Shanghai has now become the economic center of the Far East, thanks to the emergence of the public concessions. In the concessions, foreigners invest in public utilities, start schools and run newspapers. The concession authorities are responsible for municipal construction and promulgate a series of administrative regulations on the management of the concessions. The concessions have also become It is a window for the Chinese to understand and learn the system of Western culture.
Located at the estuary of the Yangtze River waterway, coupled with the situation of warlords fighting in various parts of China at this time, the area of the Shanghai Public Concession has become the most prosperous place in the Far East.
The Shanghai Concession not only attracted investment from many foreign businessmen and banks, but also became the first choice for many Chinese businessmen to develop.
The total import and export volume of the concession has always accounted for more than half of the country.
At this time, there were a large number of factories in the concession, accounting for almost half of the country, and there were more than [-] shops in the concession.
Dozens of Chinese and foreign banks, and nearly as many banks from Shanghai and other places, made the concession the largest financial center in the Far East after London, Paris, and New York in terms of capital operation and capital stock.
Row upon row of buildings with styles from various countries along the Huangpu River, and a city that never sleeps with lights and feasting. These Shanghai Bund styles that the world is familiar with actually happened in the concessions, especially the public concessions. It is precisely because of this that Shanghai has the reputation of "Oriental Paris".
"It's really sad that such a prosperous city is actually managed by foreigners!!"
"The Misfortune of the Nation—"
"Brother Yue, our Renjia Town will be prosperous like this in the future, right!!" Ren Tingting held Yue Zhenshan's arm, seeing his complicated expression, she couldn't help but cheer him up.
"Haha, Tingting, you are right."
This world is much more exciting than the previous life. It not only has science, but also supernatural science.If he came to this world with a golden finger, would he lose to the general trend of heaven? If he couldn't change the fate of this nation, wouldn't he come to this world for nothing?
Shanghai is prosperous, and Guangzhou will become its own territory in the future.Yue Zhenshan believes that Guangzhou will not lose to Shanghai, and we will see who can laugh at the end, and the "Oriental Paris" built by these foreigners will become their own Oriental magic capital.
"Tingting, where does your cousin live?"
"How do we get to my cousin's house?"
The main purpose of coming to Shanghai this time is to meet Ren Zhuzhu and get his grandfather (music zombie).
Yue Zhenshan didn't want to waste time, don't go late when the time comes, the zombies were wiped out by Uncle Jiu, and Ren Zhuzhu went back to the United States, so it would be a loss for his grandma's family to make a trip for nothing.
"My cousin's home is in Songjiang District, and there are still sixty to seventy kilometers away from here."
"Uh... so far?"
"Then let's rest for a night and know how to prepare two carriages before we go there."
It seems that the time is already in the afternoon, and there are no cars and subways nowadays. It will take at least a day to drive there for a distance of sixty to seventy kilometers. It is still dangerous at night, so it is best to travel during the day.
Chapter 096 The Crocodile Gang
"Wow, the pier in Shanghai is really lively!!"
Just walked out of the pier, the popularity of the Bund directly surprised Ren Tingting.
"Naturally, look at the Standard Chartered Bank over there, and Barclays Bank opposite it. They are both well-known big banks in the UK. The location of Shanghai is not only well-developed in industry, but also in the financial industry.
There is also ocean trade, which is also led by Shanghai.
The raw silk industry in China is basically distributed around Shanghai, and raw silk is one of the main commodities exported by China. The quality of raw silk is directly related to the selling price, and this place generates a lot of profits every year.
Coupled with the proximity to the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, industrial products sold by foreign countries, such as textiles, can be dumped along the Yangtze River waterway to several inland provinces.Look at the wharf over there, the goods sold by foreigners are shipped to other places by those compradors for profit. "
Following Yue Zhenshan's instructions, Ren Tingting saw hundreds of coolies at the wharf carrying goods.
On the other side of the pier, there is a bustling concession.
This place is like a flesh and blood workshop, devouring the fruits of labor of the people of China.
Prosperity and misery are as inseparable as conjoined twins.
"Brother Yue, look at how strong that man is."
"Um!?"
"he is......"
Looking in the direction Ren Tingting pointed, Yue Zhenshan suddenly found a very familiar figure.
This guy is carrying four sacks, and the bulging sacks are not light.
All the grains are transferred inside, one sack weighs more than 100 catties, and four sacks weigh about [-] catties.
And next to him was a gang member who was paying wages to the coolies who delivered goods in the middle of the night.
