Chapter 30 Chapter Twenty Nine

Caiqin came back from Nanjing, and the family of three sat there to eat.Shouting held a framed picture in his hand, which contained a photo of a full-moon baby. Caiqin smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, I've watched it a hundred times! You are really old, and you love children so much!" Fuqing removed the frame: "It's up to me!" Shouting picked up the wine and drank it down: "Okay, this kid looks like a tiger-headed child, like a descendant of a soldier!" He asked for a photo again.Fuqing kissed the photo and returned it to his father.Shouting looked at the photo frame and said to the child inside: "Liu Zi, is this name okay? I gave it to you. You and I have the same name. I am your uncle!" His eyes were full of kindness.He took the wine cup and touched the photo frame: "My father and son will do one first!" He drank it down and laughed loudly.

Caiqin asked for the photo frame: "Don't get wet, eat first." Shouting took another cup. Fuqing said, "Father, can you hang up the photo of your little cousin in my room?" Shouting said: "That can't be done, I have to watch it!" Caiqin said: "The reward army you sent is almost becoming a New Year's gift, and the bucket of the jeep can hardly fit!" Shouting said: "I even got some useless things from the gift list! If it's according to Dong Jun's sister-in-law, I think I'll hang a special carriage! Jia Kui said that there are refrigerators in Germany, and there are things you can't eat." It can be placed inside, and it is not afraid of summer. It would be great if we had that in China!"

Fuqing said, "My physics teacher also said that." Caiqin said: "Our sister has it at home! It's too loud. It's in the kitchen downstairs, like a big wardrobe. It's buzzing all day long. I didn't let that thing kill me!" Shouting said, "Oh? If we had known that there was such a thing, we would have made a few extra bucks." Caiqin said: "He still eats elbows! Yuan Yike has gained weight, and now he dare not eat." Shouting: "Haha, it's good to be fat, and look rich! I just look at those sallow and emaciated ones, as if they haven't eaten enough. You didn't take a photo together?"

Caiqin said: "It's a photo, Yuanyi won't let her take it back, saying it's too ugly, I'm afraid people will laugh at her when I take it back." Shouting smiled and said, "Hey, what are you afraid of if you look ugly, as long as you know it's that person." Caiqin said: "Shou Ting, I was just wondering, how do you know you need to eat donkey-hide gelatin during confinement? I have never eaten it." Shouting said: "How do we natives know this! It was said by those Shanghai masters in the factory. Hehe, what's the matter?" Caiqin said: "As soon as this Dong'e-e-hide gelatin was brought along, Yuanyi's servant said it was authentic. Yuanyi ate it every day, but he carried a little less. It might be finished soon." There is an emoticon for counting numbers.

Shouting disagrees: "It's easy to handle. Since Yuanyi thinks it's good, let Jiaju send a box tomorrow. You are weak, so you should eat some, and you don't have to wait for confinement. But when will you confine yourself?" "I beat you!" Shouting smiled happily: "I said, didn't our brother-in-law lead you around Nanjing?" Caiqin said: "Walk! I've done all the shopping. Sister-in-law Jade and I are doing better, the third family is playing crazy. Changhe also sent officers to invite her to dance, and the army sent cars to pick her up whenever there was a dance. I'm so angry. This is out of Jinan Mansion. I think my sister-in-law's prestige is gone, and the third family doesn't care about that anymore. As soon as the car comes, put on that lipstick, put on a uniform skirt and leave! No matter how much my sister-in-law uses her eyes to gouge out She, it doesn't work at all. It doesn't count if she jumped there, but her feet are still bouncing after coming back!"

Shouting laughed loudly: "Okay! I'll tell Brother Dong Jun tomorrow. Isn't he capable? Isn't he talking about family traditions all day long? Well, the old three dancers are also dancing. I'll see what he does." Caiqin said: "This third child is too! Before his wife left, he gave her so much money. She went out to dance, and when she saw the gold goods passing by, she took off all the gold bars and earrings, from ears to hands. The dress was full of diamond jewellery. Changhe also followed her, and even sent a telegram to call the tailor from Shanghai Pei Luomeng, who was called by a soldier. How could the tailor have seen this scene before? When he measured her, his hands were trembling The same is true for Yuanyi. During her confinement period, she also got out of bed and gesticulated for the tailor. What women's suits, skirts, waistcoats, and a big suitcase! When Pei Luomeng saw Changhe's style, he knew it. The official can't wait, so the clothes were delivered within a few days. Otherwise, we would have to stay for a few more days if the old three's family made such a fuss. I didn't see it well, so I urged you to come back. Yuanyi doesn't trust you alone At home. Fuqing, don't listen to the adults here, go to your room and do your homework."

Fuqing was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was listening to the excitement, so he didn't want to leave, but seeing his mother's face, he had to stand up and go out in a hurry. After Fuqing went out, Caiqin went on to say: "Shouting, you don't know who the three officers sent by Changhe are?" Shouting was anxious: "I didn't go again, I know what it is? Just talk about it directly." Caiqin remembered, and patted her leg: "Remember, they are all school officers. You don't know how energetic that man is! They are all wearing the military uniforms of the general school and the military belts, and all of them can speak foreign languages." .I told Yuan Yi, don’t run away with them. Yuan Yi almost died laughing when he heard that. He thought I was a feudalist. But my sister-in-law couldn’t bear it any longer, and urged me whenever she was free, wishing she could go back to Jinan right away. I'm also afraid, if the third son's family really ran away with the officer, how can we explain to the third son when we come back!"

