The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1321 The class of power

In January at 50° north latitude, the night comes too early,

In Calgary, where the sky was already dark before five o'clock, after an hour after people got off work,
It was finally ushered in the scene that should be in the night.

Under the dark sky, the city center is brightly lit,

On the golden-orange streets, the vehicles flowed endlessly, and the skyscrapers lit up in the dense golden forest. The landmark Calgary Tower was extremely conspicuous.

People come and go, colorful neon lights,
The entire central urban area cannot see the slightest darkness, this scene based on energy supply,
Thoroughly interpret the prosperity of modern civilization!

At the end of the day's work, people go out together, eat and entertain, which is the most prosperous time in the city at night.
The streets that seemed empty due to the vastness of the land and sparse population became busy and bustling.

And in such a night scene,
In front of a golden and gorgeous hotel building in the city center.

Vehicles gathered, and many figures with cameras hung on their chests were guarding in front of the building with their companions, who were holding photographic equipment next to their respective cars.
It seemed more lively than some shopping malls, causing the passing crowd to look sideways and wonder what was going on.

"Ha, do we really have to wait in this temperature?"

Beside a car, feeling the sub-zero low temperature and looking at the night sky that had already completely darkened, a man named Maro exhaled hot air into his hands,
"It's useless to say less, you know the importance of tonight, if you have time to complain, it's better to prepare for me,"

And Celia, who was holding a camera by his side, was always looking at the door of the building, urging him to be the first to rush up at any time, while emphasizing:
"As long as we can interview and ask one or two questions, our task for this month is enough!"

Interview,

That's right, both Celia and Maro are professional journalists from a media company, and they were sent to take charge of this interview tonight,
Not only them, but all the people gathered here at this moment are like this.

As for the reason, it is because of personal connections, gossip. In short, the media has various channels, and these news companies have learned
There's quite a business evening tonight.

"I'm coming!"

Noticing an expensive Porsche approaching, Celia let out a shocked voice, and then exclaimed when she saw the person getting off the car:

"That's... Miranda Butch! Outreach director for the Calgary Energy Association, a well-known figure in the city, I met her in a government interview,"

"Wait, the person next to her is... Voino Hensley!?"

"That particularly powerful and famous petroleum engineer?"

Confirming the name she said was a household name in Calgary, but Maro only saw that his companion ignored him at all, and rushed forward like his colleagues around him.
"What is the theme of the party tonight?"

"Do you have any goals for tonight's participation?"

Like a star attending a press conference, getting out of the car, surrounded by reporters holding microphones to ask questions and take pictures, is used to this scene,
Miranda just kept a public smile and walked straight into the hotel with the help of hotel security personnel.

"By the way, will there really be so many big figures here tonight?"

The interior of the five-star hotel is luxurious, and he followed the waiter to the elevator, thinking about the inside news he had learned in advance, Voino, who was dressed in a suit, couldn't help but speak,
"According to the amount of invitation function I asked from the hotel's venue layout population,"

Arriving at the floor, looking at the gorgeous door at the entrance of the venue, Miranda took a deep breath and prepared to enter the answer:
"Just more than you think."

Then the door opened with their steps, bright and majestic,
Red wine and champagne are on the pure white tablecloth, and the glass chandeliers on the exquisitely patterned ceiling are shining brightly. On the bright and clean floor tiles reflecting the reflection, there is a layer of golden light like flowing water.
But what is more eye-catching than the venue itself are those figures in costumes attending,

Construct an upper class under the glow!
Although in the eyes of the outside world, like those reporters, a person like himself is already very powerful, but Miranda and Voino are very clear,

They are only the largest number of little people in this venue, and they are just a little famous in this city.

"That's the sales minister of the Alberta Power Supply Group, and next to him is the regional manager of the largest natural gas company in the west."

Beyond the scope of a city, they belong to the top management of a large group involved in the business of a region. Compared with them, they may not be known by the media.
But they are people with real power in their hands, and their status in the energy industry is actually higher than theirs.

For ordinary people, as long as they get acquainted with anyone, it is a great power of connections!

Whispering, Miranda instantly recognized the identities of the two men in suits not far away, who were their targets tonight.

Glanced with Voino and approached to talk
Smiling and talking until the two of them left, like this, they kept entertaining the people who came to chat in the venue, and the champagne and red wine chatting intervals,
"This scale and level, why is tonight's party held?"

In the splendor of the hall, those who knew that they would come tonight even included those who were in the cloud, with the acumen of the important positions in the workplace,

Make that sales executive feel something special.

"That's not something you and I can know. That's something that big shots should worry about."

And with a glass of champagne beside him, the regional manager said something that was not of their status,
Then quietly turned his gaze to a position closer to the center of the venue,
The figures standing there are,
Executive director of an oil company, president of a natural gas company, largest shareholder of a major power conglomerate, or investor in more than one energy company.
Compared with them who hold real power and are only in that position, there is an essential difference,

He has a lot of money, only appears in magazine news, and some are even known only by a few people in the circle. He has the real right to stand at the top of the company, such as "shares",

Those big shots with money and capital in their hands!
And where these figures are at this moment,
"I flew over from Toronto as soon as I got the news. I thought I couldn't make it."

The boss of a power generation company in Canada, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, looked at the acquaintances around him while holding a glass of red wine.

"Since everyone is here, does anyone know the reason for the party tonight?"

In the position of holding capital, they know more and are more sensitive than other people present. They have been in the mall for many years to let them know that the name of the charity party is just a cover to expand the network.
Tonight can't be any ordinary reception, there must be some more insider reason for holding it.

"It is said."

Shaking the liquid in the goblet, a man who invested in several coal companies in Canada and the United States lowered his voice slightly:
"It's about the signing of the North Atlantic Energy Agreement."

They have all heard about this agreement more or less, thinking of the existence on the cloud and the existence of the party that initiated the party tonight,
In an instant, he understood something, and the eyes of the figures present were slightly fixed.

Indeed, each of them owns at least one large industry in the energy industry, holding capital across an entire region,
For many people in this world, even in this kind of high society,

They are also big names that many people can't reach.

but,

There is also a gap between capital and capital,
This gap may be greater than the gap between them and their next class,
They are very clear that it is not the people like themselves who decide the deep meaning of this reception tonight, but those above them,
The capital is so huge that it exceeds a region, a country, and those huge groups that control the supply chain covering the entire industry instead of a certain link of business,

those involved in the signing of that agreement,

Not all super energy giants present tonight!
Compared with them, those are the real big shots who shocked the whole industry with a blow and a stomp!
Just like the reason buried deep in tonight's reception, the agreement that brought so many people to the scene touched energy, which is related to many industries and fields,

That North Atlantic Energy Agreement probably goes deeper than these people here tonight.

For a while, thinking about the impact of whether the agreement was reached or not on his own interests,

At the moment when I learned the origin of tonight's reception,

Each of them couldn't help looking at the real center of the venue,

The two super giants above the clouds who are here tonight,
Sitting face to face, one of them sat on a sofa calmly and dignifiedly, behind him was an awe-inspiring giant, at the apex of power and status of everyone present,
Andre Williams, President of Essencoforme!

At this moment when the decision makers of several other behemoths have not yet arrived,
Andre looked solemnly at the handsome smiling man beside him,

His opponent in this war, the energy company under the Future Consortium,
President of Star Power Group - Mephisto.

　I was stuck for more than two days. It was more difficult than I imagined to go back to the shopping mall from the night station. I wrote hundreds of words, I wrote for [-] days last night, I gave up in despair, I got up at [-] o’clock in the morning to continue, I feel like I’m dying, I’m so annoying, I’m so rubbish
