"Is it a foot-pedal or an electric sewing machine?" Situ Nan asked as he gestured. Unexpectedly, Dasheng Group gave himself another surprise.

"Both. The pedal sewing machine imitates the winner, and the electric sewing machine is a product designed and invented by Dasheng himself, but the price is much more expensive. Less than 100 of the sewing machines purchased by Yunshang Company are electric sewing machines, which are very efficient, but they are too expensive. ”

Zhang Youyi complained. In my heart, I am very satisfied with the development of Yunshang Garment Company, not only in the upstream with the support of giants such as Dasheng Company, but also in the downstream has also received a large number of military uniform orders from the military, as well as hundreds of thousands of school uniform orders obtained through the Guò Meihua Foundation, and the Meihua Company orders tooling from Yunshang Company from time to time.

In less than five years, Yunshang Garment Company has become a large company employing more than 50,000 workers (mostly female workers), and has established garment factories in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and New Tangshan.

Zhang Youyi said that since the joint venture light bulb factory with the Xu family was put into operation, it has not had the opportunity to take a look, which is reasonable.

"At the current pace of development, the assets of the women's bank will exceed 100 million yuan in less than five years, because tens of thousands of female workers are your customers, and the development of the women's bank is more and more tied to Yunshang Company."

Situ Nan analyzed, while he was happy about Zhang Youyi's achievements, he also asked her with some worry whether it would affect her family and children.

"There is no way to do it, the child's grandparents can help me take care of the child, and I have to go to Xu's house every day or two to pick up the child."

Zhang Youyi sighed and said, because of the child, her relationship with the Xu family has been severed. Fortunately, my ex-husband doesn't live in Xu's house. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing when you meet. It's hard to work. At least I can forget the pain of my feelings.

When Situ Nan was worried about her safety, she smiled and told Situ Nan that if she hadn't taken the Xu family's car today, she would have been in a hurry, and she would have been in a hurry to go out, and she would have bodyguards with her. Situ Nan laughed.

Time passed quickly, the car arrived in the Jiangwan area, and the traffic gradually became lively, to be precise. Situ Nan saw a large construction site.

I don't know if it's Situ Nan's reason, blue, jeans, overalls, uniforms, these elements have increasingly become the mainstream of fashion in China and South China in the twenties and thirties.

A few workers wearing blue and white denim overalls walking by in front of the street from the construction site were talking and laughing about something, maybe the boss paid today, maybe the construction site food was good, or maybe they were discussing the style of a certain tofu Shih Tzu.

There was confidence in their smiles, not like the dusty clothes they wore when they first entered the city from the country. Frightened by the watermill in the big city, Vino's restrained demeanor.

Urban construction, industrial development. After providing a large number of employment opportunities, having a stable job, and gradually adapting to survive in the city, these people have provided fresh blood for the development of the city.

"I am happy to see more and more people in Shanghai wearing blue overalls and denim suits." When the car passed by the door of the Sincere Department Store, he saw a group of young men in blue and white overalls with bags in their hands, and Situ Nan smiled.

Why? Is it because of your denim penchant? ”

Zhang Youyi looked at Situ Nan suspiciously, and asked with a smile. You're a rich man, and you like denim workwear yourself, but mixing it with the workers on the street seems to be a bit cheap, right?

Zhang Youyi doesn't quite understand this kind of aesthetic attitude. Of course, it does not prevent Yunshang Garment Company from leading and manufacturing this trend, and a considerable part of those blue and white denim tooling is produced by Yunshang Garment Company.

Zhang Youyi looked outside, there were several cars parked in front of the Sincere Department Store, and people were coming in and out, although it was a newly opened branch in the new city center, and the city center had not yet been built, but the business was very good.

Yunshang Garment Company has always cooperated with several national department stores such as Sincere Department Store, and one-third of the high-end clothing produced by Yunshang Garment Company is sold through Guò Department Store.

"It's not really, it's because I see that the number of workers is swelling, and the proportion of the working class in the urban population is rising, which means that the city is industrializing, and it also means that the national industry is developing. More labor, more capital and technology, and a bigger market are not what capitalists like you and me want to see? ”

Situ Nan explained with a smile.

Needless to say, the reason is too clear, as soon as Situ Nan said it, Zhang Youyi immediately understood, but she didn't expect Situ Nan's vision to observe society so uniquely, and people wearing denim overalls on the streets came to observe social development.

Zhang Youyi had to admire his vision not only to see far, but also to see carefully. She suddenly realized that the Yunshang costume had unconsciously completely penetrated into the big and small corners of the city.

His eyes returned to Situ Nan, and he saw Situ Nan silently looking out the window at the new Shanghai city and was distracted, even if a man like him didn't speak and sat quietly, he also had a unique charm, as if his mind was like mountains and seas, and like a gentle wind and drizzle, you can't guess, but he was attracted by him.

