Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

After being identified by Li Wuming at the door, Francois Mitterrand led Li Wuming to the innermost living room.

There was only Xia Yu in the living room. Xia Yu, who had already heard the footsteps, had already stood up. After seeing the figure of François Mitterrand, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he said hello in proficient French: "Mitterand. Sir, I'm really sorry to invite you here so late."

Rao had seen Xia Yu's profile before and knew that Xia Yu was very young, but when he suddenly saw the real person, François Mitterrand was still shocked.

And he didn't expect that Xia Yu could speak such fluent French. If he listened with his eyes closed, he would definitely think that the person in front of him was a native French.

Incredible!

Fortunately, he is a political veteran. Although he was shocked, he did not show it. He shook hands with Xia Yu with a kind smile and said, "Mr. Xia, good evening. It is my honor to meet you."

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "It should be my honor!"

Francois Mitterrand said with a sigh: "Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to speak French so well. This is shocking to me. You have an enviable talent for language."

Xia Yu smiled and said: "Thank you, I do have a certain talent in language, this should be the only thing that stands out for me."

Francois Mitterrand laughed and said, "Mr. Xia, you are really humble."

"Haha, let's sit down and talk!"

Xia Yu replied with a smile, then led Francois Mitterrand to the sofa and sat down.

"Tea or coffee?"

"Tea, I heard that drinking tea after a meal can help freshen your breath. I just finished dinner an hour ago."

Francois Mitterrand said with a smile, feeling quite familiar, Xia Yu couldn't help but light up his eyes.

"Mr. Mitterrand, tea has many functions, such as health care, oil removal, and digestion. It is best to drink tea an hour after a meal."

"My tea is a new premium green tea released this year, but it's not available on the market. Try it if you like it."

After brewing, Xia Yu poured out amber tea on the cup,

Holding the teacup with wooden tweezers and placing it in front of Francois Mitterrand, he made a gesture of please.

"Well, there is a charming fragrance..."

The two communicated with a friendly attitude, and this cup of tea was an introduction, which opened up the topic of chat between the two.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that you have a lot of investment in France. Are you optimistic about France's current economic development?"

Francois Mitterrand asked casually.

Xia Yu glanced at him, nodded and shook his head. When François Mitterrand frowned, he slowly said, "I'm not optimistic about France either."

"France, as a major economy in Europe, cannot be avoided unless I don't want to develop a business, so large-scale investment in France is inevitable."

"But I'm not optimistic about the current France. Gidekar De Stein has his own unique view on the economy, and also has a very broad vision in the international overall situation. He even went to Germany last year to jointly advocate the establishment of the European Monetary Union for the first time. , he's a very capable man."

"But in a downturn in the global economy, especially when Europe is in deep economic quagmire, his liberal policies are not suitable for France. He has tried different methods, but the French economy has not improved."

"So I've invested in a lot of companies in France, but when there's no big change in France, the investment is basically that much."

Giscard Destin was Francois Mitterrand's opponent, and Xia Yu's evaluation of Giscard Destin made him feel good.

George Berkeley had communicated with him several times before, so he also knew some of Xia Yu's attitude.

The reason why he met Xia Yu under the guise of coming to the island country this time was because he wanted to know Xia Yu's true attitude, which was extremely important to him.

At this time, Xia Yu made the topic clear to this level, he did not hide it, and asked: "Mr. Xia, you are the top economic powerhouse in the world, in your opinion, what should France do if it wants to get out of the quagmire? ?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Although the UK has already started the process of privatizing state-owned enterprises, it is because the state-owned enterprises in the UK are already quite bloated, but France is different from the UK."

"For now, the production efficiency of state-owned enterprises in France is still higher than that of the United Kingdom, and it is not yet necessary to privatize them. State-owned enterprises have the advantages of the state-owned enterprise system, and the efficiency of state-owned enterprises in France needs to be improved."

"At this time of economic downturn, in addition to non-people's livelihood industries, industries related to people's livelihood should obey the unified guidance of the government and fully integrate resources to generate more powerful energy."

Hearing Xia Yu say this, François Mitterrand smiled even more, because this was his consistent economic concept.

He has always advocated the gradual structural reform of the French economy through a certain degree of nationalization, planning and autonomous management on the basis of not eliminating private ownership, in order to establish a "democratic", "free" "French-style". socialism".

There is a certain market for his concept, but the level is lower, and it is more difficult to get the support of French upper-level capital.

He also knows the drawbacks, so he has left room for ideas, which are reserved for negotiating and exchanging interests with capitalists.

It's just hard to say...

So when George Berkeley, an Englishman, approached him, he was confused at first, but after careful investigation, he was overjoyed.

For him, it doesn't matter whether the capital comes from France or England, as long as it is capital.

What's more, this capital doesn't look weak!

The French Socialist Party he presides is quite short of funds.

Not to mention that the capital that threw him an olive branch has a very high achievement in the media field, and also has a certain media foundation in France. As long as the other party is willing to invest, it is not difficult to expand the media power in France.

Capitalists with both capital and media support are excellent partners.

Xia Yu's attitude has been initially clarified, and the foundation for cooperation has been laid, so it is time to introduce the topic in an in-depth direction.

Francois Mitterrand said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of me and your investment in France."

"But I am sixty-four years old, my two failed presidential bids have dealt a serious blow to my reputation, and the cooperation between the left-wing French G and our Socialist Party has also broken down. In the face of the RDR, we do not have an advantage, No matter how many ideas I have, I may not have the opportunity to implement them.”

After speaking, François Mitterrand touched himself and recalled the past of his struggles, his face was a little sad.

At the age of 28, he entered the special agency of Charles de Gaulle's provisional government and became one of the fifteen secretaries. At that time, he was a political star.

