Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

In Chongming County, when Hu Zhenhua heard that Wu Lie was going to hold a light industry expo, he was overjoyed!

In the modern sense, the exposition model was born in 1851, and the landmark event was the "Great Exhibition" held in the capital of the United States on May 1851, 5.

But before that, there were also activities similar to expositions, such as the art fairs (called "Salons") held regularly in Romantic countries in the 17th century, which can be regarded as the early prototypes of the exposition model.

The expo model is equivalent to WeChat in the industrial field of this era. It forms a link, connecting the demand side on one end and the supplier on the other end, matching the needs of both parties.

Anyone familiar with the Internet knows that whoever controls the traffic controls the code to wealth!

And the expo can attract huge traffic.

TA Group is equivalent to a huge supplier and has a huge demand for expanding customer channels.

Hu Zhenhua decided to help Wu Lie!

Lao Hu is an honest man. He will not intercept this time and block Wu Lie and Smith's financial path!

But next time? Hehe.

As soon as Wu Lie visited the first factory, he received a notice that the company would provide one million protective suits for everyone to purchase at the Light Industry Expo.

In addition, Hu Zhenhua required all subsidiaries to participate in the exhibition.

On October 10, Hu Zhenhua arrived in Bao'an County and spread the word that his company would build a large exhibition hall.

Hu Zhenhua's car drove steadily into the Evian Hill villa area.

This villa complex is only one kilometer away from the Taiyi Zhenhai Taoist Temple. It is surrounded by mountains and water, and the owners living there are either rich or noble.

One of the gimmicks of the villa area is that one can obtain the blessing and protection of the Taoist temple, so the price is expensive!

Hu Zhenhua's Lixiang Garden is located on the hillside of Evian Mountain, with a prime location overlooking the beach. Its main building is not yet completed, but its exterior will be painted silver to complement the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Lixiang Garden almost covers the entire area above the hillside of Evian Mountain, covering an area of ​​more than 50 acres, with many century-old lychee trees growing in it!

After getting off the car, Hu Zhenhua went straight to Jinxiu Palace.

The so-called Jinxiu Palace is a group of bunkers built by hollowing out Evian Mountain, which stores all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that Lao Hu has looted and collected.

Upon meeting Lao Hu, Wang Cuicui excitedly put down her Qing Dynasty copper-based painted enamel vase inlaid with glass and featuring an ice plum pattern. Because the melting points of glass and enamel are similar, the firing technique is difficult to master, and production has always been small. Both the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors treasured this vase, ordering each piece to be beautifully packaged and preserved for their collection, rarely giving it to anyone else.

The one that Wang Cuicui obtained is a treasure among treasures, coming from a poor family of the Qing Dynasty's imperial clan.

Wang Cuicui held his wife's arm, her eyes narrowed into a pair of crescents, and she said sweetly,

"Sir, look how many good things I have received!"

She pulled Lao Hu to show him her collection as if it were a treasure.

Not long after, An Lan came back. Hu Zhenhua could hear her shouting from a distance.

"Cui Cui, look how many goodies I got this time! It's worth all my hard work!"

When he saw Hu Zhenhua, he quickly put away his carefree look and became dignified and elegant. The transformation was smooth and silky, with almost no trace of stiffness. She hugged Lao Hu's left arm and said with a smile,

"Zhenhua, are you tired? I'll make you some soup later!"

Hu Zhenhua was still immersed in the joy of having a family, but when he suddenly heard the word "making soup", he was frightened!

Every family has its own problems. Who doesn’t have black ash at the bottom of their pot?

What bothered Hu Zhenhua the most was An Lan's extravagance! When she first arrived in Hong Kong, she entertained guests almost every day. Today she had a jewelry party, tomorrow she had a cheongsam party, and the day after tomorrow she had a perfume party...

When rich ladies gather together, there is bound to be no good news. They compete with each other and show off their wealth!

In one month, An Lan spent more than 300 million yuan on jewelry.

