Chapter 37 Thirty-seven, a landscape painting

Huang Chujiu also mobilized the employees of all the companies under his name to deposit money at the "Day and Night Bank", especially in the first two days of opening, "Please be sure to give me some face and come to praise me, Mr. Huang."When the boss made a statement, the employees dared to obey Taiwan's orders, and the employees of "Big World" were the most active.Along with it, the artists who sang operas in the "big world" also responded one after another.Wu Yusun, who speaks Suzhou Tanci, has saved 200 yuan, which is considered a big family.The one with the most deposits is said to be Sutan Queen Wang Meiyu, who has a huge amount of 2,000 yuan, and has never been withdrawn.She believed in Huang Chujiu very much, and when the bank run crisis happened, she would not come to make matters worse; after Huang Chujiu died, she cried the most sadly.

Let’s talk about the opening day of the “Day and Night Bank”, there was indeed a bustle of cars and horses in front of the gate, and crowds of people, which really presented a lively scene.Among the crowd, there was also a "live advertisement" specially arranged by Huang Chujiu to build a reputation for "Day and Night Bank".He gave his youngest son Huang Chongzhong and grandson Zang Shouqi one yuan each, and told them to deposit it in the bank, but after a while, they came to withdraw; He was not afraid of trouble at all, and was very polite to them.Seeing this, those who don't know the truth feel more and more that the credit of "Day and Night Bank" is beyond doubt.

Huang Chujiu couldn't help being a little complacent. It seemed that it was just around the corner that he would be listed as a banker at sea in the future. Another thing that Huang Chujiu is proud of this time is the completion of his new house.The new residence is located at the intersection of Aiduoya Road and Longmen Road, opposite to the current Shanghai Concert Hall.A house with "Chinese style as body and Western style as function".Before the Yan'an East Road Elevated Road was built, people could still see this house, which had already been requisitioned by a school. Next door was the place where the bus company sold commuter tickets, which has now been demolished.

Not only is this house compared with the high-rises and villas built today, but even compared with some garden houses in the residential areas of Shanghai later, it seems a bit out of Chinese and Western, and it is hard to tell what kind of architectural style it is.But in Shanghai in the 1920s, it was also a well-known "luxury house". The gate was made wide and thick.Looking in from the gate, there is a large patio, with wing rooms on both sides and a living room in the middle. The rooms are very large, and the doors and windows are glassed by the side of the car.It is said that the hall can hold 10 or 20 tables of banquets, and the owner often entertained guests at home.

The completion of the house happened to be the eve of Huang Chujiu's fiftieth birthday.He named this house "Zhizulu" to show that he came to Shanghai from a young boy in the countryside of Yuyao just to try his luck, and he didn't want to become a big boss. , should be enough. "Satisfaction is always happiness", Huang Chujiu always said this sentence. In the hall of "Zhizulu", there is also a landscape hall hanging. In the painting, on a mountain road, there is a man riding a horse in front, a donkey in the middle, and a man pushing a cart in the back.
