Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 58 The Clown is Myself (Please Read)
Zhidao Investment is the largest private equity fund in Jiangnan City and also the most profitable venture capital institution.

Yaoyao's return on investment can be said to be leading among her peers in Jiangnan City.

In addition to being an investment banking consultant, Pan Wenzhou also has work experience at UBS Group, so he has all the buffs of a sea turtle.

It's normal to feel superior.

I thought everyone at the party would have some respect for him, but then they met Haitangxi.

Haitangxi's father, Hailin, is also a big figure in the local financial circle. Perhaps the partners of Zhidao Investment are all his friends.

Showing superiority in front of her is completely self-humiliating.

What's more, Haitangxi herself is a very outstanding woman, and she has never thought about changing her life and achieving her goals through marriage.

No matter they are social elites or ordinary people, they are just men in front of her.

Quoting Jack Ma's "Sea Turtle Theory" directly silenced Pan Wenzhou.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense could tell that Haitangxi was mocking him.

Say he is a country bumpkin.

To be honest, Pan Wenzhou was embarrassed, but arguing with a woman in such an occasion was even more embarrassing.

He gritted his teeth and swallowed his breath.

"OK! Miss, maybe you are right," Pan Wenzhou said with his hands spread out.

His face is not very pretty.

“When does a woman miss out?”

Jiang Beicheng walked over with a smile and continued.

This sentence made Haitangxi laugh.

Double entendre.

On the surface, it's about a woman being unreasonable, but in this context, it's particularly appropriate, praising her for her unique vision. Pan Wenzhou is indeed a country bumpkin.

Pan Wenzhou was once again attacked by the word "country bumpkin".

Looking embarrassed.

Fortunately, those fake socialites who had sneaked in came over and gave him a chance to leave in a dignified manner.

"Mr. Pan, where were we talking about just now?"

"Mr. Pan, I think your perspective on red wine is very unique..."

Pan Wenzhou smiled and raised his glass to Jiang Beicheng, then left with a few fake socialites.

Haitangxi and Jiangbeicheng smiled at each other and moved to their seats.

"Don't you want to know what he and I were talking about just now?" Haitangxi asked, "Maybe it's really my fault. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to stand up and help me?"

Jiang Beicheng said: "Does right or wrong matter?

Let the law and morality distinguish right from wrong.

But I must ensure your safety."

Haitangxi raised her hand and gently pushed Jiangbeicheng's head, smiling brightly, "You are very good at it."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Xi." Jiang Beicheng raised his glass and clinked glasses with her.

……

All the guests for the banquet were present.

Robert, General Manager of Regent Hotel, took the stage to deliver a speech and expressed his sincere gratitude to the distinguished members of InterContinental Hotels Group.

After that, the band performed a few songs.

Then a dance troupe performed classic Broadway numbers.

Savoring delicious food and fine wine and reviewing classic songs and dances is a kind of enjoyment in life.

After the show, Robert went on stage again and invited Zhou Zhuolin, President of InterContinental Hotels Group Greater China, to give a speech.

There was warm applause.

It is rare to see this group executive. Today he personally went to Jiangcheng to attend the mid-year thank-you banquet, showing the hotel's attitude and sincerity.

Zhou Zhuolin expressed his affectionate love to all the distinguished guests present, and used the affectionate name of "family" to convey the warmth and love of the hotel.

The president’s speech was very insightful.

The atmosphere of gratitude and giving back to customers is fully created, while also promoting the hotel's corporate culture.

After he finished speaking, he invited member representatives to come to the stage to give speeches.

When Haitangxi heard the name "Pan Wenzhou", she smiled again. This sea turtle was probably going to go on stage to show off his superiority again.

"I thought you were the protagonist on the stage tonight," Haitangxi said to Jiangbeicheng.

"I was invited, but I refused." "With your personality, would you refuse such a good opportunity to show off?" Haitangxi didn't believe it.

Jiang Beicheng laughed and said, "I'm not good at flattering people."

At this time, Pan Wenzhou on the stage had already bowed and was ready to perform.

"Dear President Zhou Zhuolin, distinguished guests, good evening..."

Pause intentionally, waiting for applause.

“It is an honor to be here with you all and enjoy this wonderful evening.

InterContinental Hotels Group is a British brand. I also studied and worked in the UK for a period of time. I met the group's global CEO, President Mourinho, and had the honor of discussing hotel management with him..."

Haitangxi looked at the stage and said, "It's started."

Jiang Beicheng glanced back and said, "It's boring to just eat without watching a show."

"You are really humorous," Haitangxi said with a smile.

Pan Wenzhou noticed the smiles on Jiang Beicheng and Haitangxi's faces and felt they were discussing him again, so he said more confidently, "Although I work in investment banking, I have also made some achievements in corporate management.

InterContinental Hotels Group’s corporate culture and management system are the most advanced in the world..."

The brands and partners feel very comfortable after receiving such flattery.

Zhou Zhuolin had a visible smile on his face and his hands were clapping non-stop.

Most people at the scene followed Zhou Zhuolin in applauding.

Pan Wenzhou's sense of superiority reached its peak.

Confidently raise a toast to everyone: "Let's encourage each other!"

When he finished speaking and walked off the stage, he consciously buttoned his shirt twice.

He looked at Jiangbeicheng and Haitangxi, smiled and nodded before sitting down.

Haitangxi: "What does his smile mean?"

Jiang Beicheng imitated, "Show off! Look how good I am."

"Hahahaha!" Haitangxi couldn't help but laughed out loud while leaning on Jiang Beicheng's shoulder.

On the stage, Zhou Zhuolin invited Luca, the marketing general manager of Italy's Lagna Winery, the partner of tonight's thank-you banquet, to the stage.

"To express our gratitude to all our distinguished guests, we have teamed up with Italy's Lagna Winery to prepare a gift for you."

Zhou Zhuolin opened the red wine gift box to show it.

It is a Barolo red wine produced by Lagna Winery.

Lagna Winery is one of the world's top red wine producers. Its Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are world-renowned.

Barbaresco red wine is adored by wine lovers and collectors.

Why can such a good dry red wine be produced?
The two-bottle red wine gift box that the InterContinental Hotel gave to each person was 13 Barolo red wine.

The output of Lagna Winery is very low and the brewing cycle is particularly long, and it basically takes ten years to be on the market.

These two bottles of Barolo red wine, produced in 13 using 50-year-old vine Nebbiolo grapes, have a market value of mid-thousands.

Not expensive, but not cheap either.

There was warm applause.

Zhou Zhuolin continued, "Mr. Luca has also prepared a great gift for the InterContinental Hotels Group's most distinguished customers."

Luca opened the gift box himself, and found a bottle of Barbaresco dry red wine made in 01 from 60-year-old Nebbiolo grapes from vines.

Only 1000 bottles of this wine were produced that year, and each bottle was sold for 8700 RMB.

This wine can no longer be found on the market except at Lagna Winery.

Its preciousness is self-evident to wine lovers on site.

InterContinental has invested heavily this time.

This is the kind of wine that can go to auction.

Everyone's eyes turned to Pan Wenzhou almost at the same time.

Pan Wenzhou smiled politely.

He also felt that this generous gift was prepared for him, and he spoke on stage today as a member ambassador representative.

What I said was affirmed and applauded by President Zhou Zhuolin.

He is also a loyal user of InterContinental Hotels Group.

Just as he was waiting for Luca to give him the wine, Zhou Zhuolin suddenly asked Jiang Beicheng for his opinion, "Mr. Jiang, are you available to go on stage?"
