Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 411 A deal with the British royal family?
As soon as he entered the box, Bao Guowei instantly felt that the view in front of him had become much more open.

The room looks narrow from the outside, but it is a different world inside.

The first thing that catches your eye is the crystal chandelier that is fanatically loved by British aristocrats.

In the reception rooms of royal palaces and aristocratic manors, large and extremely gorgeous crystal chandeliers can be seen everywhere.

It seems that only this can highlight the owner's extraordinary identity.

The furnishings in the box are simple, just a coffee table and a sofa made of solid wood and velvet.

The host leaned back in the sofa, glancing at the crowd in the lobby on the first floor from time to time.

It must be said that the view here is excellent. Basically, you can have a clear view of the entire hall, but it is difficult to peek into the scene inside the box from below.

It can be said that it is the best place to discuss conspiracies and engage in power-for-sex transactions.

However, the owner of the box looked relatively decent. He had a cigar in his hand, and judging from the ashtray on the table and the teacup opposite, he should not be the only one here.

After entering the room, Bao Guowei easily identified the person's identity.

Henry William Frederick Albert.

The third son of the current British King George V and Queen Mary was created Duke of Gloucester two years ago.

He was thirty years old at the time.

The top figures in London's aristocratic circles can even influence the direction of top-level politics to a certain extent.

It is important to understand that after the Bill of Rights of 1689, the rights of the royal family were greatly restricted, but they did not completely become a "mascot".

The king or queen is not just a symbol of the nation, but also a symbol of the people's emotional identification.

They can also have the right to discuss major events. The views and opinions put forward by the royal family will be given serious consideration and ultimately decided by the parliament.

This may be a drawback of not having undergone thorough reform. During this period, the influence of the British aristocracy in politics was still very significant.

It was not until the Reform Act of 1999 that the power of the aristocracy was restricted in British politics.

As of 1930, over the past century, the British aristocracy had accumulated a large amount of land and wealth, providing a solid economic foundation for their political influence.

Many nobles have deep and extensive roots and connections in the local area, and can have a great say in local affairs.

Political marriages have always been a tradition in Western countries.

In just two hundred years, the British aristocracy has established an interconnected network of relationships in the political arena, and the royal family, at the center of this network, is the aggregation of all networks.

Therefore, the nobility and the royal family after the Bill of Rights naturally did not become puppets and mascots as later generations believed.

Not to mention, before the Reform Act of 1999, the House of Lords of the British Parliament was mainly composed of aristocrats!
The House of Lords has certain powers in legislation.

Peers can propose bills, participate in debates and vote in the House of Lords.

Not to mention the various personal connections they have developed.

Western politics has never been the politics of the common people.

Just as Bao Guowei was lost in thought, Prince Henry broke the silence and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"Mr. Bao?"

Bao Guowei came back to his senses, stepped forward, nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness."

He did not salute, even though the guards and Laski had repeatedly reminded him to salute like a standard British gentleman before he came in.

But Bao Guowei just didn't want to salute.

There is no other reason. As a Chinese, he has long lost his own emperor. Why should he pay tribute to the emperor of another country?
Prince Henry was not surprised. Instead, it was the neither humble nor arrogant expression on Bao Guowei's face that won Prince Henry's inner respect.

Isn't this what a genius is like?

Prince Henry had seen too many eccentric scientists in the Academy of Sciences. If Bao Guowei did not have this attitude, he would have thought it was a little abnormal.

In short, no matter where you are, strength is the first priority.

If Bao Guowei could make the British Empire once again the empire on which the sun never sets, Prince Henry would even be willing to give the other party a beating, and it would not be impossible to negotiate.

However, even if Bao Guowei had this ability, he would not be able to help Britain achieve this goal.

The half-dead Britain is the good Britain.

Moreover, Bao Guowei was not worried at all that the economic policies he proposed, such as "work-for-relief" and "macro-control", would enable Britain to make rapid progress and return to its peak.

