Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

Since February, boycotts of Japanese goods in various forms have blossomed all over the country.

In just a few months, countless Japanese merchants and their wares became the target of public criticism.

The first to bear the brunt is Japan's textile trade with China and textile factories in China. The turnover of cotton yarn and silk products has dropped by about 20.00%.

Nearly half of the Japanese cigarettes that originally occupied "half of the country" in Shanghai's cigarette market have also disappeared.The trading volume of sugar, cement, toys, candy, soap, etc. also showed a cliff-like decline.

During this period of time, Japanese goods were unabashedly called "hatred goods".

Not only stores refused to sell Japanese goods, but even dock workers refused to unload Japanese goods.People working in Japanese shops, firms, and factories were also ashamed of this and resigned one after another.

If someone "replenishes China with the sun" and sells the original Japanese products as domestic products by tearing off the labels, once discovered, they will be criticized by thousands of people.

In just a few months, countless bankrupt Japanese left China and returned to Japan with their wives and children sadly.

Of course, there are also companies with particularly strong capital, such as Sakura Department Store and Otsubaki Trading Company, which still refuse to give up the Chinese market.

Because they firmly believe that the boycott is only temporary, and with China's current industrial development level and commercial level, there is no way to completely leave Japanese products.After all, compared with imported products from Europe, their advantages in quality, price, and shipping schedule are obvious.

This point, Luo Xiazhi is also very clear.

Historically, the boycott of Japanese goods started at the beginning of the year in Paris, climaxed in the New Culture Movement in May, and lasted for about four years. In fact, it finally ushered in a shocking and strong rebound...

And as far as the current boycott situation is concerned, the affected are basically light industries.It can be said that Japan's heavy industry in China has basically not been affected. Trade with China, such as steel, coal, and rubber industries, has basically remained at the original state, or even increased slightly.

And what Rorschach has to do is to take advantage of these four years to further invest in industry, especially heavy industry, compared to the previous period of the European War.

The boycott is temporary, and the revitalization of the real industry is the way to "save the king".

The confidence to drive out Japanese goods, in addition to the support from the people, more importantly, there are commodities and industries in the country to fill the "gap" that the Japanese withdrew.

Otherwise, everything would be a castle in the air, leaving out Japanese goods, as well as Western and Nanyang goods, without industrial strength, everything would be empty talk.

Not long after the recovery was over, Luo Xiazhi took advantage of the spring season to go north to Tianjin, preparing to meet Fan Dongli again.

After the "robbery case", even though he knew that all of this was a "bitter trick" directed and acted by Luo Xiazhi, he had no choice but to do so.But Luo Yunze and Bai Fenghuang no longer allow Xiaoxiao to return to study in Hong Kong.

Since Luo Muze can hijack Xiaoxiao once on the way, then he can hijack Xiaoxiao for the second time and the third time... and Hong Kong is too far away from Shanghai, if something happens to Xiaoxiao, it is really called Tiantian should not, It's frustrating.

Xiaoxiao was also really scared this time, when Li Ye took her and drove to the small town to ask for help.She hugged Third Uncle, whose body was half soaked in blood, and cried hoarsely.

"Smile, don't cry..."

At that time, Luo Xiazhi weakly opened his eyes, and stroked her cheek with his uninjured left hand.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Luo family. If something happens to father and third uncle, the burden of the Luo family will be on your shoulders, you know?"

In the past, she always thought that she was a carefree little princess, but later she felt that she was a progressive youth imprisoned by a feudal family.

For a certain period of time, she felt anxious, melancholy, and even unreasonably angry and powerless about her identity.

After that, the study life away from home made her gradually understand what is responsibility and what is responsibility.

But when she hugged the third uncle in her arms, she finally realized that she was the eldest lady of the Luo family, the third generation of the Luo family, and the guardian of the third uncle and the others!

She wants to protect her third uncle, her father and grandma, and this "home" that has always protected her from wind and rain!

In the end, with the discussion of the whole family and the approval of Xiaoxiao, her school status was transferred back to Shanghai, and she chose to enter the Zhongxi Girls' High School to complete the rest of her studies.

However, Luo Xiazhi, who has always advocated "family democracy" and is willing to listen to the opinions of her children, made her go to Hong Kong for further studies no matter what.

Not only smiling, but Luo Yunze and Bai Fenghuang's insistence on him was also very puzzling.

Of course they didn't know that although the war that almost led to the subjugation of the country was still far away, Luo Xiazhi had already slowly started to make plans for the future of the Luo family.

For example, Shimai Department Store Hong Kong Branch, Roche Commercial Bank Hong Kong Branch, and Roche Insurance Hong Kong Branch are already under construction.

