With a light rain falling from the streets of London and a cloudy sky, the Industrial Revolution brought prosperity to the city, but it also left a legacy of irreparable disaster.

Huang Deping rented a private house in the suburbs of the north of the city: a three-story small western-style building with courtyards in the front and back, which is actually a small villa. Because of the big stakes and the inconvenience of staying in the hotel, this is the temporary base camp of everyone in the UK.

However, when Li Yadong agrees, it is easy to say that everything else is good when living in the hotel, and the main thing is that he needs to brainstorm and hold a meeting or something from time to time, which is a little troublesome.

Huang Deping has always been reliable, the villa hired four maids to take care of everyone's daily diet, as well as cleaning, three black Rolls-Royce with drivers parked outside the door, also rented, convenient for everyone to travel usually.

After a tiring journey, after a day of rest in the villa, Li Yadong began to do serious things, the British have some etiquette, he doesn't know too much, but like Huang Deping and Jack, who grew up under the halo of the Queen of England, they know very well.

Jack went out early in the morning and went to Leyland as a senior representative of the company to communicate about the meeting of senior leaders.

He went and came back quickly, bringing back a surprising news: the top management of Leyland refused to meet with Li Yadong.

It's so weird and totally unconscionable.

You must know that Li Yadong is not Huang Deping, as the boss of Hong Kong Dongfanghong Group, he came in person, full of sincerity, and as a seller, he wanted to meet with the senior management of Lelan Company, which was selling property, but was refused?

It doesn't make sense or reason.

Normally, when a buyer comes to the door, they should sweep the couch to greet them.

Not to mention their discrimination against Chinese, Li Yadong did not disclose his identity at all, and seeing that the other party was so sloppy, he probably would not investigate his background in detail.

For Hong Kong people, the British should not have the idea of discrimination, in the past 89 years, including now, Hong Kong is their colony, to a large extent part of them, Hong Kong in recent years has risen Chinese, the acquisition of British assets, there are countless examples.

"I'm afraid there's something else in this, something we don't know. In the living room of the villa, Huang Deping frowned and said.

In fact, there is no need for him to say this, everyone can see it.

"Don't they have the idea of selling their property to foreign capital at all?" asked Jack, scratching his head, and he was not happy when he ran to Leland in the morning, but ended up eating a closed door.

"Nope. Huang Deping waved his hand, "According to the information I know, they already have some real estate under their umbrella, which has been bought by the Finns and Spaniards, but the scale is not large. ”

"What's the reason for that, a seller comes to the door, and he still doesn't want to see it, it's unreasonable. "A room full of people is puzzled.

"Deping. Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yadong, who had been sitting on the yellow cowhide sofa and had not spoken, turned his head sideways and asked, "What is the specific content of the letter you handed them before, do you remember?"

"Of course. Huang Deping nodded.

"That's good. Li Yadong pointed to the pen and paper on the glass coffee table, and motioned: "Rewrite it again, try not to leave a single word." ”

"Good. Although Huang Deping was a little unclear, he still complied, and he used Chinese very carefully.

About ten minutes later, Li Yadong held an A4 paper covered with handwriting and read it carefully.

There is nothing wrong with the wording of this "greeting post", first introducing his origin, and then saying that his company has a strong interest in some of their company's car brands, and hopes to negotiate with them specifically.

What went wrong? Could it be that these British have begun to look down on even the Hong Kong people? Li Yadong thought to himself.

"Deping, I remember you told me before that there seems to be no other company that has expressed interest in the car brands of Leyland, is there no interest, or is it like us, who wants to negotiate but is refused?"

"This ...... I really don't know. Huang Deping shook his head.

Things in the mall are always good news and not bad news, just like the Ford Group, if they send someone to buy Leyland, but in the end they are closed, they are embarrassed to say it?

"Grandma is a bear!" Li Yadong couldn't help but be angry, he knew that this was the case, he wouldn't come, he ran over thousands of miles away, and specially brought a team, but now he can't even enter the other party's door, what do you call this.

"Boss, it's my fault. Huang Deping said with an embarrassed face.

"No, I don't blame you, you're doing a good job, I'm angry with that Bird Lilan Company. Li Yadong waved his hand.

"What do we do now, boss?" asked Jack weakly.

What to do, cold salad!

The more Li Yadong thought about it, the more angry he became, Britain was not their home field at all, and coming here was like a grasshopper with a broken leg, unable to jump up at all.

Let's just say that Li Yadong, as the only English illiterate person on the scene, if he is still in the center of London, I am afraid that he will not be able to find it back.

What could he do in such a situation?

But if he wants to go home like this, he is really unwilling.

Dog's day, things didn't get done, the boat was tired, and I was holding back the fire in my belly, for you, can you be happy?

But as a leader, no matter how helpless you are, you can't show it, because once you show that you haven't withdrawn, let alone the people below.

"Well, let's take a break, and I'll make a few phone calls. ”

As he said this, he walked briskly back to the room, which made the people in the living room suddenly reassured, guessing that the boss must have some way to pry open the big iron lump that no one should enter in the Leland Company.

And in fact, where does Li Yadong have any way?

His international connections and influence are about zero.

He sat at the desk in the master bedroom, brooding with his cheek in thought. If a person is in a foreign country and encounters any trouble, there are two things that are most likely to come to mind. One is one's own relatives, and the other is one's own country.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that his relatives cannot help him, so it is natural for him to think of the country.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally persuaded himself with the idea that "if this matter is successful, it will also be of great benefit to the country", opened the small telephone book he carried with him, and went to Kong Siqing of the General Office of the Central Committee to make a phone call.

