In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Although this was the driver arranged for him by the British government, he was not his subordinate, so Lin Haoran knew that he should give due respect to those who served him, and that this had nothing to do with his personal status.

“Okay, Mr. Lin, please get in the car.” Henry politely opened the door for Lin Haoran with his left hand, while gently supporting the top of the door with his right hand to prevent Lin Haoran from accidentally hitting the door frame.

Just ten minutes later, the Rolls-Royce stopped steadily at the gate of the Dorchester Hotel.

I have to go to Tanglou before six o'clock to attend the exchange meeting of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce with Tang Bo. It is almost four o'clock now, so I can't stay in the hotel for long.

"Mr. Henry, I'll have to trouble you again around 5:40. I will go to the tenement building in Chinatown again at that time." Lin Haoran said to the driver before getting off the car.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, I'll be there anytime you call." The driver made an OK gesture and said with a smile.

Carrying a lot of bags back to the hotel room, Lin Haoran sat directly on the sofa, turned on the TV and watched the local TV station.

These women seem to be born for shopping. Guo Xiaohan walked for more than two hours without looking tired at all.

After putting away her things, Guo Xiaohan returned to the hall and sat next to Lin Haoran.

"I'll go to my Uncle Tang's place later. Do you want to go with me?" Lin Haoran turned his head and asked.

"It's not appropriate for me to go. I'm tired after shopping all day. I'll just rest in the hotel." Guo Xiaohan shook his head.

Although she also wanted to go, she also knew that after all, it was the other party's elders who were leading them this time, rather than Lin Haoran going to the Chamber of Commerce himself, so it would obviously be inappropriate for her to go with them.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest at home." Lin Haoran smiled and didn't really care about this issue.

Sitting on the sofa, the two chatted and watched TV. In the blink of an eye, it was around 5:40 in the afternoon.

Lin Haoran took Li Weidong and Li Weiguo out again, leaving Guo Xiaohan alone in the hotel.

When we arrived at the hotel entrance on the first floor, the driver Henry was already waiting there.

At this time, it was the rush hour after get off work, and it took a full fifteen minutes to get from the hotel to the tenement building.

This is also the reason why Lin Haoran had to set off twenty minutes earlier.

After getting off the car, Lin Haoran said directly to the driver: "Mr. Henry, you can go back to the hotel first."

I don't know what time this exchange meeting of the UK Chinese Chamber of Commerce will end, and it would be a waste of time to stay here and wait.

Anyway, he will take Tang Bo's car on the way back, so he can just let Tang Bo take him back to the hotel.

After the car left the Tang building, Lin Haoran turned around and entered the first floor.

Unexpectedly, Tang Kun was already on the first floor.

"Haoran, since you are here, let's go. Of your two bodyguards, just one will go with you, and one will stay in Tanglou!" Tang Kun said after looking at the time on his watch.

"Okay, Uncle Tang, I will follow your arrangements tonight. Weiguo, you stay in Tanglou first, and I will come back to pick you up in the evening." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Tang Bo's car is a bulletproof Rover. Few people may have heard of this brand a few decades later, but in this era, it is a luxury car brand.

Rover is an important brand in the British automobile industry, with a history of nearly a hundred years and rich cultural connotations.

The brand was founded in Birmingham in 1878. It was once the official car of the Queen, the British royal family, the Prime Minister, and the Vatican, and is as famous as Rolls-Royce.

However, this luxury brand has gradually declined today, but it is still very common in the UK.

This private car can easily accommodate five people, but if three people sit in the back seat, the comfort will definitely be reduced, so it is just right to leave one bodyguard behind.

"Okay, boss!" Li Weiguo naturally had no objection.

Tang Kun's driver is his bodyguard. Lin Haoran had known him before. It is said that he is very powerful. He was originally a top fighter in the Triad. However, for some unknown reason, he retired from the gang and became Tang Kun's driver and bodyguard.

However, through this incident, Lin Haoran could roughly guess that this Tang Bo must have a close relationship with the Triad.

This may be the reason why he was able to succeed in London.

With a large community taking care of them, I guess everyone would have to give them some face.

"Xiao Wu, take this bodyguard to the lounge and serve him well." Tang Kun called Manager Wu from the lobby.

"Okay, boss!" Manager Wu replied respectfully.

"Let's go, get in the car. It won't be good to go there too late." Tang Kun turned around and said to Lin Haoran with a smile.

Several people got into the car. Li Weidong sat in the passenger seat, while Lin Haoran and Tang Kun sat in the back seat.

"Uncle Tang, what position do you hold in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the UK?" After the car started slowly, Lin Haoran sat in the back seat and asked Tang Kun curiously.

