Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

"Tell me, if the boss beat Nogi Hiroshi that day, wouldn't he not have to dive to commit suicide to keep his innocence?"

"It's hard to say, that Nogi Hiroshi is so perverted, who knows what will happen to him that day? We are all normal people, there is no need to speculate on crazy thoughts."

It was rare to hear Luo Xiazhi make such naive remarks, Gu Hanlin shook his head and smiled.

The Zhen Guo Gong Mansion in Beiping is still kind to his descendants. Not long after the telegram of the boss's distress was sent to the Wang Mansion, the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion sent people to Shanghai to pick him up.

The boss has been taken care of by many theater fans in Shanghai during this time. During his recovery period, some theater fans have paid out real money to support him. Not counting his basic necessities, his theater troupe has also been arranged to be accepted by the theaters in Shanghai.

When returning to Beijing this time, there were many ordinary people who were not fans of his movies, and were outraged by Hiroshi Nagi's actions, and went to the train station to see him off.Luo Xiazhi and Gu Hanlin are one of them.

"Hiroshi Nagi's reputation in Shanghai is getting worse and worse. Look at those people who came to see the boss off just now, many of them are well-known businessmen and factory owners in Shanghai... What did he do to be so hated?"

During these two months, Rorschach was not in Shanghai.Looking back, I feel that the situation is a bit confusing.

"I don't know much about the business world... You'd better go home and ask your elder brother."

Gu Hanlin slowly shook his head, "Speaking of which, the business situation in Shanghai should be good recently. Before that, many factories and stores were facing closure, but recently many have come back to life. There are more stores open on this street, and the popularity is also booming. Get up, and prices subside."

"That's a good thing..."

After seeing off the boss, Luo Xiazhi and Gu Hanlin walked to the Waibaidu Bridge.

"Gardenia, white orchid, buy one for five cents. Sir, do you want (do you want) a gardenia?"

A little girl carrying a bamboo basket with blue calico on the basket walked up to the two of them and asked courteously.

"Okay, let's have a bunch of gardenias."

Luo Xiazhi was in a good mood today. He lowered his head and picked out a bunch of juicy and fragrant bouquets from the girl's basket. He handed the girl a bouquet, and the little girl left gratefully.

"You still like this?"

Gu Hanlin smiled and said, "Like a little girl."

"It's my mother who likes gardenias. I will send someone to bring them back to my mother in a while, and pin them on the skirt of the cheongsam, so that she can feel better when she plays mahjong."

In the future a hundred years later, there will still be flower girls selling gardenias on the streets of Shanghai. Unfortunately, they are all white-headed old women who hang around the subway entrances and exits. They specialize in slaughtering foreign tourists from other places.

After receiving the gardenia from his son, Bai Fenghuang's luck in playing cards today was indeed "penetrating the Changhong", and the Luo mansion was full of laughter and harmony.

It's a pity that the mood of other people in Shanghai is not as good as that of Bai Fenghuang.

At the same time that Luo Xiazhi went to the train station to see off someone, "Black Girl" Yu Meihui appeared on "Tianwaitian Radio Broadcasting Station".

At the end of a "Stars Face to Face" interview program, Yu Meihui announced that she was about to take a break from acting, resigned from all positions in Shimai Department Store and Roche Entertainment, and returned to campus for further studies.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Shanghai was shaken.

Knowing that Yu Meihui was going to do a show, many of her fans gathered in the glass studio on the seventh floor and downstairs of Shimai Department Store, wanting to see her beauty.

After hearing the news of her retirement, these movie fans immediately became agitated and rushed to the seventh floor to ask for an explanation.In addition, people kept rushing to Shimai Department Store from all directions, wanting to confirm the authenticity of this news.

Luo Xiazhi knew that things would develop like this, so after Yu Meihui announced the news, he immediately sent someone to take her away from the safety stairs at the back of the building, and drove directly to the presidential suite of Seventh Heaven International Hotel.They also sent special personnel to guard the elevator entrance on the top floor to prevent excited movie fans from making trouble and endangering her personal safety.

