Chapter 20: Daji at the Reception!
sighed in his heart that life is really fickle, and Xi Ming continued to follow behind the beautiful waiter.
He looked at the club.
Security is tight.
The decoration around is very exquisite, which can be described as magnificent and luxurious.
The venue is also very open, and the crystal lights are carefully arranged, which reflects the atmosphere very much.
This cocktail party is said to be a welcome to the new year, which is just a kind of acquaintance and acquaintance in the circle.
The upper class likes to be tasteful and is keen on it.
Why do they love high-end drinking parties?
Because a high-end cocktail party is an environment created by successful people, in this environment, successful people get together, there is a good saying, it doesn't matter who you are, what matters is who you are with. In ancient times, there were "three migrations of Meng's mother", which is enough to show that who she is with is indeed very important. When the eagle grows up in the chicken nest, it will lose its ability to fly, how can it fight in the sky and soar into the blue sky?
If you want to soar into the sky like an eagle, then you have to fly with the eagles and not with the swallows; if you want to gallop the earth like a wild wolf, then you have to run with the wolves, not with the deer and sheep; as the saying goes, "thrushes and sparrows have different voices, and golden roosters and crows have different nests." ”
If you want to be smart, then you have to be with smart people, and you will be wiser, and if you want to be excellent, then you have to be with excellent people, and you will be outstanding.
The cocktail party is to make a high person.
And this circle is not only a dating platform, but also a platform for the transformation of relationships into "financing ability" and even "productivity". Paul Allen and Gates shared the same interests and careers when they were young, which laid the foundation for his future. How can you be a poor person yourself when you associate with someone who has become a billionaire?
The people you associate with are your future!
If all the names stored in the mobile phone were ordinary in the past, and now Ma Yun and Shi Yuzhu are suddenly added, it is a very good feeling.
In such a circle of successful people, as long as you want good ideas, you can get good partners, friends, and guides.
Dale Carnegie once said, "85% of a person's success depends on relationships."
Therefore, the upper class is very keen on drinking parties, interacting feelings, and exchanging business topics.
When Xi Ming entered the booth, there were already a lot of people coming, and there were some second-tier stars, men and women chatting with each other. Talking and laughing came to the bed, and the momentum was warm.
Those men are chatting with each other about the future of major industries and policy trends, and they are always deciding millions or even tens of millions of businesses.
Many vase female stars naturally don't understand, they are so tasteless, they are smiling and pandering, but they are actually performing.
The beautiful waitress poured herself a glass of champagne, and Xi Ming walked into the crowd with the champagne.
Then the second-tier little female star clinked glasses with him and welcomed his arrival, and the second-tier little star was invited to warm up the party.
Xi Ming also knows a few, that is Qin Meiren who plays "Beauty Like Jade", that is the second heroine in "Dating", and that is who plays "Temptation...... Hey, Kobayashi Chiling, a cold and pretty appearance, but her voice is crisp and glutinous, and she speaks like a coquette. The gossip news always says that she is not pretentious to many boys, but there are more and more suitors, one after another.
There are really a lot of familiar faces, and there are actresses who were once smash hits, although they are not so popular now. But they used to be the existence of the silver screen, and they were all invited and surrounded by VIPs. It seems that there must not be many great people in the last senior, otherwise there would not be so many wrists.
A girl stared at Xi Ming, because Xi Ming is too young, most of them are middle-aged uncles, and Xi Ming is like an outlier for the time being.
His clothes are also very different!
It's even a bit of a foreign taste.
At this kind of reception, look at the other men are white shirts, black ties, black suits, and black leather shoes, just like Western gentlemen.
All of them are well-dressed upper-class figures, which one is like Xi Ming.
Like Xi Ming, who ran in in casual clothes, seemed to be the only one, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
The first bird of the drinking party?
Young Diamond King Old Five?
A girl stared at Xi Ming for a while and stood in front of Xi Ming.
"Hello, I'll have a drink with you. ”
When the woman spoke, she spat out a faint fragrance and sprayed it on Xi Ming's face, and the sweet and fragrant hot breath was inhaled into his nose, making him feel a wave in his heart.
But immediately calmed down.
