Reborn Capital Tycoon Chapter 172

  Chapter 172 The party is over

  Under Sha Ya's warm greeting, Chen Yi couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and sit next to the big bosses.

   Then Sha Ya began to introduce the people around her to Chen Yi. The first person she introduced was MacLehose, the current Governor of Xiangjiang who had a relationship with Chen Yi before.

This boss has been staring at him from the very beginning, making Chen Yi very uncomfortable. It's not that he's afraid, but it's because he feels very awkward being with a group of old men, especially foreign ones. .

  Especially the people sitting next to him are a group of people who hold the core of Xiangjiang's power. Sitting with these people, under the smiling faces of each other, is like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

  This feeling is very bad, and he can't help feeling conflicted.

  However, resistance is resistance, Chen Yi still obediently accompanied the smiling face on the surface, and honestly greeted several big shots one by one under Sha Ya's introduction.

  Maybe after the charity gala, several bigwigs may not remember him and take him to heart, but being able to sit with several bigwigs can get a lot of hidden benefits.

  As a junior, in Xiangjiang, a place that always likes to rank seniority, if you want to break something, you have to bypass some rules.

  The circle in front of you is undoubtedly the top circle in Xiangjiang, there is no one, and there is no better circle than this in front of you in the territory of Xiangjiang.

  Although Chen Yi is destined not to be a member of this circle, and will never be able to integrate into this circle, this does not prevent him from taking advantage of it.

  The so-called, pull the tiger's skin to pull the banner.

   These words are not purely to scare people. After all, if you want to talk about tiger skin, you must first have that tiger skin. If you don't have tiger skin, what are you talking about?

   In the same way, in the eyes of outsiders, whether Chen Yi can enter the circle or whether he can be remembered by a few big shots is not important. The important thing is that Chen Yi has come into contact with this circle.

   Several big bosses are not something anyone can get in touch with if they want to. Chen Yi, a junior, can surpass most people and get in touch with circles that no one can even dream of. This is his skill.

   This is a shortcut, a shortcut that leads directly to the avenue.

  The person who paved the way for Chen Yi is the current head of HSBC, Wang Shaya, who is second only to Governor MacLehose in influence.

  Introduced by Sha Ya, several bigwigs are also very face-saving, nodding and smiling, or saying a few nice words, which is very useful.

  However, Chen Yi is not very proud of this, he knows that everyone doing this is actually trying to sell Sha Ya's face, rather than really having a good impression of him, Chen Yi.

  So, Chen Yi behaved very well. Facing the big bosses in front of him, he was neither rude nor excessively flattering or flattering.

  Chen Yi's performance surprised several bosses.

  After all, if other Chinese businessmen are sitting here, they will definitely pick up a bunch of good people and flatter them non-stop.

  Of course, this cannot be blamed on Chen Yi, after all, he has the thoughts of the new youth in the 21st century in his head.

  In the 21st century, after decades of hard work and development, the inland area has long since left behind the empire on which the sun never sets.

  Worshiping foreigners, in Chen Yi's era, was regarded as a shameful expression, so even facing the Governor MacLehose, Chen Yi didn't have much awe in his heart.

  Without a sense of reverence, Boss Chen would naturally not bow down to curry favor with those who are against him.

   In addition to this, there is another important reason.

   Those are these few people. Apart from MacLehose, the current governor, Chen Yi doesn't know any of them.

  Although he has attended many gatherings before, the organizers of those gatherings are rarely as big-faced as HSBC Bank. A charity party invited the most powerful figures in Xiangjiang.

  Besides MacLehose, there was another person, Chen Yi couldn't help but look at him more, not because of the high status of the other party, but mainly because this person is very special now.

  In addition to the fierce stock market crash in Xiangjiang this year, there is another incident that is particularly big, which is not much worse than the stock market crash.

   What is it?

   Two words 'anti#rot'.

  Now the people from all walks of life in Xiangjiang are most concerned and concerned not with the Governor, MacLehose, but with the newly established ICAC, the first Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption appointed by MacLehose, Sir Keith.

  The Independent Commission Against Corruption played a considerable role in the future economic development and social stability of Xiangjiang, so Chen Yi was a little more curious and fond of this old man who looked slightly younger than MacLehose.

  In the previous life, when mentioning the official department of Xiangjiang, the ICAC is very famous, especially in Hong Kong movies, this department is even more famous.

   Among the many official departments in Xiangjiang, the Independent Commission Against Corruption can be said to be the only department recognized by many people in Xiangjiang.

  As the first commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, no matter who Ji Da is, what country he is from, and what purpose he is serving, he is worthy of respect.

  After greeting the big shots, Chen Yi didn't speak any more, but sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the highlight of the charity gala.

  In order to deepen the impression of several bigwigs on him, and at the same time praise the stinky feet of Sha Ya, the king of the class, Chen Yi was ready to bleed.

  The charity gala of the high society is naturally not a simple donation, just go through the motions and get the job done.

  Here, you can feel the most intuitive power-for-money transaction.

  Most of the items in the charity auction are ordinary objects brought out by bigwigs. Whether they are worth money depends on who the owner of the item is.

  The higher the status of the lot owner, the more valuable the lot.

  For example, the current governor, MacLehose, the auction items he donated, even an ordinary manuscript, would be taken away at a high price.

   Don't think this is a joke, ordinary charity auctions are just so straightforward, just such a joke.

   One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If you don't like it, you don't have to.

   And if you take the auction, no matter how high or low the price is, it is equal to the face of the owner of the auction. This kind of naked power-for-money transaction is also the most intuitive product of the capitalist society.

  The party lasted until twelve o'clock before it was declared over.

   At the party auction, Chen Yi bought more than a dozen antiques.

  Among them, half of them were donated items by several bigwigs. The bigwigs are quite reliable. Although the actual price of the lot is not as high as what Chen Yi spent, at least the things that were taken out were not just casually fooling people.

  Money is spent, and the rewards are gratifying.

  After the party, in order to express their gratitude, several bigwigs toasted Chen Yi with a glass of wine, including Governor MacLehose.

  Although it was just a few glasses of wine, Chen Yi knew that after tonight, his name would definitely spread throughout the upper class of Xiangjiang.

  Compared to the little money spent, it is a drop in the bucket for him, and the reputation he has gained may be beyond imagination.
