Chapter 273 Tea Party

Standing in front of the dressing mirror in the bedroom, a loving couple is tidying up their clothes. The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is gentle and pretty, and she is a perfect match for a man and a beautiful woman.

It was Liu Haoran and his wife Chen Yinghe who had been married for two years. Although they had not yet had children, their world was still quite happy and fulfilling. The deep love between husband and wife is also envious, and it is a temporary story in the upper class of Hualian.

Many girls in the flower season are very sorry for the original playboy Liu Haoran's "change his family and become a good person". They have a scandal with such an industrial tycoon with a decent value, which is a very good "qualification".

"Yinghe, how about it?" Liu Haoran pulled his collar with a confident smile on his face. He asked his wife about his opinion. He was going to attend a tea party in the steel industry and met many people. He could not have any misconduct.

"Well, I think it would be better to change into another dress." Chen Yinghe smiled seriously. Her husband's achievements made her deeply proud, and her emotions were even more dedicated. She certainly understood the importance of this tea party to her husband, so she seemed to pay special attention to it.

The silver-plated glass mirror truthfully reflects Liu Haoran's heroic posture and a graceful and luxurious Xuanduan dress. This is part of the etiquette of Hualian restoring ancient clothing after referring to the opinions of Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies.

It is not generally advocated in the entire society, but is only institutionalized in the upper class, becoming a symbol of status. This itself avoids the public grievance caused by forced changes in customs, and allows the people below to follow suit.

Since ancient times, the people have had something to do with each other, and there is no need to force Hanfu to promote. The people will make their own choices based on the celebrity effect.

Looking at the tall and handsome figure in the dressing mirror, Liu Haoran himself was also very satisfied. Xuanduan was a common court and scholar dress in the pre-Qin period, and was an embodiment of the "clothes system" of Chinese dresses.

The clothes of Han garments are divided into two pieces, the top and the bottom.

Xuan Duan robe is made of top and bottom robe. Xuan Duan robe is made of fifteen liters of cloth, each piece of cloth is two feet and two inches long. Because the ancient cloth was narrow, only two feet and two inches, each piece of cloth was square, straight and square, so it was called Duan.

Because Xuanduan's clothes are unmarked and colorful, they also have the meaning of uprightness and squareness, this kind of clothes is called "Xuanduan". An ancient saying goes: The clothes are made of Xuanduan. It can be held at the ceremony, and can live in the swallow, from the emperor to the lower level and the scholars.

Within the social system of Hualian, formal occasions must be worn in etiquette, especially in the commercial and political fields, as well as various famous social occasions. This is not a rigid rule, but it is obvious that if you do not do enough etiquette in this aspect, you will be vaguely rejected within the system.

Just like those so-called scholars and celebrities who used to regard themselves as the old masters of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Hualian was a traitor and corrupt person with no status and real benefits. Just as Buddhists could not be officials, although they had not written into the constitutional outline, whether it was the Hualian's cabinet or the parliament, this was a tacit fact.

The upper body is a mysterious garment, with only golden silk embroidered with light square patterns on the collar and cuffs, while the rest are quiet and elegant plain. The lower body is a knee-covered woven with silk brocade, which is slightly narrower than the garment, and is flush with the lower edge of the garment, embroidered with exquisite ancient Qilin patterns.

There are grouped pens engraved with auspicious patterns such as Yinglong Tengfei on the waist, and the Xuanguan and white silk mid-lane are combined together, which is the standard dress for this tea party.

As Mrs. Liu who accompanied her attendance, Chen Yinghe also wore a dress with grace and charming appearance.

Taking advantage of their own "Tianpui" sedan, the couple set out to Guangzhou, which is now the political center of the entire Guangdong Province.

Tea party, as the name suggests, is a tea party. It evolved from tea party and tea party. It is neither as grand and particular as ancient tea party or tea party, nor as Japanese "tea ceremony" requires a set of strict etiquette and rules, but a gathering for guests to entertain with tea or refreshments.

The purpose of this tea party is to determine the future development direction of the entire Hualian Steel Industry. To put it bluntly, it is the group or those people who will control the dominance of Hualian Steel Industry. The interests involved are not bit by bit, but are so huge that they make people want to be crazy about the amount of capital.

The steel industry has always been an asset belonging to the military, but in fact, it was managed by the steel industry company under Tianyu Group. This tea party was Chen Ze who planned to separate the steel company from his industrial empire and hand it over to an organization qualified to take over.

Among the participants, Yi Zhongming was not very interested in assets outside the chemical field. Instead, Xinghua News Agency, which is mainly engaged in the development of the shipbuilding industry, is most likely. Liu Haoran is the protagonist of this tea party, which is related to a large steel production line with an annual output of 500,000 tons.

In 1927, Japan's steel production was only more than two million tons. As for the ** government's production capacity of less than two thousand tons, there was no need to compare it.

Steel production, today after the completion of the second industrial **, is an indicator of industrial strength related to national strength. Is it necessary to build ships to "build steel", cars or "build steel", guns, ammunition, and aircraft, nothing is something that humans can produce without steel.

