The German mission did not know about the treatment of the church in East China, but was very satisfied with the tall, splendid church, complete religious facilities, and professional priests who were able to conduct their first service after disembarkation in such a church.

Although Prince Heinrich knew the strategy of East China's ** towards the church, he was very wise not to say it, after all, this is the internal affairs of East China**, and there is no German church here.

After the service, the group drove back to Shanghai New Area to see the fashion show held in the Shanghai New Area shopping mall.

After more than 4 years of operation and construction, the Shanghai New Area Shopping Center has become the commercial center of the entire Shanghai area, integrating shopping, leisure, entertainment and sightseeing, under normal circumstances, the daily flow of people can exceed 100,000, and the turnover amount reaches more than 30 million silver dollars. After carefully examining the operation mode of the shopping mall in the Shanghai New Area, the foreign businessmen in the concession also planned to join forces to open a similar commercial shopping organization. However, at this time, East China ** took back the concession, so this plan was stillborn.

The fashion show is also a regular activity in the shopping mall of Shanghai New District, organized by Jiang Yi, Wang Chi and Zeng Linghan's Wuren Clothing Company, which is held every three months, on the one hand, to release the new costumes launched by the company, and on the other hand, it will also imitate the Victoria's Secret show of the old time and space, and carry out some completely performative exhibitions.

After the establishment of the Wuren clothing company, it has been constantly expanding, almost every year will be 6-7 percent of the net profit into the expansion of the regulations, at the same time, East China has also given great support to the Wuren clothing company, most of the first department of work uniforms, After Yang Yuxin was dismissed, he joined the management team of the Wuren Garment Company, and he was originally a business-minded person, realizing that the Far East War was a great opportunity at that time, so he not only advocated that the garment company should expand the industry, but also marched to the upstream of the garment industry, and set up a spinning mill and a weaving factory, so as to form a one-stop production chain of spinning, weaving and garment-making. At the same time, Wuren Garment Company has also officially developed into Wuren Group.

Sure enough, after the start of the Far East War, the demand for cloth and clothing increased greatly, and the orders of various factories were full, and Yang Yuxin continued to expand the scale of the group, on the one hand, and paid close attention to product quality, so the clothing fabrics of the Wuren brand were also widely praised by the East China ** and the army, and at the beginning of 1907, the East China ** financial constraints, and the payment of the money began to be in arrears.

But Yang Yuxin Bi Jing is a senior official, after careful analysis that East China is actually a victory, the current financial tension is just the darkness before the dawn, so he tried his best to persuade other shareholders that at this time should fully support the **, so the continuous credit of about 300 million silver dollars of products, so that the group is burdened with heavy debts, several shareholders will take out their private savings to maintain the operation of the group.

However, after the battle of the Taiwan Strait, the situation has also been greatly improved, after receiving the first indemnity, East China ** first paid off the debts of the Wuren Group, and gave them a large number of clothing and cloth orders, which also greatly increased the business volume of the Wuren Group.

At present, Wuren Group includes garment companies, weaving factories and spinning mills, and has more than 2,500 sets of various garment machinery and equipment, with an annual output of more than 300 pieces of clothing, more than 1,200 looms, with an annual weaving volume of more than 80 million horses, 15,000 spindles, more than 60 million bags of spinning yarn, and more than 8,000 employees, with an estimated annual turnover of 800-10 million silver dollars and a net profit of 200-2.5 million silver dollars. The entire output accounts for about half of the textile industry in East China, and it can be regarded as the largest private enterprise in the old man.

Of course, at present, the main product of Wuren Group is finished clothing, and the clothes produced are mainly divided into two categories: customized finished uniforms and daily clothing.

Later, with the expansion of the scale of the clothing company, various types and styles of clothing have also increased, and at the same time, the professional requirements for the performers are getting higher and higher.

Just when the shareholders of Wuren Clothing Company also began to discuss whether to set up a professional performance team, and Yang Yuxin suggested that professional things should be left to professionals, it is better to contract all the costume display and performance activities to the performance troupe in East China, and only need to pay them a performance fee, so that they can even sign a long-term performance contract.

Among the veterans, there were originally three performance teams performing on the passenger ro-ro ship, and there was also a professional media group, when East China was just established, these people together pulled up a choir, and cooperated with East China and the eight countries that invaded China during the negotiations in Shanghai, held a concert based on the main melody rate and positive energy, which was a great success at that time, and successively performed more than 100 performances, which were widely praised by all walks of life in Shanghai.

