Seeing that Li Mu was very polite to Wendy Goldberg and even offered to contact him after Wendy went to China, Davidson Goldberg felt particularly comfortable.
With a bright smile on his face, he said to Li Mu: "Cambridge University and Yenching University in Yenching are engaged in a cultural exchange activity between China and the United Kingdom. This exchange activity is for both sides to recommend five graduate students to each other's cultural majors. Wen Wendy’s tutor and the dean of their college really hope that Wendy can be a part of this exchange activity. I think there is a high probability that Wendy will go to Yanjing at the end of this year or early next year. Then she will have to ask Li Please take good care of me, sir."
Wendy Goldberg also smiled and nodded, and said in Chinese dignifiedly and ladylikely: "I may have to ask Mr. Li to take more care of me in the future."
Li Mu did not expect that Wendy Goldberg's Chinese was actually very standard, even more standard than that of many foreigners who specialized in studying Chinese. He subconsciously praised in Chinese: "I didn't expect that Miss Wendy's He speaks Chinese so well."
Wendy Goldberg smiled slightly and responded humbly in Chinese: "Thank you Mr. Li for the compliment, but I have been learning Chinese since I was six years old, so it is not that good at all."
Wendy Goldberg is the most outstanding girl among the younger generation of Goldberg. She grew up under the strict European aristocratic education since she was a child. Not only her external conditions are impeccable, but her knowledge, quality and temperament are also excellent. Incomparable to ordinary girls.
In order to train Wendy, the entire Goldberg family invested a lot of energy and financial resources. She has been studying continuously since she can remember, studying finance, literature, foreign languages, dance, piano, painting, and art. Appreciate and learn the tedious etiquette, makeup and style, conversation and behavior of aristocratic women, and even psychology. For her, not only Chinese, she is basically proficient in several mainstream languages in the world.
Li Mu asked curiously: "Miss Wendy speaks Chinese so well. Have you ever been to China or lived in China for a long time?"
Wendy Goldberg said softly: "Unfortunately, although I have always longed for China, I have never been there until now."
Li Mu sincerely praised: "I have never been to China, but I can speak Chinese so well. It's really admirable."
Davidson saw Li Mu and Wendy chatting very enthusiastically in Chinese. Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he was still very happy. In any case, this was a good start.
In fact, Davidson has long been considering the marriage arrangement of Wendy Goldberg. Now, the 22-year-old Wendy is already a girl sought after by the entire European upper class. Every big family is prosperous, and there are many men of the right age. Therefore, there were already many wealthy European families interested in marrying Wendy. Davidson declined those families whose strength could not meet his discernment, and adopted a trick on several powerful families in order to maximize the benefits of Wendy's marriage.
Previously, Davidson had been swinging between several top families, but since Li Mu agreed to attend this party, he had forgotten all those families that made him unable to choose. In his eyes, Wendy Goldberg The best destination is not for any giant club in Europe, but for the young world rookie in front of him.
People who are staring at Li Mu are not just Davidson, nor are they just the tycoons in Europe. Even wealthy families all over the world are staring at this young Chinese man who has no background but has created huge wealth and career.
There are many wealthy families in the world, but wealthy families also have their shortcomings. For example, the Goldberg family has tens of billions of dollars in assets, but these assets are divided among several generations and given to dozens of direct blood relatives. The assets of the members are really scattered. Even Davidson himself is only worth a few billion dollars in total. He inherited his ancestor's century-old family business and worked hard for half his life. His total net worth is not as high as that of Li Mu. He can make a lot more money by working with Google, so in the eyes of people like him, Li Mu is a god, a god who can make money faster than he can print it.
For such a god-like existence, there is no way to win over him. After all, the total size of the entire family is much smaller than the other, so the best way is to marry.
Wendy Goldberg is also very clear about the tasks assigned to her by her family. If she can successfully make this young Chinese millionaire fall in love with her, she will become the family's biggest contributor. This is also the thinking pattern she has been cultivated since she was a child.
A value that Goldberg instills in every family member is that as a member of the Goldberg family, everything must be based on the interests of the Goldberg family.
For all the younger generations of the Gao Bai family, they are very clear that independent love and marriage do not exist and are not necessary for them. Young people in every family, regardless of men and women, must have a clear understanding of the issue of marriage. The family chooses the marriage partners, and they must obey the family's arrangements. Otherwise, they will not only become the sinners of the family, but may even miss out on the family's wealth.
A family member who pursues the so-called "own happiness" regardless of family interests will be completely abandoned by the entire family. Not to mention other members of the family, even his biological parents will not forgive him. Such a person will be kicked out of the family and will be punished for life. Not to get any help from the family. Almost every big family adheres to this principle. Otherwise, if they are soft on this issue, the result may be the complete defection of the entire younger generation.
