The reason why the magic capital is the magic capital is because she is full of magic.

Since it became one of the five treaty ports during the Ming Dynasty, it has gradually developed here.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the incompetence of the government, it was occupied by various countries, and a concession was established, and the development was even more rapid.

In 1920, the economy of the Magic City was the sixth largest in the world and the first in Asia.

The International Hotel, which is already under construction at 80 meters high and has more than 20 floors, will be the tallest building in the Far East for decades to come.

The public concession centered on the Anglo-American concession, as well as the French concession, constitute the two major centers of the economic take-off of the magic capital.

The Oriental Daily, which Zhou Zhen let An Changquan acquire, is located in the French Concession, and is now at the middle and upper level among the more than 300 newspapers in the country, barely ranking in the second echelon.

And the film company he founded is located next to the big world of the Public Concession, which is also the most prosperous area of the magic capital today.

Opened in 1917, the world covers an area of nearly 15,000 square meters, with cinemas, theaters, jugglers, shopping malls, Chinese and Western restaurants, rings, dance halls and so on.

The wide variety of entertainment items are mainly divided into "Expo World", "Food World", "Amusement World" and "Competitive World".

In particular, the Big World Arena in the "Athletic World" is the largest and most professional competition venue in the Far East, capable of hosting various professional competitions and Guinness Book of Records Ring Matches.

After Zhou Zhen learned about these situations, he asked An Changquan to arrange the headquarters of the film company not far from the next door to the big world.

In addition to finding some famous prostitutes from the big world to act in movies, Zhou Zhen also wants to see up close how high the level of boxing is in this era.

I can't say it, when I met someone who raised the sign of the sick man of East Asia, he also wanted to show off his national prestige.

In the residence of the magic capital, An Changquan bought a former consular annex in the French Concession.

The house is spread over five acres of land and has a two-story main building, a Suzhou garden-style garden, and several maid's rooms.

It has not yet entered the thirties, and the price of this house has not soared.

What's more, Zhou Zhen, as the son of the prime minister, also received certain discounts.

It took eight hours to get from Jinling to the magic capital, and it was already evening when An Changquan was taken to this house in the French Concession.

Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian are very satisfied with this house, although it is not as big as the Prime Minister's Residence, but their number is much smaller.

Several people live in this house, and it seems a little deserted.

Bai Xiuzhu fell in love with this house at a glance and lingered in the garden. "It's so beautiful, the air here is much more humid, Brother Seven, let's stay here for a long time in the future."

Zhou Zhen gently pulled a green bamboo, looking at this beautiful garden, the small bridge and flowing water, and the shallow pool at his feet There were goldfish swimming around, and he was also very satisfied.

"We can live until the world is destroyed if you want to."

Bai Xiuzhu didn't know that this world belonged to a semi-illusory world, where could a woman in this era be able to resist such sweet words, and couldn't help but lean on Zhou Zhen's body.

"Seventh brother, I'm like a dream every day."

Zhou Zhen let out a long sigh and hugged her shoulders. "Then I'll make you never wake up in this dream."

An Chang's whole body was old-fashioned, and he couldn't help coughing when he saw men and women making love in front of the public, and said: "Seventh young master, when I first arrived in the Demon Capital today, I will rest for one night, and I will recuperate tomorrow. ”

Zhou Zhen retracted his thoughts, and said to Bai Xiuzhu in a warm voice: "You go and help Jiang's mother assign a maid, and I will discuss the affairs with An Lao first." ”

Bai Xiuzhu hummed lightly, smiled at Zhou Zhen, turned around and saluted An Changquan, and left.

Zhou Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the blue sky for a while, turned around and said, "An Lao, I have also read the information of people from all walks of life in the magic capital that you asked people to bring to the capital." Before I came, my father also told me that you are an absolutely trustworthy person. ”

An Changquan said respectfully: "I entered the Jin family at the age of twelve, and I have lived for nearly forty years, and I have no idea of leaving the Jin family in this life. ”

Zhou Zhen nodded and said: "Let you go from the idle position of bank supervisor, but now you have come to help me prepare the newspaper, the bank, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Banking affairs are in order, and the old decay is just a position, and everyone is resting. Now that I have come to the magic capital, this world of flowers, but it is really unforgettable. ”

Seeing that An Changquan was not dissatisfied, Zhou Zhencai said earnestly: "My father is in the officialdom, but he lacks arm help and support. The main purpose of running a newspaper in the French Concession is to speak for his father, and everything else is a subsection. ”

An Changquan said: "If the newspaper wants to speak for the master, it must first survive, then expand, and finally Zhang Yan." ”

Seeing that An Changquan had a clear idea, Zhou Zhen said with satisfaction: "An Lao is thoughtful, Yanxi will not put more beaks, and Oriental Daily will ask An Lao." ”

An Changquan pondered for a while and asked: "The young master doesn't seem to pay much attention to newspapers and periodicals, but he is obsessed with the film company, is it reversed?" ”

Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "There is an old man in control of the overall situation, and in a few days, there will be an old man from the capital to assist an old man, I am relieved." I'll just be lazy for two years and enjoy the glitzy life of Shanghai Tang. ”

After all, Jin Yanxi, who was occupied by Zhou Zhen, was only seventeen years old, and An Changquan was actually a little worried about his low eyesight. Jian Zhou Zhen didn't interfere at all, and his heart was relaxed.

