Tang Dao, a local tycoon, paid with gold, which made the Shanxi old man feel very sad, but in the end he still gave him some thin noodles.
In the two days after picking up Zhang Kai from prison, he first went to the Shanxi Provincial Bank to exchange another ten thousand taels of gold, which was a wealth of more than 2 million yuan. There were 50 boxes alone. He was responsible for the transportation.
These carriages filled with large ocean boxes were lined up from the entrance of the bank to the end of the alley, a total of 10 carriages.
More than 2 million silver dollars, enough for the old man to earn more than 10,000 silver dollars in tax points, but there was still an episode in the middle, which raised the old man's blood pressure, which had finally calmed down yesterday.
But I really can't blame Tang Tuanzuo. After all, it was the old man's own doing.
Although the Jin Provincial Bank had been notified in advance and had already prepared some foreign currency, the notice sent from the house was unclear and did not make it clear who Tang Dao was. It only said that he was an army colonel.
As the largest financial institution in Jin Province, Jin Provincial Bank is the old man's money bag in a sense. How can the president be an ordinary person? He is the old man's direct nephew, not to mention the colonel, one of the four great kings under the old man's command.
, all maintain a good relationship with him.
Naturally, I didn't take it too seriously. I didn't receive him personally, I just sent a deputy manager level to receive Tang Dao.
The reason why the bad-ass deputy manager was able to climb to this position was by observing what was happening. Hearing that the notice came from the inner government, and seeing that his boss was not very cold, he quickly imagined a big drama in his mind.
Over the past twenty years, as the old man's power has grown, the number of clansmen, tribesmen, and township parties who depend on him for life has become a large number. They are basically placed in various departments and armies in Jin Province. Such a huge number
Of course, the forces are not monolithic.
In general, the power is divided into three groups. One group is the clan represented by the middle-aged woman, which is also the most powerful. The other group is the old man's in-laws, who are considered relatives, and the last group is the old man's friends when he was a boy.
's friends.
He knew the temperament of his big brother, who was in charge of the most important financial institution in Shanxi Province. He was usually too high-minded. Even General Fu, who came to the bank yesterday to withdraw his military pay, was polite to both parties. This would never happen.
In an almost humble and flattering situation, is it possible that there is someone behind this little colonel that even the old man from Shanxi is afraid of?
But what the hell is a bamboo basket with more than 20 special packaging for 'local products'? Could it be possible that sweet potatoes and corn can also be turned into gold?
Look at the courage of other officers, and then compare it with your own. The porridge can be used as a mirror, the steamed buns are all black noodles, and there is not even a hint of oil in the meal. It is really infuriating that people are more popular than others.
Tang Dao didn't even have the face of a brigade commander to whip his in-laws half to death. If this caused a fuss, he, the bank president, would probably be nothing more than a baby - he could pinch him as much as he wanted.
.
If he is unlucky, the director will definitely remind him that Tang Tuanzuo doesn't seem to care about appearance, but the connotation is really rich. When he handed over the cash to the Ordnance Department, he mentioned this thing.
"Colonel Tang, as long as you can come up with enough gold today, if the cash is not enough, can you move all the bank vaults?" The deputy manager glanced at Tang Dao in a funny way and replied in an almost contemptuous tone.
If necessities such as white flour, rice, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, meat, and cloth are must-selects in the list, cigarettes, wine, tea, etc. are also commonly used by the troops, but even sesame candy, peanut kernels, and peanut brittle
If all the snacks were purchased, the big guys in Linfen City who were paying attention to Tang Dao could only express their feelings by being dumbfounded.
As a result, the deputy manager suffered a tragedy.
The man in the suit's brainstorming ability is super strong.
The deputy manager who was almost crying with fear saw Tang Dao's face getting darker and darker, and the whip in his hand was hitting his palm harder and harder. His face was so frightened that he finally waited until his boss showed up.
, thinking that I finally had a backer, I just breathed a sigh of relief.
Yesterday Tang Dao came up with a move called "Li Peach on behalf of Zombie", which caused him to lose tens of thousands of oceans out of thin air. It was heartbreaking enough, but after all, it was because Tang Dao had a quick mind and used the information gap to find the bug and figured it out on his own.
