Chapter 32 Something happened in London
In the early morning of the next day after taking Xian Yaowu and the two of them to eat meat, Xian Yaowen entrusted the hotel to book a flight to Hong Kong in three days. Not to mention, booking through the hotel is very affordable. Not only is there no service fee, but there is also a 10% discount, six tickets. That's over a hundred pounds cheaper.

After getting the air tickets, Xian Yaowen asked the hotel to arrange a tour guide who could speak Chinese. After a few days in London, Xian Yaowu and Changchang Fei didn't have a good time to visit. Gu Baozhang and Dong Xiangqian, even more so, stayed in the hotel every day and didn't even smell the car exhaust in London. Pass.

Three days was just enough time for the four of them to take turns to go out for a walk.

After arranging things, Xian Yaowen went to a cheap sailor's hotel near Canary Wharf and met Robert's sister-in-law Cheryl in a cramped room.

Xian Yaowen had to admit that Robert was an honest man. Cheryl's appearance was really hard to describe. Her facial features could only be described as not deformed, and there was nothing beautiful about them when put together. Westerners believe that freckles on the face are a gift from God, but Cheryl is the darling of God's darlings, with so many freckles that people can develop trypophobia.

He is only about 152 centimeters tall, and his body is like a bucket. You can't tell where your waist is. Her chest seems to have been wiped by a skilled mason. It is smooth and has no burrs at all. It is not so much a chest as a chest. Knobs on wooden boards.

Out of politeness, Xian Yaowen forced himself to find the slightest advantage in Cheryl's appearance, but his efforts ended in failure, and he could only make a concise summary in his heart - ugly.

Xian Yaowen was a little resentful of Cheryl's appearance, not because of discrimination, but because she did not meet the requirements of a "tool person". He asked Robert to recommend someone for three reasons:
First, it would increase the trust between him and Robert. Having someone to look after the business would make Robert feel more at ease, reduce mutual suspicion, and invisibly reduce the losses caused by internal friction.

Second, he wanted to move Jinji Trading Company closer to the direction of a foreign company. On the surface, he wanted to have a British boss as the boss. This candidate did not need a noble status or management ability. To put it bluntly, he was just a puppet and did not need to intervene in the business at all. business, but occasionally attend banquets.

With Cheryl looking like this, she is really not very useful. If she is to be used, she will need to be assigned a position responsible for external relations, which will increase the cost a lot.

Third, smuggling is not a serious business after all, and it will be a matter of time before it is hit. Moreover, Jinji Trading Company’s potential big customers are from the mainland, and it seems that they cannot escape the fate of being sanctioned. He can accept Jinji Trading Company being sanctioned calmly, but he really can’t do it. It would be fine if we just go ahead and close it down, but we must not let ourselves be implicated. We have to do business in Europe and the United States in the future. Being on the sanctions list is not a good thing.

Therefore, he needs someone to take the blame and pay him a remuneration that is enough for the rest of his life. After taking the blame, the other person can go back to his hometown in the UK and continue living. As long as he does not engage in large-scale transnational business, there will be no impact at all.

However, diaphragm should belong to diaphragm, and people still have to use it.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xian Yaowen asked Cheryl to pack her luggage and followed him to the hotel to check in. After Cheryl washed up and got dressed, he took her to the store where he and Hepburn bought a coat last time.

The image was not enough and the equipment was inadequate. Xian Yaowen changed Cheryl from head to toe and went to the barber shop to get a fashionable hairstyle. When he came out of the barber shop, he passed by a small shop with "Launer" written on the door. Xian Yaowen saw The wallets and bags displayed in the window were pretty good, so I walked into the store to choose for Cheryl.

During the selection process, the salesperson enthusiastically introduced the products and boasted a few words from time to time, saying that Launer's craftsmanship in making leather goods was excellent and that many big brands were OEMed by it. He emphasized that the Italian brand Gucci was also one of its manufacturers. client.

Xian Yaowen must have a deeper understanding of Launer, a craftsman in luxury goods, than a salesman. He has enough understanding of the past, present and future.

A luxury brand that has just started is a good investment target. However, he has more important things to do now, and his own strength is still insufficient. He is unable to provide Launer with support other than funds. The other party may not pay attention to him. Even if you can sit down and talk, you will basically face harsh conditions.

Keep paying attention for the time being, and it’s not too late to come back to it when the time is right.

Amid the salesperson's chatter, Xian Yaowen chose a wallet for Cheryl, stuffed more than a hundred pounds of banknotes into the wallet, picked a handbag, and went to another gift shop to buy gadgets that women like to carry with them.

After going around, Cheryl's image has changed tremendously. Her facial features are still the same as before, but her body has become radiant and has a bit of a lady's aura.

At almost one o'clock, the two of them sat down in a restaurant.

When eating, Cheryl takes the knife and fork one step later than Xian Yaowen. She will first observe how Xian Yaowen uses it, and then learn to do it.

For half a day this morning, she felt that her life was more exciting than the past twenty years. She had been to some places that could only be seen in movies and novels, and she was wearing a coat that she had never thought about, carrying a hand-held bag. Putting the bag next to her, she felt extremely uneasy. While she suspected that everything was fake, she couldn't help but daydream about the future.

A few days ago, she would not have thought that she could leave Newcastle, come to London, or go to the far East. In her life, she only went to work, did housework and read novels after work, and almost no social interaction. When the passion arose, she only I was able to dig out the "Lady Chatterley's Lover" that I finally bought, and relied on the words inside to give my fingers magical power.

She was just a marginalized person before, what will she be like in the future?

