Reborn Financial Overlord

Lamont wanted to roll his eyes. After all, he is an old cunning who can get to the level of the first chancellor of the exchequer. He couldn't understand what Shen Jiannan meant.

Obviously, Shen Jiannan needs him to take the initiative to admit his mistakes and resign. If he does so, the outside world's criticism of Capital One will be transferred to the British government.

Not long after, Lamont left.

Under the anti-surveillance equipment from the polar bear, no one knew what he and Shen Jiannan were talking about.However, it can be seen from his expression of smiling and frowning from time to time that his heart is quite complicated.

reason?

Lamont had no choice.

Just like what Shen Jiannan said, even if he continued to spend time with Major, he still couldn't avoid the fate of being fired in the end.

The current Sister Mei really needs a scapegoat. If he, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, does not resign, it will be Major who needs to hand in his resignation letter. If it were him, he would do the same.

Early the next morning, Norman Lamont got up early as usual.After eating his favorite croissant, he got in the car and rushed to the Admiralty Building not far away.

But I don't know if it's because of the illusion, the number of colleagues who used to flatter and greet me when they saw me in the past is much smaller, and even the smile on the face of the guard at the door has become fake.

The feeling that the tea was going to be cold before tea made Lamont feel very bad. He instinctively guessed that something big might happen today.

"According to the statistics from the labor department, the current data is much better than before. There are signs of stabilization in employment, and the number of people claiming unemployment benefits has also declined year-on-year. Obviously, the situation is gradually moving towards a better direction."

"The latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Trade shows that the operating rate of enterprises is also gradually recovering..."

"..."

It is a routine cabinet meeting.

Under the auspices of Prime Minister John Major, ministers from various departments talked about the data changes in the past week in a serious manner.

These are all good signs. During the half month of the depreciation of the pound, orders from export processing companies are pouring in from all over the world like snowflakes, because the almost discounted pound has made the products of many industries in the UK very cheap, and therefore, Many people who lost their jobs were able to return to their jobs.

But this is not a good sign for Norman Lamont.

Every department can come up with a beautiful statistical data, but what he can come up with is only a loss data of the Ministry of Finance and the central bank.

Even, as much as several billion pounds.

And to make matters worse, it turns out that the depreciation of sterling is better for the British economy.

But before that, the exchange rate policy presided over by Norman Lamont has always insisted on staying in the European Community.Although, the real driver of exchange rate policy is Prime Minister John Major.

really.

Following the reports from various departments, John Major changed the subject and raised a very shameless question.

"There are voices from the outside world questioning our incompetence in decision-making and causing huge losses. I don't know how everyone thinks how to deal with it."

"..."

The ministers present were all good people, and no one knew what John Major meant by these words.Now that things are developing for the better, it's time to throw the blame away.

Several people glanced at each other, but no one looked at Norman Lamont who should answer this question the most.

"I think that Lord Pemberton is irrational in dealing with the behavior of international speculators, and he may not be suitable for the position of central bank governor."

"I agree with His Excellency Angel's statement that if Pemberton's ability to deal with the crisis was stronger, we might have avoided huge losses."

"Lord Lamont, what do you think?"

"......"

I think you are crazy!

Norman Lamont had resentful eyes and was full of depression. He really wanted to spit on Sister John May's face.

He knows that his career may soon be over.

"Indeed, as His Excellency Angel said, Pemberton has insufficient behavioral capabilities. In my opinion, he is not suitable to serve as the governor of the central bank."

No one has more say in the role of central bank governor than the chancellor, and since even Lamont agrees, it should come as no surprise.

Chapter 158 The Robber Becomes a Hero

Soon, everyone present confirmed the dismissal of Robin Leigh Pemberton, and before the central bank governor even arrived, he was under tremendous pressure and fell ill due to physical discomfort.

As a result, for Norman Lamont, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of sadness.

From an objective point of view, he didn't think who would do better in Pemberton's position, and at that time, he considered whether to withdraw from the exchange rate mechanism countless times, and he personally went to the Admiralty Building to solicit According to Major.

