Chapter 66 The opening of the exposition

On April 20, 1909, the day of the official opening of the Zhenhua Commodity Fair, which had been prepared for nearly two months, the exposition held by Zhenhua was not only to display Zhenhua's own products, but also to invite many merchants to participate and plan their own product display area.

On the eve of the opening of the exhibition, Chen Xuan discovered that the businessmen of this era had a keen sense of smell, and a large number of merchants poured into Shanghai, including domestic, Nanyang, Japanese, and even major consulates, and organized their own businessmen in Shanghai to participate in this humble event.

In the end, Chen Xuan had to strictly enforce the access standards, but even so, the number of exhibition halls was still far from enough, and a large area of land was leveled overtime around the venue, and a lot of the green vegetation prepared before was eradicated, and many businesses could only place their products in the open air on the surrounding open space.

This time the safety hazard came, Zhenhua's own strength alone is impossible to prevent a drop of water, so Chen Xuan can only visit Shanghai Daotai and the green camp generals, after a lot of silver dollars are scattered, finally invite these Qiu Ba to protect the outer security of the fair, and Zhenhua's own escort team to protect the inner layer.

In the end, he found that it was not enough, Chen Xuan borrowed a lot of family members from Yu Qiaqing, and personally visited the underground emperor Huang Jinrong in Shanghai, and asked him to say hello to the Qing Gang, so that the people of the Qing Gang should not come here to make trouble, and then negotiated with Chen Qimei of the League for a long time, if the rebels of the League instigated an uprising at this time, then Chen Xuan was afraid that he wanted to die, so Chen Xuan still felt unsafe, and mobilized the members of the Baath Party to pay close attention to all parties and try to annihilate all kinds of hidden dangers.

In the early morning of the 20th, Zhang Jian, Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Baosan and other business tycoons who were invited all arrived, and even Shanghai Daotai also came, such a grand event, I believe it is also one of the achievements of this Manchu official, and finally decided to be held by the host Chen Xuan and Zhang Jian, Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Baosan, Shen Manyun, Shanghai Daotai and the British consul in Shanghai together for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, invited girls from various colleges and universities to wear cheongsams as the venue of the emcee, a group of girls wearing flowers and butterflies in the crowd, very eye-catching.

In this way, Zhenhua's trade fair has not yet begun to make a profit, more than 300,000 white flowers have been spent, and countless short-sighted businessmen are laughing at Chen Xuan's stupidity, and they have spent a lot of effort to build a platform to make profits for others, is there anything more stupid than this?

However, slowly, they found that Zhenhua's reputation seemed to be played out all of a sudden, even more than the vast majority of the merchants present, when it comes to Zhenhua, basically everyone knows about it, you know, although Chen Xuan's Zhenhua Group seems to be blooming everywhere, many industries are involved, but the scale is not large, full of calculations, Zhenhua's assets can never exceed 3 million silver dollars, at least half of the assets of the people present exceed Chen Xuan, as for the few businesses cut on the stage, Which one is not the one who has tens of millions, billions, or even hundreds of millions? If it wasn't for Zhenhua to take the lead, with his milky appearance, he was qualified to go there?

Anyway, I don't know, the face is properly earned, Shanghai Zhenhua is famous at home and abroad, plus the quality and service of Zhenhua in the early stage have also withstood the test, and Zhenhua has cooperated with several businesses have also made a lot of money, many businesses have begun to have the idea of cooperating with Zhenhua.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in the deafening sound of firecrackers, the opening ceremony of the expo began, under the auspices of Zhang Jingyun and Lu Xiaoyu, the group slowly walked on the temporary high platform, and the boiling sound began to be lowered.

In front of several sets of amplification equipment borrowed by Zhenhua, Zhang Jian, as always, reiterated the concept of industrial salvation, while Shanghai Daotai greatly preached the truth of loyalty and patriotism, and the British consul made a positive affirmation of this exhibition, praising this as another milestone for China to open its eyes to the world.

Chen Xuan is naturally not qualified to speak, after the opening ceremony, Chen Xuan began to lead this group of business and political tycoons to visit the various commodities on display in the venue, and the merchants in the exhibition hall also worked hard to introduce, Shanghai Daotai has no interest in these things, and after speaking, he returned to the Daotai Yamen, and he didn't know which room to go to hug his concubine.

Zhang Jian, Shen Manyun, Zhu Baosan and others are not young, after visiting a circle, Chen Xuan gave some encouragement and said goodbye, and when everyone left, Chen Xuan felt that he was very tired, and he stumbled a little when he walked, Zhao Xuechu found that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Chen Xuan to send him back.

"Brother Chu, you are still Chen Yiyang's brother, do you know how much Chen Yiyang has lost weight during this time, haven't you noticed that Chen Yiyang's face is much worse than before?"

