"The weather in London is really weird! It's not evening yet, and the sky is already dark and there is no way to go! Du Yongxiao complained while sitting in the car.

Tom, the housekeeper, said, "It's not because of the smog?" London has always been known as the fog capital, and everyone thinks that the word fog is very romantic, but in fact, we Londoners have long had enough of this kind of weather. ”

Jerry, the black driver in charge of driving in front, couldn't help but complain, "Yes, 28 out of 30 days in a month in London are foggy days." Today's situation is a little better, after all, seeing the sunshine, I want to see the sunshine on weekdays, so extravagant and ruthless! ”

Du Yongxiao certainly understands the complaints of these two "London aborigines", although Londoners like Dickens's "Orphan of the Fog", but it does not mean that they like this smog weather, look at the street outside at the moment, it is obviously evening, but the London traffic police have to light gas lamps as road signs to guide traffic for vehicles.

"So if there's a way to change the status quo, I mean, change the weather in London, at least let you see more sunshine, would you?"

"Uh, what?"

Tom, the white butler, and Jerry, the black driver, were stunned.

"I'll be honest, you don't have to look at me like that." Du Yongxiao touched his chin, "If you want London to change, then drive quickly and let me meet that honorable Conservative Party leader, Edward Sith!" ”

……

"Oops! This time, there is nothing new in our proposal, many of the views are clichéd, but in comparison, the other party's promotion of long-term economic development is extremely powerful! ”

A villa in London,

Edward Sith was in his living room discussing a proposal for a speech with a group of Conservatives for the Prime Minister's campaign.

One member said: "Since they make such a suggestion, why don't we also make the same one, it's a big deal to see whose brilliance it is!" ”

"Nonsense! We can only do this after each other's butts, and then we will be laughed at by the voters! ”

"Yes, we have to have our own unique point of view!"

"If you can't learn from others, you have to be novel, it's so difficult!"

Everyone frowned one by one.

Margaret Thatcher said, "Actually, we can find something else—"

"For example?" Edward looked at her.

Although Thatcher was a woman, Edward valued her and thought she was better than the average man. Especially does things vigorously and resolutely, which is very much in line with his appetite.

"I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but -——"

"But what? If you don't have a specific content, don't talk about it! ”

"yes, I thought you were so good!"

Others made sarcastic remarks.

Thatcher could only shut up.

Edward glared at the others, "What about you, what advice do you have other than learning from your opponents?" ”

"This -——"

The crowd was silent.

Edward sighed, the huge Conservative Party, I thought there were many talents, but in the end, there was no one who could come up with ideas.

At this moment, someone came in and reported: "Sir, there is a Chinese named Du Yongxiao outside asking to see you." ”

"Du Yongxiao?" Edward was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't remember who Du Yongxiao was, and was about to order people to be driven away.

Mrs. Thatcher said, "Isn't he the guest of honor of Mr. Howard?" ”

A word to remind the dreamer.

"I remember! It turned out to be him! ”

Last time, Du Yongxiao was a guest at Howard Castle and had a relationship with Edward and others.

And Du Yongxiao gave sharp comments on the future development trend of the United Kingdom, as well as the political economy, which opened Edward's eyes.

"Sir, do you want him to come in?"

"Hmm-"

Edward glanced at everyone, "Stay out of the way for now!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

As the leader of the Conservative Party, Edward is still very authoritative, and a word immediately made everyone on the scene disappear.

"Let that Mr. Du in!"

"Yes!"

Momentary –

Du Yongxiao walked into the hall with Tom, the personal butler.

When Tom first came to such a place, he was so excited that he even trembled a little, and he looked at Edward, and said that this might be the future Prime Minister!

So, he was even more excited.

In contrast, Du Yongxiao was very calm, not shocked by the eyes at all, and even saw Edward, and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Sith!" ”

Edward stepped forward with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Du! ”

The two shook hands.

"Please forgive me for disturbing Your Excellency so late!"

"You're a rarity! Come, please be seated! Edward was very polite on the surface, but in fact, he looked down on Du Yongxiao in his heart.

The disparity between the identities and status of the two is too great, what do you mean by coming here rashly? If it weren't for Howard's face, Edward would not have met Du Yongxiao at all.

As for Du Yongxiao's wonderful performance last time, Edward thought it was purely a coincidence.

Perhaps before this, Du Yongxiao studied some economic and political content in advance, and then deliberately showed it to everyone, to put it bluntly, it was a kind of social opportunism.

Of course, Du Yongxiao also knew that British politeness, including gentlemanly etiquette, was full of hypocrisy, so he planned to get straight to the point.

"Mr. Sith, I'm actually here to give you a big gift this time!"

"Uh, gift-giving?"

In Edward's surprise, Du Yongxiao asked the butler to take out the gift.

Edward took it, but it was a sealed brown paper document bag.

It's kind of mysterious.

Edward sneered inwardly, and opened the bag with his hands—

Inside is a manuscript.

"Uh, what is this?"

"This is the British Smog Control Plan I wrote!" Du Yongxiao took the coffee brought by the maid, looked at Edward and smiled.

Edward was stunned, "Controlling the smog? His eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

Du Yongxiao saw the change in the other party's expression, and had to admire, no wonder the other party was able to become the leader of the Conservative Party and had a super comprehension.

In fact, London smog has always been a problem for Londoners!

Not to mention anything else, the "London Smog Incident" in 1952 alone made Londoners suffer a lot.

From December 4 to 9, 1952, the sky over London was controlled by a high-pressure system, and the exhaust gases from a large number of factory production and residential coal-fired heating were difficult to diffuse and accumulated over the city.

The city of London is shrouded in a dark fog, there are almost no cars on the road, and people cautiously grope their way along the sidewalks. The electric lights on the street were as bright as they were in the smoke, like starlight in the dark.

Until 10 December, a strong westerly wind blew away the terrifying smoke that hung over London.

The London smog incident killed 12,000 people directly or indirectly due to air pollution, and has spurred the process of environmental protection legislation in the UK, including pushing households to switch to natural gas for heating, and moving coal-fired power plants from major cities.

In 1954, London passed a special bill to combat pollution. In 1956, the Clean Air Act was passed and became national law.

Now, although the smog incident has been a long time ago, but the smog situation in London has not been alleviated, Du Yongxiao threw out the treatment plan at this time, immediately reminded Edward that he can make a fuss about this, focusing on the "climate card" and "environmental protection card", and compete with competitors!

Besides, the governance plans written by Du Yongxiao are almost all many practical methods in the previous life.

At first, Edward didn't pay much attention to it, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and finally he trembled a little because of the excitement.

At the same time as obtaining the treasure, Edward was once again impressed by Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao observed the words and looked at the color, and saw that Edward was excited to look through the manuscript, so he said: "We Chinese pay attention to reciprocating the peach, the last time I met Mr. Sith, I have long regarded it as a confidant, this time I specially offered advice, please smile!" ”

Edward smiled and put down the Chinese manuscript, "Your proposal is good, but it is very difficult to implement!" For example, what you wrote above about controlling the emission of polluting gases by large enterprises, this alone will make our party make enemies everywhere! And as you know, most of the sources of funding for our party are donations from large corporations, so how can we continue to have financial resources? ”

Edward saw that Du Yongxiao was from Hong Kong, and he was not afraid of him talking nonsense everywhere, so he directly criticized Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Are you talking about campaign funds?" Money, I have some -——."

Edward thought that Du Yongxiao was bragging, and said disdainfully: "How many?" ”

"Thirty million dollars!" Du Yongxiao took a sip of coffee and licked his lips: "Is enough enough?" ”
