Upstairs at Weihua Pharmaceutical, Jiang Cheng and several giants told half-truths and half-false stories about what happened to them during this period.
Several people looked at each other, and Du Yuesheng spoke first, "Mr. Yu has already told us everything. Since you have chosen the Red Party, Mr. Yu has gone to Yan'an to inspect, and we don't have much opinion. After all, we are all
Bai Xiang people don't know much about military affairs. We just want to make money. Just tell us what you want us to do."
Jiang Cheng stood up and said to the big bosses, "Thank you, gentlemen. Let me tell you straight. Mr. Yu should have told everyone my previous thoughts. According to my intelligence, the war will begin in early July."
Starting from now, it is expected that the war will start in Shanghai in August. It will be very chaotic then, so we have to prepare in advance. Mr. Yu, you are the barefoot God of Wealth in Shanghai. Please contact the factory owner more. Once the war starts, we will be informed immediately.
I think that the Nanjing government will also organize relocation at that time, but by then only large enterprises will have help from the central government. It will be difficult for small and medium-sized factories to move inland without help from the central government. So this work will be left to us.
Do."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng looked back at Chen Tongsheng who was standing behind him and said, "How much money do we have now?"
Chen Tongsheng immediately replied, "Go back to the boss. Since the boss has opened branches in Europe and the United States, although the price is much higher, it allows payment without gold. Therefore, our business has been much worse recently than before. Last time the boss
After repaying the money we borrowed from gentlemen, we still have 89,456 taels of gold and about 11.5 million yuan in legal currency in our account as of yesterday.
Jiang Cheng nodded, this income is not bad. After all, the main buyers in Europe and the United States have begun to purchase from German branches and American branches. Only those seeking higher profits will bring gold to Shanghai to buy from afar.
Jiang Cheng said, "I still have a ton of gold here that Yan'an gave me. I will take it all away in batches and exchange it for silver of equivalent value. That is about 15.6 million. I will give 4 million to the four first."
Sir, because there will probably not be such a stable time to make money in the future, then we will set aside 6 million as a fund to transport all the factory machinery that can be moved. Except for the textile industry and other light industries in the south, we will try our best to move the rest.
Yan'an transportation. Mr. Yu is fully responsible for this matter. Then there are people. Mr. Du is the most famous in Shanghai. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Du to organize all the workers who are willing to go north to Yan'an, and those who are not willing to move to Chongqing and Wuhan.
, first take three million to do this work, then Boss Huang, you will give another one million, you have the title of major general, please organize the transfer of cultural relics and books in Shanghai at that time. Finally, it is Sister Guisheng,
Please mobilize your sisters to publicize the atrocities of the Japanese and do a good job in public opinion work. I know that the fastest way to upload messages in the world is not the telegraph but the mouths of your sisters."
Everyone laughed loudly at Jiang Cheng's words. They looked at each other and shook their heads. Yu Qiaqing first said, "Xiao Jiang, you thought well, but we still don't want the four million. We started doing business with you in partnership."
It is indeed to make money, but at this time today, the Japanese are about to attack. Do you think we still want to make money? We know you have a way, so let’s buy some guns first."
Jiang Cheng talked hard and finally agreed that everyone would take 500,000 French currency as dividends first, and the rest of the money would be used for small and medium-sized factories and enterprises to move in.
The reason why we plan to transport gold back to modern times and then exchange it for silver to the Republic of China is because the price of silver in the Republic of China was high and the ratio of gold to gold was about 30-40:1, while the ratio in modern times is 70-80:1. This can be done in one go.
Twice as much silver.
At this time, another dispute broke out downstairs.
Li Qian waited in line for more than two hours and finally saw the door. At this moment, a man in gray clothes suddenly rushed over. This man was tall but he huddled up and bumped into Li Qian.
Li Qian was a practicing practitioner since she was a child, so she was not afraid of him, so she immediately knocked him to the ground.
The man in gray clothes rolled his eyes, covered his hand and said, "Why are you crowding people? My hand, my hand is broken."
Li Qian couldn't understand Shanghainese at all, but she guessed it by looking at him.
