The scale of the Chiang-Gui War grew larger and larger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The flames of war gradually spread from the initial Jianghuai to the Lianghu region, and the armies of the two Guangxi provinces on the border of Guangdong and Guangxi also entered a state of tense military confrontation.

In April, millions of victims poured into the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

All the newspapers were talking about the news of the Chiang-Gui War and the gathering of displaced people from the north in Jiangnan, and the rich landlords and gentry from all over the Central Plains and the Lianghu region poured into the prosperous areas of Nanjing and Huhai with their families in order to escape the war, causing prices to rise in various parts of Jiangnan.

The Huhai Concession, which is regarded as a country within a country, has become a refuge for wealthy landlords and bourgeoisie from all over the country, and the price of real estate in the concession has risen at an astonishing rate under the impact of a large amount of capital, with an increase of more than 120 percent in just half a month.

"Big brother, the eldest young master called to ask if you want to get rid of it as soon as possible?" Xu Maofu took a telegram to the office on the second floor.

Zheng Yi, who was chatting with Feng Jingzhai, didn't raise his eyes: "Why are you in such a hurry?" You send him a telegram, it's just the beginning, and the best is yet to come......"

"If he sends another telegram urging him, simply ask him to transfer the dozen or so buildings in his hand to me and my brother-in-law, and we will give him 20 percent more on the current real estate price."

Xu Maofu laughed when he heard this, turned around and left the newly renovated luxury office, returned downstairs, and drafted a call back to Zheng Heng, who was stranded in Wuhan.

Feng Jingzhai, who was sitting next to Zheng Yi, shook his head again and again, unable to understand why Zheng Heng was in such a hurry.

Although the price of real estate in Shanghai has more than doubled, landlords and wealthy businessmen from all over the country are still pouring in, and now not to mention the real estate in the concession area, even the demand for real estate in Zhabei and the suburbs is particularly strong.

As long as the civil war does not stop for a day, the price of real estate in the Huhai Concession will not stop rising, I don't know why Zheng Heng, who is the first heir of the Zheng family, is so short-sighted.

Zheng Yi poured hot tea for Feng Jingzhai, and when he saw him shaking his head again and again, he couldn't help but be happy: "If you can't help it, it's better to sell me the dozen properties you are holding in your hand, I just received a million dollars a few days ago, and I am not short of money in my hand." ”

"You're thinking beautiful! I will never move before the end of the year, according to the current situation, there is no problem with quadrupling the price of real estate before the end of the year, don't you see that the three major French real estate developers are building a large number of new residential areas to make a fortune? As soon as the foundation was dug, countless people rushed to invest. Feng Jingzhai smiled proudly.

Zheng Yi took a sip of hot tea: "I have to go back to Hong Kong tomorrow, and I will not be able to come back for at least a month, and the company's business depends on you." ”

"Especially the two ships of rice that will come in five days, if they can be distributed at the wharf, it doesn't matter if the price is lower, the first transaction needs to give some preferential treatment to the two partners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, first do the quantity, build up the sales channel, and it will be easy to do in the future."

Feng Jingzhai agreed with Zheng Yi's opinion, but he didn't want him to go back to Hong Kong at this time: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" It's better to wait for the arrival of the grain ship, and get together with Uncle Yu and the Li family in Nanjing before leaving. ”

Zheng Yi said in a low voice: "I can't wait, I have to go back to prepare a batch of goods, the goods are in a hurry, and the profits are very considerable." ”

"What's that? It can't be arms, right? Feng Jingzhai asked hurriedly.

