As the most prosperous area in Shanghai, the Bund gathers many luxury hotel brands, and the Peninsula Hotel is definitely the most representative one.
The entire hotel is the only newly built building on the Bund in decades.
Compared with other hotels on the Bund, the interior space has a stronger sense of design, but the appearance and style are perfectly integrated with the surrounding buildings.
This fashionable, gorgeous and classical design has made the Peninsula Hotel very popular with some celebrities and the petty bourgeoisie.
However, since noon yesterday, the Peninsula Hotel has stopped receiving customers.
Today, many customers who came here to dine at the Michelin restaurant in the hotel and check in for afternoon tea were politely rejected.
Since 7 o’clock in the evening, various luxury cars have been driving into the Peninsula Hotel.
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lincoln, Ferrari, Lamborghini, it seems that there is an endless stream of luxury cars, forming an extremely luxurious fleet.
The Bund has always been a playground for the rich, and there is no shortage of luxury cars on the road at any time, but the scene of so many luxury cars rushing into the Peninsula Hotel together still attracted a lot of attention.
Some well-informed “socialites” who happened to be nearby also came to the door of the Peninsula Hotel.
Because today’s guests are all super-high-end private banking customers of China Merchants Bank in East China.
In order to protect the privacy of customers, the Shanghai Branch directly booked the entire Peninsula Hotel and deployed a large number of security personnel on site.
Several women with beautiful clothes, tall and sexy figures, and similar facial features, walked into the hotel with indifferent expressions carrying branded bags.
But as soon as they walked out of the hotel courtyard, they were stopped and expelled by security personnel.
Although they did not get into the venue, many socialites did not disperse, gathering not far from the door and discussing in a low voice.
“Sisters, who knows what’s going on inside? Why are there so many luxury cars?”
“I haven’t received any news, but it should be an event held by China Merchants Bank. Didn’t you see that many of the people standing at the door to receive guests are wearing China Merchants Bank uniforms?”
“It shouldn’t be an internal event, after all, there are so many luxury cars. Could it be a customer appreciation banquet?”
“No, China Merchants Bank’s customer appreciation banquet was held just before the New Year. My godfather took me there at that time. The specifications were incomparable to today’s.”
As everyone was discussing, they suddenly saw a cool Porsche 918 not far away, driving towards the hotel entrance.
One of the women’s eyes lit up and exclaimed:
“This seems to be Wang Shichong’s car, right?”
“It’s true. I saw it at the TAXX bar last month. He drove this car at that time!”
“The person who just went in also looked familiar. He seemed to be the CEO of a company. How many rich people came tonight?!”
Although it was unclear what event the Peninsula Hotel was holding tonight,
But many celebrities at the door had the same idea, if only they could enter the hotel…
Some people couldn’t help but pick up their phones to take pictures.
The security guards at the door could only prevent these people from getting in. They couldn’t stop others from taking pictures from a distance, so they could only block the other party’s camera as much as possible.
Around 7:20, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door of the hotel.
As soon as the car stopped, Butler Liu got out of the co-pilot, walked quickly to the back and respectfully opened the back door.
The Peninsula Hotel and Bulgari Hotel are only a few hundred meters away, but Butler Liu is still very considerate and arranged a more suitable Phantom as a means of transportation.
Zhang Zhe stepped out of the car and extended his hand to Lin Weiwei in the car in a gentlemanly manner.
Although the evening dress looks good, it is a bit inconvenient to move. Lin Weiwei held Zhang Zhe’s hand and got out of the car carefully, smiling like a flower:
“Thank you, husband!”
Bai Lu had been waiting at the door, and when she saw Zhang Zhe get out of the car, her eyes widened instantly.
Today’s Zhang Zhe was more stunning than any other time she had seen him before, with a unique noble temperament.
Bai Lu stood there in a daze, feeling that Zhang Zhe, dressed in a white suit, seemed to be emitting a dazzling light, firmly attracting her attention.
Noticing her abnormality, the middle-aged man next to Bai Lu looked at her meaningfully and asked:
“Is this Mr. Zhang?”
Hearing the voice of the president, Bai Lu suddenly came back to her senses and nodded subconsciously:
“Yes!”
“Then don’t be stunned, why don’t you go up to greet him?”
Bai Lu woke up from a dream, walked quickly to Zhang Zhe, bowed slightly and said:
“Mr. Zhang!”
Then the slightly plump and imposing man next to her extended his hand enthusiastically:
“Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Zeng Boyuan, the president of the Shanghai Branch of China Merchants Bank Private Banking.”
Zhang ZheHe shook his hand and said:
“Hello, President Zeng.”
“Mr. Zhang, I am really ashamed to say this.”
Zeng Boyuan held Zhang Zhe’s hand tightly, and said with some self-blame:
“As the most distinguished customer of our bank, I should visit you in person, but I have not been able to find time recently because of the cocktail party tonight. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhang…”
Zeng Boyuan, the president of CMB Private Banking in Shanghai, is responsible for the business of the entire East China region.
But facing Zhang Zhe, Zeng Boyuan’s attitude is extremely enthusiastic, even a little respectful.
Bai Lu had clearly conveyed the idea of inviting Zhang Zhe to dinner before, but Zhang Zhe refused. Now he said it was his own mistake and deliberately lowered his posture.
As a senior bank executive, no one knows better than him what it means to have more than 1 billion cash in a private account for a long time.
Unlike Bai Lu, Zeng Boyuan has the authority to check the source of Zhang Zhe’s funds and knows that Zhang Zhe’s money comes from the international financial market.
A young man who has just graduated from college can make so much money in the international financial market. He is either a financial genius or has a deep background.
Either way, it is worth his best to maintain this relationship.
After all, Zhang Zhe’s more than 1 billion yuan of funds, after being fully operated through loans and other means, can bring hundreds of millions of profits to China Merchants Bank every year.
If Zeng Boyuan wants to consolidate his current position, or even go further, he must maintain these big customers.
Just listen to the polite words. Although the other party has lowered his posture, Zhang Zhe will not feel superior because of this.
Zeng Boyuan’s status is here, and his power is still very large. Zhang Zhe smiled and replied:
“President Zeng, you are too polite. I have been a little busy recently. I appreciate your kindness.”
“Haha, I hope you don’t mind.”
Zeng Boyuan smiled and said:
“Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for choosing our China Merchants Bank. In order to repay your support and trust in us, we have specially prepared some small gifts. Bai Lu will pass them to you later.”
“Because there are many customers coming tonight, I have to continue to receive them for a while, so I won’t disturb your interest.”
“Okay, President Zeng should be busy.”
At this time, Zeng Boyuan saw another big customer arriving, and hurriedly told Bai Lu:
“Bai Lu, help me entertain Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang.”
“Okay, President, I understand!”
Bai Lu nodded, bent down slightly and stretched out her hand to make an invitation gesture:
“Mr. Zhang, Ms. Lin, please come this way…”
