Since being severely scolded and beaten by Sister Yu last time, Wang Kaiyun has been more than half awake, but he still doesn't give up.

From that day on, he no longer stared at Dujuan obsessively, but created every opportunity, waited outside the gate of the spinning mill, never approached Dujuan when he came out, and followed far behind when Dujuan came home .

He found a reasonable excuse for himself. The road was a bit dark and unsafe. He was just kindly protecting a single girl to go home, and he had no evil intentions.

People can deceive themselves, as long as they repeat it enough times, they will believe it is true.

Du Juan didn't notice Wang Kaiyun hiding around the corner, and of course he didn't know that he left quietly.

After the two got into the car, Du Juan naturally snuggled up to Lu Ming, and then reached out to touch his face.

"Why have you lost weight recently? Is there anything bothering you?" Du Juan asked worriedly.

"No, I'm still the same as before. I've been helping Chairman Sheng with some affairs these few days." Lu Ming made it up by heart.

"You can't speak so much, why don't you say that you miss Du Juan so much that you lose weight?" Zhang Ziyang, who was driving in front, laughed.

"Shut up and drive your car." The two said at the same time.

"This is really a couple, they can speak at the same pace." Zhang Ziyang laughed.

The two ignored him, Lu Ming asked about Du Juan's work in the factory, and Du Juan said something.

Du Juan asked Lu Ming again what he was doing to help President Sheng. Lu Ming could only say that he was doing nothing. After all, he could not tell anyone what he did. A Japanese, who is still locked up, helped to send a ship of munitions to the Communist Party's armed forces.

Only Sheng Youde knows everything about him. Others know one thing, but they can't figure out the others. Even Yuan Mingzhu, who is closest to him, only knows that he helped his elder brother get back the arms, but he doesn't know that he and Mr. Dong Talked about something.

"I said it's true for you two, and no one hit you two with sticks. Why did you separate? After you separated, you miss each other. Isn't this making you suffer." Zhang Ziyang was really puzzled.

He discussed the future of Lu Ming and Du Juan with Cai Lian, but he didn't understand why they had to separate now.

Cailian believes that Lu Ming must have his own ideas in doing this, whether it is his personality or the way he does things, you, Zhang Ziyang, are beyond the reach of you.

Zhang Ziyang blew his beard and stared angrily, but he couldn't come up with any reason to refute Cailian.

According to Zhang Ziyang's understanding, Lu Ming was timid, afraid that Yuan Mingzhu would be jealous, so he hurriedly sent Du Juan away.

But Yuan Mingzhu has repeatedly stated publicly that she doesn't care about Du Juan and Lu Ming being together, as long as Du Juan is willing to be her own identity.

The three came to Cailian's residence to pick up Cailian, and then found a newly opened very popular restaurant for dinner.

Seeing Cailian, Du Juan temporarily let go of Lu Ming, and chatted enthusiastically with Cailian. The sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have something private to say.

"Why don't you ask sister Mingzhu to come with me, I thought she must be there?" Du Juan asked.

She thought that Mingzhu would definitely come, and the reason why she didn't go to pick her up was because she had a car, but when the food and wine were served, there were still only the four of them.

"I called her, and I don't want to come. She has recently become obsessed with playing radio, and she is out of her mind." Lu Ming smiled wryly.

"What is a radio station? Is it fun?" Du Juan asked.

"It's very boring. Not many people like it, but she just likes to play." Lu Ming said helplessly.

Indeed, sending and receiving telegrams is a very boring thing in the eyes of ordinary people. It is nothing more than the constant repetition and combination of tick-tock, which is annoying to hear after a long time.

For some reason, Yuan Mingzhu liked the sound of ticking, ticking. To her, the rhythm was beautiful and cool, and it was more beautiful than any other music.

This kind of sound that can cross the sea and be transmitted thousands of miles away seems to have a magical power that firmly binds Yuan Mingzhu.

Cailian couldn't figure out what the radio station was, and was curious about Yuan Mingzhu's enthusiasm for sending and receiving newspapers, and didn't know what to say.

Of course Zhang Ziyang knew the purpose of the radio station, but he felt that a cold iron guy had nothing to do with fun. He really couldn't figure out how anyone would use this for entertainment.

