Chapter 488: Business War
After everyone left, Chen Yi smiled and said: "Brother Ouyang, I am so surprised, the life experiences of the two gangsters in Shanghai are so well understood, and this time they have completely crushed them psychologically and spiritually. I wonder if this time has been prepared? "Brother Chen, I'm afraid you have forgotten Gao Guoying's Einsatzgruppen in Shanghai, do you think I don't know anything about the Green Gang?" "I remembered that this Einsatzgruppen hibernated on the beach in the name of the Qing Gang, and was wiped out during the attack on the Japanese Hongqiao Airport, no wonder I know so much about the life experiences of Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng. In the first round, he was forced to completely disarm, and the Green Gang, which gave me the most headache on the beach, could be resolved. ”
"Brother Chen, don't be too happy. Shanghai is a mixed place, and the interests will put speculators into risks, which is the characteristic of Shanghai. Don't underestimate the ability of speculators, the next step will be that speculators will appear in the field, especially the means of raising prices and hoarding grain. All you have to do is stock up on as much food as you can and fight a business war with speculators. With food, there is no panic in the heart, the people take food as the sky, and the people will not make trouble if they are not hungry. Remember, food is the best way to keep prices down. If there are signs of hoarding grain and raising prices in the market, you must remain quiet and keep putting grain at a low price into the market. ”
"Since the speculators want to hoard grain, let them hoard it, and the heat must be well controlled, and the appropriate time will suddenly announce to the outside world that a large amount of cheap grain will enter the city." "Ouyang, thanks to your reminder, after the recovery of Shanghai, many refugees who have left their hometowns, including a large number of businessmen, industrialists, and displaced people, have poured into Shanghai, and the demand for grain has risen sharply. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Since I am here to assist you in your work, I naturally want to solve problems for you, or that sentence, I am not afraid that I can't do it, I am afraid that I can't think of it." ”
"Before I came, I made a report to the headquarters, and the headquarters agreed to use Jiangxi's grain reserves. Today, the early rice in Jiangxi and Hunan is growing gratifyingly, and a bumper harvest is in sight, and the headquarters has sent people to Hunan to purchase grain stocks. It is estimated that the first batch of grain will be about 50,000 tons tomorrow, which will be shipped to Shanghai. "Great, I immediately opened a grain storage warehouse at the 16th pier." "Don't use the name of the city government, Gao Guoying has a grain store to let it operate. The speculators who want to kill will be ruined and have lost all their money, and they must be intimidated by the power of thunder. "Ouyang, I have learned your methods again."
After Chen Yi left, a subordinate came in and reported: "Chief of General Staff, Huang Jinrong was admitted to the hospital after leaving the city government, probably mentally stimulated!" "It's okay, I'll leave this matter to you, take the opportunity to let him quit smoking!" "Yes!" After this subordinate left, Ouyang Jian glanced at his watch and hurriedly went downstairs. About an hour later, Ouyang Jian drove to Hongqiao Airport. On the tarmac of the airport, Li Dabao led the Marines to board the plane, and when they saw Ouyang Jian's jeep appear, they hurriedly ran over to greet him. "Report to the Chief of the General Staff, the Marine Brigade is doing parachute training, please instruct!"
