Chapter Thirty-Four Rumors
The tobacco factory that Zhong Yang is running is amazing every day, and it is difficult to hide this kind of thing from those who are interested in investigation. Liu Wanhe even came to Zhong Yang several times and asked him if he wanted to sell the factory. He kept mentioning that the buyer was a politician in Anfu Club, and the price was also ridiculously low, and there was a bit of the meaning of forcing him to buy and sell.
Zhong Yang was really amused and crying about this kind of thing. No wonder the national bourgeoisie cannot grow and grow in China in this time and space. There are too many people who like to take advantage of tricks and rob. Zhong Yang donated more than 500,000 silver dollars to them every month, but those greedy guys are still not satisfied. Now they want to take away Zhong Yang's hen who can lay golden eggs.
However, in fact, Zhong Yang has long been enlightened in this situation. As a rich man without background, status, and strength, it would be strange if he was not robbed in a place ruled by warlords. Although Liu Wanhe came forward to discuss with Zhong Yang carefully, if he did not submit, the next thing would probably be to arrest him on some charges and force the sale of the factory.
Zhong Yang, who had already felt that time was tight, is now even more determined to leave this place. Anyway, he made a lot of money, so he could just take the machine in the factory into the Asian space to pack it away. The only regret that Zhong Yang felt was that he finally met a girl, and now he was going to separate, and he might not have the chance to meet again in the future. This is the sorrow of this era and the communication difficulties caused by underdeveloped communication.
It is better to leave sooner than later. After all, Zhong Yang cannot guarantee how long the patience of those political officials can last. So Zhong Yang plans to take the train to leave tomorrow night, and he even bought the ticket. He and Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang and his group left in the low night. Today, Zhong Yang also settled the wages of the workers in the factory in advance. Although these workers are likely to be unemployed, Zhong Yang is now crossing the river with a clay Buddha, so he had to pay an extra month of money, saying that it was the bonus given to employees by the company.
Seeing these factory employees happy, Zhong Yang felt a little guilty. But he didn't dare to tell the truth because he was not sure if there were any eyeliners that Liu Wanhe had inserted into these people. Zhong Yang really couldn't withstand any carelessness and carelessness, so he could only try to be careful to prevent Yu Weiran.
I originally planned to say goodbye to Zhang Yinyin, but Zhong Yang didn't expect that just today, Zhang Yinyin came to her door. And looking at her aggressive appearance, it didn't seem like a good thing.
The two of them arrived at the reception hall in the villa. Zhong Yang drank the hot tea brought by Zhang's mother and looked at Zhang Yinyin, who was still erect. The green tea that had been brewed was on the coffee table in front of her, but her face didn't look like she was planning to drink it.
Seeing that she was still angry, Zhong Yang had to smile and said, "What's wrong, who made Yin Yin angry again?"
When Zhang Yinyin saw that Zhong Yang was still smiling, she became even more angry. She said to Zhong Yang loudly: "You are so embarrassed to laugh? Don't you know what the situation is now? You dare to meet the Japanese privately. Now that many people know about it, what are you going to do?"
"What? What's going on?"
When Zhong Yang heard Zhang Yinyin's words, he felt something was wrong. He did have contact with Japanese people before, but he didn't expect that this would be used by others to make a fuss.
Seeing Zhong Yang, Zhang Yinyin looked surprised, and she also felt something was strange, so she asked, "It was spreading this morning in the students and all walks of life. Have you ever done it? When I went to the student union this morning, I heard from my classmates that some people regard you as a traitor. If I hadn't persuaded me, someone would come to trouble you immediately."
Faced with Zhang Yinyin's question, Zhong Yang also answered calmly: "I did have contact with the Japanese before, but that was because I snatched their business."
Zhong Yang told Zhang Yinyin the original story of his acquisition of iron ore. Anyway, these are true. Faced with this situation, no matter how stupid Zhong Yang knew, many people already disliked him. Whether it was warlords or Japanese, they wanted to start dealing with him.
After listening to Zhong Yang's explanation, Zhang Yinyin's face began to improve a lot after hearing what he was doing with the Japanese. But she also began to worry about Zhong Yang: "Is someone trying to deal with you? Can you know who it is?"
Regarding this question, Zhong Yang could only smile bitterly. He looked helpless and said to Zhang Yinyin: "There are too many people who want to deal with me. The Feixiong Gang, who was interfered with the tobacco business, wanted to take away some of the politicians in the Anfu Club of my family, and the Japanese who disliked me. It seems that I will not cause trouble and will not let me go."