Shouting was about to drink, when he heard this, he was so happy that he spit out a sip of wine.After laughing, he wiped his mouth and said, "I have to tell Dong Jun about this too. Let's see what he says!" Caiqin said: "You don't have to pay a price, don't let the big cousin lose your face." Shouting said: "Caiqin, you are a layman! Why did they invite three officers to take turns to invite her? It is because they are afraid that one person will invite her and create feelings. This is to make the old three foolish. Let her watch One is better than the other, but you can't play with any one for long. I said, it doesn't matter if the third family runs away, as long as you don't run away. Come to think of it, you have little feet and can't run fast."

Caiqin also laughed: "I'll beat you to death right now!" Fei Cui said, it's a good thing her second child was not allowed to come together, if these two new-style people get together, they won't be able to stop the brakes! This time On the way, the old three’s family seemed to have lost their souls, and it was meaningless to talk about Jinan’s soil.” Shouting stretched out his hand: "Pass me the photo of our nephew again, I have to take a look." Caiqin handed it to him, Shouting looked at it, thought it was good, kept nodding, and then asked: "How is it that my brother-in-law didn't mention the name 'Guangfu'?"

Caiqin said: "Praise you, say you touched their hearts!" In the morning, Feihu saw Shouting enter the factory and quickly made tea.Lao Wu was about to sit down in the office when Shouting came in with a box of snacks: "Here comes the gift giver!" Old Wu hurriedly came up to take it with both hands: "Shopkeeper, is this brought back by sister-in-law Six?" Shouting said: "The 18 authentic Nanjing Osmanthus Zhai. The Yunpian Cake is really interesting." Old Wu held the dim sum in both hands and put it on the table: "I have to store it properly and bring it to my father next year. Thank you shopkeeper, and also thank you sister-in-law Liu on my behalf!"

Shouting pulled up a chair and sat down: "How is this product selling?" Old Wu said: "Our merchants have turned around again and started to buy goods again. It's cold today, and the common people should prepare cotton clothes. The shipment of monochromatic cloth is fast, and the shipment of floral cloth is slow. Shopkeeper, don't look at Zi The house has been in trouble for more than 40 days, and we shut down and returned the goods, at least a loss of 100,000 yuan! Yesterday the three-yuan old Zhao asked me to drink, and his factory also lost this amount. By this time Those model cloths of 1.21 feet are still not sold in some places! Our factory is too big and the site is too big to support the rush. If we hadn't stopped early, we might not be able to survive this year! " Shouting smiled coldly: "Since I started my dry dyeing factory, I haven't suffered such a big loss! Has Wen Qi gone back?" Old Wu said: "It's been four or five days since I went back. The manager Na Ma from Shanghai taught every day. The day before yesterday, he had finished teaching and left homework. He said that he would check after he came back from Shanghai. If anyone did not do well, he would be punished on the spot." Then he resigned. The man surnamed Ma called two printing masters from Shanghai to teach the workers how to operate the machines. The Shanghai dialect that the two men spoke could not be understood by the workers, so the son of Zi's family acted as an interpreter. His mother Yes! This is going to be a big deal!" Shouting smiled: "In a moment, you go upstairs to my place, I have to explain something to Wen Qi!" At nine o'clock in the morning, at Ludwig's Auction House in the French Concession in Shanghai, bidders entered the venue one after another in twos and threes, discussing as they walked. Although this small meeting place is not big, it is very particular. There is a sign in front of each bidding manufacturer, marking the name of the factory.With the aisle in the middle as the boundary, there are Chinese manufacturers on the left and Japanese businessmen on the right. Zi Wenhai was wearing a neat navy blue suit, with a small red strip hanging on the upper pocket, a small flower, and on the small red strip was written "Chairman of the tendering party".Gao Mingjun is also neatly dressed, with the sign of Vice Chairman.Ma Zixiong shines brightly and is in high spirits, with a red stripe as the general manager.At this time, the three of them were discussing matters in the living room. Zi Wenhai looked at his watch: "Zixiong, it's up to you!" Ma Zixiong nodded with confidence: "Chairman, just wait and see the good show!" At this time, an assistant of Ma Zixiong came in with the auctioneer.Ma Zixiong quickly stood up and shook hands: "Brother Changfeng, you need to help more!" Zi Wenhai and Gao Mingjun also stood up to express their thanks. The auctioneer said: "No problem, this 'Xuzao' has cooperated with me for many years, no problem, he will play by ear." Ma Zixiong said: "He may be good at antique calligraphy and painting, but he doesn't necessarily know textiles. When the Chinese manufacturer