Chapter 206. 【Celebrities】
Gradually, even Richard himself became interested in Yi Feiyang.
"China Yi, what are your thoughts on building large hotels in Asia, especially in Hong Kong and mainland China?" Richard Hilton couldn't help but ask.
This question is no longer about the movie, it is logically a bit off-topic, but seeing that Hillary and Whitman, including the little girl Pals, are watching themselves, Yi Feiyang has to say: "The situation over there is very good!" ”
"Ah, what?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that the relationship between the United States and the Celestial Empire has been very tense recently, as long as it is a smart person, he will not say such a thing, but Yi Feiyang is ......
"I don't quite understand, Yi, do you think it would be good to invest over there?" Richard couldn't help but ask again.
Yi Feiyang nodded, "Yes, sir, if you invest in Hong Kong and the mainland now, in the future, you will get ten times the return!" ”
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was so sure, not only Richard, but also Hillary and Whitman were curious, "Yi, I think you should understand the current situation between China and the United States, yes, it's bad, isn't it?" ”
"There's no denying that." Yi Feiyang said with a smile, "But China and the United States are like old friends fighting, as a big country in the world, the relationship between the world is very delicate, it is impossible to continue to be so deadlocked, in the future, the two countries will not only develop a strategic cooperative partnership, but also deepen the cooperative relationship, therefore, I believe that the future tomorrow will be better!" In fact, Yi Feiyang did not say a few points, especially in 2008, the Celestial Empire will host the first Olympic Games, and the hotel industry will be extremely prosperous at that time.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang said so implicitly, Richard was not very satisfied with such an answer. "Easy. Don't talk about it. Now I have several hotel projects that are being prepared over there, but I can't see the situation over there clearly, because I think you are Chinese, so I will ask you so...... Businessmen, you have to pay attention to the international situation, which is also something that cannot be helped......"
Yi Feiyang saw them say this, so he sighed and said, "I don't know what you think of the 2008 Olympic Games?" ”
"In 2008? God, 2004 hasn't even passed. How do we know about the 2008 Olympics? ”
Yi Feiyang nodded, "So I said this is an opportunity, in my opinion, that year will be a sensation in the world, the Oriental Dragon will really take off in that year, and the Olympic flame will be lit there!" ”
Yi Feiyang's words have been said clearly enough, Richard and the others are not fools, of course they understand the meaning, but they don't quite understand, why is Yi Feiyang so sure that the dragon in the east will rise? Is it just because he is also Chinese?
That's right, Yi Feiyang is Chinese. He also hopes that his motherland will be extremely strong, but he also hopes that his motherland can win the respect of all countries in the world with its real strength.
Centennial Olympics. A 100-year-old dream!
2008 was a year full of miracles!
Yi Feiyang remembers everything of that year vividly, is grateful and excited, and even recalls the Olympic Games that year, and it is inevitable that his heart is surging.
But for Richard and others, the rise of the East is just a slogan of the West to mislead the people, what is the threat theory of the East, what Red Storm, those are some public opinion reports of foreign propaganda, and they cannot be taken seriously, but in the face of Yi Feiyang's "speculation" so convinced, they can't help but be suspicious...... Will the Oriental Dragon of the future really usher in the Olympics?!
"Dear Mr. Richard, believe it or not, my country will definitely be rich and strong, and it will be strong, which is something that no country can stop, so investing in the East is definitely the best choice, I suggest you do it!" Yi Feiyang looked at Richard with a burning gaze and said.
For the first time in history, Richard felt such a strong self-confidence in a young man, as if what the other party said to him was an unchangeable historical fact, and you had to believe him.
Yi Feiyang's aura suppressed everyone at once, including the future American Iron Lady Hilton. And Pals-Hilton, who was still smiling, looked at Yi Feiyang in an extremely strange way, with a strange color in his eyes.
For a long time, Pars was only full of curiosity and admiration for Yi Feiyang, thinking that this guy was quite powerful, and he could create such a big career in just two years, but it was limited to this, and he didn't have any male and female feelings for him, just like she joked with Yi Feiyang before, just thinking it was fun, not serious. But now, Pars suddenly found that he seemed to have a liking for this strange oriental man, especially his kind of self-confidence, which even made people have an urge to worship blindly.
What is the greatest charm of men?
It's self-confidence!
Undoubtedly, Yi Feiyang did this, which made Pars, who has always been dismissive of men, a little confused.
"Hehe, dear Yi, since you are so optimistic about the situation over there, are you interested in cooperating?" Richard said suddenly.
"Cooperation?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, there is still a little shortage of funds for several big projects on my side, I wonder if you are willing to invest a little?"
Short on funds?
Joke!
If the Hilton family is short of money, no one will believe it. However, Yi Feiyang is very clear that this is a tactful statement, and he is actually concerned about whether he is interested in working together.
Nonsense, of course interested!
The hotel industry is a sunrise industry in the East, especially in the Celestial Empire, which is clean and pollution-free, and is vigorously supported by the state. What's more, as long as 2008, this industry will usher in the biggest profiteering......
