Rebirth of England

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Bongo."

"Your Highness, it is a great honor to be received by you..."

Barron met with Jaime Bongo before Her Majesty the Queen received him.

The meeting took place at Barron's villa near Richmond Park in London.

This villa is the London villa left to Barron in Lady Emma's inheritance.

Richmond is located in the fourth borough of southwest London. It is known for its beautiful environment and is loved by many members of the royal family.

This villa, located near Richmond Park and overlooking the river, is one of the best-located residences in the area.

Barron didn't want everyone to know about his meeting with Jamey Bongo, so it was more appropriate to choose this property that had been handed over to an offshore company as the place for the two to meet.

This was also the first meeting between Barron and Jamey Bongo, but after the meeting, they didn't feel too strange to each other.

Because like Barron, it can be said that he often appears in media reports. Regardless of his appearance or other circumstances, Jamei Bongo will naturally not be unclear about it.

As for Barron, before cooperating with Jamei Bongo, his relevant information, in extremely detailed form, had already been presented to Barron.

Facing the young British Duke in front of him, Jamei Bongo was not at ease. It can be said that this was much more nervous than when he met the British Prime Minister this year.

After all, in front of the British Prime Minister, even if there is a small disrespect, generally speaking, it will not be a big problem. At most, it will leave the other party with a "barbaric and backward" impression and feel contempt.

But this Duke of Devonshire is different. It can be said that everything about Jamei Bongo is in the hands of the other party.

Until the end, Barron was more like chatting with Jammeh Bongo, talking about his life studying abroad in England, the customs of Colo, and Jammeh’s views on some countries other than England. views, including major countries such as the United States, France, Russia and China.

After all, at this time, Barron no longer needs to discuss such important matters with Jamei Bongo through such a chat. If he wants to have this meeting, he still hopes to have such a face-to-face conversation to discuss the important things. All aspects of the other party, including personality, concepts, etc., have an intuitive impression.

After all, it is very likely that the other party will become his important "partner" in the next eight years.

As for those important things about Kolo's future development, they do not need to be discussed in such a meeting, or to put it more bluntly, Jamei Bongo's opinion is not that important.

It may be because he has studied abroad in England, or because he is facing the Duke of England and is in England at this time. During the conversation, it can be felt that Jamei Bongo is relatively close to England in general. of……

Of course, among the members of the Colo Liberation Front, Jammeh Bongo was chosen as the partner. His experience of studying in England was also a factor.

The conversation with Jamei Bongo only lasted less than an hour and a half, and then Barron sent someone to take him back to the hotel where the Kolo delegation was staying.

Basically, he was quite satisfied with this meeting.

"Your Highness, are you staying here today?"

At this time, Alya walked slowly behind Barron, put her hands on his shoulders, pressed them with moderate strength, and asked softly.

"You wouldn't like to live there in Kensington?"

"No... Your Highness, I will accompany you wherever you go to live."

Barron raised his arm and placed his hand on the back of Alya's hand.

His movement caused Aliya's hand to stop, and Barron could feel her soft, boneless hand trembling slightly.

Barron patted the sofa beside him and motioned for her to sit down.

And Aaliya knelt down directly on the carpet next to him...

Looking down at Aliya's delicate face, Barron raised his eyebrows slightly and said in Arabic:

"I wish you could tell me what you really think, Alya."

"I just……"

Alia looked at the patterns on the carpet and said in Arabic:

"I just feel like Miss Bonnie doesn't like me..."

"Bonnie? She's just not used to your existence yet. She doesn't mean anything malicious."

Of course, what Barron did not say is that I am afraid that any woman would not accept it calmly when she sees a beautiful and exotic beauty like Aaliya accompanying her boyfriend.

Barron can understand this, but since she is her own woman, this is something Bonnie needs to adapt to.

"Stay here tonight and go back tomorrow."

Hearing Barron's words, Aliya's eyes immediately lit up with excitement:

"Really? Your Highness the Duke."

Seeing her cute little expression, Barron couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair, and said with a smile:

"Why did I lie to you..."

It can be seen that Aaliyah is indeed in a good mood. She rests her head on Barron's lap. From Barron's perspective, she looks like a well-behaved Persian cat...

…

The visit of the Colo delegation led by Jaime Bongo to England did indeed yield good results.

After being received by Her Majesty the Queen, the Colo delegation reached relevant agreements with the British government.

The Republic of Colo welcomes British companies to invest and will implement tax reduction policies for investments in some industries.

The British government provided 100 million pounds in low-interest loan assistance to the Republic of Colo. This loan has an annual interest rate of only 0.5% and a repayment period of 10 years. It will be repaid in installments five years after the loan is issued.

Of course, these are the parts that can be made public.

In fact, the British government also welcomes Colo's joining the Commonwealth. They will propose to invite the Republic of Colo to become an observer state of the Commonwealth at the Commonwealth Summit to be held in Malta next year, and then open the door for Colo to join the Commonwealth. negotiation.

At the same time, the British government will also provide assistance to Colo in implementing the new currency plan, including providing them with relevant technology. With the contact of the British government and Barron, the company that prints banknotes for the UK is also the largest banknote printer in the world. The company, De La Rue, will open a new printing plant in Kolo to help the Kolo government print new banknotes, as well as printed matter such as citizen ID cards and passports that require extremely high anti-counterfeiting technology.

Because of the climate in Kolo, there is a very humid period every year. They need paper that can adapt to the local environment and avoid mold and deterioration to make banknotes.

It is worth mentioning that one of the reasons why Kolo abandoned the West African CFA franc is that the paper of the West African CFA franc is very "acclimated" to Kolo, and long-term storage is very easy to mold and deteriorate, causing losses to the people and the country.

De La Rue's new printing plant in Colo will be established as a joint venture with West Africa Group, with De La Rue as the controlling shareholder.

The printing company is also able to simultaneously print banknotes for some of De La Rue's customers in Africa, thereby reducing their shipping costs.

Yes, as the world's largest banknote printing company, De La Rue does not just print banknotes for the British government. Many people may think that banknotes, as important resources, should be printed by the country, but the fact is exactly the opposite. .

In today's world, except for a few countries such as China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, it is not uncommon for most countries to hand over currency printing to foreign printing plants.

De La Rue also printed Hong Kong dollars for Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. It was not until 1996 that the local government acquired De La Rue's banknote printing factory in HK and completely took over the banknote printing business.

At this time, Delarue's customers were all over the world, and many countries in Africa had banknotes printed by Delarue.

After completing their visit to England, Jamey Bongo and the others still took civil aviation and left here. They will continue to visit other countries. The next stop is France.

Speaking of which, Jammeh Bongo may be the president in Africa who least has to worry about being "stealed" during a visit abroad...
