Plane Merchant's Dream of a Powerful Country

The main plane is Yanhuang Continent, Beijing.

Yanhuang Club, established in 1996, is located at No. 51, Xidan Rongxian Hutong, Xicheng District (the location itself is the old residence of the prince of the Qing Dynasty). It is a top private club in Yanhuang.Its annual resident membership fee is as high as 15000 US dollars. It is known as the top ten private clubs in Yanhuang China along with Chang'an Club, Capital Club, Beijing American Club, Yongfu Club, and Hong Kong Jockey Club.

These ten top clubs, the people who go in and out every day are either rich or expensive, and they belong to the top of the pyramid among the 13 billion people in Yanhuang.However, although they are all top-level clubs, they each have their own emphasis: the Changan Club prefers world business celebrities such as Li Ka-shing, Fok Yingdong, and Yang Yuanqing; the Capital Club focuses on business elites, people from emerging industries, and embassy staff; the American Club prefers representatives of Fortune 500 companies , corporate executives, returnees, and Yanhuang Club members are mainly members of foreign royal families, entrepreneurs, artists, etc.

Since the location of the Yanhuang Society is the old residence of the prince of the Qing Dynasty, the courtyard itself is a key cultural relic protection unit of the Yanhuang Society, so it is full of the essence of Yanhuang traditional architecture and culture. Here, many members of the Yanhuang Society often say: "The Yanhuang Society's Everything is antique, only people are new."

On the way to Yanhuanghui, Wang Fan heard from Mu Yunting that her best friend Tang Ping was quite rebellious in the early days. She refused to listen to the marriage arrangements of her family and made a private decision with an artist for life. It was really vigorous for two or three years, but this artist, After my best friend arranged to go abroad for further study, I never returned. Later, I heard that I even changed my nationality and became an honorary citizen of a certain developed country.After this blow, Tang Ping fell ill and almost collapsed.Later, after careful care and recuperation by her mother, she finally recovered.

However, because of her past experience, she is well known in the big and small families in the capital, and it has been difficult to enter the candidate list of fiancee of other family heirs. In addition, she has a younger brother who can inherit the family business, so it was a blessing in disguise, and she was able to Continue to freely choose your favorite person.After a long period of time, Tang Ping chose a middle-aged successful man in the business world who was 10 years older than her. It can be said that she went from one extreme to the other.This time after Tang Ping and her husband Tan Furen returned from traveling abroad, they contacted Mu Yunting and set the meeting place at Yanhuanghui.

After the four of them met, Wang Fan glanced at Tan Furen, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and Tang Ping, whose hair was dyed red all the way down to the roots, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.According to his first impression, this Tang Ping can be described as fashionable and full of personality.It is really difficult to meet Mu Yunting's aesthetic clothes.Will they be girlfriends?It stands to reason that girlfriends should have quite a common language and values.But looking at the two people with completely different styles of clothing, Wang Fan couldn't help wondering whether it was Tang Ping's ex-boyfriend who led her astray?Or was Mu Yunting originally a rebellious girl, but now she has returned to the normal "quadrant"?

"Tingting, long time no see. This is my husband, Fu Ren, you have met. Is this your man?" Tang Ping looked at Wang Fan. Although she had already guessed his identity, she still asked, especially the last sentence, Wang Fan of "Thunder" is not light.

"What nonsense! His name is Wang Fan, he's my boyfriend, and it's still too early to become a regular!"

"Hello, Ms. Mu, hello, Mr. Wang Fan." Tan Furen interjected just right at this time, moving away from what he just said.

"Mr. Tan Furen, you are being polite. If you don't see him, please call him by his first name, okay? This is more casual." Wang Fan suggested while answering.

"of course can!"

After a few minutes.

As the four of them chatted and became familiar with each other, Yanhuanghui's special private dishes also began to be served one by one.The amount of each dish is not large, but each dish is exquisite and delicious.

