Through the wealth life

Chapter 826
After Li Guangyu talked with Guocheng about his status, he left Guocheng and returned to Baishiyi Airport, and took a special plane to Qide Airport.

Li Guangyu didn't get off the plane. After Yuan Tianfan, Gan Qin, Zhao Xiaoyan, Zhao Qihui, and Chen Linwen got up, he flew directly to London.

Due to the general strike in England this time, the government is really anxious at this time, and urgently needs to meet and discuss with Li Guangyu.

And Li Guangyu was also in a hurry. He didn't have much time. According to the news from Du Yuemei, the negotiation on the issue of Xiangjiang was almost over.

Li Guangyu hopes to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars during this period, otherwise it will be more difficult for him to obtain the rights to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars in the future. It is likely that apart from the acquisition of HSBC and Standard Chartered, the Li consortium will never have any Here's the chance.

On the side of the British government, the Prime Minister is also discussing with the heads of the main departments to determine the negotiation with the Lee Consortium.

The British Prime Minister said to everyone in the meeting room: "On May 5th, Li Guangyu will arrive in London with his family and assistants, the three presidents of Tianyu Financial Group, Kowloon Group, and Hongkong Communications Group, and the vice president of Hengyu Supermarket Group. The issue of the right to issue banknotes has dragged on for nearly half a year, and I hope this time there will be a good result.”

Now the prime minister is under a lot of pressure. This sudden general strike has made the already sluggish economic situation in England even worse. If the government does not come up with favorable economic policies, the future economic situation in England will not be optimistic.

The inflation of the economy, the high unemployment rate, and the ever-decreasing life happiness index of citizens are all problems that Britain needs to solve.

The Minister of Industry said: "At present, many state-owned enterprises in our country are operating at a loss. This has seriously dragged down our government's finances. Although we have always hoped to reform it, the Labor Party has always opposed our policies."

In England, the Conservative Party is in power this term, and the Labor Party is the largest opposition party. They are very opposed to the privatization reform of government industries proposed by the government, which has delayed the implementation of some policies proposed by the government.

"Now we must unswervingly implement our policy. Only in this way can our domestic economic situation be reversed. I have contacted some other parties and the Queen, and have received the support of the Queen and some parties. There is no problem with the implementation of the policy, and reform is imperative, otherwise we have no way to save the current domestic economic situation.”

After hearing what the Prime Minister said, they all knew that the Prime Minister was determined to carry out large-scale reforms in the country this time. By selling the government assets that were operating at a loss, not only would they be able to get rid of their burdens, but they would also have financial resources to invest in other aspects To promote the development of British economy.

The Minister of Economic Affairs who was in charge of negotiating with Du Yuemei said: "The Li's consortium is obviously unwilling to accept our high conditions. If we don't lower the conditions this time, even if Li Guangyu comes, we will not be able to reach an agreement. The Li's consortium is obviously unwilling. They spent too much money to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, and their focus of development is still in Asia, and Britain and even Western Europe are not where they focus on development."

In recent years, the Lee Consortium has continuously increased its investment in Greater China and Southeast Asia, expanding the strength of the Li Consortium and driving the development of these regions.

The Bentley Group is growing bigger and bigger, and the annual tax payment is also rising, but the car production here has not expanded much. The Li's consortium has transferred its production bases to Greater China and Southeast Asia, where labor costs are cheaper. There are not many jobs in England at all.

Moreover, the groups under the Li's consortium are notoriously unwilling to take out loans. If they want to invest tens of billions of dollars in England at one time, it is simply a joke, and the Li's consortium will not agree.

The prime minister said: "Don't pay attention to the conditions mentioned by some congressmen. They just don't want us to reach a cooperation with the Lee consortium. They don't want the Lee consortium to get the right to issue Hong Kong dollar banknotes. The contribution of HSBC and Standard Chartered is indispensable behind this."

When some members of Parliament put forward these conditions, the Prime Minister and the others followed suit. Naturally, they were happy to see the success of the Lee consortium investing so much money in England.

It's a pity that the Li's consortium obviously didn't want to be taken advantage of, and they didn't agree with the conditions given by the British government at all.

Now that the domestic situation in England is deteriorating rapidly, the Conservative Party headed by the Prime Minister obviously cannot sit still. At this time, they will not take care of the interests of the two major banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered. They need to solve the current bad situation in the country.

The Minister of Economic Affairs said: "The conditions given by the Li's consortium are too low. They mainly invest in a building worth 10 billion US dollars to serve as their headquarters in Western Europe. At the same time, Hengyu Supermarket Group will enter our British market. , will open no less than [-] Hengyu supermarkets."

For such an investment, the British government is not satisfied with obtaining the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. They hope that the Lee consortium can acquire several large enterprises and create jobs for tens of thousands of people.

And the Lee Consortium is obviously not willing to take over the burden in their hands. These two investments are just a drop in the bucket for the current situation in England and will not play a big role.

The Minister of Industry said: "At present, many of our reforms are mainly in the energy industry, which is precisely what the Lee Consortium has not involved in, and according to the development plan of the Lee Consortium, they have no plans to enter this area for the time being."

The investment in energy is very large. Except for some established consortiums and families, families that have emerged in a short period of time will not be involved in this industry. The cost recovery in this regard is relatively slow, and the investment amount is huge, which is not affordable for ordinary families and consortiums.

At present, the Lee Consortium is mainly focused on the development of the electronics industry, cultural media industry, and financial and service industries. It has little involvement in energy, especially in terms of resource sources. The Li Consortium has no plans to enter at all.

The Prime Minister also knew that if Li Guangyu wanted to take action in this regard, the interest in the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars was not enough. Especially after the coal industry strike in China this time, Li Guangyu would not be involved in it, but she It is clear that Li Guangyu and the Li consortium do not want to cause trouble.

This really gave her a headache. Li's consortium now prefers to enter the communication, retail, hotel, and high-tech industries, which do not match what she wants to reform, which also increases the difficulty of negotiation between the two parties.

She said: "After you go down, take a good look at the companies we want to reform this time, and see which ones are suitable for the Li's consortium. When I meet with Li Guangyu, I can communicate with him and try to reach an agreement with the Li's consortium. Cooperation, so that it can form a demonstration effect and attract more foreign investment.”

Li Guangyu's here is just the beginning of her search for cooperation. Next, she will look for more powerful consortiums and groups to join in her reform, so as to promote the British economy out of the quagmire and drive its economic development.

With regard to the strike in the coal industry this time, she knows that the Labor Party must be involved. This time she will not choose to compromise on this, and she will make the people behind the scenes pay the price.
