The guests invited by Gu Biao from Xiangjiang, the United States, and Yueben are really masters who will not waste any time.

Attending a wedding, there will never be a situation of casually sitting blindly and drinking to pass the time.

As for the lively and lively drama show at the wedding of ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible to appear.

Although the wedding is hot, some of the most gold-winning artists of Tiankun Music now have to come to work for the boss. From Zhang Xueyou to Andy Lau to Zhou Huimin, they all sang on stage.

But when they choose songs, they should try to choose soft and soothing tunes, only to accompany the atmosphere, and never disturb the guests to talk about business.

And try to choose those who do not rely on the lyrics, and can make people listen to the tune alone, because I and Americans account for three or four percent, and people can't understand Chinese, so listen to songs only listen to songs and not listen to words.

To put it mildly, it is based on the selection criteria of "High Rocky Mountain" when President Carter asked John Denver to sing at the Kennedy Center in '78, and strive to make it accessible to guests across languages.

After all, the guests at the next few tables are talking about multi-billion dollar acquisitions and investment cases {the best in this game is still the Columbia Pictures acquisition that Akio Morita and Peterson talked about, and there is no amount higher than them in the audience at present}, if you sing and disturb people's Yaxing, then how embarrassing.

……

This kind of scene really made the relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues of both men and women a little uncomfortable at first.

They feel as if they are the existence of another class or even another world. A considerable number of people are also secretly ashamed that they did not make a draft and prepare in advance for those words to be said today before they came.

Yes, you read that right, a lot of people are lamenting "why didn't you make a draft for what you are going to say tonight".

After all, sometimes, at the same table, the time granularity of those super-rich businessmen is five minutes, and a little lesser, it is also a fifteen-minute granularity, a locomotive and a pit, and the schedule is all full, and there is no time to talk to you about those nonsense topics that are not planned.

Translate the special word "time granularity" in human terms, which refers to your own itinerary and how much time you have to arrange one thing.

For example, people like Bill Gates in later generations only have 5 minutes for a special meeting, so when they attend a summit, if others want to chat with them, they have to make an appointment for a specific 5 minutes, which is the roughest.

If it's more coarse, I'm sorry, you won't have a chance. If you make an appointment for a certain 5 minutes, but you are late for the 5 minutes, then sorry, come back next time, someone else has an appointment for the next 5 minutes.

Even if you say that you miss this time and have to wait for another half a month or even longer, it doesn't matter to Bill Gates, people's schedules are so noble.

The five-minute unit of appointment here still refers to a special lùn tán speech. If you just want to schedule a meeting and handshake with someone, you may only have 30 seconds

Every time Bill Gates went to an international conference, there was a row of people waiting in the reception room next to him, and then he allotted 30 seconds in each room, went in and shook hands, said three or five lines, and then went to the next room. If there is a delay of 30 seconds, the secretary will have to change the itinerary at the last minute and notify some people waiting for the handshake that the handshake ceremony has been cancelled.

So in order to offend as little as possible, secretaries and assistants need to exchange their own time for ten times and a hundred times their own time in exchange for double the time of Bill Gates:

For example, in this venue, there are a few steps to walk from one end to the other, and according to the big data of Mr. Gates's walking speed that he captured earlier, it will take him a few seconds......

The elevator should be pressed to the floor a few seconds in advance, whether the elevator has a floor lock by swiping the card, and if so, the staff should be reminded to hold all the cards in advance and wait for the VIP to get on the elevator and not to find it temporarily......

When the helicopter lands, the person in charge of supporting the disembarkation should rush over when the timbre of the helicopter's rotors changes to a certain extent, so as to ensure that the wind does not blow people out of danger, and at the same time, it will not make the VIP who wants to disembark wait a few more seconds......

If there are a few errors in these links, then only one or even a few waiters who were originally scheduled to shake hands on the day can only be temporarily canceled. Even if this waiter has been preparing for several months, to exchange the nobleman's 30 seconds, there is no way.

Gu Biao's current level, in good conscience, is still slightly inferior to Bill Gates 20 years later, after all, that is the standard of the richest man in the world, and Gu Biao is far from being the richest man in the world.

But the standard of his wedding banquet seems to be in line with that direction.

The groom's speech is also very concise, without any jokes at all, and he does not talk nonsense at all.

Gu Biao just announced in a low-key manner that Xiao Sui was already pregnant { It is impossible to completely hide the belly of six months, it is better to announce it generously, anyway, this is in Xiangjiang. Besides, they have been talking about it for seven or eight years, who would believe that they haven't slept}.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to unveil a charity plan.

"On this day of double happiness, I am ready to set up a new public welfare fund to fund the education cause in China. Of course, it's in my own planning mode. ”

In the name of doing good deeds, it is naturally a blessing for his unborn children.

Many rich celebrities have children themselves and start throwing money at education charity.

However, a considerable part of this is for the exchange of interests, and the motive is not so pure, for example, after many rich people have a son, they begin to make a targeted donation to one of the eight league schools, in order to admit his son to this prestigious school in the future.

