    "Naturally, a chaotic Europe is more beneficial to China." Zhong Shi said without hesitation, "It is not only beneficial to China, but also to the United States."  It is for this reason that the United States will trigger the European debt crisis in order to disrupt the situation in Europe and make capital prefer the United States. "As the two poles of the world, the competition between the United States and Europe is comprehensive and multi-faceted.  From cars to airplanes, from oil to arms, the two sides have formed a direct competitive relationship in every corner of the world.  But unlike the United States, which is united as one, the EU has huge differences in history, culture, and political demands. Some differences may never be bridged.  After all, they are currently just an economic community and have not eliminated the borders between countries.  This gives others room to operate.  "Yes, that's the truth." The director nodded with satisfaction, "If Europe falls behind in direct competition with the United States, then they will be more dependent on the rising new poles of the world, such as us. In this way  Under such circumstances, we can put forward more conditions for our own development. "In the all-round collision, the United States and Europe have at least one thing in common, that is, they are both guarding against the new forces in the world.  Rise up and don¡¯t want another competitor to divide the current market.  While the two sides are competing, they also have a tacit understanding to suppress emerging forces such as China, Brazil, and India.  If China wants to destroy this pattern, it must divide it one by one. Compared with the monolithic United States, Europe is obviously a better choice.  "By the way, an old friend of yours will be here soon." He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and the leader suddenly said, "He is planning something recently, which coincides with our plan. But let me declare in advance  "This is not our premeditation, but a coincidence." "My old friend?" Zhong Shi touched his chin and said, "Except for Mr. Li Jiacheng, I really can't think of anyone else.  Who is there?" Having said this, he was suddenly startled, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. Li Jiacheng's buying behavior in the UK would not be part of the current national strategy, right?  When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look up and peek at the man in front of him, only to see that the other man was looking at him with burning eyes, his expression half-smiling but not smiling, as if he knew what he was thinking.  "Sorry, I'm late." Fortunately, this situation did not last long. A cheerful voice came from outside the door. Li Xiaojia pushed the door open and apologized to everyone, "I'm really sorry, the traffic jam is serious.  , I was a few minutes late." Li Xiaojia, CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.  A reading? ???¡¤1?kanshu¡¤From this point of view, he is indeed an old friend of Zhong Shi.  "Don't worry about these few minutes." The chief waved his hand casually, motioning for Li Xiaojia to sit down opposite him, and said, "I just talked to Zhong Shi, and he hasn't made a decision yet. Let's do this, Xiaojia, tell him  Tell me your plans and plans." "Okay, sir." Li Xiaojia nodded, patted Zhong Shi's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Hi, Zhong Sheng, long time no see. I heard that you had an accident some time ago.  , is it okay?" He was trying to show his good will to bring the relationship closer.  "It's okay." Zhong Shi said lightly, "Thank you for your concern, it's just a small matter." Seeing that Zhong Shi was unwilling to mention it again, Li Xiaojia did not continue on this matter, and immediately cleared his throat and said loudly:  "The whole thing is like this. After the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, the global market's demand for heavy metals has reached a sluggish stage, but there is only one market exception, and that is China." "Currently, China consumes copper  , aluminum, iron, tin and other materials all account for more than 30% of global consumption. Even copper consumption accounts for half of the world. In this case, the price of market supply and demand should be determined by China. But it is a pity.  What's interesting is that the global pricing power of metals is currently in the hands of LME, the London Metal Exchange. This means that China, which consumes more than 30% of the world's metals, has no say in metal pricing, so we have no say.  We are thinking of acquiring LME to increase our say in these matters. " "In addition, if the acquisition of LME is successful, we can also build large warehouses in Suhai, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places to directly conduct offshore delivery.  This greatly reduces the current transportation costs from other LME warehouses. This is particularly important for China with Daxing infrastructure  " "The most important point is that we agree that China's future development prospects and lme based on it are quite profitable, so we have the idea of ????acquisition.  At present, the board of directors has been persuaded by me, and the remaining issue is to raise capital.  " After saying this in one breath, Li Xiaojia explained embarrassedly, "It's a coincidence. Later I learned that the country had such a strategic plan, which coincided with our business behavior, so I joined in.  "    "well said!  " He smiled and nodded, but with a straight face, he said seriously, "Strictly speaking, this is not our strategy.  Whether we leave the EU or not does not depend on us, but on the British people's own choice.  These are normal and reasonable business practices on our part, and there is no conspiracy theory involved.  You two must remember this.  " "If the UK really leaves the EU, the pound exchange rate will fluctuate a lot. I believe based on your sense of smell, there should be many good opportunities to make money.  " He glanced at Zhong Shi meaningfully and continued, "Of course, if you refuse, it is understandable.  