Chapter 233: Banquet

Outside Tang Bao's villa.

A row of neatly dressed servants straightened their waists and stood without squinting waiting for their guests. A Lincoln stretch car slowly stopped, and immediately a maid stepped forward to open the door, and when the guests got out of the car, they bowed slightly and greeted them with a smile!

Then.

Tang Bao and Kate had just finished chatting with a U.S. congressman when they happened to see Adelson coming with a female companion, so they stepped forward and smiled: "Welcome two!" ”

"Don, it's really an honor to be able to attend your private banquet." Adelson said, then looked sideways at the female companion who was holding his arm, and proudly introduced, "This is my wife, Rachel." My dear, he is the host of the banquet - Don! ”

Rachel said, "Hello, Don, it's a pleasure to be here. Your villa is truly beautiful! ”

Tang Bao bowed slightly, and replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Lady Rachel!" Wishing you a great time today and a memory with good words. ”

After a few more casual conversations, Tang Bao left. As the host of the banquet, it is naturally impossible to take care of all aspects of the Adelson all the time.

"Boss, Mr. Baker has come over and is talking to Mrs. Annette." Kate reminded that Baker is the secretary of state in the Bush administration, and his status is extraordinary, which naturally makes Kate pay special attention.

"Hmm."

Tang Bao hummed softly, Baker was the highest current American official he had befriended, but he didn't expect that Baker, who was so busy, would come to the banquet, and he originally invited Baker just out of politeness, and he didn't expect him to come. After all, the banquet is neither a weekend nor a night, and under normal circumstances, Baker, as secretary of state, has a lot to do...... It is also rumored that attending private banquets during working hours can also cause criticism.

……

"Hi, Don!"

"Andya, Sarah, welcome." Not long after attending their engagement banquet, the communication was relatively relaxed and casual.

"Leave us alone, Don ......" Andya glanced around at the crowd at the banquet. Seems to be looking for like-minded partners. Then he picked up the wine on the table and left.

See here.

Tang Bao smiled knowingly, this couldn't be better. To be honest, every guest attending the banquet is not simple, and it is not good to snub anyone.

"Mr. Hinton, it's gone, how are you doing?"

"Ha, Don. Originally, I planned to invite you to my family dinner, but I didn't expect you to have a private banquet in advance...... Léa. You've seen it. Hinton pointed to the girl next to him and smiled.

I saw--

The long hair of the fiery red shawl, like a flame rushing, revealing a wisp of wildness; The smooth and fair face reveals a little greenness; shiny and deep eyes, glowing with a charming sheen; Thick eyebrows, a tall nose, and beautiful and seductive red lips show noble elegance and a wild temptation.

A light blue low-cut dress with a necklace of great value. Then put on a little light makeup, and you will show yourself perfectly.

There is a unique wildness in the nobility!

Forehead.

Tang Bao was slightly surprised, last time at the charity gala, it seemed that this little beauty had a very unfriendly attitude towards him. I didn't expect to come to the banquet and dress up carefully. I have to say that Leia is a beautiful woman, which makes people's hearts move inadvertently.

"Miss Léa, you're really beautiful." Tang Bao subconsciously praised.

"Thank you!"

Leia bowed slightly. With a smile on his face.

……

Soon.

The guests who should have arrived arrived, and the banquet officially began, without a solemn banquet speech. As the host, Tang Bao just said a few words like "everyone eats happily and has a good time" and hurriedly ended. On the surface, this is an ordinary banquet for everyone to eat and drink!

"Huh?"

Leia, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help frowning after listening to Tang Bao's speech, "Grandpa, you put down your work and rushed to New York, just to eat and drink?" ”

"Oh, can't you. Your grandfather and I are also human beings and need to rest, so it's rare to have a chance to relax! Hinton said with a smile. Even if it's an ordinary banquet for eating, drinking, and having fun, not everyone can participate. If you're in New York, you've probably heard of the gold content of Don's private banquet invitations...... Why, it's a big gap from what you expected, and I'm very disappointed, isn't it? ”

Leia was silent.

"From the moment you offered to come with me to the banquet, I knew you must have some kind of purpose. Léa, today's banquet has just begun, and I don't know what will happen next, you see...... Elites in all fields, whose time is more precious than your grandfather and mine, can wait calmly. ”

Hear the words.

Leia looked around, only to see that the guests didn't realize that something was wrong, and everyone gathered with familiar friends, frequently raising glasses, whispering and chatting and laughing.

"Don't leak what happened today to outsiders!" Hinton warned.

Leia was not convinced, and muttered in a low voice: "Hmph, who rarely talks ......about it" However, only she knows what she really thinks.

