Steel Tycoon Reborn

As early as the early 1980s, Evergreen Group set its sights on the Asia-Pacific region and actively sought investment opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. It has made great progress in more than ten years, but its industrial focus is still in Western Europe.

The Four Seasons Evergreen Hotel, located in the center of the City of London, is one of the high-end properties held by Evergreen Group in the UK.

There are many skyscrapers in the Financial City, and the Evergreen Hotel, with a net height of more than 240 meters, is not very eye-catching, but in London, where the capital market is fully developed, this skyscraper integrates hotels, apartments, office buildings and shopping malls. , with a total asset value of nearly £1 billion.

After introducing Shen Huai to Wu Wenxiong, Sun Qishan would not stay to attend the New Year's Eve dinner held by the British Chinese Business Association in the evening. He would rush back to Paris.

For the next itinerary in the UK, Sun Yalin will accompany Shen Huai to complete it, and will naturally stay with Shen Huai at the Four Seasons Evergreen Hotel; they also plan to go to the hotel for a little rectification first, and then go to meet the Wu family.

Sun Qishan came over, and the hotel also prepared a luxury suite on the top floor for Shen Huai. Shen Huai stood in front of the glass window and watched the bustling street scene of the London Financial City in the afternoon.

Although he devoured other people's memories, he was not unfamiliar with the luxurious and flashy life and the materialistic western society, but he was not impressed by stepping on the bustling financial city of London at this time.

Donghua's real economy, if it can obtain an investment of one billion pounds, will directly or indirectly create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and enable half of the nearly 200,000 poor families living below the extreme poverty line in Donghua to gain Opportunities to get rid of poverty and become rich; and in London, one of the three major financial centers in the world, a billion pounds is just a skyscraper that does not look very conspicuous.

"You haven't stayed in London for a long time, have you?" Sun Qishan saw Shen Huai's eyes staring at the city of London at the foot of the curtain wall, and he came over and asked him with a smile.

"I passed by London several times before, but I didn't stop there," Shen Huai said with a smile. Seeing some doubts in Sun Qishan's eyes, he said with a smile, "I have lived in China for too long, and this flashy world has made me feel A little alienated. There are not many skyscrapers similar to this building in China now.”

Sun Qishan smiled and looked at Shen Huai.

Before the Shen Shan couple drove Shen Huai back to China, Sun Qishan had a vague impression of him.

In terms of cynicism and corruption, the Sun family still has children who are better than Shen Huai, so Sun Qishan neither has a good impression of Shen Huai before, nor does he have too much disgust.

After Shen Huai left Paris and returned to China, Sun Qishan doubted whether he would remember that there was such a child in the Sun family in a few years if Yalin had not gone to China to meet him.

Sun Qishan's half-life's ups and downs in the business world made him able to restrain his feelings and implement his pragmatic spirit when looking at people and things.

The same is true of his attitude towards Shen Huai.

Shen Huai had a vague impression on him before. Although Yalin tried to sell Mei Steel's project to him in the later period, he also ignored it out of risk and cost considerations; after that, he gave 30 million US dollars to Shen Shan and his wife to make money. It is also done as a transaction.

After the completion of the Meishan Iron and Steel Plant No. 2 project, he witnessed Shen Huai's extraordinary ability in the construction and operation of the project.

Sun Qishan had a wild and unruly career when he was young, and in the eyes of his elders, he seemed so hopeless. This career did not prevent him from becoming the executive director of the Evergreen Group at this time, so he did not think that it would be impossible for Shen Huai to make a big change in the five or six years since he left Paris.

However, Sun Qishan did not have the opportunity to contact Shen Huai when he visited the construction achievements of the Meishan Iron and Steel Plant No. 2 project last time. He made a temporary decision today to fly across the English Channel with his daughter. On the one hand, he wanted to introduce Shen Huai to Wu Wenxiong and other British Chinese businessmen he was familiar with. On the other hand, he wanted to put more chips on Shen Huai. , and also felt the need for further contact and understanding.

"In terms of prosperity and modernization, compared to other emerging metropolises, this place seems to be a little bit down. However, within this two square kilometers, there are hundreds of financial institutions, and the forces behind the capital market are surging. There are really few cities in the world that can compare with them," Sun Qishan said.

"..." Shen Huai said with a smile, "According to me, the British conservative forces are too closely integrated with financial capital. In order to maintain the importance of this area in international finance, the United Kingdom continued to Now, we have adopted strict fiscal budget and tight monetary policy. Although the status of the pound has been maintained, it has cost the British industry a huge price. If not, our plan may succeed at least at this time. Sex isn't too big."

Sun Qishan smiled, and I have to say that Shen Huai is more professional than his peers in many aspects. His plan can be said to have a precise grasp of the background of this era, maybe to test his professional reserves, not a good idea.

Seeing that Sun Qishan was accepted into the chatterbox, Shen Huai felt a little regretful. He would rather share some of his understanding of Asia-Pacific economic development with Sun Qishan.

Although the development of Evergreen Group's Asia-Pacific affairs is somewhat slow, as the top figure in the Evergreen Group's pyramid, Shen Huai believes that Sun Qishan has a broader vision than him. Moreover, the long-term ups and downs of the business world also means that Sun Qishan has more direct and sharper opinions on many professional issues. These are all things Shen Huai hopes he can strengthen.

