Chapter 48: A Little Surprise
It stands to reason that a rich second generation of his age, even if he is the son of a chaebol group, if he wants to appear on such a mid-year banquet stage, I am afraid that some people will feel unconvinced.
Principal Wang, who was sitting at the round table, looked at Lu Chuan with a smile, and then talked to Liu Shi, the female star next to him, and the two smiled and didn't know what they were talking about. Actor Lin Xin kept indifferently watching Lu Chuan walk to the front of the stage step by step, he saw a faint smile on the corner of Lu Chuan's mouth, and Lu Chuan showed no stage fright for the stage full of celebrities.
Fang Yuxuan was inexplicably relieved and faintly looking forward to Lu Chuan's self-confidence, she gently clenched her fist and cheered for him in her heart, "Lu Chuan, come on!" Don't make a mistake! ”
The host, Chen Lei, handed the microphone to Lu Chuan in person, and then smiled and signaled to him that he could start his speech.
Lu Chuan took the microphone with his left hand, and then after coughing lightly, he said with a faint smile in front of all the guests, "Thank you for coming to this mid-year banquet in China held by my Hilton Hotel." Mr. Ray Marshall, President of Asia Pacific, has introduced many plans for the future development of Hilton hotels. So here, I don't need to talk about it again. ”
Lu Chuan's beautiful speech was just halfway through, and then suddenly came to an abrupt end. It's not that there's a problem with the microphone, or it's because he's nervous and suddenly out of words. It's because ...... A special surprise from the United States is about to be staged.
The major shareholders of the hotel in the audience suddenly stopped talking when they saw Lu Chuan halfway through his speech, so some shareholders who were more impatient turned their heads and talked softly.
"Huh? This young man named Lu Chuan spoke quite well just now, why did he suddenly stop talking in the middle of his speech? What's going on? Could it be because he was suddenly nervous that he couldn't remember the lines at once? ”
"I don't know what's going on, what I said earlier, why didn't I speak all of a sudden, could it be that there was a problem with the audio and microphone? But it shouldn't be possible, it won't be so coincidental, and there was no problem just now. ”
"Since I don't know what the situation is, why don't you wait and see! I hope that this young man named Lu Chuan will not lose the face of our Hilton Hotel, the shareholder. There are so many celebrities in society watching, if he makes a fool of himself on stage, then we will be affected by the pond fish! ”
The shareholders' concerns are understandable, not because they deliberately target Lu Chuan, but because Lu Chuan represents the image of Hilton Hotels' shareholders.
Fang Yuxuan folded her hands in the audience, silently looking at Lu Chuan, sincerely hoping that he would not make any mistakes.
Pei Ruotong next to him sat under the stage, staring at Lu Chuan, Qin Hua and Fan Tianyi were the same, I wanted to wonder how Lu Chuan would deal with the speech next?
Principal Wang, who was sitting at the round table next to him, wore a black bow tie around his neck, and looked up at Lu Chuan. The actors Liu Shi and Lin Xin around him also looked at Lu Chuan, wondering why he stopped abruptly halfway through his words.
Facing the gaze of all the guests, Lu Chuan kept a faint smile and held the microphone, and then he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers gently, only to see that the originally gorgeously lit stage instantly became dim!
Seeing such a change, the audience suddenly shouted! Many guests who didn't know the truth raised their necks slightly, wanting to see what kind of program Lu Chuan had prepared on stage? Do you want to make such a big noise?
"What's going on? Why did the lights suddenly dim? It can't be a problem with the lighting, right? ”
Just as a guest in the audience was asking like this, he saw the white curtain on the left side of the stage, which was suddenly slowly pulled down.
When the white curtain was completely unfolded, domestic and foreign signals were connected, and only the colorful projector light pillar was seen, which was suddenly reflected on the huge square curtain!
Suddenly! There are three foreigners in the picture, among whom is a middle-aged man, with a thin face, but he looks in good spirits. The man on the left has a slightly fat figure, and the woman on the right has a high nose and pale blue eyes.
The guests in the audience were a little unclear about the current situation, because the three foreigners on the curtain were all wearing red Tang costumes and bowler hats at this moment.
"That is..."
"Who is that? Hilton Global Executive Chris? Mr. Chris!? ”
A major shareholder in the audience couldn't help but come out, attracting a group of guests around him, who opened their eyes and looked at the curtain again!
"Yes! It's Chris, the CEO of the hotel's global division! The foreigners next to him are Kelly Martin, Vice President of the Global Region, and Jonah Charles, Vice President of the Global Region! These three people are so excited, wearing our Tang costumes? You must know that all the previous annual meetings of the hotel have never been like this! ”
Listening to the whispered discussion of a group of shareholders, Fang Yuxuan in the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a knowing smile.
Pei Ruotong, Qin Hua, and Fan Tianyi, who were sitting next to her, looked at the three foreigners who appeared on the screen, and then looked at Lu Chuan on the stage, standing in the dim light. The executive president and vice president of Hilton Hotels Worldwide, the three of them wore Tang costumes and appeared on the screen, which can be imagined how much importance the three of them attach to this banquet in China!
"President, I heard that your Wanda Hotel and Hilton Hotel are carrying out cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region? The CEO of the global region dressed like this shows that they attach great importance to the Chinese market. Do you think there will be a Wanda Hotel factor in it? Liu Shi, the female star next to her, curled her red lips and said to Wang Cong.
Principal Wang smiled and did not answer, Wanda Hotel is indeed ranked in China. However, if you look at the international stage, its influence and popularity are far inferior to those of Hilton Hotels Group. Therefore, because of Wanda, President Wang would not have this title, even if he had a flamboyant personality.
"As far as I know, Hilton's main revenue is concentrated in Europe and the United States, and with China's status as the headquarters, there is no reason for the three presidents to do this. In particular, he also wears Tang costumes and makes video calls. Principal Wang said lightly. Based on his knowledge of Hilton, the Chinese market is not their mainstream market, so he was a little surprised by the picture in front of him.
Everyone's slight surprise continued, Lu Chuan on the stage just looked at it with a faint smile, thinking about his own country in his previous life, although it was ordered to be the second largest economy in the world, but many industry statuses and industry discourse rights are far from this second largest economy. Lu Chuan on the stage, at this time, seems to have found that his mission in this world, in addition to buying the world back to the past, may build the countries of this world into a world power that no one can match, and it can be regarded as the completion of the Chinese dream in the hearts of many people in the previous life?