"Maybe it's been too hard during this time, Yiyang has been grasping the work of the group with one hand, and it is all kinds of planning and banditry, and the holding of this expo has also consumed too much energy for Yiyang."

"Brother Chu, I heard that Chen Yiyang was because of the disappearance of Miss He, which hit him too hard, and he has not been able to come out so far, Lizhu said, until now, Chen Xuan's suppressed crying will still be heard at night, it is not okay to go on like this, I am afraid that Chen Yiyang's body will not be able to withstand it, otherwise he will not be tired at the expo at a young age!"

"Alas, what can be done, I don't know where Miss Tinghe went, we have tried our best, and we don't know what to do?"

Chen Xuan woke up from the sound of Zhao Xuechu and Yu Tingyi talking, and saw that it was completely dark, and Xu Ruohan, who Zhao Xuechu and Yu Tingyi hadn't seen for a long time, was also there, and saw that someone came to listen to the lotus courtyard without his consent, Chen Xuan couldn't help frowning, but it was not good to get angry.

"What, it's all here?"

"Brother, you're awake, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Zhao Xuechu replied first.

"What's so uncomfortable, isn't it just a little tired, come back and sleep, it seems that the last time you were sick, you were frightened, not so much."

Chen Xuan said with a relaxed smile.

"I'm just a little hungry."

"I'll do it, what do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, thank you Xu Damei!"

Xu Ruohan's face turned red, and he didn't care about Chen Xuan's ridicule and walked out, and Yu Tingyi also followed.

"Brother, Tinghe has been missing for so long, it's time to come out, no one can help you with this kind of thing, people can't always live in the past!"

Zhao Xuechu was silent for a while, and then spoke, Chen Xuan looked at the night outside the window, and a trace of sad struggle appeared on his face.

"Brother Xuechu, I know your kindness, can you give me some more time, just some?"

Zhao Xuechu couldn't stop feeling distressed, this brother who grew up with him and was like a relative, in his impression, he had never been so weak again, and the tone similar to pleading made Zhao Xuechu refuse to say anything more, in order to adjust the atmosphere, he began to say without words.

"If you want to say, you kid is also blessed, you see that Miss Xu, the descendant of Xu Guangqi, a big family in Songjiang, a proper gentry family, you have to have a background, you have to have an education, not to mention your appearance, I heard that you are uncomfortable, and you ran over without saying a word, and the dignified lady actually wants to cook for your kid, and I don't know where you have cultivated the blessing!"

"I don't like to listen to this big brother, don't you find that I Chen Xuan is handsome and extraordinary, there is a little girl who likes to be a new thing, I didn't blow it, if you go to Shanghai Beach to walk around like this, you have to hurry up and build me a big house, there are too many girls in the province to fit 。。。。。。"

Chen Xuan's words were interrupted by a cough, Chen Xuan and Zhao Xuechu found that Yu Tingyi had already walked in with the dishes, followed by Xu Ruohan, who was flushed, Xu Ruohan had a copper basin in his hand, but it was used for Chen Xuan to wash, and now he is neither advancing nor retreating.

"How can you two brothers arrange other girls' families like this, Ruohan, don't pay attention to them, what kind of ivory can the two of them spit out of their mouths?"

Yu Tingyi put down the dishes and pulled Xu Ruohan, who was in a dilemma, in.

"Didn't you go and do it, why did you come back so soon?"

Zhao Xuechu asked a little embarrassed, talking about others behind his back and being arrested, this seems, no, it is really not a gentleman's doing.

"This is still stained with Chen Yiyang's light, it's not that Chen Yiyang is bragging, there are really beautiful big girls who come to the door to deliver food, or two, I didn't dare to enter the house, so I brought it in, and I ran away, Chen Yiyang, are you charming?"

"Hehe, I'll just eat it!"

Chen Xuan smiled awkwardly, but this laughter made people feel uncomfortable to listen to.

"Virtue, you still gasped when you said you were fat, by the way, Chen Yiyang, you and your beautiful secretary are nothing, right?"

"What can you have, let me tell you Yu Tingyi, don't look for trouble, people don't care about reputation, I still want reputation, you can't spread it like this!"

"Yo! Do you care about the reputation of others。。。。。。 ”

Xu Ruohan laughed out loud.

"Tingyi, what he said is that others don't care about his reputation but also take care of his reputation, he is not so kind to care about other people's reputation!"

"Oops! You two are really like a family, and you talk like tongue twisters, oh, this bastard, I thought he was afraid of ruining Xia Yunru's reputation, there are such bad people, really! ”

Xu Ruohan couldn't help but smile and just resolved the embarrassment, and was thundered by Yu Tingyi's sentence 'You are really like a family', but they are the big girl of Huanghua, how can they stay here, put down the basin and ran out, leaving a few people looking at each other and looking at each other without saying a word.
