Chapter 1072 There Is a Country that Wants to Launch with the United Kingdom...

Chapter 1072 A country wants to launch a campaign with the UK...

"Prince Philip, thank you for your welcome, it's an honor to come to Windsor Castle, and I'm overwhelmed all the way in. It's a really spectacular building."

Xia Yu reached out and shook hands with Prince Philip, smiling and flattering.

"Uncle Philip, good morning!"

Elena whispered hello to Prince Philip.

Prince Philip is his highest title, in addition he has the Duke of Edinburgh, the Earl of Meriones, the Baron of Greenwich, the Royal Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the Oldest and Nobleest Knight of the Order of the Thistle, the Order of the British Empire the noble master and chief knight, etc.

As one of the Dukes, Prince Philip and Duke Carter Howard are very familiar friends. Elena has seen him many times and called him uncle since childhood.

Looking at Elena who smiled and stayed quietly beside Xia Yu, like a gentle and virtuous wife, Prince Philip became more and more sure of his guess.

He smiled back at Elena, then invited Xia Yu and Elena to take a seat.

"Mr. Xia, and the beautiful Elena, please take a seat!"

"What do you want?"

"I can, everything in Windsor Castle is worth savoring."

Xia Yu deliberately said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, and gave Prince Philip a special look.

As the saying goes, politeness is not to blame for many people, and everyone likes to listen to good things, but it is the cheapest way to gain the goodwill of others.

Prince Philip was very happy, he laughed, and he looked at Elena again.

Elena immediately said softly: "Uncle Philip, mine is the same as his, thank you!"

"no problem!"

Prince Philip glanced at Xia Yu and Elena with some deep eyes, and after speaking, he instructed the servant waiting by the side: "Use the best coffee."

"OK."

The servant responded respectfully, then quietly stepped back to prepare.

"Elena, how has your father been recently? I haven't seen him for two months."

"Uncle Philip, thank you for your concern. My father is doing very well. He was with me when he came. I really want to find you to play golf."

"Oh? It's simple. I'll give him a call later and make an appointment to relax."

...

After chatting casually with Elena, Prince Philip looked at Xia Yu again and asked with a smile, "Mr. Xia, when did you come to the UK, I have met your subordinate Manager George several times, and when I asked him He said you didn't come to England."

Xia Yu replied with a smile: "Prince Philip, I flew to London the afternoon before yesterday, because I haven't been here for a long time, there is a backlog of things for me to deal with here, and I was busy dealing with things, but I didn't come right away. I'm really sorry to visit you."

Prince Philip smiled and waved his hand and said, "You don't need to apologize, I can understand. I am very impressed that you can handle the matter in a short period of time."

"If it was me, I might not be able to finish it in a week!"

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Prince Philip, you are being humble, my affairs are definitely not comparable to yours, and with your ability and experience, you must be more efficient in handling things than me, and I still have a lot to learn from you. The place."

"Ha ha……"

...

In the middle of the casual chat, the servant brought out the steaming aromatic coffee, and Xia Yu raised the topic through coffee again, and chatted with Prince Philip about coffee planting, production and taste for a long time.

For Xia Yu, a young, promising and powerful tycoon who is also a partner, Prince Philip didn't put on any airs, and chatted with Xia Yu like an old friend for many years.

One more topic was ended, and after taking a sip of coffee and taking a break, Prince Philip finally asked what Duke Howard had mentioned to him on the phone.

"Mr. Xia, listen to Sir Carter, you have something you want to talk to me about British prestige and influence,

What's the matter? "

After Prince Philip asked, he looked at Xia Yu quietly with a warm smile.

Xia Yu nodded and said with a light smile, "Yes, this matter is very important."

"But I have an unkind request. I hope this matter is linked to another matter."

Prince Philip's smile froze slightly, Xia Yu was about to make a condition, but this kind of thing was normal, he had seen so many times, and he didn't have the slightest emotion.

He nodded slightly and said softly, "Mr. Xia, please speak."

Xia Yu smiled lightly and continued: "Prince Philip, you may know that I am from Hong Kong, and my career and foundation are basically in Hong Kong. The reason why I have been able to invest in the UK on a large scale in recent years is because I earned money in Hong Kong. When it comes to money, so the prosperity of Xiangjiang determines the ceiling of my career."