This is a gift he stitched together by combining the excellent economic experience of later generations and part of Roosevelt's New Deal.

At this point in time, this is enough to shock the British, but if you want to save a country's economy, it is not enough to just come up with a reliable economic policy.

"Economic operation is extremely complex. The macroeconomics I have studied still focuses on theoretical derivation and discussion. In terms of specific implementation, we also need to consider media publicity, corporate coordination, cooperation from local institutions and even international situations, etc."

It was obvious that Prince Henry had called him here because of the economic policy just now.

So in just a few words, Bao Guowei put forward his own views.

It can be considered as a preventive measure and a disclaimer in a sense.

The subtext is that I, Bao Guowei, am only the proposer of the economic theory. There are too many things involved in the implementation of the economic theory. If the theory fails in practice in the future, I will not be responsible.

To be honest, he had no idea whether macroeconomic theory could be truly implemented in Britain during this period.

When he was in China, he never thought of proposing relevant theories, because at that point in time, the Republic of China could not be saved by any economic policy.

If there is a problem at the root, no amount of drastic measures will help.

In this era, the only countries that can truly practice these economic theories are the Western countries.

"Mr. Bao actually thinks so?"

Prince Henry opened his mouth. He had been overwhelmed by joy, but after hearing Churchill's comments and the cheers of many MPs in the venue, he felt that this matter must have been a success.

This is an absolutely viable economic policy!

But after Bao Guowei's reminder, Prince Henry immediately came to his senses and realized that it was not so easy to achieve economic recovery.

Not to mention the difficulties mentioned by Bao Guowei above, we also have to consider whether opponents like Mosley will cause trouble and undermine the implementation of this economic theory.

Thinking of this, Prince Henry couldn't help but sigh and said: "Mr. Bao, you are truly an excellent scholar. I am impressed by your rational thinking."

During the conversation, Bao Guowei's rational and logical language surprised Prince Henry. He could never have imagined that this was a Chinese who grew up in the East and had just arrived in London.

"Your suggestions are very helpful. I think the UK will need your strong support in the future, such as some competent authorities, research institutes and universities."

If Shi Zhaoji were present, he would surely lament the disparity in people's fortunes. Bao Guowei easily obtained a status that many Chinese intellectuals could never dream of.

Prince Henry's meaning was very clear. On behalf of the British royal family and government, he extended an invitation to Bao Guowei for long-term cooperation!
If Bao Guowei wanted to, it would not be impossible for him to take root in the UK, live a Western life, and be "worshipped" by countless Western politicians.

You know, this is a status that even the "great" Mr. Hu Shizhi could not achieve, which shows its true value.

However, Bao Guowei was a "greenhorn". It was not that he did not understand the meaning of the other party's words, but he pretended not to know how to bargain.

"Well." Bao Guowei made an awkward expression on his face and pretended to be helpless. "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to serve your country, it's just that I don't have enough time."

This is not a lie. Bao Guowei will go to France later to participate in the selection of the Goncourt Prize.

Then he had to hurry back to celebrate the New Year with Lao Bao and Lao Zhang.

The most important thing is that Bao Guowei has accepted Peking University’s invitation and said that he wants to get engaged to Zhang Nianyue.

All these things made it impossible for Bao Guowei to stay in the UK for a long time.

After hearing this, Prince Henry expressed his understanding and nodded.

"Love and family affection are things that no one can give up."

"However," Henry said with a gentle smile on his face. "I think Britain is willing to help you solve any problems."

Bao Guowei was shocked and saw the meaning hidden in Prince Henry's eyes.

People in the upper class always like to hide their intentions and are often more subtle and secretive in their language.

But this time, Prince Henry has revealed his true intentions.

This commitment is clearer than the above.

Anyone who is not a fool can hear the recruitment signal sent by Prince Henry on behalf of Britain.

It can be said that if Bao Guowei is willing, Britain is willing to solve any problem for him, whether it is family or emotional, material or identity.

