Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

After the Lunar New Year, the second film invested by Rorschach has also started shooting while the iron is hot.

The opening ceremony of the film and the opening ceremony of the entertainment company prepared by Luo's firm were arranged to be held on the same day in the auditorium of the Seventh Heaven Hotel.

When the crowd surrounded Luo Yunze and the male and female movie stars who were invited to the opening ceremony, and pulled down the red curtain in the middle of the stage to reveal the glittering golden signboard below, Gu Hanlin who was applauding almost popped his eyes out.

"Xia Zhi... is your elder brother serious?"

He slowly turned his stiff neck, looking at Luo Xiazhi sitting beside him as if asking for help.

Because the film company nominally belongs to Luo's, Luo Xiazhi didn't go up to steal the limelight from his elder brother, but just sat down and applauded.

Hearing Gu Hanlin's question, he sighed helplessly, "Seriously, very seriously..."

On the stage, under the Chinese name of "Shanghai Luoshi Entertainment Investment Company", there is a super eye-catching line of English - S&M Entertainment Company.

"My elder brother admires the big "S·B" logo of Mr. Shao's film company. He thinks it is eye-catching and stylish, so he came up with such a thing."

"That can't be..."

Gu Hanlin had nothing to say.

"I objected, and I said it would be good to translate Shimai into SMART, which is very catchy, but my elder brother insisted on using the current one. He said that S is Super, M is Money, and together they are supermoney, which is 'Make big money', good luck!"

Rorschach raised his hands high to show his innocence.

"Your elder brother is confused, can others not see it? There are so many people who are good at English in Shanghai Beach... Does everyone have a conscience?"

Gu Hanlin asked his soul.

Facts have proved that in front of the capitalists who "make big money", these gangsters in Shanghai have no conscience and no dignity.From directors to stars, to tabloid reporters, they all raved about the English name of Luo's Entertainment, almost to the sky.

Luo Xiazhi closed his eyes, thinking that if I did a particularly good job, maybe a hundred years later Roche S&M and Shaw S·B will be recorded in the annals of history together and become legends in the film industry!

The script of Roche Entertainment's first film this year has been polished for nearly three or four months.The "smoke, fog, and bombs" in the early stage were one after another, making everyone in Shanghai feel itchy.

Luo Xiazhi released some news about the movie in his own magazine every now and then.

Today it is said that Yu Meihui and Zou Xuaner have already started to tailor their clothes to prepare for the new play, and the two heroines are wonderful.Tomorrow it will be said that Zou Xuaner's schedule cannot be matched, and Yu Meihui's partner may be replaced.The day after tomorrow, it is said that whether it is a drama with two heroines, there is no conclusion yet.However, the leading actor has already been decided, and it is the handsome boy Zhou Dan.Zhou Dan also responded that he is happy to cooperate with Roche, and hopes to bring surprises to everyone.

Wave after wave, the "fandom" of later generations of entertainment companies was moved to more than 100 years ago, causing these movie fans who had never seen anything in the world to be surprised.

Yesterday I was as happy as the Chinese New Year, shouting Long Live Luo Sanye, Yu Zou is true!Today, he threatened to blow up Roche Entertainment and Shimai Department Store, and let this black-hearted businessman go to hell.

And what the hell is Zhou Dan, we don't need a male lead, thank you.

Moreover, the timing of each news release is just right-as long as "New Era Films" makes a little move.For example, before and after the opening ceremony, the announcement of the signing of new actors or the preparation of a new film, these news about Roche's new film will immediately occupy the front pages of entertainment newspapers of all sizes the next day, pushing the news of the new era to the corner Go to the dried tofu column.

No one would have thought that the behind-the-scenes leader of all these gossip and fan news is actually Ms. Long, the bosom sister of "Shi Mai SMART"!

This cousin of Ms. Shu is simply born to be an entertainment career talent. Not only is she talented in writing, she can wear multiple "vests" to write essays, and each "vest" corresponds to a very different style of writing.One person, one pen, is a marketing and public relations team, which can be defeated by thousands of troops.

Moreover, she has a very good relationship with a group of small channel reporters in Shanghai who specialize in news about celebrities, actors, fans, and dance halls, and she can always get all kinds of news in the circle at the first time.Of course, in return, Editor-in-Chief Long also often "properly" released the latest news about Roche Entertainment or Miss Shi Mai's election, and exchanged information with them.

Later, Luo Xiazhi learned from a chat with Shu Wenfei that the Beijing opera martial arts student Lou Tianjiao, who was once popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and then became silent, and who is now in decline, is her cousin who brought it up with one hand and then wiped it out with the other. dropped——

When Lou Tianjiao first came to Shanghai to sing operas from Beiping, due to physical reasons, he didn't go to various theaters and aristocratic families to "go to the pier" at the first time. As a result, he almost fell to the point where he had nowhere to take part in operas.

