The party was set for the 15th of November.
Jiang Chen didn't expect Robert to invite the famous Hollywood director Christopher Nolan. He vaguely remembered Nolan's salary when he filmed Star Trek was 20 million USD. Why would he be interested in a 10 million USD business?
But Robert quickly answered his confusion.
"Buddy, there's a difference between a documentary and a movie. Especially since it's just a documentary for a party. Are you planning to make a corporate culture advertisement into Star Trek? "
10 million USD with a production period of less than a month and no need to worry about the box office. Where else could he find such a great opportunity?
Most importantly, he could also connect with Future Group …
After half a month of preparation, the day of the party finally arrived. In addition to Future Group's executives and outstanding employees, almost all partners with significant business dealings with Future Group received invitations.
But the final number of visitors exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations. Not only did it far exceed the 1000 guests, but it was even approaching 2000. Fortunately, the planner, Pajanel, was prepared for this. He transferred 40 long tables and other decorations to the beach. He also urged the team of chefs who provided food and drinks to prepare 40 more long tables.
Carmen Rothschild couldn't attend due to an important matter, but he still sent a representative with a gift from the Rothschild family.
Other than Mr. Carmen who was absent, the most influential people at the party were B City Consortium's Carson Loki and Saudi Crown Prince Yerif. Other than these two, the president of Walmart who worked with Future Life Group, the president of Future Heavy Industrial's partner Luer Automotive, the eldest son of the Liu family Liu Yunzhong, Xiangjiang's famous real estate developer Mr. Chen, and more than a hundred entrepreneurs were also invited.
With so many famous people attending, the party that was originally meant to be a celebration within the company had unknowingly "changed" its flavor. It now had the style of an upper-class party.
Because the invitation allowed a maximum of three friends and family, other than the invited people, a lot of people "came uninvited" with their friends. Among them, there were internationally renowned entrepreneurs, famous Hollywood movie stars, and even upper-class ladies and socialites …
All of them, without exception, wanted to climb up the tree known as Future Group.
Even if they couldn't climb up the tree, they could use this party as an opportunity to get to know a lot of people that could help their careers.
…
Melodious music circled around the island, adding a touch of grace to the primitive southern scenery.
Sitting in the most secluded corner of the party, Jiang Chen was planning to meet his old friend Robert, but a bunch of people crowded around him. It reminded him of two and a half years ago when he was fortunate enough to attend Yerif's birthday party for his princess. He was also sitting in the corner of the banquet hall, but the only one who approached him was the banquet's security.
He vaguely remembered that the security guard's name was Bruce, a mercenary of Blackwater Company. His reason for striking up a conversation was that the mercenary had smelled the scent of his own kind on him.
But now, even if he went to the toilet, there would be Hollywood actresses in low-cut dresses at the door, trying to trick him.
"No one cares about the poor in the busy city, but the rich in the deep mountains have distant relatives." Come to think of it, this sentence was really f * cking reasonable!
Recalling the past made one sigh incessantly.
A group of passionate people surrounded Jiang Chen like stars surrounding the moon. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, had a smile on his face and handled the situation with ease. Whether it was his speech or his behavior, they all displayed the etiquette that exceeded their expectations.
The people who visited this time were either rich or powerful. Since they came to him with warm faces, he couldn't possibly give them the cold shoulder.
Other than the international merchants whose names he couldn't name, other than the partners of Future Group, there were only a few Hollywood stars that Jiang Chen could name. Although he couldn't recognize foreigners, he could still match the faces to the names in the movies he liked to watch.
For example, Jeremy Renner, who played Sergeant William James in "The Hurt Locker" and played the role of Hawkeye in "Team America 3". Tom Cruise, the male lead of the "Mission: Impossible" series.
Jiang Chen was also a fan of the "Mission: Impossible" series, but he didn't expect to see his favorite character in a place outside of the screen like this.
"Thank God."
"You can thank him in person!"
After matching the lines, the two laughed and Jiang Chen and Tom's fists bumped together. This line was a classic dialogue in "Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol", so Jiang Chen remembered it very clearly.
"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang Chen to have seen the movie I acted in." Tom smiled, revealing his white teeth, and shook Jiang Chen's hand.
"Not only have I seen it, but I'm also your fan." Jiang Chen laughed in a half-joking tone.
