Chapter 23 Establishment of a political party, the Restoration Party
"Well, Wen Kai, I can agree with you, I suppose that in no more than a year, the Japanese consul and the British consul will inquire about your movements, and then you will send them this set of arguments." Wilton's standing up meant the end of the conversation.
When Hu Wenkai stood up to send Wilton out of the conference room, he was pulled by Adele.
"Hu Wenkai, where's my plane? You don't know how to speak. "Facing Adele's questioning. Wilton smiled and walked away.
Adele closed the door of the conference room, hugged Hu Wenkai tightly and kissed him on the lips.
"You're gone for three months, and you're going to kill me."
"Adele, are you crazy? Your father is here. ”
"You're crazy, doesn't he know about us?" Adele said nonchalantly.
"Your cheap father-in-law is gone, and I am given carte blanche to talk to you about specific cooperation steps." Adele sat down and looked at him affectionately.
"Adele, how can you say that."
"He said it himself, not me." Adele said aggrievedly.
According to Adele's wishes, Hu Wenkai first set out to establish Far Eastern University, and Wilton was responsible for recruiting teachers for him in France, and Hu Wenkai had to pay Adele an additional $300 for each teacher to teach at Far Eastern University for one year. The seized German weapons were sold to Hu Wenkai at the price of scrap steel, but he paid an additional 20% rebate to Adele.
Wilton will use every possible means to help Hu Wenkai's development and act as a bridge between Hu Wenkai and the French government.
"Dear Adele, what else can I say that Mr. Wilton gave away his precious daughter, I agree to the above two conditions, and I need to supplement the teachers that the university needs, I only need science and engineering, and the weapons must be new and unused, except for warships, of course."
"Well, I'll remind my father, you go and lock the door." Adele blushed and whispered.
"Adele, I seriously protest, every time you preemptively seduce me." As he spoke, he slammed the door of the conference room behind his back.
Adele spread her hair and hugged him from behind. Touching his head and muttering, "Fate can't do without you, you know I've been thinking about you every day for the past few months." I can't even understand how I fell in love with you little man. ”
Hair hung over his face, and Adele's closed eyes and flushed face looked like blood was ready to gush out.
Adele's body was soft like a gluten in his arms, and Hu Wenkai hugged her and sat down on the chair. grabbed Adele's teacup on the table just now and poured two sips, leaned over and said in her ear: "It's good to be a cheap father-in-law, and there is a business attached to giving away your daughter." ”
"Hu Wenkai, you are a bastard, how can you say this about me." The head arched in his arms.
There was a quarrel outside the door, and a Russian non-commissioned officer said loudly: "Manager Yi, you can't go in, the boss is talking about things." ”
"Bykov, you kid is overdoing it. I'm looking for a boss. Lao Yi's voice was a little unhappy.
"Manager Yi, the boss is talking about things now, you can't go in, you wait here for a while."
"What did the boss tell you?"
"No, but it's my duty, guarding the building, and everything is based on the safety of the boss." This Bykov is deeply worthy of Hu Wenkai.
"You go and report it, and say I'm looking for the boss." Lao Yi didn't understand how to reply, but he still obeyed Bykov.
"Let Lao Yi come in, I was just looking for him." Hu Wenkai opened the safety tether inside.
Lao Yi pushed open the door and cursed in his mouth: "Bykov, you don't want to live anymore, ah!" Boss, sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
Lao Yi felt remorse when he saw Hu Wenkai and Adele alone in the conference room, why didn't he think of this stubble, why didn't Bykov, the little bastard, give a hint.
"What's sorry, you hurry up and do something that really wants to find you." Hu Wenkai was busy making tea for Adele.
"What's the matter with the boss?"
"You contact Adele on a single line, and the German trophy and warships captured by France are ready to be sold to us, and the money will be handed over to Adele by you, and the payment will be 20% higher than the scrap steel."
Lao Yi looked at Adele in surprise.
"Ivanov, what's wrong with you? Don't believe me? Adele immediately became upset.
Lao Yi became very flattering: "How can it, Miss Adele." I just thought it was too good to express my joy. ”
"Lao Yi, you are not outside to greet guests, why do you want to come up to me?"
"It's time to start the table, and the guests are already seated, waiting for you and Miss Adele."
"Oh, I forgot the time when I discussed the details of the operation with Adele, Lao Yi can't help it, that Bykov will follow me to Haimen in the future." Hu Wenkai was a little ashamed.
Lao Yi glanced at him obliquely, thinking that this pair of adulterers* behaved quite naturally. Said to Bykov: "After this shift, you will clean up and follow the boss later." ”
"Yes! Manager Yi. Bykov saluted with pleasure.
