Chapter 1292 Legal Private Army
Li Guangyu chatted with Thatcher for an hour and a half before sending Thatcher away with Cao Weiqing.

There are many topics discussed this time, some about Xiangjiang, some about England, and some about Eastern Europe.

In this regard, the two sides have mentioned all the areas where they have disputes, and have conducted long-term communication on areas where they can cooperate.

Especially regarding the cooperation in Eastern Europe, Thatcher is very supportive of the active participation of the Lee Consortium, and England is willing to provide it with necessary support and assistance.

After Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing returned to the room, Cao Weiqing said: "Guangyu, it seems that our prime minister wants you to be the pioneer in the Eastern European market, but their British capital is hiding behind and waiting to take advantage of it. She thought it was good. of,"

Cao Weiqing didn't believe the big pie drawn by Thatcher. If there was a real problem, Yinglun would at most issue a statement. It would probably be impossible for them to come in and help the Lee consortium.

Now the situation in Eastern Europe continues in Eastern Europe, and there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons behind the scenes. Intelligence personnel from all sides are active there, and the forces supporting them are also different. If the Li's consortium jumps out at this time, it may only become the target of all parties.

Li Guangyu said: "Now the situation is complicated. We can only pay more attention and at the same time increase our own strength. Before, we lacked the opportunity to develop military power, but Bentley Island gave us such an opportunity."

Li Guangyu never thought that the strength of his Bentley Island could compete with the military force of the United States, England, France and other countries. The force of Bentley Island was used to deter major consortiums.

To put it bluntly, the armed personnel on Bentley Island are the private army of the Li consortium, or a legal private army. It was Yinglun who personally handed him the key to the development of the private army.

He also understood England's plan to do so. The existence of Bentley Island would give the Lee Consortium the confidence to say no to some forces, and at the same time, it would be able to sow discord between the Li Consortium and the North.

The Lee Consortium was originally a large monopoly consortium, and there was a base like Bentley Island on the outside, and there were thousands of private troops in the sea, land and air. Such an existence, no matter what the Li Consortium did or expressed, would be regarded as An extremely dangerous bomb.

The so-called ass decides the head. From the standpoint of the Li Consortium, Li Guangyu must strengthen his own force, so that he can better protect the interests of the growing Li Consortium. The Li Consortium without the slightest counterattack power will only be a Lamb to be slaughtered.

Li Guangyu would never entrust the life and death of his own power to a certain power, that would be irresponsible to the Li family consortium, and also irresponsible to his allies.

Cao Weiqing also understands that the Li family is no longer the small family it was when Li Guangyu took over more than ten years ago. After more than ten years of rapid development, the current Li family consortium is already a giant, with thousands of registered companies and over a hundred employees worldwide. Ten thousand.

Even without counting the market value of Tianyu Financial Group, the total market value of other groups and independent companies is estimated to have exceeded 6000 billion U.S. dollars. Even if some of the shares that have been reduced by some listed groups are removed, the estimated value of the shares independently controlled by Li's consortium has also exceeded 5000. billion dollars.

As for the valuation of Tianyu Financial Group, there is not much way to calculate it. Now the cash in the account of Tianyu Investment Company has exceeded 700 billion U.S. dollars, and the profits of Tianyu Bank in the past two years have all been eaten into gold. There are already 300 tons of gold in the vault of Xiangjiang headquarters, worth 42 billion US dollars.

Such a gold reserve is more than that of most countries in the world. Let’s just talk about a few big countries that have surpassed the gold reserves of Tianyu Bank.

After the disintegration of the Breton system in the 70s, gold and the dollar were decoupled, and the importance of gold was not so important.

To be honest, some senior members of the Li Family Consortium raised objections to using the money to buy these golds. After all, the profit of buying gold to preserve value is too low. If the price of gold goes down, it will lose money, which is far less profitable than investing in other industries. .

However, this objection was suppressed by Li Guangyu. This gold is not used to make a lot of money, but to buy insurance. Any currency may become a piece of waste paper, but due to its special nature, gold will become the most valuable currency when necessary. Hard currency payment.

Cao Weiqing was also aware of a plan in Li Guangyu's heart, that is, in the future, the Li's consortium will reserve 5000 billion US dollars in cash reserves to deal with various crises.

It was hard for her to imagine that if Li Guangyu really completed this plan, then there would be any forces that would dare to target the Li's consortium in the stock market, thinking that the huge amount of cash would cut off any consortium's idea of ​​using financial means.

It is precisely because the strength of the Li's consortium is now on an equal footing with the top ten consortiums in the United States and the six major consortia in Japan, so it is so big that Li Guangyu now wants to increase his own strength so desperately to protect his own safety.

The Li family is the Li family, and will not become the next Hu family, let alone the next Shen family. Li Guangyu is not Hu Xueyan, nor Shen Wansan. When the Li family and the Li family consortium are under fatal threat, the Li family will definitely fall He fights all the way to the end, even if his body is smashed to pieces, he must bite off a piece of flesh from the other party.

The British government and the royal family have given them such a platform, allowing them to establish conventional military forces that are legal in the world. Bentley Island has the right to independently develop military forces and will not be accused or interfered by any country or region.

Although the United States is putting pressure on it now, it doesn't have much effect. Li Guangyu doesn't care about their pressure now. Anyway, the consortiums in the United States have targeted him not once or twice. You must know that Bentley Island is a British territory, and the United States has not yet Rampant enough to do anything here.

Once the United States really takes action, the United States will lose its allies in Western Europe. Such a loss is absolutely unbearable for the United States.

You must know that France in Western Europe has been opposed to American interference in Western European affairs since the time of Charles de Gaulle. If Germany was not under the pressure of the Soviet Union, it would not be of one mind with the United States. It is impossible for Italy to have much favor for the United States.

The United States really relies on England to check and balance Western Europe. Many things related to Western Europe are caused by England. The European Community was proposed by West Germany and France, and these two countries really pulled the European Community.

So unless it is absolutely necessary, the United States is unwilling to offend England too much. Once the Western European countries really unite, the United States will be in big trouble at that time. The technology of Western European countries is really not afraid of the United States. As long as they unite, whether it is economic or military, the United States All have a headache.

You must know that after World War II, France once proposed to unify the countries of Western Europe into one country, but it is a pity that England did not agree. If the two countries agreed at that time, Western Europe would be a huge country.

Now the European Community is similar, and the United States is increasingly worried about it. Once the Soviet Union falls, the European Community and even the European Union, which has already been put on the agenda, will become one of their biggest competitors.

In order to put more pressure on Western Europe, the United States has already decided that the Soviet Union can be weakened, but its main body will remain, and it must be made a certain threat so that Western Europe cannot get rid of its military dependence on the United States.

At the same time, the three major carriages of the European Community are divided from the inside, especially the British side. Compared with Germany and France, England is more suitable for their wooing.
