Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

In the Luo Mansion, it was very lively today.

After finishing her film tour meet and greet in Peking, Yu Meihui returned to Shanghai yesterday.A group of her sisters greeted her in the French restaurant of the department store, and it was very lively.

Early this morning, she brought her father to the Luo mansion again to thank her, and by the way, pay her respects to the Western calendar year.

Bai Fenghuang and Xiaoxiao also love to watch the movie invested by their own family.When Bai Fenghuang was young, he sang Yue opera, and it was Xiaosheng who played the role of Xiaosheng. He also played Liang Shanbo, so he happened to communicate with her.

As for Xiaoxiao, I heard that their girls' high school already has Yu Meihui's fan club.As soon as Yu Meihui came today, she took out a stack of photos and asked Ms. Yu to sign her name so that she could take them to school as gifts to her good sisters tomorrow.

The female guests here are happy and happy, and Boss Yu is also full of emotions over there.

"Since she graduated from middle school, she has been doing nothing all day long. Either she is an actress, or she is chasing stars. She looks like a 'female playboy'..."

Thinking of his daughter's appearance a year ago, Boss Yu shook his head frequently, "I don't have any thoughts about her at all. Girls, just find a husband's family as soon as possible, get married and live. Who knows, how long will it take?" , to be so sensible. This is all thanks to the third master, and thanks to your company. "

Among other things, the sales volume of "Heimei Toothpaste" has doubled in this year.With the sails of Luo's firm, they were sold all the way to Southeast Asia, and even the United States!

Sitting opposite him, Luo Xiazhi and Luo Yunze also laughed.

Where, thanks to your daughter.In the past year, whether it was Shimai Department Store or other industries under the name of Roche.That's a reputation that spreads far and wide, Fuze overseas, rich in wealth, and orders.

Just last week, a producer from Hollywood in the United States actually came to contact with Luo's firm, wanting to introduce the romantic tragedy comedy "New Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" to the United States, and wanted to buy this movie in Europe and distribution rights in the Americas.

You know, since the opening of the first movie theater in China, it has always only purchased movies from Hollywood for screening.The fashion of Westerners is fashionable, and the fashion of Westerners is fashionable.Who would have thought that, in a turn of fortune, Hollywood in the United States would take the initiative to ask China for the distribution and screening rights of movies!

As soon as the news came out, there was another burst of wind in the newspapers in Shanghai, and all kinds of praises were endless.Someone actually used this to prove that "New Butterfly Lovers" was the first to open up the trend, to promote the country's prestige, and to sweep away the humiliation of the country for many years, which is a proof of the revitalization of the country.

Even the braggart Luo Xiazhi was too embarrassed to claim it, so he hurried to find the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, telling him not to let this person talk nonsense in the newspaper anymore.We have already paid for this person's manuscript fee, so let's not publish the article, the trend of "praising and killing" is really bad.

"Manager Luo, I may have to terminate the contract early."

After signing dozens of thick photos here, Yu Meihui rubbed her arms and came to the living room to join the conversation of these men.

Miss Luo didn't wear men's clothing today, but a neat dress with a simple style and elegant style.

Although it is still dark as always, it is the taste of "healthy beauty" respected by foreigners. The skin is full of luster, and the figure is vigorous and attractive, just like a deer running on the prairie.Especially when she was smiling, she could feel the sunshine spreading from her body, making people feel better unconsciously.

"Damn girl, what are you talking about?! That's why I praised you for being a little more sensible, why are you acting like a demon again?"

Master Yu almost performed a heart attack in Luo's living room on the spot.

Luo Xiazhi was not surprised at all.

As for female stars, it would be strange not to change jobs after becoming popular.

What's more, what they signed was not an artist contract, but a salesperson contract in a department store.Now that Yu Meihui is in full swing, there must be a professional film and television company who wants to poach her.

But seeing her father jumping up in a hurry, it seems that there was no discussion at home.

"Which film company do you want to go to? You tell me, and I will give you a reference."

Luo Xiazhi really likes this little girl who is different from most so-called "Shanghai ladies". She can have a good future, and he is also happy for her.

"No...I want to go to school."

Ms. Yu was taken aback for a moment, but immediately knew that Luo Xiazhi had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "It's not about job-hopping. Although... During this period of time, there are quite a lot of film companies, large and small, who have contacted me. Oh, and the Japanese Where's the people's film company. What's it called... 'New Age'?"

Luo Yunze snorted and lit his cigar, "This Japanese is quite fast."

The "New Era Film Co., Ltd." invested by Dachun Trading Co., Ltd. has not yet opened, but it has already begun to poach people.

"Study? Are you planning to go to university?"

