British 1986

"Then since they have done so much, how can they still lack funds?"

This confused Allen a little bit.

It's like someone bragging to you, saying that he drives several listed companies, always rides a Mercedes-Benz S when going out, and even a Mercedes-Benz E feels downgraded.

Tell you how rich he is, and then turn around, this person will ask you to borrow thousands of dollars, and then promise you benefits. After he gets over this critical moment, he will show off and fly with you.

This sounds a bit unreliable.

"Master, they are not short of small funds, but they are short of big money. I listen to that Soros. He should know that you have money."

"Um?"

Originally, this sentence was nothing, but Allen suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something.

After looking at Old Karl with a frown for a long time, Allen finally came to his senses.

"How much money does he want to invest with me?"

"One billion dollars!"

Old Karl blinked and looked at Allen.

"???"

Old Karl definitely didn't know about Allen's affairs in Xiangjiang, so he wouldn't be surprised by this amount, but this amount completely made Allen feel that something was wrong.

Allen is rich, and this is no secret in the UK. At the earliest, Sony invested several hundred million pounds in his film and television company. Since then, it has been reported by outside media.

Although the money these days is only a few hundred million pounds, its purchasing power is strong!

These people make money that most people will never make in a lifetime, or even dozens of lifetimes.

To ordinary people, Allen is of course regarded as a traditional aristocratic son who is young, rich and has a noble status.

but.

Why did Soros choose to join his team and accurately stated the amount of one billion US dollars?

If nothing else, if Allen honestly supports Patten, he will definitely get the one billion U.S. dollars. But the strange thing is that now, he is about to get ten billion U.S. dollars in theory. Billions of dollars in "favor fees", in the blink of an eye, someone in the distant United States is eyeing the money in his hands?

How did Soros know?

Is it a dog? Is your nose so sharp?

There are only three people in total who know that Allen can get a billion dollars, including Allen himself.

Allen himself, Patten, Sir Hodder.

Just the three of them.

But now the news has been leaked.

Thinking of this, Allen's eyes narrowed slightly. Afraid of not asking carefully, he asked Old Carl how many days ago it was when he attended the banquet?

After getting the exact time from Old Carl.

You can compare this before and after.

Allen sneered. These people who play politics have such dark hearts.

In other words, whether it is Patten or Hodder, one of them or both of them is scheming against themselves. In their opinion, Allen is very greedy.

To ask Allen to help them stand up, they first paid a huge price, and then...

Then take advantage of the premise that Allen is very greedy, inform Soros, or the people behind Soros, and tell them that Allen is about to receive one billion US dollars in benefits.

Then, Allen could already think that if he really behaved like the character he established in Xiangjiang, very greedy and courageous, coupled with the glorious record left by the old earl in the British financial world, Like father, like son, then Allen will definitely be attracted by the vast "money scene" they describe. Is he greedy?

In the end, he will be seduced by them, join their operation with Allen's one billion dollars that he has not warmed up, and then be slaughtered like a pig.

After giving himself a benefit, he also gave himself a "hundred million" lesson. This kind of old and cunning behavior made Allen very disgusted.

This was also the reason why he tried to minimize contact and talk with people like Patten and Wei Dewei while he was in Xiangjiang. These people had too many bad minds and were too dirty. If you didn't pay attention, you would fall into their trap.

Not to mention that everyone was going to get pounds, how could they be sure whether Allen would fall into the trap.

Capital.

There is no right or wrong, what is beneficial is right!

As for the hot money groups behind Soros, how many British-funded groups are hidden in them? Alan knows that they are indispensable without even thinking about it. These people make money without borders. As for whether their behavior will cause trouble for Great Britain.

Who cares?

Even if Great Britain is really in trouble, the unlucky ones are the common people and the middle class at the bottom. What's the point of locking up the upper class?

Make money. Don’t shiver.

"snort!"

Allen snorted coldly and secretly made a mental note of this matter, as well as the two old scumbags Patten and Hodder.

