At 1Downing Street, Mrs. Thatcher walked into the prime minister's mansion at 9 o'clock as usual to start her day's work, and when she walked into her office and saw the thick stack of papers on the desk, she couldn't help but sigh, since that demonic 'Black Monday' came, she seemed to have endless government affairs every day, and even took up a lot of her rest time.

Despite this, she never wanted to slack off on her work, after telling the secretary to pour a cup of coffee, she sat down and began to deal with the text on the table, I don't know how long later, she withdrew her gaze from the text, and slowly rubbed her temples in a clockwise direction with her left finger, the lack of sleep and the long hours of continuous work made her head feel a little heavy. At this moment her secretary walked in, knocked lightly on the open door, and said, "Your Excellency, the ministers have arrived, and they are waiting for you to preside over the meeting." ”

"Okay, I'll be there shortly." After reviewing the documents that had been spread out in front of her, Mrs. Thatcher got up and went to the conference room, as the secretary said, all the ministers she needed had arrived, including the deputy minister, the secretary of industry, the secretary of state of affairs, the secretary of state and the secretary of the exchequer.

"Guys, I'm sorry I'm late." Mrs. Thatcher sat down and said to the secretary who was going out, "Alice, please bring me another cup of coffee, thank you." ”

Vice-Chancellor Jeffrey? Howe said with concern: "Madam, you look bad today, I think you should give yourself a vacation." ”

"Perhaps, but now that the people need me, I can't leave them behind and go on vacation. Okay, let's start the meeting, there are two issues to be discussed today, the first is whether it is necessary to reduce the interest rate on bank loans again. Hundreds of businesses are still failing every day, and the government needs to step up its support at a time. This is my opinion, and I would like to hear your thoughts. ”

In the past month or so, banks have lowered lending rates several times in response to the stock market crash, which has eased the wave of corporate failures. This has curbed the increase in the unemployment rate, but it has also caused the signs of inflation to begin to appear, and if the loan interest rate continues to be lowered at this time, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the inflation rate. However, if the interest rate on loans is not lowered, the wave of business closures without financial support may continue, the economy will continue to deteriorate, and the unemployment rate will increase. Then more social problems will be derived, and it will be neither advance nor retreat.

None of the people in the room knew how to answer, and finally the chancellor spoke: "Successive reductions in lending rates will increase the pressure on the government's finances, and it will also lead to an increase in inflation, and my opinion is to continue to increase the privatization of state-owned enterprises in exchange for more funds for infrastructure construction." Increase the employment rate. Similarly, the introduction of foreign capital will be increased, and the market needs capital but it is not unlimited support from the government. ”

The Home Secretary went on to say: "I agree with John that if inflation continues to rise, it is likely to create more unpredictable dangers for our economy. Under the current severe situation, it is imperative to increase infrastructure construction and increase the employment rate. ”

"Don't those companies and those factories care?" The tone of the Minister of Industry was very bad: "Now the unions have made a fuss, they are demanding that the factories be opened, and the companies are guaranteed benefits. If it continues like this, I don't know what will happen. ”

"John is right, we need to do more to bring in foreign money, and it may be more effective to replace government functions with the market's own forces." Is it Jeffrey who is speaking? Hao, speaking of this, a very strange expression suddenly appeared on his face: "I heard the news last night that Gu Chen in Hong Kong intends to invest at least $1oo00 million in the UK in the next two years. ”

"The robber?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer almost blurted out that he was in charge of the finances and finance of the whole of Britain, so he had a natural aversion to Gu Chen, a person who had a big windfall in the stock market crash, and he quickly saw that things were not simple: "He may have so much money." But why should he invest in the UK? ”

The Minister of Industry gave an explanation: "Gu Chen's Tang Dynasty Investment Company has negotiated with Jaguar Automobile Company and Luofu Automobile Company, and Tang Dynasty Investment will wholly acquire Jaguar Automobile Company and Luofu's Land Rover Automobile Company. In addition to this, Tang Dynasty Investment Company is also planning to buy Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Rolls-Royce Motors from Eaton, and you should know what Rolls-Royce Motors means to the UK, so I called Mayer personally. Eaton will only sell Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, I heard that Tang Dynasty Investment also bought Lamborghini, an Italian sports car manufacturer, maybe Gu Chen wants to form a large automobile group."

