Lao Yi pushed open the door, and it was a habit for this guy to never knock on the door.

"Boss, it's not early, everyone is going to the hotel, you guys hurry up and finish."

"Where is the hotel? It's over on my end. ”

"The old place Lu Restaurant, Wang Xiuguo, they chartered the Lu Restaurant."

Hu Wenkai stood up, stretched and said, "Let's go, drink less wine at noon." ”

Lu restaurant has not been here for a long time, there are four tables in the hall on the first floor, the boss saw the God of Wealth Hu Wenkai walk in, and came over with a compliment: "General Hu came to our store, and the store is shining." ”

"Hehe, don't be so polite, it's just that the multiple titles are still the same as before."

Hu Wenkai felt sad in his heart, the leisurely and unobtrusive days were gradually moving away from him, did he really need makeup in the future.

Hu Wenkai took the initiative to sit at the table of the Chamber of Commerce, and he wanted to understand the true thoughts of these Chamber of Commerce. He sat at this table, and the atmosphere was a little duller, except for Wang Xiuguo, who could let go of the conversation, and the rest of the people were cautiously greeting.

Hu Wenkai asked: "Everyone, I have a question, how is the business of your chamber of commerce going to Chongqing through the Yangtze River?" After all, I am still the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River garrison. ”

One of them said: "Boss, it's fine to go from Shanghai to Wuhan, but it's not good after Wuhan." ”

"Why can't it work, you tell me in detail."

The man looked at Wang Xiuguo and hesitated a little, and Wang Xiuguo had to take over.

"Boss, we are afraid of making trouble for you, so we didn't say, after Wuhan to Jingzhou, we will start to collect goods across the river tax, according to one-tenth of the total value of the goods, after Yichang also have to add ship tax and navigation tax, if you go ashore in Chongqing, you need to pay a poll tax, if a shipload of goods from Shanghai to Chongqing needs to pay an additional half of the value of the tax, if it is Yichang, you have to pay 30% more tax, Jingzhou needs to pay 10% more."

Hu Wenkai's heart was on fire: "Zhang Hongfang, come here." ”

"Boss, what's the matter?" Zhang Hongfang walked over with a flushed face.

"How much extra tax do you pay for your goods in Chongqing?"

"Well, we began to collect 30% of us, and then after you were promoted to general, we negotiated with the other party, saying that this Yangtze River waterway was managed by our boss, and finally reached an additional 10% tax." Zhang Hongfang replied cautiously, and glanced at Wang Xiuguo a little uneasily.

Hu Wenkai sneered: "I blame me for this matter, I didn't ask you, I should be able to solve this problem within a month." Taxes on my territory have not yet informed me, this is very fat. ”

"Where else is there to charge us excise tax? You all speak up and settle it together. ”

"There's nothing else, and we're probably able to afford an extra 5% tax." Wang Xiuguo didn't dare to say more.

"Zhang Hongfang, you go to Nanjing to find Sun Xiaolan, and ask him to send letters to the provinces bordering us, salute first and then soldiers to jointly exempt the goods from double taxation, and one tax will be collected through four provinces. If he can't wait for a satisfactory answer, he can ask Sun Xiaolan to mobilize troops to the border area to deter him by force, and if he can't do it, he will be beaten with a stick. ”

Hu Wenkai said this at the wine table in order to reassure these chambers of commerce, otherwise what good is it for people to follow you, isn't it that you are strong and have clear rules.

The heads of these chambers of commerce all stood up and toasted Hu Wenkai excitedly.

"Guys, this is what we should do, you are responsible for selling the product and not let you bear the extra burden, and besides, we have the strength to let them do things in a proper manner."

The people of the Chamber of Commerce are really happy to fall from the sky, and no political party or organization has ever said so blatantly to support it. For the first time, I saw parastate organizations directly speaking of support in the form of arms.

Hu Wenkai then said: "Our control area is only three provinces, but our radiation capacity should be five provinces, and any province that does not abide by our rules will inevitably attract our interference." ”

Sun Xiaolan received a telegram from Zhang Hongfang in Xuzhou, asking if he could go to Nanjing tomorrow morning to discuss the matter explained by the boss. Sun Xiaolan remembered that he needed to attend a meeting in Tianxing Town on 4 July, and immediately telegraphed back that he would wait for Zhang Hongfang at the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion the next morning. After arranging the affairs here in Xuzhou, we set off back to Nanjing, took the last train, found a sleeper, and lay down to make do for the night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Hongfang took five presidents of the chamber of commerce to Nanjing in three cars. Originally, Zhang Hongfang was going to go to Nanjing alone, but she couldn't stand the begging of these people so she had to take them. This is a matter of great importance to several chambers of commerce, and the reduction of the goods transit tax is considerable over the course of a year. These people must follow Zhang Hongfang to witness it with their own eyes.

The car was stopped by the guards at the gate of the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, and Zhang Hongfang's car rolled down the window and handed out the documents and was directly released, but the two cars behind were stopped and not allowed to enter. Zhang Hongfang had to get out of the car and shake Sun Xiaolan's phone, and the guards answered the phone and waited for the vehicle to enter, but the person who came needed to be searched before entering.

Wang Xiuguo entered the heavily guarded office area for the first time and whispered: "This is stricter than entering the boss's office building." ”

Zhang Hongfang said: "That's the boss who is low-key and close to the people." ”

Entering the Yangtze River Garrison Command, Zhang Hongfang arranged for these five people to go to the reception room and go to Sun Xiaolan by himself.

