Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

No. 10 Downing Street, traditionally the official residence of the First Chancellor of the Exchequer, but since the position of the First Chancellor of the Exchequer was concurrently held by the Prime Minister, No. 10 Downing Street has become widely regarded as the first official residence of the United Kingdom today.

No. 10 Downing Street is very close to the Parliament, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Buckingham Officials. Therefore, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he will meet people from all walks of life and important figures from various countries here.

This time, Xia Yu walked side by side with Duke Carter Howard, came to this place together, and met Margaret Thatcher in the reception hall.

"Ms. Margaret, hello!"

"Sir Carter, Mr. Xia, how are you!"

Maybe it was Duke Carter Howard among the people who visited, so Margaret Thatcher's attitude was very friendly and warm.

After the two sides chatted, they took their seats one after another.

Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard looked at each other, the latter coughed lightly, attracted Margaret Thatcher's eyes, and said aloud: "Ms. Margaret, I'm here to disturb you this time, it is There is one thing I want to ask for your support."

Margaret Thatcher narrowed her smile, looked at Carter Howard calmly, nodded slightly and said, "Please say it!"

Duke Carter Howard smiled and said slowly: "I don't know if you know, now that Rolls-Royce Motors has re-emerged, and has sold more than 2,000 cars since January, with a turnover of more than one year. fifty million pounds."

Margaret Thatcher really didn't know about this, she looked surprised, looked at Xia Yu, put her eyes back on Duke Carter Howard, and asked in surprise: "Sir Carter, you Is that true? That's amazing, and many more workers have stable jobs, and these families should thank you."

Duke Carter Howard shook his head with a smile and explained: "No, it was Mr. Xia who actually did all this. It was under his reform that Rolls-Royce Motor Company was reborn."

Margaret Thatcher did not expect Duke Carter Howard to answer like this, he looked at Xia Yu in surprise, and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, I thank you on behalf of the British people, thank you for what you have done for Britain. contribution.”

Xia Yu resisted the urge to respond, and said humbly, "Ms. Margaret, if you say this, you will see the outside world. I am also a British citizen. This is what I should do, isn't it?"

Margaret Thatcher was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, please forgive my slip of the tongue, but your contribution is indelible."

Xia Yu smiled and pointedly said: "Ms. Margaret, I am honored that I can contribute to the people. If I have the opportunity, I hope to do more for the government and the people."

Margaret Thatcher froze in her heart, and the secret message came right away, her smile remained unchanged, and she said, "Thank you for your efforts!"

At this time, according to what was negotiated in the car when he arrived, Duke Carter Howard said again: "Ms. Margaret, although Rolls-Royce Motor Company has re-emerged, compared with Volkswagen, BMW, Ford and other companies , are still very weak and do not have the strength to compete directly with them, and in order to cope with the ubiquitous competition, we intend to strengthen the strength of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars as soon as possible."

"And it can also solve the burden for the government and make greater contributions to the people."

"We intend to acquire Leyland Automotive Group and hope to obtain government approval."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Margaret Thatcher's face disappeared completely, her brows furrowed, and she looked completely embarrassed.

But whoever was present was not a fox, Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard stared at him silently, waiting for her answer.

"The Leyland Auto Group? I don't know the company that well..."

Margaret Thatcher said with some regret, as if she wanted to temporarily shirk and put this matter on hold.

She is a prudent person, and she never expresses her position casually without understanding the situation.

Just like now.

But Xia Yu and others were already prepared, he immediately took out a document and put it on the table, pushed it in front of Margaret Thatcher, made a gesture of please, and said with a light smile: "Margaret Ma'am, here's all the Leyland Auto Group information for you to check out."

(⊙o⊙)…

"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

Margaret Thatcher was helpless, picked up the document and read it quietly.

After a long time, she put down the document, raised her head again, looked at the two with some embarrassment, and said, "I understand the situation, if Rolls-Royce Motor Company acquired Leyland Automobile Group, it would be suspected of being a monopoly. It may not be possible to pass, and even if it passes, there will be trouble.”

In fact, Margaret Thatcher's worries were not unreasonable!

There are many British car factories, but in the past few decades, they have merged one after another, and there are not many left.

When Rolls-Royce was still around, it could be said that the only profitable company was Jaguar, which was also the UK's largest car sales company.

Now Rolls-Royce has re-emerged, and it has surpassed Jaguar in the first place, and it is expected that the annual turnover will exceed it.

If Rolls-Royce Motor Company merges with Leyland Motor Group, other British carmakers will almost lose their competitiveness, and there is definitely a suspicion of monopoly.