"Brigade Commander Li, I'm not here to inspect, I'm here to pick up guests, you continue to train!" "Yes!" Li Dabao turned around and ran. Soon, four transport planes took to the skies one after another on another runway. Soon, a transport plane flying from Taiwan appeared in the sky. The plane landed smoothly on the runway, and Li Jing led the medical team to step off the plane one by one. "Report to the Chief of the General Staff, the medical team has arrived, please instruct!" Li Jing raised his hand and saluted, Ouyang Jian returned the military salute, and saw Ouyang Mei in the queue making a grimace, Ouyang Jian pretended not to see it. After the medical team was disbanded, they got into a truck one after another, and Ouyang Jian asked Ouyang Mei to stay.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaomei will stay for the time being to carry out a special mission." "What is our mission?" "At present, brothels in Shanghai have been closed down, and prostitutes are centrally managed. Your task is not only to heal their sicknesses, but also to heal their wounds. "How many prostitutes are there?" "There are thousands!" "We only have 20 doctors, so we have too few people!" "Mei Fang and Zhang Qian have organized a group of volunteers, and you can select people from among the prostitutes to be temporary nurses. The headquarters decided that prostitutes should be reformed intensively for half a year, and after half a year, they would enlist in the army according to their wishes. ”
At present, Li Jing has served as the director of the field hospital of the 2nd Corps, and Ouyang Jian asked Li Jing to personally lead the medical team to Shanghai, with the purpose of staying in Shanghai after completing the task and preparing for the establishment of Shanghai Medical College with Zhang Qian. After the truck left, Ouyang Mei asked, "Second brother, what task do you want me to perform?" "Be my car, go home and stay with your mother for one night, report to me tomorrow morning, and I'll assign you a task." That night, Mei Fang dragged her tired body back, and Ouyang Jian asked with concern.
"Ma'am, do you have a headache?" "Not to mention the headache, these prostitutes don't appreciate it at all. You don't know how chaotic it is, if it weren't for my identity, I'm afraid it would have been a mess. "Madame, I'm sorry for you. To move them with affection and reason, the key is to let them see hope. The headquarters decided to explore a model for reforming prostitutes in Shanghai, in order to solve their future livelihoods. In order not to be discriminated against, these prostitutes joined the army en masse after reform. When they have the status of soldiers, they will be accepted by society. "The headquarters has thought very carefully about whether to convey this decision to the prostitutes so that they can see that hope is more practical than preaching."
Ouyang Jian said: "Just select a group of young and healthy prostitutes to join the army, this will be better!" "It's still you're happy, and you can see immediate results. By the way, I heard that the little sister is back?" I told her to go home first and then go on a special mission! "Special mission?" "Huang Jinrong, the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang, was hospitalized, this person is a big smoker, and I let Xiaomei be his attending doctor and let him quit smoking, which is of great significance to the transformation of the Shanghai Youth Gang. Huang Jinrong's addiction to smoking is so great that he must be restrained under martial law. ”
In fact, Huang Jinrong is not really sick, but even frightened and frightened by the addiction to smoking. Ouyang Jian asked him to quit smoking in person, and on the way home, he was admitted to the hospital. Early the next morning, Ouyang Mei came to the hospital and saw a lady in her 30s making a lot of noise and insisting on taking Huang Jinrong home. Huang Jinrong's first two wives divorced one after another, and now this wife is a subordinate widow. Huang Jinrong is nearly 80 years old, but her wife is very young, no more than 40 years old. Huang Jinrong has no ancestral hall and has not given birth so far. "My lord is a big smoker, we asked to be discharged from the hospital and go home, why don't we let him go home?"
The director of the hospital was very embarrassed and said: "Madam, the military management committee has ordered that Mr. Huang must stay in the hospital to quit smoking, and we will also ask Mrs. for understanding." "At this time, Huang Jinrong was tossing and turning on the bed, crying constantly, and several subordinates were scratching their ears and cheeks beside the bed, not knowing what to do?" The old man is old and can't stand this toss, if something goes wrong, who can take this responsibility? "Can I take responsibility?" With the voice, Ouyang Mei walked in with the medicine box on her back. A beautiful female soldier wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared, like a hundred birds pressing the sound.
Ouyang Mei quickly opened the effect of the medicine and took out the needle, and quickly gave Huang Jinrong an injection. "It's a tranquilizer that relieves the patient's pain." Sure enough, Huang Jinrong gasped smoothly and soon fell asleep. "Mr. Dean, I am Ouyang Mei, a military doctor in the Field Hospital of the 2nd Corps of the Eighth Route Army, and I am also Ouyang Jian's sister, and from now on, I will be responsible for Mr. Huang's full drug rehabilitation!" When the dean heard that the beautiful female military doctor of the Eighth Route Army in front of him was Ouyang Jian's sister, he immediately felt terrified and grateful. "Madam, Mr. Huang's health will be better if he quits smoking, I hope you will cooperate?"