The rise of the steel industry is the fundamental driving force for the rise of Hualian's economy. At least before the large-scale development of high-end technology, this is the case.

Because of this importance, many eyes are staring here. Some business associations or families with strong capital and financial resources are drooling at the fat meat in the steel industry, hoping to pull off a piece of thick fresh meat from it and have a full meal.

But only a few people can truly understand that even if they are qualified to participate in this tea party, they may not be equivalent to obtaining the bidding qualification. Because from the beginning, the new overlord in the steel industry was decided early in the morning.

Without Zhong Yang's support and help, Chen Ze and Liu Haoran would have to make great progress in the field of steel production. The demand for various machinery and equipment and the exploration of advanced technology will consume a lot of capital, manpower and precious time.

Duan Yitian, Duan Jingnan, and Huo Renxuan, who vaguely guessed the inside story, knew this well. The Zhang family, who had just moved here from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, would not feel too jealous of Liu Haoran because they had obtained the share of Pingguo Aluminum.

Although the Guangdong-Hai Business Association is considered to be a veteran, it still focuses its development in the field of light industry. They always have doubts and wary about investment in heavy industry. This is also the difference between businessmen and entrepreneurs. Although Duan Yitian is smart, the imprint of the old era is still too deep.

When he arrived at Tianyu International Hotel in a special car, Liu Haoran took his wife Shiran out of the car. There were already special service staff waiting here, providing thoughtful and meticulous services, which made people impeccable.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Liu Haoran entered the pre-decorated venue. It was not big. He simply arranged it in a hall next to the hall. The mahogany square tables, fragrant tea, refreshments, and fresh and delicious fruits are all.

There are also many wooden chairs and dining tables around the venue, with refined and delicious meals placed on them. The decoration is not grand and elegant, but instead highlights an elegant and comfortable low, which is exactly in line with the purpose of the tea party.

Seeing that it was too early, Liu Haoran found a secluded place to sit down and whispered to his wife. He was only in his early thirties, and because of his proper maintenance, he still retained the vitality of a young man. In addition, most of the participants were strangers who were not very familiar with, but not many people recognized him.

As one of the giants of Hualian, his appearance rate is actually not very high, and the distortion of newspaper photos in black and white pages makes people speechless. Therefore, no one who has never seen Liu Haoran would have imagined that such a young and capable person is actually one of the real power controllers behind the entire Hualian.

The president of Xinghua News Agency is a business giant who can be compared with Chen Ze, the president of Tianyu Group. Whether in terms of power or financial resources, he is a giant that cannot be imagined by the lower class people. He is one of the main creators of the entire Hualian, wealth, status, and power, gathered together.

Those who can come here are told basic etiquette requirements. As for others, some people are probably businessmen from other places, and they don’t pay much attention to their clothes. Some are wearing long gowns, some are wearing suits, and some are actually wearing Zhongshan suits.

Looking at these clowns of all kinds, Liu Haoran sneered slightly. Without Hanfu, it proved the status of these people within the Hualian or their own attitude.

In the past two years, Hualian has made great progress in its development momentum, and has maintained high access capabilities in both economic, political and military fields.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of many forces, and even ulterior motives. Capital merchants from the United States and Britain, secret agents sent by the ** government and Japan, and infiltrated the system of Hualian under various identities and names.

But most people still wear clothes similar to Liu Haoran's styles. These businessmen know the hidden "unwritten rules" inside Hualian.

Although it is a foregone conclusion that Liu Haoran has the main share of the steel field, there are still some downstream industries as blank spaces for private capital, which is the benefit they urgently need to strive for.

"Father, how can I wear this dress so uncomfortable?" The man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes was Duan Yitian's eldest son Duan Haicheng. He was wearing a mysterious dress, but he was also full of heroic posture. However, he looked a little awkward.

This is true. I got used to simple suits and suddenly let him wear orthodox Hanfu, which is indeed not very light.

"You stay in this outfit for me, and you have to wear it well before you go home." Duan Yitian whispered a lesson in his unrealistic son, and Duan Yitian was full of black hair. His son is in his thirties now, and even his child is two years old, but he is still exaggerated and has no steady appearance.

Especially compared with Chen Ze and others of his peers, he highlighted his son's "nothing can be achieved". The fact is not the case. Duan Haicheng is usually laughing and not serious, but in fact he has excellent communication skills and humorous conversation.

However, compared with what Duan Yitian was looking forward to, it was naturally far behind. This father and son were also one of the jokes in the upper class. There was no malice, but the interesting story of the two fathers and sons fighting each other, which often makes people happy.

"I understand, father, who told you to be my father?" Duan Haicheng's move made Duan Yitian's wrinkled old face suddenly furious. However, there were many outsiders present, who were embarrassed to have an attack, and were planning to go home to deal with this "rebellious son" like this.

Du Jingnan, who was accompanying him, whispered with his ears: "Brother, Liu Haoran is here, just sit there." After saying that, he gave a secret wink and pointed out the seat of the small round dining table where Liu Haoran and his wife were.

