Chapter 914 Temporary Suspension
Li Guangyu had a two-hour long talk with Mitterrand in the afternoon, but the issue of corporate acquisitions was not involved.

The two talked more about changes in the world economy, views on economic reform in England, and the rapid development of the Asian economy.

In the evening, Li Guangyu had a discussion with the Mayor of Paris, Schwach Picasso.

As one of the people closely related to Li's consortium, Schwach Bissau naturally hoped that the more industries the Li's consortium had in France, the better. Only in this way would it be more beneficial to him and his camp.

What happened this morning was something he was extremely unwilling to see, and it also made him deeply feel the difficulty of implementing Chirac's policies.

And at the meeting today, some people have bombarded the Lee consortium and questioned Chirac's economic reforms.

His meeting with Li Guangyu tonight was also entrusted by Chirac. He hoped that Li Guangyu's plan to invest in France would not be affected by this morning's incident.

In the meeting room of the Regal Hotel, Schwach Bissau said: "Mr. Li, Prime Minister Chirac asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. Due to the current domestic political situation, we have no way to fully control the domestic situation for the time being. The current situation, whether the economy is going to the left or the right, the debate is still very fierce, I hope you can understand our difficulties."

Co-governance between left and right is rare in the French political arena, which creates a lot of uncertainty in the government's policies. In particular, it is difficult for the left-wing camp and the right-wing camp to develop in the same direction, and often run counter to each other.

Especially in some major industries, the left-wing camp headed by President Mitterrand has always insisted on state-run operations, while the right-wing camp headed by Chirac advocates private companies to enhance the vitality of market competition.

This is not just a collision of political views between the two sides, but also a collision between public ownership and private ownership. Now that there is a duopoly, many policies will be repeated, and policies introduced by one party will be strongly resisted by the other.

Li Guangyu said: "I fully understand the difficulties you are facing, but I believe that Mr. Chirac's appointment as Prime Minister will be a good start. In the future, France will achieve rapid economic development under his administration. The current difficulties are just a test for you. , our Lee Foundation is willing to join hands with you to face the current challenges."

Regardless of whether Li Guangyu is sincere or not, at least these words make Schwach Piso very comfortable. It is a huge victory for Chirac to reach the position of prime minister and to be able to achieve co-governance with the left camp. At least now they have enough voice.

In order to firmly grasp the right to speak, and even kick the leftist camp out of the French political situation in the future, they need more support, and the Lee Consortium is naturally one of the objects they need to make friends with.

He said to Li Guangyu: "Our policy is open to outside capital, and our country's laws will also protect the legitimate interests of entrepreneurs. No force can cross this red line, so you don't have to worry about losing your business in France. Without protection, private property is sacred and inviolable, as long as the business operates legally, no one can damage your business, let alone encroachment.”

Li Guangyu is not worried that his property will disappear if he says it does not exist in France. For his little assets here, it is not worth the embarrassment of France.

Li Guangyu asked: "I don't know if there will be any changes in the sale of the company proposed by Mr. Chirac. Can this negotiation continue?"

They already knew the people behind the organization of the parade. Among them were senior personnel from the Saint-Gobain Industrial Group and the French Thomson Company that Chirac was planning to discuss with Li Guangyu.

The worst thing is that these two companies have already started a strike to threaten the government. They will only resume work if the government promises not to sell the company.

Now their high-level government is conducting research and discussions on this matter. It is unknown whether the negotiations can continue.

He said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, I'm very sorry. Some companies have some problems. Our government needs to solve them before transferring and selling them. This will also avoid causing trouble for you."

Li Guangyu knew that France might not be able to acquire their companies in a short time. Chirac's time in power was still too short, and he still didn't have enough control over the situation. Therefore, some policies would not be able to be implemented when they were implemented.

Now it seems to me that we should focus on England. At present, the privatization of most countries in Western Europe has not started on a large scale, and it is quite difficult for him to get involved.

For example, this time in France, if he came later and waited for the large-scale privatization of France to start, such a situation would not have happened.

Li Guangyu knew that he was still too impatient, and always wanted to occupy the markets in various places as soon as possible, so that he came here before the time was right, which would only add countless difficulties to himself.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I am optimistic that the French market will never change, and the close cooperation with you will not change. At the same time, I am very grateful for your consideration for us. I also hope that you can resolve these matters as soon as possible. The initiative is firmly in our own hands.”

Although he could not achieve his goal this time, Li Guangyu would not give up his friendly relationship with Chirac and Schwach Piso. As long as his relationship with them existed, Li Guangyu would be able to enter the French market at any time.

As one of the three major powers in Western Europe, France will play a very important role in the EU in the future. Li Guangyu will not withdraw from the French market unless it is absolutely necessary.

Schwach Bissau responded: "We also very much hope to maintain a long-term friendship with the Lee Consortium. This time, we were too impatient. We just wanted to complete our plan as soon as possible after we went up, so that this happened. Case.

Chirac has already prepared to suspend the privatization of some enterprises. The most important thing at present is to stabilize our power. After all the preparations are ready, we will start the privatization reform again. At that time, with the support of data and evidence, we will reform Nor will there be much opposition. "

Chirac's right camp is now preparing to conduct a large-scale review of state-owned enterprises, especially financial reviews. They don't believe that there is nothing wrong with it. Just let them find a lot of evidence and see how the left camp can argue.

That's fine, the French state-owned enterprises are expected to set off a storm at that time. If there is no problem, Li Guangyu will not believe it. If everyone is upright and responsible, the French economy will not be what it is now.

Li Guangyu said: "I am very supportive of your decision. If you need our support, you can contact our person in charge in Paris, or you can directly contact Gu Zhengsheng. They will try their best to help you."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for supporting us. It's getting late now, so I won't disturb your rest. I'll take my leave first."

Li Guangyu sent Schwach Piso out of the hotel, and returned to his room after he drove away.

Now that the acquisitions in France are temporarily suspended, he can only turn his attention to England. Fortunately, the government there is quite thorough in privatization, and there is no restriction on Li's consortium. Li Guangyu is going to buy some good companies.