But is it possible to give up because of this possibility?

Absolutely impossible!

And Xia Yu has a way to solve it! He will act later!

Therefore, Xia Yu did not change his face and said confidently: "Ms. Margaret, even if the Leyland Group is acquired, and there are car factories such as Aston Martin, McLaren and Lotus, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will not create a monopoly."

"And if you take a closer look, you will find that the British car market has almost become a dumping ground for island cars and American cars. In this case, if the major British car manufacturers do not unite, they will not even be able to save face!"

Xia Yu's later words talked about Margaret Thatcher's pain, and her face was a little gloomy.

Now that the offensive has been launched, it must be done in one go.

Xia Yu continued: "And now Leland Auto Group has been losing money. Every year, the government has to take hundreds of millions of pounds to make up for it. If this money is used to improve people's livelihood, it will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens."

"If Leyland Motor Group is acquired by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, we are confident that it will be reinvigorated and generate good tax revenue for the UK, just like Rolls-Royce Motor Cars."

"It's just over a month now, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has already had a turnover of 150 million pounds. When the Geneva Motor Show opens in March, the sales of Rolls-Royce's two new cars will skyrocket. This year's turnover of the company It is possible to exceed 1.5 billion pounds, which will contribute 500 to 600 million in tax revenue to the government."

"If the Leyland Auto Group is acquired, the profits and taxes will only be higher, and the government will have one less burden."

Seeing Margaret Thatcher's face contemplative and even a little anxious, Xia Yu paused and continued: "The automotive industry has always been the pride of the UK, but now in the world, when people think of cars, only It's American cars, German cars and island cars, how many people can remember British cars?"

"The UK, as a big country, needs a front in the automotive field. The strength of the world's major auto giants is all-round. Although the two new cars launched by Rolls-Royce are very popular, this advantage is only temporary. The crisis still exists, and Rolls-Royce Motor Company urgently needs to improve its overall competitiveness in order to have the ability and confidence to step out of the UK and become a world-class auto giant, to compete fiercely with Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota!"

"Ms Margaret, you are a wise leader, you have been trying to bring the British economy back to life, and I hope you will consider our proposal."

After speaking, Xia Yu kept his mouth shut and drank tea quietly.

He has said everything that needs to be said, and his reasons are sufficient. If Margaret Thatcher does not agree with these reasons, then he must doubt the latter's determination in economic reform.

Duke Carter Howard gave Xia Yu an admiring look, and then said slowly: "Ms. Margaret, Mr. Xia's point of view is the same as mine. Although the British auto industry is still developed, almost all profits are made by foreign auto companies. Go, we're doing something for other countries, it's time to take back what we've lost!"

After a long time, Margaret Thatcher's expression returned to calm, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, and I also hope that the British auto industry can take back its own glory."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu and Duke Carter Howard suddenly smiled.

It's done!

As for the Prime Minister's approval, will there be any objections below?

Xia Yu is not worried at all, after all, no one will hate them at the same time, even the Labour Party and the Liberal Party will not do such stupid things, unless they want to have two more powerful enemies in the next general election.

"Ms. Margaret, maybe tomorrow Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will launch a takeover of the Leyland Motor Group."

Xia Yu said aloud.

Margaret Thatcher nodded slightly and said, "I see."

The matter has been negotiated, and after a few words of greetings, Xia Yu and others bid farewell.

On the way back, Xia Yu shared a car with Duke Carter Howard. Xia Yu smiled and said politely, "Sir Carter, thanks to you this time."

Duke Carter Howard said with a smile: "No, it's your reason that made Margaret's heart move. If it were me, I wouldn't refuse."

"Although Rolls-Royce Motors was sold to us for 120 million pounds, the government is the biggest beneficiary if it can generate 500 million to 600 million pounds in tax revenue this year."

Xia Yu said with a smile: "It shouldn't be difficult for a turnover of more than 1.5 billion pounds. As long as the Geneva Motor Show opens, it's time for the Rolls-Royce Motor Company to explode."

Duke Carter Howard was instantly amused and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha..."

"By the way, Sir, the privatization of Jaguar Motors and the acquisition of TI Automotive Systems also need your help."

"No problem, William Lyons has given his life to Jaguar. Although he has retired, he has always been worried about the future of Jaguar. His son is not interested in running a car company. Results, he has no reason to refuse."

"As for the TI Automotive Systems acquisition, if you get stuck, have Rudolf Brooke come to me anytime."

"OK."
