American Fortune Life
Chapter 647: Chenmenru
When the night came, all the outdoor spotlights of the Four Seasons Hotel lit up. All the space in front of the hotel's door was bright as day. On the red carpet.
Four Seasons Hotel received the list of guests that Ivana gave them very early. Naturally, it is clear how high-end this dinner is. Tonight, rich or expensive, cannot sum up these guests. They are the top of the real American society's pyramid. People, money, power are the main themes tonight.
Andy not only transferred the security guards who had not completed the training to more than 20 people, but also asked the security of the Four Seasons Hotel to help maintain order in front of the door and ensure that no moths would appear.
After all, this banquet has spread in the high society of Manhattan. When the US financial crisis broke out and the global financial markets were severely affected, this time, the world's youngest billionaire Andy Smith hosted it, almost including Wall Street. The powerful people, the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, the Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the Buffett's dinner of dozens of billionaires, not only the media reporters paid great attention, but even the people were equally curious, even some foreign media Is very concerned.
Nbc, abc, cbs, and fox in the United States took live broadcast cars and parked them on the side of the road for the full live broadcast. The Four Seasons Hotel was pulled up by fences on both sides of the red carpet by security guards to prevent crowded reporters from rushing into the red. Blanket area.
Looking at the crowded, noisy scenes and sensational effects outside, Andy didn't react very much, and remained calm and calm. Instead, Ivana's fair face with his arms in his arms was filled with excited red halo, the corners of his mouth The upward curvature does not mean to return to its original position.
With a slight smile on Andy's face, he patted Ivana's little hand calmly and said, "Let's go, our first guest is here."
"Um." Ivana breathed a deep breath, showing a brighter smile on her rosy cheek.
The pair of princes and princesses touted by the New York media stood at the door, with an elegant and calm smile on their faces, and welcomed the first guest of the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke under the flash of daylight.
The grey-faced beard, shiny head, hair-like hairstyle, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the young handsome beauty in front of him, can not help but sigh secretly, really a pair of enviable young people .
"Hello, Mr. Bernanke, welcome to you. My name is Andy Smith and this is my girlfriend Ivana tlp." Andy shook hands with Bernanke with a confident and calm smile.
"Thank you for the invitation, it ’s a great honor ..." Bernanke smiled and shook hands with Andy, and shook hands with Ivana, who was extremely elegant. After all, it was the first time to meet. Not so familiar. Now, what to do with a big beard and a tricky face ...
Then the three stood together, and after the reporters snapped a shot, a waiter behind him reached out and led Bernanke into the banquet hall.
The second person to come was a blonde woman in her fifties wearing a black vest and evening dress, slowly walking towards Andy and Ivana in a flash.
Ivana said a little unnaturally in an obscure voice: "Sorry, dear, this lady I ..."
"Relax, everything has me." Andy smiled softly. He knew that Ivana didn't necessarily recognize the person. He had been busy preparing for the dinner during this time. In high society in New York, one of the skills that must be mastered is to get the family name of the other person right. If it is wrong, it will definitely offend people and be laughed at. This is a very serious matter. Dee has an unforgettable plug-in, otherwise he will have a headache.
"Hello, Ms. Marie Shapiro. Welcome to you. My name is Andy Smith. This is my girlfriend Ivana ..."
"Thank you. It's a great honor to be invited to the dinner tonight, and it's a pleasure to meet the two." Marie Shapiro has a kind smile on her face, and appreciates Andy and Ivana, the beautiful young people.
After Ivana and Marie Shapiro's face-to-face ceremony, they stood together so that reporters could take a picture.
Watching Mary Shapiro's back as she walked into the hotel, Ivana whispered curiously, "Who is this Shapiro?"
"The head of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority is very likely to succeed the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (sec)."

As time progressed, more and more guests arrived, and several people were walking back and forth on the red carpet. Andy and Ivana were still welcoming with elegant and calm smiles, until the arrival of Warren Buffett, this old The guy brought his little wife, Nima, really makes envy, envy and hate.
"Andy, you are really a shrewd kid and have to let me admire it. No wonder you can accumulate so much wealth in such a short time. Your control over timing is a genius." Warren Buffett did not hesitate to Andy's compliment, to be honest, the dinner tonight is definitely a horrible event. Being able to bring so many big people together, I have to say that Andy definitely took the first big advantage, and then joined the crowd on Wall Street. It really needs an opportunity to communicate with each other.
Andy held the right dinner at the right time and invited more appropriate guests. It is difficult for anyone to choose to decline after seeing the guest list. This can no longer be described by savvy, but cunning, so The clever advantage of playing at a young age has to be admired. This is undoubtedly a valuable asset to Andy's network resources.
"As a newcomer to Wall Street, I am very honored to receive your compliment. I just want to make a small contribution to Wall Street, and let me be a newcomer to help you guys, and I should do it." Andy calmly calmly Smiled and said that he didn't care about Warren Buffett's ridicule, which was thicker than his face, and he didn't think he would lose to others.
Sure enough, listening to the words of Andy who got a cheap sale, Buffett almost spit out old blood.
"Ahem ... okay, okay, your kid really does, go, let's go in together, wouldn't you really want to be greeted all the time?" The old guy said angrily.
"You two, please come in first, and a few guests need to be greeted." Andy motioned the waiter behind him to lead Buffett and his little wife inside.
The arrival of the Houston Rockets' Alexander has caused a commotion among reporters. It seems to confirm the rumors that have been heated up. It seems that Andy Smith really wants to acquire the Rockets.
The arrival of David Stern has thoroughly confirmed the news of the acquisition, and they have guessed that the transaction should have reached the final stage.
And NBA President David Stern has a huge favor for this young Andy Smith, who is about the same age as his grandson. To know this evening tonight, many people have asked themselves if they have any extra invitations. And the names of those included in the banquet list are definitely a great occasion for him to expand his network. He absolutely agrees with Andy Smith to enter NBA. A rich man like Andy, who has a huge reputation and influence in the world. It is definitely beneficial to join the NBA family.
"Young people, you are very welcome to join the NBA family. The alliance needs to inject new vitality." David Stern smiled amusedly and shook hands with Andy.
"Thank you, I am honored to work with you," Andy said with a smile.
After David Stern nodded happily into the hotel, Andy looked at Ivana with a smile on her face that never disappeared, and said softly, "Hold on ..."
"I'm not tired, rest assured." Ivana smiled happily on her face. Tonight she was very happy, and she didn't feel tired at all, especially when I heard Andy say this was my girlfriend Ivan. Nashi, when she saw that her face became very ugly, she was very happy when she was forced to endure the small **** of Amanda.
"Okay, here it is. On the left is Mosen, the director of the football department of my sports investment company. On the right, it should be David Dunn, the former vice chairman of the Arsenal club from the United Kingdom. It is a strong football player for many years. Characters, not only the power of the Premier League, but also the right to speak in European football. I want to hire him to be the spokesperson for the acquisition of the Premier League club and the chairman of the future club. Taking an introduction, watching the two men walking quickly across the red carpet, and three steps away, Andy stepped forward with a charming smile and reached out to shake hands with David Dunn.
"Welcome you, Mr. Dunn, I'm Andy Smith ..."
"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Smith. This is my pleasure ..."
With a smile on his face, Andy watched David shake hands with Ivana, and he reached out and shook hands with Moson and said, "It's hard."
"It's nothing," Moson replied.
"Mr. Dunn, please, let's go in. The guests are almost there. It's not good for me to be the host and I won't show up. Let's go."
With a smile on his face, Andy brought his glamorous girlfriend, David Dunn, and Moson into the hotel and walked into the dinner hall along the red carpet.
