Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 442 Royal Banquet 1

   Getting rid of the reporters at the door, Yang Chen just stepped into the palace, and saw Alisha appearing from a corner with a smile.

   But after dealing with her father, Alyssa found an excuse to sneak out of the banquet hall.

  Yang Chen came to the banquet alone today, and there was no female companion by his side, so it was unreasonable.

   "How long have you been waiting here?"

  Alyssa naturally held Yang Chen and brushed the hair that was blown away by the wind, "It won't be long, just a while."

  There were no reporters in the palace, and the two of them didn't shy away, talking and laughing as they walked towards the banquet hall.

  When Yang Chen and Alisha stepped into the banquet hall, they instantly became the focus of the audience. Alisha's beauty and identity, no matter where she went, would attract the attention of many people.

   The wealthy and famous, there is also a statement

  Young handsome and rich, talented musicians from the East, both of them have a halo on their own, it is difficult not to attract attention.

   "Hey, old Peter, your little princess, this is the rhythm of being kidnapped."

   Peter von Siemens, who was chatting with a few old friends, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth when he saw his daughter walking into the hall with that Xiang Jiang Chen by the arm.

   Alyssa just followed him to greet some old friends and left. He originally thought that his daughter didn't like to hang out with these old men.

   Now it seems that as a father, his understanding of his daughter is still too one-sided.

Peter von Siemens waved his hand, ignoring the playful eyes of several friends around him, and said lightly: "Young people today can't control it if they want to, I have always been very open-minded, and Eliza likes it, let her go."

   A few people heard it, and there was no surprise. Everyone knew the character of this old friend of his own. He was afraid of melting in his mouth, and slapped it in the palm of his hand.

   As for Eliza, the little princess of the Siemens family, several people actually wanted to let their younger generation marry her back.

  It’s a pity that the Siemens family has stopped getting married as early as the previous generation.

   As for the reason, it is very simple. Siemens, which has spread all over Europe, no longer needs to rely on any political force to bless itself.

  Because the Siemens company controlled by the Siemens family is itself a political company.

  Since the first generation founder of the Siemens family established Siemens in 1847, Siemens has been developing in many fields related to 'electricity'.

   More than a century ago, the use of electric lights was a luxury. Since Edison invented the electric light bulb, electricity has been widely used by people.

  In the early 19th century, Siemens rose to prominence because of the success of incandescent lamps. Before the First World War, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and many other European and American countries, all filaments came from Siemens.

   After more than 100 years of development, the Siemens family has become a behemoth that affects the electrical development of European countries. It goes without saying what role electricity plays in the industry.

   Without electricity, industry cannot function.

  In the industrial age, industry is the standard by which a country is measured. It is most suitable for Siemens to take root in the electrical industry and take a path of symbiosis with politics.

  Since its establishment, Siemens has roamed between the German and British governments. Due to the establishment of good relations with the governments, Siemens' position in the electrical industry such as the postal service and the military has always been unbreakable.

  After the end of World War II, Western countries recovered their economies, and the demand for electricity reached its peak.

  Siemens family took advantage of the situation to set up a large number of branches abroad and involved countries, including Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Spain, Italy, South Africa, Japan, Brazil and Argentina, etc., and their business traversed Europe, America and Asia.

   Especially in public utilities, postal system bidding and nationalization industry, Siemens occupies a pivotal position in every country.

   With the relationship with the governments of various countries, the Siemens family's social status is not inferior to those of the so-called nobles in Europe.

Every move of the   Siemens family affects the economies of various countries, and the so-called nobles can only influence the political winds of their own countries at most.

   In contrast, the Siemens family has more things to do with the Siemens company in hand.

   In this case, the Siemens family does not need to rely on any marriage to enhance the influence of the family.

   Of course, there is no need for political marriage, which does not mean that Peter von Simon really does not interfere in his daughter's marriage at all.

   As early as when his daughter was in contact with Yang Chen, Peter von Siemens had already figured it out.

   A few months ago, Peter von Siemens also personally reminded his daughter that dating and marriage are two different things. If both parties just have good feelings for each other, then his father cannot stop his daughter from making friends.

   And Yang Chen and Eliza really only maintained a friendship outside, and did not go against his words, Peter von Siemens naturally didn't say much,

   Of course, the main reason why Peter von Siemens did not strongly object to his daughter's close relationship with Yang Chen was Yang Chen's identity background.

   For a long time, Siemens has always wanted to enter the ancient country in the East after the completion of the layout in Europe and the United States.

  Since 1872, Siemens provided the first pin-type telegraph to Inland, and the Siemens family has had business dealings with Inland.

   In 1899, Siemens also built the first tram in the inland capital.

   So, from the very beginning, the Siemens family was more or less connected to the outback.

   It is just the electrical industry, which is crucial in any country. It is impossible for Siemens to make a layout in the inland like it does in Europe and the United States.

   Nowadays, the cooperation between Siemens and the inland has been restricted in many ways. Under this circumstance, Peter von Siemens has been trying to find a way to make a breakthrough.

   As the inland opening becomes more and more clear, it is very important whether the Siemens family can drink the first mouthful of soup.

  The scale of one billion people in the inland, once excavated, the wealth brought will undoubtedly be huge.

  However, the sensitivity of that ancient country to foreign capital is also very troublesome.

   Since Yang Chen gradually showed his strength, Peter von Siemens became more and more interested in him.

   Yang Chen is a native of Xiangjiang. After the UK and the ancient country decide on the ownership of Xiangjiang, Yang Chen's identity will undergo a huge change.

   As long as the United Kingdom relaxes on the Hong Kong issue, then Yang Chen's relationship with the mainland will not be half his own, but a real one.

   The only difference is that this person has money or not.