calls to sixty, he must be careful not to call again at will. Let him see it before talking, and don't let him fall into the 'well'." You have to be careful when the big items in Japan are called 70. The Japanese are very united, and they usually don’t fight too hard for the sake of domestic relations. Thousands of dollars! The Japanese don’t do business that loses money. His capital is around sixty-three, so 'Xu Zao' must not let 'Xu Zao' yell 'some'!" The auctioneer said: "That Xuzao from the Japanese side studied in Japan. I paid a lot of money to hire him. He is very smart. Don't worry, you can just wait for the credit!" Ma Zixiong looked at his watch: "It starts at a quarter past nine, and there are still ten minutes left. Chairman, let's go on stage. It's about time when we finish singing the name of the factory." The group stood up and walked across the venue to the rostrum.There was a murmur of discussion in the meeting place. Zi Wenhai sat on the rostrum.There are two horses, one on each side. The banner above the rostrum is "Shandong Model Printing and Dyeing Factory Shanghai Gray Cloth Bidding". The master beater tapped the bell with a mallet, and the venue fell silent.He smiled at the people below, and announced loudly: "Shandong Model Printing and Dyeing Factory's Shanghai Gray Cloth Bidding will officially start now!" There was applause. He rang the bell again: "After accepting the bidding entrustment, our bank specially hired professionals from the French Concession to conduct a third-party authoritative appraisal on the product samples of all registered companies. The products of all registered companies have met the quality requirements of the bidding, and all of them are qualified.” There was another burst of applause. The master auctioneer started the next item: "Now I will introduce the representative of the bid issuer." He bowed back, "Zi Wenhai, master of law, Tokyo Imperial University, director of the Chinese Lawyers Association, famous lawyer, and chairman of Shandong Model Dyeing Factory gentlemen!" Amid the applause, Zi Wenhai stood up to pay tribute. The chief auctioneer began to announce the rules of the auction: "Start with the small 800-meter piece in China, and then the large 1,000-meter piece in Japan. Then, after converting the size, the bidder with the best price will be the winner. Now we will start announcing the Chinese bidder." The company name of the bidder." He cleared his throat and began to sing the name of the company, "Shanghai Qingfeng Textile Factory!" The factory representative stood up. "Shanghai Dehua Gauze Company!" At this time, a luxury car with a Japanese flag on it was driving towards this side. Two white three-wheeled motorcycles of the French Concession patrol opened the way, and pedestrians stopped to watch. In the car, Akashi Yushin was wearing a white suit, with a dignified appearance.The wife next to him was wearing a Japanese kimono, with a noble family crest on the right breast, with the pattern of two swords crossed together.The Japanese wife is beautiful and quiet, and Akashi Yushin holds her hand with his white-gloved right hand. In the venue, the roll call of Chinese companies has been completed, and the roll call of Japanese companies is in progress. "President Takeda Yuizawa, Shanghai Branch of Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan and his assistants!" Takeda, in his fifties, stood up and bowed. "The president of Sanwa Trading Company, Oshima Chengji, and his assistants!" The two Japanese stood up and bowed. "President Akashi Yushin of Ii Trading Company and his assistants!" No one in the Japanese phalanx stood up, but they whispered to each other. Takeda said, "Your Majesty Jingyi's family also came to China to do business?" The assistant shook his head. Takeda said: "Then how dare we bid with Your Excellency?" The assistant said: "It is also our happiness to meet the people of your family." Takeda said: "Master Akashi should also meet, I heard that he is the most handsome man in Japan." The assistant said: "Not to mention Your Excellency Jingyi, even if Akashi's family comes, we can only withdraw." Seeing that no one agreed, the main auctioneer said: "I will continue to read down." The car is already approaching the auction house. The auctioneer has announced that the Japanese unit is finished, saying: "The Jingyi Trading Company has not come yet. According to the rules, this is an automatic abandonment of the bid. We will not wait. Now, Shandong Model..." Before he finished speaking, a young Japanese stood up in the Japanese team: "No, we have to wait forever, or we will all leave!" The main shooter was a little silly, and Zi Wenhai was a little flustered. He was already a little flustered when Jing Yilai was called out just now. The young Japanese businessman stood there and said: "Your Excellency Jingyi once joined Baron Nogi to fight against the Russians at Lushunkou for the cause of the empire, and spilled blood on Tiger Beach. That is the eternal glory of our Great Japanese Empire! Your Excellency Jingyi is The flower of the famous general of the empire that never fades!" The Japanese