Chapter 647: The Ministers Are Like a City

When night falls, the Four Seasons Hotel's outdoor spotlights are lit up, and all the spaces in front of the hotel's doors are as bright as day, and the red carpet winds from the arch of the dinner hall to the edge of the road, allowing guests to step on the red carpet when they get out of the car and land.

The Four Seasons Hotel received the guest list handed over to them by Ivana very early, and naturally knew how high-end this dinner tonight was, and neither rich nor expensive could summarize these guests, they were all real figures at the top of the pyramid of American society, and money and power were the themes of tonight.

Andy not only transferred more than two dozen security guards who had not yet completed their training, but also asked the security guards of the Four Seasons Hotel to help maintain order in front of the door and ensure that there would be no moths.

After all, this dinner has spread in the upper class of Manhattan, when the US financial crisis broke out, when the global financial market was seriously affected, this dinner hosted by Andy Smith, the world's youngest billionaire, almost included Wall Street real power figures, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and Warren Buffett Dozens of billionaires.

NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX in the United States filmed the live broadcast car parked on the side of the road for the whole live broadcast, and the security guards at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel pulled up fences on both sides of the red carpet to prevent overcrowded reporters from rushing into the red carpet area.

Looking at the crowded and noisy scene outside, the sensational effect caused, Andy didn't react much, he was still calm, but Ivana who was holding his arm had a blush of excitement on her fair face, and the upturned curvature of the corners of her mouth on both sides did not mean to return to its original position.

With a faint smile on his face, Andy calmly patted Ivana's little hand and said, "Let's go, our first guest has arrived." ”

"Hmm. Ivana took a deep breath secretly, and a brighter smile appeared on her extremely ruddy face.

The prince and princess, touted by the New York media, stood at the doorway, with elegant smiles on their faces, and welcomed their first guest, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, under a flash of flashing lights that seemed to be daylight.

With a gray and white beard, a shiny head, a hairstyle like a head, and a faint smile on his face, looking at the pair of young handsome guys and beauties in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, what an enviable pair of young people.

"Hello, Mr. Bernanke, welcome, I'm Andy Smith, and this is my girlfriend Ivana TLP. Andy shook Bernanke's hand with a confident smile.

"Thank you both for having me, it's a great honor... Bernanke smiled and shook hands with Andy, and shook hands with the extremely elegant Ivana, after all, it was the first time to meet, not so familiar, the veneer gift was still waived, what should I do if the beard is tied with someone's delicate face...

Then the three of them stood together, and after the reporters were beating wildly, a waiter behind him stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lead Bernanke into the banquet hall.

The second to arrive was a blonde woman in her fifties wearing a black tank top evening gown, slowly walking towards Andy and Ivana in a flash of light.

Ivana said in a slightly imperceptible voice a little unnaturally, "I'm sorry, dear, this lady I... ”

"Don't worry, I've got you covered. Andy smiled softly, he knew that Ivana might not recognize anyone, she had been busy preparing for the dinner party during this time, how could she have that time to memorize the hero genealogy, you must know that in the upper class society of New York, a skill that must be mastered is to say the other party's family name correctly, and if you say it wrong, you will definitely offend people, and you will be ridiculed, this is a very serious matter, fortunately Andy has an unforgettable plug-in, otherwise he will also have a headache about this matter.

"Hello, Lady Mary Shapiro, welcome, I'm Andy Smith, and this is my girlfriend Ivana... ”

"Thank you, it's an honor to be invited to tonight's dinner, and it's a pleasure to meet both. Marie Shapiro had a warm smile on her face, admiring Andy and Ivana, two beautiful young men.

After the veneer ceremony, Ivana and Marie Shapiro stood together so that the reporters could take a picture.

Looking at the back of Mary Shapiro walking into the hotel, Ivana asked curiously in a whisper, "Who is this Shapiro lady?"

"The head of the federal financial regulator is hopefully the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). ”

As time went on, more and more guests arrived, and there were several people walking back and forth on the red carpet, Andy and Ivana were still welcoming with elegant and calm smiles, until Warren Buffett arrived, this old guy came with his little wife, Nima, it really made envy and jealousy.

