Chapter 489 A Century-Old Family Actively Seeks to Attach Itself to Others!
If Xu Wenxue doesn't understand what he said, then there's no need to talk about any cooperation.
Lin Yao doesn't want to cooperate with a loser.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Your teachings today have enlightened me!"
"After a hundred years, our Xu family has become more and more conservative and self-contained."
"Alas, the conflicts within the family are also complicated.
"Mr. Lin gave me some advice today. I will definitely follow your instructions to be the pioneer."
Facing Lin Yao's gaze, Xu Wenxue's face flashed with a trace of determination.
Lin Yao knew that it was normal for a large family like the Xu family to have various complex conflicts of interest.
In modern society, such a large family must be thoroughly reformed, and reform will inevitably encounter resistance.
But if there is no reform, the entire Xu family will only slowly die out.
Only after drastic reforms can the entire huge Xu family be reborn.
"Mr. Xu, as far as I know, you are not the patriarch of the Xu family yet, and your father has other sons. "
"You have to reform the entire Xu family. When you are in a position where the Xu family's words are kept, you will be qualified to cooperate with me in depth, understand?"
Boom!!!
Lin Yao's words exploded in Xu Wenxue's heart like an explosion.
It made him instantly stretch out his unprecedented ambitions. He looked at Lin Yao and said solemnly:
"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that I will meet your requirements in a short time."
Tap tap tap...
Just then, a sound of footsteps came from far away outside.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a mustache walked in and respectfully reported to Xu Wenxue:
"Master, Mr. Ye from Rongye Bank is here!"
After hearing the report from this mustache, Xu Wenxue frowned.
Rongye Bank and their Xu family's Xingye Bank are allies.
If he didn't come out to greet the other party, it would be unreasonable.
But now Lin Yao is still here, he can't leave here, right?
Just when he was struggling, Lin Yao said:
"Mr. Xu, everyone who comes is a guest, bring him in to drink tea together. "
Hearing Lin Yao's words, Xu Wenxue was relieved.
Then he said to Lin Yao: "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment, I will be back soon."
A few minutes later. Xu Wenxue came in with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked very cautious and dressed very decently, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his eyes were shrewd.
"Mr. Lin, please allow me to introduce this is Mr. Ye Huanlong, the boss of the Agricultural Bank. "
After hearing Xu Wenxue's introduction, Lin Yao's eyes were stern!
This Ye Huanlong is not an ordinary person, he is definitely a legendary businessman.
40 years ago, Ye Huanlong came to Great Britain from Hong Kong Island with only 20 US dollars.
From a vegetable cutter in the back of a kitchen, he rose against the wind and became the richest Chinese in Great Britain.
Lin Yao is of course interested in meeting such an inspiring and legendary Chinese.
"Mr. Ye, please allow me to introduce you solemnly, this is Mr. Lin Yao, chairman of Tianyao Group. ”
After hearing Xu Wenxue’s introduction, Ye Huanlong immediately greeted Lin Yao respectfully:
“Mr. Lin’s name is well-known, and it is a great honor to meet you today. As the richest Chinese in Great Britain, Ye Huanlong is of course very concerned about Hong Kong Island.
He has known Lin Yao’s name for a long time, and Lin Yao’s career has shocked him.
The young man in front of him is younger than his son, but his career is amazing.
Ye Huanlong knows more about the existence of Tianyao Group than Xu Wenxue.
“Mr. Ye, you are a legendary figure and the pride of us Chinese.” Lin Yao looked at Ye Huanlong and said with a smile.
Hearing Lin Yao say this, Ye Huanlong was a little embarrassed and said:
“Mr. Lin, to be honest, I am completely insignificant compared to you.”
“Mr. Lin’s business empire and the underworld empire have made Ye marvel and admire him very much!”
“Mr. Ye, you are polite, sit down and talk.” Lin Yao said lightly.
Then, under Xu Wenxue's arrangement, Ye Huanlong sat opposite Lin Yao.
Several people gathered together to drink Liverpool coffee and chat.
They talked very speculatively about the current securities situation and the situation of Chinese in the European stock market.
"Mr. Ye's company is developing well in Birmingham. I wonder if you have any unique views on the Shelby family?"
Suddenly, Lin Yao asked Ye Huanlong such a question, which caught Ye Huanlong off guard.
