Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Before Yuan Tianfan could finish speaking, Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "We can't wait any longer, Mrs. Thatcher will visit China soon to discuss the ownership of Xiangjiang with the inland side.

I have already received news that the inland side will never let go. Although the British won the Falklands War, they want to coerce the inland side with a big victory.

This one will not work, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking, the inland is not Argentina, Hong Kong is not the Falklands, Mrs Thatcher's wishful thinking, the wishful thinking of the British will not work. "

"So, we can't wait any longer. Once the UK can't take advantage of it, then their big victory will collapse, and the London stock market will return to normal because of this..."

After listening to Yang Chen's analysis, Yuan Tianfan's face suddenly became serious, and finally said seriously: "Boss, I will deal with this matter immediately after I go back."

"Don't rush, take your time, try not to draw attention."

After talking with Yuan Tianfan, Yang Chen began to prepare for the private meeting with Mrs. Thatcher at night.

Mrs. Thatcher has always been called the "Iron Lady" by the world. From this title, it is not difficult for us to see how high her wrist is.

As a woman, she was able to ascend to the position of Prime Minister of the British Empire, one of the most powerful countries in the world, with the title that the sun never sets. Mrs. Thatcher can also be regarded as a precedent in British history.

As the female leader of one of the two major political parties in the UK, the first female prime minister in British history has created a female prime minister who has been elected for three consecutive terms and has served for more than ten years.

At this time, Mrs. Thatcher's status in the land of England should be regarded as a woman other than the Queen of England.

She deserves the respect and attention of anyone in the world.

Facing such a woman, Yang Chen, who relied on historical memory to achieve a little achievement, was under a lot of pressure.

Although the old man in the inland area will deflate the female prime minister next time, Yang Chen doesn't think he can be compared with that old man. There is a huge difference between the two, and there is no comparison at all.

He didn't seem to have a bargaining chip in his hand that could check and balance the opponent. You must know that since she entered politics, Mrs. Thatcher has always been known for her strong will, decisive style, and indomitable spirit.

The title of the Iron Lady was given by the Soviet Union, one of the two superpowers, its deadly rival.

This woman who is known as the most powerful woman in Europe is really cruel, not someone else who just plays tricks.

With the privatization process currently being promoted in the UK, in the face of a large number of laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises, tens of thousands of people are unemployed, and people who have lost their iron jobs, general strikes and demonstrations have sprung up everywhere.

This kind of thing that would be difficult for anyone, but Mrs. Thatcher took her time and insisted on promoting reforms with tough measures, stepping up the process of privatization in the UK and throwing the burden on the government.

To be honest, Yang Chen admires this strong lady, and really wants to meet her.

This time the opportunity was right in front of him, the other party did not meet him on a formal occasion, but chose to meet in private, which made him a little curious about what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd.

Since it's a private meeting, Yang Chen naturally won't go there alone, Alisa will come over after a while, and he plans to take the other party to meet the female prime minister.

Chapter 729 The Surprise of the Prime Minister's Office

While Yang Chen was preparing, Mrs. Thatcher on Downing Street was also discussing matters related to him with her officials.

In the 70s, after the oil crisis broke out, the "Batskel Doctrine" policy once pursued by the two parties in the UK gradually failed.

The name Batskelism is a combination of the abbreviations of Butler, former chancellor of the exchequer of the Conservative Party government, and Gatskel, former chancellor of the exchequer of the Labor Party government.

It emphasizes that both the Conservative Party and the Labor Party pursue a generally consistent welfare capitalism based on the "socialist" policy of the Attlee Labor Party government and the Keynesian demand management policy in terms of basic domestic policies.

That is to say, the policies promoted by Batskelism were a combination of the interests of the two major political parties in Britain at that time.

Since World War II, no matter which faction of the two major political parties in the United Kingdom has been in power, it will be based on Batskelism.

However, after the outbreak of the oil crisis, the British economy entered stagflation, Keynesianism became invalid, and this balance was broken.

In order to reactivate the domestic economy, the Conservative Party government headed by Mrs Thatcher began to carry out a series of reforms.

