On August 9, Xu Shichang reappointed Jin Yunpeng as prime minister.

On August 11, the First Guangdong-Guizhou War broke out.

The temperature in Shanghai is 39 degrees Celsius, and the doors and windows of No. 3 in Lane 181 are closed in the morning. The ice cubes in the lead iron bucket next to the long table in the living room had melted, and the lamp next to the old-fashioned telephone on the long table emitted a soft light on the manuscripts scattered on the table, and on the floor not far from the long table lay Hu Wenkai sleeping soundly in large characters. He wrote an article all night last night, and he didn't take a shower and fell asleep wearing only a big pair of pants.

Every day, newspapers and periodicals publish the comments of some boring literati, narrow views and worthless embellishments, and Hu Wenkai, a good young man with good literary skills, couldn't help but jump out and write a few articles on current affairs analyzing the current situation, and objectively appraised the Beiyang government. aroused heated discussions, and southern literati refuted his articles at length. He just thought it was funny and didn't refute it-for-tat.

Soon after, he wrote an article entitled "The Difference between the North and the South in a Great Harmony China", starting with the difference in climate between the north and the south, the difference in living habits, and finally the difference in political ideas. Writing about the northerners is generous and heroic, but sometimes it will make you feel fake, and the southerners are shrewd and capable and reasonable, but sometimes it will make you feel very calculating. Northerners like to use a large pot to eat, one plate of vegetables is enough for a family to eat for three days, while southerners eat more than ten kinds of dishes, one of which is 40 peanuts. Northerners always think, so-and-so is not as good as me, southerners always think, I want to surpass so-and-so! It seems that the northerners are more comfortable and happy, while the southerners are struggling. Northerners always see the optimistic side of things, and when they see a duck, they will say that they can become swans in the future! And southerners always think from the worst when they see problems, and when they see a peacock, they will say, it's better to be a chicken than a chicken! After talking about the fact that politicians in the north and the south actually have the same idea and want to make China stronger, but the ideas exported are antagonistic because of the habitual differences between the north and the south, and finally advise the people of the north and the south to eliminate the estrangement through circulation.

The article was like a torch thrown into a pan of oil, and it suddenly caused a confrontation between the north and the south, but the perpetrator ignored it, and there was no explanation for this, and the pen name he used was called the Civil War*. I wrote a few articles about the survival rules of outsiders in Shanghai, which are very popular, and I wrote about the experience of a young man named Shui Sheng Wuxi who first came to Shanghai, how he slowly changed from pulling a rickshaw to setting up a stall, and later opened a grocery store and married the neighbor's daughter. The article is very delicately written, and each character is written in five chapters, and he successively wrote about the dancing girl Lili, the landlord's son Guiguo, and the local youth Guoxiang in Shanghai.

At No. 3, Lane 181, he had nothing to worry about, went to the company in the morning to deal with daily affairs, and read newspapers and wrote articles at home in the afternoon. Every day at 9 a.m., the ice truck will bring large pieces of ice and place them in lead iron drums, soak in the cold water of the bathtub in the afternoon, read the newspaper and drink tea, the living room is ticking with the ceiling fan on and ticking leisurely, and the cool and quiet room is suitable for the middle of summer. The weather is hot, and there are very few guests who visit at night, only James and Ivanov come to eat, the original worldview of these two people has been destroyed, the concept of the country has been very indifferent, and the mind is full of Hu Wenkai's thoughts, and they began to follow Hu Wenkai with the mentality of trying it out, and there is no way to convince himself not to admire Hu Wenkai after two months.

Ivanov is the most down-and-out when he relies on Hu Wenkai to tide over the difficulties, in this world to say that the closest person in addition to his parents is Hu Wenkai, taught him how to negotiate, how to manage, how to have a sense of the overall situation, give him salary and shares, the key to give him status, although people are much younger than him, Ivanov surrendered to Hu Wenkai from the heart, as long as it is Hu Wenkai's idea, he never scrutinizes and doubts, just executes.

James, a traditional typical Englishman, he admires Hu Wenkai's business acumen, people, company management has clear responsibilities, he often analyzes Hu Wenkai's business behavior, Hu Wenkai is simply a monster in the shopping mall, the vision is extremely accurate, two months, the company's assets have increased several times, many methods are empty gloves, white wolf, a young man under twenty years old, no one will believe it, his origin is particularly strange, as if out of thin air, he never said his parents, family and relatives and friends, but he feels as comfortable as living in Shanghai for decades. Every time Hu Wenkai published an article under the pseudonym of Waterbird, the two would read it carefully, and now they no longer call Hu Wenkai the boss, but instead call Mr. Waterbird in the newspaper.

Last night, about the young people's concept of love, Hu Wenkai wrote: The right to love is attached to your body with the birth of life, no one has the right to deprive it, love needs free space to release, if a person can't even make his own decisions about love, then his (her) life is a flawed life.

