"Ambassador Qian, thank you for coming!"

"Alas, President Wu, you have seen the outside, such a grand cocktail party, it is definitely a big regret in life to miss it, and it is our honor to receive your invitation!"

Just when Wu Chengde and Qian Wenchao were touting each other, Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu came together.

When almost everyone was discouraged, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi approached, naturally they were very prominent, of course Qian Wenchao noticed it, he squinted his head, and when he saw Xia Yu, his eyes lit up and his smile was even brighter.

"Ambassador Qian, it's my grandson Hongyi and his friend Xia Yu. ”

Wu Chengde took the opportunity to introduce, but he didn't expect Xia Yu and Qian Wenchao to know each other, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

"Hello, Mr. Ambassador, I'm Wu Hongyi!"

"Ambassador Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, but at this time, you still have the same demeanor!"

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Xia, fortunately!"

Qian Wenchao took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Yu and the two, especially when shaking hands with Xia Yu, he also increased the intensity, obviously he was very happy after seeing Xia Yu again.

Although he had known that Xia Yu had come to London, Xia Yu did not take the initiative to come to him, and he did not have the right opportunity to invite Xia Yu, so it was the first time they met at this time.

"Mr. Xia, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, and I saw that you were too busy to disturb you, this time with the light of President Wu, I have to have a good exchange. ”

"Ambassador Qian, it's my fault, I didn't go to you when I came to London, so I take this opportunity to make amends to you first. ”

"Eh, you can't say that, career is more important, you can go to me at any time, but some business can't be delayed, such as your acquisition of the Financial Times, but it has greatly increased my Chinese face, congratulations!"

Qian Wenchao said with emotion, looking at Xia Yu's eyes full of admiration.

Xia Yu's acquisition of the Financial Times Group can hide from the general public, but he can't hide it from people at a certain level, like Qian Wenchao, who will definitely know.

And he knew it relatively deeply, when he learned the news that Duke Howard was greeting Xia Yu for help, Qian Wenchao specially learned about Elena and Henry who appeared next to Xia Yu, and was secretly shocked by Xia Yu's sudden connections.

Of course, the shock was followed by a heartfelt joy, after all, this was very beneficial to Xia Yu, as can be seen from the acquisition of the Financial Times Group in the hands of Pearson.

And as he said, this behavior has greatly increased the face of the Chinese, which can be said to be an unprecedented achievement of the Chinese in the British media industry, with the Financial Times Group, Xia Yu's influence will spread rapidly, which has an extremely important impact on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu's position is pro-mainland, he has benefited, and of course Qian Wenchao is happy for Xia Yu!

"Ambassador Qian is right, Mr. Xia, your acquisition of the Financial Times Group has made the old man and I so excited that I can't sleep for several days, you have done what all of us British Chinese can't do, and you have done it so well, I can only admire it!"

Wu Chengde also said with admiration at this time.

Of course, what he said was half-true, he really couldn't sleep, but it was not because he was excited for Xia Yu, but he was shocked, shocked by Xia Yu's achievements, as well as the connections and energy revealed.

For this reason, his attitude towards Xia Yu quietly changed again, and at the same time asked Wu Hongyi to communicate with Xia Yu more and get along well.

"Old Man Wu, Ambassador Qian, I really don't deserve your praise, it's just just a coincidence, and I didn't expect this to be acquired. ”

......

Xia Yu first said something in a modest gesture, and then began to deliberately change the topic, after all, now that the center of the topic has come to him, he has to pay attention to it.

Wu Chengde, Qian Wenchao and Xia Yu and other small groups of people were noticed by the people around them, and seeing Xia Yu talking to them, many people's hearts were secretly shaken, and the weight of Xia Yu who had just appeared was raised a few notches online again.

Then, Wu Chengde took Qian Wenchao, Xia Yu and others to the VIP seat to sit down, by this time, the people had almost arrived, and it was close to the good day, it was time to start the ceremony.

Wu Chengde arranged the top position of the VIP seat for Qian Wenchao and Xia Yu, located in the middle of the first row, and also arranged the two together intimately.

Xia Yu sat in such an important position and received such special treatment, combined with his eye-catching age, which naturally attracted the attention of the audience, and many people secretly inquired about Xia Yu's information, and those in the know immediately informed.

Soon, more and more people knew about Xia Yu.

"Xia Yu, I may want you to come to the stage to say a few words, talk about your experience, and say a few words of blessings, what do you think?"

After Xia Yu sat down, Wu Hongyi quietly came to Xia Yu's side and whispered.

