Chapter 999

Su Chen glanced at the magazine in his hand.

Time Magazine.

It seems that he met himself through this magazine.

Su Chen did not deny it, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hi Deng Sheng, you have not admitted your mistake, I am Su Chen, nice to meet you."

"Hello, hello." Deng Zhuting hurriedly shook hands with Su Chen, "Please forgive my blindness, I didn't recognize you just now, I didn't expect you to come to our restaurant, I hope the meal just now can satisfy you."

Su Chen smiled slightly: "It's very authentic, it really still maintains the Cantonese taste."

"Su Sheng, we are treating you to dinner today." Deng Zhuting said with a smile on his face, "If you are not in a hurry, you might as well stay and have a cup of tea first."

Su Chen thought about it seriously, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Then bother you."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Deng Zhuting said hastily, "This way please."

Naturally, it is impossible to drink tea in a restaurant.

He took Su Chen and his party up to the second floor.

The 2nd floor should be used by him to entertain some distinguished guests, both the decoration and the layout are quite different from the 1st floor.

In the 60s, Chinatown was still only the fringe area of ​​London's Soho district, with a mixed population, almost belonging to a "three no matter" area.

There are only a dozen merchants scattered in this area to do business.

Although the environment was harsh, the Chinese people here at that time were poor and white, with no influence and no one to care about them. Even if they were wronged, they had nowhere to appeal.

In order to change the situation of the Chinese, the old overseas Chinese at that time organized and established the "London Chinatown Neighborhood Association", which was the predecessor of the London Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.

After the establishment of the Neighborhood Association, it was great news for the merchants in Chinatown at that time.

With the continuous development and prosperity of Chinatown and the increasing number of merchants, the development and management of the Chinatown Neighborhood Association has become increasingly mature and standardized. In 1978, the London Chinatown Chamber of Commerce was formally established today.

Although his own business does not have any intersection with the business of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.

But it is not a bad thing to meet a few more friends and expand a few more circles when you go out.

Moreover, these old overseas Chinese are also important elements in promoting Chinese culture in London.

Even though many people are now British nationals, they are much better than those second devils.

Deng Zhuting prepared the tea and said politely: "Everyone, please drink tea."

"Please."

After drinking tea, he said: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am now the chairman of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, and these uncles and uncles favored me to manage the Chamber of Commerce."

"It turned out to be Mr. Deng. Please forgive my poor eyesight. I didn't recognize it just now."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "We were able to form the Huabu Chamber of Commerce when we had no power and no one to care about, and at the same time develop into what it is today, which shows that we Chinese are no less capable than foreigners, and Mr. Deng's election as chairman should be expected by everyone. "

"That's on this side of London. No one knows me anywhere else."

Deng Zhuting said with a smile, "Although we have been away from Hong Kong for a long time, we have been paying attention to the news in Hong Kong. Ever since we heard about the sudden rise of a company named Shengshi, we have been full of curiosity about this company.

In particular, your contact to acquire Swire, Jardine, Hengchang, Standard Chartered and other companies has become a benchmark in the minds of us expatriates. "

"It's just some normal business acquisitions."

Su Chen did not expect that London, which is thousands of miles away, would also pay attention to the news of Hong Kong. It seems that his defeat of these old British capitals has indeed brought inspiration to many Chinese capitals.

Of course, the acquisition of Li Cucumber back then also made many people regard him as a representative of Chinese-funded enterprises.

But now this representative has been replaced by Shengshi.

"The past few years in Hong Kong can be said to belong to the prosperous age." Deng Zhuting took over the conversation, "Looking at the veteran entrepreneurs in Hong Kong, such as Mr. Li, Mr. Huo, etc., although they have great achievements, their reputation in the prosperous age is even greater than theirs. Loud."

Saying so, I couldn't help but feel emotional in my heart.

It was such a young man who led an equally young woman to acquire a family of established companies.

Moreover, various acquisition methods emerge in endlessly, which is amazing.

These stories are not folklore, but can actually be seen.

More down-to-earth than those who always pretend to be self-made.