What is true love? It has been said, "Love is a feeling, a feeling that a person has never experienced." Love is like an electric shock! Someone else said, "Love is a continuation*, which anesthetizes and does not realize it." ”

It is also said, "Love is fire, it is ice, it is heaven and it is hell, it is joy, it is sorrow, it is a state of remorse!" ”

It is also said, "Love is a serious mental illness." Someone even said, "Love is a state of wanting to be in the wrong and wrong." Strictly speaking, the above definition cannot be called love at all, it is only lust,*, it is infatuation.

It's a pity that most people today only have lust, no wonder it disappears so quickly, and no wonder they can't enjoy a truly happy, happy, and happy married life. The wine of love is sweet and bitter, two people drink it is nectar, three people drink it is sour vinegar, and if you drink it casually, you will be poisoned. Model love is also constrained by morality, love needs moral guidance, morality helps people form a correct view of mate selection, helps people to properly express and receive love, and helps to develop love relationships under the criteria of reason.

The Bible says, "Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." "Leaving our parents is not the same as not honoring our parents, because God has clearly commanded us to honor them." "Leaving one's parents" means that a person has become psychologically, biologically, financially and emotionally independent and mature, and no longer needs to rely on his or her parents. Marriage of an immature person will not only bring pain to himself, but also bring a great burden to society after giving birth to children. If we are already able to deal with ourselves independently, we can also know how to find solutions when we encounter difficulties, without relying on our parents or family members (but we know to seek the advice of mature elders and then make our own decisions). If you have a different opinion or conflict, you can also sit down with two people to find a solution, you don't have to rely on your parents financially, you are subject to your parents, and you have enough ability to raise the next generation, etc., are the minimum conditions for a happy marriage...

Hu Wenkai talks about the past and the presentFrom Liang Zhu in ancient China to Romeo and Juliet, Napoleon and Josephine in the West, it took three days to complete the manuscript of 8,000 words. There is no writing prison in Shanghai, and the idea is very avant-garde, and Hu Wenkai is very open-minded.

The two maids opened the door softly, and the smell of smoke filled the room. Hu Wenkai was lying on the floor, his face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the sweat stains on the floor formed a human figure. Mother Liu opened the window, dragged a towel blanket from the sofa and covered him, washed the teacup, made a new cup of tea and put it on the table. Wang's mother began to clean the room, wash clothes, and scrub the windows, and Liu's mother began to wash vegetables and make lunch after setting up the bean juice fritters she bought in the restaurant.

At eight o'clock, Hu Wenkai woke up, stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, went to the bathroom, changed into a set of silk short-sleeved shorts after washing, and was barefoot, drinking bean juice and eating fritters. Tell Liu's mother to let the ice cube be sent more, and the upstairs will also need it at night. At nine o'clock, he rode his bicycle in the shade of the plane trees as much as possible, and the asphalt of the sun was rolling in the heat, and after a while, his clothes were sticking to his body. Cross a few streets to the downstairs of the company, put the bicycle in the stairwell, tidy up the clothes and go upstairs.

Since the company implements the company to hand over the housing within three months, the company pays 60% of the deposit, and pays 30% of the deposit for half a year, many people come to the company to sell housing, most of them are Europeans and Americans who are ready to return to China to sell the property in advance, they can take some cash first, and more are to buy a house and pay the deposit are 80%.

He walked straight up to the third floor and pushed open the innermost office with no signage. Behind a large desk with a row of dark bookcases, a mahogany Taishi chair from a demolished old house was used as his boss chair. In front of the desk are two jujube wood chairs. Flipping through the weekly financial report on the table, after reading it for a while, let Wang Xihai find Schroder, it is not a good thing that the amount of cash stored during this period is too large, the company is absorbing the money of property buyers in disguise, and it is necessary to control the rhythm to prevent it from getting out of control.

Schroder came over and said that because the company was preparing to acquire a department store, it had set aside a lot of funds, and according to the total amount of the company's assets, this was far from being out of control. But the money had to be spent, and after figuring out the funds needed for the peak of the on-time delivery and the remaining funds, Ivanov was called. After the three of them found the 17 acres of land on the map drawn by Hu Wenkai by hand, they pointed to the surrounding plots and asked Ivanov to find out who they belonged to, how much money could be purchased, and prepared to use the extra money to continue to expand the plot.

"After the land is expanded to 25 to 30 acres, whether the value of this land can appreciate as a whole is something we have to consider." Hu Wenkai put down the pencil in his hand.

"Boss, it is estimated that the acquisition of land near here is not the starting price, at least 40% higher than our purchase price."

"However, after the expansion of the plot, the overall price will increase by at least 5%."

"Let Ivanov find out first, and if it is advantageous, he will buy it immediately, and don't hesitate, if it doesn't work, this fund will buy the real estate of Haige Gelu and strive to connect with our 2.3 acres." Hu Wenkai set a downward adjustment.
