Chapter 478: Distinguished Guests

"Which one?"

Li Zhiyang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask again, wanting to confirm it from the butler's mouth.

"It's David. Mr. Rockefeller. ”

The butler repeated it again, and it was obvious that the name shook him a lot.

He was a butler from England, and before he was hired by Kozlov, he also served in the homes of many wealthy people, celebrities, and business tycoons.

But like David. A big man like Rockefeller, the head of one of America's most legendary families, was the first time he had seen him, so he was a little confused

James also knew very well at this time that it was David coming, so he hurriedly said to the butler with a solemn expression.

"Quick, get them in. ”

The butler was about to turn away, when James seemed to remember something again, so he stopped him again and said to him.

"Ask Mr. David to go to the reception room on the first floor, where we will meet him. ”

Li Zhiyang glanced at James, and knew that James felt that it might be inconvenient to talk here, so he got up and followed James to the reception room on the first floor.

That reception room was the same study room that Kozlov had talked to them about buying a house yesterday, and as soon as Li Zhiyang and the others arrived there, there was a knock on the door.

James and Li Zhiyang went over in person and opened the door, only to see the butler in front, and behind him was followed by a large number of people of all colors.

An old man with gray hair, sitting in a wheelchair, surrounded by stars and moons, and on his left hand was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, tall and with a mustache, typical American appearance.

On his right hand, there is another middle-aged man, this person is not easy to distinguish age, and he is very well maintained, but his eyes are very sharp, and between looking forward to it, people can feel the majesty of the superior on his body

James had already greeted him by this time, walked up to the white-haired old man in a wheelchair and said.

"Uncle David, I really didn't expect you to come today, why didn't you notify us in advance, let's get ready. ”

His demeanor was very kind, even with a hint of humility

Li Zhiyang looked at the white-haired and fat old man in a wheelchair, and thought in his heart, it seems that this is one of the most powerful people in the United States, David, Rockefeller

At this time, the old man's eyes did not stay on James too much, but looked directly at Li Zhiyang.

His eyes are so bright, it's hard to believe, he is already an old guy in his nineties, Li Zhiyang felt a little hot on his body, as if he was being looked at by this old man's gaze, and he saw it clearly, and a feeling of having nothing to hide began to rise in his heart.

This is the first time since Li Zhiyang's rebirth that he has felt such a great pressure because of the only one left in the world, the third-generation Rockefeller

"Yang, come here, let me introduce you, this is the pride of our Rockefeller family now, the living legend, the current head of the family, David. Mr. Rockefeller. ”

James called Li Zhiyang in front of the old man and introduced him.

The old man still stared at Li Zhiyang with his piercing eyes and did not speak.

"Uncle David, this is the one I mentioned to you before, Nancy's future husband, Li Zhiyang from the Celestial Empire, you can call him Yang"

James had a very formal introduction of Li Zhiyang to David.

"Good, nice to meet you, young man, you're nice"

David finally opened his mouth to speak, and he held out his hand covered with old age spots.

Li Zhiyang hurriedly grabbed David's outstretched hand, and then said.

"It should be said that it is my honor to meet you. ”

After the initial shock, Li Zhiyang has quickly adjusted his mood, although this David is currently one of the most powerful people in the United States and even the world, but for Li Zhiyang, he is just an old man who is about to die.

But face must be given, this David is the ancestor of the current Rockefeller family, although he basically doesn't manage the family much now, and puts the power of managing the family in the hands of Lawrence's grandson Allen and the small nine-member cabinet.

But this does not mean that he has no influence in the family, in fact, as long as David comes out and says a word, whether it is within the family or in the entire United States, he will definitely have a lot of influence.

Therefore, Li Zhiyang must show due respect at this time, such respect is not only respect for this legend, but also respect for himself

What's more, this David is also a respectable figure, if it is said that in the third generation of Rockefeller, the greatest achievement is their head Lawrence. Rockefeller.

So if there is anyone who can come second, then there is no doubt that it is the David in front of him. Rockefeller.

Lawrence is very much like little John. Rockefeller liked it, and thus inherited the largest number of Rockefeller family properties, including most of the shares of ExxonMobil, the New York Stock Exchange, and most of the shares of the Rockefeller consortium.

