Back To 1995: Chapter 596 dinner
Chapter 596 Eating banquet
With the name of the current Bruno family, it is not difficult to invite the Archbishop of Texas, but Dana obviously has a closer relationship with Pastor Andrew. After all, he has been going to Andrew's church for so many years and worshiping on Sunday.
Pastor Andrew is now famous in Houston, and even in Texas. There are even rumors that in a few years, he may become the archbishop of Texas.
Although it is a rumor, it is groundless. There are obviously signs of such rumors appearing, and Andrew's greatest reliance is undoubtedly his relationship with the Bruno family. Naturally, he does not want to miss Gallo and Haili this time. wedding.
Early in the morning, Wyatt and several reporters from the financial section of the "Houston Chronicle" came to the villa area of the Bruno family.
As the largest local newspaper in Houston, it is naturally impossible for the Houston Chronicle not to report on the most lively events in Houston these days.
When Song Yang was still in Houston, Wyatt reported the news about Song Yang. At that time, Song Yang got the first pot of gold, and the news that Double-click Company got the venture capital of WPP Group was the first reported by Wyatt. .
With that report and years of hard work, Wyatt has also become a special reporter of the Houston Chronicle. If he goes further, he will have the opportunity to become the deputy editor-in-chief of the financial section of the Houston Chronicle. So for this time Wyatt was naturally active in the reports, and wanted to dig out some breaking news.
But when Wyatt came to the villa, he saw that many colleagues, even reporters from other states, were squatting there, and even some media from the entertainment industry ran over!
Seeing this, Wyatt had no choice but to pick up the camera and look for opportunities to go in and take a few photos. It is impossible to come back empty-handed.
Today, around the Bruno family villa, there are many vehicles. Rows of luxury cars are full of piles. There are also people from the Houston Police Department patrolling at the gate of the villa. The security personnel from the Blackwater Company took over today's security.
Every year, Song Yang, in the name of the Bruno Family Foundation, donates a sum of dollars, as well as various supplies, vouchers, etc. to local police stations, firefighting, hospitals, education and other institutions in Houston. It's no wonder if you don't care about the family affairs, after all, this is their benefactor.
Wyatt was fiddling with the camera in his hand. Just now he saw a colleague from the entertainment media. He didn't know if he was shooting those stars. He was used to taking pictures. He wanted to sneak into the villa, but was caught by a few big guys from the Blackwater Company. Immediately arrested, the people from the Houston Police Department directly pulled him away without a word of nonsense. Seeing this scene, the other gang of reporters immediately quieted down, not thinking about making small moves.
A Chrysler car was driving towards the villa. Wyatt immediately raised the camera in his hand and took a picture of the man who got out of the car. Wyatt didn't recognize the man for a while. He was sure that the man was not from Texas. of.
"It's Brian Roberts!"
A colleague who recognized the man named Brian Roberts. Wyatt was surprised when he heard that he was the next generation head of Comcast. He did not expect that the next generation head of Comcast would People, they were driven here from all the way.
Brian Roberts was a start. The camera in Wyatt’s hands never stopped. The vice president of General Electric, Immelt, who is also considered to be the head of the next generation of General Electric, and the president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Bate s.
Others that Wyatt is familiar with, such as Kenneth, the president of Enron Group, Kerimia, the director of Comerica Bank, etc., all attended the scene one after another. What surprised Wyatt the most was Charles Koch, one of the Koch brothers, who actually Be there in person.
Not only Wyatt, but other journalists in the financial industry were also shocked when they saw Charles Koch get off the car. As long as they are media reporters in the financial industry, who would dare to say that they don’t know the names of the Koch brothers, the real uncrowned kings .
It’s just that the Koch brothers have always kept a low profile. We all know that they are very active in private.
Seeing the figure of Charles Koch disappearing at the gate of the villa, Wyatt had a new understanding of the Bruno family. He was the first to report on Song Yang. He knew who Song Yang was a few years ago. A few years ago What is the current Bruno family like.
Looking at the villa in front of him again, Wyatt felt even more touched when he thought of the big shots who entered the villa just now. He had witnessed the changes in Songwan and the Bruno family in the past few years.
