Chapter 879 Favorability UP

Cameron's schedule was quite tight. He only stayed in Yanjing for one day and had an important meeting before heading to his next destination - Shanghai.

As the economic center of China, the Magic City is naturally the most important thing for Cameron to do when he comes here. Well, in Chinese terms, it is "attracting investment."

In Shanghai, Cameron met with many well-known Chinese business people, including Alibaba’s boss Ma. Cameron hoped that more British companies could sell their products on Alibaba’s Tmall mall. product.

During his trip to the capital, Cameron participated in many business activities. He called the partnership with China an "indispensable" partnership.

However, Barron did not go to the Magic City with Cameron. After all, the purpose of his trip was not only to continue to deepen the relationship with China, but also to show his "old friend" that he was firmly optimistic about China. .

To be honest, although often those European and American business leaders, for the sake of the Chinese market, will often put on the mask of "sincerity and friendliness" after coming to China and speak extremely highly of them - as for after leaving China, in the European and American media and governments I can probably imagine what kind of attitude he has in front of him.

"It makes money, it's not shabby..."

But Barron is different. He sincerely hopes that China can be revived - this is not because his soul in his previous life came from China, at least not the main reason.

The main reason is because of his current status. If he wants to maintain the relative security of his industry, he needs to rely on the European market. However, to prevent the European market from being controlled by American Jewish capital, Europe needs to have a certain degree of autonomy. Then The status quo in which the United States is a dominant nation and behaves in a domineering manner must be broken.

Only if China's strength can contain the United States can Barron feel that his industry is relatively safe.

And it is also because Barron came from China in his previous life, and he does not have the preconceived prejudices about China that many Europeans and Americans do - compared with the United States, China is more pragmatic. As long as investment in China is not done in any way, then the Chinese people I also prefer to do business with you and make money, rather than like the United States, which always grabs your pigtails and takes advantage of you...

"May I ask, Your Highness the Duke, as a successful investor, I can see that you have invested in many successful companies, such as Woaw, Skype and other companies. I wonder how you choose the companies to invest in?"

"This is a good question. I am very lucky. The companies I invest in are basically doing well. Everyone has their own way of investing. In my opinion, the most important thing is to invest in areas with development prospects and choose The most powerful one among them is that I have invested in many Chinese companies, including Alibaba, Penguin and Baidu, mainly because I am very optimistic about the development of China. The first time I came to China was ten years ago. At that time, I went to Many cities in China, including Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Yanjing, what I saw and heard at that time gave me a great impact. At that time, I concluded that this would be the fastest growing place in the world with the most potential. I couldn't miss the development of China, so I made a series of investments. Up to now, I am very happy with my decision and still stick to my judgment. "

Just when Cameron went to Shanghai, Barron was invited to Yanda and gave a speech here.

The scene where he gave his speech was crowded with students and teachers from Yanda and many surrounding universities. This young British Duke, who was extremely wealthy and had a distinguished family background, had a handsome face, a personable image, and his fluent Chinese. , all left a deep impression on the audience.

During the question and answer session after the speech, everyone was very active.

"Can you tell me why you are so optimistic about China's development? Your Highness the Duke."

"I personally like Chinese culture and Chinese food very much... China has a long and magnificent history of five thousand years. Of the four major ancient civilizations in the world, only the Chinese civilization can remain viable to this day..."

Barron said seriously:

"I know that in the past 100 years or so, China has lagged behind Western civilization for a while, but if we take a longer view, for almost most of its 5,000-year history, China has been at the forefront of the world stage. Center, compared with the history of China, these more than one hundred years are just a blink of an eye. Napoleon called China the sleeping lion of the East. Well, to be precise, he just took a nap and then returned to China again. The center of the world stage - just like when I first came to China, I was amazed at the rapid development of this country. When I looked for the reasons for this, the diligence and unity of the Chinese people impressed me the most. Yes, I have been to many countries, and only in China can I have such an impressive feeling. Then such a country and people will inevitably develop rapidly and walk on the road of greatness..."

His speech and the subsequent question and answer session can be said to have created a wave of goodwill in China. After all, at this time, China was developing rapidly after joining the WTO, and at the same time, it also needed the world's recognition.

As the world's most successful entrepreneur and investor, and as the Duke of England, Barron's recognition and praise will naturally gain China's favor.

And he is not just talking, but has invested a lot of real money in China. He is one of the largest European and American entrepreneurs in China. This also shows that his words are not just simple verbal compliments, but sincere recognition.

On the same day, Barron also received an honorary doctorate from Yanda, and he naturally accepted it with pleasure.

As early as 2007, Bill Gates, the "world's richest man", gave a speech at Shuimu and received an honorary doctorate from Shuimu.

Now Yanda has awarded Barron an honorary doctorate, which is no less impressive than Shuimu and Bill Gates for both parties...

After Cameron and Barron generously released their goodwill, Britain and China have entered a honeymoon period for a while, and the relationship between the two sides, both official and private, has rapidly warmed up.

And the results of the cooperation between the two sides are also very fruitful.

The London Stock Exchange and the Magic Exchange have reached an agreement on in-depth cooperation between the two parties and are preparing to open the "Mo-Lun Link", which means that the listed companies of the London Stock Exchange and the Magic Exchange can issue corresponding depositary receipts in each other, so as to reach a trading agreement with each other on part of each other's stocks.

Of course, the first phase of "Mo-Lun Link" temporarily only involves the trading of depositary receipts corresponding to the listed stocks of the other party, and does not involve financing, but if "Mo-Lun Link" can operate well, it is also expected that each party will increase the financing services for the listed companies of the other party.

In addition, the LOMX Group will also increase its support for offshore Chinese currency transactions, and strive to make London the world's largest offshore Chinese currency trading center, which is also of great significance to the internationalization of Chinese currency.

London can also attract more financial business from China, thereby expanding the scale of their financial business and stabilizing London's position as a global financial center.
