Chapter 41: Li Weimin's idol
No matter how powerful Li Wenyuan is, he does not have as many people and guns as the government army, and he is not as well-trained as the government army, let alone as the government army.
In Saigon, others are afraid of the Binh Chuan faction, but Nguyen Van Xin is not.
He came from a prestigious family, attended a military academy in France, participated in the Allied forces in World War II, fought in the European theater, and recaptured Marseille under General de Gaulle. Not only is he not afraid of Li Wenyuan, but he also looks down on him from the bottom of his heart. In public and non-public places, he has ridiculed him in person more than once, and he has made Li Wenyuan unable to step down.
It can be said that Li Wenyuan has always been nested on the embankment and has not come to the city much, which has a lot to do with not wanting to see him.
Lansdale didn't say anything, they had met twice in the Philippines.
Ruan Wenxin's whole brother-in-law temper is very righteous, and he figured out the ins and outs, and immediately said that the people sent by his old friend and his old friend's son would be safe when they came to him. He swore that with Li Wenyuan's eight guts, he would not dare to come to the staff headquarters to kill people.
Tossed in the middle of the night, and returned to his new home to rest in the early morning.
These days, running so many places and doing so many things, Li Weimin is really tired, lying down and falling asleep, and when he woke up, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.
When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to find that there was one more person in the room. The fiancée, who was supposed to be in class at Embankmentford Middle School, actually sat quietly at the desk reading a book. Hearing movement behind her, she turned around. When you turn around, your hair gently swayes, and it is fine and soft, flowing like a wave over your shoulders.
Only in a dream did he dream that as soon as his eyes opened, his dream came true, Li Weimin couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
Wu Lijun's face flushed, as if to hide something, and she stroked her straight hair. Five white jade-like fingers pulled a strand from the hair, gently wrapped around the fingertips, and peeked at him with a pair of bright eyes with affection in his head down.
"Lijun, why did you come and when did you come?"
"No...... Didn't you ask me to come? The more Wu Lijun thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and even her voice was a little choked.
I just woke up, I wasn't awake, and I didn't remember many things.
When I came back last night, I did call her family, and I showed my face in front of the soldiers of the Pingchuan faction, and it ruined Li Wenyuan's affairs, those guys can do anything, if they are recognized, God knows if they will hurt the people closest to him.
On the phone, he just said that she should find a place to avoid the limelight, but did not say that she should come here. Could it be that the expression is wrong, or that the person answering the phone misunderstood.
But none of that matters, the important thing is that she's safe and there.
Li Weimin slapped his forehead violently, pulled her white and delicate little hands, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I slept in a daze." ”
The little girl was very coaxing, and said with a smile: "It's okay, get up so late, are you hungry?" ”
"I had a supper at General Xin's last night, and I'm not hungry."
She broke away her hands, opened the bed curtain with a "bang", and a large amount of light poured in from the window, Li Weimin subconsciously raised his hand to block his eyes, and after a while, he slowly removed his hand.
Today is a good day, the sun is shining and magnificent, she is wearing a clean white A-line dress, just standing quietly in front of the window, motionless and bathed in the sun. It looks so pure and holy, and the picture is suffocatingly beautiful.
Li Weimin throbbed for a while, believing that he was the happiest man in the world, he couldn't help but hug her slender waist, smell her hair greedily, and whispered from the bottom of his heart: "Lijun, I love you." ”
I love you, he says "I love you"!
Wu Lijun's heart shook and she wanted to cry excitedly. Drilled into his arms, hugged tightly by him, smelling the smell of his body, her three souls and six spirits were as if they were suddenly withdrawn, and the whole person was soft, and she had no strength at all, only by hugging her tightly could she not fall.
She exhaled like an orchid, and a faint fragrance penetrated into her nose, which made people intoxicated.
Li Weimin couldn't hold back any longer, suddenly held up her beautiful face, and kissed her carefully.
She blushed so much that she put it in his arms and said in a daze, "For...... For the people, don't ...... Don't be like this, the eldest brother is downstairs, and the professor is also there, and he is ...... It's not good to be seen. ”
This is not an open afterlife, and you can't be too intimate without passing through the door.
Li Weimin came to his senses, touched his mouth unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't control it, the eldest brother is here, right, I'll go down and say hello to him." ”
"There are guests at home, and you haven't washed your face yet!"
Wu Lijun was disgusted, quickly ran over and pushed open the bathroom door, picked up the tooth jar and connected a glass of water, and carefully squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush, as virtuous as a little daughter-in-law.
has a good wife at home, Li Weimin is happy, brushing his teeth and washing while humming a small tune, procrastinating for a while before changing into clean clothes and going downstairs.
Wu Jingchen spoke good English, and was chatting with Professor Anderson with a cigarette.
