Chapter 1550 Cocktail Party

In Hong Kong, Luo Xinlan, the executive director of Baohua Hotel Group, was talking on the phone with a smile on her face. She used standard Mandarin and a bit of cuteness in her words, "Yes, Director Xu, yes, such a rare occasion, I also want to see the world,"

"I know you are very capable, and the requirements are not high. Just one quota is fine, as long as I can participate. Please, I will definitely treat you to a meal next time,"

Originally, with her family background, reputation, and personal conditions, she should be able to make such a rare promise to a male official, but today, it really doesn't work.

The director on the other side was not moved at all, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, your request is really beyond my ability, I really can't do anything about it,"

"No, I know Director Xu, you will definitely have a way, please... Director Xu, hello?"

The other party actually hung up the phone.

This really made Luo Xinlan a little unbelievable. He actually hung up on me?

Her first reaction was not to think of other ways, but to immediately run to the lounge and look in the mirror carefully. No, I am still in my prime and beautiful!

Then why did he hang up on me?

She became confident again, but she was frowning. As soon as she closed the door of the lounge, her brother Luo Zhonghao put his hands in his trouser pockets, hummed a little song, and walked in lazily, "Looking in the mirror again? Mr. Luo, please, can you concentrate on your work?"

"What's the matter?" Luo Xinlan said impatiently.

"Is the cocktail party settled?" Luo Zhonghao asked.

Luo Xinlan didn't speak.

"So it's not settled? Then you actually have the mood to look in the mirror?" Luo Zhonghao said loudly.

"Please go back to your office if you have nothing to do, don't disturb me at work," Luo Xinlan sat down and rubbed her forehead in annoyance. It seems that it should be impossible to ask these officials she has dealt with to help her get tickets for tonight's cocktail party.

She knew the power of Director Xu and her promise to treat him to a meal, and how attractive it was to him, but he was indifferent to such a condition. It seemed that it was beyond his ability.

There were officials who were within his ability, but she didn't know them.

So, if she wanted to go, she could only think of other ways.

She opened her address book and prepared to find connections to contact those people in Hong Kong who seemed qualified to attend the reception to see if they could take her in.

Of course, the chances were not great either. I'm afraid that many people today had the same idea.

She was right. After the news of the reception spread, many Hong Kong businessmen like her family, who had certain strength but not very strong, and had connections in the mainland but not too high-end, had the same idea as her and contacted the wealthy families in Hong Kong who were said to have been invited.

These people's families included Luo Zhonghao and his group, who had tried to make Feng Yiping suffer in San Francisco, but ended up causing themselves a big trouble.

Those who had accompanied their children and nephews to Silicon Valley to apologize to Feng Yiping, now hate those useless people in the family to death. When there was such a person around, not only did they not think about making friends, but they even went against him?

I don’t know if they are blind or their heads are full of mud.

This is also the reason why Luo Xinlan dislikes her brother at this time. If she could have a good relationship with Feng Yiping, would such a thing be so troublesome?

She really didn’t know. In fact, it’s not her brother’s fault. Even if Luo Zhonghao and others deliberately tried to please him, there is a great possibility that they can’t be friends with Feng Yiping.

He doesn’t like circles, and he doesn’t like, and he doesn’t have time to associate with those guys who are obviously not the same as him.

To be honest, even if Luo Xinlan, who is both beautiful and intelligent, personally took action, most of the results would be the same.

What she didn't know was that she didn't like Feng Yiping at the time, and she was a little afraid of Feng Yiping afterwards. She regretted doing those things. In the past period of time, Luo Zhonghao and others who had always been very taboo about that matter and were always reluctant to mention it, now really don't shy away from mentioning it at all.

As time passed, as Feng Yiping's wealth soared like a rocket, they now often took the initiative to mention that matter, but they were honored.

Luo Xinlan flipped through the address book, who should she find? Given the friendship between her family and them, and the scarcity of this cocktail party, it seemed that the chances of finding anyone were slim, but it was still worth a try.

Luo Zhonghao, who was used to being disliked by his outstanding sister, did not leave, "Didn't you think of contacting Feng Yiping directly? Don't we have a relationship with him?"

"You think I can't think of it, but today, his phone can't be contacted at all," Luo Xinlan said unhappily.

"What about his assistant's number?"

This question made Luo Xinlan even more unhappy, "It was his assistant's number that was called,"

Now, they can't even get Feng Yiping's mobile phone number.

In fact, it shouldn't be like this, but who made Feng Yiping so wary of her, a very smart working woman?

"Is that so? Have you ever thought about contacting other people?"

"Okay, okay, don't disturb me while I'm working," Luo Xinlan drove him away again. What I've been doing just now is to contact other people, right?

"I mean, Xu Bin, who is in charge of hotel affairs at Jiasheng, can't you contact him?" Luo Zhonghao said.

Luo Xinlan's eyes suddenly lit up...

…………

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the square in front of the Window of the World was still very lively, with tourists and residents walking in an endless stream. It was still not easy to take a photo of yourself as the protagonist.

However, compared with the Venice Hotel opposite it, this is nothing at all.

Many people who came out of the imitation Louvre glass pyramid had the first reaction that some big star had come over there? Otherwise, why would there be so many reporters and enthusiastic fans around?

