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

Chapter 177 Full of Harvests
Everyone had a very enjoyable lunch. They talked about the entertainment industry, British football, scenery, fashion, and finally the country manor that Luo Nianzhong had in mind.

Dennis said that if Luo Nianzhong is interested, he will tell him as soon as he finds someone interested in selling.

Luo Nianzhong also thanked him and promised to treat him to dinner when the time came.

After lunch, after tasting a cup of British black tea, Dennis stood up and invited Matsuzaka Keiko to visit the nearby buildings.

Matsuzaka Keiko also knew that there was something to discuss and it was not convenient for her to be present, so she readily agreed.

Before leaving, Dennis jokingly said, "Luo, I hope you won't be jealous of me being alone with your female companion."

"Your words make me doubt whether you will kneel down on the remote control when you go home at night."

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Luo Nianzhong told everyone the story of the remote control, which naturally made the whole audience laugh.

Mrs. Iron Lady also thanked Luo Nianzhong for giving her a good idea.

With a bitter look on his face, Dennis left with Keiko Matsuzaka, and the Iron Lady brought Luo Nianzhong and Welch to her office, where she usually handles all matters, big and small.

The office is not very big, and it doesn't look very luxurious at first glance, but if you look closely, every furnishing is of top-notch craftsmanship.

For example, the sofa that Luo Nianzhong is sitting on now is definitely customized based on his experience.

If the economy is not good, that is for ordinary people. They will not give up their right to be comfortable and enjoy themselves, and they will not spend their own money.

After the Iron Lady asked the staff who brought the black tea to leave, she stared at Luo Nianzhong and joked.

"Mr. Luo, are you interested in my office? Do you want me to have someone give you the manufacturer?"

Of course she was joking to brighten the mood.

Judging from the information he got, although Luo Nianzhong would not deliberately pursue the ultimate enjoyment, he was not opposed to it and was willing to spend money.

Luo Nianzhong looked calm and said with a smile, "I am a little curious. Apart from Mr. Reagan's white house, this is my second time in a leader's office."

When I was in Rabbit, I was in the conference hall, so it doesn’t count in the strict sense.

The Iron Lady smiled bitterly inwardly when she heard this. This is really a man who doesn't suffer at all.

From her point of view, this is a guy who respects you even if you respect me a foot, and if you take an inch of me, you will annex you directly.

The meaning is very clear. I have even entered your eldest brother's office. What's wrong with you, the younger brother? The hint of curiosity he said was more like an antonym.

Is this a small warning to me for taking the initiative yesterday?
But the Iron Lady soon calmed down, and she did not forget what the purpose of today was.

"Mr. Luo seems to value the automobile industry very much. There are many car brands in England. I don't think a Rolls-Royce can satisfy Mr. Luo's appetite, right?"

Luo Nianzhong did not answer, and Welch on the side grabbed the right to speak.

"Indeed, we are not opposed to adding more car brands to our portfolio, but we feel that now is not the best time."

The British automobile industry has a long history and has always been considered to represent the ultimate in automobile craftsmanship.

It is the best expression of taste, value, elegance, luxury and many other words in cars.

Bentley, Land Rover, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce, which was acquired by Far East Motors, have always been synonymous with top car brands, making Luo Nianzhong coveted.

But Welch is right, now is not the best time to take action on these cars.

These car companies are all loss-making industries and require massive blood transfusions from the British finance every year.

At this time, the acquisition is obviously helping the Iron Lady clean up the mess. It will obviously be more suitable to take action when the government decides not to subsidize these car companies and a large number of workers are laid off.

First, the policies will be better, and second, many unemployed workers and trade unions will be grateful to Luo Nianzhong and regard him as their savior.

At least within a certain period of time, these workers will be willing to work hard.

If the acquisition is carried out at this unclear stage, the Far East Group will become the scapegoat of Britain and even spend a lot of energy and money to appease the workers.

Of course, there are good things and bad things.

Compared to the current situation where there is no competition, by then, there will definitely be many competitors.

But Luo Nianzhong is not afraid, it's just the price.

Looking at the rejected Iron Lady, Luo Nianzhong smiled and said, "Prime Minister, I think my contribution last night was great, wasn't it?".

This is the real dissatisfaction. Tell the other party that your attitude yesterday was very helpful in your re-election, but your current behavior is obviously not sincere enough.

The Iron Lady's face was very calm, and she was not moved by Welch's rejection or Luo Nianzhong's dissatisfaction at all, which fully demonstrated the basic qualities of a serious guest.

"Mr. Luo, you should know that even with my endorsement, you won't be able to get many shares in many industries."

The petrochemical industry has always been the exclusive domain of established families, and the military industry is even more out of the question.

The same goes for businesses related to people's livelihood, such as water, electricity, coal, etc. It is basically impossible to hold a controlling stake for the time being.

These are currently money-making projects, and how many people are watching them.

Later, if it weren't for the British development of people's livelihood enterprise-related licenses, which brought a large number of competitors to the market, Li Bancheng would not have been able to participate.

Luo Nianzhong didn't know about these situations. He never thought about completely controlling these industries from the beginning. It didn't matter how much he had, as long as he had a certain say and could make money. Even if it is nothing at all, it is not his goal now.

