Chapter 160: Yang Weiping's Political Investment
"Sir Yang, I wonder what kind of benefits you hope to get?" Mrs. Thatcher seemed to have been mentally prepared, looked at Yang Weiping seriously, and asked with a straight face.
Yang Weiping smiled indifferently, and said with a smile without answering a question: "It has been 32 years since the end of the Second World War of the British Empire. Margaret Thatcher, as the leader of the Conservative Party, don't you think it's too slow for the current state of economic development in Britain?"
"Because of this, the aluminum-lithium alloy we bought from you at a great price has just been put into production, and the current market prospects are very good, so we can't afford to lose!" replied Margaret Thatcher solemnly.
"I know that the aluminum-lithium alloy put into production by Aluminium is now in short supply. Yang Weiping smiled disappreciatively, waved his hand and said: "However, if this government gets extra points in the next round of the general election because of this project, Mrs. Thatcher, as a strong contender for the next prime minister, don't you think this is quite a disadvantage for the Conservative Party?"
"The Conservative Party will certainly run for the next prime minister, but political competition must not be at the expense of national interests!" Margaret Thatcher said categorically.
Yang Weiping was stunned when he heard this, and then secretly respected the iron lady in front of him.
He knew in his heart that if history had not changed, Margaret Thatcher would have been elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for three consecutive terms.
However, the relatively mature second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy that the British government bought from him can now be said to have completely monopolized the global aluminum-lithium alloy market, and even the Soviet Union and the United States are trying to order a batch from the United Kingdom.
If this momentum is not stopped, it is very likely that the current ruling party of the United Kingdom, the Labour Party, will appropriately alleviate the economic weakness caused by unemployment and inflation in Britain to a certain extent. This created unpredictable variables for Margaret Thatcher's political career.
Now that he has made up his mind to make political investments in Britain, Yang Weiping certainly does not want to see Margaret Thatcher and the British Conservative Party, who led the party, deviate from the original historical trajectory because of the fluttering wings of his little butterfly.
"The interests of the British Labour Party do not represent the national interests of the British Empire. Yang Weiping's eyes became solemn, and he said solemnly: "Facts have proved that the current British government under the Labor Party has not played a role in promoting the development of the British economy.
On the contrary, I think that Labour's philosophy of governance, and the expansion of trade unions, will only make the political and economic environment in Britain worse and worse. If it continues to toss like this, the national economy of the British Empire will inevitably be reduced to a third-rate country in Europe!"
"The power of the trade unions must indeed be curbed and weakened!" Thatcher apparently agreed with Yang Weiping's view, and as if she had met a rare bosom friend, she stood up passionately and said:
As the leader of the Conservative Party, I will never tolerate the Labour Party and the trade unions allowing unemployment and inflation to grow in the country!
Britain's economy must be reformed! It must strictly control government spending, reform the social welfare system, cut welfare spending, tighten monetary policy, raise interest rates, and carry out large-scale privatization of state-owned enterprises and joint-stock reforms!"
"Very correct!" Yang Weiping stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "Margaret Thatcher, I fully agree with and strongly support your ruling philosophy! The functions of government and enterprises must be separated. The implementation of the reform of the private shareholding system in state-owned enterprises will inevitably be able to revitalize a large amount of private capital in the private sector. This is the most effective means to improve the macroeconomic environment, control the money supply, and deal with inflation!
Hearing Yang Weiping say this, the Iron Lady felt extremely shocked in her heart, and at the same time, she was extremely excited and excited.
This is because Yang Weiping's remarks are exactly the same as the ruling strategy in her mind in terms of macroeconomic policy! She is also prepared to regard dealing with inflation and improving the macroeconomic environment as the core objectives of her policy, and to control the money supply as an effective tool for dealing with inflation.
"Sir Yang, do you also think that this can be in line with the fundamental national interests of the British Empire at present, and completely reverse the unfavorable situation of domestic economic development?" Mrs. Thatcher could not suppress the excitement in her heart, walked up to Yang Weiping, grabbed his hands tightly, and asked with joy and inexplicability.
"Only in this way can the economic development of the British Empire maintain sustained growth in the future and achieve qualitative take-off!" Yang Weiping nodded without hesitation.
Mrs. Thatcher quickly calmed down, and she let go of her hand and walked back and forth in place, her deep-knit brows indicating that she was now thinking about something important.
