Chapter 551: Shanghai Survey

After the dishes were served, Su Lizhen, who replayed the scene of the train station, asked Dong Chuning, "Chuning, do you think Chen Qiushou is from the south or the north?"

"I can't speak it well, but I speak Mandarin without an accent. I didn't grow up here."

“Oh, the cadres who went south.”

Su Lizhen muttered to herself, confirming that both Chen Qiushuo and Lin Nanhu were cadres who went south. She kept this in mind and would add it to the report to be submitted to her husband later.

After tasting the delicious food at Likoufu, Su Lizhen went to a nearby pawnshop and spent 85 to buy a pawned item, a Leica IIIC camera. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been a trophy captured from the Japanese invaders.

On the way to the "Baohong" teahouse Huirulou to check in, she bought a few rolls of film, drank a cup of tea at Huirulou, and bought a box of daughter-in-law cakes and wife cakes each to eat on the way.

After leaving Huiru Tower, she took some landscape photos, and selected a few spots to ask Dong Chuning to take some artistic photos for her. The poses she posed in included imitating Lin Huiyin and Soong Mei-ling.

She was not interested in celebrity news. When she was young, she thought about becoming a talented woman and also the wife of a hero. When she got older, she found that what she liked was not the appearance of a hero, but the power in the hands of a hero. Lin Huiyin and Soong Mei-ling were the two templates she wanted to be like.

It is impossible to become the former by myself, and I don’t know if I can become the latter with the help of my husband.

Maybe there is hope.

It seems that the gentleman wants to be more than just a simple businessman, or it seems that he wants to be more than just a businessman.

"My strength is as great as that of a mountain and my courage is as overwhelming as that of the world, but the time is not right... Pah, pah, pah, the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. My power is so great that I am returning to my hometown. How can I find brave men to guard the four directions? Xian Ji, Su E'ou, hehe..."

In the evening, Su Lizhen checked into the Aiqun Hotel and bought winter clothes and other supplies needed for the journey at the clothing store attached to the hotel.

Besides, besides, besides...

The next morning, we boarded the No. 10 express train and began our journey, which theoretically would have taken the fastest time of 42.6 hours to reach Shanghai.

Woo woo woo ~ crack, rumble, clang.

When the train stopped at the platform of Shanghai Station, the actual journey was almost the same as the theoretical journey, with a total of less than 42+6 hours. When I got out of the train, it was just daybreak, and the dead trees and yellow grass were covered with a thin layer of frost.

After exhaling a puff of white mist, Wu Hongan, who came to pick her up, came to Su Lizhen and asked tentatively, "Mrs. Xian?"

Dong Chuning replied: "25001."

Wu Hongan was stunned for a moment, then he realized, "1072, MLM company Wu Hongan."

Dong Chuning stared at Wu Hongan's neck for a while, then nodded to Ma Laigong. Ma Laigong understood and stepped forward, saying sorry to Wu Hongan, then grabbed his wrist and took his pulse with his fingers.

Wu Hongan was confused. He came up and took my pulse. What was he doing?

After a while, Ma Laigong said, "After taking your pulse, I found that your kidney yin fluid is deficient. Ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine to replenish it."

Forced confessions must be tortured, and torture will inevitably cause injuries. The Malay Kung fu pulse diagnosis skills are only half-baked, so they may not be able to diagnose any illness, but they can accurately diagnose qi and blood deficiency. Wu Hongan passed the torture test, but his ability with the sugar-coated bullet is questionable.

Su Lizhen put on a gentle smile on her face, took a step forward, and said to Wu Hongan in a friendly manner: "Mr. Wu, Mr. asked me to bring you a message. Hongan, Victory Cinema has been showing "Ideological Problems". Take some time to watch the movie and put yourself in the shoes of Zhou Zhenghua, a college student who was trained by the arrogant American slave education. Reflect on liberalism, don't fall into pragmatism, and study collectivism in depth.