Speaking of which, Luo Xiazhi still felt guilty.

It has been two years since Li Ye graduated from university, Xiaoxiao is about to go to high school, he will soon become the one with the lowest education in the younger generation of his family, what should I do...

After so many years, I don't know if St. John's University still wants to own it.

"Hey, I didn't think about it either..."

There were elders and bosses in front of her, and Yu Meihui didn't dare to sit casually, she could only stand and scratch her head, coupled with her heroic expression, she looked even more masculine.

"I want to learn how to make movies. But I don't know where I can learn it. Director Hou said that he studied literature at school, and later learned to direct dramas, and was finally recruited by Shao Erye to a film company to become a director."

Yu Meihui narrated the feelings of filming commercials and movies during this period. The love in her eyes and the longing in her words made Mr. Yu hear that this girl is really obsessed with movies.

But generally, little girls like movie stars and movie plots, and she likes the filming and production process.

"Third Master, I want...I want to do work related to movies, but not just actresses...I, I want..."

After some hesitation, Yu Meihui was silent for a few minutes, and suddenly announced with wide eyes, "Yes! I just want to be a female director, and I will make movies by myself! Dad, I finally know what I want to do—I Be an artist!"

"Well……"

The men in the living room fell silent.

They are all businessmen, the difference is only small businessmen and big businessmen.The goal and pleasure of life is to make money, even if you invest in making movies, it is to make money and make more money.

Art is not art, it seems... a little far away...

For example, after the success of "New Butterfly Lovers" this time, unscrupulous businessman Luo Xiazhi organized wave after wave of activities, continuously cutting fans' leeks.

While letting several leading actors continue to tour the country to spread their influence, they also launched a variety of literary and artistic peripherals.

For example, the original soundtrack of "New Butterfly Lovers" was released, which included all the songs and music in the play, and it was also sold in limited quantities, making it "hard to find" all over the country; for example, the full-color "New Butterfly Lovers" was released. The photo-real picture book reproduces the plot of the movie in a way that is almost a comic strip; in addition, several representative clothes worn by the actors in the play, as well as important props in the play, are now displayed in the In the small exhibition hall outside the Seventh Heaven Cinema, you need to buy a ticket to watch it.

The most unbearable thing is that the location where "The Loutai Meeting" was filmed was the garden on the top floor of Shimai Department Store.Now this garden has been turned into a "Liang Zhu Experience Garden" by Luo Xiazhi.After tourists pay, they can wear the same costumes of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the play, and take pictures here...

The weather in December, the wind blowing on the roof makes people runny noses uncontrollably.The vegetation on the upper floor is withered, without any sense of beauty.

In fact, when the movie was filmed, it was already the end of October.Although there was a small sunny spring this year, and the sunshine in autumn was fair, the scenery upstairs was not as good as in spring and summer.The scenes of flowers and trees in the movie are all drawn by artists...that is, black and white, it's just hard to see.

In this way, I still don't know how many boys and girls come to the top floor garden to "pilgrimage" and take pictures every day.It is said that appointments have been scheduled until May next year.

In this "simple era" when the film and television industry and the entertainment industry had just started, everyone was coy about hyping celebrity scandals, and it was rare for Luo Xiazhi to directly harvest the wallets of fans like Luo Xiazhi.

The executives of several established film and record companies in Shanghai were amazed.

While admiring his quick mind, scolding him for having no conscience, the whole person got into the eyes of money... Then he turned his head and told his subordinates, did you see that?Did you learn it?

Next time, follow Mr. Luo's method!

"Well, I still have a notebook in my hand, only you are suitable for the performance."

Luo Xiazhi never hindered others from pursuing their dreams and futures, not to mention that Yu Meihui wanted to study, so she simply decided to let her go.

"After you finish that movie, we will start the promotion of the second 'Miss Shimai'. When the newcomers come up, it's not too late for you to leave."

After the opening of "New Era Films" at the end of this year, it will definitely recruit people and shoot movies non-stop.He wants to deal another blow before their new movie is released, so as not to let them release the movie smoothly!

For this upcoming "cultural invasion" bridgehead, Rorschach also has his own plans.Now that he has a big family and a big business, he has investments everywhere, and he really has no energy. He is serious about opening a film company and fighting the Japanese.

But he can completely set up a dedicated entertainment company, just in charge of investment and distribution, cooperate with existing large film companies, and invest in two to three films every year.

Then use the existing distribution channels of film companies to spread screens in China.As for the distribution of copyrights abroad, it is natural for the company's own Roche firm to control it.

Based on Luo Xiazhi's "previous life" as a TV drama child for more than 20 years, and the experience of viewing countless movies, he can fully guarantee that "Luo's products must be high-quality goods"!

