Chapter 1482: Follow the Rules and Play with the Upper Class Society

Such an impassioned opening statement, although mostly based on facts, also aroused considerable criticism from the audience.

Molly, who had been standing alone, walked to her grandfather George and held his arm, not hiding the worry on her pretty face.

"Grandpa, will Wu's words infringe on the poor self-esteem of the upper class in America?"

In this regard, George Soros stood still and glanced at Warren Buffett, who was also motionless next to him. He patted his granddaughter's delicate hand and said, "Don't worry, wait and see."

Just when there was a lot of discussion at the scene, and all the guests at the meeting thought that Huaxia Wu's speech was to sing praises for Huaxia Capital and then endorse their overseas expansion, Wu Tao changed the subject and suddenly got to the point.

"So, in the not-too-distant future, we can expect that Huaxia Enterprises and Huaxia Capital will go abroad and start their stumbling road to internationalization."

"This is an unstoppable trend and is also the need for the development of WTO global integration. Not long ago, I learned that many industry elites regard this phenomenon as a crying wolf, and then rise to the category of China threat theory."

"Whether such an idea is true or not, at least it stems from an inferiority complex. In the international economic environment and financial system where various rules have long been established, Huaxia Enterprises and Huaxia Capital, as fledgling novices, still have a long way to go. Only then can we truly join and establish ourselves within the framework of global integration."

“So what I can imagine is that in the not-too-distant future, many Chinese companies and Chinese capital will fail due to their first step in internationalization, and they will have to pay the price, and even pay a lot of tuition fees. .”

"At that time, I will not be surprised at all. Please also ask all the industry elites to not be surprised..."

By this point in the speech, the hostility in the audience had disappeared.

Especially when Huaxia Wu criticized the shortcomings of some Chinese companies, these overseas elites were even more pleased and even cited them as their own.

Obviously, a concise speech made Hua Xia Wu's acceptance among the upper class circles in the United States suddenly increase a lot.

Molly noticed this and was relieved.

After leaving her grandfather's circle, she couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't Huaxia Wu be afraid of arousing opposition and boycott from the domestic media and industrial and commercial circles by doing this?

After all, in Molly's view, Wu Tao is not only not a businessman who puts profits first, but also shows patriotic and national tendencies in many aspects.

He is by no means the kind of privatist who seeks to enrich himself at the expense of his fellow men.

When he came back to his senses, he bumped into Li Anman and Ruisi who were recording and listening to Wu Tao's speech with great interest.

"So, what do you think of this speech?"

Reese responded first, "I am also very confused. Huaxia Wu's remarks today are unprecedentedly radical. Is it possible that he has received some unfair treatment in China?"

Reese's angle was unexpected, but it echoed the usual international speculation about China's domestic situation.

Before Molly could speak, Li Anman next to her said casually: "Even if there were, I don't think Huaxia Wu would say it in this way on such an occasion."

That's right!

Molly's eyebrows lit up. Although tonight's banquet was said to be a charity dinner, the distinguished guests attending the meeting came from all walks of life in the United States.

If Wu Tao really meant that, wouldn't it be the same as saying bad things about China in front of CNC and VOA?

Absolutely impossible.

Not only did Molly think so, but even Reese felt that her speculation was too shallow.

But even so, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of such speculative reports in the American media tomorrow.

Of course, that's not the point right now.

The focus of everyone's attention right now is what Wu Tao's true intention was when he said this.

So the focus was on Li Anman.

Li Anman was very satisfied with the result, and stopped talking about it: "I think Huaxia Wu is probably to pave the way for certain things in the future, and at the same time, it can give Tianyuan Consortium and capital a reputation for obeying the rules. Why? Are you happy but not doing it?"

Molly beamed when she heard this, "It sounds like the Chinese people's law of modesty. They use modesty and self-criticism to win the favor of others. It seems that Miss Li really knows a lot about Chinese culture."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Soros." Li Anman was overjoyed and did not shirk at all.

Whether such a judgment is true or false is probably unknown to outsiders.

Molly had no intention of asking, and even if she did, the answer would probably be specious.

After all, Molly is well aware of Huaxia Wu's cunning.

At this moment, the speech on the stage was almost over, which triggered a warm response from the audience.

The level of enthusiasm was even greater than Warren Buffett's speech just now.

Wu Tao stepped off the stage, attracting huge attention from the people around him and causing the charity dinner to come to a halt.

Fortunately, Wu Tao himself kept a low profile, declined most social interactions, and quietly drew everyone's attention back to the charity dinner itself.

The highlight of the subsequent charity fund-raising was actually not much to watch.

After all, all the guests attending the dinner have corresponding levels and prices.

Therefore, there is a reasonable reference range for how much Tianyuan Consortium or Tianqi Investment should donate.

Wu Tao did not intend to be a victim, to win the attention of others, or to enhance his own so-called face.

unnecessary.

On the other hand, this coincides with China Capital's commitment and statement to follow the rules.

Of course, as the highlight of the event, in between fundraising, it is also an opportunity for people from all walks of life to socialize.

Molly, who was holding Wu Tao's arm, drank champagne until she was a little confused.

Because there were so many people who came to chat and socialize, including not only California's local governor Schwarzenegger, some famous or unknown congressmen, and even some Hollywood movie stars.

As for people in the financial sector, there are countless.

Taking a rare opportunity, Molly took a sip of lemonade and asked with great interest: "As a rising political star in California, do you think it is possible for Arnold to run for president in the future and become a rising star in American politics?"

Wu Tao said nonchalantly: "I have no problem with him making movies. But as for running for president, forget it. He has no chance."

When Molly heard this, her heart became alive, "No wonder the conversation between you and Arnold was full of distance. On the contrary, the communication with several congressmen was quite friendly, especially that congressman Barack. The bookishness of that person was really... He doesn’t look like a smart politician.”

Wu Tao smiled, "You said that because of her skin, right?"

Then, without waiting for Molly to admit it, she continued: "But no matter what, the fact that he can transform from a college professor to a federal senator shows his political potential."

"As for the huge chasm in skin color, I can only say, we'll see."

Molly didn't agree more with these words.

Instead, he changed the topic and said with a sly smile: "You just met Scarlett in person, don't you have any ideas?"

Wu Tao thoughtfully said: "She is indeed more radiant in person than on TV, but I always feel that she is not half as good as you."

Molly's eyes suddenly became intense.
