American Fortune Life

Chapter 628: Shenmen Ru Shi

When nightfall arrives, the outdoor lights of the Four Seasons Hotel are all lit up, and all the space in front of the hotel's doors is bright as daylight. The red carpet winds from the arch in front of the dining hall to the edge of the road and guests can step on the red carpet as they get off.

The Four Seasons Hotel received Ivana's guest list a long time ago and naturally knew how upscale this dinner was tonight. Neither wealthy nor expensive can sum up these guests, who are the people at the top of the real American society pyramid, money and power are the themes of the evening.

Not only did Andy bring in more than two dozen security guards who had not yet been trained, he also asked security guards at the Four Seasons Hotel to help maintain order in front of the door and ensure that no moths would appear.

After all, this dinner has spread in Manhattan's upstream society. When the financial crisis erupted in the United States, when the global financial markets were severely affected, it was hosted by Andy Smith, the world's youngest billionaire, almost including Wall Street powerful figures, Fed President Ben Bernanke, Treasurer Henry Paulson, and the stock god Buffett's billionaire dinner, not just media reporters, but even the public, even some foreign media, were extremely curious.

NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox Dunima in the United States filmed a live car parked on the side of the road for a full live broadcast, and security guards pulled up fences on both sides of the red carpet to prevent overcrowded journalists on both sides from rushing into the red carpet area.

Andy didn't react much to the noisy scene caused by the buzzing outside of his head. He remained calm and comfortable. Instead, he held Ivana's fair face with excitement and red dizziness, and the curved curves on the corners of his mouths did not mean to return to their original positions.

Andy smiled with a faint smile on his face and patted Ivana's little hand and said, "Come on, our first guest has arrived. ”

“Mm-hmm.” Ivana took a dark deep breath and a brighter smile appeared on her beautiful, red-looking face.

This pair of princes and princesses bragged by the New York media stood at the door with a graceful smile on their faces and greeted their first guest under a daylight flash - Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Gray and white beard, shiny head, hair like a headband, with a slight smile on his face, looking at the young handsome and beautiful woman in front of him, inexorably dark exclamation, what an enviable pair of young people.

“Hello, Mr. Bernanke, welcome to Andy Smith, my girlfriend Ivana TLP.” Andy smiled confidently and shook Bernanke's hand.

“Thank you both for inviting me.” Bernanke smiled and shook Andy's hand and shook Ivana's hand with an incredibly elegant xing sensation. After all, it was the first time I met her, not that familiar. Stickers were still spared. What if she had a beard stuck in her delicate face...

Then the three of them stood together, leaving the journalists to slap, and a waiter behind them reached forward to lead Bernanke into the banquet hall.

The second one, a blonde in her fifties or so wearing a black vest evening dress, slowly walked towards Andy and Ivana in a flash of light.

Ivana said a little unnaturally in a slightly invisible voice: "I'm sorry, darling, this lady I... ”

“Don't worry, everything's with me.” Andy smiled softly, he knew that Ivana didn't necessarily recognize anyone, that he had been busy preparing for dinner, that there was no time to carry the hero spectrum, to know that in upstream New York society, one skill he had to acquire was to say the other family name correctly, if he was wrong, the offender would never say it, and people would laugh at him, which was a serious thing, luckily Andy had an unforgettable plug-in, otherwise he also had a headache about it.

“Hello, Mrs. Mary Shapiro, welcome, I'm Andy Smith, and this is my girlfriend Ivana... ”

“Thank you, it is a great honor to be invited to dinner tonight, and it is a pleasure to meet you both.” Mary Shapiro smiled with a gentle smile on her face and admired Andy and Ivana for the beautiful young man.

After Ivana and Mary Shapiro put on their presents, they stood together so that journalists could take a picture.

As Marie Shapiro walked into the back of the hotel, Ivana whispered curiously, “Who is this Ms. Shapiro? ”

“The head of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority is expected to succeed the chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). ”

Regolijo Gregory, CEO of Lehman...

Stanley O'Neill, chairman of Merrill Forest's Board of Trustees, is a small black member of the senior management of a major financial enterprise in the United States...

Paulson, the American treasurer... who caused the journalists to make a scene.

John Sain, CEO of the NYSE...

