v2 Chapter 556： committed to

"Hello sir, thank you for your support!"

As soon as Xia Yu walked to the fundraising stand, a courtesy lady specially arranged by the Conservative Party gave Xia Yu a sweet smile and expressed gratitude. Xia Yu responded with a smile and came to a young Jim who was in charge of collection and registration.

Seeing Xia Yu taking out the check, Jim also bowed to Xia Yu to thank him, and then accepted Xia Yu's check.

Everyone who comes to donate has prepared a check. This is conducive to the Conservative Party's collection of money and political donations. No one will use a fake check.

After receiving Xia Yu's check, Jim of the Conservative Party procedurally looked at the amount above, but at this look, his face changed, one plus a string of zeros, and his heart beat suddenly.

Fearing that he might be wrong, he took a closer look again and found that it was indeed a million pounds. He looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face.

Originally, Xia Yu was a yellow man and surprised him. Now Xia Yu has donated another million pounds. The guests who donated before were generally one or two thousand pounds, and a few thousand pounds less. Donations of more than 50,000 yuan are only more than ten. , The one with the largest donation was 200,000 pounds, but Xia Yu directly doubled it five times.

To be honest, so much money is very beneficial to the Conservative Party, but considering that Xia Yu is very unfamiliar and the focus is on yellow skin, he has to be cautious.

Seeing Jim's scruples, Xia Yu smiled lightly and said to him: "Don't worry, the check is true. You can go to China Commercial Bank to exchange it at any time. My name is Xia Yu."

After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the pen on the table and wrote down his Chinese and English names.

Then he nodded and left.

Seeing Xia Yu returned to the crowd, Jim spoke to his companions, found another person to take the post, and then quickly found his immediate boss.

And Jim's boss also felt tricky after listening, and finally had to report to Margaret Thatcher, who was the highest on the scene.

By coincidence, Margaret was chatting with Duke Howard and the others, and when she saw her subordinates beckoning to her, she apologized to Duke Howard and the others, and then came to the subordinates.

"Leader, the fundraiser has set aside some situation, continue to make your decision."

After the subordinates finished speaking, he asked Jim, who knew the matter best, to stand up and state.

"Leader, I just received a check with one million pounds on it."

Jim said respectfully, and then presented the check in his hand.

Margaret's face changed slightly, and she accepted the cheque and took a closer look. It really was a million pounds, a huge political donation.

And based on her experience, it should be a real check, but the signature on it made her frown.

At this time, Jim immediately added: "Leader, this check is donated by an Asian gentleman named Xia Yu, that's it!"

With that said, Jim pointed to Xia Yu, who had been staring long ago. Margaret followed Jim’s point and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a very young Asian man talking to the party’s political star Gerald Pat Laughed.

Did you know Gerald?

Wait, this man seems to be with Duke Howard just now!

"Did he say anything else?"

Margaret Thatcher did not immediately consult Duke Howard, but asked Jim carefully.

Jim shook his head immediately: "He just said that this check is real and can go to Huashang Bank to redeem it at any time, and his name is Xia Yu. After saying this, he left the check and left."

Margaret Thatcher's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded to Jim and the others: "Okay, I see, I will hold the check first, and you will go back to work."

"Good leader!"

Excuse me, Jim and his boss left immediately.

Returning to the group of Duke Howard again, she smiled and asked Duke Howard: "Sir Carter, I want to ask you, do you know an Asian named Xia Yu? That's it!"

When he heard Margaret’s question, Duke Carter Howard was a little surprised and nodded and replied: "I know him. I gave him the invitation. He is my friend. What's wrong?"

Margaret Thatcher breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "So you know, he just donated a million pounds, because the amount is too big, my assistant dare not accept it, so he just reported to me. "

"One million pounds?"

Duke Carter Howard was also surprised by this number. He did not expect Xia Yu to donate so much!

But this effect is really good. No, Margaret paid attention to it.

This is a great opportunity!

Therefore, Duke Howard immediately said: "Ms. Margaret, I talked to Mr. Xia. He agrees with the Conservative Party's campaign policy. He has donated a million pounds and I think it can be accepted."

"By the way, although Mr. Xia is from Hong Kong, he also has a career in London. "Financial Times" and "Daily Telegraph" are his company's industries."