phalanx had all stood up at this time: "Yes! If we don't wait, we will protest to the Chinese government!" The meeting place was a bit chaotic, and many in the Japanese team looked disdainful and cursed.At this time, two French patrolmen came in with a piece of paper in their hands, jumped up to the rostrum, and said in a foreign tone: "Mr. Akashi is here, you must read it according to these!" Zi Wenhai, Ma Zixiong and others were all dumbfounded. Holding the piece of paper, the lead photographer was tongue-tied, collected himself, and agreed to the patrol.But the two patrolmen did not step down, but stood on the platform one by one, as if they were security guards. The master auctioneer looked at the paper and read aloud: "Ihiro Rami, the daughter of Count Ii Yoshishi, and her husband, Mr. Akashi Yunobu!" All the Japanese stood up and faced the door. At this time, Akashi Yushin was wearing a white suit and walking towards the rostrum with his wife on his arm. Behind him were two assistants in suits. Here, someone has already set up a seat in front of the rostrum. As soon as Akashi Yushin walked into the aisle, the Japanese collectively bowed: "Your Excellency!" Akashi smiled lightly, and the Japanese wife just nodded slightly. As Akashi walked forward, the Japanese bowed, not daring to look up.Zi Wenhai wanted to stand up, but Ma Zixiong grabbed him. After Akashi Youxin and his wife sat down, the tea was served immediately.The chief photographer looked at him, and Akashi indicated that it was time to start. The lead auctioneer wiped off his sweat: "We are very honored to invite Mr. Akashi and his wife. We will start issuing bids now. Let's start with the Chinese side..." The Japanese youth stood up again: "No! We have to start with us first." Akashi wore white gloves and didn't look back at all. He just raised his hand slightly, and the Japanese youth immediately bowed and sat down. Akashi signaled to start. The main auctioneer shouted: "The bidding starts from 68 yuan for the 800 small pieces, and the price is reduced by 1 yuan by raising the cards one by one. Now the official start!" A sign below is held up. The lead auctioneer shouted: "Sixty-seven yuan!" Another placard. "Sixty-six yuan!" Another one holding a sign said: "We directly bid 62 yuan!" There was a buzz in the venue. Chief auctioneer: "Sixty-two yuan a time!" Zi Wenhai was sweating profusely on the stage, and took out his handkerchief to wipe it off. "Sixty-one yuan!" Ma Zixiong and Zi Wenhai exchanged glances for another one holding a placard. "Sixty yuan!" The hall was silent. "Sixty yuan a time!" Another placard. "Fifty-nine! Fifty-nine!" Another placard. At this time, the air in the venue was a bit suffocating, and everyone whispered to each other, shaking their heads and sighing. "Fifty-nine yuan a time!" The chief auctioneer looked down, Zi Wenhai was already looking happy, and Ma Zixiong held his hand. "Fifty-nine yuan twice!" The master beater picked up the gavel, at this moment, Akashi motioned to the assistant.The assistant shouted: "Fifty-eight yuan!" The chief auctioneer was a little silly, and said with a dry smile, "Mr. Akashi, we are now competing for a small piece of 800 meters." The assistant said: "The Empire of Japan does not produce such small pieces! One thousand meters, fifty-eight yuan!" The lead shooter almost fainted, wobbled a few times, and held on to the table to keep his balance. The companies participating in the Chinese team were a little confused, and one of them said: "Isn't this here to play handsome? This is not bidding!" The other said: "Young master is not good, any kind of family business can make him play for nothing!" The Japanese phalanx was also dumbfounded, and then all stood up, bursting into warm applause. Akashi turned around and bowed slightly as a thank you. Zi Wenhai and Ma Zixiong couldn't take it anymore, and jumped off the stage directly.Zi Wenhai stretched out his hand all the way, and went straight to Akashi Youxin.But Akashi didn't respond, just looked at him coldly, and Zi Wenhai had no choice but to drop his hand: "Your Excellency, I once studied in your country, at Tokyo Imperial University. That was the best and most memorable time in my life! When I was studying in Japan, I once looked up at the noble house from outside the wall, and I never thought that today I can become a long-term business partner with you, Zi Wenhai is really honored!" After saying that, he bowed deeply. Akashi smiled: "Take care of me. Please contact my assistant Teng Shanjun for specific matters. Akashi bids farewell!" Akashi took his wife in his arms and walked out with his head held high, followed by the two French patrolmen.All the Japanese stood up, first bowed, and then shouted: "Glory belongs to the empire! Glory belongs to the empire!" Only then did the lead auctioneer realize that the bidding had ended, and the local area rang the bell, shouting: "Jingyi Trading Company won the bid! And obtained the qualification to supply Shandong Model Printing and Dyeing Factory for a long time!" The Japanese were still cheering there. In the evening, in the Chinese restaurant of the Shanghai