At this time, several men rushed out from nowhere, surrounded the man in gray and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Then they pointed at Li Qian and said, "You little red guy, you hit someone, please pay for it quickly."
Li Qian understood the compensation and immediately shouted, "He obviously has nothing wrong with him, and he was the one who hit me first."
At this time, the horse boy who was maintaining order came over and pulled the man in gray to get up. He touched his arm, ah, it was really broken. The horse boy was immediately troubled. Although he knew it was these gangsters, his hand was really broken now.
It's broken, what's going on?
When the men saw this situation, they didn't know what was happening. Someone immediately grabbed Li Qian and dragged her out. Li Qian had never been treated like this before. She kicked the man to the ground with a kick and pulled out the soft tissue from her waist.
Jian said, "You framed good people, and I won't be polite if you do this again."
"What are you doing?" Everyone looked back and saw a man with a flat head and a long coat standing at the door of the store. Ma Zai quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, it's like this." Then he explained the matter again.
Lin Huaibu looked at Ma Zai and said, "Are you new here? You can't even see such little tricks?"
As he said this, he grabbed the gray-clothed man's arm and pulled it away. With a click, the arm was connected. Lin Huaibu smiled and said, "You dare to run wild tricks here. Don't you like to break your arms? Come on, take all these people's arms."
Interrupt it and throw it out into the street, don't get your eyes dirty here."
Ignoring those poor eggs, Lin Huaibu looked at Li Qian who was holding a soft sword and said, "The girl is frightened, but we are not allowed to use swords and guns here. It is better for the girl to put it away. I have the final say on how many medicines you need. You can buy them in advance."
Li Qian scratched her head and said, "I'm not here to buy medicine, I'm here to find someone." Then she handed the letter to Lin Huaibu.
Lin Huaibu took a look and was horrified and said, "It turns out that he is the disciple of the famous Jade Faced Tiger Han Muxia. I am disrespectful. Please come upstairs."
Jiang Cheng was introducing Wang Yong at this time, and asked Chen Tongsheng to cooperate with Wang Yong to recruit another two hundred escorts and train them strictly for great use. These are prepared to be used as the company's escorts in the future.
Lin Huaibu stepped in and said to Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Jiang, someone is looking for you." He handed the letter to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng took it and saw that it was a letter written by Zhou Guansheng. The main message was that he knew that there were no people around him, so he sent a junior sister to protect his safety.
Jiang Cheng asked Li Qian, "What's your name?"
Li Qian cupped her hands and said, "My dear Li Qian, please give me your advice in the future."
Jiang Cheng quickly raised his hand and said, "I, Jiang Cheng, please leave it to me from now on. Wang Yong, from now on Miss Li will be your deputy and will be treated the same as you. Go and talk to Miss Li about the treatment we have here."
Wang Yong sighed and pulled Li Qian to the back row to talk. Jiang Cheng continued the meeting with the big bosses.
Li Qian asked curiously, "Are we treated well?"
Wang Yong nodded thiefly and said, "Our boss, oh, no, my boss is a super landlord. Your treatment is the same as mine. Salary for 13 months a year, 300 French currency a month, triple salary on holidays, and benefits."
Also, if you need any special equipment, you will report it to the old man over there with the abacus, and he will take care of it. Also, our boss has many secrets, so we must be strict with our words."
Li Qian listened to Wang Yong talking about welfare benefits, her eyes grew bigger and bigger, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her eyes kept rolling, and said, "Is this true? Is our salary so high? Three hundred yuan, my dear
,How many candied haws are these?”
Wang Yong patted his chest and said, "That's still fake. Look at the queue downstairs. They are all here to buy things from our boss."
Jiang Cheng then said to Yu Qiaqing, "There is one more thing. The Red Party and I have discussed preparing to sponsor some students before the war starts and send some students to study in the United States and Germany. There will be people from the Red Party in Peking who will be responsible for sending them to the Soviet Union.
, we will send them to the United States and Germany to mainly learn science and engineering knowledge. If anyone is interested, they can also study military affairs. We are too short of talents."
Yu Qiaqing nodded and said, "This is a good thing. How many are you planning to send?"
Jiang Cheng said, "The first batch of one thousand people will be recruited from the south and they must be sent out as quickly as possible."