Yes, the old man can't be too harsh on the Director of Ordnance who has been with him for almost twenty years, just punish him to stand for a day and vent his anger.
Little did he know that the thigh in his eyes - a certain old man's nephew was even worse than what he had just shown, with an almost flattering smile on his face, he trotted up and held the Tang Dao with both hands.
He kept shouting: "Captain Tang, I've admired your name for a long time. It's no wonder that the young one came late!" But it directly kicked the heart of the man in the dog-eyed suit into the abyss.
So, when Tang Dao said jokingly that if he couldn't get cash today, he would have to empty the treasury according to the deputy manager's wishes, the president finally knew the source of Tang Dao's anger.
The two loudmouths gave the man in the dog-eyed suit a bloody nose, and then replied decisively to Tang Dao: "This is a problem with our bank. In order to make up for the loss of Captain Tang, the exchange rate will be the same as yesterday in the Shanghai Concession.
Bank of the West announces ratio execution.”
Anyway, according to the rules, this is not a violation of regulations. Tang Dao is a big customer! Big customers always have some privileges. They ask for exchange according to yesterday's exchange rate. It is normal for the bank to make concessions, and it can also be regarded as a courtesy to the frontline anti-war soldiers.
A kind of support isn’t it?
This thought was very beautiful, but when he happily reported the news of the successful exchange of ten thousand taels of gold to his uncle, the old man from Shanxi was not as happy as he imagined when he saw the huge amount. Instead, his face turned dark.
Several minutes.
"You are indeed the number one bank in Jin Province. I am very satisfied with your service. I have decided happily." Tang Tuanzuo, who turned angry and happy, smiled and held the hand of this rather decisive bank manager.
With a little effort.
But he would have thought that the old man was heartbroken over the loss of tens of thousands of dollars! If Tang Dao had said earlier that he wanted to exchange it for 20,000 taels of gold, he would not have taken the initiative to give Tang Dao a financial tax break.
Therefore, Tang Tuanzuo, who had basically completed all his tasks in Lafen, encountered the legendary neglect and contempt.
Just in time, it offset most of the financial tax losses.
It was a real 10,000 taels of gold. Halfway through the appraisal, several appraisers at the bank were sweating profusely. The deputy manager knew that he had hit a brick wall and quietly sent someone to inform his boss.
But today was a good day. What was particularly good was that his nephew handed him the knife, allowing Tang Dao to cut another piece of fat from his barren thigh.
But this guy was smart enough and immediately called to find out where Tang Dao was coming from. This inquiry didn't matter, he was almost scared out of his wits. Tang Dao's previous record could be ignored by him, and no matter how awesome the Four Elements Group was, they couldn't overwhelm him.
On the head, but the commotion Tang Dao made at the city gate the day before yesterday impressed the dignitaries of Jin Province deeply on Tang Dao.
Although the city of Shanghai fell, everything was business as usual in the Western Concession, and all financial industries were operating as usual. Originally, according to the regulations of the Shanxi Provincial Bank, the exchange rate was based on the exchange rate announced by the city of Shanghai a week ago. However, this week, as the exchange rate fluctuated, U.S. dollars were exchanged for several days in a row.
The exchange rate for oceans rose sharply, almost 0.5 percentage points.
It wasn't until the baggage troops of the Si Xing Regiment arrived and loaded up the huge supplies on trucks that the old man from Shanxi, who was already a little numb, patted his chest and sent this plague god away.
Who said that Commander Tang Da was stupid? You see, this is not easy to talk about! After being so angry, Ten Thousand Dayang was enough to solve it.
Did that bastard come out of this good thing? The old Shanxi man who had just smashed his beloved purple clay pot and quickly realized that he had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars again stared at his nephew for a full minute, staring.
The financial tycoon was sweating profusely in the ten-degree weather, and then he shouted with all his strength: "Get out! Get to the door and stand there for me!"
If he didn't leave, he was worried that the stimulated defenders in Linfen City would mutiny. In comparison, Tang Dao's advantage of 20,000 yuan was nothing.
A bunch of poor soldiers can do well if they have some food and clothing. Why do you buy snacks? What about hairpins, hairpins, rouge, and facial oil? What? You are going to open a brothel in the mountains.
Woolen cloth!
