Subtitle of this chapter: The master who can spend money is very busy

How can a mere mortal man resist a mahjong plaque that is comparable to the "Xirui Jing".

Our Master Yuan suspected that these four foreign friends had too low IQs to understand the mystery of "a game containing the ancient wisdom of Cyris", and specially taught them the simplest "Hong Kong Governor (the fool in Shanghai) mahjong".

This kind of mahjong can only be used as "Qing (Qing or Feng) mixed (Ming (Ming)" plus the four types of card (Ming)" and the chaotic wind direction (just just collect fourteen wind cards if you don't look at the card type, you can get the card). Later, the English name of "Qing and Fu" mahjong was "basicmahjong (Basic Mahjong)."

It is worthy of being called "Hong Kong Governor Mahjong" and "Basic Mahjong". "Qingmeng" is indeed simple and easy to learn and count the numbers. Without much effort, these four foreigners played as if they were good. After they learned it, the four foreigners were as excited as children who got toys for the first time, and this fight started from afternoon to midnight.

Why can the mahjong plaques in the United States without our Master Yuan?

This means that we have to introduce the most popular poker game in the West, Whist card game. In fact, the original Whist played very similar to the 40s played by later Chinese people. The same four people were divided into two pairs to fight. Before the start, one suit can be designated as a trump card, and any ace can win any card of other suits. Both sides aim to win the trump card. However, compared to the 40s, Whist has no big or big king, and the dealer has no trump card to exchange.

Based on the Whisther card game, Whisther Bridge has been developed, which is a competitive bridge and modern popular contracted bridge.

Well, as long as you play any type of mahjong and forty, you can understand why mahjong is more fun. Compared with mahjong, the rules of this kind of four-person poker game seem too rigid and requires too much cooperation with the family, and of course it is more brain-intensive.

So, why did the mahjong craze in America and the world finally subside on that timeline of our Master Yuan?

The answer is obvious, because World War II is coming.

By the late 1930s, the people of Western countries were very busy. Men went to the battlefield, women entered factories, and old people went to the fields to do farm work. The young friends were either joining the Boy Scouts or the Hitler Youth League, or picking up scrap copper and iron for the country.

Who has this American time to play mahjong?

After finally waiting for the end of World War II, everyone finally had free time, and at this time TV began to become popular...

However, the most critical factor is the ineffective promotion. To be more precise, the mahjong movement is not commercial enough.

The mahjong organizations that appeared in the United States are clubs established by amateurs to find a partner. These small non-profit clubs do not have the motivation or ability to push the mahjong movement onto the track of commercialization.

Some countries and regions have indeed held some competitions, but the scale is small and the influence is even smaller, so the mahjong sport disappeared after this craze.

Fortunately, with Yuan Yanshu, a time traveler, on this timeline, the situation is naturally very different.

Especially for the British people, they should really thank our Master Yuan.

When the Third Reich implemented the "Sea Lion Plan" and the German Eagles flew over London, British gentlemen and ladies were surprised to find that they could still play mahjong clubs. Because those clubs were built underground. Of course, this was the idea of ​​a certain "prophet".

In order to inspire the fighting spirit of the British people, the British government also held the first "King's Cup" mahjong competition in the name of George VI. The "King's Cup" will be renamed "Queen's Cup" in the future and will become one of the four mahjong opens.

In the early morning, Yuan Yan suddenly sent off his friends and slept in this luxurious apartment with all the furniture.

But he got up very early the next day. The 18 o'clock constitution means that he is enough to take a nap every day, and he has a lot of things to do.

At 9 o'clock on November 19, 1920, our Master Yuan walked into the study. He carefully closed the door and pulled the curtains, and then sat at the desk.

"Master Ball, come out!"

I can finally copy it very much!!!

My B-coins are now in over 100,000. With 18 points of physical fitness and conscience, I will lose it. And I have a qualifier that can be used infinitely...

"Sick (can be used unlimitedly, with a cooling period of one month.)"

