The heated discussion caused by Gu Kun's speech lasted for a long time. After five minutes, it was not until Gu Kun left the betting platform and Zhu Youdong came up again that the crowd gradually returned to silence.
As a result, most people didn't hear the last five minutes of Gu Kun's speech clearly. Anyway, he basically talked about some arrangements for "celebrating with the whole world and having fun with the people". Not only did he provide subsidies for demolition and renovation of the city, but also involved
In other aspects, everyone will naturally know when Gu Ye implements it.
Thanksgiving speeches at wedding celebrations are not suitable for talking too much about business. Mentioning city upgrades and donating funds to build museums and new palaces is already the limit. This can barely be regarded as "pretending to show off wealth and affection". Any more will be philistine.
Already.
Zhu Youdong's return to power seems to be just a "temporary decision" in response to the people's voice and a response to Gu Kun's previous initiative.
Zhu Youdong said a few opening remarks, and then announced in public: "On behalf of the Lanfang royal family, I announce that I will accept Mr. Gu Kun's proposal to donate Zhaoming Palace to be used as a history museum in an orderly manner within one year, and promise to donate it within two years."
Open to the public. In the future, the museum will only charge symbolic tickets to cover part of the maintenance fee, which mainly serves to limit traffic. The museum will never be operated for profit."
Zhu Youdong's words immediately aroused even more enthusiastic cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
As for his suggestion of charging a nominal fee for admission, everyone thinks it is very reasonable. Although China has begun to offer free admission to some museums in recent years, calling on people to increase their learning and understand traditional culture and history, this does not include the most popular museums.
.
The purpose of charging a small amount of money is to prevent people with the mentality of "seeing nothing, not seeing" from sneaking in and reducing the utilization efficiency of public resources. Only after paying money will everyone visit seriously, otherwise they might just go in and borrow
The restrooms were crowded with socialites.
For example, if you charge a few dozen yuan, everyone knows that this price must be very reasonable, and it is not enough to reflect the exhibition value of the cultural relics displayed inside.
Everyone secretly felt that the princess's wedding seemed to be a major opportunity for the country to further expand infrastructure, stimulate the economy, and deepen reforms to benefit all people. Everyone was full of confidence in Gu Kun.
After the speech, it was finally the turn of today's other protagonist, the bride Zhu Youran, to appear.
Of course, the process of visiting the bride and consummation ceremony will not be carried out in front of the public, but as a princess and a public figure, you still have to appear in front of people during the wedding ceremony. You don't need to speak, just wave and you can leave.
Today, Zhu Youran is also dressed very grandly. The clothes are more gorgeous than before, but they are not traditional "Ming Dynasty etiquette", but modified as extravagantly as possible in pursuit of splendor.
In fact, those who have seen the officials unearthed from the Ming Tombs, or those who have seen the later "Ming Dynasty Clothes and Crowns" atlas, basically know that ancient clothes were not that gorgeous.
Later, the "Hanfu" style that became increasingly popular in the Internet era was actually not ancient clothing at all. It can only be said to be an improved version of costumes from costume dramas. Some of them deliberately pursued an elegant and fairy atmosphere. In fact, this was not how the ancients dressed.
Therefore, Zhu Youran's entire body, including the crown with nine feathers and four phoenixes, was completely in the Ming Dynasty style, and the rest were optimized so-called "Hanfu", and were specially made into very thin styles to cater to the hot climate in Southeast Asia.
However, even so, when the close-up of Zhu Youran wearing the Nine Fei and Four Phoenix Crown appeared on the big screen, the onlookers still exclaimed.
The princess doesn't appear in public very often, and has not left any photos in the public media in recent years. You can find older photos, but at that time she was still a child under the age of twelve or thirty at least. The so-called female
During the 18th National Revolution, photos taken five or six years ago are completely unrecognizable.
"It's really the style of a heavenly family. You are the princess after all. Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk, I thought it was only because of the noble blood that Master Gu was willing to marry. It turns out that he is both beautiful inside and outside." Many young girls and daughters-in-law in the crowd couldn't help sighing and feeling jealous.
The envy has also been extinguished a lot, she is indeed pretty enough.
Frankly speaking, Zhu Youran's appearance is not the most beautiful among the women Gu Kun has experienced so far. His two most beautiful hairy female secretaries are slightly better than Zhu Youran.
This is mainly because the selection methods are different. Gu Kun's hairy female secretaries are equivalent to being selected in a beauty pageant. They are eliminated by thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. But the other ones around Gu Kun depend on fate.
Girls who don't rely on beauty pageants to reach the top are slightly inferior to Zhu Youran, which is already rare.
What's more important is that Zhu Youran's temperament is obviously much more elegant and noble than Saranova and Anastasia, and this cannot be compensated by her appearance.
After only appearing in front of the crowd for a minute or two, Zhu Youran had the effect of making the people dare not look up. Then she gracefully withdrew, disappeared from the tower, and retreated into the harem to participate in the rest of the private ceremony.
…
"Congratulations to Mr. Gu on your great happiness."
"I hope that under Mr. Gu's leadership, we will have more opportunities to cooperate in depth with Lanzhou in the future."
Returning to Fanglin Garden in the Royal Garden, Gu Kun held Zhu Youran's arm and was quickly surrounded by countless guests to congratulate him.