There is such a wonderful man in the world, although he does not often dance with pen and ink, and his mouth is full of chapters, but it does not mean that he will not, but because he is calm and introverted and broad-minded, and his realm is beyond ordinary people.

After the completion of several main roads, the general outline of the new Shanghai centered on Jiangwan has taken shape.

I heard that Mayor Yang ran to the construction site in three or two days, and kept urging the engineering company to speed up the progress. I heard that the city government will move to Jiangwan in the spring of next year to be neighbors with foreigners, and he is anxious to live in a new house. Infected by his enthusiasm, now the houses in Jiangwan are rising every day, and many people are going there to buy houses and do business. ”

Zhang Youyi pointed to the surrounding construction sites, and introduced to Situ Nan while introducing that this was a certain government building, a certain square, a certain company, a certain shopping mall, and a certain mansion of a wealthy businessman.

From time to time, there was a hint of ridicule in her tone about the new mayor, indicating that she had risen to a very high position as a businesswoman.

Situ Nan nodded from time to time, thinking that Yang Yongtai really had a bit of hard work!

To the south of Jiangwan is the so-called Hongkou Concession. After the Hongkou Concession is the Anglo-American Public Concession. In other words, the officials of Shanghai will work next to the foreigners.

Do they need to take calcium supplements?

Past and present lives. The two generations of human beings, experience tells Situ Nan, the bones of the bureaucracy should not be too high, they will compromise with foreigners, and if their interests are damaged, they will be good at making up for it from the "lamb" of their own country.

More and more I feel that it is better to strengthen the Wusongkou fortress and the armament of Shanghai, speed up the construction of the Chongming Island submarine base, and deploy a number of torpedo planes and bombers in Shanghai.

Situ Nan made up his mind. I want to report my opinion to Wang Geng, who is stationed in Shanghai. Thinking of Wang Geng, Situ Nan's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

His eyes swept over Zhang Youyi beside him, Situ Nan thought: In history, Wang Geng fell off the chain and went to prison, was it unlucky, or because of personality problems, he was bullied by others, in short, Wang Geng is an honest man, good in all aspects, and works hard. It is especially rare to be diligent and self-disciplined. Situ Nan admires it very much, Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others also appreciate it very much, everyone values him, he just lacks a ruthlessness.

The ruthlessness of men!

Similar encounters and bloody plots made Situ Nan think of other people from Wang Geng's fate, especially Zhang Lingfu, who had a relationship not long ago.

If it were his own, Situ Nan thought about it, and it seemed that he couldn't quite draw his gun and shoot angrily!

It's a bit of a contradiction!

I hope that the Greater Shanghai Project will not fall short and be destroyed in the war as the original history, well, it will not be.

Seeing that Situ Nan didn't speak, Zhang Youyi didn't know what she was thinking, her face sank, and she didn't bother him anymore, she quietly leaned on her seat to close her mind, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

Don't look at the conversation with Situ Nan just now like a chat between friends, in fact, Zhang Youyi is reporting to the boss, and the mental burden is not small.

thought that Situ Nan was tired, but he didn't know that suddenly wandering, divergent thinking, and worrying about the sky were the characteristics of people like Situ Nan.

Cross Jiangwan into the concession and finally stop at the entrance of Kadoorie Garden.

"Today is Ah Huan's birthday, we have to rush back to eat with him, so we won't go in to disturb your house, and I will come to thank Mr. Situ another day." ”

Zhang Youyi declined Situ Nan's invitation, got out of the car, and walked to another car, where the driver drove her and the old man of the Xu family to continue driving in the direction of the Xu family.

'It's-"

Master Xu looked at the palace-like Kadoorie Garden and lost his mind slightly, he knew that the owner of this famous building in Shanghai was mysterious and prominent, and a rich man like him would not have the opportunity to go in and see it!

No wonder the shelves are so big!

He muttered inwardly.

waited for Zhang Youyi to get in the car before she came back to her senses, looked at Zhang Youyi carefully, and saw that her clothes were neat, her temples were not messy, her face was not unusual, and she was entangled for an afternoon before putting it down.

Zhang Youyi looked back at Kadoorie Garden, Situ Nan's car drove inside, and a middle-aged maid and a young girl in the house heard the sound of the car and hurriedly came out to greet him.

In a short afternoon, she has experienced a lot, and the important changes in her career in the future may come from today's unexpected afternoon "crossing in the same car".

"She's the little star, isn't she?" Zhang Youyi thought to herself, turned her head to talk to the old man of the Xu family, and finally had the opportunity to shift her attention to her former father-in-law and partner.

'This is Kadoorie Garden?' Kadoorie seems to be a foreigner, right? Master Xu asked curiously.

