v3 Chapter 896： Investment in the French election

After Li Wuming verified his identity at the door, François Mitterrand led him to the innermost living room under Li Wuming.

There was only Xia Yu in the living room. Xia Yu, who had already heard the footsteps, had already got up. After seeing François Mitterrand, he had a warm smile on his face and said hello in proficient French: "Mitterrand Sir, I’m really sorry to invite you over at so late."

Rao had read Xia Yu's information before and knew that Xia Yu was very young, but when he saw the real person, François Mitterrand was still shocked.

And he did not expect that Xia Yu could speak such fluent French. If he listened with his eyes closed, he would definitely think that he was a native Frenchman.

It's incredible!

Fortunately, he is a veteran of the political arena. Although he is shocked in his heart, he does not show it. He shook hands with Xia Yu with a kind smile and said, "Mr. Xia, good evening, it is my honor to meet you."

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "It should be my honor!"

François Mitterrand exclaimed: "Mr. Xia, I didn't expect your French to speak so well. It shocked me too much. You have an enviable talent for language."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, I do have a certain talent for language. This should be the only thing that stands out for me."

François Mitterrand laughed and said, "Mr. Xia, you are so humble."

"Haha, let's sit down and say!"

Xia Yu smiled and replied, and then led François Mitterrand to sit on the sofa.

"Tea or coffee?"

"Tea bar, I heard that drinking tea after a meal can help freshen my breath. I just finished my dinner an hour ago."

François Mitterrand said with a smile, quite a familiar feeling, Xia Yu couldn't help but his eyes light up.

"Mr. Mitterrand, tea has many functions, such as health maintenance, clearing oil and relieving greasiness, and digestion. It is best to drink tea an hour after a meal."

"My tea is a new premium green tea this year. It's not available on the market. Do you like it or not."

After brewing, Xia Yu poured amber tea on the cup, held the cup with wooden tweezers and placed it in front of François Mitterrand, and said with a please gesture.

"Well, there is a charming fragrance..."

The two of them communicated in a friendly manner, and this cup of tea was an introduction, opening up the topic of their small talk.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that you have more investments in France. Are you very optimistic about the economic development of France now?"

François Mitterrand asked casually.

Xia Yu glanced at him, nodded and shook his head, and when François Mitterrand frowned, he slowly said: "I am optimistic about France and neither."

"France, as a major European economy, cannot be avoided unless I don't want to develop my career, so large-scale investment in France is inevitable."

"But I am not optimistic about the current France. Gidekar Destin has his own unique view on the economy and a broad perspective on the overall international situation. He even went to Germany last year to jointly initiate the establishment of the European Monetary Union. , He is a very capable person."

"But in the global economic downturn, especially when Europe is deeply mired in the economic quagmire, his tendency towards liberalism is not suitable for France. He has tried different methods, but the French economy has not improved."

"So I have invested in many companies in France, but when there are no major changes in France, the investment is basically that much."

Giscar Destin is François Mitterrand's opponent, and Xia Yu's evaluation of Giscar Destin makes him happy.

George Berkeley had communicated with him several times before, so he also knew some of Xia Yu's attitude.

The reason why he saw Xia Yu under the guise of coming to the island country this time was because he wanted to know Xia Yu's true attitude, which was extremely important to him.

At this time, Xia Yu picked up the topic to this level. He did not hide it and asked: "Mr. Xia, you are the world's top economic powerhouse. In your opinion, what should France do if you want to get out of the quagmire? ?"

Xia Yu smiled and said: "Although the UK has already begun the process of privatizing state-owned enterprises, it is because the state-owned enterprises in the UK are already quite bloated, but France is different from the UK."

"For now, the production efficiency of French state-owned enterprises is still higher than that of the United Kingdom, and they are not yet privatized. State-owned enterprises have the advantages of the state-owned enterprise system. The efficiency of French state-owned enterprises actually needs to be improved."

