Chapter 2729 2731 [Promoted to Island Master]
Author: Ji Mobai
In the second half of 2001, the Northeast Incident shocked the world.
Swedish newspapers carried the news.
After Jin Quan found out, he looked up to the sky and sighed. What he hated most in his life was the Japanese. Now that the Japanese have invaded the three northeastern provinces, the country has been lost, and the people are in ruins, he is really sad and inexplicable.
When Xiang Nan heard about this, he was also very angry. He wrote "On the Songhua River" specifically for this purpose, which was then telegraphed back to China and subsequently published in "Ta Kung Pao".
"My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China.
There are forest coal mines there
And there are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and fields
…
Mom and Dad, Mom and Dad.
when,
How can we get together together?!"
The moving lyrics, touching melody, and the grief and indignation of the country and family were quickly sung across the country, awakening the nation's enthusiasm and determination to resist Japan, and igniting the anti-Japanese beacon fire across China.
…
Entering the second year of junior high school, Leng Qingqiu completed the postgraduate course and officially graduated.
She originally wanted to continue studying for a PhD, but was dissuaded by Xiang Nan.
"Literature is a major that originally tests talents and works, but the academic requirements are not high. Throughout the ages, so many writers have never even gone to college, but they can still write works that are famous and popular throughout the ages." Xiang Nan laughed. Said, “On the contrary, those with PhDs in literature may not have a successful work.
Therefore, in my opinion, literature should still focus on creation, and it is not advisable to pursue high academic qualifications blindly. Moreover, pursuing high academic qualifications while neglecting creation is going in the opposite direction, seeking fish from the wood."
Leng Qingqiu felt that it made sense when he heard what he said.
So I no longer thought about pursuing a doctorate, but stayed at home and prepared to write a novel related to the Great Depression.
However, just a few days after she was about to start writing, Xiang Nan discovered that she was pregnant.
This is another good thing for the Jin family.
For this reason, Xiang Nan specially bought an island to celebrate.
…
In fact, after the stock market crash, Xiang Nan already had enough money to buy the best house in Sweden.
It's just that Leng Qingqiu still wanted to study at that time, and everyone had just suffered from the Great Depression. It was a time when people were in mourning, so he spent a huge sum of money to buy a villa, which made it easy for others to hate him.
Therefore, he waited for three years, waiting for Leng Qingqiu to graduate with a master's degree, and waiting for people to adapt to the Great Depression, before he spent money to buy his first mansion.
The mansion is located on a small island off the coast of Stockholm. The entire island covers an area of more than 900 acres. There is only one very large mansion, which can be said to be a single-family home.
The original owner of this mansion was Gustav Lagheim, a well-known Swedish rich man. He was once a tycoon in the financial world and president of Handelsbanken, with a net worth of as high as 50 million kronor.
This small island called Osleta was specially bought by Gustav and built into a villa for his family to use for weekend holidays.
Unfortunately, during the Great Depression that broke out in 2009, Handelsbanken failed to invest and lost more than 300 million kronor, causing the bank to become insolvent and declare bankruptcy.
Gustav also lost money due to investment failure, and his family fortune was reduced to zero overnight. He was transformed from a top industry giant into a super rich man with tens of millions of debts. In the end, he jumped into the sea and died because he could not bear the pressure.
The small island of Osleta was also auctioned for this reason, but due to the high price, it was repeatedly rejected. Only now was it acquired by Xiang Nan at a price of one million crowns.
The small island of Oresta covers an area of 1,000 acres. Not only does it have an almost incomparable sea view, but it is also a single-family home. You can buy it for only one million kronor, which is really worth it.
You must know that the property rights of this island are permanent and can be passed down to future generations. At that time, whether it is used for residence, vacation, or real estate development, it will be up to the island owner.
The reason why Xiang Nan wanted to buy the island was because of its cost-effectiveness and freedom.
…
After buying the small island of Oresta, Xiang Nan planted trees all over the island. Not only did he require the entire trees to be transplanted, but he also required them to be planted strictly according to the positions he determined, with no deviation from the tree.
His picky behavior baffled the tree planters, who felt that this Oriental was really too difficult to take care of.
If it weren't for the current Great Depression, it would be difficult to find a job to support the family, and they would not be willing to suffer this. But now in order to make ends meet, they can only listen to Xiang Nan's instructions and meticulously plant trees according to the positions he directed.
Fall down.
After the trees were planted, Xiang Nan moved his family to the island.
"Yanxi, why are there so many trees on this island?" Bai Xiuzhu looked at the trees on the island. In addition to apples, sweet pears, persimmons, cherries and other fruit trees, there are also spruce, pine, birch, poplar and so on.
She couldn't help but say in surprise.
She didn't know that these trees were actually planted by Xiang Nan, and she thought they were left by the original island owner.
"Who knows, maybe the original owner likes to plant trees." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, come with me and don't fall behind. This island is a bit strange, and you will get lost if you are not careful."
He then led them through the woods and zigzag to the mansion.
"Yan Xi, why is this road so difficult to walk, with twists and turns?" Leng Qingqiu said doubtfully.
After entering the woods, instead of walking straight, they turned left and right, and sometimes even walked backwards, which was really confusing. Just now, she failed to follow anyone and almost got lost.
"I heard that the original owner of this island believed in Loki, the evil god in Norse mythology, so he made this island weird." Xiang Nan explained, "So be careful and don't get separated. Otherwise, the island will become weird."
It’s so big, it’s hard to find if it gets lost.”
"No way?! So dangerous? Then you still want to buy this island?" Xiao Lian said in confusion.
"Isn't this good? It's hard for us to leave, and it's even harder for thieves to leave." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "This way, it won't be clean, and no one will bother us."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
…
After Xiang Nan bought the island, he deliberately planted those trees on the island according to the Qimen Dunjia technique taught by Huang Yaoshi.
In this way, if others want to go to the island to cause trouble, that is absolutely impossible, and it is better than any security measures.
Xiang Nan knew that the future was World War II. Although Sweden was not involved in the war, it was still better to be prepared.
Besides, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. After all, they are foreigners, and they have so much money, it is inevitable that they will not be coveted.
Now that this island is used as a base, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, long guns and short artillery can't do anything to him, it is like a peach blossom garden.
In order to better prepare for the upcoming World War II, Xiang Nan also built warehouses on the island and stored a large amount of supplies.
Such as canned food, sugar, fuel, honey, coffee, ham, cheese, flour, rice, charcoal, coal, red wine, white wine, cooking oil, etc.