However, it is still too early to consider what will happen three years later.In short, Xiaoxiao now has the consciousness of being a "successor", and her words and deeds have become more stable, which makes the Luo family very pleased.

In fact, Luo Yunze was once troubled by the question of the future successor of the Luo family.

This man is powerful and conceited, but he is affectionate and persistent to the woman he loves.

Ever since Xiaoxiao's mother passed away, until now, people have been matchmaking for him one after another, trying to fill in this huge business family with a "mother in charge".

As far as Luo Xiazhi knows, the women introduced over the years have covered the political circles, business circles, old-style big landlord families, and even foreign women...

But Luo Yunze only had Bai Fenghuang in his heart.And he thinks that after marrying Xiaoxiao's mother and giving birth to Xiaoxiao, he has fully fulfilled his responsibilities as Luo's eldest son.There is no need to marry another woman for appearance.

Now he just wants to guard his lover, son and daughter and live a good life.

So for so many years, the vacancy of the Luo family's grandma has been hanging in the air... Everyone turned their attention to Luo Xiazhi.

Since then, the matchmakers have almost leveled the threshold of Luo Mansion.

Whether it's the three aunts and the six wives, or the bosses in the mall who have been entrusted by others, they can't figure it out no matter what. The third master is handsome, has a prominent family background, and is a business genius. Why doesn't he ask for a wife?Earlier, I would go out on a blind date and drink coffee with a girl. Why have you been so busy recently that all the girls have disappeared?

Bai Fenghuang, who is familiar with the inside story, is also embarrassed and helpless every time he receives these "matchmakers" who come to ask around.All I can say is that my son is focused on doing business and is not in a hurry to get married.

The problem is, Mr. Luo is not in a hurry, the girls from the wealthy families in Shanghai can't afford to wait!

Every year, there are new excellent girls joining the social field.But there are only a few outstanding young men in Shanghai who are good-looking, not to mention Luo Xiazhi, who has saved so much money at such a young age.

The girl from the Huang family who was the first to have a blind date with Mr. Luo, now that her children are in kindergarten, why is Mr. Luo not in a hurry!

No, all kinds of gossip just started without wind.

For example, why Sanye Luo actually had an affair with a certain saleswoman in Shimai Department Store (here refers to Xiao Feiyan); why Sanye Luo actually had a crush on a certain woman, so he decided not to marry for life (this is this A certain starlet deliberately released a scandal in order to boost his self-worth); some people even maliciously speculated whether Luo Xiazhi had some physical disease, which was not as good as "inhumane" (it was later confirmed that this was Xiao Feiyan's fans deliberately dissecting the rumor. Love rival Luo Sanye's slander)...

After coming and going, I don't know how this "scandal" spread to my hometown in Shaoxing.Their hometown clan even gossiped about inviting an old Chinese doctor who was said to be able to help the man "restore his glory" and "produce a son" to come up to see Luo Xiazhi, but Luo Yunze couldn't bear to send him back.

The old Chinese doctor is gone, but Luo Xiazhi's "marriage" problem.In other words, the issue of Rorschach's "successor" still exists.

Knowing that although this son looks soft and kind, he is just like himself in the bottom of his heart. He also has a personality that does not change his original intention when he is alone. Naturally, Luo Yunze can't do what his father did back then, giving Luo Xiazhi a wife and forcing him to He has children.

But the problem of children is really a big problem.

"Before I came, my elder brother talked to me once."

This time going north, Luo Xiazhi traveled lightly and only took two people with him.

It's just that Ah Le's position on the train has been completely replaced by Li Ye, which makes people feel that things are different.

This time they chose to leave in August, and it happened that Gu Hanlin was on summer vacation, so he didn't even need to ask for vacation.After finishing the business, you can take a good stroll around Tianjin before going back.

During this time, each of them was too busy and needed a good rest.

On May [-]th, the great movement that changed modern history finally broke out.

From south to north, from east to west, regardless of men, women, old or young, students, workers, or businessmen, everyone expressed great indignation at the outcome of the World War I peace talks.In any case, it is unacceptable for Japan to claim ownership of the Jiaodong Peninsula with the "Article 21" signed many years ago.

All of a sudden, there were turbulent winds and clouds, and public opinion was boiling. People of insight shouted, "The country will perish forever, and [-] million people will swear to die for it." Signing this so-called "contract agreement" is full of shame and worse than that of the defeated country.

Not only companies like Shimai Department Store, the "China-China Products Promotion Association" and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce closed down, even Liang Shaolong, who has no political awareness, stopped work in the countryside of Suzhou for three days to express his indignation.