After Yue Zhenshan walked in quietly, he found that the cargo handling was over, and the coolies began to line up to collect their wages.
"Brother Gang, while others carry one sack at a time, I carry four at a time."
"Look at my wages, it seems that I have lost one share. What do you think is going on?" The young coolie, about 20 years old, found that the money given by the bookkeeper was wrong, so he approached the gang leader to ask.
"Recently, the competition in the dock business is fierce. You are also living under the crocodile gang. Why don't you know how to share everyone's worries? The lesser share is used to buy guys. Without guys, how can you fight with other gangs.
If you can't hold on to the business at the wharf, you coolies don't even try to find a place to work.It’s fine if you don’t thank our crocodile gang, you’re still fucking ignorant, do you want to make money at the pier next time? "
Approaching here quietly, Yue Zhenshan became more and more familiar with him. Aren't these two people the two characters in Kung Fu?
The coolie is Ku Liqiang in the Piggy Walled City in the original book. Now he is not working as a coolie in the Pigpen Walled City, but at the pier. If it is released according to the time, this guy will still be a coolie ten years later.
Or this is in response to the language of the charter woman, this guy has been a coolie all his life.
The other little gang leader, Brother Gang, is the future leader of the Crocodile Gang. This guy is still a little leader. The net of fate has already been prepared, but he doesn't know it as a player in the game.
"Brother Gang, my wife is about to give birth recently. If you can show me your hand, I'm only short of this dime."
"Please give me a way to survive!!"
"Okay—"
"Damn it, I'll give you an extra dime, and you get out of here first."
"Your wife will give it to you when she gives birth to a child. Doesn't other people's wives have children? This is not a reason. Next one, don't fucking say that your wife also has children. Dare to blasphemy and I will cut you off."
Although they are gangs, they are also bullying guys.
The coolie is strong against four packs at a time, obviously he is not an ordinary person.That's why he succumbed and gave an extra penny. Other coolies dared to pick things up like this. If they were mild, they would be beaten violently, and if they were serious, they would sink to the bottom of the Huangpu River.
Their crocodile gang is not doing charity.
"Shi Baiqing, did you see that coolie?"
"You go and ask him to come over, I'll give him a chance to change his fate." Yue Zhenshan and his group walked on the road on the Bund, seeing Coolie Qiang who had just returned from unloading goods at the pier with a bitter expression on his face, so he said to the guards beside him.
"Boss, is he also a martial arts master?"
"I didn't expect to be spotted by you, you have good eyesight, not bad—"
"Hey, it's all taught by you, boss."
The guards who came out together this time, including Shi Baiqing, totaled ten people.
When fighting sea monsters on the boat before, Shi Baiqing and the other five used the Blood Fiend Soul Eater Knife. When cutting off the sea monster's tentacles, the Blood Fiend Soul Eater Knife also absorbed the power of Blood Fiend. There is also no small gain.
"This... boss, are you looking for me?"
When he came in front of Yue Zhenshan, the coolie was a little cautious, and he knew that Yue Zhenshan was not an ordinary person when he saw Yue Zhenshan's clothes.
"Yes, I saw that you worked hard at the pier before, and now I will give you a chance. If you can defeat me as a guard, I will recruit you to be my guard. The starting salary is 10 yuan a month. How about it?"
"Boss, is it really ten yuan a month?"
Hearing the news, Coolie Qiang looked at the guards beside him with unkind eyes.
Exactly the symbol with the gold coin.
"Hey, what did I lie to you for, but I would like to remind you that these guards of mine are all masters in the Ming Jin realm. The kung fu is not much worse than yours, so you have to be careful."
"Thank you boss for reminding me, if the skills are not as good as others, naturally there is nothing to say."
Coolie Qiang is a straightforward person,
Whether it's a mule or a horse, he'll know if he comes out for a walk. He set his sights on Shi Baiqing's brother.
So Yue Zhenshan said directly:
"Shi Baiqi, go and try his skills, and be careful."
"Got it, boss."
The twelve forms of Xingyiquan are dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, 鼍, rooster, harrier, swallow, snake, cockroach, eagle, and bear.
Shi Boqi's body is thick and thick, and the main connection is the bear-shaped fist.
Pounce on the coolie like a heavy tank,
Coolie Qiang is naturally unwilling to be approached by his opponent, and his practice of twelve-way Tan legs is mainly at medium and long distances.