Yi Feiyang's mind moved quickly, of course he also understood that Richard Hilton would not be so good to himself for no reason, let himself take advantage, eight ~ nine is to take a fancy to himself.
In fact, Yi Feiyang guessed correctly, Richard did fall in love with one thing about Yi Feiyang, that is-fame!
Richard is a businessman, he knows very well that the Orientals, especially the Celestial Empire, are wary of foreign enterprises, and do not think that the Celestial Empire people are easy to fool, they keep saying "reform and opening up, attract foreign investment". In fact, all foreign companies are on guard. So Richard thought of Yi Feiyang. This young man in China. has a wisdom that does not match his age, and the most important thing is that Yi Feiyang is a person in the entertainment industry, in Hong Kong, in the land of China, has a very strong appeal, even stronger than many Hollywood stars, with this live signboard, not to mention saving a lot of advertising costs. It can even be unimpeded in terms of cooperation with the Chinese side......
Richard's abacus is very loud, but it is a rare opportunity for Yi Feiyang, originally many large companies wanted to get a piece of the Hilton hotel industry, but today they were encountered so easily, how could they miss it?
So Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "Since Mr. Richard is so generous, I will be disrespectful, to be honest, I don't know much about the hotel industry, but I am also a lot relieved to be able to cooperate with your group." ”
Richard was glad that Yi Feiyang said this, and Ha Luha smiled. Raising his champagne glass, he said, "Very good, dear Yi." Then I wish us a happy cooperation! Yi Feiyang raised his glass and drank it all.
From that moment on, Yi Feiyang knew that he had truly entered the upper class society in the United States!
……
The upper class of the United States is a very restrictive circle, and the average person can only walk around the outside, but cannot find the door to enter.
Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped.
The upper class is just a small circle of aristocrats, it does not mean that you are an elite of society and can enter in a grand manner, nor does it mean that you are rich and nouveau riche, and you can squeeze into it all at once. The upper class has high requirements for those who come in, whether it is money or status, but these are not the most critical, the key is that you have someone to introduce you, and after being introduced, you can be regarded as truly integrated into this circle.
What are the benefits of being part of this circle?
What do you think, who are the people in this circle? Celebrities, tycoons, politicians, or some big people with real power, as long as you get along with these people, then it will definitely be of great benefit to you to expand your network and start your career in the future.
So much so that in the future, a great success scientist said, what is success equal? 30% knowledge, plus 70% connections!
This shows the importance of networking.
As a Chinese in the United States, Yi Feiyang is the weakest in terms of personal communication, even if he is talented, even if he can see the future, the relationship will not fall out of thin air, he needs to create and establish by himself.
Now, by chance, Yi Feiyang has become a partner of the Hilton consortium, and met the future Iron Lady Hillary, as well as the current mayor of Los Angeles Whitman.
The grand ball continued, as a "partner", Yi Feiyang was pulled by Mr. Richard to introduce many American celebrities, among which two impressed Yi Feiyang the most, one is a famous fashion designer in the world, known as the "Julius Caesar" and "Lafayette" Carl Lagerfeld in the fashion industry. That is, the little white-haired old man who likes to wear a small suit and tight pants, with a ponytail behind him and sunglasses to make it particularly trendy.
Yi Feiyang chatted with him briefly for a few words, and then found that this white-haired little old man was as energetic as "eating enough ginseng", and from time to time some German, French, and even Chinese...... popped out of his mouth
Karl Lagerfeld seems to like to talk to Yi Feiyang about the art of film, because the art of cinema can be directly transformed into the art of costumes, and don't forget, those actors have to wear clothes.
You. Lagerfeld is very angry that many celebrities don't pay attention to their own image and get fat and fat, saying that God has given these guys good clothes racks, but they don't know how to cherish them, and they eat McDonald's high-fat junk food, making them look like "inflated balloons". He also said that he is the most famous dieter in the fashion industry. Originally, he was a fat man, but because he wanted to wear the vampire-style DiorHomme men's clothes, he lost 42 kilograms in 13 months! Karl Lagerfeld also said that his nirvana diet method is that even though he loves Nutella chocolate very much, he only licks it and spits it out, so as to satisfy his appetite and taste it. Later, he said to Yi Feiyang that when choosing actors, especially actresses, you must choose those who have lost weight, because they will be pleasing to the eye and make fashionable clothes look more tasteful!
Yi Feiyang didn't understand why this "Lafayette" in the fashion industry would nag him so much, but he didn't know that the little old man was because he saw Yi Feiyang and Pars's little girl walking very close. And he was introduced by the old fellow Richard. Virtually. Just looked up to Yi Feiyang a few points, replaced it with someone else, don't say listen to his nagging, it is estimated that he didn't even bother to look at it a few more times.
