The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "There are still some tricks? Then I have to try it."

He didn't even ask the two about the whereabouts of Aoki Nobujun, because there was no need.

John Watson and the others begged Zhao Chuanxin to leave their contact information and visit them another day.

The school where Gulizar studied was called Xuantian Women's Academy, at the foot of Taiping Mountain, where every inch of land is valuable. The principal was a Guangdong woman named Du Qingchi.

This gentleman was also a feminist, but she was far less radical than Tang Qunying, and she was more resilient.

She had run a girls' school for many years, and once ran the Yifeng Women's School. She gave a public speech, but was slandered and attacked by local men, saying that the Yifeng Women's School was a leprosy school.

Zhao Chuanxin was neither a male chauvinist nor a feminist. He was tolerant and allowed the development of multiculturalism.

But he had stated publicly or in movies many times that he opposed discrimination and devaluation of women's status.

Although Lao Zhao was not a man of his word, his iron-blooded hand was not for show after all.

At least Li Guangzong followed his lead.

So he immediately decided to invest in building a girls' school. Now it has been two years, and he hired Du Qingchi as the principal.

Anyone who dares to attack her should be careful of the adjudication team in work clothes and armed with pistols coming to reason with her.

The adjudication team is a presence that neither the black and white dare to provoke in Hong Kong and Macau. In Macau Island, it is an absolute force organization in the local area, responsible for defense and public security at the same time, and has the power to use artillery and warships.

Du Qingchi went to Li Guangzong every few days at first. At first, he just said that he wanted to expand the girls' school. Li Guangzong did not hesitate to contact the British governor to buy land and invest money.

Later, Du Qingchi added an academic affairs office to be responsible for the academic affairs of the whole school, and Li Guangzong immediately hired people.

Du Qingchi requested to build a library and hire a director of the library, and Li Guangzong agreed.

Du Qingchi expressed his desire to give speeches and conduct recreational activities to promote women's rights. Li Guangzong sent people to protect him, build a podium, etc.

Du Qingchi was convinced and had a great liking for Li Guangzong, and wanted to sublimate.

Li Guangzong had always been thinking about Liu Jiahui, but he turned a blind eye to this.

Because of Li Guangzong's strong support, Du Qingchi was embarrassed to ask for it again, and Xuantian Women's Academy became bigger and bigger.

Zhao Chuanxin bought a separate courtyard for Gulizar near the academy and hired an old woman to take care of her.

When the two returned to the separate courtyard, they saw a foreigner sitting in the courtyard.

This British devil was the director Herbert Ponting, who was sitting on a chair under the jacaranda tree and looking around.

Although this courtyard is small, it is beautiful. It is mainly in Chinese style, with blue bricks and black tiles. The front hall is a whole piece of glass with a wooden frame sliding door, and you can see the neat dining table, chairs, carpets and other things inside.

The courtyard is flat, with anti-slip patterns on the stone bricks and a gutter. Rainwater flows into the deliberately created low-lying area and flows to the sewer.

Herbert Ponting envied this aesthetic, the layout design here, and the good location of being quiet in the bustle.

Just as he was envious, Zhao Chuanxin and Gulizar came back.

The old woman came forward and said, "Mr. and Mrs., the foreigner said he is your friend and has been here for a while."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Herbert."

"Mr. Zhao." Herbert Ponting hurriedly stood up.

Gulizar widened her eyes: "Brother Xin, is he the British director? You don't have time, let him shoot it."

"He works for Yao Shijie." Zhao Chuanxin disagreed.

Herbert Ponting could understand some Chinese, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, I can do it, Mr. Yao will agree, he is eager."

It was very hot, Zhao Chuanxin took off his coat and hung it on a tree branch, and sat down with his bare chest.

His strong and muscular figure made Herbert Ponting envious and jealous.

Zhao Chuanxin did not believe in Herbert Ponting's ability to direct feature films.

He took out a stack of storyboards and handed them to Herbert Ponting: "Can you shoot it?"

