Have you ever noticed the charity dinner hosted by Barrett? How many Chinese tycoons have paid to dine with him? This is the influence of top-tier tycoons. While Finn Lewis may not have been the world’s richest man for long, and may not even be given an official ranking on the world’s rich list yet, his wealth is self-evident and not hard to verify.
For Great Lewis, to put it bluntly, compared to Finn Lewis, he is likely just a little wealthier than a beggar. So when he heard Finn Lewis was coming, he naturally wanted to welcome him personally, even though he hadn’t invited him, “Please invite him in quickly,” Great Lewis quickly said.
“Yes sir.” The butler agreed immediately, then notified the gatekeeper via intercom.
Great Lewis’s mansion wasn’t particularly large, and it only took a few minutes for a car to enter from the entrance. After the car was parked, Finn Lewis saw that Great Lewis was already waiting not far from it. Great Lewis’s actions immediately alerted all the guests that an important figure must have arrived. Otherwise, Great Lewis wouldn’t personally welcome them at the front and even interrupt his speech.
When Finn Lewis stepped out of the car, some of the guests were taken aback. A young man? Why would Great Lewis welcome a young man? When Great Lewis welcomed people, he naturally brought along his wife and daughter, Emma Lewis, as today he was the host. However, when Finn Lewis got out of the car, Emma Lewis, standing behind Great Lewis, looked shocked.
She had not expected Finn Lewis to show up at all. He may not have come with her, but he still came.
“Mr. Lewis, hello.” As soon as Finn Lewis got out of the car, Great Lewis directly came up to him smiling and said.
“Uncle Lewis, happy birthday.” Finn Lewis also said with a smile. As he spoke, he extended his hand to shake hands with Great Lewis. This form of address by Finn Lewis left Great Lewis perplexed, completely clueless about its origin.
“Hehe, I know Emma.” Finn Lewis smiled at Emma Lewis, who was standing behind Great Lewis, and then spoke.
Great Lewis suddenly had an epiphany. However, he instantly had a few thoughts in his mind. Emma just mentioned that she had a boyfriend. Could it be Finn Lewis that she was referring to? The thought of this made Great Lewis’s face look a little ugly. He had watched Finn Lewis’s press conference before.
“Today is Uncle Lewis’s birthday, and since Emma and I are friends, we had to come and congratulate you. Also, this is my younger brother, the general manager of Zero Degree Trading. You must know him, Mr. Lewis,” Finn Lewis introduced Jason Wells to Great Lewis.
“Director Lewis, happy birthday.” Jason Wells said with a smile.
“Is Zero Degree Trading your trading company, Mr. Lewis?” Great Lewis had an epiphany. Zero Degree Trading had purchased more than 2 billion Flame Nation coins’ worth of heavy industrial equipment from his company, making them a super big customer. He had no idea that it was a trading company under Finn Lewis’s name.
“Yes, it’s under my name. Also, on this occasion, I have some business to discuss with you, Uncle Lewis.” Finn Lewis added with a smile. Upon hearing this, Great Lewis dismissed his previous doubts. Emma Lewis, who was standing behind Great Lewis, huffed disdainfully, mouthing the words ‘Coward’ at Finn Lewis.
After exchanging pleasantries with Great Lewis, the birthday banquet began. Finn Lewis’s arrival caused a huge stir among the crowd. As the saying goes, everyone has their own circle. Great Lewis, with his net worth of billions, naturally attracts people of a similar caliber. Among them, of course, some are looking for an opportunity to mingle…
There were many such people but not so many in Great Lewis’s circle, as this was a private birthday party. Without an invitation from him, it would be difficult for outsiders to gain entry. Furthermore, Great Lewis didn’t invite that many people. However, for those present, Finn Lewis’s arrival caused intense anticipation. Who wouldn’t know that Finn Lewis is a prodigal?
Can’t say everyone in the world would know, but it’s likely that almost everyone in the Flame Nation knows about this prodigal character, Finn Lewis. The people here are all involved in business, and businessmen mostly enjoy negotiating with straight-talking, easy-going people. However, there’s one type of person that everyone surely welcomes.
That’s a spendthrift like Finn Lewis. Hasn’t he made it clear that money means nothing to him? So once Great Lewis had finished his speech, quite a few people gathered around Finn Lewis. Most people simply wanted to get to know him. However, it’s evident that merchants in similar circles are the ones who come together here. You could find real estate moguls, a few suppliers of building materials, and bosses of upstream and downstream manufacturers of heavy industrial equipment.
However, people from other industries were not as many, which is normal. After all, not everyone can know everyone, right? Many people were gathered around Finn Lewis, and after greeting others and familiarizing himself with the faces, some consciously walked away. After all, they knew there probably wouldn’t be much of a chance to get to know Finn Lewis.
“Finn Lewis.” Soon, Great Lewis, who had finished greeting the guests, walked over. “Uncle Lewis.” Finn Lewis responded immediately with a smile. The people around Finn Lewis were somewhat surprised to see Great Lewis and, hearing Finn Lewis’s honorific, Great Lewis felt an indescribable sense of gratification from beginning to end, especially under the gazes of those around him, which made him feel like the center of attention.
He had never felt this before. Clearly, not everyone can make Finn Lewis call them uncle. Even if 99% of the businessmen here were older than Finn Lewis, would he call them uncle? They probably had to respectfully address him as Mr. Lewis when they met him, just like how Great Lewis had when he initially met Finn Lewis.
“Well, Finn, didn’t you say you had something to discuss with me?” Great Lewis asked, propsoing they move to another room.
“Yes, I have some matters to discuss with you, Uncle Lewis. Please excuse us.” Finn Lewis nodded at the people around him with a smile, then turned and followed Great Lewis to a side room. Nobody among those surrounding Finn Lewis would say anything about this.
As soon as Finn Lewis and Great Lewis left for the villa, the surrounding crowd immediately gathered and began to whisper among themselves. Never assume wealthy people don’t gossip – they do, especially when faced with someone even more prominent than they are. They naturally discuss such matters.
