Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

In his previous life, Bao Zixuan had lived in the UK for many years and had some understanding of British history. Even if he didn't understand it, he still had to know the development process of his company and the major events it had experienced.

After World War II, the center of the world economy began to shift to the United States. The British Empire was no longer as heroic as it once was, and its economy was in a precipitous decline. The British economy even suffered from the so-called "British disease"; economic growth was slow, pound crises were frequent, inflation and

Unemployment occurred concurrently, leading to a decline in the UK's economic strength.

In the 31 years from 1948 to 1979, the average annual growth rate of GDP was only 2.5%; far lower than that of Japan, West Germany, France and the United States. The proportion of industrial production in the capitalist world increased from 1948 to 2018.

It dropped from 10.2% to 4.3% in 1978; its share of world trade dropped from 12.4% to 6% during the same period.

In 1957, half of global trade was paid in pounds, but by 1977 it was only 20%; in the late 1950s, the pound accounted for one-third of the total monetary reserves of the capitalist world, but at the end of the 1970s it only accounted for a little more than 1%.

.

The Iron Lady really exerted her power in 1984, that is, this year. In her more than nine years in power, the British economy has improved greatly; it has achieved steady growth for eight consecutive years. The actual gross national product from 1981 to 1986

The average annual growth rate was 3%, reaching 4.5% in 1987, ranking first among Western countries; the highest since 1973.

The Iron Lady has achieved considerable results through a series of economic reforms. However, it is not easy to turn the situation around overnight. It is not easy for domestic companies in the UK to save themselves, let alone spend extra funds.

There is a problem. Introducing foreign investment is the best choice, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that investing in the UK at this time is no different than falling into a trap.

Of course the Iron Lady is well aware of the domestic situation in the UK, otherwise she would not have invited Bao Zixuan over to invest over and over again.

Although the British want Heiyun Group to invest in the past, the core industries and companies will never be sold. For example, the Rolls-Royce Engine Manufacturing Company where they worked in the previous life will not be sold to foreign companies under any circumstances.

Even if the Queen of England sells Buckingham Palace, she probably won’t sell this company, which shows its importance.

As for energy companies, the British government will not sell them. Compared with other industries, energy income is relatively stable, and there are currently no problems such as shortages of funds.

Counting and counting means that car companies may sell them. Although British cars are high-end, the production volume is really not flattering. Coupled with the backward marketing concept, the sales volume is a mess.

In the previous life, all British car brands were basically acquired by the Germans. From this time on, with the rise of the German and Japanese car industries, life for British car factories became very difficult. In this life, because of the sudden rise of Heiyun Motors

, for the British automobile industry, it is even worse.

As the most popular automobile company in the world today, it is also a Hong Kong company. In fact, it is funny to say that although Heiyun Automobile is registered in the United States, all countries including the United States believe that Heiyun Automobile belongs to Hong Kong.

Enterprise category.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the propaganda of well-intentioned people. After all, American companies will receive too much care. Now that they are directly designated as Hong Kong companies, they will naturally be excluded.

Youde said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is a well-known entrepreneur, and he is world-famous for his control of the economy. Today I would like to treat it as a chat between friends, and I would like to ask you privately what is ailing the British economy and how it needs to be adjusted."

"Although I am the Governor of Xiangjiang now, I will not work in this position for too long. You should know that I am a diplomat. My main task as the Governor of Xiangjiang is to negotiate with mainland China. The Xiangjiang issue will inevitably be solved. When the time comes,

My mission is over."

"Britain does not need too many diplomats now, but practical officials who understand economic development. If you don't want to return to the UK and take care of your retirement, you can only seek breakthroughs elsewhere."

"But I know how much I have, and I am not sensitive enough to control the economy. Taking office in Xiangjiang has allowed me to see opportunities. There are too many talented people in the economic field here. Please give me some face by asking for advice humbly!"

"Especially driven by the Heiyun Group, the entire Hong Kong economy is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye every year. In comparison, the UK lags far behind."

