【1140】 The feast of the giants
The star-studded red carpet ceremony satisfies the reporters and TV audiences. Apart from the Oscars and Lawrence Awards ceremony, it is difficult for people to see so many big-name stars on the same occasion.
Through the TV signal, millions of viewers understand and understand the situation of the "Ginkgo Foundation", which further enhances the foundation's influence on a global scale.
Although the Ginkgo Foundation does not accept donations from ordinary people, there are still many benefits to improving the foundation's influence. For example, more wealthy people will choose to hand over their donations to the Ginkgo Foundation to help more vulnerable groups; in addition, more and more caring people, professionals will actively join the foundation's volunteer ranks;...
This is also an important reason why Xiao Feng insists on holding a red carpet ceremony before the celebration party, because only in this way can the "Ginkgo Foundation" be understood by more people and play a more active role.
For cultural and sports stars who participated in the red carpet ceremony, "Dream Manor" has built a platform for global audiences, allowing them to show their style to global fans and audiences in this way.
Whether it is for the sake of popularity, image establishment and advertising revenue, such a grand and world-renowned red carpet ceremony is always beneficial.
…………
After the red carpet ceremony, media reporters had no choice but to leave the "Dream Manor". The subsequent celebration parties and charity auctions will not be made public. After all, many super rich people are involved, and they do not want their private image to be reported.
Although some journalists were unwilling to accept it, the security personnel of the "Dream Manor" were staring at all the reporters evacuated from the small square. The reporters were helpless even if they wanted to make small moves.
The first half of the celebration party is open to the media and the public. In the following banquets and charity auctions, only media with close relationships with "Jinghu Group" can enter the venue for filming, and the content of the report will be strictly required by "Jinghu Group".
Even so, reporters from China TV Economic Channel, Inspur, ABC and other media, which obtained interview permission, still received envious gazes from their peers.
Don’t you see that European and American media have been shouting the slogan of “freedom of the press”, but this is just a booing head in external propaganda. Faced with the super wealthy families who are in charge of the lifeline of the United States, they dare not say a word of nonsense.
In the eyes of many Chinese people, European and American media and journalists are a transcendent existence. They satisfy people's various longings and fantasies about journalists. However, only Xiao Feng, a super rich man who penetrates it, knows that European and American media are not as perfect as people imagine.
In China, news and public opinion must be controlled by the Propaganda Department. The "River Crab God" is everywhere. News media people should pay attention to "party spirit". This makes many people who admire foreign countries think that the domestic market is implementing news control and blindly believe that Western society is the real "news freedom".
In fact, European and American media are also subject to international control, especially the capital behind media groups, which represents the national background of Europe and the United States, and their reports also have many restrictions.
For example, a considerable number of the leaders of the behind-the-scenes consortiums who came to the "Dream Manor" to interview the media attended the celebration party, and naturally, "freedom of the press" could not be required to be on the head of their own boss.
Therefore, the so-called "press freedom" is just a gimmick, and the "capital" in European and American society is the most important force.
As a Chinese, Xiao Feng has not yet made plans to give up his Chinese nationality. Why can he have a wide influence in the United States? It would be too much of a joke to say that this was won back on the basketball court.
The reason why Xiao Feng became an important partner of many wealthy consortiums in the United States and became a guest of American political tycoons, in addition to some benefits brought by the "Space Spirit Spring", the huge capital behind him also provided him with a strong backing.
Today, the total industrial value of the "Mirror Lake Group" in the United States has exceeded US$20 billion, bringing more than 10,000 jobs to the local area and driving huge consumption of more than 2 million overseas tourists. The organic ingredients of "Mirror Farm" and the top steak of "Dream Ranch" have become one of the most important daily consumptions for the middle class and above in the United States.
Once any fluctuation occurs in Xiao Feng and the "Jinghu Group" industry, it will affect the lives and even survival problems of tens of thousands of Americans, which will inevitably attract attention from the American authorities and various consortiums.
In this way, Xiao Feng, a young man holding a Chinese passport, became an important figure in America, and he held a celebration party full of guests.
At the celebration party tonight, Li Minghua, Consul of the Consulate General of the Chinese Empire in Los Angeles, attended the dinner and will present a special meaning at a later charity auction. Although Hillary Clinton, the first female president in American history, was unable to attend the party, he still recorded a video to congratulate the Lakers and Xiao Feng, inviting Xiao Feng to lead the team to the White House in September...
In the United States, Xiao Feng has become a very special existence. He is rich and has a wide influence in the economic field. In addition, Xiao Feng's special background has become a buffer and microphone between the Chinese Empire and the American Empire. It is reasonable for all walks of life to pay attention to him.
…………
The main building of the ‘Dream Restaurant’ is brightly lit, and countless colorful lights are also drawn on the lawn in front of the main building. The entire banquet venue is decorated with colorful brilliance, which is impressive.
In a corner of the lawn, two piles of burning flames reddish the guests' faces, allowing them to feel the enthusiasm of their masters on this hot summer day.
As a three-star Michelin chef, Xiao Jinhao was the chef of the banquet today, which was enough to satisfy the guests. In order to entertain Middle Eastern guests from afar, Xiao Jinhao prepared two roasted lambs, and the rich fragrance began to spread throughout the venue.
In addition to the fragrant roasted lamb, there are a wide range of delicacies at the banquet. Although many guests rarely eat when attending various banquets, if they don’t eat at the “Dream Manor” banquet, it is not sociable.
Therefore, at the celebration dinner at the "Dream Manor", a scene that is rarely seen at the cold Western dinner party. Many guests in suits and ties and luxurious dresses ate various delicacies regardless of their image, and even hot food such as Chinese-flavored roast duck, which is also intoxicating.
