Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

Ladies and gentlemen in Shanghai this year, since September, every day has been wonderful.In mid-September, the Shimai Global Department Store, which has been waiting for a whole year, opened. There are a variety of products in it, all kinds of fashion products synchronized with Europe, and high-quality services make them crazy.

As soon as October was over, Boss Mei, who was popular in Beiping, went to Shanghai and sang for half a month together with Boss Tong, a well-known local old boy, on the "Tianchan Stage".

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shimai Department Store "turned over the flowers" again, built a mini moon palace in the atrium, and moved all the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in, making the entire department store full of fragrance.

The "Moon Palace" is full of Soviet-style, Cantonese-style, Chaozhou-style and Beijing-style moon cakes, as well as various expensive tobacco and alcohol.Every hour from morning to night, there are salesgirls dressed as Chang'e singing Shaoxing opera in the "Moon Palace" and distributing candy to passing children. It was very lively for a while.

As soon as November entered, Shimai Department Store advertised again in "Declaration" as usual, this time promoting "VIP VIP Card" and "December Christmas Promotion".

This VIP card, some people with banknotes and status in Shanghai basically have one before this, but the level is different.If a wealthy family only applies for a gold card, it will be laughed to death--the membership fee is only [-] oceans a year, and it is a shame to buy only one card?

As for the biggest gimmick of this "Christmas Sale", the new Ford car that had been hanging for two months in the atrium of Shimai Department Store was about to be auctioned off—on Christmas night.

As soon as the news hit the newspapers, it immediately caused a sensation.Even men who were not that interested in department stores were attracted attention.

You must know that when this car was introduced into China, there were only five in total: one went to Nanjing and gave it to government officials; A few days ago, I saw its elegant demeanor in the "Peking Daily"; another one was parked in the yard of Liang's family in the "Qinglongtang" of the Cao Gang.

This Ford car was imported to Shanghai through the foreign firm of the Jewish businessman Shatong.He also has shares in Shimai Department Store, so he left this last car to the Luo family brothers.Who knew that the young master of the Luo family actually hung it in the atrium of the department store.This move makes people itch with hatred—you can see it, but you can’t touch it, you can’t drive it, you can’t buy it.

And now, this car is going to be sold!

Although it is a bit strange that a department store sells a car, the most important thing is - it is going to be sold!No longer being hung high in the air, it finally landed!

Isn't this just like a fairy descending to earth to marry a man-wife?

"Let me tell you, Xiao Xia, you must sell this car to me!"

Looking at the large black car parked under the Christmas tree in the atrium, surrounded by piles of gift boxes with ribbons, Liang Shaolong excitedly squeezed Luo Xiazhi's shoulder and said.

"Master Liang, this car is going to be auctioned off. I can't just sell it to whoever I designate."

For this Christmas promotion, Luo Xiazhi, who was already busy and dizzy, was grabbed by Liang Shaolong just as he came out of the office.He struggled a few times to no avail, and was dragged by Liang Shaolong all the way to the atrium on the first floor.

Originally, the stage in the atrium was unobstructed, but in the past few days, there have been too many people who have come to visit this Ford car. They not only look at it, but also touch it, and they can touch the palm prints on the black car body.

In the end, there was no other way. The security department sent people to form a circle around these exhibits with ribbons, and also sent two security guards to stand guard in front of the car, which stopped the enthusiastic palm prints of the crowd.

"Isn't it okay to accommodate? Money is not a problem, the key is to buy it."

The reason why Master Liang came to the department store to report every day was that this car was the "culprit" who seduced him.

"Accommodating? Several prominent families in Shanghai, such as the Ming family, the Rong family, and the Sheng family, have sent people to say hello these days and want me to be 'lenient and flexible'."

While dealing with Liang Shaolong, Luo Xiazhi directed the staff to arrange and place promotional products and posters.

"Can they be the same as me? We are 'brothers'! My cousin is your brother, and I am your brother. It's only natural for a younger brother to connect with an older brother!"

"Master Liang, let's talk with the banknotes. Isn't this your favorite! Or are you afraid that others will have more banknotes than you?"

Luo Xiazhi patted his cheap brother on the shoulder, turned around and went back to work.

After knowing the relationship between this interesting Young Master Luo and his cousin, Master Liang has become more confident in running the department store—to help his family with business!

Regarding this, Luo Xiazhi was very puzzled and asked Principal Gu Hanlin, doesn't his cousin need to do things?What's the matter with spending time in the department store every day, and the family doesn't say it?

Principal Gu took Luo Xiazhi's hand with both hands, and shook it gratefully: "Master Liang said that the young master will not go to Changsantang recently, secondly, he will not go to Paramount, and thirdly, he will not fight and cause trouble, and live a very healthy life every day." , let me thank the third young master of the Luo family on his behalf, he must come to the Liang Mansion tomorrow, and he will hold a banquet to entertain guests.

Putting down Luo Xiazhi's hand with nostalgia, Principal Gu sighed and said, "You don't know, my cousin has been living a miserable life... He doesn't want to take over the family business, and he has no goals in life. Since my aunt passed away, , he has always been rebellious, suffering, and perplexed like this..."

Luo Xia really thought that he also wanted to experience the pain of Risaqianjin.

It's a pity that he was born to work hard, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't find something to do every day.He has even prepared the department store's annual promotion plan for next year, and he is as busy as a hardworking bee.

The only time to relax is when Xiaoxiao and Xiaoye come back from school on weekends, they eat and shop around Shanghai together, and go to Principal Gu for tea and coffee after get off work.

Even his elder brother persuaded him to take a vacation no matter what and take a break after the end of the year-end promotion.

