Volume 3 Chapter 98 No One in the World Knows the King?
On the southern outskirts of Lisbon, on a private estate on the banks of the River Tagus. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is holding a lavish wedding.
Fernando's wedding was supposed to take place six months earlier. It was only when the wedding date was approaching that the bride-to-be's mother died of illness and had to postpone the wedding.
Today's wedding has a lot of guests, most of them are Portuguese celebrities, and many of them are from other European countries to attend the wedding.
He, Chen Bo, and Ali came from Asia, and Raimondo and his wife came from Brazil. In addition, Li Sheng also saw a few guests who were obviously Ah San. As for whether there are any other people from other parts of the world, Li Sheng is not very clear.
This wedding is considered to be the most important part, the couple has won the vows, has exchanged rings, and kissed in public. Now preparing to cut the wedding cake.
Li Sheng and Chen Bo left the crowd a little with their female companions. Chen Bo whispered, "I'll go socialize." Are you going or not?"
He knew that Li Sheng had some awkwardness in his personality before he asked him.
Unexpectedly, Li Sheng said: "I'll also go to someone to talk to." ”
Chen Bo plans to do a good job in trade, so he wants to accumulate more contacts in Europe, as long as it is the senior management of the company here, it is his goal. Li Sheng, on the other hand, has specific goals.
When Chen Bo heard him say this, he smiled and said, "I'll go first." He said and left with Mo Lan.
At this time, the newlyweds had already cut the first cut on the cake together, and after the applause, the surrounding guests began to disperse one after another, each going to socialize.
Li Sheng took Tia's hand and walked over to several elderly people. But they were stopped after a few steps. The person who stopped them was not a bodyguard or something, but also a guest of Fernando, who smiled and held up his wine glass and said, "I beg your pardon, Mr. Lee." ”
Li Sheng looked at this blue-eyed blonde handsome man, clinked a glass with him in his hand and said, "Hello." Excuse me, who are you?" Although the man spoke Portuguese, as far as he knew, there were very few blonde haired people in the Portuguese. This should be a guest from another country.
"I'm from Germany. My name is Clark Gable. The blonde youth still smiled. "Hello Miss Gilolo. Today you are chasing beautiful girls besides the bride. ”
Tia's face flushed, and she even leaned closer to Li Sheng: "Hello Mr. Gable!"
Li Sheng gave her a reassuring smile before she looked up again and said to Gable, "Hello, Mr. Gable." He shook hands with the other man. "Nice to meet you. ”
"It is an honor to meet Mr. Lee. When it comes to farming, Mr. Lee is certainly the most successful person in the world. ”
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you." Mr. Gable is also in agriculture, or is he interested in agriculture?"
"In fact, I have a winery in Germany that mainly produces ice wine. ”
The so-called ice wine is actually a white wine made by a special process. Germany is the origin of ice wine, but because of the climate, the real famous ice wine brand is in Canada.
In Germany, brewing ice wine is actually a gamble. If the weather is not right, there is no way to make wine from the grapes of that year. It is said that even if God gives face, one acre of vineyard can only make no more than 5,000 bottles of ice wine. So the price of the famous brand of ice wine is quite high. And German icewine is the highest of its kind.
Li Sheng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, my farm also has a vineyard, but it is still just the first season of grapes, and I heard from the winemaker that the quality is not very good. ”
Gable seemed to know about the Silent Farm. He smiled and said, "The vineyards of Silent Farm are more than 70,000 acres. I think it's the largest single vineyard in the world. I heard Fernando say that your vines should be planted from cuttings that are more than 100 years old. I think it must have been a very good grape. ”
The vineyards in Silent Farm were transplanted from a wild vineyard in the space.
What kind of breed Li Sheng is not clear. However, those wild grapes, although they have seeds, are very sweet, which means that the sugar content is quite high. Moreover, the grapes can survive in a tropical and rainy climate, so he will want to make a vineyard on the farm. As for what will happen in winemaking, he doesn't know.
It's just that he wants to know more, what is this Gable who suddenly appeared trying to say?
"Silent Farms produces all of its produce and has a very good reputation in the world. I guess wine will be no exception. Gable said with a laugh. "In fact, running an ice wine business is just one of my businesses. I am now mainly a wine agent in Europe. ”
Li Sheng probably understood the purpose of his and his own entertainment. He laughed and said, "I see. If the wines of Silent Farm can be recognized by the market in the future, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate. ”
"That's my pleasure. Gable smiled the most genuinely he had ever met. "I am looking forward to working with Mr. Lee. I won't bother Mr. Li. Have a nice day!"
