At 6 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing arrived at the White House, and under the guidance of the White House staff, Xu Qing came to the hall where the reception was held, and there were already some people in the hall.

The reception starts at 7 p.m., and there is still an hour to go, and it is a sign of respect for the White House to come early, but it is not good to have guests wait directly in the lobby for more than an hour.

So there is also a lounge next to the lobby, where guests can go to the lounge for a while if they want to rest.

The White House staff who were in charge of guiding Xu Qing left the hall after telling Xu Qing the location of the rest room, smoking room, toilet, and emergency passage.

Xu Qing looked at the guests who were chatting in circles, and there were many guests he knew.

Without waiting for Xu Qing to chat with them, many guests took the initiative to come over to greet Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's power on the Internet, almost no one here can compare, and only Bill Gates can compare with Xu Qing.

The vast majority of Internet companies here have business ties with Xu Qing's Internet companies and Future Group, and some Internet companies have even invested.

Of course, the investment will not be too much, generally up to 10% of the shares.

There are also some Internet companies here that have made enemies with Xu Qing, such as AOL.

There are also companies that are friendly on the surface, but in fact want the other party to die, such as Microsoft.

Previously, because of the browser, Extraordinary Browser and IE Browser had a battle, although the two sides later reconciled, Xu Qing became a shareholder of Microsoft, and Bill Gates became a shareholder of Extraordinary Company.

But both sides have always wanted each other to die.

Another reason is that in the past two years, both sides have been vying for the title of the first Internet company.

Although most people think that Microsoft is still the No. 1 Internet company, the future group is developing very strongly, and many people now believe that the future group is the first Internet company.

And the vast majority of people believe that the future group has greater development potential, and will soon surpass Microsoft and become the veritable No. 1 Internet company.

But on today's occasion, no matter what the relationship with Xu Qing is, everyone still shows kindness.

Because there were reporters present.

Xu Qing greeted everyone with a smile, some people left after saying hello to Xu Qing, and some people wanted to chat with Xu Qing.

Allen stayed, and Bill Gates left.

If Allen still holds a substantive position at Microsoft, then he will also leave like Bill Gates.

But Allen has resigned from Microsoft for a few years, although he still retains shares in Microsoft, but over the years Allen has invested in many companies, and the color of Microsoft on his body is getting weaker and weaker.

But even so, Allen stayed to chat with Xu Qing and still caused everyone's surprise.

Many people looked at Bill Gates' expression at the same time, and Bill Gates's expression was a little unsightly at first, but soon changed to a smile again.

There are journalists here.

Of course, Alan knew that if he stayed to chat with Xu Qing, it would cause other people to talk about it, and even make Bill Gates angry.

But it doesn't matter, he's not Bill Gates' subordinate, he's a shareholder of Microsoft, and his stake in Microsoft is untouchable.

In order to make Xu Qing promise him to invest in Future Group, he was willing to stay and chat with Xu Qing.

He believed that his move would make Xu Qing understand his sincerity.

Xu Qing was quite happy that Alan stayed and chatted with him, not for other reasons, mainly because among the guests present, he and Alan were more able to chat.

It hurts to say it, among the dozens of guests present, Xu Qing couldn't talk to a few.

This is also because Xu Qing doesn't like to socialize, usually Xu Qing except for some people who need to socialize, other people Xu Qing rarely takes the initiative to socialize.

Xu Qing's approach is not in line with the identity of a real businessman, but who made Xu Qingniu become the richest man in the world in just a few years.

There are fewer and fewer people who need Xu Qing to take the initiative to communicate, but more and more people take the initiative to get in touch with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing and Alan have known each other for a long time, but they used to know each other politely, and they are really familiar with each other in the last few times.

It's still quite interesting to talk to Alan, this is the conclusion that Alan came to visit him some time ago.

Allen is very thick-skinned and loves to brag, and Xu Qing is the same, the last time the two of them were in a completely private occasion, they combined for more than 10 minutes of business blowing to each other.

In addition to Allen staying to chat with Xu Qing, there were 6 or 7 other people who also stayed.

On this occasion, it is impossible to talk about trade secrets, so Xu Qing and Allen did not talk about investing in Future Group.

The guests who can attend tonight's White House cocktail party are basically successful people in business, but the topics they talk about are similar to ordinary people.

Celebrity gossip, anecdotes and other messy things will be talked about.

Everyone is also a mortal, and it is not that if you are rich, you will become an immortal who does not eat the fireworks of the world, it is nothing more than a higher vision, and you know more ordinary people who don't know how to think about information.

For the topics that most ordinary people talk about, Xu Qing and these people will still talk about it.

Of course, the same topic and the content of the conversation are unknown to many ordinary people.

For example, in the recent derailment incident of a female celebrity that has become popular in the United States, ordinary people talk about who the female celebrity's cheating partner is, and when will she derail?

And Xu Qing and they talked about how many people the female star had played with, who had dived, and even played by a guest present.

This information will not be known to ordinary people, because the media is afraid to report it.

After chatting and chatting, a few people couldn't help but let out a lewd smile, but they all quickly changed to a normal smile, and there were reporters in this hall.

Although any troubles that happen to guests in this hall, things that do not conform to etiquette, will not be reported.

But just in case, a certain reporter takes a picture of their lewd smile, hides it, and then sends it out by covert means at some point in the future, and it hurts.

Because this is likely to make them frequent emoji customers, Xu Qing, who is well aware of the future development of the Internet, knows very well that the world will be the world of emojis in the future.

The people who can stay and chat with Xu Qing are all like-minded people, and the content of the conversation is what Xu Qing is interested in.

If you don't like the content of the chat, you will feel that time flies so slowly, and if you like it, then you will find that time flies so quickly.

It was about 6:50 p.m., and all the guests had arrived, and so had the government officials, just Clinton away.

But Clinton is the president, the nominally highest-ranking person, and this is the White House, Clinton's turf, which must have appeared at 7 p.m.

Tonight's cocktail was a freestyle reception in which guests sat at round tables, not freestyle.

Which table each guest sits at, the White House has already arranged.

Xu Qing, Bill Gates, and Allen sat at table 1.
