Before 1933, all universities in China recruited students independently, and the schools set their own questions and organized their own entrance exams, and the admission of students was also decided by the school, so there were often cases where some of the big bulls of the Republic of China could still enter prestigious schools with zero points in a certain subject.

After 1933, although the school enrolled students independently, the enrollment quota of public universities was uniformly regulated by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China.

For example, the entrance examination time for Central University in Nanjing is in the middle of July, the entrance examination time for Peking University is in the end of July, and the entrance examination time for Guangzhou University is in early August. The entrance exam for Nankai University is in late July.

Under this kind of admission rules, a student can apply for multiple universities, and after taking the Tsinghua University examination, he can be admitted to Peking University, which school can be admitted. This is a bit like the college entrance examination for future specialty students, candidates will go to the field as if they have to take a number of efficient specialty student exams, and excellent students can also meet the admission standards of many universities.

As a private school, Nankai University has much more expensive tuition fees than public schools, and those who could afford to go to Nankai University at that time were wealthy, so the number of students at Nankai University has not been large.

Nankai University cannot only rely on Zhang Boling, a "monk of Huayuan", to raise funds everywhere to maintain, and the enrollment and tuition fees are still the main source of school income. It's June, which is the graduation season for middle school, and it's also the best time for Nankai University to publicize.

In order to recruit more students, Zhang Boling took Chen Qiang to Beiping to visit several well-known middle schools in Beiping.

……

Jingshi Public No. 1 Middle School was Chen Qiang's first stop.

During the Qing Dynasty, it used to be the Eight Banners Official School specially set up for the children of the Eight Banners, in 1894 it was renamed Jingzheng Academy, and in 1902 it was renamed the Zongshu Jueluo Eight Banners Middle School, after the establishment of the Republic of China, it was changed to the first public middle school of Beijing, and the enrollment was also fully liberalized, offering subjects such as Mandarin, English, mathematics, history and geography, physics and chemistry, and since then the first public middle school of Beijing Normal has become an ordinary middle school.

It is said that it is an ordinary middle school, but in fact, ordinary people can't go there, and those who can go to school here, although not everyone is a child of a high-ranking official or noble family, but they are also the children of wealthy families, and they can afford to go to Nankai University.

Beiping is not far from Tianjin, and the news of Chen Qiang's victory over foreigners in the World Games has already reached Beiping, and Chen Qiang is also a little famous in Beiping.

On the playground of Jingshi Public No. 1 Middle School, Chen Qiang performed a 100-meter sprint again, and invited several students from Jingshi Public No. 1 Middle School who ran faster to compete together.

Then in an exclamation, Chen Qiang threw off a large distance from the other people and crossed the finish line.

"Chen Qiang is running so fast!"

"It's the fastest in Asia!"

"I heard that even the world champion of foreigners is not Chen Qiang's opponent!"

"It's so powerful, I also want to be like Chen Qiang and compare with foreigners."

"I have decided that I will go to Tianjin next month to take the entrance exam for Nankai University."

Unconsciously, Chen Qiang attracted a wave of fans to Nankai University.

……

In the evening, Tsinghua University held a banquet to entertain Zhang Boling. Chen Qiang also met Professor John Ma of Tsinghua University again.

John Ma's name sounds like a foreigner, but he is actually Chinese. Professor Ma was born on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, known as the "International Architecture Museum", and there were many foreigners living on Gulangyu Island at that time, and these foreigners also influenced the residents of the island, so Professor Ma had this Chinese name with a bit of foreigner flavor.

Professor Ma has worked at Tsinghua University for 52 years, and he has actively advocated sports throughout his life, which can be said to have dedicated his life to the cause of sports in China.

The last time Chen Qiang met Professor John Ma was at the Far Eastern Games, when Professor John Ma was the head coach of the Chinese team, so Chen Qiang knew Professor John Ma.

After a year, John Ma's professor has not changed much, and it seems that he is still a little fatter.

Professor John Ma looked at Chen Qiang with a smile: "Chen Qiang, I heard that in the past year or so, you have broken many national records and Asian records, which is really terrifying." ”

"Professor Ma is ridiculous!" Chen Qiang said modestly.

