The party was set for November 15th.
Jiang Chen didn’t expect Robert to be able to invite Hollywood director Christopher Nolan. He vaguely recalled that the guy’s salary for Interstellar was 20 million US dollar, how could he be interested in the 10 million US dollar business?
Robert quickly answered his confusion.
“Buddy, documentaries and movies are very different, especially if it is just filming for the party. Unless you want to film your corporate culture into Interstellar?”
10 million, less than a month’s production period, and no need to worry about box office sales, where could one find such an amazing task?
Most importantly, he could gain a connection with Future Group…
After half a month of preparation, the day of the party was finally here. Other than the executives and outstanding employees of Future Group, all of the major business partners of Future Group received an invitation.
But the number of guests did surprise Jiang Chen, it far exceeded the 1000 guests expected and headed straight to 2000 people. Fortunately, the planner Jarnell was prepared and arranged for forty long tables and other amenities to be placed at the beach and supervised the chef team to prepare food and drink for the additional guests.
Carmen Rothschild couldn’t attend due to a matter he needed to attend to, but he still sent out a representative and brought a gift from the Rothschild family.
Other than Mr. Carmen who didn’t attend, the top dogs of the party were B City Consortium’s Carson Loki and Saudi Prince Yerif. Other than them, Future Biology’s partner- Walmart’s President, Future Heavy Industrial’s partner – Lureka Automotive President, and the oldest son of the Liu family, renowned real estate businessman Mr. Chen… and hundreds of other businessmen attended.
With so many reputable members attending, the party previously intended to be a celebration party took a “turn” and matched the high class party of the top echelons.
Because the invitation permitted bringing at most three people, other than people being invited, many came with their friends “inviting themselves”. They included famous businessmen, Hollywood stars, or elites of the society…
They all desired to befriend the massive Future Group.
Even if they couldn’t gain a connection, they could use this opportunity to meet with people that could help with their business.
…
Melodious music twirled around the island and added more elegance to the beautiful island in the southern kingdom.
At the most desolated corner of the party, Jiang Chen was planning to see Robert, but a swarm of people flooded him. This made him recall the birthday party Yerif hosted for his princess that he attended. He was sitting in the corner when the security of the party spoke with him.
He faintly remembered that the security’s name was Bruce, a mercenary from Blackwater International. The reason he talked to him was because he sensed a similar vibe.
But now, even if he wanted to go to the washroom, there would be Hollywood stars in low-cut dresses attempting to encounter him.
Reminiscing the past gave him a mixture of emotions.
The group of people surrounded Jiang Chen in the middle. Jiang Chen maintained his smiled and acted in the most elegant manner in both speech and posture.
The guests were all powerful and influential, if they came to greet him, he should treat them with respect.
Other than the international businessmen whom he couldn’t name, Jiang Chen could only name a few Hollywood stars. Although he always had difficulty remembering names, he could still match the name with the face for the films he enjoyed watching.
For example, Jeremy Reiner, who played the role of Sergeant William James in the “Bomb Players” and who played the Hawk’s Eye in “Captain America 3”. Also the “Mission Impossible” series actor Tom Cruise.
Jiang Chen was also considered a fan of the “Mission Impossible Series”, he really didn’t expect to meet his favorite actor this way.
“Thank God.”
“You can thank him in person!”
They exchanged lines and the two laughed. Jiang Chen and Tom Cruise fist pumped each other. This dialogue was from “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol”, so Jiang Chen remembered it vividly.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Jiang Chen to watch the movie I starred in.” Tom laughed exposing his white teeth. Extending out his hand, he gave Jiang Chen a firm handshake.
“I not only seen it, I’m also your fan” Jiang Chen used a half-joking tone.
“My honor!” Deserving of being one of the best actors, Tom made a funny flattering look, immediately drawing the goodwill laughter from everyone around.
At this time, a blonde beauty carrying champagne walked into the circle. She stood beside Jiang Chen and biting her lips slightly, she entered the conversation with gracefulness.
“I do not know if I also have the honor to have starred in a movie Mr. Jiang has seen.”
A familiar face. Jiang Chen only examined her for half a second before he successfully matched her face.
“Of course… I remember you are Hermione!”
Emma Watson! Jiang Chen who grew up watching Harry Potter naturally recognized this face.
On this topic, Miss Emma Watson is the ambassador for Future Biology’s nutrient supply.
“Correct!”
She gently flipped up her curled hair, tiled her head, lifted her chin, and the standoffish vibe Emma Watson gave perfectly fitted with the mold of Hermione!
Hmm, it was an odd way to say this, since she did play the role…
“Oh! What a lucky guy! He received a kiss from Miss Jessica! I expressed my love with roses and a Ferrari but she won’t even date me,” a tall male enviously said.
“It’s only a peck, so what! Look, oh my, that’s Oscar winner Jennifer Laurence! God, she is my idol!” The chubby man that came along exclaimed!
“OH MY! It’s true! She is here!” The tall guy looked over and jumped up in excitement.
Just then, a middle-aged man who had been listening glared at the two who were indulging in the food and said expressionlessly, “What’s exciting about this. This is a high class party. If Saudi’s heir and B City Consortium are here, it is not odd for celebrities to come here…”
The two didn’t notice what he said. Another celebrity appeared and the tall male shouted to his friend.
“Jiang Chen’s charm is unbelievable!”
“It is not Jiang Chen’s charm, it is his money’s charm. Without Future Group, he is nothing impressive…” The middle-aged male acted like he knew.
The feeling of being overlooked was terrible. This time he raised his voice attempting to draw the attention of the two.
An elder with champagne walked over before an intrigued expression appeared on his face. He stopped to interrupt.
“Oh? I have a contrary opinion. I think without Jiang Chen, Future Group is nothing at all.”
“Foolish statement, I don’t agree with your perspective. May I ask which company do you operate?” The middle-age man scorned in contempt.
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head.
“It is not convenient for me to say…”
[Must be a random person that got in with their friend…]
The middle-aged man was even more contempt. But he didn’t realize that he was also not invited and came in because of his friend.
But after he came in, he didn’t manage to get to speak with Jiang Chen who was surrounded by the crowd. He didn’t even manage to exchange business cards. Because of this, he was holding in some anger. He couldn’t tell the brand of the suit the elder was wearing, so he thought it must be cheap…
“Is it not convenient to say? It’s okay, I have a tech company in Silicon Valley. I think I have some credibility in the tech field.”
The middle-aged man took out a business card from his pocket and put the card between his fingers in front of the elder.
The elder scanned the address on the card and grinned, he didn’t take the business card.
“California Cosic Software Company? Interesting name.”
“Thank you for your compliment. We are in the process of our first round of financing. If we are successful, we will acquire 70 million in investment.” The middle-aged man took back his card, his mouth formed a curvature.
“Is that so? If we are just counting equity, First B City Bank is one of my assets,” Carson Loki holding his champagne said while in thought.
The business card didn’t go back to his pocket, instead, it went into the champagne glass several inches out.
The middle-aged man’s wide open jaw could fit an entire egg as he just stared at the elder’s face.
“You, you are Carson Loki.”
[God, what did I just say to him!?]
The middle-aged man’s face turned pale white as he wanted to slap himself. He thought the elder looked familiar, but he didn’t think he was Carson Loki.
But Carson didn’t bother with him and responded to his blank look with a procedural smile.
“It is me. We only invest in companies with a future and don’t participate in the operations of any company.”
