Republic of China Tycoon Reborn

Half an hour later, Du Yuesheng and others, all dressed in glamour, drove towards the public concession. Chen Junrong just called Yuan Haipeng. Yuan Haipeng recommended her the General Hotel there. Chen Junrong suddenly realized that the General Hotel was a newly acquired hotel by Sanxin Company. Du Yuesheng was so hasty that she forgot about the property.

A convoy of six cars drove towards the General Hotel. The scenery outside gradually became busier. This was a sign of entering the concession. After a while, the car stopped in front of a five-story building. That was the General Hotel.

Du Yuesheng, who was surrounded by people, walked in and looked at the layout of the hotel. The hotel can only be described as magnificent. The five-story building is brightly lit. There are all kinds of vehicles parked in front of the hotel.

"When did we buy this place?" Du Yuesheng asked Chen Junrong softly. The hotel can only be regarded as his peripheral business, not the main business. He leaves these kinds of things to Yuan Haipeng, Xiang Danian and Chen Junrong. But even so, if they bought such a large hotel, they should at least inform him. He couldn't remember who told him about it.

Chen Junrong looked at Yuan Haipeng. Yuan Haipeng took two steps forward and explained in a low voice to Du Yuesheng: "This is the hotel that bears the bill. The shareholders are us and Huang Huangrong. Zhang Xiaolin also occupies a point. Since we are in the concession, the apparent boss is Golden glory."

Du Yuesheng nodded. He once set a policy for Yuan Haipeng and the others. He asked them not to expand into the concession for the time being and to focus their energy elsewhere. The reason why he made this decision was first to give Huang Huangrong face. Because Huang Huangrong They made their fortune from the concession. It is not easy for them to snatch food from the golden bowl. Secondly, Du Yuesheng felt that the time had not come yet. He did not want to adopt the same principles and policies for the concession as for other places.

The lobby manager was polite and well-dressed. He was waiting for Du Yuesheng with a smile on his face. Du Yuesheng took a step in and he came out to greet Du Yuesheng. He showed a standard professional manager's smile on his face. He bent down and spoke in English.

"What's your mother's surname?" Du Yuesheng replied expressionlessly.

The lobby manager was stunned. The expression on his face changed again and again. He didn't know how to answer.

"Understand Chinese." Du Yuesheng looked at him: "I am also Chinese. You are also Chinese. Don't pretend to be a foreign dog in front of me, okay."

The lobby manager smiled awkwardly and no longer pretended to be pretentious. Instead, he honestly led Du Yuesheng upstairs.

"Yue Sheng, why are you speaking so rudely today? You usually know how to save face for others." Chen Junrong touched his arm. As soon as the lobby manager was dismissed, she couldn't wait to ask.

Du Yuesheng exhaled: "I don't know why. I just feel angry when I see his fake foreign devil behavior."

"This is also work. I can't help it. This is in the concession. With such a good hotel, the manager naturally wants to..."

Chen Junrong didn't finish a sentence. The waiter next to him opened the box door at this moment. Du Yuesheng and Kang Youwei went in first. Then Chen Junrong, Yuan Shanbao, Yuan Haipeng and Xiang Danian also went in together. Today they are hosting a banquet for the military and political affairs of Shanghai Beach. The important person was not a friend in the world of martial arts, so even Dayuan Qingda and others did not follow him.

"Not bad, not bad." Du Yuesheng looked at the box in front of him and expressed satisfaction. There were three large round tables in the entire box. They were all made of mahogany. There was a bright red carpet on the floor. A regular script hanging on the wall to the north said: Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao·Chibi Nostalgia".

Seeing this, Kang Youwei immediately became energetic because it involved his professional knowledge: "This is the authentic handwriting of Zheng Xiaoxu and it cannot be mistaken. His calligraphy is in regular script and official script. He is especially good at regular script. He took the path of Ouyang Xun and Su Shi. He got his strength from Northern Wei Dynasty tablet. The calligraphy is long, vigorous and simple..."

"Okay, okay. It's not too late to talk about this later." Du Yuesheng interrupted him: "Think carefully about what to say to others for a while."

"Brother Yuesheng, you are so unruly." A loud voice sounded outside. There was no blame in the voice, but a bit of complaint. This was Huang Huangrong's voice.

Du Yuesheng and others quickly stood up and greeted him: "Old man, you are here."

Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin walked in one after another. He laughed and patted Du Yuesheng on the shoulder: "Lu Chunlan was singing at my place. You brought me here with just a phone call. Hey, I won't be poor today. You. Then consider me sorry for myself."

Du Yuesheng knew very well what happened between him and Lu Chunlan: "Just bring her with you. Why are you afraid of people seeing you?"

"Take it or not." Huang Jinrong waved his big hand like a cattail leaf fan: "I am an opera singer, not a prostitute. Why should you accompany me out? Besides, it is your brother Yuesheng who wants me to accompany you today. What we are doing is serious business. Just don’t let ladies get involved..."

