On the way back, Lin Youde was looking forward to seeing some bandits and bandits on the one hand, but on the other hand, he didn't want too many bandits to come at once. He didn't want to risk his life and property. The best situation was to come.
The fighting power of a few ignorant thieves was just enough to be beaten away by the servants and butler Wang Tianlin who were following them. Then Lin Youde could try out the new skills he just selected in a safe range.
It is a pity that the team returning from the outing includes not only Xia Fanglan, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, but also many young masters and ladies who are local gangsters in Guangzhou. There are almost two dozen people in the village group following the action, not counting the big knives, spears, darts, red tassels and spears, just long and short spears.
There are only a dozen of them. How could a robber be so ignorant as to rob this group of people?
Not only was the return trip uneventful, but for almost a month, Lin Youde didn't get a chance to use his new skills. In fact, after the initial excitement wore off, Lin Youde was more interested in experiencing real bullet time.
He wasn't very interested in the matter anymore. According to his opinion, the best and best situation would be to encounter no dangers on the way to success, and the skill of acumen should never be put to use.
Originally, the purpose of choosing the self-defense department was to have a goddess who was loyal to him, and he had to choose a summon from the figures that Lin Youde owned in the original time and space - Lin Youde had graduated from university for so many years, and he had accumulated a lot of figures.
Quite a few, and some of them were played with so much that their surfaces were polished. Being able to summon these girls in real life was too attractive to Lin Youde.
The attraction is great, so Lin Youde shouldn't be in a hurry. If he releases that skill too early, it will be too eye-catching, and if he has no power, having another goddess will be dangerous - maybe some big force will take a fancy to Lin Youde's god.
Ji, wipe out Lin Youde with just a few clicks and snatch Shen Ji away. He, Lin Youde, will not do such things as making wedding clothes for others.
In the days after returning from the outing, Lin Youde concentrated on running his board game business. He first used the reason that "it can gather young people and facilitate the connection of aspiring young people", and then copied a lot of them from marketing masters such as Drac.
The theory finally convinced Wang Tianlin, and he got a teahouse under the Xia family's name that was running poorly, became the shopkeeper, and then changed the teahouse into a board game salon.
Then Lin Youde took no effort to persuade Xia Fanglan to invest part of the New Year's money he had saved into shares. This money was used by Lin Youde to completely renovate the teahouse, doubling the interior of the purely Chinese-style teahouse.
Pure Baroque style.
The waiter, Lin Youde, resigned: Of course, a maid is required in a Baroque-style salon. The chef will not be able to be replaced by a Western pastry chef for a while, so he will temporarily replace it with a chef who is good at making Cantonese desserts. Naturally, the tea served has also changed from
Pu'er Tieguanyin, which is common in Guangdong teahouses, was replaced with black tea and coffee. Lin Youde also gave full play to the wisdom of time travellers, equipped the salon with a machine for grinding coffee beans, and provided hand-grinding coffee service - it is stylish for customers to grind it themselves.
If you have good taste and let me do the grinding for you, then you know how to enjoy it. Why don’t you do it with me? You are a dead otaku and haven’t run away!
The classic marketing ideas of later generations were stolen by Lin Youde and became his own.
Now that he had obtained Xia Fanglan's private money, it was natural that he could not use pieces of paper as tools for playing board games. In the name of the Xia family, Lin Youde invited a wood carving master to make a batch of identity cards for the killing game. The front and back of the cards were
They were all carved with exquisite patterns. Wang Tianlin didn't understand this very much, thinking that these things were "just toys like Pai Gow" and could be played with casually. Lin Youde said, "This is the 'style' we sell."
After everything was arranged, the board game salon ushered in the first day of opening. For this day, Lin Youde instigated Xia Fanglan to send a bunch of invitations to the rich young people in Guangzhou. As a result, all the rich and handsome men with spermatozoa happily came to jump in and help Lin Youde.
Stirring up the atmosphere. The young men and ladies who went on an outing that day and experienced the fun of future board games also came spontaneously, and each brought a group of friends: it turned out that after they returned from the outing, they all enthusiastically promoted this fun game among their friends.
It’s a fresh game. Now that I heard that the creator of the game has opened a restaurant, I naturally came to join in the fun.
So the grand opening day was unprecedented. Lin Youde left all the entertainment to Xia Fanglan and the girls he had personally taught for a few days, while he hid behind the scenes to watch the situation.
