Chapter 220: Buckingham Palace
At half past eight in the morning of May 20, Li Guangyu went to Buckingham Palace accompanied by Li Weiming and others. Flash Dance
After Lee Kwang Woo entered Buckingham Palace, he was in the royal family. Led by the housekeeper, I came to the living room.
Li Guangyu was very glad that he had been trained by an etiquette trainer sent by the He family, and now he will not be ashamed on such an occasion.
Li Guangyu greeted according to some British etiquette.
He said, "Mr. Lee, welcome to our Buckingham Palace. ”
Lee said, "I am very honored to receive your invitation to be here. ”
He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I am also very happy to see a young man like you as a guest." ”
As the nominal head of the British people, although he does not care about anything, he has a high reputation among the British people and is very popular with the citizens.
In the ensuing conversation, he did not talk to Li Guangyu about political issues and the Xiangjiang issue, but more about Li Guangyu's business.
He said, "Mr. Li, although I am far away in England, I still know some news about Xiangjiang, especially in the past two years, and I often hear about you from these news. So this time, when you come to England, I specially invite you to our palace as a guest, and I also want to see with my own eyes what the young man who created a legend in Xiangjiang is like. ”
Li Guangyu said modestly, "Thank you for your attention, this is just an exaggeration by the media, I am just lucky, and now I have determined a little achievement, which is also the result of my high-level efforts, and my own level is limited." ”
Naturally, he has some information about Li Guangyu, and he still knows some of the young man's personality very well. In the past few years, this has been very humble, polite and courteous to everyone, giving people the impression that they are harmless to humans and animals. If it weren't for this news, no one would have seen that he was the head of a family business that had reached nearly 10 billion US dollars.
is such a harmless young man, who directly attacked the Keswick family's Jardine Group last month, causing the Jardine Group to lose control of the two groups one after another.
He said, "Mr. Li, you are too modest, and the Keswick family is afraid of you now. It is said that preparations have been made to send family members to Xiangjiang to take charge in person, so that the Jardine Matheson Group will not be attacked by you again. This action of yours, there are not many families in our UK that can do it. Flash"
Li Guangyu didn't know what the purpose of saying this was, was he warning himself not to target the British-funded consortium?
Li Guangyu said, "Your Majesty, this is also the problem of the Jardine Matheson Group itself, they have been expanding endlessly in recent years, and their control over the major groups is not strong, and due to the rapid expansion, many industrial management serving the citizens of Xiangjiang has not kept up, and the citizens have many complaints about this. It is also for the sake of the people of Hong Kong that we launched the acquisition of some groups under the Jardine Matheson Group. ”
said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I don't have any opinion on your acquisition of the group under the Jardine Group, this is all a commercial operation, and Jardine himself can't look at his own group, and I can't blame others." I'm just marveling at your ability, and if only a few of us in England could have been able to do this, our local economy wouldn't be like this. ”
Although she didn't care about anything, she still knew a lot about the situation in the country, and Margaret Thatcher would often come to the palace to tell her about some things in the country.
At present, the economic development of the country is not satisfactory, the inflation rate continues to rise, and the living standards of the people have also dropped to a certain extent, and the government is also a headache for it. If there are more tasks like Li Guangyu and come to England to invest, the domestic economy will definitely be able to improve.
"You don't have to worry too much, the government is said to be implementing a series of economic reforms, and I believe that under Margaret Thatcher's leadership, the British economy will soon be turned around," Lee said. ”
He said, "Mr. Li, I really hope that as you said, our citizens can also live a little better. ”
Later, he did not mention business matters, but asked some questions about Li Guangyu's family.
He said, "Mr. Li, I hope that the next time you come to England, you can bring your wife with you, and I also want to see which lady can walk with a talented young man like you." ”
Li Guangyu said, "Thank you for your concern, I feel very lucky to be able to get a wife like Wei Qing." The next time I come, I'll be sure to bring comfort with me. ”
At noon, Li Guangyu was invited to lunch with him.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Li Guangyu said goodbye and left.
After returning to the hotel, Zhang Ziyu asked Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, how is Buckingham Palace, is the queen as amiable as rumored to the people." ”
Li Guangyu said, "Isn't it a little older, more serious, with more rules, and there is no such freedom from the outside world." The queen was very nice and didn't ask me some difficult questions. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Ziyu didn't ask much, but said to Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, I have already contacted the plane at half past eight tomorrow morning, and we can return to Xiangjiang tomorrow." ”
When Lee returned to the hotel, Thatcher arrived.
Margaret Thatcher said, "Your Majesty, how do you feel about Li Guangyu when you meet him today?"
He said, "Thatcher, I can't see through this young man, he is very respectful, he is very humble. As the head of a family with tens of billions of assets, how could you show him that people and animals are harmless like that, you must be cautious. ”
As for why she advised Thatcher to be cautious, or because Thatcher told him about some of his own economic reforms, the privatization of Chinese enterprises, Thatcher hoped to involve Li Guangyu, and the current Jaguar Motor Company is just a test field, once Jaguar develops smoothly, Thatcher will invite Li Guangyu to continue to increase investment in the United Kingdom, especially in the privatization reform of some state-owned enterprises.
Margaret Thatcher said: "Your Majesty, you are well aware of the present state of our economy, and if we do not carry out reforms, the economy will become more and more difficult. ”
