Chapter 202 The welcome position of the dinner party
"It's okay, it's okay! Now we don't lack anything else, but we have a lot of space! One more office for you is not much, but one without you is a lot..."
Julian, with a smile on his face, put his hands on Carter's shoulders, pushed the latter into the office, and then asked:
"I haven't done much decoration inside yet. I don't know what style you like. You may have ideas later, or if you come to New York in the future, you can find someone to decorate it yourself. Anyway, you don't need the money to decorate it, hahaha!"
"Forget it, it's good like this. There's no need to spend that kind of money on a place you can't visit twice a year. I haven't even touched Douglas's office!"
What Julian said was "no decoration" does not mean that it has not been decorated at all. 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 personality is a thing, Carter shook his head. If you really want to pay attention to personality, the current level of technology can't reach it, right?
The style that Carter likes is the simple, technologically styled smart home model. Such as voice-activated lights, remote-controlled air conditioners, automatic cooking robots, sweeping robots, etc...
These are things you can't get even if you have money these days!
It's just that what Carter didn't care about was completely different in Lycoris's eyes.
A high-end office building, a large office with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. A large desk and a leather boss chair... Even at noon, the high-end community where Julian's family is located...
Everything she saw and heard opened her eyes, and she quietly had a little more fantasy about New York...or it could be called longing and envy. With this, her eyes looking at Carter were a little hot.
.
By the time they finished visiting the company, it was almost half past four. With almost no time to rest, the three of them, together with John Griffin, set out again to rush to the venue of the dinner, the Plaza Hotel!
When Carter heard this place name, he thought of the famous Plaza Accord. But even without the Plaza Accord, the Plaza Hotel is still synonymous with celebrities!
The Plaza Hotel, located on Fifth Avenue, is not far from Wall Street. Of course, you can't walk there. If you drive, it actually only takes about ten minutes to get there.
The Plaza Hotel, founded in 1907, follows the French Renaissance style in terms of decoration layout. What stands out is its luxurious and complex beauty.
As soon as you enter the hotel lobby, you are greeted by a landscape of white marble columns surrounding palm trees. In front of this landscape, there is a dining table covered with a pure white tablecloth and covered with gold tableware with complex patterns.
, under the light emitted by the crystal lamp above the head and refracted through layers, it shines brilliantly...
This scene not only brought a huge visual impact to Licoris, but even Carter had to marvel at how these rich people can play...
It stands to reason that as a future traveler, Carter has not never visited so-called five-star hotels, and he has even seen ones with a more gorgeous lobby view than this one.
But that kind of scenery is usually okay from a distance, but it explodes when you look up close. What kind of circuits, light strips, etc., there is no sense of beauty at all. On the other hand, here at the Plaza Hotel, it is beautiful from a distance, but even more so when you look up close.
Marvel at its detailed design.
The textures and lines on each small tableware are smooth and rounded, and the gorgeous lighting effects are also the result of rigorous optical refraction calculations. You clearly know that this is an artificial landscape, but you still feel that it is from
A gift from the goddess of nature. Everything seems so natural...
In addition to the lightning strike at the opening of the Palmetto Hall, while walking in the corridor of the hotel, one after another the gorgeous crystal lamps almost blinded Licolis. But these lamps seemed a little less interesting to Carter.
, after all, it’s impossible for him to fly up and take a closer look at the other detailed carvings, right?!
As a result, Carter's store became more and more bland. Although the old store with a long history has its own luxurious heritage, the old-school decoration style is really not Carter's cup of tea. If we want to talk about Carter's favorite style, it should be
Things like W Hotel are what young people like...
"It's not too late now. The guests will arrive around six-thirty. Then we need to go to the door to greet the guests!"
Julian, who secretly observed Carter's reaction, felt a little approval when he saw Carter quickly recover from the shock. Then he led Carter into the dressing room prepared by the hotel, where a makeup artist provided by the hotel was already waiting.
..
"Keep it simple, after all, the lights here are too bright. If you don't use these chemicals, your face will look greasy, which can easily leave a bad impression on others!"
As if he was afraid that Carter would resist makeup, Julian gave a brief explanation while sitting down. Although it was his first time to face makeup, Carter did not object.
He is not a straight male with terminal cancer. Although he doesn't like makeup, he can still accept it when he really needs it.
After putting on makeup, fixing hair, shining shoes, ironing clothes, etc., it was already early six o'clock. Seeing that everything was ready, Carter set off to go downstairs, and then...
"What are you doing?!"
Looking at Carter walking towards the stairs, Julian looked confused.
"Aren't you going to prepare to greet guests at the door?"
Julian is confused, Carter is even more confused...
Do we need to take the elevator? There is no need for the banquet hall on the second floor...
"Who asked you to greet me at the gate? Are you going to be a waiter? Come with me!"
Carter's innocent expression immediately made Julian angry.
"As the host of the banquet, we only need to greet each guest at the door of the living room! Moreover, we don't need to stand at the door ourselves. As long as we are near the door, we can greet each guest in time!"
Following Julian into the reception room outside the banquet hall, Carter saw four male waiters dressed as waiters standing upright on both sides of the door. He suddenly felt embarrassed...
After all, if these male waiters were standing at the entrance of the hotel, they would be exactly the same as the welcoming seats used by many banquet hosts in China in previous lives. And just now... I might as well not say anything!
"This is the guest list. You can take a look at it first. 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 is preparing..."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Taking the paper Julian took out from his trouser pocket, Carter responded casually. Thinking that the time was almost up, Carter did not look for a seat nearby, but stood near the door, opened it and started reading.
The people on the list were divided into two categories by Julian, one was those who would definitely be there, and the other was those who might or might not be there. For example, his own lesson learned from the past: Mr. John Bogle.
They belong 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. While Carter was still looking down at the list, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Good evening! Mr. Black!"
