The flowers are blooming and the weather is gradually getting hotter.
Liu Taiping was recovering from his illness, and his body had recovered to some extent, and he was no longer as ill as before. Ye Chengzhong also found out about the movements of Fourth Master Tong.
At the same time, Ye Chengzhong cooperated with Blair and set up the factory.
Although the factory is still under construction and workers are still being recruited, it has already achieved scale and has begun to purchase and sell minerals, steel and other goods. With Li Zhen’s background support and Gu Lina’s channels, the factory will soon expand It started operating and gradually controlled the transportation channels of steel and minerals in Shanghai.
Ye Chengzhong achieved results, as did Sister Alice. The two had already rushed to make soldiers' uniforms and let a few soldiers try them on. The new military uniforms were light and simple, and looked grand when worn, winning the hearts of the soldiers. Welcomed. Sister Alice asked workers to mass-produce universal military uniforms. As for soldiers who were particularly tall or short, they could only be made individually.
Li Zhen was naturally very happy when he got the news.
For this reason, Li Zhen also praised Sister Alice, making the two of them happy for several days.
Li Zhen's career is booming, both in the military and in business. However, some people are happy and some are worried. Maas is worried that his hair has turned gray recently. Because the raw materials for processing ammunition and guns such as steel and minerals cannot be continuously supplied, it has been This led to operational failures in the Beretta family's company.
When this happened, many experts responded to Mas, hoping that Mas would reverse the situation.
Mas received the news and went directly to Daotai Mansion, wanting to ask to see Li Zhen.
However, when Maas entered the house, he only saw Ye Chengzhong.
Ye Chengzhong had known about Li Zhen's plan and understood that Li Zhen wanted to deal with Maas. Moreover, Li Zhen had already sent a message to Ye Chengzhong, clearly saying that he would not see Maas for the time being, so Ye Chengzhong made the decision for other reasons. Already.
Mas encountered a soft nail for the first time. One day later, he came again with a translator.
This time, Mas entered the mansion smoothly.
After the servant of the house went to report the matter, Ye Chengzhong once again met with Mas in the hall on behalf of Li Zhen.
Ye Chengzhong's face was full of apologies, but his dark eyes kept rolling, his slightly immature cheeks were extremely serious, and he said slowly: "Mr. Mas, I am very busy now, so I really can't see you. Alas, You are also a friend of your Excellency, so I will tell you the truth. The bandits are attacking the Jiangbei camp like wild dogs. Your Excellency is very worried and is discussing with his generals and counselors how to deal with the bandits. He has no time to talk to you. "
After hearing what the translator said, Mas rolled his eyes and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, all of which were one hundred taels each. There were at least twenty or thirty banknotes in this stack, which amounted to thousands. Two silver coins.
Ye Chengzhong did not reject anyone who came and accepted it with a smile.
When Mas saw this, a bright smile appeared on his face.
After collecting the money, it’s time to get started!
Mas coughed twice and said: "Brother Ye, I really have something urgent to do to see General Li. It doesn't need to take a long time, it only takes half an hour. Can you please report it again."
After hearing what the translator said, Ye Chengzhong sat still and said in embarrassment: "This matter is not easy to handle!"
Mas has stayed in Shanghai for so long and knows some tricks.
Ma Ma secretly scolded Ye Cheng for being greedy, but with a smile on his face, he took out a stack of banknotes, including twenty or thirty, and handed them to Ye Chengzhong, and asked Ye Chengzhong to report. Ye Chengzhong followed Ma
Si got more than 5,000 taels of silver in his hands, Shi Shiran stood up and walked towards the backyard. Si looked at Ye Chengzhong's leaving back, feeling sad in his heart.
It turns out that he used to be a frequent visitor to Li Zhen's house, and he could see Li Zhen easily. Now, he was embarrassed by one of Li Zhen's followers. You can imagine how he felt. Ye Chengzhong came to the backyard and entered the study.
In the middle, he said with a smile: "Sir, this foreigner like Mas is really rich. He only spends a few thousand taels."
After that, Ye Chengzhong put all the banknotes given by Maas on the desk.
Li Zhen looked at a stack of banknotes, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Maas had the ambition to build a business empire and should have communicated with me, but he went to other officials in Jiangsu behind my back.
, this was caused by Mas wanting to get rid of me, and he can only blame himself." After speaking, Li Zhen took out five hundred taels of silver and said, "This money is for you, you can save it or use it, it's up to you."
Ye Chengzhi accepted it without hesitation.
Li Zhen warned: "Except for the people I told you not to see, you can extort money to make money. If other people come to visit, you are not allowed to do so. If I find you are collecting money, you should know the consequences."
Ye Chengzhong bowed and said: "Don't worry, sir, Xiaoye understands."
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Go ahead, just say that I'm sick and I really can't see people."
"yes!"
Ye Chengzhong turned around and left the study and came to the hall.
When Maas saw Ye Chengzhong coming out alone, his face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but he asked eagerly: "Brother Ye, where is General Li?" The translator also showed an eager look and hurriedly relayed the story.
Ye Chengzhong sighed and said, "Oh, my lord is sick and has already taken medicine and fallen asleep."
"What?"
After hearing this, Mas looked surprised.
Just now, he said he was discussing something, but he drank medicine and lay down again. He was obviously playing a trick on him!
That’s right, it’s just a joke!
Maas had dealt with many officials, and he knew that Li Zhen definitely didn't want to see him. At this moment, Maas turned red with anger and started to get angry. After a while, he wilted like a flat tire again.
Mas couldn't figure it out and didn't know where he offended Li Zhen.
Maas is a businessman and looks at issues from a businessman's perspective. He contacted many officials in Jiangsu and even businessmen in the United States, hoping to find more partners and more people to buy guns.
.This is all for the sake of the factory. The factory has become more alive, the factory's profits have increased, and Li Zhen can also benefit from it.
Therefore, Mas believes that this will be beneficial to both him and Li Zhen.
It's just that Maas didn't understand Li Zhen's thoughts. He didn't know that Li Zhen's weapons would lose their advantages after the firearms were sold, so Li Zhen didn't want to lose his advantages for money.
Mas looked frustrated and even wanted to catch Ye Cheng and question him.
In the end, Mas left in defeat.
If he had a falling out with Ye Chengzhong, let alone seeing Li Zhen, he would probably be blocked from entering Daotai Mansion. Mas reluctantly left and returned to the factory to immediately summon the main personnel.
Seeing the expectant expressions on everyone's face, Mas even overturned the five-flavor bottle in his heart.
Mas was silent for a long time, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Everyone, this time I went to Daotai Mansion to visit Li Zhen, but I didn't see anyone. Alas, our factory has fallen into a crisis moment. Everyone wants to express their opinions.
, tell me what is going on? How can we persuade Li Zhen to help us."
After the words fell, the rest of the people shook their heads and sighed.
At this time, one of the experts said: "Mas, you have a very good relationship with Li Zhen, how come you can't see Li Zhen? Is it possible that you did something to make Li Zhen unhappy?"
Mas shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. I respect Li Zhen very much."
"impossible!"
The expert frowned, thinking that what Mas said was wrong.
ps: The third update is completed; please give me flowers!
