Chapter 22 Friendship
On the second day, Zhou Zhen, under the leadership of An Changquan, began to worship the pier in the magic capital one by one.
This is the etiquette of life, although he is the son of the prime minister, but he is still young, it is impossible for these big officials to come to see him first.
The City Hall, the Overseer's Office, and the Ministry of Industry are all the first to visit.
After a busy day, I met with more than a dozen elders, big guys, and had dinner with the mayor before returning home.
To Zhou Zhen's surprise, Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian, who went out to play, have not come back yet, but Zhou Zhen is not worried, there are two guards behind him, and Jiang Ma, who is well-done, nothing will happen.
It was almost half past ten o'clock, when a few women came back, not only bringing back large bags and small bags, but everyone was elated.
When she went out, Bai Xiuzhu was still wearing a Western long skirt, and when she came back, she changed into a silk embroidered cheongsam, showing her slim figure to the fullest.
Even Jiang's mother took off the robe she wore all year round and changed into a cheongsam, which looked graceful and luxurious.
Only Xiao Lian saw them wearing cheongsams and pouting, sullen.
When I asked, I realized that her figure couldn't match the cheongsam and was ridiculed.
Not only did they buy on a large scale today, but they also watched a few performances in the big world.
To Zhou Zhen's surprise, Jiang's mother turned out to be a fan of the opera, and today she watched it for four hours under the stage of Kunqu Opera, and she hasn't enjoyed it yet.
Mrs. Jin sent her to the magic capital, in fact, the main reason was to let her come to Rongyang.
She has worked hard for the Jin family all her life, and when she arrived in the magic capital, the personnel were simple, and the master was only Zhou Zhen and the three of them.
As long as all the servants are trained, she can be idle, so Zhou Zhen also supports her to go to the theater more if she has nothing to do.
After chatting about the difference between the magic capital and the capital, Bai Xiuzhu remembered and asked, "Did you go out smoothly today?" ”
"Smooth. We relied on our father's actions, and as long as he did not fall, our lives would be better. ”
"What nonsense, how could my father fall? Tomorrow we are going to Nanjing Road to have a look, do you want to come with us? ”
"Nope. Tomorrow I will visit the garrison headquarters and some of my father's friends. Tomorrow night, I may have dinner at the big world, would you like to come along? ”
"Who, please?"
"A land snake."
In this semi-illusory world, Zhou Zhen will only live for a few years, and he has no idea of saving the country and the people.
Since he doesn't have big ambitions, the real upper-class person, he actually just needs to get by.
On the contrary, the street characters of the magic capital, he must be encircled.
Today's magic capital dragons and snakes are mixed, the green gang is powerful, and the biggest personal strength is the golden velvet.
To Zhou Zhen's surprise, except for Golden Velvet, the other two tycoons with him in history did not appear.
Zhou Zhen originally thought that they had not yet made a fortune, but after reading the list of bigwigs of the Demon Capital Green Gang, it was determined that there was no Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng in this world.
Because without those two people, the power of Golden Velvet is greater, and at the bottom of society, it can be said that it covers the sky with one hand.
He is now the chief inspector of the French Concession, the highest official position and the most powerful except for a few Chinese directors.
In Zhou Zhen's memory, the big world should be the industry of golden velvet, but after understanding it, he realized that the boss here was called Huang Chujiu.
This Huang Chujiu is not well-known in later generations, but now, he is the largest industrialist in the magic capital and a pioneer in leading the economic development of the magic capital.
He has more than 100 companies under his name, and he is the first in every place, and he can be said to be similar to the status of the second horse in later generations.
With Asia's largest entertainment center New World, Asia's largest amusement center Big World, his assets are hundreds of millions, not to mention a pharmaceutical trust group composed of more than 20 pharmaceutical companies under his name.
Zhou Zhen was also wondering if this character was fictional, because in the real world, he had never heard of this person.
On the third day, Zhou Zhen continued to visit the bigwigs from all sides, and he was busy until the afternoon, which was considered the end of the matter.
It's not that he visited everyone in two days, these are what he needs to take the initiative to visit.
For the rest, he doesn't have to go to see him again, just wait for the other party to come to meet him.
"Seventh Young Master, although Golden Velvet is powerful in the Demon Capital, he is mainly active at the bottom of society. You only need to hand over a post, and he will take the initiative to come to the door, why bother to invite him, you will be the first to invite him to the magic capital, it seems that something is inappropriate. ”
Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will have a big banquet for guests, so naturally I have to clean up the street first." Otherwise, when tomorrow is lively, there will be a lot of trouble, and the dance party will not be happy. ”
An Changquan listened to Zhou Zhen's explanation and nodded. "If it's for this reason, then it's reasonable to invite him to dinner today."
Zhou Zhen has no feelings for golden velvet, let alone worship.
The so-called times create heroes, and troubled times produce heroes. Whenever there is chaos in society, many heroes can always be shown.
A hundred years ago, there were countless martyrs to worship, what can a gang leader count?
But his father Zhou Youjian likes Golden Velvet very much, and his family bought several books on Golden Velvet, although Zhou Zhen has not read it, he has heard him tell the story of Golden Velvet since he was a child.
Under the influence of the ears and eyes, I also know a little about the golden velvet.
