Chapter 724 Uninvited guests
Garden Street, Kensington Palace, London. Bookmark this site┏┛
At 7:30 pm, the door opened and the guests arrived one after another. Warren East arrived in front of the door and was a little uncomfortable. For him, when attending such occasions, he only wore casual suits and didn't even wear a tie, which always gave him the feeling of running naked in front of everyone.
The mansion was very lively at this time, covering all races except black people. Easter couldn't help but wonder, if the details of the party tonight were disclosed, would the fighters give Feng An a hat of racial discrimination?
This can only be said to be quite unfortunate. There are only black colleagues in Cummins and his team.
He had just said hello to his new colleague in the UK, the Hamm who had recently replaced the Aston Martin, and heard someone shouting upstairs, "Hi, Warren,"
He knew who it was as soon as he heard the sound, "Happy holiday, Feng," he walked up with the wine in his hand.
The new boss is still wearing the red round-neck sweater he wore in the morning, holding a glass of wine, and standing with Infineon's Peter Ball. Haha, he probably didn't really change his clothes.
He looked at the faces he knew but unfamiliar to the upper and lower floors - because he had only seen them on various reports before, and he was sure that those people must have been the same, and it was the first time he had attended such a casual high-end dinner.
Feng Yiping smiled and took the wine, and glanced at it, "Thank you, come here, what gift do you have to bring?"
Easter thought, this is etiquette, my boss.
However, some of the small details he noticed still made him feel good about this young new boss again.
He believed that the boss really didn't know how rare the bottle of red wine he gave him - it should be said to be Port wine (it is also red wine, but foreigners usually express the two separately). He already knew that his new boss, let alone a nobleman, was not even a qualified rich man. For example, he didn't know much about red wine at all.
But he still took a serious look at the bottle of wine he gave - although he believed he could not see anything, the butler standing beside him must have seen the difference between the bottle of wine. Easter noticed that the butler was very careful when he took the wine from the boss.
Yes, this is the 1966 Gramport wine, the last batch of Port wine produced before Gram Company was acquired. This bottle of 1966 Gramport wine produced by the top Port winery in Douro, a well-known Portuguese production area. It is generally considered to be one of the best wines in the second half of the 20th century, and has long been difficult to find on the market.
The latest public report was in 2006, and a well-known wine taster commented, "The taste is soft and smooth as cream - magnificent!"
It was by chance that he was able to buy such a bottle.
Although Portuguese's largest exporter is now in France, the sales place of high-end and high-quality Portuguese port wine is still in the UK, where port wine was invented. Therefore, in some inconspicuous wine cellars in the UK, there is probably such a precious wine, but the bottles are already covered with dust, which is difficult to know.
But the boss at least took a serious look. This was also a very polite and caring behavior, and it was not taken by the butler, but by him, which made East feel respectful.
He had not visited other rich people's homes before. Those who were worth nothing compared to the person in front of him had similar jobs, and they were completely handled by servants, and they didn't even look at them.
"Happy New Year, Feng!" He said again.
"Warren, please feel free, the dinner begins soon," Feng Yiping really patted his shoulder this time, but Easter was no longer resistant to such a move.
"Oh sorry," Feng Yiping looked downstairs and said, "I'll lose my companion for a while,"
Easter glanced downstairs and saw two Indians coming in. He knew both, one was the well-known steel king Mittal. Easter also knew that he also had a luxury house in Kensington Palace, and the other was Ladan Tata, the head of the Tata Group. One thing he did not long ago was to acquire the British car brand Jaguar Land Rover from Ford.
He looked at Feng Yiping and the two Indian tycoons' enthusiastic hugs, and smiled and said to Peter Ball, "Congratulations, Ball,"
…………
Downstairs, Feng Yiping warmly greeted Mital and Ladan, "Hello Mital, Mr. Ladan, why are you here too?"
