In the second half of 1931, the Northeast Incident shocked the world.
Sweden newspapers carried the news.
After Jin Quan found out, he looked up to the sky and sighed. What he hated the most in his life were the Dongying people. Now the Dongying people have invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces, the land has been lost, and the people are suffering, which makes him really sad and inexplicable.
Xiang Nan was also very angry when he heard about this, so he specially wrote "On the Songhua River", which was then telegraphed back to China and published in "Ta Kung Pao".
“My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast
There are forest coal mines
And the soybean sorghum all over the mountains
…
Dad and mother, father and mother.
when,
to get together? ! "
The touching lyrics, touching melody, and the grief and indignation of the country's destruction and family destruction made this song quickly sung across the country, awakening the enthusiasm and determination of the nation to resist Japan, and igniting the flames of resistance against Japan in all parts of China.
…
Entering the year of 2032, Leng Qingqiu completed the postgraduate courses and officially graduated.
She originally wanted to continue her PhD studies, but was persuaded by Xiang Nan.
"The major of literature is originally a test of talent and works, but the requirements for academic qualifications are not high. Throughout the ages, so many writers have never even attended a university, but they can still write works that will last forever and are well-known." Xiang Nan smiled. Said, "On the contrary, those PhDs in literature may not have a successful work.
So in my opinion, literature should still focus on creation, and blindly pursuing higher education is not advisable. What's more, the pursuit of high education and neglect of creation is going the opposite direction. "
Leng Qingqiu also felt that it made sense when he heard what he said.
So he stopped thinking about pursuing a doctorate, but stayed at home and prepared to write a novel related to the Great Depression.
However, a few days after she was about to start writing, Xiang Nan found out that she was pregnant.
This is another good thing for the Jin family.
For this reason, Xiang Nan specially bought a small island to celebrate.
…
In fact, after the stock market crash, Xiang Nan already had enough money to buy the best house in Sweden.
It's just that Leng Qingqiu was still studying at that time, and everyone had just encountered the Great Depression, and it was a time of mourning. He spent a huge sum of money to buy a villa, and he was easily hated by others.
That's why he waited for three years, waited for Leng Qingqiu to graduate with a master's degree, and waited for people to adapt to the Great Depression before spending money to buy his first luxury house.
The mansion is located on a small island off the coast of Stockholm. The entire island covers an area of more than 900 acres, and there is only one super-large mansion, which can be said to be a single family.
The original owner of this mansion was Gustav Lagheim, a well-known Swedish rich man. He used to be a giant in the financial world, the president of the Swedish Commercial Bank, and his net worth was as high as 50 million kroner.
This small island named Osretta was bought by Gustav and built into a villa for the family to use on weekends and holidays.
Gustav also failed due to investment, and his family property returned to zero overnight. From the top giant in the industry in the past to a super negative man with tens of millions of debts. In the end, he couldn't bear the pressure and jumped into the sea to die.
The small island of Osleta was also auctioned because of this, but because of the high price, the auction was repeatedly rejected. Until now, Xiang Nan bought it in one fell swoop with a price of one million krona.
The small island of Oresta covers an area of thousands of acres. Not only does it have an almost invincible sea view, but it is also a single family. You can get it for only a million crowns, which is really worth it.
You must know that the property rights of this small island are permanent and can be passed on to future generations in the future. At that time, whether it is used for living, vacationing, or developing real estate, it will be up to the island owner.
The reason why Xiang Nan wanted to buy the island was because of its cost-effectiveness and degree of freedom.
…
After buying the small island of Oresta, Xiang Nan planted trees all over the island. Not only did he require the whole tree to be transplanted, but he also planted it strictly according to the location he had set, and it was almost impossible.
His picky approach made the tree planters feel baffled, and felt that this oriental was really too difficult to serve.
If it weren't for the Great Depression, it would be difficult to find a job to support a family, and they would not be willing to suffer from it. But now, in order to make a living, they could only listen to Xiang Nan's orders and plant the trees meticulously according to the location he pointed out.
After the trees were planted, Xiang Nan moved his family to the island.
"Yanxi, why are there so many trees on this island?" Bai Xiuzhu looked at the trees on the island. In addition to apples, pears, persimmons, cherries and other fruit trees, there were also spruces, pine trees, birches, poplars, etc. She couldn't help but say in surprise.
She didn't know that these trees were actually planted by Xiang Nan, and she thought they were left by the original island owner.
"Who knows, maybe the original owner likes to plant trees." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, come with me, don't fall behind. This island is a bit strange, if you are not careful, you will get lost."
He then led them zigzagging through the woods to the front of the mansion.
"Yanxi, why is this road so difficult, with twists and turns." Leng Qingqiu asked doubtfully.
After entering the woods, instead of going straight, I turned left and right, and sometimes I even went backwards, which was a dead end. Just now she didn't keep up, so she almost fell behind and got lost.
"I heard that the original owner of this island believed in Loki, the evil **** in Nordic mythology, so he made this island weird." Xiang Nan explained, "So be careful, and don't get lost. Otherwise, the island It’s so big, it’s hard to find it if you lose it.”
"No way?! So dangerous? Then you still buy this island?" Xiao Lian asked puzzled.
"Isn't that right? It's not easy for us to leave. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for thieves?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
…
After Xiang Nan bought the island, he deliberately planted those trees on the island according to the Qimen Dunjia technique taught by Huang Yaoshi.
In this way, it is absolutely impossible for others to go to the island to harass, and it is better than any security measures.
Xiang Nan knew that the future would be World War II. Although Sweden is not involved in the war, it is better to be prepared.
Besides, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. After all, they are foreigners, and with so much money, it is inevitable that they will not be coveted.
Now that there is this island as a base, even if there are thousands of troops, they can't do anything with long guns and short cannons. It's like a peach blossom garden.
In order to better cope with the upcoming World War II, Xiang Nan also built a warehouse on the island and stored a large amount of supplies.
Such as canned food, sugar, fuel oil, honey, coffee, ham, cheese, flour, rice, charcoal, coal, red wine, white wine, cooking oil, and so on.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no war yet, Xiang Nan buys one ship after another, which makes Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu, Xiao Lian and others feel a little baffled.