"Well, let's go over, Haicheng, you can follow you too." After a glance, seeing that it was indeed Liu Haoran and his wife, Duan Yitian also looked solemn, nodded and led several people over to say hello.

Today is different from the past. Liu Haoran's identity is extraordinary. It is very necessary to live a prosperous life in Hualian and establish a good relationship with such a powerful person.

Along the way, after a few waves of people who wanted to get in love, Duan Yitian and others finally came to the corner where Liu Haoran was. He greeted warmly: "President Liu, Mrs. Liu, I'm lucky to meet you."

The square face of the national character, the smile made the meat squeeze together, which was not false. Both sides had a good cooperative relationship, and Liu Haoran also responded politely. Both sides began to sit together, talking and laughing.

"My sister-in-law is getting younger and more beautiful, so I don't know when I can bring my little nephew out." The topic is also relatively relaxed, all of which are trivial things in daily life. Duan Haicheng also asked Chen Yinghe's embarrassing questions with a funny look on his face, without any discord.

Because he and Liu Haoran are of the same generation, and although they are playboys, they are not tricky rogues and have a good friendship.

"You little brat, you still don't want Uncle Duan to rest assured." Liu Haoran patted Duan's shoulder and laughed and scolded. He called Duan Yitian the position during business, but in private he was calling Uncle Duan affectionately.

Although the two families have had misunderstandings and unpleasant past events, they are not unsolvable hatred. What's more, the large-scale cooperation between the two parties in light industry such as textiles has long had solid common interests, and no one deliberately mentioned the filth of the past.

It's not generous, but a practical need.

After chatting for a while, Duan Yitian and Du Jingnan got up and left. There were still many people who wanted to meet, so Duan Haicheng was left alone with him.

"What's going on with those guys?" Duan Haicheng looked at the "outsiders" wearing other clothes, then turned around and asked in a low voice to Liu Haoran.

The tea party has not started yet, and the crowds are gathered together in groups of three or three, each with their own social circles. No one will make fun of themselves and do the kind of rude thing that interrupts.

Shaking his head, Liu Haoran's lips were filled with disdain: "Who else can it be? The Japanese, the people from the ** Army, the old and young people who forgot their ancestors and forgot their ancestors and clans." The voice was not loud, and only a few people present could barely hear it.

"Why did Chen Ze find these guys?" He drank hot tea in big mouthfuls, without any elegant temperament, but this free and carefree attitude did not make people feel annoying, but instead had a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

"Uninvited guests, it's not the same if you don't invite them. You can't stop them outside." Liu Haoran answered casually with his head leaning on the back of the chair. These uninvited people all have a big backstage, and it's not Chen Ze's style to offend people for nothing.

"Even Japanese businessmen are joining in the fun. When will they start to care about Qihualian's economic affairs?" Due to some trade frictions and exploitation in the past, Duan Haicheng has never had a good impression of the Japanese and always looks at any resident from the island country with hostile eyes.

"How could they not come? According to their own statistics, Japan's annual steel production last year was only 2.15 million tons. We are now launching a steel production line with a capacity of at least 500,000 tons. I'm afraid many people can't sleep." Liu Haoran was a little laughing as he speculated the faces of the Japanese chaebol boss.

Japan spent half a century on capitalist reform, which is indeed amazing in terms of its results. But manpower cannot defy the will of heaven. Japan's land area is only 370,000 square kilometers, and its area is only more than twice that of Guangdong Province. This is not included in Hainan Island.

The resources are poor and the mountains and forests are densely packed with disadvantages in the process of industrialization. Retreat cannot be defended, and there is nowhere to attack, which limits the spirit and future of the entire nation.

Japan is more nervous about the situation in China than the Soviet Union. A rising China may be just a potential threat to the Soviet Union. But it is a fundamentally fatal factor for Japan's development.

The land of China has vast mountains and rivers, a large population, and an amazing resource reserve. Moreover, after thousands of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it has long become the most legendary ancient country in the world.

The vast land means a long strategic depth, and such countries and nations are enough to withstand any failure. The resource reserves are not afraid of the economic blockade of hostile countries, and have the potential to continue to develop in a sealed environment.

Although enslaved by a barbaric and ignorant inferior nation for nearly three hundred years, China still has hope of re-emerging. Japan has begun to gradually realize that China has an emerging force that can threaten their own existence.

However, considering the existence of the British and the international situation they need to face, Japan does not intend to adopt a tough attitude. The aggressive US Navy in the Pacific is the object they must always pay attention to.

As for Hualian, in the minds of the senior executives of Fuso, they are not qualified to become an opponent of the Great Japanese Empire, and they only have the potential to grow.

As long as Hualian does not create battleships with displacement of more than 10,000 tons, it will not dispatch the Japanese bottom line and will "cannot" interfere with the strategic balance of the entire East Asia region.

The Hualian Navy still maintained considerable restraint in this regard. The passionate blood is the passionate blood, and the national strategy cannot be impulsive and sarcastic...
