Chapter Seventy-One: Cheng Pai Tsing Yi
"Cheng School" is a Peking Opera art school founded by Mr. Cheng Yanqiu, one of the "Four Famous Dans" during the Republic of China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cheng Yanqiu, Mei Lanfang, the founder of "Mei Pai", Shang Xiaoyun, the founder of "Shang Pai", and Xun Huisheng, the founder of "Xun Pai", are known as the "Four Famous Dans", which are famous in Beijing and broadcast overseas. Some people commented: The Mei school pays attention to "style" - graceful and luxurious, elegant and generous, the Shang school pays attention to "stick" - pays equal attention to singing and dancing, and Kun chaos is unstoppable, the Cheng school pays attention to "singing" - deep and tortuous, and the throat is tactful, and the Xun school pays attention to "waves" - soft and lively, fresh and smooth.
Cheng Pai's "singing" has a very unique artistic style, "tactful, ups and downs, intermittent, rhythmic changeable", this singing style is beautiful, which can best reflect the inner world of young women's sorrow, sadness and frustration.
Therefore, Cheng sent heirs, and many of them worked in Tsing Yi.
Xiao Xiuyun is the third generation of the Cheng faction, and he is also the most famous "Jiaoer" in the Tsing Yi of the Cheng faction today.
Just like the "fan economy" in the entertainment industry now, there are many fans who are fanatical about those idol stars, buying albums, picking up people at the airport, and organizing groups to follow idols everywhere.......
The "famous actors" in the Peking Opera industry also have fans who love her, which is the so-called "Jiaoer".
These fans, out of love for their favorite horns, waved their flags and shouted, stood to cheer, offered advice, threw money and gifts, and were even willing to follow the work of dogs and horses.
The horns flourished during the Republic of China, from high-ranking government officials, businessmen and tycoons, to literati and writers, and ordinary people, who lived and grew up with drama. Someone has to hold the horn, and someone is willing to hold it. Peking Opera is a special art, so it is attractive and can be called, not by virtue of complex and thrilling plot stories, but by the performance of the horns. To listen to the drama is to listen to the horns. No matter how familiar the play is, as long as a certain character sings, someone will pay to listen to it. That's the horn.
Xiao Xiuyun is obviously a "famous actor" who has many ticket holders.
An excerpt from "Yang's Troubled Country" in "Concubine Mei", she sang tactfully and lowly, with a quiet throat like crying, and at the end of the song, applause and applause rang out.
Many older entrepreneurs are still closing their eyes and reminiscing, Du Weikang has rushed to the stage from one side to the other and sent a large bouquet of flowers to Xiao Xiuyun.
Lin Feng looked at Du Weikang's smile full of admiration from a distance, which was very different from the image that he had always been steady and calm when he came into contact before, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
whispered to Zhao Jun: "Du Weikang is really pursuing Xiao Xiuyun?"
Zhao Jun said with a smile: "That's not it, or I said to watch a good show, this Lao Du is obsessed with Xiao Xiuyun, and for a while he ran to Jinmen every day, and asked someone from CCTV to do an interview specifically for Xiao Xiuyun, help Xiao Xiuyun go to the Spring Festival Gala, and also record her performance, not to mention being busy!"
Then he pointed slightly to another person who followed Du Weikang to the stage to offer flowers, and said with a smile: "I didn't see that person, the old eight prominent families in Shanghai, the son of the Xi family in Jiangnan, called Xi Shixin, came back from the United States in recent years, and began to enter the development of Shanghai's financial circle, he is also pursuing Xiao Xiuyun, and he paid for Xiao Xiuyun to open many special concerts in Shanghai and Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”
Lin Feng looked at Xiao Xiuyun and politely took the bouquet of Xi Shixin, Du Weikang looked at Xi Shixin fiercely with a hesitant face, and couldn't help but wonder.
It's another life away from his life circle, and it's quite interesting to see it once in a while.
…………
After the performance, Lin Feng, Zhao Jun, He Wei and others went to the café on the 9th floor to drink coffee and wait for Du Weikang to come back.
Lin Feng listened to a few people chatting about Du Weikang's pursuit of Xiao Xiuyun, because Du Weikang is married, although he works so hard, Xiao Xiuyun always treats him as if he leaves, accepts the flower basket, and occasionally accompanies him to eat and drink coffee, but it is difficult to go further, which makes everyone laugh, and now there is a new seat, it is estimated that Lao Du's heart must be very broken.
While a few people were laughing and talking, an old man about sixty years old walked by, talking to the people around him, looking at the person next to him who leaned back half a step slightly, bowed down and spoke, this old man was obviously also an extraordinary person.
Zhao Jun glanced at the old man, hurriedly stood up, and greeted respectfully: "Uncle Zhang, hello!"
The old man turned his gaze and saw Zhao Jun, stopped, and a smile appeared on his face: "Oh, it's Xiaojun, you are also here to listen to the play today?" I heard you Uncle Xie say that you have an awkward quarrel with Yanyan? Don't bully Yanyan, otherwise I will sue your father!"
Zhao Jun's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "How can it, Yanyan and I are very good, Uncle Zhang, don't fight without asking!"
The old man pointed at Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "You, little monkey cub ......." In a blink of an eye, he glanced at everyone present, saw that they were all young people, and didn't say much: "Let's talk, Uncle has made an appointment." Nodding, under the guidance of the person next to him, he walked towards the private room inside.
Zhao Jun shook his head with a wry smile and sat down.
Next to him, He Wei smiled and asked: "Is the surname Zhang?" Is it the old man Zhang Ruilin Zhang from China Merchants Bank?"
When Lin Feng heard the four words of China Merchants Bank, his heart moved.
