Chapter 739 Chapter 740 Banquet
On Saturday night, Chen Fan called Xie Kai into his own car, and the two cars drove out of Baorun Garden towards the Four Seasons Hotel in Imperial Capital one after the other.

"It's not long since our company was listed, why were we invited to a charity banquet?" Chen Fan asked directly as the car drove out of the community.

"Mr. Chen, although our company has been established for a short time, we have invested more than [-] million yuan in less than a year. It may be because we signed contracts with several companies a while ago, and the company's name was printed in the media. Bar."

Xie Kai said in a low voice, "This is what I know. Although the Philanthropist Association is a non-governmental organization, it is also an association that asks for money. Of course, it is flocking to rich companies."

"Donate some money, can you become a philanthropist?" Chen Fan asked with a wink.

"That's almost what it means." Xie Kai said.

"Tell me about the process of tonight's event."

Chen Fan was right when he thought about it. Charity must be spending money outside. Inviting them to go must be asking for money. If the place is high-end, more money will be donated invisibly, otherwise the bosses themselves would feel embarrassed.

"It's the dinner party. During the dinner party, some donation items will be auctioned. The auction money must be donations, and there are also separate donations." Xie Kai began to talk, telling Chen Fan everything he knew.

"Fortunately, I have experience before. Have you eaten?"

After listening to tonight's event arrangement, Chen Fan patted his stomach and asked Xie Kai again.

"Eat a little, this kind of banquet is not enough to eat, just pretend."

Xie Kai laughed.

"If you don't participate in the auction, how much is generally appropriate to donate alone?"

At this time, Chen Fan thought about this again, he gave money as much as he wanted, but he had to give it appropriately, neither being taken advantage of nor being stingy and being laughed at.

"I've inquired about it. The minimum is 1 million, and it can be as high as it is." Xie Kai said, "My plan depends on the situation. 2 or 3 million is appropriate."

"What's in the lot?" Chen Fan nodded, Xie Kai was well prepared.

"Some are from the collections of the elders, some not-so-precious calligraphy and painting antiques, and some donated by celebrities, such as jewelry and clothing." Xie Kai said.

"Clothes? Second-hand?" Chen Fan was a little surprised. The donations on the stage shouldn't be something new. It's more expensive. Jewelry is understandable. That thing still holds its value. What is clothing?

"It's used to build relationships. If you like a certain star, you can buy his (her) things at an auction at a high price, and then return them to him (her). People will know that you have a crush on him (her). Both of them donated, and I have both face and face.”

Xie Kai smiled and said, "I don't know much about it, and I haven't participated in it before, I just heard from friends."

Chen Fan nodded, "There is no one else in this operation."

"Most of the things donated by the older generation are really out of charity. Stars, in fact, are generally willing to donate things that someone has expressed to bid for, otherwise it would be embarrassing for no one to donate, so in fact ,hehe"

Xie Kai laughed before he finished speaking this time.

"Could it be that there were no cut-offs?" Chen Fan asked curiously.

"I don't know, probably not. Who is doing such a shameful thing in that place, but this possibility is not ruled out."

Seeing that Chen Fan was interested in this kind of gossip, Xie Kai was a little speechless. He really didn't expect the boss to have such thoughts. He had already inquired and contacted him earlier.

A professional manager should not only manage well the enterprise entrusted to him by the boss, but also serve the boss well, only in this way can he become an excellent professional manager.

But as soon as he thought of this, Xie Kai felt something was wrong.

It was almost noon when he received a call from Chen Fan, saying that he brought two people in this time, but he didn't seem to see anyone else when he came out this time. Could it be that Chen always brought two bodyguards into the banquet hall?

"Mr. Chen, what friend are you talking about?"

Xie Kai asked hurriedly when he thought about it, he was worried that Mr. Chen had too many people and he had forgotten it, so it would be better to remind him now.

"They live there, we'll pick them up first."

Chen Fan said with a smile.

Chen Fan has a good feeling for Xie Kai. This time when Liu Ying returned to the imperial capital, this person handled things very well. The investment in that TV series is only because he is optimistic about the film and television market and wants to test the waters. After all, it is a big production+ Traffic has a high probability of profit, and there is no mention of Chen Fan stuffing people into it.

