She said softly: "As Mr. Xiao said, I want to visit friends here this afternoon."
Xiao Ancheng said hurriedly: "We have a friend. He heard that he opened a store on Second Street, called Integrated Store."
Miss Chi nodded, "I know, the boss's surname is Qi. I'll take you there."
The three of them walked together, walking on the always wet bluestone road, letting go of the carts and people carrying burdens. After walking a short distance, they saw a plaque on the door of a store that read: "Integrated Trading Company".
A big character.
14-26
As soon as Xiao Ancheng and others entered the store, Qi Beiluan, the owner of the integrated store, came out with a smile on his face.
He stretched out his hands and said loudly: "Oh, it's Mr. Xiao and Miss Jiang, distinguished guests, distinguished guests. Oh, Miss Chi is even more distinguished. Please sit inside, please sit inside."
Entering the back room, this is obviously Boss Qi's accounting room. There is a desk, a few chairs, and a filing cabinet.
Several people gave in, and finally Miss Chi sat behind the desk, Xiao Ancheng and Jiang Yufeng sat on chairs by the wall, and Boss Qi pulled over a square stool and sat across from the desk.
Miss Chi asked: "Boss Qi, have we met?"
Qi Beiluan said with a smile: "Miss Chi is a celebrity in Wuhu. I have met you at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. But today is probably the first time that Miss Chi has seen me. I am just a small shop here. I don't know.
Are there any opportunities to use the Chi family in the future?"
Miss Chi said: "I am also in the grain business. Boss Qi, can you introduce me to the business here?"
Boss Qi said: "Anhui is a big province of grain. The Chi family is in Wuhu, so doing grain business is the best place. Besides, the Chi family has a large water freight capacity, so it is very convenient to do grain business. Let me briefly introduce my business experience.
The rice producing areas in Anhui are mainly in Chizhou, Anqing, Wuwei and other places. Wuhu is also a rice producing area, but the amount is not large. The wheat producing areas are mainly in Bengbu, Huaibei, Fuyang and other places. The main corn producing areas are Suzhou and Bozhou.
.Beans, that is, oilseeds, are produced most in Huaibei and Bozhou. Let me say one more thing: Wuhu is one of the four major rice markets. If the price of food here rises, the price of food in Nanjing and Shanghai will also rise.
Therefore, if we control the food prices in Wuhu, we will also control the food prices in Nanjing and Shanghai!"
Miss Chi smiled and nodded, and asked casually: "Boss Qi, what kind of rice is best for sale? Can you tell me this?"
Qi Beiluan also laughed and said: "If rice is delicious, it can be sold easily. As for whether it tastes good or not, it mainly depends on the chalkiness, amylose content, protein content, gel consistency, etc. In layman's terms, linear chain
Rice with high starch content has a harder texture, while rice with low amylose content has a relatively soft and waxy texture. In addition, rice contains protein, but if the protein content is too high, the texture will be harder."
At this time, Miss Chi smiled happily. She did not expect that Rice had so much knowledge.
She seemed a little unwilling and asked again: "What kind of rice is considered good rice?"
Speaking of which, Qi Beiluan can be considered a relatively handsome young man, which is why Miss Chi is willing to talk to him.
At this time, Boss Qi looked at the beautiful Miss Chi and was more willing to talk. He looked at Miss Chi with a smile on his face and said seriously: "Miss Chi is asking more and more deeply. Generally speaking,
He said that if the growth cycle is longer, the filling speed is slower, and the temperature difference between day and night is larger in the rice production area, the rice will taste better, and naturally it will be considered good rice. I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer? "
At this time, Miss Chi narrowed her eyes and looked at Qi Beiluan as if she didn't recognize him.
At this point in the story, everyone can see that there is a story between Qi Beiluan and Miss Chi over there. Let me say one more thing, no one can control their own destiny. These two people in front of them Personally.
Xiao Ancheng knew that what Jiang Yufeng wanted to know most at this time was her investment here. He needed to leave some time for her and Qi Beiluan to talk and ask.
He said softly: "Miss Chi, can I lend you a step and ask you a few words?"
Miss Chi woke up from her deep thoughts, rolled her big eyes on his face, stood up gently, and left the room directly.
Xiao Ancheng turned around and waved to Qi Beiluan and Jiang Yufeng, then followed him out of the room.
15-1
Exiting the accounting room is the storefront of Integrated Store.
The store is not very big, but as far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of different kinds of food.
On one side of the store against the wall, there are more than a dozen large wooden cabinets, which contain grain samples. Among them, only rice is divided into japonica rice, indica rice and glutinous rice. Each type is divided into polished rice and brown rice. Others There are also wheat, corn, sorghum, soybean and other varieties, and even tiny barnyards that shine with black light.
There are several tables and chairs on the side near the window. There are teapots and teacups on the table. It is obviously a place for business discussions.
They walked around the store and sat down at a table.
A very discerning man quickly made them a cup of tea and then walked away with a smile.
