Chapter 79: Opening Ceremony (I)
Zhangde Road, Gongjia Martial Arts Museum.
Thousands of firecrackers at the door were crackling non-stop, and Ma San was wearing a Republic of China horse coat and standing at the door, his face was indifferent.
The curators of the nineteen martial arts families in Jinmen all came, and even some famous merchants came over, but Ma San knew that they did not come because of their own face, but because of the face of the martial arts.
To be exact, it is the head of the martial arts industry next to him, Zheng Shanao, the owner of the Governor's Martial Arts Pavilion.
Everyone came because of his face.
Although Ma San also had a few friends in Jinmen, he was really insignificant among the many martial arts people.
Ma San and his junior brother forcibly opened the martial arts hall and offended the martial arts people, but they are now coming to cheer, seemingly regardless of the past suspicions, it seems that they can tolerate people in the martial arts, but the undercurrent surging inside makes him very uncomfortable.
The nineteen martial arts families of Jinmen, plus those famous teachers and disciples, and famous merchants, gathered together seventy or eighty people, much more than the palace martial arts hall, once there was a conflict, Ma San was afraid that he would immediately fall into an unpredictable place.
Just thinking about it, Zou Rong, the owner of the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Hall, walked over with a heroic posture and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, Master Ma, the time is almost up, I think the ceremony can be held, so let's arrange someone to come to the door." ”
It stands to reason that this is the Gong Family Martial Arts Hall, and it should be decided by Ma San, the director of the Gong Family Martial Arts Hall, but when Zou Rong spoke, he was facing Zheng Shanao, intentionally or unintentionally excluding Ma San, and seemed to want to seize the initiative today.
Ma San glanced back at her and said lightly: "What's the hurry, my junior brother hasn't come over yet." ”
"Oh, by the way, it turns out that Professor Feng hasn't come, I heard that the Ministry of Education is going to inspect Nankai recently, and it is said that it will upgrade private universities to national, so everyone is very busy, maybe Professor Feng may not be in time......"
Director Zou said with a smile, I have arrived. ”
Before Zou Rong's words fell, he was interrupted, and a young and handsome young man entered proudly, and saluted Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong with fists: "Our Gongjia Martial Arts Hall is open, how can I, the guest leader, not come, I have seen Director Zheng, I have seen Director Zou, and the two of you came quite early." ”
Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong were shocked, seeing Feng Zhou's face as usual, as if nothing had happened, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the shock from the depths of each other's eyes.
Lin Xiwen failed, or didn't he do it at all?
If you don't have a chance to make a move, it's just that, if you fail, doesn't that mean that the boat is sealed and the force is very strong?
But how is this possible? He is only eighteen or nineteen years old, no matter how high his kung fu is, he can withstand the sharp blow of a soldier?
However, these two people were old foxes, and they recovered instantly, and Zou Rong responded with a smile: "Professor Feng's demeanor is outstanding and admirable. ”
Zheng Shanao laughed and said, "It's time for you young descendants to take the lead." ”
Zou Rong said with a smile: "Just now Director Ma said that he was still short of the head of the sect, and now that the people have arrived, let's go in together." ”
As soon as the words fell, another one came, under the loud introduction of the master of ceremonies, it was Zhou Zuomin, the general manager of Jincheng Bank, who laughed and said: "I heard that Director Ma and Professor Feng's Gongjia Martial Arts Hall opened, and Zhou came to celebrate. ”
Ma San and Feng Zhou hurriedly greeted each other.
Hearing that the person in front of them was Mr. Zhou Zuomin, a well-known financier and banker in Jinmen, Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong were startled, and couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts were slightly shocked.
Although they are the leading figures in the martial arts, how can their status in Jinmen be compared with that of bankers?
Not to mention anything else, as soon as this Mr. Zhou appears, he will compare the merchants and celebrities invited by the martial artists.
When the time comes, they want to be anti-customer-oriented, and they will make trouble at the palace family martial arts hall, but they are afraid that they will not be supported by other industries.
You must know that the source of income for martial arts has always been warlord grants and merchant sponsorship, and the tuition fees charged for opening the museum and accepting apprentices are just a drizzle.
However, during the Republic of China, there were frequent turmoil, and the warlords wanted to expand their armaments when they had money, and the merchants wanted to buy land and money when they had money.
But the people in the martial arts hall sat in the well and watched the sky, but they thought that these were already mountains of gold and silver.
But how can the annual income of the nineteen families of Jinmen Wuxing be compared with the royalties from the publication of Feng Zhou's work "Harry Potter"?
You must know that his works sell well in China and English-speaking countries, and even other countries are hard to find, and their popularity is not under Zhang Hatshui's "The Family of Gold Powder".
The royalty income from Zhang Hatshui's book can buy a palace in Beiping, and Feng Zhou's deposit in Jincheng Bank can buy a Zhangde Road.
Therefore, for Jincheng Bank, Feng Zhou is a big customer, Jin Thigh, of course he Zhou Zuomin will hold it firmly.
Therefore, the Gongjia Martial Arts Hall opened, and Zhou Zuomin, the general manager of Jincheng Bank, came to support it in person.
