Chapter 120: The Dinner Party

The Marquises of Ursula Santo Domingo was a nobleman recognized by the Spanish royal family, and she began working for Rich International in '75, working as an ordinary administrator to Richie's assistant.

After Richie was wanted, she quickly took on a new identity, the managing director of Richie International.

Today, she is not only responsible for the administration of Rich International, but in many cases, she is also the spokesperson for Rich International.

Ridge International is a very low-key company that few people had heard of before Richie was wanted.

Moreover, the company has never been open to the media, and their business is very far from the general public, and Santo Domingo has only done a few brief interviews on behalf of Rich in the past.

But today, she will face at least two dozen media outlets to react on behalf of Richie.

The Platz Hotel was bought by the Hoffman family yesterday, and only one major media from all over the world was invited to enter the hotel for interviews, but only to take pictures in the designated location.

Moreover, every photo and video taken by each media will be confirmed by Rich International personnel before it can be broadcast or published in the media.

Such harsh conditions, but each media sent elite soldiers to cover the news, and the reporters were disciplined with the strictest discipline.

This is not only because of the high level of power of today's guests, but also because the forces behind Rich's team are so large that no media outlet dares to offend them casually.

Rich International doesn't need publicity, they don't need exposure like celebrities, and if possible, they don't want ordinary people to know about them.

They only work with governments, local warlords, international conglomerates, and they trade in oil, metals, grain, and the transportation lines of the world's fleet.

Their trade is closely related to the people, but it is separated by a huge distance.

They are afraid of being known to the outside world, and the media can only beg them if they want to get their news.

Today's hotel is well organized by the administrative staff of Rich International, and although there are more than 20 media outlets in the hotel, there are more than 200 bigwigs who have arrived.

After the arrangement of the administrative staff, the guests are selectively selected, and each media can interview more than one guest.

Their interviews are scheduled in specific areas and do not disturb other guests.

The Hoffman family seems to have become at such a time

Outsiders, but for them, it's also a good thing.

Philippe and Vera are the richest people in Switzerland, but apart from the necessary publicity of the pharmaceutical group, their Hoffmann family and the Oli family they work with are almost never interviewed.

Hannah adheres to the low-key nature of Germans, and is not a flamboyant person.

In addition to hosting their own relatives and friends, they were just courteous to Yannick's friends in the mall.

It rained again in the evening, and now Switzerland is starting to get colder, with heavy snowfall in the mountains.

Before the dinner began, in the dinner hall, the Marquise de Santo Domingo, dressed in a black suit, came to the front desk under the expectation of the media.

Nearly twenty people from two branches of the Hoffman family sat at two tables, just to the left and right of the rostrum, and the gloom on Saint-Domingo's face could be clearly seen.

If possible, she would not be willing to take on this task, and appearing in front of the media would have a great impact on her personal life in the future.

All of them, no one wants to be a public figure.

The flashing lights of the media flickered after she took the stage, and it was almost thirty seconds before it stopped.

At this time, Santo Domingo took a step forward and stood in front of the podium. "Today, we all come together to say goodbye to our good friend, good partner, our trusted companion, Yannick Hoffmann. His unfortunate loss grieves our loved ones, makes us regret, and is also an irreparable loss for us. Now, please stand together and observe a minute of silence in memory of Yannick. ”

The band at the door played mournful music, and everyone got up, bowed their heads and closed their eyes in silence.

After the silence, Santo Domingo continued: "The first time I met Yannick was in '75, when Yannick was a handsome young man of thirty-five years old, and in my eyes he was so perfect, like Michelangelo's David." I still remember asking him once why a person should rely on hard work if he can enjoy a life of being admired by his appearance......?

There was a round of applause in the venue, the funeral banquet in the West would not look very sad, even the relatives were smiling and applauding at this time, although it was not a joke.

Santo Domingo recalls some interesting stories from Yannick's past and the contributions he made to others.

This ten-minute speech, involving various big names, uses a timeline to string together the second half of Yannick's life.

Only Catherine, who was sitting on Hannah's right hand, was crying, she was Yannick's fiancΓ©e, but Yannick left her before the wedding took place.

In contrast, Emile, who was sitting on Hannah's left-hand side, was more calm and relaxed today, and he smirked when he heard some interesting stories about Yannick's past.