International Hotel, Zi Wenhai and Gao Mingjun hadn't calmed down from their joy. Looking at the neon lights outside the window in the night, Zi Wenhai couldn't help sighing: "Ten miles of foreign markets, there are all kinds of surprises! Big Shanghai, I haven't been here for many years! Hey, these years are left to go to court, fighting for thousands of children. Yes. Ming Jun, now that I think about it, I really feel childish, even blush!" Gao Mingjun also said: "The shareholders in the bank should also come to see this scene and see Akashi Yushin's demeanor. Oh, it's really unusual! It's so majestic! His wife is so beautiful too! I don't like such a Japanese woman." Never seen it." Zi Wenhai said: "Nobles are nobles. This is the precipitation of generations of temperament! Ming Jun, do you know why his cloth is so cheap?" Gao Mingjun said, "I don't know!" Zi Wenhai said: "This is the nobility. Jing Yi's family participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and he did not pay all the taxes. This made the British royal family jealous. With such a supplier, what are Chen Liuzi and Zhao Dongjun? You have to kneel down and beg for mercy.” Gao Mingjun said: "It's God's will! It's God's will, and it's God who helped us get rich! Mr. Zi, look at him, he's so handsome! Look at those Japanese, they are so arrogant on weekdays, and they lose their temper when they see Akashi and his wife." gone." Zi Wenhai said: "Ming Jun, you don't understand Japan! Japan is a hierarchical society. Before the Meiji period, only the nobles had surnames, and the others just named their names randomly, just like the leftovers and chains here. , just call it casually, it is just a mark, not even a surname. It was not until the eighth year of Meiji that the "Miao Characters Must Be Called Order" was promulgated, and ordinary Japanese people had surnames. Don't look at those Japanese who are so arrogant in China, in their In the country, when you see nobles, you have to give way, and you have to take the initiative to come over to say hello. Some people may not be able to meet nobles in their lifetime, let alone bid together. Today is the Chinese side that competes first. If the Japanese side competes first, Those people didn't dare to raise their placards at all. Even if I lent them three guts, Zixiong had the foresight to call the two countries and two parties at once. If he only called the Japanese side, we would be in trouble today. If Akashi wanted a The Japanese dare not fight for the high price, no matter how high the cloth price is, we have to ask for it, otherwise the security deposit will be gone. I am afraid when I think about it now." Zi Wenhai shook his hands. Gao Mingjun's eyes were wide open and he gained insight. He kept nodding his head: "Zixiong is back, we have to toast him. Mr. Zi, isn't the Zhabei warehouse not far away? Should we be back?" Zi Wenhai said: "Come back soon. After the handover is completed, we will ship it back tomorrow. I wish I could start work tonight and kill all the local donkeys in Jinan, including Chen Liuzi and Zhao's family!" He said through gritted teeth. At this time, Ma Zixiong came back excitedly, holding a piece of cloth in his hand.Zi Wenhai stood up, took a few steps to meet him, and took his hand: "Is everything going well, Zixiong?" Ma Zixiong sat down and took an apple from the fruit plate on the table and gnawed it without waiting, "It went well. The money and the goods have been cleared. Now it has been shipped to the station, and we will try to send it out tomorrow. Miss, bring a pair of scissors!" " Zi Wenhai said, "What do you need scissors for?" Ma Zixiong said: "I'll tear this cloth for you to see, it's so exciting! This piece of cloth is much better than the sample!" The lady brought a pair of scissors.Ma Zixiong cut a hole three inches apart, made four or five cuts, and tore it hard, the cloth tore apart.Then let Zi Wenhai tear it up.Zi Wenhai didn't tear the cloth the first time, but with more force, the cloth was torn apart. "Good! This color is really good!" Ma Zixiong said: "After I finished the handover, I wanted to go to Jingyi Trading Co., Ltd. to say hello, and also to discuss the second batch of supplies. But when I got to the door, there were more than a dozen Japanese waiting to be interviewed. When I came out, I was still wiping my tears excitedly, and the car of the French consulate was parked there, so I didn’t dare to go in.” Zi Wenhai nodded deeply: "Zixiong, thanks to you, we are lucky! We are relying on such a big tree, who are we afraid of? When the Jingyi family first arrived in Shanghai, even the Japanese couldn't line up. Let's not join in the fun yet. After a few days, let's come here specially with gifts. Zixiong, have you signed all the contracts?" Ma Zixiong said: "Chairman, everything is settled. Look!" He took out a contract from his bag.Zi Wenhai took it, took a general look, then looked at the signature on the last page, and said: "Okay, when we return to Jinan, we will remove this last page and put it in the frame. Akashi's signature is valuable for collection." Come on, let's do it! Let's get drunk