Chapter 68: Someone from the Lu Family(1/2)

Huize in June is not too hot yet, with moderate temperature and cool breeze.
On the road from Huize County to Lishuping, Xiaoqingshan County, there are several cars driving. One of them is a limited-edition Chinese brand car trial-produced by Shusheng Company. The few cars behind are older models.
Imported American cars.
The biggest feature of this kind of car is that its shape design is relatively similar to the style of 21st century cars. Although it is limited by craftsmanship, various indicators and aesthetics are far inferior to 21st century cars, but compared with the mainstream of this era
The shape of the car has become much stronger. It has a fully enclosed streamlined body, and the four unsightly wheels are properly half-hidden under the body. The design of the lights and wipers are also unique, plus other reasonable features.
The unique vehicle design style made this model equipped with a new engine receive unanimous praise from domestic and foreign experts from automobile manufacturers as soon as it was produced.
The only shortcoming is that it is currently produced by hand, and the production line will not be able to form assembly line production capacity until the beginning of 1924, provided that the construction progress of the new supporting new rolling mill and new engine plant can also keep up.[
There were four people sitting in the Zhonghua model car driving in the second parking space. The driver and the guard were in the front, and Zhang Shusheng's personal secretary Lu Yunyan and a man and a woman were sitting in the back seat.
Both men and women have good temperaments. The man has a face with a Chinese character, about 30 years old, and looks like a soldier. He is wearing a Mao suit from the south, exuding a tough atmosphere. The woman is in her mid-20s, wearing
The little dress is really good, and it exudes the temperament of an aristocratic lady. Although her face is far less beautiful than that of Lu Yunyan next to her, her whole person still exudes the demeanor of a lady.
"Yunyan, your place is much better than expected. Originally, my mother was afraid that you would be wronged if you followed Zhang Shusheng, but now it seems that you will be the happiest among the sisters." The one who spoke was the elder.
The man dressed as a young lady expressed a sense of relief in his words, "Look at the car we are riding in. It is much better than the one we rented from the foreign company. Even the one at home can't compare."
The man listened to the two girls talking and looked at the traffic outside the car. Although there were not many cars, the few trucks that could only be seen in Guilin were everywhere here, and they were still very strange models.
They drove forward without forming a line. He counted. Within an hour, at least twenty or thirty large trucks, fully loaded and covered with tarpaulins, had passed by. What were they transporting? Could they be rocks?
?
The blackened marks on the road told him that this high-quality road was brutally run over by cars every day.
Looking back at some of the details inside the car, the decoration inside the car is not luxurious, but it is very detailed. For example, the seats are made of black leather, and there is a stack of soft papers with napkins written on them in the small storage compartment on the side.
There were several bottles of glass. Some of the liquids were light green, and some were dark red. Just now I heard Yun Yan say they were called tea drinks or delicious drinks.
"Brother, let's have some drinks. It tastes good. These are trial production and can't be bought outside." Lu Yunyan took out two bottles of drinks, one bottle of green tea, one bottle of Coca-Cola, and some
I took out 3 ceramic cups. The road to Lishuping was very well built. The thickened chassis of the small car made the car drive very smoothly and there was no fear of spills.
"Wow! This green tea is delicious. I'll try this Coca-Cola again." Lu Yunyan's cousin took a sip of green tea. This kind of drink has not yet been mass-produced. The factory has been built and will be sold next month.
The Southwest and Central China generation is aimed at the middle class. The same products will also be produced and launched in the United States simultaneously through Pan American Ken's International. In addition to running around to help Zhang Shusheng do errands every day, Kenneth is thinking about his own
5 shares, how much are they worth now? He doesn’t even have to manage them. Whether he’s white, yellow or black, almost all of his employees are sent to him by God. All he needs to do is run around and count money.
"Cousin, this is Coca-Cola. I don't know if you are used to drinking it. This is produced by Shu Sheng's patent and beverage factory in the United States. It is expensive and cost a lot of money." Lu Yunyan always hoped that his cousin and cousin would
In order to have a better impression of Zhang Shusheng and the Dongchuan area, I picked up some important things to talk about.