After all, in terms of this matter alone, whether we participate or not has little to do with the final result. It mainly depends on the game between the British people and the EU.  " His words immediately made Zhong Shi feel a little bit confused. "I'll join!  " Zhong Shi immediately said without thinking, "Even from the perspective of profit, I shouldn't miss such a thing.  Some people say that I am a profit-seeking businessman, so I should simply be a profit-seeking businessman.  " After talking to this point, Zhong Shi had no reason to refuse, whether it was for public motives or personal gain. After thinking about it for a while, he happily agreed. "That would be great, if Tianyu Fund intervenes  , it won¡¯t be a problem for us to bid.  " Li Xiaojia was very excited about Zhong Shi's statement. He clapped his hands and said, "In this case, we will be more confident about eating lme.  " The biggest problem currently plaguing the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is funding, because it is not just the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that is coveting lme. Although the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is the second largest exchange in the world, its own profitability is not very strong. If there are companies with strong funds  If Tianyu Fund joins, then the whole transaction is basically a sure thing. ¡°Okay, I believe that the two of you will be able to solve the problem together.  "The director looked at the two of them with a smile and picked up the tea cup. The two of them stood up and left knowingly. "I said, President Li, you are relatively familiar with the UK. Why did you suddenly think of being involved in this muddy water?  " On the way back, Zhong Shi and Li Xiaojia were sitting in the same car. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Naturally, they had a lot to say. Zhong Shi was the first to speak, "Also, what do you think of the prospect of Brexit this time?  Sample?  Where should we start first?  " " Let's do it?  " Li Xiaojia stared at Zhong Shi with wide eyes and said with a strange expression, "Zhong Sheng, we are just businessmen, not spies.  As the director said, we are only doing business and we will not do anything illegal or criminal.  " "As for the UK, I conducted an on-site inspection last month and the situation is very serious.  " Speaking of this, he looked solemn, "Except for London and nearby satellite cities, basically no one in other old industrial areas supports the UK's continued membership in the EU.  Let me tell you a true story. A coal miner in the Bolton area can only receive a few thousand pounds of government benefits every month. In addition to food and clothing, this money also has to be used to pay rent.  Some new immigrants from Eastern Europe, because of policy support, can get this amount every month without doing anything, and all other expenses are covered by the government.  " "This is a real case in the UK. Those who have fought for the British Empire their whole lives are worse than an illegal immigrant at the end of their career.  Do you think this system is ridiculous? What do you think they will think?  ¡°The British political elite have benefited too much from free trade with Europe. This benefit makes them firmly stand on the side of continuing the European Union.  But for the middle and lower classes of society, the benefits brought by this liberalized trade are very small, and they are even the group that suffers the most harm, forming extreme polarization.  " "In a normal society, there are fewer such poor and wealthy people. We all know that the poor cannot be saved. There are poor people under any circumstances. As long as society can maintain normal circulation, people will change.  Just hope for fate.  But this time the problem in the UK is too serious. In order to deal with illegal immigrants and Eastern European workers, the British government has targeted the largest middle class and accelerated?Their tax burden is used to subsidize the outsiders.  In doing so, they inevitably offend the middle class, who are the ones who really decide the direction of the election.  ¡± ¡°So I think the UK will definitely leave the EU.  " At the end of the sentence, Li Xiaojia was already a little bit sad, "The debate about whether to stay in the EU has been going on for decades, but it has only worsened in recent years.  Although this is a step backwards in eliminating national borders and integrating nationalities, the cost of this simple and simple desire should not be borne by their taxpayers. After all, these people are citizens of this country.  " "Is there such a thing?  " Hearing Li Xiaojia's words, Zhong Shi was shocked. He is not a nationalist or a racist. He has an open attitude towards outsiders or immigrants. After all, these people will never touch his class, but he  I never imagined that the middle and lower classes, whose living space has been squeezed by outsiders, have reached this level of poverty. ¡°No one cares about them, no one.  " Li Xiaojia sighed, shook his head slightly, feeling a little dazed, "Those high-sounding newspapers laughed at them one by one for their low vision and ignorance of the benefits of internationalization.  They are aloof, they have the right to speak, they are well-dressed, they look like dogs, but they just won't go down and see for themselves.  Once such a topic is brought up publicly, these people will be labeled as nationalists and racists, so that no one dares to talk about this topic publicly at all.  " "This is indeed in line with the old saying in our country, the wine and meat in the rich family are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death.  " When he said this, he reluctantly cheered up, "But fortunately these countries have a self-correction mechanism.  As long as a similar general election is passed, the current interest groups can be wiped out.  I think the current British government does not have much time to stay on stage.  " Zhong Shi didn't say anything more, but gently knocked the handle and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
