Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

The position of honorary director of the British Chinese Business Association is of great help to Xia Yu. With this identity, he quickly integrated into the Chinese business group.

The membership was introduced by Wu Chengde, not to mention the cooperative relationship between Xia Yu and the Wu family, just because Xia Yu surpassed the strength of the Wu family, if it was just an ordinary member, Wu Chengde himself would not be able to lose face, so After internal discussions, Xia Yu was given the title of honorary director, and the other directors had no opinion.

Because he promised Gerald Patt to call on the Chinese to vote for him, Xia Yu went directly to Wu Chengde and asked him to come forward and summon the top executives of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Xia Yu stated the strong relationship at the meeting, as well as the odds and benefits of the Conservative Party. In the end, Xia Yu's proposal was passed, and the Chinese Business Association took the lead in calling on the Chinese to support the Conservative Party and Gerald Pater.

Of course, this proposal will be passed, and it is not for the sake of giving Xia Yu face.

The British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association has a very large influence on the Chinese. After the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association started, the Chinese with the right to vote immediately voted for the Conservative Party and Gerald Pater.

And Xia Yu's actions were not slow. The "Daily Telegraph" turned to the Conservative Party, and the propaganda page for the Conservative Party and Gerard Patt was greatly increased.

Although the daily circulation has dropped a little, and some extreme people who support the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats no longer subscribe to the "Daily Telegraph", Xia Yu doesn't care at all. Compared with the huge political interests, a little newspaper sales are nothing.

He wouldn't frown even at the expense of The Daily Telegraph if he could get a huge benefit.

As for Gerald Pat himself, after receiving financial support from Xia Yu, many of the political activity plans that were originally formulated were immediately launched. He frequently appeared in high-profile places in London, and his popularity increased greatly.

All kinds of means have been used. Although it has only just begun, polls in mid-February show that Gerald Pat's vote rate has soared to 49%, which is a direct increase of 10% compared to 39% last month. And this is just the beginning!

As for Labour's candidate Nick Keeson, the polls fell from 40% last month to 33%, which alarmed him and forced an urgent adjustment within the Labour Party.

But the Conservative Party is not a vegetarian either. Seeing Gerald Pat, a rising political star in the party, exerting his own strength, he was pleasantly surprised and at the same time invested more resources, intending to consolidate and expand his advantages.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom. The position of mayor is very important. Whether the Conservative Party can regain power or not, it must be won as much as possible.

If he succeeds in governing, then the mayor of London is his own person. In many cases, the policy can be strongly supported and implemented, and there is no need to worry about being dragged back.

If you fail to govern and win the position of mayor of London, you can also block your opponents and build momentum for the next general election.

In terms of politics, Xia Yu has already started, and in terms of career, Xia Yu has not let up.

After Duke Carter Howard stepped in, the centerpiece of the Rolls-Royce takeover panel shifted to Elena, and George Berkeley had no problem with that.

And the acquisition finally came to light, and it began to enter a normal track. Although the process was not fast, Xia Yu was not in a hurry.

He knows that the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motors will not be completed in a short period of time. The decisive time should be after May. As long as the Conservative Party succeeds in taking the stage, the acquisition resistance will be greatly reduced.

Good things come and go, take your time!

Xia Yu put a lot of thought into the formation of the Huashang consortium.

The first step of the privatization process of China Commercial Bank has begun, and several shareholders have already opted out after working in Wu Chengde.

The Wu family's shareholding ratio in Huashang Bank has increased a lot, and Xia Yu's Bright Fund has not been watching, and its shareholding ratio has risen from 15% to 18.6%.

As long as the internal equity is resolved, Huashang Bank will officially open the application for delisting and privatization to the London Securities Regulatory Commission. It is believed that Xia Yu will have another bite of meat at that time, and it will be easy to increase the stake to more than 20%. thing.

The civil unrest in Iran continued, and the price of gold in London kept rising. Until March 4, the situation changed significantly again.

Under the strong pressure of European and American countries, Iran restarted its oil exports, and the soaring international oil price trend has finally been contained to a certain extent.

But it is a pity that the consequences of the skyrocketing international oil prices for several months have already appeared. Inflation in the United States has intensified and the dollar continues to depreciate. This has led to international capital still relying on the gold market and not wanting to come out, and the international gold price has continued to rise.

But the rate of increase is no longer as fast as before.

Under Xia Yu's orders, Liu Xiao and others began to act, doing the work of left-handed and right-handed, collecting funds in batches, leaving a small part of the funds to use 100 times financial leverage to accept the fund's gold futures sell orders.

To put it simply, it is to use the money obtained by leveraging the bank to buy gold futures in one's own account, exchange the futures for the account, and the bank's money goes to one's own pocket.

There are also advantages to doing so. It is more convenient and faster than it is relatively confidential.

After all, after a few months, international capital has lingered in the London gold market, and the momentum of the dollar has become clear, so it has become very difficult to buy gold in the market. Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy, and you have to pay a premium.

At this moment, Xia Yu quietly boarded the plane back to Xiangjiang.

After internal discussions with the Hong Kong businessmen and communication with the mainland, the time for going north was set for March 8, Xia Yu had to go back, everything in the UK was under the control of competent subordinates, and Xia Yu could leave in peace.

Xia Yu was accompanied by the old man of Huashengshi, and there were a large number of antiques on the plane.

After returning this time, the antiques will be stored in Xia Yu's mansion first, and Huashengshi will be responsible for the specific layout.

At the same time, Huashengshi also has to find his friends and discuss face-to-face about the establishment of a private museum.

Building a large-scale private museum is not something that can be done overnight, at least it will take a few years. Huashengshi is already old, so he is very concerned about this matter, for fear that he will not see the establishment of a private museum in his lifetime.

After leaving Xiangjiang for several months, as soon as Xia Yu came back, he didn't take care of his work, and he also turned down the invitation of the Xiangjiang bosses to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and went straight back home to accompany his family.

After a warm dinner, Xia Yu chatted with his parents in the living room, telling them a lot of interesting things he saw and heard in the UK, at the same time, he also understood what happened at home in the past few months, and cared about the study status of his younger brothers and sisters. .

This evening was happy and warm, and Xia Yu's heart completely relaxed.

The next day, because the time to go north was approaching, many things were still unclear, so early in the morning, Xia Yu and Huo Yingdong made an appointment to meet at Bao Yugang's house to learn about the situation.
