The party was scheduled for November 15th.
Jiang Chen never expected that Roberts would actually invite the famous Hollywood director Christopher Nolan. He vaguely remembered that this guy's salary when filming Star Trek was 20 million U.S. dollars. How could he treat this 10 million U.S. dollar business? interested
But Roberts quickly answered his confusion.
"Man, there is a difference between a documentary and a movie. What's more, it's just a documentary about a party. Are you planning to make a corporate culture advertisement into Star Trek?"
The salary is 10 million, the production period is only one month, and there is no need to worry about the box office. Where can I find such a good thing
The most important thing is that you can also connect with the Future People Group...
After half a month of preparation, the day of the party finally arrived. In addition to the senior management and outstanding employees of Futureman Group, almost all partners who have major business dealings with Futureman Group have received invitation letters.
However, the number of people who finally arrived was beyond Jiang Chen's expectation. Not only did it far exceed the expectation of 1,000 guests, it even went straight to 2,000 people. Fortunately, the planner Pajanel had already made preparations and arranged 40 long tables and other decorations on the beach. He also urged the team of chefs who served food and drinks to prepare 40 more long tables.
Carmen Rothschild was unable to attend due to important matters, but he still sent a representative and brought gifts from the Rothschild family.
Except for Mr. Kamen who was absent, the two most influential people in this party were Carson Lodge of the Boston Consortium and Saudi Crown Prince Nayef. In addition to these two big guys, there are also the chairman of Wal-Mart Group who cooperates with Future Human Biotechnology, the president of Rulka Automobile Company, a partner of Future Human Heavy Industries, Liu Yunzhong, the eldest son of the Liu family in China, and Chen Xiangjiang, a well-known real estate developer. Mr.... and more than a hundred entrepreneurs were also invited to visit.
With so many high-profile people attending, this party, which was originally an internal company celebration, has unknowingly "changed its flavor" and now has the character of a high-society banquet.
Because the invitation letter allows up to three relatives and friends, in addition to the invited people, there are also many people who come "uninvited" and hitch a ride with their friends. Among them are internationally renowned entrepreneurs, famous Hollywood movie stars, or ladies from high society...
All of them are paying attention, and everyone wants to climb the big tree of the Future People Group.
Even if you can't climb this big tree, you can take the opportunity of this party to meet many people who may be helpful to your career.
…
Melodious music surrounds the island, adding a touch of grace to this primitive southern scenery.
Sitting in the most remote corner of the party, Jiang Chen was originally planning to meet his old friend Roberts, but instead, a large number of people came to get close to him. The discount reminded him of two and a half years ago, when he had the honor to attend the birthday party held by Nayef for his princess. He was also sitting in the corner of the banquet, and the only person who chatted with him was the security guard of the banquet.
He vaguely remembered that the security guard's name was Bruce, and he was a mercenary from Blackwater Company. The reason for striking up a conversation was that the mercenary smelled "the smell of the same kind" from himself.
Now, even if he goes to the toilet, a Hollywood actress wearing a low-cut dress will encounter him at the door, trying to trick him.
"If you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives." If you think about it carefully, this statement really makes sense!
Looking back on the past, it makes people sigh.
A group of people were filled with enthusiasm, surrounding Jiang Chen like stars holding the moon. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, kept smiling and coping with it with ease. Whether it is conversation or behavior, they all show etiquette that exceeds the level of performance.
The people who are visiting this time are either rich or noble. Since others approach you with a hot face, you can't give them cold butts, right
Apart from those international businessmen whose names Jiang Chen could name, apart from the partners of the Future Man Group, there were only a few Hollywood stars. Although Wai Guoren is face-blind, he can still match faces and names for several of his favorite movies.
For example, Jeremy Renner, who played Sergeant William James in "The Hurt Locker" and played Hawkeye in "Captain America 3". And Tom Cruise, the leading actor in the "Mission: Impossible" series.
Jiang Chen is also a half-fan of the "Mission: Impossible" series. He really didn't expect to see his favorite characters off-screen in such a way.
"Thank God."
"You can thank him in person!"
After matching the lines, the two laughed loudly, and Jiang Chen and Tom's outstretched fists touched each other. This line is a classic dialogue in "Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol", so Jiang Chen remembers it very clearly.
"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang Chen to have seen the movie I starred in." Tom smiled, showing his white teeth, and stretched out his hand to shake Jiang Chen's hand.
