The British government announced that it would assist companies in paying employees wages, up to £2,500 a month, I believe many people have heard of the news. At that time, many news headlines also said that Britain was the first to enter communism.
If there are people watching live broadcasts or watching news, it is not difficult to find that the Chancellor of the Exchequer who announced this policy is not the mainstream blonde and blue-eyed look in the UK, and this may be the first time many people have noticed him.
Key points are first seen:
- At the beginning of the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the UK, Sunak announced an unprecedented £350 billion corporate rescue plan. html took office on February 13. He had not managed government departments before and is now ranked third in the UK. If Dominic Rab, the Foreign Minister who temporarily manages the government on behalf of the Prime Minister, also gets sick, Chiri Sunak will temporarily lead the government.
- Caixiang's resume is brilliant, including Winchester University, Oxford University, Goldman Sachs and Stanford University.
- Grandfather is an immigrant from East Africa and India. He is now one of the richest MPs in the UK. His wife is the daughter of a rich Indian worth 2 billion yuan.
- Brexit and the new crown, Sunak's political career helped him quickly reach the peak of power, and shouldering heavy burdens is also a rare opportunity.
at all costs
htmlRish Sunak, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, took office on February 13, has the main responsibility of preventing the new crown epidemic from turning into an economic disaster.
On March 17, Sunak attended a press conference at No. 10 Downing Street with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. In his fourth week as Chancellor of the Exchequer, he announced a "unprecedented" £300 billion corporate bailout.
He allocated tens of billions of pounds to save troubled businesses in an unprecedented way, even during the war: "For the first time in our history, our government will pay people's wages."

He said: "We hope to look back on this period of time and remember how we first think about others and how to act appropriately." We can't help but wonder who is this extremely confident politician?
New office for 2 months
Young wealth is still under 40 years old. He was appointed as Chancellor of the Finance Minister on February 13 this year after the dramatic resignation of the previous prime minister, Sajid Javid, but before that, he had not managed a government department.
He has been a MP for less than five years. Just a year ago, he was the least experienced minister in the local government department. Now he is at the center of perhaps the worst economic and human crisis in Britain since World War II, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading people out of disaster.
Few people noticed Sunak's arrival, but at the tense coronavirus press conference at 10 Downing Street, everyone realized that the Prime Minister's podium might be where he ended up going. He also became a popular candidate for the next Prime Minister.
His rise is so fast that he has little time to make enemies, but the future may be even more difficult. A Treasury insider admitted: "He won't be that popular when we raise taxes again to solve this problem." But for now, he has embarked on a political path to the highest level of British politics.
Sunak's rise caught many people off guard. He is not a sociable person. As a Prohibitionist, he prefers to spend a long day with his family at home in Westminster rather than chatting late into the night at dinner.
In the "important list" released by the government, Sunak was ranked second, which means that if neither Prime Minister Boris nor Foreign Minister Raab could perform his duties, he would act as Prime Minister. This even surpassed Michael Gove, the originally favored cabinet minister.
resume, glamorous and valuable
was born in 1980. About 60 years ago, his Indian grandparents immigrated to the UK from East Africa. He did not come from a background of wealthy land and urban interests. His parents were immigrants: his father was a general practitioner in a difficult area of Southampton, and his mother ran a local chemical business.
He studied at Winchester Public School, one of the nine major British public schools founded in 1382. The school's annual tuition fee is as high as £40,000. While at school, he served as president of the male student union.
Then, he was admitted to the PPE major at Oxford University. PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics, Political Science, Economics and Philosophy) is a special major at Oxford University. It is also regarded as the cradle of the prime minister and the starting point of his political career. The Oxford PPE course sets great challenges for students in terms of learning tasks, and also gives all readers a confident, internationalist, flexible and flexible outlook on life, encouraging them to make their own contributions to the UK and the world. Former British Prime Minister Cameron, Aunt May and current Prime Minister Boris all graduated from Oxford's PPE major.
In Oxford, Sunak joined the Investment Association and learned to trade in the market rather than pursue student politics. A minister believes he ended up in politics because he wanted to solve problems, but the way he treated politics was unified: “He had no agenda, he was a problem-solving person. He was more like a businessman than a politician in this regard. A friend said Sunak “takes the most of all the opportunities given to him and wants to give back to society.”
Sunak worked at Goldman after graduating with a first-class honors degree Sachs, who worked as a junior analyst in the commercial banking department for three years. Although he was the youngest and most experienced person in the department at that time, he had shown amazing leadership.
Since 2005, he worked as a Fulbright scholar at Stanford University for a year and studied for an MBA. After returning to London, he began working in hedge funds. In 2006, he joined the radical rights protection fund TCI.
His experience in finance has made him Rich – He is said to be one of the richest members of parliament. He met his current wife, Alexa Murti, at Stanford University, whose father NR Narayana Murti is the sixth richest man in India, and his net worth exceeds $2 billion, according to Forbes.
The rapid rise of a novice politician
In less than five years, Sunak jumped from a novice politician to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a remarkable achievement stemming from two major decisions that will ultimately benefit his political career. First, it is the Brexit. In 2016, when preparing for the Brexit referendum, Sunak joined the Brexit camp, running with Johnson and forming alliances with Conservative activists, including many voters who are skeptical of the EU.
Sunak believes he can see the "economic opportunities" brought by Brexit. Sunak has previously said that he "studied the data" and that his time at Stanford convinced him that the world is changing very quickly and the EU has not been able to keep up. Britain needs to be more flexible.
The COVID-19 outbreak is a huge challenge for Sunak, and he feels He felt the weight of the whole world pressing on his shoulders. He knew he had a huge responsibility and worked 18 hours a day for several weeks.
But the epidemic is also a political opportunity. For ten years, Conservative Chancellors had to compress public spending: In contrast, in recent weeks, Sunak has been praised for acting like a left-wing Labor Chancellor and distributing cash. Treasury officials also said Sunak is Nigel Lawson since more than 30 years ago Lawson) has the most capable Chancellor of the Chancellor since. However, the situation is grim and he hasn't even had time to move from his residence in southwest London to 11 Downing Street.
The coronavirus crisis of the new crown epidemic may be a melting pot to build another great British political career.Both Prime Minister Boris and Finance Sunak are given great responsibility for this. If it turns out that they are fully qualified for this challenge, they will be destined to write their own mark in history.
