Chapter 65 Meeting with the Prime Minister
,,,,,,,,,,,,
MacDonald was 64 years old in 1930, but he still looked like an active old gentleman, wearing a small vest, and wearing a mature style. He felt mature and charming. Of course, being able to become a British person must have his personal charm.
This time, Mr. Xiang respected this big businessman who did not like to show up and was committed to hard work. In fact, when MacDonald arrived, he fucked a woman in the mansion. The sudden attack on Mr. Xiang made Long Chongjiu feel a little at a loss. It was time to come.
In addition, Long Chongjiu didn't expect that this girl would come to visit someone else during lunch break. It was originally because Long Chongjiu was going to visit him.
After rushing back from Exeter yesterday, he was waiting for the summons of the prime minister, and he never expected that he would come to meet in person.
Ten minutes later, Long Chongjiu and Jenny, who was in love, packed up and rushed downstairs, apologized to the elderly, and then showed a warm welcome. MacDonald himself did not see anything, but was quite surprised by the beautiful lady beside him. He found that this shrewd rich nobleman had the hobby of collecting beauties, and all those who came and went around him were beauties.
MacDonald's sharp eyes are still very obvious. There is indeed no woman with moderate sex around Long Chongjiu.
The people who accompanied the Prime Minister were also warmly treated, and the housekeeper was responsible for their reception, but Long Chongjiu invited MacDonald to the second floor, where they held an informal private sex talk in the luxurious living room there.
It was about to enter February 1930. MacDonald had seen the arrival of the economic crisis from various government reports. The government would face the problem of tens of thousands of workers being unemployed. In October last year, he was forced to restore diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union under pressure from workers.
The young man sitting in front of him looked more young and unique than he imagined. He looked more like a tough and cold gangster head, but the powerful confident smile on his face was full of irresistible affinity, especially his deep eyes.
In the past few days, the two ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Colonial bombarded themselves in turn. They almost described this young noble with a dual identity as an omnipotent person. In fact, he did a very good job. He shocked countless people, whether in Shanghai or England in the Chinese world, he looked admiring when the colonial minister explained his strategy. At that time, MacDonald thought that the colonial minister had given him the good things, but of course this was just a kind of unfounded speculation.
With his current status and reputation in Britain, it was not an exaggeration to appoint him as the ambassador to China. He was also ready to further reuse him and even pull him into the Labor Party to become a powerful arm and support, but he firmly expressed his determination to return to the East to continue to plunder money.
After all, he was a businessman born a wealthy fan. He never had enough normal politics. This is an irresponsible manifestation of the country and nation. Most of the time, he might involve all his wealth in his Phoenix group and have a different view on his "selfless" acquisition of MacDonald. In fact, he has mastered enough political capital because of this. If he wants to squeeze into politics, then no one can guarantee that the next meeting will be no. How many workers are supporting him and how many industries are supporting him?
There is no need to investigate this issue, it is obvious at a glance that during the Great Depression raging to Britain, he seemed to have more information to perform on stage.
"Mr. Jason, Secretary Romry and Minister Raphael have repeatedly told me about your deeds and ideas. I have long wanted to have a face-to-face conversation with you, but I was busy, and even the time was squeezed out today at noon. I was troubled by many problems. The government is about to face great difficulties. In the UK, there will be no less than 10,000 workers facing reemployment. This is the accuracy of the data. As the economy continues to decline, the Phoenix company will acquire it at this moment.
Many large and medium-sized industries across the country have injected great vitality into the British economy. This is a good thing that makes us happy, but the depression may not be stopped and avoided. Vice President Feeney also admitted to the media that your company will have the idea of layoffs in the future. Yes, we cannot avoid this. Here I still want to say something for countless people in the UK who will lose their jobs. If Mr. Jason can reduce this plan as much as possible, it will reduce some pressure on our government. In fact, it will be difficult."
"Yes, Master Pang, this is difficult, and it requires me to take greater courage. I can choose an economic lowest point after the New Year or five years to carry out my acquisition plan. Maybe in 1932 or 33, but now I have stepped in. I have already paid a lot because I don't want the British economy to be seriously setbacked. Although my little effort is just a drop in the bucket in the economic crisis, it still helps many people overcome difficulties. I don't want to keep anything in front of Master Pang. I can tell you directly that if the government can guarantee that my interests in China will not be damaged, then I will do my best to do my best.
To repay the government, try to reduce the original reduction plan of 70% according to my economic situation. The political situation in the Far East is turbulent. The main external factors are the Soviet Union and Japan. There are also huge changes in China's domestic situation. In the future, wars may break out. I can assert that if large-scale international conflicts occur in the Far East will affect the world. In fact, after the Italian fascist party came to power, they are showing their ambitions and expansion. Germany also wants to be humiliated by the war. If ambitionist like Merlini appears on the political stage in Berlin, then I think World War II will kick off in the late 1930s."
