Chapter 158 Robbers become heroes

Soon, everyone present determined the layoff of Robin Leigh Pemberton, and the central bank governor was under great pressure and was unwell to illness before he even arrived.

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

Objectively speaking, he didn't think that who would do better in Pemberton's position, and, at that time, he had considered whether to withdraw from the exchange rate mechanism countless times, and had personally solicited Major's opinions at the Admiralty Building.

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

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

"The new President of the Bank of England, do you have any suggestions for the candidates."

Looking at the House of Representatives who were present with ulterior motives, Major threw out a huge pie. The new Bank of England president was enough to make these bastards fight for a while. If it doesn't work... Thinking, Major glanced at Lamont.

As Major expected, as soon as the heir to the position of President of the Bank of England was thrown out, the eyes of the MPs and ministers sitting there were just as little as the hyenas saw rotten meat.

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

"His Excellency David, don't you think this proposal is ridiculous? When international speculators attacked the pound, our Mr. George still had time to brag to reporters, God, he is the second-in-commander of the Bank of England, and at that time he didn't work in the office. Do you think he is really suitable?"

"Chawen. Are you deliberately looking for trouble? In that case, of course, he needs to stabilize market sentiment and calm the public's fear. Is it wrong to talk to reporters?"

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

The words of the Minister of Industry and Trade made the two ministers quarreling shut their mouths. This was the root cause of the problems that everyone unanimously agreed to target the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank. If they refute it, wouldn’t it be like slapping Major in the face?

"I think Mr. Pound Brooke is more suitable for this position than Mr. George. He had expected what he would today before it happened. Is there any more evidence of his ability in economics and finances than that?"

"But he was just a supervisor before, which didn't meet the requirements."

"So what. It's obvious that Mr. Brooke is capable enough to be the position of President of the Bank of England. And the people believe him. I think you all know what he is saying about him now."

"I object. Although Mr. Brooke is very capable, the position of the Governor of the Central Bank is not an academic research analysis. I have a great doubt whether he can hold such an important position."

“…”

Seeing a group of MPs and ministers blushing for the bait they threw for, Major was in a very relaxed and happy mood.

At least, these guys are no longer at ease to hold the responsibility to the end. It would be great if the position of President of the Bank of England could be exchanged for some balance.

"Mr. Lamont. What advice do you have?"

Lamont?

Who is Lamont?

The House members and ministers looked at Norman Lamont, who was regarded as air. It was not until this time that they remembered that there was no one more suitable person for speaking than Lamont as the position of governor of the central bank.

Who to choose?

Being stared at by pairs of eyes, Lamont thought of the previous conversation with Shen Jiannan, and couldn't help but feel a faint sarcasm in his heart. All the plans and premeditations of these idiots had long been calculated, so they were still arguing here.

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

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

“…”

God!

I heard it right.

A group of people stared at Lamont as if they were stupid. In British politics, they admitted that their mistakes were never before. Even if anyone knew that they had made a mistake, they would definitely endure it to the end.

Be frank and lenient?

no.

Admitting one's mistake will only result in one, that is, resigning.

But if you don't admit it, you may continue to retain your position.

But now, Lamont actually admitted that he made serious mistakes in the exchange rate mechanism.

This guy is crazy!

Even John Major was surprised by Lamont's reaction, although he had considered to let him resign voluntarily to endure the public's anger and also looked for a new Chancellor of the Exchequer.

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

With a grateful look at Norman Lamont, John Major attracted everyone's attention with a small move.

"I also agree with His Excellency Lamont's proposal, and no one knows better than him who can assume the position of Governor of the Central Bank. And Mr. Pound Brooke's ability is obvious to all. He played an important role in our negotiations with Capital One. If he had not raised any questions, I think we might have paid a greater price."

“……”

9.21st.

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

The new President of the Bank of England will be Mr. Pound Brooke, Special Adviser to the Ministry of Finance.