In addition to Charles Koch, Kenneth and others, Wyatt also met Adrian from Houston and brought a group of Houston congressmen to the scene. Adrian made no secret of his relationship with Song Yang and entered the villa In front of him, he waved to the reporters outside with a smile on his face.
"Cowboy's Chief of Staff Card!"
After taking a lot of photos, Wyatt was about to have these photos brought back to the agency, when he heard a reporter from Austin next to him, when he saw the people getting off the car, he couldn't help but scream. road.
Wyatt looked up and saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties but had already gray hair. Under the **** of his entourage, he entered the villa in a low-key way. If no one recognized him, Wyatt might It would never have occurred to him that this person was the little cowboy's confidant chief of staff and the chief steward of the cowboy family.
Card is one of the big figures of the Elephant Party. Like Tom Delay, who is in charge of the Elephant Party whip today, he is closely related to the cowboy family. In the old cowboy era, Card was the leader of the Elephant Party in Massachusetts. The nomination to become head of the American Department of Transportation was a lucrative job, and Card was just thirty-seven years old at the time.
Only in the second year, after the old cowboy lost the general election, Card also left immediately, turned his head through the revolving door, and became the vice president of General Motors. This year, Card came out again and became the chief of staff of the little cowboy. , is going to do a big job.
Wyatt, who has been hanging out in the financial media for several years, can also guess some clues through some clues. Since this year, many supporters of the Xiang Party in the financial and legal industries have come out one after another.
Through these signs, Wyatt can see something, but even if Wyatt sees something, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. The ghost knows if he will get into trouble, but Wyatt knows, those gang members , The attack is really black!
In the villa, there was a lot of noise. Compared with the people Wyatt saw, there were actually many more people here. Martin Solo of WPP Group, Jotus, President of Wang An Group, Bill Gates and others, although there were no I was there in person, but I also sent someone over to give gifts.
"Mr. Charles, I'm glad you're here!"
After Song Yang met Kenneth, Immelt and others, he immediately extended his hand to Charles Koch who had just entered the villa.
Charles Koch, who has passed his sixtieth year, has an elegant temperament and looks more like a scholar. He rarely accepts the media. This is also the first time Song Yang has met Charles Koch.
"Song!"
Charles Koch also hugged Song Yang in a gentle manner, and said with a smile, "I've heard rumors about you for a long time, and I finally saw you today!"
Charles Koch behaved very kindly, but Song Yang would not regard the Koch brothers as good stubble, just take a look, including Kenneth, Adrian, Immelt and others, facing Charles Koch Every time, with a cautious attitude, you will know who is in front of you.
The Koch brothers’ net worth does not seem to be high in America, but Koch Industries is not listed. If it is listed, it may not be impossible for Charles Koch’s net worth to double.
After Charles Koch, Song Yang met Card and others, and the whole villa was already full.
The wedding scene was on the lawn in the backyard of the villa. When Gallo walked out with Haili in a wedding dress, there was a round of applause. The cameraman responsible for filming and recording the wedding scene was called by ICNC TV station.
A cameraman at the level of a TV station was in charge of today's job, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He held the camera around and saw one big person after another at the wedding scene. Many of these people had appeared in the ICNC On the news program of the TV station, and now it is in front of his eyes.
Pastor Andrew looked at the group of people below. This was also the first time he presided over a wedding in front of so many big people.
Taking a deep breath, Pastor Andrew asked Gallo, "Groom, are you willing to marry the bride?!"
…
When the priest on the stage presided over the wedding, Jenny who was beside Song Yang grabbed Song Yang's clothes with her fingers.
"In the name of the Holy Spirit, the Father, and the Son, I declare that the bride and groom are married..."
When the ceremony was over, there was another round of applause, followed by a banquet and a grand party in the evening.
"Song!"
Immediately after the wedding, Immelt and Brian Roberts found Song Yang. They didn't really come here for a feast.
was holding a wine glass, and Charles Koch, Kenneth, Card, Adrian and others gathered together also watched this scene.
"It seems that our genius has a new plan!" Charles Koch said with a smile.
