We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

While the Far East Group was absorbing and welcoming new forces in universities around the world, the number one and number two figures in the entire group were already above 10,000 meters in the air.

"This is my first time flying on your private jet. It's really a luxury."

Luo Nianzhong raised his shoulders and said, "You know I don't care much about these, as long as they look comfortable and I like them, these decorations were chosen by Chris and the others."

Welch believed what Luo Nianzhong said. For a wealthy person of Luo Nianzhong's level, private jets and superyachts, let alone cars and watches, could no longer highlight his status.

What do the bosses at this level play? It's industry.

Picking up a bottle of Latour red wine from the wine cabinet, Welch smiled happily when he saw the year.

"It's better to go out with the boss for the benefits. This is a rare top-quality red wine that you can't buy on the market."

Luo Nianzhong really didn't know. His appraisal of red wine could only be said to be average, and he wouldn't pay attention to it usually.

"This is from Arnault. Didn't YDD Group acquire Chateau Patous and Latour? I asked him to send a batch of better red wine.

I still have some at home, if you like to wait until you return to Hong Kong Island, I will send you two boxes."

"Then I'm not polite. This level of red wine is highly collectible, and most people won't drink it like you do."

After hearing Welch's statement, Luo Nianzhong became curious.

He doesn't know much about red wine, but he does know a few good vintages, but it will be next year at the earliest, which is 1982, and he doesn't know anything about red wine before 82.

"Is there anything special about the bottle of red wine in your hand?"

Welch caressed the bottle of red wine in his hand like a treasure, and Luo Nianzhong suspected that he would not be so gentle to his wife now.

“This is the 1961 Latour, the only perfect-scoring wine from Latour, the king of wines.

But I haven’t tasted it, so I don’t know the specific taste.”

"Then why not give it a try?" Luo Nianzhong said with a smile.

"good idea".

Welch summoned the flight attendant, handed her the wine and ordered some Ibérico ham.

He didn't even ask if there was one. He knew that there would definitely be one on Luo Nianzhong's plane.

This is one of the best ingredients to pair with red wine, and flight attendants would be remiss if they didn’t think of stocking up on it.

Moreover, for the crews of private jets with purchasing authority, if the owner does not have special requirements or instructions, they will only choose top-quality ingredients.

They don't have to spend money anyway, and most of the leftover food goes into their stomachs, which can be considered a kind of welfare.

When the stewardess brought the sobered red wine, Ibérico ham and some side dishes to go with the wine, Welch couldn't wait to taste them.

"Full, rich, full of roasted aroma, impeccable both in color and fruity aroma, no wonder it is the king of wines."

Luo Nianzhong could not reach his level, but he also tasted it and found that the others were fine, and the aroma of the wine was indeed longer.

After tasting the wine queen with satisfaction, Welch did not forget about business.

“Obviously, the current reform in England is just testing the waters, or it is more appropriate to say it is the first stage.

Moreover, the pressure on our female Prime Minister is not small. It is still unknown whether she can be re-elected in the general election that will start in two years. Are you really sure that you want to join the British privatization reform? I'm afraid of the successor..."

Welch didn't finish his words, but Luo Nianzhong knew he was worried.

Britain is currently undergoing an unprecedented major change, and is privatizing a large number of state-owned enterprises. This has touched the interests of too many people and destroyed the jobs of hundreds of thousands of workers.

To put it bluntly, Keynesianism, which European and American countries have always regarded as the political consensus, has failed. The country cannot afford the high welfare of workers and needs a thorough reform to save the economy.

In 1974, the losses of British state-owned enterprises reached 12 billion pounds. Many large enterprises suffered staggering losses when they were privatized.

如拥有全国钢产量占绝大部分的英伦钢铁公司，1978 -1979年财政年度亏损总额达3亿英镑，1979 - 1980年财政年度的前半年亏损就高达达1.45亿英镑。

This year is even worse. In the first half of the year alone, Leyland Motors, a state-owned automobile company, lost nearly 200 million pounds.