today. We'll go back to Jinan tomorrow morning. As soon as the cloth arrives, we'll start work. Nothing else, just Chinese New Year, the peak season for selling goods, will make all the dye factories in Jinan dumbfounded! It's a pity, at this time, Chen Liuzi and the others don't know about it! Haha!" Xingjia cooks a meal and waits for the brothers.At this time, Xingye came back with a depressed expression. Xingjia hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" Xingye said: "The cloth has been transported back, and work will start tomorrow. When I saw those cloths, I wanted to burn them. Brother, I heard that there is no room for them in the warehouse, and some are in the warehouse of the station. Shall we burn the warehouse of the station?" ?” Xingjia said: "That's not acceptable. If the warehouse at the station is burned down, the station will have to pay Zi Wenhai, and he won't suffer." Xingye said: "We have to find a way. We can't look at Zi Wenhai so proud. You haven't seen him like that. Everyone bows happily when you see him. I wish I could smash him to death with a brick." Xingjia said: "Our plan to start on New Year's Eve remains unchanged. In the past two days, I went to the library to check some information, and I came up with a plan." Xingye said happily: "Tell me!" Xingjia said: "On the evening of New Year's Eve, let's put a tasteless poison in the meat and throw it in from the outside of the wall. Wouldn't it be okay for the dog to eat it?" Xingye stood up happily: "Is the poison easy to buy?" Xingjia said: "My classmate opened a chemical industry, and he said he had it in his shop." Xingye said, "Did you tell outsiders about this?" Xingjia said: "How could I be so stupid? I said it was Yao's neighbor's dog, and that the dog barked at night, making me unable to sleep." Wen Qi went to work the next morning.Zi Wenhai was dressed in costumes and stood at the gate of the factory, bowing to every worker who entered the factory.On both sides are supervisors leading wolf dogs. Afterwards, Zi Wenhai, Zi Youde, Gao Mingjun and some directors from the bank came to the workshop, ready to witness this exciting and happy moment together.Ma Zixiong, as the chief expert, shook hands with the guests one by one, then turned around and asked, "Chairman, can I start the machine?" Zi Wenhai nodded gracefully: "We will unveil an epoch-making page for Shandong Printing and Dyeing. Let's start!" At this time, the machine was ready, and Bu got on the machine, waiting for Ma Zixiong's order to start work.I saw Ma Zixiong slashing down with his right hand: "Turn on!" The machine started to spin. Zi Wenhai and others applauded happily.The calico comes out from this end.People walked over to watch. Zi Wenhai was so happy that he couldn't stand it, he came over and hugged Ma Zixiong: "Zixiong, you are my Zhao Zilong!" The machine is spinning.Xingye glared at the printing side. At this moment, a mechanic ran over: "General manager, go and have a look, the cloth stretching machine is all broken!" Zi Wenhai let go of Zhao Zilong, Zhao Zilong also panicked, and hurriedly ran to the widening machine.At this time, the widening machine had stopped. He picked up the cloth and stretched it horizontally, and it broke immediately, as if it was wet paper.Ma Zixiong was shocked: "Quick! Go to the warehouse and get some more!" Zi Wenhai followed behind him and asked directly, "What's going on? What's going on?" Ma Zixiong waved his hand to signal the machine to stop, took the special printing and dyeing scissors and cut the cloth, took it over and pulled it sideways, and the cloth broke immediately.The scissors fell to the ground. The workers pulled the carts and ran, and the supervisor urged behind them: "Quick! Quick!" Another burra came, and the workers quickly opened the bag amidst yelling.Ma Zixiong cut a piece with scissors and tore it vertically, which was very powerful, and then tore it horizontally, it was also very powerful.He immediately ordered: "Go to the washing machine!" Those people put the cloth into the washing machine.Zi Wenhai's hands were shaking, his face was sallow. Ma Zixiong looked at his watch: "Okay, stop the machine, take out one!" A worker jumped up, found the end of the cloth, pulled out a piece and cut it off.Ma Zixiong pulled it sideways, and the cloth broke immediately. Zi Wenhai asked, "What's going on?" Ma Zixiong said: "There is German SIN glue or peach glue on the cloth. We fell for it!" Zi Wenhai shook it a few times, but he didn't fall down: "Ten thousand pieces are like this?" Ma Zixiong said, "Let's try one more." Those shareholders are all messed up. Xingye and others pulled the cart and ran towards the warehouse. Wen Qi was busy working in the warehouse, when she saw someone rushing here again, someone shouted in the distance: "Hurry up, hurry up, bring out a piece of cloth, it's waiting in the workshop!" So there was a panic in the warehouse.Wen Qi was about to make cloth with the guys when she suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground.The guys stopped what they were doing and hurried over to rescue her: "Wen Qi, Wen Qi, what's wrong