"Big brother," Li Weimin greeted first, and then turned sideways and asked with a smile: "Professor, what are you talking about, so speculative?" ”
"We're talking about Henry Kaiser, a great entrepreneur whose brother knows and idolizes him. By the way, have you heard of it? ”
That person was so famous, of course Li Weimin had heard of it, and said with a smile: "In 1942, the Axis powers destroyed more than 1,600 ships of the Allies, with a total tonnage of more than 7 million tons. German Admiral Karl Dönitz and German industrialists calculated that, given the production capacity of the Allies at that time, it would not be long before the Allied ships would be wiped out by the "wolf pack" tactical submarine raid squad.
In a critical moment, the innovative Henry Kaiser stepped up to the occasion, buying shipyards in California and Ohio and innovating technology to mass-produce ships with prefabricated components and assemblies. A 10,000-ton freeship that used to take more than 200 days from keel installation to delivery, Mr. Kaiser reduced the production time to 40 days from the beginning, and the quality was excellent.
Half a year later, the 10,000-ton freeship John Fitch set a world record of 24 days under water. By this time, Kaiser had built 100 ships, and for the first time the tonnage of American ships exceeded the tonnage of ships sunk by the Germans. ”
The Wu family has been building ships for generations, and Wu Jingchen did not admire the American counterpart, and then added: "By 1944, an escort aircraft carrier was launched every week. Mr. Kaiser and his colleagues were able to build the entire ship in 17 days.
In the first 212 days of 1945, they completed 247 ships, an average of more than one a day. The Robert Pirry was launched before the paint was dry, and it took only 4 days and 15 hours from the keel laying to the launch, a record that still stands. ”
"Excellent entrepreneurs and businessmen are undoubtedly the most valuable asset of a country!"
Professor Sanderson sighed heartily, looked up and smiled: "Gentlemen, I find that you know much more about the United States than I do about Vietnam. By the way, Lee, do you have any idols? ”
"Of course there is, and it's an American."
"Who?"
"Major General Robert Leto John, I don't know if you've heard of it."
"Soldiers?" Professor Sanderson had apparently not heard of it, and his expression was puzzled.
Li Weimin sat opposite the two, took the coffee from his fiancée, stirred the small spoon while smiling, and introduced: "Major General Leto John is indeed a soldier, but he has never led troops to fight. Professors may have heard that after the war, the Pentagon established a war assets management agency, or WAA, of which Major General Leto John was headed.
As far as I know, the WAA is responsible for managing the astronomical amount of war surplus from the U.S. government, roughly estimated to be worth about $34 billion. Therefore, the 57-year-old major general, who can be called the largest CEO in the history of the United States and even the world, handles more than $40 million in materials and transactions every day, and at least $1 billion worth of materials are crossed out by him with a red pen every month. He had more control over military materiel than any other commander in American history, even those four- and five-star generals with higher military ranks than him. ”
Due to the backwardness of the media, the majority of the American people are not aware of such an organization.
Professor Sanderson had heard of it for the first time, and asked curiously, "Idol him because he is in charge of large sums of war materiel?" ”
"Of course not."
Li Weimin put down his cup and patiently explained: "I admire his way of handling those materials, and say that he is a business genius, rather than a sales genius, the greatest sales genius in the world." Television was not widely available, and newspapers and magazines could not meet the demand, so he came up with the idea of holding a promotional party in front of the Capitol.
He coloured the huge balloons and put them all in the sky, with a strip of cloth underneath that said that the balloons were inexpensive and easy to carry when deflated, for only $104 each! That's why big balloons are now used in many major business events. ”
"Unbelievable, it turns out that the commercial activity amplified balloon started with him!"
Not only that, but he was responsible for sending 4 million kinds of military supplies of all kinds, and it is said that there are two large piles of goods in the catalog alone. The things on it, from the dog sleds distributed to the observation force in Greenland to the mosquito nets of the soldiers fighting in the South Pacific, are not quite educated, let alone sold, and may even be difficult to read in the catalog.
But it wasn't a problem for him, he changed the steel helmet into a washbasin, which sold 100,000 a day; Turning the trainer bomb into a lampholder, a New York businessman pulled away two truckloads; He converted tracked ammunition carriers into tractors, which were cheap and of good quality, and soon all of them were discarded.
He turned more than 30,000 medical vials into targets at the shooting range; The gas mask had a snake-shaped hose on it, so he turned the gas mask into a viper toy that children loved; He turned a large number of medical bandages into a garment factory to fill the shoulders of suits; Turn 500,000 aluminum strips for radar jamming into fashionable decorations on Christmas trees across the United States.
60,000 rocket launchers have become elegant lampposts in New York; 4.5 million pairs of fleece-lined flight pants were converted into gloves and slippers...... In short, the surplus military supplies like mountains and seas slowly entered the civilian population from the military warehouse and into thousands of households in his hands. ”
No wonder it can make a multimillionaire worship, it turns out to be so powerful.
Professor Sanderson laughed and said, "With so many ideas, he is undoubtedly the top salesman, and the most astute creative master of turning waste into treasure." ”
