After some bargaining, the two sides finally reached a mutually acceptable price, the Datong Party got the workers they wanted, and Yan Xishan also took the opportunity to make a profit, and by the way, he used the money he had just earned to buy the Central Army equipment captured by the Datong Party.

After talking about the completion of the human and weapons matters, the two sides began to negotiate more intimate cooperation, this time mainly some normal business dealings.

When he heard that the Datong Party wanted to open some shops in his own territory to do small business, Yan Xishan had some doubts, but he still did not refuse, after all, he had just received very big benefits from the Datong Party, and it was not good to turn around and turn his face.

However, he still carefully asked the Datong Party what shops he was going to open, and Cheng Yun said with a smile that it was just some gadgets, such as cigarettes, alcohol and accessories, etc., and by the way, he bought a little grain and shipped it back to the Soviet area.

Although Yan Xishan did not know where the Datong Party got these goods, he still agreed, and generously reduced taxes for the Datong Party, and only needed to pay taxes once.

If it were not for this, the people's revolution of the Datong Party would not have succeeded so easily, and wherever it went, it would have quickly pulled up a military force until it had destroyed the old warlords.

After discussing the approximate business cooperation, Yan Xishan, Cheng Yun and the others drank happily, happy as if they were old friends, and the two sides held hands. Laughter can be heard in the distance.

The next day, after they sobered up, they discussed the specific transportation methods in the transaction, and Yan Xishan was not worried that the troops of the Datong Party would enter his territory, so he only asked the Datong Party to help transport the weapons and equipment to the Yellow River, and then he sent someone to pick them up.

As for the transportation of the workers, the Datong Party sent a small number of staff, and Yan Xishan used troops to help the Datong Party transport them to the junction of the two armies, and the Datong Party itself was responsible for the final journey.

Yan Xishan strictly controlled the Datong Party personnel who entered Jinsui, and Cheng Yun and the others couldn't say anything, as long as they could complete the transaction between the two parties. Now the Datong Party is not what it used to be. There is no fear of Yan Xishan's deception.

While weapons transportation and worker transport were in full swing, Xi Zhongxun, under the leadership of Cheng Yun, established the first Datong Party store in Shanxi in Taiyuan, located directly in an attic in the center of the city. Or Yan Xishan in order to show goodwill. Specially "given" to the Datong Party.

Say it's a send. In fact, it is just a mortgage for the purchase of weapons and equipment, and when it can be done without spending money, Yan Xishan, an old pick, tries not to spend money.

Choose the address of the store. The first batch of goods was also sent from the rear, and in order to ensure the absolute safety of the goods, Yan Xishan allowed the Datong Party to escort them for the first time, but the number of armed personnel was still suppressed within one company, and Yan Xishan could not accept any more.

After crossing the Yellow River and heading east to Linfen, the convoy took a train north to Taiyuan to transport boxes of goods to shops in the center of the city.

When the cargo arrived, half of the armed men in charge of the escort were left behind as security personnel, while the rest returned the same way.

After careful renovation, the first store named as a five-star shop was finally opened, and Yan Xishan, in order to show his attention, not only brought the civil and military officials to congratulate him on the opening day, but even invited the famous people of Taiyuan City to come over.

Those celebrities are all landlords and gentry, and they have always thought that the Datong Party is a demon and monster who eats people and does not spit out bones, where can they dare to come to see the shops opened by the Datong Party, but they are afraid that Yan Xishan has the military power, so they reluctantly come.

When the store opened, the whole shop was draped in red and hung with red firecrackers.

After the firecrackers were released, the team led by Yan Xishan arrived in time, and through the smoke of the firecrackers that had not yet dispersed, Yan Xishan took the lead in walking to Xi Zhongxun, who was located at the door, and said: "Boss Xi, congratulations, Yan is here to cheer you on today." ”

"Mr. Yan's arrival suddenly made my small shop flourish, please please inside." Xi Zhongxun said polite words, turned sideways and raised his hand, and led Yan Xishan and the others into the store.

Entering the store, Yan Xishan and the others were obviously bright-eyed, they really didn't expect that the Datong Party, which has always been known as a dumpling, had so many exquisite goods in their hands. I saw that in the store, there were several rows of shelves neatly arranged, each of which was made of fine rosewood, and the shelves were inlaid with glass without a trace of impurities, and inside were beautifully packaged goods, including fine wine, cigarettes, gold and silver ornaments, and jade and jade.

Although the packaging of fine wine and cigarettes is exquisite, they have never seen the brand, and they don't know whether it is good or bad, but the gold and silver jewelry and jade jade, with the old spicy of Yan Xishan and others, can be seen to be all high-quality, I don't know how many times better than the ones on the market, all of them are priceless, no wonder the Datong Party will change from a turtle to a handsome and rich in an instant.

