Chapter 393: Negotiation of Relocation
The Lu family has many industries in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places, which is the hard work of Lu Ruinan and his father for two generations, and it is psychologically difficult to accept that they suddenly want to sell them and leave China to live in a foreign country.
But Han Lin is the son-in-law of the Lu family, and he will never harm the Lu family, and as an officer of the Jinling government, he must have his own news channels, and the Han family will also be relocated.
The current situation is quite stable, the sale of the Lu family's industry can definitely make a lot of money, if you don't listen to this advice, once the war comes, the war will be ruthless.
"The outbreak of war between China and Japan is indeed possible, and I have often been in contact with people in the consulate and have heard such statements. It's just Han Lin, why haven't you talked to your father about this? Han Li asked in surprise.
The US Government considers its vital interests and pays close attention to the development of Sino-Japanese relations, and if we want to say that the war between the two countries has actually started a long time ago, otherwise how could the three eastern provinces have been occupied by Japan?
The Japanese are pressing forward step by step, and the Jinling government is constantly making concessions, and in such a situation, the ambitions of the Japanese will be even more inflated, and the possibility of a full-scale war will be very high.
"The business of the Han family and the Lu family is different, the Han family is a salt merchant, the important thing is the relationship and downstream channels, it is nothing more than some fixed industries such as real estate, shops and warehouses that cannot be taken away, and the war will not break out in the short term, with me, the Han family has time to deal with their own industry, and they can make an extra year or two of money."
"With the protection of the public concession and the French concession area, there will be no danger in the short term, if you can't make up your mind, transfer the assets to the concession area as much as possible, but it must not be lower than the end of next year, you have to be prepared, otherwise it will be too late."
"Japan does not dare to completely turn its face with Western countries at this time, their war resources need to rely on imports from Britain and the United States, and the concession is safe for the time being, but I don't know if the war will be beyond judgment, and early preparation is better than anything else." Han Lin said.
It also has to be taken into account that the Lu family refuses to give up their family business, the concession area is the last hope, and when the war breaks out, the Lu family has to leave if they don't leave, he believes that his father-in-law, since he is a successful businessman, has the courage to break his wrist.
"If you didn't go abroad to escape the war, where would you suggest you relocate?" Lu Teng asked.
"If you don't move away, you will get remote areas, such as Sichuan Province and Yunnan-Guizhou Province in the southwest, or Chang'an and other places in Shaanxi Province with the Yellow River moat, but this result is to face the bombing of Japanese planes at any time, and the war years are chaotic, and public security is also very problematic."
"It's better not to think about anything else, it's important to be alive, we're just temporarily hiding from the war, not not not coming back. China has a large land and a large population, and I firmly believe that the final victorious side of this war will be us, China, as long as we wait patiently for a few years. Han Lin said.
"Listen to you, are you going to come with us?" Han Li asked.
"You and your sister-in-law arranged for your parents and little sister to go to the United States, and then the people of the Lu family, the United States is the safest country in the world, even if it is a world war, the flames of war cannot burn the United States."
"Actually, you have to deal with this matter next year, Lu Teng and Lu Yue had better follow you to the United States to prepare in advance, anyway, for the two of us, the cost of buying a house and living does not need to be considered, but it is a little unsuitable for a short period of time."
"I am a soldier, and it is my mission to protect my family and defend the country, if the whole family runs abroad, won't we be ridiculed by the Han family? I won't go abroad, and Manyin will stay in China with me, I can't let people poke the backbone of our two families, how will I face my parents and fellow villagers when I come back in the future? ”
"Besides, I am the deputy chief of police of the gendarmerie headquarters, or the head of the guard of the official residence, I am not going to the front line to charge, I must follow the central institutions and leaders of the government, there is not much danger in myself, you don't have to worry about my safety, I can take care of Manyin." Han Lin clearly told his eldest brother.
Since he wants to stay, then Lu Manyin must also stay, it is impossible that he is in China, but Lu Manyin followed him to the United States. The husband and wife share life and death together, there is no excuse at all, for Han Lin's decision, the Lu family can't object even if they are worried about their daughter.
More importantly, what Han Lin said was not wrong, he was not an officer of the combat unit and needed to fight for his life with the Japanese army, but an officer of the military police headquarters, or the head of the guard team of the Jiang Commission, if such a job was still dangerous, the Lu family himself would not believe it.
"Han Lin, both of us have some things that we can't take away, furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., you have to think about this problem." Lu Ruinan thought for a while and said.
These wealthy merchants' families have their own hobbies of collecting, whether it is vassal elegance or waiting for appreciation, it is estimated that the furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings and utensils of the Ming and Qing dynasties, there must be a lot of them, and some antiques can even be said to be national treasures.
It was very troublesome to transport these things, and the point was that it was not suitable to take them abroad, and they could not fall into the hands of the Japanese, which was a problem for him.
"You don't have to worry, I have made preparations in advance, at the end of the year, someone will go to the mountain city to build a new house, the ship can go directly, and the things that can't be taken away will be transported to the mountain city for temporary storage, you only bring daily necessities, clothes and dollars, and I will handle the rest." Han Lin said.
His office will also be relocated, and all the families of his subordinates will be given a life in the mountain city, and as the leader, he must have his own secret residence in the mountain city, and it is easy to store these things, just build two more warehouses.
"Han Lin, these inferences of yours are just the analysis and consideration of the current Jinling government, it is difficult to say whether it can become a reality, the two families moved to the United States with their families, this is not a trivial matter, wait for the situation to change." Han Li said.
He doesn't care, he once studied in the United States, can adapt to local life, and has his own real estate in the United States, and his father-in-law's family is an overseas Chinese.
But Han's father and Han's mother are definitely not willing to give up this family business that they have accumulated all their lives, and they have crossed the ocean to live in the United States, and how to convince the second elder is a big obstacle.
"I didn't say that we have to start moving now, and that we will be ready by the end of next year at the latest, and if the situation improves, I'll let you know."
"In fact, you don't have to worry about the housing, even if it was occupied at the time, it can be taken back sooner or later after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. And the factories and shops built by the Lu family in areas outside the concession will inevitably be affected by the war, and it is better to sell them as soon as possible than to be damaged in the war. ”
"As for the current situation in our two countries, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is only one last step left before the outbreak of war, and it is useless to have illusions. The Japanese invaders are ready for war and will go to war at any time, and no one knows the exact time, but what if the war breaks out earlier than expected? Han Lin said.