However, after the establishment of the official government, he did not get the corresponding ministerial position. In a fit of rage, he joined the left-wing Democratic Socialist Resistance Union. At the age of 30, he became a veteran appointed by the Prime Minister of the Fourth Republic, Paul Ramadie. Minister, becoming the youngest minister in France in the past 100 years.

He thought he could reach the top in his forties, but his fate was always unpredictable. Because of repeated political accidents, he lost both elections.

But he did not admit defeat. In the 1976 provincial council and municipal elections, he led the left-wing coalition to a huge victory, and he was accumulating the foundation for the 1981 general election.

But who knew that Fa G, one of the two major forces in the left-wing alliance, also had thoughts and competed with him, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, for leadership, and more and more contradictions arose on some issues of principle, and eventually the left-wing alliance broke down, resulting in The Socialist Party lost again in the 1978 parliamentary elections and lost part of its gains in 1976, which was not a big blow to him.

Because he is already six [shuquge quge.xyz] more than ten years old.

In the history of French politics, no one has ever won an election in their sixties.

The general election will resume next year, and this year he is 64 years old, and the Socialist Party has not re-formed an alliance with France G, one of the two major parties on the left, let alone a dozen other parties on the left. .

Relying on one of his socialist parties alone, he has no confidence to break through the siege.

His idea is also related to France's unique system, because France is very liberal in the establishment of political parties and elections. It is said that now, there are more than 30 large and small political parties in France, and there are no less than 100 various political clubs. , each of which is eligible to run for election.

Therefore, the general election in France is very uncertain, and no one can say which parties will suddenly unite and which parties will suddenly betray the alliance.

In general, the French government is formed by a multi-party coalition.

So he was actually hesitant to run for another election until George Berkeley approached him.

The two defeats have already caused him a huge loss of face. If he fails to participate in the election again, he will have no face to face the majority of voters in the Socialist Party he formed, and he can only withdraw from the political arena in embarrassment.

But not participating in the elections may be able to maintain their decency, while paving the way for the Socialist Party to continue, maybe in the future the Socialist Party will succeed in reaching the top.

Until now, he still hadn't made up his mind, but that didn't stop him from making early preparations.

Even if he really doesn't run for the election in the end and establishes a good relationship with Xia Yu, he can also accumulate information for the Socialist Party.

Politics is inseparable from capital. Meeting Xia Yu is a good thing without any harm. The only thing that can be said about the harm is that he needs to give Xia Yu some benefits after success.

But in a capitalist society, the exchange of political and capital interests is normal. The exchange object is not Xia Yu or someone else. For him, it makes no difference.

Closer to home.

Although Francois Mitterrand's tone was dejected, Xia Yu knew that he didn't really give up, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled all the way to see him secretly.

He didn't expose the veil, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Mitterrand, I have always believed in one sentence. This sentence also implements my life and will be the purpose I will pursue in the future."

Francois Mitterrand's brows became interested, and he asked, "What is it?"

"Everything is possible!"

Xia Yu said solemnly.

Francois Mitterrand frowned and gave Xia Yu a deep look, he could see the firmness in Xia Yu's eyes.

He seemed to be shocked, and nodded with emotion: "You are right, everything is possible."

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your teaching. I always thought so when I was young, but I don't know when, this sentence gradually faded in my mind."

Xia Yu couldn't continue with this, after all, François Mitterrand was an old man in his sixties.

He immediately changed the subject and said, "Mr. Mitterrand, I wonder if you have paid attention to the US election?"

The United States is not only one of the two two giants in the world, but also the head of NATO. Every move of the United States will have a huge impact on the world.

The President of the United States represents the will of the United States, and the U.S. presidential election is naturally watched by the world. As a qualified politician, François Mitterrand must pay attention to this matter.

The situation of the U.S. election appeared in his mind. François Mitterrand's expression moved, and he seemed to have guessed what Xia Yu wanted to say. He nodded and said, "Of course I am concerned."

Xia Yu continued with a smile: "Then you should know that Ronald Reagan has the upper hand, and he is now sixty-nine years old!"

"He was hesitant to run because of his age."

"And his background is not as good as yours."

"But by accident, I had a good chat with him for a week and gave him strong support after that."

Ronald Reagan's age was known to François Mitterrand, but what Xia Yu told later was an unknown secret.

Hearing this all of a sudden, François Mitterrand was shocked again, his eyes widened at Xia Yu, and he blurted out and asked, "Mr. Xia, have you supported Reagan?"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, his political views moved me, so I gave him the support of resources worth tens of millions of dollars."

"And his political views were embraced by David Rockefeller, and that's where he got here."

"I think your political views are no worse for France than his."

Xia Yu's last sentence was quite explicit.

Tens of millions of dollars in resources!

David Rockefeller!

The amount of information revealed in Xia Yu's few short sentences was too large, causing François Mitterrand to think a little down.

His mouth wriggled, but in the end he suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask any questions. He really didn't need to know some things, and knowing it would be troublesome.

Xia Yu can say, but he can't ask!

All he needs to know is that Xia Yu is indeed a golden thigh!

France is much smaller than the United States, let alone tens of millions of dollars in resources, if Xia Yu gave him 20 million dollars in resources, it would be enough to make a huge change in his socialist party.

If nothing else, at least it is more than enough to make the Socialist Party flourish in the early stage!

As long as the Socialist Party is out of the siege, he has the confidence to gain the support of other French consortia and big families, and there is a high probability that a virtuous circle will be formed.

At this moment, he feels that the throne of the president is not out of reach, and the dream he has been fighting for for decades may be realized!

Seeing the smile in Xia Yu's eyes, François Mitterrand was ruthless, and decisively chose to seize the opportunity to fight again.

If he doesn't win once, he will not be reconciled after all!