And Gu Hanlin, who manages the students who are fighting on the front line, is exhausted from being busy every day.

At the end of June, as expected, according to the original trend of history, Ambassador Gu refused to sign at the Paris Peace Talk Conference in order to maintain the dignity of the country.

The failure of the peace talks once again proved the truth that "weak countries have no diplomacy". The blood and tears of 14 laborers were wasted, and the ugly faces of Western powers and Japan were fully exposed.

It wasn't until the end of July that the trend slowly calmed down.

What followed was a super wave of "patriotic goods" boom.

All of a sudden, all kinds of products under the name of "patriotic" became popular.

The "patriotic cotton cloth", "patriotic sugar", and "patriotic towels" were listed all at once, and even strange products such as "patriotic cigarettes", "patriotic corn ointment", and "patriotic hair tonic" also appeared.Manufacturers are afraid of being one step behind others and failing to catch up with this trend, resulting in unsalable products.

While dragging his half-crippled arm, Luo Xiazhi led all the employees of the department store to restock the goods that not only changed the product name, but also changed the factory name and trademark, and at the same time had to deal with the snowflakes. , requesting an application for joining the "China-Domestic Products Promotion Association".

In short, in the past few months, while he was busy going around, he also had to consider the issue of "heir" raised by his elder brother.

"What did your elder brother say...won't let you get married?"

Although the box door was closed, Gu Hanlin lowered his voice.

"He said... Tell your elder brother and sister-in-law to hurry up and find a way to make another one."

Rorschach leaned closer to his ear and said narrowly.

"Then adopt it to us."

"Big Brother is Big Brother... Doesn't he know that my sister-in-law is almost fifty?"

Gu Hanlin didn't know what expression to put on.

"Hey, I'm only 45, I'm taking care of myself, maybe there's a bright future."

Luo Xiazhi patted the back of his hand, and was also extremely impressed by his big brother's brain - it's a good thing he figured it out!

"It's impossible, give up. Just having my nephew, my elder brother feels very distressed. It's impossible to give us another one for the sake of adoption."

His eldest brother is proficient in gynecology, and he knows that childbirth can cause serious harm to women, and it cannot be added.When his sister-in-law gave birth, he felt very distressed. Not only did he personally take care of all the daily life of the child, but he also actively took care of her body.

Later, the sister-in-law wanted to have another daughter to make a little padded jacket, but the elder brother refused anyway.For this reason, the loving couple had a rare "cold war" for a period of time.

In short, wanting them to have another one is simply "daydreaming".

"I told my elder brother that I decided to hand over Shimai Department Store and all properties under my name to Xiaoxiao in the future."

Luo Xiazhi looked into Gu Hanlin's eyes and said firmly, "Xiaoxiao is the third and only heir of the Luo family."

"As expected of you!"

Gu Hanlin gave a thumbs up.

"Women can't be heirs. That's the old calendar of the year of the monkey. Luo's is a new-style foreign firm, and Shimai Department Store is a global department store. Of course, everything is based on the world's standards. The kings of England are all women, and the throne can be handed over to women. , What if I hand over the estate to my niece? Smile...Luo Wanyi is my sole heir, Luo Xiazhi."

Luo Xiazhi repeated what he said to his elder brother in the study of Luo Mansion that day.

"According to the laws of the Republic of China, women have the same inheritance rights as men. I heard that the young lady of the Sheng family had a lawsuit with her two older brothers and a younger brother because of inheritance issues, which caused a sensation in Shanghai. Female world. Our family Xiaoxiao has no brothers, so we don’t need to go to court with others. Those old guys in the countryside of Shaoxing don’t need to make their minds on her. After I make a decision, I will make a will and put all the property under my name in Let Xiaoxiao inherit after I die..."

As he spoke, Luo Xiazhi covered his cheeks, "Then he was slapped by my elder brother, saying that he's not dead yet, so it's not my turn."

"Hahaha……"

Gu Hanlin raised his head and smiled, "That's more convenient for me. I'm just a bad teacher, I don't have any property, and I don't need any heirs. I don't have any throne to continue in my family."

The door of the box was opened, Li Ye came in with a pot of hot water in his hand, and refilled the water for the two of them.

"Let's sit together. It's still a few days before we go to Tianjin. You can't be restrained like this."

Rorschach greeted warmly.

The three of them booked two double boxes.But Li Ye always stayed alone by the side and didn't come to talk to them.

You must know that after graduating from university, he stayed in Tianjin for a long time, so he is more familiar than them all.

"I brought several books and wanted to use the time in the car to read them...I went out first."

