Although tonight's dance party at the Washington Convention Center officially started at seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Yu knew very well that tonight's party was actually two, or two levels.

The largest conference hall at the Washington Convention Center, which is large enough to accommodate 20,000 or 30,000 people, is one of the three major balls officially prepared to celebrate the inauguration of the president, but it is very broad, and the threshold for participation is not low, but it is not the highest, mainly for the middle and high-level forces that support Ronald Reagan.

Traditionally, the new president would have come to the ball for a few minutes, led a dance, and then disappeared after a few words, led by other top White House or Republican leaders.

Of course, Xia Yu didn't come to this kind of ball.

He attends a heavyweight prom in an internal medium-sized conference room, and the invitations to that prom are almost at the top of the nation's power, such as the super-big financiers behind Ronald Reagan, or the heads of major supergroups.

In the face of these people, even Ronald Reagan, he has to be accompanied by his heart, and he will be here for most of tonight.

Other politically ambitious people also want to squeeze into this ball, and if they can get in touch with a few super-big financiers and consortium owners, or communicate further, then when they want to carry out their political ambitions in the future, they will be able to have more help and be more likely to succeed.

When Xia Yu's car drove outside the Washington Convention Center, he saw a long queue coming out of the door, and the dance party had not yet been fully entered.

Xia Yu's car did not stop, in the envious eyes of the people in line, drove to another bayonet, facing the security personnel intercepted at the intersection, Xia Yu rolled down the window and handed out the invitation, after the security personnel verified, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, and then respectfully opened the bayonet, allowing Xia Yu's car to enter through the special passage.

Only guests like Xia Yu are eligible to park their cars in the garage of the Washington Convention Center.

After verifying the invitation letter to the security personnel at the entrance of the Washington Convention Center, Xia Yu walked in.

Along the VIP passage, Xia Yu came to the medium-sized conference room on the inner floor.

As soon as he entered, he immediately noticed that there were people observing him, either obsessively or openly.

Xia Yu's face did not change, and he walked inside without hurrying, and his eyes quickly scanned the conference room.

It's dancing or talking, but it's all about the same purpose, and it's time to make the most of this opportunity to network.

Most of the people who are holding wine glasses and talking are middle-aged and elderly, and the number of young people dancing is small, but it is certain that they are all outstanding descendants of large families, and their parents have brought them together to expand their contacts and see the world with the help of this platform.

It's just that these people are either white or black, and white people make up the vast majority.

In addition, there is only one person like Xia Yu with black hair and yellow skin!

It's not that no one recognized Xia Yu, but not only out of the mentality of watching jokes or resistance, in short, no one else except the waiter took the initiative to come forward to talk to Xia Yu.

At this moment, Ronald Reagan, who was talking to someone, felt something strange, and when he saw Xia Yu, he immediately confessed to the person next to him, and then held his wife, with a warm smile, and walked quickly towards Xia Yu in the surprised eyes of many people.

"Mr. Xia, good evening, welcome!"

"Good evening, Mr. President!"

"Ms. Nancy, congratulations on becoming First Lady!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Nancy Davis Reagan said with a kind smile.

And Ronald Reagan hugged Xia Yu and then let go, this kind of etiquette used to express intimate feelings between acquaintances and friends was made on this occasion, many people who were paying attention were a little surprised, and then adjusted their positioning of Xia Yu in their hearts, secretly guessing what the relationship between this Asian and Ronald Reagan was.

"Mr. Xia, didn't you bring a female companion?"

Ronald Reagan asked, a little confused.

Generally speaking, when attending a formal ball, you will bring a female companion, which can be limited to your wife, relatives or friends, and rarely come alone.

Of course, little does not mean nothing, as the host of the ball, at this time, you need to avoid the guests who come alone as much as possible.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I have very few female friends in the United States, and I came in a hurry, so I came alone, don't mind?"

Ronald Reagan shook his head and smiled, "Of course I don't mind." ”

After saying that, he turned to his wife, Nancy Davis, and said, "My dear, there is a young lady with her parents tonight, and you must pay attention to it in order to avoid the loneliness of our closest friends. ”

Nancy Davis Reagan nodded as a matter of course, winked at Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, I'll introduce you later." ”

In the face of this kind of kindness, Xia Yu could only shake his head with some tears and laughter, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I don't think I can refuse your kindness." ”

"Hahaha......"

