Chapter 488 The Best White Gloves!
Lin Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to stay here for a few more days, but don't worry, your uncle will be back soon!"
"I believe that with your uncle's ability, he will get you out soon."
Maxim nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, if you ever need me in the future, I will use my life to repay you!"
Lin Yao smiled and nodded, and then said to him: "Just contact Tony from now on."
"If there is anything major, you can contact me directly. Also, you have to convince your uncle to have the right to cooperate with Boris."
"Okay, Mr. Lin!"
Later, Lin Yao told him his personal phone number.
Then he left another $200,000 to make his life in prison more comfortable.
Using money can make the people who supervise him in the prison treat him better, and also avoid some unknown and unpredictable risks.
In fact, the money Lin Yao invested in Boris had an additional condition that he let Boris promote Maxim.
Boris is only a short-term investment, Maxim is a long-term investment!
…
At 10 o'clock that night, Lin Yao got on the international flight to Istanbul.
Then we have to spend a day in Istanbul before returning to London.
The reason why he did not return to Hong Kong Island was because Luo Wenzhong told himself that Xu Lang, the most famous Chinese family in Great Britain, had the intention to join the Tianyao Group.
The Xu family originally came from Yangcheng 13 Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
It began to prosper in the 18th century and even became the largest creditor of the East India Company.
In the mid-18th century, the Xu family's assets had reached 30 million silver dollars.
Until the 21st century, the name of the Nanyang Xu family was still spread around the world, but it seemed very low-key.
But low-key does not mean lack of strength.
In the early 20th century, the Xu family had bought many properties in major cities in Great Britain and began to take root in London. Chinatown was established in Xu Lan’s father Xu Lin’s generation.
Because of this, Lin Yao decided to go to Lundun to do some work to lay a solid foundation for dealing with Peng Modai!
Now that he and Peng Modai have almost broken up, the confrontation will be more intense in the future.
The one who can take the last step in Peng's position is Lundun!
For this reason, Lin Yao went to London to meet the Xu family first despite the fatigue of the journey.
In fact, there was also a more pressing matter waiting for him on Hong Kong Island.
But Lin Yao calculated that he still had a week to half a month before he could go to Hong Kong Island to finish the matter.
Also, coming to London to deal with the Xu family is also very important to solving the Hong Kong Island incident.
Because the last generation of Peng had already begun to hatch a big conspiracy and started to hold elections for legislators, something that had never happened before in Hong Kong Island.
After the plane arrived in London, Luo Wenzhong took Lin Yao to the castle.
Lin Yao bought this castle for 500 million pounds.
At 10 o'clock that morning, Lin Yao met Xu Lang's son Xu Wenxue in the castle reception room.
Xu Wenxue was wearing a black suit and hairspray. He was about twenty-five years old in college and looked young and mature.
"Why isn't your father Xu Lang here now?"
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Yao directly threatened Xu Wenxian.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, my father is still undergoing medical treatment in country M."
"Originally, he wanted to come in person, but due to an emergency, the doctors here in London couldn't treat his disease well."
"Before getting on the plane, he kept telling me that I would come and visit Mr. Lin whenever he came to London."
"My father said that Mr. Lin, you are a business genius that we Chinese only have once every 500 years!"
Xu Wenxue said to Lin Yao with a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
Hearing what Xu Wenxue said, Lin Yao smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Xujia Neng has lasted for five generations and developed for more than 200 years, so its heritage is naturally profound.
"Mr. Xu, come, drink tea..."
Lin Yao pointed to the Qimen black tea on the table and said to the student Xu Wen.
"Thank you Mr. Lin!"
After Xu Wenxue sat down, he picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip.
The way he behaves is graceful and well-educated.
"As far as I know, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, your Xu family was doing well in Nanyang."
"Later, the whole family moved to Great Britain, and a Chinatown was opened, with influence from Southeast Asia to Europe!"
"Millions of Chinese people are inextricably related to you. I am very envious." Lin Yao said slowly and thoughtfully.
"Mr. Lin, you are ridiculous. Although our Xu family has been somewhat influential for five or six generations, it is really far behind compared to you, Mr. Lin."
"As far as I know, Mr. Lin has become the richest man in Asia in less than three years."
"Your potential influence is unfathomable."
"To be honest, our Xu family really has nothing to discuss in front of you."
Xu Wenxu said with a humble face.
