Jiang Cheng looked at the account book, nodded and said, "So, it has been exchanged for 40 to 50 million US dollars?"
Situ Meitang nodded and said, "Yes, we now have a total of 12 people working on this matter, and all the dollars have been used to purchase some stocks you selected according to your wishes. But is this really okay? These stocks
They are still falling. Although we are mainly short selling now, according to our plan, the U.S. stock market needs to rise and then fall sharply."
Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head and said, "This decline will continue for a while. The United States is currently in an adjustment period. U.S. productivity is recovering due to the war in Asia, and Roosevelt is also directing capital to industry, so we must continue to short.
But the situation will change soon. The world war is about to begin. Germany has united with the Soviet Union. In less than half a year, Europe will be at war. By then, only the United States will be relatively stable in the world, and then the world's capital will be
They can only flock to the United States, and American stocks will only rise."
Situ Meitang clicked his tongue and said, "All the capital in the world...that's such a huge fortune."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Yes, this will usher in a new era, a new era of capital. The money must be divided into more accounts, but it must leave enough tail. When the time comes, it must successfully divert the trouble to the east."
Situ Meitang nodded, took another breath and said, "Xiao Jiang, tell me, were there such a group of people in the United States doing what we are doing now? Otherwise, how could it have fallen so sharply back then?"
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "That's for sure. Every time a stock rises or falls sharply, someone is behind it. Everyone remembers the stock economic crisis in 1929, but no one remembers who was the first to sell a large amount of money."
stocks, that’s all, let’s not talk about this. At the current rate, by this time next year, we will have at least more than 1 billion US dollars in hand. How is the current Japanese yen exchange rate?”
Situ Meitang sighed, "It only dropped less than three points. Maybe our intensity is still a little too small. Do you think we should increase the intensity?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Not only the United States, but the United Kingdom must also take action."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Ye ran over with a telegram and said, "My boss, something happened in the country."
Jiang Cheng took a look and said, "Mao Fumei was actually killed by the bomb? Agent Jiang still didn't announce the funeral secretly... This is an opportunity."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'll write a telegram and you can send it to Yan'an immediately. I'll also go back to China. Without further ado, I'll leave now."
——Xikou
Mao Fumei's coffin was lowered slowly. According to Jiang's order, there was no big fuss. Only some of the closest relatives came to greet her. Jiang Jingguo knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Mao Fumei's grave. He stood up and pulled it over.
Zhang Yaruo said, "Fang Liang is not here, come and kowtow for him."
"Ah? Is this... am I suitable?" Zhang Yaruo said, looking at the people around him with some fear.
"Inappropriate!! Absolutely inappropriate, Jianfeng, forget it if Fang Liang didn't come, but Zhang Yaruo is just your secretary, and you absolutely cannot kowtow for Fang Liang. This is absolutely not allowed in etiquette." Mao Sicheng left immediately.
He came out to stop him and said.
Jiang Jingguo looked at Mao Sicheng, and thought of his mother's grievance, and finally couldn't help shouting, "Etiquette! Etiquette!! You all know etiquette..."
Before he could say the more unpleasant words, he was interrupted by a shout.
"Colonel Jiang Cheng has arrived!!"
"Brother Gu Quan?" Jiang Jingguo looked at where he came from in disbelief. Others also looked over, and many people talked about it.
"Colonel? Who is a colonel to be qualified to come here?"
"It looks like we know Jianfeng. Are we acquaintances?"
"Jiang Cheng...Jiang Guquan, there seems to be no such person in any army."
When Jiang Jingguo saw Jiang Cheng in filial piety, he knew that Jiang Cheng had known everything. With tears in his eyes, he quickly stepped forward, held Jiang Jingguo's hand, hugged Jiang Jingguo and said, "I know everything. Family feud and national hatred.
Let's go to report it together, let me kowtow to the old lady first."
Jiang Jingguo nodded, Jiang Cheng stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Mao Fumei three times, stood up and said softly, "I saw that you seemed a little excited just now. I know that your mother has been wronged. Let's talk about everything after we go back. A little impatience will mess up the big plan."
This is your mother's funeral after all."
Jiang Jingguo had calmed down at this time and said, "I understand, let's wait until after the funeral to discuss everything."
--late at night
Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Cheng were sitting on the hillside. Jiang Cheng handed Jiang Jingguo a bottle of wine and said, "I heard Ruoya said you are going back tomorrow?"
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Yes, there are still many things going on in Ganzhou, and...this is also what the chairman meant."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Do you hate the Chairman?"
Jiang Jingguo took a sip of wine, looked at the starry sky and said, "Hate! How can I not hate, how can I hate? Gu Quan, my mother is dead, and I am only a father. I...I don't know how to treat him.
