Republic of China small businessman

After the Chinese New Year, Xie's family in Sichuan has been published in newspapers for more than a month.

The cooperation between Bai and Xie has begun to make progress. This time it is no longer a gossip about wearing clothes outside, but a serious statement in the newspaper.

The two jointly opened a shipping company. The ten new Jianghai giant ships on the river are quite eye-catching. Connect with the routes of other countries, open up faster and more convenient routes, and deliver farther and faster.In addition to the original cargo ship business, passenger ships were also added for people's livelihood. When the new ship sounded its whistle on the river, it was even published in the newspapers, causing a heated discussion.

Bai Xie and his family strike while the iron is hot. The newly opened passenger transportation company sells a lot of cabin tickets. These tickets are divided into three categories, with high, medium and low prices. They are all fair, and the service attitude is good. The ship is clean and hygienic, and the seats and The cabins were tidy and bright, and it was also the first passenger ship on the river that included meals, which became a new fashion at that time, and many people came to take the boat because of its reputation.

After it was roughly settled, Master Jiu left two people here to deal with the establishment of the factory, while he took Xie Jing back to the Shanghai stock market.

Xie Jing headed back to transport the salt, Xie Siquan couldn't stop it no matter how worried he was, after all, Xie Jing would take over this matter sooner or later, after thinking about it, he could only send a few more confidantes to follow, to help pave the way, Can take more care - count - point.

This time I was sailing on the river, and my mood was different from before.

Halfway through the boat trip, the scenery on both sides of the strait has changed a lot, and the cliffs have gradually slowed down and are no longer rugged.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Xie Jing went to Fuquanzhuang to hand over the salt goods. He is the young master. This time Xie Siquan let him do it. It also meant to let the senior managers get in touch with Xie Jing more. In the future, Xichuan business Xie Jing will have more contacts. Need to run in more - two.

Master Jiu prepared generous gifts and went to see He Dongting first.

He Dongting became much thinner, his eye sockets were a little sunken, and he was accompanied by a doctor. When Master Jiu came, he didn't shy away from it, politely asked him to wait beside him, and invited the guests to sit after the injection.

He Dongting said: "It's a bit shabby, don't take it for granted. I've been unwell for the past few days, and I haven't been able to sleep well. Only this room has large floor-to-ceiling windows and better sunlight, so I can sleep well."

When Bai Jiu asked about the illness, He Dongting only presumed that it was a relapse of the old disease, and didn't say much.

Bai Jiudao: "Last year at the wedding banquet in Xichuan, Jing'er asked about you, so I was very worried at that time, but my uncle said that it was not in the way and stopped me from visiting. If he knew this, he would have come here a long time ago."

He Dongting said with a smile: "I told Xie Siquan not to talk about it. I was a little seriously ill at the time, and I didn't know if I would get well. Fortunately, I survived the winter, and now I have improved a bit, and I can spend more time with Jinger. time."

Bai Jiu asked again: "How long have you been sick?"

He Dongting: "It's been a while."

Bai Jiu: "Have you thought of other ways?"

He Dongting shook his head, and said with a smile: "Old problems, it can be cured and cured, it's just a few words, I'm tired of hearing it." He sighed softly, looked around, his gaze was soft and warm, "In this Room, I live in peace of mind, I can always remember the past."

Bai Jiu looked up and saw some old items in this room, like items left by the hostess in the house before, and there was a woolen hat on the coat rack beside it, if it wasn't for the style and color, it would have turned gray and old , it looked as if the hostess had just gone out for tea and was about to come back.He slightly looked around and realized that this was something left by Xie Yuan before, maybe this room was specially left by He Dongting for his wife.

Seeing things and thinking about people, chatting for comfort.

The last time the Bai family traveled to Sichuan, He Dongting followed him all the way, and Master Jiu also had a chat with him. Although they didn't hit each other well, they appreciated each other.It's just that this time, Boss He was obviously not as energetic as last time. He was a little tired when he was talking, and his mind wandered a few times.

It wasn't until He Dongting heard that Xie Jing had come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange that he cheered up and said that he would wait.

He Dongting only glanced at the gift list brought by the Bai family, but didn't respond, only one of them caught his eyes.It was a remnant chess game, Bai Jiu came to find He Dongting and invited him to play.

