Chapter 60: Charity Dinner
The next day.
Hilton Ballroom.
The lights are brilliant.
Handsome men and women in luxurious clothes held hands, shuttling back and forth in the banquet hall to catch and chat, and the topics were nothing more than land, oil, stocks, futures, and celebrities.
In short, no one talks about charity.
Although tonight is obviously a charity dinner.
The protagonists of the charity dinner, the Rockefellers, were scattered around the banquet hall to receive worship.
The Rockefeller family was founded in the last century by John Brown. Rockefeller started out and is now in the transition between the second and third generations.
As the saying goes, you can't be rich for three generations, but the Rockefeller family shows no signs of decay.
On the contrary, the family business has grown from oil-based to an all-encompassing wealth empire.
A few years ago, the Rockefeller family sold a piece of land worth $8.7 million to the United Nations for $1 as the address for the headquarters building.
Is it charity?
It looks like it.
But!
It's not just about charity.
The vast expanse of land surrounding that land also belonged to the Rockefeller family.
In just a few years, the price of these lands has doubled because of the headquarters building of Lianheguo, and it will continue to rise in the future, enough to support the children and grandchildren of the entire Rockefeller family for generations to eat and drink.
This transaction became one of the most successful cases in the history of business, and everyone found out afterwards that the Rockefeller family was in charge of the situation, but there was nothing they could do, but they only hated themselves for not thinking of this trick before Rockefeller.
The children and grandchildren of the Rockefeller family are basically all competitive, today my cousin's family will have a financial genius, and tomorrow my cousin's family will have a foreign trade expert.
Resources, connections, and strict family education have made this family a world-renowned and wealthy until Paul crosses.
Of course, not everyone in the family is a top one.
For example, I was sitting at the bar at the moment, and David. Fox talks about the details of the deal by Charles. Rockefeller.
David wasn't on the invitation list for the charity dinner.
With 4 office buildings, he is a little unqualified.
However, in order to complete the office transaction as soon as possible, Charles got him an invitation.
David is a businessman, and such an opportunity will certainly not be missed.
Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to try to reconcile the contradictions between Charles and Maria, and do a little bit for Maria.
However, after sitting down and chatting for half a minute, he knew that it was impossible.
"Eve is made from Adam's ribs, such an obvious meaning, how can women nowadays become more and more incomprehensible."
Charles shook his head, "There are more and more things to ask for, what salary, status, right to speak... Isn't this nonsense, 10,000 years have passed since the matriarchal society, and there are still people who do not give up. ”
"It can't be generalized." David endured the contempt in his heart and smiled, "There are still women who change the direction of the world, such as Catherine, such as Wu..."
"Hmph, it's all a human countercurrent, it's not worth mentioning." Charles called the bartender, took two glasses of champagne, and handed one to David.
"Let's not talk about these bad things, come, cheers for our first cooperation!"
'Bang! ’
"First collaboration." David smiled and asked, "So, you're interested in our other office buildings as well." ”
"I'm interested in everything." Charles had a bloodthirsty expression, "Especially everything in New York, including your office building, but... The prices of other buildings will not be so cheap for you. ”
"That's... Why is this building so cheap for me? David asked, feigning ignorance, "I've always been curious about this question." ”
"Hmph, to put it bluntly, the ribs want to rebel."
"Huh?"
"Oh, nothing." Charles realized that he had slipped his mouth and quickly stopped.
Nearby are all famous reporters invited by the family, and if anyone overhears Charles's real intention to buy the office building, it will be published in the newspaper.
Not only would it be a deal cancellation, but he would also be slapped by the board of directors for not putting the company's interests first.
"Okay, everyone is here to relax tonight, let's not talk about this, how about it, have you taken a fancy to any celebrity, I'll introduce you..."
At this moment, a blonde girl who did not lose to any celebrity came to the two of them.
"Hello, Mr. Rockefeller."
Charles heard someone say hello behind him, turned around and saw the dressed and glamorous Washington Daily News reporter, Jenny Brown. Barnes.
Charles's eyes lit up immediately, and he gently took Jenny's hand, "Miss Barnes, it's a good thing." ”
With that, he possessed and kissed Jenny's slender hand.
Kissed for a long time, a long time...
Jenny tried to pull her hand back several times, but she was unsuccessful, maintaining an elegant smile on her face, but she was scolding the old critic in her heart.
"Oh, this is mine... Business partner, David. Fox. ”
"Hello." Jenny quickly took advantage of the situation to pull out her hand and shook hands with David, who was much gentler than Charles.
"Mr. Fox is attending the Rockefeller family's charity dinner for the first time."
"Yes." Fox said gentlemanly, "It's all thanks to Charles." ”
"Miss Barnes, how are you feeling?" Charles pointed to the ballroom with a champagne glass, "Can the charity dinner we hold be the five hundred words on your column tomorrow?" ”
"The dinner can only be used as a general beginning in my column, and as for the text... I'd like to interview you. ”
Jenny swallowed before she said, "The most successful real estate businessman of the Rockefeller family." ”
Charles has heard a lot of flattering words, but tonight, this sentence can especially make him pull up.
Actually, at today's dinner, Charles was a little unhappy.
After all, it's an important time of year for the Rockefeller family to come together, and it's the perfect time to show off their achievements.
And Charles's results this year are really not good.
At the end of the year, the company had a slight turnover problem, and it was only able to survive by relying on bank loans from cousins and cousins.
Of course, it's not a big deal, far from the point where Hengtai Real Estate is.
After all, house prices and land prices will continue to rise for the foreseeable future.
It's just that, at least this time, in front of his cousin who borrowed his money, Charles was a little unable to raise his head.
In the banquet hall, the guests who circled around him were far less than the other Rockefellers.
So, Jenny's words made him feel very happy.
"I've won the prize, so what do you want to interview me? Feel free to get started. ”
"Great, but—" Jenny leaned down and touched her ankle in feigned pain, "I've stepped on my heels for a day today, and my feet hurt so much, why don't we find a place to sit down and we'll talk slowly." ”
Paul said that to sit down at the table in the center of the lobby for an interview, and to have Charles sit in a certain position.
