Jiang Cheng took a sip of tea in surprise and asked, "Why is this?"
Zhou Guansheng poured another cup of tea for Jiang Cheng and said, "I don't know, Xiao Jiang, do you know who are the bosses behind the largest textile factory in China?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said he didn't know.
Zhou Guansheng sighed, "There is a saying in the White Party, which is called the Jiang family, the Chen family party, and the Song family sisters, Kong Jiacai. Song Ziwen is still good, and he is fairly honest. He mainly makes money in the banking industry, but Kong Xiangxi's appearance is not so good."
, and robbed many companies and factories by force. The Chen family brothers are extremely honest, and you want to take over so much military supplies this time. The Kong family's textile factory suddenly lost a lot of orders.
Of course I hate you."
Only then did Jiang Cheng understand why he was suddenly so unpopular. He said a little depressed, "I really don't want our soldiers to wear straw sandals and cloth hats and fight against the Japanese. Are those good men? I have already
I’ve sold supplies at a loss, what else should I do?”
Zhou Guansheng patted Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, we all know that you are a patriotic and good comrade, but you must pay attention to your methods. Do you want to have a good relationship with them? It's very simple. Let them be responsible for purchasing and you can give them a kickback.
Already."
Jiang Cheng seemed to not believe what he just heard and said, "Why are you talking like this, Duke Zhou?"
Zhou Guansheng laughed loudly and said, "I know you don't want to do this. So Xiao Jiang, do you know the relationship between Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, and Chairman Chiang?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and replied, "I have heard that they are both brothers-in-law."
Zhou Guansheng nodded, "There is an intersection in their relationship. As long as this intersection is opened, all three sides can be connected."
Jiang Cheng asked with bright eyes, "Is it Soong Meiling? Sir, you want me to take the wife route?"
Zhou Guansheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "A child can be taught. Do you know what to do?"
Jiang Cheng nodded quickly and said hesitantly, "Why is Duke Zhou helping me so much?"
Zhou Guansheng patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "I'm helping you because I just want to help a patriotic entrepreneur. I hope you don't lose your patriotism because of some setbacks."
Jiang Cheng's bones felt lighter after being slapped and said, "Don't worry, Duke Zhou, I won't let you down."
When Jiang Cheng was about to leave, he looked at Zhou Guansheng and said, "Mr. Zhou, I wonder if the Red Army has any difficulties. If you can help me, I will definitely help."
Zhou Guansheng shook his head and said, "I'm not helping you for your military resources. How about this? I invite you to visit Yan'an. Our army is a revolutionary army and an anti-Japanese army. If you, the big boss, think that we
Our army deserves your support. Isn’t it too late for you to give us more support?”
Hearing the name Yan'an, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up. There were too many great people there now, but it was the eve of the Anti-Japanese War and the White Army was the absolute main force. Going to Yan'an still had to be delayed, so he said, "I will definitely do it."
When I go to Yan'an, I hope I can still drink Zhou Gong's tea."
After Jiang Cheng left, Xiao Zhang asked in confusion, "Mr. Zhou, why do we need to help him like this? He is just a damn capitalist."
Zhou Guansheng said seriously to Xiao Zhang, "Don't be ignorant and talk nonsense. Capitalists are divided into profit and profit, patriotic and traitorous. If we cannot unite all forces, how can we achieve the final victory of the revolution?"
Xiao Zhang nodded in understanding and asked, "I heard that Weihua Company is rich, and he was willing to support us just now. Why don't we let him donate some money to us?"
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "Now he still has expectations for the White Party. When he really sees clearly the corruption within the White Party and lets him go to Yan'an to see it, he will naturally support us, just like the Water Margin, more or less
The hero didn't want to go to Liangshan in the beginning, but in the end he was forced to go to Liangshan, and we didn't have to do anything. The White Party will push him to our side."
After deciding to take the wife's route, Jiang Cheng immediately went back to discuss with Yu Qiaqing to prepare some gifts. When Yu Qiaqing heard that Jiang Cheng was going to visit Soong Meiling, she couldn't help but feel that under the current circumstances, taking the wife's route was a good choice.
