Vol 6 Chapter 367: There is always a chance to come here
Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, the well-dressed gentleman, and the jeweled ladies, holding wine glasses, gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing softly, most likely they were talking about the shows just performed by special actors.
The waiters and waitresses in vests, holding silver trays, walked through the crowd with low eyebrows...
This is a commonplace, gorgeous and luxurious dinner, but still somewhat artificial.
But those high-end military dresses interspersed between tuxedos and evening dresses, as well as those scattered around the hall, are always vigilantly watching the surroundings, and you can see the headset, the waist, under the ribs, or the bulging suit man behind the back. , And clearly showed everyone that this is by no means an ordinary dinner.
"Feng, thank you again for your help," his face was especially ruddy, and Joseph Huli, who had been officially promoted to the CEO of State Street by COO, had a cup with Feng Yiping again.
Feng Yiping smiled and said, "I am sure that State Street, under your leadership, Joseph, will definitely become the most effective asset management company."
Meyer came over with a glass of wine at this time, "Thank you Mr. Huli, thank you for your help,"
"That's my honor!" Joseph Huly smiled and yawned to the glamorous Mayer.
"I saw an old friend, Miss Meyer, Feng," he raised his glass and motioned to Feng Yiping and the others.
"Look back to see Joseph," Feng Yiping smiled at him.
When he walked away, Meyer asked in a low voice, "Is he worried about disturbing us?"
"Be careful," Feng Yiping reminded her, "Don't touch my clothes with your head,"
"Okay," Meyer smiled helplessly.
The reason why Feng Yiping said this was not because he was worried that they would be too close. At such a dinner party, such contacts are very common.
Feng Yiping said this, not joking about worrying that Meyer would stain his tuxedo. The reason he said this was that he was worried that Mayer messed up his hairstyle.
Mayer’s hairstyle is really not cheap, nearly $2,000!
This is the kind of slaughter that can be reported to the police in our country, and it will be reported by many media.
This is one thing Feng Yiping could not let go of since he heard about it this afternoon.
If you add her other beauty expenses in the afternoon, as well as the red evening dress customized by Oscar de la Renta on her body, and the pair of diamond-studded high heels on her feet, Meyer looks particularly moving tonight, for The cost of attending this dinner has exceeded $100,000.
If you add the Tiffany necklace on her neck that Feng Yiping gave, she would have been close to 300,000 U.S. dollars-it was really piled up in U.S. dollars!
Other Feng Yiping can accept, even if it’s beauty, there will always be some effect, but a hairstyle that can only manage one day at most, you actually cost nearly 2,000 US dollars?
He is really accepting and incompetent.
"But, is it pretty?" Meyer brushed her hair casually.
"Of course," it's really pretty.
Besides, it must be beautiful too! So much money!
"That's fine," she said with a smile.
"Do you know what I'm thinking about now?" Feng Yiping looked at Meyer, and then at the ladies in the field whose hair had also been carefully taken care of. "I want to buy all barbershops like that."
"Hehe," Mayer couldn't help but laugh, and said immediately, "Oh, that's Pelosi, is she coming to us?"
Grandma Pelosi really came to them. She took the initiative to greet Feng Yiping, "Hello Feng,"
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Pelosi, this is..."
"See you again, Miss Mayer, you are so radiant tonight," Pelosi said without any introduction.
Mayer was undoubtedly very happy, "Thank you Speaker Pelosi,"
She just likes such occasions.
"Feng, I have received several calls in the electoral district recently, and everyone is asking about the follow-up situation of Tesla's site selection," Pelosi asked Feng Yiping with a smile.
Feng Yiping borrowed Tesla to give her support for Android, she will not forget.
"Although the current situation is unfavorable, the site selection is still in progress," Feng Yiping said.
If Pelosi intends to put pressure on him through this matter, it is completely futile.
"Looking forward to you, looking forward to the good news from California," Pelosi said.
"Thank you for your concern. I think Tesla will not disappoint no matter where it is," Feng Yiping said.
Your power is great, but you just can't control it.
Looking at Pelosi who said a few words before leaving in a hurry, Meyer said softly, "It seems that you really offended her?"
"It doesn't matter that you don't offend, politicians, you don't know their virtues," Feng Yiping said.
In the United States, money is very useful.
At this time, another politician attracted the attention of Mayer, "Mr. President!"
Feng Yiping took a look. Over there, Bush, wearing a white tuxedo, and his wife Laura, surrounded by a group of people, walked in with a smile on their faces.
In the private reception between them, they and Bush Jr. had actually met, but for Mayer, she certainly didn't have too many opportunities like this.
This is the dinner Paulson recommended Feng Yiping to join, but not in New York, but in Washington.
This is the highlight of Washington's social networking every spring, the annual dinner of the Grill Club.
Founded in 1885, the Gridiron Club is Washington’s oldest and most prestigious journalist organization.
This is a sorority group organized by senior reporters based in Washington. The members represent the most important newspapers, news agencies, news magazines and broadcasting companies in the United States.
Since the 1890s, when Rover Cleveland was the second president, the annual spring dinner of the Gridiron Club has become a gathering and entertainment event for political, military, diplomatic, industrial and entertainment dignitaries. The United States The president also often attends.
