Xia Yu carried a red wine glass and wandered around, talking to other people and exchanging business cards.

Regardless of whether the people present were resistant to Xia Yu, a young yellow man, but when they didn't know Xia Yu's true details, no one would offend him plainly, and everyone showed a friendly smile.

If you're interested, talk more, and if not, just say a few words of greeting and change your business card before continuing to talk to the other person.

At some point, as the music of the ball became melodious, more and more men and women began to dance lightly.

Xia Yu glanced around and found that the person talking had already sat down in the relaxation area around the conference room, giving up the venue to the dancing guests.

He smiled slightly, drank the last sip of red wine with someone, returned to the food area and poured some red wine, just about to find a corner with a glass that still had a vacant seat, but happened to see a rest area not far away, David Rockefeller happened to raise a glass to him from afar, as if to invite him over.

Xia Yu swept his eyes and found that the top bigwigs in this dance party were sitting in David Rockefeller's place, and Ronald Reagan was also there.

But Xia Yu didn't have the slightest apprehension, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked over with a calm and steady pace.

"Mr. Xia, we're meeting again!"

"Mr. Rockefeller, it's an honor to see you again!"

"Bang!"

After a brief greeting, the two gently touched their glasses and took a sip of red wine.

With such a simple action, Xia Yu felt that the people around him were observing him with scrutinizing eyes.

Ronald Reagan didn't expect David Rockefeller to know Xia Yu, and there was a hint of exploration in his eyes.

David Rockefeller smiled and asked, "Mr. Xia, do you need me to introduce you?"

Xia Yu smiled and declined: "Don't bother you, if I don't know the gentlemen here, I won't be qualified to do business in the United States." ”

"Mr. Mellon, Mr. DuPont, Mr. McKitson, Mr. Carr, hello, it's an honor to meet you, my name is Xia Yu, this is my business card, please accept it!"

Every time he said a name, Xia Yu looked at the person calmly to show respect, and took out four business cards and handed them to them, all four of them took it with a smile, looked at it for a second or two before putting it in their pockets, and at the same time took out a business card and handed it to Xia Yu.

As for George Herbert Walker Bush, he was not here at this time, Xia Yu had just seen him and his wife Barbara go dancing.

Mr. Vice President, who is in his fifties, is quite enthusiastic, and he has come here to show affection.

As for Ronald Reagan, Xia Yu just nodded and smiled at him.

On the contrary, Ronald Reagan smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I just learned that you know Mr. Rockefeller." ”

Xia Yu smiled slightly, looked at David Rockefeller, and said, "I was fortunate to get Mr. Rockefeller's guidance before, and he also helped me a favor." ”

Just when Ronald Reagan and others were a little surprised, David Rockefeller immediately exposed Xia Yu and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia's words, you are right to listen to him in reverse, I am not capable of pointing him out." ”

These words came out of David Rockefeller's mouth, and Lamotte Dupont Copeland and Cody Moore McKitson, who knew Xia Yu the most, had decided to go back and explore Xia Yu's bottom line, what qualifications did David Rockefeller treat like this.

On the contrary, Richard King Mellon smiled and thought about it, and suddenly asked out loud: "Mr. Xia, Galaxy Fund is your company, right?"

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Not exactly, it's just that there are some shares there." ”

Richard King Mellon nodded nondeniably, glanced at David Rockefeller again, and said, "David, Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers were originally acquired by you and Mr. Xia?"

David Rockefeller didn't know what he was calculating, and said with a smile: "I'm just taking a little bit of a stake, and Mr. Xia has a deep study in investment." ”

When everyone was surprised, Richard King Mellon immediately said to Xia Yu with a serious expression: "Mr. Xia, I have known David for decades, and only a few people have received such a high evaluation from him, so we have a chance to have a good chat." ”

Xia Yu immediately nodded and accepted the olive branch thrown by Richard King Mellon: "This is my honor, how many people want to cooperate with Mellon have no chance, I think I have no reason to refuse." ”

Richard King Mellon shook his head and laughed, and said something that Xia Yu didn't believe at all: "The news outside is outrageous, in fact, the Mellon family is happy to make friends, but many people have this idea but lack the courage." ”

After speaking, he lifted his wine glass and clinked glasses with Xia Yu.

Compared with the more traditional DuPont family, which likes to marry close relatives, the Mellon family, which has risen later but is stronger, is more open, and the family business has long realized the manager system, but this does not mean that it will be very simple to make friends with the Mellon family.

For people who have no value, the top big capitalists like them simply don't bother to waste even a second of their time.

Next, Lamotte Dupont Copeland tested the process of understanding Ronald Reagan and Xia Yu, but neither of them showed their stuff, which is a secret between the two.

It's one thing for others to guess, it's another to tell the truth, and Ronald Reagan wouldn't be naïve enough to throw the handle away, even in the face of his other supporters.

He still has the heart to defend against people.

In the next ten minutes, David Rockefeller and others chatted about some topics again, although many people outside were interested, but in Xia Yu's opinion, there was not much value, he rarely interjected, basically he only talked a few words when others asked him.