Zheng Yi did not hide it: "It is the arms and the equipment of the two divisions, the shipper is already waiting in Hong Kong, if it weren't for the fact that 20 of the 75 mountain guns and 100,000 shells are still on the way, I would have returned to Hong Kong to ship them." ”

Feng Jingzhai was envious: "You can make a lot of money again, who is the owner of the goods, can you tell me?" ”

Zheng Yi smiled: "It doesn't matter if you tell you, it's Huang Shaohong, the governor of Gui Province." ”

Feng Jingzhai was taken aback: "You're not afraid that Lao Jiang will be angry?" ”

"Why am I afraid he will be angry? If he buys arms from me, I will sell them to him, and besides, I will sell them to the Gui family in the name of the Dutch foreign firm, what can he do to me? If he hadn't broken the treaty and sent the Germans the order of two million arms that should have been given to me, I would not have agreed to sell the arms I had on hand to the Gui family. ”

Zheng Yi explained with annoyance.

Feng Jingzhai sighed: "Okay, you go back, I am here, don't worry, but 15,000 tons of flour will be shipped quickly, and now flour is much more profitable than rice." ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "I have already urged, but it will not arrive until the end of May at the earliest, and I will discuss with the two old men in Zhigongtang after I go back, to see if I can find a 10,000-ton freighter from the United States first, and transport the first batch of flour we ordered as soon as possible." ”

"If it works, it will be shipped to Shanghai early next month."

……

……

On the afternoon of April 6, Zheng Yi arrived in Hong Kong on the ship and immediately rushed to the Garden Hotel with his second uncle.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Garden Hotel, a capable man in a coffee-colored suit immediately took the initiative to report his name after seeing Zheng Yi: "Under Li Ruimin, he is Governor Huang's aide-de-camp, and Governor Huang is inconvenient to come down, so I implore General Zheng to come to the guest room." ”

"It's okay, you ask first." Zheng Yi replied politely.

The three of them took the elevator up to the third floor, and when they got out of the elevator, Zheng Yi saw the tall and smiling Huang Shaohong standing at the door of the luxury room at the end of the east corridor.

After a few pleasantries, Zheng Yi and Huang Shaohong entered the room together, and the two young plainclothes guards in the room quickly spread out and quickly served fragrant tea to Zheng Yi and the second uncle standing behind him.

Huang Shaohong glanced at the second uncle who walked to the side silently, smiled and said to Zheng Yi: "I have heard the name of General Zheng for a long time, and I was only contacted by telegram, but today I finally met the real person, haha!" ”

"Chief Huang is not disappointed, is he?" Zheng Yi made a joke.

Huang Shaohong laughed: "Meeting is far better than being famous!" A handsome man like General Zheng is unwilling to stand on Lao Jiang's side, which is really a great thing for my Gui family, haha! ”

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "Let's call me by my name, the little brother is no longer a soldier." ”

Huang Shaohong nodded briskly: "Okay!" Then I'm not welcome, I came here in a hurry, on the one hand, I need to meet with Mr. Wang Jingwei's representative, and on the other hand, I hope to meet you, and see when you, a rich man, can help me transport the weapons and equipment I ordered, so that I can rush back to Guizhou Province as soon as possible to make proper arrangements. ”

Zheng Yi didn't expect Huang Shaohong to be so relieved of himself, and he told the truth about the meeting with Wang Jingwei's representative, and after a little consideration, he asked Huang Shaohong's opinion:

"If my brother is in a hurry, I can first transport 20,000 Belgian rifles, 2,000 Model 1929 submachine guns, 500 9mm imitation Colt pistols and 5 million rounds of ammunition to the North Seaport."

"The other 20 British 75 mountain cannons and shells, I bought them from the British, and shipped them from India, and it is estimated that they have arrived in Sin Chew at this time, and it will take a week to arrive in Hong Kong."

Huang Shaohong was overjoyed: "Great! I'll be able to go to the bank and settle the balance later! ”

"I'm not busy, I'll invite you to have a drink tonight, it's on the sixth floor above, and by the way, I'll introduce you to a few Britons, and it is estimated that my father will also attend." Zheng Yi warmly invited.

Huang Shaohong was very happy: "Thank you, brother!" Tonight, get drunk! ”
