Li Zhenyu feels...
It was like meeting a kind old man next door, humble, polite and very wealthy.
The rest is just so-so.
It wasn't as exciting as I had imagined, but I didn't feel as much pressure either.
Perhaps it has something to do with the other person's kind appearance, or perhaps it's a subtle influence from the family.
Li from Quanzhou owns a small piece of land in South Korea and is considered a local emperor.
Having been with Lao Qiu, the "local emperor", for twenty years, I have met countless important figures and have long been accustomed to it.
"Warren, I'm honored to receive this invitation." Li Zhenyu humbly shook the other party's hand to express his excitement.
"As the chairman of the WEB, of course I have to meet the new members."
After a few pleasantries, Buffett turned his gaze to his female companion: "This beautiful lady is..."
"Mr. Warren, this is Ivan."
"Oh~ I remember now, I held you in my arms when you were a child."
The most embarrassing thing when being with an elder is to hear him/her mention the past and add a sentence like "I held you in my arms when I was a child."
Even more socially deadly than this is another sentence, "You even peed on me."
Fortunately, Big Ivan did not encounter the second situation.
Otherwise, her trip would end here.
After a few words of small talk, an old man with a well-dressed and small beard leaned over and whispered in Buffett's ear: "Sir, everyone is here."
This person is Mr. Ba's 'person close to him', and follows him wherever he goes. He is one of the people he trusts the most.
"Lee, Ivan, I need to go away for a while, have fun!"
The purpose of this party, on the surface, is to "eat, drink and have fun," and exchanging information and deepening relationships are side benefits.
He raised his glass and nodded, watching him walk towards the orchestra. Big Ivan pulled his arm and said, "Let's follow him too."
Obviously, Mr. Ba was going to give an opening speech, and as a newcomer, Li Zhenyu would naturally be the one to be introduced.
Only by standing at the front can everyone see it...
Big Ivan likes the feeling of being the center of attention. If life is a stage play, then she must be the most dazzling heroine.
No matter what the cost, she was willing to do it.
This is just her temporary thought. Perhaps Big Ivan in another world would have a different understanding of life.
“Ding ding ding~”
Mr. Ba, holding a glass of champagne and a golden spoon, tapped the wall of the glass with the spoon.
The clear echo attracted the attention of everyone present and made everyone look towards where he was.
Li Zhenyu raised his head and looked to the right. There were not many participants standing within the second and third layers of fences.
There were five groups of two people, and with the dozen or so couples around them, the total number of shareholders in New York alone did not exceed 20.
Considering the size of Berkshire Hathaway, this number is too small.
However, this also proves one point.
Those who can become shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway are naturally not ordinary people.
"First, welcome the newest member among us, Jin-woo Lee."
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Zhenyu raised his right hand holding the champagne above his head, nodded, smiled and looked around.
Wow! Accompanied by some applause, Li Zhenyu made his debut at Berkshire Hathaway.
"Asian."
“South Korea.”
"Oh, it's South Korea..."
For Lao Mei, the most familiar Asians are the Japanese devils.
I don’t know much about other countries like South Korea and Yan Country.
That's probably all they know, and the information they 'know' based on their imagination is more suitable for jokes and conversation after dinner.
However, rumors about Itaewon are widely circulated among men.
During the communication, they also expressed their great longing for it.
"Li, your good luck is really enviable."
The short guy with the side-parted hair jokingly hit his shoulder and looked at Big Ivan who was chatting with the ladies not far away.
From time to time, laughter could be heard coming from there, and Big Ivan gradually became the focus of the small circle.
It seems that she has integrated into this life and doesn't want to leave.
Big Ivan, with his delicate face and hot and domineering body, became the focus of the audience as soon as he appeared.
Wearing high heels, Big Ivan is 185cm tall, which is several centimeters taller than most men present.
Even if you don't pay special attention to her, you can't ignore her existence.
Seeing the envy and jealousy in the other's eyes, Li Zhenyu also raised his fist and hit his shoulder in the same way as him.
"Yeah, man, it's a blessing."
"Hey~"
The other party covered his shoulder and took two steps back, frowning as if expressing his inner dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Zhenyu's smile remained unchanged, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
'Is he deliberately provoking me, for Big Ivan?'
While lamenting the other party's childishness, there was a hint of disdain and mockery in his expression in response to the other party's unwarranted provocation.
This is not his home ground, but it also doesn't belong to anyone else.
Money is the only master of this country.
In the current economic crisis, he feels that his money must be more important than that of the man opposite him.
"Berkeley, you've had too much to drink." Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the man who came with him put his arm around his shoulders and whispered to him to take him away.
"Lee, don't mind it. Berkeley just drank too much. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Sending his friends to another familiar circle, Mark, who had left all of them, returned to them.
Looking at the champagne handed to him by the other party, Li Zhenyu handed the empty glass in his hand to the waiter and chose to take it.
When the other party expresses his goodwill and respect, Li Zhenyu will return the same respect.
Berkeley is Berkeley and Mark is Mark.
He would not take his anger out on Mark just because he was friends with the other party. This would be immature.
"cheers?"
"cheers."
The cups clinked lightly, and the atmosphere on the scene returned to its previous relaxed and cheerful state.
Li Zhenyu also learned about Berkeley's identity and background during the conversation.
Well, to be more precise, it's his father's identity.
A trustee of New York University, a US billionaire, and a veteran 'aristocrat' of the Upper East Side.
He often shows off the glory of being a "blue-blooded aristocrat" inherited from his mother to others and is very proud of it.
"Lee, I heard that your family has a long history in South Korea. Can you tell us about it?"
Big Ivan ended his 'secret fight' with the women and returned to his side to join the men's conversation.
Compared to the intrigues among women and the secret competitions for a button or an ornament, she prefers the topics among men, except for those obscene words that are too disgusting to look at.