"Hi everyone, I am Huang Yuan, the sommelier of Yanhuanghui. Since the season is late autumn and early winter, today I recommend French hique to you." A handsome young man in business attire said, With his right hand half-bent, he walked over holding a bottle of wine written in French.

"Metic?" Wang Fan repeated in a low voice at this time.

"Yes, Metique is the flagship product of the European Standard Group. It is one of the most outstanding vin_de_pay_s red wines in France. It belongs to the traditional languedoc-roussillon type and is blended with various varieties; the raw material grapes come from the best conditions. The very old vines in the vineyard can therefore express amazing depth and concentration. Its aging process uses French allier oak barrels, one-third of which are new barrels; after 12 months of aging in barrels, then It will be on the market after at least 6 months of aging in the bottle." Huang Yuan thought that Wang Fan was asking and testing his professional knowledge, and explained.

"Hehe, thank you, thank you! You have given me a lot of knowledge. I'm sorry, I don't know much about red wine. I only watched "Lafite" and "Lafite" every time I ate expensive western food on TV. Yes." Wang Fan explained.

"You are welcome, explaining and introducing the red wine we use to customers is also one of the jobs of our sommeliers. Like 'Lafite' is indeed well-known in the world. In the list of famous wines in France in 1855, the first winery is There is Lafite, and the rest are Latour, Margaux, King Hou Bo, King Wudang, etc." Huang Yuan said while pouring wine for the four.

Seeing the other three people on the table, they raised the goblet gracefully, slowly approaching their lips, and then let the red liquid slowly flow to their lips, and tasted it instead of gulping it down.Wang Fan also learned to take a sip in a decent manner.Well, well, as you said, it's neither sweet nor spicy, but a sour taste.

"How is it?" Tang Ping asked Tan Furen.

"The taste is very positive!" Tan Furen commented.

"Wang Fan, what do you think?" Mu Yunting also asked.

"To be honest, I can't taste red wine. I guess you give me red wine blended with 'three sugars and one water', and I taste the same when I drink it." Wang Fan shook his head and replied with a smile.

"It's a waste for you to drink this wine." Mu Yunting frowned.

"Hey, it's not like you don't know my details." Wang Fan said without hesitation. He is not a member of the upper class. Lao Mao, Lao Zhu and others from different backgrounds discuss and make decisions, and they are used to it.Of course, to put it nicely, this can be described as 'not forgetting the origin'.

"Tingting, the person you are looking for this time is very interesting." Tang Ping laughed.

"Wang Fan, don't get me wrong, what Tang Ping means is that you are very real and sincere." Tan Furen, who has rich social experience and knows many friends, many paths, and many enemies, many walls, then explained.Although Wang Fan was not very good from the beginning, since he could become Mu Yunting's boyfriend, Tan Furen, who knew Mu Yunting's family background well, felt that the other party could not be just an ordinary person.

"Yes, I didn't mean to laugh at you." Tang Ping, who was originally a best friend and used to talk about everything, was not low in EQ, and continued: "I just think of Fang Shengpu who chased Tingting desperately in the past. He is knowledgeable, well-mannered, and well-educated, but we already know the real details. He is essentially a playboy who likes to go to nightclubs. The contrast between Wang Fan and him is too great."

"Can I understand that this is a compliment to me?" Wang Fan didn't have much emotional fluctuations. He carried out the spread on the main plane, the great cause and charity of saving people's livelihood, and wiped out thousands of people on the first plane. The enemy army of the unit, and he who personally eliminated the life of giant insects on the second target plane, has already separated from showing off, showing off his wealth, and showing off, so at this time it is more of a calm.However, not caring doesn't mean you have to be angry. If someone's behavior insults him, his family or friends, Wang Fan doesn't mind using the power behind him, or the strength in his hands, to make them shut up and admit their mistakes.

