The bigger problem facing Gu Moben and others now is that it seems difficult for them to choose not to participate.
Don't give Li Zaixi face, don't give that person face...
Not to mention the one who is now the major shareholder of the five major groups, let's talk about his influence in the United States and Wall Street.
It can be said that almost as long as he says a few words, everyone from Han Guo to Qingzhuang and them to ordinary people will become uncomfortable.
He doesn't even need to use the power of the United States. If he is unhappy, just saying a few words that he is not optimistic about the Hanguo stock market is enough.
His few words may cause the Hanguo stock market to experience a horrific stock market crash.
This is like a giant crocodile in a big river or lake. It just passes by a small pond or puddle and has no intention of doing anything to the frogs or small fish in the pond or puddle.
But just the threat caused by its passing, or the movement caused by its walking, were enough to make the frogs and small fish in the small pond tremble with fear.
Facing the busy Li Zaixi, the four of them really hated this guy. Now they really refused or agreed.
Fortunately, there is no unstoppable road. Zheng Jiumeng's eyes lit up when he was facing the door.
"Hey, someone from Neon is here too!" Zheng Jiumeng suddenly pointed to the door, seemingly wanting to change the subject.
The other three people had not looked in that direction just now, but now they were in perfect agreement. They all looked towards the door, as if they were really concerned about the arrival of the Neon Man.
Li Zaixi hadn't seen enough of their embarrassment, and was a little unhappy that they changed the subject. He said the same thing while looking at the door:
"Aren't the Neon People here long ago? Their envoys came earlier than anyone else. I've never seen them come so early at the Blue House banquet... Huh?"
After speaking, Li Zaixi also let out a sigh of relief, and his tone was a little surprised.
Because the guests who reappeared at the door were really neon people.
But it's not the neon messengers or official figures, but a large number of these chaebol figures who will feel a little weak when they meet them.
The one walking in the front was surprisingly one of the neon people Li Zaixi was familiar with, and one of the core figures of the Mitsui family of the Mitsui Consortium, Mitsui Suki.
Next to Mitsui Suki was a beautiful young woman wearing a kimono. Li Zaixi knew that she was probably Mitsui Suki's daughter Mitsui Fuyuko.
Next to the two Mitsui, Li Zaixi also knew most of the other neon people who walked in together. The circles in Korea and Japan are so big, and everyone is a top figure in the circle, so it is normal for them to get to know each other.
The ones next to Mitsui are surprisingly Ayukawa Sukeo of the Ayukawa family of the Neon Furong Foundation and Yasuda Tomokawa of the Yasuda family.
Furong Consortium is one of Neon's six major trading companies, which is also one of Neon's six major consortiums.
This consortium has many factions, complex members, and a loose organization. It has great influence in various important fields such as Neon's manufacturing, commerce and finance industries. Its core companies include Fuji Bank, Nissan Motor, Neon Steel Pipe, Sapporo Beer, Taisei Construction, Marubeni, Canon, Neon Seiko, the largest bearing manufacturer, and Kubota, the largest manufacturer of agricultural machinery.
Their current name is actually the Fuji Group, because their core is Fuji Bank, and in the past, Fuji Bank's name was actually Yasuda Bank.
Because Neon people like to call Mount Fuji Mount Furong, the Fuji Foundation is also customarily called the Furong Foundation.
In addition, the predecessor of Fuji Bank was Yasuda Bank. The Yasuda family was liquidated after World War II, and Yasuda Bank was forced to change its name to Fuji Bank.
Before that, they were actually called the Yasuda Foundation.
After being liquidated, the Yasuda family's unique authority within the consortium has also declined. Now it can only serve as the dual core of the Furong consortium with the Ayukawa family.
Because of this internal division, Furong Consortium is the weakest among the six major Neon consortiums.
Coming to the Neon People, except for the Mitsui people, Yasuda Tomokawa and Ayukawa Sukeo.
People from Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Sanhe, and Quanye also came.
A group of more than a dozen people walked in together, and with their identities, they naturally attracted great attention from the Han Chinese and foreign guests in the banquet hall.
Li Zaixi also had to put away his secret feeling. As the host, he solemnly stepped forward to welcome the arrival of these neon giants.
"あ, the Shuyue of Minato is the best! Mitsui, Iwasaki, Ayukawa, Yasuda..."
Li Zaixi spoke fluent Japanese and communicated with the Neon people.
Among Li Zaixi's generation of businessmen, almost most of them are fluent in English and Japanese.
The reason is naturally related to the industry and commerce of Han State. The Americans forced the Neon people to press their heads and required the Neon people to transfer their industries.
In order to do business better, people like Li Zaixi certainly have to learn Japanese and English.
Not to mention that many Hanguo chaebols have deep connections with the Neon people. Guys like Xin Bindong can even be said to be neon people. He has his own neon name and even speaks Japanese more fluently than Korean...
After the opening remarks, Li Zaixi was surprised to find that these little cabinets, who he had known before and who had always been bossy in front of him, were all friendly and greeted him in a friendly manner. They could not see the arrogance they had before.
While Li Zaixi was surprised, he also knew instantly why these neon people had such an attitude, giving him a feeling of being arrogant but respectful.