"The workers here are harder-working than those in the UK, and they never complain. Moreover, the wages are not as good as those in the UK, which is relatively low. Compared with the two, the UK is completely backward."

"Although Prime Minister Thatcher has made many achievements in economic development since taking office, if the root cause of the problem is not solved, everything will be in vain."

"I may be an expert in politics and diplomacy; but when it comes to planning and economic development, you are definitely an expert. In order to avoid unemployment when I return to the UK, I specially invited you to come and talk to me about your views on the British economy.

.”

Looking at the sincerity on the old man's face, he might have been sold to others in his previous life without even knowing it. In this life, Bao Zixuan has met too many politicians, so of course he knows the Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

But after all, Youde is also the governor of Xiangjiang. You must give him the face he deserves. This is the most basic matter of courtesy.

Bao Zixuan: "Originally I am not qualified to evaluate British economic policy. After all, the people who formulate it must know better than me the direction in which Britain should develop."

"Since His Excellency the Governor said it was a private communication, let me express my personal opinion."

"After the Second World War, the British welfare system as a whole is a welfare-oriented system that emphasizes government leadership. It has a prominent internal contradiction; that is, it overemphasizes the use of state power and safeguards the principle of equality. It has made the British economy and society as well as the people

Thoughts have been seriously distorted; especially the heavy financial burden has increasingly become a

It is a huge obstacle for the government to revive the economy. After the Thatcher government came to power, privatization became a fundamental idea and direction for the reform of the social welfare system. The reform mainly involves three aspects: housing, education, and social security systems. Among them, the housing privatization policy is the most successful;

The reform of the education system has received mixed praise and praise; the reform of the social security system has achieved little success."

"This is also the fundamental reason why Britain has changed a lot, but its economic development has not achieved the expected results."

Any middle school student who has lived in the UK or studied this period of history in his previous life will know it. But speaking out now is definitely something ahead of its time, which makes Yoder Cottage suddenly enlightened. At the same time, there is a strong crisis and worry. The young man in front of him is really

It's too scary.

If the other party does not understand the situation in the UK, it is impossible to analyze it so well.

When the question arises, it must be the result of comprehensive analysis based on multiple sources of information and information.

As expected, Bao Zixuan has planted commercial spies in the UK, or there are commercial spies cooperating with the Black Cloud Group. In fact, this is a normal thing. After all, the UK has also planted many intelligence agents around the world.

But Xiangjiang is just an overseas colony of the British Empire, and Bao Zixuan is just a businessman. He actually dared to plant a commercial spy in the UK. Who gave him the courage?

After all, Youde was a diplomat, and he had already reached the point where he could express his emotions and anger. Therefore, in Bao Zixuan's view, the old man did not behave in any special way. However, the old boy had already kept the matter in mind, and he must remind him if he had the opportunity.

Relevant domestic departments.

This also brought a lot of trouble to Heiyun Group's past acquisitions in the UK, which Bao Zixuan definitely did not expect. A simple show off added a lot of workload to Heiyun Group. He is still too young. Compared with these old foxes,

There is still too much difference.

Youde smiled and said: "It seems that I have asked the right person. If it were you, how should you solve these problems."

Bao Zixuan was constantly asking questions about Britain's economic problems. At this time, Bao Zixuan was also making assumptions. Could it be that this old boy really wanted to return to power in China? It was not impossible.

Now that I have said it, there is nothing to hide. Instead of procrastinating, it is better to be direct.

Let Youde see his sincerity, which is also a good thing.

Bao Zixuan: "Reduce some social security subsidy standards; reform some practices of the social security system to make it more reasonable. Change the universality principle of the social security system and implement the selectivity principle; promote the privatization of social security."

Although there are only a few simple answers, each sentence is on point. It seems that the Black Cloud Group is not only inserting spies into the UK, but is also seriously studying the British economy.

If this boy were British, with his talent, it would be impossible for the British Empire to rise here. But he belongs to Xiangjiang, a colony that will soon leave the British in more than ten years.

Youde had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
