Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 66 Return (please order first!)
"I don't care, third child, I beg you, tell my parents for me, Sister Hong is a good person, I like him!"

Hearing Zhu Chuanwu's stubborn words, Zhu Chuanren wanted to take out his gun and hit him. It was so irritating.

"Second brother, you should know where my target is, right?"

"You know, Shanghai Beach, right?"

Zhu Chuanren persuaded him earnestly:

“Well, it’s prosperous there, as long as we go there and establish ourselves, what kind of woman doesn’t?
The women from the south of the Yangtze River have tender and fair skin. Wu Nong said softly that they can make people's bones crisp. I will find a good family for you when the time comes, and the matchmaker is marrying her, okay? "

Zhu Chuanwu was now a bastard who was so determined that he would not let go of the red scarf. She had to be the one to do it.

How is this different from his obsession with Xian'er in the original drama?
"San'er, I don't want anyone but the red headscarf!"

Zhu Chuanren took a breath and tried not to be angry. There was no need to be angry with the stubborn donkey.

"Let's do this. We each take a step back. How about you take the red scarf as your concubine and marry a real wife later?"

Chuanwu still wanted to refuse, but Lao San's murderous aura filled the air, making him tremble with fear.

He was scared. The third child seemed to be trying to kill himself just now.

Zhu Chuanwu murmured in his heart, feeling guilty for no reason, and he didn't even dare to look into Lao San's eyes.

"You'd better not challenge my patience, Zhu Chuanwu, a man must know the current affairs. Other men want to have three wives and four concubines, so don't you know what's good and what's wrong!"

Chuanwu gritted his teeth and said:

"I want to see Sister Hong's attitude. If she agrees, I will agree."

grass!This little donkey.

Zhu Chuanren cursed in his heart and waved his hand:
"She will definitely agree."

"how do you know?"

"Because I said it, she has to agree."

"This..." Chuanwu hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything against the agreement. He was afraid that the third child would really kill him.

He had seen a lot of Zhu Chuanren's methods over the years. He was really murderous and ruthless, and no one who offended him had a good ending.

In his eyes, there are only useful people and useless people. If he, a brother, were not related by blood, he would not have the opportunity to raise so many objections to him.

"I know, I know."

"Hmph~ Also, when you get married, don't think about neglecting others. If you let me know, see how I deal with you."

Zhu Chuanren was obviously two years younger than him, but when he got angry, he was even more terrifying than Zhu Kaishan.

"No, I won't."

"I'm taking advantage of you, kid, get out of here!"

Zhu Chuanren drove people away angrily. He had to calm down alone. He was so angry that his blood boiled and he sweated.

...

That night, the red scarf secretly found Zhu Chuanren and said with a complicated expression:

"Thank you!"

Gao Bin sneered:

"Thank me for what? If you want to thank me, just thank that stupid donkey. But you'd better have something in mind and live your own little life in a down-to-earth manner. Don't think about getting in trouble. When the real wife comes in, you can give me some money. Lower your posture, do you understand?"

The red scarf bit his lip, his eyes were red, and he nodded repeatedly:
"I understand, thank you! Thank you!"

She couldn't say anything else. Originally, she had no hope in life. She was just a puppet at the mercy of Zhu Chuanren. Unexpectedly, things turned around.

If she really married into the Zhu family as a concubine, Zhu Chuanren would definitely not let her accompany another man again. If the news spread, it would slap the Zhu family in the face.

As for Zhu Chuanren... After the red scarf made sure that no one was eavesdropping, he said softly:
"You can come to me if you need anything in the future. We'll be careful so no one knows."

Zhu Chuanren shook his head:
"Don't worry, I won't look for you again. Just pretend that what happened before didn't happen. Can you do that?"

"Yes! I can!" The red scarf was excited.

"Go back, I'll be alone~"

"Hey! Thank you! Thank you, Third Young Master."

Seeing the red scarf trotting back excitedly, Zhu Chuanren sighed in his heart. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing. Forget it, since he was here, no one would suffer.

In fact, in Gao Bin's heart, the most suitable wife for Zhu Chuanwu is Xiu'er.

Although the girl was spoiled by Han Laohai and grew up, she is very down-to-earth and can live a good life. She is not ugly, can get along in the hall, is kind-hearted at heart, and has her own persistence.

