Chapter 65: Ten Mile Ocean Field in Shanghai
1,200 kilometres away from the capital is a cosmopolitan metropolis that many people call the city 'the city that never sleeps'.
In this city, many celebrities from the business community are active, and those people live a drunken life from morning to night, which is the so-called upper class.
The middle and lower classes of society are still composed of those working people, and it is they who have made Shanghai the largest industrial city in Asia in this era
In the early morning of this day, the sun had just broken through the clouds and shone golden light from the sky.
In a certain luxurious villa area, there are one bungalow after another, and in one of the bungalows, the sound of a piano suddenly sounds.
But I saw that one by one, the notes sounded from a white tripod piano, and the person sitting in front of the piano to play was a young girl.
The beautiful music and the people in front of the piano instantly form a beautiful picture.
But the notes beating on the fingertips, there are occasionally a little flaws, and it seems that the girl's playing is not so professional, just a beginner's stage.
And this song, called 'Dream Wedding', is quite difficult, but the girl is playing it, but the corners of her mouth are always smiling.
"Little Tiger, it should be almost there. β
Thinking of Chen Longting, Hu Yuyao's pretty face couldn't help but appear a touch of redness, and while playing, his eyes were looking out the window, as if he wanted to see through.
"My one will definitely be like Zhao Zilong, wearing a white robe. Ride a white horse and come and pick me up!"
Childhood fairy tales. Hu Yuyao still remembers vividly, she has been looking forward to this day. It is estimated that it will not be long before this wish will be realized.
However, now she doesn't know that Chen Longting doesn't have a white robe, but there is a horse, but it is not a white horse, but a black horse!
Dare to ask if the dark horse is okay?
Depart from the capital and change trains on the way. It only took two days for Chen Longting and his entourage to come to Shanghai.
At this time, Chen Longting and Liu Congyun had already stepped out of the carriage, looked at the bustling streets, and kept exclaiming.
But I saw that on both sides of the street, there were one foreign building after another. There are many shops, trading houses, companies, and so on.
There is also an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, foreign cars, rickshaws, and bicycles. The end is overwhelming.
Not far away, a vehicle, which resembles a bus, is running along the tracks. Walking slowly, it was full of passengers.
This kind of busy scene. Chen Longting and Liu Congyun saw it for the first time.
At this time, Liu Congyun's eyes shone brightly. Extremely excited, he said:
"Young master, this place is good! If there is a chance in the future, we must develop here!"
Hearing Liu Banxian's words, Chen Longting couldn't help but smile and nodded, secretly saying that this guy is in the next generation, but he is famous in the world, and his flickering skills are sought after by celebrities in Shanghai.
Don't underestimate Liu Banxian, this girl's ability to make money can't be compared to ten Chen Longting, you must know that in this year, most of the rich people are superstitious.
However, Chen Longting forgot another point, Liu Congyun in this life is very different from the god stick in history.
This study abroad trip may be an experience for Chen Longting, but for Liu Banxian, why not another experience?
A few years later, I'm afraid Chen Longting didn't expect that Liu Banxian would go to such an extent, but no matter what, by Chen Longting's side, no matter how powerful a person is, he will only serve as a foil.
At this time, the two of them were getting out of the car and walking, constantly looking at the strange, but let Yoshikawa Hideaki in the other carriage whisper very disdainfully:
"I've never seen the world!"
Chen Longting's ears moved, and after hearing this, he was not angry, but looked at the other party, and then said with a smile:
"Have you seen the world?
"Down?" Yoshikawa was stunned, and his head seemed to be unable to turn.
"yes, because I like to eat noodles. β
This time, Yoshikawa Hideaki was completely confused, but Takeshi Kitano on the side said seriously:
"Yoshikawa-kun, the language of China is extremely profound, and I believe that there must be a lot of knowledge in it. β
Yoshikawa Hideaki nodded immediately, and Liu Congyun, who was only watching, snickered, and at the same time couldn't help but give Chen Longting a thumbs up.
