Grandpa Wu entered Shanghai.

The old man didn't want to go to Shanghai, and Wu Sunfu didn't insist. However, because the bandits in his hometown are too arrogant, and the Red Army in the neighboring province has the potential to start a prairie fire, it is really inappropriate for him to lie in his own home. For his safety and to show Wu Sunfu's filial piety, Wu Sunfu insisted on letting him go to town. The confusing urban landscape and the deviant changes of later generations made this old Wu Man, who was extremely feudal at home, deeply stimulated and died suddenly.

Briefly describe the death of old Wu Man.

Mr. Wu leads a quiet life in the country and never leaves home. In the past twenty-five years, he has devoted himself to reading the book "Induction on Mount Tai", with emphasis on warning that "all evils come first" and "filial piety of all virtues comes first". In order to avoid the "chaos of soldiers and bandits", he was taken to Shanghai by his family. The moment he set foot on the land of Shanghai metropolis, the bizarre modern civilization made him jumpy and afraid to take a look. As soon as I entered the Five Blessingg Gate, all kinds of hallucinations appeared in front of me, and eventually I died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

chapter two

Farewell to Lao Wu

At about five o'clock the next morning, Wu Fu's funeral began. Clothes hangers poured in.

Crowds of guests are called undertaker, but in fact they all have ulterior motives, either having fun (Xu et al.) or secretly trading (Zhao et al.).

The cooperation plan between Zhao and Wu Sunfu.

Zhao monk Zhongli conspired to do "long-term" things in the pavilion of Wu Mansion, buying low and selling high in stock trading, and making huge profits from it. They hope Tu Chu-chai and Wu Sun-fu can also attend. Although Tu Chu-chai was profitable, he was suspicious by nature and thought that the public debt that had been falling all the way was difficult to rise in a short time. Zhao told them that if they were willing to pay, they could ask the nationalist army to return, and they could speculate in government bonds and make a fortune. Tu Chu-chai could not help being moved. When Tu Chu-chai told Wu Sun-fu about Zhao's "plot", he immediately decided to do it.

Briefly describe why Wu Sunfu was worried when his grandfather Wu went to the funeral.

Wu Sun-fu received a telegram: "The peasants in the four townships are unstable, and the town is weak, and it is in danger." In other words, his assets such as pawn shops and money houses in his hometown Shuangqiao Town are about to be lost. Mo Gancheng, the accountant in the factory, brought news that the workers knew that the boss was going to reduce their salary again, so they closed the car and went slow. Wu Sun-fu was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, angry, depressed and disappointed.

chapter three

Wu Sunfu agreed to form a syndicate with Sun Jiren, Wang and others for his own benefit.

Zhu Yinqiu hoped that Wu Sun-fu would help him plead with Tu Chu-chai and extend the due mortgage. Wu Sun-fu asked Tu Chu-chai to give Zhu Yinqiu "80,000+70,000" on condition that Zhu's dried cocoons were used as collateral.

The relationship between Mrs. Wu Shaofu and Staff Officer Lei.

What happened between Staff Officer Lei and Mrs. Wu Shaofu?

Staff officer Lei is the old lover of Mrs. Wu Shaofu (Lin). While Wu Sunfu was away, he went to see Mrs. Wu Shaofu, poured out his love to her, and gave her a shabby young Werther and a withered white rose, which were their old pledges. Mrs. Wu Shaofu was confused and hugged Staff Officer Lei tightly.

chapter four

Shuangqiao town farmer storm

Uncle Zeng Canghai

Qili Bridge is coming * * *

Occupy a town

Briefly describe the ending of Zeng's father and son in peasant riots.

When Zeng Canghai fled in the gunfire, such as cleaning up the title deeds, IOUs, bankbooks, etc. Ah Jin (Zeng Canghai's informal little wife)' s ex-husband rushed in and caught the Tsengs' father and son. People cursed him, listed his sins of seizing private land, women and letting the police arrest and beat people, and then took the father and son away. Zeng Canghai was shot and killed because he was ambushed by Hong Changdang Corps on the road. Zeng Jiaju narrowly escaped, took advantage of the chaos to pretend to be a peasant army and ransacked Jinhua foreign goods store, and then fled to Shanghai to take refuge in Wu Sunfu.

