Three days later, at the Shanghai International Exhibition Center, colorful banners fluttered at the entrance, drums and gongs sounded, and a large number of security forces were on high alert, with several nearby roads temporarily controlled.
The establishment conference of the China Electronics Technology Industry Alliance received strong support from the local government. After all, even a fool could see that this alliance, once formed, would bring massive employment opportunities and technological development to the country. It was a project that was bound to receive full support from society and the government.
A high-ranking official even personally attended the conference to deliver the opening speech, signaling the government's emphasis on the event. Therefore, this conference was of exceptionally high caliber.
Huang He himself had not expected this. He had initially intended to gather industry peers for a meeting. However, the state recognized its importance and actively stepped in to support Huang He, making him deeply grateful and elevating the conference's prestige. No one dared to underestimate this meeting.
Official shuttle buses transported the owners of domestic electronic companies attending the conference to the entrance tunnel, where a large number of reporters were present to capture the scene.
"Huh? Did this conference also issue unified uniforms?" a reporter asked curiously, observing the prominent businessmen attending the event, many of whom were dressed in identical clothing.
"I don't know, but these clothes look quite nice!" another reporter commented.
"Nonsense, of course they look good. Can't you tell these are the Hanfu outfits that previously graced the fashion week in France, where three princesses were invited as models?" a reporter with flowing long hair said with disdain.
"So this is Hanfu! Now that you mention it, it does look exactly like the photos!" the initial reporter exclaimed.
"Then won't these outfits be devalued? I heard that in Europe, they are now pricing a set of Hanfu at 80,000 Euros, and even then, they are unavailable. Now everyone is getting one, isn't Jiangnan Group afraid of ruining the entire market!" a media reporter with a keen interest in the fashion industry interjected.
"You don't understand. This set is completely different from the one at Paris Fashion Week. Firstly, the color schemes are entirely distinct. The Paris Fashion Week version was blue, while the current one is primarily black."
"Furthermore, there are at least 30 design differences in the details of the clothing, so these are already two completely different outfits. The difficulty in directly impacting the sales of the Hanfu from Paris Fashion Week is quite high!" the long-haired reporter stated confidently, clearly the true expert.
"It seems Jiangnan Group has very ambitious plans!" the long-haired reporter continued.
"What do you mean?" the surrounding reporters quickly inquired.
"So, even though the styles of these two outfits are completely different, they are both Hanfu. Even if they were cheaper, the market price would likely not be below 1,000 yuan. Yet, Jiangnan Group is distributing them one per person. Even if the cost isn't high, it will definitely affect the market price of Hanfu!"
"But Jiangnan Group has done it anyway. This indicates that they want to use this conference to promote Hanfu and even elevate it to the status of formal wear, like suits, to cultivate its market. If they succeed, Jiangnan Group will effectively control the entire suit market. Do you think Jiangnan Group's ambitions are small!" The long-haired reporter's gaze was remarkably sharp, accurately discerning Huang He's intentions.
"Holy crap!" The surrounding reporters suddenly realized, goosebumps rising. This Huang He truly lived up to his reputation as the greatest entrepreneur in China after the 21st century. His vision and methods were simply too..."
"You noticed it too?" Liu Qiangdong's lips curled into a slightly triumphant smile. "I arrived five minutes before you and also noticed that Huang He sometimes shakes hands with one hand and sometimes with both. It's very peculiar, so I secretly stood aside to observe, and guess what I discovered?"
"What?"
"Huang He has a rule for shaking hands, and the rule is very simple: anyone who wears his Hanfu to the conference, he shakes hands with both hands. Anyone wearing a suit or other attire, he shakes hands with one hand!" Liu Qiangdong said with a chuckle.
As he finished speaking, the other two looked down and saw that they were both wearing Hanfu.
Chen Yongming couldn't help but stand up and glance at Duan Yongping in the front row. He confirmed again that this boss was wearing an Armani suit. As for the Hanfu distributed yesterday, Chen Yongming remembered that Duan Yongping didn't care for it at all and had casually thrown it into the trash.