Xia Yu was a little surprised, but seeing that Wu Hongyi was not joking, thinking of the various benefits of being on stage, he smiled and said with a little gratitude: "No problem, listen to your arrangement!"

"Okay, I'll let you know when it's about to happen!"

Seeing Xia Yu agree, Wu Hongyi said with a smile and left to dock.

Before the official start of the reception, Xia Yu had nothing to do, so he chatted with Qian Wenchao in a whisper.

"Mr. Xia, we haven't seen each other for half a year, your career is getting bigger and bigger, and my knowledge is not less, but when it comes to doing business, I only admire you!"

"In particular, your achievements in the media industry are breathtaking, and you are the only one who can do this!"

Qian Wenchao praised Xia Yu, in fact, this is also what he said in his heart, as a political elite, he can represent the country in the United Kingdom, which is the second oldest among the European and American powers, and his ability can be seen, how does he not know the influence of the media industry?

The general media industry is an industry that can influence the political power in various countries, and the control is extremely strict, Xia Yu was able to establish a cartel of the media industry from a small place in Xiangjiang, and now he has successfully penetrated the United Kingdom, which reveals too many things.

Qian Wenchao can fully imagine the importance of Xia Yu in the minds of the mainland's high-level leaders.

Although he has already received news that the country has set a path for economic development and is in great need of foreign funds to invest in China, the influence and importance of the media are even more important than funds.

He knows how much Huaxia is smeared in the world, and the greater Xia Yu's influence in the media industry, the more beneficial it will be to Huaxia, and he will be able to resolve the crisis at a critical moment.

And this advantage, Xia Yu is the only Chinese in the world, and there is no substitute.

On the contrary, it is funds, although it may be difficult, but there are more objects to attract funds, even if Xia Yu does not invest, there are other people who will invest.

In the face of Qian Wenchao's praise, Xia Yu smiled indifferently and said: "Ambassador Qian, in fact, this is also a last resort, as big as a country and a nation, as small as a company or individual, you can't lose the right to speak, so I have to do it in the media industry, even if I lose money." ”

"Unlike others, they can make money in any industry, there is no need to be as persistent as me, if they are willing to make a desperate bet to drill into the media industry, where will it be my turn. ”

"Mr. Xia, you have always been so modest!"

"But I agree with what you said, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, my China has been smeared and treated unfairly too much, if there are ten people like you in the world, the media in Europe and the United States will not be too excessive, and the external environment facing our country will be greatly improved!"

Qian Wenchao was full of emotion, thinking of the hardships and hardships encountered by New China in the past few decades, he felt the deepest as a diplomat, but he was also the most helpless.

Xia Yu was silent for a moment, and said with some emotion: "Yes, unfair treatment and public opinion oppression are everywhere, in the final analysis, we have no means of countermeasures, if we have a certain strength, they don't dare to do whatever they want." ”

"Ambassador Qian, I am a Chinese, rooted in China, although due to objective reasons, I can't let my media fall to China, but I will at least be fair!"

Qian Wenchao suddenly laughed and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, it is enough to have your words, I have come from a poor and white man in Huaxia to the present, and I do not lack momentum and perseverance, I firmly believe that as long as there is a fair environment, my Chinese nation can defeat all opponents!

"Mr. Xia, there is nothing else I can do, I can only wish your business to get bigger and bigger, if there is anything I can do, you can come to me at any time, I will never refuse!"

Qian Wenchao's words were extremely firm, this was his attitude, and it was also Huaxia's attitude, but it just happened to be said by his mouth.

As one of the few people who have a relationship with Xia Yu, and Xia Yu came to the UK again, Qian Wenchao certainly knows some secret things specially told by the high-level, such as Xia Yu has decided to go north, and now the time is being determined, which proves that Xia Yu's position is completely fine, of course it is his own person.

When dealing with your own people, you don't need to hide a lot of words.

Qian Wenchao's words made Xia Yu very satisfied, his heart moved, and he said to Qian Wenchao: "Ambassador Qian, I will definitely visit you at the embassy in two days." ”

Qian Wenchao's eyes flashed, knowing that Xia Yu had some things that were inappropriate to say here, so he planned to say it to his face when the time came, so he smiled and immediately nodded and said, "Then wait for you!"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, glanced at the big stage, and said softly: "The ceremony has begun." ”

Qian Wenchao nodded in understanding, said no more, and looked at the stage quietly.

I saw a row of positions on it, which was full of people, and a name tag was placed in front of everyone, and Wu Chengde sat in the middle position.

At this time, there was also a lecture seat on the side of the stage, and Wu Hongyi was standing there, obviously playing the role of host.