Brief introduction of peasant riots in Shuangqiao town.

In Shuangqiao town, the peasant riot squad broke through the defense line of the local corps in Shuangqiao town. Wearing a red cloth around his neck and running around the street with various weapons in his hand, he took away some people who usually exploited farmers. They confronted the regiment that ambushed in the Red Square and set fire to it. Shuangqiao town fell.

The success of the riot broke Wu Sunfu's dream of a kingdom that he had worked hard for three years.

chapter five

The "Shuangqiao Kingdom" no longer exists, and Wu Sunfu hates the ineffective suppression of the revolutionary people by the Kuomintang army.

Wu Sunfu, who was absorbed in his career, didn't notice the abnormal expression of his young wife, and the couple couldn't communicate at all.

Wu Sunfu and others discussed the establishment of banks by the industrial sector with the aim of merging unsustainable small enterprises.

Wu Sunfu and Tu Yuewei met for the first time.

Briefly describe the situation that reflects Wu Sunfu's great ambition to develop national industry.

Wu Sun-fu took advantage of his father's funeral to discuss with three other people (Sun Jiren, Wang and Tang Yunshan) to jointly set up a bank to overthrow the so-called entrepreneurs who have no knowledge, means and courage, and "take the enterprise to his iron rice bowl". When Wu Sunfu read the draft of enterprise merger, he expected this: tall chimneys are like forests, smoking black smoke, ships are braving the wind and waves, and cars are passing through Yuanye. He couldn't help laughing.

Summarize the tragic love story of Mrs. Wu Shao.

Lin fell in love with the girl of her dreams when she was a girl. But Lei Ming immediately went to the south and began his military career. Lin and others married Wu Sunfu who was arbitrary, heartless and career-oriented, and Wu Sunfu didn't like him. She has been empty and lonely since she got married. Meeting Lei Ming aggravated her pain. In this way, she maintained a seemingly inseparable marriage with Wu Sunfu in the long-term depression and loneliness.

Briefly describe the first meeting between Wu Sunfu and Tu.

Wu Sun-fu originally wanted to put the responsibility for the strike on Tu Weiyue. Wu Sunfu looked at Tu Youyou coldly at first, but Tu Youyou was as cool as a cucumber. Wu secretly grateful. But I heard that Tu was introduced by his grandfather. He contradicted himself in the strike and thought Tu was insane and wanted to fire him. Later, Tu argued and analyzed the situation. Finally, Wu ordered all inspection vehicles in the factory to start from Mogancheng and obey Tu's orders.

Chapter vi

Fan Bowen confessed to Pei Linshan in vain, thinking that he was going to commit suicide.

Fang Hui sympathized with Fan Bowen.

The petty bourgeoisie (Fan Bowen, Du Fu, Wu Zhisheng, You) made great satire on Zeng Jiaju.

The Lins sisters talked in secret.

What are Wu Sun-fu's and Lin He's attitudes towards Fan Po-wen and communication?

Wu Sun-fu thought that Fan Po-wen would only show off his tongue and play tricks on women. He told Lin not to let Lin Peishan associate with Fan Po-wen. Because of Wu Sunfu's opposition, Pei Linshan did not accept Fan Bowen's love. Pei Linshan's idea of finding her sister, Lin suggested that she choose someone to be her lifelong companion, but Shan felt that being with someone, such as her sister and brother-in-law, was monotonous.

Chapter VII

Wu Sunfu was caught between three lines of fire.

Figure Yue Wei dealing with workers.

Wu Sunfu heard from Li Yuting that Zhao wanted to be a comprador and control commercial capital.

Pei Lin-shan's bleak piano music made Wu Sun-fu even more angry.

Both fronts won. Briefly describe how Tu Yuewei solved the first industrial strike.

In response to the workers' strike, Wu Sunfu hired Tu Yuewei. One is to secretly buy off Yao Jinfeng, the head of the female worker, and disintegrate the labor movement organization. When Yao Jinfeng's lackey status was discovered, he ordered Wu to fire Yao and promoted Xue's female workers. In this way, Xue was regarded as a real running dog and Yao's prestige was restored, but the workers refused to accept the disposal of Yao Jinfeng. So, as a concession, Wu withdrew his order, didn't fire Yao, and comforted the women workers to give them a day off. Wu Sun-fu complied, and the strike really subsided.

