Chapter 406: Ma Wei's Conditions
When Mavie, led by British Minister Joel Luke, entered the British Cabinet Conference Hall. Rows of union representatives in suits stood up and shook hands with Mavie, showing welcome and respect for him.
"Hello, dear Mr. Mavie!"
"Good afternoon! Mr. Mavie."
...
These union representatives present were targeted by various EU targets this time. So they showed gratitude and expectations for Mavie's arrival, hoping that he, who is legendary, can help the major guilds to survive the crisis smoothly.
Speaking of these guilds abroad, they are very influential in their respective industries. They are not a separate company, nor a group, but an integrator of the entire industry. Once a company gets angry, the most serious thing will be facing a full strike. At that time, the factory will be suspended, orders will be delayed, and the company will suffer great losses.
After a round of handshakes, Mawei's palm was already covered with the breath and sweat of many old British men. In such an occasion, Mawei could not immediately go to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Fortunately, he has no cleanliness, which will not affect the next meeting.
Two minutes later, everyone in the conference hall sat back on their seats. Mavi was also guided to sit in the front seat, waiting for the official start of the meeting.
"Mr. Mavie, thank you for coming to the UK from afar to participate in our joint union meeting. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the representative of the British Automobile Industry Association, and my name is Rick. Recently, our British automobile industry has been jointly targeted by European countries."
"Take the Jaguar brand as an example. Compared with the same period last year, sales in Europe fell by 4.3%... while sales in Land Rover's automobile brand fell by 5.8% compared with the same period last year..."
The first person to speak was the representative of the British Automobile Industry Association. The British automobile industry has a long history of development. For more than a hundred years since the invention of automobiles, British cars have always been regarded as the most perfect expression of the words "Extreme" and "Quality, Value, Luxury and Elegance" in automobiles.
Its representative brands include mg, Jaguar, Land Rover, mini, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, etc. They have all been affected to varying degrees due to EU sanctions.
After listening carefully to the content, Ma Wei nodded with deep sympathy. He didn't have half a cent shares in these luxury car brands. If he wanted to lend a helping hand and provide help unconditionally, he would be a saint from Russia...
Unless he is asked to invest, it is understandable that he can find a way to help.
"Mr. Mavie, I am a trade union representative of the UK's energy industry. Our UK's energy industry has been hit harder! It is no exaggeration to say that it is collapsing at an astonishing rate. Take Edinburgh Independent Power Company as an example. Its profit in the fourth quarter of last year was -1.2%! If we can't find a good solution, it is estimated that this power company will face bankruptcy in the next two years..."
Shortly after the meeting began, the union representatives of the two industries mentioned the difficulties they faced. There was less mutual benefit from EU countries and more targets from Europe, which made the British local industries face an unprecedented huge impact.
During the meeting for more than two hours, Mawei almost didn't speak much, and was listening to trade unions in various industries in the UK and complaining about the EU. At this time, he suddenly felt fortunate that he had not entered politics, otherwise he would have been affected by these negative energy after hearing these complaints all day long.
When all the union representatives explained the difficulties they encountered now to Mawei, the British Minister Joel Luke, who was in charge of the meeting, asked Mawei, "Mr. Mawei, you see, the difficulties in all walks of life are almost done. Do you have any good solutions to provide them?"
After Joel Luke asked, everyone's eyes focused on Mavie. He was ready to listen to his opinions.
However, at this moment, Ma Wei, who was sitting in the front row, replied with a smile, "There is a solution, Mr. Joel Luke, but before giving a solution, I have a condition here and need to propose it."
Before coming, Mavie had already thought of some countermeasures that should temporarily alleviate the pressure on the UK economy.
When I heard someone had a condition and needed to raise it, I saw the British Minister Joel Luke sitting in front of me and asked Mawei hesitantly, "What are the conditions? Mr. Mawei? Why not tell me it? If it can be done, we will definitely help you."
After hearing this, Mawei nodded, and then spoke in public, "The conditions are actually very simple. Mr. Joel Luke, that is your country's British Museum, which contains many precious cultural relics from all over the world."
"Among them, "The Master of the Three-Honor's Guide", the jade cong from Liangzhu culture, the Kanghou Gui from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the Six-Bo figurines of the Eastern Han Dynasty glazed pottery from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the three-color civil servant figurines from the tomb of Liu Tingxun in the Tang Dynasty, the dragon-headed double-eared bottles of the Yuan Dynasty, and the blue and white porcelain plates of the Yuan Dynasty, these eight historical relics from the Z country. I hope that the museum of your country can sell them to me."
The British Museum, also known as the British Museum, is located in Russell Square on the north side of New Oxford Avenue in London, England. It is the oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum in the world, and it is also one of the five largest and most famous museums in the world.
The museum collects many cultural relics and treasures from all over the world and manuscripts by many great scientists. The collection is rich and diverse, which is rare in museums around the world. The British Museum has more than 8 million collections. Due to space restrictions, 99% of the collections have not been published publicly.
The eight cultural relics Mawei mentioned just now are the eight treasures that the British and French coalition forces robbed the Old Summer Palace and snatched from the Z country (the more than 8 million collections in the British Museum were all treasures collected by the British from Asia and Africa through plundering).
Among them, "The Admonitions of the Female Historian" is a silk painting created by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. The original work has been lost and there are currently copies of the Tang Dynasty. There are 12 paragraphs. Due to the age of time, only 9 paragraphs are left. They are made of silk and are now collected in the British Museum.
