Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

A month later, Luo Xiazhi and his party secretly returned to Shanghai.

The inspection trip to Shunde strengthened Liang Shaolong's determination to invest in the south. In addition to the spinning mill, he even planned to purchase a rubber plantation in Luzon Island.Now that there is a shortage of rubber in the country, this deal can be described as a huge profit.

After assigning homework to Li Ye, Luo Xiazhi didn't bother him anymore, but only ordered him to hand over the report to himself before leaving.

Similarly, he himself is doing "homework".

The insurance company and real estate company in Modern Department Store gave him great inspiration, and he also considered the feasibility of developing these two businesses under Shimai or Roche.

Because Roche Commercial Bank itself is involved in domestic and foreign shipping and freight business, when the concept of "insurance" was not known to most Chinese people, it invested a lot of insurance for business security needs.Now the largest insurance companies in Shanghai are all established by foreigners, such as the United States and Asia, the United States Hailong Insurance, and the Swiss Lianning Insurance, which are established on the Bund Financial Street.

The various businesses of Roche Trading Co. and Shimai Department Store are underwritten by Meiya. In addition to the basic marine insurance, fire insurance, and automobile insurance, there are also various businesses such as ship insurance, train insurance, and postal parcel insurance. Industry is almost the same.

An important reason why the Shimai Department Store lost little in the fire this time was that it had spent a lot of money on insurance before, and the amount of claims made by Meiya was more than half of the reconstruction funds.

Because they are planning to start a tourism business this year, the amount of insurance invested is more-so why don't they open their own insurance company?

In fact, in Shanghai, besides insurance companies set up by foreigners, there are also many insurance companies set up by Chinese businessmen, but because of their lack of financial strength, they cannot be compared with foreign counterparts in the competition, and the people and businesses do not trust them.Fortunately, micro-insurance can be said, and large-amount material insurance does not dare to be entrusted to Huashang Insurance Company.

But will Roche be short of money?Funding is not a problem for Roche at all!

In addition to commercial firms, foreign firms, department stores, and tourism in the open, Roche now also has huge assets in garment factories, yarn factories, and soda factories.After Luo Xiazhi went back to preside over the opening of the radio station, even the media industry had mastered the two channels of magazines and radio stations.

Since there is no shortage of money, why not open your own insurance company?

After the insurance company is established, they can use the insurance funds to further increase investment in various industries, and even develop banking, real estate, and even the automobile industry.

Thinking of the bright prospect of money making money and compound interest, Luo Xiazhi became excited.

So for the rest of the time in Hong Kong, the two masters and servants conducted their own inspections and made reports.

When he came back from Shunde, Liang Shaolong, who was tanned and shiny, couldn't help but reflect when he saw the two of them sitting behind the desk and writing hard. He just visited a rubber plantation and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is this move too risky?

The train from Guangzhou slowly headed for Shanghai. During this time in Hong Kong, these people have gained a lot.Most importantly, Xiaoxiao's school has also been contacted.

It is already the beginning of May in the Gregorian calendar, and Xiaoxiao will graduate from the Church Girls High School in just over a month.After Li Ye inspected several girls' high schools in Hong Kong and the high schools attached to the university, he selected a list of several schools that recognized the grades of junior high schools in Shanghai and could directly enter the school.

After making a selection, Luo Xiazhi sent a telegram to Luo Yunze.Contrary to Luo Xiazhi's expectations, Luo Yunze did not choose those noble girls' high schools under the names of those British, but chose a missionary school far away in the mountains that was as simple as a women's convent, and then asked him to help Xiaoxiao sign up.

After hearing the news that Luo Wanyi still tried to collude with her classmates in the past half month and was put into confinement, Luo Xiazhi also understood his elder brother's good intentions.

So when filling out the application form for admission, Luo Xiazhi directly chose "No" when faced with the option of "whether a servant will accompany you to the school".

Maybe his elder brother is right, Xiaoxiao just lives too comfortably, and needs to suffer a little to realize how difficult it is to make money.

In addition to inspecting Xiaoxiao's school, Li Ye basically traveled all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong during this month.

