"Tell me about your work plan for the next stage." Elder Dong said.

"Tang Hua sent us a long telegram in January this year," Qin Bangli said, "it mentioned the development plan of China Resources in the next two years, and we are currently implementing it. The big strategic idea is that after the founding of New China, the international It will be blocked and isolated by the British and American powers, and foreign trade will be subject to many restrictions. The production of factories in Hong Kong and Macau will not be particularly large, so China Resources should open up foreign trade with the Soviet Union and Eastern European socialist countries. The main focus is light industry Products and processed agricultural products complement each other. We have already begun to implement this plan. Now, the first product has samples.”

Qin Bangli picked up a piece of clothing from the table. "This is a jacket-style cotton coat. The cotton batting adopts a new puffed and discrete process. It is no longer cotton batting, it can be called cotton fleece... the weight and materials are only half of the traditional cotton coat, and the warmth retention effect is particularly good. Like this one Cotton clothes only use half a catty of cotton, but the actual warmth retention effect is better than that of two catties of cotton. The weather in the Soviet Union is cold, and leather clothing is good at keeping warm, but it is still very expensive after all. Cotton clothes can keep warm at minus 20 degrees As good as leather, but much cheaper."

Elder Dong picked up the cotton coat, it was indeed very light.Knead by hand, soft and thin, feel good.It's free to try on, it's noon in July.

"Cold-proof and warm-keeping garments are currently planned to be divided into two grades of half a catty of cotton and one catty of cotton. The fillings are divided into low-grade cotton velvet and high-grade down—that is, duck down. There are four types in total. Tang Hua suggested that we set up the factory in Dalian or Shandong. , because it is facing the northern region and the Soviet Union, Hong Kong and Nanyang really have no market. This is not only close to the consumption place, but also closer to the cotton and duck down production place."

"Isn't the place where the duck down is produced in Nanjing?...Well, let's set it up in Dalian first," Mr. Dong said. "The Northeast is colder than Shandong, and Dalian has the Soviet army. And if you want to do foreign trade, you can go directly to Siberia from Dalian on the railway. to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe."

"So, is there anything we in Shanghai can do to help?" Commander Chen is now the mayor of Shanghai.

"Yes," Qin Bangli said, "and it's a big deal. According to the plan, it will be arranged in several cities from Shanghai to Suzhou and Hangzhou, that is, in the Yangtze River Delta. This requires the approval and coordination of the central government, but the chairman has agreed in principle, and China Resources has begun to take advantage of the current time window to gradually import equipment from Western countries, all of which are now concentrated in Hong Kong."

"What kind of company is it?"

"It is not a single enterprise, but an industrial system composed of many enterprises. The electronics and semiconductor industries."

Fast Forward Three: Zhou Xuan · Hong Kong

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Surrounded by younger brothers sent by Kirin Films to pick him up, Zhou Xuan and his assistant, Ms. Qin, strolled through the streets of Hong Kong, looking at this slightly unfamiliar city.

Since her debut, Zhou Xuan has only been to Hong Kong twice, both of which were commercial performances that were discussed. She sang a few songs at the parties of high-ranking officials and wealthy people, and left by boat the next day. She didn't have a deep impression of Hong Kong.

It took two months of persuasion by Assistant Qin to take over the filming of a Hong Kong company.Less than a year after the Kuomintang took over Shanghai, it had harvested Shanghai's industrial, commercial and entertainment circles into a bleak one.Inflation has deteriorated, and the film industry has been repeatedly squeezed out. Few companies can still provide working capital to raise new films.As a first-line movie star and a first-line singer, it is not good for her stardom to keep producing films, so why not come to Hong Kong to test the waters.The second reason for Assistant Qin's persuasion was to let Zhou Xuan leave Shanghai to relax.In the four months since Tang Hua disappeared, Zhou Xuan has been depressed. As long as she is in Shanghai, she may never be able to get rid of the past.

Seeing Zhou Xuan speechless all the way now, but curiously looking at the surrounding street scene, Assistant Qin thought that coming to Hong Kong this time should be a good decision.

He Luting, the author of "The Song of the Guerrillas", once recalled Zhou Xuan who had dealt with him in this way: "He has a gentle temperament, an introverted personality, and is relatively stable in his actions and dealings with others. He is very simple, innocent, and simple. He is a responsible person. …In the 1940s, it was not easy for her to be as pure and self-loving as she was, and to get out of the mud without staining."

"Miss Zhou, look, here is your record!" Assistant Qin pointed to a record store on the street.

The record box with a large photo of Zhou Xuan printed on it was placed in the most conspicuous position on the first counter when entering the store, and it read:

"Dream Chaser - New Work by Diva Zhou Xuan (Mandarin, Three Songs)"

Zhou Xuan approached the counter and picked up her album.A single-sided record with a maximum capacity of 18 minutes, which only contains 3 songs: "Dream Chaser", "Dear Child", and "Forget Together".

