Feng Tiandong came to the Xinmin Association in a leisurely manner.

When I walked into Ma Tao's office, I saw him sitting there bored, playing with a southern fourteenth pistol in his hand.

"Director Ma, it's very leisurely." Feng Tiandong sat on the sofa and teased Ma Tao

"Oops! Brother, if you're injured, why do you dare to come out and hang out, but be careful! Ma Tao said with palpitations

Ma Tao is really afraid, when Zhang Yanqing was assassinated, he was next to him, and he saw a bodyguard die at his feet, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

"I can't do it if I don't come, the work of the Xinmin Association has not progressed, and the Japanese are a little dissatisfied." Feng Tiandong pulled the banner of the Japanese and scared Ma Tao, because he ate this.

He wants to mobilize Ma Tao's enthusiasm, without Ma Tao's full cooperation, his work below will not be easy to carry out, so he wants to give Ma Tao a feeling that if you don't do your job, the Japanese will not agree.

"What the Japanese say." Ma Tao asked cautiously, in the past few days, the Japanese adviser of the Xinmin Association, Miki Pingfu, has also been urging Ma Tao to do the work arranged by Zhang Yanqing last time.

"We started an intensive training course for Japanese teachers, but we proposed it ourselves, and Ishikawa Taijun also knew that he had asked about it several times, and if he didn't start again, he couldn't say anything."

"The last time President Zhang came to Guhuai, he put forward a lot of work requirements for the Guhuai Xinmin Association, so you can't be indifferent."

Feng Tiandong moved out Chairman Zhang and Ishikawa Ichiro, further put pressure on Ma Tao, and said leisurely.

"But this Gu Huai is so unsafe, and the person who assassinated President Zhang has no whereabouts, who knows when someone will attack me." Ma Tao was still scared.

"Brother Ma, you are actually too worried, the last time you assassinated President Zhang was the Beiping Station of the Military Command, they have long since fled, Guhuai is not their territory, we are safe." Feng Tiandong gave him a reassuring pill.

"Then you ......" Ma Tao obviously didn't believe it, Feng Tiandong's assassination scared him again.

"It was done by the hoe gang, it should have been an accident, otherwise I would still be alive. We're little people, and no one notices. Feng Tiandong said deliberately nonchalantly.

"That's good, that's good, I'm trying to avoid going out these days. I only visited my brother once, so don't blame me. Ma Tao stepped down, full of apologies, and said busily.

"We brothers don't have to say that, I understand. Let's sum up how to carry out the work, so I can report to Ishikawa Taikun. ”

"Brother, what do you say, I still don't have any money, and the money that President Zhang promised to give has not been fulfilled, and I am now a rice cooker." Ma Tao said with a bitter face, quite helpless.

"We can only find a way to solve the money ourselves, didn't we discuss a solution last time." Feng Tiandong talked about what they discussed last time.

"The way you said is to raise money for business?" Ma Tao asked.

"Yes, according to what we discussed last time, we have not only completed the task of purchasing materials for the Xinmin Association, but also solved the problem of funding. By the way, you can also make money. ”

Feng Tiandong said the purpose of his coming here, he must promote this matter, not only to solve the cloth problem this time, he also has other ideas.

"We have no one in the Xinmin Association to do business."

"People's problems are easy to solve, the Xinmin Association is a good signboard, you can find someone to do the specific work, and just share a part of the money" Feng Tiandong pointed out the advantages of the Xinmin Association.

"Liang Laoqi! You know him, he's working for the Japanese now, he's also worrying about money at the moment, you can work together. Feng Tiandong took advantage of the situation to lift out Liang Laoqi.

"Liang Laoqi, can they do it?" Ma Tao was a little skeptical of Liang Laoqi's ability, after all, he was just a gang leader, could he do business.

"No problem, they have an advantage, there are many people, they are obedient, and he also has capable people under him. You can set up a trading company in partnership, and Liang Laoqi will be in charge of running it, and the Xinmin Association can sit back and wait to collect the money. Feng Tiandong told Ma Tao about Liang Laoqi's situation, focusing on the advantages they had.

Feng Tiandong wanted to make every effort to promote the cooperation between the Xinmin Association and Liang Laoqi, which was another trade route he conceived in addition to the material channel of Jiro Yoshida.