However, the choir was formed temporarily, and many of them were students, so they were disbanded after the performance. However, some of the elders believe that the choir should be retained, or a new performance troupe should be formed to train professional actors and engage in various performance activities in East China.

This suggestion was also agreed by the leadership of East China at that time, after all, culture and art belong to the soft power of the country, and it is also a very important national force, and East China itself also has a large number of propaganda activities, and it also needs such a professional performance team, not to mention that it doesn't cost much to raise a troupe, mainly to approve some old and empty equipment, such as sound, playing equipment, professional lighting furniture, etc., but these things are actually not of much use, so it is better to approve the performance team, so that they can play a role. Of course, the full-time members of the troupe must be adults, and minors can be used to participate in the performance, but only part-time and part-time, and can only train in their spare time, except in special circumstances, the maximum leave for a performance shall not exceed 1 week, and the cumulative leave for a year shall not exceed 30 days.

Now there are a total of 11 veterans in the troupe, and it has grown to a total of more than 150 people and more than 100 actors, and can engage in various forms of performance activities.

When Yang Yuxin was working in Tianjin and Shanghai, he cooperated with the troupe, so he immediately thought of them. The two sides basically hit it off, and soon signed a 10-year performance contract.

After the professionals took over, it was really different, After the research of the troupe, a plan was provided to the Wuren clothing company, first of all, it was determined that the costume show would be held regularly every year according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, of course, it could be combined with some traditional festivals, and there were other celebrations, and then the number of performances was increased, and the form was divided into two parts, one was to display new clothing, The second is the pure performance nature, that is, the Victoria's Secret show that imitates the old time and space, and the ultimate goal is to make the costume show a fashion business card in Shanghai and even East China, and it is also a brand of the troupe.

This suggestion also has the support of several shareholders of Wuren Clothing Company, after all, the name of the Victoria's Secret show, the veterans all know, if this clothing show can really be held in this time and space Victoria's Secret show, of course, it is a huge achievement.

In this way, at the end of 1905, the troupe held three seasons of costume shows in Shanghai, which were welcomed by many people because of the great changes in form and regulations, and the content was much richer than before.

Of course, these two costume shows also have some controversy, mainly in the later stage of pure performance, although compared with the old time and space, the costumes of the performance have been quite conservative, almost not even the arms and thighs are exposed, but most of the costumes of the performance are still slim and tight-fit, but from the point of view of this era, this scale is still quite large, so after the first costume show, many people accuse this kind of clothing show of being immoral and morally corrupt, and even some people are in Shanghai New District** , requesting the cancellation of the costume show. But of course Shanghai New District ** will not care about these things, not to mention that in the eyes of the patriarchs, this is too conservative to be more conservative, to be honest, some female patriarchs' daily clothing scale is much larger than this, if even this scale can not be accepted, then what is the strength of this day.

Shanghai New District ** no matter what, the costume show can of course continue to be held, and the people are very fond of this form of performance, in fact, there are too few entertainment activities in this era, killing people can lead to a large group of people to watch, although in the shopping center, there are at least 5 or 6 different forms of traditional performances every day, but the form of the costume show is novel, the visual and auditory impact is very strong, and you can blatantly see the beauty, which is naturally attractive. Of course, on the territory of East China, no one dares to make trouble here.

However, the costume show was only held for two quarters, and just when the troupe was about to do a big job, it was called off due to the urgency of the war. This suspension lasted for almost half a year, and it was not resumed until the signing of the [Harbin Treaty] between East China ** and Russia, so this is also the first performance held after the resumption of the costume show.

The troupe, the Wuren Group and the shopping center in the new district all plan to make this performance more lively and larger. The three persons in charge of the troupe, Yang Sen, Gong Weibo, and Li Weibo, all went into battle in person, selected elite soldiers and strong generals in the troupe, and began to organize, rehearse, and train one month in advance, and the Wuren Group also made a large number of performance costumes for this performance. At the same time, the shopping center in the new district has also carried out extensive publicity.

At this time, the German mission came to Shanghai, so after Li Songchen communicated with the shopping center in the new district, he decided to invite all the members of the German mission to watch this performance and show the Germans the literary and artistic level of East China.
