Chapter 196: Family Affairs
9.196 Family Affairs
From Wuhan to Chongqing, the straight-line distance is 756 kilometers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoDue to the extremely poor roads in Sichuan Province, it usually takes more than ten days to walk by car, and there is such a distance between Meng Shiqing and Huang Haoran.
As a result, on November 20, 1937, the Nanjing government announced that it would move to Chongqing and then officially office in Chongqing on December 1, Chongqing began to become the wartime capital of China, and its political, economic, military and cultural status was increasing day by day, and the price of real estate was also increasing day by day.
Under the guidance of Huang Haoran, the Huang family began to sell the properties in Chongqing at high prices in batches, and the asking price was basically more than five times the price of similar real estate in Chongqing at that time! And there is no fiat currency, as long as the gold ocean or the dollar!
At first, the old man of the Huang family was worried that the price that Huang Haoran wanted was too high, and it would be difficult to find a buyer, but after only a few months, the old man of the Huang family suddenly found that the price of the property sold by his family began to be somewhat favorable to the market price, and the buyers were in a long queue!
Although the command center of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was still in Wuhan at that time, with the relocation of the Nanjing government's capital to Chongqing, the industrial and mining industries, institutions, schools, mass organizations, social organizations, and news units in the eastern coastal areas moved to Chongqing one after another, and a large number of well-known people and celebrities from all over the country also frequently traveled to and from Chongqing and other parts of the country. These celebrities and celebrities have quickly pushed up the price of real estate in Chongqing, especially those relatively high-end single-family houses, which have been chased by celebrities and celebrities with rich family properties, basically one price a day! After Huang Haoran learned about it, he instructed his family to change the price with him, except for the requirement that no fiat currency remain unchanged, the higher the selling price, the better!
But even so, before the Spring Festival in 38 was about to come, the properties sold by the Huang family could only be sold out, and in this feast of skyrocketing real estate prices, the Huang family's investment of more than one million yuan became more than eight million yuan, and they still held a large number of properties in the suburbs of Chongqing and surrounding counties.
After the Spring Festival in '38, Huang Haoran instructed his family in Chongqing to start selling properties in the suburbs of Chongqing and surrounding counties at high prices, still not charging fiat currency, as long as gold oceans or US dollars. Only this time the price has only doubled from the time of acquisition, and it will not increase again in the future.
Mr. Huang once again expressed his incomprehension, and as a result, Mr. Huang Haoran sent a telegram to sue Mr. Huang that the real estate purchased in Chongqing was intended for the rich, so no matter how high the price was, he was not afraid, anyway, it was easy for those so-called celebrities and celebrities to make money.
The properties bought in the suburbs of Chongqing and the surrounding counties were sold by ordinary people who had just fled to Wuhan from the occupied areas, and because they did not have access to information from the upper echelons and trusted too much in the fighting power of the national army, most of them had already left their property in the occupied areas.
"There is a way to get rich!"
These four words are the latest comments given to Huang Haoran by Old Man Huang in the summer of 38, and it is obvious that Old Man Huang is extremely satisfied with his general's son!
After the autumn of 38 years, with the intensification of Japanese aggression, the new temporary command center of the Nanjing government, Wuhan, an important city in central China, was in danger. On 16 July, the Military Commission of the Wuhan Government decided: "The Executive Yuan, the Central Party Headquarters, the National Council for Political Participation, and the Supreme Council of National Defense should be relocated to Chongqing as soon as possible." The next day issued an urgent order ordering all central organs stationed in Han to be relocated to Chongqing within five days. In accordance with this order, the Kuomintang party and government heads and their responsible persons who had previously moved to Wuhan began another large-scale westward move, and from July 18, the various departments of the Kuomintang Central Committee moved to Chongqing one after another; In mid-November, the Military Commission decided to move all military offices stationed in Nanyue to Chongqing.
This was a great migration from east to west of the Chinese government and the national capital.
Nowadays, Chongqing, an ordinary city located in the southwest inland, has undergone unprecedented and earth-shaking changes in its history due to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War: it has leapt from a regional military town to become the ruling center and activity center of the country's politics, economy, military, culture, diplomacy and society, from a mountain city located in eastern Sichuan to an internationally renowned city with the same name as New York, Moscow and London, and from an ancient commercial city to the most complete categories, the most advanced equipment and the most products in China during the war. The industrial base with the largest production volume has leapt from a regional city that was previously unknown in national affairs to the nerve center that commanded the Chinese people in the war of national liberation -- the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which was the first great victory in a century against foreign invasion.
At the same time as Chongqing's political, economic, military, and cultural status underwent the above-mentioned remarkable changes, Japan's aggression against China also began to fall into a quagmire, and after being wiped out by many army divisions and regiments by Chinese generals such as Huang Haoran, Xue Yue, and Chief Li, Tokyo's conspiracy of "quick victory" and "quick peace and quick conclusion" has basically completely failed!