Ken Lewis, CEO of Bank of America...

Old acquaintance AIG insurance company Greenberg...

Goldman Berankvan of Goldman Sachs...

Morgan Stanley, CEO of Andy's death...

Citibank...

As time progressed, more and more guests arrived. There were several people walking back and forth on the red carpet. Andy and Ivana were still welcoming each other with an elegant smile. Until Warren Buffett arrived, this old man came with his little wife. Nima, what envy.

“Andy, you're such a smart kid, and I have to admire you. No wonder you've accumulated so much wealth in such a short time. Your control over timing is genius.” Warren Buffett was not stingy enough to compliment Andy, to be honest, tonight's dinner was definitely a feast, and he was able to bring so many big characters together, and it had to be said that Andy was definitely the first cheap, and the people who joined Wall Street really needed an opportunity to communicate with each other.

Andy had the right dinner at the right time and invited the more appropriate guests, it was difficult for anyone to choose to refuse after seeing the guest list, which can no longer be described simply as ingenious, but cunning, so young to play with a brilliant borrowing, I have to admire, which is undoubtedly a valuable asset to Andy's networking resources.

“As a follower of Wall Street, I am honored to receive your compliments, but I just want to give Wall Street a little bit of strength so that my newcomer can throw bricks and jade at you, and I should do it.” Andy smiled softly and said that he didn't give a shit about Warren Buffett, an old man who had a bigger heart than his face, and he didn't think he'd lose to anybody else.

Sure enough, listen to Andy, if he's a cheap seller, Buffett almost bled out.

“Cough... Oh, okay, you guys are good. Come on, let's go in. You don't really want to keep welcoming me, do you?” The old man said in disgust.

“Please come in first, there are a few more guests to greet.” Andy hinted at the waiter behind him to lead Buffett and his little wife inside.

The arrival of Alexander the Houston Rockets caused the reporter a blast, seemingly confirming the boiling rumor that Andy Smith was really going to acquire the Rockets.

The arrival of David Stern made the acquisition news perfectly straightforward, and all guessed that the deal should be in its final stages.

And David Stern, president of nba, has a huge fondness for Andy Smith, who is about his grandson's age in front of him. You know, there are a lot of people at this dinner tonight who are asking themselves if there are any extra invitations, and the names in the attached banquet list are definitely an excellent occasion for him to expand his connections. He absolutely agrees that Andy Smith is going to enter the NBA. Rich people like Andy, who have a huge reputation and influence around the world, will definitely benefit from joining the NBA family.

“Young people, you are very welcome to join the NBA family and the Alliance needs to be reinvigorated.” David Stern smiled gently, shaking Andy's hand.

“Thank you, it is an honor to work with you.” Andy smiled and said.

As David Stern nodded happily into the hotel, Andy looked at Ivana with a smile on her face that had never disappeared and said softly: "Hold on... ”

“I'm not tired, don't worry.” Ivana had a happy sweet smile on her face, she was very happy tonight, she couldn't feel tired at all, especially when she heard Andy say this was my girlfriend Ivana, when she saw her face get very ugly, and she was dying of impatience with Amanda's little Birch.

“Well, here we are, on the left is Mosen, head of football at my sports investment firm, and on the right is David Dunn, the former vice president of the Arsenal Club from England, a powerful figure who has been scolding the English Football Forum for many years, not only has the right to dump the English super wild, but also has the right to speak at the UFO Forum, and I would like to hire him as my spokesperson for the acquisition of the British super club and the president of the future club.” Andy had a smile on his face, quickly introducing Ivana in his mouth, watching the two people walking through the red carpet, and at three steps away, Andy reached forward with a charming smile and shook David Dunn's hand.

“Welcome, Mr. Dunn, I'm Andy Smith... ”

“Thank you for inviting me, Mr. Smith, it's an honor... ”

Andy looked at David and Ivana shaking hands with a smile on his face, and he reached out and shook Mosen's hand and said, "Thank you. ”

“It's nothing.” Mosen replied.

“Mr. Dunn, please, let's go in. The guests are almost here. It's not good for me to be the owner. Let's go. ”

Andy walked into the hotel with a faint smile on his face and his gorgeous girlfriend, David Dunn, and Morson walked into the dining room along the red carpet.
