In the past six months, some things have happened in China that are worth mentioning.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of one day in early July, the west building of Beiping Private Huiwen Middle School accidentally caught fire, and teachers and students immediately called the fire brigade. As soon as the fire brigade entered the school gate, they demanded 30 gold bars, but when they refused, they allowed the fire to spread. Later, he said to a teacher who was fighting the fire, if you had decided earlier, the fire would not be a problem, and the fire would have been extinguished at about 10 o'clock in the evening. However, the four-storey building with 160 houses has been reduced to ashes.

What does this mean? It shows the degree of corruption in various departments under the management of the Qingbai Party, and even the firefighters are willing to ask for gold bars to put out the fire, which can be said to be rotten to the roots!

In late August, US presidential envoy Weidemeyer was invited to address important figures in the Blue and White Party, severely criticizing the government's military incompetence and the widespread corruption and inefficiency of officials at all levels.

Mr. Qing protested against Weidemeyer's statement as an allusion to his inability to lead the Chinese government.

In September, the Qingbai government appointed Soong Ziwen as chairman of the Guangdong provincial government. However, more than 20 members of the Supervisory Committee objected and recommended that their assets be expropriated to fill the state treasury.

In November, the "National Congress" election scandal broke out one after another. In a show of democracy, the government demanded that the 427 elected representatives of the Blue and White Party relinquish their qualifications and distribute them to Al-Shabaab, the Democratic Socialist Party and the "social elites". This new provision has caused an uproar in an election campaign that is full of fraud and wrongdoing.

In December, prices in the Kuomintang were like wild horses on the loose, and within a year, prices soared six times. The most fierce rise was in the price of rice, which has reached 1.1 million yuan per quintal, an increase of 19 times from 60,000 yuan at the beginning of the year.

On the front-line battlefield, Liu Deng's army leapt thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, like a nail pierced into the enemy's heart, and the Northeast Field Army launched a winter offensive to crush the enemy in the three isolated areas of Changchun, Shenyang, and Jinzhou.

At this point, some discerning people have seen that the government of the Republic of China is getting bleaker and bleaker, and the prospects are already very bad.

However, there are very few rich people who really want to flee these years, because the war has been going on for too many years, from the warlord melee to the War of Resistance Against Japan, which has lasted for 20 years! Most Chinese do not like to leave their homeland, so they would rather stay at home than die.

Qin Di's father, Qin Hancheng, is one of the representatives, if it weren't for helplessness, he wouldn't want to leave!

Zhu Wan read some enlightened books, and faintly hoped that the day when the country was liberated, she would at least see her daughter Qin Yue.

As a doctor, she saved countless people in her life, and saw that the people were living in dire straits, and the bureaucrats at all levels were very corrupt, and she was also a little dissatisfied with the national government.

As the richest man in the Republic of China, although he has industries in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, the United States, and Japan, he is considered a cunning rabbit, but he will not stay abroad all the year round, and he will still live in seclusion at home most of the time, because there is a cave world suitable for cultivation in China.

He wants to stay in China all the time, but he has several "original sins", such as huge wealth, funding the Innocent Party, Lieutenant General of the National Army, Glamorous Voice, collusion with the Green Gang, overseas relations, private radio station, unknown whereabouts, etc., each of which is not a trivial matter, so he has to live in seclusion.

China in the future will be a melting pot, and all the broken copper and iron will be melted, even if there is a little gold! This is a necessary process to integrate the people's hearts, although it is a bit intense, but if it is not so, it will not be possible to break the old tradition, so Qin Di does not want to use his mantis arm as a car, it is better to hide aside.

On New Year's Day 1948, Qin Hancheng returned to the magic capital from Japan.

Dozens of people from the Qin family rarely got together and chartered the "Lao Banzhai" Shanghai restaurant, the main table was located in the innermost box, sitting Qin Hanliang, Qin Hancheng, Qin Hanxu, Qin Di, Qin Mu, Qin Jian, and Qin Bo.

These people have their own situations and thoughts, and after three rounds of drinking, they began to talk about it.

"The war is endless, when will it end?"

"Prices are skyrocketing, and the people below can't live!"

"I listen to the radio every day, and one moment I say that the national army has won, and the other time I say that the Red army has won, and the more I listen, the more confused I become, who has the upper hand?"

"Student marches, class strikes, what do you say against hunger, against dictatorship...... Anyway, I think that the demon capital is getting more and more chaotic, and it is better than before the Anti-Japanese War!"

Qin Di just drank and ate, listening quietly, but didn't say a word.

Everyone else looked at him with eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Qin Jian sat up straight, looked at Qin Hancheng, and said, "Recently, there has been a grain shortage again, and the price of grain has soared, but my flour mill has stopped! Second uncle, I want to ask, are you still doing the business of the grain store?"

Qin Hancheng replied: "Why don't you do it? Last year, we imported 800,000 tons of grain!"

Qin Bo said: "It's too little! This bit of food is not enough to stuff your teeth! It was quickly bought up!"

