"There are still a few empty houses, if the three brothers don't dislike it, then let's stay." The middle-aged man smiled, and he was also curious, why did all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods appear all of a sudden.

"Then thank you, fellow." The three of them, it was Zhang San and Meng Youqian who Qin Yang carried, they were ordered to sell medicines to the Eighth Road and the Jin Suijun, of course, in fact, as long as they went back to the Jin Suijun and found Di Feng who came behind them, a telegram, it was also resolved, so when they arrived in this village, they really passed by.

"Come in first."

"Thank you."

……

Chen Xiu sent people out to contact him on the one hand, and on the other side, he was constantly greeting the Japanese officers.

Taiyuan wants to build a custom street, and there will be no shortage of all kinds of Japanese expatriates. However, Taiyuan was originally a city that was inclined to the interior, and the number of expatriates was naturally not as good as that of the three eastern provinces and other places, but it was also one of the ancient capitals, and it was a big city in the northwest. As soon as the news of the Japanese army was released, all kinds of businessmen began to move, and it was not only the Japanese who were active, but also the Chinese. Merchants make money when they hear about it, even if it is in the hands of the Japanese, they have to move.

So, in a few days, Chen Xiu not only got to know some Japanese expatriate businessmen, but also some Chinese businessmen, with a traitorous face.

Of course, this does not mean that they are all traitors.

There is no way for them to change the general situation, but the family always has to live, and they have to live here temporarily.

The first investment invitation in Taiyuan was very good, and the first army posted a notice to publicize the location of this custom street and the minimum price that merchants need to pay to win one of the lands, after all, each place is different.

Chen Xiu naturally got the news, and sighed, business, it's really rich that can make ghosts grind! Neither the Japanese nor the Chinese can escape the word money. Driven by interests, work efficiency is much faster.

……

"Hahaha, Baiwujun, this time I really thank you for your previous method!" Sato Shin laughed, this idea, he told their wing commander, and their wing captain told the chief of staff, and then began this operation, vigorously.

"You're welcome, I'm going to thank Sato-kun!" Chen Xiu naturally shirked it, only in this way could he safely hide behind the scenes, otherwise, if there were few Japanese shops in Taiyuan, he would be recognized at once. "However, the situation is really a bit big now, and there are too many people to compete."

"Please rest assured, this street, as long as it is favored by Baiwujun, as long as Baiwujun can afford to pay, I will help Baiwujun stay." Sato Shin spoke, "This is also what His Excellency our Wing Captain said, after all, there is an old Chinese saying, drink water and don't forget to dig wells, no matter what, this method was thought up by Bai Wujun." ”

"Really?" Chen Xiu was a little surprised, "If that's the case, I'll start mobilizing funds immediately!" I want three of the best shops on this street! ”

"Three?" Sato Shin opened his mouth, "Baiwu-kun, a store location is not cheap. ”

"Haha, Sato-kun, I'm planning to open a restaurant so that warriors can enjoy authentic imperial food! One to open a teahouse! Let the generals who like to drink tea have a place to speak! Then, open another bar! Chen Xiu smiled, "At night, there is a place where the warriors can drink and have fun!" ”

"Bar?" Naturally, Sato Shin doesn't know what a bar is.

"A bar is a kind of restaurant where peers gather to drink, and at the same time, there will be a band ready to sing and dance, and there will be many different kinds of wine to drink." Chen Xiu smiled, he is actually one of the bar lovers, after all, who hasn't relaxed when he was young, and once he drinks, then, the conversation box can be opened, what secrets are not secrets, military intelligence is not military intelligence, "This culture originated from cowboys in the American West, in short, it is very interesting." ”

"I see." Sato Shin still has some expectations, man, how many people don't like to drink?

Then, Chen Xiu took out two more envelopes, "Sato-kun, here, this envelope is for you, please run around recently." As for this, it is a little bit of heart for your Wing Commander, and in the future, I will have to take care of my business more from you! ”

"Hahaha, you're welcome." Sato Shin took it with a smile, since this incident, they also have a chance to touch the oil and water, so many businessmen, if they want to get news, they have to buy it from them. And Chen Xiu is obviously their guest of honor now. These news, for Chen Xiu, they will not be stingy. What's more, Baiwu's surname is very interesting, maybe it is the family of a certain general.

Three days later, in an office, there were more than 30 middle-aged people dressed in different clothes, some in suits and some in Tang costumes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the qualification auction of the shops on Huangmin Street." A large Zuo stood in the first place, facing the dozens of people below.

Later, a soldier pasted a table-sized drawing on the wall, which marked the location of the shops on Queen's Street.

Chen Xiu took a look, counting the entire street on both sides, there are a total of 30 shops, he asked for three, and the largest place is reserved for an imperial school, then, there are more than 20 shops left, and the people who came here today, but there are more than 30 people, there must be people who are not enough.

On the map, the locations of three shops are circled, and a large piece of land is circled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on this map, the position of the circle indicates that it is already a master." The Japanese army Osa spoke, "Therefore, you can only compete for the positions of some other remaining shops, the auction is completed today, and tomorrow you will pay the money, and the day after tomorrow, our Imperial Japanese Army will begin to recruit strong laborers to rectify this street." ”

Everyone nodded, the appearance of such a street will become a new landmark in Taiyuan.

Chen Xiu didn't think so, this was just a preparation he made in order to obtain accurate information, as for these buildings, they could be kept as historical evidence in the future, so that future generations would not forget.

"Okay, let's start now, bid for the No. 4 position, low price, 30,000 yen." The Japanese army Dazuo picked up a small wooden stick and pointed to the location of the No. 4 store in the plan, and the No. 3 in front of it was all booked in advance by Chen Xiu. This point, even if everyone knows it, there is no way, after all, there is an official background, and this proposal of Huangmin Street was put forward by Chen Xiu, so he simply sold Chen Xiu's favor, but he didn't expect Chen Xiu to ask for three shops.

Soon, there was a sign raised, "30,000." ”

"Thirty-five thousand!"

"Forty thousand!"

……

Two hours later, the Japanese army Dazuo smiled, and at an auction, more than 3 million yen was auctioned, which is a lot of money.
