In the morning of London time, after receiving a notice from Ganqin, Du Yuemei contacted the office of the Prime Minister's Office, hoping to meet with Margaret Thatcher in the afternoon.

After receiving a response, Du Yuemei rushed from Coventry to London in a car, accompanied by bodyguards, and Du Yuemei also considered how to persuade the Thatcher authorities to agree to the establishment of a new airline in Hong Kong by the Lee Group.

At this time, after Mrs. Thatcher learned that Du Yuemei had come to visit her, she immediately asked her team if there was something wrong with the development of the Bentley Group.

Thatcher is now in a lot of difficulties, the British economy is already very bad, the inflation rate is more than 10%, and now affected by the world financial crisis, all countries have strengthened trade protection, so that the British economy has been hit again, and domestic inflation has also risen again, which has brought great challenges to her administration.

The Bentley Group, as a testing ground for her administration's reforms, has developed quite well over the past year or so, which has made her more confident in her economic reforms. It's just that with the implementation of the U.S. trade protection policy, the current development of the Bentley Group has also fallen into difficulties, and Thatcher thought that Du Yuemei was here for the Bentley Group.

An official next to Thatcher said: "We did not receive a report of a major problem on the Bentley Group's side, but the Lee Group injected another $1 billion into the Bentley Group for the expansion of the Bentley Group, and now the Bentley Group should have no problem." ”

Mrs. Thatcher heard that the Lee Group had actually injected a billion dollars at this time, and it seemed that the Lee Group was full of confidence in the automotive industry. It's just that in this case, what is Du Yuemei doing in a hurry to visit herself today?

In response to Margaret Thatcher's question, the official in charge of intelligence affairs in Hong Kong replied: "I have just received news that the Lee Group is preparing to buy Cathay Pacific Airways in Hong Kong, but HSBC and Swire Group are unwilling to sell it. MacLehose also reported to us that Lee Guangyu wanted to establish a new airline in Hong Kong, and MacLehose asked us to consider more for the citizens of Hong Kong, so that the Lee Group could enter the aviation business in Hong Kong. ”

One of the officials said: "I can recognize MacLehose's financial ability, but he sometimes forgets who he is, and we must not agree to let the Lee Group enter the market to squeeze our British capital." Now that Swire Group is running Cathay Pacific very well, there is no need to let a Chinese-funded consortium enter. ”

Thatcher ignored the disputed officials, and she now pondered how she could use the matter to make their government more profitable.

Li Guangyu's earnings in the stock market are hidden from ordinary people, but in the face of the British intelligence department, his little things have long been clear here. This time, the Lee Group made a profit of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and if these funds can be invested in the United Kingdom, it will relieve a lot of pressure on their government.

As for the interests of the Swire Group, Mrs. Thatcher didn't care too much, don't look at the Swire Group's great influence in Hong Kong, in London, it is just a slightly larger group, and there are more influential figures here than the Shi Huaiya family.

In addition, the Swire Group is still mainly developing in Asia, and there are not many industries in London, and Thatcher has long been a little dissatisfied with this, and has not seen the sharp rise in the local unemployment rate today?

On the contrary, Li Guangyu's side was just a Bentley Group, and the investment of 2 billion US dollars in more than a year brought impetus to the development of Coventry's local economy.

Thatcher was ready to take a knife again against companies with mismanaged public assets, and it would be better to privatize them than to let them drag down the government's finances. In this way, the government can get a fund for improvements elsewhere, and the private sector can do a good job of developing the business, and the government can also get the benefits of tax revenue.

Margaret Thatcher asked the person in charge of affairs on the Xiangjiang side: "What are the recent moves of the Li Group?"

The official replied: "After the Lee Group profited from the stock market, it increased the expansion of supermarket groups and real estate groups, and their markets are mainly in Treasure Island and Japan. ”

After Thatcher listened, he was thinking about which industries on his side were ready to be privatized, and the Lee Group was willing to take over.

If he put forward some conditions that the Li Group does not want to enter the industry at all, it is estimated that the Li Group will not agree to it for the sake of an airline. He knew the young man very well through some information, and he was very sensible, and he would never take over things that were not good for him.

Mrs. Thatcher also felt sad about Britain today, and the glory of the past was also yesterday, as the prime minister of England, she would think carefully about it in order to attract billions of dollars in investment, and Mrs. Thatcher also sighed at the current situation.

If the current predicament in England is not resolved, it is almost impossible for her to be re-elected, and the reform is facing huge resistance, so she has to bother to deal with it.

This time, she hopes to attract foreign capital again, activate the local capital market, and let those legislators see the benefits of the reform, and at the same time, some consortia will definitely not be able to sit still and join in, so that their own reforms can be implemented smoothly.

Margaret Thatcher put a stop to the officials' arguments, and instead asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to give them the data for the first seven months in England to give them an idea of the current form.

After the Chancellor of the Exchequer had finished speaking, Margaret Thatcher said: "You have also heard about our current economic development, and if we do not speed up the reform at such a critical time, our economy will only get worse and worse." I know that some people are always trying to protect the interests of the British consortium, but where are these groups when we need them to invest in improving the domestic economic environment?"

Margaret Thatcher's words left the ministers present speechless, which of these consortia does not want to wait for the situation to deteriorate before coming out to buy the bottom, and the reason why they are not acting now is to wait for the government to hold on, to give them greater concessions, they are all a group of people who want to take benefits for nothing.

Margaret Thatcher said: "This time we need the Lee Group to invest in our local area, to set an example for foreign funds to invest in us, their Bentley Group is very good, and many auto parts companies in Coventry have let them live." If we treat the Lee Group differently in the airline's policy, how can the Lee Group rest assured to continue to invest in our homeland. ”

An official said: "But in this way, the British-funded consortium on the other side of Xiangjiang will become more and more uncomfortable, and now they have been suppressed by the Li consortium in many industries, and now we also have a monopoly position in the Hong Kong dollar banknote issuing right and the airlines in the hands of the Swire group, and other industries have been impacted by the Chinese-funded consortium headed by the Li consortium, making our British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang less and less." ”

Mrs. Thatcher doesn't care much about the problems of the Hong Kong British-funded consortium now, and the government has given them so many policies, and as a result, the Chinese-funded consortium has only developed in such a short period of time to squeeze several major British-funded foreign companies into such a group of Adou who can't be supported. If it weren't for some support from the government, I am afraid that these British-funded consortia would have been squeezed out of the Xiangjiang market long ago.

Margaret Thatcher said: "The right to issue money is still in our hands, as for the airlines, Cathay Pacific has a foundation for so many years, if the Lee consortium just entered and suppressed him, we can't blame our government, only blame their own incompetence, such an advantage can not maintain the company's development, then it deserves to be squeezed and collapsed by the Li consortium's airlines." ”

When these officials saw that Margaret Thatcher was determined to let the Lee consortium enter the aviation industry, they no longer stopped it, but negotiated which industry to let Lee Guangyu enter in the local area, and dumped the poorly run companies to the Lee consortium.
