Chapter 94 Tokyo and Shanghai

On summer nights, the climate in Tokyo is very pleasant. The wind blowing from Tokyo Bay is blowing, turning the summer heat of the day into nothing. In the streets and alleys, you can see those in kimonos or suits everywhere. In addition to the tall Europeans and Americans, there are also some people in Western clothes who are extremely conspicuous. What is conspicuous is their braids.

These people are students from the Qing Dynasty. They came to Japan to learn the way of self-improvement. They purely to absorb new knowledge so that they can learn to become the work of the country, so as to solve the crisis of the country and seek the prosperity of the country.

For the Qing Dynasty, the most shocking thing was the First Sino-Japanese War. The First Sino-Japanese War shocked the Qing Dynasty, which was the emperor, and the whole country was greatly stimulated. This defeat was shocked by China, far exceeding the Sino-British and Sino-French battles since the Opium War.

Since the beginning of the Opium War, China has been invaded by the Western powers. After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Eastern powers have joined the ranks of invading China. Therefore, some intellectuals and young people who are worried about the country and the people are eager to explore the reasons for the speed of the capital, and some members of the imperial court also want to learn from the experience of the capital to make China's change quickly effective.

The ruling group of the Qing Dynasty said that it was gradually decaying and degenerating. Although there were new actions to improve the map in China, under the suppression of the powerful feudalism, the Westernization Movement and the Wuxu Reform all ended in failure. All kinds of contradictions in China are gradually pointing to the rotten [***] rule. It is in this situation of internal and external troubles that Chinese students began to cross the east and began their career of studying abroad.

Although the tide has only been in the past three years, thousands of people have studied abroad in Japan in just three years, and the schools for Chinese students have also sprried up like bamboo shoots after rain. Among the people studying abroad, there are not only young men, but also women wrapped in small feet and old people. There is even a scene of father and son, brothers, sisters and families studying in the East.

"Qing Guo Nu!"

He took off Lu Shi's military uniform and walked on the street in a suit. Occasionally, he spit out contemptuous words from those people, which only made New Yongjian frown, and suppressed a little anger between his eyebrows. Whether the braid behind his head was Lu Shi or on the street, he earned these three words for him.

From students who serve the country after learning to revolutionaries, in addition to the external propaganda of the retreaters and revolutionaries, they often benefit from the environmental influence of the host country. For these students, what kind of environment they are in is an environment that is always ridiculed as a "Qing national slave".

Last year, when the Japanese army invaded the capital, hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo held a lantern parade to celebrate, any slightly patriotic international student, when he was sad and angry about the current situation, worried about the broken mountains and rivers, and afraid of the fall of the race, then looked at the Qing court's "meamounting the material resources of China and building the favor of friendship" in the newspaper. Their conscience also awakens some of their consciousness.

National consciousness!

After the First Sino-Japanese War, there was a heat wave of studying China in Japan, and various research associations or other groups were set up to study and investigate the actual situation in China. On the surface, it was beautiful for goodwill and save the East, but in fact, it was a curse. Among all kinds of books studying China, the massacres during the entry of the Qing Dynasty, such as the ten massacres of Yangzhou and the three massacres in Jiading, are even more common. The pain of history, the danger of the current situation, and the charm of the imperial court directly stimulate their national consciousness.

As the U.S. Consul in Shanghai said, Japan is training violent revolutionaries to subvert the Qing Dynasty.

The awakening of national consciousness directly affects many people, and then makes them complete the sharp transformation from students to revolutionaries. New Yongjian is one of them.

With the anger in his heart, he turned into a typical Tokyo alley. Those white powder can be seen in the alley. This area is mostly Jiliao. For official international students like New Yongjian, who hold a monthly allowance of more than 30 yuan, if they come here to spend one yuan, they can find a room, drink while drinking and keep a girl's tone. Love is also a pleasant thing.

Especially during this summer vacation, these Jiliao are frequent places for official international students. Of course, there are people who come here for drinking and having fun, and there are also people who are indifferent to the current situation and revolution. This kind of place is mixed with fish and dragons. There is Jiliao boss as a cover for them, and there is no need to worry about safety.

