Against this background, Qin Di lived in seclusion in the Demon City, practicing silently, and supervising his companies.

He grabbed a lot of treasures from Tang Yulin, but those treasures were not visible. The gold and silver combined were worth 70 million oceans, and part of them were allocated to his subordinate companies, such as collecting shares of "Mingzhou Home Textiles" and increasing the shares he controlled to 75%.

In addition, he also set up a watch company.

Watch companies have high technical content, and they cannot make watches with Qin Di and domestic strength alone.

Historically, it was not until 1940 that there was a bell factory in China and a watch factory that only existed after liberation.

However, in foreign countries, the technology of watch manufacturing is already very advanced.

The watch industry in the United States was once very developed, and it was not until several years later that it was surpassed by the Swiss watch industry.

According to Qin Di's request, Old John looked for a bankrupt watch factory in the United States, but found a "hampden wath pany" and bought it for $3 million.

Logically speaking, where can a bankrupt factory be worth so much money? The reason is that this watch factory still has a large number of parts.

Old John packed the equipment, parts and parts of the factory, together with some technical workers, to the Magic City.

Because the Great Depression in the United States is still very serious, many people are unemployed and unable to find jobs, and the Demon Capital is the largest city in the Far East, so many Americans are willing to come to the Demon Capital and try a different life.

Therefore, Qin Di established a company called "Wanguo Watch Factory", which specializes in the production of "Wanguo Brand" watches and pocket watches.

In these days, watches and pocket watches are all popular. The generals in the movie had to check the watches before the final battle, and those pocket watches were all imported.

On this day, Zhang Naijing took his wife and children back to Qin Mansion.

He looked at Qin Di with envious eyes and said, "Tsk tsk, you have such a good vision and good luck. It is admirable to be able to seize such an opportunity! I even think that the watch industry is better than the automobile!"

Qin Di said: "Each has its own strengths. China currently lacks purchasing power, so cars cannot be popularized. Watches and bicycles are not affordable for everyone."

Zhang Naijing said: "Think about it, how much population in China is? If each person has a watch or a bicycle, how much money can you make?"

"Hmph, I contribute to the country! Why do I need so much money?"

"Tsk, you are such a greedy person, and you still want to deceive me? I have seen through your essence! You can't get up early without profit, you are talking about people like you!"

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say I want."

"I heard that someone got a ranking of wealthy families in the Republic of China, ranking the Qin family in fourth place!"

"Is that so? Who made the list? Put my Qin family on the pig killing list?"

Zhang Naijing smiled and said, "This is a dictator from Tang Jishan, and it was published in the tabloids. He said that the top ten richest people in the Republic of China were the Song family, the second was the Kong family, the third was the Jiang family, the fourth was the Qin family, and the fifth was the Chen family... My Zhang family was also on the list, ranking seventh... Originally, Zhang Xueshan ranked second, but his family was stolen and turned into poor haha..."

Qin Di frowned slightly: "Tang Jishan? This man is so dying, how dare you mention my Qin family?"

Zhang Naijing said: "Tang Jishan's father, named Tang Qiaoqing, is a comprador who does tea business. Tang Jishan is a British student and is well versed in marketing. In order to break the monopoly of Jardinet Foreign Company, he began to inspect the tea market in Britain and the United States and found that there were huge profits.

After Tang Jishan returned to China, his father came forward to summon major tea merchants from Modu Beach. In 1916, he raised 100,000 yuan to jointly establish the "Hua Tea Company". He entered the American market with small-packaged "Tan of Heaven" and "Beauty Brand" tea, and sold it in department stores opened by overseas Chinese.

In 1925, anti-British trends were launched in various parts of China. Because dock workers boycotted not to ship tea for foreign companies, Huacha Company took the opportunity to rise and obtained exclusive operating orders from the American Carter Company with the advantage of quality and low price. It exported 60,000 boxes (1,900 tons) each year, accounting for 18% of the total tea exports in the Magic City at that time, and it was in a stalemate with foreign companies such as Jardinet, Union, and Jinlong.

Since then, Huacha has become the largest tea export company in the mainland, and Tang Jishan has been called the "Tea King".

I heard that he recently abandoned the movie star Zhang Zhiyun and got very close to Ruan Lingyu."

Qin Di frowned and didn't say anything.

Tang Jishan is a master of playing with actresses. Before Ruan Lingyu, she had a relationship with actress Zhang Zhiyun, but was later ruthlessly abandoned by him. After Ruan Lingyu, he lived with movie star Liang Saitian, and later married the beautiful queen of the Republic of China, the You family.

Except for Liang Saizhen, who resolutely left Liang Saizhen, the other three women all ended up in a miserable way: Zhang Zhiyun wandered on the streets of Hong Kong and became a woman in chaos; Ruan Lingyu committed suicide; Wang You's family died of poverty and illness, and there was no burial fee.

As a female star killer, Tang Jishan's ending was not much better. In the 1960s, his business in Taiwan went bankrupt and became a street vendor. He was selling tea bags along the street every day in order to make a living.

Qin Di didn't want to care about this kind of thing at first, so he didn't even interfere in Xu Zhimo's death, so how could he interfere in Zhang Zhiyun and Ruan Lingyu's affairs?

Zhang Zhiyun was the queen of films in 1926. She was originally in love with the famous director Bu Wancang. Since she became the queen of film, she has frequently gone to social places and experienced the luxurious and luxurious foreign life. After meeting Tang Jishan, she broke up with Bu Wancang.

At this time, Tang Jishan, a married man, also wanted to take advantage of her reputation as a film queen, so she lived with her, took her to travel Europe, and then went to Hollywood, USA, and launched a propaganda offensive. With the call of "Chinese Tea Emperor" and "Chinese Tea Queen", they published advertisements everywhere, allowing Zhang Zhiyun to endorse the Huashang Company, which caused a sensation.

Zhang Zhiyun innocently thought that she could become a businesswoman from now on, washing her hands and making soup. However, she was not recognized in the United States with a low level of education. After leaving the film industry, her fame in the mainland was getting worse day by day. Tang Jishan began to dislike her and soon began to look for other beauty.

During the "January 28th" Incident in 1932, the Japanese army invaded the Chinese border in Zhabei, and the warehouse of the Huacha Company was blown up. At this time, Huacha's business in the United States gradually shrank. Tang Jishan turned to export tea to Africa and often stayed in Hong Kong to negotiate business.

At this time, in order to avoid the war, the famous actor Ruan Lingyu also stayed in Hong Kong for a while. After Tang and Ruan met at a dance party, Tang Jishan was obsessed with Ruan Lingyu and used all her skills to pursue Ruan Lingyu, often asking her to dance in a hotel.

Ruan Lingyu is the most influential actress of the Republic of China. Her death is even more sensational than Weng Meiling in later generations. So when talking about this era, we must talk about this person.
