Chapter 672: The World of the Rich

While Link believes Kempner has plans to get into politics, he doesn't think the other side is likely to run in the presidential election within two decades. He thinks Kempner's highest goal is probably to get a senator.

Today, Kempner is also considered a celebrity in the United States. If you can get the support of the Texas consortium again, there is really no problem in running for a senator in Texas.

In addition to Kempner, Link's other rich and celebrity friends basically received invitations to this charity reception.

Furren overcame his fear of heights and came with his daughter.

Another top wealthy couple, Neil and Snapton, also came together. Amanda and Catherine, who are elites in the media industry, also came separately.

There are also some wealthy Chinese people that Link knows.

In addition, the Nolan brothers also attended in person.

Among the politicians, Charlie and several Link-backed parliamentarians also came.

Even Las Vegas casino administrators like Tommy Cockline and Douglas were invited.

It's really World Cancer Day.

Most excessively, Morris was also invited. Because Morris is now in charge of the Hans Fund, which is more than $20 billion.

Morris smiled when he saw Link and said, "Boss, it seems that they are worried that you will not donate enough tonight!" Since he was invited to this reception, the Hans Foundation must be donating.

Link, Hans Money, The Venetian, and Jessica, this is trying to cut four knives from Link.

Although the official start of the reception has not yet been announced, it has actually already begun.

Among the people who came to this drinking party, if they didn't need to take advantage of the occasion to socialize, they just wanted to put on a show, and by the way, they looked for an opportunity to see if an opportunity for cooperation suddenly appeared.

How do you say that?

To put it bluntly, it is to give others the opportunity to kneel and lick themselves, and wait for the opportunity to make money to come to the door by themselves. It also responds to that sentence: when people have money, they will find people, if people have no money, people will find money but can't find it.

Contrary to the former are those who need to take this opportunity to meet more people.

They took two or three hundred dollars a bottle of "cheap" alcohol offered by the organizers of the drinking party, and went around talking to their chosen targets. Others are carrying projects in the hope of finding an investor.

In any case, these wealthy people usually show philanthropic tendencies. But they are not particularly rich people. They have their own circles, and most of them are people with similar net worth. So this kind of occasion is a great opportunity to expand their network and break into a higher circle.

These people are people who have worked hard all their lives and finally have money, but they still want to go further. There are also some rich people who have never been given a chance to break through. They can be called billionaires, or multi-millionaires. In short, they all belong to the rich people, but none belong to the particularly rich people.

Link and Jessica received a lot of compliments from these people.

These people have an obvious feature, most of them are middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, but they are holding a young and beautiful woman by their side. These women are their wives. These women don't recognize themselves as vases, and they don't admit that they love the men's money. Whether it's twenty or thirty differences, they love those men anyway. Because these men are attractive.

It's just that they won't say where the charm of these old men comes from.

With the identities of Link and Jessica, those who dare to come up and talk to each other are to say hello, say a few words and leave. Their purpose is to get acquainted with Link and Jessica, hoping that if the two of them have any projects in the future, they will think of them.

The people who can really say a few words to Link and Jessica are at least the ones who have entered the 400 richest list in the United States. Then there are successful people in various industries. For example, figures above the federal parliamentarian.

Anyway, the Links don't need to take the initiative to talk to others. They don't have any projects that they need to work with now.

There are also some people who simply want to mingle with some people. These people are mainly those celebrities.

Link was certainly one of the targets of these people.

Link is not only interested in cinema, he has invested in six films over $200 million in the past few years. Those six movies all made a lot of money at the box office.

In particular, the "Moon Pupil" series of movies has now been filmed twice, and the first two have reached more than $1.2 billion at the global box office. The third part has already released rumors and is ready to be filmed.

A couple of other Link's films were just investments, and he also made at least $200 million from them. Although it is very small, in terms of film investment, it has made a lot of money.

Since Link started investing in movies, the eight films he has invested in have all grossed very well. In Hollywood, there are already people who joke: "As long as it's a good movie for Link Hans, you don't have to worry about losing money." ”

Someone has actually studied Link and found that he never went wrong with his investments. Even the "Truss No. 1" grape, which has already been sentenced to death, has only been in Link's hands for a year and a half to produce a world-class white wine.

