Rebirth from 06 Chapter 742 What's going on?

December 24th, Christmas Eve,

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Yang was woken up by the alarm clock. He opened his eyes in a daze, and then lay still under the quilt in a daze.

Yesterday, I chatted with Mr. Wu from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, even during the meal. After returning home, I took the time to review my homework and read Hengli's year-end summary report.

I'm going to a meeting today, so I don't know anything about it.

The result is sleep deprivation.

Zou Rong went to bed later than him, but got up half an hour earlier than him. At this time, she was ready and bought breakfast by the way, waiting for him to wake up.

Then I saw a certain pig lying dead in the bed with its eyes wide open, and suddenly got angry and bumped into it, "Don't get up yet!"

Chen Yang hugged the little girl motionless, closed his eyes, and said with a sigh, "Today's Christmas Eve, I still want to take you to the Northeast to see the snow."

Zou Rong's eyes fluttered, and she was quite moved, and then used her strong willpower to dispel the temptation, and said with a straight face on purpose, "You haven't seen enough snow in Xijiang, you will be buried in snowdrifts by then,

Besides, what's so good about a foreigner's holiday? We haven't seen anyone celebrating Christmas Eve since we were young. It's not because they have been fired up by those businesses in the past few years.

Humph, just to make money! "

Then hold your head hard and recite the mantra at the same time, "Get up, get up, get up, get up..."

"stop!"

Chen Yang felt dizzy for a while, turned over and sat up quickly, first let go of the little girl, then pulled off the clothes that Zou Rong threw on the bed just now, and put them on.

At the same time, he smiled, "Hey, I have a question for you."

Seeing that her husband finally got up, Zou Rong's face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, and she said with a smile, "What's the problem?"

Chen Yang put on the sweater, threw the pajamas on the sofa next to him, and asked, "When did Christmas become popular in my country?"

"Huh? This question?"

Zou Rong rolled her eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "This is hard for me. People on the Internet have said that no one celebrates Christmas before. Only some universities with foreign students have this custom until after the new millennium. , it gradually became popular,

So, the answer is the late nineties, early 2000s, right? ! "

As he spoke, he shook his head confidently.

As a result, Chen Yang turned his head and smiled, "Wrong!"

"Huh? Wrong?"

Zou Rong was immediately unconvinced, "Then tell me, when is it?"

Chen Yang put on his trousers and put on his belt, and said as he walked out, "The answer is, ninety years ago!"

"what?"

Zou Rong was taken aback when he heard that, and asked after him, "Are you kidding me? At that time, people didn't even have food and clothing, and Christmas was still there?

Hey, you have to be strict with your words. What you are asking is when did Christmas first become popular, not when did Christmas come into being? There is a difference! "

"Of course there is a difference,"

Chen Yang walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at the Cantonese style breakfast on the table, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Old Qiao and Jingwen both went to the United States to protect Mr. Yu, and the rest, Old Shen, can't make breakfast. The quality of life has plummeted!"

Zou Rong walked up to him and sat down, brought him a bowl and said, "It's not that Lao Shen doesn't know how to make breakfast, it's the breakfast he made that you don't like, what can you do?"

Chen Yang brought a bowl of beef noodles in front of him, curled his lips and said, "As far as he can only cook porridge and noodles, he is not as good as me. He can only cook seafood, and he can't do anything else."

"It's good to eat if you have something to eat, and you can choose,"

Zou Rong put a bowl of tofu nao in front of him, and said, "Hey, don't change the subject, tell me quickly, why was it ninety years ago, how could it be ninety years ago?"

"This, I'm really not talking nonsense, but it's well-founded,"

Chen Yang sighed, and was about to speak, when he suddenly thought that the paper "Making Christmas" hadn't been published yet, right?

When was it published?

Forget it, this is not important, just don't mention this one,

Chen Yang swallowed what was in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Well, it starts from the 1920s,

Shanghai, as a city that was opened earlier in my country, has always been the frontier for the introduction of Western culture into my country. The most popular festival in European and American countries, Christmas, was brought in by foreign nationals who settled in Shanghai after the opening of the port, and thus pushed to Nationwide. "

Zou Rong wrinkled her nose and asked in puzzlement, "Impossible. It was not convenient to spread news at that time. It was just a foreigner's festival. What's there to promote?"