Bathing in the ocean of the proletariat, we should put aside our democratic individualism influenced by the fake democracy and typical colonial ideas of the British and American bourgeoisie, and believe from the bottom of our hearts that labor creates the world.

After hearing what Su Lizhen said, Wu Hongan's mind became a mess. This doctrine and that doctrine sounded familiar, and when strung together, he had no idea what they were, so he could only smile embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Su Lizhen's smile bloomed quietly like a flower in early spring. "The master said, if Mr. Wu doesn't understand what I said before, let me tell Mr. Wu that there is a wind in Guangzhou, a tornado that will go all the way north. Watch your mouth and your crotch, don't get into trouble."

It was a cold day, and Wu Hongan's forehead was covered with sweat. He explained evasively, "Mrs. Xian, I have always been cautious and never said anything careless."

Su Lizhen took out an unused handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Wu Hongan, "Be careful, wipe the sweat off your face, and go to the hotel."

"Okay, okay." Wu Hongan took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead, then made a gesture of invitation, "Mrs. Xian, come this way."

Wu Hongan arranged for Su Lizhen and the other two to live in the Yangtze Hotel, the birthplace of "Rose, Rose, I Love You". Before Ruan Lingyu committed suicide, she accompanied Tang Jishan here and released the last glory of her life.

This hotel will probably become famous in the United States. The cover of the album co-produced by Pan Dihua and Frankie Lane features the architectural style of the hotel, and a beautiful booklet is attached to the album, which contains song scores and fictional stories behind the songs.

The love story behind "Rose, Rose, I Love You" took place in the Yangtze Hotel, and the song has already shown signs of topping the pop music charts in the United States.

In order to bring Pan Dihua into the American pop music market, Xian Yaowen made a huge donation, spending money and effort in record production, but did not ask for any benefits. He only asked Frankie Lane to bring Pan Dihua to perform in the United States.

After Su Lizhen checked in, she took a nice hot bath, then ordered room service and a cow cake from the hotel's western restaurant.

In the past two years, many Shanghai dignitaries would choose to hold farewell banquets at the Yangtze Hotel before leaving for Hong Kong, and socialites would also bid farewell in western restaurants. Newspapers in both Shanghai and Hong Kong would feature socialites or former socialites lamenting that "after arriving in Hong Kong, we will never be able to eat such delicious cream cakes again."

Su Lizhen saw it and sighed, since she was here, she might as well try it.

I tasted it and it was just averagely delicious, not amazing. I don't know if the cook has changed or if she lacks the mentality of those socialites.

After taking a few bites, he put the cake aside and took the top newspaper from a pile on the table to read.

Before coming, Wang Xiamin told her husband that the mainland newspaper articles she had recently circled for him were mainly about agricultural products, and asked her to pay attention to collecting information in this area when she arrived in the mainland.

Last year, mainland China's military expenditure accounted for 41.1% of fiscal expenditure. This year's military expenditure will be even higher. Analyzing the rumors in the newspapers over the past few months, the solution to the military expenditure will most likely be to make the farmers suffer more, supplemented by encouraging the national bourgeoisie to donate.

Land reform is still going on vigorously, and any further hardship could easily lead to problems. In addition, two measures were used at the end of last year to solve financial problems: one was to reduce expenditures and freeze public cash, and the other was to reduce and slow down the purchase of agricultural products.

This will definitely not increase the burden on farmers. The feasible way is to turn the agricultural and sideline products in the hands of farmers into money, enhance farmers' purchasing power, encourage farmers to buy industrial products, and then cut out a large amount of fiscal revenue through the price scissors between industrial and agricultural products.

Xian Yaowen smelled the scent of a local product exchange fair and a material exchange fair, as well as the scent of US dollars.