"I've known about you breaking the 200m and 400m national records at the North China Games, and I heard that you won the world champion Eric Lidtier the other day. Liddell is the 400m world record holder and I've had a couple of encounters with him, so it's a real skill to beat him. ”

Professor Ma's voice changed, and then said: "I think that your current level can definitely go to the Olympic Games, and the next Olympic Games will be next year, are you interested?" ”

"It would be great if I could go, but the situation in China is not good, so participating in the Olympics is a matter of people." Chen Qiang opened his mouth and sighed.

Professor Ma nodded: "That's right, but if you can go, you should try to go." You Principal Zhang are looking forward to us Chinese appearing in the Olympic arena every day. The next Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, USA, and I also went to the United States to study when I was young, and I know some people in the American sports world. ”

Professor John Ma has twice been to Springfield College in the United States for further study. Springfield College is the most famous sports college in the United States, so Professor John Ma knows many sports practitioners in the United States.

……

In July, Nankai University also had a summer vacation, and the students all went home, while Chen Qiang stayed in the school to continue training, anyway, he was a homeless person and had nowhere else to go.

Since mid-July, heavy rains have turned the stadium of Nankai University into a fish pond.

Once the soot runway encountered rain, it was very muddy, and it was impossible to train at all, so Chen Qiang had to suspend his daily training and wait for the weather to clear.

Tianjin only suffered heavy rain, the situation in the south is even worse, the Jianghuai region suffered a rare flood in a century, such as Nanjing, Changsha, Wuhan and other cities along the Yangtze River were all flooded, among which Wuhan is the most serious, the whole city is soaked in water, citizens even rely on small bamboo rafts to travel.

This rainstorm was nationwide, not only in the Jianghuai region, but also in Guangzhou and Guangxi in the south, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest, and the provinces in the Yellow River basin in the north. For example, in many places in Shandong, precipitation has broken through historical records.

In August, there were many victims from Hebei, Shandong and other places on the streets of Tianjin.

People from all walks of life in Tianjin have also spontaneously organized fundraising activities for disaster relief, but compared with the serious floods, Tianjin's donation is only a drop in the bucket.

In this kind of large-scale disaster relief, the role of the private sector is very limited, and sometimes it will not help, so the disaster relief still has to rely on the government. It's just that since the establishment of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, it has always put the military first, and as for the people's livelihood projects, you don't want what you can.

At that time, Nanjing's military expenditure accounted for 50 percent of the total fiscal expenditure, and the debt expenditure also exceeded 30 percent, and the remaining 20 percent had to bear the government's various expenditures, and very few could be used for the national economy and people's livelihood.

In 1931, the withdrawal of tariffs could increase the fiscal revenue by about 400 million yuan per year, which was equivalent to the extra money, but when the flood came, Nanjing still could not come up with the money, and had to rely on the issuance of disaster relief bonds to provide relief.

Of course, the money was used to fight the war, and on July 23, the Jianghuai region had become a Ze country, but the big boss in Nanjing went to Jiangxi to supervise the war, and also sent a telegram of "Telling the Compatriots of the Whole Country to Unanimously Settle Inside and Outside", officially putting forward the policy of "Fighting outside must first be at home". As for the tens of millions of victims in the Jianghuai region, they are not important in his eyes at all.

The key is that the money has been spent, the words have been spoken, the bull is finished, forced to pretend, and the battle has not been won in the end, which is too embarrassing!

……

In July, August, and early September 1931, disaster relief became the main priority in China. In September, although the flood has gradually receded, but the next disaster relief and resumption of production, are all big problems, and it is about to enter winter, tens of millions of victims have no food, no winter clothing, no shelter, if not solved as soon as possible, I don't know how many people will die this winter.

The floods have made the Nanjing government even worse, and China's neighbors across the sea from the east have finally extended their claws to the northeast.

September 18th.

The fall of Fengtian, the fall of Siping, and the fall of Yingkou......

All 18 cities along the South Manchurian Railway and the Anbong Railway fell.

Changchun fell, Jilin fell! The Japanese army began to attack the entire northeast, Qiqihar was in danger, and Jinzhou was also in danger.

The feeling of bad news coming one after another, as if it was spreading as quickly as a virus, was suffocating.

Overnight, countless Tianjin citizens took to the streets, they were demonstrating, they were protesting. The common people could not understand why the Northeast Army did not resist, and simply surrendered the great rivers and mountains to the invaders.

The factories opened by the Japanese in Tianjin were all in a state of suspension, and even if they wanted to start work, no one was working, and the Chinese workers in the factories had already gone on strike en masse and took to the streets.