To say that Link is capable, no one dares to deny it. But to say that there is no element of luck in Link's success, the whole world will not be convinced.

So some filmmakers really want Link to invest in their films, whether the legend is true or not, but they all want to borrow Link's good luck.

And Link also controls one of the world's second-largest cinema chains, the Logo Cinema Line

In this case, whether it is a film company, a producer, a director or an actor, they all hope to get acquainted with Link.

Super-rich, bankers, politicians, businessmen and celebrities, Link and Jessica don't know how many people they have met in just an hour.

Everyone has their own circle. Different industries, different classes. Although the people here are mostly wealthy. But the rich are also classified.

and HO officials gave speeches, and some former politicians, such as the former black president, were also invited to speak. Of course, they all received warm applause without exception.

No one at the reception said anything about fundraising, but there was a huge donation box on the stage. As long as you want to donate money, you can get a check and stuff it in. On this occasion, no one will use the low-grade goods of banknotes.

During the period, some invited celebrities performed on stage.

Wealthy people who want to donate money will not come to the stage to donate in person, but ask someone arranged by the organizer to take the check to register and then put it in the donation box.

So few people at the scene know how much others have donated, maybe the organizer of the reception will announce it.

Both Link and Jessica each signed a personal check. The group of the Ozette consortium did not ask the others what number of checks they signed, and after they signed them, they called the staff and put the check into the plexiglass box held by the staff.

When everyone's speeches are over, there are performances by some stars in between. But this is actually free time for the people in the audience.

Flon came with his daughter, Katie. Just now he took his daughter to Hollywood for a spin in the circle, which was for his daughter.

Katie is now a mature girl in her twenties, and she is also a first-class beauty under makeup. But that's nothing in Hollywood. Katie starred in two "Moon Pupils", one more important than the other, and also participated in the heroine of some low-budget films. In the third part, she is going to play the second female lead. However, she can only be regarded as a second-tier actress in Hollywood. It's still a lot away from a superstar.

Flren is indeed very rich and has some connections in Hollywood. But Hollywood is Jewish-controlled. Because Hollywood has long been controlled by Wall Street.

Fllen, on the other hand, is less popular on Wall Street. So his connections in Hollywood can't put Katie in the position of superstar. And Link, although he has deeper connections, can't help her much.

Fren raised his glass to Link and joked, "I think everyone just saw that your check was bigger than the others!"

Link laughed and said, "I just hope they don't expect my check to have a zero more than anyone else's." He paused and said. "You know, I just threw 70 million into the water. And Jessica's 10 million. ”

"So many?" Fren was stunned when he heard his number. "Well, who made you the richest man?" he also thought that now the whole world would be staring at Link. If Link donates less this time, the media will say everything.

Link explained: "I personally donated 40 million, the Hans Foundation donated 20 million, and Douglas also donated 10 million. ”

Furlen smiled and said, "This number is also appropriate. If you don't, you'll lose your style. ”

Flon put away his smile as he spoke, and said, "There's someone over there who wants to get to know you." Interested in meeting them?"

"Who?"

"A French artist. He wanted to start a modern sculpture competition. I think he has enough money, but not enough other resources. ”

Link was a little confused: "Modern sculpture, what is that?"

Jessica whispered in his ear: "The so-called modern sculpture is a sculpture made of modern materials, which is relatively abstract. Actually, Jessica doesn't know either. But she feels that so-called modern sculpture is just like thatβ€”she, like Link, is artistically indifferent

"Oh. Link nodded and said to Fren. "What does he want?"

"Publicity. Flon said with a smile. "I think he saw that your NTV was more popular among young Americans. Also, I think he'd like to get some support from you. ”

"Did he think of me because of the publicity?" If the artist had no money, he probably wouldn't have been invited here. "I guess that's not necessarily the most important reason. ”

"He said he felt you were genuinely supportive of art. You forgot, you're the sole sponsor of the National Children's and Teenagers' Art Competition. ”

Link also understood, nodded and said, "Then you can ask him to come and talk." ”

Hearing Link say this, Fren gestured with his glass in the direction he had just come.
