Chapter 846: Return to Buckingham Palace

The next morning, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing took their three children to Buckingham Palace.

In the living room, Her Majesty said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, lovely babies, welcome to come. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your invitation, and it is a great honour to be here again at Buckingham Palace. ”

Li Guangyu originally thought that the prime minister would talk to him first, but he didn't expect the queen to send him an invitation letter first, inviting him to drink his family to come to Buckingham Palace.

The queen smiled and said, "Madame Li, as early as 80 years when Mr. Li came here as a guest, I asked him to bring you to my place as a guest, but unfortunately you may think that I can't attract you, and it took four years for you to come here." ”

As for Li Guangyu, it is clear why he has not set foot in the British mainland for so long, and the root cause is still the Xiangjiang issue, as long as the dust has not settled, Li Guangyu is reluctant to come to their homeland, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the Li consortium.

And the queen knows that Li Guangyu has not set foot in the mainland capital until now, which is enough to show how cautious Li Guangyu is.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiangjiang's return to the mainland had become a foregone conclusion this time, I was afraid that Li Guangyu would not have come to them.

Cao Weiqing said politely: "Your Majesty, it's not that Guangyu doesn't want to take me to visit you, it's mainly because I've been either pregnant in the past few years, or the baby is still very small and not suitable for traveling, but this year is finally a little better, so our whole family came to London." ”

Although everyone knows the reason why Li Guangyu has not come to London in recent years, Cao Weiqing still has to find some other reasons.

And in the past few years, her reason couldn't be more suitable, if it weren't for a few babies, she would have been able to accompany Li Guangyu on a trip to Southeast Asia last year, maybe there would not have been Gan Qin blocking Li Guangyu's gun, and it would not have caused her so much pressure.

The queen did not talk to Li Guangyu about political issues, nor did she talk to Li Guangyu about economic matters, but chatted more with Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing about some interesting things in life, and laughed with a few children from time to time.

Lee and his family had lunch with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, and they talked with the Queen a lot in the afternoon, until 4 p.m. before returning to the Regal Hotel.

This time, the queen mentioned all political topics, and did not talk about the investment of the Lee consortium, but today she chatted about some daily things and welcomed the arrival of Li Guangyu's family.

Li Guangyu knows that since the queen is so friendly, it is estimated that this meeting with the prime minister will be more difficult, and it may be quite difficult to negotiate, otherwise he would not have received the queen's invitation first this time.

This is to make him feel the goodwill of Britain first, and then it will follow, although it is not malicious, but it is certain that he is not very happy, this time I am afraid that the prime minister still wants the lion to open his mouth.

Soon after Lee Kwang Woo left Buckingham Palace, the prime minister came here to communicate with the queen about some things, including Lee Kwang Woo.

The queen said to the prime minister: "Don't be too tough when you negotiate with Lee Guangyu, Lee Kuangyu is a very assertive person, he will not be willing to invest if you ask too much, and our current problems in Britain cannot be solved by a Lee consortium." ”

Of course, the prime minister also knows that one Lee consortium is far from enough, but she now needs a force to take the lead and play an exemplary role, so that more forces can join in.

At present, whether it is the British local families and consortia, or the Western European conglomerates, they are not moving, thinking about buying the bottom at a low price, how can the prime minister let them get their way, he hopes that in this reform, these industries can be sold at a higher price to increase the government's revenue.

Once the Lee consortium is able to buy some of their properties at a good price, and with a reference, they will be able to negotiate better with other consortiums and families.

Fortunately, they still have what Li Guangyu wants to get here, and they can let the Li consortium eat some of the industry, otherwise their government will be even more difficult.

The Prime Minister said: "This time I will try my best to reach an agreement with the Lee consortium to promote mutual benefit and win-win results between the two sides, and you also know the ability of the Lee consortium, some companies will be able to turn losses into profits soon when they come to their hands, whether it is the Bentley Group or the current British Telecom Group." In fact, I very much hope that the Li consortium will take over more industries, so that we can better drive the development of our economy. ”

The queen felt that the prime minister was still thinking too well, the Lee consortium was not something that their British government could control, and they were not charities, how could they choose to buy some companies at a high price, judging from the development of the Lee consortium, they would rather establish their own group than choose to acquire unless they had to.

This time, the government is mainly targeting some traditional industries, and the Li consortium is not very interested in this aspect, and if they want to take over at the government's price, I am afraid that it is a little too much to take for granted.

Even if the queen doesn't ask about national politics, the current situation in the UK makes her feel worried, the continued sluggish economy, and the high unemployment rate, so that she has to care about the government's solutions.

The queen said worriedly: "I also support your reform this time, I hope you can lead the country out of the current quagmire, we must not sink like this, just reform, in which you have to grasp the balance, pay attention to the mood of the people, do not cause any turmoil, the recent coal industry problems are not small." ”

The prime minister has no intention of compromising now, reform is imperative, and if the coal industry chooses to do so, they will have to pay the price.

Tianyu Bank, a subsidiary of the Li consortium, has the strength to become a note-issuing bank, but their government is unwilling to let the Li consortium get it easily.

At present, there are 12 standing members of the Bank of Hong Kong Committee, of which only HSBC and Standard Chartered are permanent, and the chairman of the banking committee is also two in turn, even if Tianyu Bank, Bank of Hong Kong, and Bank of East Asia are so strong, they are still not qualified, the main reason is that these two major banks have the right to issue notes.

Now that Xiangjiang is destined to return to the mainland, Britain also knows that it is no longer capable of controlling Xiangjiang, and at this time, the domestic economy needs the contribution of the Li consortium, and it is not impossible to give up the right to issue Hong Kong dollars to the Li consortium.

The Li consortium has the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes without any impact on them, and it is better to give this chicken rib to the Li consortium in exchange for better domestic development.

The Prime Minister said: "Queen, I will pay attention to this aspect, please believe me, after the implementation of this reform, the British economy will definitely be able to turn around, and Britain will usher in a new round of rapid development." ”

Now the prime minister needs the queen to use her influence to help the government strengthen the confidence of the people, so that the people can support the government's reform and development.

The Queen's popularity among the people of the country is very high, and if the Queen expresses her support for the government's reform plan, it will bring great benefits to her governance.

The success of the reform is related to the Conservative Party and whether she can continue to be the ruling party and the prime minister, she can only succeed and not fail, and if she fails, her political career will be completely ended after the end of this term.
