Chapter 1168: Building Momentum
Morgan had already chosen the person to introduce him, and that person was Cessis as the master.
This reception was a gathering for the upper echelons and a great occasion for socializing, and as the host, there would certainly be no guests on the guest list invited by Sisis who were enemies of each other.
Gao Yang followed Morgan to the side of Sisis, at this time Sisis had stopped greeting guests, was talking and laughing with people, after seeing Morgan and Gao Yang approaching, Sisis quickly left the crowd he was in, nodded to Morgan and Gao Yang, and then the three of them walked together to Wilpen, who was also talking.
Wilpen is a family, and the New York Metropolitan belongs to Fred. Wilpen, as for the chief operating officer of the New York met, also has the surname Wilpen.
Present at today's reception was Fred Brown, the owner of the New York Met. Wilpen.
When they walked up to Fred, Fred immediately stopped talking, raised his glass and smiled at Sisis, "Thank you for the reception, Sisis." ”
It can be seen that Fred. Wilpen and Sisis are very familiar with each other, Sisis smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Morgan and said, "Fred, introduce you to a friend, this is Morgan. Reeves. ”
Fred immediately made a long-admired expression, stretched out his hand to Morgan, and said loudly: "Mr. Reeves, I am very glad to meet you, I have admired your name for a long time. ”
Morgan shook hands with Fred, smiled on their faces, and said in a deep voice, "Mutual friend, Mr. Wilpen, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
After Morgan and Fred shook hands, Sisis pointed at Gao Yang and said, "This is Gao Yang, Mr. Gao." ”
Fred and Gao Yang shook hands. smiled: "Mr. Gao." Nice to meet you. ”
It's nothing more than a few polite words. After saying that, even if they got acquainted, Sisis smiled and said, "Fred, there is something you must help, no, it's not actually helping, it's helping you." ”
Fred immediately put on a very interested look and smiled, "Oh, please." I'm listening. ”
Fred made a gesture of listening, and Sisis pointed in the direction of Morgan and Gao Yang, showing that the two of them were together, and smiled, "Let them say it themselves." ”
Morgan raised his glass, and Gao Yang chuckled, "Well, I have a friend who is a baseball genius, he has enough talent to get into the big leagues, and he has been a big fan of the New York Mets since he was a child, and I would like to ask Mr. Wilpen to provide an opportunity." I would be grateful if I could give my friend a tryout. ”
Fred laughed. "It's really a favor for me, if a genius joins the Mets, I can't ask for it, but I've never been directly involved in any specific affairs of the team. ”
It can be seen that the smile on Fred's face is a polite refusal, Gao Yang said that he was a genius, and people have to believe it.
Baseball is a mainstream sport in the United States, and there are a lot of children who play baseball, as a team owner, Fred must often receive the same request, he should not be surprised by this kind of thing, as for saying that he has been a Met fan since he was a child, this is even more ridiculous, if he wants to play in the Met, can he still say that he is a Yankee fan.
Gao Yang was slightly disappointed in his heart, he thought that Fred might not give a trial opportunity directly, but after Fred said with a difficult face that he would not interfere in any team affairs, he immediately waved his hand and shrugged his shoulders and said: "But since Mr. Reeves and Mr. Gao have brought it up, I will definitely make an exception." ”
Fred was waiting to sell it to Morgan, who raised his glass and chuckled, "Thank you very much for making an exception." ”
Gao Yang also smiled and said: "Great, my friend will definitely be happy, but I am confident that his level will not disappoint you." ”
Fred smiled: "You're welcome, it's just a small thing, if your friend is really a genius, then you are helping me, speaking of which, I have to ask where your friend was trained?" ”
After saying that, Fred shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to the crowd and said, "I'm a fan, and since I said it, I need to know about the talented players who might make it to the Mets, right?" ”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, "My friend, he has no professional training, but he is very talented, well, he still likes baseball since he was a child, and he has been practicing a lot." ”
Hearing that Gao Yang had no professional training, Fred's eyes changed slightly, and he looked a little disapproving.
Gao Yang wanted to talk about the speed of Frye's pitching, but he didn't have a chance, Fred raised his hand, still with a smile on his face: "It's okay, there are many players who have not been professionally trained but have become superstars, someone will arrange a trial for your friend, when do you think the right time?" ”
Gao Yang immediately said: "Tomorrow, you can do it at any time." ”
Fred nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Mr. Gao, I'll give you a call, and tomorrow you call this number and say that you are looking for Jeff. Wilpen can, he's the team's COO, and I'll put him in charge of that. ”
Without pen and paper, Gao Yang memorized the number of a landline phone and smiled at Fred, "Thank you very much, Mr. Wilpen." ”
After thanking each other, Gao Yang stood aside and stopped talking, while Morgan, Fred and Sisis talked happily, and after talking for a while, the three of them left together.
