The monk quickened his pace to catch up with Kong Jie, and said with a smile: "Captain, what you just said was so powerful, my blood boiled with enthusiasm when I heard it. If I were this young man Xu, I would have nodded and agreed.
”
"I just don't know what young man Xu is thinking, whether he is willing to stay in our independent group."
"If you ask me, it's not that troublesome. If he doesn't work for our independent group, we won't give him food. If he's so hungry that stars appear in his eyes, he'll be good."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "You kid knows how to do random things. You must know that this strong-willed melon is not sweet."
"But if this young man Xu is still unwilling to stay in our independent group, what can we do?" the monk asked.
Kong Jie thought for a while and said: "If he doesn't agree, then don't even think about leaving the Independent Regiment. After all, our station is such a secret place, we can't bring people in and let them out casually. At worst, we will change the station."
Let him go again."
The monk was dumbfounded and said: "Captain, didn't you just say that the melons that are twisted are not sweet?"
Kong Jie said: "The twisted melon is indeed not sweet, but it quenches thirst!"
Monk: "..."
"Of course, that's just the last resort. I believe this young man Xu will choose to stay." Kong Jie said with a smile.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Although Kong Jie vowed yesterday that Xu Qingnian would definitely choose to stay in the Independent Regiment, he got up early in the morning and immediately called the monk and asked him to go to the logistics department to inquire about the news.
Not long after, the monk returned and reported to Kong Jiehui: "Hey, Captain, you are really right. This young man Xu went to the logistics department early in the morning to report."
Kong Jie smiled and nodded, looking as I expected, but in fact he was secretly relieved in his heart. This financial talent that was finally obtained cannot just fly away.
Morning.
Xu Qingnian rushed to the regiment headquarters to report. As soon as he opened his mouth, his title also changed: "Reporting to the commander of the regiment, Xu Qingnian, director of the Logistics and Finance Department of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, reports to you."
"Come in." Kong Jie said.
"Yes."
Xu Qingnian strode in. Kong Jie re-examined this man in his early thirties. Compared with the iron-blooded soldiers fighting on the battlefield, Xu Qingnian had more of an elegant aura.
Wearing a pair of glasses with large eye-rims and a soft face, his overall image is indeed quite consistent with his identity as a bank president.
"Lao Xu, here you go, sit down!"
"Yes, thank you very much, leader."
Xu Qingnian responded, sat down on the counter seat opposite Kong Jie, and said with a smile: "Captain, you don't seem surprised that I chose to stay."
Kong Jie said: "This is nothing surprising. I believe in my own vision and judgment, and I also believe that you, Lao Xu, will not let me down."
Xu Qingnian was startled. He didn't expect Kong Jie's answer. He nodded heavily, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Captain, there is nothing to say. You are right. If you don't dare to live in this life,
If you work hard for your ideal, your life will be in vain."
"I am Chinese after all. These more than thirty years have been wasted. In the remaining time, I want to do something meaningful."
"After what you said to me yesterday, the leader, I thought a lot. Finally, I decided to stay in the independent group and followed you, the leader."
"I don't want to do more. The ancients often said that if you don't clean one house, how can you sweep the world? Just start from the front. Now I just want to assist the leader and develop the economic construction of our independent group first." p>
Kong Jie laughed and said: "You are right to think so. Everything must be done step by step, and tall buildings are also built from tired soil."
"Right now, helping our independent group develop its economy, this is the first step you have to take."
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. If you want to stay in the Independent Regiment, what worries do you have? For example, do you have any relatives at home? If you are worried about your family, I can send someone to bring them to the base.
Come."
Xu Qingnian said: "Captain, this is what I want to tell you. My mother passed away early, and I still have my father at home. My father has always been in business to make a living."
"Actually, my father is quite angry about the fact that I work in a Japanese and puppet bank. He thinks it's embarrassing for me to have become a docile citizen. If I can avoid dealing with the Japanese, I won't deal with the Japanese."
"Because of this, my relationship with my father has been somewhat tense over the years."
"But now that I think about it, maybe my father's identity will be of great use to the development of our independent regiment base area."
Kong Jie was stunned and said: "How to say?"
"Captain, if our independent regiment wants to develop the base area, it is not enough to rely solely on internal economic construction. The best thing is to have business contacts with the counties in the enemy-occupied areas." Xu Qingnian said.<
/p>
Kong Jie nodded and said: "That's right. We are fighting against the little devils, but it does not mean that we cannot do business with the little devils."
"The economic construction and material needs of our base areas cannot always rely on seizures. In addition, our productivity is low. In fact, the best solution is to let the daily necessities and military supplies from enemy-occupied areas and counties flow into our base areas." Xu Qingnian smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. Leader, I have seen a lot of things in our independent group these days.
Let’s not talk about it far, let’s talk about the briquettes and the coal stove. I heard that it was you, the leader, who invented them.
Don't underestimate this simple briquettes and stove. I have never heard of these things anywhere else.
Our independent group is the first, and this is a business opportunity. We can mass-produce these briquettes and coal stoves, and then secretly transport them to surrounding counties in enemy-occupied areas for sale, earn profits, and then purchase what we need for our base from the county.
Living supplies and military supplies.
Among them, our business with the people in the enemy-occupied counties and towns, and even the Japanese and puppet troops, is not just a simple transaction, but also includes the circulation of currency. If we can use this to establish a relatively close relationship with the surrounding counties,
Stable mutual trade,
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In the subsequent economic construction of our base area and the establishment of the monetary system, we may be able to find a breakthrough point from this.
The simplest and easiest to understand point is that we want to issue our own currency. This is true. But if we want to successfully circulate these currencies, even in enemy-occupied areas and counties, we need commodities, which are trade commodities that belong to our base areas.
."
Speaking of this, Xu Qingnian explained: "If we want to do business in enemy-occupied areas, it will definitely be inconvenient for our own people to come forward. This requires some people with special status to move around."
"It is best to be a businessman who lives in a county seat in an enemy-occupied area and is a businessman with a clean foundation who is familiar to the Japanese and puppet troops."
"My father is very suitable for this, and his business is not small, and he is involved in a wide range of business fields."
"My father's ancestral home is in Shanxi, and he has been living in Taiyuan City for many years. But his business is not only in Taiyuan City, but also in Yangquan and Ping'an County, and there are also some of his shops. If my father helps, it will be much easier to sell products in our base area.
”
……
An absolute surprise.
This is probably the legendary buy one, get one free. With the help of financial talent Xu Qingnian, there is now a ready-made agent.
Kong Jie suppressed the surprise in his heart and said: "If you are just secretly assisting our Eighth Route Army, if your father's identity is exposed, there may be risks. As a son, aren't you worried?"
Xu Qingnian said flatly: "Captain, I understand my father's character. If he knew that he could help the Eighth Route Army, he would never have any hesitation."
"And it's not like my father has never done this kind of thing before. He once secretly funded the anti-Japanese armed forces in some places, but he did it secretly, and the Japanese and puppet troops never discovered it."
Kong Jie praised: "Father Xu has an admirable understanding of justice. Old Xu, since you have said so, I won't say more. When I find an opportunity, I will meet your father secretly. If Mr. Xu is willing to help,
That would be great."
Xu Qingnian said immediately: "Captain, don't worry, father will definitely help."