When Luo Xiazhi and Gu Hanlin broke up and rushed to the Seventh Heaven Hotel, at least a thousand movie fans had gathered outside the hotel, and most of them were girls in their 20s.

They stood outside the restaurant, holding up Yu Meihui's flower card, and kept calling Yu Meihui's name.The momentum is astonishing, the earth shakes and the mountains shake.

"Yu Meihui! Yu Meihui! I love you!"

"Liang Shanbo! Feng Suzhen! Don't go, don't leave us! We will die of grief!"

There were a few girls who were particularly excited, crying and crying.Weeping like rain, trembling unceasingly, and even passed out in the end, causing another commotion.

At the same time, reporters who received the news also flocked one after another.

Now the hottest "female son-in-law" is going to take a break, the value of this news is simply too great!

Luo Xiazhi sneaked in from the back door of the hotel and arrived at the press conference venue that had been prepared long ago.

"Are you ready?"

Luo Xiazhi turned his head to the side, looking at Yu Meihui who was nervous but determined.

"kindness!"

The latter nodded emphatically.

The door of the conference hall was slowly opened, and only media reporters with press cards were allowed to enter at first.But because the public opinion was too excited, several presidents and main cadre members of Yu Meihui Fan Club had to be allowed to enter the venue.

"May I ask what is the reason for Miss Yu's retirement? Is it because you are planning to get married?"

"Is it because of physical reasons? Is it because of too much work pressure?"

"It is said that your factory was sued maliciously before. Is it because of this reason that you chose to leave the film?"

Reporters were aggressive and fans kept shouting.

"Be quiet, be quiet!"

Luo Xiazhi hurriedly picked up the microphone, "For the specific reason, please listen to Ms. Yu's explanation! Please don't speculate!"

The yelling of the crowd gradually subsided, Yu Meihui nodded gratefully to Luo Xiazhi, and took the microphone in front of her.

"...That's it. I am very grateful to countless movie fans for their love and care for me in just over a year, as well as Mr. Luo for taking care of me. After I succeed in my studies, I will continue to return to Luo's to serve China. The film and television industry has contributed to this."

Yu Meihui stood up and bowed while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

"Woooooh, don't go abroad to study. We can't bear you..."

"I miss you too..."

Suddenly, there was a lot of crying on and off the stage.

The reporters kept pressing the shutter to record this important scene.

A little impatient, I wrote the manuscript on the spot, called Jiaoli to send it to the newspaper office, and prepared to grab the headlines.

Almost everything that needs to be said has been said, and Luo Xiazhi sees that this is almost the end of the process, and it is time for the preparation to end like this.Suddenly an unknown person stood up.

"I don't agree! I don't agree with Miss Yu leaving the film industry!"

A young man in a white suit and with his hair combed with oily hair raised his right hand and stood up.

"I firmly disagree! If Ms. Yu leaves the film industry, I will lead someone to set fire to Luoshi Entertainment!"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

"Who is this? He's talking nonsense in front of Mr. Luo?"

"No way? It's a big deal not to watch movies, what's the fire?"

"Is this a threat? He's threatening Mr. Luo!"

Luo Xiazhi was also taken aback, watching helplessly as the young man who was originally sitting in the last row of the conference hall aggressively pushed away a group of reporters, walked up to him and Yu Meihui, and put his hands heavily on the press conference table.

"I don't agree, absolutely not! If Ms. Yu disappears, I will take people to commit suicide!"

"You... who are you?"

Yu Meihui looked puzzled.

Just now he said he was going to set fire, but now he said he was going to commit suicide, it's too scary.

The young talent is in his early twenties, neither tall nor short, with thin skin and tender meat.Under the beautiful long eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes have a unique style, which is comparable to Meihui's men's clothing.

"My name is Toshika Miyamoto. I have admired Ms. Yu for a long time. I have watched all your movies. This time I came to Shanghai from Japan specially to see Ms. Yu with my own eyes. Please take care of me."

