In this context, Qin Di lived in seclusion in the magic capital, cultivating quietly, and supervising his companies by the way.

He snatched a lot of treasures from Tang Yulin, but those treasures could not see the light, gold and silver were worth 70 million oceans, and some of them were allocated by him to his subordinate companies, such as collecting shares of "Mingzhou Home Textiles", and increasing the shares controlled to 75%.

In addition, he founded a watch company.

The watch company has a high technical content, and it is impossible to manufacture clocks and watches with the strength of Qin Di and China alone.

Historically, it was not until 1940 that there was only one timepiece factory in China, and only after the liberation of the watch factory.

But abroad, the technology of watch manufacturing is already very advanced.

The watch industry in the United States was once very developed, and it was not until a few years later that it was surpassed by the Swiss watch industry.

According to Qin Di's request, John looked for a bankrupt watch factory in the United States, and found a company called "Hampden watch company", and then bought it for $3 million.

It stands to reason that a bankrupt factory is worth so much money? The reason is that this watch factory still has a large number of parts and components.

Old John packed the equipment and parts from the factory, along with some skilled workers, and sent them to the magic capital.

Because the Great Depression in the United States is still very serious, many people are unemployed and cannot find jobs, and the magic capital is the largest city in the Far East, so many Americans are willing to come to the magic capital and try a different life.

As a result, Qin Di established a company called "Wanguo Watch Factory", specializing in the production of "Wanguo" watches and pocket watches.

In those days, watches and pocket watches were in high demand, and the generals had to check their watches before the decisive battle in the movie, and those pocket watches were all foreign.

On this day, Zhang Naijing took his wife and children back to Qinfu.

He looked at Qin Di with envious eyes and said, "Tut, your vision is really good, your luck is good, it is very admirable to be able to seize such an opportunity! I even think that the watch industry is stronger than automobiles!"

Qin Di said: "Each has its own strengths. China currently lacks purchasing power, so cars cannot be widely used. Watches, bicycles are not affordable for everyone. ”

Zhang Naijing said: "Think about it, how many people in China, if each person has a watch and a bicycle, how much can you earn?"

"Hmph, I'm contributing to the country! Why do you want so much money?"

"Cut, you are such a greedy person, and you still want to fool me? I can be regarded as seeing through your essence! I can't afford to be profitable, and I am talking about people like you!"

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want. ”

"I heard that someone made a list of the rich families of the Republic of China and ranked the Qin family in fourth place!"

"Is it? Who made this list, putting my Qin family on the pig killing list?"

Zhang Naijing said with a smile: "This was dictated by Tang Jishan, and it was published in the tabloids. He said that the top ten richest people in the Republic of China, the first is the Song family, the second is the Kong family, the third is the Jiang family, the fourth is the Qin family, and the fifth is the Chen family...... My Zhang family is also on the list, ranking seventh...... Originally, Zhang Xueshan ranked second, but his house was robbed and became poor haha......"

Qin Di frowned slightly: "Tang Jishan, this person is so immortal, how dare he mention my Qin family?"

Zhang Naijing said: "Tang Jishan's father, named Tang Qiaoqing, is a comprador in the tea business. In order to break the monopoly of Jardine Matheson, Tang Jishan was a British student studying the tea market in Britain and the United States since 1914 and found that there were huge profits.

In 1916, he raised 100,000 yuan to set up a "Chinese Tea Company", and entered the American market with small packages of "Temple of Heaven brand" and "Beauty brand" tea, and sold them in department stores opened by overseas Chinese.

In 1925, an anti-British trend was launched in various parts of China, because the dock workers resisted not loading tea for foreign companies, the Chinese tea company took the opportunity to rise, and with the advantage of high quality and low price, it obtained the exclusive business order of the American Carter Company, exporting 60,000 boxes (1,900 tons) per year, accounting for 18% of the total export of tea in the magic capital at that time, and the Jardine Matheson, Concord, Jinlong and other foreign companies became a strong trend.

Since then, Huacha has become the largest tea export company in the mainland, and Tang Jishan has also been called the 'tea king'.

I heard that he recently abandoned the movie star Zhang Zhiyun and got very close to Ruan Lingyu. ”

Qin Di frowned and didn't speak.

Tang Jishan is a master of playing with actresses, before Ruan Lingyu, she had a relationship with actress Zhang Zhiyun, and was later ruthlessly abandoned by him. After Ruan Lingyu, he lived with movie star Liang Saizhen, and then remarried the right family of the great beauty queen of the Republic of China.

Except for Liang Saizhen, who saw through his face and resolutely left, the fate of the other three women was very bleak: Zhang Zhiyun lived on the streets of Hong Kong and became a dusty woman, Ruan Lingyu committed suicide, and Wang You's family died of poverty and illness, and there was no funeral money.

In the 60s, his business in Taiwan went bankrupt and he became a street vendor, selling tea bags along the street every day in order to make a living.

Qin Di didn't want to care about this kind of thing, he didn't even interfere in Xu Zhimo's death, how could he interfere in the affairs of Zhang Zhiyun and Ruan Lingyu?

Zhang Zhiyun is the queen of the movie in 1926, originally in love with the famous director Bu Wancang, since she ascended the throne of the actress, she frequently went in and out of social places, experienced the flashy and extravagant foreign life, and after meeting Tang Jishan, she broke up with Bu Wancang.

At this time, Tang Jishan, who was a married man, also wanted to take advantage of her fame as a movie queen, so she lived with her, took her to Europe, and went to Hollywood, the United States, and launched a propaganda offensive, with the call of "Chinese Tea Emperor" and "Chinese Tea Queen", advertising was placed everywhere, and Zhang Zhiyun was the spokesperson of the Chinese business company, which caused a sensation for a while.

Zhang Zhiyun naively thought that she could become a businesswoman from now on, wash her hands and make soup, but she didn't expect that she was not recognized in the United States because of her low level of education, and after leaving the film industry, her reputation in the mainland was getting worse day by day, Tang Jishan began to dislike her, and soon began to look for other beauty.

In 1932, the "128" incident, the Japanese army invaded Zhabei Huajie, the warehouse of the Chinese tea company was bombed, and the business of Chinese tea in the United States gradually shrank at this time.

At this time, the popular actress Ruan Lingyu also stayed in Hong Kong for a period of time to avoid the war, and after Tang Ruan and the two met at a dance, Tang Jishan never forgot Ruan Lingyu, and used all her strength to pursue Ruan Lingyu, and often invited her to dance in the hotel.

Ruan Lingyu is the most influential actress of the Republic of China, and her death is even more sensational than Weng Meiling in later generations, so when it comes to this era, I can't help but talk about this person.
