A long whistle sounded piercingly, and the crowded train slowly drove into Zhabei Station amid bursts of black smoke and turbulence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Yi and the second uncle in the suitcase stepped onto the platform with the flow of people, and slowly moved out of the crowded exit with the crowded passengers.

Xu Maofu, who had been waiting for a long time, strode forward, took the suitcase in the second uncle's hand, turned around quickly, opened the back door of the limousine, and asked the second uncle to send the suitcase in as soon as he got into the car, bypassed the rear of the car, and quickly got into the cab to start the engine.

The car quickly left the crowded station, walked a few hundred meters, turned into the north-south street, gradually picked up speed, and drove in the direction of Waibaidu.

Xu Maofu turned his head, glanced at Zheng Yi, who was full of fatigue, looked at the street in front of him again, and drove at a constant speed: "You don't have a strange thing in the past two days, three birdmen took the official letter of the garrison headquarters, swaggered into our French Concession Company, and asked our Huafeng Company to raise 5,000 tons of rice and 3,000 tons of flour for the army, but kept silent about the purchase price and payment method, I remembered your instructions and pushed the matter to the eldest brother-in-law." ”

"What does my brother-in-law say?" Zheng Yi cheered up.

"I am still checking the true identities of those three people, and for the sake of insurance, the company has added two guards, and is waiting for someone to appear again, but two days have passed and no one has been seen." Xu Maofu replied.

Zheng Yi thought for a moment: "Who is the current garrison commander?" ”

"It's still Xiong Shihui."

Xu Maofu saw that Zheng Yi didn't speak with a dark face, so he didn't continue.

The car drove across the Waibaidu Bridge and slowed down into the French Concession under the attention of the Annan police, Zheng Yi instructed Xu Maofu not to go back to the company first, and drove the car to Feng's mansion, and Xu Maofu immediately complied.

An hour later, Feng Jingzhai, accompanied by two confidant bodyguards, hurried back to his home, entered the living room and waved his hand to signal Zheng Yi not to be polite, went in to wash his face and change into a loose casual clothes and returned to the living room again.

Zheng Yi briefly reported the experience of meeting with Lao Jiang, and finally said solemnly: "In general, the trip to Nanjing was not very pleasant, and when I left Nanjing this morning, Uncle Zhou Shishu sighed and warned me not to be too arrogant, not to care too much about the gains and losses in front of me, and to do more practical things for President Jiang and the party-state. ”

"On the train, I thought all the way, weighed the pros and cons over and over, and gradually understood the meaning of Uncle Zhou's words...... It seems that Lao Chiang does not want me to get too close to the British, and seems to be dissatisfied with my previous contributions, and wants me to pay more for him. ”

Feng Jingzhai pondered, and only after a while did he tell Zheng Yi about his investigation in the past two days: "The identity of the person who came to the door with an official letter from the Songhu Garrison Command two days ago has been verified, and it is from the Intelligence Department of the Headquarters, but these three people were not sent by Xiong Shihui, and the specific person who belongs is still under further investigation, and it is estimated that it will be clarified the day after tomorrow." ”

"The rice that is being unloaded is not affected, is it?" Zheng Yi asked.

Feng Jingzhai shook his head: "It's going well, it is estimated that it can be unloaded this evening, and the payment will be collected tomorrow." According to the news from your eldest brother, the price of rice in Wuhan has been rising, the flour is basically priceless, and the impact of the war is far more serious than we expected. ”

Zheng Yi immediately expressed his attitude: "Or stay in Shanghai to sell, with today's transaction price, we already have 25% of the profit, can not because of the high price in Wuhan to forget the original old customers, money is not enough, let others make more money for us is not harmful, if you want to do the business for a long time, do it steadily, you can't let people gossip, not to mention that we have sufficient supply, food will continue to be shipped back, speed up the turnover of funds is what we should do at present." ”

Feng Jingzhai grinned: "I listen to you, it will be easier for me to maintain the status quo, but you have to hurry up the arms business, I have received an order for 5,000 submachine guns and 500,000 rounds of ammunition, you have to bring me the goods as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Yi immediately agreed, thought about it, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you still want to do the business you discussed with Boss Du last time?" ”

Feng Jingzhai's eyes suddenly lit up: "What, you figured it out?" ”

Zheng Yi sighed: "Even if I don't do it, others will do it, in this case, why not make a good fortune and help Swire solve part of the arms inventory by the way...... I think my old man will also support it strongly. ”

Feng Jingzhai was so excited that his eyebrows fluttered: "As long as you are willing to do it, I will go to Xiao Du and Boss Huang tonight, and I can pay you two hundred oceans as a deposit tomorrow!" ”

"Good! Tomorrow I will convert the money into pounds or US dollars, transfer it to the special account I opened with HSBC, and the day after tomorrow Xiaofu and I will return to Hong Kong and deliver the goods to Shanghai and Haihai within a month. Zheng Yi made a decisive decision.

Feng Jingzhai was very happy: "Don't go anywhere tonight, stay and have a good drink, your eldest sister will come back later, during this time, she always complains that you don't help her share some of it, you have to explain it to her, haha!" You sit down first, I'll go upstairs and take down those two bottles of Louis XIII, and I'll have to celebrate tonight." ”

As soon as Feng Jingzhai left, Zheng Yi instructed the second uncle to go back to the company to clean up first, and then go to the front yard garden with Xu Maofu for a walk: "What instructions does Director Zhou have?" ”

"Director Zhou has not been in Shanghai for half a month, but he has only entrusted the liaison officer to bring a few words to praise us for a good job, and then the political commissar sent to us has already left for Hong Kong, but he has not contacted Dingbang, I don't know why it was delayed."

"Then Shangguan Yong has received a lot of arms orders, with a total amount of more than 600,000 yuan, including 12 75 artillery pieces and 50 Czech light machine guns, there are many varieties, but the purchase quantity is not much, he has already sent someone to Hong Kong to discuss with Dingbang, Dingbang hopes that you will go back to make a decision soon."

Xu Maofu reported in a low voice.

Zheng Yi nodded to show that he understood: "Is there any news from the base area?" ”

"We have not received any news yet, but the shoe factory jointly established by the Shangguan family and two wealthy businessmen in Putian, with the help of British technicians, has produced five kinds of rubber shoe samples, including a thick-soled canvas military shoes...... How? Missing the old army again? Xu Maofu asked.

Zheng Yi sighed faintly: "Don't miss it, I want to go back in my dreams!" ”

Xu Maofu smiled: "Then don't dream, if the organization is willing to let you go back, it will give you an order a long time ago, it is estimated that the organization is very satisfied with your performance in the past half a year, and will not let you go back to lead the troops to fight." ”

Zheng Yi felt helpless: "Don't say it, the more I talk about it, the more uncomfortable I feel, this time I go back and try to re-establish the radio team, you go to Shangguan Yong again, no matter what method you use, I have to learn more about the situation in the base area and the old army!" ”