"Pharmaceuticals and communications, I hope these two industries can be completely open to the Far East Group."

What is radical openness? That is, you can hand over the controlling rights and management rights and the government will not interfere.

What will be Britain’s pillar industry in a few decades?
The service industry deserves to be number one, accounting for more than half of GDP.

However, this industry is too huge to be controlled by one force. When the time comes, the Eight Immortals will cross the sea and show their magical powers.

In addition to the service industry, the remaining industries are finance, telecommunications, military industry, chemical pharmaceuticals, automobiles, semiconductors and AI.

In terms of finance, Luo Nianzhong has already entered. It depends on the future development trend.

Military industry is impossible now. If future descendants have British nationality, they can still plan for it.

Semiconductors have been intercepted by Luo Nianzhong, otherwise Charles would not be obsessed with Far East Semiconductors, and AI is something that has disappeared now.

The rest are the pharmaceutical, telecommunications and automotive industries.

Needless to say, in the automotive industry, Luo Nianzhong would definitely get involved when the time came, so he proposed the pharmaceutical and telecommunications industries.

Currently, Britain does not have GlaxoSmithKline, one of the world's top ten pharmaceutical companies. This behemoth formed by the merger of several pharmaceutical companies is still fighting on its own.

Not to mention the telecommunications industry. Except for AT&T in the beautiful country, companies in other countries are not very strong.

The market value of British Telecom is not low because of its business in the British colonies in the past. It is estimated that the market value can exceed 5 billion pounds.

However, British Telecom is still affiliated with British Post, and Luo Nianzhong knows that it will soon be split off.

These two industries are not particularly important to Britain now, and Luo Nianzhong feels that the benefits he wants are reasonable.

Indeed, as he thought, the Iron Lady only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Yes, but you have to pay for my privatization reform."

"We have no obligation to do this. This kind of thankless thing is not in our interests."

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Luo Nianzhong would have wanted to shout out for Welch, and also give full marks to the tacit understanding between the two.

“This is one of the prices you have to pay if you want to take root in England.

"In yesterday's incident, I did benefit from you, but you did not suffer a loss. I know that you control half of Barclays Bank and British Media."

The Iron Lady watched Welch speak word by word, and her attitude became serious.

The free economy is her most important policy policy, and whether it can be successful is related to her next election. She does not want to leave her fate to others like this time.

"Prime Minister, you must know that it is not our Far East Group that needs to invest in England. Obviously you are the more urgent party.

As for yesterday's negotiation, it was a trick on your part, and it was reached when I, the CEO of the Far East Group, was dismissed.

If I were present, this negotiation would not be like this, and I feel that our Far East Group is at a disadvantage."

Welch was indeed pushed away, which is why he wasn't there at the time.

However, he did not fall into a trap but took advantage of the situation.

The Iron Lady looked at Luo Nianzhong and said nothing, and secretly cursed the little fox as if she respected Welch.

She really couldn't understand how such a person in his early 20s could have such business wisdom and negotiation awareness with decades of experience in business. Are there really such weird people in this world who are self-taught?
At this time, she also understood that no matter how much Welch was not optimistic about British investment according to the previous intelligence, now it was obvious that Luo Nianzhong had convinced him or made him succumb on his own initiative.

Now the two of them were singing this show in front of her, one with a red face and the other with a white face, but she didn't dare to bet that Luo Nianzhong would still stubbornly increase his position in Ying Lun under the current conditions.

With a sullen face, Welch did not look at Welch who was dissatisfied with her. Instead, he asked Luo Nianzhong, who was always smiling, "What are the conditions?"

Luo Nianzhong was not embarrassed at all because the Iron Lady saw the two of them setting up a stage. He drank black tea and looked at Welch.

"I heard that the British government plans to test the waters with Dadong Telegraph Company? The Prime Minister should know that our group is now the major shareholder of Hong Kong Island Telephone, so he is very interested in this company that has Hong Kong Island's external communication rights."

Unlike British Telecom, which serves the local area, although Dadong Telegraph Company is also a telecommunications company affiliated with British Post, its business is overseas.

It is precisely because of this that the Iron Lady government will use it to launch the first move to privatize the telecommunications industry, because it values ​​​​that domestic resistance will be much smaller.

The Iron Lady still didn't look at Welch. She looked directly at Luo Nianzhong for a moment and then said, "I hope you will keep your word and go all out."

Luo Nianzhong smiled generously, "No problem, as long as the Prime Minister dares, I don't care."

He didn't believe that the Iron Lady would dare to allow Luo Nianzhong to accumulate these stocks in the stock market without any restrictions. At most, she would just heighten the atmosphere and create an illusion when the stock sales were unsatisfactory.

This range will not exceed 10%. Once it exceeds, the Iron Lady will definitely let Luo Nianzhong spit out whatever he wants.

After all, Luo Nianzhong would only use Luo Nianzhong's trump card when her party faced a life-or-death situation.

This is not called taking cover, but buying insurance.

Naturally, Luo Nianzhong, the insurance company, has gained a lot.
