"Okay, then I'll go and tell Her Majesty about it. The British Prime Minister sat at his desk and nodded.

Compared to the domestic economic regression and rising unemployment, the historical artifacts in the British Museum are really nothing. Moreover, they have been using these cultural relics for a long time to do some trading.

Three days later, British Minister Joel Luke met again with Mavi from Russia. Only this time, there were no trade union representatives from all walks of life around Johluk, just a white-haired old Englishman.

The identity of this old man is the current director of the British Museum. The reason for the appearance here, needless to say, is to let Ma Wei see the sincerity shown by the British.

"Mr. Marvey, I would like to introduce you, this is our director of the British Museum, Mr. Jogges. British Chancellor Joel Luke enthusiastically introduced Mavey.

"Hello, Mr. Jorjes. Ma Wei smiled and shook hands with the other party. He understood what Joel Luke meant, and knew that when the two sides got to know each other, he would need to reveal something about effective ways to save the British economy. In this way, the transaction can be facilitated and carried out smoothly.

"I have been in England and have heard about your deeds. The 8 pieces you want to buy, the historical relics of our British Museum, I need to confirm with you again, are the "Female History Atlas" of the Z country, the jade cong of the Liangzhu culture, the Kanghou Gui of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the punium of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the glazed pottery of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three-color civil official figurines of the tomb of Liu Tingxun in the Tang Dynasty, the dragon head amphora of the Tang Dynasty, and the blue and white porcelain plate of the Yuan Dynasty, these 8 cultural relics, right?"

Jojes speaks fluent London English. As for the trade of cultural relics, as early as when he took office and then took office as the curator, it was already a secret that was passed down from generation to generation.

"Yes, Mr. Jojes, how much do they cost?" said Mavi, speaking lightly, to the director of the British Museum.

On the surface, he was silent, but in fact, there was a slight fluctuation in his heart. Once upon a time, I didn't expect that I would one day be able to involve these town-level national treasures that had been lost for a hundred years. Some of these feelings cannot be measured by money.

"That's $356 million, Mr. Mavey. Jorges quoted the price directly. Don't look at them, museum directors, usually in front of reporters, media, and the public, they are highly respected, and they look like old gods. But in the face of politics, they are nothing more than puppets, marionettes.

Moreover, almost all of the 8 million items in the British Museum were looted and looted by the British from all over the world. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the British government, there would be no British Museum today. Therefore, the existence of museums is not as noble as the outside world imagines.

"$356 million, yes, I'm okay. Ma Wei didn't even blink his eyes, and directly agreed. He knew that this was the "friendship price" given to him by the British royal family. After all, if the British want to sell cultural relics of this level, they can get an international auction and make a lot of money.

But they wouldn't choose to do that. Because the British are very proud and save face, once such a reckless auction will affect their international reputation......

After briefly discussing the transaction of the eight collections, Jojes, the director of the British Museum, very consciously withdrew from the room. Only the British ministers Joel Luke and Mavey were left to continue to negotiate about the next matter.

"Mr. Ma Wei, you see, now, I have almost helped you with the matter of historical relics. Isn't it time for us to talk about how to solve the current economic crisis in the UK?" Joel Luke asked Mavi with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Jolluke, then I'll just say it without going around the bush!" said Mavi, nodding slightly. Since the other party abides by the agreement so much, then he has no reason to break the contract.

"So, Mr. Joel Luke, after the deal is fully completed. I will introduce you to a very important partner for car manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers, and equipment manufacturers in your country. As long as the two sides can promote cooperation, then I can guarantee that in the next 30 years, these British companies will definitely have no problems in development. Ma Wei said with a sworn assurance.

"Mr. Marvey, may I ask now, who is that very important partner?" asked the British Secretary of State Joel Luke patiently to Marvey.

He actually wanted to ask one more question, and that is, "Mr. Mavey, what you just said is only our manufacturing companies in the UK. As for the energy industry, the Internet service industry, etc., what should be done?"

After listening to the British minister's question, Ma Wei replied with a smile, "Mr. Jolluke, he I just said is not anyone, but the country of the East, I think you should have guessed by now." ”

"Mr. Mavi, what are you talking about...... China?" Joel Luke looked at Ma Wei with some surprise. In the eyes of Europeans, they think that the domestic economy is very backward. So much so that those sports car companies in Europe are too lazy to transport the latest luxury sports cars to China for exhibition. I think that Chinese people can't afford to buy such an expensive sports car.

Among them, those car dealers in Britain are the most serious. Compared with Germany's BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, and Britain's Jaguar, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren and other luxury car brands, they entered the country very late.

You must know that with the huge domestic market, it saved Audi, which was about to go bankrupt. Until 2019, most of Audi's sales were in China. It can be said that the Chinese people fed Audi. As long as he doesn't die and leaves country Z, then he doesn't have to worry about being eliminated from the competition. It can be seen how great the potential of the domestic automobile market is.

"That's right, it's China. Let me tell you, Mr. Joel Luke, it is estimated that in the next 20 years, the average annual demand for automobiles in China alone will reach 24 million units. This figure is 12 times higher than the output of the entire British automobile industry in 2002!" Ma Wei gave the British minister a look that you can experience for yourself after speaking.

Last year, in 2002, these car companies in the UK produced a total of 1.7 million cars. And this pitiful amount of production, even if it is all shipped to China, it is not enough to even plug the gaps.

After listening to Ma Wei's words, he was stunned on the spot when he saw the British minister Joel Luke standing in front of him...... It was the first time that the British government had heard such a terrible estimate of car demand data.