Ordinary Chinese in Great Britain may not be aware of Lin Yao's influence.
But as a member of the Xu family, he certainly knows what kind of presence Lin Yao has been in the Chinese world in recent years.
"Mr. Xu, don't be so polite and speak more realistically. Let me ask you, what do you think of Dongda University?"
Lin Yao looked at Xu Wenxu and asked directly.
Because this issue is very critical.
If the Xu family is as yellow-skinned and white-hearted as Li Bancheng, then this is the kind of person Lin Yao must deal with first in Great Britain.
Hearing Lin Yao's question, Xu Wenxue was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Mr. Lin, although our Xu family has been wandering overseas for a hundred years, our roots are still in the East!!"
"Eastern University has a history of 5,000 years, and its civilization is incomparable to the British Isles."
"Needless to say, our Xu family has been following the generation names in the mainland for more than 200 years."
"The generation names of our generation are Cunshi Yongshengchang, Wenzhang Guangsedi, Qinjian Hengfengyi... For example, I belong to the Wenzi generation."
"My father said publicly when he was interviewed by Chinese TV that our generation is still willing to return to the mainland to settle down."
"We want to build a new ancestral hall. Compile a family tree"
"My father also knows that Mr. Lin is a famous patriotic businessman. My father in our Xu family also admires you very much and often asks me to learn from you."
After listening to Xu Wenxue's words, Lin Yao smiled slightly.
He was very satisfied with Xu Wenxue's words.
The young man in front of him has an unquestionable sense of identity with the land of Yanhuang.
Because he said these words with real feelings, it is impossible to pretend.
It can also be seen from here that the Xu family has indeed never neglected the education of recognizing ancestors and returning to one's roots, which is very rare.
"By the way, I know a little information, I don't know if it is true or not, your Xu family has a very close relationship with Li Bancheng of Hong Kong Island."
"Li Bancheng is a person who is inclined to the West, a typical yellow skin and white heart, don't you Xu family know it?"
Lin Yao suddenly changed the subject and looked at Xu Wenxue and said lightly.
Hearing this, Xu Wenxue immediately replied: "Mr. Lin, before our Xu family cooperated with Li Bancheng, he did not show any disrespect for the mainland."
"It's only in the past few years that he has revealed his fox tail. Our Xu family has rarely cooperated with him."
After hearing Xu Wenxue's explanation, Lin Yao smiled and said: "Very good, you are telling the truth, the same as what I investigated."
"Your Xu family is very lucky to have your father and son."
"It is a great fortune for our Xu family that Mr. Lin knows you. I wonder if you can honor us to have lunch at our Xu family?"
"No problem, yes!" Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar and agreed.
Hearing Lin Yao's straightforwardness, Xu Wenxue was delighted.
One of the main purposes of his visit to Lin Yao this time was to invite Lin Yao to the Xu family to establish a preliminary relationship.
He originally thought that the probability of success for the first invitation might not be high.
But he didn't expect that Lin Yao was so straightforward and agreed directly.
This surprised him and made him very happy.
The reason why Lin Yao agreed to the other party so straightforwardly was because the other party was patriotic.
This was the only key factor.
Without this factor, no matter how powerful the Xu family was and how deep their foundation was, Lin Yao would never have regarded the other party as an ally.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yao called Luo Wenzhong and said to him: "Make arrangements. I want to go to London and have a meal at the Xu family."
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Luo Wenzhong immediately arranged the vehicle and security team.
Half an hour later.
A convoy of 13 vehicles set out from the castle and arrived at a manor in the suburbs of London.
This is the Xu family manor.
Xu's Manor is built beside the Thames River, and the scenery is very beautiful.
The area of Xu's Manor is 50,000 square meters, and it consists of three quaint castles.
The history of each castle can be traced back to the Middle Ages.
Walking into one of the castles, under the guidance of Xu Wenxue, he went up to the 5th floor of the castle.
What surprised Lin Yao was that the outside was a medieval castle in British style, but the overall style inside the castle was all Chinese.
The overall layout and various furniture are full of Chinese style.
In a tea room in the castle. Lin Yao sat in the chief position.
Xu Wenxue and Luo Wenzhong sat down one after another, and then several slim beauties in red cheongsams came in with various tea snacks, fruits and desserts.
These beauties began to show tea art in front of Lin Yao.
