When Bao Feiyang was talking with Tang Zhenshan and Tang Yongwen, Tang Tian'er, Tang Mi'er and Meng Shuang were also sitting next to them, thinking that everyone was just exchanging their views on the current economic situation, but they didn't expect the conversation to be so deep.
Although Meng Shuang and Tang Tian'er have already participated in the work, they are both technical, and they can't say that they don't know anything about economics and finance, but they don't know much, and Tang Mi'er knows even less.
They quickly stepped aside and talked about topics of interest to women, only from time to time they would look over and prick up their ears to see if they had changed the subject and replaced it with something they could understand.
Every time they were disappointed.
Tang Mi'er pursed her lips: "Sister Meng, you said that the grade of package red is Bao Feiyangming, is it true?" Why do I think he doesn't look like the Ming family at all, you see how enthusiastically he talks to my grandfather and third uncle, isn't he in business and finance? ”
Meng Shuang is of course full of confidence in her boyfriend, and she will not be surprised that Bao Feiyang will do anything, although it makes her feel weird that Bao Feiyang can talk to two Mexican business elites about Mexico's economic situation.
Tang Tian'er also has a lot of contact with Bao Feiyang, and knows that this person is indeed unbelievable sometimes, for example, he can also speak Spanish, as a small bureaucrat, he can also wrap products like red at the bright level, but it is not surprising that he understands finance and economics, Bao Feiyang is a small bureaucrat, and it is not surprising to study these.
Tang Tian'er joked with a smile: "Bao Feiyang is an official, and those who are officials and those who are engaged in finance and business are all liars, of course they have to talk about." ”
Meng Shuang couldn't help but laugh "poof": "Are you so buried in your grandfather and uncle?" ”
At this time, Tang Tian'er's mobile phone suddenly rang. Tang Tian'er answered the phone and said in surprise: "Mr. Cullen? Hello! ”
After a while, Tang Tian'er hung up the phone and said with a surprised face: "Hey, Aberf. Cullen went so far as to invite us to his birthday party tonight. Could it be that the sun rises in the west today? ”
Aberf. Cullen is a representative of the younger generation of San Francisco's traditional plutocracy, the Cullen family, which has a strong influence in San Francisco's financial district, directly sues a hedge fund, and many of the family hold key positions in banks, securities firms, fund houses, accounting firms and law firms.
The Tang family chose San Francisco as their first stop to open up the rice market, and the Chinese forces in Chinatown gave them a lot of help, in order to avoid competition between Chinese. The Tang family consciously avoided the dominant areas of the local Chinese, and if they wanted to gain a foothold in San Francisco, they would inevitably have to come into contact with forces like the Cullen family.
However, the progress of the Tang family in this regard has not been very smooth, and even the beautiful Tang Tian'er sisters are rarely able to participate in birthday pies of this specification.
Although Tang Mier is simple. But he was not stupid, and immediately pouted and said, "Hmph, these barbarians must be Michael. Honeycote's relationship with that bastard tray. ”
Tang Tian'er's dark eyes rolled, and she hurriedly got up and walked over to tell the old man Tang Zhenshan the news, and Tang Zhenshan was slightly stunned when he heard it: "Hehe, old Honeycott's handwriting is not small." Do you think he wants to sell well, or is it a Hongmen feast? ”
Tang Yongwen had the most opportunities to contact the Kulun family, and he thought about it: "I'm afraid that the people who come are not good, and the good ones are not coming!" ”
After Bao Feiyang heard about the power of the Kulun family, he also nodded and said: "It may persuade peace, this is a gesture of goodwill, and at the same time, it will also exert pressure, in essence, it is still a Hongmen banquet, but this is also our opportunity." ”
Tang Zhenshan smiled heartily and nodded, then turned around and asked Tang Tian'er, "Aberf only let you go with Mi'er?" ”
Tang Tian'er said: "He also said that we can bring one or two partners each. ”
"Look, this is giving us the opportunity to create a zào!" Tang Zhenshan looked at Bao Feiyang with a smile: "Feiyang, are you interested in going and seeing?" Only the words of the two sisters. I'm a little reassured. ”
Bao Feiyang said with a smile: "Of course, I can't ask for it, I also just have the opportunity to experience the rice people's pai duì culture, or such a high-end pai duì." ”
"Humph!" Tang Mi'er wrinkled her nose: "Grandpa, you bully people, what's wrong with me and my sister, I don't know who will take care of who when the time comes!" ”
Bao Feiyang, Tang Zhenshan, and Tang Yongwen looked at each other and smiled. Tang Zhenshan said: "Feiyang, then please you, your play is good, and our side will have a greater chance of success!" ”
Bao Feiyang said: "No problem, I'll do my best." ”
Tang Tian'er couldn't help but look at Bao Feiyang and the others in a strange way: "Grandpa, what dumb riddles are you playing, what are you acting or not acting, are you going to deal with Michael. Honeycott, what do we need to do? ”
Bao Feiyang shook his head: "No need, what you think in your hearts, you can do it when the time comes." ”
"Yes, you will perform in your true colors." Tang Zhenshan laughed.
