Seeing that Tang Dao was so confident, he also devised a novel system of paying insurance premiums to be responsible for compensation. Although the insurance premiums to be paid are slightly higher, as long as the factory is not corrupted, there will be money in the end. Everyone is working on it.
The anxious textile factory owner was still happy.
These people are all human beings. As long as Tang Dao can ensure that there will be no military disasters, the biggest hidden worry has been eliminated. As for how to coordinate the relationship with the local military and government in the northwest, as long as money and grinding are used, the devil can be pushed away.
Okay, this kind of routine shouldn't be too simple for those who have been in shopping malls for a long time.
The people of Yu Province have a good capacity for drinking. Naturally, they were so happy that they toasted to Tang Dao. There are no three- or five-cent wine glasses here. They are all bowls for eating. Even if you only pour the bottom of the bowl, there will be at least one or two.
There is more than enough, but Tang Dao does not reject anyone who comes, and the wine is drunk until it is dry.
As the saying goes: The quality of wine depends on the character! The reason why Chinese people have to do business in the wine shop between changing glasses is not the amount of wine, but the attitude of drinking.
Wine is difficult to drink, but if you can’t even overcome it with alcohol, what else can your customers expect from you? It’s such a simple truth.
Seeing how heroic Tang Dao was, a group of businessmen led by Jia Dongxing gained even more trust in Tang Dao.
There were also smart people at the banquet. Seeing the fierce fight between Tang Dao and a group of people from the Textile Association, they couldn't help but feel jealous, so they took the opportunity of toasting to come over to inquire. I heard that Tang Dao pointed out a clear way to the Textile Association to move the factory to the northwest.
, but his mind was also moved.
They all asked Tang Dao to give them advice on where to go. The merchants here came from all walks of life, including grain shops, clothing shops, horse shops, cigarette factories, and even one who ran a brothel.
Tang Dao also felt dizzy after hearing this.
The textile industry can move to the northwest because cotton is abundant there and there is no shortage of raw materials, so the cost can be reduced instead of increasing. However, these service industries require a large number of people.
The barren place in the northwest where trees don't grow may not be suitable for them.
"Go to Sichuan Province!" Tang Dao finally gave a clear answer.
According to the battle situation in the past time and space, the Battle of Xuzhou will be completed within three months. Although the Battle of Taierzhuang severely damaged the Japanese army in North China and won a great victory on the local battlefield, it was still a strategic failure.
As the Japanese army, unwilling to accept defeat, continued to deploy troops and generals, the Fifth War Zone began a strategic retreat. The two major transportation arteries of Longhai Line and Han Line finally fell into the hands of the enemy. After obtaining these two important transportation lines, the Japanese army began to rely on them to transport troops.
, the troops will be directed towards Jiangxia, the current capital, and central China will soon be in danger.
These businessmen are so eager to move their industries, on the one hand, because of their own interests, and on the other hand, because they do not want to be slaves to the country and do business under the hands of the Japanese. These are all worthy of encouragement.
In the later period, when the Japanese occupied the big city, they no longer behaved as beastly as Jinling. It was not because they found their conscience unwilling to kill anymore, but because they needed the industry and commerce in the city to generate value to support their ever-expanding war activities and reduce the burden at home.
If a considerable part of the industry and commerce in the city could be relocated before they occupied it, it would also be a blow to Japan.
"Although Sichuan Province is located in the southwest and is surrounded by mountains and has inconvenient transportation, it also makes it strategically safe. Moreover, it is densely populated. The population of Sichuan Province alone reaches 60 million!" Tang Dao said his story
reason.
Of course, in order not to shock the world, Tang Dao has not said that it will not be long before various government departments temporarily staying in Jiangxia will move from Jiangxia to eastern Sichuan, along with a large number of factories, schools and a large population.
According to statistics, in 1933, there were only 415 factories and handicraft workshops in Shancheng. After the war broke out, more than 400 factories moved to Chongqing, increasing the number of industrial and mining enterprises in the city to 1,690, accounting for one-third of the total number of factories in the country at that time.
