Chapter 144 Matthew's Boastful Talk
"Mr. Smoke? I think I've heard that name before. Isn't he the guy who tipped nearly a hundred million dollars to female streamers online?" Snow said, not knowing Mr. Smoke. But she had occasionally heard the name. It was said that this guy was a super hidden tycoon.
"That's right, Mr. Smoke is not only generous online, but he's even more generous in real life. Oceanic Trade Ventures in Syeattel faced a bankruptcy crisis recently, and his $77 million investment saved the company from bankruptcy and helped it rise again. He's far wealthier than you can imagine!"
Amanda Green, the CEO of Koi Technology Network Company, had clearly done some research on Mr. Smoke.
In fact, Amanda's nephew, Winter Green, was in the Syeattel second-generation group.
Originally, Amanda's target was the Campbell family or the Cunningham family.
That was why she had Winter Green had intentionally befriend Gordon and Alex.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Smoke had appeared out of nowhere, and seemed to have unfathomable power and and strength.
There were certainly some hidden tycoons in the world.
It was not uncommon for them to keep a low profile and never appear on the Forbes list, but their wealth was astonishing.
After all, some people just liked to keep a low profile. Even Forbes couldn't account for all the wealthy people in the world or investigate everyone's assets.
The world's richest list was just a rough estimate, and couldn't be taken seriously!
Back in the early 2000s, some tycoons could even pay to get themselves on the list, so you couldn't judge the truly wealthy by appearances alone.
Through Winter Green's accounts, Amanda had a general understanding of Mr. Smoke's character, who was a lecher and spent a fortune on beautiful women.
For example, to please Alice from the Mitchellng Family, he had thrown $77 million at her.
Another example was Grace from the Anderson Family, a washed-up artist. It was said that after she had met Mr. Smoke yesterday, he had gifted her a $300,000 luxury car and an additional $15,000.
Matthew himself had bragged about this!
Besides those two incidents, Mr. Smoke only tipped female streamers online and never male streamers.
A little analysis would tell you what kind of person he was.
He would spend lavishly on beautiful women, but he was stingy with men!
Given this, Amanda decided to assign this glorious yet arduous task to Snow, not really thinking Snow was very capable or talented, even thought she was pretty enough
She had also promoted Snow to executive assistant to maintain the company's image when negotiating contracts.
Sometimes, a bit of feminine charm might be necessary, so now it was time to use her.
"Don't worry, boss. I'll do my best to complete the task. But how do I contact and approach this Mr. Smoke?" Snow asked.
After all, she didn't know his real name, only his nickname.
She'd at least need to know where he lived and what his name was.
Amanda smiled slightly at that.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange an opportunity for you to meet Mr. Smoke. If you can secure his investment for our company, I can even give you company shares if you want!
"Tonight at 8 PM, there'll be a charity gala in Syeattel's high society. The Cunningham family, the Sullivan Family, the Campbell family, the Hank Family, and the heiress of AromaVista Group, along with some celebrities and well-known influencers, will all be attending. The venue is the Ramada Five-Star Hotel.
"I've already prepared the invitation and evening gown for you. You'll represent Koi Technology Network Company at this charity gala and you'll surely dazzle everyone.
"I'm more than 50% sure that Mr. Smoke will attend this gala!" Amanda said confidently.
Snow nodded.
Since Amanda had said so, she couldn't argue.
Although she didn't particularly like these high-society gatherings, it was part of the job.
To survive in society, you had to adapt to it.
You had to be dreaming if you wanted society to adapt to you!
Snow took the invitation and began preparing for the upcoming task.
The awkward scene from yesterday was already behind her, and she was determined never to see Charles again. As long as she didn't run into him, the previous misunderstanding could be forgotten so she could avoid the awkwardness.
While Snow and Amanda were discussing tonight's charity gala, Charles also received an invitation.
The second-generation group was discussing it, and Gordon even called him personally.
"Hey! Mr. Smoke, are you attending the charity gala tonight? I heard there will be a lot of beautiful women, heiresses, and some celebrities and streamers. The CEO of AromaVista Group, Emperor Dragon, Emperor Ocean, the Banana CEO, the Shark Live CEO, I know all these guys. There will be thousands of female streamers from Shark Live there . There will definitely be no shortage of beauties!" Gordon said enticingly.
Charles's eyes lit up at that.
Where there were beauties, there would be suitable simp targets.
And he had never attended a charity gala before.
It would be nice to see what it was like.
"Alright, I'll go tonight. Where's the address?" Charles replied.
"The address is at the Ramada Five-Star Hotel. Just come over, Mr. Smoke. I'm a bit busy now, so I'll hang up!" Gordon said.
"Okay!"
After hanging up, Charles remembered that charity galas usually required invitations or something.
But Gordon hadn't given him an invitation.
Oh well, he would just call when he got there!
The second-generation group was already buzzing with discussion, and Matthew was bragging in the group.
[Guys, you have no idea how awesome Mr. Smoke is. After meeting my sister yesterday, he y gifted her a $3 million supercar! Not only that, Mr. Smoke immediately recognized my sister's acting talent and said he would invest $300 million to create a film company, and he has already ordered two movies to be made with investments of over $7.7 million each!]
[And Mr. Smoke is not just all talk. He transferred $15 million to my sister yesterday and another $15 million today. My sister will be making a comeback soon!] Matthew boasted.
The second-generation members in the group were all shocked.
What Matthew said seemed to be true. That washed-up actress who had been silent for a year had dared to publicly accuse the famous director, Mr. Tiger, of taking advantage of actresses!
She wouldn't dare do that without Mr. Smoke behind her.