Although he simply analyzed the current situation, he still looked far away, while MacDonald was surprised by his wisdom. The British government has been paying attention to the dynamics in Europe. The Italian Merlini was promoting his dictatorship, while Germany has indeed accumulated deep grudges. The shame during World War I gave this nation a crazy belief in revenge. They now lack a crazier leader.
But McDonald knew clearly that countries did not have the conditions to launch a large-scale war during the depression, so he was not worried about this. He might have stepped down from the wilderness a few years later. The most important thing is to do the current thing well. Let the damn World War II or War go to the god of the damn World War II. Britain's economy will not collapse, and four and five battles are enough to deal with it. His task is to keep the economy alive.
It must be admitted that this young man has a shrewd mind and foresight. His amazing wealth shows how outstanding he is. How many people in the world can win the British economy in one fell swoop? Almost nothing, in the United States, a dragon master Douglas appeared. He threw 5 billion yuan on Wall Street. Maybe he has the strength to compete with Jason. Of course, that was before he threw away money. I guess he couldn't do it now.
Under the strict American secret blockade, Long Zun's image did not connect MacDonald with Jason Eyes. Media people at this time still abide by professional ethics and they are still disdainful of exposing privacy, and Long Chongjiu also deliberately concealed this point.
"Mr. Jason, the interests of the Far East are one of the important benefits of our British government. The Chinese world still has great potential to dig. It can be said that gold is everywhere there. I personally will give you great support at this point. Both ministers strongly recommend you to serve as the British Consul General of the Shanghai Concession. Considering that your interests are concentrated in the Pearl City of the East, I basically agree with their views. Regarding the arrangements of the Far East Fleet, I will also further collude with the Navy Minister. We do not allow the coastline there to be blocked by the Japanese. Indeed, Europe has temporarily lost its main strategic position under the economic depression. I believe that naval powers such as the United States, France, and Italy are also having a headache about their domestic economic decline. It is unwise to let the main force of the Royal Fleet continue to stay in the English Channel, but for the sake of local security, we cannot mobilize a large number of fleets far away from here. You are very clear about this."
"Of course, Master Xiang, the main force of the English Channel is the national defense team that ensures local security. In fact, the Far Fleet is already very strong, but there is a wise naval general who has made a decision to lead them. A few days ago, I met Major General Cunningham, the captain of the Rodney. He has excellent strategic vision. He has always been paying attention to the situation in the Far East. He is depressed that the Navy Minister wants to transfer him to England to strengthen the defense line. In the current naval world, the Rodney has super combat power. It is a strategic mistake to be placed in England to watch the scenery and sit down to see the loss of interests in the Far East. This is a big strategic mistake, I personally think."
"I fully agree with Mr. Jason. The strongest naval lineup in the world is listed on the British coastline, and the Nelson, which was launched in the same year as Rodney. In fact, since the first battleship, the Fearless, was launched in 1906, we have more than 40 battleships alone. The fleet in the Far East is basically a destroyer, and it should indeed be strengthened."
"Son-God said it is right. Japan is also a naval power. They have long been ambitious to dominate the ocean. The next step is to challenge our British naval overlord and advance towards the Indian Ocean Atlantic Ocean. This is an ambitious nation and must be guarded against."
"Yes, Mr. Jason, you're right. Actually, I found that you should be more political than businessman. This is the truth."
"Sir, economy and politics are inseparable. If I want to do more in the economic field, I must pay attention to politics and study every country with my industry, study their politics, economy, business, and other aspects."
"Young man, you are our good example. You have great ideals and ambitions. I am very happy that you have half of the English blood. It is an honor of Great Britain. Just yesterday Her Majesty the Queen informed me that she would meet Mr. Jason at the palace."
"Oh..., that would be the supreme honor of the Jason John family. I am very happy that I can get such an opportunity."
The cordial meeting with McDonald continued until after four o'clock in the afternoon. Long Chongjiu asked questions and gave positive answers to MacDonald's proposal for the development direction of Phoenix's company in the next few years. Everything is preparing for war. Phoenix's company is producing large quantities of weapons and warships, and put forward the slogan of a six-year plan. Of course, this requirement is kept confidential so as not to be criticized by international public opinion.
McDonald felt that this was a gamble. The weapons produced in six years were imaginable. In fact, after Long Chongjiu was launched, they could completely wipe out the UK. The battleships they rely on forever to sank into the sea during the bombardment of aircraft carriers. Long Chongjiu will acquire five aircraft manufacturers in his hands to integrate them into an aircraft group. If the British Air Force wants to ask for any aircraft, it must discuss with him. Although the Royal Arsenal also has the ability to build aircraft, they are used to relying on those aircraft manufacturers. After all, their capabilities are limited. The largest aircraft group was established in Birmingham, England.
After Long Chongjiu sent the prime minister away, he returned to Luo's house and gathered with Luo Bingzhang and Xie Hongzhuang in the hall.
