Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 284 Some Fragments (Part )

As the clouds of war shrouded the sky faded, millions of people in Shanghai relaxed and began to prepare for the New Year.

Although after the President came to power, the Republic of China began to learn from the West in an all-round way, and the calendar is also based on the Western New Year.

However, among the people, everyone still recognizes the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar more. Now that the Spring Festival is only a few days away, the people of Shanghai, who have got rid of the tense atmosphere, are almost starting a crazy New Year celebration with a vindictive mentality. Activity.

Various operas, performances, temple fairs and other gatherings were held continuously. Shanghai, which had always been famous for the indulgence of the rich, suddenly had a sense of having fun with the people.

Among the many dizzying festive activities, people discovered a very novel thing:

the film.

To say that movies are not that unfamiliar to the people in Shanghai, even if they have never been to a cinema to watch a movie, they have heard of paintings that can move on cloth. appearance.

It's just that this time the movie is a little different from the past.

It is placed in the open air.

Although the entire film only lasts two minutes, the film has smooth, punchy fight scenes, especially the last scene of the short film, where a handsome man kicks a plaque that reads "Sick Man of East Asia" to pieces. The picture is deeply imprinted in the hearts of many people.

Many people are very interested in this upcoming movie called "Fist of Heroes".

Similar trailers are not only played in Shanghai, but also in big cities such as Capital City, Pingjin, and WH.

Sufficient publicity work was done for the release of "Fist of Heroes".

Just as everyone was preparing to celebrate the New Year, President Zhang received two guests with special status in the Zhang Mansion in Shanghai.

Yoshiko Kawashima, Ying Wang.

To be honest, since his factory was attacked a few days ago, President Zhang didn't really want to see the Japanese.

It's not that he just realized what he was doing because of his conscience, but President Zhang felt that he could take this opportunity to discuss the terms with the Japanese and raise his worth.

Otherwise, he would not be so cooperative with Du and Huang's revenge.

President Zhang knows very well that only by showing the value of the Qinggang, the Japanese will pay more attention to him and be willing to spend a lot of money to buy him.

If you blindly lick the Japanese and act like dogs to the Japanese, you will only end up like a dog or a rabbit.

Originally, President Zhang planned to keep the Japanese out until after the New Year, but unfortunately it was the woman Yoshiko Kawashima who came to visit today.

This woman looks calm, but in fact she is an out-and-out lunatic. She was the one who planned the "December 28th Incident" a few years ago. This woman is famous for not giving up until she achieves her goals.

Coupled with the other party's special status, President Zhang agreed to this meeting after thinking about it.

"Ms. Kawashima, Boss Wang, you two came to visit us. You don't know what's going on?"

They were guests when they came in. Since two people were invited in, President Zhang would naturally not say anything bad, but instead asked the other party's intention with a smile on his face.

"President Zhang, this time I am here to explain to you some minor misunderstandings between us on behalf of Mr. Doihara."

Kawashima Yoshiko, who was dressed in men's clothing and had a short haircut, also smiled and said.

Some small misunderstanding?

The direct losses caused by the destruction of my two factories, plus the indirect losses caused by the shutdown, are hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is this something that can be overcome by a small misunderstanding?

Ha ha.

President Zhang smiled slightly.

"Miss Kawashima is joking. If there is any misunderstanding between us, it's all based on our own methods."

Hearing President Zhang's words, Yoshiko Kawashima knew that President Zhang was still brooding about the destruction of his factory.

"President Zhang, I can assure you on behalf of Shanghai's intelligence agencies that we have absolutely not taken action against your factory. At least, those people were not sent by us."

Yoshiko Kawashima said.

She did not directly say that those people were not sent by the Japanese. Although according to subsequent investigations, those two people were indeed not sent by Hase Aokawa, but neither Kawashima Yoshiko nor Fujita Yoshimasa could guarantee that they were. It is not the "self-assertion" of some middle- and lower-level espionage personnel.

It can only be said that the "September 18th Incident" planned by Ishihara Kanji gave the Japanese army a bad start, and many ambitious officers were trying their best to cause trouble.