"I'm waiting for you to 'come back from your studies' and become China's first female director—then come and direct movies for me!"

Seeing Luo Xiazhi being so "high-spirited and virtuous", Mr. Yu felt embarrassed.Pulling her daughter to promise time and time again, she will definitely live up to Luo Xiazhi's expectations, she must make movies, study hard, and repay him in the future!

Shimai Department Store, which is at the forefront of the national women's circle, has already flown out a "golden swallow" who is going to study abroad.

This time, maybe a "female director" will fly out!

Just as the Yu family father and daughter were sent away, before they could catch their breath, the housekeeper handed over a post.

When Luo Xiazhi opened it, he frowned.

"It's a post by Tsubaki Yingko. It will be the first anniversary of the second brother's death soon. She invited a monk to do a dojo at home, and asked me to go to their house in Hongkou to watch the ceremony."

"A Japanese monk was invited?"

Luo Yunze frowned.

"I don't know."

Luo Xiazhi was also quite curious.

I haven't seen you for a year, so what is this second sister-in-law's plan?

Luo Yunze sneered, "Let's go and see what scriptures the foreign monks recite."

To be honest, Luo Xiazhi was disappointed that he didn't see any foreign monks.

The first anniversary of Luo Muze's death is scheduled for the 27th after Christmas.

Since the morning, there has been a light rain in Shanghai, and there may be a little snowdrops mixed in the rain, which hit the umbrella and made a crackling sound.

In order to meet the "Japanese monk", Luo Xiazhi took Li Ye early in the morning and rushed to a Japanese-style house on Dou Le'an Road in Hongkou District, which was the residence of Chun Yingzi and Luo Muze.

Speaking of which, when Luo Muze was alive, his younger brother never visited his second brother's home.The first visit was actually on the anniversary of his death.Although he is a disgraceful elder brother, it is quite embarrassing to think about it this way.

This masonry building with yellow and black as the main color, with a touch of Dutch flavor and a touch of Japanese architecture, has a total of only three floors.Small and unique, it is actually not much bigger than Gu Hanlin's small villa.

Luo Xiazhi originally thought that the head of the dignified Dachun Trading Company must live in an extremely dignified environment, but the result was so unexpected.

"My father started from scratch, what he hates most is extravagance and waste, and his daily life is very simple. The children of the Chun family also stick to the family motto. Not to mention Shanghai, even the Chun family in Tokyo is far less prosperous than Luo Mansion and Summer Palace It's extravagant."

To show respect, Chun Yingzi held an umbrella and led a group of servants to greet her at the door.Seeing Luo Xiazhi's expression looking at her bungalow, Chun Yingzi said neither humble nor overbearing.

Luo Xiazhi was secretly teased by her, but she didn't feel angry.In my heart, I also admire the horror of the Japanese's perseverance and perseverance.

It's no wonder that the Tsubaki family has gone from selling bugs to becoming the owner of Japan's largest trading company in just two generations.Tsubakizaemon himself also started as a commoner, entered the house, and entered the upper class of Japan. It is not counted, but he can also help Japan's economic strategy toward China.

After entering the door, I swept away the water droplets that fell on my clothes, and saw that there were already monks kneeling and chanting scriptures in the hall.

Luo Xiazhi glanced at it, quite disappointed.

Where are the Japanese monks, they are all monks from Jing'an Temple.Every year on the anniversary of Luo Zhenhua's death, the Luo mansion also invites these people. They have been familiar with them for many years.

"I heard that Luo's family is going to invite monks from Jing'an Temple. I also specially invited these masters. I don't know if you are satisfied with it, brother-in-law?"

Chun Yingzi not only invited Chinese monks, but also a full set of Chinese funerals.Luo Xiazhi glanced hurriedly, and saw that the living room was not only surrounded by fragrant flowers, but also made paper figurines, paper horses, and various gold, silver, tin foil and paper money.If you don't say that this is a Japanese family, you may think that some ordinary family in Shanghai is celebrating the anniversary of death.

After putting incense on the second brother's photo, Luo Xiazhi moved upstairs to the study under the guidance of the Japanese maid.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a man in a black suit with a yellow chrysanthemum in his jacket pocket, turning around and smiling at him.

"Mr. Luo, hello."

Well, another Japanese who can speak Chinese.

"I thought today was a 'family sacrifice' and there were no outsiders."

Luo Xiazhi struck first, "So, is this a member of the 'Tsubaki family'?"

The man didn't expect Luo Xiazhi to say that, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

"This is the Nogi member of the 'Shanghai Institute of Natural Sciences'."

