At 8:30 a.m. on May 20, Li Guangyu, accompanied by Li Weiming and others, went to Buckingham Palace.
After Li Guangyu entered Buckingham Palace, he was led by the royal family's butler to the reception room.
Li Guangyu was very fortunate that he had an etiquette trainer sent by the He family to train him, so now he would not be embarrassed on such occasions.
Li Guangyu said hello according to some British etiquette.
He said, "Mr. Li, welcome to our Buckingham Palace as a guest."
Li Guangyu said, "I feel very honored to receive your invitation to be your guest here."
He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I am very happy to see a young hero like you as a guest."
As the nominal head of state of England, although he does not do anything, he has a high reputation among the British people and is very popular among the citizens.
In the subsequent conversation, I did not talk about political issues or the Hong Kong issue with Li Guangyu, but more about Li Guangyu's business.
He said, "Mr. Li, although I am far away in England, I still know some news about Xiangjiang. Especially in the past two years, I have often heard about you from these news. So this time before you come to England
On this occasion, I specially invite you to come to our palace as a guest, and also want to see with your own eyes what the young man who created the legend in Xiangjiang is like."
Li Guangyu said modestly, "Thank you for your attention. This is just an exaggeration by the media. I am just lucky. I have certain results now. This is also the result of the efforts of my senior management. My own level is limited."
Naturally, I have some information about Li Guangyu, and I know some of the character of this young man very well. In the past few years, this young man has always been very humble, polite and courteous to everyone, and gives the impression that he is harmless to humans and animals.
Look. If it weren't for these information, no one would have known that he was the head of a family business that has reached nearly 10 billion US dollars.
It was such a harmless young man who directly launched a fierce attack on the Keswick family's Jardine Group last month, causing Jardine Group to lose control of two groups in succession.
He said, "Mr. Li, you are too humble. The Keswick family is very afraid of you now. It is said that they have prepared to send family members to Xiangjiang to take charge personally to prevent Jardine Group from being attacked by you again. With this action of yours, our British
There aren’t many families here who can do it.”
Li Guangyu didn't know what the purpose of saying this was. Was he warning himself not to take action against the British consortium?
Li Guangyu said, "Your Majesty, this is also a problem of the Jardine Group itself. They have been expanding endlessly in recent years and do not have strong control over major groups. Moreover, due to excessive expansion, many industrial management services that serve the citizens of Xiangjiang have been destroyed."
We have not kept up, and citizens have complained a lot about this. We also launched the acquisition of some groups under the Jardine Matheson Group for the sake of the citizens of Xiangjiang."
He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I have no opinion on your acquisition of the group under the Jardine Group. This is all a commercial operation. Jardine himself cannot blame others for failing to take care of his own group. I just
I'm just praising your ability. If only a few of us in England could have the ability like you, our current economy wouldn't be in this state."
Although she didn't care about anything, she still knew the domestic situation very well. Mrs. Thatcher would often come to the palace to talk about some domestic affairs.
The current domestic economic development is not satisfactory, the inflation rate continues to rise, and the living standards of citizens have also declined to a certain extent. The government is also having a headache. If more people like Li Guangyu can come to invest in the UK, the domestic economy will definitely improve.
.
Li Guangyu said, "You don't have to worry too much. It is said that the government is implementing a series of economic reforms. I believe that under the leadership of Mrs. Thatcher, the British economy will soon be reversed."
He said, "Mr. Li, I really hope that as you said, our citizens can live a better life."
Then he didn't mention business matters anymore, but instead asked some questions about Li Guangyu's family.
He said, "Mr. Li, I hope you can bring your wife with you next time you come to England. I also want to see which lady can be with a talented boy like you."
Li Guangyu said, "Thank you for your concern. I feel very lucky to have a wife like Youqing. I will definitely bring Youqing with me the next time I come here."
At noon, Li Guangyu was invited to have lunch with him.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Li Guangyu said goodbye and left.
After returning to the hotel, Zhang Ziyu asked Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, how is Buckingham Palace? Is the Queen as amiable and amiable as the people heard?"
Li Guangyu said, "Isn't it just a little older there? It's more serious, there are more rules, and there's no such freedom as in the outside world. The Queen is a very nice person, and she didn't ask me some difficult questions."
After hearing this, Zhang Ziyu didn't ask any more questions, but said to Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, I have contacted you about the flight at 8:30 tomorrow morning. We can return to Xiangjiang tomorrow."
When Li Guangyu returned to the hotel, Mrs. Thatcher came here.
Mrs. Thatcher asked, "Your Majesty, how do you feel about Li Guangyu when you meet him today?"
He said, "Thatcher, I can't see through this young man. He behaves very respectfully and is very humble. As the head of a family with tens of billions of assets, how could he be so harmless to humans and animals? You must be careful."
.”
As for why she advised Thatcher to be cautious, it was because Thatcher told her some of her own economic reforms, including the privatization of Chinese enterprises, and Thatcher wanted Li Guangyu to participate in it. Today's Jaguar Motor Company is just a experimental field.
If Jaguar is developing smoothly, Thatcher will invite Li Guangyu to continue to increase investment in Britain, especially during the privatization reform of some state-owned enterprises.
Mrs. Thatcher said, "Your Majesty, you also know our current economic situation. If we do not implement reforms, the economy will become increasingly difficult."
