Chapter 280: Gao Hui
"Tony, I found someone imitating the James series!" On this day, Nicole held a book and said to Monet with a serious face.
"Isn't this normal, as far as I know, there have been no less than ten people imitating them over the years!" Monet replied disapprovingly.
Nicole quickly corrected: "No, this time is different from those imitators, how to say, I think he imitated the essence, and even if it weren't for seeing that this is the Chinese version, I would have to wonder if you wrote it yourself, or more accurately, the story outline you gave him!" ”
Monet took the book and only looked at the title, and his heart sank, because the title of the book was "Toys", and then looked at the introduction, especially the names of "Wesley" and "Bai Su" in it, and immediately understood that this was Wesley's "Toys"!
But this is not right, normally it must have been more than five years before Wesley fled to Xiangjiang because of cutting bridges and burning fires, and there are still more than ten years before now, why did he suddenly pop out of this book? And the author's name is also very strange, it's actually called "Gao Hui", I haven't heard him use this pen name!
Looking at Monet's complicated expression, Nicole asked, "Tony, is it very similar to the story you designed?" ”
Monet's heart is not just like ah, it is all from the story of Wesley, but this kind of thing is naturally inconvenient to say, so he asked: "Who is this author Gao Hui?" How long has it been since this book came out? ”
"It is said that this Gao Hui is the survivor of the Chinese version of the Titanic we talked about a few days ago, as for this book, according to Mrs. Smith, the story was first serialized in a tabloid of the Book of Horses, and later because of its popularity, it was published separately." Nicole explained.
"Survivors of the Peace Wheel? But didn't the Taiping Ferry go to the island, why did this guy run to Xiangjiang? If you look at it this way, this guy is very interesting! Monet muttered to himself.
Looking at Monet's strange expression, Nicole persuaded: "Tony, don't get me wrong, in fact, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a coincidence, because I've always felt that you are the most creative author over the years, so I was shocked to see an author who is on par with you in terms of creativity and has the same style!" ”
And Monet also explained: "Nicole, you also misunderstood me, I also think that this Mr. Gao Hui is really too similar to me, so I want to visit him in Xiangjiang!" ”
"What?! You're going to Xiangjiang just for this reason? Nicole asked, incredulous.
Monet said in his heart, this matter is not a trivial matter, it is very likely that he is the same as Arthur, he has the same experience as me, and he is worn to the sunken ship, but I am the Titanic, and he is a peace wheel!
So a week later, Monet took Safina to Xiangjiang, but he was not in a hurry to see this Gao Hui, but stayed there first and asked someone to inquire secretly.
Looking at the report sent back by the private detective, Safina said with some surprise: "This Mr. Gao is very interesting, his original plan was to go to the island, but he was rescued by an Australian warship in a shipwreck, and then he arrived in Xiangjiang by chance."
As a result, just a few days after arriving in Xiangjiang, he actually got in touch with the logistics officer of the British military camp and obtained the business of selling the backlog of Japanese tobacco and alcohol, but I don't understand, why there are so many Japanese tobacco and alcohol in the British military barracks? ”
"I guess it should be like this, wasn't Xiangjiang occupied by the Japanese before, and after the end of World War II, it was taken over by the British army, and because the Japanese surrendered in a hurry, a large amount of supplies were also left, and tobacco and alcohol were part of it.
At the same time, because the British army doesn't like the taste of sake and Japanese cigarettes, it can't be consumed normally like other materials, and as an army, it is inconvenient to do business openly, so it was exploited by this Gao Hui and got the right to sell as an agent, but I guess he should have something to do with this quartermaster, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth. Monet analyzed.
"Oh, I see, don't talk about them, even I can't get used to drinking sake!" Safina suddenly realized.
Then he said: "Then this Mr. Gao got acquainted with An Jia, who had taken refuge from the magic capital to Xiangjiang, through peddling this batch of tobacco and alcohol, and then An Jia met the person in charge of a local gang, and jointly published this "Yunhua Times", because he got the distribution rights of the Chinese version of "The Book of Horses", so "Yunhua Times" sold very well!" What does this Chinese version of the Book of Horses mean? ”
"Because at the beginning, the horse club in Xiangjiang was only played by the British, so the "Book of Horses" naturally only had an English version, and later after the Japanese occupation, in order to collect money, Chinese were allowed to also participate in betting on horses, and at this time there was no "Book of Horses", neither Chinese nor English. After that, although the British came back, since the Chinese gambling on horses has been popularized, it is not good and there is no need to stop it, but maybe everyone thinks that the "Horse Classic" can only be owned by the British, so no one applied for the Chinese distribution right before, and as a result, this Mr. Gao took advantage of the loophole, opened the joint through the quartermaster, and got this Chinese distribution right! Monet explained.
"No wonder this Mr. Gao can make a fortune, he really has vision and courage!" Safina approvingly, and then continued: "It is said that "Toys" was originally written by Mr. Gao in order to fill the page, otherwise it would be too monotonous if there was only "The Book of Horses" in a newspaper, but I didn't expect it to be very popular and was bought by the magazine for distribution and publication; The most amazing thing is that through this book, he actually gained a beautiful book lover, and this beautiful book lover is also a very rich rich lady, and even the two are going to get married, this, this, this movie don't dare to act like this! ”
Monet said casually: "That's because movies need logic, and reality doesn't need logic!" ”
Then he stood up and said, "Alright, it's time for us to visit this legendary Mr. Gao Hui!" ”
"Tony, to be honest, I never understand, why did you come all the way to visit this Mr. Gao? And I have to do so much preliminary research work before visiting, I have never seen you take anyone so seriously, but although this Mr. Gao is legendary, he is now just the owner of a small newspaper, not to mention you, even if it is Daniela, he has to take the initiative to visit, and he may not be able to meet him! Safina asked, puzzled.
PS: Even if today is the birthday of the God of Wealth, but this firecracker is too much, it has been put off all night, and the noise is dead, so that I dare not open the window......