Chapter VIII

Yun Feng failed to pay bail, and wanted to use her daughter as bait to get Zhao's information.

Feng Yunqing's decision after the failure of issuing bonds publicly.

An instigated Feng Yunqing to persuade his 17-year-old daughter Feng to spy on Zhao's secrets with a "honey trap" in order to make money in the public debt market. Feng Yunqing was tempted, and only three thoughts were spinning in his mind: his daughter was beautiful, his money was lovely, and Lao Zhao was easy to bite. What a little affection between father and daughter, what a little moral concept, have been swallowed up by money and selfish nature. He finally persuaded his daughter to use the honey trap.

Chapter 9

May 30th anniversary (five years)

Entrusted by Wu Sunfu, he negotiated with Zhao and witnessed Zhao's dissolute life.

Zhang Susu, Fan Bowen and Du Xin, what did you do on Memorial Day on May 30th?

Zhang Susu took part in a short parade, and then Wu Zhisheng pulled her out of the crowd and went to Dasanyuan Restaurant to escape the chaos. Excited and scared, she kept talking to Lin Peishan.

Fan Bowen sat alone in the hotel, watching the parade downstairs. After listening to Zhang's words, I took the opportunity to show off my bravery in the May 30th Movement to Zhang and Lin Peishan, laughing and sighing at the degeneration and boredom of the mass movement.

Du Xin You expressed disdain for mass movements, thinking that they were the nonsense and impulse of uneducated people. In the face of backchat, he simply thought that China was hopeless.

What was the result of the negotiation between Wu Tuo and Zhao?

Zhao knew that Wu Sunfu not only wanted to annex Zhu Yinqiu's silk factory at a low price, but also wanted to grab a lot of dried cocoons at a lower price. So he grabbed Wu Sunfu by the throat, preferring to lose 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in public debt rather than compromise on Zhu Yinqiu's mortgage. He also asked Shang Zhongli to join Wu Sunfu's Zhong Yi Trust Company as the general manager.

What does Wu Sunfu mean by "third-line operations"? First, resolve the strike of Yuhua Silk Factory and maintain normal operation;

Second, rectify the eight small factories acquired, lay off employees and eliminate redundancies, reduce budgets and strengthen management;

Third, in the bond market, beat Zhao and break the economic blockade.

Among them, the struggle in the public debt market is the most important and risky line.

What does Li Yuting's absurd picture "Wu Sunfu grabbed Zhu Yinqiu's throat and Zhao grabbed Wu Sunfu's hair from behind" specifically mean?

In the process of purchasing Zhu Yinqiu's silk factory, Wu Sunfu tried his best to lower Zhu's price, so he said that he "grabbed Zhu Yinqiu by the throat"; On the other hand, in the bond market, Zhao bullied the weak and feared the hard, and pursued Wu hard, bent on letting the company go bankrupt and Wu Sunfu go bankrupt, so he said that he "grabbed Wu Sunfu by the throat".

Chapter 10

Li Yuting didn't want Wu Sunfu to go to war with Zhao, so he always planned to be a peacemaker.

Zhong Yi Trust Company merged seven or eight small factories.

Wu Sunfu annexed Zhu Yinqiu's factory.

Du Zhuzhai doesn't want to fight with Zhao, but wants to quit the company.

Wu Sunfu's assets in Shuangqiao Town.

Shuangqiao town in my hometown has changed again. I had hoped to extend the money recovered from Duanyang Festival to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which made 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in cash go up in smoke. Wu Sunfu flew into a rage. He wanted to close the shops and factories in the town, but Fei Xiaosheng reported that the provincial government ordered them to continue their business. After careful consideration, Wu Sunfu maintained the operation of shops and factories on the grounds of "doing a little duty to his hometown".

Wu Sunfu annexed Zhu Yinqiu's silk factory.

When he bought eight factories in Zhong Yi, Wu Sunfu took over the silk factory in Chen Junyi by himself, and even created a public opinion that Zhu Yinqiu was too stupid and heartless to be an enterprise. Ask Tu Chu-chai to force Chu Yin-chiu to get a loan; I also lent a sum of money to Zhu Yinqiu, asking Zhu Yinqiu's cocoon as collateral, and only gave it a one-month deadline. As a result, Zhu Yinqiu's silk factory was annexed. Even Mrs. Wu Shaofu said, "You are really poisonous!" ; Zhao let go, because he knew that what Wu Sunfu needed at this time was not cocoon, but money. )

Briefly describe Wu Sunfu's urging Du Zhuzhai to join hands with him to defeat Zhao.

