September 28th.
Damons, Harley, and Rice were invited to a cocktail party hosted by Kuhn Lebo CEO Wilson.
The music played by the band spread to every corner of the hall. Damons, a veteran, took the two rookies and stood in an inconspicuous corner. Looking at the guests invited by Schiff one after another, Damons took the initiative. Introducing two newbies.
"That's the mayor of Apple, and he's the boss of Bloomberg News..."
"That golden retriever is a real estate boss, and the tall beauty he is holding his arm is his daughter. I heard she seems to be working as a model...
"That short-haired beauty is Eva, the president of M Group. I don't know much about M Group. I heard that the boss behind the scenes is a Chinese. Now M Group has focused on Europe and Asia, and the American part has been handed over to Eva... "
"This is Le Siver, the new CEO of the Quantum Fund. He is very mysterious. I only know that he is an Albarian and is very good at mathematics. Hahaha, maybe Les, a nerd like you, might not be as good as someone else... "
"Those three are the vice presidents of Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers."
"And those few..."
As he was talking, Damons suddenly got stuck. Harley and Les followed his line of sight and saw only a few black guys in suits who looked nondescript, surrounded by some people who also felt different from the others.
It feels like these people are a little out of place with some of the previous big guys, and Les and Harley also have subtle looks on their faces.
"Well, they're all Hollywood stars."
When the two heard this, they immediately showed expressions of understanding.
Next, Damons introduced the other guests one by one. Except for a few heavyweights that Wilson invited to this banquet, the other three people regarded them as people who usually came to make up the numbers.
Oh, it’s not that the quality of this group of people is not good and they don’t have money in their pockets, but it’s just that they are just trying to make up the numbers when compared with the status of the previous ones.
Politicians seeking sponsorship, bald and fat traders, red-necked farmers whose families own mines, colorfully dressed courtesans and arrogant ladies, some even looked like they had rented expensive outfits and bought banquet tickets. Come in.
Well, this is also a traditional performance of the Eagle Sauce family, because the theme of today's banquet is charity.
There are charity banquets everywhere in the United States. You can rent a decent outfit and spend one or two thousand dollars to buy a ticket to get in.
Charity, as soon as you hear this word, you will know that you are going to donate money. It is impossible for me to want to donate money and do good deeds, and I have to ask for an invitation letter. This does not make sense.
As a result, this kind of charity banquet is very popular among those who are obsessed with squeezing into the upper class, because on this occasion you may meet the head of a powerful department of the Black Palace, the president of a well-known Wall Street investment bank, and even occasionally Silicon Valley. Among those big guys, there is also the famous leek stock god Buffett.
If you are lucky, you might be able to see these real people who usually only appear in newspapers and news at hundreds of charity banquets. If you are thick-skinned, you can go up and chat for more than ten minutes without any problem.
Everyone in Blue Star knows that the chance to win and dine with Buffett in person is very expensive every time. But in the United States, for less than two thousand dollars, there is a more than ten percent chance of being on Buffett's level. People are nagging, this kind of lethality is very large.
Therefore, the reason why the charity industry in the United States is so prosperous is that in addition to tax avoidance, it is also a very important reason that big bosses often come to beg for money.
However, everyone knows that most of the chatter is just a few casual remarks. It may seem familiar, but at least it leaves an impression. This kind of thing is still very popular among relevant groups.
Therefore, the composition of the people who came today was very complex, and most of them met the standards of the fat sheep in the eyes of the three people. Even those heavyweights felt that there was a high possibility of being deceived by Wilson.
Not long after, Wilson in a suit appeared in front of everyone.
"Dear guests, thank you for being invited to attend today's charity dinner..."
After hearing this, Les asked quietly: "Am I going to donate money today?"
Although he can now be considered to have upgraded to level n and can expect to earn tens of millions of dollars a year, after all, he really doesn't have much money in his pocket at this time. If he needs to donate money later, he only has a few Franklins in his pocket, and other cards here. People are very guilty.
It’s impossible for him to donate only a few hundred when others are donating tens or hundreds of thousands, right?
But Damons looked calm: "It's okay."
At this time, Wilson at the front desk said: "I will personally donate five million dollars."
There was a burst of applause in the hall, and everyone smiled politely.
Demons went on to explain for Harley and Rice: "Today's money will go into a charitable fund run by Vice President Rogan's wife."
Both of them showed understanding expressions.
After Wilson finished his speech, the normal banquet began, and the music in the hall started again.
Most of the people in the hall immediately formed small circles, and the remaining half of the people shuttled between the circles from time to time.
At this time, Wilson and Le Sciver started chatting alone while holding wine glasses, but after chatting for a few words, Sciver felt something was wrong.
"Wilson, Quantum Fund is in urgent need of large sums of money to solve its debt problem. Look at these contracts..."
Wilson cursed in his heart, feeling that he made a mistake today, he should not have invited the Quantum Fund!
Today I want to find a group of fat sheep to take over the deal, and I can lose as much as I can, but why the hell did I forget that the Quantum Fund is now too poor to open the pot?
Soros lost more than 100 billion in Southeast Asia. If Quantum Fund is rich now, it will be a fool.
He just declined politely: "Sifu, we at Kunlebo have recently had several big projects, and we can't raise much funds for the time being. I even want to sell some contracts."
Immediately, Le Sciver began to murmur in his heart. Although the reason for rejection was very good, he just felt that the other party was perfunctory. He looked at Wilson and asked tentatively.
"Are you in a hurry to take action too?"
Wilson was also stunned after hearing this, as if he felt something, and looked at Sifu intently.
No way! ! !
After the two people's eyes collided affectionately for a while, they both understood something in an instant, and their hearts suddenly started to curse.
The idiotic Quantum Fund (Kun Lebo) also wants to run away!
But Silver immediately said: "Cooperation?"
Wilson understood immediately and nodded at the speed of light: "Done!"
After reaching a simple agreement, both of them had smiles on their faces. The confrontation in just a few seconds made them understand that both parties were now in the same boat. Instead of tearing each other down and holding back each other, it was better to find other goals together.
The risk of exposure when Quantum Fund comes forward to sell goods is also much smaller.
So the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and turned their attention to several other heavyweight players, especially the three peers on Wall Street.
But at this time, another crisp voice came in.
"Boy, M Group has decided to adjust its business scope due to the recent series of black swan events. I have a batch of MBS contracts in my hand, I don't know..."
Fuck, you want to run away too? !
Siver and Wilson looked at Eva who had walked up to them at some point, and cursed again in their hearts. This time, they stopped pretending and said in unison: "We also need to adjust our business scope!"
Eva was also stunned immediately.
