While Shen Qi and Old Wu were drinking tea, the Shen family had already welcomed many guests from afar.
The first to arrive were Langdon and his son.
When Langdon and his son revealed their identities, the butler was shocked. He could never imagine how the Shen family could be related to an international family like Rolando?
The scale and power of the Rolanda family far exceed those of the Wang family in Beijing, the Wei family in Magic City, and the Zhou family in Guangzhou. Even the Chen family in Jiangnan before its split had difficulty competing with the Rolanda family.
The housekeeper did not dare to neglect it and hurried to Shen Hong's study to report. He was also worried about neglecting Langdon and his son.
Shen Hong had heard the news from Shen Qi before, and the officials from Jincheng had also contacted him in advance. He naturally knew that Langdon and his son had arrived, but because Shen Qi said that he didn't need to care too much about Langdon and his son and just get along with them on an equal footing, he suppressed his inner excitement and did not take the initiative to find them, but waited at home.
After hearing the news from the housekeeper, Shen Hong also hurried out.
Getting the news in advance is one thing, but actually facing a behemoth like the Rolanda family is another matter entirely.
"Hello, Mr. Langdon! I've heard a lot about the Rolanda family, and today I finally have the chance to see them in person."
Langdon's attitude was very humble, or rather, it had to be humble, because Shen Qi was not only their benefactor, but also controlled their life and death and future to a large extent. Even if Shen Hong was only Shen Qi's junior, they dared not neglect him.
"Master Shen, you are too kind. I heard that the Shen family is developing very quickly. After coming to Jincheng and seeing it for myself, I realized that the rumors are true."
Landon was also quite capable. He started by praising the rapid development of the Shen family, which touched Shen Hong's sore spot.
During this period, Shen Hong has become somewhat numb to the outside world's praise, because when people praise him, they always emphasize Shen Qi. Although this is true, it still makes Shen Hong feel lost.
But Landon said that the rapid development of the Shen family was different, because Shen Hongcai was the head of the Shen family and controlled the direction of the Shen family's development. The rapid development of the Shen family was not only the credit of Shen Qi, but also his.
"Mr. Langdon, thank you for your compliments. Please come in!"
Shen Hong led Langdon and his son into the living room, and the housekeeper quickly brought up tea, coffee, and various snacks.
After a few brief pleasantries, Langdon said, "Master Shen, we came here in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare anything. We only brought some simple gifts to congratulate Master Shen Qiu and Miss Wei Yingrong on their wedding."
Langdon didn't understand Xia Country's customs and was used to being straightforward, so he didn't wait until the wedding day to take out the gift list.
Shen Hong was also stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Langdon did. At most, he could accept the gifts first and announce the gift list at the wedding, which would save trouble on the wedding day.
Last time at my birthday party, there were so many people giving gifts that it took a lot of time just to sort out the gifts. Now that I can do it in advance, it’s just right.
Shen Hong thought he had seen many big scenes, especially receiving all kinds of gifts at birthday parties, so he didn't pay much attention to the gift list that Langdon took out, because he felt that the Shen family no longer lacked anything.
But when he opened the gift list, he was still stunned.
The gift list sent by Langdon and his son is indeed extraordinary!
The first gift turned out to be 90% of the shares of a European business intelligence consulting company.
Although it is illegal to openly steal business intelligence, there are many people willing to do so as long as the method is covert enough and no evidence is found.
Although this business intelligence consulting company is not very large, it is an industry under the name of the Rolanda family after all, and the company's reputation and capabilities are absolutely guaranteed.
The Rolanda family retained 10% of the shares not because they were reluctant to give them all to the Shen family, but because only when they held 10% of the shares could they legitimately use the power of the Rolanda family to help the company continue to develop.
In other words, Rolanda wants to give part of their global intelligence network to the Shen family!
When Landon made this decision, he was opposed by most people in the Rolanda family. They all thought that Landon was betraying the family's interests, but Landon had a way to control everyone, and even if everyone opposed it, they could not stop Landon from doing so.
Shen Hong also realized the significance of this first gift, and his attitude towards Langdon changed significantly.
They really came here to give gifts and they really want to establish a good relationship with the Shen family, so we can't neglect them.
Continuing to look at the gift list, Shen Hong discovered that there were actually quite a few antiques and cultural relics from the Xia Kingdom on it. They were all smuggled out of the Xia Kingdom a long time ago. Although the value of these antiques and cultural relics was not very high, only about 300 million, but these antiques and cultural relics were of great significance and far beyond the reach of other gifts. It can be seen that Langdon really put a lot of thought into this gift list.
"Mr. Langdon, your gift is truly precious. On behalf of the Shen family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
Langdon smiled and said, "Master Shen, you're welcome. Actually, I came here this time because I have something else I want to discuss with you."
"Please go ahead."
Langdon sat up straight and said, "Our Roland family has always been focused on intelligence, but with the development of society and technology, intelligence has become increasingly difficult to obtain. So I'd like to take this opportunity to expand Roland into other industries. Unfortunately, I haven't chosen a direction yet. I just heard that your Shen family is also interested in developing overseas. How about we start a deeper cooperation?"
Shen Hong's eyes lit up. He had the same idea. He wanted to expand the Shen family's industry overseas. It would be best if the industry could be diversified. This would be beneficial to the development of the Shen family.
It's a pity that he has no overseas connections. He has only acquired a shipping company and let Wei Yingrong set up a financial company on Wall Street. It would definitely be a good thing if he could cooperate with the Rolanda family.
However, considering what Shen Qi had told him, he suppressed his excitement and said, "This matter involves a lot of things, and it's hard for me to make the decision alone. How about this, when my second uncle comes back, I'll discuss it with him and then give you an answer. How about that?"
Langdon nodded. "Of course. Our Rolanda family is very much looking forward to cooperating with your Shen family. It would be even better if we could get Mr. Shen Qi's support."
"Hahaha! Okay! Then it's settled. I'll give you an answer right after discussing it with my second uncle. Come on, have some tea."
Shen Hong smiled happily. Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. It was really what he wanted.
The stone in Langdon's heart finally fell to the ground. The reason why he wanted to cooperate with the Shen family was mainly to show his favor to Shen Qi. As long as this matter was done, his position would be stabilized, and he could even pass it on to Joseph in the future.
So he came here specifically to cling to Shen Qi's leg.
