Chapter 420: Indeed invested billions
At the assistant's strong request, the banquet organizer did not interfere too much with Wen Wan's schedule.
There are no background board sign-in, pre-dinner cocktail party socializing, or speech sessions.
All the procedures have been simplified to "At the buffet, Miss Wen just needs to show up."
If it weren’t for the buffet and auction, Wen Wan wouldn’t even bother to eat the meal.
7 p.m.
The melting sunset has already set, and the lights of the world stretch for thousands of miles.
The eco-resort located in the Yinhu Bay Ecological Wetland is decorated with colorful lights and sparkling trees and bridges, and it shines like a pearl among the mountains.
The banquet was held in the resort’s central garden, which covers an area of 3 square meters.
When Wen Wan was led into the venue, the garden was already crowded with people.
As soon as she entered the banquet.
The noisy atmosphere of people whispering to each other in the banquet hall suddenly quieted down.
Hundreds of gazes, some surprised, some calculating, some inquiring, and some flattering, were focused on Wen Wan.
Mr. Lu, the leader of the organizer, accompanied Wen Wan and kept introducing the situation of the venue to her.
See this.
He quickly smiled and said to Miss Wen, "Don't be surprised, Miss Wen. It's mainly because you are young, promising, and very beautiful that people are acting like this!"
"Haha...Everyone here is a group leader and an industry elite. If Miss Wen needs anything, I can set up a private meeting for everyone to have a chat!"
Wen Wan didn't say much.
She ignored the strange looks from people around her.
Walk straight to the area with the best view, the most luxurious seats and the most privacy, which is separated by pink reeds, and take a seat.
The banquet was in the form of a buffet.
The seats seem to be not fixed, everyone can sit and move around freely.
In fact, the positions of core figures have always been fixed and arranged in advance.
The privacy of a seat has always been linked to the social status of a circle.
Ordinary wealthy people can only hang around outside.
They took their own food, greeted and saw off guests, got to know wealthy people of similar level, and then negotiated small business deals worth millions or tens of millions.
However, special wealthy people can sit in a more luxurious and exquisite semi-enclosed environment.
They have dedicated staff to serve them and don't need to walk or run around. Sometimes, they can complete a project worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars while chatting and laughing.
For the top wealthy people, there is so much money in this country that it can never be robbed.
They only control a few billion, which is nothing compared to the country's fiscal revenue of tens of trillions!
-
The seating area is warm and has been decorated as necessary.
At first glance, it seems elegant and simple, but in fact it is surrounded by pearls and emeralds, which gives it a different kind of splendor.
In the colorful garden with a tent covering the entire sky, this deliberately separated space is as eye-catching and beautiful as a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows of a lady.
Before Wen Wan arrived, there were already four people sitting in this area.
They were chatting leisurely.
When President Lu brought Wen Wan in.
The group bosses, representatives of multinational corporations, capital tycoons from financial institutions, and the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Resources, all sitting on leather sofas, suddenly had their eyes brightened.
“This is…”
Mr. Lu spoke quickly but politely.
"This is Miss Wen Wan, the head of DS Group. She..."
Before Mr. Lu could finish his words, the group's president interrupted him.
This middle-aged man, who was dressed casually, looked energetic, had strong bones and half-white hair. He looked at Wen Wan with sharp eyes for two seconds.
"Are you Wen Tongren's daughter?"
Wen Wan knew who this little old man was.
This man looks like a dry bunch, but he actually controls the world-class building materials market.
If there are 100 places under construction in a province, at least 50 of them are using cement produced by the company controlled by this old man.
Wenwan's beautiful eyes darkened and she had a plan in mind.
She took the initiative to step forward, extended her hand, and smiled.
"Hello, Uncle Xie!"
Xie Honglin suddenly laughed.
He shook hands briefly with Wen Wan.
Then, pointing to his nose, he asked, "Do you know me?"
Wen Wan knew what was more important, and she still had to give these people some face.
"My father mentioned you, saying that you are still as strong as ever."
"My father even said that you're almost retired, but you're still active on the front lines. It really makes him feel ashamed!"
Xie Honglin laughed loudly, but his laughter stopped very quickly.
He put on a grimace.
"Hey! I suspect your dad is slandering me."
"So many people depend on me for their livelihood, how can I rest?"
"I envy your father. He's enjoying a peaceful life before he's even fifty."
"If I had a smart and capable daughter like you, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
The old man sighed and shook his head.
"After all, it's just my bad luck!"
The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of National Resources immediately took over the conversation.
