As a person, he has reached the level of Gu Ao. In fact, he has no point of showing off when eating and drinking at a wedding banquet, treating people to play entertainment projects, and picking up and dropping off with airplanes, yachts and luxury cars.

Even if the facilities are luxurious, they are just a long and silent way, moistening things as a background.

Even if you spend thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on each customer, you will not notice it if you don’t pay attention to it.

For people at this level, it is important to see what level of guests you have to support at your banquet.

After getting off the helicopter, Ye Wan and a group of American guests were taken by Gu Ao to take a seat in the main hall.

Gu Ao did not say that the tables were allocated according to his status, but that Professor Ji was his teacher after all, so of course he had to be in the forefront. The others came as professors' colleagues, so it was not easy to get too far away, and they could only be one or two tables short of at most.

It was only around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. As the main family, my father Gu Yong and sister Gu Min had already sat at the first table in advance and could chat while they were free.

After Gu Ao brought a group of people in front of him, he turned around and claimed the professor: "Professor, please sit next to my father, and Mr. Schultz can also sit over. Well, this is Principal Liu and this is Teacher Han, and they will translate it for you."

Gu Ao had more than one mentor, so today he asked Principal Liu, who was taking them when he was studying in the School of Diplomacy, to invite some other teachers, including Han Ting.

Eight years after Gu Ao graduated, Principal Liu has also been transferred. He returned to the ministry and retired to the second line. However, since Gu Ao was the principal he was when he was studying, he should invite him.

Principal Liu sat on the other side of Professor Ji, feeling a little frightened, but he could still hold on. After all, his status was not low. Han Ting sat next to His Excellency Schultz.

These people are experts who are proficient in foreign languages ​​at least five countries, and Han Ting even knows foreign languages ​​from nine countries. When chatting, she takes the opportunity to help Americans translate a few sentences without any pressure.

However, my father and sister were sitting at this table and felt very stressed. My father obviously missed the "powerful" state of being in Qiantang. He didn't have to give anyone face to attend any banquet.

"Dad, relax. You have to think about it. If you are awkward here once, no one will envy you when you go back." Gu Min knew his father's thoughts very well and persuaded him with kindness.

My dad changed his mindset and felt that it was quite profitable.

Yes, it is quite restrictive to ask for people from foreign countries, but after returning to the mainland, others will admire your new insights and experiences. The nonsense of your casual words "What did I talk about when I was having a meal with a certain professor" can make people quote it last year.

"I heard from Director Gu that he talked about something when he was having dinner with Professor XX. That's what Professor XX said..."

This is something that even the reteller or even the second reteller feels glorious.

What's more, there were people from TV stations and news agencies filming there.

Of course, people do not specifically report weddings when shooting, and weddings cannot be made into serious news. At most, they just mention the words "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So

However, news like "Who and who were waiting for someone to attend the wedding of XXX today" can be reported seriously.

In particular, we must use a broadcasting cavity dedicated to the news broadcast registration list, similar to "Who attended the meeting".

After arranging the first two people and the faculty members of the Diplomacy School who were asking for help with foreigners, six people had already sat on the main table, and the seats that Gu Ao and Xiao Sui had left for themselves were not counted.

Therefore, before other people have served in the United States, they must not be able to sit all the first table.

Gu Ao turned to Ye Wan, Peterson, Baker, and other characters who were more inferior to Peterson, weighed it and politely suggested:

"Counselor Ye, you are the leader who sent you to receive American guests along the way, so... please sit at the first table too. You have a chat with Your Excellency Baker, please.

Pete, go to that table."

When Gu Ao read Peterson's name, he was very casual and pronounced very colloquial, just like talking to a businessman or even his subordinates.

However, his identity is indeed sufficient. Who made him an important client of Blackstone Fund and a major client?

It is true that Peter Peterson was a US business chief more than ten years ago, but now he is just a CEO from Blackstone Fund. Americans don’t have so many seniority positions.

So although Peterson attended the wedding banquet as a "professor's former colleague", Gu Ao insisted on arranging him slightly lower than the professor's other former colleagues, and there was nothing to say, and he didn't care.

American ginseng and private banquets don’t care much about seating.

However, other people who were unaware of the situation only saw Miss Ye, who seemed to be in a position ahead of Mr. Peterson.

Ye Wan had a cold face and remained expressionless and said nothing. Finally, when everyone decided, she coughed professionally: "Hisser Baker, I will translate the banquet tonight for you."

"Thank you very much." Baker, who had just tossed Japan in the square agreement two years ago, was very happy to sit and have dinner with Ye Wan. "I heard that Miss Ye, you and Mr. Gu have been classmates for many years. It turns out that people are in groups."

Ye Wan grinned for a moment, forcing her expression to restore her indifferent face with a smile.

