Chapter Eighty-Three: Returning Home (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendations)
These are not information that needs to be kept strictly confidential, especially the experience of working in the garrison command, and he has to deliberately point it out, he knows that his parents can distinguish the priority. Doing spy things, his parents even hide it from his eldest brother and sister.
Besides, a famous painting of Zheng Banqiao is worth a lot of money, and it can't be taken away casually without explaining the purpose, and his car also has to explain its origin, so as not to think too much about it.
"Xuan Tiewu, I know that he used to be President Jiang's chief of guard, and his status in Zhejiang Province is very high, and he is a general with a very background, and he can accept your painting, which shows that he still values you very much. You are a small lieutenant, and being able to have this kind of interaction with him will be of great help to your future career in the army. ”
"The second department of the Investigation and Control Bureau where you are located, although the power is very great, but the work is very dangerous, since you and Xuan Tiewu are on the line, then try to find a way to get yourself out of the secret service as much as possible, Uncle Ling Lu asked me about your job, I can only say that you went to the Hangzhou City Police Station for an internship, and I am embarrassed to say that you are a spy, such a profession has a bad reputation."
"Manyin is going to graduate from National Central University next year, the two of you are childhood sweethearts, she is also publicly admitted to being the daughter-in-law of our Han family at school, therefore, the marriage should also be put on the agenda, and you will get engaged when she graduates, this is what your Uncle Lu meant."
"As the old saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest, your eldest brother has no children in the past few years of marriage, it is not a question whether our Han family's family business is inherited, but the Han family can't be wiped out, and I have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors after I die, and now I can only rely on you." Han Jingshan said.
Cut and dried!
On the topic of marriage and having children, father and son must talk about it every time they meet. For Han Jingshan, neither of his two sons is willing to inherit the family business, but this is not the point, holding grandchildren is crucial.
He was born in the Guangxu period, and received a traditional education, and in the traditional concept he formed, no successor is a big problem, and his grandson is the continuation of the Han family's bloodline, which is more important than anything else.
Lu Manyin, the daughter of the Lu family in Shanghai, the Lu family and the Han family are close friends, Han Jingshan and Lu Ruinan also worshipped the handle, although Han Lin and Lu Manyin are a few years apart, they can be regarded as a pair from childhood to adulthood.
The Han family also has a residence in Shanghai, and the two families have been in close contact with each other, and they have long made a marriage contract for the two. The words of the matchmaker of the parents' order are still very popular at this time.
Lu Manyin studied in high school and university in Jinling, and often went to Han's house to live, Han Lin's sister Han Yuxin was admitted to National Central University, and she was very protective of this future sister-in-law, Lu Manyin also publicly admitted that Han Yuxin was her sister-in-law, and she did not deny this family business because of the suitors in Central University.
Han Lin's identity Han Jingshan knows very well that there are so many relationships between the military and political circles of the Jinling government, and when he was selected by the Second Division of the Investigation and Control Bureau, he inquired about the nature of this department, but he didn't expect his son to be a spy!
For parents, the work of a spy is dangerous and easy to offend people, and he is really unwilling to let Han Lin stay in the second place.
"I returned to Jinling this time, and I was selected by the security team of the president's official residence, and the relationship is no longer in the second department, transferred to the military police headquarters, and served as the chief of the military police section of the police department, and the military rank was also promoted to army major, you can tell Uncle Lu that I work in the military police headquarters." Han Lin said.
In the past, Han Lin was very impressed by Lu Manyin, and the relationship between the two was quite good, and Han Lin did not plan to refuse this family affair after crossing over, because this Lu Manyin was a smart and beautiful girl, knowledgeable and well-educated, and a fair lady and gentleman, maybe the two of them could still spark.
"Great, I've been worried about your work, this is the happiest thing for me, go home for dinner on Saturday night, I will let Yuxin and Manyin come back too, I will call your Uncle Lu later, although the reputation of the gendarme is not very good, but you can be a guard in the president's mansion, and you can also be a section chief in the gendarmerie headquarters, which is much better than being a spy." Han Jingshan said with a happy smile.
The gendarmes are military police, and they sound much more pleasant and easy to be accepted than the spies of the Coordination and Control Bureau, and the gendarmes also have great powers, and they are specially responsible for military discipline and military law, and not many people dare to provoke them.
"Dad, I want to use a sum of money from the family." Han Lin said.
"To get in touch with the Gendarmerie Command?" Han Jingshan was not surprised.
Han Lin had just arrived at the Gendarmerie Headquarters, and he always had to get along well with his bosses and colleagues in the new department, and he agreed with this kind of money that must be invested.
"No, I want to open two franchise stores in Gulou District and Qinhuai District, which will deliver goods from trading companies in Shanghai, specializing in foreign goods, women's leather bags, cosmetics, perfumes, dresses, jewelry, gold jewelry, intimate clothing, bath powder, toothpaste and toothbrushes, etc., men's ties, tie clips, cigars, lighters, foreign wine, etc., as well as men's and women's watches and pocket watches, coffee and utensils." Han Lin said.
"A store specializing in imported goods? Most of the local customers in Jinling are spending in the Shanghai Concession area, do you want to make a time difference and make some profits from daily retail? This is a sure-fire deal, big money can't be made, small money is still okay, how many profit points do you plan to make? Han Jingshan asked.
He also felt that Han Lin's idea could be operated, and as soon as his son said it, he understood the doorway. It is just to take advantage of the opportunity of Jinling's customers to buy things in Shanghai every day and make a little money.
"Compared with the price of imported goods in the concession area is 20 percent higher, we have ocean freight, and we also save four hours of travel for local customers, and they can buy the latest products at any time, and the quality is exactly the same as the goods of the concession foreign company, which is not high." Han Lin said.
"Why do people come to your store to buy foreign goods? You yourself said that you can go from Jinling to Shanghai in four hours, the public concession and the French concession are the most prosperous areas in China, and the atmosphere of consumption is different. Han Jingshan asked.
"The essence of the so-called imported goods is nothing more than that in modern times we have been influenced by the West, and foreign things are either good or expensive, satisfying vanity. In fact, for these broad ladies and ladies, it is more of a status symbol, and the price of things is secondary. ”
"I plan to work the decoration and service of the store, and the store will be designed by Western designers in the concession area, and according to the style of the Western palace, it will be beautiful and magnificent, so that people will have a noble and elegant feeling when they see it, and those who are not rich are ashamed to set foot in it."
"Then find a Western etiquette to train a group of high-quality beautiful waitresses for the store, and even recruit a few foreign girls and white Russian girls in the concession to support the façade, such an environment and atmosphere, do not worry that these customers will not come to the store, but the initial investment is a bit high." Han Lin said.