"A sycophant." Lao Yi whispered angrily.
Adele remembered and said, "Where is Hu Wenkai's plane?" ”
"Wait for a while when the airfield is repaired, and I'll teach you how to fly a plane." Hu Wenkai thought of Carrota at this time, afraid that she would find herself.
Carrotta sat down on the guest of honor and beckoned to him, and the banquet officially began with Hu Wenkai's seating. Carrotta said to Hu Wenkai that Chong Meijuan had moved her luggage to her residence and was going to go to Tianfen with Jiang Qiuming early tomorrow morning, and helped her buy a coat and a gold bracelet in the department store.
The wedding banquet is all people with heads and faces, and appearance is etiquette, and no one will make a fuss on this occasion. The wedding banquet was very successful, at least Lao Yi and Wang Xihai's family felt that Hu Wenkai felt it when Lao Yi and Wang Xiwen's family sent them to the car.
Old Yila said to Wang Xiwen: "Without the boss, there would be no me Ivanov Today, Xiwen is the godfather of our children." ”
Wang Xiwen's face was like a red cloth, and she couldn't stop nodding.
Carrotta stood next to him and said, "Old Yi, I think you are deliberately trying to make me angry." ”
"Boss, you must be my child's godmother." Lao Yi knew that something was wrong there, and immediately remedied it.
"Hmph, you react quickly, Xiwen, don't pay attention to Lao Yi, this unobstructed guy." Carrotta said as she took the diamond necklace from her bag and handed it over.
"This is my wedding gift from Wen Kai and you."
Wang Xiwen looked at Lao Yi's reaction, Lao Yi took it and shouted Don't be in vain, the boss doesn't have a reason if he doesn't bleed, I really hate it, just give me a broken car and give you a diamond necklace.
Hu Wenkai started the car and left with Carrota smiling.
"This old Yi probably always thought that the gift you gave was a car."
"It shouldn't be that he is a monkey spirit now, and he should have thought that we would not give such a small gift. Are you going back to the diocese tonight? ”
"Well, Chong Meijuan will stay with me tonight, you can stay at home alone, I'll go to the house to take a shower first and then take a quilt to the dormitory."
After sending off Carrotta in the evening, I was busy all night in the study, and the match factory, candle factory, pencil factory, and pen factory drew simple drawings on a piece of paper, and now there is no need to draw so detailed, and the general structure drawing is taken out and then processed by technicians.
Yawning for a long time, he packed up the drawings and fell asleep on the bed, and the factory conference room on Yatian South Road at this time was brightly lit in the afternoon where Hu Wenkai had just fought. Dozens of backbone workers, including Yang Siliang, Jiang Qiuming, and Dai Jitao, adopted the constitution of the China Rejuvenation and Progressive Party. The post of chairman was vacant, and Chen Yongcheng, Yang Siliang, Jiang Qiuming, Wu Hongxia, and Li Congshan were elected as executive members and the highest body.
Everyone wrote an oath to join the party: to be ready to sacrifice everything for the reunification and rejuvenation of China.
Yang Siliang read out the first document of the Fujin Party, establishing a political power and armed forces in Haimen and Nantong counties with mainly Fujin Party members, and recruiting educated and aspiring young people to join the party and sending them to Tianfen to train talents for the future regime.
In Shanghai, the Fujin Daily was established as the propaganda mouthpiece of the Fujin Party to propagate the party's ideology, line, and principles.
In late March, the opening ceremony of the railway from Nantong to Tianxing Town was huge, and a delegation of more than 200 people headed by Wang Shan of the Jiangsu Provincial Government came to Nantong County early.
Under the strong pressure of Wang Changrong and Jiang Qiuming, the double taxation of all road cards and commodities in Nantong was removed, and a series of policies to encourage the circulation of commodities and support the manufacturing industry were implemented, and small workshops in Nantong sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The surrounding commodities were distributed to Nantong, and the trading of cloth, iron pots, rice, and farm tools formed a fixed trading wholesale market in the west of the city.
Every day, businessmen from surrounding counties and cities come to buy goods by boat, and Jiang Qiuming exempts all taxes from the market for two years, and sets up a fair market to provide measurement, quality, and voucher services for the transaction free of charge. There are two short catties listed on their shops for warnings, and three violations are kicked out of the market.
Wang Shan randomly grabbed a businessman to talk, this businessman is from Zaozhuang, Shandong Province to buy farm tools and iron pots, the farm tools here are of good quality, the price is low, and there is no tax, and a trip can make a lot of money.