Yu Qiaqing walked around twice and said, "Since you want to take the wife's route, you must be careful when choosing gifts. Song Meiling grew up in a wealthy family, and now she is the wife of the Chairman. What good things have you not seen?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and asked, "Then what should we use as a stepping stone? She is definitely not short of gold and silver jewelry. What would she want?"
Yu Qiaqing walked around and thought for a while before saying, "I heard that Mrs. Song is now the Secretary General of the Aviation Commission and is responsible for aircraft procurement, training and other reasons. Why not use this excuse to give gifts? Mr. Du and I will discuss it and raise some money."
If you send it, just say it is for the country to buy a plane, I believe Mrs. Song will accept it."
Jiang Cheng also felt that it was very feasible after hearing this. After all, it seemed to be a public matter, and it was a donation to the country, and it would increase her political achievements. I believe she would be willing to do it.
Du Yuesheng from Shanghai saw the telegram and realized that his little brother had offended someone in Nanjing and was being punished. He immediately found Huang Huangrong and others overnight and collected 600,000 French currency to have them sent to Nanjing immediately.
Jiang Cheng received the money in the afternoon of the next day, and after discussing with Yu Qiaqing, he immediately went to Meiling Palace to ask for an audience with Soong Meiling.
When Song Meiling learned that Jiang Cheng asked for a meeting, she had some suspicions. However, she had a good impression of Jiang Cheng and felt that this young man was quite good, so she agreed to meet him.
Song Meiling wore a black cheongsam this time, and the bright gems on her high heels made her look extremely noble.
After Jiang Cheng saw Soong Meiling and said hello, he sat down and Soong Meiling said, "I heard from Darling that you now have a word, called Gu Quan? This is a good word. Only by taking into account the overall situation can things be accomplished. I hope you can taste the samadhi."
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "Madam, our company asked me to return to China alone just to support the country. There is no malicious intention. I didn't expect that some people would misunderstand me because of some of my actions. It is really a pity."
Song Meiling thought to herself that Weihua Company still had some strength. Since he had already stated that he did not want to get involved in the textile industry, the conflict between Yongzhi and him was not impossible to resolve. Moreover, Darling also said last night that this person should be roped in, so why not do it?
As a favor, he nodded and said, "It's good to talk about some things. In fact, it's not a big deal. I already know a thing or two about you and Yongzhi. So, I will help you talk to Yongzhi about your matters.
Just write it off when the time comes.”
Jiang Cheng said with great joy, "Thank you madam. I heard that madam is now in charge of our country's air force. Several bosses and I feel that we should support our country's aviation construction. We specially brought 600,000 French currency, hoping to give more to our air force athletes."
Add a few planes."
Song Meiling was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Thank you very much, Gu Quan. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek will definitely be happy if he knows about your patriotism."
Speaking of the air force, Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Let me ask more, how many planes do we have now?"
Song Meiling said proudly, "We now have 300 aircraft, and we can increase the number to 1,000 at any time."
This number scared Jiang Cheng half to death. Why did the Republic of China actually have so many airplanes? The British in later generations only had 600 airplanes. Of course, the airplanes of this era are completely incomparable with those of later generations, but this number still seems
Is it very beautiful? Jiang Cheng asked quickly, "We actually have so many planes. Madam, you are so awesome. But what do you mean we can increase the number to 1,000 at any time?"
At this time, Song Meiling was like another baby who didn't want others to know and said, "War is your men's business. We women have to rely on us women to run the house and make a living. You will know when the war happens. I guarantee you will be surprised. You will know why the male protagonist is outside."
Within the heroine,”
Seeing that he couldn't get an answer, Jiang Cheng gave up, discussed the time and place to meet tomorrow, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left.
What Jiang Cheng didn't know was how much trouble Song Meiling's unique skill caused to the later anti-Japanese soldiers, so he won't tell you for now.
Late at night, Song Meiling told Agent Jiang in bed that Jiang Cheng came to her for help.
Agent Jiang smiled and said, "He is exactly the same, and he is here to trouble Madam. What do you mean, Madam?"
