Chapter 5 The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month

January 21, 1937, the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 26th year of the Republic of China.

It is advisable to: bathing, opening a warehouse, shipping money, opening a business, trading, setting up a coupon, buying a car and picking up a wealth, planting, collecting livestock, pastoral raising, hunting, burying, breaking the ground, and burying.

Taboo: pray for blessings, marriage, and set up a bed to move into a new house and move into a new house to build a ship.

Guan Shijie endured 21 days on the Peking Stock Exchange. During these 21 days, he was worried almost every day, worried about gains and losses, fearing that he would remember the time of the second stock market crash in the Republic of China. Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei were also worried with him.

Although these two people entrusted them to Guan Shijie for operation, they still went to the exchange to check the stock market every day. They were relieved to see that Shanghai cotton sha had risen sharply and fallen sharply every time.

At 10 a.m. on the 21st, they finally waited until each bag of Shanghai cotton yarn rose to 290 yuan. As soon as the trader wrote 290 yuan on the blackboard, Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei asked the traders they entrusted to sell out their stocks.

Just less than ten minutes after they sold, each bag of Shanghai cotton yarn fell to 280 yuan. After that, the stock plummeted, falling to 210 yuan. As for the closing price that day, it was no longer a matter of Guan Shijie and the others were concerned about.

Guan Shijie received a dividend of 74,000 yuan from Miao Qinghou, and Lu Yunfei received a dividend of 21,000 yuan after deducting the loan and interest of Guan Jiayoufang. All three of them were happy.

That night, Miao Qinghou held a banquet at the Peking Hotel, and also called Lu Yunfei.

Over the past twenty-one days, Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei have also met on the exchange. Lu Yunfei knew that Miao Qinghou was the young owner of Dahua Trading Company, while Miao Qinghou only knew that Lu Yunfei was Guan Shijie's friend, and did not know the background of Lu Yunfei. Later, Guan Shijie told him the origin of Lu Yunfei.

Before Miao Qinghou took over his father as the chairman of the Dahua Trading Company, he always despised the market hooligans. But since he became the chairman of the business, he realized that some gangsters really couldn't afford to provoke them. For example, there are often scoundrels who extort money and cause trouble in the store of the business. Although the business has also managed various places, the effect is not very good.

After several contacts, Miao Qinghou felt that Lu Yunfei could become a climate in the underworld, so he asked Guan Shijie to take Lu Yunfei with him.

Lu Yunfei is the nephew of Zhang Ba of Dongbatian and Zhang Dequan. He ranks sixth in his family. He graduated from the Peking Police College. He worked as a police officer for three years and was expelled from the police force for abuse of lynching and accepting bribes. Later, he was in charge of the casino and money house for Zhang Ba. Because of his resourcefulness and ruthlessness, people in the martial arts world called him the White-faced Yan Luo Lu Liu Ge, and his subordinates all called him Liu Master.

If you are not afraid of heaven or earth, you are afraid of hooligans being educated.

Since Lu Yunfei took over the business of casinos and money houses, not only has its territory expanded, but its turnover has also increased. In addition, the military and police circles have also won some connections, and the limelight has almost overshadowed his uncle Dongbatian Zhang Ba.

Lu Yunfei also wants to make friends with more high-ranking people to increase his value.

Miao and Lu both knew each other tacitly and wanted to get to know each other. Therefore, Guan Shijie became the bond between them.

That night, the three of them whispered to each other, and drank happily, and they were all over the place. Although it was not a heart-to-heart communication, it was considered that they had fewer glasses of wine, and they didn’t say anything more than a single sentence without speculation.

When the wine was half over, Lu Yunfei suggested that the three of them follow the example of Taoyuan Sanjie and form brothers of different surnames.

Miao Qinghou clapped his hands repeatedly and said that Guan Shijie was not convenient to refuse the three of them got drunk and had enough food. After they got into Miao Qinghou's car, they went to Shanghetang Money House on the east side of the sky.

Lu Yunfei ordered his two men to find incense and candles to offer sacrifices. The three of them knelt in front of the statue of Guan Erye and took blood to form a alliance, saying something: I don’t want to be born on the same day of the same year, I hope to die on the same day of the same month of the same year, and I hope to be blessed and difficult to share the same family, and I will officially become brothers of different surnames.

Lu Yunfei was the eldest brother at the age of 26, Miao Qinghou was 23 years old, and Guan Shijie was the second brother at the age of 3 months on his birthday, and Guan Shijie was the third brother.

Guan Shijie struck while the iron was hot and told Miao Qinghou and Lu Yunfei that he was humiliated by the Shen family's father and daughter, and that he also wanted to do a rice shop business, which squeezed Shen Wenxiao's business, but he didn't know how to operate it.

Lu Yunfei said: "This is not easy to deal with. I sent some brothers to stir up his business every day. It won't take long before the old guy's rice shop closed."

"It's not right. I just want to use my strength to let the Shen family's father and daughter know that I, Guan Shijie, are open and honest, robbed the Shen family's business. Besides, Zhao Jian has a military background and seems to have a prominent family background. I am afraid that my elder brother will cause unnecessary trouble for my little things." Guan Shijie said.

"What my third brother said is reasonable. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This matter must be discussed in the long term," said Miao Qinghou.

"Okay, let me listen to my brothers. I have a few brothers in the police station to ask for help. I will let them explore the bottom of Zhao Jian." Lu Yunfei said.

The three of them drank tea for a while before they went home.

When Guan Shijie returned home, he took out 98,500 yuan silver notes and told his parents about his experiences over the past twenty days. Mr. Guan Qi almost didn't believe his eyes and counted the silver notes over and over again. His mother sighed while wiping tears, and muttered in her mouth: Blessing of Bodhisattva.

Guan Ruoyu, a little girl who is in junior high school, also shed tears with her mother.

The eldest sister Guan Ruoyun also walked out of the room and comforted her mother and said, "Brother has paid off the money, so we are happy for the whole family."

The eldest sister attended the Peking Conservatory of Music. Like the younger sister, the school was on winter vacation. The family was busy, so it was rare to get together to talk.

The whole family must be neatly organized. Guan Shijie suddenly thought of this sentence.

In the era when Guan Shijie traveled through time, because of family planning, his brother was the only one fighting alone. Now he had two more sisters, which made him very happy.

Guan Shijie thought to himself that in this era, he not only needs to take good care of his family, but also needs to do something. How to do the future has not yet been considered yet. Do the present and then proceed step by step.

Every man is responsible for the crisis. He wants to contribute his own strength to the Chinese nation and this devastated country.

That night, Guan Shijie tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and he thought a lot.
