On the other side, Zhang Dachuan had passed through the VIP channel and boarded the private yacht specially designed to receive him.
He was alone, with no female companions and no one he knew, so after boarding the yacht, he stayed alone on the deck to enjoy the night view of the Bund.
Others on the yacht also noticed Zhang Dachuan, but after all, everyone was a person with status, and no one would deliberately come up to disturb him without knowing the root cause.
In this way, Zhang Dachuan was able to calmly arrive at Jiangxin Island on a yacht.
This man-made island covers a large area, somewhat similar to the peninsula villa where the Liang family in Dongjiang lives. In addition to the business conference venue arranged by the General Chamber of Commerce, there are also several villas and estates standing on it.
These villas and estates are located in the outer area of Jiangxin Island, guarding the huge venue in the middle like stars over the moon. The venue has been decorated by the General Chamber of Commerce, and there are blooming flower bonsais and festive red carpets everywhere.
Huge rainbow doors and balloon arches can be seen everywhere, and receptionists stand at every entrance.
Waiters in tuxedos shuttled among them, and long tables filled with wine and fruit bowls could be seen everywhere on the red carpet.
Obviously, the period before the conference starts is a time for everyone to move around freely. People can sip foreign wine and eat fruit plates, look for people they know or want to get to know, talk and move around, and communicate with each other.
For many people, the time before the conference is far more important than the conference itself - if you want to expand your network and complete important transactions and cooperation, this is the moment.
Of course, for VIPs who do not want to be disturbed, they can directly choose to enter the central venue of Jiangxin Island and wait for the start of the conference in the VIP lounge. Otherwise, if they dare to appear in this chaotic peripheral area, they may be immediately Will be surrounded by people.
In addition to the large salon for people to communicate in the main venue, there are also small salon parties held near the villas in the outer areas.
Zhang Dachuan felt strange. After casually asking the security personnel who received him, he got the answer:
"Sir, these villas basically belong to the four major families in Shanghai, so the people gathered around those villas are generally relatives and friends who rely on the industries of the four major families."
Zhang Dachuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"I see."
The four major families in Shanghai have extremely large industries, so the large and small manufacturers or companies that surround these four major families and rely on their industrial chains to survive naturally stand on the same front with them. In this kind of conference, It is normal to gather together and work together.
Because there was still half an hour before the meeting started, Zhang Dachuan declined the idea of entering the center of the venue early. After declining the accompanying General Chamber of Commerce personnel, he wandered around on his own.
He is young and always keeps a low profile, so he is not afraid of anyone recognizing his identity, and he is quite content with it.
Wandering like this, he unknowingly came to the outer area of Jiangxin Island and visited villa after villa.
Just when Zhang Dachuan walked near a huge single-family villa in the northwest corner of Jiangxin Island, he suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from the large villa.
Affected by this, many people gathered around the villa at this moment, looking inside through the low wooden fence.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Dachuan also squeezed in, ready to join in the fun.
As a result, when he saw clearly what was going on inside, his expression suddenly changed.
…
Set the time back to ten minutes ago.
He Tao and others successfully arrived at Jiangxin Island with the passenger ship.
When they got off the boat, Li Qiang and the other four were shocked by the magnificent layout of Jiangxin Island.
The sea of garlands in the central venue, the rainbow arches dotted with villas everywhere, the long tables and barbecue grills like a Western-style open-air party, all made a few young people from ordinary backgrounds eye-opening and extremely enjoyable.
Unsurprisingly, He Tao once again received crazy admiration and thanks from Li Qiang, Qian Yue and Lu Jiajia.
This made him even more proud. He put his hands in his pockets and looked indifferent, but he felt really happy in his heart.
It is indeed not the first time for him to come to this Jiangxin Island, so he can tell a lot about the general situation on the island.
After all, they were ordinary guests. They could not enjoy the service of specialized waiters, so He Tao took the initiative to serve as the commentator, leading Li Qiang and the four of them to leisurely shuttle between the villa salons.
When passing by a long table filled with red wine, He Tao took the initiative to pick up a glass of red wine on the table, shook the red wine glass gracefully, and casually said to Li Qiang and others:
"You can just help yourself to the fine wine and food on the table. You don't have to worry about anyone asking you to charge for it. Everything here is free."
"But you must pay attention to your image and stay elegant, otherwise you will be laughed at as a country bumpkin."
It was the first time for Li Qiang and others to experience this kind of "high-end dinner", and they were a little confused. After hearing the words, they immediately followed He Tao's example and picked up the red wine glasses from the long table while sipping them in imitation. Red wine, while following He Tao, shaking his head.
He Tao glanced at a few people from the corner of his eye. Except for Qiao Lele, the performance of the other three people made him feel ridiculous.
Unconsciously, the four words "monkey bathing and crown" appeared in my mind.
Of course, he would not show this disdain on his face. Instead, he gained a great sense of superiority because of it, as if he was already superior compared to these people.
When passing by a villa, He Tao pointed at the small group of people in the villa and said to the four of them:
"Not all of these single-family villas can be entered casually. If you look at a large and stylish villa like this, you can't just enter it if you want to."
"There are only four such villas in the entire Jiangxin Island, and they belong to the four major families in Shanghai, Lu Xu and Ding Han."
"The people who can enter these villas are basically factory directors and bosses who rely on these four major families for their survival. If you don't have business dealings with these families, you won't be able to integrate into their circles at all."
As he spoke, he pointed to the large villa in front of him and said with a faint smile:
"For example, the building in front of you belongs to the Han family. The people who can gather inside are all businessmen in the Han family's industrial chain, or their downstream suppliers, or from them. The sellers who get the goods may simply be the peripheral children of the Han family... In short, this is the circle of influence of the Han family."
Speaking of this, Li Qiang, the blind guy, spoke at an inappropriate time:
"Brother Tao? Why doesn't your He family have a big villa?"
He Tao's face was a little ugly. He didn't want to say that the He family was not qualified, so he could only pretend not to hear, pointed at the Han family's large villa, and said:
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