Ouyang Jian's sister came to heal herself, and Huang Jinrong's wife didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. "Miss Ouyang, can you quit smoking all your life?" Huang Jinrong's wife asked. "Madam, please rest assured, we will definitely help Mr. Huang quit smoking." Ouyang Jian's own sister appeared in the hospital, which immediately caused a sensation, and the medical staff of the hospital, including the patients, rushed to be the first to gamble. When the Shanghai media learned about it, a large number of journalists flocked to the hospital to try to get valuable news. The most ridiculous thing is that many patients in the hospital have been transferred to the hospital and asked to come to this hospital for treatment, which in turn caused the hospital to be overcrowded.
A few days later, the price of grain in Shanghai suddenly rose sharply, and speculators began to hoard grain frantically, which in turn caused a multi-bone rice brand effect. Suddenly rumors flew all over the sky, and the people began to rush to buy food. Chen Yi continued to put affordable grain on the market, but it was still eaten and squeezed dry by illegal merchants. For half a month, Chen Yi put about 100,000 tons of grain on the market, and its price doubled, but it is still missing, while the price of grain is still rising. In the evening of that day, at the city government building, Chen Yi said to Ouyang Jian: "Brother Ouyang, the heat is almost over, tomorrow 15 grain sales points will be arranged in the city, and grain will be sold at wholesale prices, and each person is limited to 100 catties." ”
"In addition, tomorrow we will sell grain directly in front of the city hall building. I'm afraid that the unscrupulous merchants who hoard food will follow suit! "What are unscrupulous businessmen, they will not follow unless absolutely necessary. Tomorrow the grain will be sold at the wholesale price, and the day after tomorrow a notice will be posted to sell the grain at the purchase price, and the publicity will be widely carried out that a large amount of grain is being transported from Jiangxi in a steady stream. To destroy their psychological defenses in one fell swoop, you just have to wait and see the excitement! The next morning, Ouyang Jian stood in front of the city government building, and saw trucks unloading grain in front of the city government, and a grain selling point appeared in front of the door. Soon the news spread, and a large crowd of people swarmed in.
The grain sales were orderly throughout the morning, and the people in the city got the information, and the food was not to be alarmed. In the afternoon, the retail farmers who were hoarding grain could not hold on and began to sell it. The next day, the big grain hoarders saw that the situation was not good and began to sell grain, which in turn caused the price of grain to plummet. On the third day, the food market was stinky, and the rush of people in the city subsided, and few people cared about food. Rice is difficult to store, and if the weather is hot and humid during the rainy season, the rice will grow insects. The key is that in half a month, early rice will be on the market, and at that time, no one will care about old grain. In this business war, there is no need to repeat how many unscrupulous businessmen in Shanghai have lost their money.
This business war has made speculative businessmen understand that opposing a powerful government is undoubtedly seeking death. On this day, there were singing and laughing in the city hall, and Chen Yi said humorously: "Brother Ouyang, the business war is also thrilling. Good news for you. The logistics department of the 1 Corps purchased 20,000 tons of grain in Shanghai, saving one-third of the money for grain purchases, which is really unimaginable. "Through the food problem, you can see how terrible the market monopoly is. The key to building a healthy market in the future is to abide by the laws of the market and the government to be predictable. ”
"Brother Chen, you have to set up a think tank to study this science. How to crack down on unscrupulous traders and how to follow the laws of the market also requires wisdom. "Brother Ouyang, it's too difficult to manage a city with a population of several million, but I have confidence. I have benefited a lot from this business war! "Brother Chen, a battlefield without gunpowder is even more difficult to fight, because you don't know where the enemy came from, and even came and went without a trace. I believe that on the battlefield without gunsmoke, you will become a good general. ”
"Brother Ouyang, you and I complement each other and have a good heart, I hope to partner again after the war!" "Brother Chen, I'm not this material, you can do it yourself. I'm a fighter, and fighting is more for me. When the war is over, new enemies will appear, and I will continue to fight. ”
