Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 203 The Welcome Position of the Dinner Party

"It's okay, it's okay! Now we don't lack anything else, just a lot of space! There is not much office without you, and there is a lot without you."

With a smile on his face, Julian put his hands on Carter's shoulders, pushed the latter into the office, and then asked:

"I haven't done much decoration for the time being. I don't know what style you like. I will have an idea later, or I will find someone to decorate it when I come to New York in the future. Anyway, you are not short of the money for the decoration, hahaha!"

"Forget it, it's fine like this. There's no need to spend that money on a place where I don't come twice a year. I haven't even touched Douglas' office!"

The undecorated in Julian's mouth is not completely unpretended.It just follows the company's standardized decoration style, which is relatively simple, except for some office supplies, tables, chairs, sofas, filing cabinets, etc., there is no personalized design.

But this thing, Carter shook his head.If you really want to pay attention to individuality, the current level of technology can't reach it, right?

Carter's favorite style is the simple, tech-savvy smart home model.Such as voice-activated lights, remote-controlled air conditioners, automatic cooking robots, sweeping robots, etc.
These things, even the rich can't get them these days!

It's just that what Carter doesn't care about, it's completely different in Likris' eyes.

High-end office building, large office with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.The large desk and the leather boss chair. Even at noon, the high-end community where Julian's house is located
What she saw and heard opened her eyes, and she quietly had a little more fantasy about New York. Or it could be called yearning and envy, and she even looked at Carter with a little bit of heat.

After visiting the company, it was almost half past four.With hardly any rest time, the three of them, together with John Griffin, set off again for the venue of the dinner, the Plaza Hotel!

Upon hearing this place name, Carter thought of the well-known Plaza Accord.But even without the Plaza Accord, the Plaza Hotel is still synonymous with celebrities!

The Plaza Hotel on Fifth Avenue is not far from Wall Street. Of course, it can't be on foot.If you drive, you can actually get there in about ten minutes.

The Plaza Hotel, which was built in 1907, follows the style of the French Renaissance in terms of decoration and layout.What stands out is a luxurious, complicated beauty.

As soon as you walk into the lobby of the hotel, you will see the landscape composed of white marble columns surrounded by palm trees.In front of this landscape, there is a dining table covered with a pure white tablecloth, covered with gold tableware with complex patterns, shining brilliantly under the refracted light from the crystal chandelier above the head.
This scene not only brought a huge visual impact to Li Kelisi, but even Carter had to marvel at the fact that these rich people really know how to play.
It stands to reason, as a future traveler.It's not that Carter hasn't been to any so-called five-star hotel to see it, and he's even seen one that looks more gorgeous than this lobby.

But that kind of landscape looks fine from a distance, but blows up when viewed up close.What kind of circuit, light strip, there is no aesthetic feeling at all.On the other hand, the Plaza Hotel is beautiful from a distance, and even more so when you look up close, you have to marvel at its detailed design.

The textures and lines on each piece of tableware appear smooth and round, and the gorgeous lighting effects are also the result of rigorous optical refraction calculations.Let you clearly know that this is a man-made landscape, but still feel that it is a gift from the goddess of nature.Everything seems so natural
Except for the lightning strike at the opening of the palm hall, walking on the corridor of the hotel, the gorgeous crystal lamps one after another almost blinded Liklis's eyes.But these lamps are less interesting in Carter's view. After all, it is impossible for him to fly up and look at the detailed carvings on them, right? !
Ever since, Carter became more and more dull.Although an old store with a long history has its luxurious background, the old-fashioned decoration style is really not Carter's style.If you want to talk about Carter's favorite style, it should be like the W Hotel, that's what young people like
"It's not too late now, around [-]:[-], the guests will arrive. At that time, we need to go to the door to greet the guests!"

Julian, who was secretly observing Carter's reaction, gave a little approval in his heart when he saw Carter quickly recovered from the shock.Then he took Carter into the dressing room prepared by the hotel, where the makeup artist provided by the hotel was already waiting.
"To simplify, after all, the lights here are too bright. If you don't use these chemicals, your face will look greasy, and it will easily leave a bad impression!"

Seemingly afraid that Carter would resist makeup, Julian explained a little while sitting down.As for the face of makeup, although it was the first time, Carter did not object.

He is not a straight man with terminal cancer.Although I don't like makeup, it's not unacceptable when I really need it.

After putting on makeup, arranging hairstyles, shining shoes, ironing clothes, etc., the time has come to early six o'clock.Seeing that everything was ready, Carter started to go downstairs, and then
"What are you doing?!"

Looking at Carter walking towards the stairs, Julian looked puzzled.

"Aren't you going to welcome guests at the door?"

Julian confused, Carter even more confused
Do you want to take the elevator?The banquet hall on the second floor, no need
"Who the hell told you to go to the gate? Are you going to be a waiter? Come with me!"

Carter's innocent little expression immediately annoyed Julian.

"As the host of the banquet, we only need to greet each guest at the door of the living room! Also, don't stand at the door by yourself, as long as we are near the door, we can greet every guest in time!"

Following Julian into the living room outside the banquet hall, Carter saw four male waiters dressed as waiters standing upright on both sides of the gate.There was a sudden embarrassment in my heart.
After all, if these male waiters were standing at the entrance of the hotel, it would be a dime the same as many banquet hosts in China in the past lived to welcome guests.And just now, I don't care if I don't say anything!

"This is the guest list. You can take a look at it first, and it doesn't matter if you don't. You sit down for a while, and I'll go to the back to see how Griffin's preparations are going."

"Okay, let's go!"

After taking the paper that Julian took out from his trouser pocket, Carter responded casually.Thinking that the time was almost up, Carter didn't look for a seat nearby, but stood near the gate, opened it and looked.

The people on the list were divided by Julian into two categories, those who would definitely be there, and those who might or might not be there.For example, his own lessons learned: Mr. John Bogle belongs to the second category, while people like Peter Lynch and George Soros are in the first category.

But what Carter never expected was that the first person to arrive was John Bogle.Just as Carter was still looking down at the list, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear:
"Good evening! Mr. Black!"
