Buckingham Palace, last time Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian came together, it was still the same as last time, there were not many changes, but this time there was an extra Li Zhipeng who was not yet one year old.
Compared with the serious Thatcher, the Queen is undoubtedly much more easy-going, because the Constitution stipulates that the Queen no longer has the right to participate in national politics, but she still has a strong influence in Britain and even the Commonwealth.
This afternoon was just like Li Jianhui's first meeting with her. The Queen did not talk about national politics or the world situation, but only talked about Chen Yulian and Donghua Island.
“Although the Indian Ocean Territory is one of our British Overseas Territories, due to the special local environment, apart from a NATO military base, there are no ordinary residents.
This time Thatcher suggested that I separate Donghua Island and the six surrounding small islands to form a separate Donghua Territory, with Mrs. Li Chen Yulian as the territorial governor and responsible for the development of Donghua Territory.
I agree with this, and I also hope that Donghua Territory can prosper and develop under your governance, making it the second autonomous territory after Bermuda. Donghua Territory and the United Kingdom have joint sovereignty over Donghua Territory. Territory Government Affairs
Personnel are determined at the discretion of the territory.
In terms of security, first, we will provide protection to the Donghua Territory. Using force against the Donghua Territory means going to war against our United Kingdom.
At the same time, the territory itself must form an armed force to ensure its own security. In principle, the United Kingdom will not restrict it except for weapons restricted by the United Nations.
The only rule is that once the United Kingdom is invaded, the Donghua Territory’s army must obey the command of the United Kingdom. As for some external military operations, if requested, the Donghua Territory has the right to refuse.”
Thatcher only mentioned it briefly in the morning, but now the Queen has clearly stated the rights and obligations of the Donghua Territory. As long as Li Jianhui is willing to take over, he will immediately be able to have a relatively independent territory.
Even though this site is very small, Donghua Island plus the six small islands, the total area of the island is only 5.3 square kilometers, but as long as Li Jianhui is willing and has the approval of the British side, he can completely create land through reclamation
A land area no smaller than Lisboa came out.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who hope to split the soil and become a prince, but this time such a pie hit the Li family's head. Although Li Jianhui knew that the pie was not easy to digest and might choke him, he
Still unwilling to give up.
As the Xin Jian family's industry grew larger and larger, Li Jianhui's ambition gradually grew. At the beginning, he only hoped to surpass Shuang Li and become the most wealthy family in Hong Kong.
Later, it was discovered that the wealthy families in Xiangjiang were mediocre, and they set their sights on the Morgan, Rockefeller, Mitsui, Iwasaki and other families, hoping to establish a world-class consortium. This is also the reason why Donghua Club emerged.
It's just that the consortium is not that easy to establish. At the beginning, he only wanted to use the Greater China region as his foundation. What happened later proved that his thinking was too naive. He had no choice but to think about establishing a solid market in the Southeast Asian market.
But these places only have markets, and they lack another thing to protect their own power, which is force, and now it is coming to her door.
Although Li Jianhui knew that the other party did not have good intentions, he still accepted it. He knew very well that if he wanted to establish a consortium, he would inevitably run counter to that party. He must think more about the future of his family.
That said, Li Jianhui is very selfish. Although he knows that the interests of a small number of people are being sacrificed to benefit the majority of people, he does not want to be the sacrificed part.
Standing determines attitude. From the standpoint of Li Jianhui and others, if it is not for profit, why should they run their own business carefully and painstakingly every day? Wouldn't it be better to have that time to travel with their families.
Some of the news he saw before traveling through his past life also made him afraid to have too much trust there. Although the rumored pig killing list was a bit exaggerated, it was not groundless.
It is too easy to get someone like Li Jianhui to accuse him. To a certain extent, the major companies under the Xinjian Group are taking advantage of legal loopholes in various countries to reasonably avoid taxes. This is no problem in many countries. They only blame their own country's poor tax laws.
Perfect, but some people don't think so.
Moreover, Li Jianhui's past life memories made him very clear that few of those business tycoons were able to retire safely in the end, and many of them were in danger of losing their jobs and became the capitalist vampires that everyone reviled.
Since it was destined not to be the same path, Li Jianhui's scruples naturally became smaller and smaller. He knew how big the impact of this matter would be, but he still took it.
"I believe this is a name decision for Mr. Li and his family. Although the land area of Donghua Island and the surrounding six islands is very small, the distance between the several small islands from the sea level to the bottom of Donghua Island is not
It is not deep, and is relatively suitable for land reclamation to connect Donghua Island and several small islands into a whole. I believe that the Xinjian Department has this technology and also has the strength."
Li Jianhui didn't want to say more about this. Originally, more than 30 surrounding islands including Donghua Island formed an island group, but the British were obviously unwilling to give him too much territory, and only gave Donghua Island and six surrounding small islands.
island.
Fortunately, there are some coral reefs between the islands, and the topography of the islands, especially the topography below sea level, plus these coral reefs, make it possible to build land from the sea, and the difficulty is relatively low.
Despite this, Li Jianhui has no intention of large-scale development of the Donghua territory. In addition to jumping into the sea and building land for the construction of Donghua Island Airport, Li Jianhui has no intention of reclamation.
In addition to being a business registration center, not many people live here, and it will not be open to people other than the Tung Wah Association for the time being.
At that time, it will serve as a training and teaching base for security companies, political and economic research laboratories, and confidentiality offices.
As for the equipment, Li Jianhui believed that he had the right not to expire, and planned to buy some heavy equipment, which could at least deal with ordinary pirates. In his past life, Somali pirates were quite rampant, and the Xin Jian Department also owned the Huangpu Shipping Group, so at least some
To ensure the safety of the crew.
As for large-scale development, Li Jianhui has not thought about it for the time being. He wants to establish a conglomerate family rather than a country.
As long as you have relative force to ensure your own safety and can deter some opponents from using extreme measures against you, there is no need to spend huge amounts of money on this.
The happiest person today is Chen Yulian. After today, her inheritance of Lanfeng Holdings Group will no longer be shaken.
And as time progresses, she believes that Li Jianhui will increase investment in the Donghua territory, which will also enhance the strength of her house in disguise.
The most important thing is that her family will control the family's most powerful force in the future, which is an advantage that Chen Xinyi does not have.