Waiting for Ma Tao to digest his suggestion and see that he seemed to understand, Feng Tiandong said: "Another day, I will ask Liang Laoqi to sit with Brother Ma and Consultant Miki, and we will discuss it in detail." ”

Ma Tao listened carefully to Feng Tiandong's explanations and suggestions, and also felt that it was a strong alliance with Liang Laoqi, and made up his mind.

Ma Tao began to work hard and wrote out the work plan for the next stage.

With the plan written by Ma Tao, Feng Tiandong made a report to Ishikawa Ichiro, reporting on the various tasks that the Guhuai Xinmin Association was about to prepare.

"Is Liang Laoqi reliable?" Seeing that one of the plans was to cooperate with Liang Laoqi to establish a trading company, Ishikawa Ichiro asked. He didn't know Liang Laoqi's situation very well, and it wasn't him who contacted Liang Laoqi by the secret services.

"Reliable, I know him, he is also working for the Empire. Liang Laoqi has complained to me several times that he can't afford to support his subordinates, so he always wants them to make some money. Feng Tiandong explained, "I think as long as they serve the empire faithfully, I can give them some benefits." ”

"Roar! Then you are responsible for keeping this matter closed and reporting the progress at any time. Ishikawa Ichiro was satisfied with the Xinmin Association's initiative to carry out its work, and he was also very satisfied with Feng Tiandong's way of asking for instructions and reporting on everything.

The matter has an eyebrow, and the specific operation is about to begin, Feng Tiandong came to Liang Laoqi's courtyard, let Erliang guard at the door, and walked in alone.

The leaves of the big tree are almost gone, and they stand bare in the courtyard, giving people a feeling of depression.

In winter, Liang Laoqi can't stay in the yard and drink tea, and drinks tea while warming up in the house.

Feng Tiandong stood in the courtyard for a few seconds, feeling the cold wind of early winter, and then, calming down, slowly walked into the room, and as soon as he saw Liang Laoqi, he said directly: "The weather has gradually turned colder, and someone needs a lot of cloth." ”

Liang Laoqi motioned for Feng Tiandong to sit beside him, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"This is more difficult to do, cotton and cloth are basically controlled by the Japanese, it is difficult to buy, and there is no big yarn factory or dyeing factory in Guhuai, and the large amount of cloth needed is shipped from other places, which itself is relatively lacking." Liang Laoqi was a little embarrassed.

"Since Gu Huai lacks cloth, things will be easier to handle." Feng Tiandong said to Liang Laoqi with confidence, "I have thought of a way, and I need the cooperation of Uncle Seven." ”

Then, Feng Tiandong told Liang Laoqi about the establishment of a trading company in cooperation with the Xinmin Association.

"As long as the trading company is established, you can take advantage of your 'Seven Dragons' to buy a large amount of cotton, and as long as you have cotton in hand, the matter will be half the battle."

"What's the advantage of our gang?" Liang Laoqi asked puzzledly, he himself didn't know what advantages his "Seven Dragons Society" had in this regard.

"There are many people, the land is familiar, as long as we have the right to buy, we can buy cotton at a more reasonable price, in this way, it will be much easier than the Japanese forced purchase, I think even the price can be a little higher, cotton farmers are not easy."

"No matter how domineering the Japanese are, they can't stop the common people from wearing clothes, so that we can exchange cotton and yarn mills for some cloth."

Feng Tiandong kept explaining to Liang Laoqi.

Liang Laoqi hesitated: "Can there be a cloth merchant willing to cooperate?" ”

"Go to my future father-in-law and let Huaxing Yarn Factory cooperate with us." Feng Tiandong said categorically.

Subsequently, Feng Tiandong wrote a letter to his father-in-law, Cao Cunyue, in which he mentioned that he could help the yarn mill solve their urgent need for cotton, and hoped that he could come to Guhuai.

In order to save time, he asked Liang Laoqi to arrange for someone to go to Tianjin and hand over the letter directly to Cao Cunyue.

Then, Feng Tiandong took out 10 gold bars and handed them to Liang Laoqi, telling him in a low voice how to do it.
