Raymond nodded.
Raymond had already expected that some forces would choose not to attend the meeting.
The cocktail party had a wide range of functions in Western society.
For example, business talks, various festivals, such as today's opening ceremony of the research institute, and so on.
Attending the cocktail party basically represented a kind of blessing or approval attitude.
And not attending was naturally a clear expression of their disapproval!
Moreover, those who didn't attend were basically all large families. This was something that Raymond had roughly guessed!
There were many families in the United States. They held great power and had deep financial strength.
But without a doubt, these families were also the most realistic forces!
When they felt that Raymond had no investment value, they didn't even want to attend the banquet!