At this time, the foreign secretary, who had not spoken, spoke: "Although I also think that Gu Chen is an unscrupulous robber, but who makes him rich, if he really combines Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover and Lamborghini into an automobile group, it is definitely a good thing for the British automobile industry, he has a large amount of money to support the group's exhibition, maybe this is an opportunity for us to catch up with the German and American automobile industry." ”

"If we just form these companies into a new auto group, we will naturally have to support it, which will bring us a lot of jobs and a lot of foreign investment. But don't forget that Gu Chen's target is also Rolls-Royce Motors. Don't you think that the news that 'at least $100 million will be invested in two years' was deliberately released by Gu Chen? The purpose is to tempt us. ”

The Home Secretary glanced at the silent Margaret Thatcher and continued: "He knew we needed money now, so he put his chips out first, and if we agreed to sell Rolls-Royce Motive to him, he would invest in the UK. Conversely, maybe not a penny. ”

"So I think he's not just a robber, he's a shrewd and insidious hunter who knows how to take advantage of his prey's weaknesses and strike a fatal blow."

The deputy minister said with a puzzled face: "Whether he is a robber or a hunter, I don't understand one thing, why we can sell Rolls-Royce Motivation to the Americans but not to the Hong Kong people, you must know that the current Hong Kong people are still the children of Her Majesty the Queen." Moreover, after the stock market crash, the Intelligence Bureau specially investigated Gu Chen, and now he has no signs of Yan zhòng's tilting towards the Zhongzhong-Guoda-6. On the contrary, he had personal relations with many powerful people in the United States, especially George W. Bush, the son of Vice President Bush. Walker? Bush, the two had a very close relationship, and even formed a joint venture to form an oil company. ”

"All indications show that his position is not problematic at all, and if he sells Rolls-Royce Motors, I think it will be a good deal to sell him in exchange for tens of billions of dollars in investment."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hasn't the Intelligence Bureau found out how much money he has robbed from the United States?" If he was willing to invest all the money he had stolen in the United States in the UK, I don't think it would be a big deal to sell him Rolls-Royce Motor. ”

Everyone automatically filtered the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and invested all the money stolen from the United States in the United Kingdom? Is this possible? I'm afraid no one would do this except for fools, and they didn't know how much money Gu Chen had, so this idea was even more impossible.

They are more concerned about Gu Chen's position, everyone here has seen the investigation report of the Intelligence Bureau before today, and the content of the report shows that although Gu Chen has cooperated with China-Guoda-6 in film and television, and there are recent signs of investment in China-Guoda-6 real estate, his political position on China-Guoda-6 is not obvious, but he has close personal relations with the elites in the United States.

In addition, this time Gu Chen chose to invest in the British automobile industry, rather than the United States, Germany, or other countries where the automobile industry is more advanced, which can greatly indicate that he has a sense of belonging to the British country, so it can be concluded that Gu Chen should be more inclined to the West in terms of political positions. But after all, Rolls-Royce Motors is the main aviation power company in Britain, and when it comes to national defense and security, it must be decided by the prime minister, so everyone looks at Margaret Thatcher, who is sitting in the seat.

After pondering for a while, Margaret Thatcher finally spoke: "Britain rules Hong Kong for nearly a world, British culture occupies a very important position in Hong Kong, and Gu Chen is a native of Hong Kong, so it is natural for him to be influenced by British culture, I think we may try to win him over, not only because he has the funds we urgently need, but also because of his influence in Hong Kong." ”

"You must know that in less than 1o years, we will transfer Hong Kong's sovereignty to China, and from now on, it is very necessary to win over some rich and influential people who have important status and influence in Hong Kong to ensure our interests in Hong Kong after the transfer of sovereignty."

Mrs. Thatcher did not explicitly agree to sell Rolls-Royce Motivation to Gu Chen, but the meaning could not be clearer. Moreover, she also raised the issue to the level of ensuring the interests of Hong Kong after the transfer of sovereignty, which is tantamount to increasing Gu Chen's weight in the hearts of everyone present.

The deputy minister immediately said: "Obviously, selling Rolls-Royce Motivation Company to Gu Chen is a very good way to win over, of course, in order to get his money out of the bank to the maximum, we should make a list of investments as a quid pro quo for selling Rolls-Royce to him." ”

Mrs. Thatcher nodded, and said, "I need a list like this, and I'll leave it to you, Geoffrey, and I'll leave it to tomorrow, and if you have no other opinions, it's settled." As for the first item to be held in abeyance, the second item is now ......"
