Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Ambassador Qian, thank you for coming here!"

"Hey, President Wu, you have seen the outside world. It is a great regret in life to miss such a grand reception. It is our honor to receive your invitation!"

Just when Wu Chengde and Qian Wenchao were touting each other, Wu Hongyi and Xia Yu came together.

When almost everyone was shy away, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi approached, and they naturally stood out. Of course, Qian Wenchao noticed it. He squinted his head, and when he saw Xia Yu, his eyes lit up and his smile became even brighter.

"Ambassador Qian, it's my grandson Hongyi and his friend Xia Yu."

Wu Chengde took the opportunity to introduce, but he didn't expect Xia Yu and Qian Wenchao to know each other, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

"Hello, Mr. Ambassador, I'm Wu Hongyi!"

"Ambassador Qian, it's been a long time since I saw you. At this time, you still look good!"

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

Qian Wenchao took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Yu, especially when he shook hands with Xia Yu, he stepped up his strength. Obviously, he was very happy to see Xia Yu again.

Although he had long known that Xia Yu was in London, Xia Yu did not take the initiative to come to him, nor did he have a suitable opportunity to invite Xia Yu, so this was the first time they met.

"Mr. Xia, I've been wanting to chat with you for a long time, and seeing that you're too busy to disturb you, this time I'll take advantage of President Wu's light, but I have to have a good conversation."

"Ambassador Qian, it's my fault. I didn't go to your place when I came to London. I take this opportunity to apologize to you first."

"Hey, I can't say that. Career is more important. You can come and sit with me at any time, but some business can't be delayed. For example, your acquisition of the "Financial Times" has greatly increased my Chinese face, congratulations!"

Qian Wenchao said with emotion, looking at Xia Yu with admiration.

Xia Yu's acquisition of the Financial Times Group can hide it from the general public, but it can't hide it from people who have reached a certain level, like Qian Wenchao will definitely know.

And he knew it well. When he learned that Duke Howard greeted Xia Yu for help, Qian Wenchao specially learned about Elena and Henry who appeared beside Xia Yu, and was secretly shocked by the contacts Xia Yu suddenly gained.

Of course, the shock is followed by a heartfelt joy. After all, this is very beneficial to Xia Yu, as can be seen from the acquisition of the Financial Times Group from the Pearson Group.

And as he said, this act has greatly increased the face of the Chinese. It can be said that the Chinese have achieved unprecedented achievements in the British media industry. With the Financial Times Group, Xia Yu's influence will spread rapidly, which is extremely important to Xia Yu. Impact.

Xia Yu's position is pro-mainland, he has benefited, of course Qian Wenchao is happy for Xia Yu!

"Ambassador Qian is right, Mr. Xia, your acquisition of the Financial Times Group made me so excited that I couldn't sleep for several days, you have done what all of us Chinese in the UK can't do, and you have done it so well. Well, for this, I can only admire it!"

Wu Chengde also said with admiration at this time.

Of course, what he said was half-truth, he really couldn't sleep, but not because he was excited for Xia Yu, but was shocked, shocked by Xia Yu's achievements, as well as the connections and energy revealed.

For this reason, his attitude towards Xia Yu quietly changed again in his heart, and at the same time he asked Wu Hongyi to communicate with Xia Yu more and have a good relationship.

"Mr. Wu, Ambassador Qian, I really don't deserve your praise. It just happens to be a meeting. I didn't expect this to be acquired."

...

Xia Yu first said something modestly, and then he began to deliberately change the topic. After all, the center of the topic came to him now, and he had to pay attention to the suspicion that he was taking over.

The exchanges between Wu Chengde, Qian Wenchao, Xia Yu and other small groups were noticed by the people around them. Seeing Xia Yu chatting with them, many people were secretly shaking, and they re-emphasized the weight of Xia Yu who just appeared on the Internet. Raised a few grades.

Then, Wu Chengde took Qian Wenchao, Xia Yu and others to the VIP seat. By this time, everyone was almost there, and it was close to the good time. It was time to start the ceremony.

Wu Chengde arranged for Qian Wenchao and Xia Yu to be at the top of the VIP seats, in the middle of the first row, and arranged the two together intimately.

Xia Yu sat in such an important position and received such special treatment, and combined with his impressive age, it naturally attracted the attention of the audience. Many people secretly inquired about Xia Yu's information, and those in the know immediately informed him.

Soon, more and more people knew about Xia Yu.

"Xia Yu, I might want you to come on stage to say a few words, talk about your experience, and say a few blessings. What do you think?"

After Xia Yu was seated, Wu Hongyi quietly came to Xia Yu's side and whispered.