Bai Jiu had a good grasp of Boss He's mentality, and just said "This is a situation that Jing'er failed to solve last night", and let He Dongting take a seat, willingly raising his hand.

He Dongting's chess skills are good, he seldom speaks when playing chess, and more is observing.

Observe the other party, and be careful about making moves.

He Dongting plays chess with three moves, he moves slowly but firmly, but he soon realizes that if he plays slowly, the opponent will also follow suit, and if he plays fast, the opponent will also speed up.He looked up at the young man sitting across from him, and asked, "Have you solved this chess game?"

Bai Jiu said calmly: "No, I just thought about it for half a day from last night to now, and I have a little understanding."

This was said casually, in normal times He Dongting would not have cared much about it, but now it is not pleasant to hear it.

He had thought about it in Xichuan City for a few days before, no matter what he thought, it was all because of his bad moves, so why didn't he lose in time?When he saw Xie Jing, he had already grown up, and the person who accompanied him to teach was also Bai Jiu, so he was no longer qualified to stand by and give any opinions.

He Dongting sighed, put down a chess piece casually, and said in a slow voice: "I can't break this chess game. Jing'er has played half of the game, and I can only follow his path."

After playing chess, He Dongting's attitude towards Bai Jiu also changed a bit, calling for some wine to drink with him.

Bai Jiu stopped him and said, "Come change some tea, Jing'er told you not to drink because of your poor health."

He Dongting felt relieved, nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Jing'er today, where did he go?"

"After going to Fuquanzhuang, uncle now wants to hand over the family affairs to Jing'er, and let him take over slowly." Bai Jiudai explained. "In addition, I have to accompany Mr. Huang for a trip. The professors who came to Peiping discovered a lot of ancient books last time. Mr. Huang wrote notes on his behalf. Among them is a volume of travel notes. Mr. specially drew a map of mountains, rivers and rivers, which needs to be sent for sorting. Book making, the bookstore must be a little busy, so I have to wait a while before coming over."

He Dongting made a sound, and after the tea and snacks were delivered, the two of them sat by the window, chatting while drinking tea.Probably because of a subtle change in mentality, Boss He has completely let go of the word "management" now, and he can only follow his son's thoughts. When sitting there talking to Bai Jiu, he also frequently asked about his family and Beijiu. matter of land.

Bai Jiugui sat across from him, asking questions and answering them.

On the other side, the bookstore.

Xie Jing was accompanying Mr. Huang Mingyou to deliver the manuscript. The people in the bookstore didn't pay much attention at first, but after Mr. Huang lost his temper, the editor-in-chief of the bookstore rushed down to receive him in person. The little clerk stood beside him, listening Saying the word "Huang Mingyou", his face instantly turned pale with fright.

Mr. Huang sorted out the morning books in the bookstore himself, delivered them to be printed, and came out after they were finished. It's just a two-day boat ride, and another half day's work, and this old waist hurts badly."

Xie Jing said: "Mr. is in a hurry, and it is cumbersome to annotate the text. You and Professor Zhang worked together to draw rivers and rivers. Others may not be able to produce these pictures after ten days and half a month. You should slow down."

Mr. Huang said with a smile: "No way, there are still so many students waiting, and the book must be finalized before spring."

Xie Jing was surprised: "For the students?"

Mr. Huang nodded and replied: "Yes, I discussed with those in Peiping, and they all agreed to print it out as soon as possible, not only this volume, but also a whole set later. I have seen it all these years traveling with caravans. There are many mountains and rivers, so this volume is responsible for this volume, and the rest of the volumes are all co-operated by professors from Peking University, from elementary school to high school, and the great mountains and rivers on the thousands of miles of China should be remembered by students."

Mr. Huang is old, with gray hair at the temples, and compared with when Xie Jing first saw him, he could see more wrinkles on his forehead.But Mr. Huang's pride remains the same. No matter how old he is, even if he walks with his hands behind his back, he still straightens his back.

Xie Jing watched him pacing slowly, humming a ditty as he walked downstairs, not only why he suddenly remembered the appearance of Mr. going up by boat.

The old man propped his hands on the railing of the boat, looked up at the green mountains and peaks going upstream, with pride in his eyes.

This pride comes from the mountains and rivers in his eyes, from the land under his feet, and from the thousands of volumes of books he has read and recited in his mind—that is the homeland in his heart, his country.