Wu Sun-fu learned from Tang Yunshan that Zhao was up to something, so he advised Tu Chu-chai to chip in 500,000 yuan to suppress the bond market. Du thought it was dangerous and disagreed. Wu Mou also advised Du to collect 500,000 yuan from him, and constantly encouraged and stirred him up. Du said, "I won't do anything risky" and refused. Finally, Du advised Wu not to fight with Zhao, otherwise there would be no good result.

Briefly describe the story of Wu Sunfu's courage, determination and courage in Midnight.

Wu Sunfu is ambitious and always wants to expand his career. Wu Sunfu and a few friends organized the Zhong Yi Trust Company, and with an iron fist, they bought eight small daily necessities factories worth more than 300,000 yuan for 50,000 yuan, ready to expand, "to spread their light bulbs, thermos bottles, parasols and soaps all over the hinterland of China" and "fatally hurt those small factories of the same line newly transplanted from Japan to Shanghai", so as to manipulate the lifeline of the national economy.

Bankruptcy reorganization protection

After meeting Han, I inquired about Zhao's residence and looked around. I happened to meet Feng and overheard Zhao's information.

Feng Yunqing got false information from her daughter.

How did Liu Yuying get the news from Zhao and sell it to Wu Sunfu?

Find Zhao's residence, and find him having a private talk with a monk. Zhao blamed Liu for coming uninvited and asked where his address came from. Liu lied about learning from Xu, saying that Xu and Wu Sunfu were together. They also talked about securities trading and "guns". Zhao Xin thought it was true, discussed countermeasures with the business, and asked Liu to avoid it in the bedroom. Liu overheard Zhao Heshang selling arms and Zhao's plan to hold Wu back. After analysis, Liu thought it was definitely valuable to Wu Sunfu.

Briefly describe the tragic plot of Feng Yunqing's father and daughter. ("honey trap")

Feng Yunqing gave his only daughter, Feng, to Zhao in order to recover the loss of his failed investment in public debt, so as to inquire about Zhao's market situation in the public debt market. It turned out to be self-defeating, and his daughter had long forgotten about it. In order to cope with her father's questioning, she casually said "cow", but Zhao actually sent a "short". In the end, Feng Yunqing had nothing but money.

Chapter XII

Liu Yuying sold information to Wu Sunfu.

Zhong Yi company is short of money and forced to issue bonds, and eight factories are in urgent need of funds. Wu Sunfu decided to lower his salary. Buy a stage for the strike. )

When Wu Sunfu came home, he lost his temper with his family who were enjoying the cool.

Wu Sunfu ordered Tu Yuewei.

Briefly describe a story of Wu Sunfu and Zhao "fighting" at midnight.

Zhao wanted to merge Wu Sunfu's enterprises, so he spread rumors that Wu Sunfu's bank did not pay interest on time and encouraged investors to withdraw their deposits. Wu Sun-fu made a decisive decision and posted a notice to inform shareholders that if they want to withdraw overdue money within half a month, they can be especially flexible and the interest will be calculated on a daily basis. Only this move put an end to Zhao's rumors.

Wu Sunfu's measures to solve the shortage of funds.

Zhong Yi Company has limited funds. If Wu Sun-fu wants to be a public debt and expand the eight newly merged factories, he has to pay the workers. And the war is still going on, and the products cannot be sold; The original contact of 654.38+ ten thousand yuan in cash failed again. Money has become a burning event. The company had to use all the tricks to raise funds. Finally, we discussed the problem of rectifying the factory, and made plans to lay off employees, reduce wages (20%) and increase working hours. (Malicious exploitation of workers' labor)

Brief introduction to the negotiations before the strike in Wu and Tu.

Wu Sunfu was sitting in his study, while Du quietly came in to discuss with him ways to stop the workers' strike. Wu Sunfu wants to solve the problem by force. Tu Yuewei asked Wu Sunfu to give him three days to solve the problem by force. Wu Sun-fu first flatly refused, then thought about it and agreed.