Lin Youde has done everything he can. The rest depends on whether the charm of the killing game itself is as effective in this era as it was in another time and space, and whether the marketing ideas introduced from the future can really "sell ice to the Eskimos"
” has magical powers.
In contrast, Lin Youde did not have to worry about the effect of Xia Fanglan's smile and generously exposed breasts. During the period of preparing for the board game salon, Lin Youde used Xia Fanglan's chess piece skillfully and fully implemented the decision he made at the beginning of the time travel.
The basic route to making a fortune out of vases.
Originally, Lin Youde was worried that Xia Fanglan had already reached the age of marriage, and there was an endless stream of dignitaries coming to propose marriage every month. What if Lin Youde didn't make full use of Xia Fanglan, and the eldest lady got married?
It wouldn't be a big problem for the eldest lady to be intimate with Lin Youde, but it would be a big problem if Xia Fanglan becomes someone else's eldest mistress and she doesn't have a clear relationship with him, Lin Youde.
Now that he, Lin Youde, owns this salon, and his status has risen from a low-ranking boy to a shopkeeper, he is not too worried about Xia Fanglan getting married again - at most, he can eat her chastity before she gets married, and then it will be nothing.
Sorry.
As for guilt, Lin Youde might have had it in the past, but now Lin Youde is a time-traveling man who has used cheats. That unreliable white-faced golden finger has caused a fundamental change in his state of mind. The truth is actually very simple.
It's similar to playing games. If you open cheat code and directly modify the money value to play a game, you will be bored and delete the game after a short time, and then invest in other games. Only when you spend a lot of time playing it yourself
Only by leveling up bit by bit, saving money and accumulating equipment, will you become emotionally attached to the game. The game may still be in your computer after being released for several years.
For Lin Youde, who has traveled more than four months, Xia Fanglan is just a vase. All the girls who are not immune to Lin Youde's pretty face cheats are vases, and they can be abandoned after using them. However, Xia Fanglan's vase is too exquisite, and Lin Youde cannot part with it unless necessary.
Throw it away, it’s still great to keep in your room for eye candy.
It's a pity that it doesn't matter whether Lin Youde can keep Xia Fanglan. He has just been promoted to shopkeeper. The old man of the Xia family wants to marry off Xia Fanglan. He can only watch from the side and can't do anything.
So while overlooking the bustling hall of the salon in his room, Lin Youde began to think about finding an opportunity to eat Xia Fanglan. After thinking about it, the biggest obstacle still came from Xia Fanglan herself, not because he was afraid of her resistance-that kind
It is basically impossible for things to happen. What Lin Youde is worried about is that after the marriage is over, Xia Fanglan will not marry and will only follow him. What if she wants to elope or something, then it will be over? It is not easy to open this board game salon, for a
Just give up on the vase girl, but Lin Youde doesn't want to do it. He hasn't "invented" Three Kingdoms yet, he hasn't "invented" Yu-Gi-Oh yet, and the board game business around the world is still waiting for him to expand.
Want a beauty rather than a country? Are you kidding me? If you have a country, why don’t you worry about a beauty? On the other hand, a guy who loses his country for a beauty will end up losing both his beauty and his own life.
After thinking about it, Lin Youde decided to forget it. If it's yours, it can't run away. If it's not yours, it won't be your turn anyway.
There is no doubt that Lin Youde's board game salon was a great success on the first day it opened, and it was busy with customers for nearly a month.
These days, foreign gadgets themselves represent fashion and trends. In addition, Lin Youde also added some post-modern marketing concepts to the foreign style. Things like hand-ground coffee are very popular. And the board game salon
The content of his own business does not live up to Lin Youde's expectations. There is a reason why killing games have been popular for so many years in Lin Youde's original time and space. Originally, Lin Youde was prepared to launch a game with a more Chinese flavor and more in line with China in case the killing games failed to become popular.
The Three Kingdoms Killing that people think of now seems to be no longer necessary in a short time.
The good business also brought benefits to Lin Youde in terms of connections. He first got a few new shares from a few young masters with whom he was familiar, and then he also charmed a few young ladies in vases, and made a lot of money out of them.
, Lin Youde used the money to buy the shop next to him, and opened a "Price Pavilion", open to young students with relatively little money in their pockets. He also started selling paper ID badges for everyone to play with.
Several partners were worried that the sale of paper ID tags would lead to a decline in the salon's business. Lin Youde scoffed: As a person from the future, he fully understands that the feeling of playing games in a board game store with a large group of people he doesn't know is irreplaceable.