Du Yuesheng was shocked when he heard this and said, "A thousand people? So many? As far as I know, there were only 1,002 international students studying abroad in the country last year (historical facts). Now there are a thousand people. Where can we find so many students?"
?And they all require those who are both good in character and academics, so the money is quite a lot."
Jiang Cheng replied, "Not only high school students, junior college students, and college students are required to go directly to the school to find them based on their grades and conduct. We will be responsible for all their tuition fees abroad. They should be tempted by such conditions. The key is now
It’s still a safe period, and we can still send people out. Once the war starts, it will not be easy for us to send people out. We will pay the remaining money first, and if it is not enough, we will find a way later."
Huang Jinrong said, "Send it, it is a good thing to send the child to study. No matter how difficult it is, it is worth it. We will send it, but Xiao Jiang in Europe and the United States must make arrangements quickly."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I will make arrangements. These people must be selected before mid-July and sent out before August."
After Jiang Cheng finished the meeting with several big bosses, he turned back to Li Qian and said, "Come on, I will show you around and introduce some brothers to you." After that, he took Wang Yong and Li Qian downstairs.
Met Ding Jie and Jin Shan.
After the two sides greeted each other, Jiang Cheng ordered the four of them to work together, especially to ensure the recruitment and training of the security team.
At this time, a voice came from behind: "Brother Cheng!!"
When Jiang Cheng turned around, it was Yu Yishan. When Yu Yishan saw Li Qian standing next to Jiang Cheng, she raised her forehead and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng, who are these two?"
Jiang Cheng quickly introduced, "This is Li Qian, a disciple of Han Daxia in Tianjin, and this is Wang Yong - that, Wang Yong, where did you learn your kung fu?"
Wang Yong raised his head and said, "I learned my marksmanship from hunting, my shooting skills from herding sheep, and my fighting skills from fighting tigers."
Jiang Cheng swallowed his saliva and skipped over and said, "This is the eldest lady of the Yu family - Yu Yishan. She is helping me run a literacy class now. By the way, how are the brothers studying now?"
Jin Shan quickly said, "Thanks to Miss Yu, now most of the brothers can write more than three or four hundred words."
Jiang Cheng frowned. This was still too slow. Although there were already Chinese pinyin and simplified characters, due to confusion in thinking, after the simplified characters were announced in 1935, on February 5, 1936, due to the **
* Elder Dai Jitao strongly opposed it, and the Ministry of Education took it back by order of the Executive Yuan, and the simplified character movement stopped. Moreover, the simplification at this time was very different from that of later generations, and it was not as simple as that of later generations.
As for Chinese Pinyin, it was first proposed by Lu Xunzhang in 1892. It was first formulated by the Chinese Pronunciation Unification Association in 1913 and released by the Ministry of Education of the Beiyang Government in 1918. However, this is different from the pinyin of later generations. The more accurate one should be called phonetic symbols, which is
Symbols with the same radicals appearing next to them appeared in dictionaries in later generations. In later generations, only Taiwan was still fully learning these symbols.
The Chinese Pinyin, as it is known to later generations, was first announced by Nanjing *** Government University in 1928. However, it was not popular.
Jiang Cheng secretly thought that he would have to bring these literacy skills to the Republic of China next time. An army with culture and ideas is the most terrifying army.
Yu Yishan walked into Jiang Cheng, held his hand, and then looked at Li Qian proudly.
Although Li Qian doesn't quite understand how Miss Yu stares at her, she has learned one thing since she was a child. When others stare at you, don't worry about why, just stare back. Li Qian didn't say a word but she didn't say anything.
Staring at Yu Yishan.
Jiang Cheng looked at the two people who looked like Douyan and shook his head helplessly, "What's going on?"
Jiang Cheng said to Yu Yishan, "I will bring you some textbooks next time. They contain the latest Chinese pinyin and simplified characters. You will let your new brothers learn this in the future. They will learn it faster." Yu Yishan said curiously, "Really?"
Then I’m really curious.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "You'll know once you try it." He led everyone back to the warehouse to visit the security team and workers, and introduced Wang Yong and Li Qian to everyone.
