As soon as night fell, Senbon Sakurako came to pick up Zhulan.
Zhu Lan only took Kong Yan to the banquet alone.
The Xibei Hall is not very far from here.
It's a resort in itself, with more than 300 villas for the wealthy, plenty of leisure centres and of course a few high-end retreats.
Xibei Hall is a banquet hall affiliated to the club, which hosts many banquets at the level of the rich every year.
A large banquet will be held here today, Ji Ruxiang's gift will be held the day after tomorrow, 80% of the people on the list have arrived, the Japanese royal family will naturally not let go of the opportunity to win over everyone, these days large and small banquets are being held, most people will participate, this is a good opportunity to expand contacts, of course, some large consortia and the like, will not participate.
When I came to Xibei Hall, many people had gathered together to communicate.
When Zhu Lan arrived, many people's eyes lit up and greeted them with a smile.
You know, many people are coming for Zhulan.
Zhulan is here now, which really surprises many people, but more of them are overjoyed.
"Mr. Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Mr. Zhu, when we meet for the first time, I am the president of the Subaru Group."
"Mr. Zhu, I thought you would arrive tomorrow!"
Whether they know or don't know Zhu Lan, they all come forward to say hello.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Be quiet, there are so many of you, what can I say! ”
Zhu Lan had to bite the bullet and let everyone calm down.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Everyone is a civilized person, so it's better to pay attention! ”
A majestic voice came, and everyone paused, smiled at each other, and moved out of the way.
A middle-aged man walked over.
smiled at Zhu Lan, "It's all gone!" What kind of words are these, the master didn't speak today! You'd better come less! ”
Although majestic, but it was said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhu. Meet for the first time! ”
"Count Albert, this is my pleasure!" Zhu Lan made a Western standard aristocratic greeting and smiled at the middle-aged man in front of him. The British Inheritance Title of the Green family, three hundred years ago, Green's ancestor Green Valentine received the duke title that should be granted by the royal family, for hundreds of years. The Green family has always been the right-hand man of the royal family.
After hundreds of years. The title is no longer the duke, but an earl.
But even so, Count Albert is still the highest number of knights in the world, and in modern times, there is no such thing as a duke, and the count is already the largest.
There are several so-called dukes in the world, but most of them don't have titles, but they have a lot of money. As I claim to be, the only one who has a knighthood is an earl or a viscount or something. Coupled with its bottom connotation, it is known as the Duke to the outside world.
The duke, the highest honor of the Western aristocracy, is equivalent to a marshal in the army.
Earl Albert is not only the earl of the British royal family, but also the contemporary head of the Green family, the Green Group is dedicated to energy companies, and 40% of the UK's overseas energy sources belong to the Green Group.
Oil, mineral deposits, natural gas, seabed development, Antarctic development, etc., although the Green Group is not very conspicuous in the world, but the tentacles are everywhere, which is beyond the reach of most enterprises.
The title of Earl Albert can even ask the Royal Navy to make some assistance, and even the US Navy can be transferred one or two, don't look at the United States as the most powerful country in the world, but in the ancient tradition, the United States is not even a child, and it is the top ten American consortia that control the U.S. government, and if these ten consortia really provoke the British royal family, even if you have money, it is useless.
On the surface, Britain is now the younger brother of the United States, but secretly, what Britain has in its hands is definitely not something that the United States, a child with a history of only 200 years, can contend with.
The earl is not willing to let the Green Group slowly decline, affected by the economic crisis in 08, coupled with the fact that the mining of several overseas energy deposit sites has reached the limit, the new energy deposits must be repositioned, and the land has been occupied, although the Green Group is strong, but it is impossible to rob others.
As early as 06 years, Green Group has been committed to marine development, especially investing tens of billions of euros in the development of marine mining technology, with good success, and in this regard, Green is also the world's top.
But ocean exploitation, which is simply a bottomless pit, has done nothing but natural gas and shallow sea minerals until now.
The shallow sea energy itself is scarce, and it cannot support the expenses of the Green Group at all.
After the economic crisis in 08, Green Group began to make new investments.
However, the Green Group's paving is too large, not to mention energy and minerals, the European Joint Research and Development Institute alone accounts for 30% of the assets of the Green Group, and aerospace development also accounts for a large part of the funds.
The Green Group looks powerful, but in fact, it has no development power at all, if it weren't for the identity of Earl Albert, the Green Group would have been played to death by the world's big jaws.
According to incomplete statistics, Green Group owes more than 300 billion euros to more than 20 banks in the world.
