Chapter 650 You still have fun!

The first important thing when Chen Li arrived in New York was of course jet lag!

This is actually something that most people need to be concerned about when going abroad. After all, the biological clock is actually very powerful.

Of course, Chen Li is a young man, so the time difference actually causes him less trouble.

If he were to visit here privately, Chen Li might not even need to deal with the jet lag, as long as he had a good time.

But if it's serious business, then of course you need to have a good mental outlook, especially this bell-ringing ceremony, which needs to be videotaped.

Chen Li didn't want to appear in the video as a listless person.

But what can I say~ Since the biological clock is so powerful, the effect of treating jet lag is actually very bad.

So until the person sent by Howard Wise called Zhang Ruolan, Chen Li had slept for less than an hour in total.

Fortunately, Chen Li has always had short hair and didn't need to take care of it at all. He just took a shower and washed himself without spending much time.

After packing up, Chen Li met up with the well-dressed Zhang Ruolan and followed the people sent by Howard to the banquet hall.

Hmm~ Well, this meeting was actually held in the banquet hall of Chen Li’s hotel.

To say that it is to catch up with Chen Li is to put gold on Chen Li's face. To be precise, this cocktail party can be regarded as a celebration cocktail party before the successful listing of Red Pony Technology.

But if we say it’s a special celebration, that’s not entirely correct, because there will be a real celebration party after Hongma Technology’s successful listing.

Okay~ The rich people in America seem to like this kind of drinking party very much.

In fact, this thing is just like how Chinese people like to get together to eat and drink. It can be regarded as a means of socializing!

When arriving at the banquet hall, Chen Li met Howard Wise, Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi.

The latter two have been following Howard Wise for the past two days. After all, it was this person who single-handedly facilitated the listing of Red Horse Technology.

"Chen~Welcome to New York!"

"I can't wait to introduce you to some friends!"

"Chen~This is..."

"And this is my closest partner, he is"

"Oh~ I think you must have heard of this gentleman's name. He is Hollywood."

"And this charming pretty lady, she is."

When a person first arrives in a place, the first thing he does is probably make new friends.

Of course ~ this concept of "friends" does not refer to true friends, but just acquaintances!

After all, social interaction is what it is!

From not knowing each other to knowing each other, from knowing each other to being familiar with each other, once we reach this step, we can talk about cooperation or even have a deep friendship!

Today's cocktail party is in line with Chen Li's expectation for a foreign upper-class gathering. Well, how can I put it? Rich people, celebrities, handsome guys, beauties and fine wine!

Ha~ It is said to be a cocktail party, and wine is indeed an indispensable thing in this party, but in fact, wine is also the least important thing in this cocktail party.

Just like this moment~ Chen Li is holding in his hand the rumored Lafite from 1982, which was specially prepared for Chen Li by Howard West.

As for the reason, it’s because when Ma Xiaoyun and Howard Wise were bragging before, they said that the Chinese people’s favorite red wine was the 1982 Lafite.

Uh~ Well, actually Ma Xiaoyun is also a person who likes watching Hong Kong movies, so when we were bragging and chatting, we subconsciously talked about Lafite in 1982.

Chen Li is actually quite familiar with the red wine of the Lafite brand.

Of course, the Lafite that Chen Li was familiar with and the authentic Lafite were actually two different things, because although there was real Lafite in the place where he worked at that time, he certainly had no chance to drink it himself.

Don't talk about him~ Even those guests who paid money to buy wine can only drink the real thing.

And to be honest, Chen Li himself doesn't like drinking red wine.

If you really want to talk about it, I think the champagne wine tasting is acceptable, but if it doesn't work, I think the sweet sparkling wine wine wine is OK.

But Chen Li can’t drink other red wines, and he can’t get used to it either!

Of course, if we really want to chat, Chen Li can still talk to people for a while. After all, he met many people in his previous life, and there were also some people who knew a lot about red wine.

It's just that what those guys said may not necessarily be true. Chen Li has suffered from this before.