Herbert Ponting's eyes lit up: "Mr. Zhao is really talented, all these pictures will become classics. But I don't understand why the good guys are usually on the left and the bad guys are on the right? Also, when framing, natural scenery is generally disordered, but you emphasize finding order in disorder, why is that?"

"To please the audience. The audience likes this. No one likes chaos, even chaos is orderly chaos."

Herbert Ponting has always wanted to go to Antarctica to shoot a landscape documentary.

After listening to Zhao Chuanxin's words, he fell into deep thought.

Being with Zhao Chuanxin always brings him new inspiration.

Herbert Ponting thought: This person is really a genius, as long as he wants to do it, he will definitely do it the best.

He pointed to another storyboard and said: "Mr. Zhao, the deep focus here needs to show all the details. This may be difficult to do, right?"

The lens at this time was made very roughly, and the shooting had to accommodate the equipment.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: "I upgraded the lens of the camera."

Zhao Chuanxin's split shots include deep focus, shallow focus, and zoom. He will use focus to create a romantic atmosphere, and he will also use low-angle double vision to track characters through the environment to create a romantic and relaxed atmosphere.

Herbert Ponting was amazed: "Mr. Zhao, this story must be about love, right?"

Gulizar's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Brother Xin, you said you didn't have time, but you clearly planned to make a movie for me."

Otherwise, how could he draw split shots? Then there must be a script, it seems that it was prepared in advance.

My heart was as sweet as eating honey.

Herbert Ponting asked: "What is the title of this movie?"

"The Bodyguard."

"How much money are you going to invest?"

"Fifteen hundred thousand."

Herbert Ponting: "Hiss..."

Zhao Chuanxin's film was the first of its kind in the world, and its ticket prices gradually matched those of five-cent theaters in the United States. The theaters were full, and the movie-goers came in an endless stream with great vitality.

The Shanghai Internet Cinema plays five shows a day, and the movie tickets alone can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, not counting other related supporting industries.

So even if you spend 150,000 to shoot, you still make money.

Herbert Ponting felt that Zhao Chuanxin wanted Yao Jia to be taken advantage of: "Mr. Yao may have concerns about making a movie with so much money."

"I will give you 100,000 yuan, and he will give you 50,000 yuan, and you will do the filming. He will take Yao Shijie's share of the box office share, and I will donate my share to the people in the disaster-stricken areas in China."

Herbert Ponting was shocked by Zhao Chuanxin's handiwork: "Mr. Zhao, aren't you worried about losing money?"

"Don't worry, I didn't pay for the 100,000 yuan anyway."

"..."

…

In August, heavy rains caused disasters in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places. People's houses were washed away by floods, their crops were destroyed, and people wailed everywhere.

People in northern Jiangsu, Anhui and other places have experienced food grabbing incidents in many places.

If you don't rob, you can't do it. If you don't rob, you will starve to death.

Previously, "Lugang Town Journal" became an instant hit in the southern region because it dispatched war correspondents to Yanbian and used telegrams, telephones, etc. to deliver documents regardless of the cost. They were always able to report on the war as soon as possible.

Other newspapers were reporting on the disaster and lamenting that the people were in dire straits.

But the "Lugang Town Journal" took a different approach and suddenly reported the news that the imperial court had donated 100,000 yuan to Japan for disaster relief.

The reporter was very professional. He did not exaggerate or hold back. He reported the matter in an impartial and neutral manner.

This is the style and attitude that a major newspaper must have. It disdains to be a headline-maker, and it also disdains to stand in line to attract traffic.

But this issue sold well in the South.

Other newspapers didn't have that kind of ethics, and they used guns and sticks to ridicule.

This is not the end.

Wang Daxie, the Qing court's foreign minister in Japan, personally went to the dock and received the relief money from the court to Japan. At that time, he opened the box and checked it. One hundred thousand yuan, no more and no less.

There are also Japanese reporters at the dock reporting on this.

However, when Wang Daxie handed over the money to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the box containing the money was handed to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs official. The other party opened the box, only to find that the money inside was missing.

Wang Daxie was dumbfounded: "This, this is absolutely impossible!"