After about three minutes, Margaret Thatcher stood still in front of Yang Weiping again, stared at him deeply, and asked solemnly, "Sir Yang, I understand what you mean. However, I would like to see the loss of Alcoa and the government as minimized!"
"The government will not have anything to lose!" Yang Weiping said categorically, "and the existing unemployment rate in Britain will not increase." At best, it only reduced the order of the British aluminum company by about 70%. ”
Seeing that Margaret Thatcher returned to the sofa and sat down, Yang Weiping continued: "I am a British baron appointed by the Queen of England, and my interests are consistent with the interests of the British Empire. The stronger the UK, the stronger my global investment, including my various scientific research experiments, can be effectively guaranteed.
However, the various measures of the Labour government not only made me lose sight of the future of Britain, but also made me see that the British Empire was declining day by day, and the economic development was not even comparable to that of the defeated little Japan.
Mrs. Thatcher, I have followed your many public speeches and your bold remarks on a series of issues raised by you, such as the failure of Keynesian monetarism and the threat of the Soviet Union, and I fully agree with it! Therefore, I am very optimistic about the Conservative Party's election for the next Prime Minister and Cabinet!
I can give you a statement that I will use my good relationship with the Field family to persuade the Field family to support the Conservative Party, and I am personally prepared to give 10 million pounds to the Conservative Party's campaign funding.
If, I mean, you succeed in the next round of the general election and have the privilege of becoming the first female Prime Minister in the history of the British Empire, the only thing I can hope for is a true friendship between you and your husband, Sir Denny!"
"Sir Young, whether the Conservatives succeed or not, you are already my youngest friend, Margaret Hilda Thatcher!" said Margaret Thatcher, standing up solemnly, "though you are a businessman and a genius scientist, your political wisdom is no less than your scientific genius." I hope that in the next round of elections, you will be invited to be my senior adviser to the campaign!"
"It is my pleasure! Yang Weiping stretched out his right palm towards Thatcherf.
Margaret Thatcher took Yang Weiping's powerful palm with both hands, and Yang Weiping put her left hand on the backs of her hands and shook it heavily.
It was a historic handshake!
As one of the two witnesses of the time, Mai Lihao wrote in his memoirs:
The Iron Lady and the greatest scientist and most successful businessman in the world today, Baron John Young, have never been in contact or communication before. However, their political views and opinions are strikingly similar. …,
Since Margaret Thatcher was elected prime minister of the British Empire, she used her unique political wisdom and iron skills to take LinkedIn from a high-speed track of economic development since World War II.
In the EU's fighting ring, she fought hard to defend Britain's economic interests.
In the United States, a meeting with the newly elected President Reagan cemented their newfound friendship. She never let this mutual respect bind her hands and feet.
When President Reagan ordered the invasion of Grenada, a member of the Commonwealth, without her consent, she was blunt-out.
In the face of Argentina's invasion of the territory of the British Empire, even if it was just a small island thousands of miles away from the British mainland, she still did not hesitate to choose to defend by force at any cost!
Despite her childish insults by critics, her popularity and influence grew over time.
He is the lifelong aristocrat of the British Empire, the helm of the world's largest celestial and commercial empire, the father of the nano era, and Baron John Young!
Of course, he has a more resounding name, the father of the era of Chinese power, Yang Weiping!
After negotiating with Margaret Thatcher about the British Turkoon, Yang Weiping talked freely about his idea of founding the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong with Mai Lihao.
Both Mr. McRihao and Mrs. Thatcher expressed great interest in Yang Weiping's new positioning of Hong Kong as a base for high-tech research and industry.
Mai Lihao highly praised and affirmed Tiangong Aluminum Group's measures to protect Hong Kong's environment from industrial pollution and did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to move away as a whole.
In the East Kowloon area, the construction of a high-tech city with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as the source point, supplemented by a number of junior colleges as satellite schools, integrating teaching, training, scientific research, experimentation and production, such a grand idea made Lord Mak Lihao, as the Governor of Hong Kong, very excited.
In particular, Yang Weiping's concept that Hong Kong must have pillar industries with Hong Kong characteristics was strongly supported by Mai Lihao.
To develop all the land in Guantang, which covers an area of nearly 10 square kilometers, is absolutely not something that Yang Weiping can support with his personal financial resources. The Hong Kong government and Hong Kong's local tycoons must be mobilized to work together and work together.
Margaret Thatcher also made it clear that if the Conservative Party succeeds in the British general election in May 1979, the following year, the Conservative Party will definitely give full support to the development of Hong Kong...... ),
