Chapter 52: The Last Splendor of Huhai

On Monday, April 17th, after breakfast, Li Junhao was about to go to work, but he looked back and saw Linda next to him, and patted his head, his current task is to protect and accompany this eldest lady, and he doesn't have to go to work!

"Hee-hee!" Seeing him put on his suit and take it off, and then sit back on the sofa, Linda instantly understood and couldn't help but laugh.

"Still laughing, it's because of you that I don't even have to go to work now!" Li Junhao said angrily.

"That's not right, you can accompany me to go shopping, see the scenery, and save yourself so tired from going to work." Linda said.

"Good! Wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you. Li Junhao said, "Well, Xiaoyu will also go with you and take a break!" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu said: "Brother Jun, I won't go, I have something to do today......

When Li Junhao heard this, he looked up at Xiaoyu and found that her expression was very serious, judging that there was really something wrong, so he said: "That's okay, you go and do your own business today, and we'll play together later." As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a stack of fiat currency and handed it over, "Xiaoyu, take it, use it when you need money!" ”

"Oh." For the money given by Brother Jun, Xiaoyu will not refuse, she has long regarded herself as his person.

After more than a day of getting along, Linda likes Xiaoyu very much, a Chinese girl, the other party is only one year older than herself, sincere and generous, cooking is delicious, and has the characteristics that American girls of the same age do not have. ”

In the past two days, Li Junhao and Xiaoyu have both discovered that there is a car that has been parked outside the gate, and there are two black men in the car - one before, after yesterday afternoon, and another one in the evening.

"No, Linda, I'm not going to dangerous places." Xiaoyu refused, and took a black bodyguard to Phoenix Village, what are you kidding?

Although Xiaoyu said so, when he went out, Li Junhao still asked Linda to call two black-clothed bodyguards over and arranged for one of them to drive Xiaoyu to travel, seeing that Xiaoyu was still a little reluctant, he said: "Xiaoyu, I know you want to go back to Phoenix Village, let him send you can save a lot of trouble, listen to me!" ”

Xiaoyu nodded obediently, knowing that Brother Jun was right, since the Japanese army occupied Huhai, it was still very dangerous for a single woman to go out, there were cars and foreigners, and she was not afraid of encountering the Japanese puppet army for inspection.

-----------------

At nine o'clock, the three of them went out separately, one bodyguard drove Li Junhao's car to send the two to go shopping, and the other sent Xiaoyu to Phoenix Village. For the two bodyguards, although one of them was separated to do something that seemed unrelated, the other bodyguard was able to follow the young lady's side, and there was no need to wait outside the house like before, which could be regarded as an improvement in treatment.

After getting into the car, Linda introduced to Li Junhao that these two bodyguards are both escort fighters trained by the family since childhood, and their last two generations have served the family, not only have strong combat power, but also have absolutely no problem in loyalty.

Li Junhao secretly said in his heart, no matter how he evaluates the quality of these big conglomerates, but at this point he must admit that compared with the nouveau riche who have made their fortunes in the past ten or twenty years, a big capital family like Rockefeller, which has started from more than 70 years, still has a foundation. Although at the cultural level, the Rockefeller family is far inferior to China's thousand-year-old family, but in terms of money, it has been stained with the light of a capital power and has enough strength and power.

He was wondering if he also had to train some loyal subordinates. In this era, it is more appropriate to the old saying, "three gangs of one hero"! He kept it in his heart.

-----------------

On the other hand, in the US Consulate General, nearly 100 cars also came out one after another, and the members of the business and trade delegation, accompanied by the staff of the consulate and escorted by marines, went to various places in Shanghai and the Strait to visit and inspect them.

For the representatives of the American business community, even the arrogant Japanese invaders did not dare to slack off - without American scrap steel, oil, rubber, machine tools, electronics, chemicals and other products, they would simply not be able to support the war!

Therefore, after learning of the arrival of the US trade delegation in Shanghai, the Japanese Consulate General, the Headquarters of the 13th Army under the Chinese Dispatch Army, the Military Police Command in Shanghai, the Special Marine Corps, and various organs stationed in Shanghai strictly ordered their subordinates to pay attention to the movements of the US delegation and never allow anyone to undermine Japan-US diplomatic relations.

The Shanghai office of Wang's puppet government, the Huhai City Government, the police department, the secret service headquarters, and other institutions also received clear orders from their Japanese masters to ensure that the Americans did not have problems on their territory. The police station and the secret service headquarters even directly ordered their subordinates: Whenever a Westerner appears, he must pay attention to his attitude, and while ensuring the safety of foreigners, he must also maintain the "good image" of the Japanese army and Wang's puppet government!

Although all of them do not know what the US delegation is doing, since it is a matter of commerce and trade, there will certainly be business opportunities, and I don't know how many people are thinking of getting in touch with the US representatives to obtain business opportunities.

Because the U.S. Consulate General did not have enough luxury cars, the consulates of Britain, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries supported a large number of cars, and many foreign banks and merchants from various countries also took the initiative to sponsor them, which fully ensured the delegation's travel and security work......

Thanks to the current environment of Shanghai and Haihai, Li Junhao and Linda's journey is very smooth, starting from the Bund on the bank of the Huangpu River, along the main road of the public concession and the French concession of the French Concession, until the Jing'an Temple, the length is about ten miles, that is, commonly known as the ten miles of foreign fields, high-rise buildings, shopping malls, foreign stores, theaters and theaters are lined up, so that Linda from the United States is amazed.

Linda was also amazed to find out that she could buy the latest luxury items from the United States and Europe! You know, whether it is from the United States or Europe, at this time, when goods are produced to China, they have to cross the ocean by boat, and the time is less than 20 days, and more than a month and a half, and according to her cognition, the styles of these luxury goods are at most a month worse than those in the United States, you can think of what kind of efficiency this is!

Li Junhao knew that now was the last glory of Huhai, and all this would change as the war progressed.
