Chapter 223 Trade Fair

The sky is blue and the sun is shining. On a square on the west side of the Huangpu River, a temporary wooden booth was erected, and the goods gathered from all over the country were dazzling and beautiful. Although the exhibition booth is simple, it can play a role in sheltering from the rain. Merchants from all over the world who came to the exhibition and merchants who demanded it gathered, especially the foreign faces were particularly eye-catching. This time, the international commodity fair held in Shanghai, the foreigners did not bring any exhibits, all the exhibits were produced by domestic manufacturers, and the foreigners came to join in the excitement in order to find business opportunities.

Ge Yunfei disguised himself as a merchant and his wife Wenqing appeared in the crowd, Chen Shouting originally wanted to accompany him but was stopped by Ge Yunfei, because his powerful face on the beach was in Shanghai, and there were too many people who were familiar with him, and it was easy to recognize.

On this day, the mayor of Shanghai delivered an enthusiastic speech at the opening ceremony, which was very brief, followed by the ribbon cutting and firecrackers. After the deafening sound of firecrackers, the crowd that had long been impatient swarmed in. For the first international exhibition in Shanghai, domestic exhibitors must have at least the qualifications and can only participate in the exhibition after the registration has been reviewed. However, there is a preferential condition that all innovative products can be exhibited.

Ge Yunfei seems to be "blind" to this exhibition and does not feel the novelty, but his wife Wenqing is not. Every time I pass by a counter, I am full of interest, and as long as I see it, I will buy it. Soon, a large bag appeared in the arms of the four guards. "Yunfei, the people who come to the exhibition and sell are all famous brands from all over the world, and you don't have anything to like." "I'll go to the wine exhibition area for a while, I'll buy a few bottles of famous wine, and I'm not interested in anything else." Coming to the liquor exhibition area, Ge Yunfei went straight to the Moutai booth. A young man saw that Ge Yunfei had an extraordinary bearing, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Guest officer, this time we have brought 50 years of cellaring from Moutai Distillery, look at the fire paint and seals on this jar, such as a fake package and a fake accompany ten." "How many pounds does this jar hold?" "Back to the guest officer, a jar of wine is three catties, and the price is 200 silver dollars." "Bring me 10 jars and deliver them to this address!" The young man was a little stunned when he heard this, and the middle-aged man behind him reacted quickly and shouted loudly: "This guest officer wants 10 jars of 50-year-old cellared Moutai liquor, and it will be packed and delivered immediately!" Wen Qing took out the silver ticket to settle the account, and watched 10 jars of Moutai wine carry it out.

At this time, a merchant said to Ge Yunfei: "This guest officer, 3 catties of 50-year-old cellared Moutai liquor sells for 30 silver dollars in Guizhou, and you have been fooled." "I naturally know the local price of Moutai in Guizhou, but let me tell you, after this exhibition, Moutai will be in short supply. 50-year-old Moutai liquor, such as these 3 catties, I am afraid that 200 silver dollars will not be able to buy it in the future. There is a saying that scarcity is expensive, and the demand for Moutai will increase exponentially. Let me tell you a piece of news, Moutai has been listed as one of the state banquet wines by the national government. ”

Everyone didn't seem to believe it when they heard this, and then Chen Shouting said on the other side: "This guest officer is right, the boss will bring me 20 altars." Ge Yunfei looked at Chen Shouting and smiled slightly, the advertising effect had already played a role, and he pulled Wen Qing away. To promote the brand-name national liquor, Ge Yunfei is duty-bound.

After a while, the Moutai counter was overcrowded, and it was not lively. Walking to the clothing exhibition area, Yang Yuhuan's Niuzi series booth is the largest, and the Niuzi series is unique. "I didn't expect Sister Yuhuan to launch a men's cow costume, which really surprised me." At this time, the men's cow booth was very lively, and many young people were eager to try on and buy. On the contrary, the women's booth was relatively deserted. ”

"I'm going to say hello to Sister Yuhuan!" "Wen Qing, can we still leave when Yuhuan sees you? Still don't bother her. "Can't we wait here for a while?" "The exhibition area is too big, so we don't want to waste time here." Passing by the cheongsam exhibition area, Wen Qing bought more than a dozen cheongsams of various colors in one go, and was finally satisfied.

At dusk, the husband and wife returned to Chen Shouting's mansion. One day was extremely tired, Ge Yunfei and his wife went to bed early and didn't say anything all night. The next day, Wen Qing and Mrs. Chen continued to go shopping at the fair, while Ge Yunfei stayed at home at Chen Shouting.

The two sat in the living room and tasted tea, Chen Shouting said: "I didn't expect that there are so many good things in China, I saw Yuhuan, she said that yesterday morning, there were 4 merchants from the United States who asked to sign a contract, and sell a series of cow clothing in the United States, Yuhuan has a unique vision and does have a talent for business." "In fact, denim clothing in the United States is a symbol of the shepherd's toughness, bravery, and unruliness, but the United States has not formed a series of products. When a wide variety of Chinese cattle clothing appeared in American stores, I wonder how Americans feel. "What kind of sensibility do Americans have, they are doing business."

