Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Zhang Xiaolin boarded the Japanese boat

Zhang Xiaolin owns a villa in Moganshan, a summer resort in Zhejiang, with thousands of poles of bamboo, all green and green, known as "Linhai". "August 13th" was the battle in Shanghai, but he was leisurely and carefree, and he didn't care about everything. No matter that the Shanghai beach was turned upside down and there was a sea of ​​corpses and blood, he quietly went to the mountain to rest and enjoy his leisure in the summer.However, when the battle in Shanghai lasted for three months, the Japanese army's elite troops came out and fought three-dimensionally. The national army was fighting for every inch of land, and gradually couldn't support it. Seeing that the position was about to be transferred, the Japanese stepped up their preparations for throwing water and instigating rebellion. .As for Du Yuesheng, they fought even more urgently, and made tens of millions of plans. While closely monitoring his actions, they kept the second of Shanghai's "three tycoons" at bay, advised Huang Jinrong to stay still, and ensure his life and property before dispatching People sneaked into Mogan Mountain and had secret talks with him, telling him to please the Japanese elders in this way.Zhang Xiaolin opened the door and sat in the mountain. VIPs came from afar. When the Japanese invited him, he couldn't help being overjoyed. He immediately made preparations and hurried back to Shanghai.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng got the news. He was very happy, and excitedly walked through the moon gate that divided Du and Zhang's families in the middle. As soon as he entered Zhang Xiaolin's living room, he shouted affectionately: "Brother Xiaolin, you're back!" Zhang Xiaolin put down the opium pipe, but did not lift his body. He turned his face sideways, glanced at Du Yuesheng, and replied very coldly: "Yue Sheng, you are very busy these days." Hearing this, Du Yuesheng knew that something was wrong with the commander-in-chief, so he immediately accompanied him carefully, put on a smile, walked over, and leaned against Zhang Xiaolin, so the two brothers lay side by side, separated by a smoke lamp, Du Yuesheng struck up a conversation say:

"The busier you are, the better your energy." Zhang Xiaolin didn't answer and ignored him, he drew the gun and drew it fiercely, he deliberately sprayed out the top-grade cloud and earth light, and sprayed it over with mouthfuls of smoke, wrapping Du Yuesheng's face tightly in the cloud and mist. Old brothers meet again after parting, how can they not talk to each other?Du Yuesheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened his mouth again: "Brother Xiaolin, the news ahead is not very good recently." It wasn't until the tube of cigarettes was exhausted that Zhang Xiaolin replied with a sneer:

"Fuck me!" "Brother Xiaolin," Du Yuesheng yelled, and then paused, his tone clearly showed that his concern was from the heart, "Could it be that you are still staying in Shanghai when the Orientals are calling?" Putting down the bong heavily, Zhang Xiaolin Bao opened his eyes and said aggressively: "What can it do? The Orientals are going to break into the French Concession?" Du Yuesheng managed to maintain a smile and said: "Entering the concession, I don't think it will be possible for a while, but..." Before he could say a word, Zhang Xiaolin rushed to interrupt him and said:

"Since the Japanese won't enter the foreign concession, why are you calling me to run away?" "However," Du Yuesheng said anxiously, "When the Orientals took over Shanghai, this concession has become an isolated island. We can't be trapped here, can't we get out of these streets in ten or eight years?" Zhang Xiaolin leaned forward, sat up awkwardly, stared directly at Du Yuesheng with twinkling eyes, so Du Yuesheng also sat up straight, and the two brothers faced each other, asking and answering, but the faster they asked, the faster the answers.

"So what if you leave the concession?" "I'm afraid the Orientals won't let me go." "Why don't the Japanese let you go?" "Because I am Chinese." "When the Orientals come to China, they don't want the Chinese anymore?" "This—I, Du, will never be a subjugated slave and be bullied by the Orientals?" "Since when did the Orientals bully you?" "Brother Xiaolin, did you hear the sound of cannons outside? Do you know how many of our compatriots we have to die for every cannon fired by the Orientals?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't calculated it, as long as the cannonballs don't bloom on the top of my head." "Brother Xiaolin..." Zhang Xiaolin was so annoyed that he didn't answer again. He tilted his body and leisurely picked out the smoke paste to burn the bubbles himself. After a while, Du Yuesheng made up his mind and said resolutely: "Brother Xiao Lin, no matter what, we have to go together, old brother, we will be together regardless of life or death." Zhang Xiaolin made an interruption on purpose and asked a question: "Go there?"

"Hongkong." "Do you have land in Hong Kong? Land? Do you have a bank? Do you have a factory?" "I have nothing," Du Yuesheng said sincerely, "but the central government..." "How much money does the central government give you per month?" "Brother Xiaolin, you know that I will never be an official in my life." "So, you want me to jump into the sea with you in Hong Kong?" "No, Brother Xiao Lin, a young man who is a quack, has a saying: 'Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out.'"

