The reason why the magic capital is the magic capital is because she is full of magic power.

Since it became one of the five trading ports during the Ming Dynasty, it has gradually developed.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the incompetence of the government, the area was occupied by various countries, and concessions were established, and the development was even faster.

In 1920, the economic scale of Magic City ranked sixth in the world and first in Asia.

The International Hotel, which is already under construction, is 80 meters high and has more than 20 floors. In the coming decades, it will remain the tallest building in the Far East.

The public concession centered on the British and American concessions, as well as the French concession, formed the two major centers for the economic development of the magic capital.

Zhou Zhen asked An Changquan to acquire the Oriental Daily News in the French Concession. It is now at the upper middle level among the more than 300 newspapers of all sizes across the country, barely making it into the second echelon.

The film company he founded is located next to the big world in the public concession, which is also the most prosperous area of ​​the magic capital today.

The Great World, which opened in 1917, occupies an area of ​​nearly 15,000 square meters, with cinemas, theaters, juggling, shopping malls, Chinese and Western restaurants, arenas, dance halls, and so on.

Numerous entertainment projects are mainly divided into "Expo World", "Food World", "Amusement World", and "Competitive World".

In particular, the Big World Arena in the "Sports World" is the largest and most professional competition venue in the Far East, capable of hosting various professional competitions and Guinness Records.

After Zhou Zhen learned these things, he asked An Changquan to arrange the headquarters of the film company not far from the big world.

Apart from being able to find some famous prostitutes from the big world to act in movies, Zhou Zhen also wants to take a closer look at the level of boxing in this era.

No, when someone raised the sign of the sick man in East Asia, he also wanted to raise his country's prestige.

In the residence of Demon Capital, An Changquan bought a former consulate in the French Concession.

This house occupies an area of ​​five acres, with a two-story main building, a Suzhou garden-style garden, and several servants' rooms.

It hasn't entered the 1930s, and the price of this house hasn't been soaring.

What's more, Zhou Zhen, as the prime minister's son, also received a certain discount.

It took eight hours to travel from Jinling to Demon Capital, and it was already evening when An Changquan received this house in the French Concession.

Both Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian were very satisfied with this house. Although it was not as big as the prime minister's residence, their number was much smaller.

A few people live in this house, and it seems a little deserted.

Bai Xiuzhu fell in love with this house at a glance, and lingered in the garden. "It's so beautiful, the air here will be much moist, Brother Seven, let's live here for a long time."

Zhou Zhen gently pulled a green bamboo and looked at this beautiful garden, small bridges, flowing water, and goldfish swimming around in the shallow pool under his feet. He was also very satisfied.

"As long as you want, we can live in the world and destroy it."

Bai Xiuzhu didn't know that this world belonged to a semi-illusory world, and how could women of this era withstand such sweet words and couldn't help but lean on Zhou Zhen.

"Seven brother, I'm like dreaming every day."

Zhou Zhenchang sighed and put his arms around her shoulders. "Then I will let you never wake up in this dream."

An Chang's body is old-school. He couldn't see men and women making affection in the public. He couldn't help but coughed and said: "Seven Masters, when you arrive at the Demon City early today, you will take a rest for a while, and you will replenish your energy tomorrow, and the old will take the young master. Meet people from all walks of life in the magic city and agree on the time for the banquet."

Zhou Zhen withdrew his mind, Wen Sheng said to Bai Xiuzhu: "You go to help Ma Jiang to assign servants, I will discuss matters with the elderly first."

Bai Xiuzhu hummed, smiled with Zhou Zhen, and then turned around to salute An Chang's whole body, and left gracefully.

Zhou Zhenchang breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the blue sky for a while, and turned around and said: "Elder An, I have read all the information about people from all walks of life in the capital of the Demon City that you have brought to the capital. Before coming, my father also told me that you are An absolutely credible person."

An Changquan respectfully said: "The old man entered the Jin family at the age of twelve and has lived for nearly forty years. In this life, he has no idea of ​​leaving the Jin family."

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "I asked you to take the free position of bank supervisor, but now you are here to help me prepare the newspaper, the bank, you have worked hard."

"Banking affairs are in order, the old is just taking a place, and people are all gone. Now that the magic city is here, this colorful world is really lingering."

Seeing that An Changquan was not dissatisfied, Zhou Zhen said carefully and earnestly: "Father is in the officialdom, but he lacks arms and supports him. The main purpose of running a newspaper in the French Concession is to speak for his father. The rest are all subsections."

An Changquan said: "The newspapers and magazines want to make Zhang Yan for the lord, they must first survive, then expand, and finally Zhang Yan."

Seeing that An Changquan has a clear mind, Zhou Zhen said with satisfaction: "The elderly is very thoughtful, and Yanxi doesn't say anything about it. Dongfang Daily is pleased to take care of the elderly."

