You know, there are more than 20 teams participating in the World Cup, and the chance of winning the championship is one in 20.

With such a low probability and such a big bet, is this a case of panic because of too much money, or is the opponent really sure that Italy will win?

If Yang Chen manipulates the World Cup in secret, no one would believe it. After all, the opponent's rise has been too short, and most of the teams participating in the World Cup are from European and American countries.

As an Asian, Yang Chen is undoubtedly talking nonsense if he wants to control the World Cup.

The host of this World Cup is Spain. With the character of the Spaniards and the behavior of the Spanish government, it is difficult for even the major gambling giants to manipulate the game in secret.

They don't believe that an Asian can do something that even bookmakers can't do.

However, to say that the other party is lucky is a bit too lucky. It is conservatively estimated that there are already so many, and how much is the real gain.

You know, the British Intelligence Agency was able to find out, but it was only on the surface. No one knew how much money the other party invested in secretly.

Mrs. Thatcher: "Okay, let's end this matter. Now we only need to know that his wealth has entered the ranks of the world's super rich. He has enough funds on hand to participate in our second round of privatization."

plan.

I have invited him to have dinner at home in the evening. I will ask him what he thinks then. In short, I will try my best to persuade him to participate in the second round of investment. At the same time, you must be prepared to give a certain amount of investment within a reasonable range.

It's convenient, don't cause trouble for that little guy."

When many officials present heard Mrs. Thatcher's words, they all looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

As officials in the Prime Minister's Office, many of them actually do not want external capital to invest in state-owned enterprises that are about to be privatized.

As a native of Xiangjiang, Yang Chen is now a British citizen, but in the eyes of the British, people in all colonies are actually second-class citizens.

They are somewhat concerned about allowing a second-class citizen to invest in some important British companies, especially since the Hong Kong issue is currently unclear and the other party may not be British in the blink of an eye.

This is also where many people have concerns.

Of course, some people understand Mrs. Thatcher's approach. Super rich people like Yang Chen who hold huge amounts of cash will actively woo them in any country.

If the second round of privatization can involve the participation of a super rich man like Yang Chen, then the British government will surely benefit.

Mrs. Thatcher raised her hand to stop the debate and said: "I don't think I need to explain to you the current economic development situation in the country. Although the victory of the Falklands War has improved the domestic economy to a certain extent, at the same time,

It also allowed us to gain support from the general public.

But judging from the current problems, the situation is still very serious. We still need to speed up the pace of reform. If we delay here for one day, the domestic economy will get worse and worse.

I know that some of you want to protect the interests of the British consortium, but I must tell you clearly that the greed of capitalists will not change anything because of their identity and nationality.

In the first round of privatization, you also saw what our consortiums did? They tried their best to lower the value of state-owned enterprises, and many people even did not hesitate to join forces to put pressure on the government.

Some people are too greedy. If capital outside the UK is not allowed to participate, we must sell state-owned enterprises at a low price, otherwise our reforms will not achieve the expected results."

Mrs. Thatcher's words left the ministers here speechless, because what Mrs. Thatcher said was true, and those financial groups were too greedy.

They have never considered the interests of the country. Everyone is bent on exchanging high profit returns at low prices. The reason why many local British consortiums do not take action is not only because they are worried that Mrs. Thatcher will not be re-elected next year, but also in a country where

Just waiting for the government to give them greater benefits when they can no longer hold on.

Obviously, Mrs. Thatcher did not want to give in, because once she gave in, the subsequent reforms would inevitably harm the national interests. As the first industrial country, Britain's huge industrial output value, even if it loses a penny, would be very terrifying.

of numbers.

After looking around, Mrs. Thatcher continued: "Now, we need him to invest in us. Even if we cannot bring in most of his funds, we must not allow large-scale outflows of domestic capital.

At the same time, we must also let the domestic financial groups understand one thing, that is, the government will not allow anyone to coerce the government under any circumstances, and we must let them understand that even without their support, the government can still promote reforms."

"As for your worries about foreign capital controlling the domestic economy, I think this is a bit unnecessary. Foreign capital is different from local consortiums, and they do not have the political advantages of local consortiums.

Even if foreign capital controls the domestic economy, their goal is only to make money. Beyond making money, an administrative order can easily solve the problem."

Mrs. Thatcher was right about this. Compared with local consortiums, foreign capital is actually better managed.

Local consortiums may involve a lot of interest forces if they make any moves. However, since foreign capital has no local advantages, in addition to making money, their life and death are actually in the hands of the government.

Young people are most eager for quick success and instant gain. No one can change this. The reason why Mrs. Thatcher said so much to everyone in person was to warn the people below not to set up obstacles for Yang Chen and deliberately cause trouble for others.

Although the British privatization plan is very attractive, given the current social environment in the UK, many foreign investors are still hesitant and waiting for the opportunity.

In particular, Mrs. Thatcher's term is coming to an end. No one knows whether Mrs. Thatcher will have a chance to be re-elected next year. Although the victory in the Falklands War has given Mrs. Thatcher a high reputation.

But don’t forget that Mrs. Thatcher’s reforms targeted the working class and middle class, the largest groups in the UK. These two groups have the largest number of votes in the UK.

Mrs. Thatcher's reforms destroyed many people's jobs at once, and a large number of laid-off workers did not have a good impression of Mrs. Thatcher.
