Chapter 154: Capus's Call!

In the Profit Report, it was argued that the main opponents of the Conservative political axe were a number of state-run public utilities, including Leyland depot workers, railroad workers, water workers and coal miners; The strategy of the Conservative Party is to launch a large-scale closure of factories in industry, including steel, railways, and coal mines, to close the loss-making ones and sell them to private capital at a profit. At the same time, the state's monopoly on some expanding sectors (e.g. telecommunications) should be abolished and transferred to private operations. Even hospitals and some municipal services will be awarded to private companies.

The report also advocates strengthening the police's capacity to intervene and giving the courts greater powers to combat public reactions. The report recommends that the weaker sectors – steel, Leyland depots, and train drivers – should be subdued first, and that the stronger sectors, such as waterworkers and coal miners, should first make concessions and then come into direct conflict with them.

After Thatcher came to power in 79, he gradually implemented this plan. Grassroots organisations at Leyland Depots (e.g. at Birmingham and Oxford) were broken up in several political axe attacks; The failure of the steelworkers in 80 years means that 100,000 workers have finally lost their jobs; In '82, the civil servants' union suffered a major setback, which led to a threat to the principles of civil servants' unionization. Now, the Conservative political axe is attacking the miners.

On the other hand, Britain's coal mining industry, which is the largest of the European recomplastitus along with West Germany, has a strategy of removing state subsidies for coal mining, closing economically inefficient pits and investing in new "super-pits", which are then sold to the oil industry.

In 1979, the French government subsidized coal production at £18 million, West Germany £14.9 million, Belgium £34 million, but Britain had a small £150, and even in 1982, it was only £3.2 million.

In addition to this reason, there is also a reason that the British political axe is ready to reduce coal production and vigorously develop the nuclear energy industry, which will inevitably close more mines, and this kind of policy is unacceptable to the miners, who believe that if there is enough investment, the entire coal mining industry still has enough development prospects, and hope that the political axe can make more subsidies for coal mines like other countries.

Because of this, British miners will launch strikes again and again.

In fact, in 1981, the miners' union was preparing for a general strike, and in 1983, Yorkshire was the first to attack, and about 40,000 or 50,000 coal miners formed pickets to go to the coal mines that had not yet started, trying to prevent other miners from working.

Although he had long known that this would be an unprecedented general strike, Lin Yu was still excited when this day came.

Why are you excited? Of course, it's for money, the bigger the British play, the more money he makes, and after this general strike, I believe that the British economy will regress a lot, so his chance to Lin Yu will come.

If you want to find a country in this world that can compete with the United States, except for the Soviet Union, there is only Britain, although Britain has been running behind the ass of the United States, but that is only the situation is good for them, if it is not for their benefit, I believe that Britain will definitely ignore the United States.

When it comes to the economy, Britain's economy has always been very strong, and when it comes to the military, you must know that Britain was the original empire that never fell behind, and no matter how bad the military is, it will go anywhere. When it comes to heritage, there are few countries in the world that can have more heritage than the United Kingdom.

Therefore, to let Lin Yu find a country that can confront the United States, Lin Yu preferred the United Kingdom, as for the Soviet Union, this aircraft carrier has now declined.

The general strike of British workers, although it has only just begun, has attracted the attention of many speculators, and one after another funds have begun to enter the British market, which has made the already chaotic Britain even more chaotic.

Lin Yu looked at all this, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile every day, which made the people of the Lin family very strange, what did this kid giggle at every day.

Lin Yuke doesn't care what other people think, he eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, and dreams that he is lying in pounds and dollars every day.

In addition, an international meeting encouraged the general strike in Britain.

On May 12, 1984, the International Federation of Miners, which included trade unions in the United States, Australia, South Africa and West Germany, met in Luxembourg and decided to impose a "coal blockade" on the United Kingdom, which included the unions of the United States, Australia, South Africa and West Germany, from which the United Kingdom imports coal mines.

Whenever Lin Yu saw this news, he couldn't stop smiling, you must know that Lin Yu's investment in the UK is about nearly 10 billion US dollars, and every time the stock of a British company falls, Lin Yu has to make a lot of money, not to mention that the stock of a British company has fallen more than a little now.

On June 18, 1984, on this day, something happened that shocked the whole world, on this day, located in the Oglive coking field near Rotherlam, the confrontation between about 10,000 striking workers and police completely shocked the world, this violent incident called the "Battle of Oglife", after Mr. Lin saw it, he sighed heavily.

Lin Yu heard Old Man Lin sigh, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, what's wrong?" ”

"I didn't expect the police in Britain to be like this, is this the so-called capitalism?" Old Man Lin sighed.

Lin Yu smiled and didn't speak.

Old Man Lin looked at Lin Yu and said lightly: "You should be able to make a lot of money this time." ”

Lin Yu touched his nose with a dry smile and said, "Hehe, you can also earn a wife." ”

At the same time, Jason and others in the UK are also constantly busy, and whenever these things happen, it is the first time for Jason and others, because only at this time can their role be maximized.

For these people, money is nothing in their eyes, you must know that the salary Lin Yu pays them is several times that of before, and there are bonuses, and the bonuses alone are enough for them to live in the United States for ten years, so what they are earning now is not money, but pleasure.

Think about it, how strong the sense of accomplishment is when several people play a country, and Jason and others are such a mentality.

Originally, Lin Yu wanted to go to the UK in person, but he didn't refuse without Jason's stern words, it was too chaotic in Britain now, Jason didn't dare to let Lin Yu come to the UK to take risks, for them, Lin Yu was worth much more than a UK.

Perhaps, in the world, only a few of them think so, of course, Lin Jianguo, Li Yuehua and other Lin Yu's family members may also think so.

Just when Jason and the others were busy in the UK, and Lin Yu had nothing to do in China, Lin Yu received Deli? The first sentence of the phone call from Kapus made Lin Yu break out in a cold sweat.

"Boss, Soros of Wall Street invites you to a Wall Street party."