After a while, Benjamin Carr took the lead, and everyone dispersed one after another, and Xia Yu chatted with Ronald Reagan for a few words, and then went to other places.

It is said that David Rockefeller and others are the focus of the ball, and Xia Yu sat down and chatted with them for more than ten minutes, which was naturally seen by many people.

Xia Yu's weight is infinitely higher in their hearts, and many people who have received Xia Yu's business card have decided to collect this business card well, maybe they will be able to cooperate with Xia Yu with it in the future.

When walking along the road, Xia Yu obviously felt that the attitude of other people was more enthusiastic and sincere, and he didn't need to take the initiative to send business cards, and everyone else was consciously enthusiastic to talk to him and exchange business cards.

Although he didn't figure out what David Rockefeller was thinking and praised him so much, it was undeniable that it did have great benefits for him.

It doesn't matter if he's sugar-coated or not, eat the sugar first!

When he just passed by a sofa and saw the person sitting there, Xia Yu paused and walked straight towards the person, and the person sitting on the sofa immediately looked at Xia Yu.

"Mr. Bush, is there anyone else sitting here?"

Xia Yu pointed to a spot next to him and asked with a smile at George Bush, the eldest son of the current vice president, George W. Bush.

As the next generation of elite of the Bush family, Bush Jr. is 35 years old this year and is a veteran of interpersonal communication, and he has long noticed Xia Yu and learned some information about Xia Yu from his father Bush Sr., not to mention that he just took into account the scenes of Xia Yu talking and laughing with David Rockefeller and Richard King Mellon.

Therefore, he immediately got up and said in a friendly manner: "Of course, there is no one sitting in this position, please feel free!"

"Thank you!"

"Meet me, I'm Xia Yu, this is my business card!"

"Mr. Xia, it's an honor to meet you, this is my business card!"

After exchanging business cards, Xia Yu saw Bush Jr.'s introduction on the business card, which read "Chairman of Bush Energy Company" and a series of phone numbers below.

At this time, George W. Bush was indeed in the oil industry, and after his defeat in the 1978 election to the Texas House of Representatives, he started the company, although it is now only a small energy company.

Xia Yu knows the future path of George W. Bush.

His father, George H.W. Bush, entered politics after 20 years in the oil industry, and he will officially enter politics after 10 years of hard work in the oil field, becoming a member of his father's campaign for president, and eventually reaching the top step by step.

However, Bush Jr.'s experience in the oil field was not as successful as his father's, and it can even be said that he was "defeated repeatedly", and by 1984 he had to merge the Bush Energy Company he founded with other companies, and he served only as one director.

Fortunately, the Bush family's oil business does not depend on him, and several brothers of Bush Sr., as well as Bush Jr.'s own brothers and cousins, are not inferior to him.

But who wants to fail if they can succeed?

In Xia Yu's view, whether it is for the layout of the oil field or to deepen the relationship with the Bush family, it is definitely a very good idea to cooperate with Bush Jr. to run an oil company!

Now the Bush family is not the peak family of the two presidents, and the Bush family's oil empire has not yet enjoyed the policy dividends and then the scale has skyrocketed, so it is very suitable to connect with the Bush family at this time!

The Bush Energy Company is still just Bush Jr.'s own, just a small company, which is very suitable for cooperation, but it can also use the resources of the Bush family to develop.

Therefore, Xia Yu provoked the topic and asked knowingly: "Mr. Bush, did you create this company yourself?"

George W. Bush immediately nodded: "Yes, it has just been established for more than two years, but it is inevitable that it has borrowed some resources from the family. ”

Xia Yu said disapprerovingly: "This does not affect a person's ability, and the rational use of resources is what a smart person should do." ”

"If I had family resources, I would definitely use them as much as I could, but it's a pity. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Yu shrugged his shoulders freely.

Xia Yu deliberately said this sentence, which immediately aroused the curiosity of George W. Bush.

He said with an inquiring look on his face: "Mr. Xia, could it be that the current career was created by yourself?"

Just now, his father just told him a little bit of information about Xia Yu, such as Xia Yu is the chairman of San Francisco's Polaris Capital, a very capable person, and has a good relationship with President Ronald Reagan.

This information was just learned by Bush Sr. at this ball, and Ronald Reagan had never told Bush Sr. about it before.

It's normal for George W. Bush not to know.

Xia Yu said calmly: "Let's just say that, because my luck is better, I stumbled all the way to this point." ”

PS: Some people wonder why there are "you" and "you" in many chapters, thinking that my writing is not rigorous, but this is not the case, if you look closely, you will find that when the protagonist talks to the Americans, both sides of the conversation are called "you", and when the Chinese talk to the protagonist, they generally use "you", but if the status is much lower than the protagonist, the protagonist will use "you" instead of "you". (In English, unlike Chinese, "you" and "you" are generally distinguished, and they all have the same meaning "you") (if the number of words does not meet the standard, it will not be charged)
