Chapter 1154 1156 [Moving]
"He's leaving now?" After Liao Zhen went out, Zhang Yongcheng took Ye Zhun back to the lobby and asked in surprise.
She thought that Liao Zhen was coming in a menacing manner, and he had to fight today. Unexpectedly, there was loud thunder and little rain.
"Isn't it good to go away." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Xiao Zhun, go over there to read first, I have something to say with my mother."
Ye Zhun ran over to study, Xiang Nan pulled Zhang Yongcheng to sit down, "Honey, I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, what's the matter?" Zhang Yongcheng asked suspiciously.
"I want to move, to Macau, what do you think?" Xiang Nan asked.
In two years, Japan will invade China in an all-round way. North China, South China, and East China will all be invaded. At that time, there will be a hail of bullets and cannon fire, even if you are skilled, it will be difficult to resist.
After Dongying occupied the mountain, they burned, killed and looted here, doing all kinds of evil. The original population of Fushan was more than 300,000, but after it was occupied, only 70,000 remained.
The people are devastated and hungry everywhere. Ye Wen's family has been reduced to abject poverty because of the occupation of the ancestral home and the seizure of family property. As a result, the whole family couldn't even afford porridge. Therefore, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he must not stay in Fushan anymore.
Xiang Nan wants to move to Macau.
Macao was a rare neutral zone during World War II, and it was not baptized by artillery fire. So there, personal safety is more or less guaranteed.
"Why do you want to move all of a sudden?" Zhang Yongcheng asked in surprise.
Xiang Nan never mentioned this to her before. Now she suddenly proposed to move, which really puzzled her.
"Too many people in Fushan know my name, and people come to challenge me from time to time. To be honest, I also find it very annoying." Xiang Nan said, "Then it's better to move to another place, no one knows me, no one knows me." Knowing me, we can live our lives steadily. What do you think?"
"Husband, you really think so, are you really willing to give up kung fu?" Zhang Yongcheng asked in surprise and joy.
She didn't like her husband playing kung fu. It would be really nice if he could actually quit.
"Kung Fu still needs to be practiced. After all, it's a troubled time now, and it's not easy to be bullied. It's better to prepare than not to use, and not to be prepared when not available." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "But I promise you, if it is not necessary, I will Just don’t know how to fight with people.”
Zhang Yongcheng thought for a while, then nodded, without any further persuasion.
It is not easy to get such a promise from him.
"If you want to agree, then we are going to move in a few days." Xiang Nan said again.
"Well, don't forget, Brother Quan invited you to drink tea tomorrow." Zhang Yongcheng said again.
Xiang Nan nodded, "I know all about it."
…
Turning the other day, Xiang Nan came to Shan Restaurant for an appointment with his friend Zhou Qingquan.
Zhou Qingquan is a rich businessman and a progressive person in Dishan, who wants to save the country through industry.
Ye Wen and him have been friends for more than ten years and have a close relationship.
"Master Ye, good~", "Master Ye, good morning~"
Entering the teahouse, there are people who take the initiative to say hello along the way.
The Ye family is a well-known family in the mountains. Ye Wen is not only first-class in martial arts, but also in popularity, so he is respected.
Xiang Nan greeted all the way to the counter.
"Master Ye~" Wu Chilin, the owner of the restaurant, greeted him proactively.
Xiang Nan smiled and cupped his hands, "Is Brother Quan here?"
"Just arrived, I'm waiting for you up there." Wu Chilin laughed immediately.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, then walked upstairs, entered the box, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Quan, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."
"Sorry, I'm busy." Xiang Nan smiled.
"What else can you be busy with," Zhou Qingquan said with a smile, "It's just drinking tea, eating and working hard."
"Hey, more than that, to be honest, I've been busy with a major event recently." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Qingquan asked curiously.
"I'm going to move." Xiang Nan whispered.
"Moving?! Why?" Zhou Qingquan asked doubtfully.
"The Orientals are coming." Xiang Nan lowered his voice and said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone I have a wife and children. For their sake, I have to move."
"How do you know that the Orientals are coming?" Zhou Qingquan asked in surprise.
"It's been published in the newspapers. The Dongyang people signed the "Hemei Agreement" with the Guominfu, and the Central Army will withdraw from the land of Yanzhao. If North China is not guaranteed, how long can South China last?" Xiang Nan explained, "According to me It is estimated that within two years, Toyo will launch a full-scale offensive against China, so we cannot be careless."
Zhou Qingquan fell silent, and said after a while, "Then where are you going to move?"
"Macau." Xiang Nan replied, "It is a territory controlled by the Portuguese. For the sake of international influence, the Orientals are unlikely to burn, kill and loot there, so it is safer."
"Then why don't you go to Xiangjiang?" Zhou Qingquan asked suspiciously.
"Xiangjiang is now under the control of the United Kingdom. Britain and Germany are old enemies, but Germany and Japan are allies. Germany intends to unify Europe, and Toyo intends to unify Asia. A world war is imminent.
When the time comes, the enemy of a friend will be an enemy, and the enemy of an enemy will be a friend. The Orientals will definitely occupy Xiangjiang, so it is not reliable to move to Xiangjiang.
Portugal is weak, and is no longer the maritime hegemony of the past. Neither Germany nor Japan will take it seriously, so it can survive in the cracks. Macau will also become the only neutral zone. "Xiang Nan explained.
Zhou Qingquan was stunned.
He didn't expect that Ye Wen, a martial artist, would have such insight into the general trend of the world.
Moreover, listening to his analysis, he was surprised that he was so thorough and orderly.
"Brother Quan, I know you want to save the country through industry. But now you are building a factory in Fushan, and within two years it will be occupied by the Orientals. Not only did you fail to save the country, but you became an enemy.
So let's go, let's go to Macau together. At that time, you can open any factory you want. But don't stay in Fushan, this place is no longer a pure land of peace and happiness. "
"I'll think about it." Zhou Qingquan nodded and said without mentioning the investment.
Xiang Nan’s dialect has a very clear meaning. Now investing in the construction of a factory in Fushan, the factory will be taken away by the Orientals in the future, which is equivalent to capitalizing on the enemy. So don't ask again, he will definitely not invest.
And I should think carefully about whether to invest in Fushan again.
If you really can't save the country, but become an enemy instead, your intestines will have to regret it.
…
After drinking tea, Xiang Nan returned home and went to the study with Zhang Yongcheng.
"Husband, I've done the calculations. Our family now has 85,000 cash, two shops, and 560 acres of paddy fields..." Zhang Yongcheng reported to him.
Xiang Nan nodded.
In 2035, although the price of goods rose year after year, it was generally stable, and a stone of white rice was only twelve silver dollars. Unlike in 1937, when the war broke out, the authorities printed money arbitrarily, which led to inflation and soaring prices.
In just a few years, prices have increased by tens, millions, or tens of millions of times. By 1948, a bowl of rice cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and a pack of matches cost several thousand yuan.
So at present, the Ye family is still very rich.
"Honey, follow me to Macau tomorrow." Xiang Nan said.
If you want to move to Macau, you always have to buy a house first.
Zhang Yongcheng nodded.
