Chapter 269: John's Condition

However, just as John got up and was about to go to England to pick the industrial pearl in person, in a skyscraper on Fifth Avenue not far from him, Soros was sitting on the sofa with a glass of whiskey and leisurely watching the news, and the TV was showing the footage of Bundesbank President Schresinger facing reporters.

"Germany will not cut interest rates....... Schlesinger said this in front of reporters.

Watching Bundesbank President Schresinger say at the press conference that he would not help the UK, the corners of Soros's mouth rose proudly, as long as the Germans do not cut interest rates, he is fully sure that he will short the pound, and if this one succeeds, he will make at least billions of dollars.

As for whether the British will retaliate afterwards, Soros is not afraid at all, he is an organized person with backers, so he will not be afraid of the British retaliation.

"Stanley, we can act. Soros looked sideways at his assistant sitting next to him. "Let Britain tremble. ”

"Okay. Stanley Druckenmiller nodded, excited that he would be in charge of the financial war that was destined to shock the world, and that if it went well, he was confident that he would be able to crush the pound in three days.

After Stanley Druckenmiller went out to arrange specific matters, Soros also picked up the phone on the table, ready to carry out the first step of the plan, he was going to sell pounds to various financial institutions to panic the market.

The next day, when the morning sun slowly rises and the golden sun falls again on London, the largest financial center in Europe, a group of long-awaited predators also wake up from the darkness, smelling their prey and ready to start the final blow.

As the Quantum Fund took the lead in selling the pound in the foreign exchange market, major financial companies also began to sell the pound in their hands, and as more and more pounds were sold, the exchange rate of the pound began to plummet.

The British department that monitors the foreign exchange market saw that speculators began to sell the pound, and after the exchange rate fell, they began to buy back the pound according to the plan that had been developed in advance, in an effort to maintain the exchange rate of the pound.

This unprecedented financial war has thus unfolded in the process of selling, selling, buying, buying, buying, and buying, and the key to victory or defeat depends on which side has more money.

Then, just when everyone was paying attention to who would be the winner in this financial war, John was sitting in Prime Minister John Major's study with Dani on 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister, chatting.

"Mr. Morgan! John Major looked at John with a smile on his face.

He knew that the mastermind behind this fight against the pound was the Morgan family, but he couldn't do anything about John, even if he hated it in his heart, he had to smile and show a hospitable appearance at this time.

"Thank you!"

John smiled slightly, sat on the sofa leisurely and took a sip of coffee, the coffee in Downing Street is not very good, and he is naturally not as confident as he is using his own money with taxpayers' money. But John didn't come all the way from New York to London for coffee.

"Mr. Major!"

John gently placed the coffee cup on the table, looked at John Major who was sitting across from him and smiled. "I've heard that the pound has been having some trouble lately?"

Pound has not encountered difficulties, don't you know? John Major despised John in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face. "A little problem, we can deal with it. ”

"Oh, it looks like I'm overthinking. John said leisurely. "But can you really handle it?"

Without waiting for John Major to answer, he continued. "Soros has prepared $15 billion to short the pound, and other financial institutions have also prepared tens of billions, and now there are about $50 billion in the foreign exchange market to short the pound, can you really handle it?"

Hearing John's words, John Major knew that Britain was going to lose this financial war, and the other side prepared 50 billion US dollars, while his side only had more than 30 billion US dollars, and he could not stabilize the exchange rate of the British pound no matter what.

Just when John Major was thinking about how to survive this financial crisis, John on the side spoke again. "Originally, I had prepared tens of billions of dollars, and I was going to help Britain, but since you can handle it, then I didn't say it. ”

"Oh?" John Major looked at John suspiciously, a little unbelieving what he had just heard, the mastermind behind this attack on the pound was the Morgan family, and now John actually said that he wanted to save Britain, which made him a little puzzled by what medicine John sold in the gourd.

"Mr. Morgan, we don't talk in secret, this operation to block the pound is led by the Morgan family, and now you have come to tell me that you want to help Britain, which is very incredible. John Major couldn't guess what John was going to do, so he had to have a showdown.

"No, no, no....... John held out his index finger and shook it. "Mr. Major, first of all, I would like to correct that my father is the one who is holding back the pound this time, not me, and secondly, I like England, and I have a deep friendship with Her Majesty, so I am willing to help. Besides, I'm the only one in this world who can help Britain now, isn't it?"

Germany has made it clear that it will not cut interest rates, Italy has fallen, France is too busy to take care of itself, and it has to be said that Britain has made a bunch of plastic friends.

"So how can Mr. Morgan make a move?" John Major asked, staring at John. He certainly wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that John would help Britain at any cost, because there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Well......," John pondered for a moment, then looked up at John Major. "To help England is to go against my father, and Mr. Major must give me an account of my father. ”

"And what do you need to explain?" John Major knew that John was going to make an offer.

"I think Rolls-Royce is a good account. John stated his purpose.

John Major gasped when he heard this, he knew that John's appetite would definitely not be small, but he didn't expect John's appetite to be so big, and he wanted the industrial pearl of Britain.

"Mr. Morgan, you're asking too much! Rolls-Royce is the industrial jewel of our country, and I can't meet your request. John Major rejected John's offer, Rolls-Royce was so important to the UK that he couldn't possibly agree.

"Mr. Major, don't be too busy refusing it, I don't want all Rolls-Royce, I just want 80 percent of the shares, and the British government retains 20 percent of the shares. And when I bought Rolls-Royce, the company was still in the UK and not moving to the US. "John took a step back, negotiating this kind of thing is that you take a step back, I take a step back, and find a price that everyone can accept.

"That's not going to work, I can't give an account to the government, and I can't give an account to the people. John Major waved his hand and rejected John again.

John was not annoyed when he heard this, and continued to persuade him. If Britain loses this financial war, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on the people and reduce the welfare of the people.

As for the government, it is very easy to explain, the United States launched the Joint Strike Fighter Program this month, and is ready to invest $50 billion in the research and development of fifth-generation fighters, as long as I acquire Rolls-Royce, then Rolls-Royce will become a joint venture, and then some research and development projects can be handed over to Rolls-Royce, and the United Kingdom can also become a first-class partner, as long as the research and development is successful, the United Kingdom can be the first to use, and the number of purchases can also be relaxed, so that Mr. Major, don't you be able to explain to the government? Finally hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Of course, if Mr. Major is not interested, I am not reluctant, there are many partners in the development of fifth-generation fighters, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands are very interested. John found a suitable reason for John Major, and finally did not forget to threaten him, the fifth generation fighter is the main air force in the future, if the friends around the UK have the fifth generation fighter, only the UK does not, then what should the UK do then, do you go to Russia to buy?

John Major frowned when he heard John's words, and this time he didn't easily refuse, whether it was for his own sake or from a military point of view, he couldn't decide.

"Mr. Morgan! I need to think about it. John Major couldn't make up his mind for a moment, this was beyond the scope of a company, and he needed to consult with the cabinet.

"No problem, Mr. Major can come to Buckingham Palace with the agreement after thinking about it. ”

After John finished speaking, he left 10 Downing Street with Dani, the purpose of his coming here today has been achieved, as for how John Major will choose, he is not worried, because there is no choice in front of John Major at all.