Xia Yu was a little surprised, but seeing that Wu Hongyi didn't seem to be joking, thinking of the various benefits of coming to power, he smiled and said gratefully: "No problem, listen to your arrangements!"

"Okay, I'll let you know in advance when it's almost time!"

Seeing that Xia Yu agreed, Wu Hongyi said with a smile, and then left to connect.

Before the official start of the reception, Xia Yu had nothing to do, so he chatted with Qian Wenchao in a low voice.

"Mr. Xia, we haven't seen each other for half a year. Your career is getting bigger and bigger, and my knowledge is not too small, but when it comes to business, I only admire you!"

"Especially your achievements in the media industry are astounding. You are the only one who can do this through the ages!"

Qian Wenchao touted Xia Yu, in fact, this is what he said in his heart. As a political elite, he can represent the country in the UK, the second largest country in Europe and the United States, and his ability is evident. How can he not know the influence of the media industry?

The general media industry is an industry that can influence the regime in various countries, and the control is extremely strict. Xia Yu was able to establish a cartel in the media industry from that small place in Xiangjiang, and now he has successfully penetrated into the United Kingdom. too much.

Qian Wenchao could completely imagine the importance of Xia Yu in the eyes of the top leaders in mainland China.

Although he has already received news that the country has set a path for economic development and needs foreign capital to invest in China, the influence and importance of the media are more than capital.

He knew the extent to which Huaxia was smeared in the world. The greater Xia Yu's influence in the media industry, the more beneficial it would be to Huaxia. The crisis could be resolved at a critical moment.

And this kind of advantage, only Xia Yu, a Chinese in the world, has it, and it is irreplaceable.

On the contrary, it is funds. Although it may be difficult, there are many more people to attract funds. Even if Xia Yu does not invest, there are others who will invest.

Facing Qian Wenchao's flattery, Xia Yu smiled lightly and said, "Ambassador Qian, this is actually a last resort. No matter how big a country or a company or an individual is, they cannot lose their right to speak up, so the media industry I have to do it, even if I lose money."

"Unlike other people, they can make money in any industry. There is no need to be as persistent as me. If they are willing to go all out in the media industry, where will they get me."

"Mr. Xia, you have always been so humble!"

"But I agree with what you said. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has been smeared and treated unfairly. If there are ten people like you in the world, the media in Europe and the United States will not be too much. The external environment we face will be greatly improved!”

Qian Wenchao was very emotional. Thinking of the hardships and hardships that New China has encountered in the past few decades, he felt the deepest, but also the most helpless, as a diplomat.

Xia Yu was silent for a moment, and said with some emotion: "Yeah, unfair treatment and bullying by public opinion are everywhere. After all, we have no means of countermeasures. If we have a certain amount of power, they will not dare to do whatever they want."

"Ambassador Qian, I am a Chinese with roots in China. Although due to objective reasons, I cannot let the media of my company turn to China, but at least I will be fair!"

Qian Wenchao immediately became happy and said gratefully: "Mr. Xia, it is enough to have your words. I, China, have gone from being poor and white to the present without lack of energy and perseverance. I firmly believe that as long as there is a fair environment, I am a Chinese nation. Can defeat all opponents! Work hard for everything you want!"

"Mr. Xia, I can't do anything else. I can only wish your business to grow bigger and bigger. If there is anything I can do, you can come to me at any time. I will never refuse!"

Qian Wenchao's words are extremely firm. This is his attitude, and it is also Huaxia's attitude. It just happened to be a meeting, and he said it out of his mouth.

As one of the few people who have friendship with Xia Yu, and Xia Yu came to the UK again, Qian Wenchao certainly knew some secret things that were specially told by high-level officials. There is absolutely no problem with the position, of course it is my own.

There is no need to cover up a lot of words when dealing with your own people.

Xia Yu was very satisfied with Qian Wenchao's words. He moved in his heart and said to Qian Wenchao, "Ambassador Qian, I will definitely visit you at the embassy in two days."

Qian Wenchao's eyes flashed, and he knew that Xia Yu had something inappropriate to say here, so he planned to say it face to face, so he smiled and nodded immediately and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you!"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, glanced at the big stage, and said softly, "The ceremony has begun."

Qian Wenchao nodded in understanding, no more words, and looked at the stage quietly.

I saw a row of seats on it, and it was full of people. Everyone had a name sign in front of them, and Wu Chengde sat in the middle.

At this time, there was also a speech box on the edge of the stage, and Wu Hongyi was standing there, obviously playing the role of the host.

