It wasn't until the evening that a group of women returned victorious. Not only did everyone carry large and small bags in their hands, but they also had their hair done and had a spa treatment. Thinking about the scene when he suggested that he should go up and pinch his feet, Yang Dongxu felt that God was really unfair to men now.
"There will be a famous watch event in two days. Do you want to attend?" Zhou Ya, who was wearing a facial mask at night, handed an invitation to Yang Dongxu.
"You know I'm not interested in these parties." Yang Dongxu glanced at the invitation Zhou Ya threw in front of him and said nonchalantly.
"I know you are not interested, but don't I want to take charge of Runyu Fund and come to the front desk? In the future, I will inevitably have to deal with this president and that rich chairman. So let's see if we should expand this network." Zhou Ya Said casually.
"It's up to you. If you have time, go and take a look. If you don't have time, just refuse. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. About 70% of Runyu Fund's funds come from the companies under me. There is no need to have anything to do with these people. Too in-depth communication." Yang Dongxu's attitude was still indifferent.
Not to mention being rich, he is so arrogant, but he does have such strength now.
In fact, Yang Dongxu is a strange flower in the world of rich people. The growth process of every rich person is a process of expanding the intricate network of relationships.
But after so many years, the network around him seemed to be expanding, but for banquets, drinking bureaus, and alliances of wealthy people, he was not present at all.
He was previously dragged to the West Lake sword debate platform by Ma Fengyun. However, due to the conflict between him and Ali, the circle seemed to have forgotten about him.
In short, it is hard to imagine that such a rich man is very famous in the circle, but not many people have actually met him. And these occasional meetings were at some government business briefings.
At the same time, there seems to be less and less coverage of him in recent years, except for his previous conflict with the FBI that appeared in newspapers for a period of time. Whether it's the NBA team winning the championship or the Barcelona team sweeping the Champions League.
The two teams are very famous, and the stars of the two teams are now worth soaring, and can serve as the owners of the two teams. Yang Dongxu had previously caused heated discussions for a period of time because of his Chinese identity, but in recent years it has been rarely discussed.
Naturally, he found people to help block domestic public opinion and news, while the Kennedy family naturally took action in the United States and Europe.
Originally, he thought that he needed to keep doing this, but he didn't expect that if he only persisted for a little more than a year, as long as he didn't make any earth-shattering news, basically no one would discuss him.
All that is needed is that occasionally, I don’t know if my brain has been intermittently thinking of him, or I have heard about him, and the content of the opening picture is all made up of boring reports. Therefore, for this collection of famous watches, luxury cars, and what kind of tea party for the rich.
Some people had sent invitations to him before, but after he basically didn't show up, these people were wise enough not to bother him anymore. The invitation Zhou Ya took was a sincere invitation sent by the store manager of the watch store after she paid the price.
After all, anyone who casually spends more than 700,000 yuan to sell a watch is definitely qualified to participate in this famous watch exchange. Moreover, what Zhou Ya bought was a men's watch. Whether it was a gift or bought for her husband, it proved that this family was either rich or noble.
"Since you don't want to go, I'm too lazy to go. I put the watch in the storage cabinet of your watch." Zhou Ya took off the mask and said.
In fact, she doesn't like such occasions. She can indeed expand her network of contacts, but she will also come into contact with more people with ulterior motives. I remember that when she was managing assets abroad, she often had to deal with situations like this.
"Have you prepared the full moon ceremony for your little sister's child?" Yang Dongxu asked.
My younger sister's child was born last month, which is why Xiao Wenchen left home to go to school in Shanghai. Mother Yang missed her grandson so much that she wanted to come at first, but ended up not coming.
Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya went back when the baby was born, but they didn't stay at home for more than two days. Because the little sister is in confinement, it is not their turn to step in and take care of her.
A week after the birth of another child, it happened to be the National Day again. Zhou Ya took the child back to stay for another week. However, Yang Dongxu, the uncle, was running around all the time and only held the child for a while when it was born.
"I'm ready. The longevity lock, zodiac gifts, and full moon blessing bag are all ready. I've been calling my mother to discuss it in the past two days. What my mother means is that I can just congratulate my friends when the time comes, and the scene will be different. It's too big." Zhou Ya said.
In fact, it was not Yang Dongxu, the uncle, who had the final say on whether the child's full-moon ceremony would be a big deal, but the younger sister's in-laws' and her husband's.
But who makes the younger sister's family too 'arrogant'? There are lessons learned when Yang Dongxu got married and when Xiao Wenchen was born. In addition, the elder sister got married and had children, and the younger sister received those things when she got married.
You really need to listen to the opinions of your little sister’s mother-in-law’s family on what kind of full-moon ceremony they plan.
