As a matter of fact, Jon had never really paid much attention to his company.
His main task was, of course, to learn magic. In any case, for a person in the Mysterious World, his own strength was always the most important. Everything else was relatively secondary. This world was so big, and there were so many things to explore. He certainly couldn't just focus on profit.
His original intention of founding the company was to build a network for himself to collect all kinds of rare resources and materials in the world. However, the network required money, so he needed a strong company. Just like the family of the former head of the Ministry of Magic, the Muggle World was a gold mine that hadn't been developed much in the Wizard World. The role of this society was not only to provide fresh blood to the Wizard World, but also to provide more things to the Wizard World that were not useful to the Muggle World, but were very precious to the Wizard World.
That was why he put so much effort into his company.
The Smith Family would definitely have many Wizard World in the future. Although Jon had no intention of falling in love with a woman, Helga was right about one thing. He needed to be responsible for the future of this family, not just the future of the Magical World. What if his descendants, or his sister Blair's descendants, or some of his future siblings' descendants, had a dud who didn't know magic?
Was he going to let the tragedy of his great-grandfather repeat itself in his descendants?
This was definitely impossible, and Helga wouldn't agree.
Helga now regretted that she didn't leave any protective measures for Hufflepuff's descendants. She also warned her children to keep a low profile. If she didn't do so, the bloodline of her descendants might not wither and degenerate. This made her very regretful, so she did her best to cultivate Jon's talent in magic. As the only person in the Hufflepuff Family who had the ability to revive the family, Jon's burden was heavy.
…
"Boss? Boss? "
Secretary Kim's call pulled Jon back from his daze. He thought his report was too boring, so he was a little nervous.
To put it bluntly, it was Anthony who gave him too much pressure, so he couldn't help but demonize Jon, the big boss.
"Oh! It's okay. I'm listening. You can continue. "
Secretary Jin nodded obediently. He glanced at the notes he had prepared and continued to report.
"Judging from the situation after we returned to the UK, the UK economy is now in a period of decline. According to the conclusion of our market analysts, the UK government wants to stimulate exports by devaluing the pound and restore its market activity. But the problem now is that the UK financial system is limited by the European exchange rate system, and it must try its best to maintain the pound against the mark.
In fact, we are not the only ones who have discovered this. The high interest rate policy promulgated by the British government has been questioned by many financial experts, and domestic business leaders are also strongly demanding that interest rates be lowered.
However, not long ago, the current Prime Minister John Major and the Chancellor of the Exchequer repeatedly reiterated in various public occasions that they would adhere to the existing policy. They said that the UK has the ability to keep the pound in the European exchange rate system, but our analysts think this is just a bluff. The UK can't keep its position in the European exchange rate system. Based on our investigation of the Star Fund and international hot money, they also hold this view. "
Jon nodded. This kind of thing was very normal at this stage. According to his understanding of this major event in his "previous life", during this summer vacation, the UK government would definitely release a series of bad moves to restore its currency status.
"What's the current exchange rate?"
He asked. He was not very clear about the specific timing, so he could only infer it through the analysis of his subordinates and his own memory.
"Since last month, the exchange rate between the UK pound and the Deutschmark has been falling continuously. At first, it fell from 2.95 to 2.85, and then from 2.85 to 2.79. As of noon today, the exchange rate has fallen to 2.79, which is very close to the 2.778 limit. However, according to the gossip we have received, in order to prevent this from happening, the government will order the Bank of England to buy 3.3 billion pounds to intervene in the market in the near future. However, our analysts think that the government's intervention may not necessarily lead to better expectations, and it is likely to lead to worse results."
Worse results were inevitable. Since the power of capital had begun to roll in, there was no reason that simple measures could stop it. However, Chown was also a member of the capital, and he had made up his mind to take advantage of this wave to suck a big mouthful of blood out of the British financial market. Therefore, he had no intention of warning the market of any risks.
"Then let's continue with the previous plan. I believe in Mr. George Soros's economic sense, and following him will definitely not be wrong. However, as long as it's within the scope of what we can afford, I think we can do a little more."
"What you mean is …"
Secretary Kim clearly understood what Jon meant. He also had a little bit of the company's shares, and it was this little bit of shares that Lun Na brought back from the East last time. After legal tax avoidance, it directly brought him nearly one million US dollars in income, and this was only a little bit of his share. It was said that Anthony and Lun Na earned even more, and this was the reason why he was more determined to follow Jon. After all, this person was really amazing. A.O., a new company that was founded less than two years ago, had already achieved such a scale. Then, after a little more time, the development of this company was almost imaginable. If it were not for the fact that his boss was a pure Englishman, Secretary Kim would have suspected that his boss was the successor of A.O. Smith Group.
"It's just that in that case, we may have to transfer resources from the head office."
"Then transfer. I just left the company in the Americas because the American market is more convenient. If it is reasonable in the end, I think we should transfer the head office back. We have to manage this side well, and the amount of investment is reasonable."
Secretary Kim naturally turned around to contact the Americans after receiving his approval, but before he left, he was stopped by Jon.
"By the way, ask Lun Na to come and see me."