with you?" They pinched someone again, curled up their legs again, and gave first aid in a flurry. One of the supervisors was in a hurry: "The workshop is in a hurry to test the cloth, hurry up and load the cloth! You two, take this little brat out of the factory. As long as he doesn't die inside the factory, it has nothing to do with us!" Xingye asked: "Who said this?" The supervisor said: "Chairman! Come on, carry him back to the factory!" Xingye had no choice but to carry Wenqi on his back and walk out of the factory. Outside the factory, not far away, Dongchu's car was parked there. Xingye carried Wen Qi on his back and said as he walked, "Brother, the hospital is not far away, you stand up, brother!" The doorkeeper led the wolfdog and snorted softly.Xingye carried Wen Qi out of the factory and walked westward for more than ten meters. Wen Qi got off Xingye's back and startled Xingye: "Wen Qi, you—" Wen Qi hurriedly said to Xingye: "I have to go, you don't have to go back, Zi Wenhai's factory has collapsed. Tomorrow you go to Hongju Dyeing Factory to find me, and ask my uncle to beg Manager Chen to let you work in Hongju Dyeing Factory." Giant dry." At this time, Dong Chu drove the car and rushed over, slammed on the brakes in front of Wen Qi, and Wen Qila opened the door and jumped on it.The car sped away. Xingye stood there watching, not knowing what was going on.Looking at the speeding car, he smiled slowly. Shouting, Jiaju, and old Wu Dengbiao Jin Biao all waited anxiously in the upstairs office. Dongchu's car rushed into the factory, and Deng Biao stood on the outdoor landing and shouted: "The shopkeeper, here we come!" Shouting jumped up from the chair.At this time, Dong Chu rushed in with Wen Qi: "Sixth brother, Wen Qi said that the factory is in chaos." Shouting asked, "What kind of chaos?" Wen Qi said: "Come to Rab again and again!" Shouting raised his eyebrows: "Okay! Jin Biao signed up, and he is on vacation today just to withdraw money. Go to the workshop, and all the workers will go to Quanye Bank to withdraw money together. As I said, they will not be able to withdraw money today. You two Lead me to make trouble." The two rushed out. Shouting said: "Dongchu, you drive the car to inform all the newspapers and radio stations, and take them to Quanye Bank." Dong Chu agreed and rushed downstairs. At this time, more than two hundred workers ran out of the factory. Jia Kui was on the phone, and the call got through: "Brother Dong Jun, it's done. Let the workers out and go to Quanye Bank to withdraw money." Dongjun's reply can be heard across the phone: "Okay!" Shouting said: "Wen Qi, there is a foreign car below, and the telegram is on your uncle's desk. Get on the car and send a telegram to inform Shanghai Lin Xiangrong of the great victory in Jinan." Old Wu hurriedly took out the money and handed it over to Wen Qi, who ran downstairs. Old Wu Jiaju was left in the room, Shouting took one with each hand, and sat down at the small round table.Shouting looked up at Master Lin's inscription, and then shouted loudly: "Feihu, rush——tea!" At this time, there was chaos in front of Quanye Bank. Dengbiao Jin Biao stood on a high place holding the pillars of the small German foreign-style building and shouted: "Quanye Bank has collapsed, and there will be no money left after today!" The road in front of the door was full of people, yelling and yelling.After Dongchu's car arrived, the workers moved out of the way, and several reporters jumped down and stood on a high place to take pictures. At this time, in other streets in Jinan, some people also rushed this way in a panic, sending messages to each other: "Quanye Bank is failing, go and withdraw the money!" Another said: "Whoever is a good person deposits money there, go and pick it up!" "Let's go and watch the excitement!" "Let's go, Quanye Bank has collapsed!" "The loan shark has fallen!" Bai Zhisheng was picking his teeth in the room when a clerk rushed in: "Master Bai, it's bad, Quanye Bank has collapsed!" Bai Zhisheng jumped up: "What? If it falls, I'll kill Gao Mingjun! Come with me!" At this time, Qian Shiheng was walking in, when Bai Zhisheng went up to meet him, raised his hand and slapped him on the mouth: "Quanye Bank, Quanye Bank, you are Quanye Bank all day long, and you pay the fucking interest. Got it! It doesn’t matter where you put your money, you have to put it in that kind of bullshit bank for small profits, this time it’s all over!” Qian Shiheng stood stupidly covering his face, watching Bai Zhisheng rush out.After thinking for a while, he pulled out the gun from his waist, put it on fire, and followed Bai Zhisheng. At the door of the workshop of the model dyeing factory, Ma Zixiong stood blankly holding a cloth, as if his acupuncture points had been tapped.Then, something came out of his mouth, his body slowly leaned back, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.Just as Zi Youde was about to go, Zi Wenhai grabbed him, took a few steps outside, and said in a low voice, "Leave him alone. Let's run!" Zi Youde was puzzled: "Let's go back to Shanghai to find them!" Zi Wenhai said: "Son, this is a