Chapter 617: Interesting People, Interesting Party (Subscription Requested!)
Owning a manor can be said to be one of the standard features of the upper class in the United States, you can live without a luxury apartment, you can live without a townhouse, but you must not have a manor.
Swimming pools, horse farms, marinas, and even a private golf course β the estate's vast footprint allows the wealthy to let their imaginations run wild and create comfortable living spaces.
The party was held in East Hampton, New York, one of New York's richest neighborhoods, where many of the super-rich have made their homes, more than two hours away from New York.
It's approaching evening.
Tang Qing and his entourage finally came to this place full of rich people.
Luxury cars are everywhere, and these Audis are simply driven by a servant.
Approaching the manor area, several sports cars flashed by and disappeared in front of them, and from time to time helicopters flew through the sky, which was also one of the main means of transportation for the wealthy here.
Luxury cars.
Manor.
plane
Yacht.
γγγ
Extreme luxury.
But if you live for a long time, Tang Qing still doesn't like this layout, it's good to have a villa in Shanghai, and the land where his second uncle built a manor in Qingyan City has been bought, so it's okay to go on vacation, there's no need to get one yourself.
"Jia Xue, do you like that kind of car?" Tang Qing asked, pointing to a red convertible Ferrari outside the window, and a blonde beauty above didn't drive too fast, slowly overtaking on the left side of their convoy.
Lin Jiaxue looked at it and shook her head vigorously: "I don't like it." β
"Why, it looks good. Tang Qing was surprised, if you want to talk about comfort, Tang Qing doesn't like sports cars, but when it comes to appearance, Tang Qing still has to admit that it is a kind of art.
"It's a hassle to drive, it's better to take a car. Lin Jiaxue said with a serious face.
"Haha. β
Lin Jiaxue's answer made Tang Qing laugh out loud, she really deserves to be our daughter-in-law, Tang Qing held Lin Jiaxue's face. took a bite and said gently: "Don't worry, with me, someone will drive you for the rest of your life." β
"Hmm. β
γγγγγγ
Soon.
The convoy drove to the manor area of East Hampton.
I have to say that none of the estates here are cheap, at least tens of millions of dollars start, and those with docks along the coast have to be turned over, and when they arrived, the roadside outside the manor was already full of large and small vehicles.
A slip of luxury cars, there is no shortage of limited edition sports cars, no way, the manor is all lawns, there is no such a large parking lot, fortunately the road outside is wide enough, otherwise you have to block the road, then you will be complained to the police.
Park your car under the guidance of a maid.
Get out of the car.
Tang Qing saw several yachts parked on the sea in the distance, it seems that the people who came to participate today still have yachts, this can be had, I have to get one empty, it's okay to go fishing with Lin Jiaxue or something.
Mu Jian walked ahead.
"Xiao Tang, I'll follow me later, I'll take you to meet the owner of this place, Ge Feng, a. . Very interesting person, he speaks straighter, but he has no bad intentions, and he is very righteous. β
"Good. β
Tang Qing took Lin Jiaxue and followed Mu Jian in.
As soon as he entered the manor, Tang Qing felt a little strange, it was not at all the same as the American party on TV, there was no band, no crowd singing and dancing, and no pool bikini.
"Isn't it strange and not lively enough?" Mu Jian said to Tang Qing.
"It's a little. Tang Qing nodded.
Mu Jian explained: "In fact, it was very lively before, everyone was young and vigorous, who didn't like to be lively and exciting, but slowly people will get tired of it, especially these Chinese who grew up in the United States, and they don't like the American set very much in the cultural tradition."
So later we found the noisy annoying, and that kind of lively party should be left to the young people in their twenties to play. We get together these times, drink, chat, exchange information and so on. β
They have participated in too many parties over the years, it can be said that they are disgusting, and they are slowly learning to like this kind of dull party like their elders, most of them are the kind that have become home, and the kind that has enough waves.
"It's really ... It's weird enough. Tang Qing couldn't help laughing, he thought he could see the lively party, but now there is nothing, but it's okay, he doesn't like to be noisy.
Mu Jian is in front.
Rounding a corner, they saw the villa of the manor, a three-story building in a simple style, the main color of gray, the house was brightly lit inside and outside, although there was no band, but there was a faint light music coming, it was the sound of the Chinese guzheng.
"Brother Mu, why isn't this called a banquet. Tang Qing was also happy when he looked at the situation inside, a party without carnival and singing and dancing was really more appropriate to call a banquet or party.