And this David. Rockefeller didn't get any less John Jr. Rockefeller's favor, he inherited the Chase Manhattan Bank from the second generation of Rockefeller

He gradually expanded the operation of this bank to become the sixth largest bank among the world's top ten banks, that is, JPMorgan Chase after the merger with Morgan, which the Celestial Empire likes to call Xiao Mo.

His life, for now, can indeed be called a legendary one

"Zhiyang, and this one, this is the current acting head of our Rockefeller family, Allen. Rockefeller, my brother. Hello, brother. ”

James introduced the middle-aged man on David's right, who exuded the spirit of a king, to Li Zhiyang.

However, before the middle-aged man and Li Zhiyang met, he himself went up first and gave the guy a bear hug, it seems that the relationship between the two brothers is very good, but just now he had to put the position of their family's ancestor first, so he didn't say hello to his brother.

"Hahaha James, you look very good, it seems that this son-in-law of yours is very satisfying to you"

That Allen, with a hearty smile, slapped James on the back.

As the grandchildren of Lawrence's direct descendants, they are the only two brothers who can handle it.

As for the others, most of them are not in the climate, and they can only receive a part of the money every year in the family trust fund and make a living. Therefore, the two brothers have always been watching and helping each other, and the relationship is quite solid.

Alan is the current acting head of the family, and when making decisions at the family meeting, it is inevitable that he will offend some people in the family, and at this time, his good old brother, the family's golden oil James, will come forward to reconcile.

So Alan also values his younger brother very much, this time he followed David to see, what about the son-in-law his brother chose?

After the two brothers finished greeting, Alan turned to look at Li Zhiyang, stretched out his big hand, and then said.

"I've heard James talk about you a lot lately, and you're really nice. ”

Li Zhiyang hurriedly held the thug of the current regent of the Rockefeller family, needless to say, this must be the head of the family after David's death, and it will definitely be of great benefit to him in the future if he handles the relationship with the other party now.

"Thank you for the compliment, what should I call you, uncle, or Alan?"

Li Zhiyang replied with a smile.

"Haha, you are really different from the people of the Celestial Empire in my impression, the people of the Celestial Empire in my impression are very shy, they don't like to talk much, they are very shy and don't like to express their thoughts in front of everyone. You're really different, though. Just call me Allen."

Allen looked at Li Zhiyang's eyes and said to him, and at the same time, Li Zhiyang did not avoid his eyes.

After Li Zhiyang and Allen finished greeting, James brought him to the mustache standing on David's left hand side and introduced him.

"This is David's grandson, my cousin, Derek. Rockefeller. Derek, this is my future son-in-law, Li Zhiyang. ”

James's attitude was very enthusiastic, but Li Zhiyang heard the lukewarm taste in it, obviously he didn't look down on this Derek.

Li Zhiyang remembers very well that James once told him that this Derek is actually a playboy, and the mud can't support the wall, if David is still alive, everyone has to give his old man some face, he will not appear in the family's small cabinet of nine people.

"Hello, Derek. Nice to see you. ”

Li Zhiyang smiled and stretched out his hand, his words were very official and powerful.

And this Derek was unexpected, holding Li Zhiyang's hand with one hand, and then beating Li Zhiyang's chest with the other, and said with a smile.

"It's very sturdy, it's true that you are very different from the Celestial Empire people I've seen, you know that in my impression, they are all very small, the kind with flat faces, but you are different, really different hahaha"

This guy is really a fool who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to open his mouth, and he makes Li Zhiyang understand why this guy is so unpopular

Derek's words also made James and Allen, who were standing beside him, a little discolored, this guy, what kind of bastard is this?

There are so many people here, and Li Zhiyang is also the son-in-law of James no matter what, so you have a posture of belittling the people of the Celestial Empire, aren't you also belittling Li Zhiyang?

"Well, let's stop standing here and talking, okay, let's go inside and talk. ”

David also heard his grandson's bastard words, and he also felt that it was a bit unorthodox to say this here, but he was not good at reprimanding Derek in front of so many people, so he quickly interrupted and said.

"Oh, okay. ”

James and Li Zhiyang hurriedly got out of the way, let the entourage behind them push David's wheelchair into the reception room, and then moved the old man with inconvenient legs and feet from the wheelchair to the sofa to sit.

"Oh oh oh this study is really big, when we came just now, we had a rough look outside, this castle, I have to say, this place is really his ** beautiful and hey James, I heard, you just bought this place, how much did it cost?"

It's Derek's big-mouthed voice again, this guy is really a little heartless, it seems that he doesn't feel it at all, his previous words have made everyone feel a little unhappy.

