The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 165 Not supporting nor suppressing

In MacLehose's office, facing Xia Dingji who is about to go to London, he solemnly said: "I have submitted to the government before the adverse impact of the rise of Chinese capital on our British in Xiangjiang, especially the unwillingness of the Xinjian department to stand The Chinese-funded enterprises on our side have seriously shaken our foundation in Xiangjiang.

I also hope that after you return to London, you must focus on clarifying this factual point of view, and let the headquarters pay more attention to it.

We are willing to give Hong Kong Chinese-funded enterprises a relatively fair business environment, but these enterprises must stand on the same line as us and be used by us. "

As a senior official for many years, Xia Dingji naturally knows that the continuous expansion of the Xinjian Department is absolutely not beneficial to the British government in Xiangjiang.

But this is only in Xiangjiang, and it has little impact on the local area, and even made a lot of contributions to the local economy to a certain extent.

"MacLehose, I don't know what kind of misunderstanding you had with Li Jianhui and the Xin Jian Department, so that you set him and the Xin Jian Department as our enemies in Xiangjiang.

In my opinion, the development of the Xinjian Department will not only not have an impact on our rule here, but will also strengthen our influence here.

The better the economy of Xiangjiang develops, the more people in Xiangjiang will recognize us, the more stable the situation in Xiangjiang will be, and the more confidence we will have in future negotiations.

You have to be clear that Li Jianhui was born in Tiaojingling, and he has the blood and brand of a rightist on his body. Even if he enters the north as a businessman and invests, it is impossible for him to stand with that side in his heart.

I think what we should do is not restrict Li Jianhui and Xin Jian's family, and let him develop into a monopoly group.

In addition, our government will support one or even several Chinese-funded families to accelerate their development, so as to contain and even fight against the Xinjian family.

At that time, no matter whether it is the Xinjian Department or these families, for their own benefit, they will have to choose to stand by our side.

After all, only we can protect their interests from infringement, and only we can tolerate the existence of monopoly consortiums in Xiangjiang. "

Xia Dingji didn't mention another reason, that is, even if they lose their rule in Xiangjiang in the future, the Hua-funded families supported by the Xinjian Department will still be able to add obstacles there.

These guys who put family interests first will never be willing to have their own interests violated in the future. Once any policy violates their interests, these forces will inevitably use various means to resist.

Even Xia Dingji is going to suggest that Li Jianhui be appointed as a member of the Legislative and Legislative Councils of the Executive Council to participate in the formulation of Xiangjiang's development and policies.

He very much believes that this capitalist will find a way to formulate plans that are conducive to the monopoly of his company. At that time, these plans will become the biggest obstacle for the Xinjian Department and there.

Compared with MacLehose, Xia Dingji is more pessimistic about the future, especially the North's war against the South, and the attitude of the North during MacLehose's visit. Unless there is a war, England can only return Xiangjiang.

Once this happens, Li Jianhui and Xin Jian's family will inevitably become targets, because the political constitution determines that people like Xin Jian's family are the targets to be overthrown.

MacLehose was quite dissatisfied when he heard Xia Dingji's words. He knew better that once the Xinjian Department really became a monopoly consortium, they would be completely kidnapped, and they could only follow the interests of the Xinjian Department.

For example, this time Tsuen Wan to Yuen Long via Tai Lam Tunnel is a good example. This is indeed beneficial to the citizens of Yuen Long, but the essence of what Yan Jian proposed is for its own benefit.

If the Xinjian Department is allowed to continue to develop like this, the future will be more than just a highway. Even economic planning, law revision, etc., the Xinjian Department will use its own influence and incite public opinion to coerce the government.

He said in a concentrated voice: "As a senior official appointed here by England, how can you lose confidence in your own country?
Indulging in the expansion of the Li Jianhui and Xin Jian departments can only prove your distrust of the country's strength. I believe the Prime Minister is absolutely unwilling to hear such remarks from you.

This time the Prime Minister will personally listen to reports on various aspects of Xiangjiang. I hope that you can truly and objectively report the situation of Xiangjiang based on national interests. "

……

After Xia Dingji left, MacLehose contacted some high-level officials and MPs in England again, focusing on those who had good relations with HSBC, Standard Chartered, Jardine, and Swire.

For the benefit of the country, and for the long-term stability of this place, the major Huazi families can develop, but he will never allow the emergence of a thriving Huazi family, let alone the emergence of a monopoly consortium.

The upper echelon in London is also very noisy because of this issue, and they have different opinions on the issue of supporting the Xinjian Department and suppressing the Xinjian Department.

However, when it comes to supporting some Chinese-funded families, the opinions are very unified, because the Xinjian faction is getting stronger and stronger, and the British-funded enterprises in Hong Kong are shrinking. It is necessary to support some Chinese-funded families to fight against the Xinjian faction.

Supporting the Xinjian faction and supporting some Chinese-funded families against the Xinjian faction are not in conflict in the eyes of some congressmen and high-level officials. They need the Xinjian faction to stand on the opposite side of the north, and they also need to have power to contain the Xinjian faction.

Prime Minister Thatcher, who is busy with everything, had to set aside some time to understand the specific situation of Xiangjiang and the Xinjian Department in the face of the disputes between these congressmen and high-level officials.

Ruoxin established her department in London, and she will definitely suppress it as much as possible. As the government, she is determined not to see the emergence of monopoly consortiums, especially those that have just risen. She will try to suppress them as much as possible.

England is the first country with clear anti-monopoly laws, and it has been continuously improved for hundreds of years. This also allows England to avoid being influenced by consortium politics like RB in the United States to a certain extent.

It’s just that Xiangjiang is different from the British mainland. In order to protect the interests of British enterprises in Xiangjiang, no similar laws have been introduced. The monopoly of some enterprises in Xiangjiang will not be restricted and suppressed by the government.

Moreover, even if the anti-monopoly law is introduced now, it will be useless to the Xinjian Department. None of the other industries comply with the provisions of the anti-monopoly law.

On the morning of the 23rd, Thatcher convened a high-level meeting on the Xiangjiang issue. Many ministers and some MPs attended the meeting, as well as Xia Dingji who returned to London.

Many possibilities were discussed, even the worst possibility for England, and various judgments were made for the Xinjian Department.

In the end, a decision was made not to suppress, restrict, or support the Xinjian Department. At the same time, several Chinese-funded business elites in Xiangjiang were given key support targets to accelerate their development and promote their cooperation with British-funded capital, so as to contain the growing strength of Xiangjiang Xin Jian Department.

At the same time, the British government also decided to recall MacLehose and Xia Dingji. They would send two people who understand the situation in Xiangjiang and maintain a neutral attitude towards the Xinjian Department.

During this period of time, the situation in Xiangjiang made the British high-level officials quite dissatisfied, especially in dealing with the problems of Yuen Long citizens, which made the British government quite passive in the face of the north, and MacLehose could hardly be blamed for this.

Xia Dingji's small actions are also clear to the British side. Under the current situation of not supporting or suppressing the Xinjian Department, they are not willing to have a high-level official who is close to the Xinjian Department continue to work in Xiangjiang.