In the face of "Galeries Lafayette", Yi Feiyang could only answer without a word, occasionally involving topics such as clothing design or popular elements. Yi Feiyang racked his brains and used some articles on "Ruili" and "Bazaar" fashion magazines that he had seen in his previous life to prevaricate. Often as soon as he opened his mouth, the old man was stunned, looking at his expression, Yi Feiyang thought that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't wait for the old man to wake up, only to realize that he was too "ahead" of speaking......
In short, talking to the old man, Yi Feiyang was pinching a cold sweat, and finally coped with him. Yi Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The second thing that impressed Yi Feiyang was the New York real estate tycoon that Richard introduced to him, Donald Trump.
If there is any first impression of this real estate tycoon on Yi Feiyang, it is a "bitter and hateful" face!
Yes. This super-upstart who is called "the most annoying" and "the most showy in the wind" in North America has a bitter gourd face that seems to tell you that you owe him 800 yuan.
In fact, it is true that as a super-rich man, the United States is dotted with high-rise buildings and yachts named after him. Trump has become a popular figure in the American media, with many magazines declaring that "Trump is a shallow and vulgar nouveau riche." But compared to his swagger, Trump's ups and downs are even more exciting, in the early 90s, Trump's $1.5 billion real estate empire suffered a huge Waterloo, he lost two-thirds of his wealth, but in 1997 he revived it with his autobiography "Trump: The Art of Return". Now, the tycoon, who had fallen, was able to get back on his feet and appear at such a grand banquet, it is conceivable that although he is not liked as a "nouveau riche", his interpersonal relationship is still extraordinary.
However, in the introduction, Yi Feiyang still keenly and vaguely felt Richard Hilton's disdain for this "nouveau riche......
Of course, this is just a feeling, but it also made Yi Feiyang know that an upper-class society like the United States does not refuse nouveau riche to join, but nouveau riche will not be loved by most people, after all, the upper-class society has the rules of the upper class, that is, try to be low-key, even if you want to be high-profile, you must pretend to be low-key, make a fortune in a muffled voice, and do not show off your wealth and power, because really strong wealth and wealth do not need you to show off at all......
In fact, it is common for a family with a history of 70 years like Hilton to look down on an upstart like Teplan, and conversely, a big family with a history of 100 years like Rockefeller is expected to look down on a "small" family like Hilton, and the Rothschilds will look down on the Rockefeller family......
In short, there is a mountain and a mountain high, and there are more rich families in the United States, if you really want to compare them one by one, I'm afraid it will be endless.
However, Yi Feiyang's impression of this Teplano is not bad, the bitter gourd face is a little ugly, but the words are very funny, and occasionally there are one or two meat jokes, which makes this originally elegant place immediately become "warm and amiable", of course, for some people, these meat words have lowered the level of the banquet a lot.
didn't talk much, Yi Feiyang had already decided that this Trump was a man of temperament, and our real estate tycoon also took Yi Feiyang's hand and called him a brother, full of cheesiness but very suitable for Yi Feiyang's spleen and stomach, until the last time, Tepra said that he talked to Yi Feiyang very speculatively, and felt that he was a "beautiful friend", and he must introduce his beloved daughter Ivanka Trump to him in the future. In Tepra's words, "Dude, please train her to be a star too, like Pars, and let the whole of America know that I have such a beautiful baby daughter!" ”
Ivanka Trump?!
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this name, because in his previous life, many boring men used to make the richest beauty in the world, and this Ivanka Teprang beat the Palms Hilton sisters to win the first place. The reason is that Ivanka Trump is the only legal heir to the nouveau riche in front of her, and she will be able to inherit all his wealth in the future of about 2.1 billion, unlike Palms Hilton, although the entire Hilton family has a wealth of 6.4 billion, she needs to divide it with her sister and two younger brothers.
And the legendary Ivanka Teprong is also different from the Hilton sisters, although Ivanka has more net worth than theirs, she is very reserved and cautious. She rarely haunts unsolicited bars and clubs, and never wears very little clothing like the Hilton sisters. Although her father is a well-known "nouveau riche", it is widely believed that she looks more like a princess than a real princess.
It is precisely because of this that Yi Feiyang can't help but be curious about this "princess", maybe he really wants to get to know him in the future.
……
In any case, Yi Feiyang gained a lot from the banquet this time and got to know many tycoons and powerful figures in North America, which is definitely good for his future development.
As time passed, the dinner party was about to end, and before leaving the banquet, Pars suddenly leaned into Yi Feiyang's ear and said, "Yi, I want to be your female companion on the day of our movie premiere!" ”
Yi Feiyang was about to refuse, but Anne Hathaway's position as a female companion had already been booked, but it was not easy for Naples to open his mouth at all, so he suddenly kissed him on the cheek, and then jumped away like a sparrow, leaving Yi Feiyang standing alone in a daze. (To be continued......)
PS: I woke up with a hangover, I owe someone a wine banquet, and I paid it back completely last night, I can't help it, my personality makes it, and I always think about what I owe to others...... I can only change it, and I ask for your understanding!
