Chapter 389 Thatcher's Plan
In the morning of London time, after receiving Gan Qin's notice, Du Yuemei contacted the office of the Prime Minister's Office, hoping to meet Mrs. Thatcher in the afternoon.

After getting the response, Du Yuemei drove from Coventry to London in a vehicle accompanied by bodyguards. Du Yuemei was also thinking about how to persuade Thatcher authorities to agree to the establishment of a new airline company in Xiangjiang by the Li Group in the car.

At this time, after Madam Thatcher learned that Du Yuemei had come to visit her, she immediately asked her team whether there was something wrong with the development of the Bentley Group.

Thatcher is in a lot of troubles now. The British economy was already very bad. The inflation rate exceeded 10%. Inflation has also climbed again, posing a big challenge to her governing.

The Bentley Group, as a test field for her governance reforms, has developed quite well over the past year, which makes her more confident in her economic reforms.It's just that with the implementation of the US trade protection policy, the current development of the Bentley Group has also fallen into difficulties. Thatcher thought that Du Yuemei came here for the Bentley Group.

An official close to Thatcher said: "We have not received a report on the major problems at the Bentley Group. Instead, the Li Group injected another 10 billion US dollars into the Bentley Group for the expansion of the Bentley Group. Today, the Bentley Group The group should be fine."

Mrs. Thatcher heard that Li's Group actually invested one billion US dollars at this time. It seems that Li's Group has full confidence in the auto industry.If that's the case, why is Du Yuemei rushing to visit her today?

Facing Mrs. Thatcher's question, the official in charge of Xiangjiang's intelligence affairs replied: "I just received news that the Li Group is planning to acquire Cathay Pacific Airways in Xiangjiang, but neither HSBC nor Swire Group is willing to sell it. Mai Lihao also reported to us that Li Guangyu hoped to establish a new airline company in Xiangjiang, and MacLehose asked us to consider more for the citizens of Xiangjiang, so that the Lee Group can enter the aviation business of Xiangjiang.”

One of the officials said: "I can recognize MacLehose's economic ability, but he sometimes forgets his identity. We must not agree to let the Li Group enter the market of our British capital. Now the Swire Group has put Cathay Pacific The aviation business is doing very well, so there is no need to let the Chinese consortium enter.”

Thatcher ignored these disputed officials. She is now thinking about how to make good use of this matter so that their government can obtain greater profits.

Li Guangyu's income in the stock market can be hidden from ordinary people, but in the face of the British intelligence department, his little things have long been clear here.This time the Lee Group made a profit of more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. If these funds can be invested in the British mainland, it will relieve a lot of pressure on their government.

As for the interests of the Swire Group, Mrs. Thatcher didn't care too much. Don't look at the Swire Group's great influence in Xiangjiang. In London, it is just a slightly larger group. The influence here is stronger than that of the Shi Huaiya family. There are too many characters.

Besides, the Swire Group mainly develops in Asia, and there are not many industries in London. Thatcher has long been dissatisfied with this. Haven't you seen the sharp rise in local unemployment?Everyone wants to rely on the government to make profits in various regions, but never thinks about helping the government solve some problems.

On the other hand, Li Guangyu's side was just a Bentley Group, which invested 20 billion US dollars in just over a year, which brought development momentum to the local economy of Coventry.

This time, Thatcher is going to take another stab at enterprises with poorly managed public assets. Instead of letting them drag down the government's finances, it is better to let them be privatized.In this way, the government can get a sum of money for improvement in other places, and the private sector can develop the enterprise well, and the government can also get tax revenue.

Mrs. Thatcher asked the person in charge of Xiangjiang affairs: "What actions has the Li Group made recently?"

The official replied: "After Li's Group made profits from the stock market, it increased the expansion of the supermarket group and the real estate group. Their markets are mainly in Taiwan and Japan."

After hearing that, Thatcher was thinking about which industries he was planning to privatize, and the Li Group was willing to take over.

If I put forward some conditions that the Li Group does not want to enter the industry at all, it is estimated that the Li Group will not agree for the sake of an airline.He knew the young man very well through some information, and he was very sensible. He would never take over things that were not good for him.

Mrs. Thatcher also felt sad for the present of England. The past glory was just yesterday. As the prime minister of England, she would think carefully in order to attract billions of dollars in investment. Thinking of this, Mrs. Thatcher also sighed for the current situation .

It would be almost impossible for her to be re-elected if England's current difficulties were not resolved in a favorable manner, and the reform also faced huge resistance, which made her have to deal with it.

This time, she hopes to attract foreign capital to enter again, activate the local capital market, and let those congressmen see the benefits of the reform. At the same time, some financial groups will definitely not be able to sit still and join in, so that their own reforms can be carried out smoothly.

Mrs Thatcher stopped the officials from arguing and instead had the Chancellor brief them on the figures for the first seven months of the British mainland to give them an idea of ​​the current situation.

After the Chancellor finished speaking, Mrs Thatcher said: "You have also heard about our current economic development. At such a severe time, if we don't speed up reforms, our economy will only get worse. I know Some people always want to protect the interests of the British consortium, but when we need their investment to improve the domestic economic environment, where are these groups?"

Mrs. Thatcher's words made the ministers present speechless. Which of these consortiums does not want to wait for the situation to deteriorate before coming out to buy bottoms. The reason why they do not make a move now is to wait for the government to hold on. The big profit sharing is a group of people who want to get the benefits for nothing.

Mrs. Thatcher said: "This time we need the Li Group to invest in our local area and set an example for foreign capital to invest in us. Their Bentley Group is very good. Many auto parts companies in Coventry are Let them revitalize it. If we treat the Li Group differently in the airline policy, how can the Li Group rest assured to continue to invest in our homeland."

An official said: "But in this way, the British consortium in Xiangjiang will feel more and more uncomfortable. Now they have been suppressed by the Li consortium in many industries, and now we are only issuing banknotes in Hong Kong dollars." The airlines in the hands of the above and the Swire Group have a monopoly position, and other industries have been impacted by the Chinese-funded consortium headed by the Lee consortium, which makes our British-funded consortium's influence in Xiangjiang less and less."

Mrs. Thatcher doesn't care much about the issue of the Hong Kong British-funded consortium. The government has given them so many policies. As a result, the Chinese-funded consortium has squeezed several large British-funded foreign firms into such a group in such a short period of time. Dude.If it weren't for some support from the own government, I'm afraid these British consortiums would have been squeezed out of the Xiangjiang market long ago.

Mrs. Thatcher said: "The right to issue banknotes should be in our hands. As for airlines, Cathay Pacific has established a foundation for so many years. If the Lee consortium is suppressed as soon as it enters, we can't blame our government." , just blame their own incompetence, such an advantage can’t maintain the company’s development, so it deserves to be squeezed and closed down by the airlines of the Li’s consortium.”

These officials saw that Mrs. Thatcher was determined to let the Li's consortium enter the aviation industry, so they no longer stopped them. Instead, they discussed which industry to let Li Guangyu enter the local industry, and dumped the poorly managed companies to the Li's consortium. .