Tang Tian'er and Tang Mi'er were confused, and Tang Mi'er muttered dissatisfiedly: "I don't know what ** soup I poured into my grandfather and third uncle, the gods are chattering, hum!" ”
Tang Tian'er also wanted to know what Bao Feiyang had said to Tang Zhenshan and Tang Yongwen, it seemed that they had already discussed dealing with the Honeycot family and their desire to forcibly acquire Interceraminetbsp; But Tang Zhenshan made it clear that he didn't want them to know that Tang Tian'er was usually quite eccentric, but at this time she knew the severity, so she hurriedly stopped Tang Tian'er and didn't let her ask more.
*************************************************
Aberf. Cullen is 27 years old, and although he prides himself on being talented, he has not yet held a very important position in the family, and is currently only working as a business manager in a securities company in which the family owns shares, and has become a well-known securities manager in the San Francisco financial district by virtue of his ability and connections.
Aberf. Cullen's birthday party duì is more traditional, not the kind of noisy social duì, but a more casual cocktail party. It's between 5 and 7 p.m., but you can come early or late, and there are a lot of friends who come to visit in the afternoon with gifts. Sit for a while and leave, only a very important person will attend the cocktail party.
Aberf. Cullen didn't like Michael, who had a bad reputation in the Los Angeles community and now had a bad career in San Francisco. Honeycott, but the old Honeycote is very capable, and the upward momentum of Tasker oil is also very strong, and the old Honeycote wants to reach out. It was indispensable to enlist financial support, so Aberf would be willing to sell them a face, and the elder Honeycot did promise a big business.
And, to be honest, he was also a little interested in Honeycott Sr.'s plans, and he was also very beautiful about the sisters from Mexico. Barely eligible to appear.
Bao Feiyang and Meng Shuang attended Aberf's birthday party as friends of Tang Tian'er's sisters, and they were stopped at the door, because Aberfu only asked people to send an invitation, although it was written on Tang Tian'er and Tang Mi'er sisters, the security guard thought that an invitation was a person. Bring at most one buddy, and in the end, it was Honeycott Jr. who stepped in, and the security guard agreed to let them in.
"The rules of the Cullen family are a little more, that is, I am more familiar with them, otherwise, they will not let you in unless it is for Aberf himself." Honeycote Jr. is alone today. There is no sexy and hot female companion yesterday by his side, he is also polite and gentlemanly, and he is simply two people from yesterday.
Bao Feiyang smiled: "Mr. Honeycott is familiar with this place?" Then I would like to ask a question, if my girlfriend and I were not Chinese, I'm afraid those security guards wouldn't have been so demanding just now, right? ”
Although the Cullen family has a lot of rules, an open cocktail party like today's one does not impose too many restrictions on guests, as long as you have an invitation in your hand, even if you bring additional companions, you can usually be allowed in. After all, only very close people will receive invitations.
But the security guards just now were obviously a bit strict, either he had already colluded with Honeycot, or he was discriminating against the Chinese.
In a place like San Francisco, where the Chinese population accounts for more than 30 percent, there is actually a lot of discrimination against Chinese people, especially old families like Cullen. Ordinary whites look down on them, let alone ethnic minorities such as Chinese.