"You forgot, Yue Sheng, you are like me, you have never relied on your parents in your whole life, we earn our food and drink expenses, and our colorful world is created by ourselves!" "That is to say, Brother Xiaoling, we can also start businesses and open factories in Hong Kong!" "Don't worry about it, Yuesheng!" The cigarette stick in Zhang Xiaolin's hand dropped into the cigarette tray with a "snap". There was a burst of roaring, "Ever since you and my brother had a fight over the smudge a few years ago, I originally made up my mind that from now on you will take your Yangguan road and I will cross my single-plank bridge. Why don't we have a 'radish'?" Green vegetables, everyone loves their own.' Yuesheng, you like to open banks, run factories, be the chief gentleman, the speaker, the chairman, the seventeen or eighteen chairman of the board, then you just go for it. As for me, I love Yangtian, If I want to get rich, I still do my land and my gambling. When the national government takes over and the New Life Movement comes, I can’t do both land and gambling. I will live in the concession and make money, Xiaolei, If I can't make any money, I'll go home and eat my money. Yuesheng, don't you think this is very good?"

Du Yuesheng felt very sad when facing his old friend, he only murmured: "Brother Xiaolin!" "Although I have a heart to go back to the bridge and return to the bridge, everyone goes their own way, but Yuesheng," Zhang Xiaolin's voice lowered, as if he could not stop crying, "things are different today, I see you are going to go to the sea Go here, you can see what you want, if I don’t tell you because I’m afraid you will be upset, then I’m sorry brother.” "Brother Xiaolin, please tell me." "As I said just now, those tunes you love, such as prestige, fame, and status, you probably have them now. Well, you have your skills, and I can't help but admire you as an old brother. But, have you ever imagined? Except for a name, what have you gained over the years! You have held dozens of social and public positions, and you don’t take a dime, and you have to pay your expenses. Several banks have been opened, each with its own background Boss, the chairman and chairman of the board have hung up seventeen or eight. To put it bluntly, please tell me, Yuesheng, which one is really your property, Du Yuesheng? Communist Party, you owed 3 million oceans in that year, and it was Yantu who paid off the debt for you. This time it was the 26th year of the Republic of China. In the past ten years, in which year did you not dig the east wall to make up for the west wall? Let me calculate your debts for you, the minimum is three to five million. You are in Shanghai, and you can negotiate flexibly. If you take a step out of Shanghai, your prestige and status will be changed. I don’t know how many hands you have. Reach out to you! At that time, what money do you have to pay back?"

Bringing up this annoying big question, Zhang Xiaolin thought that Du Yuesheng would be speechless and dejected, but unexpectedly, Du Yuesheng laughed loudly, and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother Xiao Lin, I appreciate your advice. However, I have my own views on money. I don't say things like 'you can't be born, you can't take it with you when you die', 'money is something outside your body'. I just hold on to a Advocate, money can be used up, but friendship can’t be eaten up! So others save money, I save friendship, no amount of money can be saved, but friendship is as incalculable as heaven and earth!” Zhang Xiaolin is a big bastard who can't talk to Du Yuesheng. After being stunned for a long time, he eased his tone and changed the topic: "Yuesheng, tell me what's wrong with the Orientals?" "Brother Xiao Lin, you don't need to test me," Du Yuesheng smiled deeply, "You want me to say that there is only one disadvantage of the Orientals, and that is that since ancient times, we Chinese have never gone to the East to kill people and set fires. gun!" "Let me ask you one more question, Yuesheng, will the Orientals be of any benefit to us?" Du Yuesheng answered firmly: "Even if it's good, it's poison!" "Even if it's poison, it's good after all!" Zhang Xiaolin reversed the words and said plausibly, "Yuesheng, did you ever think that the arrival of the Orientals might turn the whole of China into the former French Concession? At that time, you, me, brother Jin Rong and countless old brothers may be able to start another big company that is ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times bigger than a big company." Du Yuesheng closed his eyes and said seriously: "These temptations are all nightmares!" "I think you're going to meditate!" Zhang Xiaolin said regretfully, "Okay, Yue Sheng, we don't need to talk any further. Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't compete with each other. In the final analysis, I just want to ask you: Do you think I am Have I told you everything in my heart?" "said." "Then, let me tell you too," Zhang Xiaolin said with a wry smile, "there are only a few common sayings left to tell you. You 'don't look at the water in the well, you just want to jump into the dragon's gate', beware of 'things It's expensive to be away from home, but cheap to be away from home', 'It's hot to shave your head', I only hope that one day you won't regret it, 'a hot face has a cold butt!'” "Brother Xiaolin, no." "I hope so." Zhang Xiaolin sighed, then put on a smile and said, "Yue Sheng, when are you leaving? Let me have a farewell trip for you?" Du Yuesheng smiled and said: "There is no sign of the horoscope, it's still early." "You and I have said everything." Zhang Xiaolin repeated without hesitation, "From now on, no matter what happened to you and me, even if we have a clear conscience, we are very worthy of each other." "Brother Xiaolin!" "Go and do your work, Yuesheng," Zhang Xiaolin suddenly said kindly, "I'm fine, I still want to have a good time." Du Yuesheng endured it for a while, then resigned sadly, and when he returned home, he seemed to have something on his mind, he was unhappy, and kept silent for a long time.