Chen Junrong coughed in protest.

Zhang Xiaolin also laughed: "Yue Sheng, you are rushing too much. Can't you give me two days' notice in advance?"

"I can't help it. I can't help it. I've made you suffer this time. I'm so sorry." Du Yuesheng couldn't help but apologize.

Huang Jinrong waved his hand: "The three of us will suffer if we suffer. We will all prosper if we suffer. There is nothing to be sorry for."

It is now a little after eight o'clock. Not long after Huang Huang and Rong came, Wang Ziping from Xinmin Daily came. As usual, he brought the cameraman with him. He had paper and pen in his hand and was ready for the interview. After a while, two more people came. Several reporters came. They were all reporters from Shanghai's leading newspapers. After a while, several people from the Shanghai government came one after another. It was not until about nine o'clock that Chen Qimei and Gao Hongbo arrived belatedly. .

Every big shot always appears last. Du Yuesheng had been mentally prepared for this, so he was not surprised. Everyone sat down separately, chatting and laughing, completely leaving Kang Youwei aside. Kang Youwei sighed in his heart. He was now a phoenix in trouble. It is only natural to receive this kind of treatment.

"Kang Youwei. I really didn't think you could make it out of Beiping City alive." Chen Qimei's words did not save him any face: "After receiving the call from Mrs. Yuesheng, I called specifically to inquire. Only then did I know that you were detained by our country. The Nationalist Government granted me a special pardon. Ha, come to Shanghai. What do you want to do next?"

The conversation has turned to the main topic. Not only Chen Qimei and Gao Hongbo were looking at Kang Youwei, but the rest of the people were also looking at him. Kang Youwei glanced at Chen Qimei and then at Gao Hongbo. Gao Hongbo was born in the Manchu Prefecture. He was treated like this by Kang Youwei. Look, I feel a little uncomfortable.

"Master Chen, you don't have to bully me." Kang Youwei stood up and started talking. Although the military and political figures in the room were very eye-catching, he was not afraid at all. Just kidding. He was the emperor's master at the time. How could the person who assisted Emperor Guangxu against the Empress Dowager Cixi be afraid of Chen Qimei? Let alone Chen Qimei. Even if Sun Yat-sen was standing here, he would not be embarrassed.

"Kang doesn't want to talk about the past anymore. What I want to say today is not only for you. I also want to say it to the world through a few journalist friends." Kang Youwei bowed his hands to the reporters who were taking notes. They Several of them immediately returned the favor and smiled.

"I'm old. What else can an old man who is nearly seventy years old do?" Kang Youwei pointed to the calligraphy on the wall: "In the future, I will study calligraphy and ponder the Wei stele. That will be enough. Kang will live to Now, I have never focused on knowledge. But now I understand. What is the biggest in the world is culture. Everything is a passing cloud and will disappear at the moment. Only by doing knowledge can we be immortal."

"Well said." Du Yuesheng stood up and held the wine glass: "Let us all congratulate Mr. Kang for returning from his lost ways. From now on, there is one less old man in politics and one more master in academia."

Chen Qimei smiled slightly: "If Mr. Kang wants to stay in Shanghai to study, I, Chen Qimei, will not only warmly welcome him, but also give me my full support."

"People who are scholars are all great people." Huang Huangrong also smiled apologetically.

Kang Youwei's attitude was very clear. Chen Qimei and others present were very happy. The reporters took a few photos and took notes. For a while, the guests and the host had a great time. They drank until after twelve o'clock in the night before leaving.

Farewell to everyone. Du Yuesheng took Kang Youwei back: "Mr. Kang, I will help you buy a house tomorrow."

"Haha. You don't have to worry about my livelihood." Kang Youwei was full of confidence: "As long as I am willing, some universities will ask me to give lectures. Some booksellers are willing to publish books for me. I don't make much, but I have to support myself. That's More than enough.”

"The people from the Red Gang didn't come." Yuan Shanbao reminded him while driving.

"Although they didn't come, I can guarantee that among the people who came today, there must be some of them." Du Yuesheng smiled slightly: "That's enough. No problem."

The next day, Du Yuesheng helped Kang Youwei buy a house. Kang Youwei, who was looking down on everything, started to study with peace of mind and never bothered about political matters. Because of this, he had a good death. This is a story for later. Press Don't Mention.

After Kang Youwei was settled, Du Yuesheng found Lian Dayuan and others. In his meeting room, he lit a cigar: "I want to announce something today." He said what he meant. Of course I didn’t go into too much detail, but it was enough to shock everyone.

He waved his hand: "I called you here today not to discuss with you whether this should be done, but to discuss how to do it. You may not understand me now. You will understand me later." Du Yuesheng After a pause: "Dayuan, you have always been responsible for our Jianghu forces. Please tell us what we should do."
