As early as the early 1980s, Changqing Group focused its attention 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.

Sisy Evergreen Hotel, located in the heart of London City, is one of the high-end properties owned by Evergreen Group in the UK.

The Financial City skyscrapers are lined with skyscrapers, and the Siji Evergreen Hotel, which is more than 240 meters high, is not very eye-catching. However, in London, where the capital market is fully developed, this skyscraper integrating hotels, apartments, office buildings and shopping malls has a total asset value of nearly one billion pounds.

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

And for the next trip in the UK, Sun Yalin will accompany Chen Huai to complete it, so naturally she will stay in the Four Seasons Changqing Hotel with Chen Huai; they also plan to go to the hotel to make some adjustments before meeting the Wu family.

Sun Qishan came over, and the hotel also prepared a top-floor luxury suite for Chen Huai. Chen Huai stood in front of the glass curtain window and looked at the bustling street view of the London Financial City under his feet in the afternoon.

Although he swallowed other people's memories and was not unfamiliar with the luxurious and glitzy life and the materialistic Western society, he was not impressed by the prosperous City of London at this time.

If Donghua's real economy can obtain a billion pound investment, it will directly or indirectly create tens of thousands of jobs, allowing half of the nearly 200,000 poor families living below the extreme poverty line in Donghua to date to get rid of poverty and become rich. In London, one of the three largest financial centers in the world, 1 billion pounds is just a skyscraper that looks inconspicuous under your feet.

"You haven't been in London for a long time before, have you?" Sun Qishan saw Chen Huai's eyes staring at the city of London outside the curtain wall, and walked over and asked him with a smile.

"I have passed London a few times before, but I haven't stopped much," Chen Huai smiled. Seeing that Sun Qishan's eyes were a little confused, 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 in China that are similar to this building."

Sun Qishan smiled and looked at Chen Huai.

Before Chen Shan and his wife drove Chen Huai back to the country, Sun Qishan had a vague impression of him.

To be cynical or corrupt, the Sun family has children who are exceptionally good than Chen Huai. Therefore, Sun Qishan could neither have any good feelings for Chen Huai before, nor had too deep disgust.

After Chen Huai left Paris and returned to China, if Yalin hadn't come to China to have an interaction with him, Sun Qishan would have doubted whether he would remember that the Sun family had such a child in a few years.

Sun Qishan's business world has been ups and downs for half his life, so he can control his feelings when looking at people and things and implement his pragmatic spirit.

The same is true of his attitude towards Chen Huai.

Chen Huai's impression before was vague. Although Yalin tried hard to sell Meigang's project to him later, he ignored it for the sake of risks and costs. Later, he gave 30 million US dollars to Chen Shan and his wife for turnover, which was also done as a transaction.

When the Meigang Second Plant project was completed, he witnessed Chen Huai's extraordinary ability in project construction and operation, and he would not be as unacceptable as Qi Yi because of his great charm.

Sun Qishan had a unruly and unruly life when he was young, which seemed so hopeless in the eyes of his elders. This career did not prevent him from becoming the executive director of Changqing Group at this time, so he did not think that it would be impossible for Chen Huai to undergo a major change in the five or six years after leaving Paris.

However, when he visited the construction achievements of the Meigang Factory II project in China last time, Sun Qishan did not have the opportunity to contact Chen Huai. Today, he decided to fly across the English Channel with his daughter. On the one hand, he wanted to introduce Chen Huai to Wu Wenxiong and other familiar British Chinese businessmen. On the other hand, he wanted to invest larger chips on Shen Huai, and he also felt that it was necessary to further contact and understand.

"If you want to talk about prosperity and modernity, compared with other emerging metropolises, this place looks a little declining. However, within one or two square kilometers, there are hundreds of financial institutions gathered, and the forces and turbulent forces hidden behind the capital market are really not many cities in the world that can match it." Sun Qishan said.

"..." Chen Huai said with a smile, "According to me, the British conservative forces and financial capital are too closely integrated. In order to maintain the importance of this small place in international finance, Britain has adopted strict fiscal budgets and austerity monetary policy from the beginning of the war. Although the status of the pound has been maintained, the British industrial industry has paid a huge price. If not, our plan will not be successful at least at this time."

Sun Qishan smiled. I have to say that Chen Huai is more professional than his peers in many aspects. His plan can be said to have an accurate grasp of the background of this era. Perhaps it is not a good idea to test his professional reserves.

Seeing that Sun Qishan was talking, Chen Huai felt a little regretful. He was more willing to communicate with Sun Qishan about his understanding of the development of the Asia-Pacific economy.

Although Changqing Group's development in Asia-Pacific affairs is a bit slow, as the top figure in Changqing Group's pyramid, Chen Huai believes that Sun Qishan's vision is broader than him. Moreover, the long-term ups and downs of the business world are also called Sun Qishan's more direct and keen insights on many professional issues, which Chen Huai hopes to be strengthened.