"Andy, you are such a shrewd boy, I have to admire, no wonder you can accumulate so much wealth in such a short time, your control of timing is simply genius. Warren Buffett did not hesitate to praise Andy, to be honest, tonight's dinner is definitely a feast, to be able to gather so many big people together, I have to say that Andy is definitely taking advantage of the first, and then the people who join Wall Street do need an opportunity to communicate with each other.

Andy held the right dinner at the right time and invited more appropriate guests, no matter who it is difficult to choose to refuse after seeing the guest list, this can no longer be described as shrewd, but cunning, so young to play a clever hand, I have to admire, this is undoubtedly a valuable asset to Andy's network resources.

"As a latecomer to Wall Street, I am very honored to be admired by you, I just want to make a little contribution to Wall Street, so that I, a newcomer, can throw bricks and jade for all the bigwigs, which is what I should do. Andy said with a calm smile, not caring at all about Warren Buffett's old guy's ridicule, which is thicker than his face, he doesn't think he will lose to others.

Sure enough, listening to Andy's cheap and obedient words, Buffett almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Ahem... Hehe, okay, you kid is really good, let's go, let's go in together, you don't really want to keep greeting you, do you?" said the old guy angrily.

"You two please come in first, there are a few more guests to greet. Andy motioned to the waiter behind him to lead Buffett and his little wife inside.

The arrival of Alexander from the Houston Rockets caused an uproar among reporters, and it seemed to confirm the rumors that had been hyped up for a long time, and it seemed that Andy Smith was really going to buy the Rockets.

The arrival of David Stern completely confirmed the news of the acquisition, and they all guessed that the transaction should have reached the final stage.

And NBA President David Stern has a huge impression of Andy Smith, who is about the same age as his grandson, to know that there are many people who ask him if there are any extra invitations to tonight's dinner, and the names of those people in the attached banquet list are definitely an excellent occasion for him to expand his network, and he absolutely agrees that Andy Smith wants to enter the NBA, like Andy, a rich man who has great fame and influence all over the world, it is definitely very beneficial to join the NBA family。

"Young people, you are very welcome to the NBA family, and the league needs to be reinvigorated. David Stern smiled kindly and shook Andy's hand.

"Thank you, it's been a pleasure to work with you. Andy said with a smile.

After David Stern nodded happily and walked into the hotel, Andy looked at Ivana, whose smile had not disappeared, and said softly: "Hold on... ”

"I'm not tired, don't worry. Ivana had a happy sweet smile on her face, she was very happy tonight, and she didn't feel tired at all, especially when she heard Andy say that this is my girlfriend Ivana, when she saw that her face became very ugly, and she couldn't bear the unwilling Amanda that little Bichi, she was almost happy.

"Okay, here, on the left is Mawson, the head of the football department of my sports investment company, and on the right should be David Dunn, the former vice president of the Arsenal club, who was invited from the United Kingdom, is a strong figure in British football for many years, not only has the power to the Premier League, but also has the right to speak in European football, I want to hire him to be the spokesperson for my acquisition of the Premier League club and the chairman of the future club. Andy had a smile on his face, and quickly introduced Ivana in his mouth, looking at the two people walking quickly across the red carpet, and when they were three steps away, Andy stepped forward with a charming smile and reached out to shake David Dunn's hand.

"Welcome, Mr. Dunn, I'm Andy Smith... ”

"Thank you for having me, Mr. Smith, it has been my pleasure ... ”

Andy watched David shake hands with Ivana with a smile on his face, and he reached out to shake Mawson's hand and said, "Hard work." ”

"It's nothing. Mawson replied.

"Mr. Dunn, please, let's go in, the guests are almost here, and I, the host, don't show up all the time, let's go." ”

With a faint smile on his face, Andy walked into the hotel with his glamorous girlfriend, David Dunn, and Mawson, and walked down the red carpet into the dinner hall.