Yes, this is the same reason that after personal computers have become popular and voice instant messaging such as YY has fully matured, people who have the conditions still prefer to use the Internet.
The expansion of his network of contacts has raised Lin Youde's reputation to another level. He originally wanted to use his next sharp skill to make himself as durable and good at recovery as Xiaoqiang, but looking at the current situation where he is singing and dancing, he has no idea.
I felt that I probably wouldn't need this skill for a while, so I switched to the first skill in the business department:
Know the truth: Your employees are 25 percent less likely to embezzle funds.
Upgrading two more levels, Lin Youde can point out the first skill that increases the work efficiency of all employees. Efficiency means money, and money means power. If you are powerful, you can protect yourself. In addition, if you are powerful, you can take down Shen Ji.
Point that skill out, which in turn can enhance your own power.
Lin Youde's wishful thinking was so successful that he was very happy.
But everyone said that plans could not keep up with changes. One day in August 1895, Wang Tianlin found Lin Youde.
As soon as he saw Wang Tianlin's appearance, Lin Youde had a premonition that his days as a fairy were coming to an end.
Lin Youde welcomed Wang Tianlin into his study, and then pretended not to notice anything and poured him tea. Here, Wang Tianlin couldn't wait to sit on his buttocks, and he couldn't wait to speak: "Brother Youde, when we drive out the Tartars and restore China,
arrive!"
Lin Youde turned his back to Wang Tianlin and pouted. He remembered that in 1895, besides writing letters on the bus, another major event was the first Guangzhou Uprising. This uprising, like other uprisings planned by Sun Dapao, failed. The people who participated in the uprising failed.
They either died heroically or fled overseas, but the results were not good. Especially in this first Guangzhou Uprising, almost no one except Sun Dapao and Huang Xing saw the dawn of Xinhai.
In the past few months, Lin Youde had been inquiring about news related to the uprising in order to prepare for avoidance, but he had not received any news. He thought that the uprising had been postponed just like the establishment of the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Administration. Who knew that now Wang Tianlin was automatically
Came to the door.
It was all caused by those bold words back then.
Lin Youde calmly came to the door of the study, opened a gap and carefully peeked out for a few seconds. Then he returned to the room, closed the only window in the study, and then took the teapot and teacup.
Go back to the desk and sit down.
"Brother Tianlin, Kang Youwei's letter to Liang Qichao has been heard by the saints. Recently, I heard that Kang Youwei organized a strong society in Beijing to prepare for the reform. Brother Tianlin, are you planning to go north to support the reform?"
Since May, Lin Youde has gained a lot of reputation points on Wang Tianlin, and the result is that now he can use this equal tone to talk to the most powerful party among the young people of the Xia family.
As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Wang Tianlin immediately shook his head and said: "Kang and Liang are not enough to achieve success. The Manchus in the Qing court only want their own rule and do not think about the revitalization of China. Relying on the Qing court will inevitably fail. To achieve the revitalization of China, we must
As Brother Youde said, we must first eliminate the Tartars, which means armed uprising to overthrow the Qing government."
"Oh?" Lin Youde was noncommittal and continued to act stupid.
In the end, Wang Tianlin pushed him: "Stop pretending, Brother Youde, I saw it. When I walked in, you already guessed my purpose."
Lin Youde said nonsense, not only did I guess your purpose of coming, I also knew that you would take me to the gutter. This Guangzhou Uprising is just a trick, and you are fooling around with Sun Dapao, a young man with no future.
But this cannot be said directly. The salon in Lin Youde's hands now relies on Wang Tianlin's care to be so successful, so even if he does not participate in the uprising, he still has to come up with a convincing argument for Wang Tianlin.
Lin Youde, if you ask him to simply use his smooth tongue to persuade people, it will be too difficult. He is not good at it at all. But as a former literary youth and a famous comic reviewer in active service, he is convincing people with his pen.
There is still a way of doing it, but in the time and space before Lin Youde, no one would take it seriously. In the company, you can't rely on this to build your reputation and manage your network. But at this time, this
In this time and space, the streets are full of literary and artistic young people. Among the progressive young people, this is what they do...
Lin Youde had been in contact with so-called progressive young people a lot in the past two months, and he had figured out this rule. At this time, he cleared his throat confidently, preparing to use his good arguments to convince Wang Tianlin, and to increase his reputation by the way - who
I know if this handsome guy will die heroically in a few months, so I should hurry up and do it if I can gain reputation.