"You can't say that."
"You have made great contributions to the country and society. If you think this way, how can you let the younger generations cope with it?"
The deputy minister immediately looked at Wen Wan.
He showed the kindness of an elder.
"Kid, you don't have to listen to Old Xie. Just sit anywhere and don't be restrained!"
Wen Wan didn't want to stand either, so after nodding, she found a place to sit down.
As soon as she sat down.
Xie Honglin took the initiative to bring up the topic.
When it comes to business, the old man no longer has the casualness he had before.
The shrewdness that was deep in his bones gradually broke out in his words and actions.
"Girl, I heard... you've invested in all 17 'Desert Ecological Management' projects?"
This topic immediately attracted the attention of several other people present.
They focused their attention on Wen Wan, which was quite meaningful.
Wen Wan, despite the pressure from several people present, calmly poured herself a cup of tea.
Her every move was graceful and elegant, and she acted with grace and grace.
It seemed as if the person sitting here was not a junior, but an authoritative figure on equal footing with them.
This powerful, confident and calm aura surprised all the bigwigs present.
Wen Wan understood the other party's intention in asking such a question.
Every industry has its threshold.
This kind of hierarchical division is more common and naked in the capital circle.
If you want to become a 'director' in this circle, you have to invest a certain amount of money.
What is the price to pay if you want to become a 'lifetime member'.
Even if you become the most basic "observer", you still have to pay a membership fee of no less than a certain amount every year.
How much you spend determines who you sit at the table with.
Who you sit at the table with determines what key information you can get.
The key information you get determines the direction of your investment.
There is no such thing as a stock god in this world, it’s just that there are people who make policies in their circle.
After taking a sip of tea.
Wen Wancai spoke slowly, "It is true that a few hundred million were invested."
"The budget is only about 300 to 500 million. If it's not enough, I can add more."
'Only three to five hundred million.'
As soon as these words were spoken, the bigwigs headed by Xie Honglin, who had only pledged tens of millions of yuan, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Wenwan continued.
"For things like border afforestation, species protection, and the promotion of water-saving crops in the desert, 300 to 500 million yuan is definitely just a drop in the bucket."
"Although the younger generation's contribution is not large, the most important thing is that we want the older generation to see our determination to support environmental protection."
"Creating green mountains and clear waters is a great thing that benefits people's livelihood and society."
"Money is something outside of our body. If we can use it to fulfill our social responsibilities, then we can live up to our country and the people's earnest expectations of us!"
Speak according to the occasion.
There were veteran cadres present, so Wen Wan had to speak in an official tone.
as predicted.
The Deputy Minister from the Ministry of National Resources shouted "Yes" excitedly and enthusiastically.
The government official, who was wearing a gray jacket, had gray hair on his temples and looked quite down-to-earth, immediately gave Wen Wan a thumbs up.
He praised him repeatedly.
"Young people today are truly amazing. Their ideological awareness is quite high!"
"As expected, many things still need to be done by young people!"
The deputy minister said with a hint of meaning, "If only half of the entrepreneurs could have Miss Wen's awareness, we would have much less worries and troubles!"
Xie Honglin and the others listened without saying much, but their faces were unhappy after all.
Wen Wan pretended not to hear the old cadre's implication.
He said humbly and politely, "I'm young and don't know much. I just said it casually. I'm sorry to make you laugh!"
Not everyone can accept this humble statement.
No matter how big a businessman's business is, he will always have only money but no power.
They are naturally incompatible with officials who hold power.
No matter how harmonious the two sides pretend to be on the surface.
Seeing Wen Wan deliberately saying some flattering words to please the officials in front of them, these people couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Except for the deputy minister, no one else at the scene spoke in a gentle tone.
The scene fell into silent awkwardness for a moment.
Until... several footsteps were heard at the entrance of this private area that symbolized the 'highest status'.
Everyone heard Mr. Lu's voice.
"Mr. Zhao Kai, I didn't expect you to come. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you!"
"I've specially arranged a quieter seat for you."
"By the way, Miss Wen Wan, whom you're following, is also in there!"
That 'Mr. Zhao Kai' stepped on the colorful lights.
Passing tables covered with snow-hued linens.
Glancing at the crystal clear glass cups.
Finally, one foot stepped into the space separated by pink reeds.
That woman, the woman he was thinking about all the time.
Under the brilliant starry sky and among the lush vegetation.
She was bathed in a warm light that wasn't too harsh.
It was as if his whole body was covered with...the holy light that saved him!