The moment Shi Boqi approached, his right leg retreated in a lunge posture, and he lifted his thigh instantly, and his calf shot out like a bullet, attacking Shi Boqi's chin.
If he was kicked, not to mention ending the battle directly, he knew that Shi Baiqi's state could be weakened.
Of course, Shi Baiqi will not be defeated with one move.
He suddenly accelerated, and at the same time as his arms were blocking the front of Tan's legs, his whole body was like a brown bear, rushing towards Coolie Qiang's arms, the bear-shaped iron mountain leaning on him! !
"Cross ghosts and diamonds—"
On the second leg, Tan switched moves in an instant. With the power of his rear foot, he stood up instantly. With the help of Shi Baiqi's strength, he kicked his body in mid-air to open the distance, then his body rotated, and his two feet pulled back and forth like a drill.
The toes are locked on the opponent's top road. If the defense is broken, or the chest or head is kicked, it will cause serious consequences.
"Smashing like an ax—"
After landing, Coolie Qiang attacked again, his raised right leg swung down like a battle axe.
"boom--"
Hands crossed like bear's paws, to receive the blow, the blue bricks under Shi Baiqi's feet cracked instantly.
Chapter 097 Pig Cage Fortress
Step forward, come on!
Facing the split from top to bottom, Shi Boqi's body was as motionless as a brown bear.
The coolie wanted to repeat the same tricks, his body in mid-air with the help of Shi Baiqi's strength, his two feet were very flexible, the toes were as sinister as a tricky snake's head, he kicked several times in an instant, the cross ghost pulling his legs changed in many ways, pressing down when Bo Qi hit.
Reapplying the old technique?
bang bang bang—
Shi Boqi moved his feet in small steps, within a square inch, he exerted force like a mountain avalanche and the ground cracked, three green bricks exploded under his feet.
Take a step forward with your feet, follow closely with your rear feet, and the rear feet should not exceed the front feet. The fists are issued from the chest and abdomen in the middle plate. They are short in shape and fierce in force, like a collapsing arrow piercing the heart, like a mountain falling and the ground cracking. All three punches hit the palm of the opponent's foot. spring location.
The fist is like thunder, and the strength of the fist explodes.
At this time, Coolie Qiang wanted to change his moves and retreat, but it was too late, so he had to borrow his strength, put his feet together, bend his knees in mid-air, and then popped out his calf, as anxious as lightning.
Snapped--
The two pulled apart again, but it was Shi Boqi who repelled the strong coolie's offensive by relying on his excellent physical fitness.
readily! !
Coolie Qiang could not wait to lean up and scream, this state is so cool!
At this time, Bai Qi was stronger than him, and he could still move like a mountain under his own attack.And next to this boss, there are actually nine such masters. I met a master today, and I played happily.
However, what Coolie Qiang didn't know was that among this group of people, the one who could fight the most was the protected Boss Yue.
With a slight step on the foot, the coolie shot over quickly, with a whip in the head!
Shi Baiqi no longer passively defended this time, but started to attack.
Moved one step to the left, blocked with a horizontal fist with his right hand, and then immediately turned into a bear pendulum in the shape of a bear. The elbow of his left hand turned like a curve, and slammed hard on the inner thigh of Coolie Qiang.
stomp stomp——
Such a strong strength, Coolie Qiang's mind moved slightly, the inner thigh was hit by a powerful elbow, and most of his strength was lost. When fighting with Shi Baiqi, he retreated three steps on the ground.
"Xingyiquan, Shi Baiqi, let it go!!"
"Tan Kui, coolie, thank you for your mercy." Coolie held his fists in salute. In fact, the opponent deliberately gave way to him in this fight. If he used all his strength at the beginning, coolie thought he would lose if he couldn't make ten moves. .
"Ah Qiang, you don't need to be polite. Your legwork is very good. If you are just competing in legwork, Shi Baiqi is not your opponent. The essence of martial arts is in the stage of physical training, speed, strength and physical strength. contest.
Ah Qiang, your basic physical fitness is not as good as that of Shi Baiqi,
Fortunately, your legwork is excellent and can make up for the difference in basic fitness. As long as you improve your basic physical fitness, you can beat this kid.In the stage of physical training, speed, strength, and physical strength are the foundation, while martial arts skills are exponential amplifiers.Skills practiced to the extreme can make up for the lack of basic attributes, but it is not enough to fight beyond the ranks. "
"Oh, the boss is being polite, but his skills are inferior to others."
