Chapter 708: First Meeting
When these people approached, Oliver took two steps forward to greet them, stood between Chen Dahe and them, and greeted them with a spring breeze, "Uncle Schmidt, Uncle Rich." ”
Then he turned to the side of the two groups of people, smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to you, this is Enzo Chen, I think you should be familiar with him,"
This is a bit too direct, doesn't it mean that they have a deep research on Chen Dahe's intelligence, but these are all old fritters in front of them, and bad words can be listened to as good words, not to mention this kind of painless ridicule.
It's just that the attitude of this girl from the Jones family is very clear, and it is estimated that the next negotiations will not take much advantage.
At the front was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and as soon as Oliver's words fell, he immediately smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, I've admired my name for a long time, Mr. Chen." ”
"Hello," Chen Dahe's outstretched right hand clenched tightly, and then glanced at Oliver.
Oliver's voice sounded almost synchronously, "This is Mr. Alston Schmidt, a director and senior partner of Chase Bank. ”
"Mr. Schmidt is of German descent?" Chen Dahe suddenly changed to German, "This surname is very common in Germany. ”
"Yes," Schmidt's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and the hand he was holding unconsciously tightened for two points, and he also said in German, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so good at German?"
"I am also interested in Germany and would like to have the opportunity to ask Mr. Schmidt for advice. ”
Oliver continued, pointing to Sophie and said, "This is Madame Sophie Bruis from Paris, from the French aristocracy. ”
Sophie, dressed in a velvet dress, bowed and nodded, "Hello, Mr. Schmidt." ”
"Hello, Madame Blois," Schmidt bowed slightly in respect without waiting for the gesture of kissing the hand, and changed to French.
From his attitude, Chen Dahe is sure that this is an Anglo-Saxon with blood first, but it doesn't matter, these children of God are also believers in money, and for the sake of interests, he should not jump too much in this negotiation.
After introducing one, Chen Dahe greeted the next white man who was the same age as Schmidt.
Oliver also made an introduction, "This is Mr. Chino Rich, a senior project manager at JP Morgan, and like Mr. Schmidt, a banker with more than 30 years of experience in the financial industry. ”
"Hello, Mr. Rich," Chen Dahe said abruptly in Italian, but then changed to American English, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be of Italian descent." ”
"Ho," Rich let out a hearty laugh, "you guessed it right, Mr. Chen, I really didn't expect you to be so proficient in languages in addition to the business side." ”
"Oh, I'm ashamed," Chen Dahe said with a look of shame, "I've only learned a little bit of Italian, and of course, I hope to have time to re-learn it in the future, it's a very noble language." ”
This is really not his pretense of modesty, when Li Zhonghe and the old man taught him English, French, German and Western four languages, I wanted to continue to teach Italian, and French, this is also a common language in European high society, I didn't think about it and suddenly returned to the city, this course was delayed, and then I didn't mention it, maybe when he thought that Comrade Xiao Chen could learn those four subjects well, it would be good, and even French was still stumbling at that time.
Chen Dahe casually glanced at Auston Schmidt standing on the side, Chase's came, JP Morgan's also came, it seems that they attach great importance to it, but also, these two companies do not have much intersection in business, the conflict of interest is not obvious, it is better to use them as the entry party, and when it comes to two thousand years, feeling the ever-changing external pressure, the hard-hit Rockefeller and Morgan rarely joined forces directly to merge the two companies into **** , can only paraphrase an old saying, there are no enemies and friends in front of interests, all for a bite of food.
When Richie and Sophie saw each other, Oliver retreated to Chen Dahe's side, and it was clear that she didn't know the next three.
As the team leader, Schmidt naturally took over and introduced the three of them, and sure enough, they were all small roles to assist in the negotiation, so they didn't have to care.
At this time, the time was exactly two o'clock, and after inviting them to take their seats inside, Chen Dahe walked to the small stage in the lounge and began his first performance in European high society.
There is nothing to say about the process, but to read the lines written by the elder Theo, thank you for coming, and by the way, boast about several prominent guest families to show that everyone is in a circle, and then introduce the origin of the museum, the general situation of all the collections, and look forward to friendly exchanges with all collectors.
The guests also expressed their high appreciation and interest in the collections on display, and they also looked forward to the friendly trading of the collections with the museum.
At the end of the tour, it was finally time to rest, and the guests were in groups looking for a place to sit down, Chen Dahe also found a corner to lie down, and Oliver and Sophie sat beside him.
Just two or three minutes later, after making eye contact with the last American, Earl Spencer straightened his collar and walked over with John Russell and Andrew Cavendis.
Chen Dahe and the three of them immediately got up and stood in place to greet each other, but Chen Dahe's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, he didn't expect these people to be so breathless, and they just waited for the opportunity to come over.
Before he could speak, the Earl of Spencer opened his arms and laughed, and greeted the three of them like those Englishmen who like to exaggerate.
After the greetings, Sophie got up with an apology and said goodbye, it was obvious that these people came to talk about something, in this case, then the other guests needed her to entertain on their behalf, so as not to appear rude, as for Oliver, of course, he had to stay to accompany the negotiation, otherwise it would not seem that someone was too lonely.
When Sophie walked away, Spencer said, "Mr. Chen, your museum is very good, both in terms of the number of collections and the preciousness of the collection, it is second to none in Europe and even in the world, and only the financial resources brought by the unparalleled investment rate of return of the Third International Bank can support a museum of this scale." ”
"Mr. Earl has praised it falsely," Chen Dahe humbly bowed his head and invited the three of them to sit before continuing, "The Third International Bank is only able to make a small profit in the market with the care of you and a little luck, not to mention, this money is nothing, even if there is more money, it is really nothing in front of you nobles who have inherited it for hundreds of years. ”
"Mr. Chen is too modest," John Russell said with a smile, "The hierarchical Middle Ages are long gone, and today's titles only represent the glory of our ancestors, and the others are no different from the general public, and we still have to rely on business wizards like Mr. Chen to earn a small profit to contribute to the continuation of the family, but I don't know if Mr. Chen can give such an opportunity." ”
Originally, they wanted to wait for the evening to talk to this financial wizard in detail, but they didn't expect the Americans who were standing behind them to suddenly appear, which was obviously to get rid of them and go to the stage to cooperate directly with Chen Dahe.