"The green tea tastes pretty good, but this Coca-Cola tastes a bit weird, and I don't like it very much." Lu Yunyan's cousin Lu Yunlun is a person who means what he means and is very upright, so he was chosen to come here as a family representative.
"My cousin is right, Shu Sheng said the same thing. He said Chinese things are better, and foreigners should pay for foreigners to buy and drink them. I'll pour you some orange juice." Lu Yunyan said happily.
, but I didn’t know how shocked my cousin and cousin were.
A warlord in a small area actually had money to buy a factory in a foreign country, and it also produced some kind of beverage. At this time, shouldn't a warlord who has some money should use it to buy guns and medicine to gather troops and occupy territory?
If this person is not sick, then he is a genius in a unique way.
"Zhang Shusheng actually went to a foreign country to buy a factory. Does he have a lot of money? I think it would be better to buy more machine guns and cannons, just like dad." Lu Yunyan's cousin Lu Yunwen said quietly, "Dad just said that more people and more guns is the right thing to do.
. Only if you follow him can you live a happy life. Aren’t we in China just trying to compete with who has the strongest soldiers and horses?"
"I don't know. Anyway, he shouldn't be short of money. I don't care about these things. Hehe, the main thing is that I usually don't spend money." Lu Yunyan smiled and leaned on his cousin's shoulder.
"Aren't you short of money? I think it's because there is nothing to buy in this small place. After all, you are also my father's favorite niece. In Guilin, it is common to wear gold and silver. Look at it now, not a single one of you can make a sound.
Things." Lu Yunwen said with pity. "Also, you are already talking about marriage, but you don't even know how much money he has. Be careful of your children suffering in the future."
"My good cousin, okay, don't say it. When you get to Lishuping, take a look. The supply and marketing cooperative has everything. Although he doesn't use anything expensive, the ones he gives me are the best.
Yes, do you think my skin looks good? I use the latest brand of facial cleanser."
"Facial cleanser? Is this this kind of thing?" Lu Yunwen opened her carry-on bag and took out a small white bottle and asked. She had just spent a lot of money on it because she was worried that her skin would be damaged by the fatigue of the journey.
Bought in Guilin.
"Cousin, do you also use this Luoshen brand facial cleanser? Look, mine does too." Lu Yunyan also took out a bottle, but it was obvious that both the packaging of the bottle and the trademark label were much more refined...[
"It's different. Your bottle is much prettier. How much does it cost? Mine is very valuable."
"Hehe, I don't have to pay for it, but others are buying it. The latest facial cleanser costs 120 yuan a bottle in China." Lu Yunyan pointed to the new label on the bottle and introduced the differences of the new model.
"So expensive? I only spent 80 yuan on this bottle." Although 80 yuan made the frugal Lu Yunwen feel very sad, he didn't expect that the price was half the price of the new Luoshen facial cleanser.
Lu Yunlun also interjected curiously: "How much does it cost to sell abroad?"
Lu Yunyan shook his head, "I don't know how much it sold specifically. He said it seemed to be at least the same amount." One thing she didn't say was that Zhang Shusheng put the same facial cleanser in different bottles and divided it into multiple packaging levels.
There are several price points, and the highest price would scare people to death. But the one Lu Yunyan knew was only the poor-level price.
It can be said that cosmetics are one of the biggest profits of Shusheng Company. Zhang Shusheng did not even tell Lu Yunyan that in order to confuse the ingredients, he added several strange trace ingredients produced by the Dream Machine, which led to a fundamental analysis by Western laboratories.
Without discovering the active ingredients of cosmetics, we can only try to develop other similar cosmetics, but the effects are much worse.
"That's not expensive. Alas. It's so expensive in China, but the price is the same abroad. It's true, Zhang Shusheng. It's not good to worship foreigners. The economy of the West is tens of millions of times stronger than ours." Lu Yunlun, who didn't know what happened, complained.
.
Lu Yunyan chuckled, "Cousin, don't think too much. The same price doesn't mean it's only 120 oceans, it's 120 US dollars. And it's the lowest grade."
"..." Lu Yunlun hesitated, thinking that Zhang Shusheng's business was really not that ordinary.