"Just fly over, so I'll give you a surprise," Ladan smiled, "Happy New Year, Feng,"
"This is not a frightening!"
"How could it be, it's very welcome,"
"Haha," Ladan smiled, and he whispered in Feng Yiping's ear, "There is one of your friends who comes with me,"
Feng Yiping saw his smile and knew that it should be Marika. He thought about Huang Jingping, and this was a bit scared. It must be because he went to Munich and it spread out, so Marika came over.
Looking at Laden's meaningful smile, he said, "Thank you,"
"She took the initiative to ask to stay in the hotel. That's our good girl in India," said Ladan.
"Well, I'm also a good guy from China," said Feng Yiping, who was relieved.
Mital walked over and grabbed Feng Yiping, "Feng, my friend, can you give me a few minutes?"
Ladan immediately walked away with a smile, Feng Yiping immediately felt that this was probably not a good thing. Sure enough, Mittal said, "Feng, I must introduce our company's business to you again. Yes, although steel is our main business, in addition to this, we also have the Internet,"
When Feng Yiping heard what he said, he knew what he was doing.
I knew that Mital was only involved in the Internet, so when he formed the Indian version of Taobao, he was not invited to participate.
"Mittal, e-commerce is actually a systematic project, and we will have many opportunities to cooperate,"
But since Mital came to him on his own initiative, that's great.
In a country like India with backward infrastructure, investment in infrastructure will certainly not be small. This is the world's largest steel supplier.
Furthermore, the Indian version of Taobao and Alipay were originally a project that needed localization, bringing together the Mital family, Mukesh Ambani family, and the Tata family. He believes that there will be no problem with this project from now on.
Of course, this will also help other businesses under its umbrella, such as Facebook, and some future products, in India.
Mital, who was still very serious just now, immediately smiled, "I think so too, Feng, you will definitely have a chance to see our strength in the Internet,"
He and Feng Yiping met for a while, "Then we'll make up,"
Feng Yiping also smiled, "I'm sure!"
He thought to himself that from now on, it would be difficult for those local startups in India to make a difference in the Internet field in the future!
At that time, they will find that no matter which direction they want to start a business, they will not be able to avoid the trust of Feng Yiping and others.
There is nothing wrong with this, isn't it?
Wu Qian came over with her cell phone. Feng Yiping glanced at him and said to Mital, "The dinner began soon. I will lose my companion for a while."
He took the phone from Wu Qian and walked to the side. Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly followed him and separated the others with Wu Qian. He vaguely heard Feng Yiping greeting there, "Mr. President, thank you..."
Which president called the boss to congratulate him?
"...If everything goes well, I will go to Silicon Valley in half a month. Oh, there may be something really..."
The butler immediately understood, oh, it turned out to be the president!
Feng Yiping and Xiao Ao Hei talked for two or three minutes, and when he returned the phone to Wu Qian, he asked the butler, "Have you arrived?"
"Yes, sir, I'll wait for you," he looked outside the door and frowned, "I'm sorry, I'll go over and take a look,"
Wu Qian also looked out, looked at the two people who came down from Rolls-Royce, and searched for a while, "Yiping, that's the presidents of UBS and Credit Suisse,"
"Oh," Feng Yiping nodded, and Wu Qian also walked out. After a while, they accompanied two of Switzerland's most famous bankers. These two financial giants, which are rare financial people, said to Feng Yiping with a smile, "It's admonishing,"
He also said that it was a bit late because he came from Switzerland after getting the news.
Feng Yiping's family is also a knowledgeable butler. He thinks that the amount of information is a bit large. He has seen an uninvited guest, but this is the first time he has met the CEOs of UBS and Credit Suisse banks.
Not only him, when the two appeared in the restaurant, even people like Mital and Laden were shocked. They quickly had a lot of speculation, but those speculations were quickly eliminated, leaving only one.
Therefore, they all knew that Feng Yiping should be repositioned.
Chapter completed!
