Chapter 878 Huge Scale

But at this time, Barron came to Paris.

On November 25, Ashley Weber gave birth to a boy in Paris, who they eventually named Victor Weber.

Well, it is worth mentioning that Ashley initially preferred the name Pène, but Barron rejected it. After all, if it was Pan Weber... OMG!

After completing the acquisition of Commerzbank, Ashley finally rested in Paris with peace of mind and gave birth to her child.

After all, Paris is not far from London, and Barron can also spend some time with their mother and son here.

Until December 10, Barron temporarily left Paris.

"I want to spend more time with you, but this matter is very important. I will come to see you after I come back, which should not take more than a week..."

"I understand, my dear, don't worry."

The reason why Barron needs to leave at this time is because he will go to China with Cameron.

In the original time and space, Cameron led a delegation to visit China a year later, in December 2013.

However, for some reasons, he moved forward this visit to China - one of the reasons is naturally the pressure exerted by the United States on the London Stock Exchange's LIBOR formulation.

Of course, there is also Barron’s push behind this...

Especially after Oguan Hai's trip to Southeast Asia, when the United States proposed a rebalancing strategy to the Asia-Pacific, Cameron's trip will indicate increased cooperation with China and will also convey a message to Washington - if the pressure on Britain is too tight, then Britain and the EU still have other options, at least economically.

After all, although the United States had a "Rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific" strategy militarily and politically at this time, it still had to cooperate with China to a certain extent economically, and it did not reach the level of tension later.

Before going to China, Cameron had already warmed up for this trip...

On December 3, Cameron came to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London to visit a special exhibition of famous ancient Chinese paintings.

Relying on the residual memory of the art history he studied in high school more than 30 years ago, Cameron was full of praise for Song Huizong's "Ruihe Tu" and said:

"This predates Leonardo's work by hundreds of years."

He also met with British students studying Chinese language at No. 10 Downing Street and encouraged them to learn Chinese well...

In addition, he even opened a Weibo account and posted his first message:

"Hello friends from China, I am very happy to join Weibo. I look forward to visiting China soon!"

This Weibo account named "British Prime Minister" attracted more than 120,000 "fans" in just one day after it was opened.

And because the account did not have real-name authentication, that is, "add V", it was even considered to be fake...

In fact, in the original time and space, another reason why Cameron only visited the East for the second time in 2013 was that in 2012, he met with a certain magician, and the relationship between the two parties fell to a freezing point.

In this time and space, Barron would naturally not allow this to happen:

"Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you think carefully. If you insist on going to see him, you will see reports about the cruel serfdom in a certain place before 1951 in some newspapers and TV programs the next day. I believe the British people will understand these truths. Very interested, I think you don’t want to be in such an embarrassing situation.”

So Barron sometimes looks down on these politicians very much. Britain has become so fucked up that he doesn't want to make more benefits, but he still does these things all day long...

Let’s not mention what happened before. The people don’t know about the bad things that magician did in Europe and the United States. You, as the Prime Minister of England, don’t know about it.

For this reason, Britain does not need to wait until a year before starting to mend relations with China.

…

On December 10, Cameron landed at Yanjing Airport on a special plane and started his visit to China.

This time when he came to China, Cameron was accompanied by a large business team of about 150 people. This also exceeded the scale of his last visit and became the largest official delegation in British history.

Barron did not come on the same plane as Cameron, but landed on the Devonshire in a relatively low-key manner, and did not even appear in front of the welcoming crowd.

After all, this was Cameron's visit. He was so handsome, so he couldn't steal Cameron's limelight.

But afterwards, Barron also received a special interview, and the atmosphere was still very good. After all, the two parties had met in Jiangsu and Zhejiang very early on.

The reason why he received so much attention was because this time there were a considerable number of members of the British business delegation who had connections with Barron.

Including United Energy Group, O2 Telecom, SEM Group, LOMX Group, Argos Retail Group, Woaw Technology, Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch Group, GHL Group, British Automotive Group, etc., more than ten heavyweight CEOs in the delegation can be called They are Barron's "subordinates", accounting for more than one-tenth of the delegation, which can be said to be huge.

And before that, his investment scale in China was the largest in the entire West.

And this time the cooperation reached by the two parties, the scale of the industry involved in Barron's will also exceed 5 billion pounds, involving energy, communications, finance, media, automobiles, the Internet and other fields - in the original time and space, only the two parties The £120 million health care agreement has been widely reported by the media...

More importantly, unlike many other foreign investors, Barron's investments in China have always been very sincere. Before this, it had always been regarded as an "old friend of the Chinese people", so it received such attention. It's also very normal.

"China's development is obvious to all. It has been more than ten years since I first came to China. It can be said that I have never seen any country develop at such a rapid pace. I think China will be the The most important player in the world, no investor should miss this process. I am very fortunate and proud that I have also participated in the development of China and witnessed the Chinese people walking on the road of reviving this ancient and strong civilization. superior……"

"Now Huaxia is no longer just the 'world's factory', but has made breakthroughs and innovations in many technical fields. We help Huaxia companies sell goods to Europe and the United States, from the initial clothing and shoes to now home appliances, mobile phones, and new energy. Batteries and other technological products, this also illustrates China's progress in all aspects. Next, I will increase investment in China, especially in cooperation with China's technical experts in some fields such as new energy, telecommunications, chips and artificial intelligence. I hope that Able to jointly lead global technological innovation..."