“...... Next, I would like to invite Mr. Wu Chengde, Chairman of the British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, to deliver a speech for the opening of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In a burst of fierce applause, Wu Hongyi stepped down from the stage and stood aside, Wu Chengde came to the position of the speaker, first bowed slightly to the audience, and then began to speak.

"Hello everyone, first of all, please allow me to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders, guests and all members who have come here on behalf of the Council of the British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In the past year, the development of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association has achieved excellent results, including the development of 18 new members, respectively...... According to statistics, the total assets of the members of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association exceeded 30 billion pounds for the first time, and the results were extremely gratifying...... I hope that in the new year, we will continue to unite and cooperate, go hand in hand, and the cause will be thriving.

"Three billion pounds?"

When Xia Yu heard the data Wu Chengde said, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but read the number silently.

He didn't expect that the British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association already had this strength, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

Although it is not as strong as the strength of Chinese capital in Hong Kong, considering the density and number of Chinese businessmen in the UK, it is already commendable to have this strength!

Of course, Xia Yu also knows that the 30 billion pounds refers to the total assets, not the net assets, the total assets of the 30 billion pounds, excluding the liabilities, etc., it is estimated that the net assets can be 5 billion pounds, which is considered very high.

But in this society, what is more important is how many resources can be controlled, and it is not net assets that determine the influence, but total assets.

"With a total asset of 30 billion pounds, if the British Chinese businessmen can unite and form a Chinese-funded consortium with the Chinese Commercial Bank as the core, the combat effectiveness will definitely rise to a higher level, although it cannot be said that it can compete with the major British family consortiums, but self-protection is still not a problem!"

Xia Yu thought secretly in his heart.

There is already a chamber of commerce, as long as it is established that the Chinese Commercial Bank is the core capital turnover bank of the major Chinese-funded enterprises, then the prototype of the consortium will be automatically formed, and when the time comes, the Chinese-funded consortium may be able to take shape directly.

"For me now, the Wu family can still help, but if I can't keep up, sooner or later it will be useless for me, in the UK, I need a reliable ally, the best is to promote the establishment of a Chinese-funded consortium, and then become an important member of it. ”

"It seems that I have to talk to Hongyi later, as long as Wu Chengde knows, I don't believe he is not moved!"

Just when Xia Yu was pondering, Wu Chengde had stepped down at some point, and was replaced by a vice chairman who came to the stage to make a report, telling about the achievements and goals in the field he was specifically responsible for, and finally ended with a good outlook for the future.

......

"Next, we will invite several important guests to the stage to speak for us, first of all, let us invite Mr. Qian Wenchao, the ambassador of Shanghai Huaxia to the UK, everyone is welcome!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

......

After Qian Wenchao came to power, Wu Hongyi came to Xia Yu and told Xia Yu that he would be him immediately, and sure enough, after Qian Wenchao's three-minute short speech, Wu Hongyi read Xia Yu's title on it.

It's just that this time, Wu Hongyi thought about it for a long time.

"Next, let us invite an important guest, many friends present should have heard of him for the first time, he is the chairman of Jiuding Culture Media Group, the chairman of Jiuding Financial Group, the chairman of Jiuding Real Estate Group, the chairman of Jiuding Retail Group and the second largest shareholder of China Commercial Bank, Mr. Xia Yuxia, let us warmly welcome!"

Wu Hongyi finished reading it in one breath, then looked at Xia Yu, nodded with a smile, Xia Yu stood up with a smile, and walked up to the lecture table in a whisper of discussion and shock.

"I just went to Xiangjiang some time ago, I know who he is, the helmsman of the Jiuding Consortium, the famous stock god of Xiangjiang, the Jardine Consortium that has been defeated for more than 100 years, and a business wizard that is rare in a century!"

"Are you saying that the Jardine Consortium of the First Consortium of British Capital in the Far East was defeated by him? My God, it seems that the Jardine Consortium is much more powerful than the Wu family, doesn't that mean that none of us present is richer than him?"

"Tsk, it's unimaginable, it seems that he is really an important guest, and he is also the second largest shareholder of China Commercial Bank, it seems that the relationship between the Wu family and him is not ordinary, and the strength of the Wu family is stronger. ”

"I have such an achievement at a young age, and I feel like I have lived to a dog compared to him, I don't know what he thinks about it, if only I had some hard goods, see if I can learn something." ”

Not to mention the following, even the eight or nine directors of the most powerful Chinese entrepreneurs association on the stage all looked sideways, looked at Xia Yu who walked up calmly and calmly, and then glanced at Wu Chengde, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and thought about it.
