ideal era

25 Floating Life 3

The potted flowers in the misty rain building have all been replaced with ** with the change of seasons. The yellow petals that bloom closely together are afraid of the coolness of the autumn wind. ** The fragrance penetrates into Li Xiang's nostrils. It smells very good, but it is still not as good as the faint fragrance of Tang Yuewan's daughter. Li wanted to look at the people around him with his head tilted. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yuewan just asked inadvertently. He had arrived at the Yanyu Building, but he suddenly hesitated.

"Look at you!" Li wanted to blurt out this sentence. Looking at Tang Yuewan's eyebrows, Li wanted to quickly change his words. What position do you think you are suitable for?

Tang Yuewan looked at the tip of her dissatisfied eyebrows and turned into joy. "I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and I also learned four books and five classics. I have also studied foreign language, natural science, mathematics, geography, politics and law, and economics in the church..."

Li wants to see that she has learned so many courses with her fingers. Is that what she is proficient in? Li wanted to ask tentatively, "Why don't you do a clerical position in the general administration first?"

"What is the general government? What does the civil service do?" Tang Yuewan was very puzzled by these new nouns, and a confused look appeared on his beautiful little face, which was really a rare touching moment.

Li Xiang felt a trace of pride in his heart. He rarely had the opportunity to show off his skills in front of Tang Yuewan. He pulled Tang Yuewan's little hand into the Yanyu building and said, "Let's go upstairs. You will know when you see it."

Tang Yuewan followed Li Xiang into the small building in Yanyu. It seemed to be a quiet house like a virgin outside, but inside it was as noisy as a vegetable market, which had already exploded. Not only Tang Yuewan was stunned, but even Li Xiang was stunned.

The four headquarters of the command center are all crowded in this small building. Is it strange that it is not lively? The names of each department have been hung at the door of each door, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out of each door. Everyone was busy and working hard, but they didn't find the existence of Li Xiang. The small rooms were noisy, and in the room of the general ginseng, Li Xiang actually heard the shouting of feeding. They had already connected the telephone line from the Telecommunications Bureau and were auditioning! Li thought that if the radio station could, it would have been like them. Li couldn't imagine that he just went out for a walk, and their work efficiency began. With such desperate subordinates, you can rest assured to be a shopkeeper in the future. Li wanted to be excited for a moment, and his hand holding Tang Yuewan also trembled slightly. Tang Yuewan immediately felt something and shook off Li Xiang's hand. Li Xiang, who was dumped, recovered from his excitement.

The fallen leaves blown by the autumn wind swept by in the morning, and now they are covered with flower paths. The garden was full of melancholy, but no one paid attention to it.

The servants in the garden were busy preparing for tonight's dinner. At dusk, guests had come, and Liu's garden began to make noise. Liu Xinsheng is on behalf of Li Xiang to welcome guests in front of the gate. Li Xiang will also make a show when it is time to make a pose. Li wants to defeat the Qing soldiers in Liu's Temple last night. Now it is the momentum, so he should make full use of this momentum.

Those who received the invitation to the night banquet also know that no matter how the king's flag changes in Hankou in the future, at least what is inserted in the city is the banner of Li Xiang. If they want to eat in Hankou, whether they are legitimate businessmen or underground businessmen, it depends on his face. What's more, even Liu Xinsheng, the real estate king of Hankou and the leader of the underground gang, chose to compromise. Do they have any other choices? In fact, they didn't know that the boss behind Xinhua Foreign Bank, which has a good cooperative relationship with Liu Xinsheng, was Li Xiang, and they always thought he was a foreigner.

Liu Xin smiled when he met people and greeted the guests. The afterglow of the sunset shone on his well-maintained face, reflecting a red face. The greater Lixiang's momentum, the more profits he will naturally make. Now the braids on the back of his head have also been cut, and he has shaved a bald head by the way, shining in the sunset. The moon-white robe is still the same as before, and with a beard on the upper lip, there are a lot of old Jiang Gong's style.

A small setback in a black suit came from afar, and his shadow was pulled by the old man in the sunset, all the way to the other side of the street. His hair seems to have touched egg white, sparsely into a smooth and treacherous big back. His tight lips are raised high, and he can definitely hold a mouthful/burst teeth under his lips without verification. He is the top famous Black Dragon Club Ronin Samurai Temple Xi Xiuwu in the Eastern Concession. Liu Xinsheng knows him, and he is all fooling around on the road. Who can not know whom?

Liu Xinsheng did not invite him, but he came uninvited. He has been a foreign consultant for Hubei Admiral Zhang Biao. As soon as Zhang Biao was expelled by Li, he dared to come here. What on earth is he thinking?

Liu Xinsheng put down his doubts and still came forward with a restrained smile. Mr. Sixi has always been busy with official business. Why do you suddenly have time to come here today?

"I heard that Mr. Liu is holding a banquet here. He came uninvited. Please bother me!" As soon as Teranishi Xiuwu opened his mouth, it was indeed a mouthful/exploding tooth. He bowed and saluted. The modest can no longer be modest, the hypocritical can no longer be hypocritical, and the standard of Beijing accent is extreme.

Liu Xinsheng also wants to explore the purpose of Xi Xiuwu of the temple. I believe that Li Xiang will also be surprised by this unexpected visitor. Liu Xinsheng said with a long smile, "Welcome to the extreme. It's really glorious to welcome a distinguished guest like you. At that time, Mr. Sixi, don't dislike that my Liu's banquet is simple and not well received!"

