Chapter 461 Overseas New Year's Eve

Liu Ying's father Liu Jianwei is a professor at a local university in Hebei Province. Although he is also a senior intellectual, his familiar foreign language is Russian. He still crams and learns some English emergency response before going abroad.

In order to prevent illegal immigration, British Customs has been particularly vigilant about passengers from China and the first time they have arrived in the UK. Many passengers with one-way air tickets will directly refuse to enter the customs.

Liu Jianwei and his wife repeatedly checked the staff like thieves at the inspection portal. The little English conversation they learned abroad quickly disappeared. Thanks to Chen Huai's troublesome helping them communicate with customs personnel, which saved a lot of trouble.

Chen Huai didn't expect that it would leave a good impression on Wu Kangjie and Liu Ying, and the atmosphere was very harmonious during the first contact between them.

In addition to her daughter Liu Ying marrying into the wealthy Wu family while studying abroad, Liu He, the eldest son of Liu Jianwei and his wife, also came to study in the UK in his early years and both studied at the University of London. Liu Ying met Wu Kangjie because of her brother Liu He, and then fell in love and got married.

After returning to China, Liu He joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as a senior secretary in the Embassy in the UK. He is also an elite figure in the younger generation.

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

After Sun Qishan met Wu Wenxiong, he took a flight back to Paris at dusk.

The British Chinese Business Association has been established for a short time, less than five years, and its members have developed less than 90 Chinese business enterprises developing in the UK.

The New Year's Eve dinner was held in the Chinese Friendship Center in London Chinatown. In addition to Chinese business representatives, Chinese and overseas Chinese living in the UK, Ambassador Zhang Zhicheng and other officials, including Liu Ying's brother Liu He, were also invited to attend today's dinner.

Chen Huai and Cheng Yi didn't know Zhang Zhicheng, the ambassador to Britain, so it was inconvenient to come over to build relationships.

Although I couldn't say anything in front of the older generation of Chinese businessmen, with Wu Kangjie and Liu Ying accompanying him and actively recommending Chen Huai and the younger generation of Chinese businessmen who attended the dinner had a harmonious exchange.

The dinner party was always filled with Chinese businessmen and embassy officials, while the younger generation gathered with Chinese businessmen.

Most of the Chinese businessmen who attended this New Year's Eve dinner are the same age as Chen Huai, who are trained by the family as successors. Other children who are ignorant or have no motivation in their careers have their own fun on New Year's Eve, and they will not come to such a serious dinner to join in the fun and waste their time to enjoy time.

Although most of the Chinese businessmen who attended the dinner tonight have successively held positions in family businesses or related profit or public welfare institutions, and their starting point is much higher than that of ordinary employees, when it comes to career achievements, Chen Huai has promoted the rise of a group with an annual output of nearly one million tons of steel, forming a considerable industrial chain group in the local area. Sun Yalin has an investment company with a total asset scale of US$40 to 50 million, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary Chinese businessmen.

However, although Meigang plays a great role in Donghua City and has achieved great results, it is still inconspicuous around the world. The Chinese business group in London naturally cannot pay much attention to the achievements made by Meigang.

If Sun Yalin hadn't had the previous financing of the project, she had been running repeatedly in France, the United Kingdom and other places, most people would not have even heard Mei Gang's name.

Wu Kangjie either made up for his previous judgment mistakes, or because of a pleasant afternoon conversation, or because of his parents-in-law who were patiently helped by Chen Huai at the airport, or because of both, he spared no effort to introduce the achievements made by Meigang in the recent years in continuous construction projects.

Due to the Wu family and Wu Kangjie's own efforts, he has a very high status in the circle of Chinese businessmen in the UK, and his weight is relatively heavy.

For a time, everyone turned the topic to Meigang, and Chen Huai naturally used all his skills to introduce the development of Meigang and some situations of Meixi construction to these Chinese businessmen who were determined to do something but were just in the early stages of their career development, and to communicate with everyone about the situation of the closed industrial fund invested by Zhongxin.

Time flies, and the dinner ends quickly. Although many people are still unsatisfied, most of them go home to reunite with their relatives on New Year's Eve. Chen Huai and Sun Yalin also bid farewell to Wu Kangjie and made an appointment to see you again after you have time. They take Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli back to the hotel.

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

When I returned to the hotel, it was still early, and Chen Huai, Sun Yalin and Cheng Yi and Yu Wenli went to the bar on the top floor and continued to drink and spend New Year's Eve.

"When officials in Qinghe visited the UK, they would also organize investment promotion activities, but I feel that your words seem to be a little different from other officials."

Yu Wenli had contacted Chen Huai during her last trip back to China, and everyone had a very unhappy time. The impression that Chen Huai left on her at first was like a very ordinary foreign engineer.

Although Yu Wenli later learned that Chen Huai's family background and that she had to maintain the current relationship due to family relationships with Cheng Yi, she did not leave any deep impression on Chen Huai.