Tsubaki Yingko hastily stepped forward to introduce.

The man nodded immediately and said with a smile, "My name is Hiroshi Nogi. Mr. Luo, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

"what……"

Luo Xiazhi made a "sudden realization" gesture, "So you are my second sister-in-law... Hey, I mean, so you are sister Tsubaki Yingko's new boyfriend! Please take care of me!"

As soon as this remark came out, the two Japanese people on the opposite side were full of embarrassment.

That's right, when Tsubaki Yingko posted the post, she said that it was the first anniversary family festival, and it was just a simple ceremony at home, and no foreign guests were entertained.

Now there is a man in the family.Since they are not relatives of the Tsubaki family, who else could they be other than Tsubaki Yingko's "remarriage" object?

"No, no, uncle, you misunderstood."

Tsubaki Sakura hurriedly waved her hands dumbfoundingly, "This Mr. Nogi is my friend and a good friend of my husband's when he was studying in Japan. So I specially invited him to attend today's death anniversary."

"Oh... second brother's friend. I thought my second sister-in-law was going to remarry, and I was very happy at first. It's a pity..."

Luo Xiazhi pretended to sit on the sofa, and patted the seat on the side in an anti-customer manner, signaling Li Ye to sit together.

Li Ye looked at the funny faces of the two Japanese, suppressed a smile and sat beside Luo Xiazhi.

After all, Tsubaki Yingko is still a widow, this kind of ridicule is really too much for her.While ordering the servants to prepare snacks and tea, she took the opportunity to leave the study and left the room to Nagi Hiroshi and Luo Xiazhi.

In the final analysis, this meeting was also what Nogi-kun insisted on, and she could just bring the person along, and she didn't want to get involved too much.

This hateful Uncle Luo Xiazhi, and that arrogant Uncle Luo Yunze, neither of them are good things!

This is the first time for Nogi Hiroshi to see this young man who has dominated Shanghai for nearly ten years, and he is surprised that he is too young and too beautiful.

Although when he was in Japan, he heard that there was a rare business genius in Shanghai who turned upside down the muddy pool of Shanghai Bund at a young age.

Not only did he open a Universal Department Store, which is popular all over Asia, but he also raised a medium-sized general business to a world-class level.Now among the foreign firms in Shanghai, the old Jewish fox Shatong's firm is the Luo family's firm.

When Hiroshi Nogi was in college, he studied economics.

Speaking of it, he was young and ambitious, and now he is less than 40 years old, and he is already a doctoral lecturer in economics at Tokyo Imperial University.

In the second half of this year, he was even entrusted with an important task. He was sent to Shanghai, China, to join the newly established Shanghai Institute of Natural Sciences as a member of the economic research committee.

The main "research" objects are the economic and cultural conditions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty after the Gengzi period and the monitoring of China's economic dynamics today.

The relevant information about this "Rorschach" had been regarded as a "special research case" five or six years ago, and had been lingering on his desk for a long time.Basically, every month, news about Shimai Department Store and Roche Commercial will be handed over to him as soon as possible.

After the establishment of Sakura Department Store in Shanghai, the frequency of submitting information has been updated to once a week.Every time Luo Muze, Chun Yingzi and Luo Xiazhi fought, Nagi Hiroshi noticed it.

Hiroshi Nagi can confidently say that looking at the world, the person who knows Luo Xiazhi best, except for Jun Luo himself, is probably Hiroshi Nagi.

For him, every once in a while, according to the world situation and the trend of China's economy, he can accurately set new policies, new directions, and adopt new investment behaviors.While taking a lot of money, he also lays an industrial foundation for various aspects of China, and it is always going against the odds. This Mr. Nogi is also secretly frightened.

Fortunately, such talents are just businessmen and have not been absorbed into the Chinese government departments.Otherwise, with his genius mind and vision, if he enters politics, it will inevitably have unpredictable and terrible consequences for Japan's future China policy...

Speaking of this, Hiroshi Nogi also looks down on China's thousand-year-old tradition of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".

Their Japanese government established constitutional Westernization long before the Taisho period, and the country put capital and businessmen in a very important position, which led to a comprehensive economic improvement.And Japanese trading companies such as Otsubaki Trading Co., Ltd. are also regarded as the economic bridgehead of the Japanese government, rushing to the forefront of expansion plans one by one...

"Mr. Luo, you are really young and handsome. I have admired you for a long time."

Nogi Hiroshi said sincerely.

Although he had seen Luo Xiazhi's black-and-white photos, when the real person stood in front of him, he knew that the small photo could not reflect a ten-thousandth of the real person's demeanor.