.”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Jianfeng, have you read "Mencius: Li Lou Xia"?"
Jiang Jingguo was stunned for a moment. Of course he had read this article. It said that if a king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if a king regards his ministers as earth and mustard,
, then the minister will regard the emperor as an enemy. This has become the principle of conduct for countless ministers in ancient times.
Jiang Cheng continued, "Jianfeng, the Chairman of the Committee has his own difficulties. He may not be a good husband, nor can he be said to be a truly good father, but he does not treat you badly. Why did the Chairman ration me to you? He is the one who eats me."
When you have no money, why did he let you go to Ganzhou? He just hopes that you can experience it as soon as possible so that you can be entrusted with important tasks.
So you still have to help him. If you don’t help him, will he still have the confidence to go on?"
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said nothing.
Jiang Cheng took a sip of wine and said, "Jianfeng, if the Chairman makes a mistake, will you continue to help him make a mistake, or will you help him correct it?"
Jiang Jingguo looked around in horror, making sure no one said, "Gu Quan, what you said...I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that others will misunderstand you."
Jiang Cheng smiled and patted Jiang Jingguo on the back, and said with him, "I just hope that one day, you will really find that the Chairman has done something wrong and dare to come out and correct him. You just have to pay attention to the method. I
I believe that the chairman will correct it. Just be patient and one day, I believe, the three words "Jiang Jingjie" will be engraved on the old lady's tombstone."
Jiang Jingguo couldn't bear it any longer and cried loudly on Jiang Cheng's shoulder. Jiang Cheng sighed, looked at the starry sky, and couldn't help but think of his family in the future.
After a long time, Jiang Jingguo controlled his emotions. Jiang Cheng changed the subject and said, "Jianfeng, how do you feel about this counterattack?"
Jiang Jingguo thought for a while and said, "I think it's okay...but I've encountered some difficulties recently."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "It's not a difficulty, it's that we have already lost."
Jiang Jingguo sat up and said, "It's impossible, we are basically on the offensive now."
Jiang Cheng pulled Jiang Jingguo down and said, "Think about it. Our biggest advantage in this battle is nothing more than two points. One is that the main force of the Japanese army is still in the northeast, and the other is the suddenness. After all, the Japanese army has occupied a large area of our territory."
, the troops have basically been dispersed. Now the Japanese army is moving troops back from the Northeast and shrinking troops in various places. It is impossible for us to make much progress. At most, we can only fight back to some small towns."
Jiang Cheng asked with a strange look on his face, "What about the weapons and ammunition I gave you? If you use those heavy artillery, there is still a chance to capture Nanchang. As long as Nanchang is captured, Jiujiang is liberated, and the Yangtze River waterway is cut off, our battle can be considered
That’s half the battle.”
Jiang Jingguo lowered his head and said sheepishly, "Our arms are still at the border. It will take about ten days to arrive."
"What?? Still at the border?" Jiang Cheng exclaimed in surprise, shook his head and said with a smile, "Then don't think about them, wait until next time. If I guessed correctly, it's because of Kong Lingkan, right?"
Jiang Jingguo asked in surprise, "You know?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That's natural. First, the Song family and Dai Li made a fortune there, and then the Kong family. Haha, it's my fault. I should help you take care of things first."
Jiang Jingguo said angrily, "This should not be given. Those are roads built by the country, those are the country's fleet of vehicles, and those are the country's arms. Why should we give money to the Kong family and the Song family!!!"
As he spoke, Jiang Jingguo slammed the wine bottle far away and said, "What hope does a country like this have with a party like this? Corruption!! Corruption to the core." As he spoke, Jiang Jingguo knelt down and said to Jiang Cheng, "Does it mean that we in China are just like this?"
Are we going to continue to be corrupt like this? Is there no way out?"
Jiang Cheng sighed, "The problem of corruption has always existed since humans began to have political systems. In my mind, it is like a virus in the human body. It is not terrible if it exists. The terrible thing is that the body not only does not detoxify, but becomes accustomed to it, and even takes it for granted."
We are proud of this. The problem is not corruption, and there is no one to fight against corruption...Brother Jianfeng, do you still remember that you asked me to go to Yan'an?"
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Yes, have you got any results?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I won't tell you many things. Sometimes, you won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes. Let me show you some photos first. I took them in Yan'an and Taiyuan. You can see them.
Now you know why the Eighth Route Army fought so many victorious battles."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng took out a stack of photos wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed them to Jiang Jingguo.
