The influence of Britain in the world determines the influence and the upper limit of their strength in the world of British big families.
For these nobles, of course, they hope that the stronger the UK, the better.
But now is not a hundred years ago, after all, the myth that the sun never sets empire has long been shattered.
Especially in the past two to three decades, as not only British colonies have established their own country, but the British influence abroad has plummeted, and its prestige has also declined.
Although most of these post-independence countries have joined the British Commonwealth organization, with the loss of various rights, the United Kingdom is very strenuous.
The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to take!
The rise of domestic capital in various countries and the capital invasion of the United States have also continuously eroded the interests of British capital.
Although Xiangjiang is a leased land, the situation is most obvious. The original four major British consortiums have been killed by Xia Yu, and the remaining one is still lingering.
From a glimpse, the Howard family's interests outside the UK are constantly declining.
Moreover, the Howard family has been a royalist since ancient times, and Duke Carter Howard is absolutely unwilling to see the influence of Britain plummet again.
And based on his understanding of Xia Yu, Xia Yu didn't need or tell lies to him.
Thinking carefully, Xia Yu said he had to be more cautious!
There was a long silence. Although he felt that Xia Yu would not tell him, Carter Howard still wanted to give it a try.
It's just that Xia Yu didn't want Duke Carter Howard to ask questions. After all, whether he said it or not, the result was not what he wanted.
So seeing Duke Carter Howard want to speak, he said first: "Sir Carter, I can use my personality to be responsible for what I say. Since you don't want to be involved, then I don't know if you can contact Prince Philip for me?"
Duke Carter Howard swallowed the words back into his stomach. He looked at Xia Yu in silence for a long time, and slowly nodded: "Yes."
...
Two flowers bloom, one on each table.
When Xia Yu was dining at the Howard family, the Rothschild family also got some information about Xia Yu.
Lohill family castle.
When Jacob Rohill was preparing to eat, he suddenly saw his cousin Evelyn Rohill coming in.
"Evelyn, you came just right, let's have a meal together."
Evelyn Lowhill glanced at the food on the table, smiled lightly and said, "Okay."
When Evelyn Rohill was on the table, the servant soon brought out a whole set of cutlery.
"Evelyn, why are you free to come back today?"
Jacob Rohill asked casually while cutting the steak.
Evelyn Rohill said immediately: "The main thing is that I got an extremely important news. I think it may have a lot to do with us, so I will come back and tell you."
Jacob Rohill moved for a while, looked up at his cousin, and asked: "What is the urgent news?"
Evelyn Rohill cut off the steak with a knife, used a fork to fork the small part, and said concisely: "Xia Yu came to London yesterday and set off for the Howard family this morning."
After speaking, he put the cow into his mouth and chewed with his mouth closed, but he looked straight at Jacob Rohill.
As expected, Jacob Rohill was very concerned about the news, frowned slightly, and after thinking about it for a moment, he suspiciously said: "He hasn't been to London for almost a year. Carter Howard, is it for the new telecommunications company?"
Evelyn Lohill shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. He has strong security forces both on the surface and in the dark. We can't detect his conversation and specific itinerary."
"But considering that the last time he joined the Howard family and Prince Philip to take down Dadong Telecom, it proved that he was very interested in the telecommunications market. So at this time, I can't think of his other purpose besides the telecommunications market."
"How is Margaret's attitude?"
Jacob Rosill shook his head slightly and said: "It's not clear for the time being. I met her and she didn't give a clear answer. We have to work harder."
Evelyn Lowhill looked slightly serious, and said in a deep voice, "Then we should pay more attention. According to the information that Charles reported from Xiangjiang, Xia Yu made a huge amount of money in this sudden stock market disaster in Xiangjiang. Profit, his Jiuding Consortium has spent more than four billion pounds in funds, and his amount of funds is still terrifying."
"We have to prevent him from losing his mind and competing for the second telecommunications company at all costs."
Jacob Rohill nodded in agreement, and said in a deep voice: "Your consideration is correct. For him, we must treat him with a more rigorous attitude."
Speaking of this, after a moment of indulgence, Jacob Rohill said again: "Evelyn, you will mobilize your strength to keep an eye on Xia Yu's itinerary, and at the same time do your best to investigate the real purpose of his coming to London~www.novelhall. com~ On my side, I will again step up efforts to compete for new telecommunications companies."
"Well, no problem."
Evelyn Lohill nodded and agreed.
...
Xia Yu didn't know about the actions of the Rohill family.
Because after the Howard family had lunch, he left for Windsor, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, Berkshire, in the south-east of England.
In the Howard family castle, Duke Carter Howard has agreed to Xia Yu's request and is willing to be the intermediary. He talked to Prince Philip on the phone. The specific meeting place will be at Windsor Castle in Windsor Town.
Because at this time, the Queen and Prince Philip are on vacation in the world's largest inhabited castle.
Unfortunately, when Xia Yu came to Windsor, the queen happened to return to London temporarily. Prince Philip, because of an agreement with Xia Yu, stayed in the castle and waited to meet Xia Yu.
Windsor Castle is also the main administrative residence of the British monarch, and it is naturally the top defensive power.
For this reason, Xia Yu's bodyguard team was taken seriously. He only entered Windsor Castle with Elena and met Prince Philip, who was already 60 years old, in the simple and elegant reception hall.
At the age of sixty, although he has fewer wrinkles on his face than his peers due to careful maintenance, his shiny forehead and sparse hair are also obvious marks left on him by the years.
When he saw Elena who was intimately accompanied by Xia Yu, Prince Philip's eyes flashed a little bit of surprise, and his gaze at Xia Yu changed a little. He seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Mr. Xia, and the beautiful and pure Ms. Elena, welcome you!"
Prince Philip stood up and welcomed Xia Yu and Elena with a smile.