Song Meiling hugged Agent Jiang and said, "Yongzhi is one of our own, but Jiang Cheng should also be won over. This time, Yongzhi is obviously jealous and wants to do this business. I think it is really inappropriate to give this business entirely to Jiang Cheng."
.After all, this can be regarded as grasping the lifeblood of the army."
Agent Jiang shook his head and understood that Song Meiling still preferred Kong Xiangxi, so he said, "Well, I just decided to let Yongzhi go to Germany to buy weapons. It's better to let Jiang Cheng go too."
Song Meiling said incomprehensively, "How can they work together when they have conflicts now?"
Agent Jiang explained, "I have made it clear to Jiang Cheng today that I will not give him the military supply business, but I still have to give him some benefits. Otherwise, it will be too unfair to him. Go and talk to Yongzhi."
, let Jiang Cheng take a sip of the water this time."
Song Meiling listened and patted Agent Jiang, "Isn't this Jiang Cheng your illegitimate son? Why are you so nice to him?"
Agent Jiang quickly apologized and said with a smile, "How dare I? I think this Jiang Cheng and Wei Hua behind him do seem to have some strength. My wife and I will tell you, he even knows who is Japanese around me."
It is clear that I want to win over this force for my use. Look, if you give Jiang Cheng a sip of the water purchased by the military this time, the people behind him must know our intentions and will reciprocate our kindness. Alas, now I can
Fighting for a force is a force. The Japanese are difficult to fight, but it is difficult for me."
Song Meiling hugged Agent Jiang tightly and said, "It's okay, Darling. We are the party of justice, we have international support, and we will have the last laugh."
The next day Jiang Cheng came to the teahouse. Kong Xiangxi and Soong Meiling hadn't arrived yet, so Jiang Cheng sat there thinking about how to face Kong Xiangxi.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter. It was Kong Xiangxi and Song Meiling. They didn't know what they were talking about, and they looked very happy.
Kong Xiangxi saw Jiang Cheng and smiled and said, "Ah, ah, brother Jiang Cheng, what's going on? You have to trouble Mrs. Song for a trivial matter. It's true."
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "I was too excited that day and didn't understand Mr. Kong's hard work. I'm really sorry."
Kong Xiangxi quickly said, "Oh, I'm not very good at talking. I'm really sorry."
Song Meiling also smiled and said, "How big of a contradiction do you have? It's just a trivial matter. It will be fine if we just let it go. Jiang Cheng, I have discussed your matter with Chairman Chiang. Now under this public opinion, you
Weihua Company is not suitable for military supplies business. Let’s put it aside for now, but don’t be discouraged. Once the war breaks out between us and the Japanese, the more military supplies we have, the better. We will just purchase them when the time comes.”
When Jiang Cheng saw that Song Meiling had said this, he had no choice but to say, "Madam, I have thought deeply about it. Naturally, I have nothing to say. Once the country needs it, everyone in Weihua will fight for the country."
Song Meiling nodded and said, "I heard that your Wei Hua has many connections abroad?"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was immediately confused. He didn't know any foreigners. How could he be related? Mrs. Song couldn't have persuaded Britain and the United States to mediate the conflict between China and Japan. She had to grit her teeth and said, "It's okay."
Song Meiling said favorably to Kong Xiangxi, "Yongzhi, what do Chairman Chiang and I mean? When you go to Germany to purchase weapons and equipment this time, Jiang Cheng should be involved."
When Jiang Cheng heard that he was going on business with this fat man, he was a little reluctant and said, "Madam, this is not good. I have no official position and I am not suitable as a member of the Chinese mission."
Song Meiling chuckled and took out a piece of paper from her bag and said, "Look, you are now a lieutenant colonel and one of the accompanying military attachés this time."
Jiang Cheng looked at this commission letter, and he became an official now?
Kong Xiangxi also patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "I hope we can cooperate well this time and complete this arms purchase mission."
Although Jiang Cheng didn't know what was going on, he knew that he was going to Germany soon, so he quickly asked, "When will we leave?"