Let's be honest.

Tang Bao's private banquet was very confidential, and no one could even figure out the list of banquet invitations. It is precisely because it is so mysterious that it has attracted the attention of the outside world and aroused curiosity...... Many reporters squatted outside the villa in the hope of getting a little eye-catching news.

I believe that if someone is willing to break the news about the banquet to the outside world, the society is willing to spend a lot of money. It's a pity that the people who attended the banquet were either rich or expensive, and no one cared about that money, and they disdained to do that kind of paparazzi.

……

At the banquet.

Tang Bao saw Milken, dressed in a delicate suit, with a hairstyle that was not messy, and looked energetic, no one would have thought that he would be chased and beaten by the Ministry of Justice, and even charged with premeditated murder. Tang Bao wanted to remind Milken not to involve himself in his troubles, but he gave up after thinking about it, and deliberately reminding Milken would make him look weak-hearted. Besides, he only gave Milken a few suggestions to get rid of the Justice Department's charges, and he didn't ask him to do anything illegal, let alone commit murder.

But. Things don't always go according to their own ideas, Tang Bao avoided Milken, but Milken took the initiative to find him......

"Hello, Don, it's an honor to be at your private banquet. Can you talk about it? Milken stretched out his hand.

"Gladly."

Tang Bao shook hands with Milken and replied with a smile. Although he wants to change his plan and keep his distance from Milken, he can't show it too obviously, after all, Tang Bao is the host, and Milken is the guest, and the guest wants to talk to the host about things, and if he forcibly refuses, it will not be rude.

"I've been in a bit of a new trouble lately, maybe the New York police will come and bother you and ask about a meeting between me and you!" Milken said.

"Understand...... I just invited you to be my personal advisor. I don't know anything else! Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Don."

"It's a good job! What's more, I'm still waiting for you to settle the trouble and be my personal advisor. Tang Bao smiled lightly. He was afraid that Milken would talk nonsense and drag him into the water, but in fact, he thought too much, and now Milken was even more afraid that Tang Bao would give testimony to the police and send him into the abyss.

The two of them stopped at the point and didn't talk about it in depth.

"Tang, now Dechong Securities is in huge trouble, is planning to lay off a large number of employees, and some investment banking elites are also planning to leave. If you are interested in setting up an investment bank, this is a rare opportunity to poach! Milken suggested that although he had been forced to leave Dechong, he still had connections and knew everything about Dechong.

"Well, I'll think about it."

Tang Bao nodded and answered. He had long intended to set up an investment bank in the United States, and at the beginning, he contacted Milken to use him to receive the elite team left by the collapse of Dechong.

Right now.

Milken took the initiative to send the opportunity to his eyes, and Tang Bao naturally would not let it slip away. Today, commercial and investment banks in the U.S. are not allowed to operate in a mixed manner. In other words, he wants to expand his investment banking business, but he cannot rely on East West Bank to expand, so he can only form a new financial group.

"To form an investment bank, you must have a CEO with excellent quality, do you have a suitable person to recommend?" Tang Bao stared at Milken and asked.

Forthwith.

Milken fell silent, his brow furrowed deeply, as if he was considering who to recommend to Tang Bao...... Undoubtedly, he has a wide network of contacts in the field of investment banking, and knows many outstanding managers and financial executives, but not all of them are on his path. Thinking a little further, he will also work for Tang Bao after getting out of the lawsuit, and may even go directly to the newly formed investment bank, he naturally hopes to recommend a CEO candidate who maintains a friendly relationship with him, at least not hostile to him.

"Matt. Jackman, Mel. Brody, Alex, are good candidates! Milken gave three names in one go, which also showed his shrewdness.

"Oh, what's going on with them?" Tang Bao asked casually.

"Matt is the chief financial officer of Dechong Securities, who has been deeply involved in the investment banking field for many years, is very familiar with the business, and is good at dealing with peers.

"Mel is the head of marketing at Salomon Smith Barney, and he has the same advantages as Matt, but he has worked for Salomon Smith Barney all his life, is extremely valued by the company, and there is room for promotion, he may be the most powerful candidate for the next CEO of Salomon Smith Barney, and it is very difficult to poach him."

Alex is a senior vice president of an auto insurance company, a former market analyst, bond trader, etc., and he also has unique insights into the investment banking business, with great ambition and strong ability. The disadvantage is that he has no experience in investment banking, and it may not be so quick to get started! ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded understandingly, but he was not in a hurry to choose from them.

"I believe that with your ability, it is not difficult to find their contact information, and I will not do more." With that, Milken got up and left. (To be continued......)
