Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 609 The ugly capitalist

It didn't take long for the challenge to begin, and Xia Yu and others who wanted to leave stopped again. They didn't leave with cheers until the challenge was successful.

It's a pity that when Elena went to her tutor, she unexpectedly learned that her tutor had gone to Cambridge University yesterday for academic exchange, and it would take three days to come back.

Although it was a pity, she could only accept it. Elena, who had packed up her mood, went to visit the campus with Xia Yu and others again, and then visited Oxford University City.

It was not until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the group returned to London, found a restaurant with an elegant environment, and sent Elena and others back home after dinner, and Xia Yu returned to his manor.

That night, while it was still daylight in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu made an international call to Gavin Peter and instructed him to acquire the Guinness Book of World Records company, and Gavin Peter readily accepted the order.

Time passed, and on May 18, the candidates for the new British cabinet were finally settled, and the weakened empire was running at high speed again.

On the evening of May 20th, Xia Yu, who was dressed in formal clothes, went to a private appreciation reception held by the Conservative Party together with Duke Carter Howard and Elena who came to London again.

The money for the reception is basically the remaining campaign funds after donations.

According to British laws and regulations, political donations can only be used for elections and other political-related activities, and cannot be used for party building, daily operations, etc.

Therefore, excess political donations are generally used for treasury payments, charitable donations, and payment of expenses related to their official duties after being elected.

Of course, how the money is paid out will definitely have a name in it, and there will be a lot of room for manipulative action. The money comes from donations, and of course it can also be used for the banquet to thank the donors.

This time, although the banquet was held in the name of the Conservative Party, it could actually be regarded as Margaret Thatcher's private banquet.

When Xia Yu, Duke Carter Howard and others arrived, there were already quite a few people in the venue. They glanced at at least seventy or eighty people, gathered together in twos and threes to talk, and glanced at the door from time to time to observe the newcomers.

Duke Carter Howard, as a rare Duke in the United Kingdom, is still the kind with a deep family background. He has a strong influence in the energy, mining, finance and other industries. His presence naturally attracted the attention of most people.

Of course, Xia Yu, who came with Duke Carter Howard, also made a group of people look at him. After so long, Xia Yu finally gained some popularity, so some insiders whispered to their friends.

Xia Yu didn't change his face, and kept a calm smile throughout the whole process. When his eyes crossed people, he calmly smiled and nodded.

After a quick glance around, Xia Yu found that Gerald Pat was also in a corner. After all, he was in London, and it was normal for him, the leader of the city of London, to be present.

There were so many people, Xia Yu and Gerald Pater didn't want to overly expose their relationship, so they stopped paying attention to each other after nodding their heads.

After walking into the crowd, Xia Yu was good at dancing and skillfully started his communication process.

Time passed, and people came one after another. The number of people in the audience exceeded 100, and many senior members of the Conservative Party came. In addition to Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister, there were also the Minister of Commerce and the Ministry of Energy. Ministers, Ministers of Defense and other government leaders, these people are high-level Conservatives, hold important positions in Margaret's cabinet, and are strong subordinates of Margaret.

The process of the banquet was still the same routine. After the simple ceremony and speeches, the communication continued. Margaret and other senior Conservative Party leaders scattered among the crowd and chatted with the guests. It was so lively!

"Xia Yu, my father asked me to tell you to be prepared. He has already prepared the ground. Later, Ms. Margaret should ask you some questions, so answer carefully."

Just when Xia Yu came to the food area to get the fruit, the pure and beautiful Elena quietly came to Xia Yu and whispered in his ear.

Xia Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded to Elena with a smile and said, "I see."

really,

In less than two minutes, Xia Yu saw Margaret finish talking with someone and walked straight towards him with a wine glass in hand.

"Ms. Margaret, hello!"

Xia Yu took the lead with a slight bow and a smile to say hello. On this occasion, Margaret thanked the donors as the leader of the Conservative Party, so Xia Yu did not call him the Prime Minister, not only him, but also everyone present.

With a gentle smile on Margaret's face, she thanked: "Mr. Xia, it's a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for your recognition and support of the Conservative Party. Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you."

As she said that, she lifted the wine glass and tilted the mouth of the glass slightly towards Xia Yu. Xia Yu understood it and clinked the glass to take a sip.

