Chapter 232: Burning Yourself?

Time flies, and the time for the banquet is approaching.

Harris, who had spoken to Tang Bao at Andya's engagement banquet, had been waiting for Tang Bao's reply, and was even a little confident that he would receive Tang Bao's invitation. The reason is very simple, Tang Bao talked to him so much that day, which means that he guessed correctly, Tang Bao is interested in getting involved in the American film and television entertainment industry, and his appearance can help the other party avoid many detours and integrate into the American film and television industry faster.

But.

Harris still overestimated his role a little, although Tang Bao said that he would consider his proposal, but he was not in a hurry, and it was impossible to rashly absorb it into his inner circle. Therefore, Tang Bao did not obediently send a banquet invitation as he expected!

It's late at night, in a luxurious villa.

"Hoo ......"

Harris gulped down the red wine in his glass and gasped for air...... No, in a few hours to be exact, Tang Bao's private banquet would begin, and at this time he still hadn't received the invitation, which meant that he had lost his last chance to get the ticket.

Harris, Haval directly entered Goldman Sachs after graduation, and at the age of 28, that is, in the fifth year of working at Goldman Sachs, he successfully became a partner of Goldman Sachs. This is the first time he has been hit, so naturally it is a little difficult to accept and very unhappy! Of course, more is unwilling!

"Hmph, I'll make you understand what I do!" After drinking it all again, Harris muttered to himself.

He became a partner of Goldman Sachs at a young age, and his ambitions naturally swelled violently. However, Goldman Sachs has hundreds of senior partners who are like old foxes, and the intrigue is beyond the imagination of the outside world, and he has limited room to exert himself...... If you want to have a higher development, you must jump off the shackles of Goldman Sachs and seek to develop your own career. This is common at Goldman Sachs. Many partners are not just Goldman Sachs partners, but also use Goldman Sachs' various resources to develop their own companies, investments, etc. However, a junior partner like Harris has limited resources at his disposal.

So.

Harris turned his gaze beyond Goldman Sachs, which could not provide resources, so he looked for it himself! It just so happened that Tang Bao's recent operation of Columbia Pictures, he saw Tang Bao's plans for the American film and television industry, and immediately felt that this was his opportunity. This is the scene where he met and talked with Tang Bao before.

Unexpectedly, in Harris's opinion, it was an opportunity that came easily. But it was not so easy to grasp, and he realized that if he did things with the same mentality as before, he would probably only watch the opportunity slip away from him...... Drinking alone late at night, on the one hand, is to vent the depression and depression in my heart, and more deeply, it is to reflect on how to better show my role.

……

Morning.

As usual, Tang Bao got up just after six o'clock, started his morning jog, and then played Tai Chi a few times.

"Boss. The banquet is scheduled to start at 9 a.m., and some guests may arrive early, so you'd better get dressed early! Kate reminded that the timing of the banquet was a little different. It's neither evening nor weekend, it's Wednesday morning, and under normal circumstances, everyone has to work at this time, and no one is idle to attend a banquet. But obviously, Tang Bao's banquet will not be given a cold reception because of the time arrangement. "I'll go and see how the drinks and food are prepared for the banquet......"

"Huh. It's less than seven o'clock, so there's no need to rush. Tang Bao behaved very calmly, unhurriedly, chewing and swallowing slowly.

“……”

Kate shook her head helplessly. What she wanted to remind was that if the guests arrived early and saw Tang Bao still wearing sports casual clothes, although no one would accuse anything, it would be extremely disrespectful to the guests.

"Good morning, Kate."

"Ah...... Lady Annette, you're here so early! Kate, who was about to check the preparations for the banquet, bumped into Mrs. Annette head-on and couldn't help but be surprised.

What are you afraid of, what are you afraid of!

"I came in ahead to see if I needed help. What about Don? Lady Annette said with a smile. He wouldn't be unready! ”

"Well, the boss is having breakfast, I'll go and inform immediately." Kate knew that Mrs. Annette was Tang Bao's confidant, but she didn't deliberately hide it.

After speaking.

Kate hurried into the hall of the villa, and Lady Annette followed in with a smile on her face.

"Don, good morning!"

"Uh." Suddenly seeing Mrs. Annette appear in front of him, Tang Bao was slightly stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and then greeted with a smile, "Good morning, Mrs. Annette, please be seated." There was still a long time before the banquet began......" The last words seemed to justify themselves.

But.

Lady Annette, as his personal advisor, is a regular visitor here, and Tang Bao is sure that Lady Annette will not mind his faux pas.

"Lady Annette, please feel free to ...... I'm going to change my clothes. Tang Bao stood up and said.

