Chapter 133: Meet Kelly Again
"Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, the Waldorf Astoria ......," Peter quickly said the time and place, "Oh, by the way, I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
Tang Bao didn't think about it for a moment, so he nodded with a smile. From Peter's description, he was almost certain that the banquet should be specially prepared for Japanese business delegations, providing a platform for business celebrities from both sides to exchange ideas and promote business cooperation. Sir Middleton invited him by name, probably only in passing.
Of course.
Sir Middleton's incidental invitation was not arbitrary, and it may still be inseparable from the issue of the stake in the "British BP Oil Company".
"Don, that's decided. I'll pick you up tomorrow! Okay, I'll go first, and I'll go and inform the other shareholders of the company......"
"Don't worry, since I promised to come down, I will definitely go!" Tang Bao said with a smile.
The next day, in the evening.
Peter came nearly an hour early, picked up Tang Bao, and went straight to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
"Wait a minute, there are almost all dignitaries from all countries here every day, and the security check is much stricter." Peter sat in the car and patiently explained to Tang Bao.
"Hmm."
Tang Bao smiled and nodded, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a five-star luxury hotel, although he had never stayed in it, he still had some impressions of it.
After a few minutes.
Tang Bao and Peter passed the inspection smoothly, Peter drove the car directly and slowly into the parking lot, and then the two walked into the hotel.
"Hey, it's really strict, is there a president of any country here?" Tang Bao asked.
"I don't know ...... this."
Peter shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating that he knew nothing. Although he has a deep relationship with the government, he does not take the initiative to inquire about everything.
Again.
Peter cared about the British BP oil company, and it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to inquire. Of course, if you are staying at the head of a major oil-producing country. Naturally, he would have known as soon as possible.
A few minutes later.
Tang Bao and Peter came to the banquet hall, and there were already many guests inside, and everyone was gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices.
"Hey, Peter, ...... this?"
An old guy who seemed to be very familiar with Peter, with a slightly slumped figure, greeted Peter with a smile, and then looked at Tang Bao's body.
"This is Don, the new director of BP Oil." Peter pointed to Tang Bao and introduced. Then he smiled and said to Tang Bao, "Tang, this is the senior vice president of HSBC, Helsby. ”
"Hello."
"Hello."
The two greeted each other and shook hands.
"Tang, I've heard of you, but I haven't had the chance to meet you. Oh, I have to say, you're so young beyond my imagination. Helsby sighed. Peter was able to get through it. But I really want to thank you, without you, I'm afraid he would be out of work and go home at this moment......"
"Uh."
Halesby babbled endlessly, and Tang Bao didn't realize it at first. Because the things we talk about are quite reliable. But five minutes later, the other party still had no intention of stopping, and the topic was getting farther and farther away...... Helesby smirked the joke and finished speaking. I laughed out loud, and it seemed funny.
Tang Bao suddenly looked at Peter helplessly.
See here.
Peter smiled and stepped forward to relieve him: "Alright." Helsby, Don and I have important things to do, we'll talk about that later. ”
"That's a pity......" Helsby seemed to be a little unsatisfied, but he didn't dwell on it any longer.
Watch as Helsby leaves.
Peter explained in a low voice, "Don't mind, this old fellow has some strange problems, probably because he is old, and he often makes fun of his old jokes. Only he finds it ridiculous...... Compared to his jokes, the way he tells them is even more ridiculous. ”
"Uh, Peter, are you sure it's just a bad problem, not a problem here?" Tang Bao pointed to his head and asked in a low voice.
"Oh. Don, don't be fooled by his idiot-like appearance, whoever treats him as an idiot is a real idiot. Besides, do you think HSBC's board of directors can tolerate a guy with a problem head being a senior vice president of HSBC? Peter said.
"That's ...... too"
In this way, Tang Bao also felt that it made sense. I thought to myself that maybe this Helsby was just a strange person......
Then.
Peter introduced some people to Tang Bao one after another, but everyone chatted a little bit, and they dispersed after becoming familiar, and did not talk endlessly like Helsby.
……
About ten minutes later.
Sir Middleton walked side by side with an Asian-faced man into the banquet hall, and the people in the banquet hall fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's banquet...... Well, now, the banquet has officially begun, and I hope everyone can gain something. Sir Middleton's speech was not long, only five or six minutes, and the banquet was officially opened.
Forthwith.
The atmosphere of the banquet hall suddenly became lively, and I saw many people shuttling through the crowd, especially the members of the "Japanese Business Delegation", the protagonist of tonight's banquet, were very popular, and many European business owners were circling around the Japanese, hoping to get Japanese investment and promote cooperation between the two sides.
If you have money, you are the uncle!
And now.
The richest people in the world are naturally Japanese...... In the face of money, the arrogant Europeans also lowered their stature.