"In this economic downturn, in addition to non-livelihood industries, industries related to people's livelihood should obey the unified guidance of the government and integrate resources with all their strength to burst out more powerful energy."

Hearing Xia Yu said this, François Mitterrand smiled even more, because this is his usual economic concept.

He has always advocated progressive structural reform of the French economy through a certain degree of nationalization, planning and autonomous management on the basis of not eliminating private ownership, so as to establish a "democratic" and "free" "French style". socialism".

This concept of his has a certain market, but it is at a lower level and it is more difficult to get the support of upper-level French capital.

He also knows the drawbacks, so he has left room for ideas, and these room is left for negotiation and interest exchange with capitalists.

Just a word...

So when George Berkeley, an Englishman, approached him, he was dumbfounded at first, but after careful investigation, he was overjoyed.

To him, it doesn't matter whether the capital comes from France or Britain, as long as it is capital.

What's more, this capital does not look weak!

The French Socialist Party under his leadership is quite lacking in funding.

Not to mention that the capital that threw the olive branch to him has extremely high achievements in the media field. There is also a certain media foundation in France. As long as the other party is willing to invest, it is not difficult to expand the media power in France.

Capitalists who have funding and media support are excellent partners.

Xia Yu’s attitude has been preliminarily clarified, and the foundation for cooperation has been laid, so it is time to take the topic further.

Francois Mitterrand said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of me, and thank you for your investment in France."

"But I am sixty-four years old. The two defeats in the presidential elections have dealt a serious blow to my reputation, and the cooperation between the left-wing FG and our Socialist Party has also broken down. We do not have the advantage in front of the Republican Democratic League. No matter how many ideas I have, I may not have the opportunity to practice them."

After speaking, François Mitterrand touched himself, recalling the past of his struggle, his face a little sad.

At the age of 28, he entered the special agency of Charles de Gaulle's provisional government and became one of the fifteen secretary-generals. At that time, he was a rising political star.

However, after the establishment of the official government, he did not get the corresponding ministerial position. He joined the left-wing Democratic Social Resistance League in angrily. At the age of 30, he became a veteran appointed by the first Prime Minister of the Fourth Republic, Paul Ramadier. Minister, has become the youngest minister in France in the past 100 years, and the scenery is boundless.

He thought he could reach the top in his forties, but his fate was always unpredictable. Because of political accidents, he failed both elections.

But he did not admit defeat. In the 1976 provincial assembly and municipal elections, he led the left-wing coalition to great victories, and he was accumulating the foundation for the 1981 general election.

But who knows that Fa G, one of the two major forces in the left-wing alliance, also thought about it and competed with him, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, for leadership, and had more and more contradictions on some issues of principle. Eventually, the left-wing alliance broke down, leading to The Socialist Party lost again in the 1978 parliamentary elections, and part of the gains it achieved in 1976 was lost. This was a big blow to him.

Because he is more than six [书趣阁quge.xyz] years old.

In the history of French politics, there has never been a successful campaign in their sixties.

The general election will restart next year, and this year he is 64 years old, and the Socialist Party has not re-formed an alliance with France-G, one of the two major left-wing parties, let alone a dozen other large and small parties on the left. .

With one of his socialist parties alone, he has no confidence in breaking out of the siege.

His thoughts are also related to France’s unique system, because France is very liberal in the establishment of political parties and elections. Now, there are more than 30 large and small political parties in France and no less than 100 political clubs. Everyone is eligible to run for election.

Therefore, the general election in France is extremely uncertain. No one can say which parties will suddenly unite and which parties will suddenly betray the alliance.

Generally, the French government is formed by a multi-party coalition.

So in fact, before George Berkeley approached him, he had been hesitant to participate in the general election again.

The two failures have made him face a loss. If he fails again in the election, he will face the vast majority of voters of the Socialist Party that he has formed, and will only be very embarrassed to withdraw from politics.

But not participating in the elections may be able to maintain their dignity, while at the same time paving the way for the Socialist Party, and maybe the Socialist Party will succeed in reaching the top in the future.