Tang Tuanzuo's 'overbearing president' personality means, of course, that I don't want you to think about it, I only want what I want, and I won't be affected by anything at all.
A shrewd person like the old man from Shanxi would not know this, but he used the ancient emperor's skills to govern his family, established a three-legged system, and played a game of checks and balances.
This is not a peaceful time. What are these powerful people who rely on their bosses to suck the blood of the poor people most afraid of? They are afraid of generals who lead troops, and they are even more afraid of generals like Tang Dao who lead troops without hesitation.
.
Tang Dao has a lot of money in his hands that can be consumed. It is really a lifeless flower. To use Tang Dao's own words: "If you don't spend what you earn from the old man, he will get heart disease."
But there are really neatly arranged large yellow croakers inside, which can make people blind when the light shines on them.
Let me tell you something that everyone can understand. If one U.S. dollar can be exchanged for 4 oceans in the past, it can be exchanged for a little more than 4 dollars now. Calculated based on the U.S. dollars that Tang Dao can exchange for 10,000 taels of gold, it can be much more
Exchange for 10,000 oceans.
The exchange rate is business-like, but your lazy attitude makes you feel like your customers are God. The sponsor’s dad didn’t even grab a cup of tea, which made a certain group member suddenly feel like the three on his collar badge.
The gold star is a fake feeling, saying that the service attitude of the four major banks in the future is poor. Compared with this shabby bank, their service should be at least five stars!
Don't worry about the poor service attitude. Tang Dao can tolerate these things. The key is that Tang Dao asked the deputy manager in a suit and tie whether the bank currently has enough cash, and he will withdraw it all today.
Having a lot of money to a certain extent can really make people tremble. The three gold stars on Tang Dao's collar badge were originally ordinary, but now, in the eyes of the deputy manager, they really shined.
Well, after the dignified director of the Ordnance Department was on duty outside the old man's courtyard for a whole day, the big boss in charge of the financial industry in Shanxi Province came to take over.
This made Tang Tuanzuo angry. He didn't say much. He gave an order to Peng Chong outside, and a group of cavalry carrying simple bamboo baskets broke into the bank. If it weren't for Linfen, which has tens of thousands of troops garrisoned,
, the trembling assistant manager thought the enraged Army colonel was going to commit an armed robbery.
The bank president, who originally had no intention of receiving Tang Dao, immediately knew something was wrong when he heard that the army colonel actually took out a huge sum of tens of thousands of taels of gold, all of which were newly minted gold bars.
An old man from Shanxi who loves money as much as his life can still watch someone from Tang who got an advantage and still "wreak havoc" in Linfen City and "show weakness", then he can really endure it again and again.
Good guy, it’s easy for me to make some money! Why am I surrounded by idiots like you? This is how the old man felt at that time.
The big-headed soldiers holding the oceans did not lower the prices at all. They basically asked for as much as they wanted. In just three days, the amount of consumption exceeded 150,000 oceans. The Jinsui Army guarding the city had envious eyes.
‘The meat is still rotten in the pot!’ This was probably the old man’s last reason to comfort himself.
A certain bank manager felt as if his hand was about to be pinched off, but a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
However, not everyone can despise Tang Tuanzu. Tang Tuanzuo, who delivered the gold on the spot, demanded that the cash be withdrawn immediately. Otherwise, the bank vault would be emptied according to the deputy manager's words.
If he doesn't put in any effort, Tang Tuanzuo is afraid that others won't feel the sincerity of his praise!
Tang Tuanzuo has always been able to stretch and bend. Isn’t it because he was looked down upon even though he didn’t have a cup of tea? He’s actually worth tens of thousands of dollars. If something like this happens every day, Tang Tuanzuo would like to be looked down upon by others every day.
After showing such contempt, you will be given ten thousand oceans. The military expenses, subsidies, and pensions for the brothers will be all there, right?
My legs almost broke when I stood, but the key was the cold! Even though it was almost May, it was really cold on a spring night in the north! The temperature definitely did not exceed 8 degrees. A certain bank manager was only wearing a suit.
If your Excellency hadn't been in charge and sent him a jacket out of fear that something might happen to this guy, he would have gotten seriously ill even if he didn't die.
