Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Giant Pit

Norman Lamont's tone was indescribably shocked and terrified, he never thought that the Bank of England, which is widely recognized as the world's most powerful central bank, would not be able to withstand even fifteen minutes.

How exactly is it possible to sell up to thousands of lots in a minute?

Could it be that speculators all over the world are shorting the pound?

Or does the pound really have to depreciate?

No!

There must be no depreciation.

Thinking of what he had said, Lamont quickly found enough reason to veto this damn idea, if Britain was allowed to withdraw from the ERM at this time, then he would definitely be nailed to the frame of shame in history.

Hanging up the phone with Sol Chaga, Lamont immediately summoned a meeting of the finance officials and the governor of the Bank of England, Robin Leigh Pemberton.

"We have consumed seven billion foreign exchange reserves. ”

"If sellers continue to borrow pounds from us to sell, we may not survive next week. ”

"I have contacted the Managing Director of the IMF, Michel Condessous, who agreed to our application for an aid loan......"

“......”

"If it doesn't work, we can think about doing something else, for example, raising interest rates. ”

“......”

Lamont was distraught by the adviser's deliberations with the Bank of England, and he was a little unsure whether these dares would have an effect on the market. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, he knows very well that the root of the problem lies in Germany, and if the Germans can lower interest rates again, then the pressure on the pound will be infinitely weakened.

"If the Germans can lower interest rates at this time, it will help us a lot. ”

“......”

At the same time, Frankfurt International Airport.

A flashing light of more than 100 planes, roaring landed on the airport runway, when the plane stopped, Shen Jiannan strode out of the cabin, the night wind blew, a cool surge, making people feel bleak.

Putting on the coat handed over by Tang Dunhou, he stood at the door of the cabin and looked around, and a stone that was pressing on Shen Jiannan's heart was removed.

He's been worried that the advent of programmatic deals that shouldn't be in this era might cause some off-trajectory effects, but for now, everything is still on the same trajectory.

Otherwise, Schlesinger would not have agreed to eat with him at this time.

The Frankfurt Financial Centre is located in the small town of Eschern in Hesse, home to the old Frankfurt Bishop's Cathedral, the World Museum, and the German Central Bank in the gentle flow of the Rhine.

Receiving the news from the airport, Helmut Schlesinger glanced at the pound to mark on his computer, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Although the Financial Investigation Department did not find out that Britain had participated in the sniping of the lira before, he believed that the British shit-stirring sticks would definitely be able to see this kind of thing, and now it was time for those bastards to see who should be the real masters on the European continent.

Bang bang!

There was a knock on the office door, and as Schlesinger looked over, assistant Annette Schwarz walked in.

"Mr. Shen has arrived. ”

"Tell those reporters that I'll be interviewed by them at Le Méridien. ”

Annette Schwarz was taken aback that the place where Schlesinger was going to have dinner with Shen Jiannan was the Le Méridien Hotel, where she was interviewed by the media.

Oh, my God!

"This ......"

"What's the problem?"

"It's not good to be said by the big mouths of the media, right?"

I just want them to say it, otherwise why would I be there to be interviewed by them.

Of course, this kind of thing must not be spoken.

Schlesinger straightened his suit, made sure that there was nothing to damage the image of the instrument, and gave the help an answer that could be explained.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that? Shouldn't the governor of the Central Bank be entertained by a multinational giant who wants to invest in Germany?"

"But...... He is the biggest bearer of the pound. I'm worried that this will send a different signal to the media. ”

"What does this have to do with us? It's a headache for those-stirring sticks. ”

Knowing Schlesinger's will, Annette Schwarz naturally couldn't say anything, she shrugged her shoulders and expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Schlesinger, I don't agree with the term-stirring stick. That makes me feel like I'm a piece of, which is disgusting. ”

“......”

Schlesinger found that he was speechless.

Le Méridien Frankfurt.

A reporter from the Wall Street Journal and a reporter from Handelsblatt, a German financial period, stood in the hotel lobby with their interview equipment in hand, and they were talking.

They didn't expect that Schlesinger would actually be interviewed by them, and it seemed to be arranged at a dinner.

That's big news.

The pound has plummeted, the eyes of the global investment industry are focused on Europe, and almost everyone is watching what Deutsche Bank will do.

Whatever Schlesinger says, the impact will be enormous.

Suddenly, a group of capable and temperamental people, wearing black suits and black ties, walked into the hotel lobby.

Could it be Schlesinger coming?

The reporters present were a little puzzled, the financial district is very safe, Schlesinger has never traveled with such fanfare, but at this time, the big man who went to the Le Méridien Hotel seemed to be only this gentleman.

Doubts to doubts, the reporters stood up with the equipment and surrounded the group.

"Get out of the way!"

"Please keep your distance. ”

"Come on again, don't blame me for being rude. ”

“......”

The rough shoving and cold pistols left a group of reporters dumbfounded. How do these guys look like mafia and not like bodyguards.

Belch......

I have to say that the guys who can be reporters have a vicious vision.

only repaid 200 million, and still owed 800 million, Katina arranged for more than a dozen people to follow Shen Jiannan to avoid this guy from running away, so he came to Germany, and these people came with him.

And then......

The reporters saw Shen Jiannan, who was surrounded by a wall.

"Oh my God. It's that Eastern devil....."

"How did he end up here?"

"Schlesinger will come later. ”

"Oh God. Did they make an appointment to meet here?"

"Oh my God, this is going to be super big news. ”

“......”

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

As the biggest villain in Europe today..... No, as the biggest short in the European currency market today, there is no reason why the major media organizations do not know him.

A group of reporters were flushed, and they immediately associated Schlesinger with the presence here.

Even many people have a brilliant idea, even if Schlesinger and Shen Jiannan will not have any intersection, as long as both of them appear here and report it, it will be as terrifying as a bomb.

The combination of a German central bank governor and a big short on the European exchange rate mechanism is too easy to conjure.

"Hello, distinguished Mr. Shen. I'm Jordan Curry, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, and are you here to meet Mr. Schlesinger?"

"Hello, Beauty. I'm Handelsel Gundogan, I wonder why you came to Germany at this time?"

“......”
