Chapter 556 - Promise (Ask for Subscription)

"Hello sir, thank you for your support!"

As soon as Xia Yu walked to the fundraising desk, a hostess specially arranged by the Conservative Party smiled sweetly at Xia Yu and expressed her gratitude, Xia Yu responded with a smile and came to Jim, a young man in charge of collection registration.

Seeing Xia Yu take out the check, Jim also bowed to Xia Yu and thanked him, and then took Xia Yu's check.

Everyone who comes to donate is prepared with a check, which is conducive to the Conservative Party's collection of money and political donations, and no one will use fake checks, the gains outweigh the losses!

After taking Xia Yu's check, Jim of the Conservative Party procedurally looked at the amount on it, but at this look, his face changed, one 1 plus one string of zeros, and his heart jumped violently.

For fear that he would be wrong, he looked at it carefully, and there was no doubt that it was indeed a million pounds, and he looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, and it was not that he did not accept it.

Originally, Xia Yu was a yellow race that surprised him, and now Xia Yu donated millions of pounds, and the guests who donated before were generally one or two thousand pounds, a few thousand pounds, and there were only more than ten donations of more than 50,000 pounds, and the most one was to donate 200,000 pounds, but I didn't expect Xia Yu to directly multiply it five times.

To be honest, with so much money, it is of great benefit to the Conservative Party to receive it, but considering that Xia Yu is very unfamiliar and the focus is still on yellow skin, he has to be cautious.

Seeing Jim's scruples, Xia Yu smiled faintly and said to him: "Don't worry, the check is real, you can go to Huashang Bank to exchange it at any time, my name is Xia Yu." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the pen on the table and wrote down his Chinese name and English name.

Then he nodded and walked away.

Seeing Xia Yu return to the crowd, Jim said to his companion, found someone to top the post, and then quickly found the top boss.

Jim's immediate boss also felt troubled after hearing this, and finally had to report to Margaret Thatcher, the highest position in the room.

Coincidentally, Margaret was chatting with Duke Howard and others, and when she saw her subordinates signaling to her, she apologized to Duke Howard and others, and then came to her subordinates.

"Leader, the fundraising is a bit out of order, continue your decision. ”

After the subordinate finished speaking, he asked Jim, who knew the most about the matter, to stand up and make a statement.

"Leader, I just received a cheque with a million pounds on it. ”

Jim said respectfully, then handed over the check in his hand.

Margaret's face changed slightly, she took the cheque, and when she looked closely, it was really a million pounds, a huge political donation.

And in her experience, it should be a real check, but the signature on it makes her frown.

At this time, Jim immediately added: "Leader, this check was donated by an Asian gentleman named Xia Yu, and it is the one!"

As he spoke, Jim pointed to Xia Yu, who had been staring at him for a long time, and Margaret followed Jim's point, and sure enough, she saw a very young Asian man talking and laughing with Gerald Pat, a rising political star in the party.

Did you know Gerald?

Wait, this guy seems to have been with Duke Howard just now!

"Did he say anything else?"

Margaret Thatcher did not immediately consult Duke Howard, but asked Jim carefully.

Jim immediately shook his head: "He just said that this check is real, and he can go to Huashang Bank to exchange it at any time, and his name is Xia Yu, and he left the check and left after saying this." ”

Margaret Thatcher's eyes were slightly condensed, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded to Jim and the others: "Okay, I know, I'll take the check first, and you go back to work." ”

"Good leader!"

With all due respect, Jim and his boss left immediately.

Returning to Duke Howard's group again, she smiled and asked Duke Howard, "Sir Carter, I would like to ask you, do you know an Asian named Xia Yu?

Hearing Margaret's question, Duke Carter Howard was a little surprised, nodded and replied: "I know him, the invitation was given to him by me, he is my friend, what's wrong?"

Margaret Thatcher breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and smiled: "It turns out that you know, just now he donated a million pounds, because the amount is too big, my assistant did not dare to accept it, so he reported to me just now." ”

"A million pounds?"

Duke Carter Howard was also surprised by this figure, he didn't expect Xia Yu to donate so much!

But this effect is really good, no, it makes Margaret pay attention to it.

This is a nice opportunity!