"Then just accept the gifts, and people won't be allowed to pass. It's indeed a bit bad to be in a scene with too many people." Yang Dongxu nodded.
In fact, my younger sister is living well when she is married to her current brother-in-law, and her brother-in-law’s family is also pretty good. Now they have a farmhouse and are living a prosperous life.
But there are those people who have pink eye and don't want to see others' good things. They always make trouble and gossip every day. For example, until now in my hometown, there are still rumors that the brother-in-law marries his younger sister because smoke comes out of the ancestral grave, and he has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck, and there are rumors that he is simply eating soft rice.
Therefore, in addition to the relatives and friends on my mother's side, the people of Yangjia Village need not mention the full moon ceremony for my little sister's child. Everyone who does business at the Yangjiacun market will probably give a gift.
This is not because the Yang family is overbearing in Yangjiacun, but because the Yang family has this reputation in their hometown, and they are generous with their resources and don't feel coerced at all when giving gifts.
This calculation basically excludes 50 tables. If Yang Dongxu's friends, such as Lai Tianqing Li Yihang and others, join in, the scene will probably be quite lively.
"Then I'll call Bai Feng and the others. Let's find time to host our family. Invite them to a meal in Yanjing or Shanghai as a thank you. Going back and forth to my hometown will also delay their work."
"Yeah." Yang Dongxu responded.
This kind of thing is obviously much more convenient for women to come forward and chat with the wives of each family than between men. Although Yang Dongxu doesn't like to attend any parties.
But occasionally, when Bai Feng, for example, or the wives of Lai Tianqing and others come to Magic City, or when they are in Yanjing, they will make an appointment to go shopping together in private.
"Feifei decides to go back with us as soon as possible. The cooks and waiters from the Yang Family Banquet in Chengwang City will also come to help." Zhou Ya said.
Nowadays, not many people in rural areas reserve tables in hotels for weddings. In fact, Yang Dongxu, as a person who has been there, doesn't like to reserve tables in hotels when there is something important. It saves trouble.
But it doesn’t seem like everyone is here to congratulate or to express condolences. They just come to pay for a meal and then go back to their respective homes...
Nowadays, when doing things in rural areas, most people invite some cooks to cook at home, and the people who serve the food find people from the same village to liven things up at home.
That saying that became very popular on the Internet in later generations, "No matter how well you do outside, whether you are a manager or chairman, when you come back to the village and say hello to the elders, you will still have to serve food." is actually not a joke.
Rural people also pay attention to face. When someone asks you to help, one means they have a good relationship with you, and the other means you are a good person. If you are very rich, but in the village, everyone in the village ignores you. Basically, if there is any happy event or funeral, no one will welcome you even if you offer gifts.
"At that time, let the people over at the Yang Family Banquet get a freezer truck to transport some seafood." Yang Dongxu nodded and said.
Although it is not like alarming some well-known friends, so as not to put too much pressure on my brother-in-law's family, after all, sometimes the gossip in the countryside is not something you just don't care about.
But I don’t want to make too much noise, and there still needs to be the proper pomp. Not to mention shark fins, king crabs and other seafood that are so expensive that people are speechless.
Some ordinary seafood is considered a rarity when it comes to Yangjiacun. After all, Anhui Province is an inland province and does not produce seafood. Now, neither highways nor cold chain transportation are as developed as in later generations. As for air transportation, it is not a slightly richer country. Things that people in the village dare to think about.
Therefore, seafood, even if it is just crabs that are common in fishing villages, is definitely a new thing on the dining table in Yangjiacun. Whether it tastes good or not, it must have a reputation.
"Then let Yang's family prepare more sea fish and sea cucumbers. Also get some sea shrimps. I'll call mom and talk." After hearing her husband's words, Zhou Ya felt that the seafood maker was paying attention. Not bad, so he waved to Yang Dongxu and went to another room to use the landline to call home.
The dishes for weddings in rural areas should be fresh, but they must be realistic. To put it simply, the quantity should be large and enough. So one person can't actually eat anything like crabs. It's estimated that some old people will start to have toothaches before eating two.
But seafood such as sea fish and sea cucumbers are the same. Larger sea fish don't have many bones, let alone sea cucumbers. Whether it is porridge or stir-fried, the ones with teeth can be eaten very happily.
Seeing his wife and mother discussing this matter, Yang Dongxu took a document from the bedside and read it. Although many families are headed by men, when it comes to weddings like this, it is basically women who organize the arrangements. The man's job is to stand outside and greet the guests.
So after a while, younger sister Dandan and her mother-in-law also joined the discussion. I don’t know how the four people could discuss together on the phone because the communication software does not enable multi-group voice and group video.
