v2 Chapter 605： Capital and politics (3,400 words)

"Xia Yu, the time is almost there, shouldn't it be time to get ready to go?"

While Xia Yu was concentrating on browsing business information, Li Qian, who had always remembered Xia Yu's reminder, checked the time and found that it was already 5:30 in the afternoon, so she whispered in Xia Yu's ear.

Xia Yu blinked a little dry eyes, smiled slightly at Li Qian, stood up and said, "Well, let's change clothes first."

"um hum!"

Then, the two entered the rest room in the office and changed into a set of relatively casual clothes.

"Let's go, buy some fruit first."

After some preparations, it was more than six o'clock, and Xia Yu arrived at Gerald Pat's door at six thirty on time.

"Ding Dong!"

Gerald Pat's family of four are his wife Mary, son Lyle, and daughter Camilla. His son Lyle was already in college and was not at home. The 12-year-old daughter Camilla was watching TV in the living room. When she heard the doorbell, she jumped off the sofa and ran to open the door.

Seeing Xia Yu and Li Qian standing at the door, Camilla felt a little familiar, blinking her big beautiful eyes, Qiao Shengsheng asked, "Are you Uncle Xia?"

"It's me, lovely Camilla, good evening!"

"A gift for you at this time!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, and at the same time handed the Barbie doll set gift box to the little girl Camilla.

European and American girls have almost zero resistance to Barbie dolls. Looking at the Barbie doll in the transparent packaging bag, Camilla was surprised, took the gift box with both hands, and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle, uncle and aunt, come in! "

As soon as Xia Yu came in, he saw Gerald Pat walking over with a smile, looking at the big gift that Xia Yu and Li Qian were carrying, and quickly took it over, saying, "Mr. Xia, You are so polite that you still bought so many gifts."

"Hehe, our Chinese etiquette, you can't visit with your hands empty-handed."

Xia Yu said with a slight smile.

Gerald Pat smiled and enthusiastically greeted Xia Yu and Li Qian to sit down: "Sit down, please!"

"Camilla, do you thank you uncle and aunt?"

"Dad, I have it!"

"First put the gift back in the room, come and help learn how to make tea, next time Uncle Xia is here, I want you to make tea."

"Well, I'll be back soon."

Camilla said reluctantly, but after all, she had a tutor, so she cleverly put the gift back into the room.

Xia Yu smiled and exclaimed: "Camilla is still so obedient and cute, Mr. Gerrard, you are very educated."

"Thank you!"

"Mr. Xia, Ms. Li, welcome you!"

At this time, Mary wearing an apron brought a dish to the table and put it down, and then greeted Xia Yu and Li Qian enthusiastically.

"Thank you!"

Xia Yu got up to thank him, and then glanced at Li Qian, who knew, walked up to Mary with a sweet smile, and said, "Ms. Mary, is there anything I can do?"

"Oh, you are a guest, resting in the living room, I can be alone..."

"..."

Seeing Li Qian entering the kitchen halfway through Mary, Xia Yu and Gerald Pat looked at each other and smiled, and Camilla walked out of the room again, watching her father's tea making.

Time passed like a white horse. It was around eight o'clock in the evening in a blink of an eye. Dinner was over. Li Qian and Mary cleaned the table. Xia Yu and Gerald Pat returned to the living room sofa to make tea.

It's time to talk about business if you are full of wine and food.

After all, the British private dining habits are different from China's. During the meal, they don't talk about work. During the meal, they only talked about various topics occasionally. Both of them tacitly left the business in the rest time later.

"Mr. Gerrard, congratulations on becoming the Mayor of London. I believe that in the next five years, London will become more prosperous under your governance."

Xia Yu congratulated.

"Thank you!"

"Mr. Xia, I cannot succeed in the election without your important help. I have always kept it in my heart. If there is anything I can help in the future, I will do my best without violating the principles!"

Now in his own home, facing the big benefactor of Xia Yu, Gerald Pat did not hide his words, and solemnly promised after thanking him.

He was not complacent because he became the mayor of London. As a qualified politician, he was able to clearly position himself at any time.

Yes, he is the mayor of London, and he is considered a high-level person in the UK, but he is very clear that the capital is the largest in the UK, and Xia Yu can help him ascend to the position of mayor of London, and is also capable of pulling him down.

In the final analysis, although the mayor of London is a high-powered one, it is only a profession. If you offend Xia Yu, it is almost impossible for him to be re-elected after five years. When he loses his rights, he will be nothing. Xia Yu will take care of him. ,easy.

For Xia Yu, who supported him, he was very clear. He naturally knew that Xia Yu was the controller of a regional consortium, and his tentacles had reached the UK. He had a great relationship with Duke Howard, one of the important allies of the Conservative Party. The signs indicate that Xia Yu is a golden thigh.

This golden thigh took the initiative to throw an olive branch at him, and of course he clung to it and was reluctant to let go. This would be one of his strong foundations on the political road in the future.