No one blames her, not even Jonas's cousin, Helen, who knows that she is a stupid white sweet with no heart and lungs.

Eventually, the topic of Santo Domingo moved from Yannick's life to the back, and most of the people present looked at Santo Domingue and listened to her reaction on behalf of the entire interest group.

"Yannick may be far away from us, but life goes on. We will also continue to carry on Yannick's legacy and continue to contribute to the future development of companies such as Rich International, Energy Group, and Hoffmann Investment Bank.

During his lifetime, Yannick worked for Hoffmann Investment Bank to become a member of the LME in London, during his lifetime he worked to build a financial group spanning five continents, and during Yannick's lifetime, he wanted to turn Switzerland into the world's energy trading center.

And these are also the aspirations and ideals of all of us, and we will continue to work hard for this ideal. ”

There was a round of applause from the audience, and at this time, Santo Domingo also announced that in order to save time, each media outlet would only accept one question.

The first to ask questions was a reporter from the French newspaper Le Figaro. "Madame Santo Domingo, Mr. Hoffmann was in a car accident while traveling to France for business negotiations, will this affect your relationship with Louis Dreyfus?"

The first question hit the nail on the head, and Santo Domingo pondered for a moment before replying: "There is no contradiction between us and Louis Dreyfus, only normal business competition." I believe that our relationship is peaceful, and our differences will be resolved with in-depth exchanges. I am sure that with the active efforts of both sides, it will not affect our relations. ”

Although this sentence sounds prosaic, there is one word that cannot be overlooked, and that is to actively work hard.

The implication is obvious: if Louis Dreyfus Company actively handles the contradictions between the two sides, it will not affect the relationship between the two sides, on the contrary, the two sides will become enemies.

A Pravda correspondent asked: "Madame Santo Domingo, Mr. Hoffmann has established a deep personal friendship with the top brass of our Soviet Union, and in the last three years he has led an investment of $1.2 billion and an endowment of $40 million. Will his departure now affect Swiss entrepreneurs' investment and charitable contributions to the Soviet Union?"

"Absolutely not. Our energy group is a large partnership of more than 600 partners and 4,000 members in 36 countries, each of whom is on an equal footing within the company.

Yannick is the economic nexus that connects us all, and his location is very important. However, he is also only our representative.

Everything he does is determined by voting, and the business decisions he makes represent our collective will, not our private will. ”

The journalist of the News of the World asked: "Santo

Mrs. Mingo, Hoffman Investment Bank has just begun to be formed, and it is facing the development crisis of the death of the core figure, will Hoffman Investment Bank continue to increase its investment in the London financial market in the future?"

"In the world, London is the only city that gathers futures, futures, spot, and foreign exchange markets, and has the largest trading scale in the world. Especially in the metals industry, there is no other city in London that can compare.

Therefore, we will continue to increase our participation in the London market, actively participate in the process of the world economy, and make efforts and contributions to the development of the world economy. ”

Santo Domingo is a logical and quick-thinking woman who responds appropriately and without being off-putting, no matter what kind of problem she faces.

That's also the benefit of women acting as spokesmen, and if a fierce man like Plov were to speak, even if it was the same, it would feel aggressive.

The last question was left to the Wall Street Journal, and their reporter didn't waste the opportunity to ask: "Mrs. Santo Domingo, as you all know, the Hoffman Investment Bank, the Energy Group, and the Ritchie International where you work are actually members of three companies, and now you are actively breaking it down, is it because of Armenia's wanted Markridge, how will you respond to the sudden death of your most important financial officer, Yannick Hoffman?"

Santo Domingue breathed a long sigh of relief before slowly speaking: "Rich International is a company founded by Mark Ridge, and in this company, he is unique. However, the Energy Group is a partnership formed by businessmen engaged in the production and trading of energy from all over the world, which is fundamentally different from Rich International.

Finally, Hoffman Investment Bank is a financial company founded by Yannick with the spare funds of members of the energy group, which has nothing to do with Macridge. If there is a relationship, it is only a small amount of money that he invested at the beginning, which may be the only connection.

As for how to deal with it, I think it is up to all the partners to make a decision together.

But we have always believed in one thing, and that is a tooth for a tooth.

The blood of any of our members will not be shed in vain, and any of our members can realize their life ambitions without any worries, which is the meaning of our team's existence. ”