"Ms. Margaret, I believe that under your wise leadership, the United Kingdom will surely emerge from the economic quagmire, and your glorious deeds will be left in the history of the United Kingdom."

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your blessing!"

After a few greetings, time was precious, and Margaret began to test.

Just listen to her question: "Mr. Xia, I know you are from Xiangjiang, and in the UK, you are the most outstanding person among the Chinese. In order to better manage this country, I urgently need a lot of opinions and suggestions. Sir, I would like to hear your views on the UK, any aspect, such as people's livelihood, economics or...politics?"

"coming!"

Xia Yu's heart froze slightly, but his face remained calm and thoughtful. After a few seconds, he looked at the smiling Margaret and said calmly, "Ms. Margaret, then I will show my ugliness, Let me explain my personal opinion, and please forgive me if I am wrong."

"Please!"

Margaret smiled, gestured please, and seemed to listen.

"In my opinion, each system is time-sensitive and plays different roles at different stages. For example, the existing state-owned economic system in the UK has played a very important role in restoring infrastructure and restarting strategically important industrial fields after World War II. effect."

"However, since the 1960s, especially in the 1970s, the world economy has changed more and more rapidly, technological innovation has emerged one after another, and competition has become increasingly fierce, and the shortcomings of the state-owned economy have emerged, production efficiency cannot keep up with the times, and the occurrence of The oil crisis has dealt a severe blow to British heavy industry."

"Under this circumstance, the Labour Party is reluctant to make progress. Only you have real insight and realize that the state-owned economic model is no longer suitable. The economic reform strategy proposed is very feasible, which allows us businessmen to see the dawn and business opportunities."

"In my opinion, under the leadership of you and the Conservative Party, Britain's economy is about to rise, and there are business opportunities everywhere. After all, Hong Kong is too small, so I am here."

Xia Yu explained, Margaret kept smiling, nodding from time to time, so that Xia Yu could not see whether she agreed with his words under her smile.

"It is a great honor for Mr. Xia to recognize the UK. The development of the UK economy is inseparable from foreign capital. Your investment will play a significant role in the UK. I believe that the UK market will not disappoint you."

Margaret said with a smile.

"I'm relieved with your words."

Xia Yu showed a relieved smile, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, I can invest more boldly. If I find other opportunities in the UK, I will increase my investment and invest 500 million pounds in the UK. Of course, the premise is that there are suitable investment opportunities.”

One product and two owners, Xia Yu was about to invest in the UK on a large scale. He also promised Gerard Patt before. At this time, he used another 500 million pounds to lure Margaret. Anyway, he just said that he would invest in the UK and London. Doesn't it belong to the UK?

As soon as these words came out, Margaret was instantly moved. She took a deep look at the smiling Xia Yu, and asked again seriously, "Mr. Xia, are you sure you will invest 500 million pounds?"

Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I have already prepared the funds. As long as the UK welcomes foreign investors like us, then I don't think the funds will go to the United States, France or Germany."

Xia Yu's meaningful words moved Margaret's heart. She said sincerely: "I can guarantee that the UK is ready to welcome capital from all over the world."

Margaret can't say it at this time. After all, Xia Yu used the word "we". If he refuses even his £500 million investment, if it spreads out, it will put the Conservative Party and her personally at risk. An extremely disadvantageous situation, which is contrary to her campaign policy and will seriously damage her ruling foundation.

Xia Yu joined her for the purpose of Rolls-Royce Motor Company, and now the investment of 500 million pounds has been tied to the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Company.

To be honest, Margaret could not refuse the investment of 500 million pounds. The temptation is too great. If she invests in the UK, it will have a positive effect on the economy and her economic reform. huge effect.

But thinking of the investigation information about Xia Yu, Margaret was not at ease.

After being stabbed by Xia Yu, she was not to be outdone and would go back: "Mr. Xia, we welcome any capital with goodwill towards Britain."

"By the way, I heard that you have a large-scale investment in the mainland. I don't know why you made such a choice?"

After speaking, Margaret looked at Xia Yu with a burning gaze.

Xia Yu knew that she would ask this question. The deep meaning of the question directly pointed to his position. The word "goodwill capital" was the wiggle room she created for herself.

Xia Yu said calmly: "There is indeed a little investment, but the scale is not large."