It is a simple thing to become the highest-ranking Chinese person abroad.

As for the nationality which is worthless but extremely precious in the eyes of many “public intellectuals”?
The top leaders, led by the British prince, are eager to stamp the British seal on Bao Guowei right now.

Bao Guowei has always been clear-headed. He knows clearly that when dealing with these politicians, any gifts will be clearly priced in the future.

As a Chinese, no matter what the reason, Britain will not be his home.

In fact, all of this was just a small preparation made by Bao Guowei for another purpose.

"Your Highness, I am deeply humbled by your sincerity and honored to be able to help the British people out of their dire straits."

"Really!" Prince Henry stood up excitedly, but sat down again after hearing the next sentence.

"But I still have some reasons why I can't come," Bao Guowei said with an embarrassed look.

"As you know, our country is in deep trouble and the actual controller of the Republic of China is Chang, who is not an enlightened leader."

In order to lay the groundwork, Bao Guowei had to sacrifice Mr. Chang's reputation.

But Bao Guowei did not feel any guilt. After all, "dictatorship", "purge", "power-for-money transactions" and "family politics" were all things he had done before.
Bao Guowei is not slandering him, but stating the facts!
Hearing this, Prince Henry's face became increasingly grim.

He immediately thought of the talented Mr. Bao in front of him, who had to endure humiliation and was unable to display his true talents due to the oppression of the domestic authorities, and might even prevent Mr. Bao from "abandoning darkness and joining the light"!
"Damn dictator!" Prince Henry couldn't help but curse.

Bao Guowei's expression changed for a moment, and he didn't continue speaking.

The other party is not a fool. It is impossible for them to easily get involved in China's domestic politics just because of one of their policies. This is not in their interests.

This was just a means for Bao Guowei to build up emotions, and to criticize Lao Chang at the same time, leaving some impression, which might be of great use in the future.

Therefore, Bao Guowei said: "Even so, I am happy to contribute my own strength to the people of the British Empire, express my friendship to the royal family and the government, and provide some advice and analysis from time to time."

"Great!" After the previous preparation, Prince Henry felt Bao Guowei's sincerity even more, and he couldn't help but say with emotion. "I can't say anything else, but if the Chang authorities do anything unfavorable to Mr. Bao in the future, I can make representations on behalf of the British government."

Prince Henry couldn't help but emphasize.

"This is a friendship that we will definitely cherish. Protecting a genius scholar is a consensus of all mankind!"

Bao Guowei smiled slightly. This had basically met his expectations. Then he changed his tone and spoke.

"Nothing"

"But what?" Prince Henry asked anxiously, almost numb from the pulling.

"But I hope that as a friend, Your Highness can do me a favor."

Hearing this, Prince Henry's face gradually became serious. He knew in his heart that considering the other party's current worth, the conditions proposed must not be simple.

Money, beauty or power?
I'm afraid the other party is not interested.

Or was it about politics? Prince Henry frowned at this. To be honest, "political protection" was the biggest condition he could offer.

He has some understanding of the current situation in China.

The largest force, the National Government, has clearly become the actual controller of this ancient empire.

However, the national government was also deeply affected by the economic crisis and faced difficulties in many aspects such as politics, economy, diplomacy, etc.

Not to mention the various empires' coveting of the Far East's resources.

But even if this is the case, no scholar would believe that the other party could drive Britain to participate in the politics of the Far East simply by relying on an economic theory, right?

Even though this economic theory is extremely important, it is completely impossible to achieve.

No sane British MP in Parliament would agree.

Thinking of this, Prince Henry had already set his bottom line, and he spoke in a slightly serious tone.

"Mr. Bao, you can bring it up, but it must be under relatively reasonable circumstances."

Bao Guowei no longer kept the audience in suspense and spoke out a bunch of nouns that he had already prepared in his mind.

"Solve the problem of Chinese workers and provide convenience for them to study in the UK."
