After listening to this, Xu Ping'an thought for a while, and whispered a few words in Shan's ear, the expression on Adnan's face changed, and he frowned and began to think.

It took a while to recover, and he nodded at Xu Ping'an, "Xu, thank you, I hope that in the future, I can invite you to my coronation ceremony."

"That's my honor," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

Prince Adnan also smiled, and let go of chatting with Xu Ping'an, the time passed slowly, and the personnel were almost there, at this time, an old man in the front row stood up.

Walked directly to the front desk, came to the podium, and said with a smile on his face, "Gentlemen, be quiet, our party has begun."

Xu Ping'an tilted his head sideways and said in Norton's ear, "Who is he?"

"Old Dupont" Norton pouted and said, Xu Ping'an suddenly realized that he was no longer asking anything.

The DuPont family, arguably the fastest-changing and best-growing family in the United States, has developed better than any other family, not to mention that it is not so famous.

There is no advertising, in fact, the boss behind quite a lot of companies is DuPont, and many products in our daily life are also from DuPont.

The world's well-deserved chemical industry giant, invisible giant.

As a simple example, non-stick pans are popular all over the world, but many people in the Celestial Empire don't know that many countries in Europe and the United States have banned the use of this non-stick pan and labeled it as highly toxic.

When heated, the coating of a non-stick pan produces a toxin, which can contaminate people's blood, causing cancer and even passing on to the next generation, which is very toxic.

It is a pity that there are still companies in China that have purchased this technology and are constantly producing.

At this time, a large number of women came in, each holding an ice bucket and a wine glass, and an ice bucket was placed on the coffee table next to each guest, and the ice bucket carried a bottle of red wine.

Very skillfully opened the red wine and poured a glass for everyone, and then put the red wine in the ice bucket, then politely left, and the place was completely closed.

"Gentlemen, let's hold a toast to today's gathering" Old Dupont raised his glass with a smile on his face, and everyone cooperated by raising their glasses and taking a sip each.

This wine is very good, this is Xu Ping'an's evaluation, the quality is not below Romanée Conti, it is enough grade.

"Gentlemen, there are a lot of newcomers to this gathering, and when our Executive Committee drew up the list, there was a full discussion to maintain the fairness of the list."

"For the sake of communication, I propose that everyone stand up and introduce themselves, starting with me."

"The contemptible Cassel Dupont, the patriarch of the DuPont family, basically calls me old DuPont now"

"At the last meeting, I was elected head of the executive committee," Dupont said, stretching his arm to the person on the left in the first row, signaling, and starting with him to introduce himself.

The same old man stood up directly, turned to look at everyone, "Contemptible Denier, chairman of Tulip Group", and sat down after speaking, and everyone applauded.

"Xu, don't underestimate this, although Tulip Group is not famous, it secretly controls 30% of the world's food industry, and has large shares in many international food groups, many of which are hidden holdings" Norton said in Xu Ping'an's ear.

Xu Ping'an nodded with a serious face, and the little contempt in his heart completely disappeared.

I know in my heart that this gathering is probably all hidden predators, crocodiles with a lot of resources hidden in the dark.

At this time, one of the people next to him stood up, Xu Ping'an knew, it was Leonardo, and Leonardo sat down again after introducing himself.

"Contemptible Carlos, Chairman of the Mexican Telecom Company"

"You can call me Lady Chera, the chairman of the European Saiya Group"

"I'm sure many people know me, Gates, Microsoft shareholder"

"Kenjiro Matsuyama, Chairman of the Yokooka Group"

"You can call me Paris, the chairman of the Mayfield Group"

................................

"Adnan, Crown Prince of the United Kingdom of XX"

"Xu Ping'an, President of Tianqi Group"

"Norton, Chairman of Golden Sun Group"

.........................

With the introduction one by one, as well as Norton's introduction on the side, Xu Ping'an was very shocked, and everyone was very unsimple.

In the case of Paris, chairman of Mayfield Group, Xu Ping'an knew him, but he didn't know Paris's strength before, and today, he knew Paris's strength under Norton's explanation.

Mayfield Group is a manufacturing giant in Italy and even Europe, and seventeen listed manufacturing groups are affiliated to Mayfield Group, and no one knows how many are not listed.

Thirty to forty percent of the output of European manufacturing is inextricably linked to the Mayfield Group.