The shops of the Japanese have also closed their doors, because a new round of boycott of Japanese goods has come, and this boycott of Japanese goods will be more fierce than before.

The Japanese concession in Tianjin has been completely blocked, and all the Japanese expatriates in Tianjin have taken refuge in the concession, and defensive facilities such as sandbags and horse rejection have been placed at the entrances and exits of the Japanese concession, and heavy machine guns have been set up and are facing the road into the concession, ready to shoot at any time. The nearby buildings have been emptied, and the Japanese troops stationed in the Tianjin concession have also deployed firepower on the commanding heights.

If the demonstrators dared to storm the Japanese concession, I believe that these Japanese soldiers would not hesitate to shoot!

The British, French, and Italian concessions also began to impose martial law, and they were worried that this tense situation would affect the safety of the overseas Chinese, and they were even more worried that the coming war would affect their interests in China.

For example, the British consul ran to the Japanese consulate for the first time, not to condemn Japan's aggression, but to ask Japan to promise to protect the British expatriates in Northeast China from damage, and at the same time hoped that the Northeast after the Japanese occupation could implement an open door policy to the British.

……

Chen Qiang also joined the demonstrators.

Although Chen Qiang also knew that these demonstrations, these protests, and these boycotts of Japanese products were ultimately in vain, the wheel of history was still rolling forward along the original trajectory, and the footsteps of the invaders would not stop because of this.

But there are some things, even if he knows that it is useless, Chen Qiang still has to do it, because he is a Chinese!

It's been two years since he came to this era, Chen Qiang has already gone through the confusion at the beginning, and gradually integrated into this era, he has become more and more like a person of this era, so even if he knows what will happen, even if he has been mentally prepared, but when it really happens, Chen Qiang will still feel sad and angry!

……

Not only in Tianjin, but also in Beiping, Shanghai, Nanjing, and all cities in Guannai, ordinary people are demonstrating and protesting. Everyone hoped that Nanjing could send troops as soon as possible, fight the Japanese with real swords, and recover the land that had been taken away.

Nanjing, however, poured cold water on it.

The big boss in Nanjing gave a speech at an important conference, asking the people to "be unanimous at this moment, first use justice against power, peace against barbarism, endure pain and hatred, temporarily adopt an attitude of obedience and resignation, and wait for the judgment of international justice." ”

To put it simply, we need to be reasonable, peaceful, patient, and wait for international intervention.

The aggressors have already pointed their guns at you, and then pulled the trigger, and you still have to be reasonable, peaceful, and patient, what is the difference between this and waiting for death? And it is naïve to hope that international intervention will make Japan withdraw its troops!

Subsequently, Nanjing issued a letter to the people, instructing the national army: "Avoid conflict with the Japanese army, and unanimously admonish the people to maintain a serious and calm attitude." ”

As soon as this news came out, the crowd was excited! The wave of protests in various places intensified, and thousands of petitioning university students gathered in front of the Nanjing government.

In the face of surging public opinion, Nanjing finally put out a scapegoat, and Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting submitted a petition for resignation.

Wang Zhengting is not only a foreign minister, but also a member of the International Olympic Committee, and now his resignation and fading out of Nanjing's power core have also made the future Olympic journey of Chinese athletes more difficult.

……

On Chen Qiang's desk is a copy of Sports Weekly, a local newspaper in Tianjin and one of the few sports publications in China. The contents of the "Sports Weekly" mainly include: sports theory, sports technology research, sports history, sports notes, teaching materials, domestic and foreign sports surveys, competition rules, sports records, sports who's who and literary works, etc., and the content is very rich.

Chen Qiang read carefully, and suddenly, a piece of news attracted Chen Qiang's attention.

Japan's Tadahei Minami set a new world record in the long jump with a score of 7.98m at the Tokyo Games. It is understood that Nanbu Chungpyeong used a new type of push-up long jump technique for the first time......"

Chen Qiang didn't look at it much, his eyes stayed on the words "world record" and "standing up long jump technique".

"Nanbu Zhongping really broke the world record!" Chen Qiang let out a long sigh.

According to his memory, at next year's Los Angeles Olympics, Nanbu Tadahei will also break the world record in the triple jump. An athlete holds the world record in both the long jump and the triple jump, and Minami Tadahei was definitely the king of the world long jump in the thirties.

"For the first time, a new type of upright long jump technology was used, and there should be many flaws in the upright air in this era!" Chen Qiang thought to himself.