"Du Juan, you have learned a lot from managing the factory. Do you want to open a factory yourself in the future?" Cailian asked.

Du Juan looked at Lu Ming shyly, and said, "It depends on what he thinks, I don't know."

Lu Ming laughed and said, "We'll talk about the future. It's always good to learn something from yourself. Maybe it will come in handy someday."

Cailian said: "I heard that many factories have closed down, and many rich people committed suicide by jumping off buildings. It's very tragic."

Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang were also silent. This kind of thing was reported in the newspapers almost every day.

Affected by the global economic crisis, many small and medium-sized factories in Shanghai have also closed down. Many wealthy businessmen who used to be wealthy invested all their belongings in the stock market. All their properties evaporated and they owed a lot of debts. Self-destruct.

Businesses go bankrupt, all industries wither, and it is not known when it will end.

Zhang Ziyang also lost several hundred yuan in the stock market. Fortunately, he heard from Lu Ming that he was just playing in the stock market and didn't take all his belongings into gambling, otherwise he would have to cry now.

"Our spinning mill is not bad, and it can still operate normally. Other spinning mills are struggling to make ends meet, losing money every month, and several of them have closed down." Du Juan also sighed.

"Don't worry, Sheng's Spinning Factory is the leader in the industry and will not close down. As long as Shanghai still needs spinning and weaving, even if there is only the last one left, your factory will not close down." Lu Ming comforted Du Juan.

He knew what was on Sheng Youde's mind. The spinning mill was the face of many companies in the Sheng family. Even if he lost money, Sheng Youde would not let go easily. What's more, in this economic crisis, his worth has increased by more than a hundred times.

When Lu Ming is free, he often thinks that when the stock market crashes, he should only lose stocks in the stock market. Those things are just numbers, not real banknotes, gold and silver. How could the huge wealth of the world be evaporated? ?

Did the evaporated wealth really disappear, or did it flow somewhere? Wealth is like water, it will flow according to certain laws.

After thinking about it for a few days, he finally understood that the wealth did not disappear, but was transferred to super rich people like Sheng Youde, because the law of wealth flow was controlled by them.

He even wondered whether the economic crisis was manipulated by these super-rich in order to harvest wealth around the world.

However, he is only studying law, and he doesn't know much about economics, nor can he explain how wealth harvesting is done. These are just the result of his wild imagination.

If there is a result but no process, it is not enough to convince others. You can only keep it in your heart and think about it for yourself.

"I heard from the manager that the government's taxes have increased a lot, and the factory's biggest hole now is in this area. Half of the factory's hard-earned money has been taken away by the government." Du Juan was concerned about the factory's financial situation. , I carefully looked at the account books every month, and found the crux of the problem.

Zhang Ziyang snorted, "The national government is busy recruiting troops to fight the war. Even our police station has to donate money for guns, let alone factories. If this continues, I think the country will go bankrupt."

When Lu Ming was studying in the United States, his teacher Ferlande liked to discuss national civilization issues with him after class.Ferlande said that from the land and deed tax policies of a country, we can see the degree of political civilization of the country, and we can even see the trust attitude of the people towards the country.

Lu Ming didn't understand the meaning, so he asked the teacher for the secret.

Ferlande told him that in the late Qing Dynasty in China, a literati named Wu Jianren wrote "The Secret of Getting Rich", saying that a certain person bought a piece of land in Shanghai, and his friend asked him "Have you ever transferred the land deed", and he said "No", The friend sneered: "Thanks to you being an old expert, why don't you change the land contract when buying land?"

Lu Ming didn't understand, what is a Dao Deed?Why do shrewd Shanghainese want to change the contract?

It turns out that the "Dao Deed" is a land lease contract for foreigners in China. This kind of contract must be stamped and recorded by the foreign consul and the Chinese Daotai at the same time, so it is called the Dao Deed.

In the era when there was no formal property right certificate, the land deed was equivalent to the land ownership certificate. You have the land ownership certificate, but you have to exchange it for a land lease contract (road deed) cheaply. What are you trying to do?It's very simple, the purpose is to get the protection of foreigners and avoid the exorbitant taxes of the Qing government.
