted delicious food and talked with wine glasses.
The two did not bother to talk about monetary policy, let alone ask their views on the current European exchange rate mechanism, they knew each other very well, and when the news of the two of them appearing here together was published in the newspapers tomorrow, what kind of impact would be caused.
You boast to me, it can be said that we have a very happy conversation, and there is no estrangement and vigilance that strangers should have. As for what the Deutsche Bank press office said about the investment, neither of them mentioned it.
Shen Jiannan raised his wine glass and raised it towards Schlesinger to show his friendship, and took a sip of red wine in his heart, he actually sighed in his heart, if it weren't for this glorious era, he probably wouldn't be able to brag and fart on an equal footing with the governor of a country.
If it weren't for the dragon slaying technique that he had been immersed in since he was a child, he would still be a rich man at most like in his previous life, where could he understand the discord between the monolithic Europe.
In this kind of contest between countries, if you meddle rashly, you don't know how many times you have died.
Schlesinger also sighed, he has always felt that a character like Shen Jiannan is the executor established by a certain country or a neon family or even the royal family nine times out of ten.
Otherwise, how could there be such an achievement at such a grade.
But after chatting for a while, he realized that he might have guessed wrong.
Please report that this guy is a neon man, but now, it seems that he is a Chinese again, and his demeanor is not at all like the immaturity and frivolity that a hairy boy should have.
It is no wonder that the FΓΌhrer once wanted to cooperate with the Orientals, and now it seems that the wisdom of the Orientals is really terrible, and it is simply inconceivable to have such a strategic vision at this age.
A banquet without a theme can be described as a joy for the guests and the hosts.
With Schlesinger leaving, Shen Jiannan stood in the hotel room and looked at the Rhine River under the bright moon, his dark eyes were radiant, and there was still a hint of drunkenness before.
The thrill of hiding behind a shady person arises, and it's especially interesting if those guys find that they can't find many buyers at all.
No more, Shen Jiannan picked up the phone on the table and dialed it out.
