Let’s talk about Qin Di and Yan Xue. After leaving Jiuzhaigou, they arrived in the Demon City on October 10.

Subsequently, he issued instructions to several companies: Mingzhou Home Textiles, Cathay Pharmaceutical Factory, Shenlong Bicycle Factory, Wanguo Watch Factory, and Qinshi Grain Industry Magic City Branch. All five companies were suspended from work. Each of the senior staff was paid three years of salary, middle-level staff paid two years of salary, and low-level staff paid one year of salary. Those who were willing to leave the Magic City and transfer to the west could start work immediately in the Qin family's name. Those who were unwilling to go were asked to do so.

After the factory received the order, many people were confused from top to bottom: "What's going on? Why did the good factory suddenly stop working?"

"Who made the decision? I have to give an explanation for the big thing here?"

"It is said that it was an order given by Master Qin himself. I don't know what disease he had committed."

"No, he is not an upgraded father? Why is he becoming more and more erratic?"

"It's over, Mingzhou Home Textiles is 100% controlled by the Qin family, and Qin Hancheng has retired. The Qin family is currently under the control of the eldest son of Qin. What he said will inevitably be implemented and there is no way to turn it over!"

Some people were worried: "I have worked in the saokuan for ten years, and I can't do anything else except that! Did Mingzhou home textiles collapse like this? What's the reason?"

Someone was very happy: "Haha, I still have a year's salary if I don't go to work! This is a good thing that I have nowhere to look for when I'm holding a lantern!"

Many people are mixed: "It is good to get a salary for a year, but what about it in a year? Should I find a new job? I must find it! The Qin family has a high salary, and there are bonuses at the end of the year... Alas, I really don't want to leave..."

It’s not okay to leave. After the workers receive the severance payment, all these factories will be closed!

Mingzhou Home Textiles has more than 5,000 people, but suddenly closed down, causing a great impact, and even entered several newspapers.

In the following days, many people were talking about it.

"I heard that the Qin family closed five companies in one go, causing tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs! This is a big deal!"

"According to my observation, the Qin family is the weather vane, and Qin Da Shao has the luck. Does the closing of home textiles in Mingzhou mean the economic recession of the Magic City?"

"What recession? Go out and have a look. The streets are crowded with people and department stores are crowded with customers! This is the best era, the most prosperous city will never decline..."

"I always feel frightened. What's going on? Master Qin is the Lieutenant General appointed by Mr. Qing. If he is a fool, wouldn't he mean Mr. Qing also a fool?"

"You are so crazy. You actually made it clear that Mr. is a fool! Be careful of being shot and knocked down!"

"However, the Qin family is still kind and righteous. It actually gives a one-year severance payment, which can be said to be unprecedented in the Demon City!"

"I'm just a lower-level worker a year. If I'm a senior manager, each person will pay three years of salary! You said, why didn't I encounter such a good thing?"

"Ah! In this way, Young Master Qin is not optimistic about the next three years? We must also prepare for the future!"

There are really such alert people. When they see the Qin family sacking workers, they will go to the street to buy a few bags of flour, or dig a hole in the yard and bury the treasure.

Half a month later, another article appeared: "Mingzhou home textiles are left with empty shells! Qin's Grain Store has no grain of rice left!" The reporter said that he quietly interviewed the gatekeepers of these two companies, saying that the valuable equipment in the factory was gone, and there was only one empty shell left. Qin's Grain Store had 100,000 tons of reserve grain, but it was quietly transferred, and not even a bag of grain was left; the porridge sheds that had been used for many years outside were also removed!

As soon as the newspaper came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Some people took a breath and rushed to buy food!

There were many people coming to the entrance of some grain stores, rushing to buy food.

Of course, most people are still relatively numb and do not react in particular. They think that the demon city is calm, so how can the Qin family transfer the reserved grain? The demon city is short of food? The demons are all big cities in the Far East, and there are ships for transportation from all over the world at any time! As long as everyone has a month of food at home, they don’t have to worry about the silence in the future!

At this moment, some signs without end suddenly appeared on the street, with scarlet paint on it: "The Japanese army will enter the concession"!

Seeing those notices, the rich people in the Magic City were panicked!

"Which god is this scaring person? I will not let people live? I finally escaped from Wuxi and have only been in peace for a few years. Do you want to escape again?"

"This time, I can't escape even if I want to! The outside is blocked by the Japanese!"

"If even the concession cannot stop the Japanese soldiers, where can China escape in such a huge amount of China?"

In any case, the number of people fleeing abroad began to increase in the next few days.

But if people can escape, how can they escape?

Therefore, many rich people can only stay in the demon city and put their treasures in Tibet.

Among the companies under Qin Di's name, EDA Company and Phoenix City Casino are still open, but only second- and third-rate singers are working. The singers who signed long-term contracts have already gone to Chongqing after each of them gets a sum of money. If they are unwilling to go to Chongqing, they are also asked to take a temporary vacation and leave the Demon City to hide for a while.

Zhou Tianlin, general manager of EDA Company, is still in the Magic City, but vice president Zhang Qimin has already gone to Chongqing.

Qin Di opened a branch of Baidai Company in Chongqing and is mobilizing people to produce new records.

In addition to these companies, Qin Di also notified people he knew to evacuate, including Qin Jian, Qin Bo, Zhang Congyu, Pang Laichen, Zheng Zhenze, etc. As for the two uncles, the eldest uncle Zhu Zeduan went to Chongqing, and the second uncle Zhu Zeming went to the United States; the two aunts, Zhu Min followed Zhang He to Chongqing, and Zhu Ling fled from Suzhou to the Demon Capital, and had no contact with the Qin family, and Qin Di didn't care about her life or death. The Du family's sisters were not in the Demon Capital, Du Rong went to Nanyang, and Dulan went to the United States.

On December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

At 4 a.m., the Japanese army took an attacking action and sank the British gunboat "Haiyan" anchored in the Huangpu River. The American gunboat "Wick" surrendered. The Japanese Navy gradually advanced inward from the Bund. In the morning, all bridges on the Suzhou River were blocked, and only the Japanese army was allowed to pass through these bridges from Hongkou into the public concession. The central area (east of Tibet Road) was under the jurisdiction of the navy; the western area (east of Tibet Road) was under the jurisdiction of the army. By noon, the Japanese army withdrew their posts and opened the bridges on the Suzhou River to the Chinese, but Japanese expatriates were prohibited from crossing the bridges south, and Western expatriates were also prohibited from crossing the bridges.