1; and the number of colleges and universities has reached more than 50, ranking first in the country.
In addition, there are also refugees from North China and East China who were forced to leave their homes due to the outbreak of war. This is considered to be a rare population migration in the history of the Chinese nation. No one can count the specific number of this great population migration, but according to the most conservative
The estimate is also around 20 million.
The first stop for refugees who left their homes was the temporary capital of Jiangxia. Then as the war progressed, people continued to flee to Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, such as "safe areas" covered with mountains. Just the capital city of Shancheng, there was an influx of people.
More than one million people have immigrated, and the immigrant population accounts for more than half of the original population of the mountain city.
Although the mountain city had been decided as the capital as early as November last year, after Tang Dao said this, all the businessmen were relieved one after another, and some people who were still hesitant also moved a little more.
Determination to leave.
Although Tang Dao didn't say it clearly, they could sense from it that even Tang Dao, an iron-blooded soldier who resolutely resisted the war, was not optimistic about the current war situation.
However, Tang Dao did not favor one over the other. He, Lei Xiong, Gu Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan each walked around in the VIP client area holding wine bowls, giving these 'celebrities' enough face.
When they returned to Jia Dongxing's table, they were already satiated. Seeing Tang Dao return, a group of bosses gave Tang Dao back to the main seat, put Tang Dao on the table again, and poured more
After drinking, a group of uncles looked at Tang Dao with "weird" faces.
This made Tang Dao also think about it in his mind. This is what he wants! Could it be that after discussing it for a while, he felt that the 'insurance fee' was too high?
It stands to reason that Tang Dao gave these textile industry tycoons time to discuss. They could list some detailed terms now, then listen to Tang Dao's opinions and modify them, and sign the contract before leaving.
They received enough guarantees to move all the textile factories to a place in the northwest. Tang Dao even helped them think of a city. Xianyang on the edge of Chang'an is not far from the Guanzhong Plain and not far from northern Shaanxi. It has 100,000 sets of military uniforms a year.
No matter it is blocked or not, it is easy to transport.
Yes, Tang Dao has no intention of asking for the 'insurance premium' of up to 100,000 sets of military uniforms a year. It is a gift from Tang Dao to his own people, although it will only account for a small amount of his own people who will expand to millions in the future.
It's a small proportion, but even small mosquitoes are nothing more than meat. The big bosses among our own people are absolutely delighted with this gift.
What Tang Dao really needs is those thousands of "customized" military uniforms. Maybe after knowing Tang Dao's demand, Jia Dongxing and his group will cry. This so-called fraction is no cheaper than the 100,000 military uniforms with a cost of 0.5 oceans.
Tang Dao has strict requirements for the military uniforms of the Si Xing Regiment in the future. Let’s not talk about the special functions of being rainproof, fireproof and stabproof. Its demand for sturdiness and wear resistance is far beyond what the current coarse cotton military uniforms can match.
Yes, and what the special squadron needs is camouflage, and technological innovation is required in dyeing.
Of course, whether you cry or not is another matter. Since you got on Tang Tuanzuo's pirate ship, it would be so easy to get off. What's more, they were the ones who rushed up and tied them up.
That's right, it's not just the so-called contract that can bind all of this. Businessmen are far more willing to spend money on doing business than ordinary people imagine.
Therefore, Tang Dao's inquiry has nothing to do with any contract for the time being.
"What are you doing? If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask." Tang Dao looked confused.
"Captain Tang, I wonder how old the young officer named Zhao Daqiang is this year? Where does he live? I wonder if he is married?" the rich old Zhou asked respectfully.
Hey! Zhao Daqiang is such a good boy! He was noticed so quickly? Tang Dao was slightly happy in his heart, but his face was calm.
That's it! Just like fishing, the fish touches the bait but hasn't bitten the hook yet. If you lift the rod too early, it will only scare the fish away.
"That's right! It's a military secret. Boss Zhou, Tang Dao has no comment." Tang Dao smiled slightly.