But the world always talks about results and fists, and there are always some people who need to pay for the huge losses.

For Major, this is naturally a very good start. With Robin Leigh Pemberton as the head of the central bank, guilt can help him attract a large part of the opponent's firepower in a short period of time.

"The new Governor of the Bank of England, do you have any suggestions for who to choose?"

Looking at the House of Representatives present, who was full of ghosts, Major threw out a huge pie.The new Governor of the Bank of England, enough to keep these bastards for a while, if not... Thinking, Major glanced at Lamont.

As Major predicted, when the demand for a successor to the position of Governor of the Bank of England was announced, the eyes of the MPs and ministers sitting here were like hyenas seeing rotten meat, and they barely popped out.

"I propose that the current vice president, Mr. Edward George, has extensive knowledge in finance and economics. I believe that he must be the most suitable successor."

"Your Excellency David, don't you think such a proposal is absurd. When international speculators are attacking the pound, our Mr. George still has time to brag to reporters. God, he is the second in command of the Bank of England. I'm not working in the office at the time. Do you think he's a good fit?"

"Chauvin. Are you deliberately finding fault? In that case, of course he needs to stabilize the market sentiment and appease the panic of the people. Is it wrong to talk to reporters?"

"But he didn't solve the problem. In fact, the lower value of the pound is more conducive to the recovery of the economy, isn't it?"

The words of the Minister of Industry and Trade silenced the two ministers who were arguing. This was the source of the problem that everyone agreed to target at the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank. If they refuted it, it would be tantamount to slapping Major.

"I think that Mr. Pound Brook is more suitable for this position than Mr. George. He has predicted today's results before the incident happened. Is there any better proof of his economic and financial ability than this?"

"But he was just a supervisor before, which doesn't fit the bill."

"So what. The fact is that Mr Brooke is competent enough to be Governor of the Bank of England. And the people believe in him. I think you all know what is being said about him now."

"I object. Although Mr. Brooke is very capable, the position of central bank governor is not for academic research and analysis. I very much doubt whether he can hold such an important position."

"..."

Seeing a group of congressmen and ministers arguing for the bait he threw, Major's mood was quite relaxed and joyful.

At the very least, these guys can no longer take care of pursuing their responsibilities to the end. It would be great if the position of Governor of the Bank of England can be exchanged for some balance.

"Mr. Lamont. What do you suggest?"

Lamont?

who is lamont

Representatives and ministers all looked at Norman Lamont, who had been regarded as air. Only then did they remember that there is no one more suitable to speak than Lamont for the position of governor of the central bank.

Who is it?

Being stared at by a pair of eyes, Lamont thought of the conversation with Shen Jiannan before, and couldn't help but feel a faint ridicule in his heart.All the plans and premeditations of this group of idiots have been figured out long ago, and they are still arguing endlessly here.

"I agree with Laura's proposal. Although, I don't want to admit that I made a serious mistake about staying in the EC and the exchange rate mechanism.

But it turns out that Mr. Pound Brook's previous suggestion was indeed the most correct.If we had accepted this suggestion at that time, perhaps, our losses would have been minimized. "

"..."

God!

Did I hear it wrong.

A group of people stared blankly at Lamont as if they were stupid. In the British political arena, admitting one's mistakes is something that has never happened before. Even if anyone knows that he has made a mistake, he will definitely carry it to the end.

Confess leniently?

NO.

Admitting your own mistakes will only have one result, and that is to resign and step down.

But if he does not admit it, he may keep his job.

But now, Lamont admitted that he made a serious mistake in the exchange rate mechanism.

Isn't this guy out of his mind?

Even John Major was very surprised by Lamont's reaction, although he had considered letting him resign voluntarily to bear the anger of the people, and had also found a new finance minister.

Norman, I will remember the things you did for me.

Casting a grateful look towards Norman Lamont, John Major used a small gesture to attract everyone's attention.

"I also agree with Lord Lamont's proposal. No one knows better than him who can take on the position of central bank governor. And Mr. Pound Brook's ability is obvious to all. He played a great role in our negotiations with Capital One. Important role. Without the issues he raised, I think we would have paid a lot more."