"That's an honor!" No wonder he was the best actor. Tom made a comical expression of being flattered and immediately attracted the laughter of the people around him.
At this time, a blonde beauty with champagne walked into the circle and stood next to Jiang Chen. Her red lips were slightly pursed as she freely joined the conversation.
"I don't know if I also have the honor? I acted in the movie Mr. Jiang watched. "
A very familiar face. Jiang Chen only looked for half a second before he successfully matched her appearance with the movie he watched.
"Of course … I remember you are Hermione!"
Emma Watson! Jiang Chen, who watched Harry Potter grow up, of course would recognize this face.
Speaking of which, Miss Watson was also the product spokesperson of Future Biology nutrient supply.
"That's right!"
She gently combed the wavy hair on her temples, tilted her head, and raised her chin. Emma Watson, with a cold and arrogant aura, was carved from the same mold as Hermione in Harry Potter!
This statement seemed a bit strange. After all, she was the one who played the role …
"Oh! What an enviable guy, he actually got a kiss from Ms. Jessica! I drove a Ferrari and courted her with roses in my hand, but she refused to go on a date with me, "a tall white youth said enviously.
"It's just a kiss on the cheek, and that's nothing! Look over there, oh my god, it's actually the movie queen Jennifer Lawrence! God, she's my idol! "The fat man who came with him was shocked.
"Fu * k, it's true! Even the movie queen is here! "The tall man looked over and suddenly jumped up in shock.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had been sitting on the side for a long time glanced at the two people who were shocked and said emotionlessly, "What's so strange about this? This banquet is of high standards. Since the Saudi Crown Prince and B City Consortium are here, it's not strange that these movie stars are here …"
However, the two people didn't notice his statement. Another celebrity appeared, and the tall man suddenly shouted to his companion in shock.
"Fu * k, Jiang Chen's charm is insane!"
"It's not Jiang Chen's charm, it's the charm of his money. Without Future Group, he's not that great … "The middle-aged man acted like he understood as he said emotionlessly.
The feeling of being ignored was not pleasant. This time, he raised his voice in an attempt to attract the two's attention.
The old man who was passing by with a glass of champagne heard this, and he couldn't help but show an interested expression. He stopped and interrupted.
"Oh? I happen to have the opposite opinion. I think without Jiang Chen, Future Group is not that great. "
"What a stupid statement. I don't agree with you. May I ask which company do you run?" The middle-aged man curled his lips in disdain.
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head.
"It's not convenient to say …"
[So it's a small fry that popped out from nowhere. He must've gotten a free ride from his friend …]
The disdain in the middle-aged man's eyes intensified. However, while he was thinking about this, he didn't realize that he wasn't invited. He was only invited because of his business friend.
But after he entered, he didn't manage to establish a relationship with Jiang Chen who was surrounded by international celebrities. He didn't even get his business card. Because of this, he was a bit angry. From the suit the old man was wearing, he couldn't tell what brand it was, but it must be cheap …
"Is it not convenient to say? It's fine. I own a high tech company in Silicon Valley. I think I'm quite convincing in the internet-related field. "
The middle-aged man took out a business card from his pocket and put it in front of the old man with two fingers.
The old man scanned the address on the business card with interest. He laughed and didn't take the business card.
"California Cosedge Software? Interesting name. "
"Thank you for the compliment. We are currently in the first round of financing. If the financing is successful, we will receive an investment of 70 million USD. "The middle-aged man took back the business card and a curvature appeared on his face.
"Is that so? If it's just equity, then First B City Bank is one of my assets, "Carson Loki said thoughtfully with a glass of champagne in his hand.
The business card didn't go back into his pocket. Instead, it moved ten inches and inserted into the champagne glass on the long table.
The middle-aged man's chin drooped as he looked at the old man's face. His mouth was so wide open that a goose egg could be stuffed inside!
"You, you are Carson Loki."
[God, what did I just say to this old man?!]
The middle-aged man's face turned pale. He wanted to slap himself. He thought the old man looked familiar, but he didn't expect him to be Carson Loki!
But Carson didn't argue with him. He only responded to his blank stare with a mocking smile.
"That's me. We only invest in companies with a bright future. We don't participate in the company's operations. "
