Chapter 360: Liao Zhongkai
When a group of people entered the dance hall, they were immediately shocked by the Whampoa Military Academy's generosity.
I thought it was just a military academy formed halfway, and the background and financial resources were not considerable.
But now, when you see it, you can see that the new government attaches great importance to it.
Thinking about the predecessor of this military school, everyone suddenly realized to themselves.
Being able to accept the invitation of the graduation ceremony can be regarded as a disguised admission, and he is also a figure on the previous side.
Thinking of the guests here, they picked up the red wine from the waiter's tray on the side, and took advantage of the great opportunity given by the official to talk with those who had already been interested.
As for the cadets who should have attracted the most attention, no, the young officers who should now be called the most promising, they don't even need anyone to lead them, they are already having fun on their own.
"Sister, let's dance!"
Chu Xue and Shao Nianshi nodded, and slid onto the dance floor at their brother's invitation.
On the contrary, Shao Nianshi, who was not interested in dancing at all, just took a glass of red wine and walked to the open-air balcony of the dance party a little unexpectedly.
The neon lights flickered so fast that he had a headache from the cigars and cigarettes lit by the people in the venue.
But when Shao Nian walked to the balcony that he thought was empty, he met someone who came earlier than him.
A man with gold-rimmed glasses, not tall, wearing the favorite Western-style dress of the current businessman, but everywhere exudes a literati atmosphere...... Somewhat ambivalent sir.
"Ah, sorry......"
In order to avoid disturbing the purity of others, Shao Nianshi wanted to quit after seeing someone, but when he just took a wrong step back, he was called back by this person on the balcony.
"It's okay, Mr. Shao, please come in. ”
"It's rare to be pure alone, but if you can have a friend to talk to, it's better than sitting in the world and working hard. ”
Shao Nianshi, who heard this, was curious: "This gentleman ...... How do you know I'm the right one?"
"If I have nothing to say, and I am vulgar and boring, will it not become an ordeal, and it is better to be alone?"
But the man also laughed: "At that time, I will leave from the fast and give this place to you to be pure alone?"
"But I want to warn you, Mr. Shao, if you want to find a clean house, you better close the balcony door quickly. ”
"When you find me bored, it's not too late to open it and banish me. ”
When this person was laughing, Shao Nianshi subconsciously glanced behind him, and after seeing that there were two or three people in this dance hall who were dressed completely differently and showed interested expressions to him, he hurriedly stepped into this terrace, gently covered the door behind him, and half-pulled the curtain on the side of the balcony by the way.
This instantly obscured most of the covetous gaze, and out of social etiquette, people who were not invited would not be cheeky enough to break in unless they were friends of one of the two of them.
After Shao Nian had done all this, he asked again: "I don't know your surname?"
The man didn't sell many crowns, and directly introduced: "My surname is Liao, and I am currently the director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance, and I am fortunate to be in charge of financial coordination in the southern government. ”
"I think Mr. Shao will have a lot of topics to talk to me about. ”
When Shao Nian heard this person's introduction, he didn't even notice it, and his eyes widened unconsciously.
"Could it be that Mr. is ......?"
Before Shao Nianshi's words were finished, the person opposite nodded slightly.
Shao Nianshi didn't know whether his luck was good or bad for a while.
In fact, he came to participate in this graduation ceremony today to indirectly meet with the principal Jiang at that time, which was in the mouth of Chu Shaojun.
The first is to see what kind of person the principal is that his brother admires, and the other is to find out if he can invest or whether the other party has the necessary cooperation opportunities.
But Shao Nianshi's luck didn't seem to be good, and the principal Jiang left in a hurry after his speech.
But now, Shao Nianshi, who has long since lost any hope, has seen another heavyweight figure in a clean corner......
Even Shao Nian, who was far away in Shandong, had heard of the name: Liao Zhongkai.
The leader of the left wing of the Kuomintang was the first person to facilitate close cooperation between China and the Soviet Union.
Shao Nian in the north also heard of this person's reputation, and he took a completely different path from the pro-Japanese faction in the north today.
He was also the greatest contributor to the marked change in the situation of the confrontation between the North and the South, and to shift the final victory in favor of the southern government.
This is the kind of person who is now standing with him, as if he is very interested, and intends to have an in-depth conversation with him.
This made Shao Nianshi feel unexcited, and a sense of pride in doing something big gushed out from his heart.
But the more moments like this, the less he could seem too frizzy.
I am young myself, and I must not feel frivolous and irresistible because of my actions.
Therefore, after Liao Zhongkai finished introducing himself, Shao Nianshi was just stunned, and then he stretched his face and handed his hand to Mr. Liao: "Fortunately, I have admired the name for a long time, Chief Liao, no, please allow me to call Mr. Liao on this occasion." ”
"When I was a contemptible Shao Nian, a businessman in Jicheng, it is my honor to meet my husband today. ”
And it was this initiative that also made Liao Zhongkai stunned, and then he had a good impression because of Shao Nian's boldness.
So he took the hand handed over by Shao Nian very naturally, held it in one place and shook it very naturally, and responded: "Fortunately, Mr. Shao." ”
When the two of them parted their hands, the wine glasses they were holding touched each other, and they laughed out loud as they parted.
"I didn't expect it, Mr. Shao is younger than I thought. But just looking at the words and deeds, it is even better than the young talents who have been famous for many years. ”
Shao Nianshi replied from the bottom of his heart: "No, it is my real honor to meet Mr. Liao here today." ”
"When I know several gentlemen, when they mention the vanguard of the Chinese revolution, they will inevitably mention you, Mr. Liao. ”
"In the eyes of the literati, you are the leader of these people, the highest voice in the political arena. ”
"You know, a layman like me, who finally became a student of those gentlemen, is already a high climber. ”
"But in the eyes of these gentlemen, you are their light. ”
"I don't know how many young talents have been produced in the "Youth Club" established by Mr. ”
"Compared to it, I, Shao, am really a candle flame, and it is difficult to compete with Haoyue. ”
When Shao Nianshi finished saying these words, Liao Zhongkai shook his head and put forward different opinions.