In the UK, capital cannot do without the aid of politics. The same politics also depends heavily on capital. Only with capital support can he realize his policy propositions and go higher and further on the political road.

Hearing Gerald Pat's confession, Xia Yu was slightly taken aback and looked straight at him, who frankly met Xia Yu.

After a few seconds, Xia Yu laughed and said with satisfaction, "Mr. Gerrard, there is a reason why you can be in a high position so young."

Gerald Pat heard the hidden meaning in Xia Yu's words and smiled modestly.

"My company is developing very well, and it is not bad for funds. Now it can develop rapidly."

"By the way, has your city government team started to build?"

Xia Yu first said lightly, meaning that he didn't need his help now, but instead cared about his control of the City of London government.

Gerald Pat was stunned. He didn't know why Xia Yu asked this question. He hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "The construction has already begun, because the previous mayor came from the Labor Party. I want to better realize my policy propositions. , I need to build a team that works with me. It will take some time for the time being, but I don’t think the problem is big."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said softly, "If this is the case, then that would be great."

"By the way, Mr. Gerrard, I have established a new private equity fund, which just needs investors. You can ask who in the City of London government is interested in investing. You can recommend it to me."

"I believe you should know my financial capabilities. This fund has no risk. The guaranteed annual return on investment is more than 50%. If you are interested, you might as well invest."

Hearing this, Gerald Pat's eyes brightened and he looked straight at Xia Yu. Seeing the latter with a smile on his face, he nodded at him profoundly. He was overjoyed and nodded and said, "Of course I am interested. You are known as a stock god. I heard that your company established a fund. Investors can't get the investment quota. Of course I will not miss it."

"I believe that those colleagues in the city government will rush to invest after they learn about your private equity fund."

With that said, Gerald Pat yelled in his heart that he did not hold the wrong thigh, and now not only gave him benefits, but also helped him control the city government.

Politicians in Europe and the United States are just a profession, and their rights are far less than that of China Mainland. On the contrary, the risks are not small. A stable and reasonable economic source is extremely important.

In the political system of Europe and America, politicians serve capitalists more, and capitalists will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and are rich and wealthy.

The private equity fund mentioned by Xia Yukou now is a common form.

Politicians invest in private equity funds and receive reasonable dividends. The benefits of dividends will definitely be much higher than their wages. What politicians need to do is to protect the interests of capitalists within a reasonable range and speak out for capitalists.

But not all politicians are eligible to be supported by capitalists. Gerald Pat has this qualification. There are also some people in the City of London who have this qualification, but most people are not qualified. This means that if these people No corruption, and relying on low wages, the whole family will not have a good life.

Now Gerald Pat holds the quota of Xia Yu's guaranteed private equity fund, which is extremely attractive to those people. This will be an important bargaining chip for him to quickly control the state government of the City of London.

It can be said that this private equity fund of Xia Yu will give him an important boost in personal wealth and career. How can he be unhappy?

"Mr. Xia, thank you!"

Gerald Pat solemnly thanked.

Xia Yu smiled carelessly: "Don't thank me, I have never been stingy to help me."

"By the way, in the days to come, I will increase my investment in the UK, at least 500 million pounds. The specific investment is still uncertain. If London has a suitable opportunity, I can also invest in London."

500 million pounds!

This number shook Gerald Pat's mind for a moment. He was short of breath, and immediately reacted, knowing that this was Xia Yu reminding him that he was not reserved at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured , I am a person who knows how to be grateful."

"The economic rise of the City of London requires a large amount of capital, and there is definitely a suitable opportunity. I will inform you as soon as I find it If you have investment goals, please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to serve you ."

500 million pounds, Gerald Pat did not doubt Xia Yu's strength.

If these 500 million pounds are invested in the City of London, he will put a heavy touch on his political achievements.

Now that the Conservative Party has become a general trend, after the leader Margaret takes office, a series of policies will be launched to stimulate economic development and allow Britain to rise again. This requires a large amount of capital, especially foreign investment.

If he can get 500 million pounds of investment shortly after taking office as the mayor of London, his name will definitely resound throughout the UK, and the position of the mayor of London will instantly be as stable as a mountain.

At this moment, Gerald Pat was deeply moved. He was so lucky to have a super golden thigh. He secretly strengthened his belief and said nothing to offend Xia Yu.

Xia Yu saw Gerard Pat’s expression and probably guessed his thoughts, which was exactly what he wanted.

There is a saying that ten birds in the forest is not as good as one in the forest. Although there are many more seniors in the UK than Gerald Pat, the higher the position of those people, the easier it is to deal with the big British consortium. His Help is not so important.

That's why he caught Gerald Pat, who is just a political star and has not yet risen, to invest at the beginning, so that he can be firmly bound.

The time is not yet, and he doesn't make any demands to reduce Gerald Pat's vigilance. When the time comes later, he will never be embarrassed to speak up, so as to obtain greater benefits.

In this way, Gerald Pat, whose mentality changed again, was more enthusiastic and friendly towards Xia Yu, and the two men with their own calculations began to chat in full swing.