In 1944, the divine comedy "Evening Fragrance" sung by Li Xianglan was released and became a hit in Shanghai.Zhou Xuan did not get any good songs in 44 and 45. For a while, there were rumors that Li Xianglan had surpassed Zhou Xuan with a golden voice and became the first lady in the Shanghai music scene... By 1946, three songs written by Tang Hua and Zhou Xuan fell from the sky, and it was easy Stepped on Li Xianglan, and threw the latter several blocks away.As far as singers are concerned, both Li Xianglan and Zhou Xuan are the top performers of this era, and which one of them dominates the other, and who can make a hit depends to a large extent on the quality of the song itself.

Zhou Xuan, who covered her face with a pair of big sunglasses, flipped through her records on the shelf, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.However, when she turned her head slightly to look, the smile on her face froze.

Assistant Qin followed the direction Zhou Xuan was looking at, and saw another counter in the store. The most obvious place was the record:

"The Lonely Prodigal Queen's Heartfelt Appearance Zhou Xuan and Wife Talent Tang Hua Compose and Sing"

""About Winter" (Mandarin)"

""Forget You Forget Me" (Cantonese)"

"Who Knows the Heart of a Prodigal Son (Cantonese)"

……

"Ms. Zhou, hello, hello," the manager of Kylin Films personally greeted Zhou Xuan, bowed and shook hands, his expression was full of humbleness and flattery, but also a little fear.

"Hello, Manager Wang."

"Miss Zhou, it's like this. My company went through a merger last month, and the board of directors no longer exists. I am now only responsible to Boss Song, the company's only investor." After the two parties sat down, Manager Wang said, "Boss Song The request is to use a new script for the movie, and the script of "Each has its own merits" that was mailed to you before is invalid. In addition, Boss Song would like to ask you to sing the theme song and interlude for the new movie."

"Manager Wang," Assistant Qin, who was sitting next to Zhou Xuan, reminded in a low voice, "Miss Zhou is not willing to sing new songs now. In fact... Miss Zhou only sings Tang Hua's songs."

"Yes, yes," Manager Wang said to Assistant Qin in the same respectful tone, "I heard you say it before. It's just that our boss said that he wanted to ask Ms. Zhou to look at the score first before making a decision. So I will trouble you and Ms. Zhou." ..."

Manager Wang handed over an envelope with both hands, and sealed it with wax.Zhou Xuan took the envelope suspiciously, and opened it out of politeness.

The first piece of paper I saw when I opened it was the lyrics and score.

"Thousand Thousand Que Songs" (Sung in Cantonese)

Not only the music score and lyrics, but also densely written instruments, arrangements, key changes and rhythm prompts, articulation, pitch change reminders, singing emotion suggestions... Who else can write the score like this except that person?

Open the second piece of paper, it is a text message, or a message.

璇：

Here I want to say sorry, I have been reflecting on my selfishness and cowardice these past few months.

Before, in order to prevent the blow of you leaving me from falling on me, I chose to leave you first.This kind of behavior seems to be ridiculous and stupid. I hope I still have a chance to make up for my mistakes now.

Xuan, no matter how far we are or how many years we have been apart, I love you.I love you now and in the future.

I can't ask you to do anything, but I will always think of you from afar.

(Also: The film was filmed in Hong Kong, and the main screening places are Hong Kong and Guangdong, so I wrote the lyrics in Cantonese for the episode. Aunt Ye is from Cantonese, and you can speak Cantonese well, please give it a try.)

……

"Tang Hua..." Zhou Xuan smiled like a 12-year-old child, but tears welled up in her eyes, "Tang Hua, why are you everywhere..."

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

"Miss Zhou! Miss Zhou!" Assistant Qin ran all the way into the villa and rushed to Zhou Xuan's room, "I found out where Tang Hua is!"

"I heard from Little Six again, butler Sun told him?"

"No! It was Staff Officer Sun of the Ministry of National Defense who told his aunt, who told her best friend, who is a fellow villager with me. She said that Tang Hua is now in Yan'an, and he is Zhu Mao... the senior staff officer of the Red Army is in northern Shaanxi It's going to war!"

"Crack!" The blush box slipped from Zhou Xuan's hand and fell to the floor.

"Miss Zhou, what's the matter with you, your face is pale with fright?"

The clumsy old radio in the room blared, replaying the news.A female announcer was reading a battle report in a weak voice, posturing, groaning, gesticulating:

"Reported by Central News Agency. Reported by Central News Agency. The Xi'an Appeasement Office sent a good news. The National Army's strong force, not only conquered Yan'an, but also chased the Zhumao bandit army in northern Shaanxi. A few days ago, it won another great victory in Yulin, dealing a heavy blow to the bandit army... ...Ahead of the battlefield inventory report, there are tens of thousands of bandit army corpses, and countless wounded and fleeing. According to the confession of the captives, the troops annihilated by me are the central headquarters of the bandit army...The nearby villagers discovered that the bandit leader Mao ZD was riding a white horse Fell to death in a deep ditch...Mao ZD should have been buried here..."

"Miss Zhou! Miss Zhou!"