"... Next, Mr. Wu Chengde, chairman of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce, will give a speech for the opening of this chamber of commerce!"

"Clap clap clap..."

In a burst of fierce applause, Wu Hongyi stepped down from the stage and stood aside, Wu Chengde came to the seat of the speech, first bowed slightly to the audience, and then began to speak.

"Hello everyone, first of all, please allow me to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders, guests and all the members who are here during their busy schedules on behalf of the Council of British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association!"

"Clap clap clap..."

"In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. In the past year, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has achieved excellent results in development, among which 18 new members have been developed. They are... According to statistics, the total assets of the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce exceeded 30 billion for the first time. Sterling, the results are extremely gratifying... I hope that in the new year, everyone will continue to unite and cooperate, go hand in hand, and the business will be prosperous.

"Thirty billion pounds?"

When Xia Yu heard the data mentioned by Wu Chengde, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but recite the number silently.

He did not expect that the British Chinese Business Association would already have such strength, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

Although it is not as strong as Heung Kong Chinese, considering the density and number of British Chinese businessmen, it is already very valuable to have such strength!

Of course, Xia Yu also knew that these 30 billion pounds refers to total assets, not net assets. The total assets of 30 billion pounds, after removing liabilities, etc., it is estimated that a net asset of 5 billion pounds is very high.

However, in this society, what is more important is how much resources can be controlled. What determines influence is not net assets, but total assets. When calculating personal wealth, we will look more at net assets.

"With the total assets of 30 billion pounds, if the British Chinese businessmen can unite and form a Chinese-funded consortium with the Huashang Bank as the core, the combat effectiveness will definitely rise to a higher level. Although it cannot be said to compete with the major British family consortia, self-protection is still impossible. questionable!"

Xia Yu thought to himself.

There are already chambers of commerce. As long as it is established that Huashang Bank is the core capital revolving bank of major Chinese-funded enterprises, the prototype of the consortium will automatically form. When an opportunity is found, the Chinese-funded consortium may be able to take shape directly.

"For me now, the Wu family can still help, but if I can't keep up, it will be useless to me sooner or later. In the UK, I need a reliable ally. The best thing is to promote the establishment of a Chinese-funded consortium, and then become a an important part of it.”

"It seems that I have to talk to Hongyi later. As long as Wu Chengde finds out, I don't believe that he is not interested!"

Just when Xia Yu was pondering, Wu Chengde did not know when he had stepped down, and a vice chairman came to the stage to give a report, describing the achievements and goals in his specific area of ​​responsibility, and finally ended with a good outlook for the future.

...

"Next, we will invite several important guests to speak for us. First of all, let us invite Mr. Qian Wenchao, the Chinese ambassador to the UK. Welcome!"

"Clap clap clap..."

...

After Qian Wenchao came to power, Wu Hongyi came to Xia Yu and told Xia Yu that he was coming soon. Sure enough, after Qian Wenchao's three-minute brief speech, Wu Hongyi read Xia Yu's title on it.

Only this time, Wu Hongyi thought for a long time.

"Next, let's invite an important guest. Many friends present should have heard of him for the first time. He is the chairman of Jiuding Culture Media Group, the chairman of Jiuding Financial Group, the chairman of Jiuding Real Estate Group, and the chairman of Jiuding. Chairman of the Retail Group and the second largest shareholder of China Commercial Bank, Mr. Xia Yuxia, let us warmly welcome you!"

After Wu Hongyi finished reading in one breath, he looked at Xia Yu, nodded with a smile, Xia Yu stood up with a smile, and walked into the speech box amid whispered discussions and shock.

"I just went to Xiangjiang some time ago. I know who he is. The helm of the Jiuding Consortium, the famous stock god of Xiangjiang, the Jardine Consortium that has defeated more than 100 years, is a rare business genius!"

"You mean that the Jardine Consortium of the British-owned First Consortium in the Far East was defeated by him? My God, it seems that the Jardine Consortium is much stronger than the Wu family, doesn't that mean that none of us is richer than him?"

"Tsk tsk, it's hard to imagine, it seems that he is an important guest, and he is also the second largest shareholder of Huashang Bank. It seems that the Wu family has an unusual relationship with him, and the strength of the Wu family is stronger."

"Having such achievements at such a young age, I feel like I've lived like a dog when I compare him. I don't know what he has to offer in the future. It would be nice if I had some hard stuff, and see if I could learn something. "

Not to mention the following, even the eight or nine most powerful directors of the Chinese Business Association on the stage all turned their eyes to Xia Yu, who came up calmly and calmly, and then glanced at Wu Chengde, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, each with his own thoughts. .
