The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1053

  In the post-war Britain, although the economic situation was difficult, the stock market was thriving. In particular, industrial stocks, from Germany’s surrender to Attlee’s election as prime minister, the London Stock Exchange’s industrial stock index soared from 103 points to 118 points, and continues to be bullish.

  Ornis chose the best time to list pharmaceutical companies—during the war, the London Stock Exchange was closed twice for three days, and people didn’t have much thought to invest in stocks. In another six months, the British Labour government will promulgate the Investment Control Act, which will limit the number of new shares issued and will be subject to extremely strict scrutiny.

   is listed now, just in time for the first express train of the stock market recovery, but all industrial stocks will soar. When the “Investment Control Law” is promulgated, it will be difficult to issue new shares, which will once again trigger a new wave of investment, and people will frantically buy old shares that have already been issued.

   But for speculators, the British stock market was not friendly at this time. Although it seems that buying anything goes up, the nerves of the British are extremely fragile, and a slight change in the international situation will cause shocks in the British stock market.

  For example, in August 1948, the Soviet Union suddenly blocked Berlin, and the British stock index plummeted immediately – wow, is there going to be another war? Everyone, sell stocks.

   Zhou Hexuan only hopes that the Labor government will not target his pharmaceutical company, otherwise it will be nationalized one day. Historically, the British steel industry has been made to die. In the early 1950s, the steel industry was nationalized by the Labour Party, soon privatized by the Conservative Party, then nationalized by the Labour Party, and then privatized by the Conservative Party… … This tossing and turning can make people stunned.

  In the beginning, the nationalization and privatization policies were driven by support for the national economy, but later they gradually became a tool of political struggle between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. Entrepreneurs were caught in the middle.

   The United States is better, it is the paradise of capitalists.

   Zhou Hexuan can’t figure out how much money he has now. Anyway, the share price of “Royal Pharmaceuticals” has doubled 12 times in a week. Although the war is over, the patents for sulfa and penicillin are there. These two magic drugs are enough to last for 20 years. Investors have been jealous.

   King George VI has reached the point where he regards money as dung. The king did not make a fuss about increasing his stake, and he did not care about the rise in stock prices.

   On Sunday, Zhou Hexuan visited Buckingham Palace once and found that George VI was a little nervous. He was irritable and irritable during the war. After the war, he suddenly relaxed, smoking, drinking and indulging all day long. I heard that he smoked several packs of cigarettes a day. No wonder he developed lung cancer in a few years.

  …

   On July 26, China, the United States, and the United Kingdom jointly issued the “Potsdam Proclamation”: The Allies’ war against Japan will continue until Japan completely stops resisting, and the Japanese government must surrender immediately.

  The Soviet Union’s military strength in the Far East was still weak at this time. Stalin was afraid that the Japanese would stir up trouble, so he did not sign the “Potsdam Proclamation” for the time being. The Japanese government refused to surrender and shouted the slogan “100 million people are broken”.

  On the day Japan refused to surrender, the “Kamikaze” attacked again, using a suicide attack to sink the American heavy cruiser “Indianapolis” – the cruiser had just finished delivering the atomic bomb and was about to return.

   Let’s take a look at the Chinese version of the team song of “Kamikaze Special Attack Team”: “Kamikaze and Kamikaze, I am Wu Weiyang, a hundred battles and a hundred victories, the Pacific Ocean… Athletes are heroes with their skills.”

   This song was written by a Chinese, namely Chen Gexin, the author of “Night Shanghai”. This big traitor is also!

   Many years later, Ms. Long Yingtai gave a speech at the University of Hong Kong. She missed Chen Gexin, a cultural traitor, and used Chen Gexin’s death to satirize the mainland’s persecution of artists. As a result, hehe, the teachers and students of the University of Hong Kong collectively sang “My Motherland” to respond (friends who are interested can search for related videos).

  On the third day after the publication of the Potsdam Proclamation, Zhou Hexuan met Churchill in London. This dude slipped away before the meeting was over, and didn’t even attend the closing ceremony because he was no longer the protagonist.

   “How many years have you written so much content?” Churchill held the manuscript of “Legend of the Galactic Heroes” with tens of thousands of words in his hand with a look of disgust.

   Zhou Hexuan said angrily, “If you don’t want to see it, give it back to me.”

   Churchill hurriedly put away the manuscript, smoking a cigar and saying, “Let me here first. You have to speed up, don’t wait for my memoirs to finish, your “Legend of Galactic Heroes” is still serialized.”

   “Take your time, don’t worry.” Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

   Since Japan sent troops to Southeast Asia, “The Legend of Galactic Heroes” has been discontinued in the UK, because it is too difficult to send manuscripts. The serialization was resumed a few days ago. British fans of Yinying were so excited. They didn’t expect to see the follow-up content in their lifetime.

  Churchill flipped through the manuscript slowly, raised his legs and said, “I heard that you were placed under house arrest by that little stupid donkey for half a year?”

   “You are well informed.” Zhou Hexuan smiled.

   “What the British ambassador to China said in the letter,” Churchill said, “that little stupid donkey is the most idiotic leader of the country I’ve ever seen. His brain is made of wood, and he can’t communicate at all.”

   Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile, “Are you jealous that he hasn’t stepped down yet, while you are doing nothing all day?”

   “Jealous? Hehe, I would be jealous of him? It’s a joke.” Churchill’s face was a little unsightly, and he was obviously worried about Attlee being prime minister.

   Zhou Hexuan comforted and said, “Look at it, the British don’t need war now.”

Churchill shook his head and said: “Britain still has too many international problems to solve, and Attlee’s diplomatic philosophy is too weak. Look, the British will find that they need a tough prime minister, and I will be back in four years. “

  The confidence of fans.

  The two did not talk about politics, but about literature, and Churchill was about to start his Nobel Prize for Literature.

   In the next month, Zhou Hexuan waved banknotes to buy and buy in the UK, especially those old manors and castles. The tourist attractions that will be crowded with tourists in the future are now cheaper than each other, and the cost of renovation is estimated to be higher than the house price.

   As for British companies, Zhou Hexuan is not ready to take over, because the future nationalization reform of the Labour Party is too powerful.

  The real hot spot for investment is Japan, which will be in ruins after the war. It’s so cool to buy a few blocks of land in Tokyo. You can build a building and collect rent without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

In the 1980s, the Japanese were clamoring to buy the entire United States, but Zhou Hexuan could stand in the center of Tokyo and say, “This street is mine, that street is mine, um, the streets over there are mine. .”

   The time for Zhou Hexuan’s shot came soon. On August 9, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki.

  The straw that broke the camel’s back has appeared, and the next step is to wait for Japan to surrender.