As soon as Fang opened the door, he saw that there were already five or six friends sitting in the house.

"Filial piety, you're finally here!"

Sitting up from the tatami, Qin Yuxiao greeted New Yongjian, who had just entered the house with a smile. Ye Lan, Zhang Ji, Shi Jiuguang and others gave up a seat for him.

As soon as he sat down, New Yongjian put the newspaper in his hand on the wine table and drank a glass of sake.

"Gentlemen, I'm going back to China tomorrow!"

The people in the room listened to this and looked at New Yongjian in surprise.

"Xiaozhi, why are you doing this!"

Qin Yuyu asked in surprise. Ye Lan, Zhang Ji, Shi Jiuguang and others also looked at him. He returned from China in less than three months. Why did he have to return to China again?

"Look at this newspaper!"

New Yongjian pointed to a corner of the newspaper. This is the newspaper he bought by the roadside when he came out of Lu Shi to go to the appointment today. Unthink it, he saw a news in the newspaper.

"Chen Moran, chairman of the industrial company, was arrested!"

Qin Yuqi was shocked when he saw the name. He was not unfamiliar with the name. When the cherry blossom fake New Yongjian came back from China, he always said excitedly, "He met a revolutionary", and the revolutionary was Chen Moran.

And the reason why they were so impressed with this person is that in addition to the words relayed by New Yongjian, perhaps the most important thing is that New Yongjian visited the "tycoon revolutionary" in Chen's house before returning to Shanghai. He didn't expect that he did not return in Nanjing, but his servant gave him 3,000 dollars to New Yongjian, saying that it was a newspaper. Yes, the servant of Chen's house said that his husband gave it to him when he visited, which was used to report the need of enlightenment.

It is also thanks to this money that they formed Qizhi magazine and distributed it to international students to promote the revolution. The beginning of the magazine is "Jiangchuan Encounter" written by New Yongjian under a pseudonym.

At the beginning, they did not expect that the "Jiang Ship Encounter" would cause a sensation in the whole Japanese book, but when they read the full text of the news and reprinted the "Jiangchuan Encounter", those scholars all marveled at "a hundred-year-old surname in one word". Similarly, "If you want the happiness of civilization, you must go through the pain of civilization, and this pain, It's called revolution, "Why is it unfortunate to be born in China?" "If the revolution succeeds, the republic will not necessarily come, and if the republic will come, the country will not be rich and strong! If you are rich and strong, the country will not necessarily cook clearly!", it also spread among international students, even among the Xinists and revolutionaries, and even become a tool to attack each other.

Jiang Chuan's chance encounter with Mr. Cane also became famous in Japan. Similarly, in only three months, Qizhi magazine has a circulation of as many as a thousand copies, becoming the largest international student magazine.

"After talking with Mr. Chen, Yongjian was always thinking about Mr. Chen's words in his mind. Although it was only a few words, he solved the confusion in Yongjian's heart! ......"

When New Yongjian spoke, he was full of respect on his face.

"Today, because of China's affairs, Mr. Yang, angrily beat the foreign director in prison. Yongjian, and he should return to China to seek to save Mr. In this way, he will live up to his advice! Live up to the meaning of the revolution!"

Qin Yuyu, Ye Lan, Zhang Ji, Shi Jiuguang and others looked at each other and didn't think that Niu Yongjian would be so radical.

"Filial piety, in fact, you don't have to do this at all. Outsiders may not know it, but you and I all know that Mr. Cane is different from others. With his fame and financial resources in Shanghai, I think those foreigners may not be able to take advantage of it..."

Qin Yuqi was not half of his persuasion, but New Yongjian shook his head and interrupted him.

"All of you don't know that Yongjian has long regarded you as a teacher. If you are in prison, you will try your best to rescue him!"

