Chapter 57: Liu Xiang's Visit
As soon as Mike left, Doberman brought an unexpected person, and as soon as he entered the office, he shouted loudly: "Ge Laozi, Xiao Lizi's foreign store is so beautiful." I want to stay here and never leave. ”
Li Tie looked up and saw that it was the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang who he met on the cruise ship. Li Tie hurriedly got up to welcome: "It turned out that Brother Liu Xiang came to the cold house. It really makes this foreign company shine. ”
"I found that you kid had a sweet mouth on the ship, and now he is even more harmful, and he poured me soup as soon as we met." Liu Xiang sat on the sofa generously, drinking strong tea and not forgetting to make fun of Li Tie.
"Isn't Brother Liu in Guangzhou? How can you have time to visit Shanghai? Li Tie asked with concern.
"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!" Liu Xiang found that the Dubin beside him was very angry, and watched Dubin stop speaking halfway through.
Du Bin just wanted to turn around and leave, Li Tie stopped Du Bin and said to Liu Xiang: "Big brother has something to say, although he really said, all the people in this room are his own people." ”
Du Bin looked at Li Tie with great appreciation, and took the initiative to stand behind Li Tie and watch the two talk.
Liu Xiang didn't care, and went straight to the topic: "Brother Li said that he wanted to ask you for help if he was in trouble, and now that my brother is in trouble, he will naturally come to you." ”
"Oh, Brother Liu has something to say directly, but if the younger brother can help, he will definitely help."
"Well, first of all, I want to reintroduce myself, I am not a businessman Liu Xiang, but the commander of the Second Army of Sichuan, and the future king of Sichuan Liu Xiang in my brother's mouth." Liu Xiang said solemnly.
"Ah, I said why Brother Liu's fate is so peculiar, obviously he is a noble and wealthy person, why do you only say that you have a small family wealth on the ship. It turned out that Brother Liu was so bitter that my brother was so miserable, which made me think that I was not good at mathematics in life. Of course, Li Tie has to pretend to be confused.
"Haha, where is there any appearance of great wealth and wealth, but there is a look of anxiety." Liu Xiang smiled wryly.
"Oh, Brother Liu said to hear it."
"It all started with the fact that our anti-Yang alliance had just defeated Yang Sen more than two months ago. At that time, the four commanders of our anti-Yang alliance were of equal strength, and everyone was in urgent need of allies.
Therefore, I arrived in Canton first and had talks with Commander Chiang of the Nationalist Government and all the important officials of the Nationalist Government. Next year I will support them in the Northern Expedition, and they will support me in dominating Sichuan.
I had only been in Guangzhou for seven days, and suddenly I received an emergency call from home, and the situation in Sichuan was suddenly unstable. Not only are the armed forces of ethnic minorities in the area under their jurisdiction ready to move, but the surrounding armies of Yunnan and Guizhou are frequently mobilized. Even in my hometown of Chengdu, there are many careerists who want to seize my power.
Several warlords in the alliance who are of equal strength to me still want to join forces to annex me, but they are afraid that there is no good excuse, and my home defense is good. I have never been able to find a chance to start, and at the same time, I don't know the attitude of the Nationalist Government towards me, so I have not been able to do it for a long time.
Before I left, I boasted that I would buy 10,000 spears from the Nationalist Government. Fortunately, the Nationalist Government doesn't have any extra guns to sell me.
At the same time, several other forces also sent representatives to Guangzhou to contact important members of the Nationalist Government. Today's Guangzhou Nationalist Government is undecided as to which of us will be in charge of Sichuan.
Fortunately, both Commander Chiang and Minister Song supported me. Only then did I come to Shanghai with confidence, hoping to buy some arms and transport them back to Sichuan.
Who knows, the arms dealers in Shanghai have recently gone crazy, and the price has more than doubled compared with the past. I only brought a million silver dollars, and at the old price I could buy at least five thousand guns and two hundred thousand rounds of ammunition.
I can't even buy 3,000 guns. Moreover, when I came out this time, I not only wanted to buy 3,000 spears for myself, but also 2,000 guns for my two division commanders.