"I'm just a vice president, but there are six vice presidents in our chamber of commerce, so my position is not as prominent as you think." Tang Kun laughed, and although there was a bit of humility in his words, it was difficult to hide his inner pride.

Having said that, being the vice president of the British Chamber of Commerce is indeed something to be proud of. This not only requires a certain social status, but also a recognition of personal ability and influence, which cannot be easily achieved by wealth alone.

"I have also joined the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but I only serve as a supervisor of the chamber of commerce. Uncle Tang, you, as the vice president, are extraordinary." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"I was wondering why Wan'an could be the vice president of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce. He boasted to me several times some time ago. Now I finally know. It must be because of you, right?" At this time, Tang Kun suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

Tang Kun's mind is indeed quick. Lin Wanan can serve as the vice president of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce because of his identity as Lin Haoran's father.

Otherwise, with his original ability, it would be good enough for him to hold a small position.

Lin Haoran smiled awkwardly and did not continue the conversation on this issue.

The Rover drove quickly on the streets of London for nearly half an hour before finally stopping downstairs of a building with more than 20 floors.

After getting out of the car, Lin Haoran looked up at the building, which turned out to be a hotel.

Oriental Dragon International Hotel.

"Our exchange meeting will be held on the 5th floor of the building, which is the hotel's business conference restaurant. It is owned by a vice president of our chamber of commerce and is also a very well-known luxury hotel in London." Tang Kun introduced with a smile.

Lin Haoran nodded. He had heard of the Oriental Dragon Hotel. As far as he could remember, he had heard about it from his Chinese classmates during his four years studying abroad.

Several people took the elevator directly to the 5th floor.

When you walk out of the elevator, you will see a very spacious lobby.

At this moment, the hall was brightly lit and dozens of people had gathered there.

"Old Tang is here, come over and have a chat."

"Boss Tang, long time no see!"

"Brother Kun, I've heard a lot about you recently. Did you make a lot of money from that wave?"

……

As soon as Tang Kun and Lin Haoran entered the hall, dozens of people's eyes turned to Tang Kun, and many people greeted him.

It is enough to see from this that Tang Kun's position in this chamber of commerce is definitely good, and no wonder he can serve as vice president.

Tang Kun quickly integrated into the scene and started chatting with them.

As for the young man Lin Haoran, they regarded him as just an ordinary junior of Tang Kun and no one took him seriously.

After Tang Kun exchanged greetings with some important figures one by one, he called Lin Haoran over and introduced him to the people present.

"Everyone, this is one of my juniors, Lin Haoran, from Hong Kong. If anything happens in the future, please take care of him." Tang Kun pulled Lin Haoran and laughed.

"Since you are Mr. Tang's junior, you are naturally my junior as well, Haoran, right? If you encounter any trouble in Birmingham in the future, just come to me. I still have some power here. As long as it is not too difficult, I will do my best to help you with just one phone call. This is my business card." A man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses patted Lin Haoran's shoulder affectionately and laughed loudly.

"Brother Kun's junior is also my junior. Although my influence in London may not be as great as Brother Kun's, and I may not be able to help much with things that Brother Kun cannot solve, I am engaged in commodity trading and manage several large shopping malls. Haoran, you must be doing big business in Hong Kong, right? If there is an opportunity for cooperation, we must have a good chat."

……

As soon as Tang Kun finished his introduction, several people came forward to try to establish a relationship with Lin Haoran.

However, Lin Haoran also knew that these people were only doing this for Tang Bo's sake.

Otherwise, who would care about him?

"Thank you, all the business seniors. I will definitely trouble you if I need anything." Lin Haoran smiled and shook hands with them while saying polite words.

The purpose of coming here this time is to get to know more business contacts, especially those in Europe.

However, the people he wanted to meet were not those ordinary business members who took the initiative to get close to him, but those at the level of president, honorary president, vice president, etc., who were the ones with certain strength in the British and even European business circles.

After more than ten minutes of greetings, this wave of enthusiasm finally ended.

"Uncle Tang, your prestige here is really high!" When there was no one around, Lin Haoran couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

“In fact, this is not entirely due to my status. The reason why I am highly respected in the Chamber of Commerce is that I treat my friends sincerely and wholeheartedly, and I will never refuse to help if I can.

Therefore, many people in the Chamber of Commerce have received my help to varying degrees. Some of them later achieved extraordinary success and their wealth was even comparable to mine, but they still respected me.

Haoran, remember, if you want to win the respect of others from the bottom of their hearts, you must first give your sincerity, because hypocrisy can only be exchanged for hypocrisy. "Tang Kun taught earnestly.

"I see, Uncle Tang, what you said makes sense." Lin Haoran responded with a smile. (End of this chapter)