After giving all the instructions, Jiang Cheng brought half of the gold to modern times that night, planning to make a small profit by taking advantage of the difference in precious metal prices between the two eras.
——Berlin, Germany, June 16, 1937
On this day, many heavyweights came to the tank testing ground outside Berlin. Daimler led the way at the front, followed by a series of German officers in military uniforms. One of them had the iconic mustache of Hitler.
Gustav Krupp, the last man with a mustache, looked at Daimler's proving ground with critical eyes, where a mighty tank was waiting for the final inspection.
Hitler and others sat on a high platform and looked at the tank not far away with binoculars. Hitler asked, "Daimler, is this your latest model? It looks very different from the previous models."
Daimler smiled and said, "My head of state, the models you gave me brought me great inspiration. The 37mm gun we originally designed did not perform well against the latest French tanks or Soviet tanks. So we
It has been redesigned, and now you have the Panzer III tank in front of you - Type D.
Guderian looked at the tank and said in surprise, "You seem to have changed its caliber. It should be 50MM, right?"
Daimler nodded and said, "After we saw the French and Soviet tank armor in the intelligence, we thought that it was impossible to gain an advantage by relying only on the 37MM tank gun. Moreover, the intelligence showed that the Soviet Union's latest tank armor was sloped armor, although this would
This leads to a smaller space, but it does also greatly increase the defense. We use the 50mm 42 times caliber KwK38 artillery, so that its armor-piercing capability reaches 50mm, and the standard vehicle can carry 99 rounds of 50mm artillery shells and
With 2,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition, the ammunition carried by our tanks can ensure that our soldiers can fight for a long time."
Hitler shook his head and said, "What about his defensive power? Our tanks can't only have attack power, but also their speed and..."
Guderian quickly added, "It still has the ability to continue combat."
Daimler shook his head and said, "Our engine is still not good, so the armor has not been strengthened. The armor is still the thickest 37mm. Since only the weapon system has undergone some changes, the continuous combat capability has not changed much."
Hitler waved his cane calmly and said, "Engines, our empire needs better engines. Who is researching engines now?"
Himmler immediately replied, "It's the Maybach company. But the news they sent is not very good. It will be difficult for the engine to make a huge breakthrough in a short period of time."
Hitler said loudly, "We must speed up. Our time has been delayed for too long by those damn financiers. By the way, how is the design of the Panzer IV tank?"
Himmler replied, "The design had already been completed, but after getting the latest opponent intelligence, we started to redesign it. Rheinland Corporation said that it will produce the first prototype by the end of this year at the earliest."
Hitler nodded and thought for a while and said, "Everyone, the time we wasted is being caught up in our efforts. The great cause of the Third Reich is being created in our hands, and the shame of the world war will be eliminated in our hands."
Washing, as I said before, if you wait until the Germanic people multiply until the population swells, they will stretch out their hands to grab territory. At that time, for bread and butter, of course the public would not hesitate to use hoes instead of swords to uncover the secrets of war.
Xu Mu. At that time, it will be a shame to all previous rulers. Let us use the swords in our hands to find land for the plows of the common people."
Everyone was excited by Hitler's speech and said excitedly, "Heil, Hitler."
Tianjin, June 17, 1937. At this time, the entire Chinese maritime territory was basically in a stage where there was no sea defense. The Chinese Navy was a well-deserved fleet. After all, even the army was still an average of two or three people with one gun.
It cannot afford a navy that is like a gold-eating beast.
At this time, Tianjin's Sino-Japanese relations were extremely tense due to a series of incidents such as the floating corpse case and Japan's request to expand the concession. At this time, Zhang Zizhong received a secret mission from Song Zheyuan to help the Red Party transport machinery and equipment. He was also very nervous, Tianjin was not
The 29th Army is so dominant that even in the concession, it is not known whether there are artillery secretly aiming at its headquarters. It is not easy to transport a large amount of machinery and equipment into the inland without concealing it from the Japanese, let alone
The people from the Lanyi Club were watching eagerly. If they used the army, they would undoubtedly have three hundred taels of silver here. Without the army, the confidentiality issue would no longer be an issue at all. I am afraid that even a few screws would be discovered.