Ye Huanlong thought for a while, organized his words and replied to Lin Yao: "Mr. Lin, the most powerful underground force in Birmingham is the Razor Party."
"The core of the Razor Party is the Shelby family. I guess you must know that, Mr. Lin."
"The three Shelby brothers joined the Razor Party 70 years ago and became the boss of the Razor Party in just two years."
"In their hands, the Razor Party has now completely become the master of Birmingham."
"They can influence Birmingham's elections, economic lifeline, and all aspects."
"I know, isn't there a saying?"
"The fog above Birmingham is the smoke exhaled by the Razor Party, and whiskey flows in the blood of the Shelby family..."
Lin Yao said with a smile.
"Boss, why is it called the Razor Party?
At this time, Luo Wenzhong next to him asked his curious question.
He came to Great Britain from Hong Kong Island and had already begun to dabble in all aspects, but he had no idea about the underground world of Great Britain.
After all, he was just a professional manager before.
But now the situation is different. What Lin Yao wants is for Luo Wenzhong to collect all information from top to bottom, inside and outside of Great Britain.
Because Lin Yao asked him to be more than just a professional manager responsible for business.
But to become a prince and be able to take charge of one's own affairs.
For this reason, Lin Yao assigned him 58 war hall members. 16 Fengtang elites.
These people were sent here not just as decorations, but to make a difference.
At least you need to know something about London's underground world.
If someone is unfavorable to Tianyao Group, then they must first obtain their information, and then report to Lin Yao for targeted elimination based on the situation.
Compared with Luo Wenzhong, Xu Wenxue knew more about Birmingham, but only a little more.
Because the entire Xu family is in London, they don't know much about the surrounding cities.
Moreover, after the Xu family moved from Nanyang to London and settled down, the Xu family's family tradition was very strict and did not allow their descendants to have any contact with the powerful forces in the world.
Therefore, Xu Wenxue only knew about the existence of the Razor Party in Birmingham.
Birmingham's economy is very developed, he knows that, because it is a heavy industrial city that emerged during World War II and has many military and heavy industrial products.
But the Xu family did not bring their business to Birmingham because the city of Birmingham was too closely tied to the Razor Party.
Most serious businessmen dare not get involved, and those who can get involved are some powerful families or departments.
After hearing Lin Yao's classic description of Birmingham, Ye Huanlong's expression suddenly changed!
In his opinion, Lin Yao would actually know such a hidden history.
One can imagine how mysterious Lin Yao is.
Does Lin Yao have any thoughts about the Razor Party? Or do you have any ideas about Birmingham, a city with heavy industry and military industry?
"Mr. Ye, please tell me about the three Shelby brothers."
Just when Ye Huanlong was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, Lin Yao asked calmly.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin." Ye Huanlong finally came to his senses and said immediately:
"Mr. Lin, the three Shelby brothers are Arthur, Tommy and John."
"Arthur used to be the most powerful, but he died of esophageal cancer 19 years ago."
"The Tommy family, the second oldest, is now the core of the Shelby family. This man is very mysterious and very vicious."
"The third child, John, is a playboy. He drinks red wine and plays with women every day. He has no ambition and is not worth mentioning."
"Who is in charge of the Shelby family now?" Lin Yao asked.
Ye Huanlong immediately replied: "It's Jack Shelby, Tommy's youngest son. Jack is very smart and skillful."
"Under his leadership, 38% of Birmingham's industries have been controlled by him."
"These assets have long been laundered, so the Razor Party has huge influence, and can even be said to be control, over the city of Birmingham."
"This society here in London simply doesn't dare to go to Birmingham. If they compete with the Razor Party, the outcome will be no one alive and no corpses.
It will be crushed to the point where not even a scrap is left.
Even Scotland Yard's police officers were helpless against them.
Lin Yao was very satisfied after hearing Ye Huanlong's answer.
He knew that Rongye Company, where Ye Huanlong worked, could occupy a place in Birmingham.
A big factor is the close relationship with the Shelby family.
It was precisely because of the support of the Razor Party that the Ye family expanded their business throughout Europe and became the richest Chinese in Great Britain.
"Mr. Ye, are Tommy and John still alive now?"
"Yes, they are all still alive now, but they are all in their octogenarian years.
"Wenzhong, you go contact Dasha and tell me that I want to meet these two old men Tommy and John."
