Reborn Financial Overlord
Page 389
Not far away, a couple of middle-aged people were standing at the door.
It was Pound Brook and his wife, Emma Cole Brook. The two smiled and looked at William and his daughter who came over. When they approached, Emma Cole Brook stood on tiptoe and gave William a The warmest hugs touch faces.
No way, every time William came, he brought luxurious and expensive gifts, and now this guy is holding an exquisite gift box, which is very valuable at first glance.
"Oh, William, you're paying again. Thank you very much."
"Mother, you are very kind. This is what I should do. You are Sasha's mother, and I love you as much as she is."
After some simple contact, William got the best out of Robert's self-taught dog-licking experience, and handed the gift box in his hand to Emma.
"Oh. My God, this is so beautiful."
Emma Cole Brook exclaimed.
A sparkling diamond necklace, reflecting dreamy colors in the sun, will fascinate any woman.
William saw it, and handed the other gift box in his hand to Pound Brook.
"Father, this is a gift Sasha chose for you, I hope you like it."
tie.
A short and elegant red tie, Armani brand, with a market price of [-] pounds.
Pound Brook was obviously very useful, with a warm smile on his face, he patted William on the shoulder to show his welcome.
Chapter 81 Labor Party (it’s the end of the month, and it’s a waste to keep tickets, so hurry up and get them) (repair)
William's extravagant gifts were not in vain. Not long after they sat down, Emma Cole Brooke brought a plate of biscuits and a set of tea sets that the British entertain guests favorite.
For some reason, Emma Cole Brooke, who had always looked very virtuous, suddenly became excited as the tea set was finished. Her brown eyes looked at William, full of excitement.
William was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the sofa. Although Emma looked well maintained and should be considered a beauty when she was young, she was also a mother-in-law.
It would be fine if old Brooke wasn't here, but this old Brooke is still around...
"William, you are a Chinese, you should know porcelain very well. This is a Yuan blue and white flower I bought in an antique shop some time ago. What do you think?"
"..."
Well, I understood the wrong meaning.
Looking at Emma Cole Brook, who was offering treasures, and Old Brook, who was sitting with a group of gentlemen but looked at him with interest, William subconsciously glanced down at the tea set on the table.
There is a blue bamboo painted on the white glaze, which is lifelike, and the blue and white patterns contrast each other, which is pleasing to the eye; Scattered ethereal dignified.Picking it up and looking it over carefully, William was a little puzzled why this cheap mother-in-law was so excited about a tea set, but he still made a truthful judgment.
"The quality of this tea set is considered, and the color is bright and clear. It is undoubtedly top-grade porcelain. How much did your mother spend to buy it?"
"A thousand pounds."
"If it's real Yuan blue and white, the price is not bad."
"Of course it's true. I often buy things in that store, and the boss dare not lie to me."
After a pause, Emma Cole showed an apologetic smile on her face.
"Oh. Look at me, I'm really rude. I was just talking about this with you, and I forgot that the water should be boiled."
soon.
Emma Cole came over from the kitchen with a boiling kettle. Sasha Brooke stood up and winked at William.
"William. I'm going to help mom cook. You talk to dad."
"..."
The two women left together, and there were only two men left in the living room. Unlike Emma Cole's love of porcelain, Old Brooke seemed to like tea very much.
"William, you are from China, you should know tea very well!"
"I know a thing or two, but our drinking method may be a little different from the UK. Kungfu tea."
Pound Brook was taken aback, his eyes widened and he flinched back exaggeratedly.
"KONGFU, Bruce Lee's KONGFU?"
Old Brook made wild gestures with his hands on his chest, and added.
"Drink tea like this?"
William didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't understand why the British guys liked to add drama so much, but it seemed that this cheap old man was a little cuter than those guys in Hong Kong.
"No. It's a way of drinking tea."
"Can you demonstrate it for me?"
"of course."