"Ale, I'm going to the printing company. Their manager called just now and said that he couldn't understand the effect of the gold dust I wanted...ah, I'm so dizzy."

Holding an unsatisfactory poster sample, Luo Xiazhi walked out of the office and remembered that Ale went to Xijiao Park to learn to drive today.

It turned out that the driver of the eldest brother asked for leave and returned to his hometown in Yangzhou because his wife was sick. He would not be able to return until after the Lunar New Year.So his driver, Lao Chen, was busy running at both ends, taking the two brothers to and from get off work every day.It's just that it would be inconvenient for him to use a car during working hours, so A Le volunteered to learn to drive, and he has been living in the western suburbs since today.

"Manager, do you want to call you a 'baitou (Shanghai dialect: taxi)'?"

His secretary Zheng Jiesen stepped forward and asked.

"No, the printing house is very close to here, I just take a rickshaw when I go out."

Rorschach took down the coat and scarf from the hangers.

"I'll go with you."

Jason also turned to get his clothes.

"No need. Aren't there suppliers coming to the meeting in the afternoon? If I don't come back in time, only you and the manager of the purchasing department will receive me—be sure to check it out. The end of the year is the most important sales season of the year. Everyone at the end of this year Whether the red envelope is thick or not, it’s up to you.”

"But the manager..."

Before Luo Xiazhi could reply, he had already "dumped" down the stairs.

Zheng Jiesen sighed, and hung the coat on the back of the chair casually.

On Luo Xiazhi's desk, there was still today's latest issue of "Shenbao" that he hadn't had time to read. The headline on the front page was "Shocked!"Third robbery this month!The son of Shanghai Flour King was kidnapped and the kidnappers demanded a million ransom! "

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

After leaving the gate of the department store, Luo Xiazhi casually stopped the rickshaw and got on it.Dozens of rickshaws are parked at the entrance of this department store from morning till night, ready to serve the ladies who come out from here with big bags and small bags.

After saying the address of the publishing house, Luo Xiazhi lowered his head and began to read the documents brought out. When he felt something was wrong, he found that he had been pulled to a street he had never seen before.

This is not the public concession and the old city that he is familiar with, it should be an ordinary road in the Huajie.The buildings on both sides are neither Shikumen nor bungalows, but ordinary local brick houses, which look very old.A woman was burning a coal stove on the side of the street, and the smell of soot made Rorschach cough.

"Stop! Who are you! What is this place?"

The driver pulling the cart ignored Luo Xiazhi and kept running forward. He was pulling the cart and flew up, and Luo Xiazhi felt his whole body leaning back.

"Stop! I'll let you stop!"

There were still a few pedestrians standing on the side of the street, but as the driver turned around three times, none of the passers-by could be seen, and the houses on the side of the road became more and more dilapidated.

Luo Xiazhi raised the folder and slammed it heavily on the driver's head. The brass clip happened to hit the back of his head, and the driver let out a scream and let go of his hands.

The car stopped, and Luo Xiazhi staggered and rushed onto him.

"Little red guy!"

The coachman was knocked to the ground by Luo Xiazhi, and then he punched him head to head.

Although Luo Xiazhi was fighting for the first time in this life, he had accumulated a lot of fighting experience in his "last life" when he was studying.Taking advantage of the driver being knocked dizzy by him, he slammed his head hard. After the beating was so severe that he couldn't resist, he dressed roughly and stood up.

"Where... is this place..."

He pulled the scarf and tried to identify the surrounding environment.

Is it Zhabei?

Or Nanshi?

No, this is not Nanshi's Wanqing style. It seems that he was really dragged to Zhabei...

"Little red guy... don't go..."

The coachman was quite resistant to beatings, and he stood up tremblingly, so frightened that Luo Xiazhi ran away.

He wanted to turn to the road as soon as possible. It was not very late now, and there should be passers-by walking around.Or walk along the Suzhou Creek, so that you can go south along the Suzhou Creek, and you will be in the public concession after crossing the Laozha Bridge...

"Hey, don't you have eyes?"

Luo Xiazhi ran into a middle-aged woman just after taking two steps, and the woman was about to yell at her as soon as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Where is this place?"

Luo Xiazhi quickly apologized.

"This is the road of Alabaster..."

The woman replied, and then glanced behind Luo Xiazhi, "Ah, isn't this the rascal Ah San? Why is Lennon being chased by this man. This man is notoriously a villain."

Luo Xiazhi looked back, and saw that "Ah San" was chasing after him cursing while covering his head.

"Go, go! You will be unlucky to be stared at by him."

The woman grabbed Luo Xiazhi's arm and took him aside.

Luo Xiazhi ran with her for a while, and saw Suzhou Creek - that's great!He originally wanted to go south along the Suzhou Creek!

Arabesto Road... Ah, isn't it Qufu Road later?It is not far from the north bank of Suzhou River.

The sky gradually darkened. Compared with the bright lights on the south bank of the Suzhou River, the northern part can only be described as barren, with basically no lights and no pedestrians.

"What should I do? Why is he still chasing him?"

Rorschach turned back while running.

"My boat is ahead! He can't chase us once we're on board."

said the woman.

"I'm a manure trucker on the Suzhou River, and our manure pier is in front of me. If you don't mind, sir, you can get on a boat and avoid it!"

Dung boat?So exciting? !

The author has something to say: This is a tasteful post hee hee.

Shanghai's dung dock was still operating on the Suzhou Creek until around 2008, isn't it amazing?

When I was in elementary school, on my way home, I was tricked by my classmates to "watch the scenery" on the dung pier...

That taste, that color, is really unforgettable for a lifetime, Wangtian