But.

As soon as he took a step, he heard Mrs. Annette say, "Don, I have something important to talk to you." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Bao retracted his steps suspiciously, listening to her tone with a little eagerness, and rushing to the villa so early, he knew that something big might happen......

"Tang, I heard that at this banquet, you sent an invitation to Milken, the executive of the former Dechong Securities, is it true?" Lady Annette asked.

"Well, that's right! What's the problem? Tang Bao was surprised.

Mrs. Annette replied with a serious expression, "Big problem! If I had known in advance that Milken was invited, I would have done my best to stop you. Now it's too late, so I can only rush over and remind you to keep a good distance from him at the banquet, so as not to get burned......"

Tang Bao was even more surprised.

"Don, I know that this banquet is not easy, you may have new plans, but whatever your plans are, it is best to leave Milken out of them."

"Mrs. Annette, I'm a little confused. Although Milken is entangled in lawsuits over junk debts, he doesn't have to hide from the plague......

"I got the news that just yesterday Milken was arrested by police for premeditated murder and subsequently released on $5 million bail! At the critical moment when the U.S. Department of Justice pursued Milken, many key witnesses had accidents, car accidents, suicides by swallowing guns, falling from buildings, and disappearances...... The police have already obtained clues from a case of suicide by swallowing a gun, and the biggest suspect is Milken. Coincidentally, you and Milken had a long secret conversation before this series of unexpected events! I don't know what you've talked about, and I don't want to get into it. But the police in New York were desperate to find out...... Don, do you see what I mean? Mrs. Annette reminded solemnly.

Suddenly.

Tang Bao fell silent.

"New York police find evidence of Milken's premeditated murder?" Tang Bao asked softly.

"I don't know the specifics, maybe there are some clues, otherwise it would not have been possible to arrest Milken. Of course, it is also possible that he cooperated with the Department of Justice to protect witnesses, which made Milken jealous and did not dare to attack the remaining key witnesses. Lady Annette said.

After a pause, Mrs. Annette added: "Maybe the police will come to investigate and interrogate soon, and you had better prepare a lawyer to deal with it." It is best for Phoenix Investment Group to say hello to Horst and other high-level executives in advance...... You should know what happens when the situation gets out of control. Journalists are definitely the most excited, they don't care if you're involved or not, they only care about the sales of the paper. ”

……

Grass.

Tang Bao couldn't help but curse. If it is rumored that he has something to do with the murder case in the United States, whether it is a fact or a rumor, it will be troublesome.

And what made Tang Bao bitter was that when he met with Milken, he did say to Milken "shut up those who are in the know". If the content of these conversations is mastered by the American police, then Tang Bao will really have a headache. Thankfully, Milken shouldn't be stupid enough to admit this...... Otherwise, he will be the first to suffer.

"Grass, Milken is such an idiot that he would leave a clue. Let the police catch the handle! Thinking of the impending trouble, Tang Bao scolded secretly.

"Don, you don't have to be overly nervous. Milken is not simple, even if the police suspect him of premeditated murder, without sufficient evidence, it is difficult to convict him. And a person like him, with a little trick, will make the evidence against him disappear! Lady Annette seemed to sense Tang Bao's concern and was relieved.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded silently, he didn't doubt that Milken could do this. In his previous life, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but in fact he was freed after serving only 22 months.

"Whew...... To tell you the truth, I was planning to invite Milken to be my personal advisor, and I intend to make a formal announcement at today's banquet. But now it seems that I am afraid to put this idea on hold. ”

"Private advisor?!" Mrs. Annette was surprised.

"Yes. Milken has a terrifying influence and network in the bond space, and he parted ways with Dechong Securities, and I wanted to pull him in. ”

No wonder......

After listening to Tang Bao's explanation, Mrs. Annette came to her senses. Before Dechong's accident, it is not an exaggeration for Milken to say on Wall Street that he can call the wind and rain, although he has now fallen off the altar due to the problem of junk debts, but still no one dares to ignore his energy...... If there is an opportunity, I believe that the major investment banks on Wall Street will not mind investing in it.

"Don't get too close to him until he's out of trouble!" Mrs. Annette reminded.

"I understand."

Tang Bao smiled and nodded, and answered. The U.S. Department of Justice can be indifferent to Milken's charges, but the charges of premeditated murder are different, and he can't afford not to take them seriously. Especially in the case where he may be implicated, Tang Bao will be more cautious.

……

After talking about Milken, it was already past eight o'clock, and there was not much time before the banquet, and at this time, guests had already arrived. (To be continued......)