Although he is a gang leader and has done a lot of bad things, there is one thing that Zhou Zhen admires him very much.
That is, he is not a traitor.
In the original history, the magic capital fell in the thirties, and he and Du Yuesheng were both resolute in resisting Japan, and only Zhang Xiaolin became a big traitor.
Of course, Zhang Xiaolin did not have a good result, he was assassinated and died, and the two of them can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end.
There is no Du Yuesheng in this world, only a more powerful golden velvet remains.
Zhou Zhen, as the son of the prime minister, does not need to slap him, it is still necessary to envelop him appropriately.
With his help, he can live a comfortable life in the magic capital for a few years.
was busy until half past four in the afternoon, and then asked An Changquan to prepare a car and go to the big world, drink first, and then watch the play.
Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian also followed, including Jiang's mother, several of them liked the shows in the big world very much, and they could find their favorite entertainment.
At five o'clock, Zhou Zhen's car drove into the big world and stopped at the door of the Huaiyang restaurant.
The short and fat golden velvet and a handsome old handsome guy were waiting at the door, and before the car stopped, the golden velvet ran over and personally helped Zhou Zhen open the door.
"Jin Gongzi came to the Demon Capital, and the old man is also honored to be a member of the Demon Capital, and he can be treated by Jin Gongzi today, and the old man can blow it for a lifetime."
His official position is the inspector general of the French Concession, which is naturally far from that of Jin Quan's prime minister.
The Overseer's son can beat him up and extort a large sum of money, and he can only bear it, let alone the Prime Minister's son.
"Boss Huang is polite, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and when you come to the Demon Capital, you naturally want to help you, the order maintainer of the Demon Capital."
Zhou Zhen hugged his fists with him, and then took advantage of the situation, and said hello to the handsome old guy.
Then he turned around and reached out to take Bai Xiuzhu, who was in the same car with her.
An Changquan, who was sitting in the front row, had also gotten out of the car and took the initiative to greet the handsome old guy. "Boss Huang greeted him personally, he didn't dare to be, he didn't dare to be."
This handsome old guy is Huang Chujiu, a famous tycoon in the magic capital, although he is not young, he is handsome and extraordinary.
Yesterday I made up my homework, Zhou Zhen also has some understanding of this Huang Chujiu, and in the whole country, he is a wealthy man.
Although Zhou Zhen was wearing a suit, it was an ancient salute after getting out of the car, and Chang Yi was more skilled than these old men.
Of course, Zhou Zhen has spent fourteen years in the world of Xiaoao Jianghu, and the ancient way of saluting is naturally more familiar than that of people hundreds of years later.
But his bearing is extraordinary, and his advance and retreat are well-founded, which also makes Huang Chujiu look a little higher.
Waiting for Bai Xiuzhu to get out of the car, Huang Jinrong took off her hat and bowed to her slightly. "Hello Mrs. Jin."
Bai Xiuzhu is also very proficient in this kind of entertainment, squatted slightly, and returned a salute. "Hello Boss Huang."
An Changquan then led Huang Chujiu and said: "Seventh Young Master, this is Boss Huang, a famous industrial tycoon in the magic capital, such a big world is just a small industry for him. ”
Huang Chujiu said like Zhou Zhenchang: "Jin Gongzi is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and he can see it today, and he is fortunate to have three lives." ”
"Boss Huang is polite, you are a pioneer of Western medicine in China and a pioneer in the entertainment industry, and my juniors still need to learn more from you."
Golden Velvet's wife also came over and talked to Bai Xiuzhu, she was good at dancing with long sleeves, not only paying attention to Bai Xiuzhu, but even Xiao Lian and Jiang's mother, who came down from the back car, were not neglected by her.
Huang Rong smiled: "It's better to go in and talk in detail, Jin Gongzi, Jin Shao's grandmother, Boss An, please ......"
Zhou Zhen walked in front with his hands in his pockets, Bai Xiuzhu held his arm, and on his right, it was Huang Chujiu, constantly introducing the layout of the big world and some interesting performances to Zhou Zhen.
Golden Velvet's wife accompanied Bai Xiuzhu, he was one step behind, accompanied An Changquan, and entered the building together.
To be honest, the big world of the magic capital a hundred years ago was already more functional than most playgrounds in later generations.
If you want to listen to the play, there are various repertoire in the performance hall where you can listen to the play.
If you want to watch a movie, several cinemas show domestic and foreign movies every day.
If you want to watch the game, there are various competitive competitions to enjoy every day.
If you want to see acrobatics, there are countless entertainers performing every day.
There are also restaurants with various flavors, a park on the rooftop, a zoo, and various shops, which can be described as a paradise for women.
And Huang Chujiu also has the largest casino in Asia, called New World.
It is said that there are hundreds of dancers and prostitutes alone, and it can be described as a man's paradise.
The layout of this restaurant is more French and opulent, and it can be said that it is even more beautiful than many large hotels a hundred years later.
It is worth mentioning that the taxis in today's magic capital are all imported British long-nosed classic cars.
Although the car configuration is relatively backward due to technology, from the outside, it is much more beautiful than the taxi in a hundred years.
It is only in this era that we know that some places are not necessarily more advanced in later generations.
