As soon as Li Dong and Shen Qian arrived, the wedding officially began.
At this time, the big shots who had always been punctual also began to arrive at the scene.
At first, it was Li Dong and Shen Qian's classmates, friends, and relatives …
The outside world did not pay attention to these people, and neither did the media.
What they paid attention to was not these people, but the people with social influence.
The first wave of sensation was not others, but Hu Xiaorui.
Hu Xiaorui did not come alone. As the head of East Star and now in control of the northern cinema chain, Hu Xiaorui was now famous in the entertainment industry.
She came with some of the big shots under her company, and there were more than ten cars.
As soon as these people got out of the car, the surrounding reporters talked, "Boss Hu of East Star is here. My goodness, there are more than ten A-list stars. It seems that the face of the richest man is valuable."
"Of course, East Star is Far Away, so of course they have to come to support."
"I heard that East Star and Far Away had a falling out, and Boss Hu bought back General Manager Li's shares. And … and I heard that it was because of love affairs. Tsk tsk, do you think they are going to make a scene? "
"It can't be, where did you get this news from?"
"…"
These people had a wide range of sources. Although some of the news was concealed, it still spread, and everyone began to talk about it.
…
At the entrance of the villa.
As soon as Hu Xiaorui arrived, Li Dong's expression changed slightly, but he still greeted her with a smile, "Xiaorui …"
Hu Xiaorui glanced at him, and then looked at Shen Qian, who walked over, and said after a while, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you."
The conversation between the two was only these four words. After that, Li Dong did not know what to say, and Hu Xiaorui did not speak either.
She then looked at Shen Qian. After a while, Hu Xiaorui said, "You win!"
Shen Qian smiled and said, "Some things can't be judged by winning or losing."
"Maybe. I'm not making a scene today, and I'm not in the mood to do so. Some people think that I, Hu Xiaorui, am here to cause trouble. I'm not that childish or stupid. I give you my blessing for your marriage. I won't say anything else, but you don't have to hide from me like you're hiding from an enemy. You, Li Dong, aren't that popular yet, so don't be so narcissistic. I'm not a child anymore. Don't tell me that in your eyes, I, Hu Xiaorui, only know how to pester endlessly? "
Li Dong laughed dryly, "That's not what I meant …"
"That's good. I'll go in first. You can receive the others."
Today, Hu Xiaorui was different from the past. She spoke in a competent manner. After saying that, she led the celebrities under her banner inside.
These celebrities were not just here to support the wedding. Some of them were also the emcees for the interactive segment later.
And the emcee for the wedding was actually an artist from East Star. Yang Si had already entered the venue. There were a few others who had arrived earlier and were making preparations inside.
When Hu Xiaorui entered, Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief.
Shen Qian glanced at him and did not mention Hu Xiaorui at this time.
…
As Hu Xiaorui arrived, more and more people arrived.
Outside the manor.
Everyone started talking and the media hurriedly took pictures.
"Longhua's CEO Xu is here!"
"Longhu's CEO Wu, Haifeng's CEO Yang, Libai's CEO Chen …"
"Foxing's CEO Guo is here!"
"BYD and Giant's CEO are here too!"
"Suning's Zhang Jindong is here!"
"Midea, Gale, TLC's CEO are here too!"
"Mengniu, Guangming, Huarun, and Bailian's CEO are here too!"
"Baidu's Li Yanhong, Ali's Ma Yun, Sina's Cao Guowei, Shanda's Chen Tianqiao, NetEase's Ding Lei, Tencent … No, the former Tencent's CEO Ma Huateng is here too!"
"Look, Wahaha's CEO Zhong is here with his daughter!"
"CEO Zhong is here too? He rarely attends these events. "
"…"
Everyone was dazzled and felt that their eyes were not enough to take in.
The others were still trying to recognize the guests. More than half of the top ten real estate tycoons were here.
More than half of the manufacturing tycoons were here too.
Among these people, some had business dealings with Far away, some were members of Hua Xia Alumni Association and Entrepreneurs' Club, some were from the same hometown, and some other reasons. They had all received invitations.
Almost everyone who had received an invitation came.
In the end, no one could count them all. The later it was, the more people came, and the faster they arrived.
The Association's CEO, Old Liu, had brought his daughter along. Even Huiyuan's Zhu Xinli had become a nobody.
