How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 560 - 257: IDE Group Establishment Ceremony_2
...
...
The establishment ceremony of IDE Group was set for ten in the morning, but it was a few minutes before nine, and the invited tycoons had already started arriving. The current vice president of IDE Group and the general manager of IDE Capital, Tu Yong, was now walking out of the Hushang Financial Center building with a smile on his face. Following behind him were not only Shu Yan, Angelina, and Jiang Ruxue, but also more than a dozen senior executives that Gu Heng had poached from other companies.
Being poached by the current Gu Heng was enough to prove their capability. It was no exaggeration to say that these people were the crème de la crème of professional managers in Hua Country.
Among them were the former CEO of Yunfeng Fund, Hu Wei, the vice president of Hushang Construction, Xu Zheng, the vice president of American Pfizer Medical Company, Albert, and the CEO and Operations Director of Rui Si Education, He Xin.
Even taken individually, these people were top-notch in their respective industries, and now gathered together, they presented an impressive aura. Ordinary employees of the group stopped to greet them upon seeing this scene.
When they reached the entrance of the Hushang Financial Building, Tu Yong slightly turned his head and asked his subordinate beside him, "Have the arrival times of our distinguished guests been confirmed?"
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Yes, the 37 listed companies from Shanghai have responded that they will arrive on time at nine, and the 25 listed companies from Jingcheng have said they will be here by 9:30...
The remaining 86 invited companies have also had reception staff specially arranged. Most will arrive before 9:30. We are actively communicating with a few unexpected cases to ensure that they will not affect the ceremony."
At their level, every hour of the day was typically scheduled, and what time they said they would come, they did, usually without fail. As the group's second-in-command and with so many decision-makers, of course, it was not possible to come down specifically to greet these ordinary company representatives. They were waiting for the real big shots...
Thinking of this, Tu Yong also instructed, "Keep an eye out later. Mr. Chu from Shanghai will also be coming, but the exact time is not clear yet. Make sure your reception department stays in communication and be ready to contact Mr. Gu at a moment's notice so that Mr. Gu can be informed as soon as Mr. Chu arrives."
"Understood!"
The head of the reception department also quickly nodded.
Knowing that Shanghai's second-in-command was attending the group's establishment ceremony, this middle manager of the reception department appeared excited...
There are countless big companies in the country, but very few can make a high-flying tycoon come out to support them. Thinking about how amazing his own company was, he could not help but feel secretly delighted; it had not been in vain that he staked everything to leave his former listed company and join IDE Group...
...
...
Time slowly passed...
Luxury cars were led one by one to a designated parking area outside the building...
Inside the building, many other company employees couldn't help but feel a bit envious seeing this scene...
As the news that Hushang Financial Center had been acquired by IDE Capital spread, all the workers in the building felt a notch lower when they saw employees from IDE Group. Now, with the group's establishment ceremony being organized on such a grand scale, and nearly every prominent tycoon from Shanghai attending, these workers couldn't help but think about switching jobs...
Of course...
Besides management, ordinary employees of IDE Group were also eligible to attend this ceremony...

After Gu Heng acquired 70% shares, achieving absolute control, Wuyou Media had also become a part of IDE Film and Media Company, a subsidiary of the group. Although it was not a core part of the group, they could still be considered employees of IDE Group...
As an MCN agency, what they had in abundance were internet celebrities...
And what internet celebrities loved most was to leech off traffic...
At this moment, all the influencers from Wuyou Media, who had reached a million followers, were in full attendance...
Although there were no reception staff to welcome them, they were still tirelessly flaunting themselves in front of the press, trying to catch some camera time...
The smarter ones opted to start live streams to leech off the crowd...
Ms. Cheng, the top female internet celebrity under Wuyou Media, had also started her live stream...
With her already substantial fanbase, official pushing of traffic, and Gu Heng's significant influence recently, it didn't take long before the number in her live stream shot past 200,000...