There are three main techniques for the long jump, which are squatting, standing up, and walking. Among them, the squatting type of air was the first to appear, and it was also the simplest, followed by the walking type of air and the upright type of air until 1931.

Nanbu Chungpei was the first to use the upright vacancy, so later generations generally believed that Nanbu Chungpei was the inventor of the upright vacancy technology, and this technology also brought Nanbu Chungpei two world records.

Suddenly, Chen Qiang had an impulse to practice the long jump and snipe at the Olympics against Southern Zhongping.

Chen Qiang has no hatred for Southern Zhongping, he just regards Southern Zhongping as an opponent, if it was before "918", Chen Qiang may not have the idea of sniping Southern Zhongping.

But now it's different, Chen Qiang feels that for the sake of the country and the nation, he should do something.

He is not a soldier, he can't go to the battlefield with a gun to fight the Japanese, he is not a political tycoon, and he can't change the situation through his influence, he is just a small athlete, a young man who is only 17 years old, and all he can do is defeat the Japanese in the Olympic Games.

It is true that defeating a Japanese athlete at the Olympics, winning a gold medal, or breaking a world record will not stop the aggressors and make the country strong, but it is a very rewarding thing.

In life, there are always things that will not have any practical results when done, but they are meaningful.

"Nanfang Zhongping can jump 7.98 meters, so I have to jump 8 meters to win against Nanbu Zhongping! 8 meters, that's equivalent to the level of an international athlete! ”

Chen Qiang carefully recalled the standards of track and field athletes in later generations, and 8 meters is exactly the standard result of international athletes in the long jump event, which is a relatively difficult achievement to achieve.

In the future, China will not be weak in the long jump, and will always be in the position of the Asian leader, with athletes entering the finals of the Olympic Games or ranking in the World Championships. Although China's long jumpers have not yet won the world championship with gold content, they are still world-class.

In Chen Qiang's previous life, he had practiced long jump for a period of time, and his level was not high at that time, and the national second-level athlete was more than enough.

Today's Chen Qiang, as a sprinter, also has an advantage if he practices the long jump, and he can achieve good results without spending too much effort.

Many people think that the 100-meter dash should be similar to the 110-meter hurdles, but in fact, among all athletics, the most similar to the 100-meter dash is the long jump.

For example, in a 4x100m relay, if a team member is unable to compete, a long jumper will be given priority. In fact, the long jumper will not run much slower than the sprinter.

Similarly, if a sprinter is asked to practice the long jump, the results will not be too bad.

Sprinting and the long jump are two of the most basic athletics, and many athletes have practiced this sport, and then they have been tapped by coaches in other sports and then switched to it.

Historically, there have been many long jumpers and sprinters, or sprinters and long jumpers, and there have been many people who have achieved extremely high results. Nanfang Zhongping is a long jump and sprinter, and if Chen Qiang is a sprint and long jump, it is not uncommon.

After making up his mind to practice the long jump, Chen Qiang wanted to tell Zhang Boling about it.

knocked on the door of the principal's office, and Zhang Boling's voice sounded from inside

"Please come in!"

Chen Qiang pushed the door in, but saw Zhang Boling sitting in his position with a happy face.

"Chen Qiang, it's just in time, I have good news for you." Zhang Boling waved a piece of paper in his hand, and then said: "I just received a telegram that the International Olympic Committee has officially recognized our Chinese Sports Association as China's Olympic Committee, and we finally have an Olympic Committee!" We Chinese athletes can finally go to the Olympics! ”

Zhang Boling seemed very happy, since entering the second half of 1931, China has been unlucky, first a nationwide flood, then the fall of the Northeast, and now there is finally good news.

Although this good news seemed so small in the face of the fall of the Northeast, at least it made the old man feel a little happier, and he was no longer depressed all day long.

Chen Qiang knew that the establishment of the Chinese Olympic Committee was only the first step, and the road for Chinese athletes to participate in the Olympic Games was still very difficult, but he didn't want to dampen Zhang Boling's good mood, so he deliberately showed a very surprised look.

I only heard Zhang Boling continue: "The next Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles, USA, at the end of July next year, and after the Spring Festival, I will call the Ministry of Education, we will form a Chinese delegation to participate in the Olympic Games!" ”

Zhang Boling said, showing a happy expression.

