Chapter 637 Cooperation with Standard Chartered in the UK
The future electronics industry is no less than today's automobile, oil and even real estate industries. These huge industries were basically shared by multiple countries before. Even if the Middle East controls 40% of the world's oil, 60% of the world's oil is still outside. The various benefits of oil processing, transportation and other benefits are also shared by many countries around the world. The same is true for the automobile and real estate markets. Auto giants like Germany and Japan have to invest in other countries.
Only the electronics industry is very special. As an emerging industry, it is almost monopolized by the United States, and the subsequent Internet industry is even more exaggerated. In addition to the mainland, the Internet in other countries in the world is not as good as the United States. This is also the pioneering effect of the technology industry.
Even as a time traveler, due to a small city like Hong Kong, even if Yang Wendong can participate in some electronics industry, he will only be a small part of it;
Hong Kong's population and technological capabilities are too poor. Even if there are mainland population resources after the future reform and opening up, it will be limited by the level of education, and it will be difficult to catch up in a short period of time;
Therefore, if there is a certain level of electronics industry within the Commonwealth, it will be very helpful to Yang Wendong. Even the UK will inevitably invest huge costs to support it in order to protect its rare core industries, which is what Yang Wendong needs.
Even to the worst, the UK has mastered a considerable electronics industry, which can prevent the United States from dominating the world to a certain extent. This is something that a time traveler cannot do, but a time traveler cooperates with a second-class country, it is still possible to eat a small piece of fat meat.
Thatcher thought about it and said, "Electronics industry? We also attach great importance to this within. Many universities in the UK also have majors in this area."
Yang Wendong said, "I know, but I think it is not enough. Ms. Thatcher, you can imagine that the various air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, color TVs, kitchen appliances, and fans we now have can be controlled with chips in the future; even cars are the same.
This can not only drive the development of the chip industry, but also drive any product involving electricity. Similarly, this may be a major reshuffle of the global industry. Some companies that seize the opportunity are likely to defeat the former brands, similar to what Japanese companies do today."
"What do you mean is that British companies should take this opportunity to compete for the international market?" Thatcher is also a smart person, so he naturally understood what Yang Wendong meant at first.
Yang Wendong nodded in agreement: "Yes, but it is very difficult to do this. Many old companies are not fools. They will also embrace new technologies. The United States itself is too far ahead in this regard. Los Angeles brings together half of the world's electronic geniuses;
So if the British government wants to catch up in this field, it is very difficult, but no matter what, it has to try to do it. As long as it does, even if it is still not as good as the United States in the end, it can still have some of its own industrial advantages. This is enough for the United Kingdom."
For small countries, in fact, several industries are very awesome, which is enough. For example, in Northern Europe, some can make a fortune by relying on oil, and some relying on one or two large industries;
And a population superpower like China and the United States need enough industries, and even the entire industrial chain is difficult to reach the level of developed countries unless it is rushing in two directions.
The UK is in the middle position.
Thatcher thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but although I am the Minister of Education and Technology, this kind of thing is not something I can decide alone, and it needs to be approved by the parliament;
Mr. Yang, I don't know if you have any more detailed suggestions for the development of the electronics industry in the UK, such as direct measures."
"I don't have very direct measures." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "I just want to explain that this matter is very important. For industrial investment, it is better not to participate in major events in the UK;
But I suggest starting this year, increasing the investment in the educational resources of the electronics technology industry in universities. No matter how they do in the future, it will require a large number of talents. Without talents, no matter how good the plan is, it is useless. The core of Silicon Valley can develop is that Stanford University and various universities in California are rich in resources."
Although he also thought that Britain was stronger in the field of science and technology, it would be beneficial to him and facilitate his company to have a certain foundation;
But it is impossible for him to really work hard to think and plan for the development of the UK, so he would not be idle and he could participate appropriately in the mainland in the future.
Anyway, I came to see Thatcher just talked about this. If Thatcher could really do this, the UK's electronics industry will be developed in the future and there will be more related talents, which will also be beneficial to the development needs of Glory Electronics; if nothing is successful, then when Thatcher thinks about this in the future, he will know that Yang Wendong's far-sighted vision for the future will inevitably pay attention to him.
Anyway, just say it casually, no matter what the result is, it will have certain benefits.