How could New Yongjian not know with Chen Moran's financial resources? This case may be easy, but he still has a secret in his heart that he has never told anyone. That day, on the ship, Chen Moran once denied that he was a revolutionary, and this time, the reason why he wanted to go back to Shanghai was not so much to rescue Chen Moran as to see whether the person he regarded as a "mentor" had changed.

Qin Yuyu, Ye Lan, Zhang Ji, Shi Jiuguang and other five people listened to this and looked at each other, as if they were making a decision. Finally, they gritted their teeth and looked up at New Yongjian. Blue Sky, who had never said a word, spoke first.

"Then... we will go to Shanghai with you, and we can take care of each other!"

"This..."

New Yongjian looked at the six friends he cited as comrades in surprise.

"Yes! Just in time, when I go to Shanghai, I will wait to see Mr. Cane's elegant demeanor, and secondly... That is, if you are taught Mr. Cane, there be no reason to abandon me and enjoy it alone!"

Shi Jiuguang said this, which attracted everyone to nod with a smile, regardless of the surprise on New Yongjian's face.

"Good! In that case, let's order a boat ticket now!"

When the six young people in Tokyo who were full of crazy "revolutionary friendship" made the decision to return to Shanghai to rescue Chen Moran, they were far away in the study of the main house of Xiao Yanjin but Sassoon Garden in Shanghai, facing the Jacob with the name of "venomous snake"? Sassoon.

Jacob? Shasun looked at Xiao Jianren, who was sitting on the chair, and there was no strange look on his face.

"Mr. Xiao, you should know that Mr. Chen's behavior is undoubtedly challenging the dignity of all Westerners in the whole concession!"

The words are plain and there are no waves, that is, it can be seen that he is angry or repulsive.

"Mr. Sassoon, maybe you don't know that my boss is just an impulsive young man!"

Xiao Yiren smiled with him towards Victor on the opposite side? Sason, take a look.

"Just like Mr. Ling, young people will always do something on impulse, and they will obviously forget the consequences when they are impulsive!"

Seeing that Victor seemed to be a little dissatisfied, Xiao Yan quickly changed his mouth.

"Of course, unlike the upbringing of your son, my boss is not far away from a young master who was born in a rich family and spoiled by his elders, so he caused the current disaster in the Bund Park because of Mr. Charlie's sarcasm."

When he said this, Xiao Jianren apologized in his heart. He thought that the elders of the Chen family would certainly not blame him for choreographing them here to save Chen Moran.

Vickert snorted coldly beside him.

"Hmm! Can an impulse solve all the problems? Now Mr. Charlie is still lying sick**!"

"Of course, of course not!"

Xiao Yuren nodded affirmatively.

"We will definitely compensate Mr. Charlie. Please trust our sincerity."

"In that case, you can go to Mr. Charlie, can't you?"

Jacob? Shason said lightly and looked at the newspaper on the table. The newspaper could also see the "tragedy" outside the gate of the Bund Park yesterday afternoon. Thinking of his pig's head when he visited Charlie yesterday, Shasun couldn't help but be happy. The cripple almost killed him.

"Mr. Sassoon, now only you can persuade Mr. Charlie to give up suing my boss! So I came to ask you for help!"

"Do you need the help of a foreigner? If I remember correctly, doesn't your industrial company need the help of foreigners?

Jacob reminded Xiao Jianren with some meaning. Pudong development, all for the Chinese office, not fake foreign stocks!" This is the propaganda slogan of the industrial company, but now it has become the reason for Sassoon to respond to Xiao Yanren.

"Mr. Jacob, the first phase of the Pudong project requires 4,700 tons of construction steel, and there are still 3,000 tons that have not been signed with the foreign bank. Our company is willing to hand over this order to the Sassoon foreign bank!"

Xiao Yiren hesitated and did not respond to Shaxun's words, but offered the benefits of Xu to Shaxun.

"Mr. Xiao, I need to remind you that the reason why the Jews can achieve today is entirely due to the unity of the Jews. Will we sacrifice the rights and interests of our brothers for a little benefit!"

In Jacob? While Sassoon was still silent, Victor answered for his father.