Ronald Reagan chuckled softly.

"Mr. Xia, please come with us, and I will introduce you to some friends. ”

After speaking, Ronald Reagan took his wife by his arm and walked side by side with Xia Yu into the crowd.

"I would like to introduce to you solemnly, this is my friend, Mr. Xia Yuxia. ”

"Good evening, Mr. Xia!"

"Nice to meet you!"

......

Looking at a few people around him, Xia Yu immediately took out his business card printed with the chairman of Polaris Capital Company and sent it to the people around him one by one, and the others also handed their business cards to Xia Yu with the same attitude and introduced themselves.

In the process of receiving business cards, Xia Yu quickly memorized their names, and then showed strong communication skills, long sleeves and good dancing, chatting and laughing with everyone, and quietly narrowing the distance with other people.

It's just that Xia Yu has lightly skipped other people's temptations and topic traps, which will neither be embarrassing nor be probed for information.

He knew very well that after seeing Ronald Reagan treat him so seriously, many people wanted to know his true details and his relationship with Ronald Reagan.

But he wasn't obligated to satisfy their curiosity.

Those who should know will naturally know, such as David Rockefeller.

If you don't have the strength to know, then there is no need to know.

At this moment, Xia Yu noticed that there was some commotion in the conference room, and quickly glanced around, and found that most of the people were looking at the few people who came in at the door, while Ronald Reagan and his wife, who were socializing in other places, and several other guests quickly went out to greet them.

It's David Rockefeller!

When he saw the face of the person in the middle, Xia Yu immediately recognized it, he just thought that David Rockefeller had not yet arrived, but he didn't expect it to arrive just after he finished talking.

Arguably, as David Rockefeller walked in, the heaviest of the prom came!

The big man behind the scenes of the Republican Party, the figure at the top of the American pyramid!

As for the people around him, Xia Yu also recognized it, his youngest son Richard Rockefeller and his wife.

The arrival of such a heavyweight can be said to have attracted the attention of everyone in the entire ball, and almost everyone wanted to come over, especially those who aspired to enter politics.

Of course, if there is anyone in this dance who doesn't want to come over, it can only be Xia Yu.

Xia Yu hid in the crowd, calmly observing the various states of all beings.

David Rockefeller was surrounded by people, and after asking Ronald Reagan a few questions, he was surrounded by people and entered the center of the ball, so he did not see Xia Yu.

After David Rockefeller arrived, half a minute later, two small groups of people came in, which also attracted great attention, and Ronald Reagan accompanied David Rockefeller, so George Herbert Walker Bush, the vice president, took on the task of greeting the heavyweight guests.

The current helm of the Mellon family, Richard King Mellon, and several descendants.

The fifth-generation head of the DuPont family, Lamotte Dupont Copeland, and his eldest son, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Dupont.

All of a sudden, the heads of the traditional four major forces behind the Republican Party came at once.

As for the representatives of the other Texas consortium behind the Republican Party, they have already come before, there are two people.

One of them was George Herbert Walker Bush, the head of the Bush family.

Of course, although the Bush family is one of the core families in the Texas consortium, it joined later, and its position within the consortium is relatively low, but after all, the Bush family's achievements in the political field are the most prominent among the Texas consortium, and it is natural that the position is even more special, and it can use the influence of the entire Texas consortium in the political field.

As for the other person who can truly represent the Texas consortium, it is the head of the McKitson family, the most powerful of the five founding families, Cody Moore McKitson.

It's just that the Mackison family can't be the real ruler of the consortium like the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, and the DuPont family, so the Mackison family's strength and status are much inferior to these three.

On this occasion, however, the McKitsons came on behalf of the Texas consortium and had no problem siding with Richard King Mellon, Lamotte Dupont Copeland and David Rockefeller.

The four, plus President Ronald Reagan, Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush, and Republican leader Benjamin Carr, make a total of seven.

After the seven people gathered in the center of the ball, they instantly became the focus of the whole ball.

At this time, everyone in the dance party knew that the heavyweights who should be coming were coming, and it was no longer worth paying attention to the ones who would enter later.

The atmosphere of tonight's dance party heated up rapidly and quickly leaned towards a climax.