Now, if I had bought only 3,000 guns, they would have thought that I had stolen their goods. Not only will I not be able to do it as a military commander, but I am afraid that I will not even be able to save my life.
I asked around and wanted to borrow money and goods on credit, but who knew that the Shanghai compradors, who had a good relationship, did not give arms on credit at all. On the contrary, Japan's Yamato & Co. was willing to give me a batch of arms on credit.
But I do need to use the minerals of this province as a countervail. Little Japanese wolf ambition, spicy mother, even if I die, I won't sell a cent of land to these turtle sons. ”
"Well, that's a good point." Liu Xiang said impassionedly. Li Tie listened carefully from the audit and applauded Liu Xiangning for not betraying the interests of the motherland if he died.
"Brother Liu, don't say anything else. Just tell me how many arms you want, and I'll satisfy you. Li Tie decided to sell arms to Liu Xiang on the spot.
"Really. But I don't have much money. "Liu Xiang.
"No matter how much you want, I'll give it to you on credit." Li Tiehao was angry.
"Then, Brother Li has to talk about it, and he can't regret what he says. If you really look up to your brother, give him 5,000 guns on credit, and when your brother is developed in the future, he will pay you back double, no, ten times. Seeing that the most difficult thing has an eyebrow, Liu Xiang is also very excited.
"Haha, big brother forgot, don't forget, I'll look at it. Investing in the future king of Sichuan, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I regret it.
Well, I'll give you 10,000 guns and 2,000,000 bullets. You go back though open to use. When it runs out, you can send someone to me to get it. ”
Anyway, there are more than 50,000 rifles on the Yamato Pill, and there are countless bullets, so supporting Liu Xiang is exactly what Li Tie wants.
"How can this be done. Although the elder brother has a big family and a big business, he can't stand such a loser. Being able to give me arms on credit is already the greatest help to me. In this way, I will use the Sichuan minerals in my jurisdiction to resist you.
We are poor in Sichuan, and we don't have any decent minerals, so my brother likes it, just tell me. Liu Xiang didn't want to take advantage of Li Tie.
Li Tie shirked with a smile: "Big brother doesn't believe in my vision anymore, so let's do it, I'll make a bet with you." ”
"What bet?" Liu Xiang was very puzzled.
"I bet that you will become the unique king of Sichuan within ten years."
"Okay, I'll agree, but even if I become the king of Sichuan in ten years. Will it take 10 years for me to pay you back? We don't make this kind of cheapness.
You just say that I can only sell you arms to me if I use to resist you, brotherly affection, brother, I understand it. But I won't ask for your arms. "Liu Xiang is really temperamental.
"Okay, since Brother Liu is so insistent, it's better to be like this, the arms I wanted to send you just now are not bad, and at the same time, I will fully support you if you ask me for arms in the future.
I only ask for all the mineral mining rights in your jurisdiction, and at the same time, all the enterprises of my Huaxing Foreign Bank, whether they are operating in Sichuan or passing through Sichuan, please also ask Brother Liu to raise your noble hand and make it convenient. ”
"What kind of condition is this? Don't worry, I will confess as soon as I go back, as long as the business of your Huaxing Foreign Bank will be released, no one is allowed to eat and take a card, otherwise the military law will be punished. ”
"Okay, as soon as I say it, I will soon carry out the business of Huaxing Shipping Company to Chongqing. At the same time, I will also invest in Sichuan, so it is better to give Brother Liu five points of dry shares in the minerals I develop. At the same time, we have to pay a lot of taxes, how about it?"
"Brother Li is very calculating, if I become your shareholder, who will dare to collect your taxes? But I like your proposal, and I agree with it. But if I can't become the king of Sichuan, your investment will be in vain. Liu Xiang said.
"It's okay, I, Li Tie, are so poor now that I only have money left."
Liu Xiang heard what Li Tie said funny, and the two had an in-depth discussion on how to work together. At the same time, he also exchanged views on the future situation between Sichuan and China, and whenever he talked about the key points, Li Tie often hit the nail on the head, which made Liu Xiang look at Li Tie a few times.
The two sides are almost done. Li Tie asked again, "When does Brother Liu plan to return to Sichuan?" ”
"The sooner the better, of course." Liu Xiang was also in a hurry.