Steve Johnson on the side began to feel a little embarrassed. The entire Goldberg family had focused their attention on Li Mu. No one paid attention to him. Even the other guest he invited, Anne Hathaway, They were like air, and no one even looked at her.
Anne Hathaway was also a little embarrassed and depressed at the moment. The reason why she agreed to attend this party was not to integrate into the upper class society in Europe, nor to come here to catch a rich husband. She was entirely doing it for Li Mu, but why? Unexpectedly, the Goldberg family actually had another motive for inviting Li Mu, and that motive was Wendy Goldberg, who was having a good chat with Li Mu at the moment.
With such an obvious approach by the Goldberg family, anyone can see that they want to push Wendy Goldberg in front of Li Mu.
At this moment, in the buildings on both sides of the inverted "concave" shape of the castle, behind almost every window, there were people looking towards the central main entrance.
Many people even hid behind the windows with binoculars to look around quietly. These people were not peeping toms. On the contrary, they were representatives of upper-class figures from many countries. The reason why they hid behind the windows and peeped was that their main focus was on Li Mu. on the body.
When Li Mu arrived, it was understandable that members of the Goldberg family, as hosts, went to greet him, but this did not mean that only the Goldberg family was paying attention to Li Mu.
In fact, the only focus of everyone who came to this party was Li Mu.
Originally, it was difficult for the Goldberg family to attract so many top families and wealthy people from around the world to attend a party.
In the UK alone, there are many established aristocrats, wealthy families, and members of the royal family. Their assets and social status are not much worse than those of the Goldberg family. The established aristocrats and royal families in other European countries are even less likely to buy into Goldberg's account. If things go as usual. , at least half of this year's guests will not accept the Goldberg family's invitation.
Europe may not be a big place, but because almost half of it is an old imperialist country, there are a lot of nobles, and Old-Money is everywhere. These nobles usually have their own camps, and they are deeply influenced by history. They often To put it bluntly, it is generally the established families in Western Europe who look down on the established families in Eastern Europe. In Western Europe, Britain, France and Germany look down on the established families in other countries. As for Britain, France and Delhi, Britain and Germany have always looked down on France...
Because of such a complicated history, the relationship between these old families in Europe is extremely complicated. For each family, there are many allies and more enemies. Many families even maintain a very strong relationship with each other because of the influence of their ancestors. Although the sense of hostility does not lead to direct conflict or confrontation, there are often situations of "he without me, me without him". For example, never talk to people from a certain family, and never attend the same event with people from a certain family. occasion.
but…
There is a very special situation this year, and that is: No one expected that the Goldberg family would invite the great master Li Mu this year!
After hearing the news, many families couldn't sit still. Other families who were not prepared to accept the Goldberg family's invitation hurriedly agreed, and even actively asked to participate, which caught the Goldberg family off guard.
The Goldberg family has been organizing gatherings between nobles, royal families and wealthy families for hundreds of years, but there has never been a year like this year. Almost all the prominent figures in Europe want to join in, so much so that the entire Goldberg Manor It's overcrowded now.
For these European nobles, Li Mu has never had any intersection with them. They and Li Mu are like people from two different dimensions. Not only do their lives, social interactions, and hobbies have no overlap, but their career directions are also different. There is no overlap.
When Li Mu's identity and status on the world capital stage became more and more prominent, these European aristocrats were once ready to make a move, hoping to establish contact with Li Mu, but Li Mu was completely insulated from their world, and they There was not even a way to send a friendly signal to Li Mu.
However, the Goldberg family found such an entry point. Relying on their inextricable capital relationship with Sequoia Capital, they found a channel to convey friendly information to Li Mu.
It just so happened that Li Mu was somewhat curious about the circle of European nobles, so he agreed...
Just after Li Mu accepted the invitation, almost all of Europe's upper class couldn't wait to attend the party, trying to establish a relationship with Li Mu through this party.
However, as soon as Li Mu arrived at Goldberg Manor and got out of the car, he was surrounded by the Goldberg family. They even used Wendy Goldberg as their trump card. You know, Wendy Goldberg is the king of the Goldberg family. When he came up, he threw Wang Zha out, and everyone couldn't sit still!
"Shit! That old fox Davidson actually threw Wendy Goldberg out as soon as he came up. How can others play with this..."
"Look at Davidson's fawning face. Even after they met, he couldn't wait to hand over his most beautiful eldest granddaughter to Li Mu. It's really disgusting!"
"What age is it? Davidson is still playing the same tricks as the Middle Ages. It would be weird if Li Mu would buy it!"
"Damn it, six months ago Davidson promised me that he would facilitate the marriage between Wendy and my eldest grandson, but as soon as he saw Li Mu, he turned into a disgusting pug!"
"Wendy is mine, no one can take her away from me! Not even Li Mu!"