The capital is eight hours faster than London, and it's ten o'clock in the morning here, and it's dinner time there.

Originally, I tried my luck, but I didn't think about it, but the phone rang twice and was connected.

Kong Siqing was surprised to hear that he was in the UK and was interested in acquiring a British car brand, and even his voice revealed excitement.

This is something that the country wants to do, but because of the problem of face and economic strength, it has never been able to do it.

"Comrade Xiao Li, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and I believe that the chief will be happy to see it come true when he asks the old man. If you can really take down a British car brand, the role of the country's industrial development is immeasurable!"

"yes, that's what I thought, too. Li Yadong said with a smile.

"Then you call me...... Didn't you run into some trouble?" Kong Siqing was undoubtedly a person with a lively mind, and he quickly guessed his purpose.

"Isn't it?" Li Yadong said, and told the story from beginning to end.

"I see......"

Kong Siqing was silent for a while, and then asked, "It means that you basically don't know anything about the situation on the side of Leland Company now, and the other party unreasonably refused to meet, so things are frozen here?"

"Exactly. Li Yadong said: "We are now in a very embarrassing situation in the UK, and we want to understand the situation of Lelan Company, and then prescribe the right medicine, but there is no way." The reason why I called you this is to use the power of the state to see if I can get some help from the embassy. ”

"I see. Kong Siqing replied: "This matter is very important, I will report it to the chief immediately, I believe that his old man will definitely make arrangements, you wait for my news." ”

"Good. After Li Yadong told his contact information here, he hung up the phone.

There is really no withdrawal, and the rest is only waiting.

……

Li Yadong does not reject Western food, but he can't eat three meals a day, he is used to eating whole grains, sausages, bread and bacon, these things, there is always a feeling that he can't eat enough.

Huang Deping and Jack don't care, they eat very sweetly, Hong Kong has been enslaved by the British for eighty or ninety years, and some living habits have long been indistinguishable from each other.

Li Yadong didn't care about them, he couldn't find rice, so he made a bowl of noodles with himself, the kitchen was open, everyone gathered in the living room, and the skillful technique made everyone present look at each other, especially the three women, their eyes were frighteningly bright.

I originally thought it was just a young man with a lot of gold, plus an extraordinary temperament, but now that I look at it, I can actually go down to the kitchen, a man like this is simply a rarity, is there any?

Here's the point, he's not married yet!

Two of the three women were lawyers for the Red Group, and according to what they learned, the boss did not even seem to have a girlfriend.

And one of the two of them is also unmarried, and at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, he is quite beautiful.

The two "sisters" next to her winked at her vigorously, making Chen Qiaoyi look shy.

Wouldn't she want to?

But the point is that the boss's eyes are unusually clear when he looks at her, and there is no distraction at all, if not, as long as the boss hints a little, she is not a fool.

"Joey, the boss seems to have forgotten to fry eggs, aren't you the best at fried eggs, hurry up and help get two?"

Jack is a helpful character, Chen Joey he has known for a long time, a very good girl, appearance, knowledge, and family background are not bad, but the vision is a little high, and his girlfriend is best friends, if you can really match her with the boss, I am afraid I will have to thank him for a lifetime.

Even from the perspective of a man named Jack, their boss is a proper Xibei goods.

is worth hundreds of millions, but he doesn't even have a rumored girlfriend, which is simply conceivable in Hong Kong, do you say Xibei is not Xibei?

Jack thinks he's also a proper man, and if he hadn't noticed that the boss looked at him normally, he would have wondered if the boss was Gay.

"Oh...... Good. Chen Joy gave him a grateful look and hurriedly stepped forward to help fry the eggs.

Li Yadong's resignation failed, so he let her do as she pleased, and could only say in his heart: Girl, I'm really embarrassed.

Before a bowl of noodles was finished, the phone in the living room rang, and Huang Deping was about to answer it, but Li Yadong raised his hand to stop him, "Don't move!"

This made everyone realize that this phone call was not trivial.

Sure enough, after Li Yadong picked it up, he greeted enthusiastically: "Brother Kong, how is it?"

"Comrade Xiao Li, as I thought, the chief and his old man attach great importance to this matter, and even personally hung up the phone to the United Kingdom, asking the embassy to fully cooperate with you, if nothing else, someone will soon come to the door, and if you have any matter, you will order them to handle it. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Yadong couldn't stop feeling excited in his heart, and a portrait of a great man unconsciously appeared in his mind, he really didn't expect the chief to do it so personally because of his affairs.

A trembling voice asked, "Chief...... He's an old man, but what instructions do you have?"

These two words also made the hearts of the other people present who pricked up their ears and couldn't help but shake their hearts.

Chief, a title that seems to be unique to the mainland, refers to the presence of high positions in the central government.

It is no secret that Hong Kong will return to the mainland in 97, everyone on the scene knows it, but I really didn't expect that their boss's network in the mainland has become so strong!

There are people in the government who are easy to do - this is a simple truth that everyone in the mall understands, and their boss's relationship is already in full swing. Does this mean that their company will be indestructible in the future?

As soon as I thought of this, everyone present had a smile on their faces. I became more and more determined to fight to the end in Dongfanghong Group.

"Yes. Kong Siqing on the other end of the phone lowered his voice and said: "The chief said, I hope that Mr. Xiao Li will contribute to this matter at all costs, and the motherland will remember your contributions." ”

At this moment, Li Yadong really felt like tears in his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Brother Kong to tell the chief, I, Li Yadong, will do my best to make a difference, and I hope to live up to my mission." ”

"Okay, I'll bring it. ”
