Reborn Financial Overlord

Chapter 156 Recruiting a Chancellor of the Exchequer

"Black Sea Shipyard..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiannan thought about the place Tang Jiefang vaguely mentioned on the phone, and fell into a short thought.

The Black Sea Shipyard is the name of the outside world. In fact, its real name is the Nikolayev Shipyard.

The tonnage and construction capacity of the ship cannot be compared with the cradle of Imperial Russia, the former Soviet Navy's warships, the Baltic Shipyard, which is the 189th Shipyard;

In terms of its long history and technological advantages, it cannot be compared with the Admiral Shipyard in St. Petersburg. This shipyard built 290 submarines during the Soviet period, including 41 nuclear submarines. It and Severodvinsk Shipbuilding The factory is the only two shipyards in Russia that can weld titanium alloy nuclear submarines.

The shipbuilding scale of the Black Sea Shipyard was only ranked fifth in the Soviet period.

However, although it was only able to rank fifth in the Soviet period, the Black Sea Shipyard has an irreplaceable position in the Soviet period.

It can produce aircraft carriers, and it is the only shipyard capable of producing and aircraft carriers among the major shipyards in the Soviet era. The largest [-]-ton aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" of the Polar Bear Navy is built by this factory. of.

That's right, the only one.

Due to the phone call, Tang Jiefang didn't make his words too clear, but as a hooker who jumped out of the chessboard and combined information across time and space, Shen Jiannan still didn't realize what Tang Jiefang meant when he mentioned the Black Sea Shipyard .

But when I think about the fact that this shipyard was so poor that half of the construction went bankrupt because of an order for a 2600-ton cruiser, the feeling of reckless waste of everything and everything is so hateful.

That is a shipyard that can independently develop, produce, and assemble an aircraft carrier, but it is so poor that it can't even afford the wages of the workers. 80.00% of the completion is completed, and it went bankrupt again because of poverty.

It's going to go bankrupt anyway, why not take it down yourself?

After an unknown amount of time, the moving car stopped slowly and steadily.

"boss!"

Nan Akhmetov surrounded him with a few bodyguards. The tall bodies of these people made the surroundings tightly packed. It has to be said that this second lieutenant from the KGB is indeed better than Tang Dunhou in terms of protecting people. An idiot monkey is more experienced.

There are no dead ends in all directions, even if there are snipers ambushing in the distance, it is impossible to find any space to shoot.

It's not that Shen Jiannan is too afraid of death, the main reason is that he doesn't have a little bit of compulsion in his heart.

The whole of Europe has been messed up by him, and people are ruined every day. God knows if a guy will come out to kill him, or some guy with his head off his belt will ask him to borrow some money.

This is not the most terrible thing, if a guy comes here for sex, and he is not as beautiful as Claudia Cardina, wouldn't it be the greatest tragedy in life.

No way, anyone can come and rape him.

The group returned to the villa safe and sound, and Lao LuoTou, who had already arrived, greeted him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Boss. That idiot Lamont agreed. You can arrange a better place to meet him."

"Just at the villa. Other places may not be very convenient."

"Shall I make fun of him?"

"Carrot head. There's a hole over there, do you see it?"

"..."

Night fell.

The quiet moonlight is like silver sand, covering the entire city of London under the night.

In a luxurious and comfortable restaurant, Shen Jiannan held a glass of red wine and gently raised his glass to Norman Lamont.

Uh......

The Lamont in Old Carrot's mouth is Norman Lamont, the current British Chancellor of the Exchequer.

As for how he met Shen Jiannan in private, maybe it was due to his good classmate relationship with Old Luobotou?

God knows.

After taking a sip of the red wine in the glass, Shen Jiannan picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of beef on the plate and began to chew.But seeing the complicated expression on Norman Lamont's face, this guy raised his eyebrows and showed a puzzled look.

"Mr. Lamont. This is the Kobe beef I specially sent someone to bring from Japan. Isn't it to your liking?"

Looking down at the £[-]-a-gram Kobe beef, Lamont felt mixed feelings.

The browned beef is fat but not greasy, and the aroma that wafts makes one look appetizing. However, this damn guy in front of him has made his own finance minister work, and it has come to an end.

"Shen. If you invite me here, don't you just invite me to taste these foods?"

"Oh. We can talk about it after dinner, don't you think?"

"..."

Finally, Shen Jiannan had enough to eat and drink, but this guy didn't take the initiative to bring up the reason for inviting Lamont, and made tea again as if nothing happened.

Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain, as the boiling water boils, the smoke and dust reveals a hint of tea fragrance.

Tea is good tea.

However, Lamont's patience was stretched to the limit by the tedious procedure of making tea.

"Shen. Could it be that you invited me here just to humiliate me?"

"No, no. Mr. Lamont, you can't think so. I admire your economic insights very much. Although we used to be rivals, that was not my original intention."

With that said, Shen Jiannan picked up the teapot and poured it into the cup in front of him.

The strong tea is transparent red-yellow, clean and without impurities, and the tea is fragrant, which makes people feel the fragrance of tea.For an Englishman, although he doesn't know how to appreciate the oriental tea ceremony, he can still feel the unique charm between the brewing.

Probably feeling Shen Jiannan's sincerity, the impatience on Lamont's face stopped, and his eyes became deep and wise.

"Are you Japanese?"

"Is this important to us?"

"What are you looking for me for?"

"Your Excellency Lamont, what do you think the Major government will give to the people in the end?"