Unfamiliar with the place and the language, he has chosen a few intersections with a little traffic, and then launched the most stupid way - every day he holds an umbrella and brings a pot of tea, A large pot of soybeans, sit in a teahouse by the intersection, or simply sit on the curb, and throw a bean into the empty pot when you see a passing pedestrian to calculate the flow of people from morning to night.rain or shine.

In addition to the flow of people, he also inspected the commercial equipment, firefighting equipment, and even the quality of the flow of people near these streets. After recording all of them, he compiled a report and submitted it to Luo Xiazhi.

Looking at the names of several areas he carefully selected, Luo Xiazhi really admired him - Nathan Road and Mody Road in the Kowloon area, Sheung Wan and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island, which were indeed the areas where merchants gathered later Super prosperous location.To be able to make such a judgment in such a short period of time, this kid really put in a lot of effort.

The most interesting thing is that Li Ye also took time to take a boat trip to Macau, and added to the feasibility survey information: Hong Kong and Macau have high-quality deep-water ports, and the development of ocean shipping industry can be considered.If it does not involve moral condemnation, the feasibility of the gaming industry can also be considered.

Luo Xiazhi who watched was amazed, and secretly sighed that he had really dug up a "treasure boy".

But at this moment, this "treasure boy" who was just in his early 20s got into a fight with Liang Shaolong for some reason.

Li Zhaoye tactfully hid back in his box, and Luo Xiazhi couldn't bear the childish behavior of these two people, so he simply drove them out of the box, allowing them to kick them around.

"You idiot with a head full of yellow crap!"

The two went all the way from the box car to the dining car car, and stopped angrily when they saw the conductor pushing the dining car and casting a surprised look at them.

Even if he stopped, Li Ye was trembling with anger.

This Liang Shaolong actually quietly asked him if he had "seduced" Luo Sanye by cooking raw rice during this month while he was away.Fortunately, after returning to Shanghai, I can compete with Principal Gu.He was so angry that he didn't care about the presence of the third master, so he punched him at that time.

Who is Mr. Luo?That was his god, his salvation, the merciful moonlight, he felt that he was blaspheming even looking directly at him, how dare he hold such dirty thoughts towards him?

What's more, Principal Gu is his own principal. Without Principal Gu's permission, it is impossible for him to transfer from Chongming Island to Nanyang Boys' High School.The principal also waived his book and miscellaneous fees, and agreed to work-study during his study.When he applied for the university, he even wrote a recommendation letter for him, so that a poor boy like him with no background at all could enter the school of Soochow University.

They are all very good to themselves, and they are all benefactors in this life. It is a wonderful thing for such a noble third master to be with such a noble principal Gu. How could he, how dare he intervene Between these two?

"You like Xiao Xia so much, do you really have no 'unreasonable thoughts' about him?"

Touching the cracked corner of his mouth, Liang Shaolong rarely used an idiom correctly - non-fen, yes, this is not "non-fen", what could it be?

"Don't say I didn't warn you, that cousin of mine, your principal—is a madman."

Seeing Li Ye's resentful expression, Liang Shaolong sneered, "Only our family knows how stubborn this guy is. Even if he is crazy, the king of heaven and I don't even recognize him. He can ignore his future and reputation."

That year, Gu Hanlin was an intern in a hospital and met a woman with dystocia who was sent to the countryside of Songjiang for medical treatment.After seeing that the doctors and midwives were men, the mother's husband went crazy. Regardless of his wife's bleeding, he insisted on asking the hospital to find a female obstetrician for them.

In those days, there were very few women who could graduate from medical school. Gu Hanlin managed to convince him that the doctor didn't care about gender, let him put his wife's life as the most important thing, and hurry up with the cesarean section operation agreement.The man refused to write even if he died, saying that from ancient times to the present, he only heard that Su Daji cut open the belly of pregnant women, and that the foreigners' hospitals were indeed full of sorcery, and they would take the pregnant women away if they said anything.

The final result was that after a two-hour tug-of-war, the mother died in the corridor of the operating room.One dead body, two lives, death is not to rest in peace.

