On the evening of September 18th, all the high-level people in Xiangjiang came to the banquet hall of the Governor's Palace to attend tonight's dinner, which was a moment of great influence on Xiangjiang.

In a few days, Margaret Thatcher will arrive in the capital of China to communicate with the leaders on the other side about the Xiangjiang issue, and Youde will go to the capital in advance to prepare for Margaret Thatcher's arrival.

Youde held such a dinner tonight, firstly, to communicate with everyone about this matter, and at the same time, he hoped that the top forces in Xiangjiang could support their claims on the British side, and at the same time, some representatives from the Xiangjiang side would also pass.

After the banquet began, Youde talked about the British government's proposition on Hong Kong, and at the same time explained Margaret Thatcher's visit to China to the senior officials present, hoping that everyone would consider it carefully.

Youde said: "The current development of Hong Kong is not easy to come by, I think everyone hopes that Hong Kong can continue to develop in this way, and to maintain the current policy, it will take the joint efforts of all of you, Hong Kong is also the Hong Kong of five million Hong Kong citizens, as the current representatives of Hong Kong, you have the right to express your own demands." ”

Except for the representatives of the British-funded consortium, the Chinese families present remained silent, and such a thing was obviously not what they expected to get involved in.

At this time, what they need to do is to maintain the development of their own industry, just wait for the final result, they are talking too much at this time, and the family business that has been ruined for decades if they are a little careless, these old foxes will not make such a mistake.

Youde has long known the thoughts of these Chinese-funded families in Xiangjiang, and he doesn't have a good way to deal with it at present, they all say that the gun shoots the first bird, and these Chinese-funded families are like this kind of perversion, so he can't find a reason to start.

Besides, it is no longer than in the sixties and seventies, when it was still the world of British conglomerates, and for some reasons on the part of the government, their government dared to crack down on the rising bird and restrict it in various industries, and now their Xiangjiang government is powerless to do so.

Especially in the face of the fact that the vast majority of Chinese families are standing on the same line, it is impossible to pick a target by themselves. Moreover, what the government is asking is that Xiangjiang mainly woos the Chinese family, as long as they do not jump out and blatantly oppose the government, Youde will not be able to do anything to them.

However, what is more interesting this time is that there is no Li Guangyu, who is currently the most famous and financially famous in Xiangjiang, in the list of going to the mainland, but Bao Yugang, the former richest man in Xiangjiang, will greet the arrival of Margaret Thatcher with himself in the capital and relevant officials in the mainland.

In the middle of the banquet, Youde invited Li Guangyu to the small meeting room to discuss.

In the few months that Youde has been here in Xiangjiang, what he has heard and learned the most is the news about Li Guangyu and the Li Foundation.

For such a consortium Youde has to be cautious, the current supermarket retail market in Xiangjiang has been monopolized by the Li consortium and related interest groups, in terms of transportation, in addition to the subway, whether it is city buses, or aviation, is also in their monopoly, Cathay Pacific does not pose any threat to Xiangjiang Airlines.

In terms of energy, they have a monopoly on the gas in Xiangjiang, and they also occupy a certain market in electricity, and there are hundreds of thousands of families in Xiangjiang who work directly or indirectly for this interest group.

Youde is quite aware of how solid the position of the Lee consortium in Xiangjiang is at present, and the fact that such an interest group has grown so quickly is mainly due to the legendary development experience of Lee Guangyu, but also the factor of their government's connivance.

The British are not worried about the impact of the emergence of a consortium in Xiangjiang, which is very common in capitalist countries, but it is difficult in the socialist camp.

They just need such a consortium to appear in Xiangjiang, which will be more beneficial to them. They don't believe that Li Guangyu and the Lee Consortium and the extremely interest groups are not worried that their interests will not be protected, as long as some of them have such thoughts, the goal of the British side will be achieved.

The reason why Youde made a separate appointment with Li Guangyu today was that he hoped to communicate with Li Guangyu again on the issue of Xiangjiang, and at the same time, on behalf of the British government, invited Li Guangyu to visit the mainland with him.

After Li Guangyu and Youde sat down opposite each other, Youde said: "Mr. Li, this time Mrs. Thatcher will arrive in Beijing on the 22nd for a visit to the mainland, during which she will communicate with the leaders of the mainland on the issue of the Xiangjiang River. ”

Li Guangyu didn't want to go to the capital at this time, and now all he had to do was wait for things to happen in Xiangjiang, and he didn't want to provoke other things.

Besides, this is an invitation from the British side, and at this time, I will follow them to get up, and the mainland market is almost gone, so Li Guangyu will not do such a stupid thing.

Li Guangyu replied: "Mr. Youde, thank you to Mrs. Thatcher and the British government for their hospitality, but my wife is about to give birth, and I have no intention of leaving Xiangjiang at this time, I believe that the Xiangjiang issue will be handled by China and England, and I also believe that the future development of Xiangjiang will be better and better, and I am full of confidence in this." ”

Youde had been prepared for Li Guangyu's refusal, he had studied Li Guangyu himself for a long time, this one seemed young, but he was quite calm, and this time the other party obviously didn't want to get involved in this.

He said to Li Guangyu: "This time, the mainland invited Mr. Bao Yugang to go to the capital, and as the helmsman of the Li consortium, the current richest man in Xiangjiang, he is not on the invitation list.

What can Li Guangyu think, he is not unaware of these reasons, this is his own choice, he needs to protect the interests of the family and the group, and in some respects he naturally cannot compare with the charter king.

Their industries are basically Xiangjiang, and shipping from Southeast Asia to the Western European continent, so they naturally don't need to worry about the British government's suppression in some things.

Li Guangyu's market is different, his current important assets are mainly in Hong Kong, Treasure Island, England, Japan and the United States, if you don't pay attention, you may lose a lot.

At this time, he still stayed quietly in Xiangjiang, and the more fierce he jumped, the worse the loss.

Li Guangyu also knew that the reason why Youde said this was to provoke his inner dissatisfaction, so that he would not be fooled.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Youde, you also know, I am still a young man who has just passed 21 years old, I lack sufficient knowledge of many things, involving such a big thing, I have rich experience in natural language, and there are people with a very high status in Xiangjiang to participate, Mr. Bao Yugang just meets such conditions, and we Li Group have no opinions on his going." ”

Youde didn't have any way to respond to Li Guangyu's sleek response, he knew that he couldn't complete the invitation this time.

Li Guangyu is not provoked by him at all, and his calmness makes people feel terrifying, this is still a 21-year-old young man, but Youde doesn't feel any impulses and blood in his body, and he doesn't have the pride of being the second and the third in the world.

Youde and Lee Kuang-woo ended the meeting after discussing the future development of Hong Kong.