"..."

Lamont didn't know what to say.

They are both smart people, how could he not know, lying is meaningless.

It was predictable with his ass, that guy Major would definitely fire him, even though it had been so long since they hadn't acted.

"But I thought, this is my thing."

"No, no. To be honest, Mr. Lamont, although we have been in different positions, I admire your excellent ability very much. I am sure that no one in your position will do it better. Good. But if you were replaced by Sister Mei, you would do better than him."

The weasel has no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year.

Facing the flattery that Shen Jiannan opened his mouth, Norman Lamont's vigilance was raised to the limit.

"What exactly do you want to express?"

"Oh. Well, Capital One lacks a decision-maker in Europe, a real decision-maker, and I think you're a perfect fit."

"Walter?"

Norman Lamont was dumbfounded.

He never dreamed that Shen Jiannan ordered Lao Luobotou to invite him to talk about this kind of issue.

God, he's the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Great Britain.

"Mr. Lamont was surprised? But I think it's nothing. Alemio Fraga used to be the president of the Bank of Brazil, but now he works for Quantum Fund. Alan Greenspan once worked in a financial Corporations do things, and he's now the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States."

"Stop. Are you trying to bribe me?"

"No no. As I said just now, I appreciate your rich experience and excellent ability very much, and I want to hire you as the executive director of Capital One Europe."

This is so ridiculous.

Norman Lamont didn't believe what Shen Jiannan said at all, which is really ridiculous.

"You mean, you want to hire me? Shen. This is so ridiculous, why should I agree to you?"

"How soon do you think Lord Major will change the Chancellor?"

"..."

Nima!

Can you not sprinkle salt on Lao Tzu's wounds, you bastard, how could I have come to this point.

A trace of anger appeared on Norman Lamont's face, and he felt naked humiliation.

However, Shen Jiannan didn't give him a chance to get angry.

"Three months. I think Major will replace the new Chancellor of the Exchequer within three months at most. I think you know the reason better than me."

"So what. This does not mean that I need to work in your company. Even if I retire, I believe that the Queen will definitely arrange other positions for me."

"Of course. But how about another reason?"

"Walter?"

"For example..."

With that said, Shen Jiannan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, at the same time, stretched out a finger.

"An annual salary of £1000 million. Is that enough reason?"

"..."

Chapter 157

The government is the general term for state agencies and officials. In a class society, it serves the interests of the ruling class.However, thousands of years of history have proved that no matter what kind of government there are various problems.

In the governance of the British government, there are also various problems, the most prominent of which is that officials are unwilling to take responsibility for decision-making mistakes and policy failures.

Because as long as you admit your mistakes and admit that you made a mistake, it is tantamount to admitting that you can't do it. Such a structure generally means stepping down.And what he did, the only choice was to bite the bullet and stick to it.

Therefore, British officials have always paid attention to "standing up to the classics", and this tradition has also encouraged the phenomenon that senior government officials shirk responsibility for decision-making and policy failures.

But despite this, there are many cases where British ministers resigned or were dismissed due to major events or accidents in their jurisdiction.

According to an incomplete statistical report, from 1970 to 1990, a total of 33 senior government officials resigned because of this, six of them resigned because they did not want to take collective responsibility; eight resigned because extramarital affairs or sex scandals were exposed, and one of them simultaneously Accused of influence peddling -- he was found to have used public money to pay for his mistress's overseas vacation during a court trial -- and eight others were forced to resign after revelations of his dealings with unscrupulous businessmen or improper payments came to light.

At most, there were ten people who were forced to resign due to mistakes in policy implementation or serious misjudgments.

As for the examples of being held accountable for errors in policy implementation, there are various examples.

In 1985, Alan Stewart, undersecretary for Scottish affairs, used a pickaxe to "hail" demonstrators against a road construction project in his constituency. As a result, he not only lost his official hat, but was also fined [-] pounds.

In 1986, the then Minister of Trade and Industry, Brittain, resigned due to the leak of a letter from the Solicitor General in the takeover case of Westland Helicopters.

There are many examples of quitting for personal gain or personal integrity issues.

In 1984, two deputy ministers resigned after it was discovered that they had each received £[-] for advice to Parliament.

Uh.......

That's right, it's £1000.

That's very little?

No.

You must know that although the United Kingdom has always been a veteran capitalist country, in 1984, the per capita annual GDP was only [-] U.S. dollars, and if converted into pounds, this figure was even less than [-] U.S. dollars.

Why not get paid £[-] for just asking a question.

In the past few years, driven by the privatization process, the British economy has grown to a certain extent, but if it grows again, the per capita GDP will only double, and the gap of [-] times is about as far from the earth to the moon.

1000 million pounds!

Seeing the finger that Shen Jiannan stretched out slowly, Lamont stood up suddenly, his face was flushed red, his eyes were fixed on Shen Jiannan, and the muscles on his face were constantly twitching, and his throat was twitching. There was a burst of squirming.

Damn devil!

How dare you try to seduce me.

"what can I do for you?"

There was no more reliable answer than this, Shen Jiannan bared his teeth and made a gesture of please.Lamont hesitated, but finally sat down.

"Our investment in the UK has disturbed many people. However, as Mr. Pound Brook analyzed, the depreciation of the pound will have a positive effect on the British economy. The original intention of Capital One and myself was To help change the situation in Britain, but it seems that many people are misinterpreting this intention."

You are such a liar.