Qin Han admitted: "You have to ask Ah Di about this." I'm too old to manage that much. ”

"Second uncle, you don't look old at all!"

"I'm 70 years old, why am I not old?"

"Look at my dad, that's really old!"

Qin Di glanced at his uncle, and found that his hair was all white, and his face was a little withered, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Why do you get old so fast?" Didn't I ask Yan Xue to send over two ginsengs?"

Qin Mu said: "One of them was taken by my father to give away! The other one was cut open, and everyone divided a small piece. ”

"Hmph, for whom?"

"Mayor Wu Guozhen. ”

"What do you give him for? How long can the grasshopper after autumn jump?"

"This ......"

At this time, Qin Hanliang smiled, touched his thin cheeks, and said, "I'm 75 years old, and I can still walk, which is already good." Ah Di, I know you have some doorways, can you help me see how many years you can live?"

Qin Di looked at him fixedly and said, "Five years at the least, seven years at the most." ”

Qin Hanliang laughed and said, "Can you live to be 80 years old? Enough!

The three brothers of Qin Mu didn't say anything, but Qin Hancheng and Qin Hanxu were a little sad.

Qin Hancheng asked: "Ah Di, is there a way to let your uncle live for a few more years?"

Qin Di shook his head and said in his heart: "Why do you live for so long? Another 7 years is just right." He said: "Uncle worked too hard in his early years, and he lost his longevity, and if he wants to make up for it, it's too late." ”

Qin Hanxu sighed, his eyes looked at Qin Mu and the three of them, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. Because he ate the ginseng provided by Qin Di, his body has improved significantly in the past two years, according to his personal experience, eating a ginseng plant, he can be at least three years younger! That is to say, if the eldest brother eats two ginseng, it is possible to prolong his life for six or seven years! However, such a good thing was missed by them!

Next, everyone drank tastelessly.

After a long while, Qin Hanliang suddenly asked, "Ah Di, are you selling real estate?" A few days ago, I heard that even the piece of land in Paramount had been sold to someone else?"

Qin Di said lightly: "Yes, while the house prices are soaring now, I want to empty them all and not do real estate in the future." ”

Qin Bo said with a smile: "In my opinion, the housing prices in the magic capital will soar all the way! There is no end at all!"

Qin Jian also said: "Yes, in the past few decades, when will housing prices stop rising? As the largest city in the Far East, the development of the magic capital will be prosperous in the future!"

Qin Di was silent, thinking: "I sold the house, not to recover the principal, but to reduce the guilt." One more property, one more original sin, you know?"

Because they had had conflicts with each other before, he was reluctant to say more, lest he leak the news again and be published in the newspaper.

In the past two years, since Mr. Qing helped him establish a positive image, he has appeared less and less in the newspapers.

The media likes to hunt for curiosity the most, and if it is unremarkable, there will be no news.

Qin Hanliang asked: "Ah Di, how have you become honest recently? After selling your property and leaving a large amount of cash, what industry are you going to invest in?"

Qin Di shrugged: "Uncle, I'm also 48 years old! I'm old, I don't want to do it! I'm going to find a place to live in seclusion." ”

Qin Hanliang said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, you still look like you are in your twenties, where is there a little old?

Qin Mu also said: "Yes, I am ten years older than you, and I am still busy every day. ”

Qin Bo said with a smile: "I think Adi makes too much money, so I don't have the motivation to improve." ”

Qin Jian said: "I heard Yuanlong say, you are going to close down the gold cave in Phoenix? That is the most profitable business, how can you close it? Yuanlong also said, you have built a casino in Macau, which is bigger than Phoenix, so what's going on?"

Qin Hanliang was a little surprised: "There is such a thing? In this way, Ah Di sold the real estate in the magic capital to prepare to transfer the funds to Macau? Macau is located in the middle of nowhere, how can it be compared with a metropolis like the magic capital?"

Qin Di said: "Uncle, the casino in Macau is in charge of Boss Du, and I only paid a small amount of money, which is not a transfer of assets." ”

Qin Hanliang said: "That's right, to build a casino in Macau, the land price is cheap, and it shouldn't cost much." ”

Qin Mu asked: "Ah Di, I have a spare amount of money in my hand, you give me an idea, what is better to buy **?"

Qin Di said: "Big brother, I don't read books, I don't read newspapers, and I don't listen to the radio now. If you ask me, I don't know. ”

These things don't need to be said explicitly.

As the saying goes, the buildings near the water get the moon first, and the flowers and trees are easy to spring.

Look at Zhang Naijing, because he keeps up closely, he will do whatever Qin Di does, so his assets are thriving.

Qin Di didn't want to tell the truth to his three cousins, he just had to carry his two nephews quietly. Qin Yuankong is the son of Qin Mu, Qin Yuanlong is the son of Qin Jian, as long as these two young people are free, the industries under the names of Qin Mu and Qin Jian can be abandoned. This can also be regarded as a means of shedding the shell of the golden cicada.
