Republic of China small businessman

The little friction between Boss He and Master Jiu can only be seen at home, and when they are outside, the two sides return to a polite and humble appearance.He Dongting praised Mr. Jiu as a talented businessman among a group of old friends, and he expressed a lot of appreciation in his words; while Bai Jiu met the newspaper reporter, and when he was interviewed, he also said that he respected Mr. He as a man and admired him for a long time.

Both of them remembered Xie Jing in their hearts, and they didn't want Xiao Xie to be embarrassed by themselves.

With the attention of the two parties, the progress of the negotiation is also a little bit faster, and the company's affairs are advancing rapidly. Among them, the financial cooperation project was even published in the newspaper, causing quite a stir.The lace tabloids outside were full of wonderful writing, and they had everything to say at once, and some tabloids fabricated an adopted daughter of the He family. It was just a matter of saying that the He family had been married a long time ago, and they were a family.

Xie Jing picked up a tabloid and flipped through it while having breakfast, but before finishing it, He Dongting took the newspaper from behind.Boss He glanced at it, frowned and said: "This newspaper is full of nonsense, such nonsense is also used at home, how does the housekeeper do things, these days he is negligent, I am afraid he has forgotten us Are the rules of the He family good?!"

The butler stood aside and kept apologizing, and went to see Xie Jing with a bitter face.

Xie Jing said: "Father, I asked the housekeeper to take a look at it."

He Dongting: "Jing'er doesn't need to worry about these things, I'll have someone shut down that newspaper tomorrow."

Just as he was talking, Master Jiu came back from the outside, in addition to a new change of clothes, he also carried an oiled paper bag in his hand, and put a few hot sesame balls in it.Master Jiu came over and saw everyone in the dining room, asked a few words, and said, "Oh, I have ordered someone to deal with that newspaper office." He put the mochi ball on a plate, pushed it in front of Xie Jing to coax him to eat, and turned around again. He discussed with He Dongting for a while, with a low voice.

Both of them were protecting Xie Jing, and if there was any disturbance, they immediately raised their spirits and waited for it.

Xie Jing wanted to speak several times, but she didn't find a chance, so she gave up after thinking about it, bowed her head and went to eat breakfast seriously.

Master Jiu was busy at the commercial store last night, and he just came back this morning. Late at night, his fingertips were slightly cold. When Xie Jing put down the porridge for him, his fingers brushed against his, and by the way, he squeezed it to warm him up. .Master Jiu didn't stop talking, subconsciously held Xie Jing's hand, and was still talking to He Dongting about the tabloid: "At most two or three days, I've made an agreement with that side, I won't let them write any more."

He Dongting: "..."

He Dongting glanced at the fingers they were holding, and said a few words: "It is necessary to think about it as soon as possible, so it is good to deal with it. You have been busy all night, so sit down and eat first. Don't come back so late in the future, it is not good to be too tired." , There are so many things that can’t be dealt with all at once.”

Master Jiu nodded in agreement.

He Dongting left after eating less than half a bowl of porridge.

Master Jiu had secured his position in the He family, and he ate breakfast calmly. While sitting there eating, he lowered his head and asked Xie Jingxi if he liked eating mochi balls. Hearing that the other party said it was delicious, he whispered, "Give me a taste too."

Xie Jing fed it to his mouth and shared it with Master Jiu.

Xie Jing loves this kind of soft and glutinous food the most. He praised it last time, and Master Jiu remembered it. No matter how late he came back from work, he never forgot to buy Xie Jing's favorite breakfast.

At the end of the month, He Dongting got a batch of machines.

Boss He has been in the Shanghai stock market for many years, and he has a wide range of opportunities. Master Jiu got the printing machine that was a bit of a headache, and Boss He got it in less than a month.

Master Jiu was not too polite, and after thanking Mount Tai, he hurriedly sent the batch of machines to Cao Yunzhao by boat.

Not long after, Cao Yunzhao wrote a letter to thank him repeatedly. These machines can be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs.

Because of the underground palace incident, Cao Yunzhao got a blessing in disguise, and instead got promoted. His immediate boss was originally a member of the General Administration of Machinery Manufacturing.Cao Yunzhao took this opportunity to promote many projects. He hired a large number of teaching staff in Shu and organized professors and scholars to translate many western books. X-ray (x-ray) books are informal, and what is there is what comes out.