The current CEO of China Merchants Bank, the CEO of China Mobile, and the Deputy CEO of China Construction Bank …
Although these people were from state-owned enterprises or state-owned enterprises, they were all here. They were not restricted by many restrictions, especially since it was Saturday. They did not have to worry about attending Li Dong's wedding.
This time, everyone was shocked.
They knew that Li Dong's wedding would be grand if he invited guests.
But what was happening now?
More than half of Hua Xia's top 100 companies were here. Half of Hua Xia's tycoons were here. There were more than one or two tycoons from all walks of life.
Even some of Li Dong's rivals were here.
Even if they did not come in person, they had sent their representatives.
Tencent's Ma Huateng, who had been defeated not long ago, was also here to attend the wedding personally.
The combined value of these people and the companies they represented was more than a trillion, maybe even ten trillion!
And they were also the representatives of all walks of life in Hua Xia.
Everyone could imagine that even if the government held a business conference, they might not be able to gather all these people.
As if this was not enough of a surprise, someone exclaimed again, "Changjiang's CEO, Li Zeju, is here!"
"The Jiadori family is here. Why are they here?"
"Li Dong likes to stay in the Peninsula Hotel when he goes to Xiangjiang. Plus, he invested in Far away City. Maybe it's for cooperation …"
"They … they seem to be from the shipping king family. Why are they here? They didn't cooperate with Far away City this time, did they? "
"Well … The tycoons are giving each other face. Who knows what's going on?"
"…"
As a group of people from Xiangjiang's rich families arrived, there was another uproar outside and flashing lights.
Not to mention that Li Dong had invited a large number of tycoons in the mainland, now even a large number of tycoons from Xiangjiang had come. This was different.
This meant that Li Dong's actual influence had spread to Xiangjiang.
Otherwise, these tycoons from Xiangjiang would not have specially attended Li Dong's wedding since they did not have much contact with the mainland businessmen.
After the people from Xiangjiang entered, everyone thought that it was over.
The tycoons from the mainland who should have come had all arrived. The people from Xiangjiang had arrived together. If they wanted to come, they should have arrived just now.
But soon, as a large number of foreigners got off the car, the reporters really did not recognize them.
Everyone was familiar with the people from Xiangjiang, but they did not often meet the big-nosed people. They all looked the same, so it was not easy to recognize them.
Many people were confused. Someone asked, "Which group are they from? Does anyone know them? "
"They … they seem a little familiar. They should be from the investment bank. I saw a few of them at the financing party on Weibo before. They look a little familiar … "
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. Everyone knew that Li Dong had a good relationship with the investment bank.
The so-called good relationship was actually a relationship of mutual benefits. Li Dong brought them the benefits they wanted, and they also helped Li Dong to open up the international market.
However, as long as there was a relationship of interest, that was enough. Although foreigners did not care much about these relationships, if the foreign investors that had taken root in China did not even know this, then they would have wasted their trip to China.
The wedding was a big event. At this time, even if there was no invitation, these people would still come.
Far away, there were still many industries that had not received financing.
When the big-nosed foreigner went in, the people outside breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now there is no one else, right?"
The others also thought that there should be no more people coming. But when a few black cars stopped and several older people got out of the cars, there was no more discussion at the scene.
Even the flashes only flashed at the beginning, and then the people around them stopped taking photos.
When these people left, someone breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jiangbei really has no scruples. Half of the tycoons are here. Aren't they afraid of being gossiped?"
The people who had just left were all big shots in Jiangbei's government.
It was not rare for people from the business and entertainment world to come to Li Dong's wedding.
However, these people had actually come in person. This was not a rare thing, but a risky thing to do.
Someone explained, "Actually, it's understandable. Far away, many people want to poach him. To put it bluntly, what does Jiangbei have?
People will scold Li Dong for being stupid if he takes root here.
At this time, if he doesn't make his stand clear, if he really gets poached, who can bear the loss?
A company with a revenue of 500 billion, a Fortune 500 company, the number one private company in Hua Xia, setting their headquarters in Jiangbei can be said to be the first time in history.
If it were anyone else, they would have done the same.
Don't forget, today is Saturday, a day off. It's not like it's working hours … "
Everyone nodded. But some of them had some thoughts in their minds, but they did not say it out loud.