As he spoke, he took half a step back and bowed to Yu Meihui.

"Oh Cena, it's a Japanese!"

"This Japanese has something wrong with his brain, his brain is out of order..."

After Nogi Hiroshi's "battle", Yu Meihui almost had a psychological shadow on the Japanese.Seeing this person behaving so strangely and saying that he was dying, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Luo Xiazhi.

"You are not a reporter, nor a member of the fan club. How did you get in?"

Luo Xiazhi opened his hands, blocked Yu Meihui behind, and shouted, "Security! Security! Get this person out!"

"I'm from the 'Fan Club'! I'm the president of the 'Yu Meihui & Zou Xuaner Shuangshu Fan Club Tokyo Branch'! If you don't believe me, watch this!"

A man named Toshiki Miyamoto took out an envelope from his pocket, opened it, took out the jammed paper inside, and showed it to Luo Xiazhi and the others.

"It really is..."

Shu Wenfei moved his head closer, looked at the card and said.

"Here, my cousin and I organized a movie fan club. Just half a year ago, I received a request from Japan to open a branch, and my cousin was very happy to approve it. Oh, so you are the president!"

"It's down!"

Toshi Miyamoto nodded, "The Chinese-Japanese translation of "New Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was done by me. As for the fan club, there are currently 2000 people in Tokyo."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Shu Wenhua clapped his hands happily, "Third Lord, didn't Hollywood buy the rights to North America and Europe for our "New Butterfly Lovers"? When it's released in foreign countries, maybe we can still receive applications from American and European chapters." Woolen cloth!"

"Are you happy?"

Rorschach's face darkened.

Usually this girl handles things in a prudent and proper manner, what kind of madness is she posting today!

"It will definitely! This day will definitely come! "New Butterfly Lovers", as well as Ms. Yu and Ms. Zou, are the pride of the Asian film industry. World famous as well!"

Miyamoto Jun seemed to have found a confidant, and excitedly wanted to hold Shu Wenhua's hand.

"Don't move your hands and feet!"

Luo Xiazhi slapped his paw away, "I don't care what kind of president you are from the Tokyo Fan Club or what. Ms. Yu has already made the decision to quit the movie, and it's useless for you to use any threats!"

"You are the general manager of S&M Entertainment, Mr. Luo Xiazhi?"

"It's down!"

Rorschach raised his chin.

Miyamoto Jun already looked at Luo Xiazhi arrogantly, "You are such an idiot!"

Clam?scold me?Are you sick?

Rorschach raised his eyebrows.

"What! The Japanese called Mr. Luo a 'fool'?"

"Little Japan is in a daze! After all, this is Sanye Luo's hotel, get him out!"

"Of course you're a 'dumb', and very stupid."

Miyamoto Jun has already pretended to straighten his clothes, showing a dismissive expression, "You have opened such a large entertainment company... Oh, I heard that you also opened a department store. But this does not prove that you are a smart person .”

"Oh, then you're talking about how 'stupid' I am."

Stopping the security guard who was rushing up to pull people away, Luo Xiazhi smiled instead of anger, wanting to hear what "good opinion" he had.

""New Butterfly Lovers" has achieved great success worldwide, and the overseas distribution of "The New Son-in-law" is also in progress. Seeing that the combination of these two female stars is about to become the world's first-class super combination, no wonder Knowing how much glory and brilliance it brings. To give up at this time, it's not something a 'fool' would do, so what would it be?"

Miyamoto Jun already looked Rorschach up and down with disdain, "It is because of your stupidity that these two talented actresses did not get the glory that belongs to them! If it were me, I would not only strike while the iron is hot, but They create more tailor-made film works. They will also take the filmed works to Japan, Europe, and American film associations. Participate in various award selections, so that they can win the real "actress". What an honor—not like you, who only let them shoot some rain boot commercials and cigarette commercials! What a waste of talent!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted through his nostrils.

"Hearing this way, what the Japanese said seems to make sense!"