Who knew that he had nowhere to go, so he could only sing in a small tea house, and was bored by writing articles. Ms. Long who came out for a walk saw it.

Ms. Long went back that night and used three pseudonyms to write three articles with completely different styles, and contributed to different entertainment newspapers and magazines, saying that they saw a "relict pearl" in a teahouse in Shanghai.

Lou Tianjiao became popular just like that, and completely turned around in the Shanghai Bund Liyuan circle.

I never thought that after Lou Tianjiao became famous, he would actually step on a few boats and have emotional entanglements with many female movie fans.After being found out by Editor-in-Chief Long, who specializes in persuading people to break up and divorce, it only took a few reports to make him disappear from the rivers and lakes.

Perhaps Lou Tianjiao himself still doesn't understand why he became popular and why he was lonely.

Hearing Luo Xiazhi's admiration, this knife really kills people invisible.On the other hand, he secretly worried that it would be a disaster if he offended this legendary cousin one day.

The cousin will not let you die, but will make you "socially dead".

In short, with the "gun" of Editor-in-Chief Long, Roche Entertainment has for a long time suppressed the new era movies supported by Dachun Trading Co. Lots of splashes.

Luo's Entertainment is doing a great job here, just waiting for the new film to start filming for the audience.Over there, Rorschach's investment in the north and south lines is also frequently reported.

Fan Dongli sent a telegram. After almost two years, the factory building of Neptune Chemical Company in Tanggu, Tianjin has been basically completed, and the machines for producing ammonium sulfate are basically in place. The first batch of domestic fertilizers will be produced in May this year!

Since the Jiangnan area is a land of fish and rice, and most of the funds for the investment and construction of factories come from the gentry and merchants in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, it is hoped that Luo Xiazhi can help open up the market at that time, so that the people can accept domestic fertilizers as soon as possible, so as to revitalize the country's agriculture.

For this point, Luo Xiazhi of course fully agreed, and immediately called to express his full support and cooperation. If possible, please further expand the production scale. It would be even better if he could open a factory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The scene of the poor harvest of autumn grain the year before last and the subsequent snow disaster, which caused corpses all over the field, and Shanghai beach full of victims, is still vivid in my mind.Although luck has been good for the past two years, and the grain situation in Jiangnan is fairly stable, who knows what will happen next.

Although chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been criticized in later generations for destroying land and polluting the environment.But in this era when it is not easy for people to have a full meal, it is better to fill your stomach first and then consider other issues.

In Guangzhou, the former Secretary Zheng Jiesen and now the current factory director Zheng also sent news.The construction of the first phase of the rubber factory has also been completed, and it is just waiting for Rorschach to go south to cut the ribbon.

The scale of this factory is not very large. It can only process raw rubber and produce simple raw rubber sheets.Of course, Rorschach's ambition cannot be satisfied.In his goal, he wants to make rubber tires domestically produced!

Luo Xiazhi decided to go to Hainan after going to Guangzhou to cut the ribbon this time, to see if there is a possibility of building a rubber plantation in China.

Originally, he also planned to go to Yunnan. After all, the climate there is hot and humid, which is very suitable for the growth of rubber.

However, the situation in Yunguichuan is very unstable, and several warlords are fighting to the death.For safety reasons, this idea was finally dismissed.

A few years ago, because he only did business in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, Rorschach didn't have any special feelings.Nowadays, with the expansion of business, it not only spreads all over the country, but also extends overseas.The more so, the more Rorschach lamented the difficulties of businessmen and industrialists in this era.

The difficult situation they are facing is internally riddled with holes, self-government, the country is weak and the people are poor; externally, the great powers are eyeing each other, encircling and carve up China in various ways, and want to put China to death.

In this way, not only to survive in the cracks, but also to plant a fire of hope in this devastation, to seek variables and a way out...

Hey, the road is difficult, the road is difficult, the divergent road is safe now!

Luo Xiazhi also hopes that the day when "long winds and waves will sometimes hang on the clouds and sail to help the sea" will come soon!

Before that, he will use all his strength to make the country's industrial and commercial foundations more stable, and more stable...

On one side, Luo Xiazhi's career has been booming all the way, on the other side, a new crisis is quietly brewing.

Former idol Liang Shaolong has been nesting in Suzhou recently to build a new factory, and he hasn't come to Shanghai to harass Luo Xiazhi for a long time.

A few days ago, I suddenly called and said that in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, many people saw city people appearing in villages and mountains with various detection instruments and surveying and mapping tools.

They are very good at Mandarin, and they are all dressed up as cultural people. They bought local guides and asked the villagers about local history, special products, and even myths and legends.In short, everything is exhaustive and everything is covered.