The young man in front of him is full of vigor, with elegance and confidence in the corners of his eyes and brows.Seeing him, Hiroshi Nagi thought of a line from an ancient Chinese poem he had learned before - as bright as a jade tree before the wind.

The most important thing is that such a beautiful young man holds almost half of the economic lifeline of Shanghai in his hands...

When I think about it, this "beautiful" is not just "beautiful".Once the beauty is tied with money and power, it will be even more exciting.

Hiroshi Nogi's eyes lit up even more, and he didn't even realize that he had lost his composure.

"Hehe, where is it. Mr. Nogi's "great work" was also fortunate to read before I wrote it down. Speaking of which, it is also "famous for a long time" to you."

Hiroshi Nogi was observing Rorschach, and Rorschach was naturally observing him too.

This person is the Japanese who asked three times in the newspaper "what is Japanese product" before, and then forced the Shanghai Education Bureau, where Gu Hanlin works, to approve a sum of education funds for their Japanese schools in China.

He looked less than 40 years old, about the same age as Gu Hanlin.

Speaking of which, he could be regarded as a handsome man with regular facial features and a high nose bridge.A monocle is worn over the right eye and is attached behind the ear by a gold chain.

It's just that when Luo Xiazhi saw the mustache under his nose, he thought... Poof.

It turns out that there are really Japanese people with this kind of mustache in this era.No matter how you look at it, it is the image of a "ghost" in a TV movie, just like a "little devil".

Luo Xiazhi held back his smile, and observed that his behavior was majestic and dignified, especially when he was sitting as still as a mountain, and his eyes... Although his appearance was a bit strange, his eyes were still bright, so he asked his own question——

"Is Mr. Nogi a soldier?"

Hiroshi Nogi's eyes brightened.

"Mr. Luo, why did you say that?"

"I see that your behavior is very upright, so I ask one more question."

"No, Mr. Luo is very discerning."

Hiroshi Nogi raised his chin very proudly, "The Nogi family has been in the army for generations. Although I did not join the army, my father and brother are all soldiers. I have also regulated my words and deeds according to the standards of soldiers since I was a child."

"I see……"

Rorschach nodded.

Secretly thinking that this person actually has a military background, it seems that he should not be underestimated.

I have to figure out a way to kill him...

This Nogi Hiroshi was very excited to see Rorschach, and he really wanted to hear his opinion on the article he wrote in the newspaper last time.

But Luo Xiazhi didn't give him this chance at all. After exchanging pleasantries, he went downstairs to offer incense to his second brother, who is dead.

After burning the incense, he took Li Ye and Chun Yingzi to the yard to burn the tinfoil money so that his second brother could "benefit from the spring".

In fact, who knows whether Luo Muze will go to the underworld in China or the hell in Japan after his death.Whether he can receive these paper money or horses, really only God knows.

Because it was raining in the sky, the fire in the basin was lit for a long time before it was silent, and it also drew out bursts of thick black smoke, which made Tsubaki Yingko and her group of Japanese servants cough unceasingly, but they dared not speak out. , I could only grit my teeth and bear it, while secretly cursing the Chinese funeral customs are really terrible.

The black smoke drifted all the way to the study room on the second floor, and along with the black smoke, there was the sound of monks chanting scriptures as they beat bells, bowls, and drums harder and harder.

Namo Amitabha, Prajna Paramita, coaxing quickly in the room, thumping obediently, stir-fried green onions with leeks...

Ding Dang Dang Bang Bang, forming a strange "Song in the Rain", so loud that it makes people's brains hurt.

Standing by the window of the study, Nogi Hiroshi lowered his head and caught Luo Xiazhi standing behind Tsubaki Yingko with a smirk on his face. He was so smart and charming, and he was so excited to hold the blue velvet curtain beside him.

It wasn't until the ceremony downstairs was completely stopped, and Luo Xiazhi left with the young male secretary, that he put down the curtain cloth in his hand without further ado.

In fact, on the first day he came to Shanghai, he wanted to meet this genius.It's just that he really knows his temper too well, so he has been silently enduring it until now.After doing all the things that should be done in the early stage, I let Tsubaki Yingko introduce herself.

"poo."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier. He stared at the figure of Luo Xiazhi sitting in the car, patting the scattered raindrops on his shoulder, closing the door, and walking away.

"I really want to be the dew on the beauty's clothes, even if it's just brushed by his fingers..."

He closed the window, breathed out a warm breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: Unexpectedly, it is this kind of "Singing in the Rain".

Hey!The biggest villain of this article is here! If nen kills him, this article will almost be over.

That's right, this is a pervert hahaha!

Principal Gu, fuck him to death! !
