Alexander gave Wang Bo a round of introductions, and everyone at the scene basically knew each other. Then he went to entertain others and asked Wang Bo to chat with anyone at will.
Alan Luzer was accompanying him. He knew that the introduction was too fast and Wang Bo might not be able to remember the names and identities of these people clearly, so he came here to help him.
This requires a thick skin. Unless you have a strong background and a high status, no one will take the initiative to deal with you, because everyone is gathered in a small circle, and you have to take the initiative to join the circle.
It's easy for Eva to deal with this. When women get together, they only talk about cosmetics and clothes. She can find a topic by just finding a group of people and expressing her views on a certain cosmetic.
It is not easy for Wang Bo to find topics here, because this is a gathering sponsored by the leader of the Green Party. Most of the people present are Green Party members, and the topics discussed are related to political parties, so it is not easy for him to intervene.
Fortunately, he searched the Internet for information on these topics while on the road, and he could barely understand what they were saying.
He walked around and listened and found that most people were talking about the Green Party's participation in the general election.
The New Zealand Green Party has developed rapidly in the past two years, and its support rate in election polls has increased step by step.
The reason why everyone is talking about the general election this time is because the ruling New Zealand National Party broke out some political scandals that were detrimental to the election a few days ago. The National Party’s biggest competitor, the New Zealand Labor Party, did not get much support. On the contrary, the Green Party The third largest party has seen a significant increase in support.
In particular, the Green Party not long ago called out the policy of "free bus rides for students during non-peak hours", which attracted strong attention from New Zealand student organizations, and the support rate was even higher.
That Qingyang was more suitable to enter the political circle than he was. He was embarrassed to go up and interrupt casually, but Qingyang had already taken action.
Saying "Let me talk about my humble opinion", Qingyang got the opportunity to express his opinion. The people present were all qualified, had status, and appeared friendly on the surface. Anyone could express their opinion.
The reason why Lao Wang couldn't blend in was that he wasn't very interested in political topics and didn't know much about them. He felt that in this situation, silence is golden, and the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.
Thanks to Allen for accompanying him, Lao Wang chose to take a walk by himself.
People kept greeting him on the road. He dealt with this aspect very appropriately, but he only dealt with them and did not deliberately make friends with anyone.
Of course, if someone comes up to chat with him, he will not ignore them and respond politely. He is well versed in the three-no strategy of "not flattering, not being arrogant, and not showing off".
It quickly became dark, and the yard was lit up with white lights. However, the weather was a bit cold, so the participants moved to the restaurant.
There is indeed a difference between rich people and rich people. There is a very large banquet hall in the villa, with a European-style long dining table in it. The main dining table must be twenty meters long!
The lights in the restaurant were as bright as day, but candles were still lit on the table. Dozens of waiters shuttled around, constantly placing large and small shiny plates on the table.
These dinner plates are covered with dinner covers. Before they are opened, a meaty aroma fills the air, whetting your appetite.
Alexander walked past Wang Bo and said with a smile: "Do you feel that the smell of meat is a bit familiar?"
Lao Wang was startled, and then he thought of the meaning of his words: "Is this beef produced on my ranch?"
The aroma of beef and mutton were different when made into steaks. He could already smell the aroma of beef.
Alexander nodded with a smile: "Yes, the beef and mutton produced by your Sunset Ranch has become popular in Christchurch. It is so delicious. Now my children only eat meat from your ranch."
"There is a premise that you can afford such a high price. I really hope the price is lower. It costs two hundred New Zealand dollars to eat a pound of beef. This is really unacceptable." The person next to him joked.
Wang Bo looked at him, and the man reached out his hand to introduce himself again: "Hello, I am Truman..."
"Mr. Truman-Pitt, South Island seafood tycoon and freight tycoon, you don't need to introduce yourself again. I remember it clearly. In fact, I have heard about you in the news many times before."
"Really, what do you know about me?" Truman looked at Wang Bo with interest.
Lao Wang smiled and said: "I understand your acquisition process of Tula Freight Group. It was really a classic corporate merger and acquisition process."
He had nothing to do just now, so he searched online for the deeds of some of the people who participated, and there happened to be an introduction to this freight tycoon.
Truman had just been promoted to a freight tycoon. He had previously been mainly engaged in seafood transportation and sales, made a fortune from this, and then acquired Tula Shipping, one of New Zealand's top ten freight groups.
They were sitting next to each other and both sat at the main table. Eva and her little girl sat on the left side of Wang Bo. Alexander and his wife took their seats, and the others followed suit.
At this time, a waiter came up with a crystal bottle and asked what kind of drink he wanted. His seat was not far from the main table. Alexander said to him: "I suggest you try our No. 81 wine. I bet you will fall in love with it." It tastes like that.”
Truman added: "The No. 81 wine is a ten-year-old wine produced by Mr. Alexander's own estate. It is difficult to buy it."
"The price is much more expensive than beef, ten to twenty times the price of beef of the same weight." These words were more realistic and gave Lao Wang an intuitive unit to measure this wine.
Wang Bo was surprised, so expensive
Naturally, he and Eva drank wine, and Little Loli got a glass of milk.
"Can I have something else to drink? I drink milk all day long." The little girl asked Eva with a wrinkled face.
Eva helped her put on the napkin and said, "Then I'll change it to the commander's water."
"Forget it, I'd better drink milk. Drinking milk will give you strength. Only with strength can you dominate the first grade of school!"
When it was time to start the meal, Alexander tapped the porcelain plate with his silver spoon. Old Wang laughed softly. This kind of behavior was strictly prohibited in his hometown. When he did this when he was a child, his father beat him severely and said that only beggars wanted it. That’s why the rice is knocked on the bowl.
But in large Western-style gatherings, this is acceptable behavior, intended to attract everyone's attention and serve as a signal to eat.
"Thank you all for participating in the event that Vajona and I held..." Alexander gave a pre-dinner wine speech. After briefly thanking everyone, he raised his glass.
As the voice of "Thank God for giving me food" fell, everyone began to taste the wine.
Wang Bo took a sip, and the taste was slightly astringent. He felt that it was not smooth enough, so he winked at Eva and whispered: "How is this wine? I'm used to beer, and I don't think this thing tastes good."
Eva hesitated and said: "I actually don't know much about wine tasting. To be honest, I don't feel very good."
"Let's grow our own grapes when we go back and make good wine!" Lao Wang said with determination. It would be a waste to leave the vegetable garden empty. It should be effective to grow fruits. Then wine making will make him a fortune.
