Chapter 767: Boring Banquet
There is a sentence that Fang Xu said correctly.
If it weren't for the invitation sent by the Lin family, he would never have asked to participate in this kind of banquet by himself, even if it was the heir of the Lin family, but did this have anything to do with Fang Xu? Doesn't seem to be.
So he himself would never come to participate for no reason.
The most important thing is because of this kind of banquet, it is for many people to come for interests, for interpersonal relationships, although there are four major families in the capital, generally known as the Big Four, and several small families, plus each province has its own wealthy family, hundreds of families of different sizes up and down the country, some are dependent on each other, the small ones are attached to the big ones, the big ones are attached to the capital, and some are slightly independent.
There are many independent families, accounting for almost half, and these noble families are still good in various provinces, but they are rarely able to get big resources, and at most one vice governor level is already considered to be the top of the sky.
It's not that they don't want to be attached to the big family, but they don't have this channel, or rather, they don't have this opportunity.
So counting it, this time the so-called charity meeting of the Lin family, the new patriarch in order, is also an opportunity for many people, large and small independent families have also sent very important people in the family to participate, and brought a lot of gifts, just like the ancient foreign officials entered Beijing, in addition to participating in such a banquet, it is more about looking for opportunities to get involved with the big family and even the big four in the capital.
Once it is launched, let alone with the Big Four, even if it is with the affiliated families of the Big Four, such as the Jiang family and the Pan family, then in the future, it will definitely get more and greater support and benefits.
These things have nothing to do with Fang Xu, as he himself said, he doesn't mix in China, he doesn't need to get closer to these relationships, and his tone is related to these families, but it is better to have a relationship with some foreign consortium families, or very small families.
In Eastern Europe, North America, Fang Xu is relatively well-connected, at least with some families have a good relationship, the biggest relationship is the Braun family, the giant family of Lao Mei, just because of some personal matters, when establishing Lemuria, Fang Xu did not go to the Braun family for help, but it is undeniable that their relationship is good.
The most important thing is, of course, that the family model is different from that of foreign countries, compared to the domestic model, Fang Xu still likes the foreign model, the favor belongs to the favor, the business belongs to the business, even if it is between father and son, mother and daughter, as long as it talks about the interests and business of the family, it is definitely one yard to one yard.
Unlike in China, the vast majority of parents live for their children, and it can't be said that this is not good, but this is too doting, and it will be illuminated into a lot of negative things.
A small family, a boy who has just grown up, wants to go out, yes, enlightened parents may support you, but you want money, that's not okay, unless you use something as collateral, I can do without your interest, or, doting parents can give you a sum of money, let you go to the dream of a fight, but if you fail, then sorry, there is no second chance, hurry back to work for the family business to pay off the debt, when the debt is paid off, you can still continue to choose to go out.
So in comparison, Fang Xu really doesn't need to win over domestic relationships, and he doesn't like to win over domestic relationships very much, there are too many favors, and there are too many things kidnapped by morality, and Fang Xu can't bear it.
※In such a banquet, Fang Xu was like an outsider, taking the champagne brought by the black-clothed waiter, Fang Xu and the three girls were temporarily separated, this place is relatively large, and the three of them have never been here, I want to go around and take a look, Fang Xu didn't have the heart to run around, so he simply found a table and served some food, accompanied only by Yoshioka Hexiang.
When they separated, Fang Xu explained to the third daughter, if there was something to call him, the place was too big, although they all belonged to the 'upper class', and generally nothing would happen, but just in case, and Fang Xu also hoped that something would happen, and at that time, he would be able to use the topic to play.
Fang Xu is also a master who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, but he won't deliberately look for trouble, but when something happens, it will definitely be able to expand infinitely, anyway, this is not a banquet held by him, so the Lin family will invite him out if he has the ability.
"Hexiang, don't stand, sit, chat."
Fang Xu pointed to the long table not far away, on which were placed all kinds of cold dishes: "Bring something over and eat, and drink some champagne by the way." ”
"Boss, I'm a bodyguard, I can't drink." Yoshioka Hexiang didn't want to refute Fang Xu's face, but she didn't dare to be careless, so she could only explain in a low voice.
"It's okay, there are masters around here to protect you, I don't need you, and you're too dazzling to stand." Fang Xu glanced at it a few times, Yoshioka Hexiang's strength was not very strong, she might not be able to feel it, plus there were many people around, it was easy to distract her.
But Fang Xu could feel that when he came in just now, he hadn't been there, and when the second master of the Lin family left, two masters appeared around, saying that it was nice, maybe it was to protect Fang Xu, to protect the order of the present, to put it mildly, it was to monitor Fang Xu, afraid that Fang Xu would cause trouble.
Yoshioka Hexiang looked around and didn't find any masters, but she chose to believe Fang Xu's words, and didn't go to get anything to eat, just took a glass of champagne and sat next to Fang Xu.
※At the same time, on the second floor of this hall, there are booths above, there are not many people, I don't want to be so noisy below, it is estimated that people with status can go up, those independent families from outside, if they are not invited, they should not be able to go up to the second floor.
This is also the recognition of identity, but also the difference in senses, on the second floor is completely able to overlook the hundreds of square meters of column-free hall, you can see everyone's every move, as if it is a superior.
At this time, in a booth, several young men and women were talking and laughing, but it could be seen that they did not have too excited expressions and smiles, because they did not like to participate in such a banquet.
First, this kind of banquet is too big, there are not many young and beautiful women, and there are not too many handsome boys, most of them are middle-aged men, and the scale of this banquet is too formal, unlike ordinary charity dinners, most people bring lovers, although the lover is not their own, but at least they can appreciate it, and it is only not their own for the time being, maybe it will be in the future, it is better than the original match who is old and decrepit now, and is dressed up one by one to show off the flowers.
Of course, the main thing is that big stars and models can't participate in such a banquet, because they don't have this grade, this time it's a formal banquet in high society, it's very boring, and young people definitely don't like it.