The husband who went crazy started to roll around again, wanting to make their hospital lose money, which attracted countless people to watch, and even alarmed reporters to come to interview.

And his cousin, after enduring two hours of unreasonable troubles, actually picked up a scalpel and stabbed the husband in front of everyone.

A total of seven cuts were made, and the knife saw blood, but completely avoided the main organs and vital points of the body.Blood flowed all over the place, but no one was seriously injured.People can't help but wonder whether he is crazy or calm behind this move.

At that time, the teacher who took him to intern was the director of Renji Hospital, and also a close friend of Mr. Gu. He never expected that the son of this friend would make such a crazy move.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gu Hanlin, who was only in his 20s, was taken away by the police station and sent to a detention center for investigation. At the same time, he completely ended his ten-year medical career.

But in this dark age, money can turn ghosts around, not to mention Mr. Gu's status in the Xinglin world.After paying a large amount of compensation to the husband of the woman who gave birth, Gu Hanlin was released. Let alone the newspapers, the inside of Renji Hospital was completely sealed, and no one was allowed to discuss any news that day.

After this incident, everyone knew what kind of character this youngest son of the Gu family, who was always polite, was like.As a result, Gu Hanlin completely gave up on medicine, disregarding the opposition of his family, and switched to education.

In the first few years of studying at Beijing Normal University, Gu Hanlin did not ask his family for a penny. He also contributed articles to newspapers and magazines, translated foreign books and documents for others, and returned all the indemnity paid to him by his family at that time. Cleared up.

Liang Shaolong once made a special trip to Peiping to see him. His cousin, who could be considered half a young master, spent the winter in a ruined temple backyard that was so cold that it was almost freezing.

The winter in Beiping was no better than the winter in Shanghai. His cousin was in a room without a heater, draped in a quilt, sitting on a kang with the fire turned off, writing manuscripts for others.

Blue-red chilblains appeared on the originally slender fingers that were used to holding the silver scalpel. Liang Shaolong, who was only in his teens at the time, burst into tears.At that time, I dragged him to the best hotel in Beijing to stay overnight. Before leaving, I ignored his refusal and left all the cash I had with him.

In his memory, this was the most serious time that his cousin went "crazy".

So after that, I got a boyfriend, and after the boyfriend cheated on me, he came to the door and beat someone to the hospital. It's not worth mentioning at all...

"I like the young master. It's my own business. It has nothing to do with him."

How did Li Ye know that Liang Shaolong was worried about his life, he only thought that he was mocking himself for being overwhelmed, "a toad wants to eat swan meat".

"So the third master doesn't need to know, and he won't know. Principal Gu doesn't need to know."

He said decisively, Liang Shaolong raised his head and looked back at him in surprise when he heard that - those slender eyes seemed to have a flame burning deep in the glacier.

His passion, his love, will only burn in the dark, and he doesn't need anyone to know.

"But...you are only 20 years old. You are like this..."

Liang Shaolong was shocked, he couldn't believe it no matter what, a little guy who was still a "child" in his eyes could restrain his emotions so much.

what was he doing in his 20s

Oh, in order to fight with other dancers of "Paramount", he entered the classroom and continued to fight in the classroom... At that time, he felt that he liked that pretty girl so much, and offended his own because of her. I don't care about it.

Looking back now, he doesn't even know the girl's name. He only remembered that the "dance ticket" of Paramount at that time was three yuan a piece, and one ticket could invite the most popular dancer to dance for a while. dance.It costs 100 yuan to open a bottle of foreign wine.At that time, he could spend three to five hundred every night for that girl—at that time, he really felt that he loved that girl so much, the kind that he could take her back to see his father.

As for that unknown girl, it is estimated that children can go to the alley to make soy sauce now...

"Liang Shaolong, a person like you cannot understand the feelings of a person like me."

Li Ye looked at his expression, smiled ironically, and walked past him with his head down, "I'm going to fetch water for the third master, please step aside."

His love, what qualifications does this person have to say...

The corridor of the train was narrow, when Li Ye brushed past him, Liang Shaolong's shoulder was bumped moderately.

