Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 354: Big shot
bsp;"This house is Salin's home... You may not know Salin, but he is an incredible person."
"Salin is an American, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Polymer Chemistry at Princeton. When he was thirty years old, he still stayed at Princeton University to teach students and was the leader of an American national project."
"But Salin is a very thoughtful person. After finishing his national project, he started a private research on a special drug."
"Later, his research made breakthrough progress, and his private research and research funds were sponsored by himself, so he owns all patent rights."
"Using his own patent, he easily got hired by a world-class pharmaceutical company, became the chief scientist of that company, and became a partner of the company half a year later. Now that company, The total value of the stock is approximately US$3 billion, and Salin owns 18.75% of the company."
"Have you seen this mansion? Salling invested 90 million Australian dollars to buy it. It is a resort for him and his wife. His wife is his student, eight years younger than him, and is a Princeton student. The PhD students from the university are very beautiful and have probably resigned from Princeton. Because their company is an Australian company, they moved here and became Australian citizens.”
While walking, Kirk told Su Peng information about the owner of the mansion where the dinner was held.
Su Peng nodded while listening, and along with these descriptions, an image was sketched in his mind.
This is Mr. Salin. He is probably close to forty years old, looks gentle and elegant, is very family-loving, has a quick mind, and knows how to enjoy and be worldly.
Otherwise. He would not spend 90 million US dollars to buy this mansion here.
With that said, Su Peng and Kirk walked to the main entrance of the mansion. Two full-time doormen were already standing at the door. Su Peng and Kirk showed their invitations and entered the mansion.
After passing through a corridor decorated in Renaissance style, Su Peng and Kirk came to the backyard of this back house.
The backyard covers a large area and even has two small Chinese-style pavilions inside. But what should have been a pond was transformed into two large swimming pools.
Beside the swimming pool, there was a table with food on it. There were various kinds of food on it, which looked very rich. Su Peng saw long arctic shrimp and good-looking caviar.
The dinner even hired waiters, who seemed to have been hired temporarily from the hotel. Very well-mannered, carrying a tray and various drinks. Interspersed in the dinner venue, it will not make people feel chaotic.
About seventy or eighty people have come to the dinner party. Many of them came with their whole families, and many children also came. These children were all wearing suits, and some were wearing bow ties. It looks like it has been carefully dressed.
Quickly after Kirk walked in with Su Peng. Some guests came around and surrounded Kirk.
It can be seen that Kirk is quite popular here. These people have a good chat with Kirk and have a harmonious relationship, but it may be because his strength and status are similar to Kirk.
This is also a relatively helpless point, only people whose status and status are not too different. It is easiest to become good friends. This social rule applies everywhere, especially in capitalist society.
These friends of Kirk are at the middle level among the people who attended this dinner, neither the highest nor the lowest. They also showed a polite curiosity about Su Peng beside Kirk. Several Madam also inadvertently inquired about Su Peng's personal information.
Su Peng also responded with social etiquette. He didn't come to such occasions often, but he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. Su Peng remembered a lot of diplomatic rhetoric, and now he uses it to deal with it, and he doesn't feel it at all. Hard work.
After several rounds of trial and interaction, Su Peng and the other party probably have a general understanding. These friends of Kirk know that Su Peng's ancestral home is China, and he accumulates wealth by operating "minerals and special luxury goods". Then they immigrated to Australia, and Su Peng also roughly knew the general life content of these friends of Kirk. Most of them were directors of some small and medium-sized companies. They didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but they were not particularly rich. They probably always People with assets ranging from several million to tens of millions of Australian dollars. Judging from the consumption level of their activities, people with liquid assets of around one million Australian dollars.
Su Peng's own assets have far exceeded this level, but Su Peng did not deliberately talk about it. Showing off wealth can easily cause estrangement. Su Peng's words were very low-key, but during the conversation, it made people It feels like it should be pretty strong.
Just like that, Su Peng felt bored talking to these friends of Kirk. Half an hour later, Su Peng had already met a few more friends, and the number of people attending the dinner was almost one hundred, thirty or forty. Salin, the host of the banquet, has also seen him. He is no different from the image in Su Peng's mind. He is wearing casual clothes, but it can better show the casualness of the host.