Sixi Xiuwu learned Chinese boxing and said repeatedly, "There! There!"

"Mr. Terishi, please!"

Liu Xinsheng looked at the back of Su Xi Xiuwu and said to a trusted nephew on the right, "Go and talk to the marshal. Si Xi Xiuwu is coming."

His nephew was also a person who had been with Liu Xin for many years. He was flexible and knew that there was a wrong Dongyang small setback, and ran to the Yanyu Xiaolou to report the news.

The relationship between the Black Dragon Society and Sun Yat-sen is friendly, but this does not mean that the relationship between the Black Dragon Society and the Chinese people can also be friendly. Everyone knows that the Black Dragon Club is equivalent to a Japanese secret service organization. There is no free lunch in the world. The Black Dragon will help Sun Yat-sen. What is the hidden purpose? What's the dark story? No one can tell.

In Hankou, on the surface, the relationship between the Black Dragon Club and the revolutionaries is that the river is not good, and no one in the dark makes anyone happy. It is well known all over the world that the revolutionaries develop their power in the Laos Association. The elder brother's association and the Black Dragon will grab the territory and business in Hankou. Everyone knows the Hankou Road.

Black Dragon will take the Oriental Concession as the base and develop its power in Hankou. The elder brother will be the local snake here. Even the Qing Gang and Hongmen dare not interfere randomly. How can a group of elders of the elders tolerate the Black Dragon Association to do whatever they want? The two sides fought secretly for many years. The Eastern Concession was made into a yellow, gambling and drug concentration camp by the Black Dragon, and fell into a street, which is the most smoky place in Hankou. The Eastern Concession has become the only territory that the elder brother can't get involved.

But later Li wanted to appear and cooperate with Liu Xinsheng. Liu Xinsheng also took Brother Hankou to successfully transform and slowly began to focus on entertainment, real estate and finance. Yellow, gambling and poison are being robbed of a lot of business by the Black Dragon, and the profit is not as good as before. Little Japan has no other trick to make these three, but the goods are good and the price is cheap. Japanese women have thin skin and tender meat, and their kung fu is super first-class. Although their legs are short, what kind of short legs and long legs do you look at in **? They opened casinos, prostitutes, and drug dealers in the Eastern Concession. They didn't pay a penny of tax to the Qing court at all, but the elder brother's association did not have such a privilege. Therefore, the elder brother's association lost completely to the Black Dragon Club in the competition of the old three.

Li Xiang and Liu Xinsheng entered the entertainment industry, and Liu's Film Company was established. The first large-scale low-cost film caused a sensation in the silent film industry. The title of the film is Yang Naiwu and Cabbage, the Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. This is not only an anti-Qing movie, but also a second-level film. Unsuitable scenes for children set off a super whirlwind in the cinema, completely inheriting the style of Hong Kong's second-class film in the 1980s. This film, which can only be played in Hankou, Shanghai, Tianjin and other concession cinemas, has set off an unprecedented movie watching craze, which is better than holding a spring. While looking at the palace book, the thagi is more energetic. The cinema was fully broadcast 24 hours a day, and the box office rose steadily. Li Xiang and Liu Xinsheng made a lot of money. The protagonist of the film is also popular all over the country, especially the heroine. From then on, he walked out of the prostitute and became a socialite in Shanghai.

This film has made indelible contributions to the vigorous development of the film industry. People may think so in their hearts, but they will definitely not say so, especially those guardians. The Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty was completely covered by them in the newspaper. During that time, the pages of the tabloids almost became the brochure of the Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. Li Xiang was ridiculous for these free advertisements. How can these moral hypocrites be so detailed if they haven't seen the "Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty"? It's just that these criticisms did not reduce people's enthusiasm for watching "Top Ten Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty", but set off waves of movie watching crazes.

Of course, Li Xiang hasn't destroyed his conscience when he is making money. The film is released in China through the Brother Association, and it is particularly strict for minors. As long as it is found that there are minors watching the film in the cinema, the cinema will immediately disqualify the film. In this era when cinemas are not yet popular, it is easy for Li to do such strict management. With the name of "Top Ten Tortures in the Manchu Qing Dynasty" in China, it was released internationally through Xinhua Ocean Bank. This time, Li Xiang poisoned foreigners fiercely. I don't know how many foreign children have learned bad because of this Chinese movie?

Secondly, Li Xiang and Liu Xinsheng partnered to speculate on the land, so Liu Xinsheng became the real estate king of Hankou. In addition to Xinsheng Commercial Street, the Chinese merchant racecourse, which is as famous as the five foreign trade racecourse, is also their masterpiece. As for finance, Li Xiang is indeed engaged in some simple financial transactions through Xinhua Bank, but it has not yet reached a large scale. But for Liu Xinsheng, finance is usury. Li wants to be very disgusted with this, but Liu Xinsheng doesn't do it, and there are others who can do it. It's better to let Liu Xinsheng's own people to toss around. These three new models jointly created by Li Xiang and Liu Xinsheng have developed more vital financial resources and become the new foundation of the brother-old association. However, the antagonistic relationship with the Black Dragon Society cannot be changed. The Black Dragon Club also began to intervene in the new three, and the elder brother association did not give up the old three. Previously, Teraishi Xiuwu, as Zhang Biao's military adviser, also wanted to attack the brother-in-council that was closely linked to it indirectly by attacking the revolutionary party.
