Rebirth of England.

Chapter 752 Seeking a Job
Prior to this, Barron had not discussed the matter with Brown because he still insisted on seeking re-election.

However, Brown has a close relationship with Barron after all. Although he supports Cameron more in this election, Barron will certainly not give up his support for Brown as a means of balancing the other party.

“The Chairman of the IMF?”

After hearing Barron's words, Brown said doubtfully:

"But Kahn still has two years left in his term..."

However, from Brown's expression, it can be seen that the position of Chairman of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is still attractive to Brown.

After all, to some extent, this position is considered to be highly powerful, and given Brown's experience as the British Chancellor of the Exchequer for many years, he is very suitable to be the Chairman of the International Monetary Fund.

"I think you are very suitable for this position. As for Mr. Kahn's term... before that, you can first seek a transitional position in the EU or the UN. I believe that in the competition for the IMF position, you will have a great chance of winning..."

There is actually another reason for making this suggestion, which Barron will not tell Brown directly.

That is, the Frenchman Strauss-Kahn, who is now the chairman of the International Monetary Fund, actually has only one year left in his term...

The term of office of the chairman of the International Monetary Fund is usually five years, and Strauss-Kahn took office in November 5, so normally his term would end in November 2007...

But if things don't change, then in May next year, a year from now, Strauss-Kahn will be accused of sexually assaulting a hotel waitress in New York and will be forced to resign as chairman of the IMF.

By that time, with Brown's resume and Barron's operation, there is still a very high probability that he will be able to take over the position of Chairman of the International Monetary Fund.

In fact, in Barron's previous life, there were many contradictions in the sexual assault incident involving Kahn, and there have always been conspiracy theories that he was framed.

After all, as a Frenchman, during his tenure as chairman of the IMF, Kahn strongly supported the euro, resisted the US dollar, and advocated reforms to the IMF to reduce the power of the United States.

It is no exaggeration to say that his actions have become a "thorn in the side" of America. Therefore, judging from America's past methods, it is not impossible for him to do so.

In addition, France did not support Kahn in this incident.

The reason is that when he was working at the International Monetary Fund, Strauss-Kahn gained great reputation in France. France was about to hold a general election at that time. After completing his term at the International Monetary Fund, Strauss-Kahn would most likely return to France to run for election and become Sarkozy's biggest competitor.

Therefore, if he could take this opportunity to destroy Kahn's future, Old Sa would be very happy to see it...

When Brown competes for the presidency of the International Monetary Fund, his advantage is that, on the one hand, he is British and can gain some support in Europe; on the other hand, Brown has always opposed Britain's joining the euro zone, and in terms of the attitude towards the euro and the dollar, the United States is more likely to support Brown...

Of course, before that, because the Conservative Party has won the general election, Brown will no longer be able to hold a relevant position in the UK. Therefore, during this period, it is not very difficult to seek a transitional position for him in the EU or UN.

For these things, they only need to wait for a year until the Strauss-Kahn incident happens, and then help Brown get the position of chairman of the International Monetary Fund. There is no need to rush to explain it to him so clearly now.

Obviously, Brown was still very interested in Barron's proposal, and he said he needed to go back and think about it.

Even so, judging from his performance, Barron knew that this matter was almost certain.

……

"In terms of the acquisition of Piraeus Port, the team composed of Peninsula Oriental Group and COSCO Group has begun contacting the Greek side and is preparing to acquire the shares of all shareholders including the Piraeus Port Authority..."

According to the agreement reached between Greece, the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the finance ministers of France, Germany and other countries, the prerequisite for them to obtain assistance is that they need to significantly reduce their fiscal spending. In addition, according to the requirements of Greece's creditors at this time, they also need to raise corresponding funds by selling some state-owned assets to ensure debt repayment.

Among them, the Port of Piraeus became one of the assets to be sold by the Greek government. It was also at this time that Peninsula Oriental Group and China COSCO Group jointly negotiated and made an offer for the shares of this port.

In addition to the joint bid by COSCO and Peninsula Eastern, other bidders participating in the bidding for Piraeus Port include Denmark's APM Terminals and the Philippines' International Container Terminal Services. However, their advantages are still very obvious.

After all, before this, COSCO Group had already obtained the operating rights of Piraeus Port. Under this premise, neither Maersk nor ICTS of the Philippines would be very enthusiastic about bidding.

"In addition to this negotiation, we have also completed the withdrawal of our short position in Greece, but we still have a large number of short positions in other European countries."

Daisy smiled and said:

"Through this training, Rami has gained more and more experience in this type of financial investment. The Predator Fund he is in charge of now has a return rate of more than 300%, making it one of our best performing funds."

"He is only 18 years old. Encouragement is important, but he should not be too complacent. After all, in this kind of work, the price of arrogance is very high."

Daisy also agreed with Barron's words. Apart from anything else, the main reason why the trader named Peter from NM Rothschild Bank caused them such a huge loss was that he was overconfident in his own judgment.

Rami's growth is certainly worth celebrating, but although he is very talented, he is only 18 years old.

There are countless brilliant traders in history who, after shining for a while, ultimately ended up in obscurity.

Barron doesn't want the same outcome for him, that would be a pity.

"Don't worry, I will be optimistic about him. Judging from his performance, his mentality is very stable. He doesn't look like an 18-year-old kid at all..."
