Wang Mo, who was irritable because of money, poured a glass of wine and drank wine one by one, with a posture of treating himself as a wine barrel. ⊙

Wang Erhu wanted to share his worries and solve problems for his superiors, but he was just a little soldier less than twenty years old, and he couldn't think of any good way to make money, so he had to accompany Wang Mo to pour a glass of wine into his mouth.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get slightly drunk, and their eyes were a little cloudy.

Knock-knock-knock

There was a knock on the door, and Wang Mo, who was already irritable, was suddenly disturbed, and shouted very unhappily: "Who, didn't Lao Tzu tell you, don't come and disturb me if you have nothing to do?" ”

At this time, a familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Young marshal, it's me, Qin Xianglin." ”

"Qin Xianglin?" Although he didn't know why Qin Xianglin was here, Wang Mo still came to his senses and said, "Old Qin, come in." ”

With Wang Mo's permission, the door of the private room was pushed open, but it was not only Qin Xianglin who came in, but also another middle-aged man in a cyan robe.

Qin Xianglin greeted Wang Mo familiarly, and asked with a smile: "What is it that the young marshal is so upset that he came here to drink alcohol?" ”

"Forget it, don't talk about those worries! You're not busy working in Luzhou for your Taihe textile factory, why are you here? Also, who is this? Wang Mo looked at the middle-aged man who was standing beside Qin Xianglin with a respectful expression and asked.

Qin Xianglin introduced: "Young marshal, this is Pan Shouren, the eldest brother of Pan Shouli, the owner of Pan's Printing and Dyeing Factory. Shouren, this is the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army that our colleagues in the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce often tell you, and Wang Mo, the current chief of the Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion. ”

Pan Shouren hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "I've seen the young marshal!" ”

"Since he is Lao Pan's eldest brother, he is also considered his own family, so you don't have to be polite. Do you have any plans for coming to Chongqing this time? If there is any difficulty that needs the help of the Zhenfu Mansion, just say, I will do my best to help. Wang Mo looked this Pan Shouren up and down, which was somewhat similar to Pan Shouli, the owner of Pan's Printing and Dyeing Factory he was familiar with.

Qin Xianglin said with a smile: "Shouren, I told you a long time ago, the young marshal has always been kind to us industrial and business people. ”

Pan Shouren nodded in agreement, although he had heard from his third brother and many people in the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce before he came, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he really felt the importance and support of this young young marshal for industrial and commercial people.

"Young Marshal, I was invited by my third brother to come to Chongqing to establish a branch of Pan's Printing and Dyeing Factory." Pan Shouren bowed down and said.

Some people are willing to come to Chongqing to invest and build factories, Wang Mo of course welcomes it very much, and said: "This is a good thing, and I would like to express my great welcome on behalf of Chongqing Zhenfu Government." The location of the printing and dyeing factory, as well as the problems of water and electricity used to start construction, I will ask the Department of Industry and Commerce of Zhenfu Prefecture to send special personnel to help solve them. ”

If you want to solve the crucial problems of water and electricity in the printing and dyeing factory in other places, you don't know how much it will cost to deal with and dredge up the relationship? And now that Wang Mo has confiscated a dime, he asked the Zhenfu Government to send someone to assist in the whole process, which is not a small support.

"Young Marshal Xie!" Pan Shouren was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down, and then asked, "I heard from the third brother that the young marshal has a channel to buy a practical and cheap printing and dyeing machine, I don't know if I can ask the young marshal to buy a set of the latest printing and dyeing machine on his behalf?" ”

If it was the past, Wang Mo agreed without saying a word, but now that he is anxious about money, where can he still have the money to buy a printing and dyeing machine from the industrial machine, frowned, and said: "Yes, you can, but you must pay the full amount first." This time, there is no way to provide an interest-free loan to buy a printing and dyeing machine like your third brother, and I have been very short of money recently. ”

"No problem, I'll bring the money for the purchase of the printing and dyeing machine over in a few days, and I'll be troublesome." Pan Shouren was already very satisfied with Wang Mo's willingness to help purchase printing and dyeing machines, and he had never had the luxury of asking for an interest-free loan. As for paying the full amount first, he was not even less worried, Wang Motang, the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and the chief of the Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, could not have hacked him for tens of thousands of oceans.

Qin Xianglin, who was on the side, interjected and asked, "Why young marshal, are the finances of the Zhenfu Mansion very tight, you were just worried about this matter just now?" ”

Wang Mo sighed and said, "None of them are outsiders, and I won't hide it from you." That's right, it's all about money. The finances of the Zhenfu Mansion are not only tight, but now it is even difficult to maintain the normal operation of the Zhenfu Mansion. Recently, I am planning to build several large industrial projects in eastern Sichuan, and now I am worried about where to raise money. ”

"How much silver does the young marshal need? Maybe our Luzhou Chamber of Commerce can help raise it. Qin Xianglin said that he really wanted to help, not to mention how much Wang Mo had helped them in the past Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, so he took the initiative to stand up and help because of Wang Mo's identity and strength, which is definitely a potential investment with great returns.

