Chapter 868 Funny People
The most famous royal family in the world is the British royal family, and the most well-known British royal family is Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.

As for the British princesses, relatively speaking, they rarely appear in the public media.

But this Princess Anne in front of her is a different kind.

She is the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth, born on August 1950, 8, the only current eldest princess, and the No. 15 heir to the British royal family.

Secondly, she is an excellent equestrian athlete. In 1971, Princess Anne, who was only 21 years old, won the individual championship of the three events of the European All-round Equestrian Championship.

In 1975, she once again won the individual runner-up and team runner-up in the three events of the European All-round Equestrian Championship. In 1976, she represented Great Britain in the Montreal Olympics and won the silver medal in the team competition.

Her limelight even surpassed that of her elder brother, Crown Prince Charles. The Queen and Mrs. Thatcher also sent her to visit the Soviet Union, which shows their favor and reliance on her.

But her love life can be said to be full of twists and turns. Marrying a guard, cheating on her lover, and her four-cornered love affair once embarrassed the British royal family.

On November 1973, 11, Princess Anne married Mark Phillips, who was a captain in the Queen's First Guards Dragoons at Westminster Abbey in London. The two shared a common equestrian hobby.

At that time, this wedding once reached the highest ratings in the world, because it was rare for a princess to marry a commoner at that time.

But she still kept her own way after marriage, anyway, she had a rich private life.

Although traditionally the queen is not allowed to directly intervene in politics and looks like a mascot, the queen, who has been in power for many years, is a close friend of all prime ministers since Churchill.

This, combined with her good relations with world leaders, means that every opinion she expresses will be carefully considered by the prime ministers.

And Thatcher grew up in a city councilor's family, and his father was a staunch royalist.

In their home, listening to the Queen's radio speech is as important as going to church on Christmas morning.

Mrs Thatcher was also a feminist, she once wrote in a published article:

"If the accession of Queen Elizabeth really removes the last vestiges of prejudice against aspiring women ascending to the highest positions, then a new era of women's emancipation is indeed at hand."

She is in awe of the Queen, both as a person and as a status.

She shows her loyalty to the queen with her behavior: squatting lower than almost anyone when she curtsies to the queen; when she meets with the queen on a routine Tuesday, she usually arrives 15 minutes early to ensure that she will not be late .

That's why Su Chen said, "I want to breastfeed, my mother is here, I'm thinking about my mother's family, my uncle is here."

"Hello, Mr. Su." Princess Anne smiled back, "Just now I heard you discussed Mrs Thatcher's policy, so I came to disturb you, I hope you will not be offended."

Su Chen smiled slightly: "I believe that any gentleman would not mind such interruptions. I mentioned this policy just now because her policy adheres to the neoliberal free market economic theory on the one hand.

On the other hand, it advocates a neo-conservative cultural right-wing program policy and opposes "consensus politics" based on Keynesian economics and support for the welfare state.

To some extent, it is part of the international tendency against egalitarianism and collectivism, so I am called a 'hybrid'.

Those present today are all well-known British scholars, and I believe they can also see it. "

"As for your Highness's question about my opinion just now..." Su Chen pondered for a while, and then said: "If I am wrong, then those who agree will think that I am speaking ironically and deliberately attracting attention.

If I agree with her approach, some people may think that we in China should also implement this approach, but since Her Royal Highness asked me, my opinion is that her policy is in line with the current British situation.

Since she came to power, she has maintained strong growth for almost ten years, creating the longest and largest post-war growth record in Britain.

All these are inseparable from a series of economic policies adopted by the Thatcher government. "

Princess Anne smiled and said, "It seems that you don't really agree with this policy."

"No, some things can only be seen in terms of results, not too long-term." Su Chen said, "I can no longer make any predictions, otherwise someone may attack me and cause trouble for nothing."

"You are such a cautious Chinese." Princess Anne thought for a while, "How long will you stay in England?"

"Depending on the situation, I'm not sure when I'll leave." Su Chen said, "London is a very nice place, isn't it? I'm going to ride a horse at the racecourse in two days."

Princess Anne smiled, "It seems that you are also an interesting person. Seeing that you are so confident, your horse riding skills should be good, right? I rarely meet Chinese people who say they are proficient in equestrian skills."

"Because we are all working hard to fill our stomachs, we don't have time to think too much about other things." Su Chen said, "I'm just one of them, and I still have some research on these things."

"You are an interesting Chinese." Princess Anne said, "I still have something to do, see you when I have time."

"Goodbye, Your Royal Highness."

Su Chen didn't think that the other party was interested in him just by talking to him.

But then again...

He turned his head and continued bragging with a group of scholars around him, and the discussions were basically topics of economics.

After all, if you want to discuss Chinese poetry with these people, they don't understand it, so it's better to beat them in the field they are good at.

After a round of communication, there is quite a feeling of Zhuge Liang's tongue fighting against the Confucians.

Although these scholars are well-known and knowledgeable for a long time, it can't stand that Su Chen has decades more knowledge than them.

In particular, many of these people's viewpoints at the moment have flaws of one kind or another, and cannot meet the needs of the moment, but it happens that in the next few decades, these flaws will be completed by themselves or by others.

From this point of view, Su Chen has been ahead of them for decades, and it is a coincidence to use their own views to defeat them, but it would be too stupid if he still copied them mechanically.

Therefore, at the end of the morning exchange, these scholars all admired this young Chinese economist.

Some of the problems they couldn't figure out now, after communicating with Su Chen, they were all inspired and praised.

"Mr. Su, you deserve your title as an economist."

"Yes, the questions you have thought about are very comprehensive, and you have also put forward many interesting points of view. Now I can't wait to go back to the study immediately and complete what you said."

"I think your title of Eastern Wizard is indeed too correct, and it shows us the wisdom of your Chinese."

"Mr. Su, is your China now adopting the views you advocate?" someone asked.

Su Chen shook his head: "We are just providing reference, the specific implementation is not for us, isn't it?"

……

After the exchange, everyone had a simple meal together.

During the dinner, Princess Anne, who disappeared for several hours, reappeared: "Mr. Su, can you go to University College London for an exchange this afternoon?"