After leaving Fred, Saisis smiled and said, "With all due respect, Mr. Gao, in New York, most people are Yankee fans, why don't you try to get your friends to join the Yankees?" I'd love to introduce you to the New York Yankees boss, oh, not really need me, right? ”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Gao didn't panic, his friend is indeed a fan of the Mets, if he wants to go to the Yankees, it's simple." ”
Saisis said with a regretful face: "Actually, I am indeed a Yankee fan, Gao, if your friend is really a genius, I still recommend him to the Yankees, the New York Yankees, what a great team, you should recommend the Yankees to your friends, at least go to a trial or something, maybe he will change his mind." ”
Gao Yang was said to be moved, he didn't think that Frye would change his mind, but he felt that why not let Frye have more opportunities for practical training, in case the result of the trial in the Metropolis was not good, there would be more opportunities, if the result of Frye's trial was very good, it would be even better, in the end, if both teams wanted it and rushed to ask for it, then the treatment that Frye could get would definitely be different.
Gao Yang immediately said: "If the New York Yankees' trial is easy to arrange, then of course, let him go to the New York Yankees to try, but, is it convenient?" ”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders, but Saisis chuckled: "It's convenient, it's very convenient, it's okay at any time, it's much more convenient than going to the Mets for trials, I'll arrange it for you, who made me a fan of the New York Yankees." ”
The relationship between Sisis and Morgan is very good, and the two of them are not so polite when they speak, Morgan smiled: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you." ”
Sisis left happily, and at this time, the big people who should have arrived had already arrived, and Morgan whispered to Gao Yang: "Let's go, next, it's time for you to get to know the people well." ”
After Morgan looked at it, he walked with Gao Yang to a middle-aged man surrounded by four or five people, and after walking into the crowd, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "Hey, Morgan, Gao, where have you been, I haven't seen you." ”
Morgan also laughed and said, "I just said a few words to my friend. ”
Talking to Morgan was Jonathan, a veteran senator representing New York State.
Gao Yang knew why Morgan said that Jonathan would be very kind to him, he obviously hadn't met Jonathan, and even the name he just heard tonight, but Jonathan was directly greeting him and Morgan.
After saying hello, Jonathan immediately said with a look of surprise to Gao Yang: "Hi, Gao, I didn't expect you to come tonight, it's really an unexpected surprise to see you here, don't be in a hurry to leave this time?" ”
If it is a very polite and polite greeting, it is too common at a cocktail party, and everyone is this face, and they are very enthusiastic to call them by their names, unless the relationship is good enough to a certain extent.
Jonathan's appearance is not only friendly to Gao Yang, from his address and attitude towards Gao Yang, everyone feels that he and Gao Yang are very familiar and have a good relationship, although Jonathan is also the first time to meet Gao Yang, so this is not Morgan's basic plate to show friendship to Gao Yang, but to build momentum for Gao Yang.
Gao Yang secretly sighed in his heart, Morgan was really sparing no effort to praise him.
Jonathan had already made it clear that he wanted to build momentum for him, and of course Gao Yang knew how to do it, so he raised his glass and did not greet each other like a first-time meeting, but said directly: "I won't leave in a hurry this time." ”
Jonathan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's go play golf when we have time, oh, let me introduce you, this is Morgan. Reeves, this is Gao Yang, everyone get to know each other. ”
Since it is necessary to build momentum, it is certainly not in the circle that Morgan is particularly familiar with, or it is not in Morgan's particularly stable allies to build momentum for Gao Yang, if so, it should be Morgan himself who is building momentum.
Now Gao Yang can be sure of one thing, and that is that Morgan and Jonathan are special allies, and their relationship is good enough for Jonathan to build momentum for Gao Yang.
After chatting together and introducing each other, Gao Yang met a few more big people.
There are Morgan and Jonathan to build momentum for Gao Yang, the effect is definitely not ordinary, one night, a large stack of business cards collected, and after a night of talking and laughing, Gao Yang's face is sour.
Finally, the drinking party was over, Gao Yang and Morgan got into the same car and left, and when the car finally started, Gao Yang couldn't help but say: "Morgan, does it make sense to start building momentum for me so early?" Wouldn't it be too early? ”
Morgan also looked tired after sitting back in the car, but after hearing Gao Yang's question, Morgan smiled slightly and said: "I met the right opportunity for you to feel it, so this is just a small scene for you to practice, most of the people you meet today are people in the financial industry, and you haven't seen them yet."