As he spoke, William opened the bag containing the tea leaves, but he couldn't help being startled when he saw the tea leaves inside.Dry-fried red tea leaves, a bit broken, very low-grade tea leaves.
"Is there anything wrong with the tea, William?"
"No problem. If Father likes it, I will bring you some good tea when I return to Hong Kong next time. You will definitely like it very much."
"Damn bastard, they lied to me that this is the best tea in China, Wuyishan Dahongpao."
Wuyishan Dahongpao is Wuyishan Dahongpao, but this is all scum.William felt a little pity for the poor old man. If he hadn't had such a cheap son-in-law, he didn't know how long he would be fooled by others.
But it can’t be blamed on Old Brooke’s ignorance. For the British, drinking tea with various ingredients, how can you taste the true texture of tea.
After a few words of comfort to the cheap old man, William picked up the tea, and as the boiling water continued to boil, smoke and dust rose from the Yuan blue and white teacup, and half a cup of red tea was licked in the milky white teacup. There is a pleasing beauty to the action.
Old Brook was stunned. He didn't expect to play such a new trick while drinking tea, so he couldn't help giving a thumbs up.
"You Chinese people really know tea too well."
"Thank you. Father, please."
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always have to add some milk or sugar to taste the tea, and there is a touch of sweetness in addition to the bitterness.
Old Brook couldn't help sighing.
"It tastes so unique. It's a pity I haven't tried this way of drinking it."
"This is the original taste of tea. If it is a good tea, it can linger on your mouth for a long time. When you have a chance next time, let your father taste the taste of top-quality black tea."
"That would be great, William, can you teach me this?"
"Of course. But it may take a long time to learn, otherwise it will be easy to burn your hands. My father is busy with work, so I'm afraid I won't have much time."
"Hey. Do you think I look like I'm busy with work? That guy Pemberton has been pushing me away since he became the president, and that bastard Lamont has been supporting him. I'm afraid I'm going to retire soon. gone."
A smile could not help appearing on William's face. The new British Prime Minister Major is the leader of the Conservative Party. As a senior executive of the left-wing Labor Party in the central bank, it is only hell that Old Brooke is not excluded.
Because the Labor Party has always opposed the Conservative Party’s proposal to join the European Community, the Labor Party believes that joining the European Community is a further strategy for the Conservative Party to promote the privatization process, which will only form more capital monopoly and make ordinary people The promotion space will be compressed again, and the gap between the rich and the poor will be further widened.
Joining the European Community was Major's most important political declaration after defeating Mrs. Thatcher. Naturally, it was necessary to suppress all opposing voices. Unfortunately, Old Brooke was the most suitable target.
Pound Brook was able to hold an important position in the Bank of England. He still has two brushes. He pointed out that the UK’s geographical location and joining the European Community cannot gain as many trade advantages as landlocked countries. On the contrary, the exchange rate mechanism of the ECU , Let the British economy be kidnapped by Germany, which is not in the interests of the United Kingdom.
Obviously, this idea is the opposite of Major's idea of governing. Old Brooke, who can criticize joining the European Community from various economic logics, will be damned if he doesn't get hit.
Isn't there such a saying, if you can't defeat you logically, you can defeat you in terms of power.
Holding the teacup and taking a sip of the tea, William smacked his mouth and said nothing.
"Father is in his prime of life, just like this tea, it tastes bitter at first, but it is also sweet, so why be so pessimistic."
This month's reward list: aassddffxx 40 yuan reward for special wert, 30 yuan reward!Thanks to the two bosses for their reward and sponsorship!Thank you for your support!
Chapter 82 Times Have Changed
He is about to become an old father-in-law, how can Pound Brook not know William's details at all.
In other words, if it wasn't for William having enough capital to associate with his daughter, with the background of the Brook family, how could Old Brook allow his daughter to associate with him, an ordinary Chinese.
He is very clear about William's strength, or in other words, he knows how terrifying the capital behind William is.
But what does that matter!
Pound Brook paused while holding the teacup in his hand, and pondered for a long time, but he still didn't understand the meaning of William's words.