It was said to be a "private ceremony", but in fact it was only a hundred times smaller than the square outside, and there were still hundreds of guests who could enter the palace.
From the old partners Gu Kun knew in China, mainly from COSCO, Jiaotong University and Huahai Oil, to the bosses and executives of Internet companies that Gu Kun had invested in, as well as those who have now resigned from the Blackstone Fund Asia Pacific
Liang Jinsong, who was in charge of the post and turned to politics, all came.
In addition, because Liang Jinsong has resigned, Blackstone Fund also has another higher-level representative, Blackstone CEO Schwarzman. A bunch of other people in the financial industry who have some business relationships with Gu Kun also come to celebrate together.
In addition to business partners, there is also a group of more dazzling congratulatory guests today, people from the luxury goods industry whom Gu Kun met in France and Italy.
For example, the Cartier Group, which makes jewelry, although its market value is not as good as Gucci, is still a large group with more than 5 billion US dollars. It was also controlled by Gu Kun at about the same time as Gucci.
Today, the CEOs and presidents of Cartier Jewelry were all present. They also presented several pieces of top-quality jewelry personally customized by Cartier's chief designer for Gu Kun and Zhu Youran to choose from.
Gu Kun and Zhu Youran each wore a large diamond ring of more than 20 carats, and next to the main diamond of more than 20 carats, there were two circles of arc-shaped shield-shaped gemstones of various colors, including rubies, sapphires, topaz, and black pearls.
The width of the entire ring is almost equivalent to the thickness of three fingers, and the length exceeds the length of one knuckle of Gu Kun's ring finger. As for Zhu Youran's hand, which is smaller and slender, if you don't tell others that this is a ring, at first glance
Even if you say that he has a shield studded with precious stones on his finger, some people will believe him.
This kind of ring is only worn during ceremonies. It must be very inconvenient at ordinary times. It must be removed or disassembled. But as the princess, you don't have to do housework, so you don't have to worry about this.
As for why there are relatively worthless varieties such as topaz and black pearls among the selected inlaid gemstones, it is definitely not to save money, but to be luxurious while taking into account etiquette as much as possible - in terms of value, even emeralds are
It is more valuable than topaz.
But Lanfang adopted the Ming etiquette. According to the Ming system, the twelve crowns of the emperor, the nine crowns of the prince, the nine-hui four-phoenix crowns of the concubines and princesses, the Yanju crown, and the inlaid gems are all in five colors: black, white, red, yellow and blue. Not only
For crowns and other accessories on the body, only five colors are chosen, and other colors are not allowed.
This is related to the theory of "cycle of five elements and five virtues" believed by Easterners since ancient times (for example, the black color of the black pearl represents the water virtue of the five elements, the topaz represents the earth virtue, and the red sapphire and white pearl correspond to the fire virtue, wood virtue, and golden virtue).
For those who don’t know, just take a look at the twelve crowns of Ming Shenzong excavated from the Ming Tombs. They are twelve crowns on the front and back, each with twelve gems. The twelve crowns start with white pearls and sapphires.
, after two rounds, there are two more ones at the end, so it is "three each of gold and wood, two each of water, fire and earth".
The difference between Gu Kun today is that he replaced the traditional white pearls, which were too valuable, with diamonds to replace the white "Jinde". Diamonds are white anyway. From Zhu Youran's Nine-Faired Four Phoenix Crown to necklaces, earrings, and
The rings of both of them were arranged according to this gem etiquette.
This incident also led to an episode, that is, during the previous design, Cartier's chief designer originally considered suggesting using pink diamonds that looked better, but Gu Kun scolded him back and asked him to
Take a good refresher course on Eastern culture and study the Five Elements and Five Virtues theory of Oriental imperial jewelry.
Is it possible to be a virtuous person who doesn’t care about the color pink? Can he go to heaven’s ceremony? He is indeed an uneducated barbarian!
Cartier's chief designer has been approved, and other brands such as Gucci and Armani, which provided luxury accessories for Gu Kun's wedding, of course have to make some changes or encourage them. Suddenly, even the elderly Giorgio Armani
The veteran designer had to look through relevant ancient documents and books before, and went to the capital on a business trip to visit some of the Ming Dynasty etiquette and dress systems. Then when customizing for Gu Kun, he tried his best to take into account both Chinese and Western styles.
The chief designers of the world's two major men's luxury goods brands and jewelry brands such as Cartier have to learn the etiquette of Eastern culture. There is no one else in the world except Gu Kun.
So at this moment, the clothes and aura of Gu Kun and Zhu Youran made all the Chinese guests feel bright and luxurious.
"I'm really proud of myself. I didn't expect that wearing such traditional clothes, which tend to have a lot of Chinese style, can be so grand and successfully achieve an international aesthetic. In terms of clothes and jewelry, Lanfang is indeed more respectable than us in the mainland. Our traditions have been lost too much.
." Many Internet tycoons and senior executives of COSCO Offshore Oil think so in their hearts.
I dare not say anything else. At least any Chinese who sees today's scene will definitely choose to come to Lanfang if they want to buy or customize expensive and high-end clothing and jewelry in the future. Can things from other places be called high-quality?
