Rebirth of England.

Chapter 969 Super Fund
Of course, Barron does not mean that the relationship between Britain and Russia will shift from the usual hostility to close cooperation.

It just needs to be adjusted based on the country’s interests…and most importantly, his own interests.

In fact, this is not contradictory to some extent.

What needs to be understood is that Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. Although they are now one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, their economic size is about to be surpassed by India. In Barron's confrontation with certain capital in the United States, relying solely on Britain cannot provide him with sufficient support. Therefore, he needs to achieve his goal by balancing various forces.

At least until he gains stronger support in America in 2015.

If Britain puts its own interests first, then flexible diplomacy between Europe, Russia and the United States will be crucial. He does not want Britain to continue to play the role of "anti-Russian vanguard."

"We can make some verbal changes to the relationship, Your Highness, but it is not so easy to change the diplomatic strategy. It requires careful analysis."

William Hague's words also showed his attitude. He could support His Royal Highness the Duke. He believed that Cameron would make such a choice now, but it would be limited to a certain extent. After all, this kind of diplomatic strategy cannot be changed at will.

Often when you see a politician's attitude towards something suddenly change 180 degrees, it often just means that he or the interests he represents are using it as a bargaining chip and are ready to bargain.

Because such drastic changes in the short term often do not meet the conditions for actual implementation.

Only after careful analysis can we truly change the course of action, and such changes are often not achieved overnight. As the saying goes, "it is difficult to turn a big ship around", the more it involves adjustments to a large system, the more it needs to be done gradually.

The fleet did not return directly to London, but landed at Yanjing Airport.

After visiting Russia, Foreign Secretary William Hague's next stop is China.

In his public speeches and statements, during his visit to China this time, Haig talked about deepening economic and cultural cooperation with China.

The main purpose is to implement the package of cooperation agreed upon during Cameron’s previous visit and to reaffirm the sincerity of the cooperation between the two sides.

In terms of economy, most of the agreements signed previously have entered the implementation stage; and in terms of culture, the cultural exchange activities between the two sides have also achieved considerable results.

The "China-UK Cultural Exchange Year" originally scheduled for 2015 was brought forward to next year, 2014, because of the previous visit.

At that time, the "British Cultural Season" will be held in China in the first half of next year, and the "Chinese Cultural Season" will be held in England in the second half of the year. Hague will also reconfirm the holding of this event with the Chinese side.

In addition, the summer exchange activities between college students from both sides sponsored by the Devonshire Foundation last year were also very successful. Not only did 50 college students from each side experience the development and culture of the other side, but these college students also recorded their visits in the form of videos and posted them on their respective social media, which caused a lot of repercussions in both societies and changed many people's impressions of each other. In particular, many British people saw the real scenes of Chinese cities including Shanghai and Hangzhou for the first time under the "special" filters of media such as the BBC, and were more shocked.

Unlike Haig's more official attitude, Barron received a special meeting with the big boss after arriving in Yanjing.

After all, as the Western entrepreneur with the largest investment in China, he is also highly valued by the Chinese side.

This time, the United Energy Group controlled by him will continue to deepen its cooperation with China's "Big Three Oil Companies" - in addition to the United Energy Group's oil and gas blocks in Thailand, Indonesia and other places in Southeast Asia, which will be jointly developed with CNPC, CNOOC and others, they will also outsource part of the mining business in the oil and gas blocks in Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea region to Chinese oil service companies.

In addition, regarding the "Belt and Road" strategic plans of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "9st Century Maritime Silk Road" proposed by China in September and October this year respectively, Baron also expressed his great interest in this concept when meeting with the bigwigs, and believed that it would be a grand plan to connect the most promising regions in the world, and many of his industries were willing to join this plan.

You should know that, first of all, in the financial field, Standard Chartered Bank, a subsidiary of Standard Chartered Merrill Lynch Group, had its main markets in emerging countries such as Asia and Africa. The distribution of its markets has a great overlap with the "Belt and Road" plan. Participating in this plan will be of great benefit to the development of Standard Chartered Bank.

In addition, Greece and Kolo, where Barron invested, are both important shipping nodes of the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". The Port of Piraeus in Greece is the largest port in the Mediterranean and was jointly invested and developed by Peninsula Oriental Group and China COSCO Group; and the Port of Loti in Kolo is the largest port in West Africa and is also of extraordinary significance for radiating West Africa.

Even if it is based on considerations of interests, joining the "Belt and Road" initiative will promote many of his industries.

What's more, this is also a risk hedging strategy for his industrial layout. Barron, who knows the future development of the world situation, will naturally not All in all his industries in the American camp. Otherwise, he will inevitably be like other Wall Street capitalists, whose heads are determined by their buttocks. Because of the binding of interests, he will have to fight against the rising new forces with all his strength.

"We are about to set up a super fund of US$650 billion to invest in emerging markets. We believe that these investments will promote your country's 'Belt and Road' initiative."

The super fund with a scale of up to 650 billion US dollars proposed by Barron also aroused the interest of China.

This one is called Vision Fund... Uh, sorry, Sun Zhengyi, I guess you have to think of another name for the future "100 billion fund".

However, now that Middle Eastern capital is cooperating more closely with Barron's, and SoftBank's stake in Alibaba has been severely compressed, it is still difficult to say whether Sun Zhengyi will be able to raise funds for his fund as smoothly as in the original time and space.

The total capital of Baron's Vision Fund is $650 billion, which will come from the $500 billion he previously obtained from Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries, as well as the profits from this short-selling operation.

In fact, a considerable portion of the funds from this fund, which he claims will "invest in emerging markets," will be used to support Barron's industries in their layout in the "Europe-Asia-Africa" ​​strategy.

For example, United Energy Group's investments in Romania, Azerbaijan and other countries will be obtained by issuing additional shares to the Vision Fund.