This made Zhong Yang dare not continue to stay in Beijing for too long. Anyway, the matter in the villa was handled almost the same. Zhang Ma got a sum of money for her retirement, and the other servants also received a good settlement fee based on their usual performance. So when Zhang Yinyin came, there were no other servants in the villa except Zhang Ma.
As for this villa, Zhong Yang couldn't sell it anymore. He was still feeling sorry for how to deal with this villa. He suddenly came up with an idea. He smiled and said to Zhang Yinyin: "Yinyin, what do you think of my villa?"
Suddenly, when Zhang Yinyin heard Zhong Yang ask about this topic, she was a little confused. She looked at the surrounding layout and decoration in confusion, and gave an objective evaluation: "It's okay, but the place is a little smaller."
For people like Zhang Yinyin, Zhong Yang's villa is barely qualified, but it is nothing compared to the big house in her family.
"I plan to donate this house to the Revolutionary Party as a stronghold of the Party organization in Beijing. What do you think?"
Although he was a little amused and wailed by Zhang Yinyin's comments, Zhong Yang still expressed his thoughts. Anyway, he could not take the house away. Instead of being sealed and confiscated by others, it would be better to give it to the revolutionary party and make a fuss. As long as this house is recorded in Zhang Yinyin's name, with her background and identity, few people will have disagreements with her because of a house.
"Why? Then where are you going to move?"
Zhang Yinyin was still surprised by Zhong Yang's decision. After all, Zhong Yang's previous stingy behavior was completely unsightly that he was a rich man who was willing to give him a villa casually.
"I plan to leave this place of right and wrong. As you said, I'm going to visit Guangzhou and see the new revolution there."
Zhong Yang finally told Zhang Yinyin about his decision to leave Beijing. Zhang Yinyin did not persuade him, she just felt a little disappointed. Because if Zhong Yang really left, maybe the two of them would have no chance to meet again in the future.
"You really want to leave?"
"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."
After just a few chats, the two were speechless. A young man and woman who had a good impression of each other sat there quietly without anyone disturbing them. This may be the last time they met in their lives.
Outside, Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang also received reports from their subordinates that someone was maliciously slandering Zhong Yang. Both of them felt a headache about the things that were happening. Because rumors spread everywhere, more and more people believed it, especially during this sensitive period. Any private contact with the Japanese can easily trigger the fragile heartstring in the hearts of the people.
When Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang rushed back to the villa to discuss with Zhong Yang, Zhang Yinyin had already gone back. Then Zhong Yang told them about the decision to leave together. Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang, who were prepared for this matter, naturally had no other opinions. Just put the luggage directly into the Asian space. Take away all the things that can be taken away, and it would be best not to leave anything for those people.
"Zhong Yang, where will we go next?"
Although Chen Ze had discussed this issue with Zhong Yang before, he did not reach a consensus and did not really confirm it. It was mainly because everyone's opinions were not unified yet. Zhong Yang wanted to go to Guangzhou to join the revolutionary party. However, Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang wanted to develop in Shanghai. After all, unlike the revolutionary party that has no foundation in the hearts of the people, Shanghai, the night pearl, was yearning for by everyone in China in this era.
"I decided to go to Guangzhou. Although Shanghai's economy is very good, it is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is not something that people like us can play with."
Although Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang still couldn't understand why they couldn't go to Shanghai, Zhong Yang decided to go to Guangzhou. For China, Shanghai is not just an open port city and a financial metropolis. Now Shanghai is still the base camp of all the invading powers of China. The interests of countless political groups and underground forces are entangled there, and not everyone can get along.
Zhong Yang did not plan to take this risk. He still hoped to go to Guangzhou to see the specific situation of the revolutionary party. As long as he determined that the other party would carry out the Northern Expedition like in the original time and space, Zhong Yang decided to support them with all his strength to obtain enough political capital. Only in this way can he be considered a preliminary gain.
And there, you can also go to the poor and backward Guangxi to recruit some tough soldiers. Only in this way can Zhong Yang develop his own private armed forces. It is really unsafe to do such things in northern China, and there are too many natural enemies. Whether it is the warlords or the Japanese, they are not a good deal. Zhong Yang doesn't like to fight wits and courage with them, and Zhong Yang doesn't want to do such unreliable things.
In the initial stage of development, we must choose a place with a more peaceful environment. Because Zhong Yang's current strength is not enough to make him do what he wants without any scruples. Don't imagine the people of this era as stupid as they are. They just lack the accumulation of knowledge, not wisdom. Anyone who underestimates them will be fooled by them.
