The purpose of everyone present was different, even Tang Nan, who seemed to merely be helping to introduce people, had her agenda.
After all, being part of the entertainment circle, her friends wanted to meet with her Stock God friend. To maintain relationships and to help Su Qing expand his social circle were all part of her intentions.
Perhaps she wouldn't gain any tangible benefits, but she would certainly gain in terms of personal favors. If a collaboration could really be achieved, both Su Qing and her friends would owe her a favor.
Personal favors are the hardest debts to repay. At their level, small benefits can be set aside, and personal favors are exchanged for more personal favors.
As for Su Qing and the women, it's entirely an exchange for mutual benefit, to see if the other has something they need.
As for discussing personal favors among them? Forget it. What kind of personal favor could there be at a first meeting? Let alone helping you make money.