He showed off some knowledge points that others had told him, but in the end a real expert pointed out the mistakes. That is to say, Chen Li was thick-skinned at that time, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing!

So later on, Chen Li never took the initiative to talk to people about red wine, because he really didn’t understand. Even if someone occasionally talked to him, he would only treat it as a compliment!

However, even though Chen Li doesn't understand red wine, he still knows some information about Lafite.

For example, the simplest piece of information: Lafite was actually fired!

That's right~ Just like the Ace of Spades later, Lafite was actually deliberately speculated by speculators.

And the people who speculate on Lafite are most likely some wine merchants in Hong Kong City!

So think about it carefully~ There are always scenes in Hong Kong movies where rich people like to drink Lafite 1982, and then connect it to the wine merchants who speculate on Lafite. Anyone who is smart can probably guess the relationship here.

come out.

The later Ace of Spades is actually the same, and unlike Chen Li who has never drank the real 1982 Lafite, Chen Li has really drank the real Ace of Spades champagne.

But to be honest, Chen Li doesn't like the taste of Ace of Spades, and even thinks it's not as good as some 100-yuan champagne.

But what can I say~ Maybe Chen Li really doesn’t understand, or maybe the marketing of Ace of Spades is really good. In short, Ace of Spades is popular.

Of course, in 2001, there was no trace of the Ace of Spades, so what Chen Li was holding in his hand at this moment was a real glass of 1982 Lafite.

Hmm~ This bottle of wine was bought by Howard Wise, so it’s so authentic that it’s impossible to fake it.

And to be honest, in 2001, although the 1982 Lafite was already expensive, compared with later years, it was really not that rare.

The funny thing is that in 2001, there were not many 82-year-old Lafites in existence, but twenty years later, there are still a large number of 82-year-old Lafites on sale in the Chinese market.

You can imagine how tricky this is!

Chen Li actually has a box of 12 bottles of 1982 Lafite at home, which was a 20th birthday gift from Sister Xu to Chen Li.

Sister Xu spent 38,000 yuan to buy these 12 bottles of 1982 Lafite. On average, a bottle costs less than 3,200 yuan.

As for why Sister Xu sent this box of wine to Chen Li, it was mainly because Chen Li had mentioned it when chatting with Xu Xing occasionally before.

But what can I say~ This wine is still very good for collection or when entertaining certain guests!

It is said that drinking red wine requires taste! Even the way you drink red wine requires a certain degree of elegance.

This is different for Chinese people. Regardless of beer or liquor, you have to pay attention to one drink until the glass is dry!

Ahem~ Well, Chen Li does think that drinking red wine is a bit pretentious!

To put it bluntly, the so-called elegance required to drink red wine, the so-called red wine etiquette, etc., are all pretentious things created by a bunch of pretentious people.

All the hypocrisy~ the ultimate goal is just to increase the "value" of red wine, and finally obtain greater benefits.

In fact, if he really wants to drink red wine, Chen Li actually prefers to drink ordinary dry red mixed with Sprite!

Uh~ Although this way of drinking is very unsophisticated, to be honest~ as long as you mix the Sprite with the right proportion and drink it in a big mouthful~ the taste is actually quite beautiful.

However, although Chen Li doesn't like red wine very much, he can't help but drink it.

Especially in the current situation. He must hold such a cup in his hand, and there must be such a little red wine in the cup.

Every time Howard Wise introduced someone to Chen Li, Chen Li would touch the cup with the person and then take a sip of red wine.

Then, continue to repeat this step!

After going around, Chen Li could remember only a few names in total, and the amount of red wine in his glass didn't seem to decrease much.

There is no way~ Chen Li knows very little about the upper class celebrities in the United States. Basically, all the American rich people he knows are the top rich people in the world.

And it is basically impossible for a rich man of that level to come to an occasion like tonight.

Let alone that level of rich people, even Chen Li, the entertainment star who likes to attend rich people's cocktail parties, didn't recognize anyone he saw tonight.

Howard introduced a Hollywood male star to Chen Li before. Chen Li actually looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember the name.

