Chapter Ninety-Four: The Contract of the Republican Army

Pang Wenlan's idea is that the two brothers are literate and martial, echoing each other in TW and MD, and they can start a career.

However, the people who were sent out were paid a lot of money by Pang Wentao every time, and then politely sent back.

No matter what Pang Wenlan said, Pang Wentao was unmoved, and did whatever he had to do.

However, although their respective roads are not passable, Pang Wentao has not forgotten his younger brother.

In the most difficult years when the remnants of the army faced the siege of various countries, the TW government finally remembered the survival of these people and took some of them to TW.

As a senior military officer, Pang Wenlan had the opportunity to return to TW at that time, and Pang Wentao also did a lot of work for this.

However, Pang Wenlan couldn't let go of his brothers, let alone his ideals, so he finally stayed in MD.

Pang Wenlan's choice seemed to Pang Wentao to be obsessive, because Pang Wentao did not understand Pang Wenlan's pursuit at all, so he personally went to MD to try to persuade Pang Wenlan.

The first reunion between the two brothers after the war should have been a mixture of joy and sorrow, but no one expected that Pang Wentao and Pang Wenlan would have completely fallen out, and this meeting became the last.

In the decades that followed, the two brothers never had direct contact with each other, although they would learn about each other's situation through some indirect channels.

Pang Wentao regarded his younger brother as a monster who did not know the times, while Pang Wenlan thought that his elder brother had degenerated into a profit-heavy businessman, which had disgraced the Pang family that had been fighting horses for generations.

Probably at the same time that Pang Wenlan occupied Changqing Mountain, Pang Wentao's career also ushered in a leap, marrying the only daughter of a tycoon in SH City, and taking over all the family business of his father-in-law.

After that, his career flourished, and today he can be said to be rich and rivaled by the country.

Although the different pursuits of the value of life make the two brothers break up, the friendship between brothers will not disappear so lightly.

Therefore, after having a certain foundation, Pang Wentao will take out a sum of money every year to support his younger brother, and as his career continues to develop, the amount will become larger and larger.

Pang Wenlan, who was trapped in Changqing Mountain, was most lacking money, and even resold drugs for this reason, but his stubborn temper flared up at this time, and he resolutely refused to ask for his brother's money.

Pang Wentao also has a stubborn temper, and he does not interrupt because his younger brother refuses to ask for it, and he will put a huge amount of money into an account on time every year.

This is not because he is interested in helping the Kokang people gain independence and freedom, but simply to do something for his younger brother.

And Pang Wenlan insisted that taking this money meant that his years in MD were in vain, so no matter how stretched he was, he just watched the money in the account continue to increase, but he resolutely did not use a penny.

"So that's ......" Pang Jindong sighed, sighing for the persistence of the two uncles.

Speaking of which, when Pang Jindong was in Changqing Mountain, he always felt that Pang Wenlan seemed to have a large amount of money in hand, but he refused to use it, and today he realized that this was the case.

"I don't think this should have happened...... "Pompeke hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Of course, we are not qualified to say anything as juniors, and you are even more so as grandchildren. ”

Pang Peike was a little worried, Pang Jindong had no intention of commenting on the rights and wrongs between the two uncles, what Pang Jindong really cared about was the recent situation of the second uncle: "Is the second grandfather's health okay?"

"It's not good, I've been sick in bed all these years. After a pause, Pang Peike told Pang Jindong: "We went this time and introduced you to his old man's house." Your second grandfather is very pleased that the Pang family still has blood in the mainland, and he is very proud of the career you created at a young age. ”

When Pang Peike said this, he took out a stack of legal documents and handed them to Pang Jindong: "This is from your second grandfather." ”

Pang Jindong took a closer look at these documents, and the content involved one of the things that Pang Peike had just mentioned, that is, the account that Pang Wentao had used to support the Kokang Republican Army over the years.

This account is owned by Pang Wentao, only he and Pang Wenlan can use it, Pang Wentao only deposited money in it but never withdrawd.

Now, he has given this account to Pang Jindong as a donation to the Southeast Asian Chinese Association.

