v2 Chapter 553： Accumulate contacts

Three days later, the dark night sky was full of stars. Obviously tomorrow will be a good weather.

The Royal Hotel in London, a luxury hotel run by a large British family, is holding a heart-touching cocktail party here tonight. It is the "political fundraising cocktail party" organized by the Conservative Party.

The money collected from general political fundraising is used for the campaigns of members of the Conservative Party and the expenses of many daily political activities.

At this time, the elections for important positions in the House of Commons and various municipalities have already entered. This time the political fund-raising party was held exclusively, and the funds raised were only used for elections.

No way, regardless of the top positions in various places, the House of Commons alone has 650 seats. The Conservative Party is competing fiercely with other parties. There are too many places to spend money. It depends on the Conservative Party and candidates from various regions. It is difficult to satisfy the assets owned by oneself and can only be raised from the society.

At this moment, Xia Yu has entered the arena with an invitation, but he did not bring Li Qian.

After all, I don't know what Duke Carter Howard thought, and even let Elena and Xia Yu join the party. Xia Yu also learned from Elena that this was the first time she participated in such a solemn political cocktail party.

After coming in, Xia Yu realized that he was the only person of the yellow race in the audience. Looking around, they were all gentlemen and ladies in suits and leather shoes. He did not know any of them. As for the Duke Carter Howard and the Margaret who heard about appearing Thatcher is not here at this time.

Elena didn’t know these people either, but it didn’t matter, she was the daughter of Duke Carter Howard after all, so someone would always recognize her. When they saw her walking with Xia Yu, they all flashed a little surprise in their eyes. .

Of course, Xia Yu's existence was seen by many people, who secretly thought about who he was.

Fortunately, when Xia Yu and Elena were embarrassed, Duke Carter Howard finally appeared.

There were two people beside him talking and laughing. One was a handsome middle-aged man who was only about forty years old, and the other was an old man in his 50s and 60s, but Xia Yu observed that, This old man was dressed very luxuriously. It seemed that he was no worse than Duke Carter Howard. He should also be a nobleman.

I saw Duke Carter Howard and the two people beside him walk up to Xia Yu and Elena, first nodded to Xia Yu with a smile, and then said to Elena: "Elena, when did you arrive?"

"Dad, we have been there for more than ten minutes, you can't find it if you want to find it."

Elena said softly.

"I'm really sorry, I happen to have something."

After an apologetic explanation, Carter Howard introduced Xia Yu and Elena to the two beside him.

"This is my daughter Elena. The next to him is Xia Yu, who is my daughter's boss, a friend of the Howard family, from Xiangjiang."

Hearing Carter Howard's introduction, the two beside him couldn't help but look at Xia Yu, and they were a little surprised. They didn't expect this young Chinese from Hong Kong to be recognized by the Howard family.

"This is Duke Cavendish!"

Carter Howard first introduced the old man, and Xia Yu couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that he was also a duke.

Since the last time I asked Hongyi Wu for information about the Howard family, Xia Yu has especially learned about the British aristocracy. There is only one family named Cavendish, and there is only one duke. It is in Cavendish, Devon. The title of the Xu family is also called the Duke of Devonshire.

The Cavendish family is very influential in politics and science education.

"This is Gerald Pat, a rising star in the Conservative Party, now running for the mayor of London!"

Carter Howard once again introduced the younger blond middle-aged handsome guy. Xia Yu couldn't help but be surprised. He finally remembered who this was. He had read reports about him in the newspaper before.

Now that the British election has entered, it will be clear with only two months left. All parties are preparing for the final effort, and the important position of the Mayor of London has naturally become the target of fierce competition.

The Conservative Party, the Labor Party and the Liberal Democrats have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but the Liberal Democrat candidate Jack Padre has little hope. A recent poll showed that his vote rate was 21%.

Because the Labour Party is still in office at this time and has more convenience in hand, although the people are disappointed with the Labour Party, the Labour Party’s candidate for mayor of London Nick Kisson received 40% of the votes, ranking first.

As for the Conservative Party’s candidate for mayor of London, it is Gerald Pat. Polls show that his vote rate is 39%, which is a bit behind Nick Kisson for the time being.

Of course, this vote rate and ranking is only temporary, because there are still many voters who have not voted at this time, and now the votes of the three candidates only occupy the proportion of the votes already cast.

If Jack Padro of the Liberal Democrats rises against the sky, it is not impossible to overtake. Although the probability is very low, it is not a typical case of a Jedi comeback in history.

"Sir Cavendish, hello, I am Xia Yu from Xiangjiang. It's an honor to meet you!"

"Mr. Gerrard, hello, I wish you a successful campaign!"

...

Perhaps because of Duke Carter Howard, Duke Cavendish and Gerald Parker were very friendly to Xia Yu.

Especially Duke Cavendish, seeing Xia Yu’s eyes a little strange, just when Xia Yu couldn’t help but want to ask questions, he listened to him gently say: "Mr. Xia, I heard Carter talk about you. You are a genius, hope "Financial Times" can resound the world in your hands."

Hearing what he said, Xia Yu was surprised. A suspicion floated in his heart. He heard Duke Carter Howard smile and say: "Mr. Xia, the Pearson Group is the property of the Cavendish family."

That's it!

Unexpectedly, there is still this relationship!

It seems that it was Carter Howard who asked Duke Cavendish to greet him, which allowed him to successfully buy the Financial Times Group in the hands of Pearson Group.

"Thank you Lord Sir for your accomplishment, please look back You will not be disappointed!"

Xia Yu said gratefully.

Duke Cavendish smiled kindly.

After that, Xia Yu seized the opportunity and continued to expand his contacts with the help of Duke Carter Howard.

Those who are eligible to participate in the reception are not important members of the Conservative Party and political rising stars, or powerful people, such as British aristocrats or wealthy businessmen. Knowing these people is a great benefit to Xia Yu. Before long, Xia Yu In exchange for a large stack of business cards.

All this was seen by Duke Carter Howard and others. They had no objection, but in their hearts Xia Yu was a person who was good at seizing opportunities.

Soon, Xia Yu saw Margaret Thatcher, the leader of the Conservative Party, appear, and the reception officially began.
