Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At night, the Tianjin Concession is filled with lights, and the American-Asian Association Club located next to the U.S. Consulate is even brighter. The clear saxophone accompanied by the old record player makes the men and women in the center of the dance hall lose track of time.  Singing and dancing, wine glasses clinking, ladies and beauties, and courtesans wearing heavy makeup nestled in the arms of men and smiled coquettishly. When the Manchu abdication edict spread all over the world, Western ideas and trends suddenly broke into this country that had been conservative for hundreds of years.  , countless strange remarks and costumes emerged overnight.

    The food and accommodation for this trip are still arranged by the United States. Although Britain and Germany have expressed their willingness to provide better places, there will definitely not be good results if they are inserted between these enemies. On the contrary, the United States can enjoy both sides.  Originally, Hangel suggested staying directly at the U.S. Consulate. Considering that there would be a lot of socializing upon arrival, Yang Qiu finally chose the American-Asian Association Business Club, which is located next to the consulate.

    Song Jiaoren went to Zhang Yuan to stay. Although the two parties cooperated, they still had to be cautious about some things.  The American businessman was extremely excited about Yang Qiu's choice of the American Asia Association Club. The huge southwest China market has opened its doors to the United States little by little in the hands of this young man, so he simply gave up most of the building for him and his entourage to use. Even now  This dinner was also held to welcome him.

    The guards at the door widened their eyes and checked each guest's belongings. Although they sneered at the man for being so careful, they still couldn't wait to walk in and see him. They all felt that this was a good opportunity to get in touch with Southwest.

    Yang Qiu and Han Geer, who accompanied him this time, became the center of attention.  Many American businessmen took the opportunity to surround the two men, and there were even many businessmen who came from neighboring countries such as Britain, Germany, France, and Belgium after hearing the news. Foreign businessmen in China did not have any ideas about national borders.  Even if the war in Europe is full of smoke, we can still cooperate to get the coveted gold and silver in this country.

    Yang Qiu will naturally not go to negotiate small contracts with foreign businessmen in person. Zhang Taiyan, who is accompanying him, only cares about education and people's livelihood in the southwest. Zhang Xiaozhun is still thinking about how to solve the two biggest threats in Jiangxi and Anhui.  They had no choice but to drag Murong Han and Gu Weijun to fight against the strong men.

    ¡°One is an overseas Chinese who is eager to serve the country, and the other is a new young man from the southwest who has studied in the United States for several years and has a steady and down-to-earth style. Both of them have studied law and are proficient in several languages.  He was very verbal and calculated, and soon mastered the know-how in negotiations. He fully implemented the spirit of the urgent need for small cotton spinning, small thermal power, small chemical industry, small cement, small metal processing, etc. in the southwest, and signed contracts of intent with foreign businessmen at every penny.

    This string of "small" characters surprised Hangel. Remember, this person has always been a big spender?  "I have no money." Yang Qiu made no secret of the financial pressure and clinked glasses with him with a smile: "Unless you are willing to lend me US$500 million to carry out the largest transaction in the Far East."

    "Pfft" Before Hangel could wake up from the astonishing figure of US$500 million.  The cute laughter next to him made the two grown men look at him at the same time.

    ?????? Shawl, cheongsam, wavy hair, willowy eyebrows and bright eyes, and a newspaper badge hanging on her chest.  The most amazing thing is that his hands are actually holding a camera.  Seeing the two of them, she seemed to waste no time in pressing the button quickly. After the click of the shutter, the woman raised her camera and took the initiative to reveal her identity: "Ta Kung Pao reporter Lu Bicheng."

    Zhang Taiyan was chatting with several former party leaders. When the spotlight flashed and he saw her, he hurriedly came over and introduced with a smile: "Why is Miss Lanqing here too? The Three Lus of Huainan are famous all over the world. As soon as you come  We grown men can¡¯t hold our heads high.¡±

    Hangeel could understand some Chinese, so he was very curious about the origin of this girl, so he pulled Zhang Taiyan to introduce her to him.  Only Yang Qiu¡¯s heart suddenly tightened!  Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Republic of China probably knows this strange woman who saved her father at the age of thirteen.  She scolded Cixi at the age of seventeen, became the head teacher at the age of twenty, was Yan Fu's female disciple, and was a female tycoon in the Shanghai business world.  And at this momentYuan Shikai's secretary!  So he almost subconsciously raised his vigilance and his eyes became solemn.