"Also, let Dasha and Aji bring people here!"
Lin Yao flicked the ashes from his cigarette and gave instructions to Luo Wenzhong.
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Luo Wenzhong quickly went out and called Dasha.
Hearing what Lin Yao said, Xu Wexue and Ye Huanlong were both stunned.
Even Ye Huanlong has never met these two old people, because they are the real old godfathers.
But Lin Yao could see them at any time.
At this moment, Lin Yao looked at Xu Wexue and Ye Long and asked lightly:
"I heard that you have established a chamber of commerce in Great Britain. My business has already reached this point. Can I join?"
"Mr. Lin, it is our greatest honor for you to join our Chamber of Commerce. It's not too late to welcome you!"
Xu Wenxue immediately replied.
Ye Huanlong came to visit Xu Wenxue today because of this matter.
Because Rongye Company and Nieshan Company are co-sponsors of this chamber of commerce.
"Okay, it's settled then. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yao turned and left.
Xu Wenxue looked at Lin Yao's leaving figure and was thinking in his mind.
Ye Huanlong on the side is still confused.
Because he didn't know why Lin Yao asked about the Razor Party and Birmingham, and why he still wanted to participate in their chamber of commerce?
Is it a curse or a blessing?
Will the Ye family be crushed by Tianyao Group?
These are all things he needs to worry about.
He knew how Lin Yao crushed other financial groups in Hong Kong Island, including the British and Chinese financial groups. He would not let them go.
He also knew how powerful Lin Yao was in the underworld.
It can be said that the underworld of Hong Kong Island has almost been unified by Lin Yao.
However, the current Lin Yao is not a man of the underworld.
According to some media reports, Lin Yao was a policeman before.
This makes it even more legendary.
A policeman undercover can transform the community in the entire area into a public welfare organization.
I am afraid that even the screenwriters in Hollywood dare not write this, but the reality is that Lin Yao did it.
…
At the same time, the Xu family.
In a 260-acre manor in Cambridge.
Two old men are playing Go.
Sitting on the east side is Ling Yun, the old butler of the Xu family, and the other is Xu Lang, the current head of the Xu family.
"Master, the young master is already talking to Lin Yao. Although the young master is 3 years older than Lin Yao, he is not as cunning as Lin Yao."
"I'm worried that the young master will be fooled by him."
Old Master Xu waved his hand and said, "Aren't there many young people? It's a good thing to suffer a little loss."
"As for that Lin Yao, he is really a dragon among men. I want to meet him."
The Xu family has moved to London for 132 years.
When it came to Xu Lang's generation, the former glory had shrunk significantly.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
So far, the man of the Xu family is the top richest man in the European Chinese circle.
It's a pity that Xu Lang is old and feels powerless for the huge family business.
He has three sons.
But these three sons are not very capable, they are all dandies who like to enjoy themselves.
Fortunately, the eldest son and grandson Xu Wenxue has been smart since childhood, and he is even a top student after going to school.
Although he has other grandchildren and sons, Xu Lang believes that Xu Wenxue is the heir to his entire family business.
It's just that Xu Wenxue has been raised in a honeypot since birth.
Although he is extremely smart, he lacks experience.
If you want to succeed in the treacherous business world, it is inevitable to suffer setbacks and traps.
If you have not experienced setbacks, you will not develop a tenacious style.
Xu Lang knows how Lin Yao rose in Hong Kong Island.
This person is cruel and wise enough.
Now that he has come to London to build a business empire, he will definitely have a relationship with the local Chinese circle in London.
Maybe Lin Yao will unify the underground world of Great Britain. Just based on this, Xu Lang wants to contact Lin Yao.
He first asked his eldest son and grandson Xu Wenxue to get close to Lin Yao.
"Master, let the young master and Lin Yao meet now. Isn't it a bit cruel?"
The old housekeeper Ling Yun put down the flag, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said with some concern.
Xu Wenxue grew up under Ling Yun's eyes.
He was worried that this seedling of the Xu family who had made a difference would be destroyed by Lin Yao?
Xu Lang put down the chess piece, then stood up and looked at the gray sky of Lundun and said:
"He must go through some storms. My time is short. The coffin lid has already rattled."
"You also know that no one else can support the entire Xu family. Only Wenxue can do this."
"In my lifetime, I must help Wenxue get on the horse and send him off." (End of this chapter)