Chi Jun said softly: "Mr. Xiao, what do you want to ask?"
Xiao Ancheng nodded to her, "I didn't expect Mr. Sasaki to be here too. Sorry, I was just asking."
Chi Jun smiled faintly and said: "He is the consultant of the Wuhu branch of the Nanjing Government General Force. Wuhu's business is basically under his control. Do you understand what I say?"
Xiao Ancheng actually not only understood, but also looked at her in shock. He didn't expect that the Chi family was so brave in Wuhan and dared to challenge Hongmen! Now, they have to accept Sasaki! Just because he controls Wuhu's business! Needless to say, the Chi family's business is also under Sasaki's control!
He asked softly: "Sasaki, is he okay?"
Chi Jun nodded, "Generally speaking, he is pretty good, he just has a little kindness. Mr. Xiao, there is nothing we can do about it. Apart from Wuhu, the Chi family has no other place to stay."
Having said this, she looked at Xiao Ancheng quite sadly and helplessly, as if she hoped he would lend a helping hand.
But in this matter, Xiao Ancheng had no choice at all. Looking at Miss Chi's beautiful appearance and deep eyes, he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Miss Chi Jun said softly: "Let's walk around here for a while, and then go to Sasaki's place. I think what he means is that he seems to have something to say to you."
Xiao Ancheng saw Miss Chi Jun's heart. She was actually carefully obeying Sasaki! He couldn't think of what would happen if he obeyed like this until the end! But no matter what happened, it was heartbreaking!
He had to ask: "Is it far?"
Miss Chi Jun said: "It's not too far, just on Zhongzheng Road, in a small western-style building."
So, Xiao Ancheng entered the company's accounting room, first called Jiang Yufeng, then said hello to Boss Qi, and then left with Miss Chi.
15-2
About twenty minutes later, Miss Chi, Xiao Ancheng and Jiang Yufeng were standing in front of the small building on Zhongzheng Road.
They can probably tell that this is a French-style building. Blue bricks and red bricks are staggered with patterns, and the doors and windows are decorated with curling flowers. It looks a bit old, but for a small city like Wuhu, it should be
One of the best houses.
A middle-aged woman came to open the door. As soon as she saw Miss Chi, she opened the door and kindly invited them in.
In the living room, Sasaki politely invited them to sit down on the sofa and made them coffee himself.
He had changed into a short-sleeved milky white georgette shirt, beige Crottin trousers underneath, and put on a pair of flip-flops on his feet wearing cotton socks. Obviously, his socks were made in Japan, and his big toes were
divided.
They sat down and chatted casually for a few words.
At this time, Miss Chi smiled and said: "Mr. Sasaki wants to smoke, please go upstairs and smoke, and ask Mr. Xiao to accompany you. Mr. Xiao, you can also invite me."
Xiao Ancheng understood what she meant, so he stood up, looked at Sasaki, then at Miss Chi, waved to Jiang Yufeng, and followed Sasaki upstairs.
15-3
The bedroom upstairs can be described as luxurious. A four-poster bed is placed on one side, and the writing desk is placed by the window. In the middle is a small round table with embroidered piers on both sides. There are two cowhide sofas at the door, which are quite large.
lenient.
Sasaki took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and stretched it out to Xiao Ancheng. Xiao Ancheng shook his head at him and said that he did not smoke. He threw the cigarette on the table and sat down on the sofa.
He sat upright as if he was quarreling with someone, saying nothing. They sat like this for a long time!
Xiao Ancheng could see that Sasaki did have something to say to him, but he was still a little hesitant. He judged that Sasaki's hesitation was nothing more than two things, either the content of what he said or the way he said it!
But no matter what he wanted to say or how he said it, Xiao Ancheng couldn't rush him. He could only look at him quietly and wait!
Therefore, there are two such strange people, one is a former Japanese military combat staff officer and now a powerful business consultant in Wuhu, and the other is an agent of the First National Army. It is a very strange thing for these two people to sit together!
15-4
In the living room downstairs, it was a different situation.
With Miss Chi Jun's status and intelligence, she and Jiang Yufeng really have nothing to say! But here's the strangeness of this matter!
The Chi family was once so brave that they dared to fight against the powerful Hongmen in Wuhan! But when they arrived in Wuhu, even though they were the foundation of their business, the Pengchuan Gang was under the shadow of Sasaki!
Mr. Sasaki is still deeply devoted to Miss Chi, humble, considerate, gentle, and even responsive to requests.
But the Chi family is under his shadow! Even the old lady can't do anything! Chi Jun can't do anything either! His father Chi Yutian is in Wuhu, with a division of troops under his command, but there's still nothing he can do! Things are so weird!
But the sudden appearance of Xiao Ancheng unexpectedly gave the smart Miss Chi a glimmer of hope!
If the Chi family wants to escape from Sasaki's shadow, or the Japanese's shadow, it seems that it can only rely on the National First Army! It must rely on Xiao Ancheng and Captain Chen!
