Chapter 56: Assassination of the King
Although the critics were only a minority, Qin Di was alert that pop songs would be suppressed decades later, and if he went too far on this road, he might get into trouble in the future.
However, he is not too afraid, because the cultivators have greater freedom, "there are beautiful women in the north, and they are independent and independent", which can transcend the times and cross national borders.
Qin Di felt that just singing a few songs could not determine a person's position. And at this time, many people don't know who sings these songs? Who are Xue Xiangwan and Guan Chunqiu?
Although people know that the record is released by EMI, they do not know the specific situation.
Qin Di bought this company at the beginning, and still hired the original personnel, and there were some foreigners working in it, so many people thought that the company had a foreign background, and Qin Dashao appeared in the Red Mansion, either to chase the drama, or to play tickets, and it was likely to be "happy" for two days, and soon disappeared.
In order to further maintain the mystery, Qin Di issued a gag order to the people in the company through the manager Zhou Tianlin, asking that the things of "Snow to the Evening" and "Guan Chunqiu" should not be discussed, evaluated, or explained, and they would not know anything anyway. Whoever dares to reveal the company's secrets, without saying a word, will be dismissed immediately!
Although there are rumors in the literary and art circles that "Words to the Evening" and "Night Shanghai" were made up by Qin Dashao, they have not been confirmed. Some people say that Xue Xiangwan is Yan Xue, but it is also limited to speculation, she has never sung in public! Not to mention singing, she rarely even speaks.
Yan Xue's birth is different from the "Seven Great Singers of the Republic of China". She belongs to the Song Immortals, her voice is otherworldly, she doesn't see people in the empty mountains, but she hears people's voices. Many people listen to her songs, and they have a feeling of looking up to the mountains.
The seven singers are not the same, they not only record records, but also participate in cabaret performances, or singing competitions, and even make a lot of movies.
A singer is equivalent to a showman, the audience not only enjoys the voice, but also sees a beautiful face and a beautiful figure, if you are like Yan Xue, you can't even see the figure, how can you become popular?
As a singer, unless someone covers him, he will be chased and intercepted; if he is an ordinary singer, he may be coerced to drink and chat with others; not to mention geisha and Qinglou women, such as the Oiran Contest held by Du Yuesheng, purely to increase his value.
By the end of 1927, the Qin family was also a wealthy family in the magic capital.
Although no one in the Qin family is a high-ranking official, there are two Nobel prize winners, the famous Cathay Pharmaceutical, the chain Qin's grain store, and the textile factory that employs thousands of workers.
The Qin family still has an unknown background, and because of the existence of Qin Di, the "master of the transformation realm", the three leaders of the Green Gang dare not provoke.
In addition, in addition to the Green Gang, the Demon Capital also has an Axe Gang.
Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Axe Gang, is different from Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, and has more revolutionary feelings than Du Yuesheng. In his early years, he supported Sun Yat-sen's ideas, supported the Xinhai Revolution and the Dharma Protection Movement, and also married Jin Lan with Dai Li and Hu Zongnan, and only became the "assassination king" in middle age.
Historically, Wang Yaqiao once planned an assassination attempt against Chiang Kai-shek in Lushan, but failed, and also assassinated Wang Jingwei, Tang Youren, and Shirakawa Yoshinori, the supreme commander of Japan's invasion of China.
Therefore, Taizu's evaluation of him is: "There is no crime in killing the enemy, there is merit in resisting Japan, there is no inspection in small sections, and no confusion in major matters." ”
The Axe Gang was actually the "Anhui Labor Death Squad", which was later transformed into an "iron-blooded hoe gang".
Wang Yaqiao and the Axe Gang rarely harassed the national capitalists in the Demon Capital, and had never patronized the Qin Mansion before.
However, on January 15, 1928, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the day of the New Year, Wang Yaqiao quietly came to Qin's mansion and secretly visited Qin Di's third uncle, Qin Hanxu, holding the business card of Fang Zhenwu, the commander of the National Army.
Qin Hanxu studied in Japan in his early years and participated in the Alliance, so he is quite familiar with Fang Zhenwu.
Wang Yaqiao came to see Qin Hanxu to raise funds to buy guns and explosives for the Axe Gang.
Qin Hanxu groaned: "I have limited funds in my hand, at most I will give you 10,000 oceans." If you want to do great things, you'd better meet my nephew. ”
Wang Yaqiao asked, "Which nephew are you talking about?"
"My second brother's only son, Qin Di. ”
"Okay, I wanted to meet Qin Dashao for a long time, and Mr. Trouble introduced me. ”
So, Qin Hanxu led him to see Qin Di.
Qin Di saw Wang Yaqiao for the first time, this person had short hair, a round face, but sharp edges, wearing gold-wire glasses, a coat with a fur collar, and was almost forty years old, but he looked very gentle, like a teacher, not like a professional killer at all.
Wang Yaqiao hugged his fists at Qin Di, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "I've seen Senior Master Qin." ”
Qin Di suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity! Mr. Wang, you're late!"
Wang Yaqiao was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: "Before I opened my mouth, he rejected me?"
Qin Di said: "Uncle, you go." I'll talk to Mr. Wang alone. ”
Qin Hanxu shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and went elsewhere.
Wang Yaqiao looked at Qin Di silently, wanting to hear what he said.
Qin Di looked at each other and said, "In the whole world, people with spiritual roots seem to be as rare. I've traveled from south to north, and I've met countless people, but you're the second! It's a pity that I'm too old and missed a good time to cultivate!"
Wang Yaqiao was confused when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Why can't I understand a word of what the eldest young master said?"
Qin Di asked, "Mr. Wang, have you ever practiced light exercises, and how fast are you running?"
Wang Yaqiao was taken aback: "This ...... When I was young, I ran faster than the average person......
"Have you also practiced your eyesight, how far can you see in the moonlight?"
"You can see it for two or three miles. ”
"This is a special qualification! It's a pity that I didn't meet a good master, so I wasted my time! Do you have any children?"
"I have two sons and two daughters. ”
Qin Di smiled and said, "How about letting me see you another day?"
Wang Yaqiao's heart suddenly became a little angry, and he said secretly: "How old are you? I am a killer, and I have to hide my son and daughter, how can I casually show outsiders?"
He just nodded his head indiscriminately: "It's easy to say", but he made up his mind not to see him.
Qin Di knew the other party's thoughts, and he just laughed it off.
Whether the master is looking for an apprentice, or the apprentice is looking for a master, we must pay attention to fate, if we meet it, if we don't touch it, forget it, don't force everything, otherwise the opportunity is poor, it is easy to cause disasters, and if you don't do it well, you will deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors.
So, Qin Di didn't say much, took out his pen and wrote a check.
Wang Yaqiao took it and took a look, and found that it was 300,000 oceans, and was taken aback: "Young Master Qin, you don't ask me, what are you doing with all this money?"
Qin Di smiled and shook his head: "You just need to have a clear conscience." ”
Wang Yaqiao was stunned again, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I am grateful." ”
