America's Big Hero

The two sides continued yesterday's killing in the foreign exchange market.

In one day, the real money invested by both parties in the foreign exchange market was as high as 150 billion US dollars!

You attack and I defend, repeatedly competing for high and low, killing the foreign exchange market in a bloody storm.

In the evening, Lamont received a call from the Spanish Finance Minister and said only one sentence, "It's terrible!"

That night, Lamont called a meeting of finance officials and Bank of England Governor Robin Leigh Pemberton, and the two sides agreed to start feeling more positive about the pound from Wednesday's opening if it continued to fall tomorrow.

If it still doesn't work, the sequel raises the rate.

Having decided on a strategy, the exhausted Lamont was about to announce the end of the meeting and go back to rest to prepare for tomorrow's battle, when the door of the meeting room was knocked open.

Everyone looked up and saw Lamont's secretary stumbling in.

"You're crazy!" Lamont, who was already so upset that he couldn't get angry, seemed to be ignited, and cursed loudly: "Get out, you impolite bastard!"

The secretary's face turned blue and red after being scolded, she lowered her head, gritted her teeth fiercely, and her mouth smelled of rust.

A few seconds later, the secretary stood up, pursed her lips, bent slightly, and retreated respectfully, as if her steps were measured.

"Dong dong dong" there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Come in!" Lamont said coldly.

The secretary walked in, closed the door gently, then turned around and said with a slight bow, "Sir, there is some news."

"Say." Lamont closed his eyes half-closed. It wasn't because he was pretending. The foreign exchange market in London was closed, so even if the group of Wall Street hungry wolves had any means, they couldn't use them. Everything will be decided tomorrow.

He had heard enough bad news today that he didn't believe anything worse could scare him.

“A piece of news has just come from Germany that Bundesbank President Schlesinger has been interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Mirror, The Guardian and Handelsblatt.” The secretary's voice was frustrating, with a London accent reminiscent of an aristocrat.

Um?Lamont sat up straight, opened his half-closed eyes, and turned to stare at the secretary, feeling a little thumping in his heart.

No way?

No way!

What the hell are you going to say about Schlesinger's one sentence that caused Lila to collapse?

The heartbeat speed increased suddenly, and Lamont's lips trembled slightly, don't come here!

"Mr. Schlesinger said that he thinks that a broad adjustment to the exchange rate of European currencies would be better than a separate adjustment to the lira." The secretary's tone was calm and unhurried. What is a British housekeeper?

Lamont's pupils dilated instantly, and he stood up abruptly, so fast that he brought the chair down and made a 'bang'.

As if he didn't realize it, Lamont's expression was distorted, and he raised his hand tremblingly. Before he could say a word, his body shook, and he fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

"Mr. Lamont!"

"Mr. Lamont!"

The secretary exclaimed and rushed over. When she lowered her head, the corner of her mouth curled up in a sneering arc. Damn Falk, are you better than me, ha.

It's not that the secretary disrespected Lamont, the finance minister. In a word, who hasn't scolded the boss for being an idiot?

Of course, the secretary also noticed it. In Schlesinger's words, Lamont was about to die.

After a burst of beating, someone hurried out to call for a doctor, but luckily it was just a momentary rush, nothing serious.

Struggling to sit up, Lamont stared at Bank of England Governor Robin Leigh Pemberton, "Call, call Schlesinger, he's crazy, he's crazy, he's going to bring the whole of Europe down!"

"Call the Bundesbank and ask them to announce that the press release is unauthorized and that it's all made up."

Robin Leigh Pemberton opened his mouth. He didn't think he could change the minds of the Germans, nor did he think Britain had the ability to make the Germans subdued.

Besides, with so many newspapers, don't Wall Streeters have their own channels? That old guy Murdoch is now an American!

Of course, if you know what you know, you still have to work hard and show it to everyone.

ERM rules, the Bank of England must buy pounds at the lower limit of the floating range (2.7780), but this rule is only valid during the opening hours of London.

Sean also didn't know if Schlesinger was lowered, so how could he say such a thing.

Is it really upholding justice, or revenge on the British, or secretly voted for the Americans.

Even between China and Japan, there is no... ahem.

Anyway, Murdoch told Sean that's what Schlesinger said.

I can only say, admire!

4月25日，星期三，伦敦时间8：30，BJ时间16：30分。

When the market opened in London, Quantum Fund invested all the funds in its hands as soon as the market opened, including the 30 billion invested by Sean, and temporarily borrowed 60 billion from Sean Bank. one.

Borrowing is different from Xiao En's investment. It only needs to pay the interest on lending, which is a normal financial operation, and you can change to any bank.

With a short order of US$100 billion, the British pound has fallen below the lower limit of the ERM range in an instant!

The Bank of England immediately took over the two orders and invested 1 billion U.S. dollars within one minute. It originally thought that it could be pulled back to the warning line of 12, but it didn't work.

08:30 to 08:40.

The Bank of England pumped in another $8 million, but the pound remained unchanged.

In just 10 minutes, 20 billion US dollars evaporated, and Lamont was already frightened, and the strong wind was not enough to describe the speed of the loss.