The whole set of smooth movements was very skillful and quite artistic.
"Mr. Lin, this is Liverpool's top black tea, please have tea."
Xu Wenxue picked up one of the cups and said respectfully to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao took a sip from one of the cups.
This Liverpool black tea is still very mellow. Although it is not as delicious as Keemun's special black tea, it is also a top-grade tea.
After drinking this cup of tea, Lin Yao asked: "Mr. Xu, what is the relationship between your Xu family and Taikoo Foreign Company?"
Hearing Lin Yao's question, Xu Wenxue's face changed slightly, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became solemn.
After seeing Xu Wenxue's performance, Lin Yao already had the answer in his heart
It seems that the relationship between the Xu family and Taikoo Foreign Company is very complicated.
Because Xu Wenxue has been neither humble nor arrogant since he met him, he is generous and well-educated.
But when he asked this question, his face subconsciously changed instantly?
After a few seconds, Xu Wenxue's face showed a variety of expressions, including anger, unwillingness, and a hint of frustration and helplessness.
This was somewhat beyond Lin Yao's expectations.
"Mr. Lin, let me tell you that Taikoo Foreign Company is a group of shameful thieves and thieves." Xu Wenxue gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh, really? Mr. Xu, I would like to hear more about it." Lin Yao said lightly.
"Mr. Lin, Swire has had a connection with our family for 70 years."
"At that time, my great grandfather was still in charge of the entire family, but our entire Xu family's business in Nanyang and Shanghai was defrauded by Taikoo Foreign Company!"
"If I were to expand on it, I'm afraid it would take more than a day to finish."
"Anyway, our Xu family and Taikoo Foreign Company can be said to have an irreconcilable feud."
"Does your Xu family have any ideas about Taikoo Foreign Company now? Or do you want to take over Taikoo Foreign Company?"
Lin Yao asked with a smile.
Xu Wenxue shook his head helplessly and said:
"Mr. Lin, with the strength of our Xu family now, how can we take over Taikoo Foreign Trade!"
"Our current industry is actually not much, but it is just a false reputation. We have no confidence to fight Taikoo Foreign Trade."
"Taikoo Foreign Trade has been developing in Hong Kong Island for decades, but it is the world's top financial group."
"Alas, I want revenge, but I don't have the capital to take revenge."
"Mr. Xu, I can tell you that Taikoo Foreign Trade is no longer the same as before."
"Under the pressure of our Tianyao Group, and they will soon be closed, they have to roll back to their old nest in disgrace. This is the opportunity for your Xu family."
"As long as your Xu family seizes the opportunity, they can soar to the sky. Taikoo Foreign Trade did this before, so they made the right bet."
"Now your Xu family has to take a gamble, otherwise how can you take revenge?"
Hearing Lin Yao say this, Xu Wenxue widened his eyes and looked at Lin Yao in disbelief.
He was shocked to the core. The elegance and steadiness before had disappeared.
Lin Yao knew that although the Xu family had a very deep foundation, it had only lasted for more than 200 years.
In modern times, the Xu family has been relatively conservative for several generations.
But now is the time when the major consortiums in Great Britain are reshuffling, and conservatism is not a good thing.
Conservatism will lead to corruption until the demise of the entire family! !
For Lin Yao, the reason why he wants to support the Xu family is to make the Xu family his white glove.
If he is too sharp in Great Britain, it will cause great pressure.
According to the current weight of Tianyao Group, it can't stand it at all.
But if the entire Xu family is in the front to charge for him, he will be in the back to plan.
Then everything will be much smoother.
Only by cooperating with him, the entire Xu family can also obtain huge benefits. Isn't this a win-win choice?
Xu Wenxue is not a fool. He certainly knows why Lin Yao chose him and his family.
It is because he has value that can be used in the Xu family now, otherwise Lin Yao will not cooperate with him at all.
After a minute or two, Xu Wenxue showed a firm look and said to Lin Yao:
"Mr. Xu, please help our entire family."
Then he stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Yao.
"Mr. Xu, you should be only two or three years older than me this year."
"You are very smart, I admire you, we have broad space for cooperation!"
Lin Yao took a sip of Liverpool black tea and said with a smile.
Lin Yao's words just now not only aroused Xu Wenxue's passion.
It also made him understand that only he could make their entire Xu family glorious again and rise again. (End of this chapter)
