Rebirth of England.

Chapter 878 Huge Scale
But at this time, Barron came to Paris.

On November 11, Ashley Weber gave birth to a boy in Paris, whom they eventually named Victor Weber.

Well, it’s worth mentioning that Ashley initially preferred the name Pène, but was rejected by Barron. After all, if it was Pan Weber...OMG!

After completing the acquisition of Commerzbank, Ashley finally rested in Paris and gave birth to her child.

Fortunately, Paris is not far from London, so Barron can spend some time here with her and her son.

Until December 12, Barron temporarily left Paris.

"I want to spend more time with you, but this matter is very important. I will come to see you again after I come back, which should not take more than a week..."

"I understand, dear, don't worry."

The reason why Barron needs to leave at this time is because he will go to China with Cameron.

In the original time and space, Cameron led a delegation to visit China a year later, in December 2013.

However, for some reasons, he brought forward his visit to China - one of the reasons was naturally the pressure exerted by the United States on the LIBOR setting of the London Stock Exchange.

Of course, Barron also pushed this...

Especially at the moment when the United States proposed the Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy after Obama's trip to Southeast Asia, Cameron's trip will express his willingness to increase cooperation with China and will also send a message to Washington - if Britain is pushed too hard, then Britain and the European Union still have other options, at least in terms of economy.

After all, although the United States had the "Asia-Pacific Rebalancing" strategy in military and political terms at that time, it still had to cooperate with China to a certain extent in economy, and it had not yet reached the level of tension that would occur later.

Before leaving for China, Cameron had already warmed up for the trip...

On December 12, Cameron visited the Victoria and Albert Museum in London to visit the special exhibition of famous ancient Chinese paintings.

Relying on the residual memory of art history learned in high school more than 30 years ago, Cameron praised Song Huizong's "Auspicious Crane Picture" and said:

"This is hundreds of years older than Leonardo da Vinci's work."

He also met with British students who were learning Chinese at 10 Downing Street and encouraged them to learn Chinese well...

In addition, he even opened a Weibo account and posted his first message:
"Hello friends in China, I am very happy to join Weibo. I look forward to visiting China soon!"

This Weibo account named "British Prime Minister" attracted more than 1 fans in just one day after its launch.

And because the account did not have real-name authentication, that is, "V", it was even once considered to be fake... In fact, in the original time and space, there was another reason why Cameron visited the East for the second time in 2013. That was because in 2012, due to a meeting, the relationship between the two sides reached a freezing point.

In this time and space, Barron would naturally not allow such a thing to happen:

"Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you will think it over carefully. If you insist on going, you will see some real reports about it in some newspapers and on TV programs the next day. I believe the British people will be very interested in the truth. I don't think you want to be put in such an embarrassing situation."

So Barron sometimes looks down on these politicians. Britain has been in such a state of decline, but instead of trying to make more money, they keep doing these useless things all day long...

It's just wanting both...

For this reason, Britain does not need to wait until a year later to start repairing relations with China.

……

On December 12, Cameron landed at Yanjing Airport on a special plane, starting his visit to China.

This time, Cameron came to China with a large business team of about 150 people, which exceeded the scale of his last visit and became the largest official delegation in British history.

Barron did not come on the same plane as Cameron, but landed later on the Devonshire in a more low-key manner and did not even appear in front of the welcoming crowd.

After all, this is Cameron's visit, and he is so handsome that it would be bad for him to steal Cameron's limelight.

However, Barron also received a special reception afterwards and the atmosphere was still very good. After all, the two sides had met in Jiangsu and Zhejiang a long time ago.

The reason why he is so valued is that a considerable number of members of the British business delegation have connections with Barron.

More than ten heavyweight CEOs in the delegation, including United Energy Group, O2 Telecom, SEM Group, LOMX Group, Argos Retail Group, Woaw Technology, Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch, GHL Group, and British Motor Group, can be regarded as Barron's "subordinates". Their number accounts for more than one-tenth of the delegation, which is a huge scale.

Moreover, before that, the scale of his investment in China was the largest in the entire West.

Moreover, the cooperation reached by both parties this time, in which Barron is involved, will involve an industry scale of more than 50 billion pounds, covering multiple fields such as energy, communications, finance, media, automobiles, and the Internet. In the original time and space, the 1.2 million pounds healthcare agreement between the two parties alone was widely reported by the media...

More importantly, unlike many other foreign investors, Barron’s investment in China has always been very sincere. Before this, he has always been regarded as an “old friend of the Chinese people”, so it is very normal for him to receive such attention.

"China's development is obvious to all. It has been more than ten years since I first came to China. I can say that I have never seen a country develop so fast. I believe that China will be the most important participant in the world. No investor should miss this process. I am very fortunate and proud that I have also participated in China's development and witnessed the Chinese people on the road to reviving this ancient and strong civilization..."

"Now China is no longer just the 'world factory', but has also made breakthroughs and innovations in many technological fields. We help Chinese companies sell goods to Europe and the United States, from the initial clothing and shoes to the current home appliances, mobile phones, new energy batteries and other technological products. This also shows that China has made progress in all aspects. Next, I will increase investment in China, especially in some new energy, telecommunications, chips and artificial intelligence fields. Cooperate with Chinese technical experts, hoping to jointly lead global technological innovation..."