"Okay, let's not mention this, he really doesn't understand. And don't talk about him, my father also doesn't understand." Perhaps it is a woman's natural defense of her own front, Mu Yunting still subconsciously points out in the words "Mu Huairen doesn't understand red wine, so he can still be the commander-in-chief of the navy", and then continued to ask: "Tang Ping, what's the matter with you going to the Stars and Stripes this time? I remember you just went there to play last month. "

"Zhang Boju?" Wang Fan answered suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yunting asked.

"Ah? It's nothing, it's just that I'm more interested in him." Hearing Mu Yunting's question, Wang Fan quickly explained that he couldn't say that more than a month ago, because of his interest in the four princes of the Republic of China, he deliberately I went to find Zhang Boju and had a meal together.

"Wang Fan, you're interested in him too? Great!" Hearing that Tan Furen, who was like-minded and steady, couldn't help being a little excited, and immediately asked, "Then what do you like about him? , talent and learning? Or the anecdotes and anecdotes about his collection of celebrity paintings?"

"Well~~" Wang Fan recalled the details of that meal for a while, and replied: "There are some of them, but more of his life, opportunities and attitudes. I know Zhang Boju from the four major It started with the young master. Zhang Boju is a handsome man who came from a family of warlords, but he hates guns, loves antique calligraphy and paintings, and is especially fond of drama."

"Yes, he often spends a lot of money for his obsession with calligraphy and painting!" Tan Furen continued.

"Actually, Mr. Tan, if it is just said that he is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and spends a lot of money, I'm afraid it is still open to discussion."

"Oh? Why?"

"I once read a personal diary historical material." Since he could not say what Zhang Boju said with his own ears, Wang Fan had no choice but to continue to raise the banner: "Zhang Boju bought Lu Ji's "Hand Futie" from Pu Xinshe. At that time, Pu Xinshe asked for Wan Dayang, and in the end he moved out all 4 Dayang from his home before he managed to get it; in order to buy Zhan Ziqian's "You Chun Tu" from the owner of Yuchishanfang, he took a suspected house in Gongxian Hutong. Li Lianying's former residence was sold, and his wife was asked to make a pair of gold jewelry to make up for the 240 taels of gold requested by the other party; there are also "Sticks on the Balcony" written by Li Bai, "Picture of Prostitutes of Shu Officials" by Tang Yin, and Fan Zhongyan's "Tao Fu Zan" and so on, are all sold by themselves to buy."

"Then he should be doing it for his own interest, and it can be regarded as gaining something." Mu Yunting, who didn't know much about Zhang Boju, interjected.

"Yes and no." Tan Furen continued: "I remember that not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he donated all these valuable and well-known calligraphy, paintings and characters to the country. In his later years, he once wrote a sentence, 'I want to collect it, but I don't have to give it to my life forever. , in order to exist, but to make it last forever in my land, and to pass on from generation to generation."

"That's right. In terms of literary literacy alone, his literary thinking, ingenuity, and spirituality are outstanding. However, from the perspective of creating value in social industrialization, the playboy Zhang Boju has made little achievements. But in terms of protecting national treasures and cultural heritage, he is considered a It's just that it's hard to find someone like him in the future." Wang Fan continued.

"Why is there no one like him?" Tang Ping asked very interested because of his connection with art.

"Because modern people, that is, us, most of the biggest life goals are nothing more than self-realization. The next thing is how to manage and sell yourself to achieve your goals. This includes precise calculations and effective operations. , careful precautions, reasonable strategies, profit seeking, and ruthlessness. Managing life in this way is aesthetic and perceptual, and most of them have to be discarded. And these are precisely the perceptual cornerstones of Yanhuang traditional poetry and other cultures. Without these, Or the environment disappears, and Yanhuang's own cultural inheritance will naturally appear some faults. From the perspective of productivity development, this may be the inevitable result of the ancient "slow" life entering the modern "fast" life."

Following Wang Fan's slightly philosophical words, the dining table was quiet for a few seconds. . .