"You should know the nature of capital. Compared with Hong Kong, the mainland has extremely cheap labor. For the money of one worker in Hong Kong, you can hire more than ten workers in the mainland, and the land in the mainland is extremely cheap. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises, I have to go, if you were me, what would you choose?"

Margaret was at a loss for words. Her question was about her position, but Xia Yu answered her from the perspective of capital and business. However, Xia Yu's answer was well-founded. She couldn't refute it at all. She could never make Xia Yu must. Run a business in Hong Kong or the UK, and then lead to a decline in competitiveness, and eventually go bankrupt, right?

Seeing the embarrassment on Margaret's face, Xia Yu knew that he had to stop, so he smiled and said: "Of course, we capitalists like business opportunities. If there is a business opportunity in the United States, I will go to the United States, and if there is an opportunity in France, I will go to France. , now I think the UK has an opportunity, so I plan to invest in the UK on a large scale."

"The nature of capital is destined that I have to do this regardless of whether I am active or passive. If there are greater opportunities in the mainland, I will invest in the mainland. If there are more opportunities in the UK than in the mainland, of course my limited funds are more willing to invest in the UK. contribute."

"I think I am a qualified capitalist. My favorite is only money, and the rest are not important."

At this time, Xia Yu looked like it was a matter of course, with the ugly face of a capitalist, but he still spoke in a holy way, which made Margaret suddenly feel sick, and secretly said "ugly capitalist" in her heart.

Xia Yu almost believed what Xia Yu said. Would the UK have more opportunities than the mainland? Don't even think about it!

Moreover, his current strength is not enough to make Britain fearful. In order to win her trust and develop himself better, he must fool Margaret and make her less wary of him.

For the great cause of the motherland and his great wealth, now he is just covering himself with a layer of skin. There is no grievance at all. Instead, he makes himself safer and more wise!

As long as Margaret's suspicions are dispelled, he will invest in the mainland in the future, and it will be difficult for Margaret to do anything to him, and the benefits will be long-term.

It has to be said that Xia Yu's ugly face of a natural capitalist made Margaret nauseated and at the same time greatly reduced her doubts about Xia Yu's position.

Although the British MI6 is awesome, it is absolutely impossible to infiltrate the upper echelons of the mainland.

It was impossible for Margaret to know that Xia Yu was discussing with the mainland high-level officials, and naturally she did not know Xia Yu's true position, so she could only be suspicious of Xia Yu's investment in the mainland.

Otherwise, now it's not chatting with Xia Yu at the private banquet she organized, and Xia Yu doesn't even want to enter this door.

Now that Xia Yu's explanation makes perfect sense, she has no reason to hold on to it any longer.

Talking with Xia Yu again would be like that, not to mention that she had talked to Xia Yu long enough at this time, and there were still many people waiting for her to entertain at the banquet.

So she didn't stay any longer, left a word and left.

"Mr. Xia, please believe that under the governance of our Conservative Party, the business environment and market in the UK will be the best in the world. Your choice is absolutely correct. I look forward to your investment!"

It's done!

Hearing this sentence, Xia Yu secretly thought that he still succeeded in playing Margaret.

It's no wonder that Margaret was tricked. Xia Yu thought to himself that his acting skills just now can definitely win an Oscar statuette, not to mention Margaret. In the case of unequal information, other old foxes will also be tricked when they come. Round and round.

Elena, who had been observing not far away, saw Margaret leaving, she immediately came over, looked at Xia Yu expectantly and asked, "Xia Yu, did Ms. Margaret agree?"

Looking at the expectation in Elena's eyes, Xia Yu nodded with a smile: "It should be fine, I'll have to work hard for you again."

Elena smiled like a blooming peony, and said happily: "It's not hard, this is what I should do."

When his wish was fulfilled, Xia Yu felt relaxed and continued to communicate.

Sure enough, when it came to the end, after going out, Duke Carter Howard gave Xia Yu an affirmative answer. Margaret agreed, and just privately ordered the Ministry of Defense to approve the Bright Fund's agreement on Rolls-Royce Motor Company. Purchase invitation.

Sure enough, the next morning, the long-stagnant acquisition process began to advance by leaps and bounds. Elena brought the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition team and the British Defense Equipment Group into the substantial negotiation process.