Allowing Chinese to participate in the Olympic Games is one of Zhang Boling's lifelong dreams, and now that the dream is about to come true, the old man is of course very happy.

"Chen Qiang, in the next few months, you have to train hard, and when you wait for the Olympic Games next year, you will strive to get a medal and come back and win glory for the country!" Zhang Boling said.

In Zhang Boling's view, if the Chinese can win a medal in the Olympic Games for the first time, it will be a very satisfactory result.

Chen Qiang responded, and then chatted with Zhang Boling for a few more words, and then said: "Sir, in addition to sprinting, I also want to practice long jump." ”

"Long jump? Why? Zhang Boling asked.

"Sprinting and long jump have a lot in common, and there are many athletes who are engaged in both sprinting and long jump." Chen Qiang replied.

Zhang Boling frowned and said: "Chen Qiang, I know that your results in sprinting are very good, whether it is 100 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters, you are the fastest in Asia, but you also need to know that it is difficult to keep improving if you are greedy for more than you can chew, and many times you pursue too much quantity." Besides, the Olympics is the highest level in the world, and you are facing athletes from European and American powers, who are much better than the Japanese. ”

"Sir, I know all of what you say, but I have faith." Chen Qiang said and took out the sports weekly report, put it in front of Zhang Boling, and then said: "Actually, the main reason why I want to practice long jump is this. ”

"Nanbu Chungpyeong, set a new world record in the long jump!" Zhang Boling saw the news.

Chen Qiang continued: "In the 100-meter sprint event, I can win Nanfang Zhongping, and in the long jump event, I can also win him, and I am younger than him, I am confident!" ”

"I see." Zhang Boling nodded.

If it was before the "918" happened, Zhang Boling might have prevented Chen Qiang from practicing the long jump, but now it is different, Chen Qiang obviously wants to anger the Japanese in the experience field, and Zhang Boling will definitely not stop it.

At this time, Zhang Boling even felt that Chen Qiang was not educated in vain, and when this national crisis was at hand, Chen Qiang knew how to fight back against the invaders in his own way.

"Ambitious!" Zhang Boling sighed and instructed: "Since you plan to practice long jump, then work hard, the key is to arrange the training time reasonably, don't delay the sprint event in order to practice the long jump." ”

……

Of course, Chen Qiang will not worry about the problem of training time, his main training is carried out in the training space, where there is ten times the actual time bonus, theoretically Chen Qiang can train ten events at the same time.

In his previous life, when Chen Qiang was an athlete, the long jump was only at the level of a national second-level athlete, and he could barely jump a little more than seven meters.

But the long jump skills he mastered were far beyond those of this era.

At this time, China's long jump was still relatively backward, and the national record in the long jump during the Republic of China was set by Hao Chunde in the 1933 National Games with 6.912 meters. It was only 1931, and Hao Chunde had not yet set a national record. Chen Qiang participated in the Hangzhou National Games before, Hao Chunde also participated, and won the long jump championship, when his winning score was only 6.01 meters.

The score of 6.01 meters can be achieved by junior high school students in the future. But in this day and age, it's the national champions for adults!

If Chen Qiang jumps a distance of 7 meters, it is a national record.

However, the 7-meter score is still too far behind the Japanese, and in domestic competitions, there are many athletes who jump more than 7 meters, and Nanbu Tadahei often jumps more than 7.4 meters, not to mention that he has just broken the world record in the long jump.

Therefore, if Chen Qiang wants to surpass Southern Zhongping, in addition to hard training, he needs to rely on advanced technology to make up for it.

In the next training, Chen Qiang joined the long jump and triple jump. With nine months to go until next year's Los Angeles Olympics, Chen Qiang is confident of surpassing Nanbu Zhongping with the addition of 10 times his training time.

……

The news that the International Olympic Committee officially recognized the Chinese Sports Association as China's Olympic Committee did not attract the attention of the public, and no one paid attention to it at all, except for the cheers of the sports circles. After all, this is a national crisis, and news of the fall of the city comes every day.

Demonstrators still appear on the streets, but much less than in September, when ordinary people have to support their families and cannot protest on the streets every day. At this time, the main force on the street became college students.

By mid-December, news came from Nanjing that the authorities had sent military police to suppress college students who had taken to the streets to petition, and since then, there have been far fewer protests on the streets of Tianjin.

In this way, the whole of China entered 1932 with a breath of grief and indignation.

