In order to stimulate consumption, Rich Sunak, the "second-in-commander in the British political arena, has really worked hard. Recently, he actually went to a restaurant in central London to work as a waiter!
· Sunak serves.
It’s a pity, what awaits him is not praise, but mockery:
"The Chancellor of the Exchequer is a waiter? Absurd. This is the world-class public relations and marketing of the British government. What they should focus on is the policy itself, not anything else."
"Even if the situation in the UK is stable now, restaurant waiters still need to wear masks."
The scene of him serving the wrong dishes to customers was even more regarded as a joke, and was criticized for "there are dramatic mistakes in show-making", which is simply "the worst waiter in the world."
In fact, this is one of the rare "turnover" moments in Sunak's life. Before this, he had always been the "script" of the male protagonist of the cool story -
from an ordinary family, but he had to change his destiny by education. He held a double education in Oxford and Stanford, and his net worth over 100 million yuan became one of the richest members of Congress;
married a rich lady, and his father-in-law was the sixth richest man in India, and was called "Asian Bill Gates";
In just five years, he was promoted from a newcomer to a finance minister, and was called the British "economic Jedi" and "possible future prime minister".
The great success he has achieved is obviously more worth exploring than complaining about his small failure now.
Education changes destiny
In 1980, Sunak was born in an ordinary Indian immigrant family in the UK:
Dad is a general practitioner and lives in the poorest place in Southampton; his mother is a pharmacist and opened a small pharmacy; there are three brothers and sisters in the family. As the eldest son, he has to go to his mother's pharmacy to help since he was a child.
10 when he was about to be a year old, he took his younger brother and sister out to play and experienced racial discrimination in a fast food restaurant. "(the person sitting at the nearby dining table) said something very unpleasant and used the word P (the despicable name for Pakistani or South Asians in English). "
Sunak will always remember that sting.
He understands that if he wants to become a person who can change the world, the best way is to "get out of the exam".
html When he was 013, he applied for the Winchester Public School, the leader of the nine major public schools in the UK. Fortunately, he was qualified for admission; unfortunately, he did not receive a scholarship.This is a fully boarding school with a tuition fee of nearly 40,000 pounds per year (1 pound is about 8.9 yuan), which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the Sunak family.
But his parents did not hesitate and sent him to Winchester Public School. When recalling many years later, Sunak was very grateful to his parents for their sacrifice.
After entering the public school, Sunak not only had excellent academic performance, but also got a bunch of new skills: cricket, football, debate, etiquette... With comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, he defeated a bunch of excellent students and was elected as the president of the Student Union. After graduating from
, he entered , Oxford University, to study for political, economic and philosophy. Some people jokingly say that this major is specially prepared for those who want to be prime ministers. Former British Prime Minister Cameron comes from this major.
However, Sunak's ambition is not in the political arena at this time. After graduating from Oxford University, he went to Goldman Sachs, a world-renowned investment bank. After working as an analyst for
for 3 years, he decided to go to Stanford to study for an MBA. At that time, he didn't know how much change this decision would make his people.
It was during his studies at Stanford that he met Akshata Murthy. The two fell in love and got married in 2009.

It was during his studies at Stanford that he met Akshata Murthy. The two fell in love and got married in 2009.
· Sunak (first right) and father-in-law (first left), mother-in-law, wife (second right).
The wife’s family background is not ordinary. Her father is Narayana Murthi, an Indian billionaire and co-founder of Infosys, an IT service giant, and was named one of the 12 greatest entrepreneurs of the times by Fortune magazine.After graduating from
, the couple returned to the UK to develop. Sunak plunged into a fund company, and was promoted to a partner of the fund company at the age of 26. Four years later, he established a new fund company with his friends, with the initial management funds of up to US$700 million (1 US dollar is approximately RMB 7).
His wife did not choose to be a full-time housewife, but instead runs her own fashion design company and serves as a director of the venture capital company established by her father.
During this period, the two gave birth to two lovely daughters, and the family of four was envious of others.
· Sunak's family of four.
Looking back, Sunak was able to "become CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of his life", and every step was related to his best education.
After five years of political work, he "successfully" became the second-rank
When everyone thought Sunak would all focus on "playing around" the fund circle, in 2015, he suddenly turned around and "killed" into politics and began to run for Yorkshire Councillor.
Although he has no political resources and connections, he has gained countless fans with his personal charm. Former British Foreign Secretary William Hege even compared him with William Pitt, a -the latter was a 23-year-old parliamentarian and became a "awesome role" of the prime minister at the age of 24.
Hege praised Sunak, saying that he and Pitt are "just young and have an unlimited future", which seems to be a very accurate prediction.
Since his successful election as a local councillor, Sunak has begun to "surge" and has been ranked as the "second seat" in the UK in just five years.