"Not only have I watched it, I'm also a fan of your movie." Jiang Chen laughed in a half-joking tone.
"That's such an honor!" As expected of the actor, Tom made a funny flattered expression, which immediately aroused good-natured laughter from everyone around him.
At this time, a blond beauty with blue eyes walked into the circle holding champagne and stood next to Jiang Chen. Her red lips were slightly pursed and she smiled and intervened in the topic freely.
"I wonder if I also have that honor? Starring in a movie that Mr. Jiang has seen."
It was a very familiar face. Jiang Chen only looked at her for half a second before he successfully matched her appearance with the movie he had watched.
"Of course... I remember you are Hermione!"
Emma Watson! Jiang Chen, who had grown up watching Harry Potter, would certainly not fail to recognize this face.
Speaking of which, Miss Watson is also the product spokesperson for Future Human Bio-Nutritional Mixture.
"bingo!"
With her wavy hair on her temples lightly lifted, her head tilted, her chin raised, and her cold and arrogant aura, Emma Watson looks exactly like Hermione in Harry Potter. from!
This statement seems a bit strange, after all, she originally played the role...
"Oh! What an enviable guy. He actually got a kiss from Ms. Jessica! I drove a Ferrari and wooed her with a rose in my hand, but she refused to date me." A tall white young man envied road.
"It's just a kiss on the cheek, and that's nothing! Look over there, good guy, it's the actress Jennifer Lawrence! Oh my god, she's my idol!" The fat man who came with him said in surprise.
"F*ck, it's true! Even the best actress is here!" The tall man looked over and jumped up in surprise.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had been sitting aside and listening for a long time glanced at the two people who were startled and said calmly: "What's so strange about this? The banquet is of a very high standard. Since the Saudi Crown Prince and the Boston Consortium People all showed up, so it’s not surprising that these movie stars would support them... "
However, the two of them did not notice his speech. Another celebrity appeared, and the tall man suddenly shouted to his companions in shock.
"Damn it, this Jiang Chen's charm is like a fortress!"
"It's not Jiang Chen's charm, it's the charm of his money. Without the Future People Group, he wouldn't be anything special..." The middle-aged man said calmly, pretending to understand.
The feeling of being ignored was unpleasant, so he raised his voice this time in an attempt to attract their attention.
The old man who was passing by with champagne heard this and couldn't help showing an interested expression, stopped and interrupted.
"Oh? I happen to hold the opposite opinion. I think without Jiang Chen, the Future People Group is nothing great."
"What a stupid statement. I don't agree with your point of view. May I ask the old gentleman which company you run?" The middle-aged man curled his lips disdainfully.
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head.
"This, it's not convenient to say..."
It turned out to be a little shrimp that jumped out of nowhere. He must have hitched a ride with a friend...
Thinking this way, the disdain in the middle-aged man's eyes became even greater. However, while thinking this, he didn't realize that he didn't seem to be invited, and he just dragged himself in because of his business friends.
However, after entering the venue, he failed to establish a relationship with Jiang Chen, who was surrounded by international celebrities, and he didn't even get his business card. It was precisely because of this that he felt quite resentful at the moment. From the suit the old man was wearing, he couldn't tell what brand it was, so he guessed it was a bargain...
"Isn't it convenient? It doesn't matter. I own a high-tech company in Silicon Valley, and I think I am quite persuasive in Internet-related fields."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out the business card from his collar pocket with great style and held it in front of the old man between two fingers.
Glancing at the address on the business card with interest, the old man chuckled and did not pick up the business card.
"California Cosage Software? Interesting name."
"Thank you for your compliment. We are currently in the first round of financing. If the financing is successful, we will receive an investment of US$70 million." The middle-aged man took back his business card and said with a smile.
"Really? If we only count equity, First National Bank of Boston is one of my businesses." Carson Lodge said thoughtfully, holding champagne.
The business card was not put back into the pocket, but tilted a dozen inches and inserted into a goblet filled with champagne on the long table.
The middle-aged man's chin was drooped, and he looked at the old man's face. His mouth was so wide that it could fit a goose egg in!
"You, are you Carson Lodge?"
God, what did I just say to this old timer!
The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he just wanted to slap himself in the face. He thought the old man looked familiar, but he didn't expect that he was the Carson Lodge!
However, Carson did not share his common knowledge, and just responded with a teasing smile to his dull eyes.
"That's right. We only invest in promising companies and do not participate in the company's operations." (.)