But as long as you stop and watch for a few minutes, you will find that it is not as simple as a star moving in, because the most popular star at the moment will not have such a big battle in terms of security.

Soon, someone seemed to think of something, and suddenly became excited, put aside the original plan, and joined the camp of fans on the opposite side.

But it was a little late now, and they could only hear people next to them talking about what the top two leaders of the province had arrived, and what Hong Kong had also arrived.

Someone who was impatient immediately asked, "Where is Feng Yiping?"

"They live here. I heard that they have booked several floors," said the person who had been waiting for a long time and seemed to be well-informed.

"Only a few floors? Not the whole place?" someone said.

"Yes, for them, not booking the whole place is already very economical,"

That's right. Compared with the wealth of those people on the other side, the cost of booking the best hotel in the city is really a drop in the bucket.

Compared to the excitement of the fans, the reporters were much calmer at this time. The cocktail party inside was probably in the middle of a lively moment, and there was nothing to shoot at this time.

…………

In the hotel's largest banquet hall, the Venice Banquet Hall with an area of ​​nearly 700 square meters, a cocktail party was indeed being held at this time, but it was not as lively as imagined.

The scene of the cocktail party was arranged in a U-SHAPE shape, but all the guests, adding up to just about a hundred people, seemed a bit empty.

There were more than a thousand people queuing up to attend the reception, especially those Hong Kong businessmen with a keen sense of smell. For them, this was also a rare opportunity.

However, the organizer, that is, the local government, respected the opinions of the guests and did not accept too many participants.

In order to attend today's reception, many businessmen on the other side, who usually looked up to the top, had a very good attitude for the first time and were very humble. They asked those officials who usually worked to get them to invest to find a way to help them get a ticket.

Although most of the officials who were asked to do this today could not do it, it was also a refreshing thing.

It felt great to be asked by others, especially by the people you often ask.

At this time, they looked at the young man sitting there and admired him very much.

It seemed that some people gave him a nickname, "specializing in all kinds of dissatisfaction." Now it seems that this nickname is really worthy of the name. Look at those Hong Kong businessmen who usually act like two or five hundred thousand, how polite they are to him now?

Feng Yiping is indeed the central figure of the reception tonight.

Because this is the last trip tonight, the people he brought to China naturally have a lot of questions to discuss with him.

For example, Musk and Martin are already thinking about how much the overall output will increase and how much the cost will be reduced if Tesla is put into production in China.

Page and Brin are thinking about the intention of Feng Yiping to arrange these trips. In addition to a deeper understanding of China and China's huge potential, does he have other intentions?

"Feng, do you think it is necessary for us to get involved in hardware in the future?" Page asked.

The reason he asked this is that Feng Yiping has arranged several factory trips in the past few days.

"Why do you think so? However, the development trend of hardware and software, this issue has been discussed before. It must be said that Apple is a company that combines software and hardware best,"

"Therefore, I think it is not impossible to consider intervening in appropriate hardware projects at the right opportunity," Feng Yiping said.

He knows the trend best. Ten years later, there will be few high-tech companies in the United States that only do software.

Google, which produces its own mobile phones, is not a special one.

Even the arrogant Microsoft later invested so much to manufacture hardware, even Amazon, which only does e-commerce, has started to make hardware, and even Facebook, which belonged to Zuckerberg at that time, has started to make hardware...

Now let them understand the domestic industrial level. When they look for OEM manufacturers in the future, they should not need to remind themselves that the best target is China.

Here, there are low costs that the United States and Europe envy, and there are mature and very dedicated and hardworking industrial workers that other Southeast Asian countries do not have.

Feng Yiping and Page only chatted for a few words, and exchanged a few brief greetings with a person who took the initiative to greet him, and then smiled and clinked glasses with the leader who raised his glass opposite.

These two groups are the main guests of today's cocktail party, and they also regard Feng Yiping as the central figure.

The leaders also cherished this rare opportunity, but because of the language barrier, they had to communicate with Jobs through an interpreter. However, the people invited by Feng Yiping all valued efficiency and did not like this way of communication.

Therefore, for the leaders, they seemed a little arrogant. It was more comfortable to communicate with Feng Yiping. They could understand what he said, and he also understood what they said. Moreover, he always had a smile that made people feel comfortable.

At present, in terms of net worth, he was also the highest in the group he organized, and the one who was most likely to expand investment... It was always right to talk to him more.

As for those businessmen, they wanted to have a good relationship with Feng Yiping.

Apart from other things, they hoped that they could be brought along next time when there was a good opportunity like Google.

The last time Feng Yiping brought so many people to subscribe to Google, they were more or less cautious and did not make a move.

Now, in the face of facts, they will never doubt Feng Yiping's similar suggestions again.

Mr. Li didn't come, but the two young masters of the Li family came, which was rare, but they didn't communicate much with each other. Yuan Tianfan was also there, and the three of them looked at Feng Yiping who was very busy in front of them, and they all felt a little emotional.

Yuan Tianfan was relatively leisurely. He looked at Feng Yiping and suddenly said to the two young masters of the Li family, "Hey, have you noticed that Feng Yiping has a very different place?"