Chen Shouting continued: "The Niuzi series launched by Yuhuan is very popular with young people, and in my judgment, it will definitely become an instant hit." "At present, Yuhuan's clothing company has appeared research institute, and she is very determined to promote Chinese clothing to the world, and women's energy must not be underestimated."

At this time, a subordinate came in to report that Du Yuesheng was coming. "Brother Ge, I told him that you were here, Yuesheng has always wanted to see you, even if he gives me a face." "Let him in!" "Subordinates meet the chief!" As soon as they met, Du Yuesheng knelt on one leg and hugged his fists in salute. Ge Yunfei stepped forward and grabbed Du Yuesheng's hand and said enthusiastically: "There is no need to be formal, it can be said that time flies, and the last time I didn't blink an eye for more than ten years." I read you right, you're outstanding. ”

"The kindness of the chief minister cannot be repaid, and in the future, wherever the chief points to Yuesheng, he will rush to wherever he is, and there is no ambiguity!" "Yuesheng, our goal has been achieved, and the country has embarked on the road to prosperity. The war is over, but the war without gunpowder has just begun, and in the future we will start a business war with foreigners, and I hope you will do a better job. "Please rest assured that your subordinates will never live up to your high expectations and dare not slack off for a moment." "Shanghai New City is well planned, and you have contributed a lot!" "Chief, my subordinates don't dare to be greedy, they all do what you order."

"The point is that you've been able to grasp my intentions so thoroughly and make a difference, which is especially valuable. I want to know what you have in mind for China Merchants Bank! "I'm going to expand my banking business and set up branches in various places." "I'm in favor of expanding the business, but not domestically. One day, if you open a branch in New York, that's what you can do, and in the future, your financial business will be in the foreign financial field. "Please rest assured that his subordinates will definitely open a bank in New York and will never let you down." "Where there's a will, there's a way, and I believe in you."

"The subordinates prepare a table of banquets, please appreciate the chief." "I received your heart, this time I came to Shanghai for a private visit to Weifu, please understand!" "Yuesheng, the identity of the chief should not be made public, just drink here at noon!" "I'll bring the ordered meal, can I?" Ge Yunfei smiled and nodded. Being able to sit with Ge Yunfei and have a good time drinking is a dream for Du Yuesheng. Everyone in Shanghai knew that Du Yuesheng relied on Dahua Group, and no one thought that he had a close relationship with Ge Yunfei. Du Yuesheng was tight-lipped and never showed off, which Ge Yunfei appreciated very much.

That night, a stranger came to Chen Shouting's mansion. This person was the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, and about an hour later, the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Station left, and a document appeared in Ge Yunfei's hand. The situation reported by the intelligence station manager made it difficult for Ge Yunfei to deal with it. The intelligence station commander reported: Liao Hui, the commander of the Shanghai garrison, was domineering and had a bad record. But this person is very shrewd, there is nothing big or evil, just small problems. This person protects calves, and his subordinates' military discipline is corrupt, but he secretly flattened it.

Ge Yunfei felt that the reason why it was difficult was that Liao Hui was once Duan Qirui's subordinate and was highly valued by Duan Qirui, otherwise he would not have served as the commander of the Shanghai garrison. There is no reason to remove the commander of the Shanghai garrison, at least where Duan Qirui can't explain, Ge Yunfei thought about it, and then opened the file to check it, trying to find out Liao Hui's weaknesses. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find a breakthrough, and I couldn't help frowning. At this time, Mrs. Wen Qing walked away in recent years, and saw her husband sitting there in a daze and asked, "What is it that upsets you?" "Madam, suppose there is a high-ranking official, this person is not greedy, has no great evil but has a bad record, how to find out this person's weaknesses, I can't figure it out for a while!"

Wen Qing smiled: "This person is not greedy, he must be lustful!" "Madame is right, this person has 5 aunts, I know what to do." A few days later, Ge Yunfei came to the Guangming Theater with his wife Wenqing. Recently, Liao Hui has frequented the Guangming Theater, and it is said that he is praising a new newcomer. Liao Hui packed the box in the middle of the second floor, and Ge Yunfei and his wife had to go to the box on the right to give in. Liao Hui rarely shows off his power in public and is low-key, but recently he has taken a fancy to the newly rising Qiu Hong girl of Shanghai Yue Opera and often comes to cheer.

When Qiuhong sang on stage, Liao Hui sent flower baskets three times, and Ge Yunfei confirmed that Liao Hui was interested in Qiuhong. Then arrange agents from the intelligence station to focus on Liao Hui. Sure enough, Liao Hui tried to forcibly include Qiuhong in the sixth aunt. The facts are conclusive, Ge Yunfei dismissed Liao Hui from his official position in the name of bad morals and customs, and purged his subordinates on a large scale, and at the same time informed Duan Qirui of Liao Hui's bad deeds and the results of the treatment. After dealing with Duan Qirui's subordinates, Ge Yunfei had to return to the capital to "regain his life", and he was not in the mood to travel again.

At the beginning of May, Ge Yunfei and his wife Wenqing returned to the capital by transport plane.