"His Excellency Lamont, the Treasury appoints the new Bank of England, is it a means for you to shirk responsibility."

"His Excellency Lamont. There are rumors that the Ministry of Finance appoints a new central bank president because it is some people to evade responsibility. What do you think about this?"

“……”

It has to be said that some British media journalists are indeed brave enough. As the news spreads on the Bank of England, Norman Lamont was directly blocked at the door of the Chancellor's mansion and was forced to undergo various annoying interrogations.

If it were normal, Lamont would have roared at these damn reporters, but now, he suddenly felt a sense of relaxation that he had never felt before.

"I admit that I made a serious mistake in that matter not long ago, and thus caused great losses to the Bank of England."

"But I do not accept some slander and slander. I am willing to take all responsibility and be responsible for it. Soon I will submit my resignation to Prime Minister Mr. Major."

“…”

The reporters were stunned.

Is this still Norman Lamont?

Will he admit that he made a mistake?

This politician is fake.

Lamont didn't care about this at all, and he had a better job waiting for him anyway.

"As for the appointment of Mr. Pound Brook as president of the Bank of England, it is because of his outstanding abilities and is well known. Before that, Mr. Brook pointed out the mistakes made by the Central Bank and the Treasury, but we did not take them seriously."

"It turns out that he has a very unique perspective in economics and finances. I can't think of a better candidate for the Bank of England than him."

“……”

.........

"Because of the stupidity of our government, Shen snatched more than four billion dollars from the Bank of England, which only proves that he is more visionary than the idiots in the cabinet."

"Shen. He is like a Robin Hood, beating those idiots who hold power but have no choice but to eat."

"In objective fact, our government was cheating us at the last moment, but Shen kept telling us that the pound was about to depreciate. I don't want to say that the asshole Lamont made me lose at least 30,000 pounds."

"God, he is a God-like being. I will take him as the goal of chasing this life."

"I don't think there is anything wrong with this. As Mr. Kellis said, if we get sick, we should be treated and find the cause of the disease, rather than choosing physical immunity. If the Treasury could have accepted Mr. Pound Brooke's proposal, it would not have turned into a crisis at all."

"It was him who made us realize our mistakes, and we should thank him."

“…”

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

At that time, mainstream media and public opinion were criticizing the viciousness of international speculators' orders, but now, under a gust of unhealthy wind, the wind has deviated from its trajectory.

Some people think that since the market is open, no matter how much money Shen Jiannan earns from the Bank of England, it is his ability; some people think that Shen Jiannan is right, the problem is fundamentally due to the stupidity of the cabinet government. Facts have proved that he has indeed helped the UK. During the week when the pound was depreciated, orders from export processing companies were coming from all over the world like snowflakes, and many people who lost their jobs were able to return to their posts.

Some people also said that Shen Jiannan publicly expressed his view on Shen Jiannan as an idol, and even hoped that he could publish an autobiography.

Of course, some people support them and some people oppose them.

The criticism of the British official media has not weakened. Is Shen Jiannan's profit not the losses of the UK?

Did he not make British taxpayers, as well as every British man, woman, and child pay an additional fifty pounds?

But the British official media's efforts to make Shen Jiannan feel guilty about his gains did not succeed, and he even called Black Wednesday the British media a bright day.

“I believe there must be negative effects, … but this will not be considered by me. If I retreat from moral conscience, I am not a successful speculator.”

“I wouldn’t regret profiting from the depreciation of the pound. As it happened, depreciation of the pound proved to be beneficial.”

“I admit it was a loss from the UK. In this case, it is true, because I know who the other party is. In the transaction, some people make a profit, some people lose.

But normally, you don’t know who the other party is, you don’t know whether he is losing or making a profit. It’s obvious that the other party is the Bank of England. I have no guilt.

I think you should know that even if I don’t trade, others will do it.

And the fact that most of the profits I make will be invested again in the UK, I think that when other traders make profits, they will only leave with these profits."