Although there was a refusal in his words, Xiao Qianjian still heard that Victor deliberately added two words "a little" when he spoke. These greedy Jews obviously felt that the conditions he had not been able to let them come forward.

Greed is the essence of the Jews, but this essence allows them to come forward to help Chen Moran as an intermediary to persuade Charlie to give up prosecution and choose to reconcile in private.

This discovery made Xiao Qian's heart reassured at the same time. Sassoon's greed is a good thing, but if there is no end, this good thing will become a bad thing.

"Mr. Victor, I don't think this has anything to do with selling your brother's interests. Even if you come forward to coordinate this matter, you are also defending your brother's interests!"

"Oh!"

Shasun's father and son answered, looked at Xiao Yuren and waited for him to continue talking.

"If my boss was sent to prison by Mr. Charlie, then out of face-to-face considerations, our industrial company can only compete with Mr. Charlie's foreign business without remembering the cost. Although Xiao has no other self-confidence, I believe that in Shanghai, no company or foreign bank's financial resources can compete with Compared with industrial companies!"

Xiao Qian looked at the two greedy poisonous snakes in front of him confidently.

"If it's a bad competition, I think we will also intervene at that time!"

"If you want to see the situation of both defeats, I can clearly tell Mr. Shasun that Mr. Chen comes from a rich family. As a Chinese, face is more important than anything else, far more important than money!"

Take a deep breath, Xiao Xiaoren sits up straight and no longer accompanies him like his husband. "Mr. Shasun has been in China for decades. I think he should understand that the Chinese people pay most attention to face. Although Mr. Chen grew up in the United States, he also does not change the Chinese people's tradition of good face. It is you who have the kind of losing competition. I don't want to see it. If Mr. Sassoon comes forward to mediate this matter, it is undoubtedly defending Mr. Charlie's interests and helping him!"

Listening to Xiao Yan's words, one old and one young, Shasun are smiling in their hearts. These Chinese people are always like this. They always like to play word games and decorate a very simple thing with wonderful words to hide his true appearance.

But the same, just like the Chinese, for Jews, no matter what he says or does, there is only one reason in the end. For the sake of profit, it is the same now. From beginning to end, Jacob? Sassoon did not give up the idea of robbing in the fire.

He was silent for a while and watched Xiao Yanren slowly speak out his conditions.

"Manager Xiao, I have a piece of land in Pudong!"

Hearing the word Pudong, Xiao Yuren was just shocked, and the most worried thing still came.

"Didn't your industrial company collect land in Pudong recently? My land has a total of 3,439 mu. I think the market value of this land should be 2.8 million. What do you think? Manager Xiao!"

Jacob? Sha Xun's words only made Xiao Qianren breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the greed of this old thing has an end. His land was originally in the acquisition plan of the industrial company, but only the price... But this is acceptable, Chen Moran! Chen Moran, your punches were good, but I didn't think how much money would be knocked out!

He sighed at Chen Moran's prodigal in his heart. Xiao Yuren nodded and smiled bitterly.

"Of course, our industrial company is willing to buy Mr. Sassoon's land for 2.8 million!"

"Dad, why don't you take the opportunity to raise the price again!"

After Xiao Yan left, Victor's rhetorical question only made Jacob? Sassoon looked up at his son.

"Our purpose is not just to sell land for a sum of money, but we have added more than half a million. Maybe we will drive to five million. As long as we can get Chen's freedom back, they will take out the money, but if this matter affects the industrial company's plan to develop Pudong, we may earn millions, but we will lose tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!"

Jacob when talking? There is no doubt about the greed in Sassoon's eyes. Maybe there is a contradiction between him and Chen Moran. Although he also hopes in his heart that the lame person will be in prison for the rest of his life, now the lame man is still of a little use to him. As long as he thinks that the lame Pudong will bring to the Sassoon family, he always has nothing. The law controls the inner greed.

Greed is always good! Muttering this sentence in his heart, Shasun raised the corners of his mouth, but a cold look flashed in his eyes.
