After the ups and downs of 2001, the charity banquet in 2002 was more powerful than ever before.
Although the recovery of the Internet economy has experienced some twists and turns, there is no suspense after all.
The growth of the Asia Pacific region into a new global investment hotspot was also reflected in the charity dinner.
This can be seen from the fact that Apocalypse investment was invited to become one of the three sponsors of the banquet.
When Wu Tao and his party arrived, the scene could be said to be more starry and lively than the red carpet show in Hollywood.
There are luxury cars everywhere and beautiful women everywhere.
Correspondingly, there are even more security personnel than the guests at the banquet.
The door opened under the guard of Song Zhuang and his party. Wu Tao was the first to get off and was shrouded in a burst of long guns and short guns.
It really smells like walking on the red carpet.
Wu Tao tried to keep his eyes wide open, so as not to be photographed at the moment of closing his eyes and become black material for some unscrupulous media to ridicule gimmicks.
Fortunately, his angry eyes were only a few seconds, so he turned and stretched out his arms, with a full gentleman's style, and picked up Molly, panis and Ivanka.
These three beautiful ocean horses have long been used to such big scenes with long guns and short guns. In particular, Ivanka, tall and beautiful, has been trained on the T-stage with countless spotlights.
So the three foreign girls stood behind them, and the long guns and short guns immediately found a new focus.
At this time, Wu Tao had the opportunity to face Liu Ruoxi, who was still cramped in the car, stretch out his right hand and show an encouraging smile.
Since she was chosen as the female partner of the charity dinner by her boss, Liu Ruoxi has experienced more than two hours of fear, sadness and joy.
It was not until she was dressed up in a dress of millions of yuan from head to toe that she regained some confidence.
But just along the way, listening to the gossip of three foreign girls and witnessing their flirting with their boss, she slipped up again.
After all, Zhu Yu is in the front, so he must not become a mu Du, and then humiliate the boss.
Take a deep breath, Liu Ruoxi's chest gradually calmed down, and then the slender hand and bright wrist took Wu Tao's right hand, such as white jade out of the box and went underground.
An elegant cheongsam full of Chinese style, with carefully crafted precious jade bracelet gestures and embroidered LV handmade leather bag, Liu Ruoxi attracted all the focus and attention as soon as she appeared.
The long guns and short guns originally focused on three beautiful foreign girls were immediately transferred to her.
At first, Liu Ruoxi was still a little flustered until Wu Tao's encouragement that "you are the most beautiful" came to her ears. Then she burst into a smile and was relieved in the face of many cameras.
In fact, Wu Tao is not worried about Liu Ruoxi's image at all.
This million dollar dress was originally made for an Rong. Until an Rong couldn't get away with IBM's affairs, he had to find someone else to replace him temporarily.
As for the local circle in California, I once appeared as Molly's boyfriend, and now I bring such a fresh and beautiful Chinese girlfriend, which is not a problem at all.
Importantly, Molly needs to appear at the front desk in an independent capacity at this strategically significant charity dinner, and he also needs to bring Chinese style and Chinese elements to this western traditional charity dinner.
The cold wind in California is still biting.
Feeling the rapid loss of heat on his delicate body, Wu Tao resolutely took Liu Ruoxi's slender waist and stepped into the venue.
Just at this time, as one of the organizers of the dinner, Wu Yingying led people to welcome him, followed by a well-dressed old man and an unseemly old man.
This unseemly old man is no one else. It's uncle Jason.
Now with gray hair, he is stunned to take care of the fashion color. As soon as he came out, he winked at the foreign girls around him. He really couldn't see his duty as a real power figure of Morgan consortium.
As for the old man in Chinese clothes, Wu Tao doesn't know him.
But it doesn't prevent people from knowing him.
Without waiting for Wu Yingying's introduction, the old man in Chinese clothes took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "I've heard the name of president Wu for a long time, and I'm glad to see you today. I, Tang Wannian, who is in charge of the Chinese American Chamber of Commerce, can say a few words. "
Wu Tao warmly shook the other party's thin palm and said, "president Tang, I've wanted to see you for a long time. Today, we must have two more drinks. "
Tang Wannian turned sideways and said, "Mr. Wu, please!"
"President Tang, please!"
Originally a very western social occasion, Tang Wannian was stunned by the combination of China and the West.
It seemed that his status was there, and the people around him, including Jason, didn't respond.
Walking into the lobby of the hotel, people went straight to the elevator along the VIP channel. There were many polite manners in the middle. Fortunately, they finally arrived at the top floor of the hotel and the main venue of the charity dinner.
Along the way, Liu Ruoxi was always a little cramped and difficult to let go, so that he didn't even pull Wu Tao's wrist, but just clenched Xiuquan and looked ready.
Yes, I thought she was Wu Tao's girlfriend; I don't know. I thought it was a valet secretary or something.
Until the elevator door opened, others went out first. Only when Wu Tao and Liu Ruoxi were left, Wu Tao arched his elbow in each other's arms: "remember, you are my girlfriend now, not a secretary."
Liu Ruoxi blushed and took his arm a little stiff.
"You are the best."
With these words, Wu Tao stepped out of the elevator and immediately attracted the eyes of all sides in the venue.
Wu Tao glanced over and found that he knew many familiar faces.
Reese, who knew Barron weekly earlier, doesn't have to say.
Many giants known on the Tsinghua economic management advisory committee are also among them, including Henry Paulson, chairman of the committee, Christopher, President of Motorola, and so on.
Further away are the two financial giants I knew earlier, Soros and Buffett, and their spontaneous circle.
On this trip to the United States, Craig, President of Intel, and Sanders, President of AMD, who had just met, took the initiative to welcome him and extended their hands enthusiastically.
After saying hello, Wu Tao met with the governor of California and several well-dressed congressmen under the recommendation of Tang Wannian and Wu Yingying.
The governor of California, Gray Davis, is very comic, and Wu Tao has some impressions.
This impression is not because of how famous the governor is, but because his next governor is particularly famous, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
According to the information in his memory, Schwarzenegger did not take office according to the normal "on-the-job" election process, but was dismissed because the governor's lack of ability led to California's economic downturn and fiscal deficit.
Finally, after the governor was dismissed, he opened the way to Hollywood.
In this regard, it is similar to Schwarzenegger's return to politics from Hollywood.
It seems that Cao Cao is here.
Wu Tao was thinking about it. A vigorous and hearty voice came from far and now, "Hua Xia Wu, nice to meet you!"