Cao Yunzhao wrote in his letter to Lord Jiu: "Nowadays, wars are happening frequently. Many universities in Beiping and Tianjin have been bombed by Japanese planes. There are many scholars and professors who have fled to Sichuan. It is really sad, but all the teachers and students still have ambitions. Do everything possible to help, open up people's wisdom, save sparks..."

Cao Yunzhao has several jobs and is busy all day long, and he does what he says.

He used his greatest strength to help those students who are most in need right now.

Xie Jing sold some of the antiques he had collected before, and exchanged food and ships to prepare for the worst.

Two years later.

The war in the North broke out.

The old general Bai and the young marshal Bai Junrui led the army to meet the enemy. The old general died in battle. Bai Junrui was seriously injured and couldn't leave the front line. He defended the city for more than three months, and he never put down his gun before he died.

In just a few months, the North fell.

The Japanese army established the Puppet Manchurian Government, gathered some traitor officials, and lobbied and persuaded all walks of life in an attempt to numb the people's nature.

Even the Shanghai stock market is no longer a safe place.

He Dongting was appointed in the face of danger, and once again served as the chairman of the Huaguo Chamber of Commerce. The first thing he did when he took office was to call the joint offices of the provinces and chambers of commerce. He had a firm attitude towards the so-called "Manchuria".

Regarding the Japanese's lure and solicitation, He Dongting's response was cold and firm. In the name of the general merchant, he would issue an order to hang the flag of the Republic for three days.

Undoubtedly, this incident made the Japanese itch with hatred, and they sent people to assassinate He Dongting several times, but all failed.

He Dongting has a firm attitude and is anti-Japanese and patriotic, so he was assassinated several times and hid in the concession, unable to return home. The most dangerous time was when his ankle was injured by shrapnel. The police caught him, but he was not killed.

Not only the business community, patriots and students from all walks of life also ran on the streets, and the anti-Japanese protests across the country became louder and louder.

The national anti-Japanese morale was high, and millions of troops marched to Beijing and Shanghai.

In August, the flames of war ignited.

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Jiangkou.

Several merchant ships were on their way overnight, the gas lights on the ship were bright, and the crew members of several rotations were urgently transferred. Their oil-stained clothes had not yet been changed in the future, and they looked a little tired. They were gathering together at the moment Under the lamppost, he urged one of the young men to read the newspaper: "Xiao Liu, read quickly, how is the war going?"

"Yes, did you win the battle?"

"A few days ago, it was said that Little Japan would take a few months to come to the Shanghai stock market. Grandma, I don't believe it. There are so many of us, and we are not afraid of them even if we fight with bayonets!"

The young man flipped through the newspaper and read the wars of the past few days to the people around him, which made everyone feel aroused for a while, and at the same time, their teeth itch with hatred.

A few people were talking there when suddenly the boat shook violently a few times and stopped in the middle of the river.

Several people looked forward, and saw a warship not far away, directing them to move forward with lights on. Apart from their merchant ship, there were more than a dozen other ships approaching.The warship was in front, and the merchant ship was behind. After sailing forward in a long snake formation for about an hour, it reached the narrowest point of the river entrance, and the warship immediately ordered to stop.

More than a dozen merchant ships are unknown, so they were urgently dispatched to support. Now that the country is in crisis, everyone is willing to contribute, and they will do what the warship says.

The night was quiet, and the surrounding sea breeze seemed to have calmed down. The sailors who lived on the ship all year round vaguely felt that something was wrong. When they turned their heads to look, they found that the hull of the merchant ship on the side was slowly sinking, and someone exclaimed for a while. , They have been at sea for many years, and they subconsciously want to help when they see the ships beside them in trouble, not to mention the merchant ships around them that they have seen so many times that they are familiar with each other and can even call them by name.

But soon, the experienced crew found something was wrong. These ships were not in danger, but they were putting water into the cabins themselves.

The second officer came out of the cockpit, and only then did he talk about the mission of "wrecking the ship across the river" tonight.

"This country is facing a crisis, I hope everyone can understand the righteousness, and share the determination to complete the Shenjiang ship and stop the passage of the Japanese ship..."

The hull sank slowly, and the elderly crew couldn't help sobbing. They spent their entire lives on the ship, caring for the ship like their own children. Now they watched it sink into the river, and all of them had red eyes. He bit his lip and said nothing.