Several pictures appeared in Cheryl's mind: a high-society ball, with a handsome gentleman dancing with her arms around her; in a garden with an endless horizon, ladies gathered together to drink afternoon tea with her as the center. ; I woke up in the arms of a man in the morning, opened my eyes, and saw Adam sitting opposite me.

Cheryl glanced at Xian Yaowen secretly and found that the other person did not notice her, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt disappointed. How could she not know what she looked like? Perhaps having a gentleman was the most important thing for her. It's a difficult thing. Xian Yaowen didn't know that he had become the object of Cheryl's sexual fantasy. Even if he knew, it would not matter. Just as men will have various sexual desires for beautiful women, women will also have similar feelings for good-looking men. There are gains and losses. If you are handsome, you will lose most of your freedom. You will spend 70% to 80% of your life living in a woman's dream. He has long been accustomed to this.

His heart was not in the restaurant at the moment, but in a law firm.

The British royal family is a family with many stories. Every once in a while, it will provide a good gossip story to the world's melon-eaters. Just say that more than ten years ago, Edward VIII, now the Duke of Windsor, gave up the throne and royal treatment in order to marry Mrs. Simpson, who was married for the third time, and caused a lot of commotion.

Xian Yaowen has eaten this gossip and analyzed the logic behind it a few days ago.

Although the British throne is more of a symbolic meaning and does not have much real power, this throne is still not something that anyone can sit on if they want. Similarly, once you sit on it, you don't have to sit down if you want to. You must follow rules whether you sit or not. In the UK, this kind of rule is put into the legal framework, that is to say, whether you sit or not sit must be supported by legal provisions.

When the Duke of Windsor wanted to quit, he asked his personal lawyer George Allen to provide him with legal support. Obviously, George Allen did a good job, otherwise the title of Duke of Windsor would not be known. Appear.

Jinji Commercial Bank needs to register a company in London, and then go to Hong Kong to register a subsidiary in the name of the London company. This is simple to say, but quite tedious to do. It is a good choice to spend some money and let professionals do it.

When it comes to doing this kind of thing, the most professional ones are naturally lawyers who specialize in commercial and financial services. It just so happens that Allen & Overy Law Firm founded by George Allen is very good at it. Xian Yaowen will go over to register the company and a series of attached property rights later. The design and conclusion of the contract is entrusted to the other party.

At the moment, he was thinking about what he should do to leave an impression on George Allen if he could meet him this time. If not, how should he establish a personal relationship with him in the future.

A very successful lawyer in the industry must have both professional professionalism and strong personal connections. Both are indispensable. Allen & Overy is a top law firm in the UK, serving many politicians and banking and financial institutions. Behind it is The relationship network that Xian Yaowen needs very much. As long as he establishes a certain relationship in London, it will be much easier to get along in Hong Kong.

Xian Yaowen puts himself in George Allen's shoes and thinks about what he has that can make the other party treat him differently. After thinking about it, all he can show for the time being is growth. He wants to make the other party treat him twice or three times. When your career develops rapidly and you are impressed, you will be included in the list of potential big customers and you will be surrounded by some benefits. At that time, it will be a good time to climb up the ladder.

After thinking about what to do, it was time for lunch to end, so I took a taxi and headed directly to Anli.

As Xian Yaowen had predicted, his small list was unlikely to catch the eye of a barrister. The only person who came forward to receive him was a trainee lawyer. After chatting for a while, a solicitor arrived.

After a long period of communication and a period of waiting, Xian Yaowen finally got the draft of the entrustment contract. He wanted to take it back to study and come back tomorrow morning to sign the formal entrustment contract.

After leaving Anli, Xian Yaowen helped Cheryl call a car back to the hotel. He also took a car himself and headed to the gold market area.

After the establishment of the Bretton Woods system, although the U.S. dollar became the protagonist of the world currency and the role of gold in both circulation and international reserves was reduced, because gold was the last barrier to stabilizing this monetary system, the price and flow of gold Instead, it has been subject to stricter control. Countries in the system prohibit residents from freely buying and selling gold. The market mechanism is difficult to function effectively. The London financial market is in a state of semi-paralysis.

Despite this, gold suppliers, mainly South African gold companies, have not left London. They are still doing business here, but the transaction method has become a bit more cumbersome than before, requiring a company that is not a member of the Bretton Woods System. Act as a transaction intermediary.

When he came to the gold market, Xian Yaowen chose one of the many gold companies to visit, because the name was domineering and direct enough. As soon as he heard the name of the "gold mining" company, he knew what it did for a living.

There is no roundabout testing, no intrigue, just like going to a grocery store to buy something, asking about the price, negotiating the weight, agreeing on the delivery place and payment method, paying a deposit, and getting a piece of paper that is not much different from the delivery receipt. A 27 , the sale of 200 pounds was concluded.

Since the delivery place is at Kallang Airport in Singapore, the other party charged a little more for shipping. However, they also promised that in the future, free shipping will be provided for a single transaction weighing more than 0.2 tons. Long-term cooperation will also provide free shipping. The delivery place can be Singapore or Macao.

Xian Yaowen doesn't complain when he has something to say. The Emotional Gold Mining Company has a clear understanding of the gold market in Hong Kong and can provide services within the legal scope. It pretends not to understand the illegal part.

The gold mining company probably also wants to complain. The restrictions on gold trading will naturally affect the company's operations. After all, gold mining requires costs. It is not easy to sell here, and there are daily expenses for mining over there. If you don't let the transaction be liberalized, , all the capital must be put in.

The next morning, Xian Yaowen went to Anli to sign the commission contract. He also finished the official business he had to do in London. He kicked Cheryl off to the "London tour group" and he had to do some unplanned private affairs.