Recalling that in the morning, Chen Fan received a call from Lin Qingyu, knowing that their play had stopped again. This time, the female lead was going back to the capital to handle business. Their play was filmed around the heroine and lead, and they were in it Soy sauce, the lead actor left the scene and there was no way to shoot the scene, because the two of them were often delayed before, and the crew had already finished filming the scenes that did not need the leading role, and the rest were all lead roles.

Their crew is not far from the emperor, more than 2 kilometers away, so when they called, they were rushing to the imperial capital, and planned to return to the imperial capital for the weekend. After all, Chen Fan complained on the phone yesterday that no one would accompany him on the weekend.

Hearing that Chen Fan was going to attend the philanthropist dinner in the capital tonight, Lin Qingyu was very excited at the time, but knowing her identity, she just asked cautiously, "Do you need a female companion?"

After thinking about it, Chen Fan found Xie Kai. He planned to bring Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu to the dinner party tonight, just as a female companion.

Xiao Che waited in front of the Washington House for the two girls to come downstairs. Xie Kai took a look at them. They were all in evening gowns. Although they hadn't seen them before, they had read the information. After all, the drama with an investment of 5 million yuan was indeed very beautiful.No wonder, and then consciously sat in the front passenger seat.

Originally, he planned to go back to his own car, but Chen Fan stopped him, and Li Jian was driving the car behind him, so he didn't bother to change cars after a short distance.

Huafu Residence and Yanjing Homeland are actually two streets away from the Four Seasons Hotel, the banquet hall tonight, very close, and the car arrived shortly after it started.

Entering the hotel, led by the waiters into the banquet hall, Chen Fan glanced at the people in the banquet hall. At this time, there were already many people gathered in the banquet hall. Yes, it seems that some people in the crowd are familiar to me, and many people seem to be very familiar.

Chen Fan looked at it, then lifted the sedan chair and walked forward, and soon came to a group of people.

"Xiao Chen, I was just talking about why you haven't arrived yet, but you came here just now."

Xie Chao's eyes were sharp, and he saw Chen Fan bringing someone over at a glance, and said loudly.

Tang Jianbin turned his head to see Chen Fan at this moment, and smiled, "You came late enough, I thought you were playing a big game and wanted to be the last to appear."

After Chen Fan introduced the people he had brought with them, he immediately integrated into their circle and began to talk about it. Recently, the domestic stock market has not been very good, but the trend of rice stocks is good. It seems that most people in the circle have made a lot of money Little, it is inevitable that we will be very excited to get together at this moment.

Xie Kai saw a circle over there, similar to his identity, they were all executives of some investment companies in the imperial capital, and they walked over after talking to Chen Fan.

"No matter how I look at it, I have seen many people in the banquet hall." Speaking of this, Chen Fan looked around the hall.

Now there are more than ten circles gathered in the banquet hall. Besides their circle, which has more than 20 people, Chen Fan also noticed that there are also several circles inside, and there are no less people than here.

"This banquet invites people from investment companies and institutions in the imperial capital. Look over there, isn't Fu Yang from Jinxin here?"

Speaking of this, Tang Jianbin seemed to understand what Chen Fan meant, and said in a low voice: "The philanthropists always hold several dinners, some of them are engaged in business, and some of us are investing in this way. Otherwise, the imperial capital is so big and there are so many bosses. It can hold so many people."

"However, we usually donate more money here. Those who are engaged in business are very scary in terms of assets, but if you really want to say that there are not many tens of millions that can be handed out casually, so look over there."

Tang Jianbin pointed out to Chen Fan that there were several circles in it, "Many celebrities like to participate in our circle, because they have money and can spend money, and their filmmakers count on having money masters like us to support them." .”

"Then you here?" Chen Fan looked at this circle, most of them were playing the financial market, and Chen Fan was really familiar with these people.

Since getting acquainted with Tang Jianbin, he has attended many gatherings with him and met many people in the financial circle of the capital.

"We all invest in the financial market, and those over there invest in all aspects. Of course, film and television investment is one of the big ones, so we are naturally familiar with those stars." Tang Jianbin is proud and doesn't care.

"A lot of celebrities wanted to get to know me through various opportunities before. Well, Xie Chao and the others have met me a few times. It's not that interesting. The celebrities are too eye-catching." Tang Jianbin shook his head and chuckled, but then looked at me again. Look at Chen Fan and the two girls beside him.