He touched his shoulder, watched the young boy's thin back disappear into the tea room, then lowered his eyelids, and walked into the bathroom of the dining car.

Facing the mirror, Liang Shaolong raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror, raking the messy hair with his hands.

In my 30s, I have reached the best age for a man.The person in the mirror was tall and handsome. When he smiled, even he himself thought he was the most beautiful man in the world.Although his background is not very good, and the book has been read to the stomach of a dog, but in Shanghai, how many guys at his age have a successful career?

Except for Rorschach's kind of business pervert...

"I'm not good..."

Putting his hands on the tabletop of the sink, he asked desolately.

----------------

As the train pulled into Shanghai Railway Station, Gu Hanlin was waiting for them on the platform early on.

Because they went to Hong Kong secretly, neither the Luo family nor the Li family sent a driver to pick them up. After exchanging pleasantries, they each called a taxi and left.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going back to my little villa with me?"

Gu Hanlin was stuffing Luo Xiazhi's suitcase into the trunk of the taxi when he turned his head and saw Liang Shaolong stopped the rickshaw to leave.

"Why do I go to your place, can't I be a 'light bulb'?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Ye meaningfully, and the latter quietly looked away, telling the taxi driver where he was going with a calm expression.

"Then where are you going? Plum Garden?"

Liang Shaolong also continued his father's habit. After the plum blossoms withered, he didn't stay in the plum garden for a long time, but stayed in several big hotels in Shanghai according to his mood.

"Go to Paramount first..."

By the way, let's find out how that girl is doing now...

This was also an idea he had just now, Liang Shaolong himself didn't know what kind of madness he had.

But as soon as he said this, he saw the expressions of disapproval from the three people in front of him.Especially that Li Ye, the contempt in his eyes almost overflowed.

"What time is it, the dance hall is not open..."

Gu Hanlin shook his head.

"Ah……"

Liang Shaolong laughed at himself.

That's right, in their eyes, maybe they are such a "prodigal son".

That's right, "Game of Life" is his hobby.

What an infatuated, unfeeling, sentimental, affectionate thing has something to do with him!

He thought so, then waved his hand, and walked away in a cool and unrestrained way.

"Xiaoye, follow up."

Luo Xiazhi turned his head and said.

"what?"

Li Ye didn't come to the third master first to order himself so, he was surprised for a moment and forgot how to answer.

"I have your principal here, so you don't have to worry about me. I won't be returning to the Luo Mansion until early tomorrow morning, and you can pick me up when the time comes."

Luo Xiazhi patted him on the shoulder, "Go, I feel something is wrong with Liang Shaolong, you go and look at him for me."

"Yeah, your third master has me, you go and look at Liang Shaolong. It's rare for this guy to listen to anyone, and you are the only one."

Gu Hanlin said with a smile.

Luo Xiazhi put Li Ye by Liang Shaolong's side for so many years, and it was Liang Shaolong who took care of the child for him. On the other hand, the stable and reliable Li Ye was like a pair of reins, taking good care of this wild horse that would run loose from time to time.He knew his cousin, Li Ye was one of the few people who could make him obedient and deflated him over the years.

"it is good……"

Li Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, then quickly walked to a rickshaw and told him to catch up with the one in front.

The third master... really wants to live a "two-person world" with Principal Gu.

Although I knew this was an inevitable result, and I had made a plan to endure it silently for the rest of my life, why, my heart was still so painful...

Sitting on the rickshaw, Li Ye firmly bit his pale lower lip.

The author has something to say: In the past, if you invited a dancer to dance in a Shanghai ballroom, you needed to buy a dance ticket.Miss Wu is paid according to the dance ticket and the dance hall.One dance one ticket.The generous Xiao Kai always came to chase Miss Wu with dance tickets one by one.The price of wine and tea is calculated separately.

At that time, the most famous Paramount Ballroom in Shanghai installed a "spring floor".It is said that after Paramount’s taipan arrived in Taipei, he despised Taipei’s biggest “Night Paris” as luxurious as a Paramount toilet, hahaha
