"This is my business card. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm the chairman of the Siberian Mining Company and the Russian Asteroid Mining Company. It's a pleasure to meet you …" An old Russian in a tuxedo handed out his business card in a gentlemanly manner and warmly shook hands with Jiang Chen.
"You, are you really Jiang Chen? Ah, sorry, because my idol is standing in front of me, I was too excited and lost my composure. Are you free tonight? Can I buy you a drink? " A blonde female star in a low-cut evening dress looked at Jiang Chen seductively and didn't care about the smile on the face of his female companion. She was close to the tipping point of her rage.
"Please allow me to propose a toast to you, the executive of the Earth Defense Alliance, the commander in chief of the Earth Fleet, the hero of human civilization …" A Hua entrepreneur smiled, showing his white teeth, extended the champagne in his hand, and clinked glasses with Jiang Chen. "I wish you victory and bring victory and glory back to your hometown."
"…"
Melodious music played in the banquet hall, saving Jiang Chen from the encirclement of flattery and flattery.
The male and female guests put down their glasses and walked to the center of the dance floor hand in hand. Under the lead of Tang Weijie and his wife, the second stage of the banquet began.
"This kind of wine glass is really interesting. Is there a magnet at the bottom?"
Because he didn't know how to dance, Jiang Chen took Xia Shiyu's hand and walked to the long table in the lounge area. After he finished the red wine in the glass, he turned the glass upside down and looked at the bottom of the glass. He touched a very metallic part.
In order to prevent wine glasses from flying around in the low-gravity environment, the long table covered with red cloth was equipped with magnets to attract the goblets placed on it. Not only the wine glasses, but also the trays with food.
Although life on the Moon was full of inconveniences, the creativity of the working people was infinite. From the people dancing on the dance floor, it could be seen that everyone was enjoying the banquet with extreme joy.
"How do you feel? Is this banquet to your liking? "
At the end of the banquet, Tang Weijie held his wine glass, held his wife's hand, and walked to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Very good. I am relieved to see that the citizens of Lunar City live such a comfortable life." Jiang Chen clinked glasses with him.
Tang Weijie's wife looked very young, only about 20 years old. Judging from her mature and steady manner of speaking, she should also be a young lady from a prestigious family. At the very least, her birth would not be mediocre. With just a few words, she quickly established a good relationship with Xia Shiyu.
After the men began to talk about business, she and Xia Shiyu walked to the side and chatted about topics only women would talk about.
"It's not exactly comfortable." Tang Weijie smiled and took a sip of red wine. He then said humbly, "I can only say that we're trying to find a lifestyle that suits us. I remember when we first started working here, we spent all our time in the gravity room daydreaming. Before the underground city was built, there wasn't much entertainment on this barren planet. "
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Chen raised his glass. "I will remember this for you."
"Not at all. This is what I should do. I don't dare to claim credit for it." Tang Weijie clinked his glass with Jiang Chen and said humbly.
"The model of Lunar City can be applied to other colonies, such as the Mars colony, and Himalia in the future. You provided a reference template for Celestial Trade's space colonization plan. How is that not a credit? There's no point in being humble anymore. "Jiang Chen put down the glass, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
Just as the two of them were chatting, a slightly old white man in a tuxedo walked into the banquet hall. He stretched his neck and looked around the venue. Soon, his eyes lit up. He found the target he was looking for and walked over.
While chatting with Tang Weijie about the colony, Jiang Chen saw a somewhat familiar man walking towards him.
Before he could speak, a smile appeared on the man's face, and he extended his right hand to greet him.
"We meet again, Mr. Jiang Chen."
When he shook hands with this man, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered where he had seen this face. But to be honest, after not seeing him for so long, he almost forgot about him.
"You are … Mr. Loki?"
"It seems that you haven't forgotten me." Loki let go of his hand and joked in a mocking tone, but he didn't care that Jiang Chen didn't immediately recognize him.
Not to mention someone like him who had been behind the scenes for a long time and rarely appeared in public. People of different races were born with a face blindness buff. It was already impressive that Jiang Chen could still remember him.
To be honest, he was ready to introduce himself again.
"… But, why are you here?" Jiang Chen looked at him inexplicably and frowned slightly. "I mean, shouldn't you be in B City now? Why are you here … "
"To be precise, I was in Celestial City eleven hours ago. When I was about to find you, I learned that you had left. Coincidentally, there happened to be a flight to Lunar City ready to depart, so I came. " Loki smiled. "It just so happens that our consortium has invested in a rare earth mining company in Lunar City. Otherwise, I would have to worry about how to get an invitation."
"Really? That's too much of a coincidence, "Jiang Chen said emotionlessly.
B City Consortium was too resourceful. There just happened to be a flight to Lunar City, and he just happened to get a ticket a few minutes before boarding? Although it was not the tourist season, the ticket didn't seem to be so easy to buy, right?
The ticket must have been bought a few days in advance.
"It seems that you may have something to talk about. I'll leave first." Seeing that he couldn't get a word in, Tang Weijie left with his wife.
Loki looked at the direction Tang Weijie left, smiled, then looked at Jiang Chen and said politely.
"I don't know if it's convenient for us to talk in private?"
"It's not a gentleman's move to leave a female companion alone at a banquet. Mr. Loki, what do you think?"
Loki heard the faint rejection in Jiang Chen's words, and his eyebrows raised.
Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen and just wanted to tell him that she didn't mind, but she was stopped by Jiang Chen's eyes.
From the time when the Rothschild family was still around, he didn't have a good impression of the "Wasps" on Wall Street.
The two sides formed an alliance a long time ago to fight against the Freemasonry led by the Rothschild family. However, these Wall Street capitalists were all cunning. When Celestial Trade and the Freemasonry fought, they didn't contribute, but they were ruthless in taking advantage of the situation.
After the fall of the Rothschild family, Morgan, Rockefeller, and several other WASP consortiums decisively took action and cut the two juiciest pieces of meat from the veteran capital giant – Vale of Brazil and BHP Mining Group.
These trophies should have belonged to Celestial Trade.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Jiang Chen gave them a good attitude.
Loki wasn't surprised by Jiang Chen's indifference. He smiled, raised the goblet in his hand, took a sip of the red wine, and sighed.
"Oh? Even if what I want to talk about is related to the CIB? "