"No, young man, you have a bit of a presumptuous meaning. ”
"Don't underestimate your own energy. ”
"Since we already know each other, then I don't need to call you too unfamiliarly, I'll call you Nian Shi with others. ”
"In those years, we, especially the government in the South, which lacks everything, really need not gentlemen, leaders and politicians in the party or social activists who are constantly on the move. ”
"What our government really needs is the ability to provide our soldiers and people with good military supplies and a happy life. ”
"And most of these capable people come from you business figures. ”
"If a successful businessman like you can shift his focus from making profits to the national economy and people's livelihood, then our government will have a better tomorrow. ”
"Since we met by chance today, it means that this is the fate between you and me. ”
"When fate comes, then as an older person, I want to say a few more words. ”
"I wonder what you think of the Civil War?"
"What is the impact of China's current state on your people's business?"
After saying this, Liao Zhongkai's topic came to an abrupt end, he raised his wine glass slightly, and waited for Shao Nianshi to give him a clear feedback.
As for Shao Nianshi, from these words alone, he felt that the purpose of his trip to the ceremony might be achieved from this gentleman.
Thinking of this, Shao Nianshi said what was in his heart.
"Mr. Liao, I believe that the completion of China's reunification is the most important task at present. ”
"The family and the country cannot be unified, and only one word is needed to summarize it in Chinese history, that is, troubled times. ”
"At the turn of dynasties, it was the hardest and darkest era for Chinese. ”
"At that time, people's livelihood and society, let alone development, were completely in an era of stagnation. If you don't go backwards, you can be considered extremely lucky. ”
"In the same way, in that era, even the wealthy businessmen could not have a good life. ”
On the contrary, they are more worried than ordinary people, because if they are not careful, they will be a tragedy of raiding their homes and destroying their homes. ”
"Now, the old court has long since withdrawn from the past few decades. ”
"But what about our country, what has become of chaos. ”
"You only look at the scenery in front of us, but you can't understand the sadness of our business people behind it. ”
"If there is anyone who most wants China to complete the reunification of the country quickly, then people like us will definitely be at the forefront. ”
"So, I understand what the gentleman said. ”
"If you need to go to my Shao someone's place, just ask. ”
"As long as it is used in the war of confrontation from the south to the north, I will do my best to fund our army and government. ”
"If you need to buy any urgently needed and in-demand goods, you can send someone to negotiate with me. ”
"You know, the northern transportation arteries today are full of Japanese shadows. ”
"If our southern government needs any supplies, it will be really difficult. ”
"But I'm different, I'm from the north, and I have the support of the German government and business agencies in China. ”
"As long as there is a need for this, sir, I will definitely entrust it beautifully when I am young. ”
"So ......" Shao Nian shook the wine glass in his hand towards Liao Zhongkai when he said this: "In order to show my sincerity and determination, I plan to donate a batch of materials to the front-line soldiers and commanders of the current northern front in the name of the Shaw Trading Company. ”
"Because I have just come to the south and have limited funds in my hand, I plan to take out a total of 50,000 oceans of materials and send them to the front line of the north-south handover. ”
"Mr. Liao, what do you think?"
It's just so sincere.
Liao Zhongkai never thought that he could get such a large donation with just a few words with the other party.
According to the style of southern businessmen, there has never been such a reckless businessman as Shao Nian.
But if he knew that the wealthy merchants in the north would be knocked out for 180,000 yuan by the local warlords at every turn, and they would go bankrupt or something, he would not be so surprised.
Probably understanding what Mr. Liao was thinking, Shao Nianshi smiled: "Actually, Mr. Liao doesn't think it's a lot." ”
"If I have the heart to create some trouble for those warlords in the north, and I am willing to contribute the channels for the transportation of my grain and medicinal materials to the revolutionary army of the Nationalist Government to use, is this a greater gift?"
It wasn't until Shao Nian said this that even the hands of a person like Liao Zhongkai who had a city government trembled.
He only widened his eyes and asked, "Really?"
Shao Nianshi nodded heavily: "Really!"
"But be fast, I'm in Qingcheng, and it's also the most convenient route now, and I may not be able to use it soon. ”
"Because the Japanese are pressing on step by step, Dahua Textile Factory is in a very delicate state. ”
"It's a pity that this state of affairs is about to be unsustainable. ”
"Just a few days ago, Chen Jiefu, the director of my Dahua Printing and Dyeing Factory, has cracked the dye formula for foreign flower cloth printing and dyeing. ”
Not only that, but under the inspiration of these formulas, Mr. Chen has developed more beautiful and advanced printing combination colors. ”
"This new product, according to my estimates, will be available in large quantities today in only three days at the latest. ”
"And this cost is lower, the color can be adjusted according to the requirements of the season from time to time printing and dyeing methods, will reduce the sales cost of the flower cloth on the market at least one percent. ”
"At that time, my two textile factories and one printing and dyeing factory in Dahua will all be in operation, and our share of the city in Qingcheng will reach a terrifying 50 percent. ”
"And in the whole Shandong Province flower cloth sales market, our total share will also account for 35% or even more. ”
"When that happens, the six Japanese-invested textile mills on the opposite side will treat our Dahua as a thorn in the side. ”
"My technical director, the employees in my factory, their safety is at stake. ”
