Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

The year is over with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu...

The Spring Festival of the 27th year of the Republic of China arrived as scheduled, neither too early nor too late...

International Settlement...

In the 20th century, Shanghai was known as the top entertainment venue.

Almost everyone will think of a place.

Paramount...

Paramount can be said to be a benchmark for entertainment venues.

One of the founders of the most luxurious nightclub in the Far East was Miss Sheng Qi, the sister of Sheng Enyi, the most prodigal son in the Republic of China who lost the entire Nanjing Road in one night.

The Paramount was once the most upscale consumption venue in Shanghai, without a doubt.

Here, a two-hour afternoon tea session alone costs one dollar, and the night session starts at two dollars.

Moreover, during major holidays such as Christmas and Spring Festival, tickets are sold for as much as fifteen dollars each.

Grabbing money...

You have to know that a worker’s monthly salary is less than fifteen yuan, and here it’s just the price of a ticket.

In 1936, due to poor management, Paramount was forced to go bankrupt and reorganize. Finally, Paramount was taken over by businessman Yu Kefei.

Yu Kefei learned from the failures of his predecessors and made great changes in entertainment.

Not only do they hire professional bands, they also occasionally invite popular singers to perform.

Even the nightclub dancers were selected by him personally.

This reform really brought back the glory of Paramount, which became a famous den of money in Shanghai.

He also has unique management skills and is good at using both kindness and strictness.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Kefei took the sealed red envelopes and went to Paramount to distribute New Year's red envelopes to employees.

At ten o'clock in the morning, after arriving at the Paramount, Yu Kefei came to the office and immediately instructed his assistant to gather the employees.

Afternoon tea at Paramount starts at 12 o'clock and ends at 2 o'clock.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all on-site staff had already begun to make preparations.

Yu Kefei took out a stack of sealed lucky money from his handbag and prepared to distribute it after the morning meeting.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.

Assistant Zhao Dabao ran in with a panicked look on his face.

"Dabao, what happened? Why are you so flustered?" Yu Kefei said with some dissatisfaction...

Zhao Dabao let out a heavy breath and said, "Boss, this is bad."

"Sister Yue, Sister Ke'er and the others went to protest with the students..."

"Protest march..." Yu Kefei felt incredible.

It is understandable that this kind of thing happened to a group of young, passionate and justice-filled students.

What are you dancers doing here to join in the fun?

As if seeing through Yu Kefei's doubts, Zhao Dabao took out a copy of the Times on February 17, 1938...

The Times is a revised version of the British Daily Globe Record.

Founder John, Walter, Editor-in-Chief Greg, Rogers...

Originally, it was only found in England. As more and more British people came to China, many of them could not read Chinese characters.

Therefore, in 1932, at the request of the British Consulate in China, the local Times newspaper specially dispatched a group of newspaper staff to establish the Chinese version of The Times in the concession.

Originally this was an all-English newspaper, catering specifically to the British.

However, being in China, the sales of the all-English newspapers were barely enough to cover the daily expenses of the newspaper, and the embassy had to subsidize the newspaper.

The embassy was also troubled.

Therefore, starting from April 1, 1934.

Except for the front page which is in English, the rest of the content of this newspaper is all in Chinese.

The writing style of this newspaper is very bold, covering everything from current political affairs to civil disputes.

The content of today's second edition is even more jaw-dropping and shocking.

The headline on page two was a report from French journalist Miss Hayley.

It's called "Redemption of the Fallen"...

However, not only the Times, but also the Shanghai-listed Shenbao, the Economic Times founded by the American Walter Roth, and the Shanghai Times founded by the Frenchman Lott and Goethe published the same article at the same time...

In an instant, the entire Shanghai market became lively...

French Concession, International Hotel...

When Chen Yang saw the report in Shen Bao, his face turned green.

This report was not long, with only more than 700 words telling the story of how the Japanese captured the city of Jinling and surrounded the Jinling Women's House, where tens of thousands of refugees were trapped.

The leading Japanese officer asked the Jinling Women's Nursery to voluntarily donate one hundred women to serve the imperial soldiers.

If they don't agree, the Japanese will forcibly abduct the women inside...

After many negotiations between the Dean of Discipline of the Women's College, Ms. Vautrin, and the Japanese, finally, twenty-one prostitutes on the Qinhuai River voluntarily stepped forward and went to the Japanese military camp.

In the end, only one of the twenty-one people survived.

But the Japanese did not abide by the agreement and did what they should do...

Chen Yang was instantly excited when he saw this report.

Isn’t this report the plot of Zhang Yimou’s future movie “The Flowers of War”?

Mad, guard day and night, but you can't guard against thieves in your own house...

Chen Yang could easily guess that Haley must have read the diary and photos in the box when she wrote that report.

"Even the latest safes aren't safe. Love really hurts. Why would I use Hailey's birthday as the password?"

"No, those things must not be kept in the store." Chen Yang was startled and hurried back to the store.

Take your large suitcase and head straight to Xiaotong Bridge.

Treasure House..

"Afu, is there any place in the warehouse where we can store secret materials?" Chen Yang asked Afu breathlessly.

"It's New Year's Day, what does Boss Chen want to put?" Ah Fu stretched and asked curiously.

Today is New Year's Day. It's a rare day off, but I was woken up by Chen Yang early in the morning.

Workers have such a hard life...

"Don't ask so many questions, just tell me if there is..." Chen Yang seemed a little impatient...

"Of course there is," Ah Fu put on his clothes and took Chen Yang to a corner of the warehouse. He lifted the floor and revealed a hole in the ground.

"Boss, is this okay..."

"Okay," Chen Yang said without further ado. He stuffed the suitcase into the hole in the ground, and after doing everything he did not forget to instruct Ah Fu.

Don't tell anyone you've seen this box.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang put on his hat and ran away in a hurry.

Ah Fu muttered to himself, wondering if Boss Chen had some serious illness, as he had to come here so early in the morning to do this...

After returning to the French Concession, Chen Yang rushed to George's garden house without stopping.

"Chen, do you want to wish me a happy new year so early in the morning?"

"According to Chinese rules, should I give you a red envelope?"

"It is said that as long as you are not married, you can all receive red envelopes." George saw Chen Yang coming and was in the mood to joke with him...

"Where's Haley?"

"Hailey is still sleeping, what's wrong?"

What's wrong? I'm in big trouble.

Chen Yang said seriously: "George, take Haley to the French Embassy as soon as possible."

"Remember, don't come back without my call..."
