Chapter 400: The Prime Minister's Visit

British Prime Minister John Major visited the United States on the same day. ”

John sat down at the dinner table and had just picked up a copy of the Washington Post when he saw today's front-page message.

It is normal for leaders of countries to exchange visits, and John automatically skips the front page without even bothering to read the content, and flips the newspaper to the entertainment section, and he is still interested in the entertainment events that occur in the country.

And then Dani, who entered the dining room, pulled out a chair and sat down, looked at John and suddenly said: "Boss! The Secretary of State has sent a request for instructions that John Major will visit the United States on the same day, and Her Majesty has asked him to bring you some chocolates.

John frowned slightly, and pondered in his heart, John Major's visit to the United States is logically not met by John, and all work is connected by federal government officials, but now that the queen has asked John Major to bring something, John is not easy to refuse, this is obviously the old lady helping John Major to open the way, if John refuses, it will hurt the old lady's face, so John can only meet once.

"I wanted to ignore the world and concentrate on making movies, but if you don't look for trouble, things will come to you! ”

"Okay. Dani nodded, then asked, "Boss, what did you say John Major saw you? Did you come to borrow money?"

"Probably not, if you come to borrow money, you don't have to see me to find Clinton, this kind of thing the queen can't use my relationship with her, that's too much fuss. John vetoed Dinny's speculation.

"What could that be?" Dani thought as she tilted her head.

"Won't you know when he comes!" John didn't bother to guess, anyway, for the sake of the old lady's face, he tried to help as much as he could, and if he couldn't help, he couldn't help.

Two days later, John Major and his party took advantage of the darkness to arrive at Purple Star Manor, and John met them in the living room.

The last time because of Royce Rawls, the two sides met not very harmoniously, but it has been so long and it has become a fact again, and everyone has chosen to forget, so this time the meeting is much more harmonious, at least on the surface.

"Hello Mr. JK, this is the chocolate that Her Majesty has entrusted me to bring you. John Major handed a beautifully packaged box of chocolates to his attendant and handed it to John.

"Please thank Her Majesty for me, and I have some dried cranberries here, please take me to convey them to Her Majesty. John asked the squire to hand over the prepared dried cranberries to John Major.

"I thank you on behalf of Her Majesty. John Major took the cranberries.

After the politeness is over, the two sides are ready to enter the theme, John and John Major usually have no friendship, so it is naturally impossible to catch up.

"Mr. JK, I have some things I want you to discuss today. ”

"Speak. ”

"Britain is the best friend of the United States and the most important partner of the United States, and now the United States has reduced its defense in Europe, and the pressure on Britain has increased dramatically, but now that the British economy is in a recession, increasing defense will undoubtedly make things worse for our economy, so I hope the United States can give Britain some help. ”

"Do you want to get some loans from the United States, or some other kind of help?"

"Loans are only part of the story, and we hope to deepen bilateral economic and trade relations and reach a set of trade agreements that will open up barriers for businesses in both countries and benefit the people of both countries." ”

John finally knew the purpose of John Major's trip, and in January this year, the United States, Canada, and Mexico reached a North American trade agreement, so Britain also wants to sign such a set of trade agreements with the United States to increase trade relations between the two countries, so as to boost the British economy. But John couldn't do this, and if he dared to agree, old Morgan would definitely have to lock him up again.

"The two countries have frequent trade exchanges, if a set of mutually beneficial trade agreements can be reached, it will be a good thing for the enterprises and people of the two countries, I will tell my father about this, but whether a trade agreement can be reached depends on whether the two sides can make concessions for the sake of enterprises and people, whether they can seek common ground while reserving differences. John only does not promise anything, and it is none of his business whether or not it can be negotiated in the end.

"Thank you, Mr. JK!" John Major wants John to match, and John can sit down and talk, otherwise there will be no chance to talk.

John Major left Purple Star Manor after getting what he wanted, John then called Old Morgan, told Old Morgan about tonight, and expressed some of his own opinions, as for Old Morgan to agree to him or not, he brought a talk to the party, and it was good to be able to help say two words.

However, he hopes that the elder Morgan will agree, and the two sides will deepen economic and trade relations, which will be beneficial to the economy of the two countries.

Morgan Sr. hung up the phone and thought about it for a while, and finally handed the matter to the think tank for analysis, and if the results of the analysis outweighed the disadvantages, then start negotiations, and if the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, then refuse.

And after John relayed this matter to the elder Morgan, he no longer cares, and there are so many economic experts and trade experts in the government and think tanks, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

The next day, John got up early in the morning and exercised in the garden for a while, until the sun was dazzling and the temperature had risen before he went back to the dining room to eat, but as soon as he arrived at the dining room, he saw a familiar back.

"Grandma Audrey, why are you here!" John looked at Audrey Hepburn, who was sitting at the table drinking coffee, with some surprise.

"Come and see you, and talk to you about work by the way. Audrey Hepburn smiled.

"If you have anything to do, call me directly, if you miss me, I'll go back to New York to see you, now the temperature is so high, you run around, how much it hurts your body!" John really couldn't bear it. The summer in Los Angeles is hot to death, and an elderly man who is nearly 70 years old can easily get sick when running around in such weather, not to mention that Audrey Hepburn has had surgery not long ago, and her body is even more unbearable.

"It's okay, how can I be as weak as you say. Audrey Hepburn smiled, feeling very warm in her heart.

The two then had some breakfast together in the dining room, after which John helped Audrey Hepburn to the living room.

"Grandma Audrey, didn't you come today to discuss something with me, what is the matter?"

John asked, as he sat Audrey Hee in his arms.

"Didn't you ask Dani to take some money to the foundation a few days ago, a few of us discussed it, and decided that the money would not be invested for the time being, and all of it would be used for public welfare, after all, the money from the movie box office will be handed over to the investment bank for investment, and it will take at least a year and a half to pay off, and the work of the foundation cannot wait that long, what do you say?"

"Yes, I don't have to tell you how to use the money, I trust you. ”

"Okay, that's it, we're talking about bringing some medicine and food to Liberia if possible. ”

"It seems that there is a civil war over there now! Wouldn't it be safe to go now!" Liberia is a country established by the United States after the abolition of black slaves, and some black slaves were repatriated to Africa.

"It's because of the civil war there that has displaced hundreds of thousands of people that we should go. Audrey Hepburn looked at John and said, "John, there is a civil war over there, and the most hurt are the defenseless people, can the United States intervene? Or call for the formation of a maintenance force at the United Nations to help Liberia stop the war?"

"Grandma Audrey! Now the state is implementing a policy of semi-isolation, not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and striving to develop its own economy, so it is impossible to take action now, which is inconsistent with the national policy. "It's good that John can send some medicine and food to Liberia, but it's definitely impossible for him to help, and he doesn't bother to care about the lives of black people.

"Okay!" Audrey Hepburn nodded helplessly, although she had a good relationship with John, she couldn't force John to do things, otherwise the relationship between the two would come to an end.

But although John rejected Audrey Hepburn, he would still help if he needed help, and the lives of black people had nothing to do with him, but the people of the Foundation had anything to do with him, and he didn't want these people to die over there.

"Grandma Audrey! When the Foundation people go to Liberia, it's best to be near the Firestone Plantation, and if there is any danger, let our people run into the plantation, and I will greet Firestone and provide some necessary help when the time comes. ”

Firestone has contracted a plantation in Liberia, which is a country within a country and has a very strong military force, which no one dares to enter easily.

In case of danger, someone from the Foundation can run in and save their lives.
