Chapter 156: Chicken Soup Is Poisonous
?? The Morgan family has always been cautious in choosing an heir, because as the elder Morgan said, the patriarch of the Morgan family is not an ordinary head of the family, but the head of the family, who shoulders the responsibilities of the consortium, political parties, associations, and hundreds of millions of people.
Moreover, the patriarch of the Morgan family is also for life, unlike the president and the prime minister, who have a certain term of office.
Therefore, in the Elders' Chamber of the Morgan family, there is a warning quote: Once the rights are delivered, only death can take them back.
This sentence is to remind the elders of the Morgan family to be careful when it comes to choosing an heir...... Be careful...... Be careful.
Because if you make a mistake, it's like the warning quote says, only death can end.
As for what kind of abilities are required to be eligible to become an heir, this is not necessarily.
Because the assessment of each generation of heirs seems to be the same, but in fact it is different, ostensibly to earn a certain amount of money, but in fact, through the process of earning money, to assess whether the candidate has the required ability.
And this ability is not fixed, it is flexibly formulated by each generation of patriarchs and elders according to the current situation of the Morgan family.
For example, the second generation of patriarchs must have a positive and pioneering spirit.
The third generation of patriarchs must have a tenacious will and the ability to surpass themselves.
And when it comes to John, the abilities he needs to have are naturally different from the previous five patriarchs.
Times are changing, the Morgan family is changing, and the abilities needed to be possessed must also change so that they will not be eliminated.
But this kind of assessment was very depressing for John, and he went to Poland to get the money back, but in the end, it was empty.
The old Morgan on the side saw that John was a little depressed, and patted John's shoulder very rarely. "John, nothing in this world can be accomplished without effort, and the difficulties you face today will one day become the steps you will climb to the top of the mountain, and then you will be grateful for all the hardships, because it is they that make you extraordinary. ”
This is a bit like an article John read before, saying that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones...... , John in the back doesn't remember, but vaguely remembers that this article seems to have been written by Master Meng, so chicken soup is not an invention of modern people, it was created thousands of years ago.
But no matter what, John had to dry this bowl of chicken soup, after all, old Morgan didn't boil it often.
When old Morgan saw that John had listened to him, he walked back to his desk and sat down, and the expression between his brows returned to his previous solemn appearance. "John, since this money can't be used as an assessment fund, then I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it to you when the time comes. ”
"Ugh"
In his previous life, when he was a child, every time the New Year came, the elders in the family would give him New Year's money, but when he got up the next morning, his parents would say to him: You are still young, and your parents will keep it for you first, and they will give it to you later.
But it can be kept and kept, and he didn't see the money come back until John was reborn, so he doesn't believe it when he is killed now.
He vowed to get the money back from old Morgan. "Father, since this money can't be used as assessment funds, then I have other uses. ”
"What use can you have?" said old Morgan, picking up the papers on his desk and flipping through them, without even lifting his eyelids.
And when John saw the attitude of old Morgan, he knew in his heart that this matter was mysterious, but he had to try no matter what, even if he couldn't get it back, he could get half of it back, so he hurriedly organized the language. "Father, you know, the heir to the British branch of the Rothschilds is coming to Los Angeles to trouble me, so I want to go to England and make some trouble for them. ”
"Oh......"
Old Morgan looked up at John in surprise.
You know, John's impression in his heart has always been that he is humble, kind, and never takes the initiative to cause trouble, but now that John is actually going to take the initiative to find trouble with the Rothschild family, how can this not surprise him! "What trouble are you going to give the Rothschilds?"
John saw the appearance of old Morgan at this moment and knew that there was a play, so he hurriedly replied. "Father, the main business of the Rothschild family is to manage assets and luxury goods for the wealthy, so I want to short the pound.
As a result, the British economy will decline, and the investment of the Rothschilds will be affected.
Wealthy people will also tighten their money when the time comes, which will lead to a decrease in the sales of luxury goods.
And more importantly, I want to knock the Rothschilds on the side of the Rothschilds by shorting the pound and let them know who is the king of this world. ”
"Oh......"
When old Morgan heard this, he threw the document in his hand on the table, and looked at John with interest, John today surprised him very much, especially when he finally said that he was going to knock on the Rothschild family and tell the Rothschild family who was the king, he vaguely felt that John revealed a momentum.
This momentum surprised him too much, because he had been worried that John was too weak, and now he obviously didn't have to worry about it anymore.
So old Morgan, who was in a good mood, not only changed the majesty on his face, but even his tone softened. "John, what do you want to do short the pound, you have to know that more than $4 billion can not be shorted the pound. ”
"Yes, father, $4 billion would certainly not be able to short the pound ...... in normal times. John saw the change in old Morgan, and knew that the odds of getting the money back had become greater, so he said even harder. "But now an opportunity arises for us to short the pound with 4 billion. ”
"Oh...... What chance?" asked Morgan Sr. with interest.
"German reunification," John replied. "With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the merger of East and West Germany, in the coming year, the newly unified Germany will inevitably undergo large-scale infrastructure construction, and the flow of funds will increase, and the Bundesbank will inevitably raise interest rates to prevent inflation.
As a member of the European exchange rate mechanism, the United Kingdom has been sluggish in recent years, and several times such as reviving the economy through interest rate cuts have failed.
Therefore, once Germany raises interest rates, the UK, as a member of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, must follow suit, which will undoubtedly drag the UK into the abyss, and then it will be the time for us to act.
???? I believe that as soon as we make a move, other speculators will flock to it like sharks that smell blood, and then there will be not 4 billion, but tens of billions of people who will be involved in shorting the pound.
???? And Britain is strong, and it can't withstand the gnawing of these people. ”
????“ Yes."
???? Morgan Sr. nodded, and at the same time raised his own doubts. "If Britain goes to the Bundesbank, and the Bundesbank agrees to cut interest rates, then your plan will be ruined, and you may have to lose a lot of money at that time. ”
????“ Father, the Bundesbank is definitely not going to save the UK. John affirmed. "Bundesbank President Schresinger is a very stubborn and strict old man, the kind of person who wants to drink coffee with a measuring cup and go to the toilet with an alarm clock, and this kind of person will never agree to a rate cut. And the German government will not lose its own interests to help Britain tide over the difficulties. ”