Xi Ming looked at the woman in front of him, this woman is also a rare beauty. The thick curved eyebrows are close to the ends of the hair, and a pair of beautiful eyes flickering from time to time, making people seem to have an irresistible attraction.
"Have a drink. OK. ”
The woman smiled brightly when she heard this.
That's when a man came in.
His handsome facial features, deep eyes, slightly upturned nose, sexy thin lips, knife-cut chin, angular outline, and a black suit look particularly noble and mysterious, revealing a transcendent confidence between his eyebrows.
A flock of warblers and swallows immediately surrounded them.
Xi Ming asked, "Who's that?"
"That's Li Wenhui, the son of the Li family!"
"Who is Li Wenhui, Xi Ming really doesn't know. ”
"Do you know the Lai family in Xia City?"
"I know that. The Lai family once shook the whole country, and it also involved a female star Yang Yuying. ”
"Yes. ”
At that time, the Li family was a family that coexisted with the Lai family in Xia City, and the Lai family suffered Waterloo because of the extraordinarily large smuggling case in Yuanhua in Xia City.
So if you want to talk about this Li family, let me first tell you about this Lai family.
Lai Cangxing, who was born as a farmer, once made a living in Shishi, Fujian Province, such as clothing, electronic products, and small restaurants, and also engaged in smuggling business. But he wasn't satisfied. In April 1991, Lai Cangxing obtained Hong Kong resident status through connections, and in June 1993, Yuan Hua International Co., Ltd. was registered in Hong Kong.
During this period, Lai Cangxing learned from some related people that the country urgently needed a large amount of computer software. As a result, he used a company registered in Hong Kong to secretly trade computer chips with a certain military industrial enterprise.
At the beginning of 1994, Lai Changxing returned to Fujian as a Hong Kong businessman and established Xia City Yuanhua Electronics Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and then established Xiamen Yuanhua Group Co., Ltd. in 1996.
Lai's electronics company did not delve into electronic products, but specialized in chip smuggling, and then the scope of smuggling quickly expanded to vegetable oil, petroleum, cigarettes, automobiles, chemical raw materials, textile raw materials, communication equipment, etc.
In the past few years, Yuanhua Group has become a well-known large-scale enterprise in Xiamen, with 7 wholly-owned companies, 5 holding companies and 1 joint-stock company. Lai Cangxing pulled almost all the family members into the gang to create a family-style smuggling group.
Lai Cangxing set foot in the petroleum industry, real estate industry, and cultural, sports, and entertainment industries in Xia City with smuggling profits, and extensively wooed the upper echelons of relations with a large amount of money. In 1996, when the 88-storey "Yuanhua International Center" broke ground, Lai Cangxing invited nearly 2,000 guests from the upper echelons, each of whom gave a bag of gifts worth thousands of yuan, and also held a banquet to invite them to eat a "working meal", which was full of shark fin, abalone, ginseng, bird's nest and other things.
He cast a vast net, and his methods can be simply summarized as "seven sons": tickets, women, seats, houses, cars, notebooks (passports), and children. If these "seven sons" are taken care of in an all-round way, they will often not be worried about not being able to open the way of smuggling. He is like a spider's web, left and right, and finally forms a complex, practical, and solid smuggling web.
With the huge wealth brought by smuggling, Lai Cangxing almost became the actual power owner of Xia City. Through his Yuanhua International Company, he has hoarded land in important areas of Xiamen.
In order to make it easier to "receive" his friends, he built a seven-story red brick building and named it "Red House". It was an unassuming building with a private banquet hall, a cinema, a sauna and massage room, and guest rooms. The upper-class characters who can enter the Red Mansion are all Lai Cangxing's "friends", and everything here is free of charge, and most of the upper-class characters will linger.
The Yuanhua case finally happened, and the Lai family fell to the ground with a bang.
Later, the top leader of Xia City admitted frankly that after Lai's case, Taiwanese investment in Xia City fell by 27 percent, setting a record high.
The Li family, which was on par with the Lai family at that time, is still there now, thinking about the strength of the Li family in the current Xia City, you will know how terrifying it is.
So as soon as Li Wenhui came in, he was surrounded and embraced by people.
The woman shook her champagne glass and said in a daze.
"Then why don't you go ......"
"Am I not with you?"
"Hehe, I'm not as attractive as that Mr. Li, are you accompanying the wrong person?"
