During this period, the relationship between the Chinese and Japanese was very tense. When Lin Zixuan came to Hongkou, he found that most of the surroundings were alert eyes. The Japanese police stopped his car and checked it.

Lin Zixuan answered calmly, he was here to make a flip.

He is a celebrity in Shanghai. Even if the Japanese police officers don’t know him, they can still know Lin Zixuan’s identity when they look at the name on their ID.

Although I can't figure out Lin Zixuan's intentions, at this special moment, the Japanese police did not dare to arrest Lin Zixuan.

Otherwise, once things get bigger, it will be difficult to end.

In the eyes of the police, the Chinese might have hoped that this was the case. They let Lin Zixuan in, but followed the car to monitor.

The place Lin Zixuan is going to is Wei Shengli next to the entrance of Yuqingfang Lane on Beisichuan Road, where Neishan Bookstore is located.

He didn't expect that this bookstore hidden in the alley is quite famous. Many Chinese people with Japanese study backgrounds know that it is because it is a place where very few Japanese original books are sold in Shanghai.

There is a very interesting phenomenon here.

Chinese students studying in Japan like to read original Japanese books after returning home, as if they were not like this, they would not prove that they had studied in Japan.

Lin Zixuan understands this psychology very well.

Because he also places many original English books in his study. Although he never reads them, it is always a symbol. Especially when friends studying in the United States come to visit, they will open them to display them.

Although Lin Zixuan felt awkward, this was a common phenomenon in this era.

It was even more exaggerated when it was a gathering for international students studying in the West. Some people used French and German during the exchange. Those who only understood English were embarrassed to speak. At least they had to know three foreign languages ​​to be considered to have studied in the West.

So, as soon as Lin Zixuan mentioned Neiyama Bookstore, he quickly got the address.

He is not unfamiliar with North Sichuan Road. The Chongde Girls' School where Ruan Lingyu used to attend was on this road. He found Neishan Bookstore. The store was not big and the conditions were relatively simple, and it seemed that it had not developed yet.

Lin Zixuan felt that he must have come too early.

The Uchiyama Bookstore is still in its development period, and Uchiyama Maruzao may not have the ability to introduce Chinese books to Japan until a few years later.

This is a place where time travelers often get confused.

What Lin Zixuan is thinking about is that it will happen in the future, not now, there is a time difference in between. If the time difference is not handled properly, he may make a wrong decision.

Just like the conflict with Song Ziwen that time.

He took the matter very seriously because Song Ziwen was very powerful in the future, but at this point in time, Song Ziwen was just a bank worker, and there was nothing scary about it.

This time it was the same. He regarded Uchiyama Maru as the Uchiyama Maru a few years later.

Forget it, since you come, you will be at peace.

Lin Zixuan walked around the small bookstore. Most of the shops were Japanese and religious books, but he couldn't understand them.

After a while, a middle-aged Japanese man who was not tall came out from behind. He spoke in Japanese first, saw Lin Zixuan showing a puzzled expression, and then greeted Lin Zixuan in Chinese with a Japanese accent.

Lin Zixuan responded and asked if there were any literary books.

When Uchiyama Maruzao took out a book and introduced it, he couldn't help but wonder, since you don't understand Japanese, ask what you do.

Uchiyama Maruzao was born in 1885 and dropped out of school to work without graduating from elementary school.

Since he was 12 years old, he has been an apprentice in stores in Osaka and Kyoto.

In 1913, he went from Japan to Shanghai, China to work in drug sales. Later, he opened the "Uchiyama Bookstore" in the name of his wife.

At the beginning, Uchiyama Maruzuo opened this bookstore with a test-and-demand attitude.

Since he was a Christian, he started selling Christian books and slowly expanded to Japanese original books because there was no competition from other bookstores of the same type in Shanghai, and the business was pretty good.

As a businessman, he was very dedicated to introducing books to Lin Zixuan. After all, you can tell that he is a rich man by looking at Lin Zixuan's clothes.

Lin Zixuan asked about the situation of this writer named Akutagawa Ryuno. Since Uchiyama Maruzao runs a bookstore, he knows a little about the situation of Japanese writers, so he said a few simple words.

The guest was not satisfied and asked about other Japanese writers, some writers, Maruzuo Uchiyama had never heard of them.

He has heard of this new writer, Yasukuni Kawabata, but he really doesn't know who Yukifu Mishima is.

In fact, Yukifu Mishima will not be born until 1925. Lin Zixuan doesn’t know much about Japanese writers of this era and remembers it more general.

Through the introduction of Uchiyama Maruzaki, Lin Zixuan gained a rough understanding of the situation in the Japanese literary world.

Unfortunately, "In the Bamboo Forest" in the Akutagawa Ryuzo has been published. This novel is very famous in Japan and was later shot into a movie called "Rashomon".

The good news is that Kawabata Yasukuni has not yet become famous.

Lin Zixuan studied "Izu's Dancer" when he was in school and also read "Snow Country". These two novels can be written first.

Of course, if you want to use a pseudonym, he doesn't want to be known that he has written a Japanese novel.

He can also outline the TV series from later generations and organize a group of writers who are proficient in Japanese to write them.

Such novels that describe local Japanese stories should be a great success.

Lin Zixuan remembers the sensation that caused when the TV series "Blood Suspicion" was broadcast in China in later generations, and he now returns this sensation to Japan.

He also found out that the Japanese books made by Uchiyama Maru were purchased from a bookstore called Tokyo Do in Tokyo.

Tokyo Do Bookstore opened in 1890, entered the publishing business in 1891, and founded "Magazine World" in 1898, which has a place in the Japanese publishing industry.

Lin Zixuan plans to vote "Izu's Dancer" and "Snow Country" to this publishing house and try it out.

If the conditions are good, then continue to cooperate. He has a bigger plan, that is, the comics industry.

In this world, except for Americans, only Japanese people have a special liking for comics. Lin Zixuan doesn’t read comics very much, but he has seen cartoons adapted from comics.

For example, "Dragon Cat" and "Saint Seiya".

Naturally, he could not shoot cartoons, but he could find cartoons he had seen to be restored into comics and sold to Japan.

This is called the recycling of the cultural industry.

Given that there are too many science fiction elements in "Dragon Cat" and "Saint Seiya" promotes violence too much, Lin Zixuan decided to use the cartoon "Smart Ikki" to experiment.

Nearly an hour later, Uchiyama Maruzuo finally sent the strange guest away. What made him depressed was that the man asked for a long time but did not buy a book.

As soon as Lin Zixuan left, the Japanese police officer walked into Uchiyama Bookstore and interrogated the situation.