"Brother Tianlin, do you know how many troops the Qing court has stationed in Guangzhou?"
"Brother Youde..."
"How are you going to deal with the 60 general armors and 120 cloud-walking machines of the Qing government's general camp in Humen?"
Jiang Feng Jia is the name given to the Western-style magical armor introduced by the Qing Dynasty.
"We have a goddess to help us."
"Then who will deal with the Shenji Camp, which is under the direct control of the Governor-General's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi?"
Wang Tianlin stopped talking.
Lin Youde carefully observed Wang Tianlin's expression, and with his poor ability to read people, he could see that this progressive young man was originally worried about the balance of power between the Qing court and the rebel army. Lin Youde's words just made his inner worries clear.
Just make it clear. Lin Youde was very satisfied with the result, which helped to create an image of a confidant in Wang Tianlin.
Lin Youde increasingly felt that Wang Tianlin should be developed into his own camp. In Lin Youde's view, this guy was quite capable, capable of action, enthusiasm and not blindly obedient. The only drawback was that he was not a girl.
Finally, Wang Tianlin spoke: "Yes, I also think that this uprising is a disaster, but the blood of this uprising will not be shed in vain, and it will arouse more people. I think Brother Youde can understand me.
To explain, didn't Brother Youde once chant to the moon such a good sentence as "To express my gratitude to the cold stars in Tsuen, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood"? Tianlin, did I misunderstand the sentence "Xuanyuan is recommended with blood"? Please also ask.
Brother De, please give me some advice!"
Lin Youde had a thought in his mind: "Damn it, your sister was really heard? But it's no wonder that I gained reputation so quickly with Wang Tianlin. It turns out there is another reason behind it."
"You misunderstood, Brother Tianlin." Lin Youde said in a deep voice, "The implication of this sentence is that I, Lin Youde, will not hesitate to throw my life and blood for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but this does not mean that I will give up my life for no reason.
For the vain purpose of 'awakening the people'!"
This time Wang Tianlin was not happy. He hit the table with his tea cup and angrily said: "How can such a noble purpose of awakening the people be said to be vain?"
"There are countless peasant uprisings in Chinese history. How many of them did it take someone's blood to wake them up? The Chinese people are the best obedient people in the world when they can still live by it. Once life can no longer go on, the Chinese people
The bloody nature will be revealed. Do you really think of our nation as the sick man of East Asia? Wouldn't it be better to have more faith in the Chinese people?"
Next, there was another minute of staring at each other, and then Wang Tianlin's shoulders relaxed, and he asked in a much gentler tone: "Brother Yi Youde, when will the awakening of the Chinese people come?"
"It won't take long. I looked at the colonial history of Western powers and found that in recent decades, the colonial methods of Western powers have been changing. In the past, they liked to directly plunder resources and export goods, but recently they have slowly turned to exporting capital, and in the local area
Setting up factories, the focus of plundering gradually shifted from resources to labor. The New Sino-French Treaty allowing French businessmen to invest in domestic railways is a manifestation of this trend. It can be foreseen that Western powers will inevitably launch new attacks on the Qing court in the near future.
war in order to obtain a way to export capital. The Qing government will definitely lose this war, and the war reparations will completely collapse the Qing government's finances, which are already overwhelmed and walking on thin ice. At that time, the Qing government will inevitably impose heavy taxes to supplement the finances, causing the people to be destitute."
"So Brother Youde thinks that time is a good opportunity for revolution?"
"Don't worry, the Qing court will be completely reduced to an agent of the foreigners, and it will definitely get the support of the foreigners. It is impossible for the great powers to support the revolution. They would like China to remain poor and weak forever and become the sick man of East Asia. As long as the great powers are still paying attention
In China, the revolution cannot succeed. However, the great powers themselves are not monolithic. Britain, the United States, France, Germany and Austria, among which the industrial output of Germany and Germany has exceeded that of Britain and France, but Britain and France occupy the vast majority of colonies in the world. The United States still has vast territory to provide
Resources and markets, as well as neighboring Mexico as a source of raw materials and a dumping ground for products, Germany does not have these conditions. What will the imbalance between strength and benefits obtained lead to?".
Lin Youde paused for a moment, and Wang Tianlin readily accepted the bait: "War."
"Yes, in the next ten years or so, there will be a war among the Western powers to redistribute the world. By then, the Western countries themselves will not be able to protect themselves, so naturally they will not be able to spare their hands to suppress our revolution. Only then will the conditions for the success of the revolution be met.
