1928: The rise of giant merchants

Weekend, Peking.

Chen Dexin made breakfast and shouted towards the back room: "Xiaojue, Xiaoyan, get up and eat soon!"

"I got it~" the girls' charming and confused voices came from the bedroom.

Ma Yuzao, who had just gotten up, came downstairs wearing a long gown and opened his newspaper box. In addition to the newspapers he usually subscribed to, there were also two letters and a thick magazine.

One letter was sent by his old friend Qian Xuantong, and the other was written to his daughter Ma Jue.

"A love letter to Xiaojue?" Ma Yuzao suddenly became nervous.

He is now called "Father-in-law of Peking University". Countless boys call him that behind his back. Even some male teachers in the school use the title "Father-in-law" to make fun of him.

Who made his eldest daughter so beautiful and outstanding?

Especially recently, Ma Jue assisted the workers of the National Palace Museum to transfer cultural relics, and became well-known among the progressive student groups. His "father-in-law at Peking University" has also followed the trend, and he is now a "son-in-law" everywhere.

Back in the living room, the two daughters also finished washing and sat at the table waiting for dinner. Ma Yuzao handed the letter to Ma Jue: "Xiao Jue, your letter."

"Thank you, Dad." Ma Jue took it and opened the letter.

The letter was sent from Shanghai, but she didn't remember any acquaintances in Shanghai.

Ma Jue unfolded the letter and was shocked to find that it was a forwarded letter. The original sending address was actually the United States!

"Sister, whose letter is it? Let me see!" Ma Yan came over and asked curiously.

Ma Jue quickly covered the letter: "Go, go, read your own letter."

"Hmph~ It must be someone who wrote you another love letter, the beauty of Peking University~" Ma Yan pouted.

Ma Yuzao's ears stood up. He coughed a few times and asked casually, "Who wrote the letter? Xiaojue, you are still studying. Some things don't need to be touched so early."

"Dad! It's really not a love letter!" Ma Jue's cheeks turned red. This was indeed not a love letter, but to her, this letter made her heart beat more than a love letter. "It's an invitation letter sent to me by the second young master from the United States."

"Second Young Master's invitation letter?!" Ma Yuzao's voice suddenly raised an octave, "What kind of invitation is it?"

Ye Luo's name resounded in Peiping and Tianjin. Whether he rectified foreigners and compradors in Tianjin, subsidized students, or transferred cultural relics, everything was spread and he was regarded as an idol by students.

Ma Yuzao had also been favored by Ye's investment. When he heard the letter was from Ye Luo, he felt relieved.

The other party is a man with a family, so he will definitely not take action against his daughter. Besides being pretty, what else can make his daughter worthy of the second young master?

Even in terms of appearance, the second young master's concubines are all equally beautiful, not inferior to Ma Jue.

"They say they want me to go to the United States to be a reporter." Ma Jue held the letter and read it several times, her heart pounding all the time.

"Being a reporter in the United States? What's going on?" Ma Yuzao became even more confused.

Ma Jue quickly handed him a copy of the "World" newspaper that had been sent to him, which also published news about recruiting college students.

"No wonder I keep hearing from students in school recently that they want to work at Ye's Investment." Ma Yuzao suddenly realized it. He took a look at the newspaper and saw that even he was moved by the treatment above!

As long as you are successfully hired as a foreign reporter by Ye's Newspaper, all accommodation and food expenses will be fully covered. During the trainee period, you will receive a monthly salary of 100 oceans. The published articles will be paid separately. After becoming a regular employee, your monthly salary will be 130 oceans, plus various welfare subsidies of 50 yuan. Ocean.

There are a total of 30 days of fixed holidays every year, and you can also apply for reimbursement of transportation expenses.

If a reporter is admitted to a well-known university overseas, Ye's Newspapers can retain your employment status and support your studies.

As a professor at the university, his monthly salary is only over 200 yuan, and his salary is often not paid, not to mention the intensity of the work. After a group of teachers in the school left, most of them were left with multiple jobs.

Ma Jue’s invitation letter is even more extraordinary.

Ye Luo personally invited her to go to the United States to work as a reporter for Ye's newspaper. That means the boss directly recruits people, and the salary is double that of ordinary reporters!

Ma Jue always thought that since she confessed her love, the second young master would not want to see her again.

It seemed that the second young master didn't take it to heart at all. The letters were filled with brotherly words and care.

He even said that after Ma Yan graduates, he could consider working together.

"This is a good thing. The domestic situation is so turbulent. It would be a good thing if Xiaojue and Xiaoyan could go to the United States to escape." Chen Dexin cares more about the safety of her family. She doesn't want anything to happen to her daughters after the war reaches Peiping. .

Ma Yuzao pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "When my daughter grows up, let her make her own decision on this matter."

"Thank you, Dad!" Ma Jue said happily.

Ma Yan glanced at the envelope enviously and said with a smile: "When I finish college, I will go to the United States like my sister! To Europe!"

"You should finish your homework first!" Ma Jue glared at her.

at the same time.

Ye's Newspaper Office in Peking.

A young female college student named Yu Peichen came to apply for the job with a newspaper.

She had just been released from prison in Tianjin City, charged with having an affair with an underground organization.

Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing listened to Ye Luo's words when he left, and did not embarrass the patriots in the prison again, and released them all at once.

Otherwise, a young and beautiful female college student like her would be dead in prison.

Yu Peichen has a sister named Yu Liqun, who is Guo Moruo's wife. At this time, she also came to the office with her sister.

These students were very happy to join Yeh's Newspapers as reporters.

Anyway, if you don't go to war as a war correspondent, your life safety can be guaranteed.

Yu Peichen originally thought that her "disgraceful" experience would be rejected by Yeh's Newspapers, but after hearing about her story, the recruiter actually took the initiative to shake her hand and took her to a small room.

There was another interview there, and the interviewer was Mingtai who came to Peking with a group of people.

Since Ye Luo rescued him from the secret service last time, the young master of the Ming family who returned from studying in Hong Kong has become much more sober.

He unswervingly embarked on the path of supporting the underground organization.

Ye Luo was also happy to see him go in this direction, so he readily agreed to transfer him to the north to work.

Mingtai stood up and shook hands with Yu Peichen, smiling, "Hello, comrade."

The massive recruitment of Yeh's Newspapers shocked all walks of life.

The "World" newspaper caused a sensation across the country as soon as it was released.

The sales volume in Shanghai exceeded 50,000 copies in half a month, and the sales nationwide exceeded 300,000 copies.

This is simply a miracle in the newspaper industry of the Republic of China today.

The title of the newspaper uses a sentence that Ye Luo said: "Open your eyes and see the world!"

He hopes that the people can understand the world in this way, see through the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese invaders, and make adequate preparations before World War II. (End of this chapter)
