Chapter 81: The Discussion of Opium
The people who knocked down a place here, can the movement be small? Huang Guojin finally heard the movement and ran out, this guy had a Japanese war knife in his hand. The sound of the devil calling underground was particularly loud, and Huang Guojin kicked the devil's head twice when he walked by, and the devil underground immediately quieted down.
"Commander-in-chief, why did you fight?" Huang Guojin asked as he seemed puzzled as he ran, and kicked another kid in the head who was struggling to get up, knocking the person unconscious.
"Nonsense! Aren't you worried that if you have an accident, I'll fight them? What are you doing? Why don't you go out as soon as you come in, and you don't even say hello? Ren Laifeng found a sofa and sat there, crossed Erlang's legs and asked Huang Guojin. Xiao Kuaishou and the others have already begun to clean up the battlefield and check the money and belongings of the captives.
"Ahem, you don't know, the manager of this foreign company is talking to me about a deal. This guy wants me to join his chamber of commerce and help him sell tobacco. I'm getting the way from him, and you're fighting on your side. The manager of the foreign bank wanted to take it out to support, so I put him down before coming over. You see, this knife is also the manager's. ”
Huang Guojin raised the Oriental knife in his hand and proudly announced that the knife was his trophy.
"The manager of the foreign bank is discussing selling opium with you?" Ren Laifeng's face changed at that time, and his heart was full of indescribable hatred for opium. During the Manchu Dynasty, the British East India Company plundered a large amount of real money and silver in China through the opium trade, which caused the national strength of Greater China to weaken day by day, and finally even Little Japan called us the sick man of East Asia.
After coming to this world, Ren Laifeng has always fought on the battlefield full of artillery fire, although he has also heard that some local troops are addicted to tobacco and soil, but he has never met it himself. In the past, no one in the Flying Tiger Battalion smoked tobacco, and the current guerrillas have never heard of anyone addicted to opium.
Today, when he really felt that it was possible to come into contact with opium, the anger in his heart was understandable. However, now Ren Laifeng has learned to control his emotions, although he is very angry in his heart, he does not bring much out of his face, just a little indifferent in his attitude.
"Yes. I said that I was a Japanese who had been in China for many years, and I wanted to find some business to do, but the manager believed me. He told me that selling tobacco is the most profitable now, and he wants me to help him open up the sales of tobacco through his network. I'm trying to ask him where all the tobacco is stored, and you're fighting outside. ”
"Well, good! It's a good idea to find a place to store the smoke! Ren Laifeng was quite satisfied with Huang Guojin's wit. If we can find a place where the foreign company stores the tobacco and soil, and then find the source of those evils that harm people and burn them on fire, wouldn't it be a great harm to the country and the people?
"But it's okay, I just knocked the manager unconscious, didn't kill him. We can torture him now, as long as we can get those cigarettes, hehe, it's like picking up gold! ”
"What do you say? After you get the tobacco, do you want to sell it for money? Ren Laifeng's voice suddenly became louder, and two cold lights radiated from his eyes!
"Ah, can't you sell it? Commander-in-chief, that's all money! You, you don't want to learn from Lin Zexu and burn it, do you? Huang Guojin's eyes also widened, and he was anxious.
"Humph! Do you still want to continue to sell those things that have brought disaster to the people of our country? Let's continue to be the sick man of East Asia? The last four words were squeezed out from between his teeth, and after he finished speaking, Ren Laifeng's hands were already clenched into fists, and his face was blue.
Huang Guojin's face turned white, and he already felt Ren Laifeng's anger. Feng Wenying quietly moved two steps to this side, but just two steps away, Huang Guojin suddenly found himself as if he was under the gaze of a tiger! Huang Guojin's legs were weak. He also knew that he had to say something now, something that could impress Ren Laifeng and save himself!
"Well, Commander-in-Chief. I have never heard of the term sick man of East Asia. The term "sick man of East Asia" appeared a few times in the newspapers, and then in movies decades later. How is it possible for someone like Huang Guojin, who never reads a newspaper, to know such a profound term as the sick man of East Asia?
"Commander-in-chief? I know you don't want to sell opium to the Chinese, and I don't think so. If we sell opium and get a group of big smokers, wouldn't we be missing eight lifetimes of virtue? I've been with you for so many years, and I don't have this consciousness anymore, right? Don't worry, I never thought of selling opium to our country, and I didn't sell it for any amount of money! ”
Ren Laifeng's face softened a little, "Then you say, who will you sell to if you don't sell to our country?" Could it be that you can still sell to the Japanese? ”
"That's not for sure. As long as the Japanese are willing to buy it, we dare to sell it! In addition to the Japanese, we can also sell polar bears! Have you forgotten where we are? Our Qinggang County is in Binjiang Province, and not far north is Heilongjiang. After Heilongjiang, you will be in the territory of polar bears, and it will be okay to sell them to them, right? ”
Polar bear? It wasn't until Huang Guojin talked about Heilongjiang that Ren Laifeng understood that he was talking about Soviet Russia in the north. Selling opium to the north? It may not sound very kind, but it's better than burning something, right?
In these days, opium is equal to money, and burning opium is burning money! Ren Laifeng will definitely not agree to sell to the Chinese, but if he engages in export trade, he can earn foreign exchange and digest drugs at the same time, which seems to be a good way.
Of course, this kind of thing is not decided all at once, at least it has to wait for the opium to arrive. Who knows if the devil has a spot in his hand, in case this guy is also a second-way dealer who buys and sells short, and he doesn't have two taels of stock in his hand, and now they discuss how to sell it without a joke?
The opium thing can be talked about later, this room full of people can't let them lie like this all the time, right? Ren Laifeng took the lead, and in the past, he called up all the people underground one by one, and asked them to gather in the big house by themselves. The large rooms in the foreign company are nothing more than a dining room, a meeting room, and a conference room. The dining room was on the first floor, and Ren Laifeng asked all the captives to stay in the dining room.
There are a lot of people, and those with leg and foot injuries and mobility have to be carried by people, and this side is moving to the restaurant, and the foreign bank is here again.
Coming in from the outside were two people, a man and a woman. The woman wore a Japanese kimono, and the man wore a crisp suit. It's two Japanese! As soon as these two people entered, they saw the mess in the room, and they were immediately startled. The woman hid back, the man protected the woman with one hand, and pointed to the chaotic crowd in the hall and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
