Chapter 1168 1170 [The wind is surging]
In the next two days, Xiang Nan took the time to visit his classmates and friends. For example, Wu Chi Lin, senior brother Wu Zhongsu, Yao Cai, Chen Xihou and so on.
"Master Ye, I didn't expect you to move as soon as you said." Wu Chilin said with emotion when he saw Xiang Nan again.
Last year Xiang Nan suggested that he move. After thinking about it, he still decided not to move.
One thing, only Xiang Nan said that the Dongyang people wanted to call, but no one else believed it. Therefore, he did not have much confidence because of the herd mentality.
Two, the homeland is hard to leave. The restaurant was passed down to him and Sha Danyuan by his father, and he was also told to guard the inheritance of his ancestors. Because of this, he couldn't just throw it away.
"Wu Zhilin, listen to my persuasion, if you are willing, if you are willing, there is no gain if you are not willing." Xiang Nan persuaded, "I think you have read the newspapers. The Nationalist Mansion and the Orientals signed the "He Mei Agreement". It was sold. How many days do you think South China will be able to live in peace?
At that time, when the Orientals come and burn, kill and loot, your restaurant cannot be kept at all. It's better to go to Macau with me and avoid disaster.
You must know that if you lose your land, you will lose your land. Save people and lose land, and all people and land will survive. As long as the people are still there, the restaurant is still there. Otherwise, if everyone is dead, will there still be restaurants? "
"Master Ye, I..." Wu Chi Lin hesitated greatly.
"You don't have to make a decision now. In short, there is still some time before the Dongyang people come." Xiang Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Promise me, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Come to Macau to find me if you have something to do, and stay with Qingshan." , don’t worry about running out of firewood.”
Wu Chi Lin nodded when he heard this, "I've made a note, Master Ye."
…
In the next few days, members of the Ye family rushed to buy land, buildings, and shops from Xiang Nan.
More than 500 mu of fertile land, two shopfronts in the downtown area, and the best big house in Fushan. This is an unprecedented bargain.
"Awen, tell the second uncle the truth, why did you move to Macau?" The second uncle twirled his beard and asked, "Is it true that the Orientals are coming?"
"Second Uncle, I won't hide it from you, there is indeed such a possibility." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
"Since this is the case, shouldn't the land price be lowered?" The second uncle said with a slight smile, "After all, if the Orientals really come, I will be in vain when I buy this land."
"Second Uncle, the reason why I sell my fields, houses, and pavement at half price is because there is a risk that the Orientals will come. Otherwise, why should I sell at a lower price and lose tens of thousands of oceans?" He waved his hand and said, "If you want to buy it, you have to take risks. If you think the risk is too high, then you don't buy it. It is impossible to lower the price."
"Whoever says not to buy it, I'm just asking." The second uncle said immediately, "I want the forty acres of paddy fields east of the Wang Family Vegetable Garden."
Xiang Nan nodded his head when he heard it, feeling emotional in his heart.
These tribesmen only care about their immediate interests and don't care about the risks they will face next.
They asked him about the Dongyang people, just for the convenience of lowering prices, not to plan ahead and make early plans.
What a pity!
Finally, those fertile fields, mansions, and shops were all covered by the Ye family. In the end, it was sold for nearly 30,000 yuan, which made Xiang Nan's wallet a lot bigger.
…
After selling his ancestral property, Xiang Nan returned to Macau with the money.
Since then, there is not much connection between him and Fu Shan.
In addition to storing food, Xiang Nan also stocked firewood, coal, charcoal, kerosene, tooth powder, soap, commonly used medicines, etc., to ensure that he was prepared.
As he continued to purchase, the basement gradually became full.
Seeing so many material reserves, Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling more and more at ease.
…
While Xiang Nan was busy stocking up, the outside environment was constantly changing.
On February 26, the February 26 Mutiny occurred in Dongyang. The Emperor's Dao faction, which supported the war with the Soviet Union, failed in the mutiny, and was kicked out of the decision-making circle by the Control faction that sought to encroach on China.
Since then, the military's influence on the decision-making of the Cheng government has greatly increased, causing Dongyang to fall into the quagmire of war in an all-round way, and accelerating the pace of invading China.
On March 7, the German army violated the Versailles Agreement, entered the left bank of the Rhine, and announced the abolition of the "Locarno Convention", that is, the "German-French Peace Treaty".
Facing Germany's move, Britain and France adopted appeasement policies one after another, turning a blind eye to it and ignoring it, which made Germany's arrogance even more arrogant.
In July, the Spanish Civil War broke out. Germany and Italy interfered in Spain's internal affairs, while Britain and France adopted a policy of non-interference, which led to the establishment of fascist rule in Spain, which greatly enhanced the influence of Germany and Italy and fueled their arrogance.
In October, Germany and Italy signed the "Berlin Agreement", and the Axis Powers were formally established.
In November, Germany and Japan signed the "Japan-Germany-Fang Kokomo Agreement", announcing that the Orient had joined the Axis powers.
December 12th, Double Twelve Incident. The two generals Zhang and Yang launched a military remonstrance, demanding [stop the civil war and unanimously external].
After half a month of consultations, the incident was resolved peacefully, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party realized the second cooperation, which led to the establishment of the anti-Japanese national united front.
…
Although the outside world is turbulent, but this three-acre land in Macau has not had any major events this year.
The upper class is still dreaming of life and death. Receptions and dances are still held, and no one has ever worried about the future.
In their view, the Double Twelve Incident was not even more eye-catching than the southern king Chen Jitang's rebellion against Chiang.
Chen Jitang is a warlord in eastern Guangdong. Since 1932, with the help of Hu Hanmin's influence, he has been listening to Lao Jiang and not listening to propaganda. He formed his own faction and ruled eastern Guangdong.
While he was in charge of eastern Guangdong, although he claimed to ban smoking and gambling, he actually used the gambling king Huo Tingzhi to set up casinos in Wuyang and Baoan.
Huo Tingzhi’s casino is well-decorated and equipped with advanced gambling equipment, which attracts all the tourists from Wuyang and Xiangjiang. As a result, Macau’s casinos are sparsely populated and there are few cars and horses, so the business is greatly affected.
In 36 years, after Hu Hanmin's death, Lao Jiang took the opportunity to seek Eastern Guangdong.
Chen Jitang immediately contacted Li Zongjiao, Bai Chongxi and other Guangxi warlords to fight against Chiang. As a result, due to civil strife among the warlords, the anti-Chiang failed. Chen Jitang announced his resignation and went to Xiangjiang.
After Lao Jiang took over the eastern part of Guangdong, he once again announced a ban on smoking and gambling. Customers from Wuyang and Xiangjiang came to Macau for consumption one after another, and Macau's gambling industry flourished again.
So the upper-class people in Macau are not afraid of the turmoil outside, on the contrary they are very happy.
Because the more chaotic the society, the stronger people's desire to enjoy themselves in time, and the more they come to Macau to play, eat, drink, watch and gamble. The more developed Macau's economy is, the more money they make.
Seeing the corruption of society, Xiang Nan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