Seeing the live count reaching 200,000 and still climbing in her creamy white dress, Ms. Cheng couldn't help but get a little excited and used her sticky sweet voice to say, "Wow, so many people? Family, hit like, share the stream. It's morning now, with no other top streamers online, let's aim for the number one in site-wide popularity!"
But the next second, the comments in her live stream nearly broke her composure...
"Who came to see you? If you hadn't written 'IDE Group Inauguration' in the title, I wouldn't have bothered clicking."
"I came to see the big shot, what's the point of watching a minor internet celebrity like you? Hurry up and turn the camera around."
"I just saw Yang Hanshu's Weibo, she said she would bring her company's stars along, I'm currently in Xu Hui, I wonder if it's still possible to catch a taxi there?"
The next second, a fellow internet celebrity beside him shouted in surprise, "Yang Hanshu! Re Ba! They're really here? Wow!"
Even though he also had millions of followers, faced with a big star like Yang Hanshu, the group of internet celebrities couldn't help but look astonished...
Upon hearing this, the audience in the livestream also started sending a barrage of comments.
"Hurry up, turn the camera over!"
"Unfollow, unfollow! You're making me miss my wife Re Ba!"
"Folks, let's unfollow together!"
Ms. Cheng, seeing the barrage of comments, could only helplessly turn the camera around, just in time to see Yang Hanshu and a host of stars from her company getting out of their cars, with the reception staff hurriedly greeting them...
Yang Hanshu knew that after today's IDE Group inauguration ceremony, she would be firmly tied to Gu Heng. To maintain the best appearance, she had spent several days picking out her outfit, even more elaborate than what she would wear to an awards ceremony...
Her company's stars also dressed up at her request...
Compared to other company representatives, these stars seemed like a charming addition, adding splashes of color to the solemn group inauguration ceremony...
"Still, it's Mi. Even with her kids in elementary school, she's still so beautiful."
"If I could be with Mi, I'd even change my last name to Liu."
"My Re Ba is not bad either, okay?"
"Guys above, quit dreaming. You're dreaming of places you can't even imagine, maybe Gu Heng has already explored countless times for you..."
Meanwhile, Yang Hanshu, oblivious to being the topic of discussion in the livestream, walked towards Tu Yong, Shu Yan, and others with a smile.
"Mr. Tu, Miss Shu."
Tu Yong and Shu Yan, who were anxiously waiting, also nodded at Yang Hanshu. The greeting wasn't very warm, even a little cold, but the necessary politeness was observed.
Yang Hanshu didn't mind.
As IDE Capital became more corporate, the status of people like Tu Yong and Shu Yan naturally rose with the tide...
Previously, they didn't need to regard themselves highly, and now even less so. If it were not for her being the test stone for IDE Group's film industry and a partner, they might not even bother to nod in greeting.
They didn't care about her, but Yang Hanshu couldn't afford to ignore them.
After all, with Gu Heng hands-off, these people almost held the lifeline of her career. She could only put on a smile again and approached them, "Mr. Tu, do you know where Mr. Gu is right now?"
But just as she finished speaking, she saw the reception manager quickly running to Tu Lei's side, panting and anxiously saying, "Mr. Tu, we just received a call from Mr. Chu's secretary. Mr. Chu will arrive later with Mr. Li from Jingcheng, Mr. Hua from the Ministry of Industry, and others. They will be here in about 10 minutes."
Yang Hanshu: "???"
Was she hearing some incredibly significant news?
The mayor of Shanghai, the mayor of Jingcheng, even a minister from the Ministry of Industry coming together?
Is this really a private group's inauguration ceremony and not some state-owned enterprise's?
But at this point, no one cared about Yang Hanshu's astonishment anymore. Tu Yong made a quick decision and immediately ordered, "Notify Mr. Gu to come down to greet them, and also instruct all reception staff to open the emergency channels to ensure the leaders are not disturbed!"
"Understood!"
Following Tu Yong's orders, the normally noisy entrance of the building was quickly taken over by IDE Group's reception and security staff, who forcibly cleared the road...