As soon as this remark came out, Margaret suddenly became interested. She remembered that the two newspapers had no political stance before, but now the boss actually came to the Conservative Party reception and made a large donation. This is an extremely favorable signal. As the leader of the Conservative Party, she must seize this opportunity.

"Sir Carter, I think it is necessary for me to thank him for his donation. I wonder if you can introduce it on your behalf?"

Margaret smiled and pleaded with Carter Howard.

"It's my pleasure, please!"

After speaking, Duke Carter Howard led Margaret toward Xia Yu's direction. This action attracted the attention of many people around him.

The surrounding changes were noticed by Xia Yu. He looked for the source of the changes and found Duke Carter Howard and others.

Moreover, the future Iron Lady looked at him with a smile, and when she approached, she proactively extended her hand.

Xia Yu greeted him and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Xia, hello, nice to meet you!"

Margaret did not treat Xia Yu specially because she was young, but still used the honorific name "you", which was her consistent style.

"Ms. Margaret, it's an honor to know you. I didn't expect you to come. It surprised me too much!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, and at the same time let go of his hand.

Margaret smiled gently and said: "Mr. Xia, your participation in our reception is your support for us. As the leader of the Conservative Party, I have this obligation to thank you for coming."

"And I just learned that you donated a million pounds to us. This surprised me. So far, you have donated the most for this event. Thank you for your great support!"

"Ms. Margaret, thank you very much. I agree with the policies of the Conservative Party. I sincerely hope that the Conservative Party can win. This is not only for us, but also for the British people!"

Xia Yu bluntly said that his attitude was very sincere.

Marguerite smiled even more: "Thank you for your recognition. This is our greatest encouragement!"

...

"Mr. Xia, take the liberty to ask, do you own the Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph?"

After the greeting, Marguerite pondered for a moment and then asked suddenly.

In her view, asking for someone requires an attitude of asking for someone. If you need Xia Yu's help and support, you can no longer ask for Xia Yu to take the initiative. Instead, she needs to show a positive attitude to make the request succeed. It would be counterproductive.

"Yes, both newspapers have just been acquired."

Xia Yu answered with a smile.

Margaret smiled and solemnly asked, "Mr. Xia, I have a request. I wonder if I can ask you for help to let more people understand the policies of our Conservative Party?"

Xia Yu pondered, looked at Duke Carter Howard, and then at Margaret. He felt that it was enough to serve him, and said with a smile: "Of course!"

Margaret smiled and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you for your support. We will remember your generosity. You are a distinguished friend of the Conservative Party. We are honored!"

With Margaret's clear attitude, Xia Yu is also very happy: "It is also my honor to be a friend of the Conservative Party!"

...

We chatted for a while Margaret left. As the core person of this cocktail party, she had to entertain as many important guests as possible, and chatting with Xia Yu for seven or eight minutes was considered very Long time.

As for Duke Carter Howard, he looked at Xia Yu with admiration, said a few words with Xia Yu, and went to other places.

When the goal was achieved, Xia Yu was relieved.

Although Margaret’s promise is very general, it is effective. After all, she can’t make a promise if she doesn’t know the situation, and it’s not easy to say a lot of things. Both sides need to be aware of it, otherwise it will On the surface, it has become a transaction of power and wealth.

Although there is a widely spread saying that politicians have the most ugly faces, and they change when they say change, but it depends on who.

For ordinary people, the policy may change at any time, but for the sponsors and supporters of Xia Yu, the Conservative Party dare not promise lightly. As long as the promised reception party will do its best to achieve it, otherwise, if the sponsor is scammed, it is right. The reputation of the Conservative Party will have a very bad influence.

Therefore, although Margaret did not make a clear statement, Xia Yu was satisfied.

The relationship has been caught up, and when the time comes, Duke Carter Howard will come forward again, presumably the Rolls-Royce Motor Company matter is okay.

Moreover, this million pounds and the support of the media are not only effective for Rolls-Royce Motor Company. As long as the relationship continues to deepen, there will be more places to be used later.

For ordinary people, the policy may change at any time, but for the sponsors and supporters of Xia Yu, the Conservative Party dare not promise lightly. As long as the promised reception party will do its best to achieve it, otherwise, if the sponsor is scammed, it is right. The reputation of the Conservative Party will have a very bad influence.

Therefore, although Margaret did not make a clear statement, Xia Yu was satisfied. . . . .
