Rebirth of England.
Chapter 883 Getting stronger with old age
Of course, thanks to Barron's changes, England is now somewhat different from its previous life.
Not to mention the financial industry - although Barron's main profit-making business is financial investment, London has always been the world's financial center in his previous life. Even under various pressures from the United States, it can still compete with New York in the financial industry.
And in some aspects, such as foreign exchange market and settlement market, it is still stronger than New York.
As for manufacturing, although some of the industries controlled by Barron have investments in China, those transferred are manufacturing industries that are not top-notch in terms of technology (of course, even so, such manufacturing industries are still difficult for more than 80% of the countries in the world to possess compared with the high-tech industries in Europe and the United States). The most cutting-edge industries, such as luxury cars, chips, communication technology and other industries, are still retained in the UK.
This is a great improvement compared to the original time and space in England, where related industries were acquired by other European and American companies and industries began to transfer.
You have to know that under the system in Europe and the United States, no matter what political party or members of Congress, their political demands are supported by relevant capital behind them.
To put it bluntly, in Britain, Eurosceptics and pro-Europolists are essentially driven by capital with relevant interests behind them. For example, in the original time and space, Britain's manufacturing industry was very small compared to other European countries such as France and Germany, and the most important industries in Britain were finance and services.
As for the negotiations with China, a very important trading partner of Europe, the content of the agreement between the two sides, France and Germany, as the leading countries of the European Union, first considered the terms of interest of the manufacturing industry, which is very uncomfortable for Britain.
Because Britain can make money from China in the financial and service industries, but this is not in the interests of other EU countries, the focus of the negotiations on relevant agreements between the two sides will inevitably be on manufacturing, which will harm Britain's interests - just like in Barron's previous life, the EU's barriers to electric vehicles against China, which is very important for major automobile producing countries such as France and Germany, as well as other EU countries that have many related industrial supporting facilities.
But this was simply unnecessary for Britain, whose domestic automobile industry was already sluggish at the time - so at that time Britain was a country that was relatively open to Chinese electric vehicles.
The demands of these capitals or industries also represent the demands of the "financial backers" of those MPs. When reflected in British politics, the power of Eurosceptics will naturally increase.
However, Britain is not without the need for manufacturing and exports. Therefore, it can only be said that although the Eurosceptics within the Conservative Party are gradually becoming the mainstream, the attitude of the Labour Party is still mainly pro-European. When Blair was in office, he actively promoted the integration of Britain and the European Union, while Brown's "Eurosceptics" are still mainly concentrated in the financial field. After all, he was a chancellor of the exchequer and attached great importance to Britain's financial status.
Barron hopes to change the final outcome of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union. In addition to financially supporting some pro-European organizations' propaganda to the public, more importantly, he hopes to expand the strength of Britain's manufacturing industry so that Britain can pursue its interests in this regard, at least without deviating from the EU.
Of course, if Cameron still threatens to hold a Brexit referendum if he is re-elected before the next general election, Barron would not mind using any means to push the Labour Party to victory. After all, he still maintains contact with the Labour Party. The head of the Prosperous Earth Foundation is the brother of the current Labour Party leader, and he still has a close relationship with Brown.
……
Christmas is approaching again, and Barron and his family are planning to leave for Lanai after Christmas - they have also invited Prince William and Princess Cather and her family. Cather had just given birth and was originally planning to go to her estate in Scotland to recuperate, but the climate on Lanai is more pleasant than in England, so William accepted the invitation.
The reason they chose to leave after Christmas was because they spent last year's Christmas on Lanai. Although the climate there is warm, the snowy scene makes Christmas more festive.
……
"I always think that only fuel cars are for men. The sound of the engine makes people excited. Electric cars have to use speakers to play sounds, just like sissies wearing fake beards!"
Barron was at the Regent's Park mansion where he met with Tamarane Ecclestone's family.
F1 Group chief executive Bernie Ecclestone told Barron.
What he was talking about was the electric sports car race held in England this year. Bernie didn't seem to be interested in electric cars.
“But you can’t deny that electric cars are going to be a trend, Dad.”
Tamaran's job involves car reviews. She was sitting on the side of the sofa, reading a market magazine in her hand. When she heard the words near her, she couldn't help but speak.
"Even if electric cars develop well, they will not replace fuel cars in the field of racing, because the most attractive part of racing, in addition to the constantly improving engine technology, is the driving skills of the drivers. Those top drivers have developed this into an art, but electric cars..."
Bernie shook his head:
“There’s always something missing.”
It is worth mentioning that this year, Bernie started his third marriage. The 82-year-old Bernie married the 35-year-old supermodel Fabiana - his young wife is 7 years older than Tamaran, but 21 years younger than Bernie's eldest daughter...
Of course, this is not the most outrageous thing, because Barron knows that in the previous life, Fabiana gave birth to Bernie's first son when he was nearly 89 years old...
At that time, Bernie's eldest daughter was already 65 years old!
Barron couldn't help but sigh that old guy Bernie is really... still strong and healthy.
Speaking of which, since buying the F1 Group, Baron has rarely paid attention to this company, but occasionally sees some relevant data from the documents sorted out by his assistant.
In addition, the British Motor Group currently owns two F1 teams, namely Aston Martin and McLaren.
After Aston Martin's return to the F1 arena, its performance can only be said to be acceptable, but the McLaren team has always performed well.
Bernie is very satisfied with Barron's "decentralization". Although he is over 1 years old, he is still obsessed with F events. It seems that he really loves this sport.
