Chapter 1155 1157【There is a big mess】
Turning the other day, Xiang Nan and Zhang Yongcheng took their son Ye Zhun to Macau.
They first took the train to Guangzhou City, and then took a boat to Macau from there.
After a day of ups and downs, the three of them arrived in Macau and stayed in a local hotel first.
A few days later, Xiang Nan was planning to buy a house, so he first asked a middleman to help him find a house.
"Where did Mr. Ye come from?" Mr. Zhao asked with a smile.
"Xiangjiang." Xiang Nan nodded, not wanting to reveal his details.
"Xiangjiang?! That's much more prosperous than Macau." Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Why do you still come here to buy a house?"
Since the opening of Macao, its development has not been as good as that of Xiangjiang. Therefore, it has always been people from Macao who have come to work in Xiangjiang, but not many in turn.
"Everyone has their own aspirations." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, unwilling to talk further, "Mr. Zhao, is the house I'm looking for easy to find?"
"It's not easy to find, but it's all wrapped up on me." Mr. Zhao said, patting his chest.
Xiang Nan wants a big house with a single family. There are not many such mansions in Macau, so it takes some effort.
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
In the next few days, he took his wife and son around while waiting for the middleman to show him the house.
Macau in the 1930s was far less prosperous than later generations, and only the Ruins of St. Paul's, Mount Fortress, and A-Ma Temple were worth seeing.
While they were wandering around, they were spotted by a group of local hooligans.
"Sir, I don't have much money recently, so let me borrow some money." The leader looked at Xiang Nan and sneered.
The men behind him looked fierce, but looked at Xiang Nan with a sneer, but looked at Zhang Yongcheng beside him, with lustful eyes.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Xiang Nan smiled slightly.
"Thirty or fifty is not too little, seven hundred or eight hundred is not too much." The hooligan laughed.
"I have ten dollars here, please have a cup of tea." Xiang Nan smiled, took out ten dollars and said.
At this time, prices in Macau are still relatively low, ten oceans is enough to eat a shark fin feast.
Although Xiang Nan is a strong dragon, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. When encountering such a hooligan, unless you have to, you can do it or not.
Otherwise, if you are really entangled by this kind of petty person, you will have a headache in the future.
"Ten yuan, you should send it as a beggar. Tell you, it's not five hundred yuan, don't even think about it!" the hooligan said angrily.
Xiang Nan's actions not only failed to dispel his greed, but made him feel weak and deceitful.
"That means there is nothing to talk about?" Xiang Nan sneered.
"Yes, if you don't give it, I will kill you." The hooligan shouted.
"His wife looks pretty good, you can play with her first, and then sell her to a brothel when she gets tired of playing." His little brothers also boasted wildly.
Just as they were talking, Xiang Nan jumped forward with a tiger pounce, and then punched the head of the hooligan five meters away, falling to the ground and being unable to move.
Afterwards, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he punched and kicked all the hooligans to the ground, and fell to the ground one by one, whining endlessly.
"Do you want to fight again?" Xiang Nan asked coldly.
"No, no." All the hooligans waved their hands again and again.
Xiang Nan's kung fu was too high, and the eight of them were all knocked down without even holding up for a round. If the fight continues, they must die.
"Get out!" Xiang Nan ordered immediately.
The hooligans also knew that they had provoked a tough guy, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they all supported each other and rolled away.
"Honey, are you okay?" Zhang Yongcheng ran over with Ye Zhun and asked concerned.
"It's okay." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Honey, I'm sorry, I did it again. In fact, they say I can bear everything else, but I can't help it when I hear them say you."
Zhang Yongcheng smiled and shook his head.
Her husband did it to protect her. Not only was she not angry, but she was moved.
The day after beating off the hooligans, Mr. Zhao took Xiang Nan to see a flat.
This suite is located in Xiwangyang Lane, Macau. It was built in 1894. It is a two-story building with a usable area of 400 square meters and a courtyard of 200 square meters.
It turned out to be a Portuguese businessman Gaide's villa, which was later bought by Litton Company for office use.
After seeing it, Xiang Nan felt that the house was suitable. Good size, location and price.
So, after discussing the price several times, I finally bought this house at a price of 3,600 yuan.
Pay the money with one hand, hand over the house with the other hand, and get the house deed and land deed.
…
Afterwards, Xiang Nan took his wife and children back to Fushan to prepare for house sale, land sale and relocation.
In addition, he is also planning to remodel the villa.
He not only wants to upgrade and strengthen the walls of the villa, but also digs a shelter inside the villa. Reserve enough food such as rice noodles, oil, sugar, etc. for at least four years. Another well has to be drilled to ensure the safety of drinking water. To ensure that during the Anti-Japanese War, their family will not go hungry.
Because as far as he knows, Macau is not a paradise. During World War II, although it was not invaded by the East, a military officer's office was established to control materials, check and seize personnel, and even the docks were blocked.
Moreover, because it has not suffered from war, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims flooded into Macau, which also caused the population of Macau, which had a population of less than 100,000, to surge. Coupled with Dongyang's blockade of the docks and control of supplies, Macau was starved to death, and more than 10,000 people died of starvation.
Therefore, if preparations are not made early, Xiang Nan's family will still be unable to escape the fate of starvation.
…
After returning to Mt. Xiang, Xiang Nan started preparations.
At this time, the housekeeper Uncle Wang came to report, and Zhou Qingquan came to visit.
Xiang Nan hurriedly expressed his welcome.
"Ah Wen, where have you been these few days?" Zhou Qingquan asked, cupping his hands.
Xiang Nan explained how he went to Macau to buy a house.
"Do you really want to move?" Zhou Qingquan asked in surprise.
I didn’t want Xiang Nan to move so fast. He said he was going to move that day, so he went to buy a house right away. It was really fast enough.
"Brother Quan, time is running out, we don't have much time left." Xiang Nan explained, "We must seize the time to complete the transfer of assets and make necessary preparations for the coming of the war."
Renovating villas, stockpiling supplies, and selling houses and land are not things that can be done in a flash.
Two years of preparation is not too much.
Zhou Qingquan nodded, "In this case, I will also visit Macau. If possible, I will build a factory there."
"Okay, it's good if you can think that way." Xiang Nan laughed.
…
As soon as Zhou Qingquan was sent away, Wu Chilin, who opened the restaurant, came to Ye's house.
"Master Ye, this is a new dim sum in our restaurant. It's just out of the oven. I'll bring it for you to try." He said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, I've made up my mind." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Master Ye, where have you been the past few days, there is a big disturbance in the mountains, do you know?" Wu Chilin asked again.
"What kind of trouble can happen?" Xiang Nan laughed.
"In the past few days, a few northerners have come to Fushan, kicking the gymnasium everywhere, looking for people to compete, and many masters in the martial arts street have been beaten." Wu Chilin said, "Master Ye, you have to stand up, you can't let the Those Yankees are so arrogant that they think there is no one left in our mountains."
