Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Jokes are jokes.

Su Xingjian in this position is still very necessary for Xia Yu.

In the past few years, Xiangjiang can develop according to his intentions without the full cooperation of the Hong Kong Governor Su Xingjian.

Since Su Xingjian came to show his loyalty again, Xia Yu would not remain indifferent.

It happened that he was also preparing to contact Margaret today to clarify his attitude.

Calculating the time difference, it is now half past the morning in London, England.

Simply hit him directly in front of Su Xingjian.

Do it when you think of it.

Xia Yu took the phone on the desk and dialed Margaret's private phone directly.

Xia Yu has been to Margaret's office, where she has several telephones, although they are all encrypted, one of them is private.

"Beep...beep..."

After ringing for a while, suddenly the phone was connected.

"Hey, hello, who is that?"

There were some familiar female voices on the phone, and Xia Yu immediately recognized that it was Margaret.

He smiled and greeted: "Ms. Margaret, good morning, I'm Xia Yu."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then Margaret's slightly enthusiastic voice came again: "It turned out to be Mr. Xia, long time no see. I'm glad to receive your call."

"I'm also very happy that you happened to be in the office to receive this call." Xia Yu responded with a light smile.

After a simple greeting, Xia Yu didn't delay, didn't want to give Margaret too much time to think, and went straight to the point.

"Ms. Margaret, next time I go to the UK, I will invite you to enjoy afternoon tea with you. As for now, you are busy with official business, so I will not be too long-winded. In the British Parliament the day before yesterday, the "Conservative Party members" proposed by you. Proposal", causing social unrest in Hong Kong, I want to know, what is your attitude towards it?"

Sure enough, when such a sharp question was thrown directly, Margaret was silent for a long time, apparently considering how to answer it appropriately.

And the answer after she thought about it was not what Xia Yu expected.

It's trying to push the blame and procrastinate.

"Mr. Xia, I'm also surprised by this "proposal", because it's not my idea. In the past two days, the whole political arena has been quite chaotic around this matter, and there may be no results in a short period of time. It's beyond my control."

Xia Yu sneered: "Haha~"

"Ms Margaret, you are known as the Iron Lady, and the Conservatives also control the majority of the House of Commons. There is nothing in the UK that is beyond your control. The key is whether you want to do it or not."

"So in this case, I hope you can press down as early as possible before things ferment further."

"Xiangjiang is my hometown. You should know very well how much effort and effort I have put in to build Xiangjiang. It is impossible for me to watch my efforts be destroyed. This is my bottom line."

The tone of Xia Yu's words was a bit heavy, and most people would feel uncomfortable hearing it, let alone a person in a high position like Margaret?

Su Xingjian, who was sitting beside him, also looked very serious at some point, sitting upright with his ears pricked up.

Soon, Margaret's cold voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Xia, I understand your mood, but you must know that this involves the interests of the United Kingdom. Although we are friends, I should represent the people of the country. interests, and listen to the voice of the people.”

Xia Yu scoffed, and Margaret cautiously did not dare to say, he wanted to put pressure on her.

"Ms. Margaret, I, a businessman, should not interfere with the issue of Xiangjiang, but I already paid a lot of other benefits back then."

"Xiangjiang has developed today, and it has nothing to do with the UK. We developed it ourselves. Without the more than 5 billion pounds of funds I got to invest in the UK, the current situation of Xiangjiang will only be better."

"Without the key information I provided back then, the UK would not have won the Falklands naval battle. If the war failed, would the UK still have its current prestige?"

"I've done what I have to do, what I can do."

"For the UK, I and my allies have also been very supportive."

"But now, we are very disappointed that if the UK turns its back on it, we can only defend our interests in our own way."

"Xiangjiang is our foundation, and we can abandon investment outside Hong Kong, especially investment in the UK."

"I just don't know if the UK economy can handle it?"

"Even if those things are announced, how much credibility will the British government have on capital?"

A series of words, like sharp arrows, pierced Margaret's heart.

Even though it spanned nearly one-third of the world, Xia Yu could still hear Margaret's heavy breathing from the receiver. Obviously, Margaret was in a bad mood at this time.

It's just that she couldn't vent her anger on Xia Yu, after all, it was their fault.

And Xia Yu is a top-level capitalist, and her influence on the UK should not be underestimated. She can play rascals to others, but she can't be like this to Xia Yu.

After a long time.

Margaret finally gave Xia Yu an answer, but Xia Yu was still not satisfied.

"Mr. Xia, I will always pay attention to this matter and take care of the emotions of the citizens of Xiangjiang. Please don't worry. I will call you back in a few days."

"..."

"Clap!"

The position of the statement was also expressed. After saying a few words that were not nutritious, the two sides ended the call, and Xia Yu put the phone down.

He looked at Su Xingjian, who knew the inside story for the first time, the latter's shocked appearance made Xia Yu smile.

"Governor Su, you heard it just now. I've already taken the pressure. Please do your best to stabilize the situation."

"Okay, please don't worry!" Su Xingjian came back to his senses and said hurriedly, with a more respectful attitude than before.

His previous understanding of Xia Yu was too one-sided...

After that, Su Xingjian stayed for a while, and then took the initiative to leave with an excuse.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu picked up the encrypted phone and called George Berkeley of the Bright Fund.

The result of this call.

Just wait until three o'clock in the afternoon, London time, when George Berkeley's car pulls brightly into Downing Street.

...

Margaret, who stopped her official business, looked at George Berkeley who came with a smile, but her heart was bitter, but she had to show enough enthusiasm.