Of course, Sun Qishan stopped talking, and Chen Huai couldn't rush to show off.

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

Sun Qishan explained that new decoration was being made there, and Chen Huai thought to himself that maybe Sun Qishan didn't want to ask him and Sun Yalin to see the person he saw.

Sun Qishan's secretary came over and told them that the car had been prepared downstairs and had contacted the Wu family; Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli also wanted to attend the New Year's Eve dinner together, and at this time they went directly to the Wu family to visit with Chen Huai and the others.

In the car, Sun Qishan introduced Chen Huai in more detail the situation of Wu Jia, the leader of the British Overseas Chinese Business Association, and the founder of the British Chinese Business Federation.

The Wu family immigrated to Europe in the same time as the Sun family, but the history of becoming rich was later than that of the Sun family.

In his early years, the Wu family operated a chain of catering in the Chinese community in London, and later ran a travel agency. In the 1960s, it was the real first to make a lot of money. As its influence and status in the Chinese community in the UK grew, the Wu family capital returned to the UK, and caught up with the rise of financial real estate in the mid-to-early 1970s. The power gradually penetrated into multiple fields of finance and real estate, becoming one of the representative families of Chinese businessmen in Western Europe.

In addition to 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 foundation in manufacturing and 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 the cutting-edge manufacturing industry overseas, while in Europe and the United States, the mid- and low-end manufacturing industry is in the stage of being eliminated; after the Chinese businessmen became strong in capital, finance, real estate, hotels, etc. became their favorite investment fields to enter.

Sun Qishan wanted to introduce Wu Wenxiong, whom Chen Huai knew, who was also the core figure of the second generation of the Wu family. At this time, he served as the consultant manager of Berkeley Bank. At the same time, he represented the Wu family as the vice president of the British Chinese Business Federation, responsible for some specific liaison work, and had a great influence in the British Chinese business community.

The New Year's Eve dinner of the British Chinese Federation was organized by Wu Wenxiong.

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

The Wu family is divided into branches and leaves, and most of their children live in the wealthy areas in north London.

Looking at the mansion hidden between trees on both sides of the road, one worth at least one million to tens of millions of pounds, Chen Huai wanted to sigh, but he felt that there was no reason to sigh: the house where the Sun family lived in Paris was not necessarily worse than here.

Although London has a temperate oceanic climate, the temperature in winter is very cold due to the low latitude and the trees and branches are withering, but it is strange that the lawn he saw along the way was green.

The car drove into a manor with fragrant grass and vigorous trees and stopped in front of a white western-style building.

There were several people standing in front of the building, obviously waiting for Sun Qishan and the others to come. Sun Yalin pointed to the tall fat man who had been in the middle for about fifty years and said to Chen Huai: "That fat man is Wu Wenxiong. The most greedy and cunning thing in the Wu family is that he knows it, and he is very self-righteous." Then he turned around and warned Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli who were sitting in the back row, "The little face standing next to Wu Wenxiong is Wu Kangjie, Wu Wenxiong's second son. In recent years, I have to say who I know is more vulgar and shameless than Chen Huai, and only Wu Kangjie. Remember to stay away from him in the future..."

There are a few playboys in old-school Chinese merchants, but Sun Yalin reminded Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli, but she even stabbed the cold gun in his chest. Chen Huai could only smile bitterly.

Cheng Yi is not a little girl who has never seen the world, and her background is enough to make some people afraid of her. Chen Huai doesn't have to worry about whether she will deceive or play with her feelings. As for Yu Wenli, even someone like Liu Fulong can bear it, Chen Huai is too lazy to care about anything else.

When they got off the car, Sun Qishan and Wu Wenxiong stood in front of the steps and shook hands, introducing Chen Huai to the Wu family.

Although Sun Qishan has a formal recommendation, Chen Huai can feel Wu Wenxiong's indifference.

Old-fashioned Chinese businessmen are more traditional. Their rise is hard and hard, and they value qualifications, which also makes them usually have an indifferent and down-to-earth attitude towards the younger generation.

After a simple greeting, Wu Wenxiong asked his second son Wu Kangjie to accompany Chen Huai, Sun Yalin, Cheng Yi and others to visit the Wu family's manor, and even had no intention of letting Chen Huai and others participate in the next conversation with Sun Qishan.

Chen Huai knew that haste would not be achieved, and his goal this time was not to take down the Wu family, so he would not feel unhappy.

At this time, he began to maintain good contact with the British Chinese business community, more to help him more in the future. In Shen Huai's view, the fundamental change in Sun Qishan's attitude towards him was the most meaningful gain of this trip. Otherwise, relying on the bets that Sun Yalin won before, Sun Qishan would not have asked him to help them with all his heart.
