Chapter 312, The Banquet
In the private club, there is a huge banquet hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, and Lei Weidong and Xu Xiaoying, who is the head of the charity foundation, stand at the door of the banquet hall together to welcome a group of celebrities and celebrities who come to help.
"I didn't expect so many celebrities to come today."
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no guests coming over at this meeting, Xu Xiaoying turned her head to look at the Star Wars trio in the past and said, "I didn't expect the Star Wars princess and Skywalker to come?" β
"I didn't expect Xiaoying to chase stars too!" Lei Weidong shrugged his shoulders and ignored the Star Wars trio.
"As long as young people like to chase stars! Of course, I admire you the most, husband! Xu Xiaoying said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, a burly man came in at the door of the banquet hall, Lei Weidong greeted him with a smile and said, "Stallone, I'm so glad you can come." β
"Where! Lei Shaoxiang invited, I definitely want to come over! "Stallone, although this tough guy in the film industry looks wooden, he actually has a very high IQ. For Lei Weidong, the investor is very enthusiastic.
"This is!" Stallone's female companion is a super hot American sweet girl, who looks like she should have been a photography model, and may have also made cameo appearances in a few movies.
In Hollywood, I don't know how many such starlets, relying on their young age, good figure, and good face, they ran to Hollywood to break into the world, but most of them were defeated, and only a few were able to leap into the dragon gate.
"This is my girlfriend, Lacey!" Stallone smiled: "I heard that there are a lot of big names here today, and Lacey asked me to bring her to open my eyes!" β
"Then you go and get busy first, and then talk when you have time!" Looking at the obvious absent-mindedness of the female model named Lacey, Lei Weidong knew that this American girl must be paying attention to fishing Kaizi, but this is all a private matter, and Lei Weidong is not easy to ask.
Stallone was very generous, exchanged a few words with Lei Weidong, walked directly to the voluntary donation office near the door, and wrote $10,000 on the pledge column.
This donation is completely voluntary and was a common program of the American Charitable Foundation when it was founded.
Lei Weidong, a foreigner who runs a charitable foundation in the United States, naturally has to be careful, so Xu Xiaoying is relatively conservative in the operation of charitable foundations, and adopts the mature and customary methods used by most charitable foundations in the United States.
"Stan Lee, I'm so glad you're here." Looking at the old American man who walked in, Lei Weidong smiled.
Frankly speaking, Lei Weidong didn't expect Stan Lee to come from New York.
Stan Lee smiled and said, "Lei Shao! You started doing good deeds before you were an adult, and of course I want to come and support you! β
He then turned to Xu Xiaoying, "This is, don't you want to introduce me?" β
Xu Xiaoying shook hands with Stan Lee and said, "Hello, I'm Xu Xiaoying, Lei Shao's fiancΓ©e, and the head of these two foundations. β
"Congratulations! Miss Xu Xiaoying! Stan Lee smiled: "You are so beautiful, I really envy Lei Shao's happiness!" β
"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Xiaoying said with a smile.
Next, a series of heavyweight guests arrived, including Lei Shidong of National Entertainment, Lucas, Spielberg and other top figures.
These people were very generous, pledging donations ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 yuan.
It's just that Lei Weidong was a little surprised by the two strangers, very generous, both pledged 200,000 US dollars, this is the largest charitable donation today, which surprised Lei Weidong very much, it seems that the other party is definitely looking for something for himself.
There were fewer and fewer people coming in at the door of the banquet hall, and Lei Weidong asked Xu Xiaoying to leave first to prepare for the next auction.
Seeing that there was nothing coming, when Lei Weidong was about to turn around, he walked into the banquet hall, and a thin middle-aged man walked in with Jessica.
"Welcome!" Lei Weidong greeted Jessica first, and then stretched out his right hand to the middle-aged man next to him, "Hello, Mr. Alan Ryder." β
Little Alan Ryder shook hands with Lei Weidong and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lei, it's not easy to meet you. β
Lei Weidong didn't expect that little Alain Ryder also came, in the invitation sent by Xu Xiaoying, there was no name of little Alain Ryder, it can be said that he was the same as the two strangers in front of him, he came uninvited.
probably knew that Lei Weidong was busy, so he didn't say anything, and accompanied by Jessica, he quickly entered the banquet hall.
Zi Hanyan had just chatted with Stan Lee for a few words, and then walked towards the table where she was seated, Xu Xiaoying arranged the seat very distinctively, and her seat was next to Jessica.
Along the passage between the two rows of oak round tables, not far away, Zi Hanyan heard someone calling her.
"Miss Zihanyan."
Hearing this voice, Zi Hanyan turned her head to look over, and saw a middle-aged man sitting at a round table near the aisle, and said to her, "Can you talk a few words!" Miss Zihanyan? β
Zi Hanyan thought for a while, walked over and sat next to the middle-aged fever, and asked directly, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Anthony, I didn't expect that your Citibank was also interested in this party?" β
"Not interested in parties! Is interested in the host of the party! Anthony smiled: "Miss Zihanyan, can you introduce me to Mr. Lei in a moment?" β
"Mr. Anthony hasn't given up on the cauliflower doll yet, and wants to talk to my boss directly!" Zi Hanyan shook his head and said.
"The boss is very confident in the future of the cabbage doll and will not sell it!"
"In this world, as long as it is a commodity, there is a price!" Anthony smiled: "Citibank's sincerity is very strong, Miss Zi only needs to be introduced!" β
"Alright! Let's go over together when the party is over! Zi Hanyan slowly stood up and walked towards her table.
To tell the truth, the cauliflower doll is like her biological child to Zihanyan, who gave the cauliflower doll a new life and let her enter thousands of American households.
If Zi Hanyan is the boss, he will never sell the cabbage doll, and several parents will sell their children, but unfortunately he is not the boss, I only hope that Lei Shao's gaze can see a little farther, don't care about the immediate interests, Zi Hanyan believes that with his own efforts, it is not a problem to earn two or three billion US dollars for Lei Weidong through the cabbage doll in five years.
Watching Zihanyan go away, Anthony turned his head to look at the auction table, Lei Weidong was communicating with an oriental beauty with long hair, and couldn't help but shake his head, if it weren't for seeing someone from Merrill Lynch Bank also coming, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Glancing over the ballroom, Anthony saw Wade from Merrill Lynch sitting at a table in the corner.
If the two investment banks compete with each other, the price will definitely be very high, so the final profit must be Lei Weidong, Lei Weidong has achieved such excellent results at such a young age, his vision is absolutely incomparable, and he showed a little flaw on his side, Lei Weidong grabbed it and took a bite.
But if he gave up on such a good project, Anthony felt that it would be best to find a place to hang himself.
If it really doesn't work, Anthony can only propose to the board of directors to cooperate with Merrill Lynch and his party, anyway, I don't know how many times the major investment banks in the United States have cooperated with each other, and it is easier to take down Lei Weidong with the strength of the two companies.
