Chapter 1028 The Royal Family's Stand Is Firm
Looking back to the second floor of the White Club, the red leather sofa set is extremely coquettish, completely inconsistent with the low-key style of the White Club, but it is particularly in line with the absurd tone. Generally speaking, the decoration on the second floor is still very exciting. It plays a role in the gambling of members.
Yang Cheng's gamble with Joe Lewis and Coventry ended not long after it started.
To be precise, about 8 minutes after the start of the timer, the wallet was found by a homeless man. He picked it up and opened it without any hesitation. There was a wad of brand new banknotes in it. The homeless man did not hesitate and did not look back. rushed out, and soon disappeared.
Then there was the present scene, Yang Cheng was talking about two checks of 10,000 pounds each from Barclays Bank with his fingers, showing a triumphant smile, "I will treat you another day, don't refuse."
Coventry said helplessly, "Oh, my God, I'm really disappointed. I didn't expect our national quality to be so low."
Joe Lewis complained angrily, "Don't you still expect homeless people to talk about quality? Then they would have starved to death!"
Damn, it's only 8 minutes away, as long as I persist for another 8 minutes, the victory will be mine. "
Yang Cheng spread his hands, "Joe, I can only say that you would have won without my participation. I really want to say sorry, but this is a game."
Joe Lewis waved his hand, "Forget it, it's only £10,000."
"Actually, you don't have to be surprised. The same gamble will have the same effect in any country. It has nothing to do with quality. This is the greedy nature of people. Unless you throw your wallet into an area full of millionaires, maybe they I will dismiss it." Yang Cheng made a declaration in the attitude of a winner.
The gambling game ended here, and the three of them quickly talked about foreign exchange.
"Joe, what on earth are you thinking? Are you really going to attack the British pound with all your strength?" Coventry asked with concern, obviously he was interested in Joe Lewis' business. Recognize money but not face.
"It's not that I want to snipe, but to watch the pound depreciate. There are a lot of money on the ground. Can I not pick it up?"
Yang Cheng chuckled, and there was a sentence he was embarrassed to say, "What's the difference between this and the homeless man who just picked up the wallet? Of course, the behavior looks higher, but the essence is the same."
Of course, what you think in your heart and what you say are completely different things, "Joe, don't you think the matter of Brexit is settled?"
In fact, Yang Cheng knows the answer, but I still want to find out the old guy's bottom line if he asks this question. Is he really confident or just crazy? If it's the former, Yang Cheng may think more about it, because even without Joe Lewis Suggestion, next year he will follow Wall Street's huge hot money to make some money;
On the contrary, he felt that there was no need to continue this dialogue. Joe Lewis was not a good leader.
Joe Lewis adjusted his sitting posture, showing a trace of fatigue on his face. After all, he is almost 80 years old, and his physical function has declined severely. Even if he sits for a long time, he will feel tired.
"Leaving aside whether Britain will leave the European Union or not, in fact, for nearly a century, the pound has been on a downward ladder against the dollar, and the steps are getting bigger and bigger."
Yang Cheng agrees with this point. As one of the oldest currencies in the world, during the First World War, 1 British pound could be exchanged for nearly 5 US dollars.
But now? It has been hovering around the line of 1.5 US dollars, but it has never broken through this bottom line. But next year's big event will happen, and this bottom line will be difficult to hold. All this is caused by the weak British economy and its own weak commodity competitiveness. .
Knowing what Joe Lewis probably wanted to say, Yang Cheng felt that there was no need to listen. He wanted to hear something nutritious, so he interrupted, "Joe, you and I both know that there is no problem with your starting point for attacking the pound. , not only you, including me, including Wall Street, everyone is looking down on the pound, but if you want to be the sniper who fires the first shot, you need to show something substantial, such as you are sure that Britain will leave the European Union direct evidence."
After finishing these words, he turned his attention to Coventry. This nobleman who can play arms in the UK might receive some secret news, such as the attitude of the royal family.
It's a pity, I don't know if he really has no stock or if he has a strict tone and doesn't want to say, he just smiled and said nothing, which made Yang Cheng quite depressed.
On the contrary, Joe Lewis was probably stimulated, and he really broke out some useful information, "I had dinner with the Prime Minister's family last month. During the dinner, he was pessimistic about Britain leaving the EU, but he was powerless to stop it. The rhetoric is more intense, revealing that resignation is not ruled out to get out of the vortex, at least to clean himself up.
I guess, he should have encountered setbacks with the royal family, which caused him to have such a negative attitude. "
Yang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, this is strong evidence that Kalunzi in his previous life really did this.
As for the attitude of the royal family, Yang Cheng has always felt that they are very firm Brexiteers, no matter how vague William's position is, the queen will never consider the interests of all British people, but the interests of their British royal family.
Because in Her Majesty’s opinion, staying in the EU can only weaken the influence of the British royal family, and the ultimate goal of the European Union is unification. At that time, whether the British royal family can still exist is a problem, or it will be completely reduced to a soy sauce mascot. .
You must know that although the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, the King of the United Kingdom is still nominally the hereditary head of state, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United Kingdom, and the hereditary leader of the Anglican Church, possessing lofty glory and status.
In terms of legal status, the British monarch can appoint and remove the prime minister, ministers, senior judges, and governors of various territories. He has the power to convene, stop and dissolve parliament, approve and publish laws, command the army, and declare war. The influence is far more than that, just look at William's ability to easily mobilize MI6 and the army, and you can understand why Her Majesty the Queen is on the Brexit side.
If the UK stays in the European Union and eventually forms a unity with the European continent, then the current British constitutional monarchy will not only cease to exist, but the British royal family will lose its nominal royal status and power.
Of course, whether the idea of the European Union can be realized is another matter. At least in the short term, there is basically no hope. The existence of the enemies of Germany and France is the biggest obstacle to European unification, not to mention the feuds in other countries.
But in any case, Joe Lewis decided to snipe the pound for good enough reasons!
