Chapter 746: Zipperton's Banquet
? "Jason, you are welcome, otherwise today's dinner will lose a lot of color."
After leaving the White House for many years, Zipperton's aura of kingship has subsided a lot, and his friendly smile is the same as before, but compared with the past, this smile is more sincere.
Looking at Zipperton with gray and white curly hair, Yang Cheng couldn't get in touch with the person who caused the zipper door incident. In fact, he had sex news more than once or twice.
This absurd thought was swept away, Yang Cheng nodded with a smile, "Mr. Zipperton is too polite, I was not able to attend the dinner in DC last time, but I regretted it for a long time, this time I can't miss anything .”
Zipperton had other guests to take care of, so he didn't have time to be polite to Yang Cheng, so after a few words of greeting, he asked the waiter to take Yang Cheng to the table, while he continued to greet the other guests.
Yang Cheng took Susu's hand and followed the waiter to the first table on the right side of the stage. At this time, there were only two vacancies left at this round table that could seat 10 people. You don't need to look at the nameplate on the table to know that it is Leave it to Yang Cheng and the two of them.
However, to Yang Cheng's surprise, the guests at the same table were all Chinese. Apart from a few bigwigs from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, there were also two guests from country Z. For these two, he was very famous in his previous life. Jingdong's board of directors Chairman and CEO Liu Dong and his even more famous milk tea girlfriend were looking at him with surprised and inexplicable expressions.
To be honest, compared to Liu Dong's achievements, Yang Cheng cares more about the women around him. There is no way, who makes milk tea have the supreme status in the hearts of countless nerds? This representative of the pure department, his life is enough to write a book Book, the title of the book is "How to Fall in Love with Your Uncle"? Such an ugly title, once you hear it, it won't sell well!
Well, jokes are jokes. Liu Dong can start from scratch with his own ability. Yang Cheng admires that alone. As for the quality of his personality, as an outsider, he is not qualified to judge too much without knowing the truth. Before there is any conclusive evidence for the incident, let's be a melon eater honestly. If there is real evidence, it will not be too late to scold his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Not to mention Liu Dong, the milk tea at this time still looks childish, and the clothes are still a bit petty. On the girl side, this plain floral dress and simple light makeup are in stark contrast to the gorgeous surroundings, and I always feel that I am not suitable for such an occasion.
While Yang Cheng was looking at the two of them, why wasn't Liu Dong observing Yang Cheng?
This is not the first time he has come to the United States. Last year, Jingdong was the first to land in the United States and listed on NASDAQ before Ahri, creating a market value of 30 billion US dollars. His personal net worth is also approaching the 6 billion US dollar mark. It is also considered in country Z. An out-and-out rich man.
It's just that this net worth is not enough in front of Yang Cheng. Although the superficial wealth of the two is almost the same, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Yang Cheng's company has not yet been listed, and his identity as the heir of the Yang family has not been counted in his personal wealth. Not to mention the current status of New Era Media in the American media circle, especially his black hair and yellow skin face, which is particularly eye-catching in the white world.
And Liu Dong, who is visiting the United States this time, besides accompanying his girlfriend to prepare for the big wedding in the near future, he also wants to use the opportunity of participating in various social activities to expand his contacts and business circle as much as possible, as a potential contact target. It is worth adding three asterisks after Yang Cheng's name.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that they met at the banquet in Zizton, and they were still at the same table. If Liu Dong didn't know how to grasp this god-given opportunity, he wouldn't be qualified to sit here.
After Yang Cheng took his seat, Liu Dong hesitated for a moment, then greeted Yang Cheng in English with a strong accent, "Hello, Mr. Yang,
I'm Liu Dong from Jingdong Group in Country Z. Nice to meet you. "
Yang Cheng turned around when he heard the sound, saw the familiar face, couldn't help smiling, and replied in Mandarin, "I know you, Mr. Liu, your Jingdong Group is one of the largest e-commerce platforms in country Z, and you started Your experience is even more admirable, so it is my honor to meet you."
Hearing the familiar language and Yang Cheng's answer, no matter if it was true or false, Liu Dong couldn't help being overjoyed.
The milk tea beside him showed respect to Yang Cheng with a pure and sweet smile.
Liu Dong, who was praised by Yang Cheng, hurriedly said modestly, "Jingdong still has a long way to go in the future, but I have the confidence to remove one of Mr. Yang's words and become the largest e-commerce platform in country Z."
Liu Dong, who has always been Ari and Jack Ma's old enemies, never forgets to fight against his opponents, and this self-confidence from the bottom of his heart makes Yang Cheng miss it very much. In his previous life, he often watched it on the Internet and on TV. Arrived, heard.
Of course, he did not express any opinion on this, but just smiled and said nothing. Seeing that Liu Dong was a little embarrassed, he changed the subject, "By the way, is Mr. Liu coming to New York this time for business?"
Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead, "I almost forgot to introduce, this is my fiancée Zhang Zetian, just call her Xiaotian, this trip to the United States is also to prepare for the wedding."
Yang Cheng showed a surprised expression at the right time, "Really? Congratulations, this is a great happy event. The company was successfully listed, and now it is back with a beautiful woman. Mr. Liu is a winner in life."
Liu Dong couldn't hide his pride, "Thank you, this is also the thing I'm most proud of in my life."
The two had a pleasant chat. After a brief chat, Yang Cheng suddenly asked curiously, "Mr. Liu and Zizidun also have a personal relationship?"
He asked this question because he was really confused. It stands to reason that Liu Dong and Zi Zidun should not have socialized, and Liu Dong might not be ignorant of the true nature of this dinner. he.
In this way, he is still willing to attend, and this purpose is worth pondering. Is he also planning to take the express train of Mrs. Zipperton and pave the way for Jingdong's development in the United States?
Liu Dong didn't think too much about it, and said truthfully, "Mr. Yang should also know that no matter where he develops, he will inevitably deal with the local dignitaries. I don't have a lot of channels to get acquainted, so I can only rely on my current status to keep wandering in social circles." In any case, striving to establish a good relationship with these celebrities will have a positive effect on Jingdong’s survival in the United States.”
His words seemed to be very sincere, but Yang Cheng couldn't tell if he wasn't telling the truth, but when the two met for the first time, there were some things that couldn't be explored too much, so he had to turn the topic over.
