"Shen Lian, what do you think of this place?"

Xiao Mei Er suddenly asked Shen Lian.

"En..." I think this place is really big! "

Shen Lian could not help asking.

"Hehe …" This is only one of the side halls, the main hall is even bigger than this one! "

Xiao Mei Er said with a coquettish smile.

"Wow …" Such a big place, and it's just a side hall? "It seems like the boss of this clubhouse is really very rich!"

Shen Lian said.

"Hehe …" He should be especially rich and powerful! Otherwise, it's impossible for anyone to come to a private club of this level! "

Xiao Mei Er said with a smile.

"Ugh …" Sister Mei'er, you're saying that this Sky Sovereign Empire is only a private club? "

Shen Lian asked her in surprise.

Although Sky Sovereign Imperial Clubhouse was famous in Binjiang, Shen Lian, like most ordinary people, did not know who was the boss behind the scenes. This was because this clubhouse had always been a "low-key luxury".

However, there weren't many people in the outside world who knew of his true background.

"Hehe, the owner of this clubhouse is the president of the Lishan Association!"

Xiao Mei Er said.

"Lishan Association? I think I've heard of it before.

Shen Lian was stunned.

"Speaking of the Lishan Association, it was formed by the first honorary chairman, the Old Lady Shu."

Xiao Mei Er said.

"Old Lady Shu... Who is she? "

Shen Lian couldn't help asking curiously.

"You don't know Old Lady Shu, do you, Tianhua International?"

Su Ruoxue interjected and said.

"Tianhua International! Such a renowned multinational corporation, of course I know about it! "

Shen Lian was startled by his question, and then he asked in shock, "Could it be that the Old Lady Shu is the founder of the Tianhua International, Ms. Shu Mingqin?"

"Yeah, it's her!"

Xiao Mei Er and Su Ruoxue nodded at the same time.

"No wonder the Sky Sovereign Empire is so luxurious. It actually has the background of a Tianhua International …"

Shen Lian finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Tianhua International was a well-known multinational corporation with many luxury brands under his command. He also had top-notch custom jewellery, art collections, various antique calligraphy and paintings, and more. Furthermore, the Tianhua International was headquartered in the United Kingdom and had branches in many countries around the world. In just a few years, the Tianhua International officially entered China, but because of its deep roots, it quickly became a household name for luxury goods.

Someone like Shen Lian, who worked in the advertising industry, obviously knew about the background of the Tianhua International. He also knew that the founder of the advertising industry was a legendary lady who was already in her seventies … Shu Mingqin!

With regards to Shu Mingqin's legendary life and the process of her founding Tianhua International, she could be said to be a rich content shopping mall and a textbook on life.

"During these years, the Old Lady Shu believed in Buddhism and thus established the Lishan Association. This is also the only female charity of the Wealthy Class families in the China, sponsored by various large groups and large enterprises with 50/100 of the funds. The most frequent good deed they do is to auction various things, such as high-grade works of art, items used by famous people, various antiques and paintings etc. According to international practice, the Lishan Association's auction will withdraw 10/100 of the gold. This portion of the commission will be used as the money and capital for the Lishan Association and will be donated to the Hope Project to support the education in the poverty-stricken areas of the country. "

Xiao Mei Er explained again, "Oh! It seems that Old Lady Shu is a charity that benefits the nation and the people! "

Shen Lian sighed.

"Hehe, in the ten odd years since the establishment of Lishan Association, its members have already spread throughout the entire country, and there are even many countries and regions in the world that have members from the Lishan Association!"

Xiao Mei Er smiled and said with a mysterious expression, "I am one of them too!"

"Oh! No wonder you are so familiar with Sister Mei'er. "

Shen Lian finally understood the situation.

"Sigh, I don't even have the qualifications to join the Lishan Association."

Su Ruoxue suddenly sighed.

"Huh? Ruo Xue, why can't you join us? "

Shen Lian hurriedly asked her curiously.

"If you want to become a member of the Lishan Association, other than having to be a young lady from a noble family, there is another important condition, and that is to have a decent level of knowledge in various works of art and antiques, or to have to be a woman in charge of this business to be able to join! "Because the main source of funding for Lishan Association is the organization of auctions. If one does not have the ability in this area, it is impossible for one to become a member. And in this area, I am an outsider, so …"

Su Ruoxue explained before continuing, "I am not like the Sister Mei'er. Not only is she an expert in this area, she also has a high level of appraising antiques and paintings, and naturally became a high quality member of the Lishan Association!"

"Isn't Lishan Association a female charity? Why are you so engrossed in it? "

Shen Lian became even more curious.

"Shen Lian, do you want to know the real reason?"

Xiao Mei Er asked Shen Lian.

"Of course I want to know."

Shen Lian nodded his head.

"Hehe, the real reason is actually to obtain top tier resources."

Xiao Mei Er said.

"Top grade resources?"

Shen Lian was stunned, he did not understand what this meant.

"As for this question, let me tell you about it."

Seeing Shen Lian's confused look, Su Ruoxue directly told him the reason behind it. In this society, whether it was a large scale race, or a small scale family, or a business, there were classes and levels everywhere. The rich class was also divided into levels, and those who weren't like cats or dogs could be called Wealthy Class.

Even the Wealthy Class families had to have a clear hierarchy in terms of talent and seniority.

For example, the Four Great Families of China are rich families that have settled down from history. They are truly rich. Even though they have been floating for a few years, they are still unable to shake the honor and glory of their Wealthy Families.

And the wealth and status of those rich and powerful families that had risen in the past twenty years relied on opportunities and hard work. Although they were recognized by society, their social status was far inferior to the Four Great Families of China.

To put it bluntly, a rich person was not necessarily a rich person; a rich person was not necessarily a wealthy family. A high class society was best at distinguishing between status and social status, and it never got tired of it.

Thus, there were different levels to the banquet, just as there were different levels to the high-class places in the city. Middle-tier and lower-tier rich people would not be able to get in and out of the night banquet and party hosted by the upper echelons.

The's banquet in the Sky Sovereign Empire this time was without a doubt a grand feast for the Wealthy Class families in Binjiang City. It was a grand occasion that could be counted on one hand, bringing together the Wealthy Class families and officials.

Those who were invited, of course, felt that their faces were shining with glory.

Those who did not receive an invitation had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh.

The reason was that for a banquet of this level organized by the Lishan Association, other than being a symbol of status and identity, not a single guest was not a well-known person.

In such an environment, through various exchanges and interactions, many businesses were naturally settled. Even those who did not engage in any business discussions could befriend various people. In the future, they might even have the opportunity to work together.

As long as one had brains, if one wanted to talk about business cooperation or connections in such a banquet, with these conditions, it would no longer be difficult for them to develop their career.

After hearing Su Ruoxue's explanation, Shen Lian finally understood that this was what Xiao Mei Er meant by "top tier resources".

Got it.
