NOVEL WEB Chapter 87
"As we all know, the term"Shiliyangchang" is another name for Shanghai in the old society. In the old society, Shanghai was a place of drunkenness, decadent music, and chaos, including all forces."
"The bright lights and the bizarre, the foreign concessions, the prosperous city, the Paris of the East, the city that never sleeps!"
"As the saying goes: The foreign land is full of fireworks, and the wind and clouds come to Shanghai. A hero can catch a tiger alone, and he can open up a new world with his bare hands."
"Today, I want to tell you about a man who was a great hero in Shanghai eighteen years ago. His surname was Cheng and his name was Cheng Daqi."
"Cheng Daqi was originally a clerk in a fruit shop. He first joined the powerful police inspector Hong Shouting and worked as a thug in a casino. Then he was recognized by Hong Shouting's wife Ling Husheng, who helped him to quickly rise to prominence."
"Although he was born as a nobody, he was quite skilled in the underworld. Not only was he brave enough to fight, but he was also good at negotiating with all parties and willing to share interests. He could often turn hostility into friendship. He soon emerged on the Shanghai Beach and attracted the heart of Shanghai's most beautiful woman, Yichunyuan Abao.……"
"…………"
On Nanjing Road, He Daqing was accompanying Chen Xueru to learn about the situation of Shanghai silk shops and tailor shops, and was suddenly attracted by the story of old Shanghai told by the storyteller not far away.
The Green Gang boss Cheng Daqi, the first beauty in Shanghai, Abao, the inspector of the patrol room, Hong Shouting...
OK.
Another familiar figure.
If there is no guess, Cheng Daqi mentioned by the storyteller should be the protagonist of"Big Shanghai" starring Chow Yun-fat, a gangster boss who is more perfect than Xu Wenqiang in"Shanghai Beach".
He is very affectionate to his lover, very loyal to his brothers, and very loyal to his country. Even the ending of holding the beauty in his arms and smiling at the rain of bullets and dying generously is much taller and more glorious than Xu Wenqiang who died under the random gunfire on the street.
The prototype of such a"perfect" gangster boss may be Du Yuesheng in Shanghai at that time.
After all, there are many influential figures in the foreign land. Looking at the Republic of China, apart from the underworld, the white world, the concessions, the political parties and warlords, the gang leaders who can turn the tide are indispensable.
But the only one who can really be called a big boss and can vaguely match Cheng Daqi is probably the Green Gang leader Du Yuesheng in the real world.
Just like Bai Jingqi of Baicaoting in"The Mansion Gate", there is a corresponding Le Jingyu of Tongrentang in the real world.
They are all characters created based on real people.
"It’s just…reality and illusion, reality and film and television, true and false, are they really that important?"
"What was once false has become true, and the truth has turned into a memory of the past. In this case, who dares to say that this world is false?"
"In other words, why should I bother myself with how many film and television dramas have been integrated into this world, how many film and television characters have been born, what the future plots will be like, etc.?"
"I think, therefore I am. Since my thoughts exist, it proves that I am real at this moment. I am He Daqing, and He Daqing is me."
"I am real, He Daqing is real, Chen Xueru is even more real, and Shazhu, Xiao Yushui, Guan Shan, Zheng Wentian, etc. are all real people with flesh and blood, their own thoughts, not just data or puppets."
"In this case, why should I bother myself with how many film and television worlds I have integrated and what the future will be like?"
"Why spend all day trying to figure out the truth? It would be better to just lie down. Just like what Lu Shuren said: Life is like that. Since you can't resist it, just lie down and enjoy it.
"
"The truth of the world is too far away, and the level of the chef system is too high. There is no need to worry about these things."
"Life is short, and every second you can live is a second, and every day you can enjoy is a day. As long as you have done everything you can and enjoyed everything you should, your life will not be in vain."When
He Daqing thought of this, he felt that his mind was extremely clear, and his whole body seemed to be sublimated. All the worries and concerns in his heart disappeared in an instant.
There is a saying that goes:"Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up."
As long as I choose to lie down, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do.
"Let's go, let's go to the next one!" (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Just when He Daqing was realizing the truth in Shanghai and decided to give up and lie down, he suddenly heard a gentle and charming greeting in his ears.
It turned out that Chen Xueru had already learned about the situation of this silk shop and was ready to go to the next one.
In her words,"It's not easy to come to Shanghai, I must understand the situation of my local colleagues."
"We want to see what kind of silk people in Shanghai like and what styles are popular. When we go back, we will try to make some and put them in silk shops to see if they sell well."
"If the customer really likes it, then just prepare it and save yourself the trouble of figuring it out."[]
He Daqing couldn't help but understand when he heard this.
Isn't this just like writing online articles in the future? All the articles in the world are copied. As long as I'm fast enough, I can kill the original ones.
The same is true for fashion design.
What patents or not.
Our country is not named like this now. As long as the things sell well, who cares who designed it first?
Can the things between craftsmen be called stir-fry 703?
At most, it's just mutual reference.
So, from eight o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Chen Xueru hurriedly pulled He Daqing to start the store exploration trip.
First from Nanjing Road West, then Nanjing Road East, and then to Shanghai Department Store and other prosperous places, preparing to explore all the famous silk shops, tailor shops, etc. in Shanghai, and learn more experience and skills.
He Daqing naturally would not object to this.
After all, being able to marry such a smart and capable wife is definitely a blessing from eight lifetimes. If the wife wants to work hard, can he, as a husband, still hold her back?
So He Daqing could only risk his life to accompany the gentleman, and strolled around Shanghai with Chen Xueru.
During the period, if they saw something they liked, they would just buy it.
After all, prices are cheap these days, and we are not short of that little money!
Buy too many things and can't carry them all?
Then just call a tricycle to follow, and when you return to the hotel, you can deposit them and ask the post office to mail them back to the city. They will definitely not be lost.
That's it.
The two of them went out at eight in the morning and strolled until eight or nine in the afternoon before returning. By the way, they also enjoyed the night view of the Bund. They almost wore out their legs, but at least the trip to Shanghai was not in vain..
