This year's annual meeting was attended by more people than last year. The senior management, their families, and the employees of Jiayi Group who attended the party totaled nearly 800 people, and 99 tables were placed in the banquet hall of Xinhui Hotel.
Shari Grosvenor, Zhou Pengfei, Li Guobao and others attended today's party as invited guests.
She said to Zhou Pengfei next to her: "Mr. Li is too high-profile. He is deeply afraid that others will not know which companies belong to him. Look at this situation, he is definitely No. 1 in the world."
"Lisa, you don't know much about our nation's culture. You have to know that we in China attach great importance to the Spring Festival and New Year's dinner.
Most of the people here today are senior officials of the Xinjian Department and have made great contributions to the development of the Xinjian Department. This meal is Li Sheng's way of expressing his gratitude to everyone for their efforts.
At the same time, it is also to show its own strength and unite people's hearts. You should know that the development time of Xinjian Department is very short. It is facing an extremely complex situation in Xiangjiang. Only when the senior executives strengthen their belief can the future development of Xinjian Department be more stable.
As for being high-profile, Li Sheng is not yet nineteen years old, and being high-profile is the personality he should have in this situation, so that some top consortiums will not take the Xin Jian Department too seriously."
"Zhou Sheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. When did you come back? Why didn't you inform me so that I could take care of you?"
Feng Jingyao had just come in with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. He happened to see Zhou Pengfei and immediately came over to say hello.
"Feng Sheng is too polite. You can just call me Peng Fei. I really can't bear the responsibility of Zhou Sheng."
Zhou Pengfei was very low-key in front of Feng Jingyao, and did not think that his achievements were very remarkable. Even though his personal wealth now has several hundred million Hong Kong dollars, he respected this person very much in his heart.
He knew how much help this person had given to Xin Jian Department at the beginning of its development. Without this strong support in the early stages, Xin Jian Department would not have developed so fast.
"I think neither of us need to be so polite. I'll call you Pengfei. If you don't feel disadvantaged, you can call me Uncle Feng."
"Uncle Feng, I heard your voice from far away. Who is this?"
Li Guobao had never met Zhou Pengfei and had no idea about the relationship between Zhou Pengfei and Xin Jian.
Suddenly hearing that Feng Jingyao was so polite to this young man aroused great curiosity in him.
Feng Jingyao turned to Li Guobao who was approaching and said, "Why did you come here alone today, where is Xiaowen?"
"Xiaowen was feeling a little unwell, so she didn't come with me. Uncle Feng still introduced her for me."
Feng Jingyao was not very clear about the situation, but his son Feng Yubin next to him was very clear. In one sentence, it was like Li Jianhui's illness without Li Jianhui's life.
Like Li Jianhui, he indulged in promiscuity and thought about a second house. However, before the second house was completed, there was a quarrel in the family.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Pengfei, the general manager of Blue Maple Investment Company and the general manager of De Maple Bank. Next to him is Zhou Pengfei's lover, Miss Lisa Grosvenor, who is a member of the Duke of Westminster family.
"
Blue Maple Investment Company and De Maple Bank have become quite famous in Hong Kong recently, and the deputy general manager of De Maple Bank is a member of the Cavendish family of the Duke of Devonshire.
Unexpectedly, the man who was the most influential figure in the British investment community in the news was this person, and he seemed to have a close relationship with the British aristocracy just like the rumors.
In the past, the Duke of Devonshire was a partner, and now his girlfriend is a member of the Duke of Westminster. This is a sure winner in life.
Li Guobao felt that Li Jianhui's fate was not as good as the one in front of him. Look at a Chinese who was prospering in England, and with the support of these two dukes, who in England would dare to suppress him easily.
Although Li Jianhui is also powerful, he is limited in everything. He cannot apply for a passenger airline for a year, and good policies are basically out of the focus of the Xinjian Department.
If Li Jianhui hadn't been really talented in business and had some good luck to attract capital financing and drive development on his own, the Xin Jian system would have collapsed long ago.
"Sheng Zhou, Miss Grosvenor, I am very happy to meet you. I am Li Guobao, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank of East Asia. If there is an opportunity, I hope to cooperate."
"Li Sheng is very polite. We, Blue Maple Investment Company, attach great importance to the Asian market. As the financial center of Asia, Xiangjiang is our bridgehead. We also hope to strengthen cooperation with local enterprises in Xiangjiang."
Lisa Grosvenor next to her wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh when she saw such a scene. She was feeling quite uncomfortable inside.
She wondered if Li Guobao would challenge Li Jianhui to a duel if he knew that Zhou Pengfei was only working for Li Jianhui.
After staying in Xiangjiang for more than twenty days, she also gained some understanding of the general situation in Xiangjiang. The man in front of her was also a big boss in Xiangjiang. His family has been one of the four major Chinese-owned families in Xiangjiang for nearly a hundred years, which shows the family's strength and heritage.
There are not many people in Xiangjiang who can be so polite to this person. Apart from Li Jianhui in the Xinjian Department, even Huang Guangxing, who is known as the number one person under Li Jianhui, cannot bear the responsibility of Li Guobao.
This is not to say that Huang Guangxing's ability is not as good as Zhou Pengfei's. This is mainly a matter of status. A part-timer and a boss are two completely different concepts.
Those third-rate or even second-rate wealthy families in Xiangjiang will be polite to the senior executives of the Xinjian Department. Top wealthy families like the East Asia Li Family will not show such an attitude towards these senior executives.
Tonight Zhou Pengfei and Lisa Grosvenor were definitely one of the protagonists. Not long after Li Guobao arrived, Lei Juekun also came here with his wife and also greeted him politely.
It wasn't until the dinner party was about to begin that Zhou Pengfei and Lisa felt liberated. This was simply torture for them.
It's nothing to outsiders, these are all allies of the Xin Jian faction, and we can all be considered a family, but in the end they have to act.
Lisa vowed in her heart that she would never attend such an annual meeting with Zhou Pengfei again.
She felt that if Zhou Pengfei stayed at Blue Feng Investment Company for one day, he would not be able to stand at the front desk and would only become a hidden card in Li Jianhui's hands.
Although she was very prosperous on the outside, she understood how much pressure Zhou Pengfei was feeling inside. In order to ensure that he did not accidentally reveal the relationship between Lanfeng Investment Company and Xin Jian Department, Zhou Pengfei did not drink alcohol at all.
The servants at home in London are all arranged by Li Jianhui, and the drivers and bodyguards are all from Xiangjiang.
This is also the reason why Lisa wants to drag Zhou Pengfei to the Grosvenor family. Zhou Pengfei's life in Blue Maple Investment Company was too miserable, and his freedom was also greatly restricted.
It's a pity that Zhou Pengfei has never felt wronged for himself. He has always felt that without Li Jianhui, he would be just an unknown trader on the Xiangjiang Exchange, and it would be impossible to achieve what he has today.
More than two years ago, he never thought that he could become a billionaire and live in a luxurious villa.
Because of Li Jianhui, what he once dared not imagine has been realized. Now he has become a guest of all parties and can be pursued by a girl from the duke family. He is quite satisfied in his heart.