Kong Xiangxi quickly praised, "Look at our Comrade Jiang Cheng, he is aware and has entered into working mode." After saying that, he and Soong Meiling laughed, and continued, "You have to speed up the processing of anything. We will do it in four days."
Let's go. You are a soldier now. If you disobey military orders, you will have to go to court-martial."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel that time was too tight one day, but when he thought that he was going to Europe to open a branch this time, it was just right, so he quickly said, "Okay, I promise to live up to the trust of the chairman and his wife." During the banquet,
The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After the banquet was over, Song Meiling said to Kong Xiangxi in the car, "Do you understand what Chairman Chiang and I mean?"
Kong Xiangxi nodded and said, "Madam and Chairman, don't worry, Yongzhi knows what's going on. This time is also an accident. I promise I won't conflict with Jiang Cheng like this again."
Song Meiling nodded and said, "That's good. The Weihua Company behind Jiang Cheng is the power the party-state needs. I hope you can use this opportunity to win over him."
Kong Xiangxi nodded to express his understanding.
The night he returned to Yu Qiaqing's house, Jiang Cheng discussed with Yu Qiaqing overnight his upcoming trip to Germany and the German branch. He also sent a message to Du Yuesheng to discuss the matter. The next day, he sent a call in the name of Weihua Company. I have to say this.
Propaganda in those days was a costly affair. A power supply generally cost several thousand dollars, and it was not something that even the most powerful people could afford. The main content of the power supply was: Weihua Company is a company controlled entirely by Chinese people, and will not do anything traitorous to the country.
At the same time, in order to show Wei Hua's patriotism, he specially donated 100,000 penicillins to the National Government to defend against enemies (the author's writing skills are limited, and the classical Chinese text like a real telegram is really
Can't write)
——Kong Xiangxi of the Kong family looked at his unhappy son, sighed and said, "Forget it, now the Chairman and his wife value Weihua Company very much. You should stop fighting now. Anyway, Weihua Company is now
My military supply business has also been ruined, what else are you dissatisfied with? Keep a line in your work so that we can meet each other in the future."
Kong Lingkan said unhappily, "I don't know what the second aunt is thinking. If the money is not given to the family, but also to outsiders? I think it's probably that Jiang Cheng who gave the second aunt the ecstasy soup."
Kong Xiangxi said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? This arms purchase is such a big deal. It was all done by our Kong family. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
At this time, a girl came in. She was dressed as a man, wearing a suit and leather shoes. She was smoking a cigar and said, "What are you satisfied with? Outsiders have been involved." It was the famous Miss Kong Er - Kong Lingjun.
Speaking of this Kong Lingjun, she is like a demon king. She has been wild since she was a child. She likes to provoke fights among her classmates in school, while she just sits back and watches. She learned to shoot when she was in her early teens, and she could drive at the age of thirteen.
Song Meiling loved her very much and often praised her: "Lingjun is naturally bold and unrestrained. A girl looks like a boy, just like me." She usually doesn't wear women's clothes, has a slicked back hair, or suits and leather shoes, and wears a top hat tilted; or she dresses like a businessman, holding a folding fan and holding a cigar in her mouth.
, it’s hard to distinguish between male and female. But she is a perfect match with another oriental witch Kawashima Yoshiko.
Kong Xiangxi had a headache when he saw this daughter and said, "You should calm down and don't look at what the outside world says about you. I don't even know how to marry you off."
Kong Lingjun smiled and said, "You know how to marry me off, why can't I marry someone else? My second aunt asked me to go to the United States to talk about the plane. I'm coming back to pack my luggage."
When Kong Lingkan heard this, he couldn't help but said to Kong Xiangxi, "Is there really going to be a fight? Why are you buying arms everywhere?"
Kong Xiangxi said angrily, "It doesn't matter whether it's your business or not. I'm going to Germany in a few days. Don't make trouble everywhere. There are a lot of things going on recently. Don't bother the Chairman and your second aunt. Do you understand?"
Kong Lingkan didn't listen to what Kong Xiangxi said at all, but his mind kept wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.