"Because there's a little misunderstanding here,"

Chen Yang said with a smile, "At the beginning, people were still in the observation stage of Christmas. They were just curious. Foreigners also celebrate the festival? And there are lights and festoons, similar to ours.

What holiday did they celebrate?

Many people are very curious, but at that time, there were not many foreigners, and secondly, foreigners knew Chinese, while few Chinese knew foreign languages. There was a lack of communication between the two sides.

So some people guessed it by themselves, and then spread rumors, calling Christmas a foreign winter solstice! "

Upon hearing this, Zou Rong couldn't help covering her eyes and laughing,

The winter solstice is a big festival. Both the north and the south have the habit of celebrating the winter solstice. In some places, there is even a saying that the winter solstice is a big festival.

If you compare New Year's Day to the Chinese New Year in foreign countries, then it's not wrong to compare Christmas to the Winter Solstice.

Is this a wrong move? !

Seeing that Zou Rong understood, Chen Yang laughed and said,

"You have also studied history, and you know what the society was like at that time. Anyway, you learn everything from abroad, so it is not unusual to learn about the winter solstice from a foreign country.

Therefore, since the 1920s, Christmas has become a carnival for some Western scholars and has spread throughout the country. "

"Ha ha,"

Zou Rong couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, took two sips of her preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and then said with a smile, "Anyway, those people have money, so they should be considered as contributing to economic development."

It's Christmas, it's not about shopping, this is her impression.

As a result, Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Then you are wrong again. Christmas at that time was not like it is now. It smelled of copper inside and out. They really came here as a holiday." .”

"yes?"

Zou Rong turned her head curiously and asked, "How did they live?"

"Well, let me think about it,"

Chen Yang picks up a bunch of rice noodles, remembers while eating, and when the rice noodles are eaten, he also thinks of something.

"This, we have to look at it from two perspectives. The first is the perspective of the festival. At that time, Christmas was celebrated mainly by shopping in department stores, dancing, and eating big dishes. At that time, universities with the conditions would also hold Christmas festivals. A public banquet, calling all the teachers and students of the school to have a carnival together,"

Upon hearing this, Zou Rong couldn't help curling her lips and said, "That's not buying, buying, buying."

"Well, it's different,"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "You can understand it as the state of the New Year when we were young more than ten years ago."

Hearing this, Zou Rong understood, nodded suddenly,

"anything else?"

"What's more, the progressive young people at that time took advantage of the opportunity of Christmas crowd gathering to promote new ideas, that is, they used this festival as a publicity platform,"

Speaking of this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Chen Yang's mind,

But this spiritual light is fleeting, but I can't catch it no matter what, what is it?

While thinking about what was his sudden inspiration, he said,

"At that time, many patriots took this opportunity to gather together to promote various revolutionary spirits,

Later, as more and more foreigners came to China, and the government at that time hoped to move closer to the West, and even held Christmas from an official perspective,

For example, at Christmas every year, various government departments will invite relevant foreign organizations to have a party together, which is equivalent to becoming another diplomatic venue.

If there is something good at the top, there must be nothing good at the bottom. If the upper class is like this, then the folks must be crazy to follow,

So, despite the poor economic conditions at that time, the atmosphere of Christmas is even worse than it is now. Even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the enthusiasm did not decrease at all.

It didn't stop suddenly until later, and it didn't recover slowly until it was changed. "

After saying this, Chen Yang still couldn't catch the aura just now,

Never mind, he shook his head, put the matter behind him, and then said, "On the contrary, Christmas after the millennium has changed more and more. The real celebration has disappeared, and only various discounts in big shopping malls,

I see, after a few more years, merchants will have tasted the sweetness of holiday promotions, and no matter what the festival is, they will find excuses to pass it off, with the purpose of emptying out a few cents from customers' pockets. "

Hearing this, Zou Rong couldn't help laughing, "It's not like that, how can there be so many festivals for them to do promotions."

"Hmph, don't believe me,"

Chen Yang glanced at her and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no festival, let's create a festival ourselves, if you don't believe me, just wait and see."

By the way, when did Ahri’s first Double Eleven come?

Chen Yang thought for a while, and found that he couldn't remember again.

But he is sure that it is definitely not 2008, because there is no Double Eleven this year!