No way, when it comes to charades, people in the world may not be able to compare with Chinese people.
"What's your opinion."
"If the final result is that the UK cannot stay in the European exchange rate system, but it has paid a huge price for it, my lord father thinks that some people will pay for it?"
This time, Pound Brook understood.
Politics is an art of compromise and retreat. If the depreciation of the pound is forced to exit the European exchange rate mechanism and cost huge sums of money, then those who insist that the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland stay in the European Community must pay the due price for it.And if he clarifies these things in advance, then everything he does will become a super chip after the results come out.
But is it possible?
There is no possibility at all.
Pound Brook put down the teacup in his hand and shrugged his shoulders as he drank the tea in one gulp.
"That's impossible. That fellow Lamont is arrogant, but what he said is not unreasonable. The Bank of England has 240 billion pounds in foreign exchange reserves, and can also dismantle tens of billions of foreign exchange from the IMF, and, if need be , and can also make Hong Kong buy sterling in the market, and no one can depreciate the sterling.”
Let Hong Kong buy pounds in the market!
A gleam of anger flashed across William's heart. The British are simply slaughtering Hong Kong like sheep. If the British pounds they bought lose money, wouldn't the final loss be borne by the Hong Kong people.
No, you will definitely lose money.
Although the foreign exchange reserves that the United Kingdom can use are 340 billion pounds, the Bank of England has already consumed more than 30 billion pounds when the lira was hit before. Up to now, it has consumed at least 37 billion pounds.
Moreover, during the recent period of time, British capital has been in a state of outflow, and God knows how much capital has flowed out.The foreign exchange reserves that the Bank of England can really take out are not as much as they say.The size of the position on the side of Capital One has reached 120 billion US dollars, which is 60 billion pounds. That money is simply not enough.
And at that time, if the pound depreciates, the pound bought by Hong Kong will lose money, and in the end only Hong Kong taxpayers will be able to foot the bill.
Mama batch, damn Brit, damn boar skin.
William couldn't help cursing in his heart, but what could he do? The position was different. From the perspective of the British, this was the correct approach. If he were British, he would do the same.
Burying everything in his heart, William showed a sarcastic smile.
"And what if this is the will of the Americans?"
"..."
There is no distinction between economics and politics, and Pound Brook was immediately stopped by the question.
Yes, if this is the will of the Americans, can the Bank of England really stop it?No, this must be the will of the Americans. Now that the enemy of Eastern Europe has fallen, if Europe unifies its currency, it will become the biggest enemy of the US dollar. With the shrewdness of those Jews, how can they allow the European currency unit to threaten the US dollar? status.
bell bell -
The phone rang unexpectedly, and William took out his phone to look at it, apologized to Old Brook, walked out of the villa and pressed the call button.
"William. How's the weather over there in London?"
"There was a light rain in the morning, but it has stopped now, and the air is very good."
"Why do I feel like you're driving?"
"Walter?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just called your office and said you drove out with the assistant."
"Boss. I have something to tell you. It's a big thing."
"what's up."
Looking around like a thief, William found that no one was paying attention, and William suppressed his voice to the lowest level with a look of excitement.
"BOSS. I have a big plan. My cheap father-in-law is an executive of the Bank of England, but he is a member of the Labor Party and has been squeezed out. Do you think there is any chance for him to be the governor of the Bank of England? superior."
"..."
"..."
Shen Jiannan was taken aback by William's words. Even he had never thought of such a bold idea.Influencing a country's central bank from behind is something that the United States has worked hard for hundreds of years.
Involuntarily, Shen Jiannan's dark eyes flickered.
He found that he underestimated William's guts, if he was allowed to grow up...
In an instant, Shen Jiannan laughed dumbfounded again. Since William didn't hide anything, he also knew that if he wanted to push Old Brook up, he couldn't do without the support of Capital One.Profit is the eternal topic of human beings. If even such a little guy can't control it, it's better to kill him head-on.