The official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked gloomy: "If your Majesty doesn't want to donate this money, it's better not to make a big fanfare."

"No, when we were at the dock, many reporters saw that there was money in the box that I opened personally."

"Haha, substituting one thing for another, secretly plotting against Chen Cang, aren't these the most proficient methods of your Chinese officials?"

Wang Daxie's forehead was dripping with sweat: "No, I will never touch even a cent of this money!"

"It is useless to say more. At this time, I will inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. The truth will always be revealed to the world."

The most angry person was Aixinjueluo Zaifeng.

First of all, the "Lugang Town Journal" took the lead in reporting and created a bad atmosphere, causing the people in the south to criticize and abuse the imperial court.

Secondly, Wang Daxie lost the disaster relief money, which made the Qing government disgraced and disgraced.

Zai Feng threw all the tea cups on the table: "It's unreasonable. It's really unreasonable. I ordered the "Lugang Town Journal" to be sealed by this king!"

Naturally, there has to be someone to vent one's anger on, and Lugang Town Journal is the first to bear the brunt.

After this decree was issued, officials from many places defied the rules and only after greeting the staff of the local "Lugang Town Journal", they searched and burned the newspapers of that day.

However, the newspaper was not closed down according to Aixinjueluo Zaifeng's decree.

Only the governor of Huguang, Borzijit Ruicheng, personally led troops to the "Lugang Town Journal" newspaper office in Hankou, preparing to confiscate the printing equipment and seal the newspaper office.

Liu Huaqiang led his students to stop him.

Ruicheng pointed at Liu Huaqiang: "Get him for me."

Liu Huaqiang was confident: "Mr. Governor, it doesn't matter if you take advantage of me, Liu Huaqiang, but you have to think about the consequences. Mr. Governor, you might as well come in first and take a phone call before talking."

The master whispered something into Ruicheng's ear, and Ruicheng snorted coldly: "Huh, I want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd."

Liu Huaqiang stretched out his hand: "Please, Mr. Governor."

Ruicheng picked up the microphone and said: "I am the Governor of Huguang, Borzigit Ruicheng, Zhenghuangqi, who are you?"

"The lower official is a rainbow flag of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. He is the prefect of Lubin Prefecture. He hates the old sleeping basket and Zhao Chuanxin."

"you……"

"What's wrong with you and me? I heard that you want to seize my newspaper? Xiaguan is now at Bagong's house in the Russian Concession in Hankou. Mr. Governor, do you want Xiaguan to go there?"

"I, I don't want you to come."

"You don't want me to go there, why don't you get the hell out of here? I'm just trying to show you some respect, right?"

Ruicheng's face turned livid after being scolded, but he didn't dare to reply. He put down the phone and walked away in dejection.

Liu Huaqiang spat at his back: "Ah... tui! What the fuck!"

Liu Huaqiang led the student union back to Bagong's house: "Principal, Ruicheng has left."

Zhao Chuanxin had a cigarette in his ear, and his work clothes, hands and face were all stained with oil.

He said "Hmm" and continued to sponge the car.

This is sound insulation cotton pressed from natural sponge.

During this time, he was rubbing cars and motorcycles in Hankou.

Cars need to be rubbed four times, and motorcycles need to be rubbed once.

"Principal, I have to be honest. If cars were built like this, I'm afraid they would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and even wealthy people would be reluctant to buy them."

This special edition car of King of Rolls is too cool at this time.

This kind of covered car is called a RV, which is actually a car in later generations.

Aluminum alloy roof with sponge sound insulation layer and cloth lining inside.

The interior is made of plastic, and without exception there is shock-absorbing sponge underneath.

He just built four vehicles based on smaller versions of later-generation SUVs.

At this time, the price of Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom saloon car reaches up to 4,000 pounds.

The convertible costs around £700.