"Chairman Su, I don't know how long you will stay in London this time. If you have enough time, I would like to invite you to have a meal with our chamber of commerce."

Deng Zhuting said: "You have always been a role model for our generation and those young people who just came from Hong Kong, and you also gave us a hard sigh of relief. I believe they will be very willing to learn from you."

"Should be back in a few days."

Su Chen smiled, "We are only conducting normal commercial acquisitions, and we cannot use national righteousness or other measures to measure them. That is not in line with our acquisition principles, and we cannot wear the glory you bestowed on us."

It is said that the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

And he doesn't want others to kidnap him with patriotism or national righteousness.

Many times, some people wave the big stick of patriotism at every turn, but do nasty things.

While talking, people came up from downstairs one after another.

"Xiao Deng, I heard that the chairman of Shengshi is eating here, right?"

"Brother Deng, I heard that you met Chairman Su just now..."

"Did you not keep Chairman Su?"

With the sound of talking, many people have come to the second floor.

Men and women of all ages.

Nearly a dozen people.

"President Su, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I just sent people to find them to help identify if it's you. I didn't expect them all to come." Deng Zhuting's face was apologetic.

Because he was afraid that he would identify the wrong person, he asked someone to identify him, but in the end so many people came in a crowd.

I can't keep my face off, I always feel that I have done something unreasonable.

Su Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, since you have come to London, you naturally want to meet our compatriots."

With that said, he stood up and greeted these new arrivals: "Hi, I'm Su Chen."

The crowd exploded at once.

"It's really Chairman Su, I recognize you, hello, hello."

"You look really young. Hello, Chairman Su."

"Chairman Su, hello."

Everyone rushed forward to greet him.

"Hello." Su Chen greeted them one by one.

Deng Zhuting helped to introduce that these people not only cook food, but also Chinese medicine, casinos, supermarkets and other industries, which can be called diverse.

We greeted each other and sat down to drink tea.

"When we were in Hong Kong, we were sucked blood by Taikoo riding on our necks. Now someone has finally chased them away!"

An old man who runs a pharmacy said, "At first, we were still thinking about when we would meet the chairman of Shengshi, but we didn't expect to meet here today. He is really a heroic boy, and he is also very handsome."

"That's for sure. The Yankees have said that Chairman Su is the youngest and most successful person."

"Before I came to London, I only saw Chairman Su on TV. When I saw him today, he was even more handsome than the one on TV."

"..."

Hearing these compliments, Su Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "Actually, I only have two eyes and one nose. According to what you said, if I go to act in a TV series, I probably won't have anything to do with Qiu Guan and the others."

Seeing that this excellent young man is not in the slightest aloof and is also very talkative, the atmosphere of the scene will not be so awkward.

A pharmacy owner said, "Chairman Su, actually, I have something I want to ask in person. I wonder if you can answer it for me."

"You say."

"What is the secret of your success?"

Su Chen pondered for a while, but he didn't brag about anything, but said: "The secret of my success comes from trust, from trust in my partners and subordinates, and also from patience and creative risk-taking, which will allow me to go further. "

Everyone was silent for a while, and then applauded.

The scene suddenly turned into an exchange meeting, and someone went to fetch a camera for everyone to take pictures together, and Su Chen did not refuse.

Although I have a lot of wealth and influence, if I can also gain influence in foreign Chinatowns, it will be beneficial in many ways.

If your influence only stays above acquaintances and high-level people.

This is not conducive to his subsequent development.

After bragging for half an hour, Deng Zhuting suggested that he visit the local Chinatown Chamber of Commerce's industry, and Su Chen readily agreed.

Starting from this restaurant, we took a walk around and visited the industries of these overseas Chinese.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to give them chicken blood.

"Hardness and hard work are the traditional virtues of Chinese people. I believe that with good quality and shrewd minds, businesses in Chinatown will be more and more prosperous!"

"it is good!"

Everyone clapped and applauded.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already afternoon.

James came to report to work: "Sir, Whit does not want to sell Vodafone."

"That's it." Su Chen thought for a while, and said, "It just so happens that I have a plan..."
