Section 1 Shanghai Turmoil (8)
Zhuang Jihua left the Zhang family with a heavy heart, and it was a big setback to fail to convince Zhang Jingjiang, and the choice of Zhang Jingjiang was the best choice he came up with after a comprehensive analysis of various factors; he had high-level political relations, and he had close ties with Shanghai's industrial and commercial and financial circles, and he himself had a very high character and economic acumen, and with his help, he could completely let go of Shanghai, and once the situation was opened up in Sichuan, he would come forward to encourage Shanghai industry and commerce to invest in Sichuan, which would have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Fortunately, Mei Yuntian came back with him, otherwise things would have really become troublesome, or Old Man Mei was thoughtful.
Zhuang Jihua didn't estimate the difficulty of things, but he couldn't help but do this, he couldn't watch the country go to the abyss, looking back at Zhang's house, Zhuang Jihua shouted fiercely in his heart: "Last time I wanted to rely on others, but this time I want to rely on myself, no one can stop me, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha." β
When he was about to reach the corner of the street, he saw Wu Ziniu swaying on the corner of the street, and when he saw him come out, he greeted him, and saw Zhuang Jihua's face was not good, and knew that things were not going well, so he comforted him and said: "Teacher..., Wen, I still call you the teacher, so smooth." After speaking, without waiting for Zhuang Jihua to express his opinion, he continued: "Commander, if Old Man Zhang doesn't do it, forget it, this matter is reluctant." β
"Hmph, I don't know yet, Mr. Jingjiang has his concerns, although he didn't agree, but he is still a good person worthy of respect, and he will be so rude in the future." Zhuang Jihua snorted coldly and glared at him fiercely, very dissatisfied with his language.
Wu Ziniu shrunk his neck, but he felt very comfortable in his heart, and asked others to scold him, he was already angry, but Zhuang Jihua was different, it was natural for him to be scolded, he was his soldier.
"Let's go back to the hotel." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he took two steps and looked back at him strangely: "Aren't you going to work today?" β
Wu Ziniu smiled: "There's nothing wrong with the patrol room, and besides, I don't plan to do it anymore, I've already decided to go with you." β
Zhuang Jihua nodded, and suddenly remembered what he said about Deng Yanda: "Wang Xiaoshan, can they arrest people in the concession?" β
"You can't just arrest someone." Wu Ziniu explained: "If they want to arrest people, they must notify us in advance, and we will come forward to cooperate, and then extradite them to the national government, but important people can be extradited directly." β
"Direct extradition?" Zhuang Jihua didn't understand.
"That is, after arresting people, they will not be brought back to the patrol room, and will be directly handed over to the Songhu Garrison Command or the Central Party Investigation Bureau. Peng Pai the year before last and Xiang Zhongfa last year were like this, as soon as people were caught, they were pulled away, we came forward only in name, and they were the ones who did it, but we must be notified in advance, foreigners value this very much. β
"You don't understand this, they are defending the so-called legal system, and they are defending their legal system on Chinese soil." Zhuang Jihua snorted coldly: "If you're okay, go back to the patrol room first, don't let them arrest Director Deng, everyone else in the Whampoa Military Academy, the principal can spare it, and there are two principals who will never let go." β
"Who's the other one?" Wu Ziniu didn't expect it for a while, and asked urgently: "It won't be you, the division commander?"
"I'm so capable, it's Zhou Enlai." Zhuang Jihua said angrily: "Give me Yunfei's address, and I'll go to him myself later." β
It's not okay to go to see Song Yunfei without Lian Xiaosen, Zhuang Jihua returned to the hotel, but Mei Yuntian and Lian Xiaosen haven't come back yet, Zhuang Jihua waited until the afternoon before they came back.
As soon as they entered the door, Zhuang Jihua saw that they had gained a lot today, both of them were full of interest, and when they saw Zhuang Jihua, Mei Yuntian smiled and took out a few documents: "Okay, everything is done." The money from the bank arrived yesterday, and it was done as soon as we went today, and then we went to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to register a company, the name of which was what we had negotiated before, Vantone Trading Company."
The name of the company was discussed on the ship, Lian Xiaosen wanted to take a very loud name, but Mei Yuntian thought that it should be a low-key, not very noticeable name, and finally Zhuang Jihua made a decision, trade is exchange, exchange is through, they want to import and export all kinds of equipment, named Wantong.
"Uncle Zhuang, don't you see, the president of that bank is interesting, so nervous that his hands are shaking." Lian Xiaosen couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his experience in the bank.