Most importantly, the bride's father was also here today. He was a real big shot. Regardless of whether he came publicly or not, it was impossible for Jiangbei not to know about this.
They still had to give him face.
It was not good to show up normally, but today was Li Dong's wedding and it was a day off. Far away was a mega-corporation in Jiangbei, and it paid tens of billions of taxes every year. No matter how one looked at it, as long as it was not too high profile, the higher-ups should be able to understand.
None of them discussed these political matters.
Even the few people who had taken the photos did not say anything about letting them go online.
Not to mention that the outside world did not know these people. The more they knew, the more trouble it would be. If they got into trouble later, they would not even know how they got into trouble.
Of course, other than these people, the people in front had nothing to worry about.
At the scene, there were reporters who started a live broadcast with text and pictures.
…
On the Internet.
When they saw the list of those big shots, Weibo, PP, and other social media platforms suddenly exploded.
"D * mn, I was saying that Brother Pao's wedding was a little shabby. In the end, it was a slap in the face. They don't care about the formalities at all. Just this guest list alone is enough to scare a bunch of people to death! "
"I know, right? Brother Pao really doesn't care about the formalities now. In the past, if any of these people came out and attended someone's wedding, they would be bragged about for a few days. But look at it now. Any random brick thrown down there would either kill a billionaire or a representative of a large corporation … "
"If they are all wiped out, do you think the Hua Xia business world will be finished?"
"Previous poster, be careful. If your jinx is right, you'll be in jail for life!"
"…"
Everyone was discussing. This guest list was indeed frighteningly heavy.
If all these big shots were wiped out, it would not be to say that the Hua Xia business world had collapsed, but the economy would definitely regress for many years.
One person's influence was limited. If the heads of hundreds of large corporations were all wiped out, it would take at least two to three years to clean up the mess.
Moreover, if such a situation really happened, the chain reaction would be terrifying.
And it was also at this time that everyone realized what it meant to be the world's richest man.
If Li Dong was not the world's richest man, at least half of the people would not have come today. But the title of the world's richest man was enough to make some people change their minds and choose to attend the banquet personally.
At this time, the so-called celebrity effect did not exist anymore.
Although there were many celebrities who came today, no one talked about them anymore.
It was hard to say which of those giant corporations controlled which entertainment company. Furthermore, the heads of East Star, Huayi, and a few other large entertainment companies were all there. In the eyes of the public, the celebrities were just employees under their companies. Who would pay attention to these people?
…
The media and netizens at the scene were boiling. Countless people hoped to see more.
Unfortunately, these people could not enter the manor.
Moreover, most of the guests who came today were big shots. They did not have the mood to take pictures to show off.
Some of Li Dong and Shen Qian's classmates had some ideas. However, there were many big shots nearby. Moreover, there were many sharp-eyed bodyguards maintaining security at the periphery of the lawn. Even if some people had ideas, they did not dare to take action.
Actually, Li Dong did not prohibit them from taking pictures.
It was normal for some pictures to be circulated at a wedding venue.
However, others did not dare to. Li Dong naturally would not take the initiative to ask them to take pictures. With Du Anmin and the others here, it was good that others did not take pictures, lest it caused unnecessary trouble in the future.
As the guests took their seats, Li Dong and Shen Qian returned to the manor.
At this time, music started playing on the lawn of the manor.
This time, Li Dong's wedding ceremony was held on the lawn. Of course, the banquet was not here but somewhere else.
Everyone would only attend the banquet after the wedding ceremony ended.
The wedding banquet this time did not adopt a buffet style. Usually, a buffet style would be more in line with the atmosphere of a wedding held on such an occasion.
However, Li Dong rejected it without even thinking. According to his original idea, he might as well set up a hundred tables on the lawn and let everyone eat and watch.
It was more suitable to hold a banquet for a Chinese wedding.
In the end, the wedding consultant said that it was really not suitable. In the end, they compromised and chose to hold the wedding ceremony here. They went to the banquet hall of the manor.
When the music started, it meant that the wedding was about to start.
On the beautifully dressed stage, the emcee was already in position.
As for Li Dong, he started to feel a little nervous. The wedding consultant and a few groomsmen beside him kept whispering something to Li Dong, but he did not hear a word.
At this time, Li Dong's mind was actually blank.