He relaxed and said: "Knowing that the young master is coming, the City Hall, the French Concession Public Board of Directors, the Public Concession Ministry of Industry, the Overseer's Mansion, and the old man from all walks of life have also contacted here, young master, when will a dance be held......

"Have you counted the number of people? Where is the magic capital suitable for a dance party? Count all of this, and then I'll decide to have a reception ball. ”

"Okay."

After determining these priorities, An Changquan was ready to retreat, and then thought about it and asked: "Seventh Young Master, the demon capital is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is more chaotic than the capital, the master only sent you four guards with guns, I'm afraid it's not enough, do you want the Overseer's Mansion to send another team of guards?" ”

"I'll talk about it later, I'll familiarize myself with the situation here."

An Changquan arrived ahead of schedule, and ten servants had been recruited in the Jin Mansion, but except for the cook, they were all temporary.

If you want to work in the Jin Mansion, you can't be hard-working and willing to do it. Bai Xiuzhu and Jiang Ma tested each maid and brushed down four that could not be trusted.

An Changquan made a phone call, and soon, the brokerage company arranged for ten more servants for them to choose.

Zhou Zhen didn't interfere in these things, and asked Xiao Lian to move all the newspapers collected by An Changquan in the first half of the year to the study, arrange them according to the date, and start reading the newspapers.

Most of the world's intelligence is actually disseminated through the public media, and the key is to learn to find the sand.

Without special guidance, it is difficult to sift through the true information from a hundred pieces of information.

Although Zhou Zhen doesn't know much about this aspect, he doesn't need to be familiar with professional intelligence, he reads newspapers just to understand the general environment of the era of the magic capital.

This is not real history, it is a fictional world of the author.

For example, there is no threat of war, such as a florist, such as an active economy.

Only by understanding this place can we better survive and develop.

But in many places, it's not much different from the real history. For example, concessions, such as gangsters, such as selling feasts......

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty a few decades ago, the sale of feasts has become the most lucrative industry.

The sale of feasts in other places has been controlled, but in places where there are concessions, feasts are still coming in.

The more he learned, the more he felt that the world needed to be transformed, but he didn't think he had the ability.

In the tide of the times, the power of one person is too limited.

If the door is closed, he will feel that this era is very enjoyable, women regard men as the sky, but when he opens the door and sees foreigners showing off his might in this country, he will feel very depressed.

When I was in the capital, I didn't feel it, but when I came to the magic capital, this feeling was even stronger.

He kept telling himself in his heart that this was not the real history, this was not the real history......

Bai Xiuzhu walked over with a cup of strong tea, put the teacup on the table, and rubbed her frowning brows for Zhou Zhen. "What's wrong? If you're not happy to watch, don't watch it. ”

"If you are unhappy, you have to look at it, and if you don't look at it, you don't know how much injustice is hidden behind this prosperity."

Bai Xiuzhu sat in his arms and hugged his neck. "Brother Seven, you have changed too much this year. I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, and we can take care of our little family. ”

Zhou Zhen put down the newspaper. "I'm fine, it's just a moment. Knowing the situation in the magic capital, we can also better develop our own careers. Tomorrow, you will go around the New World and see how big this is the largest gold cave in the Far East! ”

Bai Xiuzhu laughed. "I'm afraid that your wallet will be insufficient in the future, so you won't let me go to ......"

Soft lips fell on his face, fragrant and fragrant. "After four days on the road, today we will have a good rest for ......"

There was a knock on the door, and Mercy pushed it open. "Young master, all walks of life in the demon capital know that you are here, and everyone has sent people to send greetings and gifts, please come out and have a look......"

Zhou Zhen patted Bai Xiuzhu's plump, and she immediately stood up straight and helped Zhou Zhen tidy up her clothes. "My father is now prestigious, and he is expected to take over as president, and all walks of life in the magic capital couldn't find a way to talk to him before, but now it's convenient."

Zhou Zhen brushed her hair and said: "You and I are not short of money to spend, and the gifts we receive are fine, if there is cash, count it out, and donate it to do good deeds in a few days." ”

"Okay." Bai Xiuzhu was not a greedy person in the first place, and she also knew that she needed to build their prestige when she first arrived at the demons, and she knew what to do with Zhou Zhen's guidance on many things.

Thinking of this, he thought of the White Lotus again, if he married her, it would take a lot of energy just for two people from different environments to run in with each other.

Marrying Bai Xiuzhu is indeed the most correct step.