Just after New Year's Day, the news that the Northeast Army had abandoned Jinzhou and withdrawn to Guannei reached Tianjin, and although Harbin had not yet been captured by the Japanese army, it was only a matter of time before the entire Northeast fell.

At this time, many Jinan people came to Tianjin for refuge, because the Japanese army landed in Qingdao again.

The Japanese army appeared in Qingdao, and the people of Qingdao did not panic, because since 1914, the Japanese army had landed in Qingdao seven times, and basically as long as the Japanese expatriates in Qingdao were disturbed, Japan would send troops to Qingdao to "maintain order" in the Japanese residential area.

So many Qingdao people have become accustomed to the sudden appearance of Japanese on the streets of Qingdao.

However, the people of Jinan were very afraid, and the "Jinan Massacre" had only passed a few years, and once the Japanese landed in Qingdao, the people of Jinan would leave with their families in tow, so as not to become the soul of the Japanese under the sword.

On January 28, with only seven days left before the Spring Festival, the Japanese army began to attack Shanghai again, and almost all the places in Shanghai became battlefields except for the concession.

When the news reached Tianjin, a tense atmosphere filled the entire Tianjin Gate. The British, French, and Italian Concessions all began to move, and the garrisons in the concession took to the streets with guns and fortifications at key points.

Housing prices in the concession area also began to rise sharply, while those outside the concession area fell rapidly.

The people of Tianjin seemed to realize overnight that the war was very close to them!

Originally, people thought that Tianjin was safe, because Tianjin had British, French and Italian concessions, and the Japanese did not dare to come to Tianjin, and it was also for this reason that many Jinan people came to Tianjin for refuge.

But now it seems that Tianjin is not safe either.

Shanghai also has the British Concession and the French Concession, and Shanghai is also the largest city in the Far East, much more prosperous than Tianjin, but the Japanese still fight as they say, and do not give any face to Western powers such as Britain and France. In this case, how can Tianjin be preserved?

What's more, there is also a Japanese concession in Tianjin, and there are Japanese military camps, thousands of Japanese garrisons, and many Japanese expatriates in the Japanese concession.

After learning that Shanghai's Zhabei District was in ruins, Tianjin people panicked, and rich people ran to the concession to set up real estate, which of course pushed up the housing prices in the concession, and at the same time, Tianjin people also realized that it was not a safe place outside the concession, so the housing prices outside the lease began to fall.

It's a pity that Chen Qiang doesn't have much capital, otherwise he would have taken advantage of this time to buy a property outside the lease at a low price, and when the situation stabilizes, the house price will rise back and then sell it, and he will definitely make a difference.

In fact, even if he has the capital, Chen Qiang can't do that, he now has to save money for the Los Angeles Olympics, going to the United States to compete is a big expense, and Tianjin's housing price recovery is not a matter of a while, Chen Qiang will definitely not put money on real estate.

In this way, Tianjin spent the Spring Festival of 1932 in a panicked mood.

This Spring Festival, the market is obviously a lot deserted, the prosperity of previous years is no longer there, those small merchants and hawkers who work hard in Tianjin can't wait to go home early for the New Year, maybe only home, can make them feel a sense of security.

After the Spring Festival, the flow of people in the temple fair of Tianhou Temple is also a lot less, there are fewer people visiting the temple fair, there are fewer vendors at the temple fair, and there are fewer people who are playing tricks. It is said that many artists were worried that the Japanese would suddenly kill them, so they did not dare to eat at the temple fair in Tianjin, and went to Beiping instead.

This year's Beiping is indeed more lively than in previous years, the Northeast Army withdrew to the Guannei, and many dignitaries and nobles in the Northeast also withdrew to the Guannei, in addition to teachers, students, technical personnel, and ordinary people who do not want to be ruled by Japan, after these people left the Northeast, most of them came to Beiping, making Beiping City hundreds of thousands more.

Fortunately, Beiping City is big enough, otherwise it really can't accommodate so many people.

This year, Wuzhou Pharmacy did not participate in the temple fair, and Chen Qiang did not have to go to the temple fair to "perform".

Chen Qiang was very surprised by this, this annual temple fair is a great opportunity for self-promotion, and Wuzhou Pharmacy will participate every year. Last year, because of the existence of Chen Qiang, coupled with the fact that the martial arts people in Tianjin came to send people one by one, Wuzhou Pharmacy gathered the most people and attracted the most attention, and the publicity effect was very good. Even if this year's temple fair is not as lively as last year, for businessmen, there is no reason why they can't make money.

