Chapter Forty-Eight: The Reception (Part II)
The car drove slowly around New York City, and after about half an hour, David's car stopped at the gate of a large manor.
Qin Xu also stopped McLaren, and looked at Yingying Yanyan who was standing together and chatting outside through the car window, Qin Xu felt a little dizzy.
A large group of blondes dressed very hotly stood together, this kind of scene was the first time Qin Xu, a pure dick, had seen it.
Seeing them look at his side with envy, Qin Xu couldn't say anything in his heart, once upon a time, these girls were all things he needed to look up to, but now after he got the ranch system inexplicably, he became the person they looked up to.
Soon, two black men dressed in security uniforms came over from the door, and after politely checking the invitation, they opened the door and asked the two to continue to drive inside, Qin Xu also put aside the sentimental thoughts in his mind, restarted McLaren, and followed David to continue driving inside.
Behind the gate is a straight driveway, lined with manicured evergreens, and more than two meters away from a cypress with a dwarf shrub between them.
When the car reached the end of the driveway and turned a huge musical fountain, a snow-white three-story European-style villa appeared in front of Qin Xu's eyes.
As soon as the car stopped at the door, a waiter came over to help Qin Xu open the car door, Qin Xu learned the so-called gentlemanly demeanor as seen on TV, and walked over and stretched out his hand to Dale, Dale was slightly stunned, smiled, put his hand on Qin Xu's hand and got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Dale naturally grabbed Qin Xu's arm, Qin Xu experienced the softness again, but he didn't have time to taste it, and followed David into the villa.
After entering the villa, Qin Xu found that there was a banquet hall inside, the decoration was similar to the medieval baroque style, the banquet hall was full of luxurious decorations and carvings, as well as strong color contrasts, and at this time there were already many well-dressed people in the banquet hall, chatting in groups.
In the middle of the banquet hall, there is a stage, there is a band playing some song on the stage, there are several long tables on one side of the banquet hall, which are filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries and drinks, and there are many waiters carrying trays in the crowd, the whole banquet hall gives people a very warm atmosphere.
As soon as Qin Xu and the others walked in, a white old man came over enthusiastically and hugged David, David said a few words to him, and then turned around and introduced Qin Xu: "Qin, this is Mr. Cook, the current president of Pingguo." “
Then he said to Cook: "President Cook, this is Mr. Hill's successor, Mr. Qin Xuqin." “
Cook enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Xu. Looking at the young Chinese in front of him, he was about 1.8 meters tall, and his body looked quite sturdy. looked at Qin Xu with some envy, he already had such a rich net worth at such a young age, and he had to sigh at his good luck.
He first heard that Hill gave away the shares, but he was really surprised, more than two billion dollars said that he would give it away, especially this Hill usually doesn't care about things, and he also supports him unconditionally on the board of directors, so he is very concerned about this matter.
This time it was just in time for the shareholders' meeting, so he entrusted David to invite Qin Xu over, he was really curious about this young man, and also to see if he could win over Qin Xu to continue to support him, although Qin Xu only had less than one percent of the shares, but it was already quite a small one among the shareholders.
After Qin Xu shook hands with Cook, he also looked curiously at the person who took over the legendary president class, who was in his fifties, his figure was not strong, but he was not as fat as the elderly in Europe and the United States, and he was wearing a black suit on his body, and he felt quite handsome.
Cook warmly greeted Qin Xu and the others inside, and people kept greeting David and Cook along the way, and when they arrived at the stage in the middle of the banquet hall, Cook motioned for the band that was performing to stop, and then he walked up and picked up the microphone.
Coughing a few times, Cook said: "Everyone, be quiet, today is a good day, our Pingguo board of directors is also honored to add another one, he is Qin from China, let us welcome him with warm applause." “
After speaking, he took the lead in applauding, looking at Cook's posture of signaling himself to go up and say a few words, Qin Xu reluctantly walked onto the stage, took the microphone from Cook's hand, and then said: "I am honored to be invited by Mr. Cook today, and it is still a huge challenge for me to join the board of directors of Pingguo, and I hope you can help me more in the future." ”
After speaking, he bowed slightly to the audience, and the audience also gave a warm applause, and everyone showed great curiosity and goodwill to this young new billionaire, after all, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with a billionaire, except for those idiots, no one will want to conflict with a billionaire casually.
After the applause was over, Qin Xu walked down, returned the microphone to the band, took a glass of red wine from the waiter who was shuttling through the crowd with a tray, and followed Cook to the side of the sofa to chat.
chatted with Cook on the sofa for a while, mainly Qin Xu expressed his absolute support for Cook, and he didn't want to hold any position in the group, after all, he was not a person who liked to live a busy life, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way to the United States, which he was not familiar with.
And Cook was also very happy about Qin Xu's support, and said that Qin Xu didn't have to hold any position, as long as he had time to hold a board meeting once in a while, he could wait for dividends at home with peace of mind. Qin Xu also expressed his gratitude to Cook, and after a few more words, Cook confessed his guilt and went to greet the other guests.
Qin Xu watched Cook walk away, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, Dale finally had a chance to speak at this time, and asked Qin Xu with some shock: "Qin, that was Cook the president of Pingguo Company just now?" "You are also a director of Pingguo's board of directors?"
Qin Xu nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Dale looked at Qin Xu a little numbly, what's wrong, she didn't know what to say. That's the world's largest company, as a director of the largest company, how much money should Qin Xu have?
Qin Xu didn't bother to pay attention to Dale's shock, because people kept coming to hand over business cards, and Qin Xu also handed over the business cards that had been prepared a long time ago, only the name and phone number, and after a while, there was already a thick stack of business cards in his hand. Dale also recovered, chatting with the people who came to greet her.
In this way, Qin Xu stayed at the drinking party until nine o'clock in the evening, and it was really boring to see other people still chatting enthusiastically. So he asked Dale, "Shall we go back first, it's really boring here?"
Dale also nodded in agreement and said, "It's boring, or go back, right?"
So Qin Xu went over to say hello to David, let them have fun, and then went to say goodbye to Cook, and under Cook's personal send-off, he and Dale went out of the villa together.
