The banquet was held in the internal restaurant next door to the small courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Less than five minutes before 6 p.m., Yu Feipeng arrived by car, and after meeting Zheng Yi, they went to the restaurant next door, and told Zheng Yi and Zhou Junyan as they walked that Principal Jiang and his wife were almost there.

Zheng Yi was quite surprised.

During this period, a series of dizzying events took place, the meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang Party, which had been held for three days, had not yet ended, and the list of 24 members of the new Central Political Conference had just been published, which aroused a lot of discussion among the major forces in the country.

Just yesterday, as soon as President Chiang issued a declaration on the peaceful reunification of the whole country, Li Delin led the Gui army into the territory of Guangdong Province, and immediately afterwards, the news came that the Northwest Army had blown up the Guangshui Iron Bridge...... Feng Huanzhang, the commander of the Northwest Army, who was getting farther and farther away from President Jiang, expressed his uncooperative attitude with practical actions.

Zheng Yi originally thought that he had just arrived, and it would be difficult for Principal Jiang to find time to meet such an insignificant marginal figure as him in three or five days, but he didn't expect that Principal Jiang not only moved down, but also brought his wife with him.

If Zheng Yi is really in the same camp as him, I am afraid that he will really be flattered and grateful.

After entering the elegant restaurant in the courtyard of the restaurant, Zheng Yi very consciously respectfully invited the two elders to sit down first, and then walked to the position with his back to the door of the restaurant.

Just when Zheng Yi was deeply uneasy, Kong Xiangxi came with a smile under the respectful guidance of the officials of the guest house.

Zheng Yi immediately stood up and greeted politely, and before he stopped speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

The two attendants of the first phase of Whampoa came to the door, saluted inward, looked at Zheng Yi in surprise, and immediately retreated, standing silently around the door.

"The headmaster is almost here, let's get up and greet you."

Zhou Junyan stood up immediately after speaking, Zheng Yi and everyone hurriedly stood up and followed, and as soon as they came to the door, they saw Principal Jiang wearing a silver-gray robe and a wide-brimmed top hat and his wife wearing a white tweed coat coming hand in hand.

Zhou Junyan, Kong Xiangxi and others bowed slightly, and Zheng Yi subconsciously buttoned his suit and bowed.

Principal Jiang and his wife quickly came to everyone and nodded slightly to several of their henchmen. Principal Jiang took half a step forward, held Zheng Yi's hands cordially, and looked at Zheng Yi carefully for a while before he smiled and said, "You have changed a lot, you are more mature and tough!" ”

"Thank you for your care!"

Zheng Yi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, greeted Mrs. Jiang politely under the smiling gaze of everyone, greeted Mrs. Jiang for a while, and thanked him on behalf of his father and the entire Zheng family, before he and everyone hugged Principal Jiang and his wife into the house, and insisted that Principal Jiang and his wife sit down with everyone, Zheng Yi carefully sat on the lower left of Principal Jiang.

A variety of exquisite dishes began to be served one after another.

Kong Xiangxi took advantage of the time to serve the food to briefly visit President Jiang for a trip to the sea and the sea, and President Jiang only nodded slightly after listening, then turned to Zheng Yi and asked with concern: "It's much easier to do business than to join the army, right?" ”

Zheng Yi, who didn't want to be too restrained, replied casually: "Actually, it's not easy at all, and it also requires all kinds of calculations." ”

Principal Jiang was slightly stunned, then laughed, and everyone laughed too, but Mrs. Jiang was still looking at Zheng Yi who shook her head and smiled bitterly in surprise, as if she was very surprised by Zheng Yi's answer.

After laughing, Principal Jiang said with emotion: "As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and it seems that you have understood the essence of it, which is very good!" ”

Kong Xiangxi smiled and quipped: "Xiao Zheng's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and even I have to look at his face." ”

"Thanks to Minister Kong and the seniors for taking care of them, the juniors are extremely grateful." In the face of Kong Xiangxi's mixed words, Zheng Yi had to correct his attitude.

