Gradually, even Richard himself became interested in Yi Feiyang.
"China Yi, what do you think about the construction of large hotels in Asia, especially in Hong Kong and mainland China?" Richard Hilton couldn't help but ask.
This question is no longer about movies, and logically it is a bit off-topic, but seeing Hillary, Whitman, and this little girl Pars looking at him helplessly, Yi Feiyang had to say: "The situation over there is great!
"
"Ah, what?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. You know, the relationship between the United States and China has been very tense recently. No smart person would say such a thing, but Yi Feiyang...
"I don't quite understand, Yi, do you think it would be good to invest there?" Richard couldn't help but ask again.
Yi Feiyang nodded, "Yes, sir, if you invest in Hong Kong and mainland China now, you will get ten times the return in the future!"
Seeing Yi Feiyang's certainty, not only Richard, but Hillary and Whitman were also curious, "Yi, I think you should understand the current situation between China and the United States. Yes, it is very bad, isn't it?"
"This is undeniable." Yi Feiyang said with a smile, "However, China and the United States are like old friends fighting. As world powers, the relationship between them is very delicate. It is impossible to remain in such a stalemate. In the future, not only will the two countries develop
Strategic partnership, and will deepen the partnership, so I believe that the future will be better!" In fact, Yi Feiyang did not say a few things, especially in 2008, China will host the first Olympic Games.
The hotel industry will be extremely prosperous.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang spoke so implicitly, Richard was not very satisfied with the answer, "Yi Feiyang, don't talk nonsense. Now I have several hotel projects ready over there, but I just can't see clearly.
I am asking you this because I think you are Chinese...Businessmen have to pay attention to the international situation, and there is nothing we can do about it..."
Seeing them say this, Yi Feiyang sighed and said, "I wonder what you guys think of the 2008 Olympics?"
"2008? God, 2004 hasn't passed yet. How will we know about the 2008 Olympics?"
Yi Feiyang nodded, "So I said this is an opportunity. In my opinion, that year will be a sensation in the world. The Eastern Dragon will really take off in that year, and the Olympic flame will be lit there!"
"
Yi Feiyang's words have been made clear enough. Richard and others are not fools, and of course they understand its meaning. However, they don't quite understand why Yi Feiyang is so sure that the dragon in the east will rise? Is it just because he is too?
Chinese?
Yes, Yi Feiyang is Chinese, and he also hopes that his motherland will be powerful, but he even hopes that his motherland can use its true strength to win the respect of all countries in the world.
A century-old Olympics, a century-old dream!
2008 is a year full of miracles!
Yi Feiyang still vividly remembers everything about that year, feeling grateful and excited. Even recalling the grand occasion of the Olympic Games that year, it is inevitable that his heart will surge.
But for Richard and others, the rise of the East is just a slogan of the West that misleads the people. The Eastern Threat Theory and the Red Storm are just public opinion reports for external propaganda. They should not be taken seriously. However, in the face of Yi Feiyang's so confident
The "speculations" made them doubtful... Will the Eastern Dragon really usher in the Olympics in the future?!
"Dear Mr. Richard, whether you believe it or not, my country will definitely become rich and powerful. This is something that no country can stop. Therefore, investing in the East is definitely the best choice. I suggest you continue to do it.
!" Yi Feiyang looked at Richard with burning eyes and said.
For the first time in history, Richard felt such strong self-confidence from a young man, as if what the other person said to him were historical facts that could not be changed, and you had to believe him.
Yi Feiyang's aura suddenly suppressed everyone, including Hilton, the future American Iron Lady. And Paris Hilton, who was still smiling, looked at Yi Feiyang in an extremely strange way, with a strange color in his eyes.
Pars has always been full of curiosity and admiration for Yi Feiyang. He thinks this guy is quite powerful. He can create such a big business in just two years. However, it is limited to this and does not have any feelings about him.
Just like she was joking with Yi Feiyang before, she just thought it was fun and didn't take it seriously. But now, Pars suddenly found that she seemed to like this strange oriental man, especially his confidence, which even made her fall in love.
People have an impulse to blindly worship.
What is the greatest charm of a man?
That’s confidence!
Undoubtedly, Yi Feiyang did this, which made Pars, who had always been dismissive of men, a little confused and obsessed.
"Haha, dear Yi, since you are so optimistic about the situation over there, are you interested in cooperating?" Richard suddenly said.
"Cooperation?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help being stunned.
"Yes, I am still short of funds for several major projects there. I wonder if you would be willing to invest a little?"
Short of some funds?
joke!
If the Hilton family was short of money, no one would believe it. However, Yi Feiyang knew very well that this was a polite way of saying it, but it was actually to see if he was interested in working together.
Nonsense, of course I am interested!
The hotel industry is a sunrise industry in the East, especially in China. It is clean and pollution-free, and the country strongly supports it. What's more, as long as 2008 comes, this industry will usher in the biggest huge profits...
