Chapter 198
After a group of people went in, Wang Wenwu asked Sun Muen: "Who is that person? Such a big pomp? Your brother brought it in personally!"
Sun Muen said: "Didn't you hear what my brother called just now! Mayor Xiao, besides his surname Xiao, who else is the mayor in TJ City?"
Wang Wenwu was still curious and asked: "With the reputation of your family, there shouldn't be any need for your brother to do this, right?"
Sun Muen glanced at Yin Donggorobei and said: "What you are talking about is Lao Huangli, and now my family is also going downhill. Come in quickly! You can get to know everyone who comes now. I will treat you in the future
It will be helpful in Tianjin!”
"Then I won't disturb you two, I'll go in first!"
Sun Muen rolled his eyes at Wang Wenwu, while Yin Donggorobei looked grateful. It seems that Yin Donggorobei, a Japanese, is eager for Wang Wenwu to leave at this moment. Sun Muen's brother has just been sent to Xiao City
After entering, Wang Wenwu left again. The guests coming and going could only see Sun Muen and Yin Donggorobei greeting the guests at the door like a husband and wife.
However, Sun Muen himself asked Wang Wenwu to go in first. Wang Wenwu didn't want to stay here, so he said a few polite words to Yin Donggorobei and went in.
When I walked into the hall, I just felt that it was magnificent. Is this still the Sun Mansion that I had seen before? Wang Wenwu's poor vocabulary was not enough to describe what he saw now.
Maybe it’s because this is the Sun Mansion. Everyone wears well-fitting and gorgeous clothes. The acquaintances are extremely lively, and strangers are also extremely polite, exchanging business cards with each other.
Comparing the clothing and demeanor of the people here, the ragged people gathered outside the door because of the banquet at Sun Mansion all show the imbalance of this world. It is just like what was said in the previous book, the wine and meat of the Zhumen are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death.
While Wang Wenwu was sighing with emotion, a fat man wearing a silk coat and a pair of inverted triangular eyes made people feel naive in Sun's mansion.
He said to Wang Wenwu: "This gentleman looks very strange! I have never seen him in Tianjin. I wonder where he comes from? This is my business card. I am Yuan Keji, the manager of Sanming Company!"
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here..]
Wang Wenwu took the business card. It only said the manager Yuan Keji, the name of Sanming Company and the company address. Wang Wenwu also hurriedly handed over the business card he had prepared in advance.
Business cards with very modern names actually first appeared in feudal society. During the Warring States Period, China began to form a centralized state. With the use of advanced production tools such as iron, the economy also developed, thus driving cultural development. Confucianism and Confucianism represented by Confucius
Other schools formed a scene of a hundred schools of thought contending. Each country was committed to expanding its territory, supporting and spreading its own culture, and a large number of new nobles emerged during the war. In particular, Qin Shihuang unified China and began great reforms, unifying the national script and enfeoffing princes and kings.
Xianyang became the center of China, and princes and princes from all walks of life had to go to Beijing to report their duties at regular intervals. In order to get closer to the people in power in the court, it was inevitable for princes and princes to have frequent contacts, so the early days of business cards began to appear.
The name "ye". The so-called "ye" means that the visitor writes the name and other introduction words on bamboo or wood chips as a meeting introduction document to the person being visited, which is now the business card.
In the Han Dynasty, the centralized state further developed. With the expansion of territory in the early Han Dynasty, the use of "ye" became more and more common. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "ye" was renamed "thorn". Due to the paper invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it began to be widely used.
, so the "thorn" was changed from bamboo wood chips to paper that was more portable.
The term business card did not officially appear until the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was the end of China's feudal society. Due to the continuous invasion of the West, contacts with the outside world increased, and trade with foreign countries also accelerated the popularity of business cards. The business cards of the Qing Dynasty began to become smaller.
Development, especially in the officialdom, junior officials use larger business cards to show humility, and senior officials use smaller business cards to show status.
Therefore, the main difference between the business card in Wang Wenwu's hand and the business cards commonly seen in modern times is that it is written by hand instead of printed.
Wang Wenwu knew that his handwriting could not be used on the stage. Although he practiced a lot later, he did not make much progress. Therefore, Wang Wenwu's business cards were specially paid to have people write them.
Yuan Keji respectfully took Wang Wenwu's business card with both hands, and it directly read Wang Wenwu, Director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.
Yuan Keji didn't expect that the short man in front of him was actually a central official. Although he didn't know the extent of his power, he also knew that BJ's orders meant that he couldn't leave BJ City at all, so he didn't need to worry about it.
But seeing that this man is still young, he might become a minister in ten years. But no matter what, this man can't help me at all now. He has been licking blood from his knife for ten years.
You can’t even tell what the situation will be in two or three years. How can you manage things ten years from now?
So I just planned to be polite with Wang Wenwu and leave. Wang Wenwu was interested in this Sanming company.
Xiang Yuan Keji asked: "I wonder what businesses your company operates?"
Yuan Keji said politely: "Mainly doing aphrodisiac business! Our company also has several good opium dens in Tianjin. If Mr. Wang has time, he can go to our place with my business card.
We will definitely give you a preferential price.”
Wang Wenwu waved his hand and said: "I don't smoke."
After saying that, he took out a cigar from his arms and signaled to Yuan Keji. Then Wang Wenwu remembered that just now Yuan Keji called himself Chief Wang, but the new business card he wrote was all written by Qian Shi. Could it be that a previous business card had been mixed in?
Is it in the new business card?
So he politely said to Yuan Keji: "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, the business card in your hand may be my previous business card. It seems that it has not been processed properly."
After saying this, Wang Wenwu found the correct handwriting from his body and handed it to Yuan Keji. Yuan Keji took it and saw that Wang Wenwu, the original director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, became Wang Wenwu, the deputy director of the BJ Municipal Government.
The reputation of the chief minister of the BJ City Government is naturally not as good as that of the chief minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, but the words of the chief minister of the BJ City Government are much easier to use than the chief minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.
Naturally, it is impossible to enter Bj City with just one person in front of him, but in Yuan Keji's eyes, if he establishes a good relationship with Wang Qianshi, his introduction will naturally be indispensable.
Yuan Keji immediately changed his face at this time, greeted Wang Wenwu more enthusiastically than before, and introduced everyone present to Wang Wenwu.
After all, Yuan Keji is a native of Tianjin and is very familiar with the local characters in Tianjin. This is of great help to Wang Wenwu. After all, compared with making mistakes here by himself, having someone introduce him can always save a lot of time.
