v2 Chapter 609： Ugly capitalist

Before long, the challenge began. Xia Yu and others who had wanted to leave stopped again. They left with cheers until the challenge was successful.

Unfortunately, when Elena went to find her tutor, she unexpectedly learned that her tutor had gone to Cambridge University for academic exchanges yesterday, and it would take three days to return.

Although regretful, she could only accept it. Elena, who was in a good mood, once again strolled around the campus with Xia Yu and others, and then visited Oxford University City.

It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon that the group returned to London, found an elegant restaurant and had dinner and sent Elena and the others back home, before Xia Yu returned to his manor.

That night, while Xiangjiang was still in the daytime, Xia Yu made an international long distance call to Gavin Peter and ordered him to purchase the Guinness World Records Company. Gavin Peter was pleased to take the lead.

Time flies, and on May 18, the candidates for the new British cabinet have finally settled, and the weakened empire is once again operating at high speed.

On the evening of May 20th, Xia Yu in a formal suit and Duke Carter Howard who came to London again, and Elena, the three went to a private appreciation reception organized by the Conservative Party.

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

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

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

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

Although this banquet was held in the name of the Conservative Party, it can actually be regarded as Margaret Thatcher’s private banquet. It has a higher standard, and only one party can come.

When Xia Yu, Duke Carter Howard and others arrived, there were already many people in the venue. At a glance, they swept away at least the number seventy or eighty, and they got together to talk in twos and threes, and their eyes swept to the door from time to time to observe the newcomers.

Duke Carter Howard is one of the few dukes in the UK, and he has a strong family background. He has a strong influence in energy, mining, finance and other industries. His presence naturally attracted the attention of most people.

Of course, the special face of 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 friends next to him.

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

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

There are so many people, Xia Yu and Gerald Pat don't want to expose their relationship too much, and no longer pay attention to each other after nodding.

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

Time passed, and there were more than 100 people in the audience. There were many high-level Conservative Party leaders, including the Prime Minister of Margaret Thatcher, the Minister of Commerce and the Ministry of Energy. Ministers, Ministers of Defense and other government leaders, these people are the high-level of the Conservative Party, who hold important positions in Margaret's cabinet and are Margaret's powerful subordinates.

The process of the banquet was still the usual process. After the simple ceremonies and speeches, the communication continued. Margaret and other Conservative Party seniors scattered among the crowd, chatting with the guests, it was so lively!

"Xia Yu, my dad asked me to tell you to be prepared. He has already laid the groundwork. Ms. Margaret should ask you some questions later, and answer them carefully."

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

Xia Yu's eyes flickered, smiled and nodded to Elena and said, "I see."

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, Xia Yu saw Margaret finish talking with a person and walked straight towards him with a wine glass.

"Ms. Margaret, hello!"

Xia Yu bowed slightly and said hello with a smile. On this occasion, Margaret thanked the donor as the leader of the Conservative Party, so Xia Yu did not call him Prime Minister, not only him, but everyone present.

A gentle smile appeared on Margaret’s face and thanked: "Mr. Xia, I am very glad to see you again. Thank you for your recognition and support of the Conservative Party. Allow me to extend my sincerest thanks to you."

As she said, she lifted the glass, the mouth of the glass slightly tilted towards Xia Yu, Xia Yu understood, and instead clinked the glass and took a sip.

"Ms. Margaret, I believe that under your wise leadership, Britain will surely get out of the economic quagmire, and your glorious deeds will be left in the history of Britain."

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

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

Just listen to her inquiries: "Mr. Xia, I know that you are from Hong Kong, and in the UK, you are the most outstanding person among the Chinese. In order to better govern this country, I urgently need a lot of opinions and suggestions. You are a foreign investment. Well, I want to hear your views on the UK, whichever aspect is fine, such as people’s livelihood, economy or...politics?"

"coming!"

Xia Yu's heart was slightly cold, but his face was calm, thinking, and after a few seconds, he looked at the smiling Margaret and said calmly: "Ms. Margaret, then I will be ugly. Explain my personal opinion, and please forgive me if there is something wrong."

"please!"

Margaret smiled and made a please gesture, and made an appearance of listening.

"In my opinion, each system has timeliness and has different functions at different stages. For example, the existing state-owned economic system in the UK played a very important role in restoring infrastructure and restarting strategically important industrial sectors after World War II. Role."

"However, beginning in the 1960s, especially in the 1970s, the world economy has changed faster and faster, technological innovations have emerged one after another, competition has become more fierce, and the drawbacks of the state-owned economy have appeared. Production efficiency has not kept up with the times. The oil crisis has dealt a serious blow to British heavy industry."

"Under such circumstances, the Labor Party is not enterprising. Only you are insightful and realize that the state-owned economic model is no longer appropriate. The economic reform strategy proposed is extremely feasible. This allows us businessmen to see the dawn and business opportunities."

"In my opinion, under the leadership of you and the Conservative Party, the UK economy is about to rise, and there are business opportunities everywhere. After all, Xiangjiang is too small, so I came."

Xia Yu said, Margaret kept smiling and nodded from time to time, so that Xia Yu couldn't see whether she agreed with him or not under her smile.

"It is a great honor for Mr. Xia to recognize the United Kingdom. The development of the British economy cannot be separated from external funds. Your investment will play a significant role in the United Kingdom. I believe that the British market will not disappoint you."

