During this time, the relationship between the Chinese and the Japanese was very stiff, and when Lin Zixuan came to Hongkou, he found that most of the surroundings were guarded eyes, and the Japanese patrol stopped his car and conducted an interrogation.

Lin Zixuan replied calmly, he just came to take a turn.

He can be regarded as a celebrity on the beach, even if the Japanese patrol does not know him, but they know Lin Zixuan's identity by looking at the name on the certificate.

Although it was not clear what Lin Zixuan's intentions were, at this special moment, the Japanese patrol did not dare to arrest Lin Zixuan.

Otherwise, once the matter gets bigger, it will be difficult to end.

In the eyes of the patrol, the Chinese may have hoped so, and they let Lin Zixuan in, but followed the car to watch.

The place Lin Zixuan is going to is Wei Shengli next to the Yuqingfang Lane on North Sichuan Road, where the Neishan Bookstore is.

He did not expect that this bookstore hidden in a small alley was quite famous, and many Chinese with a background of studying in Japan knew it, because this is a place where there are very few original Japanese books sold in Shanghai.

Here's a very interesting phenomenon.

Chinese students studying in Japan like to read original Japanese books when they return to their home countries, as if they can't prove that they have studied in Japan.

Lin Zixuan understands this psychology very well.

Because he also has a lot of original English books in his study, although he never reads them, they are always a symbol, especially when a friend who is studying in the United States visits, he will open it and display it.

Although Lin Zixuan felt awkward, this was a common phenomenon in this era.

When it comes to the gathering of international students studying in the West, it is even more exaggerated, some people use French and some use German in the exchange, and those who only know English are embarrassed to speak, and at least three foreign languages must be known to be considered to have studied in the West.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Zixuan mentioned Neishan Bookstore, he quickly got the address.

He is no stranger to North Sichuan Road, Ruan Lingyu used to go to Chongde Girls' School on this road, he found Neishan Bookstore, the store is not large, the conditions are relatively simple, and it seems that it has not yet developed.

Lin Zixuan felt that he should have come early.

Uchiyama Shogun is still in the development period, and Uchiyama Maruzo will probably not be able to introduce Chinese books to Japan until a few years later.

This is where traversers often get confused.

What Lin Zixuan thinks in his heart is that it will happen in the future, not now, there is a time lag in between, and if this time difference is not handled well, it is likely to make a wrong decision.

It's like the contradiction with Song Ziwen that time.

He sees things very big, because Song Ziwen is very powerful in the future, but at this point in time, Song Ziwen is just a bank worker, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

This time too, he thought of Uchiyama Maru as the Uchiyama Maru a few years later.

Forget it, if it comes, it will be safe.

Lin Zixuan walked around the small bookstore, most of which were Japanese books and religious books, and he couldn't read them.

After a while, a middle-aged Japanese man who was not tall walked out from behind, he spoke in Japanese first, saw Lin Zixuan with a puzzled expression, and greeted Lin Zixuan in Chinese with a Japanese accent.

Lin Zixuan responded and asked if there were any literary books.

Uchiyama Maruzo took out a book and introduced it, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, since you don't know Japanese, ask what these are doing.

Uchiyama Maruzo was born in 1885 and dropped out of elementary school to work without graduating from elementary school.

Since the age of 12, he has been an apprentice in a store in Osaka and Kyoto.

In 1913, he moved from Japan to Shanghai, China, to work as a pharmaceutical salesman, and later opened the "Uchiyama Shoten" in his wife's name.

In the beginning, Uchiyama Maruzo opened this bookstore with the attitude of testing the waters.

Since he was a Christian, he started selling Christian books and gradually expanded to Japanese original books, because there was no competition from other bookstores of the same type in Shanghai, and the business was quite good.

As a businessman, he was very dedicated to introducing books to Lin Zixuan, after all, he knew that Lin Zixuan was a rich man by looking at his clothes.

Lin Zixuan asked about the situation of this writer called Akutagawa Ryutsuji, since Uchiyama Maruzo runs a bookstore, he knows a little about the situation of domestic writers in Japan, so he said a few words.

The guest was not satisfied, and asked about other Japanese writers, some of whom Uchiyama Maruzo had never heard of.

Yasuki Kawabata, a new writer, he had heard of it, but he really didn't know who Yukifu Mishima was.

In fact, Yukio Mishima will not be born until 1925, and Lin Zixuan does not know much about the Japanese writers of this era, so he remembers it in general.

Through the introduction of Uchiyama Maruzo, Lin Zixuan has a general understanding of the situation of the Japanese literary scene.

It's a pity that Akutagawa Ryukai's "In the Bamboo Forest" has already been published, this novel is very famous in Japan, and it was later made into a movie called "Rashomon".

The good news is that Kawabata has not yet become famous.

Lin Zixuan studied "The Dancing Girl of Izu" when he was in school, and also read "Snow Country", and these two novels can be written first.

Of course, under a pseudonym, he didn't want to be known that he had written Japanese novels.

He can also outline the TV dramas of later generations in Japan and organize a group of writers who are proficient in Japanese to write them.

This type of novel that depicts a story about a native Japanese story should be a big success.

Lin Zixuan remembers the sensation caused by the TV series "Blood Suspicion" when it was broadcast in China in later generations, and he now returns this sensation to Japan.

He also learned that Uchiyama Maruzo's Japanese books were purchased from a bookstore in Tokyo called Tokyodo.

Opened in 1890, Tokyo Shoten entered the publishing business in 1891, and founded Magazine World in 1898, establishing a place in the Japanese publishing industry.

Lin Zixuan plans to vote "The Dancing Girl of Izu" and "Snow Country" to this publishing house to test the waters.

If the conditions are good, then continue to cooperate, he has a more ambitious plan, that is, the comic industry.

In this world, except for Americans, there are only Japanese people who have a soft spot for comics, Lin Zixuan doesn't read comics much, but he has watched cartoons adapted from comics.

For example, "Robot Cat" and "Saint Seiya".

Naturally, he couldn't shoot cartoons, but he could ask a cartoonist to restore the cartoons he had watched to manga and sell them to Japan.

This is called the recycling of the cultural industry.

In view of the fact that there are too many sci-fi elements in "Robot Cat", and "Saint Seiya" is too violent to promote, Lin Zixuan decided to use the cartoon "Smart Rest" as an experiment.

After nearly an hour, Uchiyama Maruzo finally sent off the strange guest, and to his dismay, the man asked for a long time, but did not buy a single book.

As soon as Lin Zixuan left, the Japanese patrol walked into the Uchiyama Bookstore and interrogated the situation.

At this time, Uchiyama Maruzo learned that the strange Chinese was called Lin Zixuan, a fiction writer.