    This sudden change shocked Lu Bicheng.  I don¡¯t understand why this man who was smiling broadly and opening his mouth like a lion just now has become so cautious Doesn¡¯t he like reporters?  Lu Bicheng was a little puzzled. After thinking about it, she felt that this reason didn't make sense, because this man had already done enough to publicize his affairs through newspapers and nationwide broadcasts, so how could he be hostile to reporters?

    If these are not the case, then there is only one reason left This bastard actually thinks of himself as an assassin!  After Lu Bicheng thought about it, he also knew where he had gone wrong.  This might not be the case if she were to meet directly as the secretary of the Presidential Office, but she was afraid of misunderstanding and chose to take up the title of Ta Kung Pao reporter again. Although this title is also true, and she is still serving as the editor of the newspaper, but this young man who took the risk of going north  How could you not know your identity?  So I ended up misunderstanding again and again.

    Fortunately, she didn¡¯t think about anything else tonight, I just didn¡¯t want a man who could still see twice to die for no reason, so he smiled and said: ¡°Bicheng didn¡¯t expect Inspector Yang to be so funny. He just didn¡¯t understand that after the Westernization Movement, factories and machine bureaus were established in various places.  Seeking bigness and seeking more, why do you choose so many "small" ones?"

    Yang Qiu continued to remain vigilant. His reason and experience told him that he needed to be extra careful when dealing with a woman with an IQ of over 180 who didn't know the enemy or the enemy.  Smiling, he asked: "Why is Reporter Lu also concerned about industrial development?"

    "Just call me Lan Qing, the patrol officer." Lu Bicheng deliberately said his nickname, his eyes rolling in the hope that it would reduce the misunderstanding, but he didn't know that this small move, which was like a girl's shyness, aroused so many surprises around him, even Zhang Taiyan was surprised.  His jaw dropped and he kept mumbling, remembering that the Lu family didn't like men younger than him, not to mention that the fact that Yang Qiu had a woman was probably already known to the world.

    Is the third child of the Lu family going to be a concubine?  Zhang Taiyan quickly closed his mouth.  Hangel even blinked, slapped his forehead and said exaggeratedly: "Yang, it seems that a beautiful reporter wants to do an exclusive interview tonight God, why don't the girls from the New York Times come?  Tianjin."

    The American humor made Yang Qiu smile.  Only Lu Bicheng realized how stupid her action was and cut Hanger's eyes hard.  Fortunately, she had a rough life in her first half and was used to this. She didn't blush but raised her camera calmly and took the opportunity to say, "Inspector, would you like me to do an exclusive interview?"

    "Miss Lan Qing, please." Yang Qiu pointed to the sofa in the corner generously.  After the two sat down, Lei Meng and several soldiers immediately gathered around.  Not only was Lu Bicheng not dissatisfied with this kind of vigilance, but he felt that the handsome and slender man in front of him really knew how to win people's hearts and could actually train such a group of loyal soldiers.

    Yang Qiu still maintained a strict military posture.  Perhaps it was due to the bloody storms along the way, or perhaps it was due to the fact that she had held great power and had been in a high position for a long time. Sitting opposite her gave her a feeling of calmness, weight, and unshakability like a mountain. She asked the guard to pour her a glass of water.  Then she looked at him and asked, "What does Miss Lan Qing want to interview Yang?"

    Lu Bicheng is not an ordinary woman. In addition to seeing this temperament in Yuan Shikai when he first became president, this is the first time she has seen it in a young man who is only 23 years old.  Even Sun Wen and Huang Keqiang, who came to Beijing to discuss state affairs before, did not have this kind of temperament, and even the admirers Liang Qichao and Wang Jingwei did not have this kind of calmness.  Especially those clear eyes gave her a feeling that all the secrets had been seen through. A ripple appeared in her heart involuntarily, and her heartstrings like an ancient well quietly swayed.  Fortunately, she is not an ordinary person.  He quickly used his words to change the atmosphere, took out a pen and paper and asked like a reporter: "I just heard the inspector talking with the foreign businessmen and never left the small print. I think the outside world must be very curious about why you have such a strange request.  Do you think ten small factories can compete with one big factory?"