"No, no, Captain Tang, don't get me wrong. This is the case. I have a niece in my family who is already twenty-two years old. She has been clamoring all day long to join the army to protect her family and country. You said, how can I, an uncle, not do this?
Have a headache? No, it’s because I heard that I was coming to attend the Four Elements Reunion Party, so my niece pestered me to come. Just when you left, my family actually asked me to ask about your company commander Zhao Daqiang.
The situation, and it seems to be the meaning of the niece." Lao Zhou was startled and hurriedly explained.
Although the words were not stated clearly, the meaning was expressed clearly. The family has a precious niece who is twenty-two and has not yet left the government. Moreover, her heart is attached to the military camp. She is a very big-headed elder. Finally, the niece came up with an idea.
As an uncle, why don't you rush out quickly?
Don't underestimate the prestige of an uncle in the family. If he is the head of the family, he will even have more authority than his own father.
I have to say that Lao Zhou’s nieces and nephews are very discerning. Although Zhao Daqiang looks honest and simple, in fact, he is shrewd in his simplicity. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to be a guard by Mr. Liu Yuqing, nor would he have been promoted to Tang Dao.
After becoming the captain of the main company for several levels, Zhao Daqiang showed his abilities to the fullest in the battle for gold.
It turns out that among the four main company commanders of the independent battalion, the 27-year-old Zhao Daqiang is more mature than Qian Dazhu, and Li Jiujin, who is over thirty and a little more cautious, is more energetic. Originally, Leng Feng could suppress him.
On the one hand, when Leng Feng was promoted to major and battalion commander, in fact, in Tang Dao's mind, he was the one most likely to be promoted again.
Of course, for the girl whom Tang Dao met and who might not have left much of an impression, she might not be interested in Zhao Daqiang's military rank and future, but mainly in this person! She has a masculine flavor.
Zhao Daqiang is not a typical fair-faced handsome guy, nor is he like Tang Dao, a handsome man with a long figure and a sharp face. At first glance, he looks very simple and embarrassing, and will soon be overwhelmed by the crowd, but if you look closely,
He has a pair of very smart eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows. His beard was shaved a few days ago, and new stubble has grown in the past two days, but it does not look sloppy but adds some unique temperament to male creatures.
Coupled with the new military uniform that best embodies the heroic temperament of a man and the soldier's taller and taller figure, he is full of masculinity.
This is not an isolated case. Those who will serve as freshmen military training instructors in the future will burn the love letters they receive from freshmen girls.
The masculinity unique to soldiers is far more attractive to young women than those well-dressed young men.
For the parents' generation, appearance is not so important. What is important is military rank. An officer in his twenties has a smooth future and is completely in line with their ideal son-in-law.
"Oh? That's it. This way, Boss Zhou, don't be in a hurry. Right now, I just want to eat and drink well. When we have negotiated everything later, let him come and chat with you. Do you think it's okay?
?" Tang Dao was happy in his heart, but on the surface he remained reserved.
You have to take care of that! Lao Zhou’s niece is attracted to Zhao Daqiang, but there are other families too! In the future world, “If You Are the One” will still choose to keep each other’s lights on and turn them off!
In addition, we have to consider whether Zhao Daqiang has not fallen in love with his niece? Tang Dao hopes to solve the marriages of his officers, but he feels that love must first exist in marriage. What is the use of companionship without love?
When it comes to love, the first feeling is so important.
Some people say that love at first sight is too hasty. In fact, human beings' perceptual thinking is very wonderful. Some people can tell whether the person in front of them is suitable for you with just one glance.
Tang Dao and Tantai Mingyue are actually no exception. The first meeting between the two was indeed not very pleasant, but one of them didn't pay much attention to him because he was busy with military affairs, and the other was quite dissatisfied with him because of the other's arrogance and some misunderstandings.
I was unhappy, but that didn't stop the two from making a good first impression of each other when they first looked at each other.
Many people like to say, 'Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls can only be found in a million!' But when the other person doesn't have the same skin, they are not willing to get in touch with that potentially interesting soul.
Tang Dao is also one of the ordinary beings. History has proven that no matter how heroic you are, once you fall in love with a beautiful woman, it will be difficult to escape.
