"Your Highness, this is Mr. Wang Wei, the chairman of Taihe Holdings, another major shareholder of Huayi Brothers."
Once in the banquet hall, Barron naturally no longer needed to be surrounded by bodyguards, as that would be too conspicuous. The bodyguards would naturally be arranged and entertained by Huayi.
According to Barron, he was just going through the motions in the celebration banquet hall. Although Wang Zhongjun wanted to take this real boss for a tour around the entire Yanjing City...
However, he is also very sensible and understands that many things are not urgent. As long as this gentleman shows up at an occasion like today, I believe that people who should know about this matter will get the news soon.
Therefore, Wang Zhongjun simply took Barron to the main table in the venue, which was the table where the most important guests today were sitting, and gave Barron a brief introduction.
Barron had heard of the chairman of Taihe Holdings in his previous life. The other party was previously mainly involved in real estate industry investments, but its chairman, Wang Wei, was very good at capital operations and created the later "Taihe Group".
In addition to the earliest investment in Huayi Brothers, Taihe Holdings later invested in the "Taihe" music groups including Taihe Maitian Music, which is quite well-known in the Chinese music scene.
Faced with Wang Wei's extremely enthusiastic attitude, Baron simply greeted him. After all, he knew that it was precisely because he was good at "capital operation" that he was criticized for a series of operations in many listed companies, including acquisitions, backdoor listings, and cashing out.
Apart from being shareholders of Huayi Brothers, I am afraid that Baron and others will no longer have any cooperation with each other in the future, so there is no need for too much communication.
Next, Wang Zhongjun took Barron to the private room with great tact, winked at his brother Wang Zhonglei, and said to Barron:
"Your Highness, please take a rest first. I will introduce you to the outstanding artists of our company later..."
But then, the first people to come into the room were several male artists...
"Mr. Ge, I know you. When I was learning Chinese, I watched a movie you acted in."
When Ge Ge heard this duke, who was rumored to be the top British duke in terms of both family background and wealth, suddenly speak these words to him in fluent Chinese, he was surprised.
"Really? It's a real pleasure, Mr. Cavendish."
Apart from Ge Da Ge, the rest, including Xia Yu, Huang Xiaoming and others, were also the top male stars in mainland China at that time.
However, Barron only nodded politely to them...
Seeing this, the Wang brothers looked at each other and realized that this Duke from England probably didn't have any of the traditional special hobbies there...
Wang Zhongjun, in particular, couldn't help but feel relieved. In this way... the next arrangements would be much easier.
After these male artists left, the next to come in were several female stars who had the most resources and were the most famous in Huayi Brothers Company.
"This is Miss Zhou, a very spiritual actress who won the Best Actress Award at the Paris International Film Festival in 2000..."
The first person Wang Zhongjun introduced was Mr. Zhou, who was the most valued person in Huayi Brothers at that time.
Speaking of which, Miss Zhou is indeed an extremely talented actress. Barron also liked her in his previous life - but what he liked was Miss Zhou as an actress. As for her herself, not to mention her rich love history, at least in terms of appearance and figure, she was not his type.
Therefore, Barron behaved very "gentlemanly" towards her...
"This is Li Bingbing..."
While Wang Zhongjun was introducing these charming female stars to Barron one by one, he and Wang Zhonglei who was present were observing Barron's reactions to these people quietly, trying to discern his "preferences".
When introducing Li Bingbing, the future number one actress of Huayi, they keenly noticed that the young duke's eyes had been looking at another actress several times...
Noticing this scene, Wang Zhongjun was delighted. After briefly introducing Li Bingbing, he said to Barron:
"Your Highness, this is Fan Bingbing, who is highly praised by our company. She just won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. She has a bright future ahead of her."
Yes, Barron did look at Fan Bingbing a few more times just now. On the one hand, it has to be admitted that Fan Bingbing's appearance is indeed hard to ignore even among a group of first-line female stars.
In addition, in her previous life, for well-known reasons, this woman, who could be said to be one of the top female stars of the first generation, had rarely appeared in the public eye in China. And now she looked much younger, with a more spiritual look and more collagen on her face. Barron couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
"Hello, Your Highness. I was just worried that you wouldn't understand me because of my poor English. It turns out that you speak Chinese so well..."
Although Fan Bingbing was not yet the later "Fan Ye" at that time, perhaps because she was a northern girl, she behaved gracefully in front of Barron, the real boss.
"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Fan. Actually, I've seen you before... well, on TV. When I was learning Chinese, one of my teachers was a Chinese student studying abroad. Her favorite TV series at the time was "My Fair Princess". I think you are the most beautiful actress in it."
Of course, what Barron said was pure nonsense, but no one could expose it.
Obviously, Barron's attitude among the actresses tonight tells it all, which also made the Wang brothers understand each other after exchanging glances.
After introducing these actresses, the time was almost up. Barron only planned to spend half an hour with them tonight. When he was about to leave after sending Barron to the hotel entrance, Wang Zhongjun came over and said to Barron:
"I wonder how long His Royal Highness the Duke will stay in China?"
"I will leave Yanjing tomorrow and go to the Magic City."
After hearing Barron's words, Wang Zhongjun showed regret on his face and said:
"I see. Actually, Yanjing's nightlife is quite rich. You may not know much about it. How about letting Miss Fan Bingbing take you to experience it?"
That being said, Barron naturally understood what it meant.
He said calmly:
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I won't need it for now because I have a friend coming with me."
Hearing Barron's words, Wang Zhongjun was a little confused for a moment. Could it be that this duke was really stubborn?
"But I heard that Miss Fan grew up in Qin Island. I have been to China several times, but I have never had the opportunity to go there. If there is a chance, I would like to ask her to take me there for a tour."