In this regard, Chen Longting just smiled, and then the two got into the carriage, continued to move forward with the convoy, and after a while, they entered the concession.
At this moment, there are still many pedestrians on the road, and the voices are boiling, but the number of yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese has greatly decreased, but there are foreign-haired devils and Caucasians.
Of course, this is also indispensable for the Oriental people who step on clogs, Chen Longting looked out the car window, such a diverse street, between the eyebrows, tightly locked together, seemed to have a deep worry.
Liu Congyun on the side, holding the book of heaven in his hand, watched it carefully, and after a while, when he found the young master's expression, he couldn't help but say:
"There are some things that can only be changed by time, and if you rush it for a while, it will only backfire. β
Hearing Liu Banxian's words, Chen Longting seemed to have figured out something, his brows gradually relaxed, and then he smiled:
"I didn't expect that you usually don't show your landscapes, but at this time, you are exporting. β
As soon as these words came out, Liu Banxian immediately laughed proudly, obviously this guy's face is not ordinarily thick, and he was praised casually, and he really gasped.
Chen Longting couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and soon after, after the three carriages came to the hotel where he was staying, the people in the carriages stepped off one after another.
However, I saw that in addition to Chen Longting and Liu Congyun, there were also Takeshi Kitano, as well as Yoshikawa Hideaki's father, Yoshikawa Akita, and the other person was the Japanese military department, Yamada Kumaki.
Seeing Yamada Xiongshu, Chen Longting's eyes immediately flashed a dangerous chill, as early as when he was on the train, he planned to make a move to get rid of this person in secret.
But after taking into account the hands on the train. It is very likely to be suspected, so I will give up. At the same time, it was decided to wait for the ship. There are many opportunities to kill them when the time comes, and then throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.
This kind of death will definitely be very good.
After getting out of the car, Yamada Kumaki nodded to everyone, and then walked into the hotel first, without looking at Chen Longting, obviously being despised by it.
However, Yamada Kumaki didn't know it. A few months earlier, when he had met with Pu Yi in the Forbidden City, Chen Longting had been on the scene, stealing a national treasure that was about to be traded, and killing a ninja he had brought with him from the East.
I had dealt with him a long time ago, but the other party didn't know about it, which made Chen Longting extremely excited, and then, after placing his luggage in the hotel, he was with Heifeng. Chen Longting went out with Liu Congyun, planning to walk around the concession.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the hall, he happened to bump into Takeshi Kitano and Hideaki Yoshikawa. But I heard Takeshi Kitano speak:
"Long Tingjun, board the ship on time at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, this time. We can go and have a look. β
Chen Longting nodded, indicating that he understood. Later, he and Liu Congyun were about to step out of the hotel, but Takeshi Kitano and Hideaki Yoshikawa followed behind them. Then he said:
"If you don't mind, can we be together?"
Hearing this, Chen Longting couldn't help but smile, he was worried that he didn't have the opportunity to tweak/teach these two people well, so as to lay a good foundation for the development of these two people into 'Japanese traitors' in the future, of course he wouldn't mind now, it was too late to be happy.
Afterwards, the four of them left the hotel together and strolled around the concession.
On the road, Chen Longting looked at the surrounding western-style buildings, and the foreigners who kept appearing on the road, and gradually his and Liu Banxian's mood slowly became heavy, which was diametrically opposed to the relaxed mentality of Takeshi Kitano and Hideaki Yoshikawa.
It is an absolute shame that there are so many foreigners on Chinese soil who declare their so-called sovereignty!
But putting this aside, just talking about the prosperity of the concession made Chen Longting in a trance, as if walking on the streets of later generations.
Of course, if there weren't so many foreign devils, maybe it would be better.
On both sides of the street, Chen Longting can see some foreign trading companies from time to time, such as the East India Branch of the United Kingdom and the Citibank of the United States, which have landed on this land.