These two old guys are far away in Xiangjiang now, and Allen has to keep a low profile recently, so it is not appropriate to cause trouble to them, but sooner or later they will have to return to the British mainland, and when the time comes.

Haha, let’s all compete again then.

"I'm not interested in their plan, but"

Allen frowned again. This is the disadvantage of not knowing much about finance. Because he doesn't understand, even if he wants to cause trouble, he doesn't know how to start!

This is a bit painful.

Allen is not trying to cause trouble for Soros.

Rather, I am preparing to see if I can find any benefits in the process.

Even if they are hostile to him or plan to plot against him, this is human nature. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. It is normal for a person to be worried about others when he has made it clear that he has money. Allen is mainly angry with Patten and Hodder. Old man boarding.

"Tell me, even if they, a small hot money group, can operate in the mark market, how much impact will they have with their capital size? As for their operation of the pound, this will give us, or rather What impact will it have on me?"

Fortunately, there is still Matthias. Although Allen does not expect him to help him navigate the financial market, at the very least, with the information obtained in advance, he can analyze the general trend for himself, right?

"Master, this cannot be simply looked at based on the size of the funds alone. It doesn't matter how much money they have on hand, they are like... tut."

Matthias smacked his lips and tried to explain to Alan using the simple, understandable words he could imagine.

"Master, let me give you an example, such as a calm lake."

Matthias picked up a signature pen from the table and made a gesture as if he was about to throw it away. He gestured and explained: "If I hold this pen, it will be equivalent to the funds of their hot money group, and the lake will be equivalent to In the entire mark market, the sizes of the two sides seem to be unequal, but what if I throw the pen in my hand into the lake?"

"Boom!"

Matthias gently put the pen back on the table, still saying the sound, which was equivalent to throwing the pen into the lake.

"The entire lake will become unstable because of the ripples caused by this thrown pen. And these ripples will center here and swing farther and farther around, attracting the attention of more hot money groups. They just The first time, when the time comes, they will be influenced by them and follow them, and the various hot money groups hidden in the dark will be the focus!"

"As for the pound in the future, from my personal point of view, we are not very optimistic. If it is really because of their impact, we may have some troubles by then."

"."

Allen scratched his chin, and finally understood what Matthias meant. In his understanding, the job Soros was doing now was equivalent to being a troublemaker in the financial world.

As long as they go up first, there will be a group of big guys following them, it's that simple.

"Then when will they finish the mark market and turn around to make pounds? What impact will it have on me? It won't be like the stock market crash or the economic crisis, right?"

Allen really can't complain about the current economic environment.

In his previous life, someone said that a truly strong person should not complain about the environment, but should learn to face difficulties. Opportunities exist no matter what the environment is. It just depends on whether you can seize it.

In this kind of poisonous chicken soup scoring area, Allen really wanted to go back and kick the person who said this kind of thing when he thought about it.

The entire Chinese market is now in a state of barbaric growth in the early stages of development.

To put it bluntly, this thing can be understood as a novice village.

In Novice Village, no matter how poorly you do, you will definitely have a chance, but it is different abroad.

But Daying is not a novice village!

How many years has it been developing here?

I really can’t afford various economic crises. The financial crisis of 1987 has not yet recovered. If this happens again.

Allen couldn't figure out what to do.

"Master, our pound is now pegged to the mark. If there is an attack there, we will be unlucky together. If the situation develops according to their plan, we are about to face a war in a foreseeable short time. An economic crisis that is no less influential than the last economic crisis will depreciate the pound, assets will shrink, a large number of factories will close down, and workers will lose their jobs. As for time."

Mattia and Old Karl looked at each other.

That Soros just told Old Carl their general plan in general, and there was no need to keep these things secret, but as for the specific implementation time of each step, they didn't say anything, so.

Based on the information he knew, Matthias conservatively speculated and gave a very broad time range.

"I speculate that the impact of this incident will explode before the end of this year, or even before December."

"oh?"

Allen took a deep breath, what the fuck

Huh?