The only drawback is that she is a nymphomaniac and has a serious love brain.

But as long as she leaves Zhu Chuanwu, she can stand alone.

But it's better to be like this now than in the original plot, where she was tricked by Chuanwu and became a bad wife who was abandoned.

When he returned to the compound, the guardsmen standing guard at the door saluted him and said hello:
"Three young masters!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Walking into the courtyard with their hands behind their backs, Juan'er and Yan'er were running into the main room with a hot water basin. There were several other servants busy going around, and the Zhu family mansion was extremely busy.

Yes, if seventy or eighty people come back all at once, how can it not be lively?

Wei Chunfang likes liveliness. In the eyes of the older generation, liveliness represents the prosperity of the family. If it is too deserted, it is a sign of the decline of the family, unlike later generations who all strive to be clean.

As he was slowly wandering into the room, his ears suddenly twitched, his body instinctively turned 180 degrees, and punched out with his right fist.

"Third brother!" Chuanjie exclaimed.

Poof~ A strong punch blew from both sides of Chuanjie's face. Panic flashed in his eyes, but his body remained motionless as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points.

Fortunately, Zhu Chuanren stopped his strength in time, and his steel-like fist stopped less than two inches in front of the tip of Zhu Chuanjie's nose.

It was so suspenseful that the fourth child was almost shot in the head.

All the brothers in Zhu Chuanren's strange force escort team have seen it, and they can really compete with wild beasts.

They had seen with their own eyes that Zhu Chuanren smashed a hungry lone wolf to pieces with his pair of copper fists and iron legs.

One can imagine what consequences this punch would have if it hit an ordinary person's head.

Zhu Chuanren put down his fist and said helplessly to Chuanjie:
"Fourth brother, don't approach me quickly from behind, or big trouble will happen."

Chuanjie has grown up, his little head is bulging, and he is a lot darker, but now his face looks pale, and his neck is the same color.

"Third brother!" Chuanjie took a long time to squeeze out two words. He was really frightened.

"Haha, okay, you kid, why are you so cowardly?"

As Zhu Chuanren laughed, the fourth child forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Third brother, you really scared me just now. It was so scary. I thought I was going to die."

"Haha, isn't this nothing?"

"Can it be the same? I don't care, third brother, you have to compensate me."

"Okay, what do you want?"

"Hey, bring me some good clothes. Shopkeeper Xia is going to promote me to the counter."

"Really? You know what our fourth child is going to do, so buy, buy ten pieces, never do the same thing every day!"

"Ha~Thank you, third brother!"

The fourth child was happy, but he was still a young boy after all.

Just then Zhu Kaishan walked out of the hanging flower door and saw the two of them talking in the yard, and couldn't help but say:

"Chuanjie is back? What are you two talking about? It's not too cold in this icy and snowy world. Come inside and talk."

Chuanjie responded and pulled his third brother into the house.

...

Early the next morning, Zhu Chuanren went to Yuanbao Town with his fourth son. After walking for such a long time, he had to give some reward to Shopkeeper Xia.

He took eight brothers and drove a carriage to reach Chunhesheng before the crowd arrived.

Xia Yuanzhang had just gotten up at this moment. When he heard the waiter said that Zhu Chuanjie had brought guests, he didn't think much about it. He dressed and washed in a hurry, and took a quick bite before going to the counter.

Seeing Zhu Chuanren sitting there quietly drinking tea, Xia Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment before laughing excitedly:
"Chuanren! Are you back? Why was that boy Chuanjie in such a hurry to go home last night!"

"Haha, Shopkeeper Xia, we haven't seen each other for so many years. How are you?"

"Okay! Very good! Very good. Who in Yuanbao Town doesn't know that I have a good relationship with your old Zhu family, but no one dares to look down on me."

Zhu Chuanren smiled slightly:
"That's good, Shopkeeper Xia, do you still remember our agreement back then?"

"Of course!" Xia Yuanzhang's expression condensed, his eyes filled with joy and expectation.

Zhu Chuanren shouted at him:
"I've asked people to take me to the backyard. Could you please make a move, Shopkeeper Xia?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say~"

Xia Yuanzhang tried his best to remain calm, but his trembling fingers betrayed him.

Zhu Chuanren, who noticed this scene, didn't say anything to expose it, but his eyes turned into slits with laughter.

