Subtitle of this chapter: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy at the bottom

I don’t know if it’s because of his nature, honest, hardworking and seriousness, or because he was frightened by the stock market crash at the end of next year, Yan Mou, the second son of the Yuan family, was a conservative all his life.

In his life, he was only willing to invest in the real economy, namely industry and real estate, so he was able to support the life of a whole family in the demon city through the few ancestral properties he had left, and later there were signs of a comeback.

This kind of good and healthy investment philosophy has been implemented by Hongtu Gong (his name). As the saying goes, the emperor will live up to the hard work of the people, and the cautious life of Yuan Yanmou finally waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity thirty years later. If he didn't come to buy the bottom, he would be a shame to the ancestors of the Yuan family! So he spent all his savings and bought two factories and several houses at a low price, and leaped from a proletariat to a big capitalist...

Forget it, no matter what, his second brother is always more reliable than his father.

The Master Ball flashed for a while before saying, "Yes. But... I can only recommend it."

Just say this, Yuan Yan suddenly picked up a golden pen and wrote two letters carefully.

The first letter was naturally a reply to his father. First, he praised Mr. Yuan’s investment talent in the letter; secondly, he asked for money. Anyway, he couldn’t even hear the sound of the money in the stock market. It would be better to send it to himself and let him live a good life in New York, so he asked for 1,600 US dollars in tuition.

Then he wrote that since his family is preparing to develop in Shanghai in the future and he will return to China after completing his studies next year, the Shikumen is too narrow, so it is better to consider buying a big house.

Finally, I wrote those ten words as a reminder.

At that time, it was common for the gentry like the old Yuan family from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to have real estate in Shanghai. This was not just for investment, but for the sake of a place to take shelter in Shanghai during the chaos.

The second letter was written to his younger brother. In this letter, Yuan Yan wrote sincerely that, as the eldest brother, who was not at home for many years, had not fulfilled his responsibilities as the eldest son. In order to express his shame and gratitude, if the two elders have something they can't bear to say in the future, he will get less inheritance.

Second brother, you are married and have children, and you can’t stay in the countryside. You have younger brothers and sisters at home, so you have to study in Shanghai. How can this family live in a house in Shanghai? Besides, isn’t your family going to have a fortune? Why would you and your mother advise your father to buy a big house. When the old man dies in the future, the big one will belong to you. In order to show sincerity, he took the initiative to propose that this house can be hanged in his younger brother’s name, and he has no other words, so he used this letter as evidence.

As a resident of the Great Demon Capital who had personally experienced demolition, Yuan Hongjian later saw many brothers, sisters, and even parents and children who turned against each other for the house and compensation, it would be better to write this kind of thing clearly. With a system like Master Ball, Yuan Yan, who was confident of coming out of the pavilion to become a master, had to prepare for the future.

After all, the little citizen is a little citizen. He thought that he would have his own house when he returned to Shanghai in the future, so he would not have to worry about food and drink when he was a landlord.

After writing the two letters, Yuan Yan, exhausted, threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.

Yuan Yanshu started to go to Nyu to study these days. There is no way. In the years without the Internet, no one believed that you could write a paper behind closed doors. Not to mention other things, where did those indexes come from? Could it be that the author still remembers the detailed source of all reference materials?

So he went to Professor Adams and Professor Chandler to show his face in class. After class, he went to their office to smoke a cigarette, chat, and asked a few questions about their specialty, otherwise he would go to Nyu's library to pretend to be diligent. In any case, the teachers and classmates around him finally confirmed that this yellow man was really writing a paper.

In addition to this new habit, he has now developed another habit, and he has to spend some time taking a good look when passing newsstands and bookstores.

Our Master Yuan now has a book related to anarchism, a "famous" novel in Armenian, a "Over the Moon", a female novel with a food theme, and a "Jerusalem Territory" related to "insects".

That anarchist book will never be published in his foreseeable future, and it will not even be given away for free like "Fifty Shades of Gray". That Armenian novel has to be mentioned again. Not to mention "Above the Moon". Only the last two books can be tried to contribute.

However, Yuan Yan suddenly discovered something embarrassing, that is, it was really difficult to be a fledgling writer in 1920. The biggest obstacle for him was the lack of a copier and a printer!

For modern physical novel writers, even if they don’t have an email address, they can print dozens of copies at will, and after handing them to the express delivery, they can wait for news at home. However, he only has one original copy, and he spent B coins to exchange it from the Master Ball. Although it is not very expensive, these two novels still consumed his balance.

So our Master Yuan cannot submit more papers, but he is not familiar with the American publishing industry. In the end, he came up with a lazy way and submitted the revised female novel of food-themed to New York University Press through the introduction of Professor Irving Adams.

As a scholar, whether in 1920 or 2017, he likes to come into contact with the academic circle. Even if the people here are bad, they are more "simple". In addition, he is a student of New York University and has been introduced by professors on campus, so it is not easy to cause trouble.

It was not that Yuan Yan was thinking about the bad things, but that the whites discrimination against people of color in 1920 was too blatant. What if someone found out that he was Chinese, had a little bit of a bad idea and colluded with other authors to say that this novel was plagiarism... Even if he really didn't care, because it was really not written by him, but this was not something that could not eat mutton and would make him slut out of it?

But he spent several days visiting the book "The Territory of Jerusalem", but he still didn't know where to submit his articles. Could it be that the novel that ate so many insect eggs and spent 100b coins was a waste?

"Hey, do you want to buy it?"

Yuan Yan, who was standing in front of the newsstand, glanced at the newsstand owner and thought to himself that he was really a little bitch. When he saw a yellow man like me, he refused to even say "sir". No wonder he would sell such newspapers.

Without saying a word, he took out a coin from his pocket and threw it to the newsstand owner, and took a piece of paper from the stall, which was not even a lead-printed but mimeographed street newspaper.

Not only is this newspaper of quality a problem, but the articles above are also unsightly. They are all articles that promote racism and conservatism. This is not ordinary racism and conservatism, but New England racism and Puritan conservatism. In other words, the publishers and target the audience of this newspaper are both descendants of Mayflower with a strong root... or "Living Fossils of Mayflower" are more accurate.