The motorcade drove forward for a while and gradually entered the boundary of Xiaoqingshan Mountain. Lu Yunlun looked outside, a little strange, "Yunwen, you said when we came from Guilin, why was the spring corn so different from the field outside the car?"
There are so many. The corn in other places along the way is short and small, but the corn here is obviously growing much better."
Although he is a rich man, he still understands the quality of crops.
"Yeah, and look at that eggplant, that bitter melon is so long too. Yeah, brother, look at those tomatoes that are as big as a small bowl, they are almost red. These are much bigger than anything I have ever seen.
.”
Lu Yunwen exclaimed there. Lu Yunlun looked at the scene outside the car, but fell into deep thought. What he had seen and heard from getting in the car to now, whether it was crops, cars, trucks, drinks, or the things his cousin told about
, which made him have more guesses: Zhang Shusheng is so extraordinary and capable.
"Squeak!" A gentle brake sound sounded, and a small motorcade stopped at the entrance of the militia headquarters. The place built back then has now been divided into three large areas, covering an extremely large area. The twin buildings of the year have also become
It became a triangular building. The three districts are adjacent but completely separated by high-walled power grids and wide police avenues. One is the headquarters of Shusheng Company, the other is the headquarters of the vigilante group, and the other is the Dongchuan District Government. Except for Zhang Shusheng, who is located in the triangular building
The office at the top is outside the connection point of the three major areas, and the others are far apart. For safety reasons, there is nothing we can do.
"salute!!"
The gate where the convoy stopped is the gate of the militia headquarters. Fifty meters away from the gate is the security line. At least one company of soldiers from the security regiment is on guard duty.
When the brother and sister Lu Yunlun saw the soldiers lined up on guard saluting, and an officer walking over with a soldier carrying a strange gun, they couldn't help but wonder what they were going to do.
Seeing the battle in front of them, both of them were secretly frightened. Apart from anything else, these guards alone were far behind the Guilin military government.
"Hello, please show me your ID!" The officer saluted Lu Yunyan first and said seriously.
Lu Yunlun and the two secretly wondered why their cousin was so close to Zhang Shusheng and was also the secretary of the militia. Didn't the guards know someone he saw every day? Did he still need to check his ID?
With a natural expression, Lu Yunyan took out his ID and handed it over. It simply said: Secretary Lu Yunyan of the Headquarters
"Secretary Lu, your ID. Who are these people?" The officer carefully checked the ID and then handed it back to Lu Yunyan with both hands with an expression on his face. He looked at the Lu Yunlun brother and sister and the motorcade behind him and asked.[
"These are my cousins from my hometown. They came to see District Chief Zhang. Secretary Gangmao said that the District Chief had come to the militia headquarters, so we came over to see if it was okay. We will wait for him at the door." Lu Yun
Yan said with a smile.
"Sorry, please wait a moment, Secretary Lu. The division commander's itinerary is top secret, I will report it to the superiors." The officer ran back to the duty room in a few steps, ran back after a while, saluted and said: "Secretary Lu, the division commander already knows, he said
It's a bit urgent, so I'll go back later and let us entertain the guests first."
"Okay, thank you." Lu Yunyan turned around and left.
"Secretary Lu, wait a moment. The division commander said that the distinguished guest is here. We have to receive it well. Please wait a moment with the distinguished guest!" The captain of the guard regiment immediately ran back to the guard room, dialed the internal security phone again, and then,
Walking back, "Wait a moment."
Brother and sister Lu Yunlun were thinking, what are they going to do?
The answer soon became clear.
"beep……"
Two car horns sounded, and then two large military vehicles and several two-person motorcycles were seen driving from a distance. They were filled with heavily armed soldiers. They looked majestic and turned out to be two platoons just dispatched by the guard regiment.
.
The car lowered the tailgate, and the soldiers jumped out of the car in an orderly manner. Then they lined up and ran over behind the motorcycles.
"Reporting to the leader, the Guard Regiment Platoon and B Platoon are ordered to come to greet the distinguished guests. Please let the VIP car go first along with the guard motorcycle." A major of the Guard Regiment put his feet together, snapped a salute, and said something that almost made Lu Yunyan
If you faint from happiness.
This damn ghost, in order to take care of his own face, actually did this, and he was not afraid of being ashamed.