The government was above the enterprises and directly intervened in the management of the enterprises. The state had no money and tried to reduce workers' benefits. Workers organized a general strike under the organization of the trade union.

In order to quell the strike, workers' wages and benefits were not reduced, but were appropriately increased. This formed an endless cycle, which may sound familiar to you.

In order to untie this deadlock, a series of reforms were implemented after the Iron Lady came to power.

Having offended so many workers and interest groups, it is okay for Welch not to be optimistic about Iron Lady's re-election. Not only he, but many people in the international community are not optimistic as well.

If she is not re-elected, it is hard to say whether the Far East Group will be targeted by the next government once it invests heavily in England.

Also because the investment environment is unclear, Britain is far from ideal in attracting foreign investment.

Otherwise, Downing Street and the Iron Lady would not have invited Luo Nianzhong, the world's richest man, many times either personally or indirectly through MacLehose.

However, Luo Nianzhong was different from other bystanders. He knew that the Iron Lady was not only re-elected successfully, but was also re-elected twice until she was defeated by her rival in 1990.

This is the best time to eat meat. Once Britain wins the war next year, the polls soar, and the situation stabilizes, other international capital will definitely pour in.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether the Iron Lady has Qiu Luo Nianzhong, but whether Luo Nianzhong can still drink the soup.

Luo Nianzhong would not say these words to Welch, so he could only sing Bai Lian well with such suspicion. Otherwise, why would Luo Nianzhong let him accompany him on this trip to England.

……

Luo Nianzhong and the two were discussing Britain, and Downing Street was also discussing them.

After the first oil crisis broke out, the entire Western countries entered a period of stagflation.

In order to reactivate the domestic economy, the Conservative government had to carry out a series of reforms, otherwise the country would be dragged into bankruptcy.

The specific embodiment of the Iron Lady reform in the economy is to emphasize the role of market mechanisms, reduce state intervention, and vigorously promote 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, we can improve the economic benefits of enterprises and enhance the competitiveness of British enterprises.

Like President Ronald Reagan, who just took office, he believes in the liberal economic model. This is also one of the important landmark events in the global economy.

Only with a free economy and the introduction of outsiders can the era in which a large number of state-owned enterprises just sit back and make money be broken, better achieve technological development, and go global faster.

This is the method and plan developed by the Iron Lady and her Conservative government.

"Is it the intention of Welch or the richest man to be unfavorable about our investment environment?"

A middle-aged white official at the bottom said, "It's not clear what Mr. Luo means, but Welch and MacLehose have made it clear that now is not a good time to invest in Britain. But our intelligence department does have news. You can take advantage of it.”

"Oh? What news?".

"Mr. Law has mentioned in public more than once that MacLehose is the best governor of Hong Kong so far, and he also expressed his regret that MacLehose is about to step down."

The words of the white official made the Iron Lady think deeply. MacLehose's abilities and achievements were obvious to all. It was also planned that MacLehose would be promoted to the House of Lords and awarded a life baron at the end of his term next year.

At this time, it would be too hurtful to ask MacLehose to stay in office for one term. It can be said that it will block the opponent's promotion path. MacLehose will almost reach retirement age in five years.

However, if MacLehose remains in office, it will indeed give Luo Nianzhong a lot of face, which will add a lot of friendship points.

You see, you want MacLehose to stay in office and we have done it for you. We also have a small request, can you help us solve it?

You said you suffered a loss? It doesn't matter, isn't love something you owe me and I owe you better and better.

The Iron Lady brought out her decisive character at the critical moment.

"You are responsible for communicating with MacLehose first. I will propose to Her Majesty the Queen that replacing the originally agreed lifelong baronet with a lifelong viscount will be considered as compensation for MacLehose."

If Luo Nianzhong knew that the Iron Lady chose to let MacLehose stay in office for one term in order to win over him, this would help him invisibly.

With the current size of the Far East Group, he doesn't care who becomes the Governor of Hong Kong, but MacLehose will at least be in office and in many aspects it will be smoother for Luo Nianzhong to implement more plans.