An Changquan pondered for a while and asked: "The young master doesn't seem to value newspapers too much, but he never forgets the film company. Is the importance inverted?"

Zhou Zhen smiled and said: "There are elderly people in control of the overall situation, and Ouyang from the capital will assist the elderly in a few days. I am relieved. I will be lazy for two years and enjoy the glitzy life of Shanghai."

After all, Jin Yanxi occupied by Zhou Zhen was only seventeen years old, and An Changquan was actually a little worried about his superior eye and low hands. Jian Zhouzhen didn't intervene at all, and his heart was relieved.

He relaxed and said: "Knowing that the young master is coming, the city hall, the French Concession Public Board, the Public Concession Ministry of Industry, the Overseer's Office, and the old business people from all walks of life have also contacted here. Master, do you see when the event will be held? prom……"

"Have you ever counted the number of people? Where is the magic city suitable for holding a dance? I count them all, and then I decide to hold a reception dance."

"good."

Having determined these important tasks, Chief Anquan prepared to retreat, and then remembered and asked: "Seven masters, the magic capital is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is more chaotic than the capital. The master only sent you four guards with guns. I am afraid it is not enough. Don't let the Overseer House send another team of guards?"

"I'll talk about it later, let me get familiar with the situation here."

An Changquan arrived early, and ten servants have been recruited in the Golden Mansion, but except for the chefs, they are all temporary.

If you want to work in the Golden Mansion, you can't do it with hard work. Bai Xiuzhu and Jiang Ma tested each servant, and removed four untrustworthy ones.

An Changquan called, and soon, the broker company arranged ten more servants for them to choose.

Zhou Zhen did not intervene in these matters, and asked Xiao Lian to move all the newspapers collected by An Changquan in the first half of the year to the study, arrange them according to the date, and start reading the newspapers.

Most of the information in the world is actually disseminated through the public media. The key is to learn how to wash the sand in the waves.

Without special guidance, it is difficult to filter out a half of the true information from a hundred pieces of information.

Although Zhou Zhen didn't know much about this aspect, he didn't need to be familiar with professional information. He read the newspaper only to understand the general environment of the era of the magic city.

This is not real history, but a world made up by the author.

For example, there is no threat of war, such as a flower shop, such as an active economy.

Only by understanding this place can we survive and develop better.

But in many places, it is not much different from the real history. Such as concessions, such as gangsters, such as sales feast...

From the late Qing dynasty decades ago, banquet sales have become the most profitable industry.

The sale of big banquets in other places has been controlled, but where there are concessions, big banquets are still coming in continuously.

The more he understands, the more he feels that the world needs to be transformed, but he doesn't think he has this ability.

In the wave of the times, one's power is too limited.

If you close the door, he will feel that this era is very enjoyable. Women regard men as their heaven, but when you open the door, he will feel very depressed to see foreigners showing off in this country.

When I was in the capital, I still didn't feel that when I came to the magic city, this feeling became even stronger.

He kept telling himself in his heart that this is not real history, this is not real history...

Bai Xiuzhu came over with a cup of strong tea, put the cup on the table, and frowned Zhou Zhen. "What's the matter? Don't watch it if you are unhappy."

"If you are not happy, you have to look at it. I don't know how much unevenness is hidden behind this bustling."

Bai Xiuzhu sat in his arms and put his arms around his neck. "Seven brother, you have changed so much this year. I think you will be happy for the rest of your life, so we can take care of our little family."

Zhou Zhen put down the newspaper. "I'm fine, it's just a momentary feeling. After understanding the situation in the capital, we can also develop our business better. Tomorrow, you will go to the New World to see how big this largest gold-selling cave in the Far East is!"

Bai Xiuzhu laughed. "I'm afraid you will not have enough wallet in the future, so I won't let me go..."

The soft lips fell on his face, sweet smelling. "After walking on the road for four days, let's take a good rest today..."

The door was knocked, and Xiao Lian pushed open the door. "Master, all circles in the magic capital know that you are here, and they have sent people to send greetings and gifts. Come out and have a look..."

Zhou Zhen patted Bai Xiuzhu's Hong Leong, she immediately stood up straight and helped Zhou Zhen tidy up her clothes. "My father now has a high reputation and he is expected to take over as president. The magic capital of all walks of life used to be unable to find a way to curry favor, but now it is convenient."

Zhou Zhen helped her stroke her hair and said, "You and I are not short of money, and the gifts you receive are nothing more. If you have cash, count it and donate it to charity in a few days."

"Okay." Bai Xiuzhu was not a greedy person in the first place. She also knew that the first demons needed to build their reputation. After Zhou Zhen pointed out many things, she knew what to do.

Thinking of this, he thought of Bai Lianhua again. If he married her, it would take a lot of energy just to run in with two people in different environments.

Marrying Bai Xiuzhu is indeed the most correct step.
