Chapter 461: Overseas Chinese New Year's Eve

Liu Ying's father, Liu Jianwei, is a professor at a local university in Hebei Province, although he is also a high-level intellectual, he is familiar with the foreign language of Russian, and he still temporarily learned some English before going abroad.

In order to prevent illegal immigration, British customs has been particularly cautious of passengers from China and visiting the UK for the first time in recent years, and even many passengers with one-way tickets will be refused entry outright.

Liu Jianwei and his wife repeatedly checked the staff like thieves at the checkpoint, and the little English conversation they learned abroad quickly ran out of words, and it was thanks to Shen Huai who took the trouble to help them communicate with the customs officers, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Shen Huai didn't expect that he would leave a good impression on Wu Kangjie and Liu Ying, so that the atmosphere was very harmonious when they first contacted each other.

In addition to their daughter Liu Ying marrying into the wealthy Wu family during her study abroad, Liu Jianwei's eldest son Liu He also came to the UK to study in his early years, and Wu Kangjie studied at the University of London.

After returning to China, Liu He joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as a senior secretary at the embassy in the United Kingdom, and he can be regarded as an elite figure in the younger generation.

After Sun Qishan met with Wu Wenxiong, he took a dusk flight back to Paris.

The British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association has been established for a relatively short time, less than five years, and its members have developed less than 90 Chinese business enterprises in the UK.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held at the Chinese Friendship Center in London's Chinatown, and in addition to representatives of Chinese businessmen, overseas Chinese living in the UK, and representatives of overseas students studying abroad, Ambassador to the UK Zhang Zhicheng and other officials, including Liu Ying's brother Liu He, were also invited to attend today's dinner.

Shen Huai and Cheng Yi didn't know Zhang Zhicheng, the ambassador to the UK, so it was inconvenient for them to get over to get in touch.

Although he couldn't say anything in front of the older generation of Chinese businessmen, accompanied by Wu Kangjie and Liu Ying, Shen Huai and the younger generation of Chinese businessmen who participated in the dinner were also harmonious.

The dinner party has always been a gathering of the older generation of Chinese businessmen and embassy officials, and a gathering of the younger generation.

Most of the children of Chinese businessmen attending today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner are about the same age as Shen Huai, and they are also the ones who are regarded as successors to the family. Other children who are uneducated or unmotivated in their careers have their own fun on Chinese New Year's Eve, and they will not come to such a serious dinner party to join in the excitement and waste their time for timely enjoyment.

Although most of the children of Chinese businessmen attending the dinner tonight have successively taken up positions in family businesses or related profit-making or public welfare organizations, and the starting point is much higher than that of ordinary employees, when it comes to career achievements, Shen Huai has single-handedly promoted the rise of a group with an annual output of nearly one million tons of steel, forming a considerable industrial chain group in the local area, and Sun Yalin has an investment company with a total asset scale of 40 or 50 million US dollars, which is far from being comparable to the children of ordinary Chinese businessmen.

However, although Meigang plays a pivotal role in Donghua City and has made great achievements, it is still very inconspicuous in the world, and the Chinese businessmen in London cannot pay much attention to Meigang's achievements.

If it weren't for Sun Yalin's previous financing for the project, which she repeatedly ran around in France, Britain and other places, it would be impossible for most people to hear Mei Gang's name.

Wu Kangjie either made up for his previous judgment mistakes, or because of the pleasant conversation in the afternoon, or because his parents-in-law were patiently helped by Shen Huai at the airport and left a good impression, or both, at the dinner, he spared no effort to help introduce the achievements of Meigang in recent years.

Because of the relationship between the Wu family and Wu Kangjie's own hard work, he has a very high status in the circle of Chinese businessmen in the UK, and his words are relatively heavy.

For a while, everyone turned the topic to Meigang, and Shen Huai naturally used his best skills to introduce the development of Meigang and Meixi to these children of Chinese businessmen who are interested in doing a career but are still in the early stage of career development, and also communicate with you about the situation of the closed industrial fund invested by Zhongxin.

Time flies, the dinner party ends quickly, and although many people are still unsatisfied, most of them go home to reunite with their loved ones on Chinese New Year's Eve. Shen Huai and Sun Yalin also said goodbye to Wu Kangjie, made an appointment to meet again in the future, and returned to the hotel with Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli.

Back at the hotel, it was still early, Shen Huai, Sun Yalin and Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli went to the bar on the top floor to continue drinking and spend Chinese New Year's Eve.

Shut down

"When some officials in Qinghe visit the UK, they will also organize activities to attract investment, but I feel that your rhetoric is a little different from that of other officials. ”

Yu Wenli had contact with Shen Huai on the last trip back to China, and everyone had a very unpleasant quarrel that time, and Shen Huai left her impression at first as if she was a very ordinary expatriate engineer.

Although Yu Wenli later knew about Shen Huai's family background and the relationship with Cheng Yi because of the family relationship and had to maintain the current relationship, she did not leave a deep impression on Shen Huai.