Sun Xiaolan listened to Zhang Hongfang talk about the whole thing, took off the military hat on his head and fanned it up.

"Zhang Hongfang, let's do this first, tomorrow the meeting you remind the boss to make up the authorization for me, I will first do a good letter and send it to the boss for approval."

"Coincidentally, the day before yesterday, the British warships entered the Yangtze River and took the initiative to file with us, and the muzzles of the guns were all put on gun jackets according to our requirements. In the past, he was very arrogant, and the passenger ship that the boss was riding was rammed by a British warship and drifted in the river. ”

"The boss is on fire, let the British warship enter the Yangtze River for the record, travel at the specified speed on the specified route, and the naval guns must wear gun suits or be directly sunk."

Zhang Hongfang asked nervously: "Will the British agree?" ”

"I can't help him, France and the United States took the lead in complying with the boss's demands, and the British refused at first, but they were stopped by our warships and planes at the mouth of the Yangtze River several times, and finally they did not bow their noble heads. You see, this is the warship of the Japanese who took the initiative to request the filing. ”

"The boss said well, either you don't do anything, and if you want to do something, you have to do it with real guns. Look, aren't the British bowing their heads the same? If he does not file the record, he will file directly. ”

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Zhang Hongfang, it's normal if you don't understand, you're not engaged in politics. The boss is the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River Garrison Command, who is responsible for the affairs of the Yangtze River waterway? Our boss, if you don't listen to your boss, the warship will drive over and fight him. ”

"Sun Xiaolan, you guys fight and kill all day long, I can convey the boss's meaning to you, if there is any difficulty, you can find the boss to solve it."

"It's so difficult that there is nothing difficult, I sent someone over in Jiangxi, and it is estimated that I will not dare to collect your toll tax if I borrow ten guts from him, and I need to brew a rhetoric in other provinces. However, it can be guaranteed that several provinces will not collect your toll tax within a month, and the final level of determination on the Yangtze River depends on the determination of the boss. ”

Zhang Hongfang asked idiotically: "To what extent is the boss determined?" To what extent should you say the will of the boss, I will convey your meaning to the boss. ”

"Zhang Hongfang, how can you be virtuous with Chen Yongcheng, and report to the boss at every turn. There should be no problem with this matter, to put it bluntly, you don't believe in the strength of the boss, and it should be solved as soon as possible. ”

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to the boss, and everyone is afraid that the boss will be angry...... Zhang Hongfang said aggrievedly.

Sun Xiaolan put down the hat in his hand, leaned over, looked at Zhang Hongfang and said.

"You don't know the boss at all, he's afraid that he won't find him, and if he finds him, does he have a loss?"

"It's hard to guarantee that this matter will become a breakthrough for the boss, if you dare to collect my taxes, I will kill you."

"Sun Xiaolan, don't say it so terrifyingly, the boss is a civilized person."

"I'm dizzy, Zhang Hongfang, where did you say our fruit came from now?"

"How?"

"The boss deceived me, I don't believe it, go back and ask your Chen Yongcheng."

"Sun Xiaolan, if I tell you what you say, I will definitely report it to the boss."

"Haha, Zhang Hongfang, let me tell you, nothing can compare to the breakthrough that the boss is looking for now."

"What breakthrough?"

"You are so stupid, the wrong moves in Hubei and Sichuan, as long as the boss grasps them, it will definitely happen sooner or later."

"I'm not going to talk nonsense to you, anyway, I'll see your results next month." After speaking, Zhang Hongfang stood up and left Sun Xiaolan's office.

The five chamber of commerce presidents immediately stood up and surrounded her and asked, "What did General Sun say?" ”

Zhang Hongfang watched these people calm down, smiled and said, "General Sun said that he can completely exempt your chamber of commerce from transit taxes, but you need to fully support the construction in Jiangsu." ”

Wang Xiuguo immediately said: "All the exemptions of our chamber of commerce, our chamber of commerce proposes to invest half of them in the construction of Jiangsu." ”

Zhang Hongfang immediately glanced around, Wang Xiuguo had already finished his words, and the other four presidents of the chamber of commerce immediately said: "Manager Zhang, as long as our goods pass through these provinces and do not collect taxes, we will give half of the tax to your company." ”

Zhang Hongfang said: "Let me tell you, the Fujin Party is not a free service, and tens of thousands of people have to be raised. If this tax is really lowered, you will really have to show it. ”

At this time, Hu Wenkai was catching shrimp at home, and his speech before going abroad contained two aspects, the first was the achievements made in all aspects, which must be praised, how could it be possible to show achievements without praise. The second is the plan of each company in the second half of the year, and I can't say how to do it myself, and I must submit it to each unit.

These two aspects are just one aspect, and the key question is political orientation, whose pen is the barrel and whose gun is the barrel. These two things are absolutely the key issues, whose pen is whose public opinion is guided, and whose gun is the foundation of that political party. Hu Wenkai sat at No. 3, Lane 181, grasping his scalp, and he was really not sure about the direction of the re-entry party.

It wasn't just Sun Dacang and Taizu that popped up in his head, in fact, his ideas had long been decided, and practice was the only criterion for testing the truth. Who's is not the standard, we take it to the folk test.