As soon as Luo Xiazhi heard it, he felt that something was wrong, so he sent his men to inquire about the places Liang Shaolong had mentioned.The result surprised him—these people were all under the name of "Shanghai Institute of Natural Sciences", and on the surface they went to the countryside to collect folk customs and investigate folk customs.In fact, they are exploring water conservancy and mines in various mountains!

Because the name cards they presented had the word "Shanghai" printed on them, and they were acting like an official, the local people had no doubt about him, and they basically knew everything about him.

Over the past few months, I have surveyed and mapped the topography and landforms around Shanghai.

"I knew this 'Institute of Natural Science' is not a serious place, but it turned out to be a 'bridgehead' for aggression in the name of research..."

Luo Xiazhi said bitterly.

"Do you know who is leading this survey and mapping activity?"

Gu Hanlin put the information on the table, clicked on the file folder, "Nogi Hiroshi who asked three times 'what is a Japanese product'."

"It's him again? Isn't he in charge of researching economic issues? Why does he also take care of geographical surveys?"

Thinking of this person, Luo Xiazhi felt uncomfortable.

When he came out of his second brother's house that day, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this man's speech and tone were weird everywhere, which made people get goosebumps when he thought about it.

He originally thought that he was thinking too much, but he asked Li Ye later, and Li Ye also said that it was true.

This Japanese has an evil taste everywhere.

"I asked a few teachers who have business contacts with their scientific research..."

Gu Hanlin's face was solemn, "This person has great power in the research institute. Although he is only a committee member in charge of economic investigation in name, it is said that even the senior director and even the deputy director of the research institute respect him."

"The Japanese are very strict about respect and inferiority. He is so young, if he didn't have a high status, how could those old men be so respectful...Hanlin, do you have friends in Japan, can you find out the status of their Nogi family in Japan?"

The more Luo Xiazhi thought about it, the more something was wrong, "I met with my second elder brother on the anniversary of his death. He said that his family has been in the army for generations, and his father and elder brother are both soldiers. I think their family is notable, even if they are not a wealthy family. wealthy family."

Gu Hanlin nodded, "I have some old friends who are still in Japan... You are right, this person is not simple. I will send a telegram to Tokyo and ask them to inquire about it for me."

These two people have already become wary of Hiroshi Nagi, while Hiroshi Nagi has all kinds of obsessions with Luo Xiazhi.

"After farewell to you, there will be endless sorrows. We will be together forever. There are many obstacles between us. The water is far away and the mountains are far away. I am heartbroken. I wait for the sound of Lang's voice in the end. After the spring, the smoke and water are boundless, and the plums are green and turning yellow."

Standing at the window of the office on the fifth floor, Hiroshi Nogi watched the lush green in the yard downstairs become more and more radiant under the blowing of the rain, and couldn't help but meditate on the song "Picking Mulberries".

"Sir, your Chinese proficiency may not even match that of many Chinese people."

Standing behind him was his secretary, a handsome young man in his 30s named Suzuki Tomo.Hearing that the boss was able to master this not-so-famous ancient Chinese poem so easily, he couldn't help but praise in admiration.

"More than 90.00% of the current Chinese are illiterate. It is completely different from Japan where we have implemented mandatory compulsory education and even women can read and write. My Chinese level is better than most Chinese people, there is no doubt about it. "

Nogi Hiroshi unceremoniously accepted this subordinate's compliment.

The Suzuki family has been retainers of the Nogi family for generations.In his generation, his elder brother followed Nogi Hiroshi's elder brother into the military.And he, following his younger brother Hiroshi Nogi, first applied for Tokyo Imperial University to study economics, then studied in Germany, and finally came to Shanghai.

"Suzuki-kun, I remember you are in Osaka, do you have a fiancée?"

Nogi Hiroshi brushed the newly-placed blue velvet curtains with his hand, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That woman, do you miss her?"

Ever since he came back from Tsubaki Yingko's house that day, he felt that the original curtains in his home and office were uncomfortable and not elegant enough.

So Suzuki asked Tsubaki Yingko where to buy custom-made blue velvet curtains, and wanted to buy the same style.Knowing that it was the fabric brought back by the couple during their honeymoon in France, Suzuki sent someone to France to bring back the fabric, and changed the curtains in the home and office.

Now, he touched the soft fluff of the velvet cloth and smelled the dampness in the air.

His thoughts seemed to go back to that day, standing by the window of Chun's house, feeling the shuddering throbbing that made his heart almost numb.

"The lady from the Nakamura family and I were just a matchmaker. I didn't meet her until I came to China this time and had a cup of coffee with her."

Suzuki smiled indifferently, "It's not a matter of nostalgia."

"That's such a pity..."

Hiroshi Nogi walked back to the table and picked up an invitation letter with a purple border on a white background and light perfume.