"I have received your wishes, but you must know that the industrial projects I am going to invest in are not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of oceans, but at least 300,000 oceans. Lao Qin, if you sell your Taihe Textile Factory, you may not be able to make up one-third of it. Wang Mo joked with Qin Xianglin, he didn't have much hope for the help that Lao Qin said, if it was 100,000, it would be enough for the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce to gather 10,000 oceans. But more than 200,000 or 300,000 oceans, even if the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce can take it out, how can it be willing to take so much silver for no reason?

Qin Xianglin smiled and said, "Young marshal, you may have forgotten that in our Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, there are fourteen people who still have interest-free loans on their backs." ”

Wang Mo nodded and said, "I know this, but if I'm not mistaken, according to the contract, the first year of repayment of the interest-free loan will be due in four months, and it will not quench the thirst of the near water." ”

Qin Xianglin looked stunned, he really couldn't imagine that Wang Mo would strictly abide by the provisions of the contract so strictly when the finances were so tight, especially since Wang Mo was still the powerful party.

This time, Qin Xianglin was really convinced by Wang Mo, and said with feeling: "Young marshal, I really didn't expect that under such circumstances, you can strictly abide by the provisions of the contract, my old Qin is really convinced!" I've been in business for decades, young marshal, you're one of the most expensive people I've ever seen! As he spoke, he gave Wang Mo a thumbs up.

This made Wang Mo a little embarrassed, although he was a warlord who actually controlled the power of life and death of the people, but the deep-rooted ideas from later generations made him not have the slightest consciousness of being a powerful warlord, he was more of a military and political official who served the people under his rule. There may be occasional petty burghers who think and behave, but he can never look at the lower classes of the people like the superiors of this era.

Wang Mo smiled to hide his embarrassment, and said: "Lao Qin, don't wear a top hat for me, I just think that as the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and the chief of the Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, I should set an example and strictly abide by the spirit of the contract." ”

Although the relevant laws and regulations in southern and eastern Sichuan still follow the provisions of the former Qing Dynasty, Wang Mo has always hoped to create a legal environment. However, firstly, there is no corresponding legal talent, and secondly, war is still the first priority for a considerable period of time, so we cannot take care of these things for the time being. Therefore, the issue of the rule of law can only be put on hold for the time being.

Qin Xianglin said again: "Young Marshal, since the Zhenfu Mansion is financially tight, there is no need to stick to those contract provisions, I believe that no one will have the slightest objection to this." ”

Wang Mo's expression moved, this may really be a good way to solve the problem of funds, the first year repayment of the fourteen interest-free loans should be 300,000 oceans, and it is more than enough to start those few industrial projects.

However, Wang Mo still asked: "Paying the first year repayment of the interest-free loan four months in advance won't affect your daily production and operation, right?" ”

"Don't worry, young marshal, because of your strong support, the business of each family has been very good for most of the past six months, but it has not made less money, and each family will not break their muscles and bones if they take one or two hundred thousand oceans." Qin Xianglin said.

Since Qin Xianglin said so, Wang Mo did not continue to be hypocritical, and said: "Okay, thank you for the other thirteen families for me, this time I will accept your love, and I will have the opportunity to compensate for it in the future." Come, on behalf of Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, I would like to toast you with a glass of gratitude! ”

Qin Xianglin hurriedly picked up his wine glass and saluted back, and said, "Don't dare, some trivial things, how dare you take the young marshal's thanks." ”

Unexpectedly solved the problem of funds, Wang Mo was very happy, compared to drinking alcohol to relieve his sorrows before, he drank more energetically, and soon became drunk.

"Old Qin, what can I do about this?" Pan Shouren looked at Wang Mo who was drunk and lying on the table, a little at a loss. You must know that with Wang Mo's identity, if something happens because he is drunk here, then he and Qin Xianglin are definitely dead.

Qin Xianglin also had a headache, he really didn't understand, as Wang Mo, why didn't he like to go out with the guards? If Wang Mo's guard team was there at this time, it would naturally be foolproof to let the guard send him back.

In the final analysis, this is because of Wang Mo's petty citizen thinking from later generations, so that he is not accustomed to going in and out like the warlords of this era, and carrying dozens or hundreds of people with him.

Qin Xianglin thought for a while and said, "In this way, Shouren, you now hurry to the station of the independent division and ask them to transfer a team of soldiers and horses here to escort the young marshal back to the mansion." The station of the independent division is on the outskirts of the west side of the city, and you can find out if you go there and ask someone. ”

Pan Shouren answered and was about to leave, when Wang Mo, who was lying on the table, suddenly stood up and said drunkenly: "You want to call someone...... No...... Don't bother. ”

After Wang Mo said that, he walked crookedly to the window, took out the shell gun from his arms, stretched out the window, and fired a shot into the sky.

Bang!

The gunshots rang out, but it was already dark and there were not many pedestrians on the streets, otherwise there would have been a mess.

Qin Xianglin and Pan Shouren looked at each other, both a little crying and laughing, they really couldn't imagine that the drunk Wang Mo would use this method to call people.

The method of shooting people was indeed a bit chaotic, but the effect was very significant, and soon a team of policemen whistled and trotted all the way to the sound of the gunshots, and after a while, they arrived at Huiquan Tower.

These newly recruited policemen had all seen Wang Mo when they were training in the training camp, and naturally recognized the chief of the Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, so they immediately took over Wang Mo's escort duties.
