【Chapter 1140】 Feast of the Wealthy (Subscription Requested!)
The star-studded red carpet ceremony was a sight to behold reporters and TV viewers, and it's hard to see so many big-name stars on the same occasion other than the Oscars and Lawrence.
Through the TV signal, thousands of viewers know and understand the situation of the 'Ginkgo Foundation', which has further enhanced the Foundation's influence on a global scale.
Although the 'Ginkgo Foundation' does not accept donations from the general public, there are still many benefits to the Foundation's influence, such as more wealthy people choosing to hand over their donations to the 'Ginkgo Foundation' to help more disadvantaged groups, and more and more caring people and professionals will take the initiative to join the ranks of the Foundation's volunteers; .......
This is also an important reason why Xiao Feng insists on holding a red carpet ceremony before the celebration party, because only in this way can the 'Ginkgo Foundation' be known by more people and play a more active role."
For the cultural and sports stars who participated in the red carpet ceremony, 'Dream Manor' has built a platform for them to face a global audience, so that they can show their style to fans and audiences around the world in this way.
Whether it is for the sake of popularity, image building and advertising revenue, such a large-scale and world-renowned red carpet ceremony is always beneficial.
…………
After the red carpet ceremony, the media reporters had no choice but to leave the 'Dream Manor', and the subsequent celebration parties and charity auctions will not all be public, after all, there are many super-rich people involved, and they don't want their private image to be reported.
Although some reporters were unwilling, the security personnel of the 'Dream Manor' were watching from the side, staring at all the reporters to evacuate from the small square, and the reporters were powerless even if they wanted to make small moves.
The first half of the celebration party is open to the media and the public, and the following banquets and charity auctions are only allowed to be filmed by media that have a close relationship with the 'Mirror Lake Group', and the content of the report is subject to the strict requirements of the 'Mirror Lake Group'.
Even so, reporters from Huaxia TV Economic Channel, Inspur Network, ABC and other media who have obtained permission to interview still won the envy of their peers.
Don't look at the media in Europe and the United States who have been shouting the slogan of 'freedom of the press', but this is just a boo-off in the external propaganda, and they dare not say a word of nonsense in the face of those super giants who are in charge of the lifeblood of the United States.
In the eyes of many Chinese people, the media and journalists in Europe and the United States are a transcendent existence, and they satisfy people's various longings and fantasies about journalists, but only the super-rich like Xiao Feng, who is deeply involved in it, know that the media in Europe and the United States are not as perfect as people imagine.
In China, the press and public opinion must be restrained by the Propaganda Department, the 'great god of river crabs' is pervasive, and the news media people must pay attention to the 'party spirit,' which makes many people who worship foreigners think that press control is practiced in China, and that Western society is the real 'freedom of the press.'
In fact, the media in Europe and the United States are also subject to the control of the international machine, especially the capital behind the media groups, which represents the national background of Europe and the United States, and their reporting also has many restrictions.
For example, when the media that came to Neverland for interviews had a considerable number of behind-the-scenes consortium leaders present at the celebration party, it is natural that the 'freedom of the press' cannot be demanded from their own bosses.
Therefore, the so-called 'freedom of the press' is nothing more than a gimmick, and the 'capital' of European and American society is the most important force.
As a Chinese, Xiao Feng has no intention of giving up his Chinese nationality, why can he have extensive influence in the United States, if it is said that he won it back on the basketball court, it would be too child's play.
The reason why Xiao Feng has become an important partner of many wealthy consortia in the United States and a guest of the American political bigwigs is that in addition to some benefits brought by the 'Space Spirit Spring', the huge capital behind him also provides him with a strong backing.
Today, the total value of the 'Mirror Lake Group' industry in the United States has exceeded 20 billion US dollars, brought more than 10,000 local jobs, and driven the huge consumption of more than 2 million foreign tourists. The organic ingredients of Miracle Farm and the top steaks of Dream Ranch have become one of the most important daily consumption of the American middle class and above.
Once there is any shock in the industry of Xiao Feng and the 'Jinghu Group', it will affect the lives and even survival of tens of thousands of Americans, which cannot help but attract the attention of the American authorities and various consortia.
In this way, Xiao Feng, a young man with a Chinese passport, became a major figure in the United States, and his celebration party was full of friends.
At tonight's celebration party, Li Minghua, consul of the Chinese Imperial Consulate General in Los Angeles, attended the dinner and will bid for a special item at a charity auction to be held later,......。
In the United States, Xiao Feng has become a very special existence, he has a lot of money, has a wide influence in the economic field, coupled with Xiao Feng's special background, has become a buffer and microphone between the Chinese Empire and the American Empire, and it is reasonable for all walks of life to attach importance to him.
…………
The main building of the 'Dream Restaurant' is brightly lit, and the lawn in front of the main building is also lit up with countless colored lights, and the entire banquet venue is decorated with colorful and impressive decorations.
In one corner of the lawn, two blazing flames reflected the faces of the guests, making them feel the enthusiasm of their hosts on this hot summer day.
As a three-star Michelin chef, Xiao Jinhao personally served as the chef of the banquet venue today to satisfy the guests, in order to entertain the guests from the Middle East, Xiao Jinhao prepared two roasted whole sheep, and the rich fragrance began to permeate the entire venue.
In addition to the aroma of roasted whole lamb, there is a wide variety of delicacies at the banquet, and although many guests rarely eat when attending various banquets, it is unsociable not to eat at the banquet at the 'Dream Manor'.
As a result, at the celebration dinner of the 'Fantasy Manor', there was a scene rarely seen at the usual Western food buffet, and many guests in suits and leather shoes and luxurious dresses ate all kinds of delicacies regardless of their image, and even the hot delicacies including the roast duck with Chinese slices of skin were also drunk.
Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were the hosts, they walked among the guests with wine glasses, and thanks to their amazing memory, the two of them dealt with each guest decently, at least there would be no mistakes of Zhang Guan Li Dai.
Every time they meet a guest, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can tell each other what they are proud of recently, this gesture makes the guests feel like a spring breeze, and their senses for Xiao Feng and his wife are getting better and better.
The guests raised their glasses to congratulate Xiao Feng, whether it was Newcastle United's defending 'Quadruple' or the Lakers' three consecutive championships, both of which were amazing achievements in the history of sports, and of course, everyone also expressed the highest praise for the food and wine tonight.
The wines used in today's banquet are all from 'Xiao's Winery', 'No. 2 Winery' and 'Dream Winery', and the guests can choose from wines of various years and grades, and the guests can choose according to their own tastes.
For those who prefer a mellow taste, they can choose the 10-year-old dry red of 'Xiao's Winery', which is also the oldest wine of the 'Mirror Lake Group', and the price of $3,880 in the market is not always available.
For those who like the refreshing mineral taste, they can choose the 'No. 2 Piece', which was brewed last year, and the perfect blend of California sunshine and Napa Valley's soil, coupled with the 'Space Spring', has created a unique and top-notch wine in the world. As soon as the 'No. 2 work' was launched, it was immediately welcomed by master sommeliers and wine lovers, and the reputation rose all the way.
Today, 'No. 2' sells for more than $1,800 on the market, which is much higher than that of 'Xiao Wine', which may have added a lot to Napa Valley in addition to its own taste.
Middle-aged and elderly guests who like to feel the thick temperament prefer the 'Dream Wine' from the 'Dream Winery', a rare top-quality wine on the market that has become a peerless wine comparable to Romanée-Conti, and the price is staggeringly high.
The market price of a standard bottle of 750ml is as high as 13,880 US dollars, which is equivalent to the income of the American middle class in a quarter, and nearly 100,000 RMB is an astronomical amount in China. A bottle of wine can be poured for about 5 glasses, which means that basically a small sip is hundreds of dollars, and ordinary people don't even think about it.
In addition to fine wine, the prices of various top-notch delicacies at the banquet are not low, and Xiao Feng has invested a lot of money and silver in order to take out more money and silver from the pockets of the rich and invest it in the 'Ginkgo Foundation'.
Caviar, also known as caviar, means fish roe in Persian, and strictly speaking, only sturgeon roe can be called caviar, with caviar being produced in the Caspian Sea, which borders Iran and Russia, being the best quality. Not all sturgeon eggs can be made into caviar, there are more than 20 different species of sturgeon in the world, of which only three varieties of fish eggs are Beluga, oscietra and Sevruga to make caviar, the highest grade Beluga, which produces less than 100 fish a year, and Beluga who is over 60 years old can make caviar.
Caviar has been highly acclaimed for more than 2,000 years. Aristotle wrote it down in the 4th century B.C., and since then, there have been many books on the history of scholars who drooled between the lines, from Rabelais to Shakespeare to Evelyn Wauyh, and it is said that the gourmand Liang Shiqiu took Han Jingqing to eat caviar for a week when she fell in love with her.
Beluga sturgeon, the best quality sturgeon with the best quality of sturgeon eggs, can produce the world's most precious and rare caviar, Beluga caviar is available in color from light gray to gray-black, with a fine transparent film surrounding the slightly larger caviar, has always been called the "pearl of the Caspian Sea".
Caviar from the Caspian Sea is obtained from Beluga sturgeon, which weighs nearly 1,000 kilograms, and these sturgeons have a lifespan of almost 60 years, with a maximum production of about 100 sturgeons per year. These black caviars with a hint of golden luster are known as 'black gold', and they are even equivalent to gold, with a price of US$40/gram which is infinitely close to the international gold price.
Caviar salad, caviar lobster and other delicacies were prepared by top chefs on site, and when delivered to the guests, they still maintained an amazing taste and made the guests full of praise.
The Dream Steak from Dream Ranch is currently the world's top beef after Kobe Wagyu, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has restricted the export of the beef breed. A 200-gram 'Dream Steak' sells for up to $300 on the market, but at this banquet, it's just an ordinary delicacy.
When the chef cooks the steak, in addition to the Peruvian highland rose salt, he also adds fresh truffles, these top-quality white truffles from the 'Xiao Family Farm', which are sold for more than $2,000 per kilogram in the market, and the demand exceeds supply.
It can be said that all kinds of the world's most expensive delicacies throughout the year appear at this banquet, because the banquet scene is too luxurious, Xiao Feng has to restrict the entry of media reporters, otherwise this rich feast that costs more than 3 million US dollars will definitely be criticized by many media and people tomorrow.
In addition to providing a variety of top-notch food and wine for the guests at the banquet, Xiao Feng also prepared a generous gift for each of the guests present, including Xiao Feng's own health fruit wine, which is difficult to measure by market price, but it is precious!
As the saying goes, 'eat people with soft mouths and short hands', presumably these guests will not be too stingy in the future charity auctions, as long as more money is raised, all this effort is worth it.
The cost of treatment and rehabilitation for a child with leukemia and thalassemia is about 200,000 US dollars, and Xiao Feng's goal tonight is to win 200 million US dollars, which can help more than 1,000 children and give them a new life while saving their lives!
After retiring from the NBA, in addition to focusing his time and energy on his family, Xiao Feng will also shift more of his focus to charity, after all, having something to do is the best way to live.
The 'Jinghu Group' has entered the right track, Xiao Feng does not have to worry too much, and uses the 'Ginkgo Foundation' to help more disadvantaged groups and expand the influence of the 'Jinghu Group', which is the most important thing! )