100 million US dollars, this is the largest amount of money handled by Citibank in Shanghai at one time, and the order from New York is extremely strict, and the president of the head office personally sent a telegram, telling him that if the affairs of this account are not handled well, he should ask him to leave his job by himself, and if the head of the account is angry, then he will not be mixed in the banking world again in this life. Such harsh wording, the general manager of Shanghai frightened, as soon as he heard that Mei Yuntian was coming, he immediately received it in person, all things were done in the shortest possible time, Mei Yuntian saw this, immediately climbed up the pole, pretending to inquire about the company's procedures, the manager immediately took care of everything, a phone call to the Ministry of Industry Bureau, don't look at the people of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, but Citibank's face did not dare not sell, Mei Yuntian to the Ministry of Industry Bureau, did not run by himself at all, the director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau came forward, The head of each department personally sent a few forms to Mei Yuntian, and after filling them out, he immediately issued a license, and all the capital verification required in the past was gone.
"That's it, what it takes a week for others to do, we can do it in a day. Citibank's face is incredible. Mei Yuntian smiled and told Zhuang Jihua about their whereabouts today.
Zhuang Jihua felt a little strange in his heart, how could the head office in New York send a telegram here, maybe it was the flow of funds that made New York aware of it. Zhuang Jihua's speculation was not far from the truth, and it was impossible for such a large flow of funds not to attract the attention of the bank, so the president of the head office in New York paid personal attention, and the telegram not only warned the general manager in Shanghai, but also reminded him to pay attention to what the funds were used for. Therefore, Mei Yuntian's tricks in the bank also made the bank half relieved, and the other half did not understand what kind of business required such a large amount of money.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong, this village may want to set up a chemical factory in China." After the telegram from Shanghai in New York, the president of Citibank said to himself that he was also unacceptable, the United States has always been relatively strict in the supervision of financial institutions, several laws were passed in the nineteenth century, and American politicians increasingly believe that the more wealth people are, the more dangerous it is, after Hitler's rise to Germany, Goering attracted the most attention after him, one of the reasons is that he is one of the richest people in the whole of Europe. Therefore, banks have to supervise the large-scale flow of funds to foreign countries, which Zhuang Jihua did not estimate at the beginning, and this kind of supervision also brought him some small troubles later.
"Great, rest for a while, let's go visit your uncle." Zhuang Jihua smiled reluctantly, this benefit was too insignificant compared to Zhang Jingjiang's refusal, and it could not completely dispel the frustration in Zhuang Jihua's heart.
"What, Zhang Jingjiang refused?" Mei Yuntian saw that Zhuang Jihua's face was not good, so he asked carefully.
Zhuang Jihua nodded: "Yuntian, it seems that our plan is going to change, you have to stay in Shanghai, you can't go to Sichuan with me, Yu Qiaqing can only be carried out through business cooperation, and he can't be absorbed into us, and you also have to expand your influence in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles as much as possible, which will be of great help to influence them to invest in Sichuan in the future, a national defense industry, just a few of us are not enough." β
"Then you're the only one." Mei Yuntian's face was gloomy, the future of this trip was unpredictable, dangerous and abnormal, what was the situation in Sichuan, no one counted, whether the factory could be set up, whether it would be swallowed by the warlords after it was done, no one was sure: "This is a sheep into the wolf pack." β
"What's the matter, they are the sheep, and I am the tiger into the flock." Zhuang Jihua stood up and said loudly.
The grocery store in the corner is so lonely, the faΓ§ade is dilapidated, you can see from the half-open door that it is cold inside, the counter is old but clean, stepping into this small shop, a trace of chill seeped into Zhuang Jihua's heart, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"What do you want?" Sensing that someone was coming in, Song Yunfei, who looked down at the newspaper, didn't even raise his head, just asked coldly.
didn't answer, Song Yunfei didn't bother to ask again, often people came in, looked at it and left, and didn't buy anything.
"What can a million buy?"
Song Yunfei's body shook, this voice was too familiar, five years, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he slowly raised his head, and what came into his eyes was an equally restrained face.
"Nothing can be bought." Song Yunfei said restrainedly: "You promised us at the beginning. β
Song Yunfei walked out of the counter, and the two who couldn't control it anymore hugged each other tightly.
"I'm sorry for you, Yunfei." Zhuang Jihua looked around and sighed.
"How did you find here? Teachers. Song Yunfei asked with some confusion in excitement.
"Wu Ziniu told me, I met him in Smele last night, he told me that you are here, and I will come today." Zhuang Jihua had tears in his eyes, he felt more guilty about Song Yunfei, seeing that this person with unique skills and brave fighting was actually in such a place, making a living in this way, the guilt in his heart was even deeper.
"My nephew Lian Xiaosen has seen my uncle." Lian Komori stepped forward respectfully and saluted.
Song Yunfei looked at him in some surprise, not understanding the reason for this title.
"My master is Shangzhao and Xialingdong." Lian Xiaosen immediately explained.
"Big brother!" Song Yunfei suddenly became happy, pulled Lian Xiaosen over, and looked up and down carefully: "Senior brother is good, master is he an old man?" β
"Master is fine, but... Master Tai...Master Tai," Lian Xiaosen looked at Song Yunfei cowardly and whispered, "He has passed away." β
Song Yunfei couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't believe it: "Master, his old man is not yet seventy this year, how could he pass away?" β