Yi Feiyang's mind was moving very fast. Of course he also understood that this Richard Hilton would not be so kind to him for no reason and let him take advantage of him. Eight or nine times, he had a fancy for something in him.
In fact, Yi Feiyang guessed it right. Richard did like one thing in Yi Feiyang, and that was - fame!
Richard is a businessman. He knows very well that Easterners, especially Chinese people, are wary of foreign companies. Don't think that Chinese people are easy to fool. They keep saying "reform and opening up to attract foreign investment", but in fact they are wary of all foreign companies.
.So Richard thought of Yi Feiyang. This young Chinese man has wisdom that is not consistent with his age. The most important thing is that Yi Feiyang is a person in the entertainment industry. He has a very strong reputation in Hong Kong and China.
The appeal is even stronger than that of many Hollywood stars. With this living sign, not only does it save a lot of advertising expenses, but it can even cooperate with the Chinese side unimpeded...
Richard's calculation was very loud, but it was a rare opportunity for Yi Feiyang. Originally, many large companies were unable to get a share of the Hilton hotel industry, but today they were met so easily by him. Why?
Can it be missed?
So Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "Since Mr. Richard invites you so warmly, I will not be respectful. To be honest, I don't know much about the hotel industry, but I feel relieved to be able to cooperate with your group."
Richard was very happy that Yi Feiyang said this. He laughed, raised the champagne glass and said, "Okay, dear Yi, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Yi Feiyang raised the glass and drank it in one gulp.
From that moment on, Yi Feiyang knew that he had truly entered the upper class society in the United States!
…
The upper class in the United States is a very restricted circle. Most people can only wander around outside, but they can't find a door to enter.
Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups.
The upper class is just a small aristocratic circle. It doesn’t mean that you can enter in a grand way if you are a social elite, nor that you can squeeze in all at once if you are rich and a nouveau riche. The upper class has requirements for those who enter.
It's very high, whether it's money or status, but these are not the most important. The key is that you have to be introduced by someone, and you have to be recognized after being introduced. Only then can you truly integrate into this circle.
What are the benefits of joining this circle?
Think about it, who are the people you interact with in this circle? Celebrities, tycoons, politicians, or some big shots with real power. As long as you get along with these people, it will definitely be helpful for you to expand your network and develop your career in the future.
Great benefit.
So much so that a great success expert in the future once said, what does success mean? Thirty percent knowledge, plus seventy percent connections!
This shows the importance of surnames in connections.
As a Chinese working in the United States, Yi Feiyang is the weakest in interpersonal communication. Even if he is talented and even if he can see the future, his interpersonal relationships will not fall out of thin air. He needs to create and build them by himself.
Now, this chance opportunity has allowed Yi Feiyang to become a partner of the Hilton Consortium and meet the future Iron Lady Hillary and the current Los Angeles Mayor Whitman. For Yi Feiyang, this is undoubtedly a dream come true.
Good thing about pie.
The grand ball was still going on. As a "partner", Mr. Richard introduced Yi Feiyang to many American celebrities. Two of them impressed Yi Feiyang the most. One was a world-famous celebrity.
Fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld, who is known as the "Caesar" and "Lafayette" in the fashion industry. He is the little white-haired old man who likes to wear small suits and tight pants, with a ponytail at the back and a
The guy with extremely fashionable sunglasses.
Yi Feiyang chatted with him briefly, and then discovered that this little white-haired old man was as energetic as "having eaten enough ginseng". From time to time, some German, French, and even Chinese popped out of his mouth...
Karl Lagerfeld seems to like talking about film art with Yi Feiyang, because film art can be directly transformed into costume art. Don't forget that the actors all have to wear clothes.
Erl Lagerfeld was very indignant about the fact that many celebrities did not pay attention to their own image and gained weight. He said that God gave these guys good clothes, but they did not know how to cherish them. They ate the high-fat junk food from McDonald's and made them lose weight.
Each one is like an "inflated balloon". He also said that he is the most famous loser in the fashion circle. He was originally a fat man, but because he wanted to wear vampire-style Diorhomme men's clothing, he lost 42 kilograms in 13 months! Karla
Ge Fei also said that his secret way to lose weight is that even though he loves nutella chocolate, he only licks it and then spits it out. He just tastes it to satisfy his appetite. Finally, he said to Yi Feiyang, choose
Actors, especially actresses, must choose those who have lost weight, because they will be pleasing to the eye and make fashionable clothes look more tasteful!
Yi Feiyang didn't understand why the "Lafayette" in the fashion industry was nagging him so much, but he didn't know that the little old man saw Yi Feiyang and the little girl Pars getting very close, and he was
It was introduced by Richard, an old guy, who implicitly had a high regard for Yi Feiyang. If it were anyone else, not to mention listening to his nagging, he would probably not even bother to look at it a few more times.