After all, the young men and women she usually comes into contact with are either from a family background or have outstanding talents. With the impression of returning to China, she doesn't think there is anything special about Chen Huai.

There is nothing strange about this. There are many political and business families at home and abroad, including talented and excellent children, dandy and degenerate fools, and naturally, there are mediocre people with mediocre ability.

Yu Wenli's previous impression of Chen Huai was that she classified him as the last type of person.

Yu Wenli only met Cheng Yi after she went to study in the UK. She saw that there were countless wealthy families who pursued Cheng Yi over the past two years, and there were also many talented people among them. She once thought that it would be really worthless if Cheng Yi finally chose to marry Chen Huai because of family factors.

However, for most people, people need to compare themselves to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.

When I saw the Chinese businessmen in London, they were all elegant and talkative. In Yu Wenli's opinion, almost everyone was better than Chen Huai. However, at today's dinner, Chen Huai was at ease and calmly contacted people of all kinds. Although she couldn't tell anything special, she could feel that the Chinese businessmen who were usually arrogant were weaker in front of Shen Huai.

Chen Huai seemed to have a special ability to attract other people's attention to him, even if he looked so gentle, as if there was no sharp blade that could not be sheathed.

This strange impression made Yu Wenli become curious about Chen Huai.

Faced with Yu Wenli's problem, Chen Huai just smiled and said, "It's just for people to serve. Qinghe came to the UK to inspect the recruitment officials, the level of contact with people, and the conversations should be at the critical point. This time I went to London, but I didn't have to be too serious, and no one was watching me, so I naturally let go and talk randomly. I didn't expect this to scare you."

Cheng Yi sat next to her, smiling at Chen Huai and Yu Wenli talking nonsense.

When she went to the UK, she had contacted many people and had some knowledge of overseas Chinese business families. She knew that most Chinese businessmen who lived a wealthy life and enjoyed Western material life were not very attractive to them. Chen Huai obviously lobbled for some people in a targeted manner.

For these Chinese businessmen who are not short of money, earning more millions or even tens of millions in the mainland will not bring them higher material enjoyment; however, some of them actually have a strong desire for power while enjoying a luxurious material life, and deep down they still have an ambition to surpass their parents and do something.

What Chen Huai wants to win over is actually these people.

For other officials who went abroad to inspect investment promotion, their attention was only on top projects. Chen Huai's goal was obviously higher, and what he wanted was to gather a force.

Chen Huai obviously wouldn't talk about this thought to Yu Wenli, so he naturally started talking nonsense.

Cheng Yi naturally didn't want to see Chen Huai show off in front of every beautiful woman, but thought that Chen Huai didn't actually mean to tell her his mind. She turned to look at the colorful lights rotating in the bar, her mind was a little wandering.

Yu Wenli said embarrassedly: "If you don't want to say it, just pull it down." It is not convenient to ask Chen Huai what he was going to do this time when he came to the UK.

Chen Huai smiled slightly and asked Cheng Yi: "Why would Yalin help you open two rooms downstairs, and you will live here tonight, so as not to wait and be alone when you go back to the dormitory?"

Cheng Yi nodded and agreed. There were many New Year's Eve activities tonight. Most of the international students were having fun outside and would not go back to the dormitory. She didn't want to go back to the dormitory and spent it alone.

At this time, Sun Yalin, who was answering the phone in the aisle outside the bar, walked in and came to Chen Huai to talk in a loud music.

Cheng Yi will not be unconfident in her appearance, while Sun Yalin is tall and sexy, and is comparable to a professional model, but most beautiful women do not have it.

Chen Huai was sitting on the round stool next to the bar, and Sun Yalin stood at the bar and whispered to him.

Cheng Yi didn't know what they were talking about secretly, but her attention attracted Sun Yalin's long legs:

After returning to the hotel, Sun Yalin took off her long skirt for the dinner and changed into the trousers she usually wears, making her legs look extremely slender, her plump buttocks up, and her slender and soft waist. It is a sexy figure that all women long for.

Sun Yalin just received a call and received the news that Liang Rongjun and Fan Wenzhi were going to join forces with Fuji Iron Manufacturing on the basis of participating in the construction of the second phase of Meixi Power Plant and Meixi Port Terminal. Changqing Group then invested in the construction of a million-ton electric furnace steel project in Meixi.

Since Changqing Group is the key cooperation partner chosen by Provincial Steel, Sun Yalin received news from Changqing Group earlier than Chen Huai.

Chen Huai looked at his watch. It was the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year. He smiled and said to Sun Yalin: "It seems that they can't live a good life this year."

The music in the bar was very noisy, and Sun Yalin had to lean against Chen Huai's mouth to hear him clearly. She also leaned into Chen Huai's ear and asked, "Is it really necessary to drive Tan Qiping away from Donghua?"