Zhao Chuanxin turned his face: "What did you say? Tens of thousands of dollars? Are you swearing? The entire car has been treated with shock absorbers and sound insulation. The interior is our highest-tech celluloid and Lubinfu pure leather seats. The following are The springs are comparable to a sofa, the four-cylinder engine has 48 horsepower, the aluminum alloy wheels and the roof hood are all made by me, Zhao Chuanxin, and they are not worth at least 250,000 yuan? "

Silver Charm is nothing.

The aluminum alloy alone is worth the price of admission.

A large amount of aluminum alloy is used just to reduce the weight of the car. In some places, he even used soft gold alloy.

Of course, the real cost is certainly not high.

After all, Zhao Chuanxin stole steel and aluminum and used the Old God's Crucible to brand them. Too much money.

Liu Huaqiang was dumbfounded and said, "Principal, who are you going to sell to?"

"Sell? How can you sell such a unique thing?"

These are all given away.

"Principal..." Liu Huaqiang asked shyly, "Can our college imitate it?"

"Well, it's not impossible." Zhao Chuanxin fastened the plastic plate and said, "Okay, I'm done. If there's nothing else to do, I'm leaving Hankou."

Liu Huaqiang saw Zhao Chuanxin washing his hands and face and asked, "Principal, where are you going?"

"Go to the capital and attend a foreign devil's wedding."

"Huh?"

This is surprising.

Which foreign devil is so famous that he can invite the principal to the wedding?

Zhao Chuanxin washed it with suet soap many times before the oil stain was gone.

At this time, a student said: "Principal, I have your telegram."

Zhao Chuanxin took it and saw that it was from Herbert Ponting.

Herbert Ponting said that he had finished filming "The Bodyguard" in Shanghai and was just short of publicity. He asked Zhao Chuanxin how to promote it to maximize profits.

Zhao Chuanxin wrote on the back of the paper: Let the Lugang Town Journal allocate the box office proceeds of this movie to the disaster area as a publicity stunt to tell the public that watching movies is equivalent to doing good deeds.

After seeing it, Liu Huaqiang admired: "Principal, you are really tall."

Zhao Chuanxin handed the paper to the student: "How high is it?"

This stopped Liu Huaqiang from asking.

Zhao Chuanxuan sent four cars to Qutsalan and then immediately set off for the capital.

In the golden autumn of October, the grass and trees are all yellow.

Zhao Chuanxin returned to Morrison Library and asked Morrison to take him to the German Siemens Company in Suzi Alley, Dongcheng.

John Rabe has not yet gone bald. He is only 29 years old, but his hairline has receded significantly.

He wears black-rimmed round glasses and is doing his accounting job.

Suddenly I heard that someone was looking for him.

John Rabe went out and his eyes lit up: "Mr. Morrison, who is this?"

Morrison solemnly introduced him: "John, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhao Chuanxin. Mr. Zhao, he is John Rabe."

John Rabe stared at Zhao Chuanxin with wide eyes, speechless.

I actually saw my husband, the butcher.

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing his double palace silk suit, Humboldt hat, and shiny leather shoes, very formal.

He tried his best to smile as kindly as possible and stretched out his hand: "John, I am Zhao Chuanxin. I heard that you are getting married soon?"

John Rabe was flattered and hurriedly shook hands with him: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, yes, that's right, I got married on October 25. My wife's name is Dora. It's an honor to meet you."

Zhao Chuanxin waved, and a carriage came up from behind. The carriage was covered with a thick cloth and looked bulging.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said, "I'm not sure if I'll have time to come over on your wedding day, so I'll bring you the wedding gift in advance."

The coachman lifted up the thick cloth, revealing a motorcycle with a dreamlike appearance.

The thick varnish and black paint are so bright that they can reflect the face, genuine leather and compressed sponge seat cushions, a large fuel tank shaped like a dragonfly belly, wheels like Hot Wheels, two round rearview mirrors, and the sides are made of metal protrusions. Four words - John Rabe. Write four words on the other side - Juan Wang Motorcycle.

Juan Wang Motorcycle is the brand and John Rabe is the model.

John Rabe and his colleagues who came out to watch the excitement stared wide-eyed.

Morrison's eyes were red with envy - How could you be so virtuous...