Of course, Sun Qishan stopped the chatter, and Shen Huai couldn't be in a hurry.

Sun Yalin, Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli came in at this time, complaining that her father did not let her and Shen Huai live in his house on Ferent Avenue in the North District.

Sun Qishan explained that new decorations were being done over there, and Shen Huai thought to himself that there might be people who Sun Qishan didn't want him and Sun Yalin to see.

Sun Qishan's secretary came over and told them that the car was ready downstairs and that they had contacted the Wu family; Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli were also going to the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, and at this time they also went directly to visit the Wu family with Shen Huai and the others. .

In the car, Sun Qishan introduced Shen Huai in more detail about the situation of the Wu family, the leader of overseas Chinese in the UK and the founder of the British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association.

The time when the Wu family immigrated to Europe was similar to that of the Sun family, but it was later than the Sun family.

In the early years, the Wu family ran a chain of restaurants in the Chinese community in London, and then ran a travel agency. In the 1960s, they moved to Spain to do tourism real estate. It was the real first big money. With its increasing influence and status in the British Chinese community, the Wu family capital returned to the United Kingdom, and caught up with the rise of the financial real estate in the middle and early 1970s in the United Kingdom. It penetrated into the field and became one of the representative families of Chinese businessmen in Western Europe.

In addition to the more traditional family industries such as catering and real estate, the Wu family is also one of the core shareholders of Berkeley Bank.

The Sun family's background in manufacturing and the real economy cannot be considered deep, but it is much better than the Wu family. This is also directly related to the development background of Chinese businessmen in overseas regions. Chinese businessmen generally enter cutting-edge manufacturing overseas, while in Europe and the United States, the low-end and middle-end manufacturing industries are at the stage of being eliminated; , hotels, etc. have become their favorite investment areas.

Sun Qishan wants to introduce Wu Wenxiong, whom Shen Huai knows, who is also the core figure of the second generation of the Wu family. At this time, he serves as the consulting manager of Berkeley Bank, and at the same time represents the Wu family as the vice president of the British Chinese Business Association, responsible for some specific liaison work. , has great influence in the British Chinese business community.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner held by the British Chinese Entrepreneurs Association was organized by Wu Wenxiong.

****************

The Wu family is scattered, and most of the children live in the wealthy area of ​​North London.

Looking at the mansion hidden among the trees on both sides of the road, a building worth anywhere from a million to tens of millions of pounds, Shen Huai wanted to sigh, but also felt that there was no reason to be emotional: the house where the Sun family lived in Paris, Not necessarily any worse than here.

Although London has a temperate oceanic climate, due to its low latitude, the temperature in winter is also very cold.

The car drove into a manor with green grass and vigorous trees, and stopped in front of a white mansion.

There were several people standing in front of the building, apparently waiting for Sun Qishan and the others to come over. Sun Yalin pointed to the tall fat man who had been in the middle for about fifty years and said to Shen Huai: "That fat man is Wu Wenxiong, the most greedy and cunning of the Wu family is that he understands, And he's still very self-righteous," and then turned back and warned Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli, who were sitting in the back row, "The little white face standing next to Wu Wenxiong is Wu Kangjie, the second son of Wu Wenxiong. Who else I have known over the years is better than Wu Wenxiong's. Shen Huai is even more vulgar and shameless, so he is Wu Kangjie, remember to stay away from him in the future..."

The old-fashioned Chinese business family will inevitably have a few playful children, but Sun Yalin reminded Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli that it was all, but they stabbed him in the chest with a cold gun, and Shen Huai could only smile bitterly.

Cheng Yi is not a little girl who hasn't seen the world, and her background is enough to make some conscientious people jealous, so Shen Huai doesn't have to worry about what kind of dude she will deceive and play with feelings~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As for Yu Wenli, even Liu Fulong Such people can bear it, Shen Huai is too lazy to care about others.

After getting out of the car, Sun Qishan and Wu Wenxiong stood in front of the steps shaking hands shabbyly, and introduced Shen Huai to Wu's family.

Although Sun Qishan's introduction was quite formal, Shen Huai could feel Wu Wenxiong's indifference.

The old-fashioned Chinese businessmen are more traditional. Their rise has been hard work and hard work step by step, and they attach great importance to seniority, which also makes them usually ignore and look down on the younger generation.

After a simple exchange, Wu Wenxiong asked his second son Wu Kangjie to accompany Shen Huai, Sun Yalin, and Cheng Yi to visit the Wu family's manor, and even did not intend to let Shen Huai and the others participate in the next conversation between him and Sun Qishan.

Shen Huai knows that haste is not enough, and his goal this time is not to win the Wu family, so he won't feel unhappy.

At this time, he began to maintain good contact with the British Chinese business community, mostly to help him in the future. In Shen Huai's opinion, the fundamental change in Sun Qishan's attitude towards him is the most meaningful of this trip. Harvest, otherwise, just relying on the bet Sun Yalin won before, won't ask Sun Qishan to really help them match up. (83 Chinese Network)
