"Please!"

Margaret Thatcher calmed down and looked at Xia Yu quietly after speaking.

Xia Yu said lightly: "Anyway, it's only half a year, which is not a long time, and it is completely possible to judge the British harvest and the role of intelligence according to the situation." “

"If it really happens, there is no need to invite a special evaluation team, and the major media around the world will rush to report it, and they are the most impartial third-party evaluation team, what do you think?"

There is still half a year to go, and although the election of the governor of Xiangjiang will be selected at the end of this year, the official appointment will not be around May next year, and if the Falklands War really happens, it will definitely have happened by that time.

Even if a new Governor takes office, as long as the British government gives orders, the new Governor will still have to carry them out, and there is no problem.

Margaret Thatcher looked at Xia Yu for a long time, nodded slowly and said, "Yes." ”

Xia Yu showed a smile, and suddenly thought of a little more, his smile retracted, and he said again: "By the way, Ms. Margaret, I still have one more thing to declare." ”

"If it is because the British government does not pay attention to my intelligence and suffers a relatively large loss, then the value of my intelligence cannot be denied. ”

Whether Xia Yu is afraid of the arrogant John Bull or is he careless, in case he reminds him, or just like in his previous life, the cruiser is destroyed by the French Exocet missiles purchased by Argentina, this must not be used as an excuse to shirk.

It is better to get vaccinated in advance.

Faced with Xia Yu's obviously distrustful attitude, Margaret Thatcher was a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything, and simply nodded in agreement: "Yes." ”

Seeing Xia Yu smiling, Margaret Thatcher was not very happy, she looked at her watch and asked, "Mr. Xia, is there anything else?"

The meaning is obvious, her time is urgent, if there is nothing else, then this meeting is here.

Xia Yu knew that Margaret Thatcher was definitely in a bad mood, so he was not angry about her attitude.

No matter how many cases there are, they will disappear in the face of interests.

He smiled faintly and said: "Lady Margaret, I do have one more thing, I am interested in investing five billion pounds in the UK in the next three years. ”

Sure enough, hearing this huge number, Margaret Thatcher was shocked, and Prince Philip was also shocked, and his gaze at Xia Yu changed.

This amount is already equivalent to about 2 percent of Britain's GDP last year.

If it can be fully invested in the UK, driven by the industrial chain, it will definitely be able to generate tens of billions of pounds in benefits, how many employment problems can be solved, and how much can it contribute to the British economy?

It was a matter of a moment, and the unhappiness in her heart was swept away in an instant, and a warm smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Xia, on behalf of the British government, I welcome your investment in the UK, there are many investment opportunities in China, do you have a detailed investment plan?

Xia Yu looked distressed, shook his head and sighed and said: "Ms. Margaret, in the past two years, I have invested more than three billion pounds in the UK. ”

"I heard that the UK is now carrying out the reform of the telecommunications market and is preparing to set up a new telecommunications company, and the telecommunications industry needs large-scale infrastructure construction, and the consumption of funds is relatively large, I don't know if this is suitable?"

Margaret Thatcher's eyes froze, her smile narrowed slightly, and she understood what Xia Yu meant.

Is it just that the new telecom company wants Xia Yu to enter?

Faced with a five-billion-pound investment, she struggled fiercely.

After a long time, she exhaled lightly and said solemnly to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I don't know much about the new telecommunications company, and I can only give you an answer after I understand it." ”

"Either way, the UK is very welcoming to your investment. ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your reply at any time!" Xia Yu said with a smile.

After chatting a few words again, Xia Yu took the initiative to say goodbye.

Perhaps because of the five billion pounds investment thrown by Xia Yu in the end, Margaret Thatcher sent Xia Yu out of the door very enthusiastically to show her attention to Xia Yu.

After Xia Yu left, Margaret Thatcher immediately gathered her confidants to discuss, and Prince Philip went to Buckingham Palace, where he needed to inform his wife about the meeting with Xia Yu.

......

On the way back, Xia Yu was in a relaxed mood, and he did what he should do, and the specific results needed to be fought for continuously.

To be honest, Xia Yu didn't have too many worries about whether Margaret Thatcher would break her promise.

Although the face of a politician is like that of a monkey - it changes when it is said, it has to be right for people and things, and the key is to look at the factors of interests.

In 1958, Hong Kong gained financial autonomy, and the direct benefit of the British government was mainly the military expenditure of the Hong Kong government, which was provided to the British garrison in Hong Kong.

Last year, the Hong Kong government spent about £100 million on the military, which was used to pay for the British garrison.

However, unlike the British colonies, Xiangjiang is only a leased land, which is legally to be returned at maturity, and this income cannot last long.

If the interests of wrestling with the mainland are greater, there is no doubt that the British government will definitely choose to wrestle with the mainland.

However, in the face of Xia Yu's huge investment and the benefits that this investment can generate, the 100 million pounds that directly benefited from this investment is insignificant.

Not to mention anything else, if Xia Yu really invests 5 billion pounds in the UK, how can he provide the British government with 1 billion pounds of tax revenue every year after it is implemented.

Although Xia Yu didn't say it explicitly, he said it together with the issue of investment and the stability of Xiangjiang, and with the wisdom of Margaret Thatcher, he must know the relationship between them.

In the face of these, the opening of the investment threshold for new telecommunications companies alone is nothing more than a requirement that is not required.

Not to mention, before the direct monetary benefits, Xia Yu also threw out a piece of information of great value, which was already enough.

In this case, Margaret Thatcher also has to carefully consider the consequences and losses that will be caused by breaking her promise, after all, Xia Yu's strength and influence in Britain should not be underestimated.

......

In the next few days, Xia Yu traveled to various banquets every day.

As the second-in-command of the British Chinese Business Consortium and the overlord of Xiangjiang, there are many people who want to slap him.

He can refuse the invitation of ordinary people, but the invitation issued by someone with a certain amount of energy, Xia Yu will readily accept the invitation considering the need to spread and deepen his influence.

Four days after Margaret Thatcher met, Xia Yu received a reply from the British government, asking him to send someone to the government to discuss the matter of a new telecommunications company.

At Xia Yu's suggestion, George Berkeley, who was already ready, personally led the team.
