On the morning of the next day, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing took a few children to start a tour of Paris.

In the past few years, since Cao Weiqing and married him, he has not gone out to travel, and Li Guangyu also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to go to several countries in Western Europe, and the whole family is also playing around and seeing different scenery in various places.

Li Guangyu is in a good mood to travel with his family in Paris, but the British government is a little troubled.

Regarding the movements of Li Guangyu and his entourage in Paris, the British top level was very concerned, especially Li Guangyu's meeting with Chirac, which made them feel tremendous pressure.

They are very worried that the focus of the Lee consortium's investment in Western Europe will shift from England to France, so that their British losses will be great, especially in this period, when England needs a lot of money to enter, at this time the Lee consortium suddenly invests in France in large quantities and is unwilling to choose England, which will be a huge blow to them to attract foreign capital.

On the morning of the 17th, the British Prime Minister personally invited Du Yuemei to the Prime Minister's Office to discuss some issues.

Since the acquisition of Jaguar, in the past few years, Du Yuemei and the British Prime Minister have maintained a very good personal relationship, but when it comes to their respective interests, the two do not care how good the relationship is.

In the reception area of the Prime Minister's office, the Prime Minister said to Du Yuemei: "Ms. Du, the two of us have been friends for many years, and our government has always been very supportive of the development of your Li consortium's industries. ”

Du Yuemei is not in a hurry at all now, she knows very well that a series of actions by Li Guangyu and the top management of the consortium in Paris will make the British government unable to feel at ease.

Du Yuemei was also not very happy about the negotiation for more than half a year, this matter had dragged on for too long, so that she had no time for her honeymoon.

Although she didn't care much about it herself, it was never something that made her happy.

As for the government's support for the development of the group under the Lee Foundation, this is even more nonsense, and the biggest support of the British government for the Lee Consortium is that it did not deliberately seek trouble with the Lee Foundation.

In many industries, the Li consortium wants to enter and negotiate with them to meet some requirements of the British government, and they can only enter this industry when they are in the Li consortium.

For example, the airlines a few years ago, such as the establishment of Tianyu Bank, such as the current Hong Kong dollar banknote issuance right.

Du Yuemei said: "Madam, our Lee Group has always attached great importance to the British market, and also intends to take London as our key investment focus, just some time ago, our senior management was still thinking about building a Bentley Building in London to be used as the headquarters of our Lee Enterprise in Western Europe. ”

At present, a number of groups under the Li consortium have their own group headquarters buildings, and as the president of Bentley Group, Du Yuemei naturally hopes to establish a headquarters building named after the group.

The construction of the building has been approved by Lee Guangyu, and this will also be a bargaining chip for them to get the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.

The prime minister is very clear about some of the situation of the Lee consortium, and now there are many headquarters buildings under the Lee consortium, and the Oriental Building in Taipei is under construction, which belongs to the Oriental Semiconductor Group. The mainland side is currently using the Pengyu Group headquarters building, while the Xingyue Building in Tokyo will also be completed, and the Xinghong Building in Los Angeles has also been blueprinted.

There are similar plans in Singapore, but there is no headquarters of Lee's group in Singapore, so the name of the building has not yet been decided.

Bentley Group is a very important group of the Lee Consortium, and the Lee Consortium naturally planned to establish the group headquarters.

However, regardless of whether many of the group headquarters in Xiangjiang or other regional headquarters are either ready to be put into use or are under rapid construction, only the building of the Bentley Group headquarters is still on the design drawings and there is no sign of construction.

The Prime Minister knew the reason for this, and the reason why the construction of the Bentley Building was delayed was mainly because of the issue of the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, and if this aspect was not negotiated, the Bentley Building would not be put into construction.

The Prime Minister is well aware that time is running out in this regard, and if it continues like this, it will be very detrimental to the government, and she needs to quickly cut through the mess and throw out some enterprises that are seriously dragging down the government's finances in order to change the current situation.

If the economic situation continues like this, her approval rating at home will continue to decline, which will be very detrimental to her.

In the hours that followed, the prime minister and Du Yuemei carefully discussed some conditions, and this time the British government made very large concessions, and the sincerity of cooperation was much more abundant than before.

Du Yuemei also patiently discussed with the prime minister, and she hoped to be able to probe the bottom line of the British government.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Li Guangyu received a phone call from Du Yuemei, who gave him a detailed report on the results of today's discussions with the prime minister.

Li Guangyu was very happy to hear this, and he was very satisfied with the results of this discussion, and it can be said that the British government is quite sincere.

Even if all the shares of the British Telecom Group are transferred to Li Guangyu, there is no problem with the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars.

Li Guangyu is going to invest one billion dollars to build the Bentley Building, and the Bentley Group will inject one billion dollars for the acquisition, and the Hengyu Supermarket Group will enter on a large scale.

The focus is on asking the Lee consortium to buy Xingyuan Minerals, which is currently not doing well, with an estimated market capitalization of $3.5 billion and several mines in Australia.

Such a valuation is reasonable in terms of the amount of reserves sought, and the company is unlikely to be ceded if the British government had not prepared a large number of privatization reforms of state-owned enterprises.

Although the capital of this mining company is somewhat large, there is still no problem with Li Guangyu's strength.

Besides, Li Guangyu knows that the price of iron ore will rise in a few years, and he will not suffer a loss by taking this mining company now.

Li Guangyu said to Du Yuemei: "You continue to communicate with the prime minister to ensure that after we buy this company, the company's employees will not cause trouble and strike, and we are not obliged to ensure that not a single employee is fired." ”

Li Guangyu is now worried that the employees of the mining company will learn from these people in the coal industry, so that he will be in trouble to buy this company, so he does not want to ask for trouble.

In fact, if there is a need, he would prefer to build a new energy and mineral group by himself, but he knows that there are several large mines in Western Australia, and when the time comes, he will pull the Xiangjiang Foundation, the Fujiwara family, the Sumitomo family, the California Foundation, and the Treasure Island family to enter there together.

However, there are also advantages to acquiring this company now, Xingyuan Minerals is registered in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United Kingdom belong to the Commonwealth, and this company will have more convenience in the development of Australia, which can reduce a lot of trouble for him in this regard.

Du Yuemei immediately replied: "Li Sheng, I have communicated with the prime minister in this regard, and they will arrange personnel to do a good job in this regard, and they will not force us to keep all employees, but the prime minister expects us to try to let them continue to work in the company if the employees' requirements are reasonable." ”

Li Guangyu has no problem with this, after all, the company also needs these people to keep running, and if I work with peace of mind, Li Guangyu will naturally not fire employees.