"Hehe, you'll find out later. Mu Jian smiled mysteriously.
Hear this.
Tang Qing became interested.
As soon as you enter the door.
A figure rushed from the side.
"Mu Jian, you're finally here, if you come a little later, you won't be able to catch up with the opening. A mouthful of Chinese, which is not fluent, came out of his mouth, and even though his ancestors came to the United States very early, Chinese was a compulsory subject.
Ben, they dare not forget.
"Why not start early. Mu Jian said helplessly.
Opening?
Tang Qing wondered, what other fun shows can't be made, if there is, it fits this guy's dress very well, it's really... Flowers and branches, glamorous.
This was originally meant to describe a woman, but it's also quite appropriate to describe the person in front of you.
Dressed in gold and red, it seems to be coated with a layer of reflective paint, the pants are dragged to the ground like bell bottoms, the shoes are not visible, and the appearance is a little handsome and mature, and the head shape... Tang Qing was no longer able to complain.
head?
A good and appropriate name, see the name and know the meaning, and the ability to describe Chinese can be described as extremely accurate.
"The time hasn't come, you see the dress I designed is handsome. After a few words with Mu Jian and his wife, Ge Feng directly handed over Chai Ren's name: "Chai Ren, I remember you, I haven't been here for several years." β
"In the past few years, I have been too busy with work, running all over the world, and I can't help myself, I didn't expect Mr. Ge's memory to be so good, this is my wife Zhan Xi. Chai Ren and Ge Feng shook hands and smiled.
"Hello. Zhan Xi nodded and smiled.
"Hello sister-in-law, sister-in-law is so beautiful, this is... Hey, Mu Jian, are you jealous of my handsomeness, specially brought to hit me, hello this little brother, are you interested in being an actor, a model, I just have it... β
Ge Feng was handsome by Tang Qing.
Mu Jian hurriedly interrupted him: "Go, go... Your company, who's going to go? β
Ge Feng pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "My company is not small, but it should not be a person who is short of money, alas, there is another handsome and golden friend, how can I live this day." β
"This is Tang Qing, who is in college in China and came to travel for a few days, this is his fiancΓ©e Lin Jiaxue. Mu Jian solemnly introduced.
Ge Feng said with a straight face: "No kidding, Xiao Tang, Jiaxue, hello, my name is Ge Feng, half a businessman, in fact, my ideal is not this, but to stand on the stage and become a big star, but unfortunately, when I see a lot of people, I have stage fright and my legs tremble, and I blame this pair of uncompetitive legs... β
As he spoke, Ge Feng began to let himself go.
Listen to Ge Feng's 'self-introduction'.
Tang Qing smiled and kept nodding his head, indeed as Mu Jian said, this person is really a bit interesting, the first time we met, we talked about such an esoteric topic as 'ideal'.
It's not just self-cooked, it's simply ripe.
Tang Qing found that he was quite lucky in his life, he had met so many interesting people, and seeing that Tang Qing's eyes were very sincere and not fake, Ge Feng said even more vigorously, and instantly recognized this friend in his heart.
Sometimes don't look at him stupid, but how can a person from this kind of family have no scheming, it's just that he doesn't like to hide himself, he is used to seeing it, everyone is a friend, he can't get along, and he nods his head to each other.
Seeing that Ge Feng was endless, Mu Jian hurriedly stopped: "Okay, you're enough, don't talk about your music dreams, just pee your pants when you say a word on stage, I." Poof... β
At the end, Mu Jian couldn't help laughing.
Ge Feng is also a strange person, crowdphobia, an 'incurable disease', once he is noticed by a lot of people, he will be nervous, his body will sweat, his muscles will twitch, and then his legs will tremble.
Three years ago, I was pulled onto the stage to give flowers and hugs to fans during a concert of 10,000 people, however, under the watchful eye ... It became the hot news of the year, and they have been teased by them to this day.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ge Feng said with a bitter face: "Hey, hey, I can't control it, okay, who called so many people underneath, it's a live broadcast, it's not that gang of guys who squeezed me up." β
Mader, he feels like he's going to have to carry this stalk for the rest of his life.
"Yes, tsk, live broadcast, you have become a star, be content. "Mu Jian has a 'I envy you' expression.
βγγγ Hmph, you're not qualified, I'll tell you... β
Ge Feng is also thick-skinned and complacent.
With the atmosphere of 'joyful' chatting, several people came to the hall.