.I estimate that this will happen in about 20 years. Before that, we need to accumulate strength, reserve military expenditures, and prepare talents and equipment for the future revolutionary army."
Wang Tianlin's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"Twenty years?"
While asking the question, Wang Tianlin still had a doubtful look on his face. However, Lin Youde didn't expect him to believe it right away. Anyway, his purpose was achieved by calming him down.
"Anyway, I won't participate in this uprising, and you shouldn't have anything to do with me. It's okay for you to use my salon to communicate, but I don't provide accommodation, and I can't stockpile arms here. I don't know anything about you."
Wang Tianlin was silent for a while, then sighed and replied: "Okay, I understand what Brother Youde means, and I understand it. Then I will..."
"Wait a minute." The female voice came out of nowhere, startling Lin Youde.
Then a long-haired girl emerged from the void.
"Miss Yin Zang," Wang Tianlin stood up immediately and said respectfully to the new girl, "how do you..."
In this next round, Lin Youde was shocked, Yin Zang?
Could this be Sun Dapao’s good friend, Miyazaki Torazo, one of the Japanese mainland ronin?
When talking about Miyazaki Tozō, we have to mention the pro-China faction in Japan’s modern history—Lin Youde himself gave this group a more vivid name as the “Greater China Fundamentalists.” Before the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese still
Preserving the tradition of being pro-China, the upper class of society all understood Chinese and knew Chinese characters. This trend was preserved in the Meiji and Taisho eras. At that time, many Japanese intellectuals could use Chinese characters and characters even if they could not speak Chinese.
China Progressive Youth Correspondence. Under this trend, a group of Japanese people were born. This group of people is actually similar to the traitors during the Anti-Japanese War and the yellow-skinned bananas two thousand years later.
Take Miyazaki Tomazō as an example. In the time and space of Lin Youde's past, this good friend of Sun Yat-sen said this: "The current world is a battlefield where the weak and the strong prey on each other. The strong are more violent every day, and the weak are more violent.
Their rights and freedoms are being lost day by day. If we do not try to change this situation now, the yellow race will always suffer from the oppression of the white race. And this turning point of fate is actually related to the rise and fall of China."
Look, the spirit of international Chineseism reflected in this passage is so touching.
The most famous among this group of "Greater China fundamentalists" is undoubtedly Japanese Prime Minister Takeshi Inukai. After the Japanese army actually took control of the entire Northeast, this old man still wanted to "exchange sovereignty for commercial rights" at the negotiation table and take Northeast China away.
It was nominally returned to its former sovereign state, but it offended the Japanese army and triggered a mutiny.
Lin Youde has a good impression of this group of Japanese. This will be the key to establishing a pseudo-Japanese regime in the future and implementing the policy of "Japanese rule." What's more, this group of people may have become girls, like Miyazaki Torzo,
Although he was extremely ugly in "that time and space", he was as beautiful as a flower here, completely in line with the Chinese man Lin Youde's longing for Yamato Nadeshiko.
So Lin Youde habitually showed a hearty smile to Miyazaki Torazou. In the past few months, Lin Youde's smile has been a killer in love. So far, no girl's eyes have turned into love hearts after seeing this smile.
As a result, Miyazaki Toruzo successfully became the first girl to be immune to Lin Youtoku's golden finger. This shows that she is a good general and a talented person who needs to be recruited - not to mention that judging from her sudden appearance just now, she is also a goddess.
Lin Youde put away his smile and said to the great revolutionary forerunner in his heart: "Sun Dapao, Sun Dapao, your future loyal supporter, I'm afraid I will be the first to get there. It's just your fault that you met her too late. Don't blame me for cheating."
At this moment, Lin Youde suddenly had an idea, what if Sun Dapao had already met Miyazaki Torazo?
So he said: "Could this be Mr. Miyazaki Torazou...ah, I always thought you were a man."
"It doesn't matter," Miyazaki Torzo waved his hand and said in blunt Chinese, "My name is often misunderstood. I'm also happy that people I've never met think I'm a man."
"That's it... Then may I ask, have you met Mr. Sun Wen?"
Unexpectedly, Miyazaki Tonzo laughed heartily after hearing Lin Youde's words: "You must have been misled by Wen Sang's pen name in Japan, Zhongshan Qiao. Miss Sun Wen is a girl like me."
"Damn it, what should I do if the moon is swollen?" Lin Youde asked subconsciously.
Unsurprisingly, the two people opposite him looked at him strangely, as if they didn't understand.