Seeing that President Jiang was quite interested, Zhou Junyan immediately relieved Zheng Yi's predicament:

At the end of last month, more than 8,000 tons of rice he transported from Nanyang to Huhai were snapped up before the customs declaration was completed, and after more than half a month, tens of thousands of tons of high-quality flour from the United States were shipped back, and I heard that it had been divided up by several large households in Shanghai.

Principal Jiang was stunned, and Madame Jiang's face was full of surprise.

Zheng Yi hurriedly explained: "The main reason is that the price is low, followed by several business seniors in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huaibei who take care of me, the junior......"

"I'm afraid the next business is not so good, although the domestic grain market gap is not small, but the people's purchasing power is getting lower and lower, if it can't be sold in time, the capital will not be able to turnover, if you encounter a little risk, maybe you will lose money."

"Xiao Zheng is modest, you have a deep foundation can be described as unique, famous Chinese businessmen from all over Nanyang have friendships with your family, you also have your own ocean shipping company, just these two superior conditions, can leave the vast majority of rich businessmen far behind, enviable!"

Kong Xiangxi's words once again attracted the attention of President Jiang and his wife.

Zheng Yi already felt irritable in his heart, but he still maintained a polite smile on his face: "Minister Kong's eyes are like a torch, and the junior's little advantage can't be hidden, I implore Minister Kong to take care of it in the future!" ”

Kong Xiangxi laughed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, take care of each other, haha!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the dishes were ready, the steaming aroma filled the entire space, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Principal Jiang made an exception and asked the attendant to pour himself a small half glass of rice wine, raised the glass, and said cordially, "No outsiders, no need to be restrained", motioned to Zheng Yi, who stood up respectfully, to sit down, and gently touched the glass with Zheng Yi, and took a sip.

Zheng Yi drank it all, stood up again to express his gratitude, nodded with a smile to Yu Jishi, the attendant who filled a glass for himself, and toasted to the smiling Mrs. Jiang, and then toasted Kong Xiangxi, Zhou Junyan and Yu Feipeng one by one, and drank five glasses before sitting down respectfully, which immediately attracted bursts of happy applause.

The atmosphere that followed became much more enthusiastic, and they talked with each other casually and quite harmoniously, but all the topics did not involve the current situation, and the most talked about was the advanced science and technology and weapons and equipment of various countries in the world.

Zheng Yi could see that this was the topic that Lao Jiang was most interested in, and it was also the topic that Yu Feipeng wanted Zheng Yi to play, so he did not conceal what he knew about the advanced technology and weapons and equipment of the military industry of various countries, including several tanks currently under development in Germany, Britain, France, and Russia, and the latest all-metal monoplane fighter plane in France.

Principal Jiang listened very carefully, and asked a few questions from time to time, and after listening, he asked quite seriously: "Xiao Zheng, I heard that your Far East Machinery Manufacturing Company is developing a new type of heavy machine gun, which does not need to be cooled by a water cylinder, and can replace the barrel, which is more powerful than the Makqin heavy machine gun, but the weight is nearly twice as light as the Makqin heavy machine gun, isn't it?" ”

Zheng Yi replied truthfully: "This news is the ...... I instructed the two senior technicians who went to the Jinling factory to help convey to Deputy Manager Chen."

"This air-cooled heavy machine gun is actually an imitation of the American Browning M1921 heavy machine gun, the difference is that the Browning M1921 heavy machine gun has a caliber of 12.7 mm and fires a bullet of 12.7 * 99 mm bullets, and we have developed a heavy machine gun that fires 7.92 mm German wool rifle bullets, and the weight of the whole gun is indeed greatly reduced, and a soldier can carry it."

"At present, samples of the gun have been produced, and it is estimated that it will take about three months of live ammunition testing, and then further improvement and optimization before it can be finalized and put into production."

Principal Jiang nodded frequently: "Can you transfer this extremely advanced heavy machine gun production technology to us?" ”

Under the watchful gaze of everyone, Zheng Yi could only nod briskly, and then made a surprising request.