Looking at their sluggish appearance, although Xi Zhongxun was proud in his heart, he didn't show it at all, but took everyone to visit the goods in the shop and introduced them one by one.

"Mr. Yan, I know that Shanxi Fenjiu is particularly famous, except for Fenjiu, other drinks may not be able to enter Mr. Yan's eyes, but the Moutai liquor in our five-star shop also has a different flavor, presumably the boss should not refuse." As he spoke, Xi Zhongxun asked people to bring out wine glasses, and one person poured them a glass.

After Moutai was opened, the strange aroma of the wine spread all over everyone's noses, and of course they understood that it was a good wine, so they didn't need to say much about Zhongxun, so they tasted it with a wine glass, and then applauded, but some people still thought that their own Fenjiu was better.

In this regard, Xi Zhongxun didn't care, but continued to introduce, picked up a pack of beautifully packaged Chinese cigarettes and introduced them, and distributed them to everyone while introducing them, and finally took out a delicate zippo lighter and lit it for them.

Although Chinese cigarettes are much better than the cigarettes on the current market, the group is more concerned about the zippo lighter in the hands of Xi Zhongxun, they never thought that the lighter could be made like this, and they can't help but want to buy a collection and play with it.

After introducing a few cigarettes, Xi Zhongxun introduced the cigars, which are the best Cuban cigars in the world.

Compared with ordinary cigarettes, Yan Xishan and others are obviously more interested in cigars, this kind of thing from foreign countries, under the psychology of admiring foreign countries, no matter what it is, it is considered the best, not to mention that Xi Zhongxun took out Cuban cigars.

Moreover, when smoking cigars, there is a complicated set of procedures, which makes people have a sense of superiority in pretending to be B, especially in line with the psychology of those around Yan Xishan who think they are superior, as if they are really nobler than others.

Introducing the perfect wine and cigarettes, Xi Zhongxun then led the crowd to visit the gold and silver jewelry and jade jade, this time Xi Zhongxun's knowledge level is not as good as these nobles who like to play jade and jade when they have nothing to do, so they can only pick out a few pieces for them to taste.

In the end, of course, there are more than the first things in the five-star shops, such as precious tea, perfumes, stockings, etc., when Li Keji was preparing these things, what he wanted was to go to the mid-to-high-end market, do everything possible to squeeze the wealth of the upper class in Shanxi, and take the lead in obtaining an unbreakable alliance with these upper class people.

Sure enough, after a cursory visit, not only the landlord comprador brought by Yan Xishan, but even the civil and military officials under him liked the goods in the five-star shops very much, but they were almost out of stock on the first day, among which tobacco and alcohol were the most.

After the market opened on the first day, the business of the five-star shops became better and better, not only the entire Shanxi region was proud of the boutiques with five-star shops, but even the merchants of nearby Hebei Province also heard the news.

With such a good beginning, the Datong Party immediately gained contact with the middle and upper classes in Shanxi, and in the following period of time began to cooperate more closely, the Datong Party asked them to buy all kinds of raw materials, and they bought those luxury goods and some things they wanted to buy but could not buy from the Datong Party.

With the extension of time, the Datong Party is no longer just a five-star shop in Taiyuan, but has opened one five-star chain store after another in major counties, specializing in the exquisite goods provided by the Datong Party, and completely monopolizing the luxury goods of the entire Jinsui for a time.

At the beginning, Yan Xishan was also careful to guard against what the Datong Party was doing in his territory, and finally found that the Datong Party not only did not make small moves, but provided him with a lot of taxes, so he gradually relaxed, and the supervision of the Datong Party was not as strict as it was at the beginning.

At this time, as there were more and more vested interests, Yan Xishan wanted to strictly control the Datong Party, but the Jin merchants under him did not agree. Not only did he not agree, but he asked Yan Xishan to be more lenient with the Datong Party and not to be so strict, which would only hinder economic exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.

The Jin merchants were Yan Xishan's strategic partners, and most of his military spending came from the Jin merchants, although they had guns, they did not dare to provoke these ancestors too much, although they had to relax the restrictions on the Datong Party, so that the Datong Party could more easily carry out business activities in the Jinsui area.

When the Jin merchants made a lot of money, the officers under Yan Xishan couldn't help but blush, because Yan Xishan himself was also a big businessman, his subordinates almost had the habits of merchants.

The officers of the Jin Sui Army not only have the habits of merchants, but sometimes they will learn to do some business from merchants, on the one hand, they can enrich themselves, and on the other hand, they can barely subsidize the military. After all, military spending has always been very tight, and breaking the sound is a common thing, if you can earn a little money to supplement the troops, it will play a very important role in buying people's hearts.

What's more, after Yan Xishan got the cheap equipment sold to him by the Datong Party, the army was expanded, and the military budget was even tighter than before, and sometimes it was a problem to eat. (To be continued......)