Pang Jindong was not surprised by this arrangement, since Pang Wenlan was either stubborn or unwilling to use the money because of stubbornness or for the sake of face, then handing over the money to the Southeast Asian Chinese Association was equivalent to indirectly helping the Kokang Republican Army.

It's just that when Pang Jindong's eyes fell on the number on this account, he was immediately surprised: "220 million...... USD ......"

"That's it...... so much" Pang Peike nodded, and said with some emotion: "Your second grandfather is a very generous person. ”

"I believe that the people in our family are very generous, but I am surprised that the second grandfather is so rich. ”

"Your second grandfather can also come up with more money, he asked me to tell you, if you can make full use of this money, then he will have follow-up donations. ”

Pang Jindong carefully put away these texts, and then asked Pang Peike: "What kind of company does the second grandfather run?"

"TEPCO. ”

Pang Jindong was taken aback again: "It turned out to be Dongfang Electronics......"

Dongfang Electronics is a leader in the electronics industry in Asia, with factories in TW and many parts of Southeast Asia, and its products cover the whole of Asia, and even exported to Europe and the United States.

Due to its successful business strategy and high strategic foresight, the company has always been able to adapt to the needs of the times in a timely manner, and is the only local company that can compete with Japanese and Korean companies in today's digital product field.

Although Pang Jindong had heard of Dongfang Electronics' name, before Pang Peike said this, Pang Jindong did not know much about this company, let alone know who its chairman's surname was.

There are two main reasons, one is because Pang Jindong has not set foot in this industry;

Although the mainland is the largest market for Dongfang electronic products, this company has never set foot in the mainland, but has only set up several offices to be responsible for product sales and after-sales service, not to mention factories, not even a branch.

This situation is rare, if not unique, in today's TW companies.

Pang Peike knew more about this company and reminded Pang Jindong: "If you have heard of TEPCO, you should know that Dongdian has never come to the mainland. ”

"I know. Pang Jindong nodded, and then said: "No matter what industry enterprises belong to, whether it is TW, South Korea, Dongying or other countries, they have set up factories in the mainland many years ago, making full use of the mainland's cheap labor and raw materials to reduce costs, but TEPCO has not done so." ”

"Actually, your second grandfather really wanted to come, and the reason why he didn't come was a concession made by your fourth grandfather. ”

Pang Jindong frowned and asked strangely, "What concessions?"

Pang Peike told Pang Jindong that Pang Wentao did not agree with Pang Wenlan's beliefs out of brotherly love, but he still respected Pang Wenlan, so he never came to the mainland.

He wanted to use this to ease the relationship between his brothers, but unfortunately Pang Wenlan didn't appreciate it.

Pang Jindong nodded: "Knowing these things can be regarded as my ending another wish." ”

Seeing that Pang Jindong valued family affection so much, Pang Peike felt very relieved: "Your second grandfather hopes that you can go to TW to see him." ”

"I'd love to go right now, but I'll have to wait until I have time, aunt you should know how much I have to do now. ”

"Of course I know you're not alone, we're going to get busy. ”

Pang Jindong nodded: "Although the rainy season is very long, we must hurry up and prepare for the decisive battle." ”

"I have one more thing to do this time, and it is about you and the Kokang Republican Army. When Pang Peike said these words, his face suddenly became very solemn, and he buried all the family affection just now in his heart, looking like he was doing business.

Although Pang Jindong had already guessed it, he still asked, "What's the matter?"

"This matter needs to be handled by you as the commander of the Blood Lion Legion, not the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army......" Pang Peike said and took out a few more words and handed them to Pang Jindong's hands.

Pang Jindong took a general look and found that these documents were all contracts, and the content was to formally clarify the relationship between the Kokang Republican Army and the Blood Lion Legion.

So far, the Kokang Republican Army and the Blood Lion Legion have had an extremely close working relationship, but they are two armies that cannot be mixed up at all.

Although the specific relationship between the two sides is well known to the senior officials on both sides, it should indeed be further clarified and detailed in writing.

Although nominally the Kokang Republican Army hired the Blood Lion Legion to fight, the Blood Lion Legion never collected a penny, and there was no clear statement on how many soldiers the Blood Lion Army needed to provide.

