In the evening of the same day, at the invitation of the Spencer family, Lee Guangyu went to the Althorp Manor, which is more than an hour's drive from London.

Lee Kuang-woo rarely comes to Western Europe, and he has rarely come to England, and this is only the fourth time he has come to England.

The first was the acquisition of the Bentley Group, and the second was the acquisition of part of the shares of the British Telecom Group and the British automobile company.

The third was the acquisition of Land Rover, Lotus, as well as Xingyuan Minerals and the remaining British Telecom Group.

And these three times Li Guangyu met and negotiated with the British government and the queen, and never intersected with these British nobles, and the Earl of Spencer was the first British nobleman he met.

His youngest daughter is Princess Diana, whose family is very influential in England, and her own financial resources are relatively good, at least much better than some nobles who can't even keep their own castles.

Although the Spencer family is just an earl family, his network is very deep, not to mention Diana becoming a princess, and she has a very close relationship with the Duke of Marlborough, that is, the Churchill family, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Aberken and other families in England.

The current family, Edward John Spencer, may not be too talented in business, but his ability to pull connections is one of the best in the British aristocratic circle.

When Li Guangyu arrived at the Althorp estate, the Earl Spencer and his wife personally greeted him outside the estate, which can be said to be very face-saving for Li Guangyu.

The countess was not Princess Diana's biological mother, and she had a very bad relationship with Diana, who was rumored to be a child without parental love after divorcing her parents.

The main reason is that Edward John Spencer was patriarchal, and he was cared for by his mother, but after his biological mother left the estate, his mother's love was gone.

Li Guangyu took out the gift he had prepared and gave it to Spencer, and at the same time said: "Mr. Earl, it is a great pleasure to be a guest at Althorp Manor. ”

For Li Guangyu, the British upper class aristocrats are very concerned, and the young consortium helmsman shocked their eyes again and again.

No one expected that there would be such a dragon in the shallow pool in Xiangjiang, since he first came to England, but in just six years, the Li consortium is only an asset in London and needs to be looked up to by the Spencer family.

This time, the Li consortium chose to come here again, and their purpose was already very clear, they didn't care about the groups that the Li consortium had acquired before, anyway, they were all losing money before, and these noble families in Britain could not care.

However, the power companies, water companies, and gas companies involved this time are all companies related to the production and life of the citizens, and as long as these companies are taken down, there is no need to worry about losing money, and these families have long been waiting for the privatization of these companies.

However, the arrival of the Lee consortium has made them feel a huge pressure, and it is clear that the Lee consortium is coming for these companies.

The Lee Consortium is also interested in these companies, many of which are controlled by the Lee Consortium and its allies on the other side of the Xiangjiang River.

This time, the Lee consortium once again reached into the UK, and they did not want to see such a high-quality company being snatched away by the Lee consortium.

Compared with financial resources, don't look at yourself and others are British nobles for hundreds of years, and many assets are not much, because once they die, the inheritance of manors and castles has to pay 40% tax, and some nobles even sell their manors and castles in order not to become insolvent.

Therefore, in terms of funds, they may not be able to win the Li consortium, and they are not willing to pay a high price to buy these companies.

Today's invitation to Li Guangyu is not his intention alone, he also represents the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Abercan, the Duke of Marlborough, the Duke of Argyll and other domestic upper-class nobles.

Spencer smiled and said, "Your arrival will make Althorp Manor add another stroke to history, and it will also make Althorp Manor more glorious." ”

After a friendly discussion between the two sides, they each got into the car and headed towards the inside of the manor.

Accompanied by the Earl of Spencer, Lee Kong Woo visited his estate, mainly his castle.

The Spencer family is worthy of being a nobleman for hundreds of years, the area here Li Guangyu is not only envious or envious, its castle is quite historical, antiques, calligraphy and painting are quite a lot of decorations, and compared with here, Li Guangyu's villa in Xiangjiang is not worth mentioning.

Such a historical background cannot be formed without hundreds of years of accumulation, even if Li Guangyu's wealth is hundreds of times that of the Spencer family, in the eyes of the British upper-class aristocracy, he is a nouveau riche.

Not to mention Li Guangyu, it is some American consortia that are a group of nouveau riche without aristocratic spirit in the eyes of some European aristocrats, and they look down on those personnel very much.

Howard John Spencer, who accompanied Lee on the tour, was very happy to see Lee Kwang Woo's exclamation and appreciation for his castle.

The castle is a witness to the development of the Spencer family, which over the centuries has grown from a weak family to a family that is now extremely influential in British politics and the upper echelons of the aristocracy, which is something he should be proud of.

Spencer said: "Mr. Li, with your current financial resources, it is difficult to do a tight land situation in Xiangjiang, in Australia, in Canada, and even in our England, you can afford to buy manors and castles, and you can even buy land for construction yourself, and I believe that you are very welcome everywhere." ”

Li Guangyu really likes such a castle, but he will not buy such a castle, or go to Canada, Australia and other places to build castle estates.

These places are not his home, he will only live in Xiangjiang in this life, and he has never thought of settling in other countries.

Even if he wants to build his own manor, he will only choose his hometown and return to that small village, where is more suitable for him to retire.

Li Guangyu said: "Thank you for the earl's advice, if one day I feel that I need to own such a castle, I will consider buying a property here in England, after all, the castle here is more historical." ”

Earl Spencer sighed in his heart, Li Guangyu is only in his twenties, if other young people have such financial resources, they are afraid that they would have bought a castle a long time ago, even if they just put it away, they will want to have it.

It is an honor to be able to own a castle among many people, and a person like Lee Guang Woo who can control his desires and know what is suitable for him is the most difficult to deal with.

This time, they want to get Li Guangyu to quit the British companies that are involved in the lives of citizens, but they are afraid that it will be very difficult, and Li Guangyu is definitely not a person who can be easily dismissed.

Looking at the battle with the American consortium in the past two years, we can see that now the Lee consortium and the Japanese consortium have joined forces to compete with the American consortium in the US market, and even the car sales are fighting without caring about profits.

Earl Spencer now only hopes to reach a good agreement with Li Guangyu, he does not expect the Li consortium to completely withdraw from this acquisition, but he absolutely does not want to see the Li consortium eat all these companies involved in the production and life of the people.