Well, this qualifier is indeed a bit of that, but it is better than "pervert".

"Dangdangdangdang, congratulations to the host for drawing George Martin's "Tower of Ashes."

"Dangdangdangdang, congratulations to the host for drawing George Martin's "Cross and Dragons."

...

"Master Ball, I have spent 50,000 b coins. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Host, I understand...Dangdangdang, congratulations to the host for drawing George Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire"!"

"Master Ball, print out the first volume first."

Our Master Yuan looked at the manuscript that appeared on the table out of thin air, nodded with great satisfaction, picked up the pen and spread the letter paper:

Dear Howard,

I guess you have also seen news about me in Providence. As the newspaper said, I am acquitted now and my body has recovered well. The better news is that the dark forces in New York were expelled by the power of justice. Although it is only temporary, we have an excellent window.

Then the best news is naturally that our career can begin!

Please come to New York immediately after seeing the letter. The following is my new address. Looking forward to meeting you.

Your Neo

Yuan Yan suddenly put the text message into an envelope, put on her clothes and left the mansion on the Upper East Side. She called a taxi and headed straight for the center of New York.

Why didn't he hand over the letter to the concierge or send it into the postbox? That's because in addition to sending letters, he also had to send overseas telegrams.

Speaking of which, after our Master Yuan was reminded by Luo Jiaxiang that day, he had asked John to send a telegram to his home to report his safety. Now he personally went to the Telegram Office and sent another long telegram.

There is no way, if you have such a big deal, you must notify me of it.

The telegram fees in this year, especially such telegrams that cross the ocean are expensive... they are still expensive, and most people really can't afford it. Fortunately, he had already received the first royalties sent by Miss Brown at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have enough money to send the trans-aircraft telegrams to the submarine cable.

In 1930, the Shanghai Ministry of Transport International Radio was established. In order to compete with foreign waterline companies, the telegram fee was slightly lower. For example, the international radio sent a telegram of San Francisco in the United States of America 1.95 yuan per word, 3.50 yuan in New York, and 2.60 yuan in European countries; while the American Pacific Business Waterline Company sent a telegram of San Francisco to San Francisco to 3.15 yuan per word, and 3.75 yuan in New York. Note that the "yuan" here are silver dollars that have not depreciated yet.

This is the price after the establishment of the radio station in 1930. The price of undersea cables before was even more outrageous. (Author’s note: I’m sorry I didn’t find the telegraph prices in the 20s, so I’ll briefly introduce the telegraph prices for 30 years to give everyone a concept.)

But isn't he rich? He can get five or six thousand dollars in just ten thousand copies of "Love Chocolate", so he didn't care much about small money, so he sent a long telegram. The telegram fee of these dozens of words can be at least a small apartment in the Magic City in 1920.

This telegram will naturally first tell you the whole story of your imprisonment, then report on your physical condition, and finally... continue to ask for money.

Hi, if the money is left in China, it will be ruined. It would be better to waste it for me... No, leave a way out for my family.

After sending the letter and sending the telegram, Yuan Yan suddenly raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was just right.

After two months of traveling, our Master Yuan finally became rich. So what should he do when a young gentleman who is determined to be a master gets rich?

Buying a car and a house? It’s really a rough idea.

I don’t understand, of course I don’t buy a car or a house, but I buy it...beep!

Still an error!

Have you seen the "Million Pounds" starring Gregory Parker? The first thing is to ask a senior tailor to make clothes.

People with his status do not have a dozen or twenty suits, and formal occasions such as tuxedo at the opera house, evening gowns for banquets, morning gowns for breakfast, morning gowns for meeting guests in the morning, smoking suits for smoking even if they are alone at home, hunting suits for outings and hunting, sports suits for golf and tennis... How can you be embarrassed to go out and say hello to others?

It is early winter now, so there are no coats and windbreakers to protect against the cold, wind and rain. Can these large clothes be free of marten or beaver skin collars?