Tang Tuanzuo did not bother to scare this little man with murderous intent, but the fifty cavalry standing neatly outside the door, all loaded with ammunition, were not decorations. They all had box cannons in their waists, carbines on their backs, and war horses.
The master with the saber in his pouch.
Although he knew the old man quite well, for example, he knew that the old man's demand for gold was much higher than that of Dayang. The old man had made the worst plan for the situation. If the Japanese army was strong, it would be far more difficult to escape with the gold than Dayang.
convenient.
After a round of crazy purchasing, prices in Linfen City were almost raised.
Arms, equipment, and steel raw materials have been purchased. Tang Dao sent out heavy troops and cavalry to purchase some daily necessities.
The old man from Shanxi smashed his beloved purple clay pot.
The old man's money belongs to the government, and all the money he got was finally given away thanks to the hard work of the old men.
That's not true. The hundred taels of gold sent by Tang Dao earlier were worth twenty-four thousand. The Ordnance Department and the Bank made such a fierce operation that they saved another twenty-five thousand and made a huge profit of one thousand oceans.
It was against this backdrop that the deputy manager, who was imagining his own drama, took it for granted that a certain colonel just clung to the lap of the old man's clan and used connections to exchange for silver.
That stop lasted all night.
Seeing the old man's 'menopausal'-like expression of confusion and displeasure, he was waiting to report the exchange details. He didn't dare to hide anything and could only honestly report the details of the exchange rate that he decided to give to a VIP customer.
This almost made the deputy manager cry.
The bank president's mother is the old man's biological sister, but there is a saying in China that "a married daughter throws water out of the water". Since all her surnames are from foreign surnames, they are naturally considered to be related by in-laws, and cannot be compared with the line of ancestral relatives.
Let's fight to the death! But it's also the kind of secretly stumbling between each other, which makes people feel unhappy.
They have followed the old man for more than ten or even twenty years. They know best who the old man is. He is almost a person who has the word "profit" carved on his forehead. In troubled times, he will obviously prefer those rough guys who can help him lead troops to fight.
Guys, once a conflict breaks out, they will most likely be the ones who get the blame.
But it was this man's overt and covert methods that let his clansmen and in-laws know that it was okay to fight openly and secretly, as long as they didn't make it a joke for outsiders. After all, in the entire Jin Province, the most powerful ones were the four kings under his command.
Control Jin Province from civil affairs, economy, military and other fields.
The number of female soldiers recruited by the medical company and communications company in the Fourth Army Regiment has exceeded 100. During normal training periods, there is also a half-day off a week. Why not let the female soldiers dress up in their daily clothes and go back to meet their parents?
Besides, the war was going on for a long time, and I had to celebrate several New Years in between, and I was not allowed to perform a show or anything like that. It was rare for me to come to the big city for purchasing, so Tang Tuanzuo couldn't help but want to buy more at once.
His structure is not as big as his own, but the respectful and humble one knows that Tang Dao does not have a high military rank and does not have many troops, but he is messy enough. Once the problem with his bank gets blown up and the matter becomes big, it is said that
It doesn't matter if he goes to his uncle's place, if the fifth sister who always dislikes him comes to push the situation, I'm afraid he will be in bad luck.
In their eyes, Tang Dao was no longer a gangster, but a lunatic.
But then again, the Japanese are so rich! So Southeast Shanxi has to do a lot for them! Not only the Eightyth Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Northwest Army can participate, but the Shanxi-Sui Army also gets a share of the pie!
The nimble-minded old Shanxi man was stimulated by the local tyrant Tang, and he actually made his own little calculation.
Ten days later, as the 17th Division of the Northwest Army was transferred to southeastern Shanxi, an infantry division of the Shanxi-Sui Army also followed and stationed in the Taihang Mountains.
Together with the original infantry division of the 22nd Group Army, the 921st Division of the 80th Group Army and the regiments directly affiliated with the group army, plus the Four Lines Regiment, the apparent strength of the entire Chinese army in southeastern Shanxi is as high as 70,000.
Thousands of miles away, in the Battle of Xuzhou, after continuous fierce fighting, both China and Japan were exhausted. Both the frontline soldiers and the rear command departments had realized that this battle could no longer achieve the goals they originally wanted to achieve.
Let's play some ball! With this tacit understanding, the battle of Xuzhou comes to an end!
