Chapter 305: No Big Shot Came
On the stock trading forum, the term 'Juqing Financial Jianghai City Exchange Venue' became popular.
There are already over 100,000 comments in the comment section, and the number is still increasing.
"I'm in Jianghai City. When does the exchange meeting start? Can I still attend even if I haven't received an invitation?"
"Look at the notice upstairs. Tonight at 22 o'clock, Junlin Hua Ting, nd floor, all investors are welcome to go!"
"What's the use of going there? Even if I get VIP status at Juqing Finance, I don't have the wealth to manage it for them."
"That's right, there's no point going without money. It would be embarrassing if a senior investor at the conference mistook me for a hotel waiter..."
"It's okay if you don't want to go and watch the fun. Anyone want to place a bet? Will Yuanxin Securities participate in this exchange meeting?"
"It's down, the odds on Li Chi attending the exchange meeting are now 1 to 28!"
"Li Chi may not go. I guess he must be in Yuanxin now, having a meeting to discuss how to challenge Ju Qing!"
"Yuanxin is in danger. With Zhou Yuan personally coming forward, there should be many investors looking to work with her. I think half of Yuanxin's cooperation orders will be cancelled after the exchange meeting is over!"
"Only half? You're underestimating JuQing's gold medal consultant!"
"It's almost eight o'clock now, and there's still no news from Yuanxin. Are they just going to watch Juqing snatch their customers away? What's going on?"
"Yuan Xin is too quiet. This is not like their style. Waiting for eight o'clock, maybe they will delay their action."
"The wise ones have already gone to King's Landing and are waiting..."
As the lights come on, the lights in the entire building of Junlin Huating will light up. It is like a golden temple shining brightly at night. The flowing neon lights on the surrounding buildings are its embellishments. Two doormen in suits stand in front of the revolving door. Through the window, you can vaguely see the splendor inside, high heels and leather shoes rising and falling, and the shiny floor reflecting the decent and illusory fame and fortune. It seems that when you enter and exit here, you have stepped into the life of the elite and the upper class.
Take the elevator directly to the 22nd floor, where the lights are even brighter. Zhou Yuan has booked three luxurious halls on this floor for meetings. There are waiters serving wine alone. Tea is served on a long table covered with white cloth. The multi-layered dessert plates made of European gold-rimmed ceramics look elegant and solemn under the lights. There are all kinds of fruits, macarons, brownies, Nagasaki honey cakes and other world-famous desserts.
In order to satisfy some investors and preferences, the hall is divided into several corners. A small band is playing next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a dining table next to the marble pillars, and a beverage chef is grinding coffee by hand.
Soothing music surrounded the entire hall, and the air was filled with the aroma of desserts, cocoa and juice. Waiters were walking around, and well-dressed people were holding up their glasses and chatting happily. Zhou Yuan was surrounded by many people, and she handled everyone like a fish in water, without making any mistakes.
In the distance, Zhao Kang watched the scene greedily, his eager eyes scanning every person present.
These are his audience and his witnesses. He will soon become famous in the eyes of these people and rise step by step by using Xu Yang as a stepping stone!
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Yuan emerged from the crowd, stood in front of him and whispered, "I'm smiling apologetically in front, and you're slacking off here?"
Zhao Kang immediately lowered his head, and where no one could see, he reached out and drew circles on the back of Zhou Yuan's hand, soothing her: "It's my fault, Yuanyuan, you've worked hard, but don't be angry, look back?"
"Look at those people. You just showed a pitiful amount of friendliness, and they were so happy as if they had won the lottery. They fawned over you, just to make you remember their names, or to make them more memorable. Yuanyuan, this is your charm. You should use it to tease them like a dog."
In his words, those investors seemed like humble ants.
But Zhou Yuan liked to hear this because in Zhao Kang's words, she was the embodiment of nobility, power, glory and wealth.
The unhappiness in her heart dissipated and she smiled: "You are so sweet-talking, so I won't punish you, but it's your turn next."
"Don't worry, leave the rest to me."
Zhao Kang winked at her and stepped forward to greet her.
Zhou Yuan finally took a breath and sat down on the sofa. There were many people present, but not enough.
She looked at her watch. It was already half past eight, why were there only so few people here?
And none of the people she had specially called to invite showed up!
Is being late a characteristic of investors in Jianghai City?
The minute hand moved a distance on the dial, and several people came one after another, but none of them were what Zhou Yuan wanted to see. Gradually, even the people present realized that something was wrong.
"I heard that the investment tycoon Mr. He was invited to this exchange meeting. Why is he not here?"
"It is said that there is also a Mr. Su who specializes in charity, but it seems that he is not here either!"
"Mr. Zhu, who is not only a great investor but also well-known in the art world, didn't come either. What's going on?"
"Yeah, it's almost nine o'clock!"
In the corner, several investors were whispering to each other and looking around in disbelief. However, they searched the entire place but could not find the person they were talking about.
But they came to this exchange meeting not for the Juqing Group. After all, with their net worth, they did not have much wealth to entrust to Juqing. However, if they could meet an experienced investor at the venue, they would make a lot of money.
In other words, they came here today because of the invitation from Juqing, a well-known investor in Jianghai City!
Now that such a long time has passed and none of the important people have come, they are getting a little restless and keep looking at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan was frightened by their gazes, so she called Gao Furong and asked sternly:
"Did you send the invitation email? Why didn't any of the important people come?"
Gao Furong pursed her lips and said, "The important people the guests mentioned were all invited by you personally, and you also gave them gifts. They received the news a long time ago."
The implication is that this has nothing to do with whether she sends the email or not!
After hearing this, Zhou Yuan's voice turned cold: "You mean those big shots don't give me, Zhou Yuan, face?"
"I didn't say that." Gao Furong lowered her head even more.
At this time, Zhao Kang also came over, his voice filled with surprise: "Something is wrong. The one who should have come didn't come, and all the people who can't help are here."
They also consumed a lot of the tea and drinks at the venue. They were simply a bunch of pigs who only came in and never left...
Zhou Yuan stabbed him with a sharp gaze: "You only realized it now? The guests are starting to doubt me. What do you think we should do now?"
Zhao Kang looked back and met many speculative gazes.
He felt a sudden panic in his heart, and consoled himself by saying, "People in Jianghai City do tend to arrive late. Perhaps those important figures are already on their way. So, Furong, go downstairs and see what's going on. If anything happens, send us a message."