Li Sheng touched his glass with him again, took a sip of champagne, and then said with a smile: "I wish you a pleasant too!"
After the two separated, Li Sheng continued to walk over like his goal.
As a result, it was only about forty meters away, and he had to entertain three or four more people. finally entertained a few people, but before he took a few steps, he was stopped by another person. This time it was a beautiful brunette wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress, a man who looked a little similar to Fernando. He said to Li Sheng: "Hello Mr. Li, thank you for coming to Fernando's wedding. ”
This man was introduced to Li Sheng by Fernando just now. It was Fernando's younger brother, Patricio de Pelos.
"Fernando is my friend and an important partner for me. Of course I'm going to attend his wedding. Li Sheng smiled and clinked glasses with him.
Well, Fernando isn't actually last name Fernando, that's his name.
"Haha, you're right. Fernando often mentions you and says that you are an amazing person. Patricio said with a smile. "Of course, I also learned a few things about you from other friends. For example, the things that disgraced Wall Street. ”
Li Sheng also laughed and said, "That's just luck." Speculative markets make or break the difference between success and failure. If it weren't for my luck, maybe I'd already be selling my farm around right now. ”
"Luck is also a form of strength. Patricio didn't seem to be trying to stop Li Sheng. "I have a few friends who have long wanted to know a legendary person like Mr. Li, and I don't know if I have the honor to introduce them to you. ”
Li Sheng hesitated for a moment, today is Fernando's wedding, and Patricio is Fernando's younger brother, and Fernando introduced him to him just now. It shows that the relationship between these two brothers will not be bad. He was supposed to give this face. It's just that he wants to talk to someone right now.
Perhaps seeing Li Sheng's hesitation, Patricio said very gentlemanly: "If Mr. Li is inconvenient, I hope to have this opportunity next time." ”
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Actually, I want to get to know Mr. Carvalho." ”
Patricio was stunned for a moment, turned around and took a look, and the direction was exactly the direction of the old men Li Sheng was looking for. He turned around and said, "Mr. Lee is also interested in football?"
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Silent Farm is now preparing to set up a football school. ”
Patricio figured it out a little bit and said: "Actually, Fernando and I are also fans of Atletico Portugal. Mr. Carvalho and my father were friends. Maybe I can introduce it to you. ”
Li Sheng is also worried that his rash past will make people abrupt, and now it is of course best to have Patricio to introduce him. He laughed and said, "Of course it has to be." ”
They went together. Patricio smiled and joined the old men in the circle: "Hello, Mr. da Silva, hello, Mr. Correa, hello Mr. Coelho. Uncle Bruno, what are you talking about, and can we join in?"
These are all about sixty years old, and when Carvalho Sr. saw that it was Patricio, he smiled and said, "Patricio and Lila, why are you interested in joining us old guys on the topic?"
Li Sheng: A few months ago, maybe not many people knew each other. But now it's completely different. The title of "the richest man in the world" is enough to make many people pay attention to such an upstart who suddenly appeared. Now the world is the world of money. Even in Europe, there is no such thing as an old aristocracy. In the financial revolution of the eighteenth century, the old aristocracy had long since died out. Rich people always represent power. Of course, this power is not just about looking at money.
The richest man in the world is indeed a very eye-catching title. Don't talk about that imperial family. After two world wars, the family had long since begun to fall apart. Of course, even if Li Sheng has the title of the richest man, in the eyes of the world, his power may not be comparable to that of Bill Gai who was pressed down by him on the wealth list. Because Bill Gai's power lies in the fact that Microsoft, which he controls, controls most of the world's computers. That's power. In fact, many of them will be higher than Li Sheng on the power list.
What power does Li Sheng have? At least not yet. He can't even attend the World Economic Forum right now.
It's just that no one dares to underestimate him. Now Li Sheng is not yet 30 years old, and he is the youngest richest man in history.
Westerners may not understand what the Chinese say about bullying young people and poor people, but they know that they should not underestimate rich young people. Especially the ones that are very rich. Although Li Sheng is a nouveau riche. But his roots are industrial, and his ability to resist risks far exceeds those who have become the richest man in the stock market. And his Silent Farm is only a private farm. But the profitability of this farm is even higher than that of most multinational groups ranked within the world's top 500.
This profitability is likely to translate into a larger industry and gain more power.
So the current Li Sheng can't be low-key even if he wants to. If you can't pretend to enter a hotel, you can make the doorman dare to stop the B who is not allowed to enter. (To be continued.) )