As if it was a signal, Zhou Zuomin had just come in, and more than a dozen managers from banks, insurance industries, and securities institutions came over, each of them was famous in Jinmen, and they had to tremble three times when they stomped on Jinmen, and each of them was a big man that Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong looked up to.
"This, this, this ......"
Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong were completely stunned.
Not only the two of them, but also the owners of the other seventeen martial arts halls of the Nineteen Martial Arts Houses of Jinmen were also shocked.
They originally planned very well, and after the opening ceremony began, they would find an opportunity to use the advantage of the large number of people to suppress the Gong Family Martial Arts Hall, and even abolish Ma San's martial arts, so that he could not teach martial arts.
At that time, the eldest disciple Ma Sanwugong was abolished, the closed disciple Feng Zhou was injured by the soldiers, the senior brothers were both expelled from Jinmen, and the Gongjia Martial Arts Hall would be closed in a blink of an eye.
Even if Gong Baosen came from Beiping, it would be useless.
But who would have thought that the opening ceremony of the museum would be full of people with so many earth-shattering big people, who are either bankers or financiers.
In front of these people, even if they are all clever in kung fu and ruthless in their fists and feet, where do they dare to stand out?
When the financiers came, the door was quiet for a while.
Just when Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong thought that no one would come again, suddenly the master of ceremonies at the door suddenly shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency Zhang Xueming, Mayor of Jinmen Municipality and Director of the General Police Department of the Republic of China, arrive!"
The scene instantly fell silent, and they all turned their eyes to the door.
Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong looked bitter and shocked.
Miscalculated, miscalculated.
They always thought that the other party came from the northeast, and the principal Gong Baosen ran to Beiping again, and the Gong family was a toothless tiger in Jinmen, so they could join hands to rub it, but where did they think that the background of the people was so strong.
That's Zhang Xueming!
The younger brother of Zhang Hanqing, the commander of the Northeast Army, the strongman who smashed the riots in the Japanese Concession, and the parents of the people of Tianjin!
He actually deigned to attend the opening ceremony of the Gongjia Martial Arts Hall?
What a background does this palace family martial arts hall have!
Not only the nineteen curators of Wuxing, Ma San was also surprised and delighted, and said to Feng Zhou: "Senior brother, you actually know Mayor Zhang, and even I hide it." ”
Feng Zhou's face was indifferent, and he said, "I don't know him, and today is the first time we have met." ”
The two spoke, greeted each other, and Ma San arched his hand and said, "Mayor Zhang is really scary to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of the contemptible senior brothers. ”
Feng Zhou also bowed his hand slightly, and said: "Welcome to Mayor Zhang, the palace martial arts hall is shining." ”
"Congratulations to the owner of the Ma Pavilion. Zhang Xueming smiled and nodded at Ma San, and then shook hands gently.
Then he held Feng Zhou's hand tightly, and laughed: "I have heard the name of Professor Feng for a long time, I have read your "Rise of a Great Power" series seriously, I heard that the Gongjia Martial Arts Hall opened today, and my eldest brother also called over and told me to come early today to congratulate me." The eldest brother said that Mr. is as knowledgeable as the sea, and he is a great sage in the world. ”
Feng Zhou said with a smile: "Thank you for the love of the young marshal, I dare not be ashamed." ”
Only then did Ma San understand that Mayor Zhang came here because of his junior brother's reputation in the literary world.
Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong saw Zhang Xueming and the disciples of the palace family talking and laughing, that envy, jealousy and hatred, and then Zheng Shanao spontaneously stepped forward and said: "Zheng Shanao, the grass people, has seen Mayor Zhang. ”
Zou Rong also lost his square inch, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Zou Rong, a grass citizen, has seen Mayor Zhang. ”
Her tone is soft, not vulgar or charming, and her usual demeanor is all folded, and she looks like a well-behaved little woman.
Mayor Zhang said happily: "This is the Republic of China, there are no grass people, only citizens." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Zheng Shanao hurriedly changed his words: "Citizen Zheng Shanao has seen Mayor Zhang. ”
Zou Rong also followed: "Citizen Zou Rong has seen Mayor Zhang. ”
"Hmm. Zhang Xueming responded, his attitude was a little cold.
The two stood there nervously, not knowing how to continue talking.
Feng Zhou smiled slightly and introduced: "Mayor Zhang, these two are the top names of our Jinmen martial arts, this is Mr. Zheng Shanao, the curator of the Dusi Martial Arts Pavilion, and this is Ms. Zou Rong, the curator of the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Pavilion. ”
Mayor Zhang nodded, hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be two martial arts masters, it's rude." ”
After saying that, he went straight in to find a place to sit down, just waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong glanced at each other, and then looked at a group of men in civilian clothes around Zhang Xueming, and couldn't help but sigh together.
They understand that with this big Buddha here, they are afraid that they will not have a chance to do it.
Even in the future, it depends on the friendship between Feng Zhou and Mayor Zhang.
Even they will have to look at the face of the Gong Family Martial Arts Pavilion in the future.
