Chapter 405: Britain is in crisis
Under the big boss Ma Wei's money, the 2002 annual meeting of the group was still colorful and eye-catching. The money spent on the annual meeting alone is more than the total annual revenue of many companies. This huge gap has left many company bosses out of reach.
After the ceremony, it was the beginning of 2003, the coldest time in Russia. Ma Wei is at home with his pets, enjoying the heating and food. lived his comfortable life as a salted fish.
However, in the afternoon of that day, he suddenly received a phone call from the British Cabinet, "Hey, is this Mr. Marvey? I'm from the British Cabinet Office." The reason for calling you is that we in the UK have recently been subject to trade sanctions from the European Union......"
On the phone, a British cabinet official sent Ma Wei for help. Since the United Kingdom officially announced its Brexit, launched the Brexit referendum, and also won a $300 Canadian order with Russia. The EU countries, led by France and Germany, have begun to target the UK in all aspects.
Originally, if Britain left the European Union unilaterally, there would be no problem, and Germany and France would respect his decision very gently.
However, Brexit in this life is linked to Russia, the EU's sworn enemy. And more importantly, Britain and Russia have also joined forces to win Canadian ship orders. This can make the EU countries very angry! Especially Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy, which were originally determined.
This not only flew, but also hit their EU development. It's just a loss to the wife and the soldiers, thanks to a lot of losses......
"Mr. Ma Wei, the GDP growth of our UK in the current quarter has dropped by 1.6 percent compared with last year! In terms of the unemployment rate, it has also increased by 1.1 percent over the same period last year! The key is that this is still the early stage of the European Union's sanctions against our country, and in the middle and late stages, I don't know how much the economic data in all aspects will reach......
The British cabinet official did not exaggerate the facts to Ma Wei at all. Their British government, originally thought that Germany and France would remember some old feelings and not take retaliatory actions against them to leave the European Union. Or even if it is revenge, it will not come too hard.
After all, the UK has not yet finally launched a referendum. So it's not that critical step yet. If the EU retaliates, it will completely push Britain over Russia's side.
And then again, the reason why they left the European Union was that the two countries forced him to pay a budget of 1.8 billion euros. If it weren't for this, the British Prime Minister wouldn't have been mad and wanted to call for a referendum on Brexit......
However, what the British did not expect was that Germany and France were so decisive and ruthless that they directly punished them. Not only in the economic and trade aspects, but also all kinds of pressure and targeting. And even diplomatically, it seems that he does not want to have too much communication with the British.
After listening to what the British cabinet official said, Ma Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and felt a little "reasonable and unexpected".
It is understandable for EU countries to do this, but they play so ruthlessly as soon as they come up, obviously to force Britain to leave the EU early and throw itself into the arms of his Great Russia......
"We'll find a way to solve this matter, please don't worry. Mavi comforted allies on the phone.
The reason why the other party called him at the first time was because in terms of economy, the influence of Ma V Group is very large. It is no exaggeration to say that through three years of hard work, Ma V Group has become a very important source of tax revenue in Russia.
Therefore, even if Britain sends a request for help to the Russian government, in the end, the Russian government will come to ask for Mavi's opinion.
"Okay, Mr. Mavey, then I'm sorry for you! The British cabinet official said sincerely on the phone.
According to their British pride, they would never have sent such a request for help unless they had to. The main thing is that Britain and the EU countries are too familiar with each other, and the other party immediately grabbed his weakness and retaliated. This left Britain unguarded.
"You're welcome. Ma Wei replied directly on the phone. In this crisis in Britain, they and Russia will definitely not see death without help. But the key is how to save the country, and whether it will drag down the country's economy, which is very different.
……
Two days later, Ma Wei, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility, arrived in London, England on his private plane. This city rains 2/3 of the time of the year.
This is Mavey's second visit to London, but unfortunately, it is still foggy and rainy, and the streets are full of people with umbrellas. The air is also moist and affects people's mood.
"Boss, there's the Cabinet Office in front of you. At this time, the Russian bodyguard sitting in the front row said respectfully to Ma Wei.
"Hmm. Ma Wei replied casually, and then put away his phone halfway through.
When the car stopped, the door opened, and he walked into the British Cabinet Office again under the initiative of the bodyguard. It's just that this time the state of mind is completely different, and it is obviously more comfortable than last time.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Marvey, it's a pleasure to meet again!" said the British Chancellor, Joel Luke, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, for Marvey's arrival.
Compared with the previous meeting, there was a faint hostility, but today Joelluke's face had a little more smile, and his attitude towards Ma Wei was also very kind.
"Hello, Mr. Joel Luke. Ma Wei smiled politely in return. No matter what height his status reaches, he will never forget his original intention.
"Mr. Mavi, the conference room is ready. Representatives of our UK manufacturing unions, Internet service unions, water, electricity, oil and gas and other trade unions have arrived in the conference room. Do you think we're going to go over now?" said the British Chancellor, Joel Luke, to Mavey in a soft inquiry.
As the saying goes, this time, that time. Before the UK was facing an economic crisis, Joel Luke would not talk to someone in such a low profile.
But now Britain can be said to be isolated and helpless, besieged by the European Union in various ways. Not only in the automotive industry, aviation industry, communication industry, transportation industry is targeted. Even their British companies in various European countries are subject to the most rigorous comprehensive inspections (picks) in history.
"Alright, Minister Jorluk, go now!" replied Mavi lightly. As for the economic crisis in Britain, he personally does not care whether he can help or not. It's just that from the perspective of the country, it needs to be helped, otherwise it will affect the alliance that has just been established.