"Tsubaki Yingzi is going to open a new branch of Sakura Department Store on Xiafei Road, and it will open next month... That Mr. Luo, should be here by then, right?"

He said, holding the invitation under his nose.

Then he tossed it aside with disgust.

"Have you found out what perfume Sanye Luo usually uses? I described it to you last time, the smell of spring grass after the rain, with some sandalwood fragrance. It is pure and seductive."

Nogi Hiroshi is a serious paranoid, especially very obsessed with details.

Touch, taste, even the angle of light.

If possible, he wanted to reproduce everything he felt when he and Luo Xiazhi first met.

Let him "reminisce" completely when he misses him.

If the sound of the monks chanting scriptures was not too noisy and disturbing that day, he even wanted to send people to Jing'an Temple to record the voices of the monks doing their homework and chanting scriptures with the latest tape recorder.

"Rorschach's perfumes are all high-end custom-made models imported from France. The perfume workshop only accepts private orders. Twice a year, through the buyers of Roche Firm in France, they deliver perfumes to the Luo family on a regular basis."

Knowing what kind of "hobbies" his "master" has, Suzuki has collected all the information he can find out about Luo Xiazhi and even the Luo family.

"I have already sent someone to contact the owner of the perfume workshop. They said that they can use the remaining raw materials to make a temporary batch for us. It is estimated that the finished product will arrive in Shanghai in two months."

"Two months...it's really long..."

Nogi Hiroshi made two "pushing" sounds, and then let out a deep and long sigh.

"Time is the best catalyst. Let it slowly drive away my 'love'."

It was more than just "love", he felt that he was completely infatuated with this beautiful young man, and he was almost crazy for him.

"Another point……"

Suzuki hesitated for a moment, and placed an envelope in front of Nogi Hiroshi.

"This is a photo of Mr. Luo that we have been tracking and taking for the past few months. I found out that he has a close relationship with Director Gu of the Shanghai Education Bureau. It is said that they made a 'worshiping brothers' almost ten years ago..."

"Sworn? The 'Three Knots of Taoyuan' in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

Hiroshi Nogi blinked, "One is a businessman and the other is an educator. How did they get together?"

He opened the leather envelope and saw a dozen photos of Luo Xiazhi.Close-ups, long-range shots, and even headshots are all inclusive.

There were those who went in and out of Shimai Department Store, those who went near the Qichongtian Hotel, and those who went in and out of Luo Mansion.There are also photos of going to various restaurants, dance halls, and even occasionally going to "Shuyu" and Changsantangzi to socialize, dancing and drinking with ladies.

But there are still many photos of him in the Summer Palace, or at the entrance of a small villa.Almost without exception, in the photos, besides the young secretary beside Luo Xiazhi was the young and vigorous Director Gu of the Education Bureau.

Not to mention, there are many photos of the two of them going in and out of bookstores, restaurants, and even parks alone.

"Will the Chinese 'righteous brothers' be so close?"

Rubbing Luo Xiazhi's handsome side face on the photo with his hand, Hiroshi Nogi asked suspiciously.

"And according to Chinese customs, these two people have long passed the age of marriage and childbirth, but they are both single. For people like Luo Sanye and Director Gu, it is very unbelievable."

Suzuki pointed to the photo and said respectfully, "Mr. Luo, he had a blind date before, and there were rumors of sex with some women. But this Director Gu, who was born in a medical family, has never had any sex in more than 30 years." The record of being in love is really unbelievable.”

"Interesting..."

Hiroshi Nagi shifted his gaze from Luo Xiazhi to Gu Hanlin.

"This Director Gu, I also had a relationship with him once. At that time, I just thought he was young and promising, with a vigorous spirit that is rarely seen in Chinese people. I really didn't expect that he and Mr. Luo , there is still such an 'entanglement'..."

He was silent for a while, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Continue to investigate, and make sure to find out what the relationship between the two of them is."

"Hi!"

Hiroshi Nagi picked up a photo casually, it was the moment when Gu and Xia walked out of the "Yipinxiang" fan restaurant on Sima Road and walked to the commercial printing bookstore next door.

This photo was taken very well, and it must have been a good day. The sun shone on the two handsome men with their own merits, reflecting their happy smiles.

"One is a beauty who controls the lifeline of Shanghai's economy, and the other is a beauty who holds a high position in the government at a young age..."

Putting down the photo, he leaned his back to the back of the leather chair, closed his eyes and smiled,

"When I was in Tokyo, I heard that Shanghai has the title of 'Magic City'. Looking at it now, it is really beautiful, fantastic and charming..."

The author has something to say: The Shanghai Institute of Natural Sciences, located in the former French Concession, is a research institute for Japan to investigate and study various types of intelligence for its invasion of China.The address is now at No. 320 Yueyang Road.It is a very beautiful building.It is now the Institute of Biochemical Cells of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