Jiang Qiuming explained that because the raw materials are made of Tianfen's steel, the quality of agricultural tools is better than that of small factories, and the price of raw materials is lower than that of small factories, so farm tools are about 15% lower than the market price.
There are already forty or fifty large and small farm tool workshops around Nantong County after the beginning of the year, and farm tools such as sickles, shovels, pears, and pickaxes sell well all over the country.
The increase in merchants has led to the prosperity of surrounding hotels and hostels, and newly opened hotels and hostels are attracting customers.
A few kilometers outside Nantong, dozens of large warehouses are under construction, and Wang Shan and his party listened to Wang Changrong's introduction. After the completion of the warehouse, the warehouse here will have a storage scale of 250,000 tons of rice and wheat, which will play a decisive role in the grain prices of the whole of Jiangsu.
The storage conditions of the warehouse are the best in the world today, and the paddy can be stored for more than three years. The rice and flour processing plant next to the warehouse is also in full swing, with an annual processing capacity of 200,000 tons, and the full set of equipment is designed and manufactured by the Tianfen factory. In May, we can start processing rice, and then Nanjing can eat our Fukang brand rice.
Wang Shan and his entourage were stunned after hearing this, this Hu Wenkai is really generous. If this is done well, the grain prices of the whole Jiangsu will be stabilized at a reasonable level, which is definitely a great good thing for Jiangsu Province.
Wang Changrong proudly said that our county has learned the methods of Haimen County, and is encouraging villagers to raise one pig and ten chickens per household plus plant two fruit trees.
"Haimen has already implemented this plan?" Wang Shan asked.
"The pigs in Tianfen Township have been slaughtered, and they are supplied to the Shanghai market in batches, and I heard that the benefits are good. Their fruit trees have been planted, and the piglets have been claimed by the villagers. ”
"Hu Wenkai's work is incomparable to you, the layout is reasonable, not in a hurry, only for stability, and the atmosphere is beautiful." Wang Shan praised Hu Wenkai with all the words she could find.
Wang Shan, who was happy, said loudly: "Wait and listen, it's not that I favor Hu Wenkai, if you can have half of his level, I will give you double praise." ”
Everyone didn't feel good in their hearts, but they still admired Hu Wenkai very much, knowing that although Wang Changrong was the governor of Nantong County, Hu Wenkai was still behind the scenes, and this was a big deal, which they had never seen before and did not dare to think of.
At this time, Hu Wenkai was busy with the rectification of 1,500 recruits, Xu Fusheng was appointed as the director of the recruit camp, and led the recruit practice queue in advance, and trained three kilometers of cross-country physical fitness every day.
I didn't expect that it was easy to recruit more than 1,000 literate recruits in China, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was conscripted by Dong Qilong for a bite to eat, and if he didn't become a soldier, he had to starve to death or become a bandit. Families with the slightest idea would rather let their children become soldiers than let their children starve to death or take risks to become bandits.
When he went to Dong Qilong's military scene, he directly gave his parents five yuan, but he had to recognize the more than 100 words posted on the wall. The body should also be examined, and those with flat feet should not be allowed to have defects. It was under such harsh conditions that Dong Qilong's recruitment site was surrounded every day, and in just a few days, he recruited eight or nine hundred people in more than a dozen counties in Shandong and several hundred in Anhui and Jiangsu.
Although the recruits entered the barracks, although there were many rules, they had good food and clothes for every meal, and the most happy thing for the young men was that there were still cultural classes. After all the people were mixed, ten people were in one squad, three squads were one platoon, three platoons were one company, four companies were one battalion, and three battalions were one regiment.
There are only 150 classes, 150 dormitories, and 10 training grounds for recruit training. Three outstanding backbone members of the militia were selected to train the recruits in accordance with the training program compiled by Hu Wenkai.
The entire Fujin Party regarded this recruit training as a matter of top priority, and many middle-level cadres such as Dai Jitao, Yang Siliang, and Chen Yongcheng made a special trip to take time out to attend a class in the barracks. More than 30 members of the Re-progressive Party abandoned their pens and joined the barracks for training.
Hu Wenkai concurrently served as the head of the regiment, and after supervising the training of the team members at the Longwang Temple every day, he drove dozens of kilometers to the barracks to inspect the drills. The Tianfen base, Haimen County, Longwangmiao training base, and military camp are several places where Hu Wenkai rotates in succession. Chen Jiaxiang knew that he was busy with the whole army, and he would make decisions for him, and the big things would be solved when Hu Wenkai was free.
