The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 254 President Yuan
The subtitle of this chapter: Say goodbye and leave a piece of calligraphy.
"Brother Li, why do you look so grim? Is it because you haven't recovered yet and you're not feeling well?"
"No, no, no..." Li Beihai waved his hands quickly and said, "Second Master Yuan, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm really fine..."
In fact, he was thinking of some rumors in Anliang Hall. This sage from the Magic City seemed to have some magical methods. Seeing it today, it turned out to be true.
"That's good." Our Master Yuan nodded happily and said, "Brother Li, you've heard it too, right? I want to open a film company after returning to Shanghai. Oh, you see, Mr. Yang Jingbang is very supportive of this idea and can't wait to return to Shanghai. So..."
Yuan Yan suddenly glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "Brother, I just want to ask Brother Li, are you interested in joining us in this endeavor?"
He thought to himself, "I'm actually helping you. If you follow me back to Shanghai and start a film company, will things still be as miserable as they were in the original timeline? Then you'll be living a life of luxury and comfort..."
Xiao Yang just didn't realize how much effort and good intentions he had put into this. But it didn't matter, he would understand once he returned to Shanghai and became the chairman of the film company.
After returning to China, our Master Yuan had to write film scripts and shoot films, so he had to open a film company. However, he didn't want to be in charge of the daily affairs, so he found these two.
Yang Jingbang was not only his good friend, but also a native Shanghainese with some money at home. He was also the son-in-law of the Xi family of Shenbao.
The right time, right place, and right people all combine to create a perfect chairman for Xiao Yang's Fried Dumplings.
Besides, opening a film company sounds better than selling shengjian (stir-fried dumplings).
Nowadays, people who can make movies and understand business operations are extremely rare. The three Li brothers are such compound talents. It would be a pity to miss them.
"Well, this..." Li Beihai was actually a little tempted.
The reason why he was tempted was simple. How could Hong Kong in 1921 be compared with the Magic City in 1921?
In fact, from the perspective of geopolitical economics, the fact that Hong Kong, and of course Taiwan, have developed is simply an "anomaly."
Hong Kong is not Shanghai.
In the late Ming Dynasty, Shanghai was originally a county under Songjiang Prefecture, but today Songjiang has become a district of Shanghai. Therefore, the real "Shanghai", or "Susong Road", was actually the richest area in the entire Seres.
The development of the "Shanghai" area was a natural historical process. However, after becoming a colony, the economic form here became an unhealthy "blood-sucking economy" , and even the culture had the color of "comprador culture".
Therefore, the liberation of Shanghai in the future was definitely a rebirth.
For Shanghai, the choice of being a parasite or a locomotive is simply a no-brainer.
In contrast, Hong Kong is a complete parasite that relies on a "blood-sucking economy." Because of its long colonial period, the "comprador culture" of this place is even more profound, and it can no longer be washed away.
A hundred years from now, Hong Kong will be a parasite. Even if you ask it to be the locomotive, it will be too tired.
By the way, Taiwan is Hainan.
If it weren't for Lin Bei's legs sweeping away all of Seris's gold and foreign exchange, plus millions of highly skilled personnel and a lot of American aid, this mainland country's offshore islands would never have developed.
For a continental nation like Seres, placing important industries other than shipbuilding and petrochemicals on an outlying island with unstable geology and frequent typhoons would be sheer desperation. The shipbuilding and petrochemical industries were also established for national defense.
In fact, just look at the experiences of the Li brothers. Li Beihai, who stayed in Hong Kong, lost everything, while Li Minwei, who fled to Shanghai, achieved great success.
So how could the second brother of the Li family not be tempted?
"This is a serious matter. I still need to discuss it with my brothers." Li Beihai pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Second Master Yuan, please forgive me for not being able to give you an immediate answer."
"Hahaha, that's too serious. Of course, brothers like you should discuss this matter, but..."
Yuan Yan's laughter suddenly stopped, and he said solemnly, "Second Brother Li, please make a decision before I leave New York."
He thought to himself, "Actually, Shanghai has a large group of filmmakers. If you guys don't want to do it, then I'll find someone else. With their superb editing skills, who can't become a great director?"
If it weren’t for the fact that you are Gigi Lai’s elders... No, if it weren’t for the fact that your last name is Gigi Lai, I wouldn’t bother to help you.
Why does our Master Yuan have such a fondness for the surname Li? The reason is, of course, that he once wrote an online novel with a male protagonist named Li, so it's inevitable that he has a bit of affection for Li and his family.
Li Beihai nodded and said, "Second Master Yuan, I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible..."
“Tap, tap, tap.”
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the reception room.
Now that the matter was discussed, Yuan Yan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Come in!"
With a "creak", a middle-aged woman with beautiful features and an attractive figure came in, followed by a maid holding a tray.
The woman looked at Master Yuan lovingly, bowed, and asked delicately, "Second Master, do you still remember me?"
"You are..." Master Yuan searched the memory of his great-great-grandfather, and it was indeed him... the place where he had fought.
He clasped his fists and said, "So that's it... By the way, I should call you Fourth Sister Jinfeng now."
The new Fourth Master Jin Feng of Anliang Hall chuckled, threw a wink and said, "Second Master has a really good memory!"
I just have a very good memory.
"Second Master, we sisters have received so much from you, and we have no way to repay you, so we can only...ah!"
"But you have a new love...ah!"
"Now you know you're leaving... Hey!"
Fourth Master Jin Feng… Never mind. She only heard Fourth Sister Jin Feng sigh a few times and say, “Second Master, it really makes us sisters sad to leave.”
"We sisters know that we can't keep a hero like you, Second Master, so we have no choice but to prepare a gift for you..."
Fourth Sister Jin Feng turned around and lifted the red silk covering the tray, revealing a golden sachet half the size of a palm, which she handed to Yuan Yanshu with both hands.
Master Yuan took it...and immediately felt it was heavy. It turned out to be a sachet made of gold. It seemed these girls were quite grateful.
He nodded without pretense and said, "Thank you very much. I won't let you down."
Fourth Sister Jinfeng leaned halfway into his arms , blinking her big eyes and pleading, "We sisters have another unwelcome request. We would like to ask Second Master to leave us a piece of calligraphy, so that we can have something to remember by."
"Code... that writing?" Yuan Yan thought to himself. Fortunately, in addition to his rich combat experience, he also inherited his great-great-uncle's not-too-bad calligraphy. So he nodded again and said, "Okay."
"Someone, come here, the four treasures of the study!"
As soon as Fourth Sister Jinfeng gave an order, someone brought in the tools for writing calligraphy.
She also helped our Master Yuan roll up the sleeves of his long gown and pulled him to the table.
At this time, Yuan Yan was thinking about what she should plagiarize...
Copy you MB, attack you MB!
Is it necessary to copy a family like Laozi's? Is it enough to just improvise one?
He picked up a wolf hair brush, and after a moment's hesitation, he wrote on the snow-white rice paper:
"He is as romantic as Cai Songpo
Hu Shizhi
Protecting flowers is better than Chen Zhongfu
Pay faster than Master Kong
Xinyou year, Guisi month, Wuzi day
"President Yuan Yanshu of the Flower Kingdom wrote this in New York's Chinatown"