In the United States, the top universities are private anyway, and it is reasonable and legal to give priority to the children of the wealthy, and there is nothing wrong with doing so.

Therefore, when many guests first heard these words, their reaction should be that Gu Biao has some motivation in this regard, even if it is not all.

"It is estimated that thirty percent of it is for his son to go to a top school in the future. However, if you want to go to the top schools, it will only be millions, or at most tens of millions of dollars. With Gu Wei's worth, the investment in the project openly announced on this occasion must be more than this, so at least seventy percent of them are sincerely doing good deeds for the sake of accumulating virtue. "Some knowledgeable guests speculated in their hearts, but they didn't say it.

But Gu Biao quickly clarified, and even this degree of misunderstanding was dispelled: "The scale of investment in this educational charity I want to do in the future will be comparable to the current Tiansuo Environmental Protection Fund, at least at the level of tens of millions of US dollars per year."

Of course, in the first one to two years, we will mainly do research and pilot projects first, and it will be fully rolled out around 1990. And I don't donate to colleges and universities, what I want to do is completely charity for basic education. ”

As soon as I heard that he was going to do basic education, all the doubts just now dissipated, and this kind of thing would definitely not be for his son to go to college in the future.

"It's a big deal, it's Gu Sheng in the end. ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Biao also took advantage of the situation to pull a bridesmaid and introduced a few words, saying that in the future, Miss Ren will be arranged to serve as the image spokesperson of the new charity fund, and please support Yunyun more.

……

The speech session is concise to the point of seconds, and the timing of the toasting session is naturally just as strict.

Professor Ji later joked with Gu Biao: Coming to his wedding to drink, the degree of pinching is not far from the first time when Nickerson was organized to drink in the Great Hall fifteen years ago.

At the beginning, there were two relatives, old classmates, and old colleagues of the elders {it is impossible for colleagues of Gu Biao's generation to do such an eyeless thing}, and some of them are not used to it, and they want to pull Gu Biao to drink a lot of wine and pour a few more glasses.

However, this uncivilized drinking table culture was soon stopped, and only cold diplomatic etiquette remained.

It's not that Gu Biao is unkind, it's that his secretary really arranged him too tightly, and he has 106 billionaires to shake hands and toast tonight, and the standard is 15 seconds for each person.

Among them, 32 are more than $1 billion, that is, at the level of the Emerald Blade, and each will have to add another 15 seconds.

Therefore, the toast to ordinary people didn't even have time to read the name, so they could only hold a glass and shake it for half a circle.

Xiao Sui was also afraid that some relatives would have opinions, so on the premise of not delaying the time, he reminded euphemistically while walking: "Usually the time we arrange freely is not so urgent, and it is not really busy to have no entertainment and leisure, take some time to come out of the Dong room at night and postpone the return to the new house, isn't it okay." ”

"Just because we still have time to play, we can't be unprincipled about time planning, that's two different things. Gu Biao held the wine glass and took the time to answer,

"What can be solved with money, it should never take time. But this does not mean that all the time we get in exchange is used to make money or directly generate higher benefits. The law of nature is that time is more expensive than money, and attention is more expensive than ordinary time.

We have time to rest and have fun, which is to allow our brains to get flow, decision-making, and creativity during the rest of the time of concentration, and an extra ten minutes of rest and recreation may be exchanged for two more minutes of flow time full of energy and creativity. Therefore, it cannot be said that the rest time does not directly create value, and can be deprived at will.

Moreover, I am doing it for your own good, but you have been six months, what should I do if my body can't hold it for a while? ”

Xiao Sui sighed and didn't say anything more.

As Gu Ao's wife, etiquette affairs are destined to be continuous for a lifetime, and I really hope that there are some social occasions, and my husband can take Mina to deal with it in the future.

Mina came from a diplomatic background, so she must be very handy.

Toasted until half past nine in the evening, and finally finished the process.

Xiao Sui's cup was actually full of red wine-colored juice throughout the whole process, and he didn't drink a drop of wine, but he also touched more than a dozen small glasses of juice just by touching his lips. She felt a little reluctant, so she was helped by one of the bridesmaids, that is, her little sister in the art troupe, and sent back to rest.

Gu Biao sent off most of the guests, and with a few other bridesmaids, as well as Mina, he continued to greet the most important handful of distinguished guests.

This evening, the distinguished guests wasted no time, and each seemed to exchange a lot of useful information.

The reason why Gu Biao came to the table of Chris Galvin and Akio Morita, Senior Bill, and Peterson is that they are no longer at the table in the main banquet hall at the beginning, but have changed to the cocktail hall next door for resting, but a group of people are still crowded in one circle.

As soon as Gu Biao said hello, he noticed that a guest who had been assigned to a few tables at the back of the table was pulled over by Chris Galvin to discuss it together.

The guest at the back table is Zhang Zhongmou, CEO of Xiangji.

"Chris, Zhang, Pete, what are you talking about?"

"Why don't you come here without going to the new house? Except for Galvin, the other two people subconsciously drove Gu Biao away.

"Okay, then you two must stay in Xiangjiang for one more day. Gu Biao didn't want to explore business on the wedding day, so he stopped there.