"But some time ago, because of the instability of Xiangjiang, its prosperous economy was directly destroyed. A sudden stock market crash wiped out all the achievements of Xiangjiang in the past ten years."

"If Hong Kong's economy wants to recover again, I don't know how much investment and how long it will take."

"And now Hong Kong is still affected by unstable political factors, which is even more unfavorable for Hong Kong's economic recovery."

"So whether it is for our people and business community in Hong Kong, or for me to have more funds to invest in the UK in the future, I hope that Hong Kong can develop steadily."

Prince Philip looked serious, looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xia, do you know? You are now interfering in British diplomacy. This is a very serious issue!"

Xia Yu did not change his face, shook his head calmly and said: "Prince Philip, I am not interfering in British foreign policy, I am just representing the citizens of Hong Kong and the capital of Hong Kong. The whole Hong Kong people are panicking, how many people have been destroyed, and now they are still There are many people who are worried about the future of Xiangjiang, so they continue to emigrate, which is a matter of people's livelihood in Xiangjiang."

"Xiangjiang is now under British rule. It is the UK's job to manage and develop Hong Kong well. My appeal should be reasonable and legal."

Prince Philip looked solemn, but did not speak for a long time.

Because what Xia Yu said is well-founded, no matter what, it cannot be denied that Hong Kong is now governed by the United Kingdom, and the citizens of Hong Kong directly hold British nationality. If the development of Hong Kong is not good, it is the responsibility of the British government.

This is beyond doubt!

But Prince Philip is not stupid, and he knows the deep things. If he dares to agree to Xia Yu's request and the British government dares to agree, it is equivalent to giving up the dispute over the ownership of Xiangjiang.

Because once it confronts the mainland, then the Xiangjiang in the middle will be affected by the political turmoil, and there is no way for the Xiangjiang to stabilize.

And promised Xia Yu, then the British government couldn't do everything in Xiangjiang to do damage.

So this is not what he is willing to promise in his heart, and it is not what he can promise.

Thinking of this, he was about to shake his head to refuse.

Seeing Prince Philip's actions, Xia Yu said again before he said the words of refusal: "Prince Philip, if I know a piece of news, what if a country is going to go to war with Britain? I exchange this news, what do you think? ?"

Prince Philip stared, stood up suddenly, and blurted out in shock: "War?"

"you sure?"

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said, "I won't lie about this kind of thing!"

"Which country dares to challenge the majesty of the British Empire!"

After Xia Yu affirmed, Prince Philip said angrily, staring at Xia Yu with round eyes, hoping that he would give the answer right away.

But Xia Yu was unmoved, still smiling, and said calmly, "Prince Philip, I can't say this easily."

Prince Philip took a breath and felt a little irritable. He took a deep breath, and after sitting down again, he stared at Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, you are also a British citizen. It is a citizen's duty to maintain the security of the country. What do you want to talk about? The issue of Xiangjiang can be put in the next step, it involves war, and every minute and every second is very important."

Xia Yu didn't laugh any more this time, he said to Prince Philip with a serious expression: "Prince Philip, the reason why I linked the prosperity of Xiangjiang to this matter is also considering my status as a British citizen. If the British government thinks that I am a British citizen with legitimate rights and interests, then the government has the responsibility to maintain the prosperity of Hong Kong and develop Hong Kong with all its strength. I want to receive the rights and benefits of citizens, then I will definitely fulfill my obligations."

"If the government doesn't treat me as a citizen and I don't enjoy rights and benefits, then there's no reason for me to do my duty!"

"Rights and obligations are equal!"

"Isn't it?"

Prince Philip was left speechless.

This is a closed loop, and he can't find a valid reason. When the high-sounding words are invalid, he can only use the real interests.

Prince Philip pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Mr. Xia, I have no right to express my position on the matter of Xiangjiang, and I can't promise you."

"I'll go with you to see the Prime Minister, and it's up to you to talk to her."

The corner of Xia Yu's mouth twitched, nodded and said, "No problem!"