Therefore, Duke Howard immediately said: "Lady Margaret, I have talked to Mr. Xia, and he agrees with the election policy of the Conservative Party, and he has donated a million pounds, which I think can be accepted." ”

By the way, although Mr. Xia is from Hong Kong, he also has a career in London, and the Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph are his company's properties. ”

As soon as these words came out, Margaret suddenly became interested, she remembered that these two newspapers had no political position before, but the current boss actually came to the Conservative Party's drinking party, and also made a large donation, which is an extremely favorable signal, as the leader of the Conservative Party, she must seize this opportunity.

"Sir Carter, I feel compelled to thank him for his donation, I wonder if you can introduce me on my behalf?"

Margaret smiled and asked Carter Howard.

"It's my pleasure, please!"

After speaking, Duke Carter Howard led Margaret in the direction of Xia Yu, which attracted the attention of many people around.

The changes around him were noticed by Xia Yu, and he looked for the source of the changes, and found Duke Carter Howard and others.

And the future Iron Lady kept smiling at him, and when she approached, she took the initiative to extend her hand.

Xia Yu greeted him and shook hands with him.

"Hello Mr. Xia, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Margaret did not give special treatment to Xia Yu because she was young, and still used the honorific title "you", which is her consistent style.

"Lady Margaret, it's my pleasure to know you, I didn't expect you to come, it was so surprising to me!"

Xia Yu said with a smile and let go of his hand at the same time.

Margaret smiled mildly: "Mr. Xia, you can participate in our cocktail party, which is to support us, as the leader of the Conservative Party, I have this obligation to thank you for coming." ”

"And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that you have donated Β£1 million to us, you have been the largest donor to the event so far, thank you for your support!"

"No thanks, Lady Margaret, I agree with the Conservative Party's policies, and I sincerely hope that the Conservative Party will win, not only for us, but also for the British people!"

Xia Yu said bluntly, and his attitude seemed very sincere.

Margaret's smile widened: "Thank you for recognizing us. This is the greatest encouragement for us!"

......

"Mr. Xia, I would like to ask if you own the Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph?"

After the greetings, Margaret muttered for a moment and suddenly asked.

In her opinion, if you ask for someone, you must have an attitude of begging for someone, and if you need Xia Yu's help and support, you can no longer expect Xia Yu to take the initiative, but she needs to show a positive attitude to make the request successful, and too many detours will only backfire.

"Yes, both newspapers were just acquired. ”

Xia Yu replied with a smile.

Margaret smiled and solemnly pleaded: "Mr. Xia, I have a request, I wonder if you can ask for your help to let more people know about our Conservative Party policy?"

Xia Yu groaned, looked at Duke Carter Howard, and then at Margaret, feeling that it was enough to serve it for a while, so he smiled and said, "Of course you can!"

Margaret smiled and solemnly grateful: "Thank you for your support, we will remember your generosity, you are a distinguished friend of the Conservative Party, we are honored to have it!"

After receiving Margaret's clear attitude, Xia Yu was also very happy: "It is also my honor to be a friend of the Conservative Party!"

......

After chatting for a while, Margaret left, as the core person of this drinking party, she had to entertain as many important guests as possible, and it was a long time to chat with Xia Yu for seven or eight minutes.

As for Duke Carter Howard, he looked at Xia Yu with appreciation, said a few words to Xia Yu and went to other places.

The goal was achieved, and Xia Yu was also relieved.

Although Margaret's promise is very general, it is effective, after all, when she is not clear about the situation, she cannot make a promise rashly, and many things are not easy to say, both parties need to know it, otherwise it will become a power and property transaction in the open.

Although there is a saying that has spread widely, that is, the face of politicians is the ugliest, and they will change, but it also depends on whom.

For ordinary people, policies may change at any time, but for financiers and supporters like Xia Yu, the Conservative Party does not dare to promise easily, as long as they promise to do their best to achieve it, otherwise if they pit the financiers, this will have a great bad impact on the reputation of the Conservative Party.

Therefore, although Margaret did not make a clear statement, Xia Yu was already satisfied.

The relationship has been set up, and when the time comes, Duke Carter Howard will come forward again, and presumably the affairs of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will be fine.

And the effect of this million pounds and the support of the media is not only on Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, as long as the relationship continues to deepen, there will be more places to use it in the future.

For ordinary people, policies may change at any time, but for financiers and supporters like Xia Yu, the Conservative Party does not dare to promise easily, as long as they promise to do their best to achieve it, otherwise if they pit the financiers, this will have a great bad impact on the reputation of the Conservative Party.

Therefore, although Margaret did not make a clear statement, Xia Yu was already satisfied。。。。。