When he came to the backyard, Xia Yuanzhang cleared out the waiters immediately. Looking at the eight majestic men in Zhu Jiading uniforms, Xia Yuanzhang nodded happily.Just from the temperament of these eight men, he knew that his investment back then was successful.

The carriage stopped quietly in the courtyard, and Zhu Chuanren muttered:
"Carry the box to the side room."

"Yes~ Third Young Master!"

The eight men responded in unison with loud voices.

The eight people shouted out with the momentum of thousands of troops.

Xia Yuanzhang even felt a trace of bloody evil aura. How many people did he have to kill to develop such aura?
He couldn't help but take a breath and watched blankly as the man carried the wooden box into the room.

Zhu Chuanren turned sideways and raised his hand:
"Shop Manager Xia, let's talk in the room?"

"Okay! Okay! Please come to the house!"

The two of them each showed some humility and entered the side room side by side.

click!

After the two entered the door, the two men came forward to close the door and stood at the door as door gods.

No one can enter without Zhu Chuanren's permission.

"Chuaren, you really gave me a big surprise."

Xia Yuanzhang said with complicated eyes.

Zhu Chuanren chuckled:
"Where is this? Look at this."

As he said that, he opened the copper lock on the wooden box and opened it without any hesitation.

hiss! ! !
Xia Yuanzhang opened his mouth wide, as if his whole body had been struck by lightning.

The golden light was dazzling, but he refused to close his eyes for fear that in the blink of an eye, the box of gold in front of him would disappear.

"Chuanren, this..."

Zhu Chuanren ignored the shocked Xia Yuanzhang, pointed at the neatly arranged gold bars in the box, and said calmly:

"Shop Manager Xia, if I fulfill this much of the promise I made to you back then, I can still use the rest!"

Xia Yuanzhang said quickly:

"Enough, enough, too much. How many gold bars are these? It's almost as much as our Xia family's lifetime, no, two lifetimes' savings."

Zhu Chuanren kicked him:
"No more, no less, exactly 160 gold bars, all weighing twelve ounces, but shopkeeper Xia, don't mind, our gold melting level is not good enough, it doesn't look good."

Xia Yuanzhang stroked his beard and laughed:
"I don't care if it looks good or not, Chuanren, thank you!"

"It's a heretic to say this, Shopkeeper Xia, I said I would give your Xia family prosperity for the rest of their lives, and I will definitely do what I say!"

Xia Yuanzhang was still smiling, grinning from ear to ear:

"Yes, I said something wrong, but Chuanren, I really didn't expect you to be able to do this."

"I didn't expect that luck and your help are indispensable."

"It's all your own fault, I don't dare to take credit."

"Yes, but Shopkeeper Xia, I may need a few more favors from you."

Xia Yuanzhang immediately said:

"That's right. If Chuanren has anything to do, just say it. I, Xia Yuanzhang, will never refuse!"

"Then I'm sorry. The world is not peaceful now, and there will be no peace outside the country forever. Both Benzi and Lao Maozi are about to lose their brains. Once the winner is decided, our countrymen will be the unlucky ones."

Xia Yuanzhang looked solemn and nodded painfully:
"I noticed it too, Chuanren, what do you think?"

"Two years later, I will take people to Shanghai. At that time, I hope Shopkeeper Xia will come with me!"

Zhu Chuanren had already told the other party about this matter, so Xia Yuanzhang was not surprised.

"No problem. Since I have placed a heavy bet on you, I won't get off the ship easily."

"Okay! Now we have to make preparations."

Xia Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to signal:
"Chuanren, sit down and speak slowly. Please let me take a breath. With so much gold, do you know how fast my heart is beating now?"

Zhu Chuanren raised his head and smiled:

"Just get used to it, it's nothing."

The two sat down, Zhu Chuanren licked his lips and said:

"I need a group of people to go to Shanghai first to make the front stop!"

"Are you short of manpower?"

"Yes! We need management talents!"

"What business do you want?"

"Restaurant, the threshold for restaurants is low, it is easy to establish, and it can deal with all kinds of people. Using Chun Hesheng's resources, we can provide delicacies, and we should be able to open up in Shanghai very quickly."

Xia Yuanzhang thought for a moment and nodded:
"I agree with the idea, and I also have candidates. You go on."