"Berkeley President, welcome to Downing Street."

"Ms. Margaret, excuse me!"

"Don't bother, please take a seat!"

"thanks."

"..."

In the office, after the secretary gave them coffee, the others were sent away by Margaret, leaving only Margaret and George Berkeley.

"President Berkeley, do you have anything to do with me?"

Margaret leaned back on the sofa in a relatively comfortable position, smiling at George Berkeley.

George Berkeley said solemnly: "Ms. Margaret, today, the Hong Kong stock market has plummeted. Our investment in Hong Kong has lost a lot, and it is expected that the loss will be even greater in the future."

"It's just a loss in the financial sector."

"In addition to financial investment, we also have other large-scale investments in Hong Kong, the most typical of which is Rolls-Royce Motor Group. Hong Kong is the most important production and assembly base of Rolls-Royce Motor Group in Asia, and now there is social unrest in Hong Kong. , has affected the normal production and operation of the company."

"I hope the government can give us a stable business and investment environment, and don't let some sinister people benefit."

Margaret secretly said, and sure enough, the smile on her face quickly faded.

She sighed and said sincerely: "President Berkeley, I understand your feelings, but I am not leading this matter, and it is difficult for me to help you solve it."

"However, I suggest that the Bright Fund can stop losses in time and withdraw funds. There are still many investment opportunities in the UK, and the government will also provide preferential investment policies."

George Berkeley shook his head decisively: "Ms. Margaret, going out of the UK and developing a globalization strategy is the fundamental strategy of our company, and this will not change."

"This strategy is also deeply tied to the UK's economic development. If our company hadn't made enough profits abroad over the years and brought them back home, we wouldn't have been able to make so much investment at home."

"If we give up our investment in Hong Kong and Asia now, we will need to pay several times the price to re-enter the market in the future."

"Moreover, some of the assets handed over to us by the royal family have also been placed in Xiangjiang, and now they are on the verge of losing money. In any case, we will not let these assets lose money!"

"So there is only one result we can accept, that is, Xiangjiang regains stability and quickly restores stability, giving everyone a good investment environment."

Margaret looked confused and embarrassed.

"President Berkeley, after all, Xiangjiang is still under our jurisdiction. I also sincerely hope that Xiangjiang can be stabilized, but the situation surrounding this matter is still very complicated, and I can't give you an answer for the time being."

George Berkeley stared at her with burning eyes, and said in a straight voice, "Ms. Margaret, you should also know the circumstances behind this incident."

"This matter, from the beginning to the end, is a struggle of capital, but some people want to use the British government as a gun."

"Who are those people?"

"And who are we to you?"

"I hope you can always have a clear understanding and not be influenced by other people."

George Berkeley was a little thirsty, stopped to take a sip of coffee, and saw Margaret's face change, he continued.

"I don't want to say too much, I just want to show our attitude."

"Heung Kong's investment is a part of our ultra-high growth, and we will never give up."

"The enemy wants me to cut flesh, that's absolutely impossible!"

"If the situation is urgent, we will throw away those low-yielding assets in the UK and mobilize funds to protect our interests in Hong Kong. Only after victory can the funds return."

"If you can't get 3 billion pounds, you will be 5 billion pounds, if you can't, then you will be 10 billion pounds. You won't be capped until you win!"

"As for other investments in China, we are very reassured, and we have a long-term holding mentality and will not care about market fluctuations."

Margaret couldn't sit still at all.

I don't care about market fluctuations. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether the financial order and economy of the UK will be stable or not.

If the Bright Fund really wants to withdraw tens of billions of pounds out of the UK, the UK stock market will definitely fall sharply, and this is not the most terrifying.

The most terrifying thing is the foreign exchange market!

The UK's foreign exchange reserves will be hollowed out, exposing the fatal point. At that time, the exchange rate of the British pound, which has risen because of the "Plaza Agreement", is very likely to be attacked.

If Xia Yu also withdraws a large amount of funds, then the economic order in the UK has not been on the rise for a long time...

Thinking of this, Margaret shuddered.

Seeing George Berkeley's serious expression, Margaret was in a terrible mood, even more annoyed than being threatened by Xia Yu in the morning.

And she also knew that when George Berkeley came to her, there must be Xia Yu's shadow behind him.

Just have to say.

Xia Yu was indeed making moves towards her vital point.

Whether Hong Kong is stable or not, Margaret can not care.

But she absolutely cannot accept that Britain's economic order has been disrupted.

This time, Margaret finally compromised.

She squeezed out a reluctant smile: "President Berkeley, Xiangjiang is the Pearl of the East in the hands of the UK. As long as it is in the hands of the UK for one day, we have the responsibility and obligation to ensure its prosperity and stability."

George Berkeley also smiled: "I believe in Ms. Margaret's ability, I will wait and see!"

"I still have something to do, so I won't bother. I'll visit again next time I have the opportunity."

"Okay, I'll take it to you!"

After sending George Berkeley out of the house herself, Margaret turned and walked briskly to the office, stinking her face along the way.

She must do something, she can't let this farce go on for too long, she can't bear the risk!

And just after George Berkeley left, Evelyn Rosier, who got the news, hurried back to discuss with Jacob Rossier.

Xia Yu and others have already fought back, and they must be vigilant again so that the good situation cannot be destroyed.

What Evelyn Rothier and others didn't know was that Xia Yu's series of actions were not only to intimidate Margaret, but also to show them.

This reaction is normal.

Otherwise, being indifferent will make the Roshir family and other short-sellers suspicious, and it will not be beautiful if there is an accident...
