The salon was spearheaded and organized by Yan Baiqing, who was also Ji Fanzhen's business partner.
Yan Baiqing had an outgoing personality and handled affairs with practiced smoothness. He was generally in charge of external relations, and the initial fundraising for New Spring and Autumn was largely thanks to him. The two men had a clear division of labor and their partnership had been quite pleasant up to the present.
The venue had simply been arranged at Yan Baiqing's residence—luxurious, beautiful, and spacious. With a staff already in place, it was more than adequate to host several dozen people.