Chapter 13

Tu Weiyue made arrangements for the anti-strike work.

The workers have a meeting.

Briefly describe Tu's anti-strike deployment.

Tu, Jane, Gui Changlin and Pockmarked Li got together according to the prior agreement. Tu incited them to use three points against the workers and seven points against Qian Baosheng of the same factory. Jane talked about the workers' reaction to the pay cut. Tu Rangzhen incited women workers to oppose Qian Bao and others; Let pockmarked Li gather twenty associates to monitor the actions of female workers; Let Gui Changlin win more hearts and minds, and at the same time find out all the ins and outs of He Xiuzhu and Axin Zhang.

Tu went to see Zhu, who had an appointment in advance. He bribed Zhu to get a promotion. Zhu resolutely refused.

Briefly describe the workers' meeting before the strike.

Zhu, Axin Zhang and others went to Yao Jinfeng's house for a meeting to discuss the strike. They drove Qian and Sister Zhou away first, and then discussed how to break into the factory. After receiving the report that "seven or eight' white faces' have been walking around recently", Yao Jinfeng took advantage of the situation and advocated dismissing everyone.

After making sure that no one was following her, Chen Yuee found Cai Zhen and Ma Jin. They are the leaders and initiators of the general strike in Zhabei Silk Factory. Chen Yuee reported to them the situation of Yuhua Silk Factory. Cai Zhen decided to let Yuee go on strike before going to the factory. Ma Jin thinks it needs careful consideration. They had an argument and then began to discuss all the arrangements after the strike.

Chapter 14

Strike struggle

Tu Yue Wei suppressed the second industrial strike.

The petty bourgeoisie talks nonsense about how to avoid strikes.

Wu Sun-fu was upset and depressed: strike and return the goods.

Brief introduction of workers' strike.

The next day, all the silk cars in Yuhua Silk Factory stopped working. The women workers rushed out of the workshop and rushed to the notice room of the management department, tearing up the notice of wage deduction just posted. Angry women workers thunderously shouted slogans, demanding to get rid of Tu Yue Wei and others. Tu adopts soft tactics, with the cooperation of Gui Changlin and Yao Jinfeng. The women workers stopped attacking the management office and turned to the gate. After Zhang Axin shouted "Rush to the Factory", the response of the masses shook the square again. The women workers went straight to Wu Sunfu's new factory. Within an hour, the silk factories in Zhabei, large and small, went on strike.

Briefly describe Wu Sunfu's siege in the factory.

In the face of the workers' strike, Wu Sunfu had to visit the factory himself, but just as his car was about to leave the factory, there was a sudden cry outside the factory, and countless women workers crowded in and surrounded Wu Sunfu's car, motionless. The bodyguard always jumped on the pedal, pulled out his pistol and looked murderous. However, the women workers did not retreat, and some stones and clods were thrown from the rear of the women workers' team. Sitting in the car, Wu was livid and shouted, "Drive! Full horsepower! " Later, with Tu's help, the car drove away from the back door of the factory.

Chapter 15

Anti-strike repression.

Strike struggle

Briefly describe how Tu Yuewei quelled the second industrial strike.

The second strike, carrot and stick, sent rogue pockmarked Li, forcibly suppressed the strike rally, arrested workers' representatives and * * *; Faced with the workers' rhetoric, they bribed people's hearts and lured the arrested He Xiumei to recruit the underground party list. When the attempt failed, he resolutely suppressed it.

In the workers' movement, Ma Jin, the leader of the movement, had an argument with Ke Zuofu, a representative sent by his superiors. Simply put.

During the strike, the superior Parker Zoff came to guide the workers' movement. Ma Jin, who has been among the workers for a long time, thinks that the strike losses are great, so he should stop acting blindly and save his strength to fight again. Ke Zuo Fu severely criticized her as a "right-leaning mistake". Ma Jin thought that his comrades should not be sent to "commit suicide". Kozuofu finally asked Ma Jin to obey the instructions of his superiors with "this is an order".

Chapter 16

The strike struggle failed.

Workers' representatives rushed into the residence of Zhou Zhongwei, the owner of the match factory.

The match factory was given to the Japanese and Zhou Zhongwei became a comprador. Briefly describe the fate of the red-headed match factory.