In 1937, after the Japanese launched the "77" Lugou Bridge Incident and quickly occupied Beiping and Tianjin, they were dazed by the instantaneous victory. The Japanese Cabinet decided to "abandon the previous policy of non-expansion and plan for all kinds of preparatory measures necessary in the wartime situation." This was followed by a wild cry from Japanese imperialism that would force China to lose all its ability to resist within three months.
The loss of Shanghai, the economic and financial center of China, and Nanjing, the political and military center, made the Japanese invaders even more proud, and the Japanese military at that time confidently assured its high command and the Japanese government: "As soon as Nanjing is lost, the supreme authorities will give in, and the China incident will be over." ”
In the face of the arrogant Japanese, the Nanjing government had no choice but to make the decision to move the capital to Chongqing before the fall of Nanjing, in accordance with the established policy, in order to show the Chinese government's determination to "engage in a more protracted battle on the largest scale in the future," thus shattering the Japanese dream of "actively attacking the west, capturing the Chinese capital, and forcing an alliance under the city."
In order to coordinate with the offensive on the frontal battlefield, to undermine the social and economic order of China's rear, to destroy the manpower, material, and financial resources of the rear, and to shake the determination and confidence of the people in the rear to resist the enemy, so as to achieve the goal of forcing the Nanjing Government to make peace with it, from 1938 onwards, Japanese imperialism flagrantly violated international conventions and carried out a prolonged period of brutal bombing of important cities in the rear.
The bombing carried out by the Japanese planes in the rear of China not only inherited its previous "sabotage of important political, economic, and industrial central organs." Moreover, the most important thing is to directly attack the citizens by air, causing great terror to the enemy people, and frustrating their will" The basis of the attack strategy has also been raised to a new strategic level -- "suppressing and disrupting the enemy's strategic and strategic center, and secretly cooperating with the navy in an effort to annihilate the enemy's air force." ”
In accordance with this strategy, the Japanese emperor authorized Prince Zaihito, chief of the general staff of the base camp, to issue a new directive to the commander of the Japanese army invading China -- "When attacking the enemy's strategic and strategic center, it is necessary to concentrate forces and deploy excellent aircraft, especially to capture and destroy the enemy's supreme commander and highest political organs." In order to achieve the goal of "thwarting the enemy's will to continue fighting."
As a result, Chongqing, the center of China's wartime political, economic, military, cultural, diplomatic, and social activities and domination, bore the brunt of the Japanese army's main strategic bombing targets.
The bombing of Chongqing by Japanese planes during the Anti-Japanese War began on February 18, 1938. However, the bombing failed to enter the urban area, but was completed at the Guangyang Dam dozens of kilometers downstream of Chongqing, and the damage caused was only three houses destroyed and three people injured.
But this bombing has brought an unimaginable blow to Chongqing's real estate market, and people finally realize that the real estate they bought in Chongqing, which is far away from the front line, is not safe, and it is likely to be blown up by the devil's bomb! So after this bombing, Chongqing's real estate prices began to fall sharply! It is not uncommon to see in the newspapers the news that businessmen who ate real estate at high prices and were ready to make a big profit had to flee to the Japanese-occupied areas one after another after going bankrupt!
And the Huang family, who has sold out of the high-priced real estate in the city early, naturally survived the real estate crash safely! Huang Haoran once again showed his magic!
Since then, Mr. Huang decided to withdraw from the stage completely, and he handed over all the economic power of the Huang family to Huang Haoran's fiancée Meng Shiqing, and lived a fairy-like life.
Being able to take charge of the financial power of her husband's family is definitely a huge affirmation of a woman! But after Meng Shiqing took over the Huang family's financial power, she didn't seem too happy!
After noticing the sadness between Meng Shiqing's eyebrows, the old lady of the Huang family found Huang Haoran's mother to ask the reason. Huang Haoran's mother didn't know the exact reason, but only inferred that Meng Shiqing's heart disease was mostly related to rumors that Huang Haoran was going to marry Yang Sen's daughter Yang Wenna, and Mrs. Huang wanted Huang Haoran's mother to confirm with Huang Haoran whether it was true, but she only got a reply: "The second big can't help the mother", the old lady was about to have a seizure, but was blocked by Huang Haoran's mother's next sentence: "People outside say that marrying a Manchu Gege will harm my son, and I don't know if it's really ......" was blocked.
As soon as she heard that marrying Meng Shiqing would affect her grandson Huang Haoran, the old lady had no idea in her heart! In the end, as long as he simply hung things up, but because he felt sorry for Meng Shiqing in his heart, he treated Meng Shiqing very well in life, and the monthly silver rose again and again, and gradually reached the number of five hundred oceans per month!
You must know that in 38 years, the monthly salary of a governor of the Wuhan government was only 560 yuan, which means that Meng Shiqing's monthly example in the Huang family was to get the level of governor of the Republic of China! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
