Chapter 45: Conservatives
Chapter subtitle: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy the bottom
I don't know if it's because of his down-to-earth, hard-working, and serious nature, or because he was frightened by the stock market crash at the end of next year, Yan Mou, the second eldest member of the Yuan family, has been a conservative all his life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was only willing to invest in the real economy in his life, that is, industry and real estate, so he was able to support the life of a large family in the magic capital with the little ancestral property he left, and even later there were signs of a comeback.
This kind of good and healthy investment philosophy has been implemented by Hongtu Gong (his word) throughout. As the so-called emperor lives up to his hard work, Yuan Yanmou, who has been cautious all his life, finally waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity thirty years later. If you don't come to the bottom of this, you will simply be sorry for the ancestors of the Yuan family! So he spent all his savings to buy two factories and several houses at low prices, and went from being a propertied class to a big capitalist......
Forget it, no matter what, his second brother is always more reliable than his father.
The master ball flashed for a while before saying, "Yes." But...... Can only be advised. ”
With this sentence, Yuan Yanqian picked up the golden pen and wrote two letters carefully.
The first one, of course, was a reply to his father. First of all, he greatly complimented Mr. Yuan's investment talent in the letter; The second is to reach out and ask for money, anyway, the money is lost in the stock market and can't even be heard, so it is better to send it to himself so that he can live a good life in New York, so he asked for $1,600 in tuition.
Then he wrote that since his family is preparing to develop in Shanghai in the future, he will return to China next year, and a set of shikumen is too small, so it is better to consider buying a big house.
At the end, I wrote those ten words as a reminder.
At that time, it was common for the squires of the old Yuan family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to have real estate in Shanghai, which was not simply for investment, but for the sake of taking refuge in Shanghai and having a good place to settle down.
The second letter was addressed to his brother. In this letter, Yuan Yan sincerely wrote that he, the eldest brother, had not been at home for many years for his studies, and he really did not fulfill his responsibilities as the eldest son. In order to express his shame and gratitude, then in the future, if the second elder has something unbearable, he will take less inheritance.
Second, you are also married and have children, and you have younger brothers and sisters at home, and you can't nest in the countryside, so you naturally have to study in Shanghai, how can this big family live in a house in Shanghai? Besides, isn't there hair growing at home, why don't you and your mother persuade your father to buy a big house, and when his old man dies in the future, the big set will belong to you. In order to show his sincerity, he offered to propose that the house could be hung in his brother's name, and he had nothing to say, as evidenced by this letter.
As a resident of the Great Demon Capital who has personally experienced the demolition, Yuan Hongjian has seen many brothers and sisters and even parents and children turn against each other in court for the house and compensation, and it is better to write this kind of thing clearly. With the master ball system, Yuan Yanqian, who was confident to come out of the pavilion to become a master, had no choice but to take precautions.
After all, a small citizen is a small citizen, and he thinks that he will have his own house in Shanghai in the future, and he will not have to worry about eating and drinking when he is a landlord.
After the two letters were written, the exhausted Yuan Yanqian threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.
Yuan Yanqian has started to go back to NYU in the past few days. No way, no one in the years without the Internet believed that you could write a paper behind closed doors. If nothing else, where did those indexes come from, could it be that the author remembers the detailed sources of all the references?
So he would show his face in the classes of Professors Adams and Chandler when he had nothing to do, and after class, he would go to their offices to smoke a cigarette, chat, pick a few questions they were good at, and humbly ask for advice, or else go to the NYU library and pretend to be diligent. Anyway, the teachers and classmates around him finally confirmed that this yellow man was really writing papers.
In addition to this new habit, he now has another habit, taking a moment to take a good look at the newsstands and bookstores as he passes by.
Our Master Yuan now has a book on anarchism, a "famous" novel in Armenian, a poem "On the Moon", a novel about food, and a book about "insects" called "The Territory of Jerusalem".
That anarchist book would never have been released in the foreseeable future, not even for nothing, like Fifty Shades of Grey. The Armenian novel had to be talked about again. Not to mention "On the Moon". Only the last two can be contributed.
However, Yuan Yanqian found an embarrassing thing, that is, it was really not easy to be a fledgling writer in 1920, and the biggest obstacle for him was the lack of photocopiers and printers!
For modern physical fiction writers, even if they don't have an e-mail address, they can print dozens of copies casually, hand them over to the courier, and then wait for news at home. However, he only had one original manuscript, and he had exchanged it for B coins from the Master Ball. Although it was not very expensive, these two novels still cost him the balance.
So our Master Yuan couldn't submit more than one manuscript, but he was not familiar with the American publishing industry, so in the end, he, a lazy man, came up with a lazy way to submit the revised food-themed women's novel to New York University Press through the introduction of Professor Irving Adams.
As a scholar, whether it was 1920 or 2017, he prefers to contact the academic circle, and the people in it are more "simple" even if they are bad. In addition, he himself is a student at New York University, and he is introduced by professors on campus, so it is not easy to make a moth.
It's not that Yuan Yanqian thinks of people in a bad way, but that the discrimination of white people against people of color in 1920 was too blatant. In case someone finds out that he is Chinese, he uses a little crooked brain, and colludes with other authors to insist that this novel is plagiarism...... Even if he really doesn't care very much, because he really didn't write it, but isn't it that he can't eat mutton and causes a fuss?
It's just that the book "The Territory of Jerusalem", he visited the bookstore and newsstand for several days, and still didn't know where to post. Is it a waste to eat so many eggs and spend 100B coins on a novel?
"Hey, do you want to buy it?"
Yuan Yan, who was standing in front of the newsstand, glanced at the newsstand owner, and secretly said in her heart that she really looked down on people with dog eyes, and when she saw a yellow person like me, she wouldn't even say "sir", no wonder she would sell this kind of newspaper.
Without saying a word, he took a coin from his pocket and threw it to the newsstand owner, from which he took a street tabloid with poor paper, not even lead but mimeographed.
Not only is the quality of this newspaper questionable, but the articles on it are all about racism and conservatism, which is not racism and conservatism in general, but New England racism and Puritan conservatism, which means that the publisher and the target audience of this newspaper are all descendants of the Mayflower...... Or it would be more accurate to call it a "living fossil of a Mayflower".
In fact, the name of the newspaper is The-Conservatives.