씨발!
These guys must also be here for Mr. Smith!
Li Zaixi noticed that at least half of the dozen neon people were women, and they all looked very young and beautiful, and they all had their own unique styles in dress.
Like the Mitsui Fuyuko at the front, she is wearing a typical neon kimono and looks like a Yamato Nadeshiko.
Among the few at the back, one was wearing a student skirt and looked very young, at most fourteen or fifteen years old.
There is also an OL wearing a slightly dress-like outfit, which gives people the feeling of a white-collar lady in the workplace. Her appearance and figure are equally outstanding.
The most exaggerated thing is a little girl who is also very young and dressed up very delicately, like a doll, wearing a Gothic Lolita skirt.
The others also have their own distinctive clothes and looks. Except for Mitsui Fuyuko, these neon girls are dressed in such a way that it is hard to tell that they are attending a major banquet. On the contrary, it looks more like they are playing cosplay that their neon people like.
At most, the two-dimensional flavor is not that strong.
Li Zaixi looked a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Almost without thinking, he felt that these neon people came with bad intentions and their purpose was absolutely very clear.
씨발!
He couldn't help but cursed Han people again.
These guys must be here for Mr. Smith! Even his preferences are very clear, and he has brought so many beautiful women with different styles and looks.
I guess people in neon think that there is always one that can catch Mr. Smith's fancy...
He was slandering the neon people in his heart, but Li Zaixi couldn't see it on the surface. He still warmly entertained these neon people and led them to the banquet venue.
But when he caught a gap in the middle, he called a member of the Li family to explain it carefully.
Let this servant of the Li family inform the two young ladies of the Li family that the neon people are coming tonight, so they should be careful!
It's a pity that Li Xinyu can't come, she has only given birth for a few days. Even if you recover well, you may still have difficulty moving for a short period of time.
Fortunately, Li Fuzhen was still able to move, so it was actually the eldest daughter that Li Zaixi asked people to focus on.
Li Zaixi had to pay attention to the fact that at least half of his particularly high status in the Korean and Japanese circles was due to this reason.
Naturally, he was afraid of losing, so he had to be on guard. In his heart, he cursed neon people like Mitsui Suki half to death.
The banquet scene became more lively because of the addition of these neon people.
Many foreigners were surprised to find that what was originally just a banquet at the top of the Han Kingdom seemed to have expanded into a top banquet for the entire Korean and Japanese circles.
This kind of high-level and large-scale social occasion is very precious.
In terms of expanding your social network and getting to know more people, this kind of occasion is almost rare to come across once a year.
Almost everyone paid more attention to it, and the banquet scene naturally became more lively.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Among the Han people, Zheng Jiumeng and others also came to their senses, "These neon people want to do the same thing as Li Zaixi, and want to steal Li Zaixi's "business"!"
Li Zaixi was still entertaining the Neon people, and the remaining four Hanguo chaebols naturally gathered together after the Neon people appeared.
Hearing Zheng Jiumeng's somewhat gloating tone, the three people next to him all laughed.
"You can tell at first glance, and they look much more professional than Li Zaixi's daughters! Are they really worthy of being Neon people?" Cui Xianzhong said with a smile.
Xin Bindong himself is a neon person. In fact, his inner understanding is even closer to neon. After all, he grew up there.
After hearing some of Cui Xianzhong's ridiculing words, Xin Bindong felt dissatisfied. After all, he was a bit belittling Neon People. When he was about to speak, he heard Gu Maoben say:
"They are indeed more willing to spend money. Can you see it? Mitsui Fuyuko, Ayukawa Ryoko, Iwasaki Misaki, Yasuda Nagako...all are their daughters, and they are all more legitimate ones! They are all eldest ladies! This is also I'm so willing to take the plunge!"
Xin Bindong heard the words and took a look and found that the neon girls who came tonight were almost all the rich girls of the core families of the six neon plutocrats, and they were all the most beautiful ones.
This made Xin Bindong take a breath of air, and at the same time his heart became infinitely sour.
You must know that when Xin Bindong was young, his parents also wanted to marry him a neon noble girl.
However, even though his mother was of excellent background, because of his father's identity as a Han nationality, their generation was very discriminated against there.
There is no real top wealthy family willing to marry their direct daughter to Xin Bindong and his brother.
This happened in the past, when Xin Bindong was young.
But now these neon people are so generous and generous, dressing up their noble girls, probably the best ones, in this way, and bringing them here.
Xin Bindong is not stupid, of course he knows what these neon people want to do.
He was so angry and depressed.
씨발! 씨발! 씨발!
He also cursed people repeatedly in his mind, but it was Neon and Abel who he cursed.
To scold the Neon people for licking, they actually don't even pay attention to the so-called aristocratic bloodline that they always value most.
Scold Abel, scold this Yankee in the hearts of Han people for actually having such a beautiful blessing.
By this time, it was already around 8:30 in the evening.
When Xin Bindong was so angry that he already wanted to turn around and leave.
The real person who didn't appear in the audience, but who was being discussed by more than 300 top elites in the Japanese and Korean circles, finally appeared under everyone's gaze.