Peter seemed to have his own ideas, leaving Tang Bao behind and running to "communicate" with the Japanese.
Hey.
This is really an out-and-out political and diplomatic banquet, seeing that the entrepreneurs of Britain and Japan are busy discussing cooperation issues, Tang Bao is a little emotional.
But.
Such a scene made Tang Bao's heart feel a lot more relaxed. Peter's so-called "banquet dedicated to celebrating the crisis of BP oil company" is simply bullshit, Ni Mei, Peter is too good at putting gold on his face, and he thinks too much.
I have to admit it.
The lineup of the Japanese business delegation was extraordinary, with companies such as Toyota, Honda, Mitsui Life, Fuji Bank, Sumitomo Banking Corporation, Miwa Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Sony, and Itochu Corporation participating.
In particular, Japan's four banks, Fuji, Sumitomo, Miwa, and Mitsubishi, were among the top 10 banks in the world at the end of the 80s.
No wonder the UK takes it so seriously!
"Sir. Excuse me......"
Someone is heard.
Tang Bao was suddenly a little displeased, and said coldly without raising his head: "I'm not a member of the Japanese business delegation, you have found the wrong person." In just ten minutes, three waves of people have come to talk to him, all of whom regard him as a member of the Japanese business delegation.
In this regard, Tang Bao was a little depressed.
These British are really stupid, Nima came to pull investment, talk about cooperation, and did not prepare in advance, and even couldn't tell the target from the owner. It deserves to be negotiated.
"I know. Giggles, Don, it seems like you're not in a very good mood. ”
There was silence for a few seconds.
The visitor giggled, as if he didn't feel Tang Bao's indifference and unwelcomeness. The strange thing is that she actually called out Tang Bao's name.
Well.
I think I've heard this voice somewhere, and it's a little familiar......
Tang Bao raised his head suspiciously, just in time to see the other party, who was smiling and bending over to stare at him, with a familiar smile and face. Suddenly exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”
"Come as you want."
Suddenly.
The other party shouted, "Is it good-looking?" ”
"Hmm."
Tang Bao subconsciously hummed.
"If you want to die, keep watching ......"
Swish.
Tang Bao suddenly woke up and argued helplessly: "Kelly." You stand in front of me like this, even if I don't want to see it. ”
That's right.
The woman who came over was the "black widow" who had a two-sided relationship with him. "Lady Kelly." When she bent over, she happened to present the scenery on her chest in front of Tang Bao's eyes. He is not a kind of Yanagishita Megumi who is not in a hurry, and he is cheap in front of him. Nature will not let it go.
But.
Thinking that this girl was a little difficult to mess with, Tang Bao quickly changed the topic. "Kelly, I'll meet you here. It can be seen that we are really destined. ”
"Sit, sit!"
Kelly was not polite, and sat directly beside Tang Bao, very close.
Forehead.
The charming smell of the perfume made Tang Bao a little intoxicated, as if this fragrance had a kind of magic that made people indulge in it, Tang Bao couldn't help but be shocked and cheered up.
Meantime.
Tang Bao moved down slightly, widening the distance between the two.
"Why are you sitting so far away, am I scary?" Kelly smiled and looked at Tang Bao, who was a little uncomfortable, and at the same time approached again.
No way.
Tang Bao scolded in his heart, but he was helpless. For the somewhat fickle Kelly in front of him, he really didn't have any options. So far, they have met three times, charming, cold, elegant, and noble...... She seems to be like a witch of change.
Elusive!
No one could tell which one was the real her. Of course, what makes Tang Bao jealous the most is why many people call her "black widow and woman",
OK.
Tonight, Kylie behaved quite normally, dignified and elegant, like a noblewoman. Of course, with her energy, she is also a real noblewoman.
"Don, you're here alone." Kelly said with a smile.
Tang Bao replied, "I was with Peter. ”
"That's good, you will be my male companion tonight." As she spoke, Kelly leaned over directly and grabbed Tang Bao's arm with one hand, not giving Tang Bao a chance to refute at all.
"Well, it seems that there is no dance party tonight, this is a group for business negotiations, isn't it the same with or without a male partner?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense, tonight, you are my male companion." Kelly didn't listen to Tang Bao's defense, and took Tang Bao's arm and said.
……
Then.
Tang Bao and Kelly chatted casually.
"Your ambition is really not small, since you secretly own 23% of the British BP oil company. Is there some kind of scheme? Kelly said in a low voice, seemingly knowing Tang Bao's affairs very well.
"What is secret, how ugly it is. I have increased my holdings and have been affirmed by the board of directors of BP Petroleum. ”
Kelly smiled charmingly and didn't continue to ask.
"Heh, you can't tell me so much, you know, your intervention has ruined some people's good things, you better be careful." (To be continued......) R1292