He still hasn't made up his mind until now, but this doesn't prevent him from making preliminary preparations.

Even if he does not run for the election and establishes a good relationship with Xia Yu, he can still accumulate the foundation for the Socialist Party.

Politics is inseparable from capital. Meeting Xia Yu is profitable and harmless. The only reluctance to say the harm is that he needs to give some benefits to Xia Yu after success.

However, in a capitalist society, the exchange of political and capital interests is normal, and the exchange object is not Xia Yu but also other people. For him, there is no difference.

Closer to home.

Although François Mitterrand's tone was sad, Xia Yu knew that he didn't really give up, otherwise he wouldn't come to see him secretly from all over the world.

He did not expose this layer of veil, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Mitterrand, I have always believed in one sentence. This sentence will also carry out my life and will be the purpose of my future."

François Mitterrand frowned, he asked, "What is it?"

"Everything is possible!"

Xia Yu said solemnly.

François Mitterrand frowned and looked at Xia Yu deeply. He saw the firmness in Xia Yu's eyes.

He seemed to be shocked, and nodded with emotion, "You are right, everything is possible."

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your teaching. I have always thought so when I was young, but I don't know when I started, this sentence gradually faded in my mind."

Xia Yu couldn't take it down. After all, François Mitterrand was an old man in his sixties.

He immediately changed the subject and said, "Mr. Mitterrand, I wonder if you have followed the US election?"

The United States is not only one of the two giants in the world, but also the leader of NATO. Every move of the United States will have a huge impact on the world.

The president of the United States represents the will of the United States. The presidential election of the United States is naturally seen by the world. As a qualified politician, François Mitterrand must pay attention to this matter.

The situation of the US election emerged in his mind. François Mitterrand's expression moved, as if he had guessed what Xia Yu wanted to say, he nodded and said, "Of course there is concern."

Xia Yu smiled and continued: "Then you should know that Ronald Reagan has the upper hand, and he is now sixty-nine years old!"

"Once he was hesitant to run for election because of his age."

"And his background is not as good as yours."

"But in an accident, I had a good chat with him for a week, and after that I gave him strong support."

Francois Mitterrand knew the age of Ronald Reagan, but what Xia Yu talked about later was an unknown secret.

Suddenly hearing this, François Mitterrand was shocked again, his eyes widened to Xia Yu, blurted out and asked: "Mr. Xia, have you supported Reagan?"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, his political views touched me, so he gave him the support of resources worth tens of millions of dollars."

"And his political views were also accepted by David Rockefeller, so he has come to this point."

"I think your political views are no worse for France than his."

The last words of Xia Yu were quite explicit.

Tens of millions of dollars in resources!

David Rockefeller!

The amount of information revealed by Xia Yu in a few short sentences was so great that François Mitterrand's thinking was down.

His mouth squirmed, and finally he restrained his curiosity and didn't ask questions. Some things he really didn't need to know, it was troublesome to know.

Xia Yu can say, but he can't ask!

All he needs to know is that Xia Yu is indeed a golden thigh!

France is much smaller than the United States Not to mention tens of millions of dollars in resources. If Xia Yu gave him 20 million dollars in resources, it would be enough to make a huge change in his Socialist Party.

Apart from other things, at least it is more than enough for the Socialist Party to flourish in the early stage!

As long as the Socialist Party breaks through the siege, he will have the confidence to gain the support of other French consortia and large families, and there is a high probability that a virtuous circle will be formed.

At this moment, he felt that the throne of the president was not out of reach, and the dream he had struggled for decades could be realized!

Seeing the smile in Xia Yu's eyes, François Mitterrand was cruel, and decisively chose to seize the opportunity to fight again.

If he doesn't blog once, he will not be reconciled after all!

PS: A four-thousand-word chapter, the political content is too difficult to write. You can guess how many purposes there are for the layout of France. By the way, ask for a vote.