There are nearly forty people in the hall, all of whom are good friends of Ge Feng, all over all walks of life, not all of them are in business, mainly people of the same age, and they can't talk together if they are not the same age.
They all greeted Mu Jian warmly.
However, except for the owner Ge Feng, he basically didn't remember Chai Ren, because he had only been here once, and he introduced it again before he remembered that this second generation who heard that he had a very good background in China.
Although everyone works or does business in the United States, there is very little contact with the country.
However, as a rising emerging market, Huaxia has developed rapidly, and it has long heard that the second generation of students who have come here to study abroad boast about how easy it is to make money, and they are also interested in these native Chinese Americans.
Soon.
Chai Ren became the focal point among them.
"Brother Chai, what kind of project do you say I have 30 million US dollars to invest in China with a quick return on investment and lasting benefits?"
"Real estate, the internet, electronics... Huaxia's economy has started for a while, but it is far from saturation, and all walks of life will have a blowout development, and there are many opportunities, whether it is high-tech or low-end manufacturing. β
"Then I'll have to take care of it when I go to inspect the project in the future. β
"No problem, as long as you operate legally, you will definitely help if you can, this is my business card. β
"Brother Changliang, I respect you, then it will be troublesome. β
βγγγγ β
Chai Ren became a busy man for a while.
What they need is information, and Chai Ren's position is to have the most valuable information and the direction of policy.
And the attention to Tang Qing is much lower, because he is too young, most of them here are the same age as Chai Ren, twenty-seven or eighteen or nearly thirty years old, and Tang Qing is obviously not twenty yet.
In addition, Mu Jian only said that Tang Qing was a college student, and he was still a university in China, so he felt that he couldn't find a topic.
Tang Qing didn't care about this.
Playing soy sauce on the side, in his eyes, these are strangers, and the older ones are even nearly a round, so he pulled Lin Jiaxue to the buffet area and tasted the pastries here with Lin Jiaxue.
Take a bite.
Taste ok.
"Jiaxue, how. Tang Qing asked.
"It's a bit sweet, not as delicious as the chef at home. Lin Jiaxue said softly, her mouth had long been raised by the soldiers.
"American pastries tend to be sweet, so let's do it first. Tang Qing stuffed the portion that Lin Jiaxue had eaten into his mouth, and Lin Jiaxue gently wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth for him.
Lin Jiaxue tasted a few bites and ate a mango.
Soon.
Ge Feng's so-called opening began.
"Ahem, everyone is quiet, this party is about to start, before that, I will sing a song to you to help the fun, this Chinese word may not be appropriate, but that's the meaning, today I bring you a song "Glorious Years", this is my newly learned Cantonese song... β
Tang Qing looked at Ge Feng on the red cloth platform in the hall a little confused.
If it weren't for the preparation of seeing Ge Feng's appearance just now, the mango in his mouth would almost squirt out.
"The bell rings to call home.
in his life.
It seems to be a little embarrassed
γγγγ β
Tang Qing is eyes brighter the more he listened, just now he thought that Ge Feng wanted to be a star because of 'brain mistakes', but now when he listens to it, Ge Feng's singing skills are definitely not low, no wonder so many people are listening with interest, it seems that he really relies on his strength.
Mu Jian leaned over and explained in a low voice: "Isn't it a little interesting, Ge Feng's voice and skills are not inferior to those singers, whether it is English, French, Chinese, Japanese songs, he can do it, he is proficient in the nine Chinese languages, just to learn songs."
He is also an expert in arranging music and writing lyrics, and if it weren't for that 'incurable disease', I think he would definitely have a place in the world's music industry. β
"I see. β
Tang Qing was stunned, listening to it with relish, this Ge Feng is really interesting.
Soon.
"Glorious Years" is finished.
There was applause below, all sincerely, Ge Feng bowed deeply, and he could sing with confidence with dozens of people like this, and even many friends asked him to sing, but he usually didn't go, so he was happy when he did it himself.
"Okay, the opening is over, and the next thing is the link that everyone likes to see, this time I wasted a lot of effort to get the United States Army a single replacement equipment recovery contract for Iraq, which lasted three months, and earned more than 20 million US dollars in a single order, in April this year, I met an African-American colonel in charge of the deployment of Iraqi equipment at a cocktail party. β
The reason why everyone is willing to listen to this guy's nonsense and show off is because there are dry goods in it, as well as the next dry firewood.