This ex-daughter-in-law's energy is too great. Having the heart to ask Zhang Youyi about her mysterious friend, communication is a necessary skill for a businessman.

The owner's surname was Szeto, and he bought the house from the Kadoorie family in his early years. That's right, the Kadoorie of the president of the American-Chinese Bank. But now that the Kadoorie family has rebuilt the house elsewhere, they don't want this villa, and the owner doesn't bother to change the name, and outsiders often think that the Kadoorie family still lives in it.

It is said that Lin Yimin lived here for a while, and then went to Wuhan, the house was empty, and he returned to Situ's house, and some servants usually lived in it. Because they rarely entertain guests and don't like to interact with outsiders, it is not surprising that Shanghainese people think that the host's house is mysterious.

Well, the female celebrities who have become popular recently are also from this house.

I have known the master's family for several years, and our family has a fairly good relationship with the owner, so I know a little more. Speaking of which, I didn't see him very often, but he helped me a lot. Zhang Youyi explained.

Although she still knows a lot of things, such as the relationship between Situ Nan and the Song family, when it comes to Situ Nan, she tries to keep it as simple as possible.

'Oh! It turned out to be like this, but I didn't expect there to be such twists and turns behind it. Master Xu nodded, as if he understood something. Whether it is Mr. Situ who was just now, or Lin Yimin, Kadoorie and others mentioned by Zhang Youyi, they are all the ones they want to look up to.

The Zhang family can catch up with these figures, no wonder they can become one of the top two wealthy families surnamed Zhang in Shanghai, which explains why Zhang Youyi was able to start a bank in a short period of time to start a cloud clothing company and make achievements that make men all over the world ashamed.

But I'm still a little worried, a simple sentence that the relationship is good is far from enough to show that others have almost unconditional support for Zhang Youyi, what a good woman Zhang Youyi is! Thinking of this, the happy mood of the old man of the Xu family was immediately stained with a layer of haze.

Seems to know the thoughts of the old man of the Xu family, Zhang Youyi said quietly: "Mr. Situ is overseas all the year round and rarely in China, so it was a coincidence to meet him today." ”

Originally, she wanted to say a few more words about the jealous women who used to live in Kadoorie Garden, but it was still inappropriate to think about it, so she swallowed the words back.

From Zhang Youyi's tone, he felt Zhang Youyi's caution, and the other party must have a big background, which made Zhang Youyi have some scruples.

In this regard, Master Xu was not dissatisfied. Speaking of which, Zhang Youyi's family is also considered to be the top family in Shanghai, and the family has opened a monosodium glutamate factory, making money every day, and making thousands of family fortunes.

The second brother is the president of the Bank of China, and he is indeed the God of Wealth. The eldest brother is a politician and has a lot of prestige. There are nearly ten children in the Zhang family, and none of them are simple characters.

Zhang Youyi herself is more capable, a woman opened a bank to run an industry, and she did well, and her deep connections, it is said that the Song sisters value her and participate in her women's bank, and the ladies and ladies in Shanghai all deposit money in the women's bank.

Such a talented, virtuous and capable woman, her own rebel son just can't look down on her-

Every time he thought of this, Master Xu was half angry in his heart, but fortunately, the relationship between the two families was not broken. However, the trouble doesn't stop, the rebel son has caught up with an officer's wife, and the other party is so big, in case-

When Master Xu was secretly hurt, Zhang Youyi smiled and said, "It's good that I met Mr. Situ today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch Ah Huan's birthday, and Mr. Situ also gave Ah Huan a gift." ”

Zhang Youyi said and took out a pocket watch with a golden shell and a silver necklace from her pocket, opened the lid, and there was a circle of small diamonds inlaid inside, and the dial was shiny, with a blue color like sea water, which was eye-catching.

'That's too precious, isn't it?' ”

Master Xu took it over and took a closer look, secretly exclaiming in his heart, he had never seen such a precious pocket watch, and thought: This watch is more than 10,000 oceans, right?

I said the same, but he was so gracious that I had to accept it. Zhang Youyi said helplessly.

Since it's someone's heart, take it! The things are too valuable, you keep them and give them to the child when he grows up! ”

Master Xu said with emotion. There is a trace of gratitude in my heart, if people don't look up to you, how can they give such a valuable gift? (To be continued......)

PS: ps: I've always been interested in those people and things during the Republic of China.

I watched it twice in April, and after several years, my memory was blurred.

I think Lu Xiaoman is the most beautiful, the photo of her looking down at a book in Baidu pictures is really Shayanara, and I admire and appreciate Zhang Youyi and Yu Fengzhi women who are both traditional and modern, strong and self-reliant. Although they are often supporting roles in other people's plays.