From the RMB exchange rate of 1949 against the US dollar in 42000 to 22380 at the beginning of this year, Xian Yaowen was too ignorant to analyze the reasonable logic and formula for the appreciation to this number. He could only put it aside and only consider the mainland's demand for US dollars and list the product catalog for foreign exports.

A glance at the product catalog shows that it is filled with agricultural and sideline products such as bristles, tung oil, tea, eggs, medicinal herbs, live pigs, ginger, pond fish, etc. Industrial products are just a drop in the ocean, and Xian Yaowen's needs actually account for a considerable percentage.

The purpose of exporting agricultural and sideline products and selling flowers is to obtain foreign exchange. At the end of November last year, restrictions on private imports were relaxed and chain trade and barter trade were promoted, allowing private traders to use the foreign exchange earned from imports and exports to purchase materials for import and offset export settlement.

The inflow and outflow are directly related to the demand for war and are also reflected in military expenditure.

In terms of import, Xian Yaowen is already the biggest smuggling boss, and in terms of export, he has long been involved. Whether he will get involved in the export of agricultural and sideline products from the mainland on a large scale this year, he has to wait and see how steep the angle of the scissors will be.

The exchange rate itself is already at a disadvantage, and we cannot allow it to suffer further losses from the scissors gap.

Su Lizhen read the newspapers one by one, circled the articles related to agricultural products, and cut out the agricultural product price news from the newspapers.

After reading the newspaper, she went out to the small vegetable market.

She took her camera to the small market in Hongkou Sanjiaodi and spent a long time there, taking pictures, listening to the prices of vegetables, and asking about them.
The phone was ringing, asking for Yangcheng, Baoan, and finally a "huh". Why did my concubine go to the small vegetable market instead of going to the western restaurant to drink coffee?

Su Lizhen's behavior shattered the dreams of many old ladies in the community who wanted to name their grandson "Zhen Te".

After taking a few photos, she went to the Land Registry Bureau and watched others registering land and property ownership certificates. She also asked if she could purchase land in the city to build a house. She was told that she could buy it from others and handle the transfer process at the Land Registry Bureau.

It was Xian Yaowen's order to buy land and build houses. If possible, buy two pieces of land, one large and one small, and build two houses, one large and one small. The large one will be based on the size of the western-style houses on Wukang Road, and the small one will be a bungalow of about 100 square meters.

He also purchased two houses, one large and one small, the large one a Western-style house and the small one an ordinary brick and tile house.

The four rooms are four RGB color comparison tables, and changes in color values ​​may affect changes in his decision.

After leaving the Land Registry Bureau, Su Lizhen's next stop was the Xinhua Bookstore. She first took a few photos of the bookshelves, and then looked through the old books published before 1949, specifically those with covers that were not so new. She took a quick look, wrote down the titles and synopses, and took out a few books and put them aside, ready to buy.

She bought two copies of Lu Shi'e's "China 40 Years after the Establishment of the Constitution", one for her husband and one for herself to read before going to bed tonight.

After flipping through the old books, look at the new books published after 1949.

She read the new book more carefully, not only reading the synopsis, but also understanding the central idea conveyed in the book.

She stayed in the bookstore for nearly three hours. When Su Lizhen walked out of the bookstore, the lights were already on. She kept walking towards the western pharmacy to inquire about the supply of drugs such as Xiaozhilong powder, Xiaofamiding powder, chloramphenicol, and penicillin.

As she thought, these anti-inflammatory drugs that can be used to treat injuries are indeed in great demand. They are difficult to buy over the counter, but some can be bought under the counter.

In a dark alley, she spent seven hundred thousand yuan to buy two penicillin bottles. Judging from the label on the bottle, it was definitely from her husband, a diluted version of Tokyo glucose.

She seemed to have been slaughtered, the knife was very sharp.

At nine o'clock in the evening, her initial survey of Shanghai came to an end. She touched the slightly deflated swimming ring around her waist and hurried to find a place to relieve her hunger. (End of this chapter)
