Steel Tycoon Reborn

Due to the time difference, Shen Huai boarded the plane from Yanjing International Airport at noon, and when he landed in London, the sun was only slightly tilted here, as if he had only been on the plane for less than two hours.

In Shen Huai's impression, London was wet and rainy in winter, but when he got off the plane, the sky was covered with clouds of various shapes, making the sun shine like gold and jade.

The international airport in London was very busy. Shen Huai and the passengers on the same plane rushed to the customs checkpoint and formed a long queue.

In front of Shen Huai was a middle-aged couple who departed from Yanjing on the same flight to visit relatives in the UK. They can only speak a few simple English, and faced with questions from customs officers, they could neither understand nor speak, and their faces flushed with anxiety.

Shen Huai first greeted the customs officers in English, and then asked the middle-aged couple to take out their return tickets, telling them that in order to prevent illegal immigration, the customs inspected people who came to the UK for the first time was particularly strict.

After seeing the middle-aged couple showing their return ticket, the customs officers relaxed the inspection and let the middle-aged couple pass quickly.

Shen Huai didn't delay any time at the checkpoint. After getting his luggage, he rushed to the luggage checkpoint.

At the baggage check, the middle-aged couple was blushing with anxiety because of the language barrier and the fact that they were carrying sausages, sausages and other food in their luggage. When they saw Shen Huai coming over, they greeted him with great anticipation as an interpreter.

Shen Huai acted as an interpreter again, patiently helping them communicate with the customs officers first, and then starting his luggage inspection after seeing them entering and leaving the airport.

Shen Huai came out of the aisle with her luggage, and saw Cheng Yi wearing a camel woolen coat, standing in the crowd who was picking up the plane, which was particularly eye-catching.

Cheng Yi saw that Shen Huai was simply carrying a large backpack on his shoulders, walked out of the aisle in simple clothes, and waved at him with a smile, for fear that he would not be able to see herself.

The girl Yu Wenli, who had returned to Yanjing from London last time, accompanied Cheng Yi to pick up the plane.

The last time there was so much unpleasantness on the plane, Cheng Yi believed that Shen Huai would not want to see Liu Fulong again, but she was afraid that he would also have a prejudice against Yu Wenli, so when Shen Huai came over, she explained first: "I don't have any in London. Car, I have to pull Wenli out to be the driver..."

It is not easy to have one or two friends who are familiar and trust each other in London. Shen Huai can also understand the relationship between Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli, and he is not cold because of Liu Fulong.

Yu Wenli gave the impression that she was a beautiful girl who grew up in a greenhouse with a well-behaved temperament. Her relationship with Liu Fulong was, in the final analysis, a victim of the Yu family's relationship with the Liu family.

Shen Huai thought that Cheng Yi probably felt pity for each other at this point.

On the other hand, Shen Huai and Cheng Yi are only maintaining a superficial relationship to deal with pressure from both families. Cheng Yi will not interfere with his life, and naturally he will not interfere with Cheng Yi's private life.

Seeing Yu Wenli reaching out, Shen Huai shook her hand and said with a smile, "I can let Miss Yu be the driver, I can tell others about it when I return to China for the first half of the year..." Then he told Cheng Yi, "Sun Yalin is on the flight. , it's about half an hour before we arrive, should we find a place to stay first?"

It was very convenient for Sun Yalin to come to London from Paris; Shen Huai called Sun Yalin on the phone before boarding the plane, only to know that she had decided to come to London temporarily, and she failed to tell Cheng Yi in advance.

Cheng Yi also knew that Shen Huai's visit to London to meet her was just an excuse to divert others' attention. In fact, she had other affairs to deal with.

Shen Huai made an appointment to meet Sun Yalin in London, which was also the main purpose of Shen Huai's visit to London, so Cheng Yi naturally wouldn't feel any surprise; after checking the specific arrival time of Sun Yalin's flight, Shen Huai agreed with Cheng and Yu. The two girls went to the coffee shop in the airport to sit down.

Probably also wanted to make up for the unpleasantness of the last trip back to China. In the cafe, Yu Wenli also greeted Shen Huai eagerly: "It's also fortunate that you came here this time, otherwise we would have to spend writing papers in the dormitory in the suburbs. This Spring Festival is really indescribably miserable..."

"Aren't there any activities in Chinatown and international students in London during the Spring Festival?" Shen Huai asked strangely.

There are as many as 40 to 50 million overseas Chinese in the world, but 80% are concentrated in Southeast Asia, followed by the United States. The number of Chinese who settled in Europe only increased sharply in the 1960s and 1970s when they received Indo-Chinese refugees. Currently, they mainly live in Britain and France, and there are currently about one million.

Although it is not comparable to Paris, the Chinese community in London is also quite large, with about one-third of the Chinese living in the UK, about 70,000 or 80,000, and there are not a few Chinese students studying abroad. Shen Huai believes that in the There should not be a small number of activities organized by Chinese in London during the Spring Festival.

Cheng Yi said: "Chinese students in London are mainly Hong Kong students. Now the atmosphere is a little weird and a little sensitive. It is better to stay in the dormitory and write papers than to be unhappy at the party..."

There was no need for Cheng Yi to explain, Shen Huai could understand what Cheng Yi meant when he said that the atmosphere was weird and sensitive. He just smiled and didn't talk about those unpleasant topics.

