Chapter 915
on the way back
Yang Chen sat in the car without saying a word.
Quietly thinking about today's events
Yang Chen didn't feel any embarrassment about the British royal family asking him to help invest.
With the extra decades of memory, as long as he is not greedy, he can definitely be 'stable' all the way to the end like many veteran drivers.
The only thing he needs to consider is whether he can really tie the giant Buddha of the British royal family to his big ship.
Unlike other people or forces, the British royal family cannot be sustained by pure interests. Compared with interests, the British royal family has too many things to consider.
Since World War II, the economies of Europe and the United States have gradually recovered, and the media and entertainment industry has played an increasingly important role in elections, so that the right to speak and status in society have continued to increase. Sometimes the so-called freedom of speech has become a talisman for media personnel to a certain extent.
.
Whether they are members of the royal family or high-ranking political officials, they are generally unwilling to provoke them.
Due to the special status of the British royal family, any topic related to the royal family and every move of the royal family members are subject to the attention and interpretation of many media.
Although in some cases, under the banner of the British royal family, it may be possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort, but from the current point of view, for Yang Chen's subsequent development, the advantages of being close to the British royal family outweigh the disadvantages.
What Yang Chen lacks most now is not funds, nor time, but a backer that he can temporarily borrow from, a force that can help his companies expand smoothly.
Nowadays, most of his companies are still in the initial stage of expansion. The various troubles may be smaller in Asia, but it is difficult to say outside Asia.
Therefore, he needs a force to protect his companies and allow them to go out smoothly.
Don't think that you can do anything if you have money.
After the rise of the inland economy in later generations, most companies faced many difficulties in overseas expansion, and various resistances emerged one after another.
why is that?
Is it because inland enterprises don’t have enough money?
Or is it because the product cannot compete with others?
It turns out that these are not the main reasons.
The most important point is that the mainland's international influence is not enough. Since the industrial age, only two countries have truly achieved global trade and allowed their domestic companies to spread all over the world.
The first is the earliest British
During the early period when Britain dominated the world for more than a century, British companies followed the British warships and spread to every country in the world, and no one dared to turn them away.
The second is the United States
After World War I, World War II and the Cold War, the United States' international influence reached its peak. With this influence, American companies also spread to every country around the world.
With the exception of the United Kingdom and the United States, companies from other countries will encounter more or less resistance when developing overseas.
Some of these boycotts come from the bottom and belong to the category of commercial competition, while some come from government restrictions in other countries and belong to the political category.
Business competition is ubiquitous. Yang Chen is not afraid of this. Now he is cooperating more and more closely with HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. In terms of business, he is not alone.
But when it comes to the political level, it is not just money that can solve the problem.
This needs to be solved at the government level, and before Xiangjiang returns, overseas, he can only rely on the help of the British government.
He values the British royal family more than the British government.
The British royal family seems to be dispensable, but it plays an irreplaceable role for Britain.
Let’s not talk about other things for now, let’s talk about the Commonwealth.
The key to the Commonwealth system lies with the British royal family, not the British government.
As early as World War I, the British government had gradually lost its control over the colonies. It was not until the end of World War II that the early British colonies became independent one after another.
After these colonies established their independence, they did not go to war with Britain. Instead, they adopted a peaceful and independent approach. They chose independence in a practical sense as a compromise, but they still nominally respected the Queen of England as Queen.
This is somewhat similar to the European Union created by European countries in later generations. The Queen is equivalent to the President of the European Union and the nominal head of the family.
There are more than 50 countries in the Commonwealth, covering Europe, Asia, North America, Africa and Oceania.
There are Commonwealth members on all five continents, and the entire Commonwealth has a population of nearly two billion, of which Canada, Australia, India, and New Zealand are all members of the Commonwealth.
In these Commonwealth member states, although the name of the British royal family cannot allow people to do whatever they want, it is definitely a key that can open channels in these Commonwealth member states and at the same time avoid unnecessary troubles.
Regarding the British Aerospace Corporation's arms sales, he personally interviewed Mrs. Thatcher and did not let her relent. However, after the British royal family came forward, the Iron Lady finally gave in.
From this point, Yang Chen has seen the role and influence of the British royal family. If he can get the full support of the British royal family, it will play a very big role in his future development.
In later generations, several American grain merchants controlled the global grain market. Among the four major grain merchants, Louis Dreyfus belonged to a French company, and the backer behind it was undoubtedly the French government.
Since the French company Louis Dreyfus can gain a share of the world grain market with the support of the French government, then if it has the support of the British royal family, it will definitely be able to enter the grain and oil market and share the cake with the four major grain merchants.
When Yang Chen was setting up the group before, he deliberately left out grain and oil because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the four major grain merchants.
After cooperating with HSBC, Yang Chen has already launched plans in Southeast Asia and Australia. It won't be long before his grain and oil group will be officially established.
The four major grain merchants will definitely take action by then, so he needs strong support. Preparing for a rainy day is a prerequisite for success. Only by making adequate preparations can he cope with the troubles he may face next.
The British royal family is a great help.
"Yufei, don't go to work tomorrow, stay at home and help me prepare. I want to invite Prince Charles and Princess Diana to my house for dinner."
"Press?" Xue Yufei looked at Yang Chen in confusion. She remembered that when she just left, Prince Charles stated that he would fly back to the UK tomorrow.
Without waiting for Xue Yufei to ask
Yang Chen has already taken the phone from Jun Zi.
"Hey, put me on Prince Charles's phone."
…
"Prince, I have something to discuss with you tomorrow. Your trip may need to be postponed."
"Come to my house and I'll treat you to authentic Cantonese food."
"Okay, then we have an agreement."