Alan suddenly realized that the pound was going to depreciate. This thing sounded scary, but he didn't have many pounds on hand now.

The most he has on hand now is US dollars!

Allen has been short of funds recently. How can he still have so much pound cash? As for the depreciation of fixed assets.

That thing will depreciate if it depreciates. As long as the thing is still there, such as a building or a warehouse, before the crisis, the building was worth 10,000 pounds. After the crisis, the building was worth only 8,000 pounds.

But this building is still this building. As long as the building doesn't disappear and Allen doesn't sell these fixed assets, then he still has to worry about the devaluation?

On the contrary...if these all depreciate, then for the French restaurant chain he plans to open in the near future, if he wastes time and waits for the crisis to pass before acquiring land or stores, will he save money?

This coming and going seems to be doing no harm to myself.

Those who work in the real industry are happy and have strong ability to withstand shocks.

Now there is one thing that Allen doesn't understand, that is, will the dollars in his hand also depreciate?

"Will the dollar depreciate along with the pound then?"

Allen blinked and asked Mattia with a curious look on his face.

"."

Although this question was very stupid, the person who asked this question was not simple. Matthias could only twitch the corner of his mouth slightly and explained bravely: "Master, if in their operation this time, Mark and Pound are Meat, the dollar is the knife. It is normal for the knife to have some wear and tear when cutting meat, but in the process, the knife will definitely not be damaged. They are cutting meat, not to die together, so even if the dollar has Fluctuations, but certainly not big ones.”

"Um"

Allen's frown finally relaxed.

The news brought back by Old Carl this time is quite useful. Without Old Carl's interference, Allen would have been preparing to expand his long-planned French restaurant in the past few days.

But with the news brought by Old Karl, Allen felt that the plan could be postponed a little, and wait until the pound depreciated, and then he would follow behind to make a small harvest, follow the big boss, and take advantage.

After all, he went to Xiangjiang once, and it was not easy to deceive him. Now that he has money, he should save it if he can!

Anyway, it’s not far behind these few months.

After spending another two days adjusting at home, Allen had a headache these two days when he looked at the mountains of documents that needed to be signed by him in the study for the past month. He simply put them away and did nothing. He ate when he woke up and finished eating. Go to sleep when you are tired.

Waiting until Hu Te couldn't take it anymore, he tactfully reminded his young master that some documents had been backlogged for too long and it was time to deal with them. After all, without Allen's signature, the people who were going to work later would not dare to do it. All we can do is wait.

Holding Xiao Huang in his arms, Allen pinched the roots of its wings with both hands and shook them as he walked.

Someone used to call the snowy owl a Scottish free-range chicken. When Allen saw Xiao Huang for the first time, he just thought that this little guy was dirty and had yellow fur. It was quite funny. How could he be associated with a free-range chicken?

But after raising Xiao Huang for so many years, this guy has completely established himself as a Scottish free-range chicken.

Delicious and lazy to make!

At home, Xiao Huang is too lazy to move, let alone flying. He is in the same state as Allen was in the past two days. He lies in his nest all day long, eating and sleeping. Occasionally when he gets tired from sleeping, he comes out. Take a walk around the castle, peck the servants and show off your skills, and then go back to sleep.

Now let Xiao Huang fly again. Allen estimates that with the size of his body, he will be unable to fly. This is the only way to let Xiao Huang experience the memory of previous flights and arouse his shame.

But when they got to the study room, Allen put down Xiao Huang and took a look. He was so tired that he didn't have the mentality of knowing his shame before being brave. When he put it on the desk, Xiao Huang looked like a puppy. He leaned over there, his two big yellow eyes staring at Allen.

"Tsk, what's going on? Are you in heat?"

Allen rubbed Xiao Huang's big head and felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Huang's current state. It didn't seem to be getting older. Could it be that it missed its female snowy owl?

PS: Hey, just one chapter today. I have to get up early tomorrow morning and call the matchmaker. As a middle-aged empty-nester, it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival and I’m still worried about finding a wife.