After a while, Su Peng suddenly heard a burst of noise and applause from the banquet venue.
Following those voices, Su Peng turned around and saw a burly man in his forties entering the dinner venue. As soon as he entered, he had an extremely strong aura.
This man may be the only one who entered here with a bodyguard. As soon as he entered, many dinner guests immediately gathered around him. Many people talked to him. This man was high-spirited and walked around. The person who greeted me spoke like a successful person.
"Hey, Su, you see, this is a big shot."
Beside Su Peng, a short white man was holding a glass of champagne and said to Su Peng.
This person is the person Su Peng just explained. He is somewhat familiar with him. He and Su Peng have only had a few glasses of wine, and he no longer regards himself as an outsider.
"Who is this person? Why does he look so familiar to me?"
Su Peng looked at this person and felt that he seemed very familiar, but he definitely hadn't seen it with his own eyes. He was as familiar as a passer-by who had passed you by before.
Although Su Peng has a good memory, not everyone who passes by him every day can remember it.
"Sue, of course you look familiar. There are campaign slogans of this person at the airport and train station in Canberra."
After hearing these words, Su Peng suddenly realized.
When I took the train back from Sydney, I saw this person's campaign advertisement when I got off the train.
"He is Lu Erkewen." Su Peng said.
"Yes, that's him. He is the number four figure of the Australian Liberal Party... However, the leader of the Liberal Party is over old and in poor health and plans to retire. The number two figure is older than the leader, and the number three figure is older than the party leader. There has just been a political scandal, and his reputation has plummeted. His support is not much worse than that of Rudd, maybe even worse. Therefore, now Rulk is actually the most likely person to take over the position of leader of the Australian Liberal Party. ."
The familiar little white man said to Su Peng.
After hearing this, Su Peng raised his eyebrows and said, "Doesn't that mean that he..."
"Yes, the election year is coming soon. The Australian Communist Party is very vocal this year. If they succeed, maybe Mr. Rudd will be the new president of Australia."
The little white man nodded and said to Su Peng.
After hearing this, Su Peng narrowed his eyes and looked over at Lu Erkewen, who was surrounded by the guests like stars holding the moon in the center.
Australian elections are quite unique. Australia adopts a federal system in the form of national structure. The highest level is the federal government, then the state government, and below the state are the local governments. Therefore, elections in Australia are mainly divided into three levels: first, federal elections, which produce federal representatives and senators; second, state parliamentary elections; third, sub-state local government elections. These three types of elections have different scopes of application, different rules to follow, and different organizational structures. It can be said that each has its own characteristics.
As a British colony, the Commonwealth of Australia basically followed the British parliamentary system in its political system. According to the Constitution, the highest federal legislative body is the Federal Parliament. The Australian Federal Parliament is composed of the Queen (representative of the Federal Governor), the Senate and the House of Representatives. At the same time, in terms of organizational structure, it generally follows the model of the US Congress and adopts a bicameral system.
There are dozens of political parties in Australia, the main ones being the Labor Party and the Liberal Party. The Australian Labor Party (AustralianLabourparty) was established in 1891. It is the largest political party in Australia. It has close relations with labor unions and mainly represents the interests of the working class. It has been in power 12 times since 1940. The current leader Kevin Rudd is also the current Australian Prime Minister. Prime Minister. The Liberal Party was established in 1944 and was formerly the United Australia Party established in 1931. Mainly representing the interests of industrial and commercial owners, he has been in power many times. From 1996 to 2007, the Liberal Party was in power for eleven and a half years and successfully led Australia from the economic recession in the early 1990s to economic prosperity. Other small parties include the National Party (alparty) Democratic Party, the Green Party, the Family First Party, the Nuclear-Free Australia Party, the Progressive Alliance Party and the Australian Government.
The leaders of these political parties participating in the election will automatically become the Prime Minister of Australia, the most powerful person in Australia.
The Rulkwen in front of me is the number four figure of the Australian Liberal Party, and is likely to take over the position of party leader. If the Australian Liberal Party succeeds in the election not too far away next year, he may become...
Prime Minister of Australia!