"I also have an investment company." Chen Fan smiled, "I also invested in the film and television industry."

Soon, the topic of their conversation was back to financial markets.

At this time, Lin Qingyu moved closer to Chen Fan's ear and whispered something.

Chen Fan tilted his head and looked inside, "Is it the lead actor of your play? Then you go."

Just now Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu sat beside them and chatted with their female companions. Chen Fan and the others could understand what they were talking about, but they didn't understand.

It was at this time that they suddenly saw a few senior stars in the crowd, and all the people who came here were first-line stars, and they even saw two super first-line actresses over there.

The two girls naturally wondered if they were familiar with each other in the past, and hoped that if they had the opportunity in the future, they would be able to support them. After all, with their current status in the circle, it is still very embarrassing. Although they are not artists in the company, they know each other. , Maybe in the future, when there is an opportunity to cooperate, it will not be too strange.

It's definitely not good to rush over. Fortunately, there is one of the stars they know, Xia Xueping, a first-line actress in China, who is also the heroine of the drama they are filming. It turns out that what she was talking about should be the charity dinner tonight.

After a while, Chen Fan just glanced over there, and saw that Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu were already standing in a circle over there. There were mostly beautiful girls inside, and there were also a few well-dressed men. It was a gathering place of handsome men and beautiful women. From time to time, someone would go over to greet them and say a few words. It should be said that there is really a lot of turnover there.

Chen Fan took a closer look, and felt that most of these men and women were really familiar, especially the elegant woman, who should be in her 30s, a well-known beauty, with a beautiful face, Chen Fan still knows this person, yes Domestic first-line actress Zhang Lina, but she doesn't know herself.

After joking for a while, maybe the crowd was almost there. The president and vice-presidents of the host philanthropist association began to invite guests to the table. At this time, the crowd gradually dispersed. Sitting at a few tables, it is true that there are too many people in their group.

Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu also came back at this time, sitting next to Chen Fan, the celebrity circle had also dispersed early, and they all returned to their respective positions.

There are a few tables next to them, which are actually in finance, and Chen Fan knows them all, but there are circles in any industry. Although everyone knows each other, they don't communicate much.

After Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu came back, they looked very excited.

"Why, something good happened." Chen Fan said with a smile.

"I know a lot of big stars, and there are many bosses who invest in film and television companies. This time, I did the right thing to be cheeky." Lin Qingyu responded with a smile on his face, speaking more bluntly.

Chen Fan just smiled when he heard the words, and didn't say much.

There are a lot of dishes on the table, but the people on the table are very reserved, and no one eats too much. In fact, these dishes are beautifully presented, and the taste can only be regarded as mediocre. After all, it is a banquet, and there are too many things to prepare. to well-cooked.

Soon, the charity gala entered the official stage. The president and vice president of the Philanthropist Association and the government leaders of the imperial capital took the stage one after another, expressing their gratitude to the philanthropists who are willing to do good.

Then came the song and dance performance and the charity auction that Chen Fan already knew about.

Everyone chatted while eating. Chen Fan was not interested in these things, so he didn't listen much. He just joked with everyone. Now everyone is not talking about the financial market. The scene is not suitable, and they are all talking about this dinner.

"Brother Bin, how much do you plan to donate?" Many items have already been put up for auction. The auction scene is not too hot, but the auction price is not low, and it really looks like what was planned.

"Last year, I donated 3 million. This year's market is good. Let's donate 5 million." Tang Jianbin smiled indifferently and whispered to everyone.

Soon, Chen Fan also learned about other people's donations, most of which were around 5 million. In fact, in this scene, even if someone wants to donate less, it is impossible to tell. Face is still important, and Chen Fan is no exception. A number of 5 million.

After the dinner lasted for a while, more people moved around in the banquet hall. Naturally, people from the general meeting began to toast at this time, and the banquet was still going on.

After a while, a woman in a red evening gown and long hair came over. Che Xiaoya hurriedly stood up to say hello, and introduced the person to Chen Fan, "Xia Yuping Xia, a domestic first-line actress."

Xia Yuping seemed to be very good at business. After paying respects to Chen Fan, she clinked glasses with everyone at the table before leaving.

"How did she treat you?" Chen Fan asked in a low voice after seeing the person leave.

"It's okay." Lin Qingyu said, "She said she came to meet you earlier, so she must have heard of it."