In another year and a half, Hong Kong will officially return to the embrace of the motherland. It is wishful thinking to think that every Hong Konger is willing to do so.

Precisely, in recent years, because of the recent return to Hong Kong, Hong Kong is setting off a high immigration wave, and the United Kingdom is the main place of immigration for Hong Kong immigrants. And because of the special historical relationship between the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, Chinese students in London have never been abroad. They are all dominated by Hong Kong students, so there are quite a lot of Chinese and international students living in the UK who have no sense of identity with the motherland.

When Cheng Yi came from China, her background was quite special, and it was indeed difficult to integrate into the Chinese community in London.

"I heard from Sun Yalin that the Chinese Business Federation will organize a New Year's Eve dinner tonight. It's a buffet anyway. I don't want to check the number of people. How about we go in and play together?" Shen Huai asked.

"Okay. But if you get kicked out, it's all up to you." Cheng Yi replied with a smile, she didn't want to be bored in the dormitory writing papers during the Spring Festival.

Although overseas Chinese have great differences in their sense of identity with the motherland, most of the entrepreneurs and businessmen in the Chinese community pay great attention to taking advantage of the political and economic advantages of their ancestral country and using the special social capital created by their kinship to expand their careers and improve their status. .

Over the past ten years of reform and opening up, the focus of domestic investment promotion for Chinese businessmen has been on Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and the connection and exploration of Chinese businessmen in Western Europe is far from enough.

Although the Chinese businessmen in Western Europe are not as powerful as those in Southeast Asia, there are a group of outstanding Chinese businessmen families such as the Sun Family in Paris, the Wu Family in London, and the Dan Family in Liverpool. They are often local Chinese leaders, with huge influence and close contact with each other.

Sun Yalin temporarily decided to go to the UK to join Shen Huai in advance, mainly to attend the New Year's Eve dinner organized by the British Chinese Business Association tonight with Shen Huai.

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

Sun Yalin and the others came from Paris, and the customs clearance procedure was much simpler than Shen Huai and the others came from China.

Shen Huai and the others didn't wait long in the pick-up area when they saw the tall and tall Sun Yalin and her father Sun Qishan, accompanied by the entourage, conspicuously walk out.

"Why is the big cousin here too?" Shen Huai asked with a smile that Sun Qishan left Paris on New Year's Eve and came to London in person.

"You threw the bomb out in advance, and Paris was also affected," Sun Qishan said with a smile, "I originally made an appointment to meet Wu Wenxiong from the Wu family in London in the next year, but when I thought of your coming to London, I simply came over first. Introduce you to Wu Wenxiong, I have to rush back to Paris at night."

London and Paris are not far away, and it only takes three or four hours by train. Sun Qishan and Sun Yalin now go to London with Sun Yalin and go back to Paris in the evening without much inconvenience.

I don't know how much effort Sun Yalin has put in, but Shen Huai is still deeply grateful that Sun Qishan came here in person.

Although Shen Huai also planned to contact the Wu family at the dinner tonight, it was obvious that the effect of being introduced by Sun Yalin and personally by Sun Qishan was completely different.

Although Sun Yalin is a rising star in the Sun family, her influence in the Western European Chinese business community is far from that of her father.

Shen Huai introduced Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli to Sun Qishan.

Yu Wenli's background is good, but Jingrui Group is a newly emerging mainland enterprise after all. It is far from comparable to the Sun family, a Chinese business consortium that has been rooted in Western Europe for more than half a century. More importantly, the vision has not yet been opened. Sun Yalin, an old-fashioned Chinese businessman, was still a little cautious.

Cheng Yi is not bad. She has a father who is an alternate member of the Central Committee. No matter where you put it, it will not make people feel light. She has met Sun Yalin a few times before, and there is no discomfort, but it is a little strange that Shen Huai threw a bomb called Paris. Dahuashang Group was also shocked.

However, Cheng Yi wanted to maintain her relationship with Shen Huai at the level of ordinary friends and coping with family pressure. Although she was curious ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, she would not ask any more questions.

The Sun family directly controls about 25% of the shares of the Evergreen Group through the family foundation. This part of the equity assets is as high as 2 billion US dollars. The entire Evergreen Group can be regarded as a powerful consortium-type Chinese businessman even in Western Europe, where capital is developed. enterprise.

The Meixi Power Plant and Meixi Port Wharf will open up the capital injection to the Changqing Group. Logically speaking, it will not cause a particularly big shock. After all, the scale of this investment is relatively small compared to the huge power of the Changqing Group.

The key is that Sun Qiyi, who was in charge of the Asia-Pacific affairs before, had too much contempt for Meigang, which led to some confusion in the Asia-Pacific affairs of the Evergreen Group. Later, he had to overcorrect and pay more attention to the investment opportunities in Meixi.

Coupled with the promotion of Sun Yalin, Sun Qishan and Yexin Bank, Meixi's investment opportunities are highlighted in the overall Asia-Pacific investment layout of Evergreen Group.

This is also what Shen Huai's previous series of actions needed to achieve.

Even though Sun Qiyi still disliked Shen Huai in his heart, in order to keep his position as Asia-Pacific president and avoid making any mistakes and tricks for others to seize, he had to pay more attention to the investment opportunity given by Shen Huai this time. (83 Chinese Network)