The construction of the Blood Lion Legion's Cuonong Mountain base has begun, and the Kokang Republican Army has given full assistance, also free of charge.

In fact, Pang Jindong has long had this idea, and if it is not divided as soon as possible, it will bring great confusion in the future.

This time, Pang Peike took the initiative to bring it up, which just catered to Pang Jindong's thoughts.

The contract is divided into three parts, the first part is a formal mercenary combat contract, and the Kokang Republican Army requires the Blood Lion Legion to provide at least 10,000 soldiers at this stage and in the future, while also giving a very reasonable price;

The second part is that the Kokang Republican Army uses the Blood Lion Legion's recruitment network to recruit and hire the Blood Lion Legion to help train officers and soldiers;

The third part is about the Kokang Republican Army's assistance in the construction of the Cuonongshan base.

Pang Jindong read the contract carefully, felt very satisfied, and signed it almost without hesitation.

The establishment of a clear relationship between the two sides was proposed by Pang Tianzhong, and many people objected to it at the time, because it meant that a large amount of real money would have to be taken out from now on, and this was a big problem for the cash-strapped Kokang Republican Army.

Fortunately, things are not as simple as they seem, as long as the Kokang Republican Army pays the money to the Blood Lion Legion, Pang Jindong will inevitably return part of his share of the profits after removing the necessary expenses and commissions of officers and soldiers.

Moreover, Pang Jindong is in control of the Southeast Asian Chinese Association, and can raise financial resources in many ways to help the Kokang Republican Army solve the financial problem.

After a period of observation, Pang Wenlan, Pang Tianpet and others are at ease enough with Pang Jindong in these aspects.

However, no one has told all these truths, because some of the details cannot be told to outsiders, otherwise it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, there are so many objections within the Kokang Republican Army that it is difficult to convince them all with such a reason.

Some of them think that the Blood Lion Legion should be used for free as much as possible, but they forget that people are not fools;

There are also those who believe that if the Kokang Republican Army alone is not able to deal with the MD government forces, it is clear that a few mercenaries who fight for money will not be able to fundamentally turn the situation around.

The latter view is mostly held by the patriarchs, and this view really hits the point, so it gradually gains the upper hand.

If it weren't for Pang Jindong to send the good news back to Changqing Mountain, let everyone know that the attitude of the north has changed, and will help the Kokang Republican Army, and then make everyone believe that the war will be won in the end, then the Blood Lion Army may be swept away.

Now that the hope of victory can be seen, it is imperative to increase the strength as much as possible, and the Blood Lion Legion has rightfully become the mercenaries of the Kokang Republican Army.

It was also in order to strengthen their strength that Pang Peike and Zhao Mengde came to China.

Pang Jindong introduced them to Nick on the same day, and the next thing was that Nick introduced the entire recruitment network to them, and then they began to recruit soldiers for the Kokang Republican Army.

The biggest problem that Pang Jindong has always faced is the lack of manpower, and many things that should have been handled by his own people have to rely on hiring outsiders to complete.

Now the Kokang Republican Army is also facing this problem, the recruitment process is very complicated and cumbersome, from the initial release of information, the reception of conscripts, the organization of physical examinations, physical fitness tests, interviews, to the final screening of qualified personnel, each of the tasks requires a large number of people, and there are special personnel in charge.

Even if the Pompekes had three heads and six arms, they could not do so much work independently, so they had to rely on hired personnel to complete it.

If there is a problem in one of these links, then the entire work chain will be interrupted, and because the employment personnel are unreliable after all, there may be problems of passive sabotage, favoritism and even benefit transfer.

In the face of this kind of bad possibility, we can only adopt the method of high salaries and low salaries, and buy and encourage these hired personnel through high salaries.

However, the human resources of the Kokang Republican Army are still very rich after all, and Pang Wenlan's family is very large, so when Yiqiē is on the right track, he will send an additional group of people to the country.

When the time comes, they will not only take over all the important links, but also further help Pang Jindong.

Pang Jindong has also thought of a lot of ways to solve the problem of shortage of manpower, because what is needed is loyal, reliable, hard-working and talented people, and now this society lacks such people the most, so it is very difficult to choose the right person.