Even a tornado is not capable of blowing away 10 tons of dollars in 20 minutes!

09:00 pm.

Lamont hurriedly called Prime Minister Major, "Intervention failed, we must raise interest rates to protect the pound, or we will be kicked out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism!".

After a while of silence, Major refused to raise interest rates, and the reason was very good. The UK was already in recession, and the domestic pressure exerted tremendous pressure on him.

10:30 pm.

The hungry wolves of Wall Street continued to step up their offensive, and Lamont could not get support from Major, so he could only continue to invest in dollars to take over.

Rivers of blood!

Lamont called Major again, with a fierce tone, "Either raise interest rates or give up the pound, you choose!"

Major: "..."

who do you think You Are?

Do you think I will compromise?

You are wrong!

Yes I will……

At 11:30, Major held a press conference and announced an interest rate hike of 200BP, from 10% to 12%.

What is the concept of raising interest rates by 2% at a time? After 2008, the adjustment range of interest rate hikes and cuts by central banks of various countries is 0.25% each time.

What is the reaction of the pound to such a large interest rate hike?

Answer: Nothing happens!

Sterling continued to fall.

Lamont has gone crazy, the outside newspapers and media are all criticizing him, laughing at him, and attacking him.

As long as Lamont wants some face, he should die!

But he doesn't want to.

At 12:00, in addition to crazily cursing the Germans and the hungry wolves of Wall Street, his solution is to pull Major to raise the interest rate by 3%, raising the interest rate to 15%.

The boss is an idiot, most of the time it's not because the people below are jealous, but the boss is really an idiot!

How will the pound react this time?

Still nothing happens!

The whole world, including the British, knows that the Bank of England should cut interest rates and devalue the pound. This is the only way to save the UK.

But the British Prime Minister just wants to raise interest rates and let the pound appreciate.

Human beings can't even imagine how Major and his prime minister's team poured so much seawater into their brains.

Calling them idiots is a compliment to them!

The market isn't what you want it to be, except...they don't either.

The market expects that the pound can only depreciate, so no matter how you raise interest rates or how many pounds you buy, it will not be able to change this situation.

At 5:00 p.m., Major called an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, Minister of the Exchequer Lamont, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hurd, Chairman of the Trade Bureau Heseltine, Secretary of the Interior Clark, all unanimously decided to withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

It's as if they quit voluntarily instead of being kicked out.

Of course, as long as they think so, no one else can do anything about it.

At 19:30, Lamont held a press conference, announcing that the UK would withdraw from the ERM and implement a floating exchange rate system.

Sterling is down 15% against the Deutsche mark and 25% against the dollar.

Soros...

Sean, win! !

Chapter 538: Soros Car Accident

What is the Great Empire!

There are four "mosts" in the Daying Empire.

Be the most prepared!

The loudest slogan!

The highest international status!

The fastest on the street!

The Big Bang Empire said the harshest words and received the most vicious beatings!

They prepared more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, but they didn't last for three days. The Italians were ashamed to laugh at them!

Bah, disgusting!

The majestic empire on which the sun never sets, the pound was defeated.

This is not the most disgusting thing, what is really disgusting is that it was not the US government that defeated them, but a mad dog on Wall Street!

Lamont was nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and the incompetence of Major's government was fully exposed.

The whole world is laughing at the British, and Soros has been pushed to the altar, crushing the British men!

Of course, Lamont will not take the blame and resign, and Major will not.

In the foreign speech of the British government, the reason why the pound was defeated this time was the result of the manipulation behind the scenes by the United States.

Yes, it's not because the finance minister and prime minister are incompetent, nor is it because the British economy has encountered problems. Britain is innocent and the United States is cruel!

If the responsibility lies with the British government, wouldn't it appear that the British are idiots? Wouldn't it appear that the Conservative Party is all idiots for electing such a thing? Wouldn't it appear that the British are very depraved and that they can let such a leader? People ascended to the throne of prime minister.

Therefore, Lamont will not resign, but wait until the limelight passes.

Major will not resign either, because no one wants to take over this mess now, that would be making a joke of their own political life.

However, this does not delay hating Soros.

Sean did not forget the previous promise, he said to help Soros clean up, then he will definitely do it!

News Corp., the Sun, The Times, the Daily Mail, Sky Radio...

The new TV network formed by Sean's acquisition of four TV stations in the UK, the Voice of Europe TV...

Including the UK and other European national TV stations.

European countries have suffered financial shocks, and the collapse of the pound sterling has been a rare event in decades. Every media is paying attention, reporting, and analyzing it.

This is really traffic!

From the financial policies of various countries to financial loopholes, from the crisis facing the economy to solutions, from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism itself to the European Community Union...

It's just that Sean and News Corp. have taken a different approach. After analyzing the above things, they changed the direction of analysis. Does the financial disaster bring only negative effects? Does it have any positive effects?

Then there is Sean’s set. Soros entertained the loopholes in the European exchange rate mechanism, told the direction that European countries should improve with facts, and promoted the further improvement of the system, which can greatly speed up the emergence of the European Community and the European unified currency. ...
