Chapter 58 Preparations Before Departure

At the beginning of the advent of all new things, they will be bound by relevant laws, and this kind of restraint will continue to be polarized, relaxed or more and more constrained with the stage of things.

Just like in 1933, not long after the start of sound films, in a movie released in the United States, the heroine was arrested and imprisoned on the same day because she said a sexually suggestive line, which caused heated discussions at the time.

And the development of movies to the present, it has gradually evolved into a restricted movie that can be played in theaters, and the scale is relaxed so quickly that it is staggering.

Su Jingxian's idea of starting Playboy magazine had already been born early on, and what really made him decide to put this idea into action was mainly from the international news newspapers during this time.

Since last year, the idea of the 'Beat Generation' has been mentioned more than once in international newspapers, and the term was originally used to describe the literary genre in the United States, but now it now encompasses the entire youth population of the United States today, and the words anxiety, depression and apathy seem to be missing any hope from the next generation in this country.

But Su Jingxian knows that after the Great Depression and World War II in the United States, the phenomenon of male depression is extremely common, in addition to the confusion caused by the sudden boom of urbanization, and at the same time, there are millions of soldiers who have returned to civilian life, because they have started to look for jobs, integrate into their families, and find the direction of their lives again.

Among these people, many people do not necessarily need someone to show them the way, they need a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Now Su Jingxian plans to start Playboy, an adult consumer magazine, to see the current situation in the United States, sexual culture will gradually be accepted by people, just like the original movie, the public, especially the male group, will become more and more tolerant of adult publications.

In addition to judging the future situation in the United States, there is another reason for Su Jingxian to make up his mind to start Playboy magazine, and that is the embargo on the cusp of the storm.

Although it has not yet been implemented, the news of the embargo has already drifted to Hong Kong, and the business community in Hong Kong is now in fear that the embargo will affect this free port.

Therefore, Su Jingxian is entering the market now, intending to make a fortune from the cultural level of the United States, which may not be a huge profit, but it is the safest and safest.

Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong, in the separate office of Professor Jane.

"It's a pity that Caroline won't go back to Hong Kong until after Easter, otherwise she can accompany you to the United States." Jian Lianshi took two cups and motioned to Su Jingxian, who was sitting in the chair, "Tea or coffee?" ”

Caroline is talking about her half-breed sister Liang Jiayin, who has not seen her for a long time since she returned to the UK with her family to visit her sick grandmother in front of the law firm last time she said goodbye.

"I didn't rest well last night, give me a cup of tea, thank you." Su Jingxian yawned, sat on the chair and watched Jian Lianshi skillfully make tea, and said with a smile, "Caroline accompanied me to the United States?" Even if she has time, I don't want to bring a drag oil bottle on the road, Professor Jane, you should help me think of another way. ”

Su Jingxian came to Jian Lianshi this time to ask him for help and introduce a friend in the United States to him.

Most of the Chinese in Hong Kong now can't talk to the British people they often see on the streets, let alone have an American friend who is far away across the ocean, so Su Jingxian knows that even if he finds Yao Mu, the other party can't help him, so he thought of this ghost professor from the Law Department.

"Then you are wrong, there is no American friend I can help you find better to accompany you than Caroline." Jian Lianshi made two cups of tea, put them in front of Su Jingxian and himself in turn, and then sat opposite Su Jingxian and smiled and spoke.

Although he is British, the tea he brews is a traditional Chinese tea, unlike other Britons who add condiments such as rock sugar and milk.

"I know, you want to say that her mother is a barrister and can solve a lot of trouble!" Su Jingxian looked at Jian Lianshi, shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully, "But just like you said, now that she is still in the UK and has not returned, it is impossible for her to go with her." ”

Jian Lianshi smiled noncommittally, closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, and then carefully said: "If you want to go to the United States to run a magazine, there is no problem with your identity, if it is in the first two years, I will notify my friends in the United States, it is very simple to help you." But the situation in the United States is not very good now, a damn political scoundrel and opportunist has put everyone in danger in the United States, and even if I open my mouth, no one may be willing to come forward to help you, so you have to be mentally prepared in advance in this regard. ”

Su Jingxian only briefly mentioned the matter of running the magazine to Jian Lianshi, and did not mention the adult content in it. And Jian Lianshi said this now, it was not an excuse, Su Jingxian nodded after hearing it, and he was not surprised.

As Jane said, a political scoundrel and opportunist has made McCarthyism prevail in the United States, and it is normal for Jane's friends to be reluctant to help, even if they are concerned about their own security.

"In short, I have to ask the professor to bother you more about this matter, and I will send you some beautiful tea next time." Su Jingxian raised his head and smiled at Jian Lianshi, "If you can, please tell your American friends that as long as someone is willing to help me lead the way, after the magazine matters, China Hong Kong Daily is willing to pay a reward of 10,000 US dollars." ”

Su Jingxian knows very well that in this era, if a Chinese wants to start a journal in the United States, the first step is to find an American local to lead the way, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch even if he goes to the United States, so he will directly offer a high remuneration of 10,000 US dollars.

Jian Lianshi looked at Su Jingxian, nodded and smiled: "Ten thousand dollars? Seeing that your newspaper has indeed made a lot of money, if it weren't for the school and a job, even I would have wanted to run with you personally. ”

Su Jingxian took a sip of the teacup, looked at Jian Lianshi and smiled: "Professor Jian, why don't you come to our China Hong Kong Daily to do an interview!" Write your heroic deeds in the newspaper and publish an autobiography, I believe that there will be a lot of people who will worship you, and you will easily lose hundreds of thousands of dollars when the time comes! ”

Jian Lianshi laughed heartily when he heard this, his gray beard trembled at his lips, and waved his hand to Su Jingxian again and again: "Forget it, I still leave it to you young people to do such a showy thing as an interview, I still have a bunch of lesson plans to prepare, where is there still extra time for autobiography." ”

Su Jingxian smiled, but he was still very sure of the idea just now, if Jian Lianshi's legendary deeds were published, the heated discussion would not be inferior to the charity competition last time.

The two talked again in the office, and finally Su Jingxian took the lead in proposing to leave.

"Go ahead, Ah Xian." Sending Su Jingxian to the door, Jian Lianshi smiled at him, "I will call my friends in the United States in the evening and try to help you deal with things over there." ”

Su Jingxian glanced at the wired carrier phone on Jian Lianshi's desk and nodded in thanks.