Thatcher didn't think much about it and smiled: "Indeed, education is the foundation of a country's development, and Mr. Yang's analysis is indeed very accurate;
I actually have another suggestion here. Why doesn’t Mr. Yang immigrate to the UK and come to the UK to develop with your ability, and that will definitely develop better. You can also formally participate in some national development suggestions, which will also be beneficial to your career. Isn’t this a killing of multiple goals in one fell swoop? "I don't consider immigration for the time being, mainly because I don't like the British climate very much. We Asians like to bask in the sun. "Yang Wendong smiled and said.
Although this is just a very garbage reason, it is indeed very important. After all, health is more important than career. Anyway, career almost makes less money. If your health is poor, you will feel uncomfortable in your life.
Many Chinese really cannot adapt to the climate in the UK. It is called Rain City and Fog City. It is not a joke. First, the climate is due to the less sun, and second, the pollution is really serious, at least for the moment.
Thatcher smiled and said: "Immigration to the UK does not mean that you need to stay in the UK for a long time. There are also many Chinese rich people in Hong Kong who have also immigrated to the UK, such as Bao Yugang, you should know him. ”
"This matter is very big, I need to think about it seriously." Yang Wendong did not refuse directly. He would not immigrate anyway, but there was no need to say it toughly;
Governor Dai Linzhi asked about this matter more than a year ago, and he answered it like this. In fact, the other party knew his attitude, but often, a level of face was very important.
Thatcher did not ask again, and said, "Okay, I really hope that if Mr. Yang can become a British citizen, he can also join our party."
"Maybe." Yang Wendong was perfunctory again.
In the West, businessmen can also participate in the elections of parties, even presidents and prime ministers, such as the most famous golden retriever bird in his previous life;
Even overseas consortiums like Yang Wendong have some methods to legally sponsor parties. In short, as long as everything is legal, there will be no "bribery".
In the past life, Britain's military expenditure was no less than that of Damao, but there were more naval officers than warships, fewer army personnel, and few tanks, but it was so magical, without corruption or corruption~
After meeting with Thatcher, Yang Wendong met with many other officials one after another. After all, it is not the Conservative Party in power, and Thatcher is just one of the British power circles. The large consortium naturally needs investment from multiple parties, but it will not invest as hugely as in Thatcher.
On March 1, Yang Wendong came to the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in London. Brian, a vice president of Standard Chartered Bank, personally greeted Yang Wendong and took Yang Wendong around the interior of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Mr. Yang, our Standard Chartered Bank now has financial business in more than 40 countries around the world, including Asia and South America." Brian said with a smile: "In the future, Mr. Yang, your company will also expand globally. I think there will inevitably be more cooperation opportunities between us."
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "I hope so too. Recently, I have been planning to invest in many factories in the UK, involving up to tens of millions of pounds, so I also need to cooperate with a local bank."
As a capitalist, investment is definitely not enough to use your own money. As long as you can borrow money, raise funds, loans, etc., and you can get other people's money to make money by yourself, the most correct way is;
The same is true for investment in the UK, involving multiple factories, multiple land, a large number of equipment, etc. The investment in funds is also very large. Although Changxing Group can take it out, there is no reason to have to pay the money by itself.
And another point is that external investment also requires cooperation with external large capital. On the one hand, it is to cooperate with peers or bind part of local capital through supply chains. On the other hand, it can reach an interest alliance with local large banks through financial means; at any time, the power of internal banks in any local area is very strong, which is inevitable.
As long as you owe enough debts, the bank will hope that the industry can develop normally while making profits. After all, there are still very few banks that really covet the lender industry. If this is the case, the bank will not be able to mess around in the future.
Bryan immediately became interested and smiled and said, "We Standard Chartered Bank are very willing to cooperate with Mr. Yang. We have always cooperated very well in Hong Kong, and the same must be true in the UK or other countries."
"Okay, you can discuss. If the conditions are right, I will consider Standard Chartered Bank." Yang Wendong is also preparing to use Standard Chartered Bank as a partner, otherwise he would not come here. Then he said, "Mr. Brian, in addition to industrial investment in the UK, I am also planning to make some property or financial investments in the UK, and I also hope Standard Chartered Bank can support it."