You can't say anything to her, or you'll get into a fight. She was already throwing a tantrum before we even got in, and now that she's in, she's even more confident!

There’s nothing wrong with buying jewelry, at least it can maintain its value. An Lan’s other bad habit is eating!

She loves eating donkey hide gelatin! That's nothing special, but the key is that the gelatin she eats must be from a 5-year-old black male donkey in Dong'e County, and only a small piece of it must be taken from a specific location on the donkey's back skin.

It usually takes several donkeys to make a piece of top-quality donkey-hide gelatin.

That’s not all. The boiled donkey-hide gelatin must be stored in an environment below 25 degrees for five years. It is considered qualified only if there is no fishy smell or mold spots when it is opened!

A piece of donkey-hide gelatin like this is more luxurious than the stir-fried pork eaten by General Nian!

In order to be able to eat this top-grade donkey-hide gelatin for a long time, An Lan hired more than a dozen people to go to Dong'e County to help her keep an eye on the donkeys raised by the local people. It was heard that there was a town in Dong'e County that raised donkeys specifically to sell to An Lan. This prodigal old woman only wanted the donkey skin, not the meat. The local people liked this kind of people who were stupid and had a lot of money!

This item alone costs millions of dollars every year.

Hu Zhenhua had no choice but to set up a company to sell high-end donkey hide gelatin. But it was too expensive, and it was impossible to recoup the investment.

No matter how expensive something is, it is not a waste as long as you eat it.

What Hu Zhenhua can't tolerate the most is waste!

Every meal of An Lan must have about 20 dishes, and she only eats one or two bites of each dish!

Hu Zhenhua often wondered if this woman was the reincarnation of Empress Dowager Cixi. Otherwise, how could she be so extravagant? She had over 30 cooks in her home alone.

Old Hu had no choice but to open a big restaurant at the foot of the mountain to accommodate those chefs!

Lao Hu is a frugal person. Sometimes in order to avoid waste, he has to eat as much as he can and often cannot sleep in the middle of the night because he is too full.

This is also one of the reasons why he is not often at home, for fear that he will die of overeating one day.

The soup that An Lan just mentioned is definitely not as simple as killing an old hen and stewing it. At the very least, you have to put a ginseng that is several decades old in it!

I, Old Hu, was born in a poor family and cannot afford those high-end goods!

Seeing that Hu Zhenhua didn't say anything, An Lan rubbed his arm with her towering breasts and said coquettishly,

"Zhenhua, are you okay?"

Old Hu laughed and said,

"I won't drink the soup. I have to go visit Taiyi later!"

When An Lan heard this, he smiled and said,

"I'll go with you to fulfill the vow!"

"Return a vow? What vow? Aren't you a Buddhist?"

"Taiyi Immortal said that Buddha is also a form of Taoism! As for fulfilling a vow, that's nothing. The Immortal wants me to spend more. This will boost the economy, benefit the people, and invisibly accumulate blessings, so that I will have many children and live longer in the future!"

"what!"

Hu Zhenhua jumped up and cast his gaze at Taiyi Zhenhai Taoist Temple across the mountain wall, his eyes full of murderous intent!

At this moment, Taoist Taiyi was dozing off. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, making him shiver.

The old Taoist priest was awakened and looked around vigilantly. Seeing that everything was normal, he turned over and continued to doze off. Before his eyelids closed, he muttered softly,

"Could it be that that bastard Changxu is back?"

Not long after, snoring sounds were heard from the recliner!

Hu Zhenhua was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. It turned out that An Lan's extravagance was actually due to Niu Bizi's contribution!

Not avenging a grudge is not a gentleman!

You idiot, you dare to steal from my house. This time I will make you pay!

Hu Zhenhua turned his head, forced a smile, and said,

"I just had a feeling. Taiyi made an appointment. You guys wait for me at home!"

An Lan wanted to follow, but Hu Zhenhua stopped her with kind words...