Faced with the chatter of "Lafayette", Yi Feiyang could only reply sentence by sentence. Occasionally when it came to topics about clothing design or popular elements, Yi Feiyang racked his brains and used some "Ruili" that he had seen in his previous life.
", "Bazaar" fashion magazine articles to prevaricate. Often when he opened his mouth, the old man would be shocked. Looking at his expression, Yi Feiyang thought he had said the wrong thing, and could not wait for the old man.
When I woke up, I realized that I was too "ahead of my time"...
In short, when talking to the old man, Yi Feiyang was sweating a lot and finally managed to deal with him. Yi Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The second thing that impressed Yi Feiyang was the New York real estate tycoon that Richard introduced to him - Donald Trump.
If the first impression of this real estate tycoon on Yi Feiyang was, it was a face of "bitterness and hatred"!
Yes, this super nouveau riche, who is called "the most annoying" and "the best at showing off" in North America, is born with a bitter face. That face seems to tell you that you owe him eight hundred yuan.
dollars.
In fact, this is indeed the case. As a super rich man, there are high-rise buildings and yachts named after him scattered across the United States. Trump has become a favorite figure in the American media, and many magazines have declared that "Trump is a shallow and vulgar upstart."
But compared with his swagger, Trump's ups and downs are even more exciting. In the early 1990s, Trump's real estate empire worth US$1.5 billion suffered a huge Waterloo, and he lost 2/3 of his wealth.
In 1997, he regained his fame with his autobiography "Trump: The Art of Comeback". Now, this tycoon who once fell can stand up again and appear in such a grand banquet. It is conceivable that although he is not recognized
People like the "nouveau riche", but their interpersonal relationships are still extraordinary.
However, during the introduction, Yi Feiyang was keenly aware of Richard Hilton's disdain for this "upstart"...
Of course, this is just a feeling, but it also made Yi Feiyang know that an upper-class society like the United States does not refuse the upstarts to join, but the upstarts will not be loved by most people. After all, the upper-class society has the rules of the upper-class society, that is
Try to be as low-key as possible. Even if you want to be high-profile, you should pretend to be low-key, make a fortune in silence, and don't show off your wealth and power, because truly powerful wealth and wealth don't need you to show off at all...
In fact, it is common for a family like Hilton, which has a history of 70 years, to look down on an upstart like Trump. Conversely, a big family like Rockefeller, which has a history of more than 100 years, will probably look down on Hilton.
The "small" family, and the Rothschild family will look down on the Rockefeller family...
In short, there is always a mountain high, and there are so many wealthy families in the United States. If you really want to compare them one by one, I'm afraid it will be endless.
However, Yi Feiyang had a good impression of Trump. He had an ugly face, but he was very funny when he spoke. He occasionally made one or two dirty jokes, making this originally elegant place immediately become "warm and approachable"
"Of course, for some people, these dirty words lowered the quality of the banquet a lot.
After not much conversation, Yi Feiyang had already decided that Trump was the one he was in love with, and our real estate tycoon also took Yi Feiyang's hand and started calling him brothers. His tackiness suited Yi Feiyang's taste, until the end, especially
Pula said that she had a very good conversation with Yi Feiyang and felt that he was a "beautiful friend". In the future, she must introduce her beloved daughter Ivanka Trump to him. In Tupula's words, "Brother, please help me."
Let’s train her to become a star, like Pars, and let the whole United States know that I have such a beautiful baby girl!”
Ivanka-Trump?!
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be startled when he heard this name, because in his previous life, many boring men once made the world's richest beauties rich, and this Ivanka Trump beat the Paris Hilton sisters to win the first place.
The reason is that Ivanka Trump is the only legal heir to the upstart in front of him, and all his wealth that can be inherited in the future is about 2.1 billion. Unlike Pals Hilton, although the entire Hilton family has a wealth of 6.4 billion,
But she needs to divide it with her sister and two brothers.
The legendary Ivanka Trump is also different from the Hilton sisters. Although Ivanka’s net worth is more than theirs, she is very reserved and cautious. She rarely hangs out in various bars and restaurants of unknown origin.
In nightclubs, she never wears clothes with very little material like the Hilton sisters. Although her father is a famous "nouveau riche", people generally believe that she looks more like a princess than a real princess.
It is precisely because of this that Yi Feiyang is curious about this "princess", and maybe he really wants to get to know her in the future.
…
No matter what, Yi Feiyang gained a lot from the banquet this time and got to know many North American tycoons and powerful figures, which will definitely be beneficial to his future development.
As time went by, the dinner was coming to an end. Before leaving the banquet, Pars suddenly leaned into Yi Feiyang's ear and said, "Yi, I want to be your daughter on the day of our movie premiere."
Company!"
Just when Yi Feiyang was about to refuse, Anne Hathaway's seat as a female companion had already been reserved, but Pars was not easy to open his mouth at all, and suddenly kissed him on the cheek, and then jumped away like a sparrow, leaving Yi Feiyang standing alone.
