Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 124 Liaoyang civil uprising

"Brigade Commander Wu, what this young master is talking about is indeed a way of making money. Many people have starved to death over there, and the price of food is sky-high. The villain dare not talk about cooperation. I just ask you two to give me a bite." For food, the villain is willing to run errands and do chores. I have dealt with Russians these years, understand their language, and know their work habits, which can save you a little trouble."

Wang Tieshan bowed his body with a very humble attitude, but his eloquence was still very good, and he kept promoting himself.In fact, Zhang Tinglan had noticed this guy a long time ago. Wang Tieshan was able to find a way to smuggle money into Russia by himself, and he has been in business for many years, which proves that this guy is not weak in brain power and is willing to endure hardships.From him, Zhang Tinglan even saw the demeanor of the future generations. Now the Chinese are conservative, and what they lack are talents who dare to think and do.

"Mr. Wang, you have to know that smuggling is a matter of losing your head. Aren't you afraid that the Russians will pursue it?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of. No one wants to die, but being poor is worse than death. As long as you can give the villain this chance, I will do my best. This bloody horse is a gift from you, and I will share it with you." Wen don't."

"A bit bold." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I will give you a chance. You are now the manager of Taonan Branch of Fengtian Trading Company. As long as you manage this business route well, your benefits will not be lost." Wang Tieshan nodded quickly and said yes, he had known about the huge profits of smuggling all these years ago, but he was alone, with limited commodities and no one to protect him, so he had to hand over most of the profits he made.

If there was an army backing him, he wouldn't have to worry about those bandits. Moreover, according to Zhang Tinglan's tone, he still has strong strength and can get a large amount of goods, which is definitely not what he used to do.The money in it is gone, even if you drink some soup, it is much better than doing it alone, so Wang Tieshan is very tempted and wants to join in at all costs.

Wu Junsheng didn't care whether he used Wang Tieshan or not, he only cared about his own interests.

"Nephew Humble Words, tell me what you are going to transport, so that you know what you are doing."

"Currently targeting Russia, we are walking on two legs. There are both formal trade and smuggling. The formal trade is signed with the Allies. The military supplies produced by Fengtian are directly sold to countries such as Britain, France and Russia, including military food, military uniforms, quilts, and tents. , military boots, belts, etc. We sell whatever we can produce.”

With the deepening of cooperation.Fengtian has good quality and low price.It has been recognized by the United Kingdom and Russia. Although Zhang Tinglan frequently adds ingredients to the cans, I have to say that the seasoning is still very good. Compared with American cans, Chinese cans are still delicious.

In addition to canned food, other military foods have been developed.The most important thing among them is dried noodles, which are convenient to eat, and smooth and delicious, in the dark and damp tunnel.Eating a bowl of hot noodles is considered a good enjoyment, and the dried noodles produced by Fengtian are also equipped with seasoning packets, which are actually considered primitive instant noodles.

The UK has arranged special purchasing personnel in Fengtian. After seeing the dried noodles, these people are full of praise. They have already ordered the first batch and sent them to Europe for tasting. If the soldiers can accept it, they will immediately expand the scale of the order.

Facts have proved that dried noodles are more successful than canned food. After being shipped to Europe, not only the soldiers on the front line, but even ordinary people got some through government rations. They were very interested in this kind of food from the East.Before that, they may only know Italian macaroni, but they don't know that there are similar foods in distant China.

Many soldiers cook Chinese canned food and dried noodles together, and the taste of the canned food will permeate into the noodles, making them fragrant and refreshing. Soon this way of eating spreads, even soldiers who don’t like noodles , will also make some thick soup, so as to swallow the dry and hard bread.

As for those housewives, they often cook a little vegetable or meat they find with vermicelli, and then the whole family enjoys a hot and delicious meal.During the war, these Europeans lowered their requirements again and again. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they are good things, and the food produced in China seems to be better than Americans, and the price is also cheaper.

These alone are enough, the British government has decided to further increase investment in Fengtian, turning Fengtian into a production base for British military food.

Don't underestimate these inconspicuous things like canned noodles. It was these things that helped Fengtian earn the first precious pound. With this money, Fengtian purchased a batch of machines and cultivated a group of workers. Laid the foundation for the next development.

Zhang Tinglan wants to establish a branch factory in Taonan because of the need to expand production capacity. Taonan is closer to Mongolia, it is easier to obtain raw materials, and the labor cost is lower than Fengtian. It is a very good investment location.

"We can smuggle normal trade goods, whether it is food, clothing or use, bypass Russian customs, and then sell them directly to the bottom Russian people through the black market. They will definitely flock to them. In addition, we also To smuggle some luxury goods needed by the Russian upper class, such as high-end clothing, jewelry, furniture, and even cars, we can get them as long as they need them. Alcohol is also a very important part, and Russians are addicted to alcohol , from top to bottom, our Kanto shochu is selling very well in the Far East, and the profit can be more than five times."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan lowered her voice: "These are just legal trades. In fact, I am planning to smuggle drugs to Russia. This is the real huge profit!"

When Wu Junsheng heard that drugs were going to be smuggled into Russia, he was immediately stunned: "Zhuoyan, the big powers sold us opium, don't they themselves know that it is a harmful thing, and would they still buy it?"

"Why not, the great powers are not monolithic, and their people are also very different. There are many drug addicts, and the Russian economy has almost collapsed. The people can't see a way out. It's a good thing to smoke some opium and relax!"