President Zhang looked unconcerned with Yoshiko Kawashima's assurance.

No matter how much you talk, is there any point? My losses are real. If I don't come up with something real, then this conversation will just be a pure conversation.

Yoshiko Kawashima naturally knew what kind of person this President Zhang was, so she continued:

"When I came here, Mr. Satomi, the director of the agency, told me that in order to compensate for your losses, President Zhang, the Japanese side will provide President Zhang with two thousand kilograms of high-quality opium cream for free.

I wonder if President Zhang is satisfied with this price? "Two thousand kilograms of opium ointment. Currently, one tael of opium ointment on the market costs about 20 yuan. This batch of goods is worth a full French currency.

President Zhang’s mind instantly went through the price of this batch of goods, and then he shook his head and said:

"Ten thousand pounds."

"President Zhang, your appetite is too much."

After looking at President Zhang for a while, Yoshiko Kawashima shook her head helplessly and said:

"Three thousand catties."

"Eight thousand catties."

After some bargaining, Yoshiko Kawashima finally brought President Zhang back into the Japanese camp at the price of five thousand kilograms of tobacco.

After settling the previous matters, Yoshiko Kawashima began to talk about the next arrangements.

"President Zhang, this Mr. Wang Ying will be the Satomi agency's agent in Shanghai from now on. I hope you can take more care of him in the future."

"Hello, President Zhang."

Wang Ying, who had always had no sense of presence, finally had a chance to speak.

President Zhang glanced at Wang Ying and nodded, indicating that they knew each other. Although President Zhang had never met Wang Ying before, he knew that such a guy was beaten to pieces by General Fu.

This contemptuous attitude made Wang Ying feel very angry. However, as a seasoned veteran, Wang Ying knew very well that at the moment, she really didn't have much to be admired by others.

The battle with General Fu caused Wang Ying to completely lose the support of the Japanese, and he was transformed from the former warlord leader back to his original form as a cigarette dealer.

This time, Satomi's agency in Shanghai was almost wiped out. In order to restore the business network as soon as possible, Satomi just remembered Wang Ying again.

Wang Ying will naturally try to seize this rare opportunity to make a comeback. For him, suffering a little grievance is nothing.

"When will the goods be delivered?"

President Zhang was more concerned about the five thousand kilograms of smoke and soil than Wang Ying, a drowned dog.

Yoshiko Kawashima said:

"The goods have been packed in Fengtian and should be sent to Luda for loading soon and sent to Shanghai."

"Okay, I get it."

President Zhang nodded and picked up the tea bowl that had cooled down.

Yoshiko Kawashima stood up very sensibly and said:

"President Zhang, let's take our leave now."

"No delivery."

Until he walked out of the gate of Zhang Mansion, Wang Yingcai said to Yoshiko Kawashima:

"President Zhang, he doesn't think too much of the Imperial Army and Miss Kawashima, right?"

Yoshiko Kawashima glanced at Wang Ying.

To be honest, she actually looked down on Wang Ying a little bit, but after the "December 28th Incident", the differences between her and the Japanese became more and more serious. After realizing that there were signs that she was out of control, Doi Genji The strength in her hands was greatly reduced, making Yoshiko Kawashima feel a little powerless.

Forget it, although this Wang Ying's abilities are average, at least he is still usable.

Thinking of this, Kawashima Yoshiko said:

"If you don't have strength, isn't it normal to be looked down upon by others? Besides, doesn't he think less of you, Mr. Wang, than me?"

Wang Ying didn't know what to say. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between Kawashima Yoshiko and President Zhang, but Kawashima Yoshiko immediately brought the topic to his head.

Just when Wang Ying was embarrassed, Yoshiko Kawashima said again:

"So, Mr. Wang, if we want to be respected by others and gain a foothold in Shanghai, we must have enough strength of our own. Do you understand?"

Looking at Yoshiko Kawashima's face, Wang Ying quickly understood.

"Wang Ying, I am willing to do my best for Miss Kawashima."