"...What's going on? Why is it quiet all of a sudden?"
Xin Bindong, who was holding back his sourness and anger and distracted himself by chatting with Zheng Jiumeng and others about the so-called Asian Investment Group, suddenly found that the entire huge banquet scene had suddenly become quiet.
He quickly turned around like everyone else and looked at a corridor inside Li's house.
Everyone is looking there now.
Over there, the main person in tonight's banquet, Abel Smith, the empire boss from the United States, is holding the big-bellied Li Fuzhen in one hand and holding a child of about one or two years old in the other hand, with a smile on his face. Come towards us.
Everyone was watching him, and even Li Fuzhen and Adam Lee Smith beside him were also noticed by everyone in the room.
It was as if in an instant, all the light and shadow in the entire banquet scene were absorbed by him.
He was like a black hole in sight, firmly attracting everyone's attention.
Tower, tower, tower...
Step, step, step...
Two different footsteps, one light and one heavy, seemed to hit everyone's heart, clearly audible.
In this way, everyone looked at him and Li Fuzhen, as well as his and her children, until...
"Hello, good evening everyone."
Until he came out and stood at the door of the corridor, smiled at everyone who was extremely quiet, and said.
The banquet scene, which seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, suddenly became lively again as if it had been activated.
Various voices greeted him.
"...Mr. Smith, good evening!"
"Good evening, Mr. Smith!"
"..."
I don't know who started to applaud. After a few seconds, the noisy greetings disappeared and turned into unified applause.
These people finally chose to use applause to welcome the arrival of the most dazzling His Holiness present.
Looking at this scene, I feel all this firsthand.
Li Fuzhen, who had been experiencing frequent fetal movements recently and felt uncomfortable due to her large belly, felt a little elated at this moment.
Adrenaline and some dopamine hormones, stimulated by such occasions and treatment, began to be secreted, allowing her to temporarily overwhelm the uncomfortable feeling in her body.
At this moment, Li Fuzhen seemed to feel that she was the queen in the Japanese and Korean circles, accompanying the emperor and the "prince" on the stage, and accepting the respectful welcome of all the "subjects" present.
That endless sense of vanity and immense sense of glory enveloped her heart.
At this moment, Li Fu really felt that everything she did for the man around her was worth it!
Even if you get the insignificant brilliance of the sun, it is enough to turn yourself into the moon!
The child Li Shiming, who was being held by Abel, was actually only a little over one year old and not yet sensible, but still looked confused.
He doesn't have stage fright, after all, Li Fu is really a super sweetheart. Over the past year, his mother has taken him to various upper-class occasions.
Now he is Li Fuzhen's Baogu of Han. He has promoted Li Shiming, and no one in Han State dares to ignore it.
Li Shiming had seen crowded scenes many times, so he still looked calm and cute. He was not afraid or cowered by seeing too many people like other babies at this stage.
This kind of generous and curious look, coupled with the good looks brought by Abel and Li Lifuzhen's outstanding appearance.
In the eyes of the people of Neon and Han who always believed in blood and noble blood, this was naturally another proof that Li Shiming's child was born with noble blood.
"Good evening, good evening..." Abel responded with a smile, stopping the greetings of these Han people and Neon people, "Little Adam was sleeping just now, and I waited for him to wake up before taking him out. So I came out late, Sorry, everyone."
Li Zaixi and everyone else were waiting, and naturally responded repeatedly: "No, no, no."
And what Abel said made the eyes of so many people present on Li Shiming and Li Fuzhen become even more different.
Because everyone can see that the empire's boss attaches great importance to Li Zaixi's daughter and this American-Korean mixed-race illegitimate son.
Mitsui Suki couldn't help but whispered to his daughter Mitsui Fuyuko: "Can you see it? He really values all his children very much..."
Mitsui Fuyuko thought to herself, I don't need to read it to know it. A lot of the information you gave me is related to this aspect, I can even memorize it!
His and Inkana Lerner's child had a $1 billion trust fund at birth.
His child with Paris Hilton was born into one of the major shareholders of the world's largest hotel group.
How come his children with those women in Hollywood are all billionaires after birth...
Mitsui Fuyuko has seen too many similar materials.
Of course, I want to think about it. On the surface, Mitsui Fuyuko was still Yamato Nadeshiko as always, softly responding to her father:
"Hi! Father, I will work hard!"
As for what to work hard for and in which direction, both father and daughter know very well.
Otherwise, the father and daughter would not have rushed back to Neon from the United States overnight the night before, and then traveled from Neon to Seoul.
The banquet scene naturally became more lively and lively due to the arrival of the main host.
Originally, it was a small social circle with personal connections composed of the six major financial groups of Neon, the five major chaebols of Han Kingdom, and envoys from various countries.
Being redistributed at this moment, the newly arrived Abel and Li Fuzhen were like the center of the Milky Way.
The circle of these guests is like the small galaxies in the Milky Way surrounding him around the center of the Milky Way.
Li Fuzhen saw all this, and the continuous secretion of adrenaline and dopamine hormones made her happiness at the moment difficult to explain to outsiders.
I really want to keep doing this, she thought with great joy and excitement.