This is human nature, which everyone knows, but is extremely difficult to overcome.
The Tang Dao was suddenly picked up, and a bunch of old foxes from the Textile Association could only remain calm.
Firstly, the daughter and niece are interested in marrying the Four Elements Group. Secondly, it can also bring the relationship with the Four Elements Group closer. The northwest is the territory that the Northeast Army has occupied for several years. The news they have learned can be
It shows that Tang Dao has a close relationship with the guy from the 67th Army. It would be best to get the relationship from him.
But if they want to send their daughter off in a hurry, none of the business tycoons have the dignity to do so, which is absolutely impossible.
Then let’s continue drinking with Tang Tuanzhao who is in great spirits!
Tang Dao did not withdraw from the banquet because he had to wait until his officers and soldiers came to the table.
The people were smart enough to know that there were people waiting behind them, especially the group of soldiers, and they ate very quickly. Except for the steamed buns distributed earlier, which were packed away by everyone, all the food on the table was wiped out.
The banquets in the straw hut area have not yet been removed, but two rounds of banquets have been served over the flowing water table. The people left satisfied after eating and drinking, and then the soldiers and the remaining townspeople came to the table.
Tang Dao brought the three chief officers, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan, to toast one unit at a time. These were his soldiers. They had fought hard against the Japanese on the battlefield. They deserved to be treated like this.
Tang Dao, who had already drunk two kilograms of wine, showed for the first time the true strength of a man soaked in a wine vat.
"Brothers!" In almost every company-level unit, the wine bowl in Tang Dao's hand, which could hold two taels of white wine, was full. Facing the wine bowls held up by the officers and soldiers, Tang Dao was filled with laughter.
Drink it all.
This is thanks and respect!
This is a soldier from the future who pays respect to these Chinese soldiers who have never left their names in the long history and respects their sacrifices for this country and nation; this is also a soldier who fought bravely against the Japanese invaders on the battlefield.
A soldier expresses his gratitude to his comrades fighting alongside him, thanking them for accompanying him on the battlefield without hesitation!
No one stopped Tang Dao from gulping down the liquor, not even Tantai Mingyue, who was most worried about him.
All the emotions are in the wine, and you can feel them if you are a soldier.
Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun are both from the north, and both have a good drinking capacity, but they can't compare with Tangjiu. A bowl has one tael, and one round costs more than a kilogram. Zhuang Shisan is from Songjiang, and he can drink rice wine.
I'm a noob when it comes to white wine. Half a tael in the bowl is the limit. After a round of toasting, my face is already red and I can't walk straight.
Fortunately, these three months of cruel battlefields have also tempered this man's mental will. Even though he was drunk, he was still able to walk back without help without being rude.
When Tang Dao saw that this man was dying, he quickly asked the staff to help him go back to rest.
Seeing Tang Tuanzuo still sober after drinking several kilograms of white wine, Gong Shaoxun realized that Tang Dao and Wu Junzuo did not show even half of their strength when they were drinking together! Wu Junzuo underestimated Tang Dao's strength.
But Chief of Staff Zhuang was not the only one who was drunk.
Tang Tuanzuo started drinking like this, and the soldiers present drank at least half of it. It wasn't that soldiers couldn't drink, or that they didn't have enough self-discipline.
Rather, they have been on the battlefield. Even though they have been away from the battlefield for more than a month, they have been marching hard. Even just now, they witnessed a ground-to-air battle with their own eyes. They were already mentally strained and suddenly declared a holiday.
Relax, and Tang Tuanzuo said that the wine is enough, so this wine is naturally too much.
Or, more importantly, they missed their comrades who died in battle.
They could eat big chunks of meat and drink wine here to celebrate the first New Year of the Four Elements Regiment, but those comrades who had been together day and night could only lie in the cold mud, and many of them had no bones left.
Many people will pour the first glass of wine into the soil in front of them and shout in a low voice: "Brother, I have a toast for you."
That is the oldest tradition in China.
Then, get drunk!
