Chapter 28 Preparations(1/2)
In early August, Zhao Shanhe was invited to the capital and answered questions with relevant departments.
A total of five questions were conducted, namely microelectronics, kinetic energy, machinery, computers, and biology.
There is one conversation every day, and the people who talk to Zhao Shanhe are different.
After five questions and answers, almost everyone was shocked by Zhao Shanhe's "genius".
However, these are destined to be able to spread in a small circle. Because all those who participated in the answering questions signed the confidentiality regulations.
Five days later, Zhao Shanhe returned to Xiangjiang, and everything seemed to be very calm.
After leaving the airport, I got on the No. 9 Rolls-Royce, which had become his special car, and drove directly to Baijia Road, Mid-mountain.
The entrance of Baijia Road is full of flowers and brocade, more than a hundred meters from the entrance to the villa entrance. Both sides of the Z-shaped mountain road are dotted with various blooming flowers.
When it comes to the villa gate, it is even more lively, and the arched gate is covered with flowers.
Hundreds of service staff are undergoing rehearsals to prepare for the relocation in two days.
Seeing Zhao Shanhe's car parked at the door, Mrs. Huo came over with a stack of lists. "Ahe, I'm back. Come and see if there are any other mistakes?"
Zhao Shanhe laughed and said, "My sister-in-law will definitely be satisfied, so I don't have to watch it."
Mrs. Huo smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is for you and for others, I won't be thankless. I haven't had a good sleep these days."
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "After the 11th day, I will ask Xiao Jianba to take you and your second sister-in-law to Paris for a few days, and I will cover all the expenses."
"Okay, that's what you said."
August 10th is a long time to move, and this time, Zhao Shanhe must hold a big show.
It has been more than two years since his rise to this day, but for a family, it is a very short accumulation period.
During this period, Zhao Shanhe's family had a simple population and had never held any banquets. The only thing was that the club opened and held a banquet, and the hospitality was all members.
If a family wants to be recognized, it is not recognized if they have money or career. In addition to the network of relationships, they must also actively assume corresponding social responsibilities.
And Zhao Shanhe didn't do enough of these.
The independent villa in Bai Jiadao is also the official residence that originally belonged to the head of the British Hong Kong authorities, but now it has fallen into the hands of Zhao Shanhe.
Whether it is for integration among the wealthy families in Hong Kong, expressing gratitude to the British Hong Kong authorities, or for socializing, Zhao Shanhe must hold a lively party to entertain people from all walks of life.
After a long period of preparation, a three-day celebration will be held on the Nine, Ten and Eleven for three consecutive days.
Zhao's mother and Xiao Zaba had no experience in organizing such an event, so this matter was left to Mr. Huo and his wife for help.
They welcome and send off every day and are particularly familiar with this matter.
Tomorrow is the Ninth, and what needs to be entertained tomorrow will be government officials. Whether it is the Hong Kong and British authorities or mainland officials, they will be invited together tomorrow.
At the same time, Zhao Shanhe would also invite more familiar heads of wealthy families to accompany him, and this banquet was also the most important.
The 10th day is the day of moving. Zhao Shanhe will invite members of various major families and business partners in Xiangjiang. This time, it is not only the heads of the sects, but their families will also come together. In fact, it is mainly a gathering of women.
On the 11th, they had moved in and belonged to the greenhouse. The invitation was young people and invited models, and they would hold a carnival.
Even though there are very few people who can respect Zhao Shanhe, since he lives in this era and in this environment, he must follow the local customs.
People who are out of date will not follow social morality and norms, and even if they are capable, they will be boycotted.
A total of chefs from three hotels were invited to hold the banquet, including Western food, Cantonese cuisine and snacks.
These three teams will be responsible for the three-day dietary requirements, and Zhao Shanhe only pays.
The etiquette team also arranged a special team. What surprised Zhao Shanhe was that Ah Hong from Beauty Advertising Company was also among them, responsible for the coordination between different teams.
The main building and podium of the villa are in the shape of a factory, and the auxiliary building forms a 8-shaped figure in the front yard.
Now, a small stage has been built at the gate of the main building. Ah Hong and Huo Ersao talked and laughed, and pointed at the middle of the venue, which was obviously valued.
This future big star, because of Zhao Shanhe's club business, is getting better and better now. I wonder if he will run for Miss Asia in the future.
Speaking of which, because she has a deep relationship with the mainland, her development did not go smoothly after entering the entertainment industry. Later, she took the initiative to participate in a graded film and became popular in one fell swoop.
In terms of appearance, she also conforms to Zhao Shanhe's aesthetics. She is just a love debt and dare not touch it casually.
If it is just a money transaction or an exchange of interests, Zhao Shanhe doesn't mind developing it, but if he talks about feelings, he will not have that idea.
When Zhao's mother heard that Zhao Shanhe had returned, she came out of the main building, and she was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.
"Ahe, the decoration here is so luxurious and rich, I dare not live in it."
"Mom, I am willing to spend money just because you live comfortably. Your current task is to eat, drink, have fun, and spend money happily. Have you seen two mahjong rooms on the first floor? In the future, you can make appointments for cards every day."
"I never dared to think about it before..." Zhao's mother was holding her in front of someone else, but was helped into the house by Zhao Shanhe, and sighed. "Is it okay to go to the mainland to discuss?"