"Well, this batch of munitions. I'll bring you in from Japan, and it will arrive in a week, but if it takes too long to buy from Germany, I'm afraid it will delay your big event, how about it? ”
"That's a good relationship, you don't know, I've been in Shanghai for almost a month. It wasn't until the past few days that I didn't know that you had made a great name in Hong Kong, or I wouldn't have remembered your Huaxing Foreign Company. ”
"Haha, this is called a meeting of thousands of miles. In this way, I will make a banquet for Brother Liu tonight, you can go back to Sichuan, and in a week, I will arrange for the ship to send the arms directly to your jurisdiction, and you only need to arrange the person who receives the goods. ”
When Liu Xiang heard this, he raised his hands in agreement.
That night, Li Tie and Mike hosted a banquet for Liu Xiang and his party. Both sides are naturally happy with the guests and hosts. Liu Xiang also recognized Li Tie, his godbrother. Liu Xiang became more and more convinced of Li Tie's fate, and asked Li Tie to help him calculate his future fortune and lifespan.
Li Tie pretended to be very embarrassed, and finally told Liu Xiang that he was rich and noble, but he only had a lifespan of half a hundred.
When Liu Xiang heard this, he was shocked, now that he is thirty-seven years old, it doesn't mean that he only has thirteen years to live. In fact, in the original time and space, Liu Xiang did die of illness at the age of fifty.
Li Tie just wanted to scare him so that he could make some plans for the future arrangement, and sure enough, Liu Xiang asked Li Tie to calculate for him how to break this mortal situation.
It turned out that Li Tie made this strange trick in order to let Liu Xiang get less blood in the future Erliu Civil War and the Kuomintang and Communist Civil War. Tell Liu Xiang that he came to be rich and noble and long-lived, but unfortunately he killed too many people in the civil war in his life.
Originally, Liu Xiang was the reincarnation of the killing star, and no matter how many people he killed, it would not cost his life, but Li Tie calculated that he would meet someone who should not be killed in the future. It was because he repeatedly killed people who should not be killed that he ended up dying countless times.
When Liu Xiang heard this, the eight-foot man actually howled and cried, he had killed countless people in the more than ten years of conquest in Sichuan. How does he know who should kill and who should not be killed, and besides, he bought these arms to go back to fight the country, how can he not fight, and how can there be immortals in war?
Li Tie told him that those people in Sichuan wanted to be unfavorable to him, and that he was the reincarnation of a killing star, and killing these people would not cost his life.
But if he meets someone who hasn't provoked him, and he kills him, then there will be endless troubles. And Li Tie calculated that in the next few years, he may encounter such a major event, and it was this major event that caused him to lose his birthday.
Liu Xiang hurriedly asked what was the matter, and Li Tie only said that the secret of heaven should not be leaked. Otherwise, it won't break.
Liu Xiang asked Li Tie to help break the game, and Li Tie told him. The dead end he encountered was a room-mate, and only then could he choose to avoid it and solve it.
Liu Xiang is strange, how to avoid it? And how do you know that the time has come? Li Tie pretended to think for a long time and said, "That's it, I'll write a pair of words, and you can put it away." If you see the same pair of words in the future, it means that the killing game has arrived, and then you have to think about killing less. ”
"Okay, brother, hurry up and write." Liu Xiang hurriedly urged.
Li Tie picked up the pen he carried, found a piece of hard paper, and wrote four words: "Why the hurry." ”
Liu Xiang took the word and asked strangely, "Don't you want to say that my enemy is my brother?" ”
Li Tie smiled and didn't answer: "You can take it back." Don't let anyone see it. Just wait a few years, when it's time for you to die, someone will naturally give you the same pair. Don't forget what I told you when you arrive, don't miss the only chance to survive.
"Don't worry, whoever dares to kill indiscriminately, I will kill his head." Liu Xiang, who finally got Li Tie's promise, seemed to have gotten a talisman. Place the piece of paper close to your body.
The two sides continued to drink and talk. Liu Xiang let Li Tie know again. They Sichuan people can not only eat spicy food, but also drink it very well, Liu Xiang frequently raised his glass, until Li Tie was put down.
