Chapter 53 Zhao Zilong
Subtitle of this chapter: You must also talk about PC when singing a big show!
"What is the use of Baisaishan and Yuan Er to our American Anliangtang?"
"Madam, you can't say that. This kind of small mountain hall is really useless, but Yuan Yanshu..." Hongqi Laowu didn't say anything. He sighed and changed the topic, "Hey... the boss sent a letter from China last month. The situation in China is very unoptimistic..."
Li Jie, who instantly changed from a gangster to a professional revolutionary, said worriedly: "Mr. Zhongshan has asked for money again."
In 1920, the iron fist invincible had not yet found the way for the Russians. He would not start formal contact with the Communist International until July next year, so naturally there was no golden ruble or water bead to take. In this kind of troubled times, there was no money bag or gun, even if he really had an invincible iron fist, he would not be tough to speak. Otherwise, how could he run to Shanghai to open a trust company with Mr. Yuan and others?
When looking at historical figures, we should try to be objective. Although this kind of gentleman, Chuan Lin Beile, has been ruining too many things in his life, let alone beards, he even wants to learn from a dictator like Mussolini. However, from 1920 to 1921, part of the reason he devoted himself to the stock market was to raise funds for the revolutionary cause, and this is beyond hiding. Of course, he failed to trade stocks in the end and almost jumped into the Huangpu River...
There is no need to say much about the relationship between the overseas Hongmen and the Iron Fist. Anyone who knows a little about history knows that this time, Sun Hongbang met Situ Longtou who returned to China, so he naturally raised funds from this loyal revolutionary comrade and Hongmen boss.
Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Originally, I, a woman, shouldn't have asked too much, but did not Citi's ban on alcohol make us Anliangtang a lot of money?"
The series of historical events that occurred after the filing of the United States' Prohibition from its crime to its abolition are really very humorous, and can be called "black human comedy". It can even be said that Prohibition reshaped the United States of America, transforming it from a quasi-religious country with strong Puritan meaning into a truly secularized country.
The prohibition has created many unexpected side effects to the advocates at the time. One of them is that it has opened up a big financial path for all kinds of vibrant social groups in the United States. Various illegal organizations mainly separated by race have filled the original legal channels for liquor manufacturing, sales and transportation. As the largest gang among the Chinese in the United States, the Hongmen and the largest hall under it, Anliangtang, naturally got a share of the pie.
"My wife, I'm just upset about this."
"Angliangtang makes money, are you, the old fifth brother of Hongqi? "
"My wife, have you not understood what happened in our family yet? And have you forgotten the "Chinese Exclusion Act" that has suffered from plague?"
"Our family was indeed colluded with dog officials and bad gentry. But... what does this "Chinese Exclusion Act" have to do with making money and that Yuan Er?"
The fifth brother of Hongqi sighed in his heart. Women even have long hair and short knowledge, and even "heroes" like their own wife cannot avoid the vulgarity.
Of course, he didn't dare to say that verbally, so he had to explain to his wife patiently.
Part of the reason why Li Jie helped Yuan Yanshu was indeed "a fellow disciple". He really had no choice. In front of everyone, the Hong brothers asked him to be on his head, but he didn't necessarily push him. Isn't this his own brand? How can he be the old fifth in the future?
Another part of the reason is that Yuan Shengxian is also a "real" Nyu PhD student in economics. A senior intellectual like Li Jie immediately realized that a senior intellectual like Yuan Yanshu is the... senior intellectual that An Liangtang urgently needs at present.
There is a saying that goes, you are not afraid of hooligans knowing martial arts, but you are afraid of hooligans being educated.
"The head of the family... So you talked for a long time, but in fact, it means that you didn't understand what Yuan Er could do for our Anliangtang, right?"
"Hey, you old lady have long hair and short knowledge. Why don't you understand after I talked for a long time..."
"Who do you talk about? Who do you talk about long hair and short knowledge? Tell me clearly! Your skin is itchy again, right?!"
"A good man won't fight with a woman. If I hadn't given up on you, you, the three-legged cat's Anqingzi technique would do anything to me like Yan Qingquan master... Go to the ball! I said, can you speak well? What's the matter if you pull out the gun?"
Our Master Yuan naturally didn't know what Hongqi Laowu was planning, nor did he know what Jinfeng Laowu did. He brought two Hongmen brothers who were carrying boxes and a "consultant" and excitedly came to an idle guest room in Anliang Hall.
"Second Master, you look so handsome, you look like Zhao Zilong in Changshan! Look at your appearance, Er Master is also a fan of the country, right?"
By the way, Mr. Yuan’s reputation in Chinatown has become increasingly popular recently. He went to the meeting alone for a foreign hall, which became a popular "talk". The "clothing consultant" he specially invited also came up to make fun of it. In fact, the consultant himself was a martial artist who was singing a Guangdong drama in Chinatown. There was no way, the outfit he borrowed was a set of "martial arts clothes", which was very complicated to wear, and Yuan Yanshu would definitely not be able to handle it alone.
Our Master Yuan was also very satisfied with the mirror's self-shot. He posed and said modestly: "I'm too rewarded and too rewarded. What kind of voters are not voters, I'm just singing."
Guangdong drama is worthy of being the most exquisite outfit among all Chinese dramas. This set of dragon robe white set is excellent in workmanship and exquisite embroidery, so it can be regarded as a craft.
Their Yuan family does have the tradition of being a fan of Kunqu opera and Peking Opera. Unfortunately, it is hard to say whether the tradition of his generation can continue. But wasn’t Yuan Yanshu wearing it back? Naturally, he has to popularize the American people what “chinese-opera” means.
In addition, it’s not to mention that the broken system is not useless. The “Holympic T-line Pants” card is really useful. Although the two abilities you know +1 (equivalent to another +3) and the rope skill +1 (equivalent to binding +3) have not been confirmed yet, but the disguise +1 (equivalent to performance +3) really has an effect. After Yuan Yan suddenly put on her outfit, she naturally brought a little taste in her every move.
The consultant asked with great interest: "Do you always treat Pihuang or Kunqu?"
Yuan Shengxian of Baisuishan looked upright and turned his head and replied, "Our Hong brothers sing big operas if they don't sing Kunqu opera. How can they sing the Hu tune like Pihuang?"
In fact, Pihuang is a drama variety that is "hybridled" by Kunqu opera and Manchu minor tunes. For the "loyal" Hongmen disciples like Yuan Yanshu, whether to sing Pihuang or not is a political-correctness issue.