Putting down the kettle, Li Ye smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the next door.

"Has this child fallen in love recently..."

Luo Xiazhi looked at the box door and said something to himself, startling Gu Hanlin who was sitting next to him.

"why do you say so?"

"It's cloudy and sunny, especially after returning from IOUs in Hangzhou last time, I'm very depressed. Xiaoxiao doesn't go to school now, and lives at home every day. When she sees him and greets him, she will ignore him Man, make me childish..."

Luo Xiazhi said worriedly, and then his expression changed, "He, he shouldn't like Xiaoxiao!"

"..."

Originally filled with uneasiness, suspecting that Luo Xiazhi found out that Li Ye had a crush on Gu Hanlin, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"How is it possible, Li Ye is so much older than Xiaoxiao, and your Xiaoxiao is still just a child?"

"Strictly speaking, they are only seven or eight years younger... Although Xiaoxiao is still a little girl now, she will be a slim girl in two years. Besides, people nowadays are generally precocious?"

The more Luo Xiazhi talked, the more he felt that what he said was very reasonable, "And you are only eight years older than me. It is possible for you and me. Why is it impossible for Li Ye and Xiaoxiao? You can't just because of Li Ye's identity. Discriminate against him."

"I don't...I'm not...you listen to me..."

Gu Hanlin stretched out his "Erkang hand", but he couldn't stop Luo Xiazhi from thinking wildly.

Absolutely, as expected of Luo Yunze's younger brother, the leaping thinking of their old Luo family must be an ancestral skill.

"They were very good when they were young. Do you still remember that when Xiaoxiao was unhappy in the past, he would write to her 'Brother Li Ye'. Li Ye is so much older than her, and he would patiently enlighten her. They have feelings Basic!"

As he said that, Luo Xiazhi clapped his hands excitedly, "Great! My 'godson' married my 'niece (sister)', it's really a match made in heaven, it's a perfect match!"

Ah, this kind of happiness of "the fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders" is really gratifying.

Luo Xiazhi completed a logical self-consistency, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"no……"

Gu Hanlin really wanted to tell him that the main reason why Li Ye was so depressed was because he went to find Liang Shaolong some time ago and told him very clearly that if he couldn't manage his man well, then he would The man who asked him to "disappear" in front of Luo Xiazhi from now on.

Liang Shaolong, who knew very well how frightening his cousin's madness was, obviously warned Li Ye.

At least during this period of time, according to his observations, Li Ye no longer dared to observe Luo Xiazhi's every move in the dark with those fiery eyes, and was also trembling with physical contact, not daring to overdo it.

"Not what? Do you know who Xiaoye likes?"

Luo Xiazhi put on a curious expression, "Tell me, who is it?"

"It's... an acquaintance."

Gu Hanlin thought about it, and said "tactfully", "A person we know who is definitely older than Li Ye."

"...Li Ye likes a mature older sister?"

Luo Xiazhi opened his mouth wide, "Little Feiyan?"

Ah, then he has many rivals in love.

It is said that there are already more than 200 people registered in the "Aifei" club, not only men, but also a lot of female fans.

"It's Liang Shaolong..."

Gu Hanlin decided to die as a fellow Taoist rather than as a poor Taoist.

Anyway, Liang Shaolong and Li Ye also had an affair, so he was not "creating something out of nothing".

"Where's my gun..."

After hearing this, Luo Xiazhi reflexively pulled at his waist, and then remembered that his golden left wheel was given to Li Ye for self-defense.

"Where's your gun? Didn't bring it? It's okay. Let's go back to Shanghai and ask my elder brother to get me another one. I don't believe I can't shoot him!"

"No no, calm down, there is something to discuss, Liang Shaolong is pretty good."

"Not a bad fart! The cabbage that is so big in my family was crushed by a husky, it can't be done!"

"Ha Qiu!"

Thousands of miles away, Liang Shaolong was about to go to Nanyang by boat at Guangzhou Railway Station to inspect the rubber plantation he bought, when Liang Shaolong suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and then sneezed loudly.

It's August now, and here's Guangzhou!

"It's so hot and you'll catch a cold..."

While wiping his nose with a handkerchief, Liang Shaolong said suspiciously, "Isn't someone...hehe, thinking about me?"

It would be even better if it was Li Ye!

The author has something to say: Yes, Xiaoxiao will be the only heir of the Luo family!

In addition, we are going to shift from light industry to heavy industry, and chemical plants, chemical fertilizers, and rubber industries are on the agenda.

Of course, the main stage of the story is still in the department store.

A preview of the next chapter, "Beauty in Japan".