Even though Howard Wise introduced Chen Li, the next second when Howard Wise introduced a certain beauty to Chen Li, Chen Li forgot the name of the Hollywood male star again.

It's not that Chen Li favors girls over boys! The main reason is that the Hollywood star is not famous to begin with, at least for Chen Li, a Chinese, he is not famous enough.

Moreover, Howard introduced many people to Chen Li at one time, so the number of people Chen Li could remember after a round was actually very limited.

However, the people at the scene were not unfamiliar to Chen Li, such as a long-legged beauty who was 1.73 meters tall.

Hmm~ How should I put it? In fact, this beauty Chen Li is really not that familiar. It just happened that some time ago, Chen Li just watched a movie starring this beauty.

No~ To be precise, Chen Li has actually seen this movie in his previous life, more than once.

It just happened that this movie had just been released in Europe some time ago, and Chen Li happened to see this movie on a certain movie-watching software, so Chen Li reviewed it.

In fact, Chen Li has watched this film many times in his previous life, and I would conservatively estimate it at least five times!

Because the name of this movie is "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"!

The name of the long-legged beauty Chen Li met at the cocktail party was Monica~Monica Bellucci.

In fact, speaking of Monica's career as an actress, the only one worth talking about is "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". Well, at least for Chen Li, this is the only movie he can remember.

But it was this movie that Chen Li watched no less than five times in his previous life. I have to say that this movie is actually quite rare.

You know, the foreign movies that Chen Li can watch repeatedly are basically classic movies.

For example, "The Godfather" or "Avatar" and so on!

The only reason why Chen Li has watched "Legend of Sicily" five times is actually because of Monica Bellucci.

Of course, if you really want to say that Monica Bellucci is Chen Li's goddess, that would be a bit much.

In fact, if Chen Li hadn't just watched "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" some time ago, I'm afraid Chen Li wouldn't be able to remember this person for a while.

There is no way~ Compared with those famous Hollywood female stars, this person's reputation is really far behind.

Not to mention that in 2001, Monica's fame was actually far less famous than in her previous life.

Otherwise, Monica Bellucci would not have appeared at tonight's reception.

In fact, tonight's cocktail party seems to be a gathering of rich and famous people, but in fact, if you really want to calculate it, the level of this cocktail party is actually just that.

After all, so many companies around the world have chosen to list in the United States, it can be said that such gatherings have become a daily routine for some people.

Besides, although Hongma Technology seems to be very impressive in the domestic Internet industry circle, if it really wants to get it to the United States, it is actually just that.

So~ the people who come to this cocktail party, whether it’s wealth or status, that’s all!

In the same way, the so-called stars who come here cannot compare with those top stars in terms of level.

Of course ~ this is a comparison in the circle of rich and famous people. If you compare with ordinary people, it is another matter.

In fact, if "Legend of Sicily" starring Monica Bellucci hadn't become a hit some time ago, she would probably not be qualified to come to this reception.

After all, although the people present are not among the top richest people in the United States, their energy is definitely not small.

If you can make some connections at such a cocktail party, it will be of great help to Monica's future acting career.

It is worth mentioning that not only Monica Bellucci came to this cocktail party, her husband actually came too!

Her husband, Chen Li, looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember his name, and Howard Wise didn't introduce him to Chen Li because he was chatting happily with a certain female rich man at the scene.

Uh~ Well, some ways of thinking of foreigners are difficult to understand.

If Chen Li brought Liu Qingqing to such an occasion, then Chen Li would definitely not let Liu Qingqing socialize alone, let alone socialize with members of the opposite sex.

But it was obvious that Monica and his wife didn't think so. Not only did they socialize separately, but when Monica was drinking with Chen Li, she almost leaned against Chen Li.

Chen Li can guarantee that 11 out of 10 Chinese husbands would find it difficult to accept this behavior.

But Monica's husband just didn't seem to see it. Afterwards, he even came over to introduce himself to Chen Li and had a glass of wine with Chen Li!

Tsk~Okay, all Chen Li can say about this is

It’s better for you foreigners to have fun!