scam! Who can I go to? All the money in the bank has been used to buy cloth. The shareholders of Quanye Bank are not only the police station but also the court, and Bai Zhisheng and Qian Shiheng from Hongshengtang. Once the bank collapses, can they spare us? Hurry up! Go home and get some soft food, and go back to your hometown in Jiyang first. Whether you go to court or go to jail, he will be responsible for everything. He is legally different from us. Direct relationship. Hurry up!" As soon as the father and son turned around, they saw a general blocking the way. Gao Mingjun held a pole and shouted loudly: "Zi Wenhai! Go to jail, go to court, let's go together! Run? There is no way!" Zi Wenhai pushed him, and Gao Mingjun raised the pole. At this moment, Zi Youde hit Gao Mingjun on the head with a brick from behind, and the father and son fled in a hurry. The next morning, there was a mess in front of Quanye Bank, except for an old man who picked up rags to pick up some paper.He picked up a certificate of deposit and looked at it.At this time, a young man in a robe came over: "Master, don't pick it up, it's useless." The old man said: "Can you show me how much it is?" The young man took it over and took a look: "One piece." Holding the certificate of deposit, the old man was extremely sorry: "A bag of noodles costs two yuan. Alas, this place is full of bills. How many bags of noodles are there!" After finishing speaking, he shook his head. There was a seal on the door of Quanye Bank, and two policemen guarded it with guns. A newspaper boy ran and shouted: "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The big news in this city is that Quanye Bank has closed down!" The old man looked at the newsboy, who also felt puzzled and subconsciously stopped.He looked at the old man and said, "Master, what do you want to do?" The old man said: "It would be great if you told me this letter the day before yesterday." After saying that, he shook his head. The wind came, and the certificates of deposit on the ground drifted away with the wind in the early winter morning. Three days later, there was a big sign at the entrance of Jufengde Hotel, with red letters on yellow paper: "Hongju Private Place". There are four tables downstairs, Lao Wu Dengbiao and some old employees and workers from Hongju Factory, eating and having fun. Deng Biao said: "It was reported in the newspaper just now that Zi Wenhai and his father were arrested from Jiyang." Old Wu asked, "What crime was convicted?" 登标说：“勾结日本商人诈骗银行。他不是会辩护吗？这回他倒省下律师费了！”说罢哈哈大笑。 金彪说：“都小声点！掌柜的不让大声说话。我看你快挨骂了。” 登标一缩头：“是。我说，金彪，天津开埠丁经理那日本太太真漂亮呀。要是日本人不占东北，咱也去日本弄一个来。” 老吴训斥：“你这话要是让掌柜的听见，没别的，两个大嘴巴。” 登标笑笑：“这不是掌柜的没在这里嘛！” 老吴说：“别在这里胡说八道了。王长更那桌不用去了，他陪着就行了。咱仨分开，一人一桌。那些老工人，都是跟着掌柜的创业的老弟兄们，掌柜的说了，一会儿他下来敬酒，要是一看咱几个没陪着，那准是劈头就骂！快点！” 这楼上有个中等大小的餐厅，外边是女席，寿亭等人坐在里头。两个房间之间是个月亮门。 女席上，东俊太太在上首，她旁边是涛飞太太，然后是采芹，接着是丁文东的日本太太，然后是家驹的双太太和东初的太太。丁太太穿着日本和服。 东俊太太说：“采芹妹子，你让着丁太太吃。我让着周太太吃。” 采芹忙布菜，丁太太忙还礼：“六嫂你吃。” 采芹说：“妹子，你说，这两下里不打仗多好。让你那国里这一闹，弄得你也没法回娘家看看。那些领头管国的最能添乱，没事你打的哪门子仗呀！妹子，吃菜。” 东俊太太说：“丁家弟妹，这中国人好，这中国男人更好，是不是？” 丁太太含羞地点点头。大家都笑她。 采芹说：“妹子，你吃菜。这两下里打仗和咱姐妹无关。他打他的，咱吃咱的，你别不吃不喝的。” 丁太太低着头：“我穿着和服，坐在这里就觉得对不起大家。刚才一下汽车，大街上的人都看我。我说不穿和服，六哥不愿意。他命令文东说，要是我不穿和服来，他就一脚把文东踹出去！” Everyone laughed. 里面，东俊上首，他左面是林祥荣，右面是家驹，对面是寿亭。寿亭左面是周涛飞，右面是丁文东。寿亭听着外面笑，就说：“这窝子娘们儿，组织的这个国际会餐还挺闹！” Everyone laughed. 林祥荣说：“我见过好多日本女人，丁太太是最漂亮的。”说着竖起大拇指。 文东说：“本来是挺漂亮，可这日本人一占东三省，我看着一天比一天丑！” Everyone laughs. 林祥荣说：“丁太太不仅漂亮，而且大智大勇。那天我在宾馆送他俩去竞标现场，丁先生的风度自然不用说了，丁太太神情镇定，那气质真是目空四海。六哥，你是不知道，把整个国际饭店全给镇住了！” 寿亭说：“我在家里一炮巡着河，提着心，吊着胆，整夜睁着眼。幸亏没去，就是去了，兴许也看不出个四五六来。” Everyone laughed harder. 东初问：“文东，你面对着那么多日本人，不怕人家认出来？万一有见过明石有信的怎么办？” 文东说：“东初兄，你没去过日本，他那个熊社会，穷人就是穷人，富人就是富人，根本掺和不上。现在楼下，就是跟着六哥青岛创业的工人，上的菜也一样，酒也是剑南春，六哥一会儿还要下去敬酒。这在日本根本没法想象，穷人和富人根本沾不上边。商人也一样，也是下等人。明治维新之后，商人才算有了一点地位。过去贵族武士在马路当中，商人之类的要溜着墙根儿走，根本不敢抬起头来四处乱看。人家西洋的贵族是彬彬有礼，日本的贵族是不知道天高地厚，只相当于中国的土豪。别说他们认不出我来，就是认出来也不敢说。现在这是进步了，过去日本的贵族随便杀人。再说了，我是假的，你弟妹是真的，明石有信就是她姐夫，我也认识，长得也差不太多。再有涛飞兄和我那四个留日同学起着哄，又是要退场，又是先让日本人投标的，那些真日本人全傻了，光剩下鞠躬了。” 寿亭说：“那些咱就不说了，在座的都是你的老哥，说说，你怎么把弟妹勾住的？” 文东笑了：“六哥，她这是竞标把咱抢来的。咱家老爷子当时也是北洋政府的高级官员，天朝上邦，泱泱大国。说起来，我和訾文海是同学校友，东京帝国大学里女生少得都能数过来。每一个女生，家里都有背景！还我勾她？她要不在家里绝了食，逼得她哥，还有那明石有信，跑到我这里来双鞠躬，她根本得不了咱这标！” Everyone laughed harder. 寿亭总结道：“你这标既然让人家夺了，就好好地按照合同办。我要是再听涛飞说，你在家里骂她，我一脚踹死你！” 文东说：“六哥，你不知道，日本人那节太多。一到过节，天津那些不着四六的日本人，就上我家去给她请安，烦死我了！” 家驹说：“人家又不是去看你，你就将就着吧。涛飞，这回你演得也行，咱弟兄俩喝一个！” 林祥荣说：“第一功就是家驹兄。这德国SIN胶不是真正学纺织的，绝对不知道。这是最新的技术。家驹兄常看专业杂志吧？来，还有涛飞，咱三人干一杯！” 三人一饮而尽。涛飞放下杯子，说：“还是林老爷子厉害，法国领事馆全力协助，又是警车开道，拍卖行根本没见过这个阵势。” 寿亭说：“我当初就想，这事儿成不成，全看老爷子的了。訾文海实际上中了老爷子的巡河炮。” 林祥荣说：“六哥，你猜我最怕什么？” 寿亭说：“噢？还有悬的？” 祥荣说：“法国领事馆的那辆汽车破了，根本没法用。实在没办法，就用了我爸爸的车。上海印染纺织行业的人，都认识那辆汽车。我就怕马子雄站在外边，认出那辆汽车。” 寿亭说：“不会！马经理那时候正坐在台上忙着挂浆呢！” 林祥荣笑得实在受不了，捂着嘴跑到门口站着。 林祥荣再次坐下后，东俊端起杯来：“寿亭，当着涛飞文东我就不叫小六子了，你这一计……” 寿亭抬手制止：“东俊哥，别这一计那一计的了。我提议，大家都端起来，还是敬咱那些爹娘一杯吧！要不是咱那些爹娘谈恋爱，能生出咱这一伙子来？” 下午，林老爷在书房看书，林祥荣进来了：“爸爸，我回来了。” 林老爷笑笑：“坐吧。” 林祥荣坐下了： “爸爸，我完全按你说的做的。火车快开了，我把装着本票的信封交给了家驹。我告诉他第二天再打开。”他说得挺得意。 林老爷苦笑一下：“你去济南的时候，也就是刚上火车，竞标得来的那五十八万就到了咱的账上！唉！” 林祥荣惊得站起来。林老爷示意他坐下，林祥荣坐回原处。 林老爷独自唏嘘不已，似是忘了儿子的存在。稍后，他看着祥荣说：“阿荣，马子雄是活蹦乱跳地去的，是用担架抬回来的。这还是他家里花了大钱，才没让警察抓起来。这马子雄自称上海印染第一高手，可是在寿亭面前连一个回合都走不上！唉，我就不明白，陈寿亭这样的人，我怎么就得不着呢？”林老爷站起来在书房里来回走，林祥荣也跟着站起来。林老爷越走越快，走着走着，突然回过头：“不行！你发电报，我这就去济南。你马上派人去订票。也给苗先生发一份，就写五个字：'再战铁公祠'！”
