Chapter 1071 The Rohir Family Is Alert
The influence of the United Kingdom in the world determines the upper limit of the influence and strength of these big British families in the world.
For these nobles, of course, they hope that the stronger Britain is, the better.
But now is not a hundred years ago, the myth of the Empire on which the sun never sets has long been shattered.
Especially in the past 20 or 30 years, with the independence of the British colonies and the establishment of the country, the influence of Britain abroad has plummeted, and its prestige has also declined.
Although the vast majority of these independent countries also joined the British-led Commonwealth organization, with the loss of various rights, the United Kingdom has struggled to be the leader.
People are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!
The rise of local capital in various countries and the capital invasion of the United States have also continuously eroded the interests that originally belonged to British capital.
Although Xiangjiang is a leased land, the situation is the most obvious. The original four major British-owned consortiums have been killed by Xia Yu, and the remaining one is still lingering.
The Howard family's interests outside the UK are dwindling.
And the Howard family is still a royalist party since ancient times, and Duke Carter Howard is absolutely unwilling to see the British influence plummet again.
And with what he knew about Xia Yu, Xia Yu didn't need to, nor would he lie to him.
Thinking about it carefully, Xia Yu said that he had to be more careful and more careful!
After a long silence, although he felt that Xia Yu would not tell him, Carter Howard still wanted to give it a try.
It's just that Xia Yu didn't want Duke Carter Howard to ask questions. After all, no matter what he said or not, the result was not what he wanted.
So seeing that Duke Carter Howard wanted to speak, he said first: "Sir Carter, I can use my personality to be responsible for what I say. Since you don't want to be involved, I wonder if you can help me contact Prince Philip?"
Duke Carter Howard swallowed the words again. He looked straight at Xia Yu in silence for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Yes."
...
There are two flowers, one on each side.
When Xia Yu dined at the Howard family, the Rohir family also got some information about Xia Yu.
Rothschild family castle.
When Jacob Rothier was preparing to eat, he suddenly saw his cousin, Evelyn Rothier, walking in.
"Evelyn, you came just in time, let's have dinner together."
Evelyn Rothier glanced at the food on the table and said with a faint smile, "Okay."
When Evelyn Rothier came to the table, the servant quickly brought out a whole set of tableware.
"Evelyn, why are you free today?"
Jacob Rosier asked casually as he was cutting a steak.
Evelyn Rothier said immediately: "The main reason is that I got an extremely important news, I think it may have a lot to do with us, so I will come back and tell you."
Jacob Rothier paused, looked up at his cousin, and asked, "Why is the news so urgent?"
Evelyn Rothier cut off the steak with a knife, used a fork to pick up the small pieces, and said succinctly: "Xia Yu came to London yesterday and set off for the Howard family this morning."
After speaking, he put the steak into his mouth and chewed it with his mouth closed, but looked straight at Jacob Rosier.
As he expected, Jacob Roshir was very concerned about this news, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said suspiciously: "He hasn't been to London for almost a year, this time he will look for him as soon as he arrives. Carter Howard, for the new telecom company?"
Evelyn Rothier shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. He has strong security forces both on the surface and in the dark. We can't find out the content of his conversation and the specific itinerary."
"But considering that the last time he joined the Howard family and Prince Philip to win Dadong Telecom, it proved that he is very interested in the telecommunications market, so at this time, I can't think of his other purpose than the telecommunications market."
"How's Margaret's attitude?"
Jacob Rosier shook his head slightly and said, "It's not clear yet,
I met her once and she didn't give a clear answer, we have to try harder. "
Evelyn Rothier's expression was a little serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Then we should pay more attention. According to the information reported by Charles from Xiangjiang, Xia Yu made a huge profit in this sudden stock market crash in Xiangjiang. Profit, his Jiuding Consortium has spent more than four billion pounds of funds, and his funds are still terrifying."
"We have to prevent him from losing his mind and fighting for a second telco at any cost."
Jacob Rothier nodded in agreement, and said in a deep voice, "Your consideration is correct. We must treat him with a more rigorous attitude."
Speaking of this, Jacob Rothier pondered for a moment, and then said again: "Evelyn, you will mobilize your strength to keep an eye on Xia Yu's itinerary, and at the same time do your best to investigate the real purpose of his coming to London."
"And on my side, we will once again increase our efforts to compete for new telecommunications companies."
"Well, no problem."
Evelyn Rothier nodded in agreement.
...
Xia Yu was unaware of the actions of the Rothschild family.
Because after having lunch with the Howard family, he set off for Windsor, the royal borough of Windsor-Maidenhead, Berkshire, southeastern England, England.
In the Howard family castle, Duke Carter Howard had already agreed to Xia Yu's request and was willing to be the middleman, and had a phone call with Prince Philip. The specific meeting place would be Windsor Castle in Windsor Town.
Because at this time, the Queen and Prince Philip are vacationing in the world's largest inhabited castle.
But unfortunately, when Xia Yu came to Windsor Town, the Queen happened to return to London on a temporary basis. Prince Philip stayed in the castle and waited for a meeting with Xia Yu because he had an agreement with Xia Yu.
Windsor Castle is also the main administrative residence of the British monarch, and is naturally top-notch in terms of defense.
To this end, Xia Yu's bodyguard team was taken seriously. He only entered Windsor Castle with Elena, and met Prince Philip, who had turned sixty years old, in the simple and elegant reception hall.
At the age of sixty, although he has fewer wrinkles on his face than his peers due to meticulous maintenance, his shiny forehead and sparse hair are also obvious marks left by the years on him.
When he saw Elena who was intimately accompanying Xia Yu, a trace of surprise flashed in Prince Philip's eyes, and his gaze towards Xia Yu changed a bit. He seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Mr. Xia, and the beautiful and pure Ms. Elena, you are welcome!"
Prince Philip got up and welcomed Xia Yu and Elena with a smile.