A few days ago when he went to Exeter, Chen Jingwu set out for Tokyo, Japan, and the Asian state strategy has reached a mature stage.
When a wife saw Brother Jiu come back, she liked to surround him. They liked to listen to Brother Jiu, which was a kind of enjoyment.
"Brother, send a telegram to the United States, asking Bill Hoth, Wallem, Henry and others to come to London for a meeting. After this meeting, I will return to Shanghai, and my trip to Europe and North America will also end. You can sit here and be your European president, beautiful girl, ha..."
The girls made him laugh, but Luo Bingzhang was still a little bit in this regard. The London girl who was following him had already made him bigger. No one knew whether there were any messes outside, but Long Chongjiu knew, so there must be.
"Fengqin, you have done everything in the UK? Have you asked our factory to build weapons so hard to prepare for war?"
Long Chongjiu looked at Xie Hongzhuang and smiled and said, "The war must be fought, but not now. We are just preparing in advance. The situation in Europe will kick off the change because of the advent of a big ambitious man. This person will appear in Germany with deep grievances. After World War I, this nation was treated unfairly by all countries. This is the highest enjoyment of the defeated country. They are waiting for the opportunity to regain. So if there is such a person on the stage, it is when the problem is about to arise. Italy's Merlini is promoting his own dictatorship in China. He lacks a partner in the international community. Maybe he is waiting for such a person in Germany to appear. I must be prepared to make a fortune in war. Even if there is no war in Europe, Asia will definitely have a patriotic person like me. I must help my true compatriots. Now I have helped two fake compatriots. It shows how kind I am, just like God."
Xie Hongzhuang gave him a blank look and said, "Are you helping others? It's just to achieve your goal of economic control of them."
"I am worthy of being my European Financial Director. You can see that, brother, you monitor her and find the news and take it down immediately."
"Me? Good brother, you've found the wrong person. My second sister-in-law took me down. I'm your accomplice, and I've done it together for her."
Everyone laughed, Long Chongjiu shook his head with a wry smile, Yun Qingya and others showed joy, and Brother Jiu finally came back home.
"Fengqin, this time I invested a lot in the UK. It's almost the same if I don't have 200 million yuan. Jason Fund went public, acquired, and the things you want to build. However, nearly 80% of the UK's economy is in control, and the money is worth it."
"The investment in the UK is over, so wait to recover profits. The US has not started yet, it has just laid a foundation."
"It seems that this time I haven't made enough money? Haha..., your Huo Hui is really scary, my sister-in-law admires you."
"I can't spend so much money if I die. Besides, I have a purpose, and the more I am, the more I am, the more I am."
Xiao Liuxian inserted in and said, "Brother Jiu, have you decided when to return? What else should I do here?"
"I'm waiting for the Queen of England to be summoned. I've been doing this in the UK. If she doesn't give me a title, I'll let 10,000 people be laid off first, ha... and then go to Birmingham to issue strategic tasks. Well, there's basically nothing going on at that time."
Maybe it will take five days. It seems that the day you return to Shanghai is coming soon, and Yun Qingya, Qiaoer and Xiao Liuxian are all excited.
"Wife, I may not go back here in the past few days. I will have to deal with some British politicians there. You are all obedient."
"It's Brother Jiu, we're good at it, and we won't disturb you." Xiao Liuxian replied, thinking to himself, you should comfort the mother and daughter.
Everyone was tacit, and no one knew the Ninth Brother’s psychology. He is a person who values friendship, and Demi and his daughter did help a lot.
"Hey...Sister-in-law, you communicate more with Demi and the others. The financial power is basically in your hands. As the financial director of Europe, you have the right to interfere with every wealthy investment, especially to support scientific and technological research and development and military production. During this period, we will definitely pay compensation. If you want to make money, it is impossible, so I will be satisfied with the loss."
"Don't worry, Fengqin, my sister-in-law will supervise you well." As soon as Xie Hongzhuang finished speaking, a servant came into the outside.
Behind the servant was a brother who followed Sty to protect Demi and his daughter. He came in and said, "Brother Jiu, something happened there."
Everyone was shocked, but Long Chongjiu didn't see any unusual expression of grief and anger in his expression, and he felt relieved.
So he nodded slightly at him and signaled him to continue speaking. The man said again: "There is a killer who openly plotted against Mrs. Demi, like a few homeless men, but they all had guns in their hands. We had two brothers injured. Mrs. Demi was in danger and caught a living."
"Oh...had I asked something?" Long Chongjiu asked while thinking about the person who might attack Demi.
In England, except for Bobby from the Cory family, he had no complaints with others, so he could only be listed as the main object of suspicion.
"The homeless man didn't say anything. It seems that he is just a person who uses money to do things. The other party is quite mysterious."
"Hmph, mysterious? They are far from playing with the sarcasm of Brother Jiu. Let's go over and take a look." Long Chongjiu stood up and acted.