It can be seen that Paris's strength is not obvious, and it is completely a Cretaceous Tyrannosaurus rex in sheep's clothing.

The last person also introduced himself, and the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces disappeared, and they could see what the sixty people present had in their hands.

Stomp your feet together, and the global economy will erupt into a major earthquake.

Gathering these people to discuss something is certainly not a trivial matter, and it is not easy to do so.

Old Dupont saw the expressions of the people below very clearly, and was very satisfied with the effect, applauded with the crowd, and waited for everyone to finish the introduction, and then began to speak.

"Gentlemen, today's society is changing rapidly, emerging economies are constantly impacting traditional industries, global economic growth is weak, and many industries have been affected"

"Of course, the people here have not been affected much, and many people have shown a momentum of growth against the trend, but this growth has dealt a fatal blow to many enterprises."

"Our small group has an independent economic research team, and this economic research team has always focused on the global economy and analyzed the direction of the global economy."

"Please look at the big screen, this is the latest research report, the situation is not optimistic" Old Dupont turned to the big screen after speaking, and pointed at the big screen, and a document was displayed on the big screen.

"According to the study, in the next five to six years, as technology develops, companies will be phased out at an unprecedented rate, resulting in the loss of global jobs"

"The reason why this is inseparable from the development of science and technology may be said that the development of science and technology will create new jobs, and the market will self-regulate."

"Gentlemen, this is a false threshold, according to our survey of the world's top 30 economies, and we found a sad statistic, there will be a growing shortage of high-tech talent"

"Not everyone can learn to master the deeper technology, after a day of analysis by a supercomputer, only 1 in 100 million people in the world have the ability to understand and learn this advanced technology."

"And one in 100 million people, there will be a large number of people who do not have the opportunity to learn for various reasons, so that there will be fewer suitable people"

"Ordinary jobs can be replaced by robots, which will cause 80% of the current jobs to disappear completely, and there will be no talents for advanced scientific and technological development, and some jobs will be vacant."

"In eight years at most, there will be a wave of massive unemployment in all countries around the world, and a global economic collapse is inevitable"

"At this stage, there is only one option left to solve the problem"

"War!"

When old Dupont said this, the expression on his face was extremely serious, very serious.

"Gentlemen, the current society cannot withstand the devastation of war, and it is very likely that it will lead to the end of our human civilization"

"Because, there are many more countries in the world that have nuclear bombs than the numbers that have been announced"

"If we really come to this point, it will not do any of us any good, but it will do great harm"

"Chaos is the sword that destroys the economy and destroys the world"

"All of you here, including me, can be said to be rich people, with enough money for future generations to spend in a few lifetimes, and they can enjoy the world in luxury."

"But what if there is a global chaos, everything we have will be reduced to ashes, are you willing to accept this outcome?"

"We have to do something to change this future, to change the outcome of this outcome"

"Therefore, the topic of our gathering this time is [how to avoid war, how to protect our interests]" Old Dupont looked at everyone after speaking, and everyone had a thoughtful expression.

Old Dupont did not disturb everyone's thinking, but took a slow sip of his wine glass, and after a while, he began to continue talking.

"Gentlemen, we are open to gathering, everyone can speak freely, discuss this topic together, and whoever has any ideas, they can raise their hands, come to the stage to say it, and share it with everyone."

"Together, we can definitely solve this problem"

"This matter has been solved, not only for everyone, but also for myself" Old DuPont was very serious when he said these words.

After a short time, Gates raised his hand, and the elder DuPont smiled and said, "Welcome Gates to share."

After speaking, he began to take the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded, and Gates stood up and walked to the podium.

Shaking hands with Dupont, the elder Dupont went down, and Gates stood up and began his speech.

"Gentlemen, Mr. DuPont just said a rough idea, the reality is more serious than what Mr. DuPont said, let me give you a simple example."

"Softsoft currently has more than 90,000 direct employees around the world, and the indirect creation of more than 400,000 jobs is definitely more than 400,000, with the development of technology, seriously, I can directly lay off half of the employees next year," Gates said with a serious expression.

Everyone was stunned, half of the layoffs, what kind of jokes, this will have a big impact, and the government of the United States will not agree to such a large-scale layoff by the soft company.

Xu Ping'an also raised his eyebrows, and had a conjecture in his heart, could it be that Microsoft has made a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, otherwise, laying off so many employees will definitely cause chaos in the company.