Gu Min knew some foreign languages ​​a little, and after listening to the conversation between the Americans and Ye Wan, he secretly talked to his father: "Dad, I used to go to a club with those Americans when I was in Washington. Well, a club called the "Ambienteering Club" was held by Akio Morita, the president of Sony Corporation of Japan.

Every time I have a party in the club, I have no wife to take, so I always take this Miss Ye as my female companion. So those American guests are teasing that they think I will marry this Miss Ye.”

...

The second table next door is the relatives of the woman's family. They are more nervous than the Gu family. After all, they usually have fewer opportunities to meet big people.

However, because the elders of the Xiao family were originally an old couple, her biological parents were over retirement age, and her stepmother Su Ping was only in her forties, so they took advantage of the situation and pushed social pressure on Su Ping. Others would just eat and drink and drink in a while, without having to chat with foreigners.

When Gu Ao led Peterson to come over, he discussed with Su Ping in person:

"Aunt, this is my teacher's colleague, Mr. Peterson, but he is also the boss of Blackstone Fund now. If you ask him to sit on your side, I will arrange for guests with better foreign languages ​​to sit next to you later."

"Mr. Peterson, please sit down, you're welcome." Su Ping quickly stood up, and other female relatives at the same table stood up to greet him.

Gu Ao was about to continue to arrange the arrangements, but there was a little problem with the tables next to him. It seemed that some other guests had met old acquaintances and wanted to change their seats to chat.

Gu Ao quickly expressed his apology and went to deal with it.

At this time, those who must be able to keep the place will be the nobles. They must not let the secretary coordinate, as they will offend others.

Gu Ao learned about it and found out that he was the president of Sony at the fourth table, Akio Morita.

He has had a lot of business dealings with Peterson recently, and his acquisition of Columbia Pictures has some financial aftermath and the details of the execution of the price have not been fully discussed.

As Sony's big boss, Akio Morita's time is of course very valuable. When he comes to Gu Ao's wedding, he will have to sit on the scene for several hours alone, so he must want to sit with his business friends to discuss things.

Gu Ao naturally met the VIP's request immediately.

"Uncle, aunt, sorry, this table may have to be temporarily replaced by several guests."

"You can do it yourself, don't tell us." Su Ping was quickly polite.

Gu Ao led Akio Morita to the next door to Peterson. Then after a while, two more Akio Morita's friends were pulled over to the table in a series.

"This is Senior Bill of Georgetown University, who was just elected as a member of the United States Federation of States last year. This is Mr. Chris Galvin, the owner of Motorola, the United States."

Gu Ao introduced a few words in a panic, then left, and called Mina over to sit at the table.

Mina doesn't have to be a bridesmaid today, so she can attend as an ordinary guest. She wore a gorgeous pure white dress that showed off her figure, and jewelry alone embellished it worth 200,000 pounds.

The skirt itself is customized by Hermes. The designer is the same as the designer who customized wedding dresses when Princess Caroline got married in Monaco a few years ago. It is definitely the top royal standard in Europe.

Then, the relatives of the Gu family watched Ye Wan at the first table, leading the American guests to chat and laugh calmly. The topics were often the major events that determined the fate of the Japanese capital market at Watsonton's "amphibious club"... Then Principal Liu and Han Ting also brought melons and casual translations.

Or it was the relatives of the Xiao family who listened to Akio Morita and Senior Bill, and Peterson chatting about major events.

"Mi...Mina, what were they saying?" Su Ping was a little curious and asked in a low voice.

"President Morita is asking Mr. Peterson why he hasn't settled the equity of those Privatized Nails. Let me explain that Columbia Pictures is one of the eight major Hollywood filmmakers in the United States. President Morita seems to have spent more than 2 billion US dollars to acquire..."

"No need to explain, I know this." Su Ping interrupted ashamedly, "Our family is from Hujiang Studios at least, and we still know about the things in the industry. Columbia Pictures..."

Su Ping is also a staff member of the three major domestic film studios. In 1988, she was definitely one of the most "open-eyed" people in the outside world about film and television in China.

If I were to change the person who didn't understand it, it would be difficult to understand how much the words Mina translated.

A few of my son-in-law's friends, who were arguing at the wedding dinner table, could instantly kill a major acquisition case of one of the eight major American filmmakers... There is really no one in this circle of friends.

Mina did not realize at all and helped Xiao's family continue to translate in a low voice: "President Morita and Mr. Galvin, with Senior Bill... Uh, I shouldn't call Senior Bill. What they talked with was that when they helped Bill do a good job in the Southern Economic Development Policy Committee, they did job creation and investment diversion work, which should be rewarded...

You should understand that although Americans have been promoted and changed positions, they still have to fulfill what they promised in their original positions."