"......"

On the 9.21th.

The media publicly issued a statement: Robin Leigh Pemberton, Governor of the Bank of England, has been unwell due to the tremendous pressure he has endured in recent months. According to the doctor's advice, he has stopped all work and went abroad to recuperate.

The new Governor of the Bank of England will be Mr Pound Brooke, Special Adviser to the Treasury.

"Mr. Lamont. Is the appointment of the new Bank of England by the Treasury a means of shirking your responsibility?"

"Your Excellency Lamont. There are rumors that the Ministry of Finance appointed the new governor of the central bank to evade responsibility. What do you think?"

"......"

It has to be said that the journalists of some media in the UK are really courageous. Following the public news of the Bank of England, Norman Lamont was directly blocked at the door of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's residence, and was forced to accept various irritating cross-examinations.

Normally, Lamont would have yelled at these damn reporters, but now, he suddenly felt a kind of relaxation that he had never felt before.

"I admit it. I made a serious mistake in that matter not long ago, and caused the Bank of England a huge loss because of it."

"But for some slander and slander, I don't accept it. I am willing to take all the responsibilities and be responsible for it. Soon, I will submit my resignation to Prime Minister Mr. Major."

"..."

The reporters were dumbfounded.

Is this still Norman Lamont?

How could he admit that he made a mistake?

This politician is fake.

Lamont didn't care about this at all. Anyway, there are more lucrative jobs waiting for him.

"As for the appointment of Mr. Pound Brooke as Governor of the Bank of England, it is because he is very capable and well known. Prior to this, Mr. Brooke pointed out the mistakes made by the central bank and the Treasury, but we did not pay attention to them. "

"It turns out. He has a very unique eye for economics and finance and I can't think of a better person for the Bank of England job."

"......"

.......

"Since Shen took more than $40 billion from the Bank of England because of the stupidity of our government, it only proves that he has more vision than those idiots in the cabinet."

"Shen. He's like Robin Hood, he beat up those idiots who held power but stayed in their positions."

"From an objective point of fact, our government has lied to us at the last moment, but Shen has been telling us that the pound is going to depreciate. I don't want to say that that bastard Lamont cost me at least [-] pounds."

"God, he is like a god. I will take him as my goal in this life."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Like Mr. Kelly said, if we're sick, we should be treated and the cause of the disease should be found, not physical immunity. If the Treasury Department could have accepted Pound... Mr. Brook's proposal, I believe, will not turn into a crisis at all."

"It was he who made us realize the mistake and we should thank him."

"..."

With Lamont's speech in front of the media, what happened half a month ago was brought to a climax again.

At that time, the mainstream media and public opinion were criticizing the viciousness of the international speculator order, but now, under a gust of unhealthy wind, the wind was taken off track.

Some people think that since the market is open, no matter how much money Shen Jiannan earns from the Bank of England, that is his ability; Yes, he really helped the UK. During the week when the pound was devalued, orders from export processing companies were pouring in from all over the world like snowflakes, and many people who lost their jobs were able to return to their jobs.

Some people also publicly stated that Shen Jiannan regarded Shen Jiannan as an idol, and even hoped that he could publish and write an autobiography.

Of course, there are those who support it and those who oppose it.

The criticism from the British media has not abated. Isn’t Shen Jiannan’s gain a loss for the UK? Doesn’t he make British taxpayers, and every British man, woman, and child pay an extra fifty pounds?

However, the British media's attempt to make Shen Jiannan feel guilty about his profits was unsuccessful, and he even referred to what the British media called Black Wednesday as a bright day.

“I believe there must be a downside, … but it doesn’t take into account my moral conscience. I wouldn’t be a successful speculator if I held back out of moral conscience.”

“Nor do I regret profiting from the depreciation of the pound. As it happened, the depreciation of the pound proved to be beneficial.”

"I admit it's a loss for the UK. In this case, it is, because I know who the other side is. In a trade, some people gain and some people lose.