This is a very special dinner. The reporters made fun of the bipartisan celebrities in Washington by singing adapted songs or performing funny skits. It seems that these political celebrities in the United States seem to be afraid not to be teased, so they all catch up. It's just like the rules of the entertainment industry.
There is also a custom of this dinner, that is, the content of the dinner will not be publicly reported-but how can reporters bear it?
Therefore, the tidbits about the dinner will always be published later.
In fact, it is not only reporters who can't help but, many politicians who have attended the dinner will also mention this dinner when they write their autobiography to make money.
——This is actually enough to prove the popularity and grade of this dinner.
Because of this, Meyer, who learned the news from Page and the others, insisted on participating.
Of course, when she came to Washington, she also found a job as an excuse, which was to inspect Google's office in Boston and learn about the new office location.
The new office was found in Boston with the assistance of State Street. How could the bank be unfamiliar with the real estate industry?
This is why she just expressed her gratitude to State Street's new helm, Joseph Huley.
Bush Jr. greeted the people around him all the way. Feng Yiping always felt that Bush Jr. has changed a lot compared to when he saw him, but there are some specific reasons for it.
Anyway, it definitely doesn't seem to be more stressful because of subprime mortgages.
Look at Paulson, who is not far away from him, and his smile is full of bitterness and pressure. Feng Yiping finally confirmed the changes in Bush, the head of state of the United States. At this time, it seems that he is more free and easy than before. Less, there is a feeling of breaking free of barriers.
Bush, who seemed more relaxed, stopped in front of Feng Yiping, shook his hand, and asked directly, "Feng, Buffett and the others are buying bonds again. Do you have such plans?"
Feelings, he did not fail to take subprime mortgages in mind.
Moreover, this is really straightforward.
In order to show the importance of subprime mortgages and to show support for the American economy, some rich Americans such as Buffett did not do nothing, but their main method was to purchase mortgage securities.
But frankly speaking, by doing so, they cannot effectively help the public build confidence in mortgage securities.
Because their food intake did not raise the price of mortgage securities.
Moreover, at this time, the American people are not stupid. They at least suspect that what Buffett and the others have eaten must be regarded as real 3A grade, which is non-subprime securities, so the return is guaranteed.
But when Bush Jr. asked such a question in person, Feng Yiping couldn't answer it. He felt that many people were watching here.
"We have a plan, but you know Mr. President, I seldom go the way others have walked," he said with a smile.
"Haha," George W. Bush laughed, "Yes, because you are Feng,"
A group of people around him also laughed.
Not far away, Lawrence Fink of Black Rock also watched this scene coldly.
"We look forward to your wonderful performance again," he said, "but Feng, before watching your performance, you can enjoy my performance first,"
"I can say that, you will definitely pay for it,"
Listening to this, is he going to be on stage in person?
Meyer, who was greeting Laura, was suddenly surprised.
She has inquired about it. Since taking office, Bush Jr. has participated in several dinner parties, but he has never performed on stage before.
At this time, the host patted on the microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the President of the United States of America,"
Amidst everyone's surprised eyes and warm applause, George W. Bush smiled and came on stage, and he even wore a cowboy hat at this time.
He gestured, and the music immediately rang. The president of the world’s most powerful country, holding the microphone while gently twisting-he danced well, and sang, "When I got off the plane, greeted me It's Mom and Dad, looking towards the country road, Barney (its dog) is running..."
The audience immediately burst into laughter and applause.
""The Verdant Green Meadows of Hometown," Meyer said, "but the lyrics have also been changed."
"...Yes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You (referring to reporters) will miss me too, those days that used to laugh at me..."
"Oh," his re-creation immediately attracted applause from reporters.
Bush Jr. is definitely also an on-the-spot player, that is to say-some people mean that they are crazy, at this time they continue to sing, "Now the White House has gone away from me, I am free again... Cheney is still carrying secret files everywhere. run……"
"Haha," no one at the scene can help but laugh.
I believe Cheney would be the same if he were there.
Feng Yiping was convinced by the attitude of the head of state of the United States, in front of so many people, to smash himself in this way.
"It's a pity that you are not allowed to bring your cell phone," Mayer said regretfully.
When Bush Jr. brought the atmosphere to a climax, Lauder approached Feng Yiping, "Feng,"
"Hi Lauder,"
"I heard that you are interested in hotels?" Lauder asked.
Hotel?
"I called Hank for the first time since he arrived at the Treasury Department yesterday," Lauder explained.
Oh, yes, Feng Yiping remembered that at the San Francisco airport the day before yesterday, he spoke with Paulson.
But is it the first time you talk to Paulson on the phone, what does it have to do with me?
"Of course, you know, I own a hotel,"
"So, I think there is a good opportunity now," Lauder said with a smile.
Feng Yiping thought of another question at this time.
He just mentioned to Mayer that he wanted to buy all those barbershops, and generally we all know that there are beauty salon services in hotels.
So, this is really a coincidence!
Or, in the heart of the United States, Washington, D.C., buy a hotel that is full of beauty salons?