In fact, the European economic crisis was largely affected by several aristocratic groups such as Green.
Think about it, they obviously owe trillions of euros in loans, but they don't have the money to pay them back, and no matter how rich the bank is, it doesn't play like this, and because of the background, let alone the government, even the royal family can't do anything about them.
Strong? All right! If this group falls, it will affect the entire European and even the entire world market, and the network of connections between several aristocratic enterprises is too huge to be moved.
Although the European government and the royal family have tried to help these companies turn losses into profits, the effect is not very good, because the United States and several other large conglomerates are blocking their way, and in recent years, many businesses have only lost money, and rarely made profits.
It is also after the economic crisis in 08 years, European companies began to not bird the so-called ban, began to strengthen cooperation with Huaxia, and wanted to develop a new market in Huaxia, and now the results can be seen, especially the high-tech industry, which can bring tens of billions of benefits to European companies every year, although it does not play a big role, but it can also make it a lot less stressed.
With such a huge market prospect of genetic optimization solution, Green Group can naturally see it.
Originally, Count Albert would not have come to participate in the so-called coming-of-age ceremony of the Japanese imperial family, but Zhu Lan's coming made the people of the Green Group see hope, the hope of first-class agency.
But for Zhu Lan, the evaluation of this person is different all over the world, and they all hope to win it, and it may be difficult to impress Zhu Lan by relying solely on the president or director of Green.
"You guys talk first, I have something to do, let's get busy first!" Chibon Sakurako understands that in this situation, her level can no longer stay here, so she leaves with interest.
"Mr. Zhu, please come here!"
For Senbon Sakurako leaving, Albert didn't even look at it.
said to Zhu Lan with a smile.
Zhu Lan nodded helplessly.
Albert was not in the hall, but led Zhu Lan to a small room on the side.
Walking in, Zhu Lan frowned, and then dispersed, in the small room, there were a few people sitting, and these people, except for two, Zhu Lan knew all of them, and they were all powerful people behind several European companies.
"Guys, look who's coming!"
Albert said to the crowd with a smile.
Everyone looked over and found an Oriental man, and they wondered, and then thought of something and smiled.
Zhu Lan sneered, no matter how he looked at it now, he felt like a sheep in a wolf's den?
"Mr. Zhu, meet for the first time!"
Several people stood up and stretched out their hands to Zhu Lan.
Zhu Lan greeted them one by one.
Albert beckoned Zhu Lan to sit down.
At the beginning, everyone did not talk about genetic optimization liquid, but about the difficulties of the world market, as well as the earnings of several companies last year, the impact on the world, and so on.
Zhu Lan just smiled and watched a few people talk, but didn't say anything.
Zhu Lan understands that they want to give themselves a clear understanding of how influential their company is in the world.
Everything they say is true, but there is something they don't say, that is, their companies are all indebted companies that owe tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of loans to banks.
They didn't say this, and Zhu Lan wouldn't come forward to break it, that wouldn't be easy.
The night slowly fell, and everyone talked in the room for more than two hours, Zhu Lan just nodded and did not express any opinions, and Albert and the others would not ask Zhu Lan to express any opinions.
Until the end of the banquet, Zhu Lan did not say more than ten words, and Albert and the others did not say anything about asking Zhu Lan about the first-level agency of gene optimization liquid.
"I'm so sorry, it's my fault for letting you have such a banquet!"
After the banquet was over, Senbon Sakurako, who didn't know where she went, came out and sent Zhulan back in person.
In front of the courtyard, Senbon Sakurako apologized repeatedly.
Zhu Lan shook his head, "No, this is also an expansion of my network, isn't it?" ”
"Gentlemen, if you think like this, Sakura will be much more relieved, and you also understand that my identity is not a word for them, but please rest assured, there will be no such thing tomorrow."
Zhu Lan didn't care about Senbon Sakurako's words, but when he heard this, Zhu Lan smiled.
"Okay, I know, I'm tired, there's nothing to do tomorrow, please help me push it!"
"Good lords!" Senbon Sakurako smiled respectfully.
Zhu Lan waved his hand and walked into the courtyard, the meaning of a thousand cherry blossoms, Zhu Lan was very clear.
At first, Zhulan wondered why he let these people come to contact him, and it seems that the Japanese imperial family is not very united.
It may be a test of oneself, or it may be the result of a game of interests, but so what? Themselves or themselves, how do they play, what does it matter to them, as long as they don't open their mouths, who can do anything to themselves? didn't come in person, Zhu Lan's greatest confidence is fearless.
