Four hundred and twentieth chapters ask for benefits
After Du Yuemei heard this, she knew that the Li Group currently had no hope of obtaining the rights to the Hong Kong dollar banknotes, and could only find a way later.
However, she believes that with the development of the Lee Group and the changes in the situation in Hong Kong, the Lee Group will definitely be qualified to obtain Hong Kong dollar banknote rights.
Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency, regarding the price of the acquisition of the telecommunications group, I need to discuss it with Li Sheng again before I can give you an answer. I can't make the decision on this matter. After all, I don't know the current funds of our Li Group."
Can we still acquire 50% of the shares of the telecommunications group?"
Thatcher didn't believe Du Yuemei's reason. She knew that Li Guangyu had injected US$10 into the Bentley Group. How could he not have the financial resources to take over the shares of the Telecom Group? This was just Du Yuemei's attempt to buy time.
Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, our British government has shown its sincerity. Xiangjiang has approved your Lee Group's application for an airline. I also ask that your Lee Group can also show its sincerity."
Come out so that everyone can cooperate happily."
Du Yuemei thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, it's not that we don't show sincerity, it's actually that you have no sincerity in cooperating with our Li Group before, and you only hope to get more funds from our Li Group.
This makes us very worried about the future cooperation, and we still need to carefully evaluate this."
Thatcher would not admit that their government wanted to cheat the Lee Group. She told Du Yuemei: "This time, some senior executives of the telecommunications group were motivated by their own interests and did such a thing. We dealt with the relevant personnel. We
How could the government do such a thing?"
Although Du Yuemei knew that this was definitely not what Thatcher said, she didn't want to delve into it. She said that it was not good for the British government or the Lee Group to lose face. She just wanted to lead the group to make money.
Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency, we at Li Sheng have always attached great importance to the British local market, and our headquarters in Western Europe have always been in England, so we hope that the government can treat our Li Group more fairly in many things. For example, we
The Tianyu Bank issue has been dragging on for several months, and your government’s financial management agency still doesn’t approve the entry of our bank.”
Thatcher really didn't want to get involved with Du Yuemei like this. It seemed that they would not easily acquire the shares of the telecommunications group without giving some benefits to the Li Group. Of course, these were not benefits, but they just wanted to
The development of some local card owners Li's consortium only provides convenience for British capital.
The reason why Tianyu Bank has been delaying approval this time is not for the benefit of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. After the banks under the Li Group enter the mainland, it will reduce a lot of the business of HSBC and Standard Chartered, causing certain losses to the two major banks.
Thatcher said: "Ms. Du, this time we need your Lee Group to show sincerity. As long as your Lee Group is willing to continue investing in our UK, our government will support your companies to enter our British market."
How could Du Yuemei not understand what Thatcher meant? He wanted to acquire the telecommunications group first, and then they would let Tianyu Bank enter the British market.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the telecommunications group is going to be acquired this time. Li Sheng is very optimistic about the future development of this group, but it is a pity that the Li Group cannot fully own it. This group must also be owned by the British government.
Only shares will do, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the Li Group to be wholly owned.
Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency, I will report today's situation to Li Sheng. I believe that as long as the senior management of the telecommunications group does not maliciously want our Li Group to pay a high price, our Li Group will still be willing to take over this group.
of."
Thatcher said: "Don't worry, what happened last time won't happen again this time. We hope to maintain long-term cooperation with your Lee Group. This time the price will definitely be determined based on the market value of the group. No.
There is a price that makes you pay a high price that is inconsistent with the market value of the group."
Thatcher now only needs to ensure that state-owned assets are not sold off. As long as the telecommunications group makes a good start this time, he can use this plan to attack other companies and completely get rid of these parasitics that are attached to the government's finances.
insect.
At the same time, the funds from the sale will be invested in other aspects to promote the development of the British economy. There are only two years until her next election. She is still looking forward to being re-elected. If the economy does not reform and the living standards of citizens do not improve, how will she obtain it?
Voter support.
Du Yuemei said: "If this is the case, I think our Li Group has already reached an agreement with the Telecom Group. I will report to Li Sheng when I go back. I think I can give you an answer tomorrow. I also hope that our Li Group can reach an agreement with the telecommunications group."
The telecommunications group is a pleasure to work with.”
Thatcher knew that this matter was basically settled. Du Yuemei must have the decision-making power on this matter. As for reporting to Li Guangyu, it was more of a formal procedure. Li Guangyu must have given her authority.
Thatcher said: "Then I will wait for your good news tomorrow. Tell Mr. Li that our British government has always been very friendly to the Lee Foundation, and our government will support the development of the Lee Foundation."
Our government welcomes him to visit our country more often. Her Majesty the Queen also hopes that he and his family can come together, and the Queen will receive their family at the palace."
Du Yuemei said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, thank you for your government's support to our Li Group, and thank you Her Majesty the Queen for your concern for our Li Sheng and his family. I will transfer your and Her Majesty the Queen's invitation to Li Sheng, I think it is time
If allowed, Li Sheng and his family are willing to come and visit you and Her Majesty the Queen."
Du Yuemei knew that Ying Lun wanted to win over the Li Group to their side, so the Queen and Prime Minister invited Li Sheng's family to come here. In this sensitive period, how could Li Sheng's family come to visit her and the Queen.
Li Sheng would not do such a stupid thing, let alone his family. Before Xiangjiang was settled, Li Sheng probably would not even come.
After Du Yuemei left, Thatcher specially summoned the government's financial management department personnel to inquire about Tianyu Bank's application.
After listening to the report, Thatcher said: "Ignore the opinions of Standard Chartered and HSBC. They have been in Hong Kong for hundreds of years and are still no match for the banks established by Li Guangyu. They can only survive by relying on the protection of our government. Then
They deserved to be squeezed into bankruptcy. Those British-funded consortiums in Xiangjiang have become accustomed to our government's protection of them and no longer want to make progress. Look at what it has become now. Even a newly rising Li's consortium can't block it.
Can’t live.”
This official felt that this could not be entirely blamed on the British-funded consortium. It was really the Li family consortium that was too evil. Looking at the history of the development of these family consortia in the world, none of them was accumulated over time. And the Li family consortium has grown rapidly in just a few years.
It has taken many consortiums hundreds of years to complete.
However, he did not refute Thatcher's words and agreed to Thatcher's instructions. After the Lee Consortium acquired the telecommunications group, he approved the application of the Lee Consortium's banks.
