"Mr. Xia, your business is so big, I am ignorant, and I didn't realize that there is such a big man in London."

Gerald Pater said it sincerely, with a hint of flattery that seemed quite natural.

Thick-skinned is the basic skill of a politician. As one of the rising political stars in the Conservative Party, Gerald Pater is naturally not bad in this regard. After knowing the details of Xia Yu at this time, his attitude became very enthusiastic, but he did not will look awkward.

Xia Yu smiled lightly, feeling very normal, and Gerard Pat's attitude was exactly what he needed.

"Mr. Gerrard, I just came to London, and I usually work at the Chinese Commercial Bank. Today is the second time I have attended a large-scale reception. The first time was not long ago. It was the year-end reception of the British Chinese Business Association, so you I don't know if I'm normal."

Gerard Pat's heart moved, and he asked calmly: "Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to be a member of the Chinese Business Association. I remember that the chairman of the Chinese Business Association is Mr. Wu Chengde."

"Yes, I'm good friends with his grandson, and it was he who introduced me to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce some time ago, brazenly pretending to be an honorary director."

Xia Yu explained in a kind manner, and inadvertently revealed another aspect of his influence.

Sure enough, when he heard Xia Yu's words, Gerald Pater paid more and more attention to Xia Yu in his heart, and his attitude became a little more enthusiastic unconsciously.

Xia Yu and Gerald Pater both have their own thoughts, and can feel what the other is thinking. The hypocritical two will naturally take the initiative to find topics, so they chat very happily, even Duke Carter Howard, Ai Lena and Duke Cavendish didn't know when they went to other places.

"Mr. Gerald, not long after I came to the UK, I have a feeling that the Chinese seem to be living relatively independent lives, and they are not very involved in politics. The British government has no obvious policy on ethnic minorities. Is that so?"

Xia Yu raised another topic.

When it comes to ethnic minorities and politics, Gerard Patt has to answer solemnly. After all, he is a politician. If he really becomes the mayor of London later, this is also a problem he has to face.

What's more, he also knew Xia Yu's identity. As soon as this question came out, Gerald Pater would naturally think about the investigation, and wanted to state his point of view to Xia Yu, in order to gain his opinion. Approved.

"Mr. Xia, this is indeed the case. Although the government's policies are aimed at improving people's livelihood, developing the economy and easing social conflicts, it is impossible to cover everything due to issues such as funds and personnel energy. Issues are raised in parliament, and only after they are approved will they be submitted to the government for approval.”

"For ethnic minorities, whether they are Asians or Africans, we outsiders don't even know what policies they need, and Asians' political participation is not high, especially the Chinese, who have basically given up politics. Life and rights, we worked hard on that, but it's a shame, so I'm sorry the UK government has let you down."

Speaking of which, Gerald Pat shrugged helplessly, with an apologetic expression on his face.

To be honest, for Asians, especially the more special Chinese, whether it is the Conservative Party, the Labour Party or the Liberal Democrats, they have tried their best to win their support and votes.

But unfortunately, the Chinese are very xenophobic. After several political parties have worked hard, they found that no matter who they are, they will simply give up. If these voters do not exist, everyone is still on the same starting line.

Of course, if the Chinese are willing to change, I believe that the three political parties will actively try to win over them.

I saw Xia Yudan smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Gerrard, you don't have to be sorry, it's really our own willingness to say it, maybe it's a cultural issue, Chinese people generally don't have a high degree of political participation."

"But I think that since we live in the UK, we must adapt to the British environment. Political life and rights are owned by every citizen. If we don't speak up ourselves, then we can't blame others if we have a bad life.

"

"I think Chinese Americans should and can make changes."

Speaking of which, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Gerald Pat.

Gerard Pat's glasses lit up, and his heart fluttered.

Xia Yu is not an ordinary Chinese. It can be said that he is the most influential person among the Chinese. He is also friends with the Wu family. If he is really willing to make efforts to let the Chinese support him to run for mayor and support the Conservative Party, then absolutely Able to pull the ticket gap far!

This is a huge opportunity!

Gerard Pat said with a big smile: "Mr. Xia, I agree with your point of view very much. If you need me anywhere, please feel welcome."

Xia Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Gerrard, then I'm welcome, I happen to like the policies of the Conservative Party, but there are still many things I don't understand. If I have a chance, I would like to ask you for advice. ."

The deep meaning of Xia Yu's words was heard by Gerald Pat. He was a little excited. This was Xia Yu throwing an olive branch at him. As long as he took the opportunity to satisfy Xia Yu, he could gain the support of Xia Yu and even the Chinese. , how could he not be excited?

"Mr. Xia, are you free tomorrow? It just so happens that the bluefin tuna I ordered will be delivered to my house tomorrow. My wife is good at cooking."

Gerard Pat made an excuse and asked expectantly.

Xia Yu is also a qualified actor, showing an unexpected smile: "Really? I prefer bluefin tuna, so I'm welcome."

"It is my honor that you are willing to come!"

"Where am I going to pick you up tomorrow afternoon?"

Gerald Pat hurriedly asked.

"Then I'll trouble you. Tomorrow I will be at the Chinese Commercial Bank in the City of London."

"Okay, I'll be there when the time comes!"

Xia Yu finished speaking with a smile, chatted a few more words with Gerard Pat, and then stopped.

He looked over at the fundraiser, where it was no longer crowded, and said to Gerald Pater, "Mr. Gerald, I'll go do my part for the Conservative Party first."

"Thank you, you are busy first!"

Gerard Patt bowed slightly and said gratefully, although the money donated by Xia Yu may not fall on him, but the Conservative Party has helped him.

Xia Yu did not leave immediately, but in front of Gerald Pat, took out a stack of blank checks from Huashang Bank from his inner pocket, picked up a pen and wrote it on the spot.

Xia Yu wrote a 1 and six 0s without hesitation, and then signed his name.

All of this was seen by Gerald Pat. When he saw Xia Yu lightly writing a check for one million pounds, he was immediately shocked, and the importance of Xia Yu in his heart was raised several levels again.

A donation of one million pounds is enough to become the highest donation amount for this reception, and Xia Yu was able to donate it at will.

From a glimpse of the leopard, Gerard Pat has a clearer concept of Xia Yu's strength.

Sure enough, it is a golden thigh, and it is not a chicken leg, but an elephant leg!

Now this golden thigh is naked in front of him, tomorrow must seize the opportunity!

If this one million pounds supports him, no, he only needs half a million pounds, and he can organize more than ten large-scale political events. With the promotion of the media, he can definitely widen the gap with Nick Keeson.

Gerald Pat's performance was caught in Xia Yu's eyes, but he pretended he didn't notice it, smiled at him, and walked to the donation desk in his sighing eyes.

A million pounds? how?

For this kind of donation that may be exchanged for huge benefits, more is not an exaggeration. If you don't donate so much, how can you calm Gerald Pat? How to attract Margaret Thatcher?

If she can completely tie Margaret Thatcher, let alone one million pounds, as long as she dares to take it, Xia Yu will dare to give one hundred million pounds!