Of course, the support of my father-in-law is indispensable. As a busy billionaire, he sometimes even leaves his job and flies over to canvass votes for his son-in-law and goes out to distribute flyers for his son-in-law.
However, the most important thing is Sunak's own abilities and opportunities.
has always been a firm " Brexit faction". According to the Yorkshire Post, he believes that the EU's bureaucratic red tape is not good for British businesses, and that Brexit will make Britain "freer, more fairer and more prosperous".
With his super high dual commerce and eloquence, he "brainwashed" the people of Yorkshire. In the 2016 British Brexit referendum, a region known for its conservativeness, Yorkshire actually supported Brexit with a turnout of 56%.
Sunak, who had just entered politics for one year, has become famous since then.
He once supported former Prime Minister Theresa May, but later switched to the Boris Johnson camp and became his "hard fan".
·Sunak (right) and Boris.
In order to clarify his support for Johnson, he and two other Conservative MPs wrote an article in the Times, with the title very eye-catching - "The Conservative Party is facing a crisis, and only Johnson can save the Conservative Party."
As the saying goes, one person can attain enlightenment, and the chicken and dog can ascend to heaven.
After Johnson took office as Prime Minister, he immediately promoted Sunak and transferred him from the local government to the Ministry of Finance to serve as Secretary-General of the Ministry of Finance.
In February this year, the "sews of Brexit" and the new crown pneumonia epidemic brought shock to the British political arena. At that time, the Chancellor Javid and Prime Minister Johnson "break up" and resigned in anger.
Johnson saw that this important position was better than to support his own people. In this way, Sunak was unexpectedly pushed to the position of Finance Minister, creating a "new miracle" in the speed of political promotion in recent years.
· In the UK, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is considered the "second-in-command" in politics, and his official address is No. 11 Downing Street. The picture shows Sunak walking out of No. 11 Downing Street.
At the end of March, after Johnson was diagnosed with COVID-19, his spokesperson said that if Foreign Minister Raab is unable to take office in power, the Chancellor of the Finance Minister Sunak will assume the responsibility.
At that time, someone analyzed that if Sunak had not really lacked political experience, it might not be Rabu who was in power. This shows how high Sunak's status in British politics is now.
After testing in the epidemic
When he first took office, Sunak was ridiculed as a "puppet minister of finance."But after the test of the epidemic, he reversed the public's evaluation of him.
html In February, he said he would support the economy that was hit hard by the new crown pneumonia epidemic "at any cost". Since then, he has fulfilled his promise -On March 11, he announced his first budget, a 12 billion pound stimulus plan, announcing that the statutory sick leave wages will be supported by the government; on March 17, he brought another 350 billion pound rescue plan, which is the first time in the UK that the government has ever borne the people's wages:
"All enterprises, regardless of size, whether they are profitable institutions or charities, if they choose not to lay off employees who cannot go to work, the government will bear 80% of their wages, capped at 2,500 pounds per person per month."
Subsequently, Sunak announced that he would add 3 billion pounds of support to self-employed people.
Entering July, he spent another 30 billion pounds to save the market.
This plan includes:
every Monday to Wednesday in August, all British citizens can enjoy a 50% discount when dining in restaurants;
reduces the value-added tax on hotels and tourism from 20% to 5%;
raises the tax threshold for home purchases to 500,000 pounds;
provides 6 months of paid internship opportunities for young people aged 16 to 24;
After the forced leave plan expires at the end of October, employers can get 1,000 pounds for every employee recalled;
...
... After "spending money" wildly, Sunak's approval rating soared. A Conservative website poll of party members showed that his approval rating was 35% higher than Johnson at one point. So, some say he might be Johnson's successor.
The people who supported him gave him a bunch of nicknames: "At the cost of money", "Sexy and charming Rich", "British Economic Jedi", " Santa Claus in protective clothing ".
But some people cheered, some people questioned.
The Financial Times reported that after a series of operations, the British government's fiscal deficit rose to twice that of after 2008. Mr. Sunak will eventually face the challenge of how to stabilize public finances after the epidemic is over. "He cannot always play Santa Claus."
In the face of controversy, Sunak abandoned the obscure and difficult terms and expressed his opinion in the plainest and most sincere language:
"Compared to any time in our history, we should judge our behavior with empathy. We must help each other. For plumbers, barbers, etc., we cannot forget them behind our minds."
This sincerity and empathy are the most fundamental reasons why he has received a lot of support.
But this time he seemed to have forgotten this point. Going to a restaurant as a waiter was more like a cheap political gimmick, eye-catching but cursing.
Less tricks and more sincerity, so that Sunak will not become more and more vague on the "Ascendant Road".