"Yes, they should enter Hollywood. Why didn't the third master run for them before..."

Hearing what the Japanese said, other movie fans also started to discuss.

"In the final analysis, Mr. Luo is a department store owner. It's a joke to make a movie, so he didn't fight for the best resources for Ms. Yu and wasted her."

"I heard that the contract he signed with Ms. Yu was a saleswoman's contract... So this time, if he said he would let him go, he would let him go, and he would treat it as a loss of a toothpaste seller. This is too unprofessional..."

"That's right, that's right, and the 'Heimei Toothpaste Factory' had an accident before. Logically speaking, a professional entertainment company should have come forward to settle it. As a result, the incident got so big that it ended in nothing, and Luo San was never seen. Grandpa came forward..."

"unprofessional……"

The movie fans were already very dissatisfied with Yu Meihui's sudden retirement, but now they were instigated by the Japanese, and some people actually thought that it was all because Luo Xiazhi was not as professional in running an entertainment company as he was in running a department store.

Although Rorschach did not mix in the "fan circle" in his last life, he also heard about fans attacking the entertainment company where the idol works.

Unexpectedly, in this life, I actually met in the Republic of China era 100 years ago, and it was actually an overseas fan who took the lead in making troubles, which makes people laugh and cry.

"I said it has nothing to do with you. Security, get people out. Everyone, the press conference is over, everyone leave!"

Luo Xiazhi said, while instructing the security guards to come forward to separate the crowd, he took Yu Meihui's hand and walked towards the back passage.

"Miss Yu, you can't go!"

Miyamoto Toshi hastily stopped their way, "Miss Yu, join my film company! I promise to make you a superstar! Let you stand on the top of the world! If you want to be a director, it doesn't matter, I can arrange for you to do it. Relevant course training, but please don’t stop, please!”

"After a long time, you actually came to 'poach corners'! It's a pity that I thought you were my own just now!"

Shu Wenfei was furious and pushed him away.

"Miss Yu! I am the vice president of 'New Era Film Co., Ltd.', please join our film company! I promise to give you the best future!"

Saying so, Miyamoto Jun took out his business card, "Miss Yu! Leave 'Roche' and join 'New Era'!"

"You! You bastard! Boss!"

Shu Wenfei screamed, "This person is from 'New Era Yinghua'! The Japanese are poaching roles!"

As soon as this remark came out, the reporters were even more excited.

That's great, the news about Yu Meihui's death was already a gimmick, but now the Japanese film company has stepped in. Now, Shanghai Beach is full of excitement!

"There is something wrong with the Japanese... Could it be that the Japanese are not normal enough to come to my territory and poach people in front of me!"

Back at Luo Mansion, Luo Xiazhi became more and more angry as he thought about it, and turned around three or four times with his arms crossed, but still couldn't let go of his anger.

He was worried about Yu Meihui's consolation, so he arranged Li Ye in a hotel, and asked him to take someone with him to ensure the safety of the black girl on the one hand, and on the other hand to resolutely prevent the possibility of the Japanese harassing her.

"What's 'poaching'? They're bullying our Roche firm."

After lighting a cigar, Luo Yunze's complexion was dark, and his tone was sombre that he had rarely seen in the past two years.

"Business firm? Brother, what did they do?"

Luo Xiazhi was taken aback. He always thought that under the management of his eldest brother, the firm had been making steady progress and expanding every year. He never thought that the firm would have problems.

"Today, Ito Tatsumi, the chairman of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, also came to visit our firm in person..."

Luo Yunze raised his hand, and wrinkled the wrinkles between his brows.

"He wants to take a stake in our trading company."

"what?"

"I rejected him, saying that Roche has strong capital and is operating well, and has no plans to expand the IPO in the near future."

Even though he said so, judging by Luo Yunze's expression, he could guess that the scene at that time must be very ugly.

"Is the Japanese Chamber of Commerce eyeing us?"

Rorschach said worriedly.