"When the time comes, I will send ten brothers there first. Your people will be responsible for the operation, and my people will be responsible for the escort. Just half and half will be enough. We will try to open branches in every area of ​​Shanghai within two years."

Xia Yuanzhang had mixed reactions and immediately guessed Zhu Chuanren's intention:

"You want to build your own intelligence agency?"

"Yes! In today's world, information is king. I don't want to end up blind when I get there!"

Xia Yuanzhang nodded and reminded:

“But if you want to truly establish yourself in Shanghai, it’s not enough to just rely on restaurant business!”

"Haha, we have come up with an idea. How about Shopkeeper Xia tell us what kind of business you think is suitable for us to do and can achieve a monopoly!"

There are many tycoons in various industries in Shanghai, including cloth tycoons, salt tycoons, and steel tycoons.

Zhu Chuanren also needs to become a tycoon, but which industry can make money and improve his status without being coveted by small bookmakers is a 'philosophical' question.

First of all, we must not do anything that is easily related to the military, such as shipping and steel.

But it’s not easy to think about making money, having status, and reducing the chance of dealing with bookmakers.

Xia Yuanzhang began to think deeply. For a moment, the sound of needle dropping could be heard in the wing room. Only the open wooden box was still glowing with golden light.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xia Yuanzhang’s eyes gradually recovered and he looked at Zhu Chuanren:
"I have an idea."

"Oh?"

"How long has it been since you had candy?"

"Candy?" Zhu Chuanren was stunned for a moment, and seeing the playful look in Xia Yuanzhang's eyes, he couldn't help but say:

"Shop Manager Xia, please stop being so secretive and just tell me directly."

It can't be just the sugar industry. This thing is indeed hugely profitable, but in the next two to thirty years, the sugar industry in the Eastern Continent will basically be controlled by the book, and there will be no room for intervention.

"Sugar is a good thing. Who doesn't want to eat something sweet during the Chinese New Year? But pure white sugar is hard to buy, and ordinary people can't afford it, but what about candies?"

Zhu Chuanren suddenly realized:
"Shopkeeper Xia has a good plan. This thing is a derivative. It will not be valued and plundered by big shots, nor is it a particularly important strategic material!"

Xia Yuanzhang nodded slightly:
"That's right, but the profits of this business are very high, which others can't imagine."

After all, Zhu Chuanren has a modern consciousness and is well-informed. Does he know that the sugar-derived industry is not just candy, but also a more important branch-chocolate!

"I have no opinion!"

"In this way, we will send more people to Shanghai to establish a foothold in restaurants. At the same time, I will be responsible for inquiring about imported raw materials and machinery and equipment."

Zhu Chuanren nodded and said:

"Then it's hard work for Shopkeeper Xia, but we brothers have settled the score, how will we arrange this job?"

Xia Yuanzhang chuckled and said:

"I knew you had to say this, but you are right. Distribute the benefits in advance so that there will be no conflicts in the future. Chuanren, I, Xia Yuanzhang, am a businessman. If you expect me to fight with others, no one may be able to fight."

After a pause, he sighed:

"But in this world, saving life is more difficult than making money, and there is no one else in my family except Yushu. She and Chuanjie are very good. Sooner or later, I will marry your brother. At that time, no matter how much money I make, don’t I have to follow Yushu into your house?”

Chuanren smiled and shook his head:

"I'm not greedy for Yushu's dowry."

"That's what I mean, Chuanren, I have a request. I hope you will seriously consider it and discuss it with your father."

Zhu Chuanren stretched out his hand to signal:
"If you need anything, Shopkeeper Xia, just ask."

"If, I mean if, Yushu gives birth to another boy in the future, can he inherit the surname Xia?
I know this request is a bit excessive, but as long as you can agree, just give me [-]% of my share, never ask for more, and this share will definitely belong to your old Zhu family in the future. "

Seeing that Xia Yuanzhang was a little agitated, Zhu Chuanren quickly comforted him:

"No, I, Zhu Chuanren, am not an unfaithful person. I said I will ensure the prosperity of your Xia family for the rest of your life, and I will definitely do what I say.

I personally have no objection to this matter, but my father needs to allow me to discuss it with him. After all, the older generation has different ideas than me. "

Xia Yuanzhang cried with excitement, holding Zhu Chuanren's hand and shaking it:
"Hey! Okay! Thank you! Thank you! Chuanren, really, thank you!"