    "Industry is not achieved overnight. In fact, it is the same as Miss Lan Qing's poems becoming famous all over the world. It requires a long period of accumulation." Yang Qiu looked at Lu Bicheng quietly, and the tip of his brush reflected a face of unparalleled elegance, and this  Compared with the women of the era, this kind of ability also left a deep impression on him, and continued: "Although small factories have poor efficiency and low output, they are easier to popularize than large factories that often cost millions. China is not Europe  , we currently cannot support such a huge industry. More importantly, we lack the huge group of industrial workers accumulated in Europe and the United States over the past century. In this regard, we even lag behind Japan, which started at about the same time! And small factories can just make up for these shortcomings. Small capital  This allows more businessmen to invest and participate in the industry, and the flexible operating model allows businessmen to avoid market risks. Because of the large number. The demand for workers will prompt businessmen to use the idle labor force among the citizens who have relied on the land for generations.  After being absorbed and accumulated over a long period of time, the number of workers will gradually increase and they will become more and more skilled.¡±

    "The high costs of small factories lead to reduced profits, and businessmen will lower prices for each other and exploit workers. How can this be solved?"

    "This requires the government to come forward to plan. In the early stages of the market, laws and regulations should be proactively formulated to protect the interests of workers while helping businessmen expand the market as much as possible. If necessary, government procurement can even be used to purchase and sell products in a unified manner for protection.  . Of course these are only auxiliary measures, and the market is still the best touchstone. Just like sand, one grain at a time can be easily swept away by the waves, but if it accumulates into a wide beach, even if the waves hit  There are always those who can survive. The market and competition are like big waves. After being washed away and eliminated, what will be left behind are those unmoving pillars. Too much human interference will harm the industry and commerce itself. "

    Lu Bicheng carefully recorded every word he said, her expression so focused that she even forgot the real purpose of coming. By the time an exclusive interview about the road to saving the country through industry ended, she was even moved by the thoughtfulness and rigor in it. The people are moving forward together  ?Government support, tax cuts, interest rates, financial advances and other means were unheard of. Suddenly, there was a throbbing in my heart. It had nothing to do with feelings, but thinking that if he had been born thirty years earlier what would happen to this poor and impoverished country?  It will be different.

    "Ms. Lan Qing." Yang Qiu remained alert. When he saw her, he suddenly asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

    This sentence made Lu Bicheng's cheeks blush, and she laughed secretly at herself for being so stunned by the man. He was a full six years younger than her!  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh sadly in my heart. No matter what, he was worthy of my love. If he was killed it would be a pity. So when he put away his pen, he saw that no one was paying attention around him, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Xun  Envoy, return to Wuchang quickly."

    Yang Qiu¡¯s body trembled slightly, his eyes flashed and he pretended to smile.  Asked: "Is Miss Lan Qing reminding me as a reporter, or as the secretary of the Presidential Office? Was it Zhao Bingjun orthe President who did it?"

    Lu Bicheng looked at her in surprise, but soon returned to normal.  With his ability, he would never be ignorant of the dangers of going north.  So it's not surprising to guess that there was an assassination attempt.  To others, it seemed like they were still chatting, and their eyes even looked at each other affectionately from time to time, but no one expected that what they were talking about was the thrilling matter of life and death. Their chests rose and fell rapidly: "I know the inspector may not believe it. But this time I'm here.  I have indeed heard two big news, and I will tell Mr. Song later that you should go back as soon as possible."

    Yang Qiu didn't seem surprised at all. He looked at her thin cheek and asked, "Two messages? Miss Lan Qing seemed to have only said one."

    "There is indeed one more. But thatyou will find out when you read the newspaper in a few days."

    newspaper?  !  Yang Qiu's eyes gradually became serious. He could already guess what the news was, but this matter must not be published in the newspapers now!  So he took a deep breath and suddenly waved to Lei Meng. After whispering a few words and seeing that no one was paying attention, he picked her up and ran to the secluded corridor next to her.  Fortunately, Lu Bicheng was not an ordinary woman. He grabbed her with his big hand and kept her from making any noise. She was dragged into the study.