Mrs. Thatcher's reforms were mainly in two aspects: politics and economy. In terms of economy, Mrs. Thatcher emphasized the role of the market mechanism, reduced state intervention, and vigorously promoted denationalization and privatization policies.

By selling a large number of shares of state-owned enterprises to individuals and encouraging private capital to enter the state-owned sector, the economic benefits of enterprises can be improved and the competitiveness of British enterprises can be improved.

Politically, Thatcher and his ruling party opposed the "socialism" of the British Labor Party, cracked down on trade unions and the labor movement, and took tough measures against the strike movement of British trade unions, replacing the compromise policies adopted in the past such as consultation and negotiation.

The high welfare policy makes the British people lack centripetal force, and a large number of nationalized companies do not think about making progress, making British products lack effective competitiveness in the international market, further causing the British economy to stagnate for a long time, and even being labeled as the sick man of Europe by the outside world .

Today, the empire on which the sun never sets has plummeted militarily and was replaced by the United States and the Soviet Union. Economically, it has been brought closer by the revived West Germany and France and other European countries.

In terms of military affairs, the United Kingdom is no longer able to win the first place, and the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union are unlikely to give the British a chance.

Therefore, the current economic problem is the most important problem in the UK at present.

In the face of increasingly serious strikes in the country and more and more unemployed people, Mrs. Thatcher did not waver in her reforms. Any reform requires bloodshed. If the UK does not want to continue to sink, it must make changes.

The only thing she worries about now is the general election next year, whether she can successfully get re-election.

Once the re-election fails, the reform is likely to end without a problem. Now that the privatization process has only completed the first step, she needs to be re-elected to strengthen her power and allow the UK to complete this reform.

Mrs. Thatcher asked a middle-aged white official below: "Is the investigation clear? That Miss Siemens represents the Siemens family, or that Mr. Yang Chen?"

"The investigation has made it clear that the source of that Miss Siemens' funds was provided by Hong Kong Hang Seng Bank. I think Mr. Yang Chen borrowed Miss Siemens's hand to buy Li Husheng."

"Originally, Li's Husheng was only planning to sell its business in Asia, but for unknown reasons, the major shareholder of Li's Husheng sold all its shares to Miss Siemens.

The remaining shareholders of Li's Voice also sold their shares when the other party's price was [-]% higher than the market price. "

"At the same time, we also got definite news that that Miss Siemens has been buying shares in major British newspapers recently, and many of them have been controlled by her..."

Mrs. Thatcher frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said, "It seems that the young man has a lot of appetite. He entered the media industry at this time, and it is obvious that he wants to control public opinion."

A white official hesitated: "Then shall we?"

Before the official could finish speaking, Mrs. Thatcher shook her head and said, "No, I originally wanted him to stand up. Now that he is prepared, the next thing will be easy.

If we want to solve the current domestic problems, we have to take serious medicine and introduce foreign capital competition. I think he is just right. Now Xiangjiang is still under our jurisdiction, so he is half of our own.

Since there is already an extra Murdoch, and there is no shortage of Yang Chen, and they are all interested in the media industry, let them fight first..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Thatcher smiled and said: "Compared to Murdoch, I think that little guy is more exciting. Now he is the richest man in the Chinese. Coupled with his gains in the London stock market this time, his future achievements inestimable."

"We have to make great efforts to win over such people. In this regard, the royal family is better than us. It is said that Prince Charles and Princess Diana have a good personal relationship with him.

Before Hang Seng Bank entered London, it was through the relationship of Prince Charles. I heard that he also has a personal relationship with Prince Hassar of Saudi Arabia? "

The director of the intelligence agency stood up at the right time and said: "According to the news from the Middle East, that Mr. Yang Chen had met with the seven Sudri brothers in private. deposit."

"Besides, we also got a piece of news."

Mrs. Thatcher: "What news?"

"That Mr. Yang Chen has gained a lot in this World Cup competition."

"Press?" Mrs. Thatcher glanced at the intelligence chief suspiciously, not understanding what the other party was saying.

"It is rumored that Mr. Yang Chen bet against a Chinese gambling king in Las Vegas, the United States, betting that Italy will win the World Cup, with a bet of [-] million U.S. dollars.