After all, the young men and women she usually comes into contact with either have outstanding family backgrounds or outstanding talents, and with the impression of returning to China, she doesn't think there is anything special about Shen Huai.

There is nothing strange about this, there are political and business tycoons at home and abroad, talented and excellent children, there are degenerate, unlearned straw bales, and naturally there are mediocre people with mediocre abilities.

Yu Wenli's previous impression of Shen Huai was to classify him as the last type of person.

Yu Wenli only met Cheng Yi after she went to study in the UK, and saw that in the past two years, there have been many wealthy children who have pursued Cheng Yi, and there are many wealthy talents. She once thought that if Cheng Yi finally chose to marry Shen Huai because of family factors, it would be really not worth it.

However, for the vast majority of people, people need to be compared to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.

Usually see the children of Chinese businessmen in London are personable and talk extraordinary, in Yu Wenli's opinion, almost everyone is a little stronger than Shen Huai, but at today's dinner, Shen Huai's ease and calm contact with all kinds of people, although she can't say anything special, but she can feel that the children of Chinese businessmen who are usually arrogant are weak in front of Shen Huai.

Shen Huai seemed to have a special ability to draw the attention of others to him, even if he looked so suave, as if there was no sharp blade that would not come out of its sheath.

This peculiar impression couldn't help but make Yu Wenli curious about Shen Huai.

Faced with Yu Wenli's question, Shen Huai just smiled and said, "It's just a matter of serving food to people." Qinghe came to Britain to inspect the officials who were attracting investment, and the level of people he came into contact with should be to the point; when I went to London this time, I didn't have any tasks on my side, so I didn't have to be too serious, and no one was staring at me, so I naturally let go and talk nonsense at will. I didn't expect this to bluff you. ”

Cheng Yi sat next to him, smiling and watching Shen Huai and Yu Wenli talk nonsense.

When she went to the UK, she came into contact with many people, and she also had some understanding of overseas Chinese merchant families, and knew that for most of the children of Chinese businessmen who lived a wealthy life and enjoyed the material life of the West, the domestic investment environment was not very attractive to them, and Shen Huai obviously lobbied some people in a targeted manner.

For these children of Chinese businessmen, who are not short of money, going to the mainland to earn millions or even tens of millions of dollars more will not bring them higher material comforts; however, some of them, in addition to enjoying a luxurious material life, actually have a strong sense of power, and deep down they still have the ambition to surpass their parents and do something.

Shen Huai wants to win over these people.

For other officials who went abroad to inspect and attract investment, their eyes were only on one duli project after another, and Shen Huai's goal was obviously higher and farther, and what he wanted was to gather a force.

Shen Huai obviously wouldn't tell Yu Wenli about this thought, so he naturally talked nonsense.

Cheng Yi naturally didn't want to see Shen Huai show off at will in front of every beautiful woman, but thinking that Shen Huai actually didn't mean to tell her what he was thinking, she turned her face to look at the swirling multicolored lights in the bar, and her mind was a little wandering.

Yu Wenli said embarrassedly: "If you don't want to say it, pull it down." It is also inconvenient to ask Shen Huai what he is going to do when he goes to the UK this time.

Shen Huai smiled slightly and asked Cheng Yi: "Why don't you let Yalin help you open two rooms downstairs, you also live here tonight, so you don't have to wait to go back to the dormitory alone?"

Cheng Yi nodded and agreed, there are a lot of New Year's Eve activities tonight, most of the international students are playing crazy outside, they won't go back to the dormitory, and she doesn't want to go back to the dormitory to spend it alone.

At this time, Sun Yalin, who was answering the phone in the aisle outside the bar, walked in, and in the noisy music, she came to Shen Huai's side and talked to Shen Huai.

Cheng Yi will not have any unconfidence in her appearance, while Sun Yalin's tall and sexy figure, comparable to that of a professional model, is something that most beautiful women do not have.

Shen Huai sat on the round stool by the bar, and Sun Yalin stood next to the bar and whispered to him.

Cheng Yi didn't know what they were talking about secretly, but her attention attracted Sun Yalin's long legs:

After Sun Yalin returned to the hotel, she took off the long skirt she attended the dinner party and changed into the trousers she was used to wearing, lining her legs to be extremely slender, with her plump buttocks up and her slender and soft waist, which is the sexy figure that all women aspire to have.

Sun Yalin just received a phone call and got the news that Liang Rongjun and Fan Wenzhi would join hands with Fuji Steel and Evergreen Group to invest in the construction of a million-ton electric furnace steel project in Meixi on the basis of participating in the construction of the second phase of the Meixi Power Plant and the Meixi Port Wharf.

Because Evergreen Group is the key partner selected by Provincial Steel, Sun Yalin got the news from Evergreen Group earlier than Shen Huai.

Shen Huai looked at his watch, it was the early morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, and said to Sun Yalin with a smile: "It seems that this year, they can't have a good life." ”

The music in the bar was very noisy, and Sun Yalin had to lean into Shen Huai's mouth to hear his words clearly, and she also leaned into Shen Huai's ear and asked, "Is it really necessary to drive Tan Qiping away from Donghua?"