As the masters, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao wandered among the guests with wine glasses. Thanks to their amazing memory, they responded appropriately to each guest, and at least they would not make mistakes.
Whenever they meet a guest, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can tell what each other is proud of recently. This attitude makes the guests feel like spring breeze, and their senses towards Xiao Feng and his wife are getting better and better.
The guests raised their glasses to congratulate Xiao Feng. Whether it was Newcastle United's defending the "Four-Crown Championship" or the Lakers' three consecutive championships, they were amazing achievements in sports history. Of course, during the chat, everyone also expressed the highest praise for the food and wine tonight.
The wine used at today's banquet comes from "Xiao Family Winery", "No. 2 Winery" and "Dream Winery". The guests can choose from various wines of various grades in each year, and the guests can choose from their own tastes.
Guests who like the mellow taste can choose the dry red that is aged in 10 years in "Xiaoshi Winery". This is also the oldest wine in "Jinghu Group". It may not be possible to buy it for a price of US$3,880 on the market.
Guests who like refreshing mineral flavors can choose the "No. 2 Work" that was successfully brewed last year. The California sunshine and the soil of Napa Valley, coupled with the perfect fusion of "Space Spirit Spring", has created a unique top-notch wine in the world. As soon as the "No. 2 Work" was launched, it immediately received a welcome from wine tasting masters and wine lovers, and its reputation has been rising.
Now, the price of "Work No. 2" on the market has exceeded US$1,800, and the increase is much higher than that of "Xiaoshi Wine". In addition to its own taste, perhaps Napa Valley also has a lot of bonuses.
Middle-aged and elderly guests who like to feel the rich temperament prefer the "Dream Wine" produced in the "Dream Wine House". This top-quality wine that is rarely seen on the market has become a peerless wine comparable to Romani Conte, and is astonishingly expensive.
The market price of a 750ml standard bottle is as high as US$13,880, which is equivalent to the income of the American middle class in one quarter. Nearly 100,000 rmb in China is an astronomical figure. A bottle of wine can be poured for about 5 cups, which means that a small sip is basically hundreds of dollars, and ordinary people don’t even think about it.
In addition to fine wine, the prices of various top-notch foods at the banquet are not low. Xiao Feng spent a lot of money to take out more money and silver from the pockets of the rich man to invest in the "Ginkgo Foundation".
Caviar (caviar), also known as fish roe sauce, means fish eggs in Persian. Strictly speaking, only sturgeon eggs can be called caviar, among which caviar produced in the Caspian Sea bordering Iran and Russia is the best quality. Not all sturgeon eggs can be made into caviar. There are more than 20 different sturgeons worldwide, including only three varieties of fish eggs, O-private etra and color V-melting ga. The most advanced sturgeon eggs have less than 100 tails per year, and caviar must be made into caviar for over 60 years old.
Caviar has been praised by the world for more than 2,000 years. Aristotle had already recorded a note for it in the 4th century BC. Since then, scholars and scholars drooled between the lines, including history, from Rabelais, Shakespeare, to Evelynwauyh; it is said that when the gourmet Mr. Liang Shiqiu fell in love with Han Jingqing, he took her to eat caviar for a week.
The best egg quality of sturgeons can produce the most precious and rare caviar in the world. The color of sturgeons ranges from light gray to gray-black. It has a delicate transparent film that surrounds slightly larger roe and has always been the title of Caspian pearl.
Caviar from the Caspian Sea is obtained from the body of beluga sturgeons weighing nearly 1,000 kilograms. These sturgeons have a lifespan of nearly 60 years and have a maximum output of about 100 per year. These caviars with slightly golden gloss in the black luster are known as "black gold". They are even equivalent to gold. The price of US$40 per gram is infinitely close to the international gold price level.
Caviar salad, caviar lobster and other delicacies are prepared by top chefs on site. When delivered to the guests, they can still maintain an amazing taste, making the guests praise them.
The "Dream Steak" produced in "Dream Ranch" is currently the top beef in the world after Kobe Wagyu beef. The beef breed has been restricted from leaving the country by the American Ministry of Agriculture. A 200-gram "Dream Steak" is sold at a price of up to $300 on the market, but at this banquet, it is just an ordinary delicacy.
When chefs cook steaks, in addition to adding plateau rose salt with a production value of Peru, fresh truffles are also added. These top white truffles produced from the "Xiaojia Farm" are sold at a price of more than US$2,000 per kilogram, and are in short supply.
It can be said that the most expensive foods in the world all year round are currently appearing at this banquet. Because the banquet scene is too luxurious, Xiao Feng had to restrict media reporters from entering, otherwise this wealthy feast that cost more than US$3 million will definitely be criticized by many media and the public tomorrow.
In addition to providing the guests with a variety of top-notch food and wine at the banquet, Xiao Feng also prepared a generous gift for each guest present, including the health fruit wine brewed by Xiao Feng himself. It is difficult to measure by market price, but it is extremely precious!
As the saying goes, "there are soft-hearted people and the hands are short-handed." I believe these guests will not be too stingy in subsequent charity auctions. As long as more donations are raised, all this effort will be worth it.
The rehabilitation cost for a child with leukemia and thalassemia is about $200,000. Xiao Feng’s goal tonight is to win $200 million in donations, which can help more than a thousand children, while saving their lives, and giving them a new life!
After retiring from the NBA, Xiao Feng not only focused his time and energy on his family, but also shifted his focus to charity. After all, having something to do is the best way of life.
Chapter completed!
