"Mr. Camble, I know that your Excellency has always been in favor of the independent capitalist system. Moreover, the British Conservative Party has emphasized the realization of democracy, limited government, social justice, personal freedom and civil liberties, and the construction of 'freedom, justice,
We advocate an open and democratic society' and oppose the 'third way'. Economically, we advocate the implementation of a 'competitive market economy' and support the process of economic globalization. But why is it blocking the normal acquisition of Hanhua Group this time? What if?
It threatens the information security of the UK. I think Mercury Communications is not as good as France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom!"
France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom together account for half of the UK mobile market, with more than 20 million Britons using their telecommunications services.
"Mr. Liu, as the British Secretary of Commerce, I have always welcomed Hanhua Group's investment in the UK. I am not opposed to Hanhua Telecom's acquisition of Mercury Communications. But... not all British people
Everyone thinks so, especially Mr. Liu’s background and nationality, which makes many gentlemen in the Parliament worry that if this merger is passed, it will have an adverse impact on the future of the UK!”
"Adverse effects? Mr. Camble, with all due respect, China and the UK are separated by three oceans and tens of thousands of kilometers of land. There is no conflict of interest! On the contrary, there are many opportunities for cooperation between us."
"...No country can refuse the rapidly developing Chinese market. If this normal corporate merger and acquisition of Hanhua Group is blocked by the British government under the crude excuse of 'information security', it will be extremely serious.
It will hurt the enthusiasm of Chinese companies to invest in the UK. It will also leave a very bad impact on the Chinese government and people, hindering normal exchanges and economic development between the two countries." After a pause, "Hanhua Group's investment in Mercury Telecom
Which one is more important, mergers and acquisitions, or the peaceful development of China and the UK? I think it should not be difficult to make a choice with Mr. Kamble’s political wisdom!”
Liu Dong is a typical example of "pulling a banner into a tiger's skin", relying on the strength of the Hanhua Group and his background as a direct descendant of the Liu family to endorse his threats that are both soft and hard.
Looking at the trace of thought on Vincent Cambour's face, it was obvious that Liu Dong's words were not without effect.
In fact, Vincent Cambre did accept Liu Dong's words. Liu Dong's background and the power of Hanhua Group also made him have some scruples.
The allure of the Chinese market is undoubted. With an annual growth rate of more than 10% and a huge market of 1.3 billion people, no country can ignore it.
The young guy sitting in front of him, the Hanhua Consortium established in just five years is awe-inspiring. Moreover, as a qualified politician, Kamble can not only see the present, but also the future. The future
The Hanhua Group and the young people in front of us will have a stronger global influence. And the scale of the Hanhua Group will also expand several times on the current basis.
In the future, if nothing goes wrong.
Hanhua is the Morgan and Rockefeller of China!
Of course, this is just Liu Dong's future achievements. There is a huge family behind him.
The Liu family is one of the few top families in China that can span the three realms of military, politics and economics. Their influence is deeply rooted in China.
Although Cambre does not believe that just a merger and acquisition case of Hanhua Telecom can affect the relationship between China and Britain, if the Liu family only needs to exert his influence in Chinese politics, coupled with the power of Hanhua Group, it will be enough to make anyone
British companies encountered some setbacks when entering the Chinese market.
These setbacks are likely to cause British companies to lose part of the Chinese market, and the British may be replaced by Americans, Germans, or Japanese!
They are also developed countries, and they also have domestic companies in the same industry that compete with British corporate giants. If possible, they would be happy to see a strong competitor eliminated.
But this is exactly what Vincent Cambre does not want to see.
As the British Business Secretary, he wants to make a difference in the political arena. If he wants to go further, he also needs the support of dazzling political achievements.
Therefore, Vincent Camble does not want to see anything detrimental to the development of the British economy happen.
"Mr. Liu, as you said, there is a very large space for economic cooperation between China and the UK! I am personally willing to promote economic cooperation between the two sides. I still welcome Hanhua Group's investment in the UK. However,
The UK is a democratic country. Although my views can influence some people, they cannot influence all. Therefore, even if I agree to Mr. Liu here today, you still need to convince more people to agree to Hanhua Telecom's merger!"
Seeing that Kanbul's attitude had relaxed, Liu Dong felt happy and relaxed at the same time.
"As the chairman of Hanhua Group, I am willing to run for the normal business activities of my own companies. However, we have only entered the UK for a short time and do not know much about the British political scene. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Kamble can do more
guide!"
"Of course, that's no problem!"
"Thank you! I don't know, should we go to visit Prime Minister Blair next?"
"Visiting the Prime Minister is of course a very good choice. But if Mr. Liu wants to save time and complete this acquisition as soon as possible, I think you have to go to another place after visiting the Prime Minister!"
"Where?" Liu Dong asked urgently.
"Buckingham Palace!"
"Your Majesty the Queen!" Liu Dong suddenly said.
"That's right! Mr. Liu should know very well why the development of Hanhua Group in the UK will be hindered. If you want to fundamentally solve this problem, it is best to win the consent of Her Majesty the Queen. Of course, how to convince Her Majesty depends on Liu
Such wisdom sir!”
After listening, Liu Dong was silent for a while and then agreed with what the other party said.
In the UK, although there are powerful families comparable to the Rothschilds, there is only one that can completely surpass them in influence, and that is the royal family that has ruled the UK for hundreds of years and has high prestige!
"On Sunday this week, the Queen will hold a dinner at Buckingham Palace. If Mr. Liu has time, you might as well go there and attend! I think it will be better if you can briefly communicate with the Queen first, and then pay a formal visit! ... As for
The invitation to the dinner, I don’t think the Queen will miss such a young and richest man in the world!”
"Thank you, Mr. Kamble, for your suggestion!" Liu Dong said after thinking for a moment.
"Haha, you're welcome, Mr. Liu. I hope there will be more economic cooperation between China and Britain, and I also hope that Hanhua Group can invest and develop in the UK!"