Little Honeycote was a little embarrassed: "Haha, Mr. Bao is really joking, you misunderstood, there are so many rules in the Cullen family, you will know it when you are familiar with it." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Honeycot is really powerful, so soon he even knows what my surname is?" Bao Feiyang came today to provoke Honeycott: "Then there are some things that Mr. Honeycott won't have forgotten, right?" ”
Little Honeycote felt very aggrieved in his heart, and almost couldn't help but race, but thinking of today's plan, he had to hold back his anger and said: "Mr. Bao, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, I have seriously reflected on it, I also went to the church this morning to confess to God, I think God has forgiven me, I hope Mr. Bao and several ladies can also forgive me for my mistakes." ”
Bao Feiyang smiled, and did not say anything about Honeycott Jr.'s words, it involves religious beliefs, it is easy to make a mistake if he talks too much, he doesn't want to be caught by Honeycot Jr. in turn.
Little Honeycote was very depressed, he did get the registration information of Bao Feiyang and Meng Shuang through the relationship of the Guò Hotel, and then learned about the information of the two people through the information of other channels in Guò. Because of the visa, this information will be registered in detail, which makes him know that Bao Feiyang is a grassroots bureaucrat in Huaxiaguo, Meng Shuang is the technical director of a ceramic company in Da 6, and in Bao Feiyang's family relationship, his sister is the owner of this ceramic company, and he also has an uncle who is a high-ranking official in Huaxiaguo, equivalent to the mayor of Los Angeles.
Due to the urgency of time, Honeycot Jr. has not been able to get more information, from the visa information, the scale of Fangxia ceramics is not large, only a registered capital of 100 million, the volume is far from cooperating with Internetterceramic, the establishment of a joint venture company is this Fangxia ceramics, they have mastered a world-leading ceramic technology grade wrapping red, the company's exhibition momentum is very strong.
The Tang family invited Chinese ceramic merchants to come over at this time, and I am afraid that the intention is not simple.
"Mr. Cullen, these are the Angela and Angel sisters, and their Huaxia friends." Honeycourt Jr. led Bao Feiyang and the others to Aberf. In front of Cullen, he introduced with a smile. This guy is also worthy of being crawling out in the social field, and his expression control is very comfortable.
Compared to Honeycot Jr., Aberf. Kulun's body naturally exuded an elegant, noble and confident temperament, his eyes turned slightly on Tang Tian'er sisters and Meng Shuang's bodies, and he couldn't help but light up: "Hello, thank you for coming to my birthday party, the three ladies are really beautiful, I hope you can stay young forever." And this gentleman, thank you too. ”
According to etiquette, Tang Tian'er and Tang Mi'er hurriedly sent a temporary birthday gift, and Bao Feiyang also selected a Buddhist bead bracelet carved from southern red agate from the gifts brought to the United States to give away.
"Does Mr. Bao believe in Buddhism?" Cullen picked up the bracelet familiarly, turned it around twice on his hand, and asked with a smile.
Bao Feiyang smiled: "Believe it." ”
Cullen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Believe it?" Isn't faith supposed to be devoted wholeheartedly? ”
Bao Feiyang shook his head: "That's why I will say that I believe a little, our Chinese people's beliefs are different from you Westerners, we believe in Buddhism, not that Buddha is omnipotent, we believe in Buddha's teachings and Zen principles, and at the same time we also believe in Confucian morality and ethics, and will not reject other correct things." ”
"Then it can't be considered faith, it's just a cognitive position." Cullen smiled and put the bracelet on the tray in the hand of the waiter next to him, and naturally someone had collected the gifts.
Bao Feiyang said: "It can also be said that for ordinary people, that is cognition, and there are not many people who have really risen to faith. ”
"Mr. Bao is very honest!" Kulun reached out and took a glass of wine from the side and handed it to Meng Shuang, he seemed to be very interested in talking to Bao Feiyang, and at the same time, he would take care of other people with his eyes and movements, and would not make anyone feel left out.
After chatting a few words, Cullen said hello and went to entertain other guests, little Honeycott also went to other places, the Tang family has not been in San Francisco for a long time, and most of them are Westerners, and the Tang Tianer sisters have no acquaintances, because they are worried about things, they are not in the mood to communicate with other people.
"Hey, this Aberf. Cullen wouldn't really just invite us to come and sit down, would he? Tang Mi'er pouted and said.
Tang Tian'er's expression was also a little restless, Bao Feiyang couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder Tang Zhenshan let himself follow, and he didn't tell them a specific plan, although Tang Tian'er was a little more mature than Tang Mi'er, but he wasn't much more mature. Essentially, the two sisters are still too tender, and if they really let them come by themselves, they might really be sold.