In front of those western-style buildings, there was an endless stream of guests, which only made Chen Longting very unhappy, but he knew very well in his heart that the eight basic industries in Shanghai were inseparable from these trading companies for the time being, and today's prosperity was only on the surface, and those were all because of the intervention of external forces.
In this world, only what belongs to oneself is the best!
When Chen Longting saw a foreign devil, sitting on a bench on the side of the road, leisurely reading the newspaper, he suddenly had an impulse and wanted to punch this dog to death!
But he didn't do it, but the foreign devil noticed Chen Longting, and then stood up, staring at him in surprise for a while.
This made Chen Longting's face black on the spot, but Liu Congyun on the side immediately became nervous, afraid that the young master would do something violent, but he didn't want the foreign devil in the priest's clothes, holding the newspaper, walked over in a few steps, looked at Chen Longting, and then looked at the newspaper, and suddenly said in surprise:
βMonkeyKingοΌβ
This immediately stunned Chen Longting, and then the priest said in very broken Chinese:
"Mud Monkey King, Monkey King?"
saw that there was a photo of Chen Longting on the all-English newspaper, and everyone finally understood.
It turned out that the matter of studying in the East was not only reported by the relevant media in China, but also by some foreign media.
Seeing this foreign devil and asking again, Chen Longting nodded with a wry smile, immediately made the priest overjoyed, and then hugged him, and said loudly and enthusiastically:
"Sun Wukong's scenery is dizzy, it's so greasy to get tired of the sea!"
Obviously, this priest is a reader who has read "Journey to the West", otherwise he would not be so fanatical, but because of cultural differences, the words that came out of the other party's mouth were extremely weird, which only made Liu Congyun and others laugh.
However, Chen Longting felt a chill, and immediately broke free from the other party's embrace, feeling that he had met a fan? Then, he couldn't help but communicate with the priest, it turned out that the other party's name was O'Connor, from the United States of America.
Tomorrow, O'Connor will also go to the East to preside over the Christ church over there, and Chen Longting, who heard this, couldn't help but secretly say, what a coincidence! Before he got on the ship, he met a shipmate.
Obviously, they boarded the ship at the same time as this foreign devil priest, and then, the priest named O'Connor sent a warm invitation to Chen Longting, giving him the opportunity to go to the United States to have a look.
In this regard, Chen Longting couldn't help but smile bitterly, this fan made him a little overwhelmed, and after a few perfunctory words casually, he planned to leave.
O'Connor saw that the other party had something, so he nodded very gentlemanly, obviously thinking that in the next few days, he would be able to share the same boat with Chen Longting and have more opportunities to communicate, so he let him go.
When Chen Longting and the others left, Father O'Connor suddenly spoke:
"Chinese Chen, you should have an English name. β
English name?
Chen Longting smiled thoughtfully, and then left with the other three
Soon after, Chen Longting and the other four walked through the concession, from the inner bund, to the bund, to see many wharves, and saw many famous buildings, even in later generations, although many high-rise buildings were not built.
But with the prosperous scene in front of you, you can also guess the picture of Shanghai rising in the near future.
It's just that behind the prosperity, there are countless humiliations.
In front of an Asia Building, known as the "First Building of the Bund in Shanghai", Chen Longting stopped and looked up at the tall building, only to see two flags flying at the top, representing the British Empire.
The pedestrians coming and going around him and the tall buildings in the distance are completely presented in Chen Longting's eyes.
For the first time, Chen Longting desperately wanted to work hard in his heart!
In later generations, someone once said that the so-called greater the power, the greater the responsibility!
At this moment, Chen Longting had many things in his mind that he had never thought of before, but at this moment, there was a noisy sound on the street not far from them
(There is a fight to be fought in the back!Two more today, throw it up!) (To be continued.) )
PS: (During this time, Xiaosha went to relatives, visited the door, married various relatives and friends, accompanied Lang, served as a best man, and made trouble in the cave room.)
Until today, this year is finally coming to an end. Now, let's continue with the Republic of China Martial God!)