In fact, Zhang Tinglan had already arranged for Chen Qiming to refine morphine before coming here. Of course, Zhang Tinglan did not disclose the plan for large-scale smuggling, but only told him to use it as an analgesic.In fact, when all drugs were first developed, they were used to relieve human suffering and were widely used in medicine. However, people later discovered that these pain-relieving drugs have serious dependence and become harmful drugs.

Zhang Tinglan is well aware of the dangers of drugs.How many people have gone bankrupt because of drugs, and their families have been destroyed.But he has no moral burden to sell drugs to Russia. If it is allowed, it would be better to sell drugs to Japan, or even Europe and the United States.No matter how many difficulties this group of robbers wearing civilized masks have brought to China, it is always appropriate to charge some interest.

Wu Junsheng listened carefully to Zhang Tinglan's introduction, and basically figured out the key to smuggling. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about Zhuoyan, as long as the goods are transported to Taonan. If you dare not open your eyes, I will treat them as Mongolian bandits!"

Wu Datong has a ruthless spirit in doing things. If anyone dares to block his way of making money, Old Wu will definitely go down and die.

"I suggest that you better set up a horse convoy. It is specially responsible for transportation and adopts a unified logo. It shows our identities. Let those bandits dare not act rashly. And this is also a way to make money. I have already set up one in Fengtian. The effect Very good, when you don’t need to smuggle, you can also help those merchants transport goods, and there is a lot of profit.”

The transportation team formed by Zhang Tinglan is actually a bit of a car dealership.Among them, there are not only carriages belonging to the transportation team, but also foreign carriages are accepted. As long as you pay a little membership fee, you can get asylum.Therefore, it is very popular with the handlebar style.

"I asked Kaijie to come forward and organize all the handlebars in Taonan. This kid has been with me for so many years, but he didn't get any benefits. Let him also save some money for his wife."

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and then said: "There is one more thing to remember, that is, when we smuggle, we cannot accept Russian rubles, and we must exchange them for gold as much as possible. Russia is already in such a mess, and their money is not reliable. , maybe it will be worthless at any time!"

Of course Zhang Tinglan couldn't tell them about the Russian Revolution, so he could only remind them in this way. Both Wu Junsheng and Wang Tieshan nodded in agreement.

Wu Junsheng is also a vigorous and resolute person. After discussing with Zhang Tinglan, he immediately sent people to Mongolia to buy cattle and sheep, and set aside special land for building factories. Wu Kaijie was also preparing to set up a horse team. The situation in Russia and Mongolia required him to formulate some concrete plans.

Compared with them, Zhang Tinglan was much more relaxed. He first sent a telegram to Fengtian, and Qiao Lanyun, who was in charge of smuggling, immediately rushed to Taonan with some capable assistants to direct various affairs in person.Although she is a woman, she handles things in the manner of a man, and she pays the most attention to efficiency. With her command, everything will be straightened out quickly.

Zhang Tinglan is also happy to be at leisure. His greatest pleasure is to look at that haughty and haughty horse in a daze. This guy has been in Zhang Tinglan's hands for a few days, but his temper is still astonishing. At most, Zhang Tinglan is only allowed to touch it. Fur, and the time can't be too long, otherwise the uncle will lose his temper.

"Brother, I think you are a bitch. This guy is good-looking, but he is not obedient at all, and he can't ride. What's the use of keeping him!"

Zhang Tingshu complained full of complaints. He also loved this horse very much at first, and tried every means to please it. He got the best fodder. Master Zhang Er wanted to climb on the horse's back while it was grazing with its head down, but it didn't work. When he sat up, Ma turned his body violently and threw Zhang Tingshu out at once.

And this is not over yet, this guy even kicked Zhang Tingshu viciously at Zhang Tingshu who fell on the ground with his hind hoof. Sensitive, he managed to avoid it, but since then, he has no affection for this irascible war horse.

"Second brother, this little guy is less than one and a half years old, just like a child who hasn't grown up, you have to be patient, as the saying goes, gold and stone are as good as you are, and you will be accepted sooner or later. The ancients often said that raising a horse Compared with a gentleman, a beast is also a human being, so it is wrong for you to always think about riding it."

"Brother, you don't have a fever!" Zhang Tingshu said, and stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Tinglan's forehead.

"When did you become so kind and patient? This is not the big brother in my impression."

"Then what does it look like in your impression?"

"Insidious, cunning, greedy, and a bit hypocritical!" Zhang Tingshu wanted to continue, but Zhang Tinglan's big slap fell down hard.

After getting along for a few days, it is not without progress. At least this horse is willing to let Zhang Tinglan get close, and Zhang Tinglan even named it Liu Guang.

Early in the morning, Zhang Tinglan rode her big black horse, pulled Liu Guang, out of Taonan City, and came to the school field where the cavalry was trained, and began to run briskly around the school field. Liu Guang seemed to be in a very good mood. That's right, I kept sniffing, and after running, Master Liu Guang rubbed Zhang Tinglan's face with his big head for the first time, but this guy only gave a little sunshine, and then he looked indifferent again, but it also made Zhang Tinglan Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed.

Everything is filled with joy and sorrow, and as soon as he returned to Taonan, trouble came to him.

"Brother Tinglan, there has been a civil uprising in Liaoyang. Tens of thousands of hungry people have besieged big landlords. My father tells you to meet Fengtian as soon as possible and discuss how to deal with it!" (To be continued...)
