In the evening, California Governor Jerry Brown hosted Jiang Chen at the governor's mansion, as well as Richard Fox, vice president of Warner Bros., and celebrities from all walks of life in Los Angeles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For the world's richest man, who is at the top of the Forbes wealth list and rivals the richest country, Jiang Chen naturally became the central figure of the banquet. The eyes that were cast at him were envious, or peeping, or jealous, or friendly. Many entrepreneurs who want to climb the big tree of the Future People Group can be said to have cut their heads and want to squeeze in front of him to be familiar with his face and climb as he likes.

Jiang Chen never thought that he would set foot in the United States with such a attitude, but when this day came, he didn't feel too much surprise.

"Welcome to the United States, Mr. Jiang Chen, this is a paradise for rich people, and you will love it. Mr. Fox smiled and lifted the champagne and gently clinked glasses with Jiang Chen.

As one of the shareholders, Mr. Fox is looking forward to "Iron Curtain of Time", which was jointly produced by Warner Bros. and Virtual Image Animation, the world's only large-scale VR modeling company. Now the filming has entered the final stage, and it will be on the screen as soon as January next year at the latest.

For this next-generation film and television work that has joined forces, major film review websites have given quite optimistic predictions. After all, it is the world's first film based on VR technology, and even if it is for this freshness, there is no reason why the box office will be low.

"If you're referring to Mr. Brown's banquet. Jiang Chen smiled and drank all the champagne in the glass.

At this time, Mr. Governor and a middle-aged man in a suit walked here.

Brown, who had a shaved head, smiled and asked Jiang Chen, "How is it, are you satisfied with the drink?"

"Very satisfied, thank you for your hospitality. Jiang Chen replied politely.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. Allow me to introduce Andy Chiannini, the sponsor of this banquet. Brown smiled and introduced Jiang Chen to the middle-aged man standing beside him, "The chairman of the Bank of America, and the majority shareholder of the Safe Pacific Company. ”

"It's so boring to put business on a business card, and I'd rather be called a golfer. Andy grinned, showed a full mouthful of eyes, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Chen, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen." ”

Jiang Chen noticed that when he saw this, Mr. Fox, a shareholder of Warner Bros., seemed quite reserved.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kiannini. Jiang Chen took his outstretched hand.

To be honest, this surname is a bit of a mouthful. The first time he read it, he almost bit his tongue.

However, Jiang Chen is no stranger to the surname Kiannini.

After all, he represents the Future People Group, and before coming to the United States, he can be said to have done his homework.

Bank of America is arguably the financial core of the California consortium, and its predecessor was the Bank of Italy, founded by A.P. Chiannini, a descendant of Italian immigrants, in the early 20th century. The man standing in front of him is one of the real powers in the United States. In a country dominated by Wall Street, capitalists are at the heart of power, and although the California consortium is slightly inferior to the Eastern consortium, its century-old wealth is still not to be underestimated.

Many people know that Los Angeles, California, is rich in American blockbusters, but few people know that California is also the largest arms production site in the United States. Including the famous Lockheed Aircraft Corporation and Northrop Grumman, the first and second largest arms companies in the United States are all from this family. Although the stake has also been diluted a lot by the eastern consortium, its position as the hegemon of the military industry is still unshakable.

Holding such a banquet and paying money from the treasury of the state government is definitely not possible. If nothing else, let's just say that the champagne on this table is all famous wines from Italian wineries. The cost of alcohol alone is more than hundreds of thousands of dollars. If reporters know that the governor is taking taxpayers' money to party, the next day the media will have a collective high tide.

However, the fact that the Kiannini family contributed money also shows that the governor has a good relationship with the California consortium.

It can even be said that the party itself was held at the behest of the big man.

The conversation between the two was light-hearted, and there was little talk about business. This Mr. Chiannini seemed to be quite interested in golf, and when Jiang Chen mentioned that he owned a golf course at the foot of Mount Fuji, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile.

"Dare to take the bottom when the Resident Evil broke out in Tokyo, Mr. Jiang is really bold. If I have the chance to go to Tokyo, I must visit your golf course. ”

Having said that, Jiang Chen didn't believe that he was the only one who carved up Japan's assets at that time. The West Coast consortium of the United States, which has always been interested in East Asian affairs, could not afford to miss such a good opportunity. Although there is an element of gambling in it, what is one or two tens of billions of dollars for this kind of consortium?

"Haha, please be sure to enjoy the light. Jiang Chen said politely with a smile.

The greetings lasted about ten minutes, and the governor and Mr. Fox retired one after another, and joined other circles with champagne, and this Mr. Chiannini finally got the conversation to "business".

"I heard...... Mr. Jiang has some friction with Freemasonry? I don't know if it's true or not?"

After asking this sentence, Chiannini seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate to ask directly, so he added.

"Of course, I don't mean to be offended. Our ancestors came from Italy, and although the Chiannini family was no longer part of the WASP faction, we also had reservations about Jewish opinions. ”

"Of course there is friction, and it's not small. If Mr. Kiannini watches the news, he will not fail to understand. Jiang Chen smiled.

Kiannini smiled and did not speak.

Of course he read the news, and it was impossible for him not to understand this kind of well-known thing. It's just that listening to the person speaking in person has a completely different meaning than hearsay. Because most of the industries are located on the West Coast, the Chiannini family is far away from Washington, the economic and political center of the United States, and in the eyes of the East Coast consortium, they are more like "local landlords" in the countryside than a rival of equal ranks.

This is also the reason for the decline of the California consortium, which is now almost at the bottom of the top 10 consortiums in the United States. If it weren't for the colossus of the Bank of America, the Texas consortium, which emerged after World War II, would even be on an equal footing.

This sense of alienation from the mainstream world made the Chiannini family quite restless. That's why they're keen to invest in Asia, and if they can't go east, they have to find a way out of the west.

The friction between the Future Man Group and Freemasonry opened their eyes to opportunity.

If Freemasonry falls, the Freemasonic consortium led by Goldman Sachs will inevitably face liquidation, and the situation of Wall Street's dichotomy will be completely broken, which will undoubtedly be a rare opportunity for the West Coast consortium far from the center of power.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that the Future Man Group can win in the end.

Andy Chiannini was convinced that he hadn't looked away, and with his eyes, he thought he was worth betting on the young man. (To be continued.) )