It wasn't until the sixth day of junior high school that Chen Qiang met Mr. Xiang, the person in charge of Wuzhou Group in Tianjin.

Mr. Xiang is much thinner than before, he looks very haggard, and there is no New Year's celebration on his face.

After a few brief greetings between the two, Mr. Xiang took out a check and handed it to Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang was slightly stunned, it is said that it is not yet time to renew the contract with Wuzhou Pharmacy, why did this gentleman send it over with a check!

So Chen Qiang didn't dare to take the check, but asked, "Mr. Xiang, who are you?" ”

"Chen Jianjiang, let's not hide it, we plan to terminate the contract with Chen Jianjiang, this money, even if it is a little compensation for Chen Jianjiang! Please also ask Jian Chen to accept it. Mr. Xiang said.

"Termination? But what am I not doing well enough? Chen Qiang hurriedly asked.

Wuzhou Company gives Chen Qiang an advertising endorsement fee of 1,000 yuan every year, which is also Chen Qiang's biggest source of income, so Chen Qiang doesn't want to lose this God of Wealth.

"No, General Chen don't think about it, you have also contributed a lot to the development of our Wuzhou company, we are very grateful to you." Mr. Xiang spoke.

Chen Qiang hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Forgive me for asking more, is your company in trouble?" ”

Mr. Xiang sighed: "To be honest, our Wuzhou company has indeed encountered a huge crisis, and our boss, that is, my cousin Xiang Songmao, sacrificed his life for the country last week!" The pharmaceutical factories in Shanghai were all destroyed by the Japanese, and our Wuzhou company suffered heavy losses and many employees died. Now that the company is leaderless, it is difficult to say whether it will survive this hurdle, and if the situation is not good, the company may go out of business. So Chen Jianjiang, it's better for you to exchange this check earlier, in case you go late and our Wuzhou company goes bankrupt, then this check can't be cashed. ”

Next, Mr. Xiang gave a detailed introduction to the situation of Wuzhou Company.

After 918, Xiang Songmao, the boss of Wuzhou Company, actively participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement, served as a member of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress, and organized the employees of Wuzhou into a volunteer army, and hired military instructors for training, which also aroused the hatred of the Japanese army.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai in 128 Song, Xiang Songmao accepted the production task of military drugs, and the pharmaceutical factories under Wuzhou Company worked day and night to produce drugs to supply the urgent needs of the front line.

After the Japanese invaded Shanghai, they occupied the pharmaceutical factory in Wuzhou, arrested Xiang Songmao and some employees of Wuzhou Company, and then Xiang Songmao and others were brutally killed and destroyed.

Xiang Songmao was killed, Wuzhou Company was suddenly leaderless, and the factory in Shanghai was destroyed by the Japanese, Wuzhou Company suffered heavy losses, and it seemed that it had come to the brink of bankruptcy.

Mr. Xiang, the person in charge of Tianjin, also had a conscience, and knew that Wuzhou Company might not be able to hold on, so he terminated the contract with Chen Qiang in advance, and paid Chen Qiang a sum of money as compensation, so as not to make Chen Qiang hit by chickens and eggs, and he couldn't get anything.

Chen Qiang did not accept the check, he returned the money to Mr. Xiang, and Chen Qiang also promised that as long as Wuzhou Pharmacy did not go out of business, he would continue to advertise and endorse Wuzhou Pharmacy without charging any fees.

Because Xiang Maosong, the owner of Wuzhou Company, sacrificed his life for the country, he is a hero!

The crisis of Wuzhou Company is also caused by this, if Chen Qiang subordinates this compensation fee at this time, then Chen Qiang is really in vain for Chinese!

Not to mention anything else, with Mr. Xiang Songmao's generous deeds, Chen Qiang also decided to work together with Wuzhou Company, even if he didn't receive a penny, and took his labor in vain, Chen Qiang also had no regrets.

Looking at the back of Mr. Xiang leaving, Chen Qiang let out a long sigh.

"In this way, I earn another thousand dollars less every year! I haven't saved a lot of money for more than a year, but now that I have lost this thousand oceans, I feel that the ticket to the United States to participate in the Olympics is flying farther and farther! The next step is to plan well and at least earn money for the ferry ticket to the United States. ”