Jiang Jingguo took it over curiously. Jiang Cheng turned on a flashlight, shined it for him and said, "This one is the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Works. It was originally built by Yan Xishan. The Japanese repaired it. After the Eighth Route Army captured Taiyuan, they quickly restored it."
and expanded production. To be honest, I have only seen such scenes abroad."
Jiang Jingguo looked at the huge blast furnace and the hot red current that seemed to be felt through the photo. This was actually a color photo, but Jiang Jingguo did not make a fuss. Color photos had been available as early as 1861, and of course ordinary people could not afford them.
But for a wealthy person like Jiang Cheng, there is no pressure at all when using it.
Jiang Jingguo looked at the photos at the back in surprise. There were mines transporting ore with trucks, chemical plants manufacturing explosives, arsenals producing weapons, farmlands with people farming using what looked like machinery, and the military.
Those who are training and those who are attending school, everything is so fresh and so natural, as if this is what China should be like.
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Jianfeng, you don't know if you don't go there. China's biggest reform is happening in the north. There are rent and burden reductions, there are officers and soldiers, everyone there is studying, and the schools there are doing research."
, they are preparing for victory, do you know why our National Army always loses battles?"
Jiang Jingguo asked, "Why?"
Jiang Cheng said, "Our youth army is actually very special among the National Army. Among other troops, one-third of the people have never been trained. They serve as commanders and do miscellaneous tasks for others every day. It is ugly to say that
That's right, our troops don't even know how to shoot. For example, when shooting against wind effects, such as horizontal and wind, when shooting at a 100-meter target, the warhead will have a deviation of 3 centimeters, and a deviation of 9 centimeters at 200 meters, so there needs to be a correction amount. We
Soldiers don’t know this at all. For example, when shooting a human body 300 meters away, strong wind blows from the left. How to correct it? They don’t know either. Not to mention formations and fortifications. Most of our troops are not soldiers, but soldiers.
, the key to this lies in study and industry. I heard that the steel plants in our rear were basically annexed by the Xingye Group led by the Kong family. Haha, the annual steel output is less than 10,000 tons. You know Yan'an
How far has it come?"
Jiang Jingguo asked, "How much?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I can only tell you that it has exceeded 30,000 tons. I can't say the specific number. I have an agreement with them. Jianfeng, I sincerely suggest you go to the north and take a look. Wherever you go, you will definitely be interested in us."
There will be new ideas in the future.”
Jiang Jingguo looked at the photo again and said, "The Red Party...Yan'an...Gu Quan, I have been in the Soviet Union for a long time. They do have a certain way of development, but their struggle is really fierce. Do you know?"
The Soviets are fighting among themselves, and they are killing people in rivers of blood. How many people have died in such large farms... The Red Party and Redism are not feasible!"
With that said, Jiang Jingguo pointed to the southwest and said, "Look at our Jiangxi. There were a lot of struggles in the Jinggang Mountains back then. Many of their commanders were imprisoned back then."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Jianfeng, there are some things that I really can't tell you now. I can only say, I know everything you said, but is it true that compared to the struggle, there are fewer people in our White Party? In the Qing Dynasty,
During the Communist Party, how many people died within our White Party? Are those really all Red Party? And... The Red Party in Yan'an is very different from the Red Party in the Soviet Union. If I really want to add a sentence, then
It’s the Sinicized Red Party.”
Jiang Jingguo smiled and crossed his legs and said, "Why do you keep saying good things for that side today? Are you getting any benefits?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "What are you thinking? How much money do you think the Yan'an Red Party has to bribe me? To be honest, there are probably not many people in the world who can bribe me."
Jiang Jingguo asked, "Can't the Chairman do the same?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who wants to be an official?"
Jiang Jingguo touched his nose and said, "I see you are the person most afraid of trouble."
Jiang Cheng laughed loudly and said, "Is there anything more troublesome than being an official in this world?"
Jiang Jingguo shook his head and said with a smile, "No, the easiest thing in the world is to be an official, and the hardest thing is to be an official. Brother Gu Quan, since you have almost praised Yan'an to the sky, I feel a lot when I look at the photos. Yan'an Press
The truth is much poorer than ours, why have they developed like this? What is the problem? Talent? System? I don’t understand, but I want to understand, I want to know how to whiten our party and make our China rich and powerful
.
Do you know? When I was in the Soviet Union, I was thinking, you said, if China had the strength of the United Kingdom, would the Soviets dare to detain me? Would the Japanese dare to attack our Northeast? National strength!! Everything is the country
Strength, go! I have to go! Muhammad said: Although knowledge is far away in China, we should still seek it. This is Yan'an, not far away, but I don't want the Chairman to know, you should have something to do, right?"