"It's more than just targeting us. Recently, many companies and factories in Shanghai have been targeted."

After dusting off the cigarette, Luo Yunze frowned and said, "The Japanese used to set up companies and factories in Shanghai, just to compete with us, but now they actually want to get involved in companies run by Chinese. It's not just Chinese... I heard that, Even the foreign trading companies of Shatong and Solo have been 'visited' by the Japan Chamber of Commerce."

Sha Tong is the largest Jewish real estate businessman in Shanghai. The land from the main road to the Bund is his property, and his foreign firm is also the largest commercial firm in Shanghai.

As for Solo, he is the owner of the largest real estate developer and construction company in Shanghai.Not only Rorschach's Shimai Department Store and Seventh Heaven Hotel, but also Modern Department Store and Sakura Department Store were designed and constructed by Solo's company.

A small Japanese chamber of commerce dares to challenge these two "Big Macs" that have been operating in Shanghai for nearly 30 to [-] years!

"Are they... wanting to 'joint stock'?"

Thinking of the conversation with Gu Hanlin on the Waibaidu Bridge this morning, Luo Xiazhi suddenly realized.

"So the reason why those small and medium-sized companies that were not in good business conditions recently 'resurrected from the dead' is because they were bought by the Japanese? Have they become a Sino-Japanese joint venture company?"

"It's fine if it's a 'Sino-Japanese joint venture'. Many companies are actually just using the name of a Chinese legal person, and they have completely turned into Japanese companies."

Luo Yunze let out a long sigh, "Do you still remember the article questioning 'what is a Japanese product'? Launching an attack on public opinion is only the first step. They have already started the second step!"

"'What is a Japanese product'? A company disguised as a Chinese company that produces and sells goods, is it considered a Japanese product..."

Hearing this, Luo Xiazhi raised his head slowly, "It's Hiroshi Nogi, then this is the article he wrote. He... finally made a move..."

This person is terrible. He has only been in Shanghai for half a year, and he has sent people from the scientific research institute to collect geographical data, and he has quietly eroded the commercial and economic market that Shanghai is most proud of.

What else does he want to do...

"I rejected them this time, and the group left with a smile on their face."

Luo Yunze put out the cigarette butt, shook the shawl on his body, and stood up, "The next time I come to the door, I don't know what will happen."

Sakurako Tsubaki, Hiroshi Nogi...and Toshika Miyamoto who suddenly appeared today.

One, two, three...not a single fuel-efficient lamp.

"what!"

Rorschach shouted depressingly!

"Son, what are you doing? Don't be scary in the middle of the night."

Holding a bowl of freshly stewed red dates and bird's nest soup, Bai Fenghuang walked into Luo Xiazhi's room.

I saw him use both hands to hug the mahogany hanger by the corner, and let out a painful roar with a distorted face.

"I, I think this coat hanger is a bit of a hindrance to walking..."

Luo Xiazhi let go of his hand in embarrassment, turned his head, shook his sore arm, "I want to move it to the wall."

"Hey, this kind of thing, I will call the servants to do it tomorrow. You are a young master, and you can't do this kind of rough work."

Bai Fenghuang put the bird's nest soup on the small marble table beside the room, put his arms around his son's shoulder dumbfounded, and rubbed his arm.

"That is a rosewood coat hanger, and the edges are wrapped with copper sheets, so it weighs two to three hundred catties."

She patted her son's frail shoulder, "Where can a young master like Nong who has no strength to restrain a chicken be able to move it? Tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to find a driver or a gardener to do it. Really, silly boy, what? So stupid!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers and nodded Luo Xiazhi's head.

"Two to three hundred catties...wrapped with copper sheets..."

Luo Xiazhi picked up the bowl, drank the sweet white fungus soup, and repeated in a daze.

So... when fighting with "Lao Ma Hemorrhoid Ointment Miss", the black girl must have been more than a little merciful, right?

The author has something to say: start to pull, Nogi Hiroshi has started to exert strength~~Of course, his death is coming soon.