It’s not finished after making clothes. Do you have to match them with different styles of hats, wallets, belts, leather shoes, boots, tie, bow tie, handkerchief, gloves, cufflinks, etc. with different clothes?

In fact, the above is just a small amount of money. As the saying goes, the loser plays with cars and the rich plays with watches. Even a hundred years later, watches are the real big items for men.

This was in 1920, being a Westernized gentleman was so simple. Do you think you could go out to meet those big guys by just making a suit and putting on a tie?

Although the protagonists of time travel novels have so much money, they don’t spend money at all. They just want to buy a house and run a factory all day long, and they are a fool-legged figure in the future.

To be honest, why do you buy a house? You can still walk around with your back. Of course, if the master wants to live in a big hotel. When the reputation becomes famous, you don’t even have to pay for the house.

Besides, what kind of house should I buy in 1920? When the Great Depression and World War II come, houses around the world will be picked up for free. If you really want to invest in real estate, wouldn’t it be enough to wait for ten or twenty years?

If he could really become the number one accomplice of American imperialism, and then become an old friend of the Japanese emperor MacArthur, and put the Yasukuni Shrine into a big villa, Japan would provide labor and building materials with free smiles.

What else is there to run a factory? It's just funny.

Do you really think foreigners will not copy the factory? Can the mere patent law still stop those big capitalists? Gesun is going to come out of the west.

If you build factories in China, do you really think that these factories will definitely make money after having a golden decade? People with this kind of thinking must be very bad.

What should I do if there is a little Japanese who come here? Some people say that the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War can be moved to the mainland... two words, haha.

To be honest, it is better to hand over the factory to the Japanese than to hand over the gunners. At least you have the chance to take it back, which is better than selling it as a junk iron.

If time travelers want to get rich, they also need to engage in finance. Unfortunately, because of the existence of the broken system, Yuan Yan couldn't do it.

Since that's the case, he spent his money on the edge, which was to improve his own style and level.

So he came to a high-end tailor shop run by Jews, which was recommended by Mr. Louis Baker. Our Master Yuan really didn't like Jews very much, and was also ready to cheat them. However, in the United States in 1920, the Jewish tailors had the best skills.

After getting most of his outfits, Master Yuan, who left the tailoring shop, took a taxi and headed straight to "New York City First People's Hospital".

Well, it seems that I still have to buy a car and hire a driver or something...

Of course, he also learned that the anarchist warriors were arrested and released. Now he was going to see the tragic situation of these guys with his own eyes and let out a sigh of anger.

Seeing these two "mummy aunts"-shaped anti-American fighters in the hospital ward, Yuan Yanshu was so excited. He told you to mess with me, are you retribution?

"Madam, how are Mr. Linden and Mr. Zhuang?"

However, he still looked very painful on his face, and asked the elder sister Weian, who was looking at the haggard look.

Long Mother glanced at the Chinese man with annoyance and replied coldly: "Thank you Mr. Yuan for your concern. They and our mother and I can't die."

"Misunderstanding, this is a huge misunderstanding!" The junior investigator of the SCP Foundation said innocently, "I didn't expect that I would implicate you. Madam, don't forget that I was targeted by those damn guys in order to save your daughter."

He took out a thick envelope and said, "To express my apology, aren't you giving you money in advance? By the way, I personally added $200, which is considered as the nutritional expenses of Mr. Linden and Mr. Zhuang."

If you give out your breath, you will give out your money. However, you can’t use checks to send money, so you should use cash.

When Sister Weian heard this reason, she opened it and looked at the knife dollar. Her face was about to speak...

"Mom, I'm here...ah, you, yes, why is Mr. Yuan here?"

Our Master Yuan stood up and looked at each other affectionately and said, "Miss Rochelle, I'm here to visit 'you'."

In English, you and you are both you, so the accent on this word means... to flirt with girls.

Miss Ai Nuka's pretty face turned red, and water could drip from her beautiful eyes.

Yuan Yan was very happy and couldn't help but walk forward and said softly, "An, I am..."
Chapter completed!
