Li Guangyu followed Spencer to the reception room of the castle, chatting and laughing. Li Guangyu knew very well that Spencer would not invite him for no reason, let alone just let him visit his manor and castle.
Now that he has brought himself here, the main topic is probably about to begin. Li Guangyu also wants to know what Earl Spencer, who has no interaction with him, is looking for him.
At the same time, Li Guangyu also wanted to know what kind of attitude the British nobles had towards him through Spencer, so that he could better plan for the future.
As soon as Li Guangyu and Spencer sat down, a servant brought a pot of tea.
After asking the servant to leave, Spencer personally poured tea for Li Guangyu and said to him: "Mr. Li, I know that you Orientals prefer tea to coffee. This is what I entrusted to you in the Orient."
When you buy Longjing tea, taste it to see if it is authentic Longjing tea.”
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Thank you Earl for considering me. It's just that my level is limited and I really can't distinguish the various types of tea. I'm really ashamed. If I have time in the future, I will definitely study our country's tea culture seriously."
, so that I won’t be so rude.”
Li Guangyu only used tea to quench his thirst and didn't care about tasting it at all. Although Gan Qin prepared very expensive tea for him every day, he didn't care about it at all.
The Li Group has too many industries, and the subsequent development of many groups requires Li Guangyu to formulate and arrange. He has no leisure time to enjoy tea.
Li Guangyu is quite good. He only needs to lay out the strategy and the people below can execute it very well. He doesn't need to be a trapeze artist and travel all over the world.
In previous lives, many group CEOs were even busier. They were often in this city today and in that city tomorrow, with endless meetings and endless tasks to be done every day.
Li Guangyu knew that Li Ka-shing and Li Shauji in Hong Kong were much busier than him now. These two went to the group early every day and came home late at night. They also often went to Japan to handle the group's affairs in Japan.
Spencer smiled and said: "Mr. Li is really honest. If other staff don't understand, they will pretend to understand. After tasting the tea, they will affirm it. Even if they don't know whether it is authentic Longjing, they will say it is."
, because they think I won’t lie to them.”
Li Guangyu didn't have such thoughts. He didn't know that it wouldn't be embarrassing to tell the truth about this tea. It would be embarrassing if he pretended to understand and exposed the flaw.
Li Guangyu has always regarded himself as a businessman. He is not a so-called aristocrat. He cares more about profits than these frivolous things.
Li Guangyu said: "That can only mean that these people hope to make friends with Mr. Earl, and they hope to get your recognition of them, and they have great trust in you. They believe that you will not lie to them."
Spencer understood what Li Guangyu meant. Compared with those people who wanted to please him, Li Guangyu had no such intention. He, Spencer, was not someone Li Guangyu could trust, and he did not need his approval of Li Guangyu.
It doesn't matter to Li Guangyu whether what he says is true or false, because he doesn't care at all whether it is true or false. Without knowing it, Li Guangyu will not give an answer until he has investigated clearly.
, will give a response.
Spencer felt very troubled by this, and felt that his brain cells would age faster when communicating with such people.
At the same time, he also hated his son. Li Guangyu was responsible for developing the family business into such a huge family business when he was just over 16 years old.
That boy of mine is now 21. Not to mention compared with Li Guangyu, he doesn’t even have one-tenth of Li Guangyu’s abilities. He can’t do anything serious except living and drinking.
Spencer temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction with his heir and said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, the Duke of Marlborough, the Duke of Aberconn, the Duke of Westralster and I are very willing to become mutually trustworthy friends with you.
, it’s just that Mr. Li has come and gone several times, resulting in a lack of communication between us, which has always made us regretful."
Li Guangyu knew that Spencer had a wide network of connections, but he didn't expect that there were many forces behind him, especially the Duke of Westchester. This was a very powerful family in England. Many streets in London were named after their family name. It was absolutely
British real estate tycoon.
The Marlborough family is very influential in British politics. The Churchill family is not in vain, and its family wealth cannot be underestimated.
Li Guangyu said: "It is an honor for me to be friends with you. England has always been a region that I am very fond of. I am also very willing to cooperate with you to promote the common development of both of us."
Li Guangyu wanted to see what so many nobles were trying to do by contacting him through Spencer. If they cooperated, Li Guangyu would naturally welcome it. If they wanted to force him out of the British market, then don't blame yourself for being rude.
In the American market, he dares to let some industries not care about profits. In the UK, he dares to see who can outlast whom.
These nobles are more noble when they want them, but they are of little use when they don't want them. The nobles in England are not just one family or two families.
Take the Duke of Devonshire for example. If the Duchess hadn't been able to run it now, he might not have been able to save the castle. Currently, the main source of income is from open castle tourism.
Now Britain is no longer dominated by nobles like them. Capital is king. Even if these nobles have seats in the House of Lords, it will not affect the development of Britain. Now the House of Commons holds the real power in Britain, and the cabinet is also in the House of Commons.
produce.
Spencer smiled and said: "Mr. Li, this time you came all the way from Hong Kong, I'm afraid you won't just look at your own industry. I heard that you are interested in some companies that the government is planning to take action on, especially some
A company that touches people’s lives.”
Li Guangyu knew that Spencer invited him for something. It turned out to be here. It seemed that his coming here this time really made some people's nerves tense. Otherwise, he would not have invited him the day after he arrived in London.
However, this is such a good opportunity, and he has more than 20 billion US dollars in hand. If he is forced to give in like this, Li Guangyu is obviously not willing to give in.
This time Britain is carrying out large-scale privatization, but there is no such store in this village. If you want to take over these companies in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to get another chance. Even if you have the chance, the price you will pay will be the same.
Countless times than it is now.
Li Guangyu said: "Although my industry is mainly in Xiangjiang, London is the second cluster of my industry. I am able to achieve my current achievements because I have made a very big contribution here. In order to better serve the British people,
I, Li Guangyu, am willing to contribute to citizens' lives, especially for industries that involve citizens' daily needs. My subsidiary is willing to take over the business and provide high-quality services to thank the citizens for their support of our industries."
Only now did Spencer realize that this young man's honesty was all a lie. He clearly wanted to get involved in the British electricity, water, and natural gas industries, but he spoke so grandly. It seemed that he was not doing it to make money, but to repay a favor, and he said
These words were so upright that he didn't even blush at all.