This guy may really look like a straw bag, but in this way, his words are very likely just now, but they are just his true words, and it does not necessarily mean that he is a bastard who discriminates against the people of the Celestial Empire, Li Zhiyang thought in his heart.

In order not to make the atmosphere in the room embarrassing, besides, he also knew that his cousin was such a big mouth with thick lines, and he could not speak at all as a fool with a brain, so he could only answer lukewarmly.

"I didn't buy it here, I bought it from Zhiyang. ”

"Oh, yes, Weifu, Zhiyang, how much did you spend on this villa?"

Derek originally thought that James had bought it here, but at this time James said that it was bought by Li Zhiyang, and he was very surprised, so he turned around and asked Li Zhiyang.

"It's not a lot, it's just $200 million. ”

Li Zhiyang replied with a smile, it is indeed 200 million US dollars, but now for him, it is really not a lot

"Oh, I have to say, you Celestial Empire people, it's really rich."

Derek's tongue tingled with the number, but he was used to such thick lines, and he spoke like that, thanks to his mother, who was a fierce girl

If David has any regrets in his life, it can only be his unsuccessful son. His first few children were all daughters, and it wasn't until others reached middle age that they had a son.

It is precisely because this son is not easy to come by, so he is very spoiled by this son, with a rich family like them, if he spoils his son, how can there be a good result?

As a result, this son is a nightmare of shame for the Dawei family, he has changed many schools since he was a teenager because of all day trouble, if it weren't for his surname Rockefeller, maybe that guy wouldn't even finish middle school.

After David's son became an adult, he became a rich second generation of Yanai who recruited cats and dogs all day long and did all kinds of evil

He lived a drunken life every day, drank and took drugs, lived a corrupt life, and later died in a traffic accident.

Although this guy is a typical loser playboy, David has wiped countless butts for this debt collector all his life, but he is David's son after all.

So when David learned of the death of this son, he was also very sad, when his son was only in his thirties, because of his bad reputation in the rich circle, he had not yet started a family.

After more than ten years, David learned out of nowhere that his son should have a son in the world, so he mobilized all his strength, and finally found this Derek back in Los Angeles.

This Derek's mother was just a passionate girl with David's son Chunfeng back then, and after David's death, she moved to Los Angeles to continue to earn a living.

Later, he gave birth to Derek there, and when Derek was a child, what good life could he live with such a mother?

So it's not hard to understand how he's doing today? He's just a character of this level

Many people in the Rockefeller family know his life experience, if he is not the grandson of David, let alone enter the small cabinet, even if he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, it is estimated that it will be difficult

But of course Li Zhiyang didn't know that in the past of Derek, he just felt that how could such a shallow and unqualified person appear in the small cabinet of the Rockefeller family, could it really be that David was confused?

"By the way, Uncle David, why did you come here so early? You know, Yang and Nancy's engagement ceremony will only take place around Christmas?"

James didn't want that big mouth to continue to talk nonsense, so he quickly interrupted Derek's words and asked David.

David is old, and he is a noble figure in the family, and he is old, so there are naturally many problems with this body.

So if it's not a big deal, this old guy has always been a bad fan, and leaving his villa in Oregon, even if it's a general event, he will just talk about it through a conference call, or call everyone to his villa to explain it clearly.

Like now, rushing from the villa in Oregon, James feels that things are definitely not as simple as they seem, and Yang and Nancy's engagement ceremony is still ten days away

"Well, I really have something important to discuss with you when I come this time. ”

David's spirit is very good now, he hasn't enjoyed such a good state for a long time, and he really thanks to the effect of Li Zhiyang's Haitian Strengthening Oral Liquid.

Not long ago, James sent a lot of things over, originally David didn't believe it, these products from the Celestial Empire, but with the attitude of trying it, he drank a few, but he didn't expect this thing to have an immediate effect, and even his decades-old cold legs felt a lot better.

When James heard David say this, he also felt a little strange, what kind of big thing was worth rushing from Oregon with such a laborious teacher as the ancestor.

"I know there will be a lot of disagreement between you in this matter, even if it is brought to the parliament of the small cabinet, you will only quarrel, I know that in your generation, Alan and you have always been the two most visionary, so I want to hear your opinions. ”

David looked around, then waved his hand and motioned for the group of followers to stand aside, and when they had all retreated, he continued.
