Three days later, the night sky was full of stars, and it was clear that tomorrow would be a good day.

The Royal Hotel in London, a luxury hotel run by a large British family, is holding a heart-wrenching reception here tonight, which is the "political fundraiser" organized by the Conservatives.

The money raised from general politics is used to run for Conservative Party members, as well as to spend on many day-to-day political activities.

At this time, the British House of Commons and the election of important offices in various cities have reached a climax, and this time a special political fund-raising reception was held, and the funds raised were only used for the election.

There is no way, leaving aside the top positions in various places, the British House of Commons alone has 650 seats, and the Conservative Party is fiercely competing with other parties, and there are too many places to use money, and it is difficult to meet the assets owned by the Conservative Party and the candidates in various regions alone, so they can only raise money from the society.

At this moment, Xia Yu had already entered with an invitation, and he didn't bring Li Qian.

After all, I don't know what Duke Carter Howard thinks, he actually asked Elena and Xia Yu to attend the drinking party together, and Xia Yu also learned from Elena that this was the first time she participated in such a solemn political drinking party.

After coming in, Xia Yu realized that he was the only yellow person in the audience, and as far as the eye could see, they were all gentlemen and ladies in suits and leather shoes, and he didn't know any of them, as for Duke Carter Howard and Margaret Thatcher, who heard that he was going to appear, they were not there at this time.

Elena also didn't know these people, but it didn't matter, she was the daughter of Duke Carter Howard after all, so there were always people who recognized her, and when they saw her walking with Xia Yu, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Of course, Xia Yu's existence was seen by many people, and they secretly wondered who he was.

Fortunately, just when Xia Yu and Elena were embarrassed, Duke Carter Howard finally appeared.

And the two people next to him who talked and laughed with him, one was only about forty years old, a middle-aged handsome man in the prime of life, and the other was an old man in his fifties and sixties, but Xia Yu observed that this old man was dressed very luxuriously, and it seemed that he was no worse than Duke Carter Howard, and he should also be a nobleman.

I saw Duke Carter Howard and the two people next to him walking in front of Xia Yu and Elena, first nodded to Xia Yu with a smile, and then said to Elena: "Elena, when did you arrive?"

"Dad, we've been there for more than ten minutes, and we can't find you even if we want to find you. ”

Elena said softly.

"I'm really sorry, I happen to have something. ”

After explaining apologetically, Carter Howard introduced Xia Yu and Elena to the two beside him.

"This is my daughter Elena, next to him is named Xia Yu, my daughter's boss, a friend of the Howard family, from Xiangjiang. ”

Hearing Carter Howard's introduction, the two people beside him couldn't help but look at Xia Yu carefully, and they were a little surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect this young Xiangjiang Chinese to be recognized by the Howard family.

"This is Duke Cavendis!"

Carter Howard first introduced the old man, which made Xia Yu couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't expect him to be a duke.

Since the last time he asked Wu Hongyi about the Howard family, Xia Yu specially learned about the aristocratic pattern of the United Kingdom, the surname Cavendish and the duke title is only one, in Devon, and the title of the Cavendish family is also called the Duke of Devonshire.

The Cavendish family was influential in political and scientific education.

"This is for Gerard Pater, a rising star in the Conservative Party, who is now running for mayor of London!"

Carter Howard introduced the younger blonde middle-aged handsome guy again, and Xia Yu couldn't help but be surprised, he finally remembered who this was, and he had read about him in the newspaper before.

Now that the British election campaign has reached its climax, only two months will be seen, and all parties are preparing for the final effort, and the important position of mayor of London has naturally become the target of fierce competition among all parties.

The Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats have all invested a lot of money and resources, but the hope of Liberal Democratic candidate Jack Padro is slim, with a recent poll showing 21% of the vote.

Because Labour was still in office at this time, it had more convenience, so despite the disappointment of the public, Labour's candidate for mayor of London, Nick Kisson, came first with 40% of the vote.

As for the Conservative Party's candidate for mayor of London, it is none other than Gerald Pat, who has 39% of the vote, a slight gap behind Nick Keeson.

Of course, this vote rate and ranking are only temporary, because there are still many voters who have not voted at this time, and now the votes of the three candidates are only a proportion of the votes that have been cast.

If Jack Padero of the Liberal Democratic Party rises against the sky, it is not impossible to overtake, although this probability is very low, but in history, it is not a typical example of a Jedi turnaround.

"Hello, Sir Cavendish Spirit, I'm Xia Yu from Xiangjiang, and it's an honor to meet you!"

"Hello, Mr. Gerald, I wish you success in your election!"

......

Probably because of Duke Carter Howard, Duke Cavendish and Gerald Parker have a friendly attitude towards Xia Yu.

Especially Duke Cavendish looked at Xia Yu's gaze a little strangely, and just when Xia Yu couldn't help but want to ask, he heard him say gently: "Mr. Xia, I heard Carter say that you are a genius, and I hope that the Financial Times can resound in your hands around the world." ”

Hearing his words, Xia Yu was surprised, and a conjecture floated in his heart, so he heard Duke Carter Howard say with a smile: "Mr. Xia, the Pearson Group is the property of the Cavendish family. ”

I see!

I didn't expect there to be such a relationship!

It seems that it was Carter Howard who greeted Duke Cavendish in the first place, which allowed him to successfully buy the Financial Times Group in the hands of Pearson.

"Thank you, Lord Sir, please look back, you will not be disappointed!"

Xia Yu said gratefully.

Duke Cavendish smiled kindly.

After that, Xia Yu seized the opportunity to use the light of Duke Carter Howard to constantly expand his contacts.

Those who are eligible to participate in the reception are either important members of the Conservative Party and political stars, or powerful people, such as British aristocrats or wealthy businessmen, knowing these people is of great benefit to Xia Yu, and it didn't take long for Xia Yu to exchange for a large stack of business cards.

All this was seen by Duke Carter Howard and others, and they did not object, but felt in their hearts that Xia Yu was a person who was good at seizing opportunities.

Soon, Xia Yu saw Margaret Thatcher, the leader of the Conservative Party, appear, and the reception officially began.
