Chapter 828 Returning to Buckingham Palace
The next morning, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to Buckingham Palace with their three children.

In the drawing room, Her Majesty the Queen said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, lovely babies, welcome to visit us."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your invitation, and it is a great honor to come to Buckingham Palace again."

Li Guangyu originally thought that the Prime Minister would have a meeting with him first, but unexpectedly, the Queen sent him an invitation letter first, inviting him to come to Buckingham Palace with his family.

The queen said with a smile: "Mrs. Li, when Mr. Li came here as a guest in 80, I asked him to bring you to my place as a guest. It's a pity that you may think that I can't attract you, and you will spend a lot of time." It took you four years to get here."

As for Li Guangyu, it is clear why he has not set foot in the British mainland for so long. The root cause is the Xiangjiang problem. As long as the dust is not settled, Li Guangyu is not willing to come to their mainland, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the Li consortium .

Moreover, the Queen knew that Li Guangyu had never set foot in the mainland capital until now, which was enough to show how cautious Li Guangyu was.

This time, if Xiangjiang's return to the mainland had not become a foregone conclusion, I'm afraid Li Guangyu would not have come to them.

Cao Weiqing said politely: "Your Majesty, it's not that Guangyu doesn't want to bring me to visit you, but it's mainly because I've been pregnant or the baby is too young to travel far this year. It's finally getting better this year, so Our whole family came to London."

Although everyone knew the reason why Li Guangyu hadn't come to London these past few years, Cao Weiqing still wanted to find some other reasons.

And in the past few years, her reason couldn't be more suitable. If it weren't for the few babies, she would have been able to accompany Li Guangyu to visit Southeast Asia last year. Maybe Gan Qin would not have blocked the gun for Li Guangyu. She causes so much stress.

The queen did not chat with Li Guangyu about political issues, nor did she talk about economic matters with Li Guangyu. She chatted more about some interesting things in life with Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing, and joked with a few children from time to time.

Li Guangyu's family had lunch with the queen at Buckingham Palace. They talked a lot with the queen in the afternoon, and they didn't return to Regal Hotel until four o'clock in the afternoon.

This time, the queen mentioned all political topics, and did not discuss the investment of the Li consortium. Today, she just chatted about some daily routines and expressed her welcome to Li Guangyu's family.

Li Guangyu knew that since the queen was so friendly, it is estimated that this meeting with the prime minister would be quite difficult, and the negotiation might be quite difficult, otherwise he would not have received the queen's invitation this time.

This is to let him feel the kindness of Yinglun first, and although it cannot be said that it is malicious, it is certain that it will make him unhappy. This time, I am afraid that the prime minister still wants the lion to open his mouth.

Not long after Li Guangyu left Buckingham Palace, the Prime Minister came here to communicate with the Queen about some matters, which involved Li Guangyu.

The queen said to the prime minister: "You should not be too tough when negotiating with Li Guangyu. Li Guangyu is a very assertive person. If you are too demanding, he will not be willing to get involved. Our current problems in England are also the same. It’s not something that can be solved by the Li’s consortium.”

Of course, the prime minister also knows that one Li family consortium is far from enough, but now she needs a force to take the lead and set an example, so that more forces can join in.

At present, no matter whether it is the British native family and consortium, or the Western European consortium, they just want to buy the bottom at a low price. How can the Prime Minister make them happy? He hopes that in this reform, these industries can be sold at a higher price and increase government revenue.

Once the Li's consortium can acquire some of their properties at a good price, with a reference, their government can better negotiate with other consortiums and families.

Fortunately, they still have what Li Guangyu wants to get here. They can let the Li's consortium eat some property, otherwise their government will be even more difficult.

The Prime Minister said: "This time I will try my best to reach an agreement with the Lee Consortium to promote mutual benefit and win-win results for both parties. You also know the capabilities of the Li Consortium. Some enterprises can turn losses into profits soon after they are in their hands. Whether it is This is true for both Bentley Group and the current British Telecom Group. I really hope that the Lee Consortium will take over more industries so that we can better drive our economic development."

The queen thinks that the prime minister still thinks too well. The Li family group is not under the control of their British government, and they are not charities. How could they choose high prices to buy some companies? Judging from the development of the Li family group, it is not a last resort , they would rather build their own group than buy it.

And this time the government is mainly targeting some traditional industries. The Li Consortium is not very interested in this aspect. If they want to take over at the government's price, I'm afraid it's a bit too much for granted.

Even if the queen doesn't care about national politics, the current situation in England makes her feel worried. The continued sluggish economy and high unemployment rate make her have to care about the government's solution.

The queen said worriedly: "I also support your reform this time. I hope you can lead the country out of the current quagmire. We must not sink like this. It's just reform. During the process, you must grasp the scale and pay attention to the emotions of the people. Don’t cause any turmoil, the coal industry has had a lot of problems recently.”

The prime minister has no intention of compromising. Reform is imperative. Since the coal industry chooses to do this, they will have to pay the price.

Tianyu Bank, a subsidiary of Li's consortium, has the strength to become a note-issuing bank, but their government is unwilling to let Li's consortium get it easily.

There is a big difference between whether there is the right to issue banknotes. Currently, the Heung Kong Bank Committee has 12 executive members. Among them, only HSBC and Standard Chartered are permanent members, and the chairman of the Bank Committee also takes turns. Even Tianyu Bank, Heung Kong Bank, The Bank of East Asia is so strong, but it is still not qualified. The main reason is that the two major banks have the right to issue banknotes.

Now that Xiangjiang is destined to return to the mainland, Yinglun also knows that he has no ability to control Xiangjiang. At this time, the domestic economy needs the contribution of the Lee Consortium, and it is not impossible to give up the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes to the Li Consortium.

Li's consortium has the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, which has no impact on them. It is better to give up this weak point to the Li's consortium in exchange for better domestic development.

The Prime Minister said: "Queen, I will pay attention to this aspect. Please believe me. After the implementation of this reform, the British economy will definitely be reversed, and England will usher in a new round of rapid development."

Now the prime minister needs the queen to use her influence to help the government strengthen the confidence of the people so that the people can support the government's reform and development.

The queen's reputation among the people in the country is very high. As long as the queen expresses her support for the government reform plan, it will bring huge benefits to her governance.

The success of the reform is related to the Conservative Party and whether she can continue to be the ruling party and the prime minister. She can only succeed and not fail. Once she fails, her political career will be completely over after the end of this term.
