v2 Chapter 555： 0 million pounds (1/2)

”Mr. Xia, your business is so big that I am ignorant, and I didn't even find a big man like you in London.”

Gerald Pat said sincerely, implying flattery but also very natural.

Being thick-skinned is the basic skill of a politician. As one of the rising political stars in the Conservative Party, Gerald Pat is naturally not bad in this regard. After learning about Xia Yu's details, his attitude became very enthusiastic, but he was not It will appear abrupt.

Xia Yu smiled faintly, feeling very normal, and Gerald Pat's attitude was exactly what he needed.

”Mr. Gerrard, I just came to London not long ago. I usually do activities at the Chinese Commercial Bank. Today is the second time I attended a large-scale cocktail party. The first time was not too long ago. It was the year-end reception of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce. So you I don’t know if I am normal.”

Gerald Pat moved in his heart and asked calmly: ”Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to be a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. I remember that the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is Mr. Wu Chengde.”

”Yes, my grandson and I are good friends. He also introduced me to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce some time ago and hung up as an honorary director.”

Xia Yu explained kindly, and inadvertently revealed another aspect of his influence.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Gerald Pat paid more attention to Xia Yu, and his attitude became more enthusiastic unconsciously.

Xia Yu and Gerald Pat both have their own minds and can feel what the other is thinking. The hypocritical two will naturally take the initiative to find the topic, so the chat is very happy, even Duke Carter Howard and Ai Lina and Duke Cavendish didn't know when they went elsewhere.

”Mr. Gerrard, not long after I came to the UK, I have a feeling that the Chinese seem to be more independent and have little participation in politics. The British government has no obvious policies for minorities. Is that true?”

Xia Yu provoked another topic.

When it comes to ethnic minorities and politics, Gerald Pat has to answer solemnly. After all, he is a politician. If he becomes the mayor of London, this is also a problem he has to face.

What's more, he also knew the identity of Xia Yu. As soon as the question came out, Gerald Pat would naturally think about the investigation, and wanted to state his views to Xia Yu in order to obtain his Recognized.

”Mr. Xia, this is indeed the case. Although the government's policies are all aimed at improving people's livelihood, developing the economy and alleviating social conflicts, it is impossible to cover everything because of funding, personnel, energy and other issues. It is necessary for the councillors of each constituency to discover what is happening in the district. Questions are raised in the parliament and will be submitted to the government for approval and promulgation after discussion and approval.”

”For minorities, whether they are Asians or Africans, we outsiders don’t even know what policies they need. Asians’ political participation is not high, especially Chinese, they basically give up politics. We have worked **** life and rights, but we are sorry, so I am sorry that the British government has let you down.”

Speaking of this, Gerald Pat shrugged helplessly, with an apologetic expression on his face.

To be honest, for Asians, especially the more special Chinese, whether it is the Conservative Party, the Labor Party or the Liberal Democrats, they have tried to win their support and votes.

But unfortunately, the ethnic Chinese are very xenophobic. After several political parties have worked hard, they found that no one can win, so all three parties will give up. As these voters do not exist, everyone is still on the same starting line.

Of course, if the Chinese are willing to change, I believe the three political parties will actively try to win them over.

I saw Xia Yu faintly smiled and shook his head: ”Mr. Gerrard, you don't have to be sorry, it is really our own willingness to say it, it may be a cultural issue, Chinese people generally do not have a high degree of political participation.”

”But I think that since we live in the UK, we have to adapt to the British environment. Every citizen has political life and rights. If we don't speak up, we can't blame others for a bad life.”

”I think the Chinese should make changes, and they can make changes.”

Speaking of this, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Gerald Pat.

Gerald Pat's glasses lit up and his heart was about to move.

Xia Yu is not an ordinary Chinese. It can be said that he is the most influential person of Chinese descent. He is also friends with the Wu family. If he is really willing to make efforts to let Chinese descent support him in running for mayor and support the Conservative Party, then absolutely Can keep the ticket difference far!

This is a great opportunity!

Gerald Pat said with a smile on his face: ”Mr. Xia, I agree with your point of view. If you need to use me, please feel welcome.”
