According to the traditional banquet customs of the Chinese, Tang Yijin, as the host, should personally go to each table to toast the guests, but today's host is too old, so these little things can only be done by the juniors - the juniors here refer to Tang Ke and Tang Rui brothers.

Duanmu Ci looked at the backs of Tang Rui and Tang Ke toasting from table to table, and listened to Tang Yijin's voice in his ears, "Your father's identity is sensitive and he can't come in person, I know this, I can send you, I will accept his affection very much, you go back on my behalf to thank him." "This is speaking to Liu Qiancheng.

Liu Qiancheng responded very humbly, "Grandpa Tang, where are these words?" The younger generation should do this. In addition, my father also has some news that he wants to inform Grandpa Tang. ”

"Oh? What's the news? Tang Yijin was upright, and the news that the mayor personally wanted to pass on couldn't allow him to be distracted, in fact, not only him, but also the rest of the people in the room pricked up their ears one by one.

"My father said that the government may introduce some new policies in the near future to deal with the current economic situation, and I hope you can prepare as soon as possible. After all, you are all the elites of our Haishan business community, and to a certain extent, you can also represent the economic achievements of our Haishan. ”

Liu Ruochu, who is in charge of the retail industry, immediately asked, "Doesn't that seem to be good news?" ”

Liu Qiancheng nodded.

Han Wusheng frowned slightly, "Although we don't know what will happen, let's prepare first, so as not to suffer heavy losses." He was very knowledgeable and didn't ask what the policy was, because whether Liu Qiancheng knew it or not, it was impossible to say it, and this involved the basic discipline of an official.

After silently remembering this matter, everyone then diverged the topic.

Casual topics are "I bought a yacht in London last year, it's great to have a champagne party on it", "I have a leg with the hottest model at Paris Fashion Week", "I'm going to buy a piece of land in Australia to build a villa", etc.

A slightly more serious topic is "I opened a real estate project in Central last year and made hundreds of millions", "I lost tens of millions of dollars in the recent business downturn" and so on.

And Duanmuci also understood at a deeper level why the Chinese have to divide the seats, not a level of people can't speak at all! Can you expect a white-collar class to talk about something like "British yachts are better than Germany", "The weather in Paris this summer may not be suitable for vacations"?

Obviously not a dimension, okay......

You can't have fun together at all......

Just when the guests were pushing cups and changing lamps and talking highly, Tang Jingchang's phone suddenly rang, and when he saw the caller ID, a touch of joy flashed in his eyes, and then turned out of the hall to answer the phone.

After a while, Tang Jingchang returned to his seat, and in the face of his father's inquiring gaze, he seemed to be very calm and said, "It's Nordin, the heir of the Greek Orthea family, who called, and he said that he was about to come to the hotel to celebrate his father's birthday." ”

Tang Jingchang didn't seem to understand what the surname Althea represented, so he explained, "The Orthea family is the descendants of the Greek royal family, although Greece is already a republic, but the upper class of Europe still generally recognizes the former barony on the Orseya family coat of arms. ”

Descendants of the Greek royal family, European high society, barony on the family coat of arms - these key terms are tantamount to introducing the image of a traditional European aristocracy to all of you.

Old Man Tang's state of mind that had been cultivated for many years couldn't help but ripple slightly.

Although this era is already a general decline of royal power, and the nobles of the court can only hide in their own estates to remember the exploits of their ancestors, it cannot be denied that their halo still shines. Even the politicians and businessmen who dominate the world will associate with them with a high spirit.

As a rich man from a poor background, after making enough money, Old Man Tang always thinks about how to make the Tang family look more like a famous family than a wealthy family. A family with heritage and temperament cannot be piled up with money alone, and it needs more cultivation.

Let's say social circles.

The heritage and grade of a family, to a large extent, also depend on what kind of family intersects with this family. For example, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Shandong scholars chose between the "five surnames and seven families" no matter how they married, and they were all these families over and over again, and even the emperor couldn't look down on them.

The same goes for the European royal family, although the current atmosphere is enlightened, and there have been many commoner princesses and princesses marrying in the royal families, but if you go back a few centuries, you will find that the nobles who beat Europe into a pot of porridge are actually related to each other, among which the "grandmother of Europe" Queen Verolia of Britain is the most, and the protagonists who broke the world apart in World War I are almost all her descendants.

If the Tang family can make friends with this Greek nobleman, then basically the Tang family automatically obtained an invitation to enter the European high society, and this invitation is rare. What's more, it is not only a face issue that is involved, but also an economic issue. If you make friends with the Orsya family, you may be able to open up the market of the European upper class, which is what makes Old Man Tang the most excited.

And it's not just a face-saving issue that is involved, it's also an economic issue. If you make friends with the Orsya family, you may be able to open up the market of the European upper class, which is what makes Old Man Tang the most excited. Although the Duanmu family is also a powerful Western family, it is a pity that due to its special status as a Chinese and its low-key style, it cannot actually provide any practical help for the Tang family to expand its territory overseas.

Therefore, this invitation is not only wanted by Old Man Tang, but also by the other guests at this table, and it is estimated that only Duanmu Ci and Liu Qiancheng can be relatively calm among the present.

Duanmu Ci is calm because he doesn't need to care about it at all, and Liu Qiancheng is calm because his family background is sensitive, and he has to be calm about making "foreign friends......

Tang Yijin hurriedly asked, "When will this distinguished guest arrive?" ”

Tang Jingchang smiled calmly, "About ten minutes." ”

Tang Yijin made a decisive decision, "You go to the gate to greet him now, don't be lazy!" ”

Tang Jingchang nodded with a heavy face, as if he had received an amazing task, and after showing his father a "please rest assured" look, he went out to greet the Greek baron who came from afar.

Duanmu Ci watched coldly from the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this.

The century-old national humiliation since modern times has almost wiped out the prestige of the kingdom accumulated over the past 5,000 years, and it has not been able to ease up until today. In the face of Westerners, Chinese people always feel that they can't help but feel a head shorter, on the one hand, they advertise themselves as the Celestial Empire, and on the other hand, they admit that the West is the center of the modern world.

Duanmuci does not have this problem, from ancient times to the present, he has always felt that China is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the so-called "century-old national shame" is just a snap of his fingers compared to his long life.

What's more, the heir of the so-called Baron Orseja from Greece is not a high-end goods, he is a prodigal person, and his reputation in the aristocratic circle is simply stinky, for such a person, even if his status is noble, Duanmu Ci is too lazy to take another look.

Tang Tingshu, Tang Ke and his son next to him didn't think so, they thought that this incident would be fatal to them. An heir who can make friends with the upper class of Europe is definitely much more useful than an heir who can only collect paintings and calligraphy, because the latter can only provide entertainment for the ears and eyes, while the former can open the door to the international market.

In other words, the impression points that Tang Ke earned in the old man's heart through the dedication of calligraphy and painting were all wiped out by this unusual raid of Tang Jingchang's father and son at this moment! After now, who will remember the matter of calligraphy and painting? It was a lot of hard work, but it was married to someone else!

Of course, Tang Rui is triumphant at the moment, what is the use of you being able to find the calligraphy and paintings of scholars hundreds of years ago? Master, I directly invited the modern aristocracy to be a guest, who could be better than me?

Duanmu Ci seemed to see through Tang Rui's thoughts on the side, lowered his head and hooked the corners of his mouth unnoticedly......