    After entering the house, Lu Bicheng shook her hands vigorously.  She stamped her feet angrily: "The patrolman's scratching hurts me."

    "I'm sorry." Yang Qiu didn't want to listen to the coquettish whispers. He closed the door, turned around and changed his address: "Miss Lu, do you have the real news that Yuan Shikai and Japan are going to sign a traitorous agreement?"

    These words made Lu Bicheng, who had always maintained a calm mind, almost jump up. She looked at him with wide eyes: "How do you know?!" "Is this important?" Yang Qiu spread his hands.  With a serious expression: "Miss Lu, you can't mention this matter in the newspapers now."

    "Why!" Lu Bicheng looked angrily at the man whom he had a good impression of just now, and kept pumping his chest in excitement, and said angrily: "This is a traitorous contract! Why can't it be published? Do you think this is right?"

    Seeing her getting angry, Yang Qiu made gestures and lowered his voice in fear of being shocked, "Miss Lu doesn't know something. The contract you saw was actually obtained by Mr. Yang, Song Duchu and Mr. Sun Wen. I can tell you, This is the evil intention of the Japanese, who want to take advantage of my country's civil strife to annex Manchuria and Mongolia! That's why Yang decided to go north. No matter how many people want to kill me, I will always meet the president and make it clear to him. This contract must not be signed. !¡±

    "Youthat's why you came here?" Lu Bicheng is a very intelligent woman, and she understood everything after hearing this sentence.  It turns out that he had known about the existence of this contract for a long time, and he risked being assassinated and went north just to fight for justice!

    Based on her understanding of Yuan Shikai and the advocacy of Wang Yitang and others, it was very likely that this agreement would be signed, so she wanted to come to Tianjin and spread the news in the newspapers to force Yuan Shikai not to sign.  But he did not allow himself to be published in the newspaper. He obviously wanted to wait for Yuan Shikai's decision to grasp the righteousness and restart the war!

    Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and looked at Yang Qiu angrily: "You men, don't you understand that what the people need now is peace of mind? You have to beat you to the death before you are willing to give up?"

    Yang Qiu did not answer directly, and sat down silently, looking tireder than ever before: "Miss Lu, do you really think that Yang likes to fight? The blood shed and the people who died are all my brothers and sisters. But without fighting, we can  Is there a way out? You can publish it in the newspaper and call me hypocritical and a villain, but I will never let Beiyang take charge of the country. They are rotten to the core. You know this better than me! They are no longer in their teens.  The elite division that carried the nation¡¯s hope for revenge years ago!

    There are hundreds of millions of people in the north, and there are still many people who are kept in the dark by Beiyang!  So I have no choice. If I go to war directly with the central government without any reason, the national civil war will start because of me, and everyone will follow my example and turn into a nationwide chaos in the future!  Beiyang will continue to deceive the people in the north and continue to recruit troops from among them and beat them to death!  With Japan's support, even if I don't win this battle?They will also start a fight. Once a chaotic situation occurs, has the girl calculated how many people will die before it ends?  "

    "So you want Beiyang to be the target of a thousand enemies, and you can finish it earlier if no one supports it?"

    "I have persuaded him. If he agrees, I will never start a war and continue to let him be the president. If he continues to be stubbornI! Will suggest convening an interim parliament to depose him." Yang Qiu stood up and continued  He regained his energetic look just now.

    Lu Bicheng looked at him quietly, gritting her teeth: "What if I don't agree?"

    "I have no choice! Either fight for four or five years and let Japan and foreigners get an advantage in vain, or decide in one battle! Completely involve him and Beiyang in history" Yang Qiu put on his hat and walked firmly.  opened the door: "I will send you back, but I will also temporarily protect your sisters in Tianjin!"

    Yang Qiu glanced at her one last time: "Girl, if you cooperate, you can see them again in five days." The door closed slowly, but Lu Bicheng had the idea of ??rushing out and giving that man a shot of bullets!  I came to remind him with good intentions, but my sister and sister were put under house arrest. Hehe actually ignored his beauty and killed him!  This bastard who suffered a thousand cuts!  The more she thought about it, the angrier she became and she threw the notebook to the ground.