Because imported matches occupy the market, the national match industry is in decline. The red-headed match factory, which could not support itself, had to stop working, and the workers came to the boss Zhou Zhongwei's house to protest against the shutdown. There are only two ways before Zhou Zhongwei: one is to cooperate with foreigners, and the other is to cooperate with Zhong Yi companies. Zhou Zhongwei intends to choose the latter. When he came to the company, he found that Wang was busy announcing that eight factories would reduce working hours and output, and Zhou's hope was shrinking bit by bit. Wang rejected Zhou's request on the grounds of lack of funds. Zhou finally decided to find a foreigner.

Chapter 17

Wu Sunfu was happy.

Consult with Zhao.

Fang Hui wants to go back to her hometown.

The bank in Shuangqiao Town lost money.

Negotiate with others to deal with Zhao's last blog.

On the "cooperation" between Wu and Zhao.

Wu Zhao confronted him face to face. Zhao wants to invest 3 million yuan in the trust company, and the first batch will pay 500,000 yuan in advance, provided that all the company's property is used as a guarantee. This is actually Zhao's plan to annex the company-if Wu doesn't accept Zhao's suggestion, Zhao will impose a large-scale economic blockade on it, and its funds will not be able to support the expansion of the factory or maintain the day when product sales improve; If Zhao's conditions are accepted, the company may be annexed by Zhao. (Surrender, bankruptcy)

Briefly describe the plot of Wu Sunfu's "Fire is more severe than usual".

Everything went wrong. In order to get rid of boredom, Wu Sunfu frantically sought excitement. It was already night 1 half past ten when I got home. Wu Sun-fu was even angrier when the servants and maids were secretly playing cards and the ladies were not at home. He shouted and cursed loudly in the living room. The servants feel that the fire of the third master is not as hot as usual tonight.

What is Wu Sunfu's plan in the face of Zhao's "cooperation"?

Among the eight major factories.

Do public debt.

-"Fighting Lao Zhao again".

Huifang "closed the door" and recited "Induction on the Tai Shang".

Fang Hui encouraged Zhang Susu to go to Liwa Lida Village.

After Fang Hui left, Wu Sunfu flew into a rage.

Wu Sunfu continued to fight Zhao.

Briefly describe the struggle between Wu and Zhao in the bond market.

Public debt has reached a critical point. The exhausted Zhao showed his trump card again. He called on the government to ban short selling in the name of "domestic bond maintenance conference". Wu Sunfu, who happened to sell short, didn't believe it. Wang Hefu replied with a wry smile that Zhao was not only capable, but also went directly to the meeting of the board of directors and brokers of the sports exchange to urge them to send a document to more than double the seller's deposit. That is to say, a penny from Lao Zhao can support two pennies from Wu Sunfu. Wu Sun-fu, desperate, has one last hope, that is, to invite Tu Chu-chai to join in, throw his abundant funds out of the window, or fight for them.

Chapter 19

In the last battle, Wu Sunfu lost.

A brief description of Wu Sunfu's anxiety. Wu Sunfu gave a grimace of a smile in his sleep, then frowned, gritted his teeth and jumped all over. Suddenly he opened his eyes, his red eyes transfixed and his forehead was gradually covered with sweat. He got up and left the bed in a hurry, and when he washed his face, he saw Zhao in his dream appear in the washbasin with a smirk of victory. Inadvertently walked to the mirror and looked back, Wu Sunfu saw that his face was a picture of defeat. He felt that the room was full of gloating eyes that laughed at him. He couldn't stand this hard time and went out by car.

Briefly describe the plot of Wu Sunfu's final fiasco in Midnight.

Wu Sun-fu put all his eggs in one basket, throwing out 654.38 million plus 500,000 bonds to make a final duel with Zhao. According to all kinds of information, he decided to be a "short", and Zhao suddenly used a "long" to clean up all the company's funds. At the critical moment, Du Zhuzhai took advantage of their low price to stand on Zhao's side and made a lot of money. Wu Sun-fu's spy, Zhao's aunt, is actually an insider at both ends. However, Han, who was loyal to "friendship", unexpectedly ran away from the battlefield ... In a blink of an eye, Zhong Yi Company was wiped out and Wu Sunfu was a complete failure.