Zhao Jun nodded: "Isn't it, this is a world friend with the Xie family, and when his family was still in Shanghai in the early years, he had a young friendship with Xie Yanyan and his father, and he had an old friendship for decades." …… I'm rubbing, this news is spreading too fast, isn't it, it's only been a few days since Xie Yanyan's Nizi ran back?
As he spoke, he glared at Lin Feng, obviously remembering what Lin Feng had teased him before.
Lin Feng spread his hands: "Xiao Qiang and Xie Yanyan are best friends, and they just talked on the phone inadvertently, why do you look at me like this?"
After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Who is the old man surnamed Zhang?"
Zhao Jun said casually: "He, a descendant of the Zhang family, a family of Shanghai banks, was the first to follow Yuan Geng to establish China Merchants Bank, who was the vice president in the past, and now the vice chairman, and also the chairman of China Merchants Capital Investment. ”
may have felt the pressure of the older generation, Zhao Jun was obviously not in a good mood, and nagged in his mouth: "It's really annoying, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!"
Lin Feng's mind was no longer here.
He's been thinking about online payments lately.
For the online game business, now he feels that the biggest bottleneck lies in the payment, the traditional point card sales channel is mainly Internet cafes, but the competition in this area is very fierce, Shanda has just acquired Jisheng Technology, its "Vientiane Network Management" billing system has 50,000 Internet café resources, into next year, and so Shi Yuzhu's Giant Group to enter the market, the strong push team is not now popular so temporary team can win.
Moreover, in order to consider the future, the payment platform should also be laid out in advance.
Before the crossing, Ant Financial, which was valued at $50 billion, and WeChat, whose valuation soared to 800 billion yuan after owning WeChat Pay, were all online payments.
This is a real nuclear product.
Now it's just 2003, Ali's Taobao has just been launched, and Alipay will have to wait 2 years before it appears.
The domestic banking industry is still mainly concentrated offline, and UnionPay was just established last year, and it is also promoting the interconnection of bank cards. Although the Internet in China has begun to develop rapidly, the online payment business of banks is still in its embryonic stage.
The fastest advance in the bank's online payment business is China Merchants Bank.
The expansion of traditional banking service channels is mainly based on the construction of business outlets, however, the extension of such physical branches requires high construction and maintenance costs. For China Merchants Bank, which was established relatively late and is relatively small-scale, it is obviously impossible to compete with the four major state-owned commercial banks in the construction of business outlets.
At this time, the Internet almost saved the life of China Merchants Bank. At least virtually, the cost of business development can be much lower. In 1997, China Merchants Bank launched its own website WWW.CMBCHINA.COM, which is one of the earliest domain names in China's banking industry. In June 1998, China Merchants Bank was the first to launch a B2C online payment system in China with the mentality of trying. However, at that time, it was only limited to local use in Shenzhen, and after doing a few single-room activities, I found that the daily transaction volume was really pitiful, so I simply did not carry out large-scale promotion.
In Lin Feng's memory, the most important reason why China Merchants Bank has rapidly developed into a leading commercial bank in China is its excellent network marketing and online payment business based on e-commerce.
In February 1998, China Merchants Bank launched the "One Net" service, becoming the first bank in China to launch online banking business. In September 1999, China Merchants Bank took the lead in launching online banking services in China, and established a relatively complete online banking service system consisting of online corporate banking, online personal banking, online securities, online shopping mall and online payment.
For the Internet, China Merchants Bank is undoubtedly the most interested and developing one in the banking industry.
Lin Feng remembered that the president of China Merchants Bank and Alibaba's Ma Yun had a very close relationship, which was obviously also due to the Internet strategy of China Merchants Bank.
At this time, e-commerce still needs a long process of development, and the game is a business model that can generate income immediately, in another two years, Shanda Shengpay, Tencent's Tenpay will be launched one after another, Shengpay is obviously Chen Tianqiao to solve the channel problem for game recharge, Tenpay was first for QQ members of the online value-added business recharge, and later a large proportion of the rapid development of Tencent games to provide a good recharge channel, and finally derived the payment business of WeChat.
Lin Feng felt that this was an opportunity!
Enter the online payment field early and seize the opportunity to get ahead!
While pondering, Du Weikang walked over with Xiao Xiuyun, who had already removed his makeup, dressed in beautiful fashion, and was glamorous.
Zhao Jun, He Wei and the others exchanged playful glances with each other, and got up to greet the two.
"Hey, Weikang, your face is not small, you really invited us Xiao!"
"Sister Xiao, sit down, you sang so well today, I was fascinated by it!"
Lin Feng stopped his thoughts, then stood up, smiling and not making a sound.
Du Weikang has been pursuing Xiao Xiuyun for a long time, and Xiao Xiuyun is also familiar with several of his good friends, but it is the first time Lin Feng has seen him, he politely shook hands with Lin Feng, and sat down elegantly.
"Thank you all for coming today, and the flower basket you sent!" Xiao Xiuyun spoke in private, her voice soft and clear, very different from the mournful and low singing voice on stage.
Du Weikang is still very interesting, in addition to sending 10 flower baskets at once, he also helped several brothers to send one each.
Xiao Xiuyun looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Weikang, Zhao Jun and they are all familiar to me, this gentleman is a first-time acquaintance." ”
Du Weikang helped introduce: "Sister Xiao, this is Lin Feng, and we are also our buddies, speaking of which, it is a bit of a match for your profession, he is the boss of My Love Music Network." ”
Xiao Xiuyun's beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "Oh, I know, I often listen to songs on my love music network when I ...... fine." Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure!"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Fortunately, Miss Xiao." ”