Hey, do you want Jingdong to organize a June 18 event in advance to win Ahli's luck for Double Eleven? !

"Okay, I'll just wait and see."

Zou Rong didn't take Chen Yang's words seriously at all, just like the kind of jokes she made when she was in school.

After finishing the porridge in two or three mouthfuls, she ate a few more shrimp dumplings. After Chen Yang had a bowl of beef noodles, she was busy packing her things, and said at the same time, "Hurry up and pack your things, we'll be leaving soon."

"understood,"

Chen Yang stood up listlessly, staggered towards the study,

What did you think of just now?

…

At nine o'clock in the morning, Boss Chen appeared on time in the large meeting room of Hengli headquarters in Anjia Building.

The first thing I say after sitting down is,

"Comrades, as the largest real estate company in the country, the headquarters of the company actually rents in the office building of an intermediary company. Are you ashamed or sad?!"

Dai Shouliang, who was still sitting still, was speechless when he heard this.

Boss, boss, why did Hengli's headquarters rent in the Anjia Building? Don't you know why?

At that time, I requested that the building under my **** be named after Hengli, but what did you say?

This building is not worthy of Hengli, and Hengli will have a better headquarters building in the future!

Yes, there is a better headquarters building, but it hasn't been built yet!

Sighing silently, Dai Shouliang sat firmly in his seat, and said seriously, "Don't be ashamed, don't be sad!"

"Um?"

Boss Chen glanced over, what do you mean?

Talk to me?

Being watched by Boss Chen, Dai Shouliang was not false at all, and said solemnly, "We are learning from the group, from the board of directors headed by Chairman Chen,

Think about our Rainbow Group, which is already such a large multinational group company, but the headquarters building still rents a few unremarkable small offices in Xiangjiang,

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic, thrifty and self-denying!

We rainbow..."

"stop stop stop,"

Boss Chen felt dizzy when he heard that, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to look at Zou Rong, "The headquarters of Rainbow Group, or the offices you rented at the beginning?"

Zou Rong nodded, and said as a matter of course, "Yes, anyway, except for a few Rainbow Fund traders who are still staying there, and few people work, Mr. Shan has not changed offices."

Then he pointed to the Caihong Financial Building not far away, "Everyone knows that Xiangjiang headquarters is just a shell. The real headquarters office area is here, and the other is in New York, USA. Both places have their own headquarters. Building, so it doesn't matter."

Chen Yang smacked his lips, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "There is still something to say."

Then he turned his head to look at Dai Shouliang, "You can arrange it, whether you want to buy it directly, or use a piece of land to build it yourself, how can Rainbow Group also have a decent headquarters building~www.novelbuddy.com~ It's not that he likes to order it around The following people are mainly because Rainbow Group really doesn't have many office staff of its own, and in addition to finding someone to do things, it is necessary to find professionals, so it is natural for Hengli to do it.

Dai Shouliang nodded, "Understood."

After a pause, he continued, "So, how big is this image project? Is the kind from HSBC and Bank of China enough?"

Boss Chen glanced at him unhappily,

What is Image Engineering?

Even if it is, can't you not be so honest?

Curling his lips, Boss Chen thought for a while and said, "Has Xiangjiang been reclamation?"

"right,"

Dai Shouliang nodded and said, "Their place is small, and they are subject to such and such regulations, and are not allowed to engage in large-scale development at will, so when there is a large-scale land use demand, it is basically solved by reclamation."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, Xiangjiang's reclamation projects are generally within Victoria Harbour. This is a place where every inch of land is expensive. If we choose to acquire land here, it is also worthy of being the headquarters of Rainbow Group. .”

Chen Yang smiled disapprovingly, "The reason why Xiangjiang is Xiangjiang is because it is backed by the mainland. Otherwise, they are not much better than those places in Southeast Asia. There is nothing worthy of it."

He took a sip from his teacup, and then said, "Choose that place. You can make arrangements to set up a Hengli branch in Xiangjiang first. The Rainbow Group headquarters building project can be regarded as practice, but more importantly, it is to find out the situation in Xiangjiang. "

Hearing this, Dai Shouliang was taken aback for a moment, "Are you planning to enter the Xiangjiang real estate market?"+add to bookmark+