"It's still going well. You may start to be busy in a few days. However, the company has almost recruited people. Now we are working with the Huo family and they support a lot of people. I'll just be responsible for the overall situation," he said.
"Yeah, you can't make enough money. No matter when, it's the most important thing to have a good body."
The so-called "living and relieving energy, nourishing and relieving the body" is very different now, and Zhao's mother has gradually become a little bit of a wealthy family.
In the hall, Huo Da was calling in front of a desk he had moved in specially. When he saw Zhao Shanhe enter the house, he waved to him.
Zhao Shanhe knew that he had something to say, so he chatted with Zhao's mother for a few words, and let her go to work on her own.
Huo Da finished the phone in a few words and said with some concern: "According to the weather forecast, it will be cloudy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but now it is summer and the climate changes a lot, so I'm afraid of temporary rain."
"Didn't you contact the army and arrange two artillery teams on the top of the mountain to use cloud bombs to minimize rainfall?"
"Driving cloud bullets is not omnipotent. My suggestion is: build a temporary shelter between the two hills. We happened to arrange four temporary water-cooled air conditioners outdoors, and even if the ceiling is sealed, it won't be hot."
"Then make this arrangement, try not to let the weather affect the banquet."
This time, Zhao Shanhe's housewarming banquet was arranged in the villa. The villa was large in size and could arrange thirty tables. It would be held for three consecutive days, which was enough to entertain guests from all walks of life.
In order to create a comfortable environment for guests, there are air conditioners inside the house and four central air conditioners are temporarily installed outside the house to ensure that the temperature of the entire villa is below 30 degrees.
"Dr. Zhao, this is the performance list tomorrow night. Do you see if you need to change it?"
"Sister, just call me Ahe. Call me Dong Zhao and meet me."
The elder sister held a piece of paper and smiled brightly, and joked: "You are getting more and more popular now, so I dare not get too close!"
Zhao Shanhe took over the program list. Because there was only half an hour of performance, the program was compressed to seven, and political factors were taken into account. Therefore, there were English songs, Cantonese songs, and Chinese songs, including a red song.
All the singers are big stars of the TVB, and they are all choruses and no solos.
"Yes, just arrange it like this. Pay a little attention to the program two days ago, and the last day is mainly happy."
"I understand that there is a taxi music program on the third day, and the best DJ in Hong Kong is also arranged."
Zhao Shanhe smiled and hugged her. "Please, my sister, I will invite everyone to gather together after the work is over these days."
She chuckled and pinched Zhao Shanhe's arm. "Then let's say it."
The big sister took the lead. Although the big stars sang, Zhao Shanhe didn't have to pay a penny for the appearance fee, and even those big stars were proud to be able to attend the Zhao family banquet.
In fact, Zhao Shanhe is unwilling to owe favors and is more willing to pay, but everyone is kind, so Zhao Shanhe can only bear this love first.
It is best to pay off the debts of favor as soon as possible.
When the eldest sister Pingting left, Huo Da said again: "Ahe, I want to ask you for a few invitations. Can I arrange it the day after tomorrow?"
"Of course, there are twenty empty seats reserved, but they are not the ones who sit on the crooked butt, are they?"
"Of course not, I don't know you."
Zhao Shanhe stuttered towards the stairs and was talking to Zhao's mother, and she immediately walked over. "Husband..."
"Help me get a few blank invitations... how many?"
Huo Da immediately took out a written note and handed it to Zhao Shanhe and said, "Three copies, six people. These are the names."
The invitation specially printed by Zhao Shanhe this time is not only unique in style, but also a concealed electronic card on the front, which cannot be imitated.
The banquets two days ago were all handed in one piece, and the seats were arranged according to the guests. No one except the attendees were allowed to enter.
These days, being able to obtain an invitation from the Zhao family has become a symbol of identity.
However, this time, Zhao Shanhe was inviting guests, and as long as there were any connections, almost all of them received an invitation from Zhao Shanhe.
Then people divided the guests into different levels. The guests on the first day had the highest status, and the guests on the second day had a little lower level. As for the guests on the third day, they were the worst.
In fact, Zhao Shanhe didn't think so much. The first day they invited were mainly officials, and it was only right for some big family leaders to accompany them.
The media likes to interpret, but Zhao Shanhe cannot explain it one by one.
After writing the invitation letter, Huo Daxin put it away with satisfaction, and his wife came to look for her again.
"Ahe, you purchased only 180 sets of Royal Dalton's bone porcelain tableware. These are not enough tomorrow, let alone the day after tomorrow. They suggest another batch of Hasaki, which is not much different in style."
"Yes. But you have to ensure that everyone in the restaurant can use Royal Dalton's tableware."
The first floor of the podium is a dance hall and the second floor is a restaurant. Ten tables can be placed, and one hundred and thirty people can be seated. The remaining twenty tables are placed in the courtyard to ensure that each table does not affect each other and has its own scenery.
"Don't worry, it's definitely a priority to ensure the supply in the restaurant. You are really willing to do so, and I specially ordered so many tableware for the banquet."
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "Our family is a nouveau riche. If we don't do something nouveau riche should do, we are sorry for the media definition."
The custom-made dish of Zhao Shanhe comes from Royal Dalton, a famous bone porcelain company in the UK. Each dish has the Zhao family's logo and unique patterns.
The bone porcelain of these companies is expensive, so this kind of special customization is even more expensive. A regular plate starts at HK$600, and the price is several thousand per person.
