On the Huangpu River, Lin Jinghan drove his 500-ton freighter called Taixing, shuttling along the entire Huangpu River route from Dongjiadu Wharf to Wusongkou. Ｘ

In the past few years of hard work, he has been the owner of three freighters, and the Taixing is his smallest ship and his earliest ship.

The largest, the Taihe, was a 3,000-ton freighter, now captained by the ruffian Wolf Yanfei; The third ship, called the Taishun, was a medium-sized freighter of 1,500 tons, which he handed over to the gray wolf Wang Yupeng.

It's just that today, both the Taihe and the Taishun are moored at the public wharf in Waiyangjing, and he took Yan Fei and A Peng to drive the smallest Taixing to Wusongkou to pick up a batch of goods.

Shanghai is fighting, especially on the Huangpu River is not very peaceful, the Japanese warships have been moored outside the Huishan wharf, using strong firepower is shelling the ** position on the north bank of the Suzhou River, Zhabei and Yangshupu are fiercely exchanging fire, as long as it is Chinese, all hate the brutality of the Japanese, and the houses and other buildings along the Suzhou Creek have basically become a ruin under the blow of enemy fire.

Shipping on the Huangpu River has also almost come to a standstill, and in addition to worrying that it will be accidentally damaged by Japanese warships, it is necessary to guard against bombing by Chinese and Japanese planes in the sky at any time. Chinese fighters will distinguish between friend and foe, generally drop bombs on Japanese warships on the river, and Japanese warships will also crash on the Huangpu River in order to avoid the bombing of ** aircraft, and hit a normal cargo ship, and it will also be a thing to sink it; As long as the Japanese fighters appeared, it didn't matter whether they were military targets or not, as long as there were many people there, they would drop bombs wherever they wanted, and it was a group of inhumane beasts.

Therefore, the people running boats on the Huangpu River are not willing to take risks, and if it were not for the repeated pleas of his friends, Lin Jinghan would have hid ashore, parked his boat at the public dock, and waited for the battle to be fought here.

Sometimes, it is difficult to refute the feelings, because there is a batch of goods in Wusongkou that cannot be entered, the friend begged Lin Jinghan's body, and after thinking about it for a while, Lin Jinghan still put the righteous word in front, and personally drove his smallest boat to Wusongkou to pick up the goods.

Slowly driving past from the side of the Japanese warship, Lin Jinghan only felt that his heart was blocked by a big stone, but for him, who had already experienced too much wind and frost and swords, and the warmth and coldness of the world, he just made a cold face and pretended not to see it.

Yan Fei, who was beside him, scolded hatefully: "It's best if these devil ships are blown up and sunk!" ”

Ah Peng on the other side said: "I heard the day before yesterday that there was a devil boat that was bombed by our plane!" ”

As he was talking, he saw this Japanese warship called the Ikumo, and opened fire on the west bank again, and the battle over there broke out again, and the sound of guns and cannons rose in an instant, and it was already endless.

There were very few ships on the Huangpu River, even the ships of Britain and the United States and other powers were nowhere to be found, so their voyage was very smooth, and they soon arrived at Wusongkou, and according to the request in yesterday's telephone call, they stopped at the Baoshan Wharf on the Yangtze River.

At this time, because it was a special period of war readiness, all the riverside wharves were taken over by the Chinese security forces, and no ships were allowed to dock at the port to load and unload cargo without special permits. And Lin Jinghan is one of the few shipowners who can get this kind of special pass.

The owner Ye Fengtian and Lin Jinghan are also old acquaintances, and after a few years of business, they are not friends but also friends. Lin Jinghan knew that he was running a trading company, although this person was too shrewd, but he was a good person, more reputable, and never owed him transportation fees.

It's just that this Boss Ye often deals with the Japanese this time, and because of the relationship between China and Japan, people in the circle don't like to take over his business. Lin Jingzhai and him have not been in contact for a while, and the last time they cooperated was two months ago.

As soon as Boss Ye saw Lin Jinghan go up to the dock, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and first lit a cigarette for him and his two subordinates.

"Where's your goods?" Lin asked him in shock, but didn't see the piles on the dock.

"In the warehouse over there!" Boss Ye pointed to a large warehouse not far away.

"You!" Lin Jinghan sighed and said, "You really want me to help you with my life, do you know that there is a war going on in the city, and the Huangpu River is full of devil warships, can't you wait for the battle to be over?" ”

Boss Ye had a bitter face and said to him: "I also want to wait, but this situation is really hard to say!" ”

"Oh?" Lin shuddered and hurriedly asked, "What news have you got?" ”

Boss Ye said: "This time, I'm afraid that Shanghai will also suffer, I have a Japanese friend, he told me that their troop transport ship is about to come from their homeland, I am worried that this battle will be like Lugou Bridge!" ”

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the whole of North China has now become a battlefield, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

Lin Jinghan thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of goods are you?" Do you have to take it away? ”

"Didn't I tell you? It is all kinds of rivets, all kinds of screws, all kinds of welding rods and other hardware! ”

"Aren't these things valuable, so wouldn't it be good to put them in the warehouse here?"

"One is worthless, but it can't hold much?" Boss Ye said: "I have several tons of goods, I bought them from the United States, transported them here by regular freighters, and have been stored for a month. I'm not worried if I put it here and don't fight. Do you think, if the Japanese really have to send troops over, they will definitely go ashore on the bank of the Yangtze River, and they will definitely block the river, and I will put these goods here, aren't they blind? ”

After thinking about it, Boss Ye's worries are not bad, if there is really a fight, the Baoshan Wharf here will definitely become a ruin.

"And where are you going to ship it?"

"Chunshan Wharf in Lujiazui, send it to Xiangsheng Shipyard!" He said and sighed again: "No way, I still want to sell it cheaply." ”

Lujiazui, located on the east bank of the Huangpu River, there are factories along the river, but most of them are still rural areas and ponds.

Lin Jinghan nodded, the reality of China is like this now, although it can also produce rivets, screws and welding rods, but the quality is incomparable with imported American hardware, and what shipyards need are high-strength, high-quality hardware, he himself has been the owner of the shipyard, for the sake of safety, so it can only be imported.

There was nothing wrong with Boss Ye hoarding goods, but who would have expected that the war would suddenly break out like this? At this time, it is natural to send away the goods in your hands first, even if it is cheaper, it is right.

"Boss Lin, let's do it, I'll give you three times the price for this trip today, and you don't need to guard here, I'll organize people to transport goods on the ship, you go to Baoshan County first, drink tea, listen to the play, and come back after two hours!" Boss Ye was very interested, took out a check from the Bank of China from his body, and handed it over.

Lin Jinghan took the check, glanced at the numbers on it, nodded with satisfaction, and handed it to Yan Fei beside him to put it away.

This is indeed an extraordinary period, if it is in normal times, it will be after the goods are shipped, the owner will pay for the transportation, and sometimes it will be delayed for a few days, until the end of the month. But today, Boss Ye fulfilled the promise he promised on the phone and paid early.

At that moment, Lin Jinghan nodded and flew to Baoshan City with Yan, leaving Ah Peng to take care of him on the boat.