Margaret said with a smile.

"I'm relieved with your words."

Xia Yu smiled at ease, pondered for a moment, and solemnly said: "In this case, I can invest more boldly. If I find other opportunities in the UK, I will increase my investment and use 500 million pounds of funds to invest in the UK. Of course, the premise is that there are suitable investment opportunities."

One cargo and two masters, Xia Yu was about to invest in the UK on a large scale. He also promised Gerard Pat before. At this time, he used 500 million pounds to lure Margaret. Anyway, he just said to invest in the UK, London Doesn’t it belong to the UK too!

As soon as she said this, Margaret was immediately moved. She took a deep look at Xia Yu who was smiling, and once again seriously confirmed and asked: "Mr. Xia, are you sure you will invest 500 million pounds?"

Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I have the funds ready. 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 Yuman's profound words moved Margaret's heart. She said sincerely: "I can assure you that Britain is ready to welcome capital from all over the world."

Margaret won’t be able to say that at this time. After all, Xia Yu uses the word "we". If he refuses even his 500 million pounds investment, if it goes out, it will put the Conservative Party and her personally on The extremely disadvantaged situation, which is contrary to her campaign policy, will seriously damage her ruling foundation.

Xia Yu brought her into the army, with the goal still for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Now the 500 million pounds investment has been tied to the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

To be honest, Margaret could not refuse the investment of 500 million pounds at all. This temptation is too great. If it is really invested in the UK, it will have a positive effect on the economy and will also play a role in her economic reform. Great effect.

But thinking about Xia Yu's investigation information, Margaret was not relieved.

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

"By the way, I heard that you have large-scale investment in the mainland. I wonder why you made such a choice?"

After speaking, Margaret looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes.

Xia Yu knew that she would ask this question, and the meaning of the question directly refers to his position. The term "good faith capital" is the leeway she created for herself.

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

"You should know the nature of capital. Compared with Xiangjiang, the mainland has extremely cheap labor. If you hire a worker in Xiangjiang, 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, how would you choose?"

Margaret is speechless, her question is about the position, but Xia Yu answered her from the perspective of capital and business. However, Xia Yu's answer is justified and she can't refute it. She can never make Xia Yu have to. Doing business in Hong Kong or the UK will lead to a decline in competitiveness and eventually go bankrupt, right?

Seeing Marguerite’s expression a little embarrassing, Xia Yu knew that enough was enough, so he smiled and said, "Of course, we capitalists like business opportunities. If the United States has business opportunities, I will go to the United States, and France will go to France when there are opportunities. Now I think the UK has a chance, so I plan to invest in the UK on a large scale."

"The nature of capital destined me to do this no matter whether I am active or passive. If the mainland has greater opportunities, I will invest in the mainland. If the UK has more opportunities than the mainland, of course I am more willing to help the UK with limited funds. Make a contribution."

"I think I can be regarded as a qualified capitalist. My favorite is money, and the others are not important."

At this time, Xia Yu looked like it was taken for granted, completely the ugly face of a capitalist, but he still spoke in a sacred manner, which made Margaret suddenly feel sick and secretly said "ugly capitalist" in his heart.

What Xia Yu said, he almost believed it himself. Will the UK have more opportunities than the mainland? Don't even think about it!

Moreover, his current strength is not enough to make Britain jealous. In order to win her trust and make himself better, he must fool Margaret and let her reduce his vigilance.

For the great cause of the motherland and his own great money, now he is just covering himself, there is no grievance at all, but to make himself safer and more wise!

As long as Margaret's suspicion is dispelled, he will invest in the mainland in the future, without showing his feet, it will be difficult for Margaret to do anything to him. The benefits will be long-term.

I have to say that Xia Yu's ugly face of a capitalist, as it is taken for granted, made Margaret nauseous, and at the same time it greatly reduced the doubt about Xia Yu's position.

Although the UK's MI6 is strong, it is absolutely impossible to infiltrate the mainland high-levels.

It was impossible for Margaret to know what Xia Yu was discussing with the mainland executives, and naturally she did not know Xia Yu's true position, so she could only question Xia Yu's investment in the mainland.

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

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

It will be the same if we continue to talk with Xia Yu, not to mention that she has been talking to Xia Yu for long enough There are still many people waiting for her to entertain at the banquet.

So she stopped staying, leaving 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. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your choice. Look forward to your investment!"

This is done!

Hearing these words, Xia Yu secretly said in his heart that he still managed to play Marguerite.

It’s not that Margaret was fooled. Xia Yu thought to herself that his acting just now would definitely win an Oscar figurine. Not to mention Margaret, other old foxes were also fooled when they came. Turn around in circles.

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

Seeing the expectation in Elena's eyes, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "It should be no problem, and you will have to work hard again."

Elena's smile bloomed like a peony in full bloom, and she said with joy: "No hard work, this is what I should do."

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

Sure enough, when it came to the end, after going out, Duke Carter Howard gave Xia Yu a positive answer. Margaret agreed, and just privately issued an order to the Ministry of Defense to approve the approval of the Bright Fund regarding Rolls Royce Motor Company. Takeover invitation.

Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, the long-stalled acquisition process began to advance by leaps and bounds, and Elena took the Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquisition team into a substantial negotiation process with the British Defense Equipment Group.
