"Mr. Xia, your business is so big, I am so lonely that I didn't even find out that there is such a big man as you in London. ”

Gerald Pat said sincerely, implicitly flattering but also very natural.

Thick-skinned is the basic skill of a politician, Gerald Pat, as one of the political stars in the Conservative Party, is naturally not bad in this regard, at this time after knowing Xia Yu's details, his attitude has become very enthusiastic, but it will not seem abrupt.

Xia Yu smiled faintly, feeling that it was very normal, Gerard Pat's attitude was exactly what he needed.

"Mr. Gerrard, I have just come to London, and I usually have activities at China Commercial Bank, and today is the second time I have attended a large-scale cocktail party, and the first time was not long ago, it was the year-end cocktail party of the British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, so it is normal for you not to know me. ”

Gerard Pat's heart moved, and he asked quietly: "Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to be a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I remember that the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is Mr. Wu Chengde." ”

"Yes, I am good friends with his grandson, and it was he who introduced me to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce some time ago, and he cheekily hung up the identity of an honorary director. ”

Xia Yu explained kindly, and inadvertently revealed his influence on the other side.

Sure enough, hearing Xia Yu's words, Gerald Pat paid more and more attention to Xia Yu in his heart, and his attitude was unconsciously more enthusiastic.

Xia Yu and Gerald Pat both had their own thoughts, and they could sense what the other was thinking, and the hypocritical two would naturally take the initiative to find a topic, so they chatted happily, and they didn't even know when Duke Carter Howard, Elena, and Duke Cavendish had gone elsewhere.

"Mr. Gerrard, not long after I came to the UK, I have a feeling that the Chinese seem to be relatively independent and not very involved in politics, and the British government does not have an obvious policy towards ethnic minorities, is that so?"

Xia Yu provoked another topic.

When it comes to minorities and politics, Gerald Pat has to answer solemnly, after all, he is a politician, and if he really becomes the mayor of London, this is also a problem he has to face.

What's more, he also knew Xia Yu's identity, and as soon as this question came out, Gerald Pat would naturally think about the aspect of the investigation, and wanted to state his views to Xia Yu in order to gain his approval.

"Mr. Xia, this is indeed the case, although the government's policies are all aimed at improving people's livelihood, developing the economy and easing social contradictions, but because of the problems of funds, personnel and energy, it is impossible to cover everything, so it is necessary for the councilors of each constituency to find out the problems of their own districts and put them forward in the parliament, and then submit them to the government for approval and promulgation after discussion and approval. ”

"For ethnic minorities, whether they are Asian or African, we outsiders don't know much about what policies they need, and Asians are not very politically involved, especially Chinese, who have basically given up their political life and rights, and we have tried to do so, but it's a pity, so I'm sorry that the British government has let you down. ”

Speaking of this, Gerard Pat shrugged helplessly, an apologetic expression on his face.

To be honest, for Asians, especially the more special Chinese, whether it is the Conservative Party, the Labor Party or the Liberal Democratic Party, they have tried to win their support and votes.

But unfortunately, the Chinese are very xenophobic, and after the efforts of several political parties, they found that no matter who they can't win over, then they simply give up on all three sides, as if these voters do not exist, and everyone is still on the same starting line.

Of course, if the Chinese are willing to change, I believe that the three political parties will actively try to win them over.

I saw Xia Yu smile lightly and shook his head: "Mr. Gerald, you don't have to be sorry, it's really our own will, maybe it's a cultural issue, Chinese Americans are generally not very involved in politics." ”

"But I think that since we live in the UK, we have to adapt to the British environment, and every citizen has political life and rights, and if we don't speak up ourselves, then we can't complain about others. ”

"I think Chinese Americans should make a change, and they can make a change. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Gerald Pat with a light smile.

Gerard Pat's glasses lit up, and his heart was ready to move.

Xia Yu is not an ordinary Chinese, he can be said to be the most influential person among the Chinese, and he is friends with the Wu family, if he is really willing to exert his efforts to let the Chinese support him to run for mayor and support the Conservative Party, then he will definitely be able to pull the vote difference far away!

This is a great opportunity!

Gerard Pat said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I agree with your point of view, if you need to use me anywhere, please feel welcome." ”

Xia Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Gerald, then you're welcome, it just so happens that I like the policy of the Conservative Party very much, but there are still many things I don't understand, if I have the opportunity, I want to ask you for advice." ”

The deep meaning of Xia Yu's words was heard by Gerald Pat, he was a little excited in his heart, this is Xia Yu throwing an olive branch to him, as long as he seizes the opportunity to satisfy Xia Yu, he will be able to get the support of Xia Yu and even the Chinese, how can he not be excited?

"Mr. Xia, I wonder if I'm free tomorrow? It just so happens that the bluefin tuna I ordered will be delivered to my house tomorrow, and my wife is better at cooking. ”

Gerard Pat asked expectantly, making an excuse.

Xia Yu is also a qualified actor, and showed an unexpected smile: "Really? I like bluefin tuna, so I'm welcome." ”

"It's my pleasure that you're willing to come!"

"And where am I going to pick you up tomorrow afternoon?"

Gerard Pat hurriedly asked.

"Then I'll be at the China Commercial Bank in the City of London tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I'll be there then!"

Xia Yu finished smiling, chatted with Gerard Pat a few more words, and then stopped.

He looked at the fund-raising desk, which was no longer crowded, and said to Gerard Pat: "Mr. Gerald, I'm going to contribute to the Conservative Party first. ”

"Thanks, you're busy first!"

Gerald Pat bowed slightly and said gratefully, although the money donated by Xia Yu may not necessarily fall on his head, but the Conservative Party has helped him.

Xia Yu did not leave immediately, but in front of Gerard Pat's eyes, he took out a stack of blank checks from Huashang Bank from his inner pocket, picked up a pen and wrote it on the spot.

Xia Yu did not hesitate to write a 1 and six 0s, and then signed his name.

All of this was seen by Gerald Pat, and when he saw Xia Yu lightly write a check for one million pounds, he was shocked, and the importance of Xia Yu in his heart was raised several levels again.

The donation of one million pounds is enough to become the highest donation for this cocktail party, and Xia Yu can donate it at will.

Knowing the leopard, Gerard Pat has a clearer idea of Xia Yu's strength.

Sure enough, it's a golden thigh, and it's not a chicken leg, it's an elephant's leg!

Now this golden thigh is naked in front of him, and he must seize the opportunity tomorrow!

If this million pounds supports him, no, only half a million pounds, he can organize more than a dozen large-scale political events, and with the media propaganda, he can definitely widen the gap with Nick Keeson.

Gerard Pat's performance was taken in by Xia Yu, but he didn't notice it, smiled at him, and walked to the donation table in his emotional gaze.

A million pounds?

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no such thing as a donation that may bring back huge benefits, and how can we stop Gerard Pat and attract Margaret Thatcher to it?

If Margaret Thatcher can be completely tied, let alone a million pounds, as long as she dares to accept it, Xia Yu will dare to give 100 million pounds!
