Chapter 1320 The Feast of Capital (First update, please subscribe)
It's raining.
The rain slowly fell into the Binhai Park in Yingtian City. Blow by the slight sea breeze, the rain was like a falling water curtain, floating towards the park paths and the green space that separated the north-south lanes.
A man holding an umbrella stood under a lush tree and observed.
Observing the Atlantic Hotel ahead, the hotel entrance was illuminated by arc lights and continuous camera flashes, as bright as day. There was only a damp red carpet under the awning in front of the door, and a uniformed doorman stood there.
There, gleaming umbrellas were held in hand, ready for use; limousines drove up one after another.
Whenever a car stops in front of the awning, a doorman will run forward and hold up an umbrella for the visitors who are bowing down, covering the few steps between the car and the awning.
Block out the wind and rain. Then they can straighten their bodies, turn their faces outward, and show a well-trained smile.
What is this place?
Why is it so lively?
Those gathered here are not celebrities, but a group of social elites - today is the annual commendation meeting of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Every year, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce issues the "Outstanding Businessman of the Year Award". This award is also considered the "Qingyun Medal" of that year.
"The bellwether of winners."
For those businessmen, receiving the "Qingyun Medal" is a transition from wealth to status. The wealth may disappear, but the honor and status represented by the "Qingyun Medal" are eternal.
This is the lifelong pursuit of many outstanding industrialists and businessmen. Of course, this is not only a grand gathering for businessmen, but also a grand gathering for the press. The journalists stood on both sides of the awning, soaked all over, and tried their best to protect them.
The appearance and other equipment were protected from the rain. Their shouts reached the ears of the man under the tree across the road.
"Here, Boss Ma. This way, this way..."
"Boss Luo, you have been nominated again this year. Are you confident this year?"
"Boss Xia, it is rumored that after you gave birth to a child outside of marriage with the famous actress Miss Shirley, you secretly gave her a villa worth tens of thousands of yuan. Does your wife know about it..."
In the face of these business celebrities and important people, there are some who are flattering, and there are also those who want to get to the bottom of things. Of course, at this time, celebrities and VIPs all attend meetings with their wives, and no one will bring their wives. After all,
The upper class society of the empire has its unspoken rules - the basic rule is respect for the principal wife.
Although the laws of the empire will not regard "lover" as cheating, it also ensures that illegitimate children have no inheritance rights. At the same time, the laws of the empire also protect the property rights of the wife and heirs. For example, boss Xia who privately gave away a villa is not protected by the law.
If the principal’s consent is not obtained, the principal has the right to withdraw it at any time...
Although the scar was uncovered, Boss Xia still nodded kindly, and Mrs. Xia beside him also had an elegant smile, smiling at the camera and the camera lens, as if all this was no big deal.
In fact, this kind of thing will happen at every annual event. Not only that, in the following days, the winners will be followed by the paparazzi, and their every move in the past will be watched by public opinion. After all,
The "Medal of Qingyun" is of extraordinary significance. Its recipients can be called "Qingshi", which is almost equivalent to nobles. It is linked to the reputation of the empire. If they criticize their employees, operate illegally, or even have bad family traditions, they will also
It will affect the reputation of the empire, and once it is exposed, it will be disqualified from the selection.
Facing the reporters' questioning, these imperial business elites floated into the hotel like a breeze. There, they will be led to the tables reserved for them. They will stop from time to time to greet acquaintances with smiles on their faces.
, preparing to attend the annual Empire Chamber of Commerce awards ceremony.
For the Empire Chamber of Commerce, this is an annual event. When the empire's business elites gather together, in a conference room upstairs, several business leaders are sitting there. They may be
Silent, or looking at the young man in front of him curiously.
Who does he represent?
Everyone knows clearly that he is the boss Qian of the Investigation Department.
For a person like Boss Qian, no one wants to have a close relationship with him, and of course no one wants to offend him.
Why did he invite everyone here?
Everyone has doubts, and the person in front of them - Xu Zitong, is also a well-known young leader in the business world. If nothing else happens, he will have the opportunity to aspire to "Qingyun" in the future. But now, his identity has been exposed, and the boss
Their hearts all trembled slightly.
Who would have thought that this guy with a prosperous business career would actually be from the Investigation Department.
Many things are always beyond people's expectations, but what is even more unexpected?
It was the news brought by Xu Zitong.
"People often say that a person has three chances to succeed in his life. Of course, all of you bosses must be successful people, but even so, you still need to move from one success to another. Now you all have a chance.
"
Xu Zitong looked at the bosses in front of him and said with a smile.
"An opportunity to expand your business to another country. You must all know that when the empire occupied Peru and Bolivia, there were so many opportunities there, but what? Most of the opportunities at that time were not available to you!"
What Xu Zitong said is true. After the imperial occupation of Peru and Bolivia, a large number of local mines were occupied by some companies. Most of those companies had military backgrounds. In fact, they were the companies of the imperial nobles. They were unscrupulous.
Acquire saltpeter mines, copper mines, silver mines, tin mines and other mines, and acquire various high-quality assets.
They only spent tens of millions of yuan and received returns worth hundreds of millions.
Is this corruption?
Of course not, this is the necessity of war. The war itself is a feast of wealth and a transfer of wealth, but this transfer has little to do with them. Of course, this does not mean that they are not jealous.
Of course, even if they are jealous, there is no way to participate. After all, this kind of feast is combined with power.
"Now, you have a chance to get a similar opportunity in another place."
Xu Zitong said in a light tone.
"...In short, what the boss means is that I hope everyone can help me a lot. Of course, when things are done in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly."
After that, he looked at everyone and stopped talking.
"That……"
A boss thought for a moment and said.
"I just don't know what Boss Qian wants us to do?"
