Volume 2 Chapter 075 Entering the Jin Sui Five
Tragedy, yesterday Qingming went to sweep the tomb, but it rained heavily and caught a cold, and today I almost broke the net for a day, and I was dizzy......
――――――
When Yan Xishan and the Datong Party were playing the game of silence, the Jin merchants, who had been prosperous during this time, fell into an economic crisis at this time, and everyone didn't know what was going on, as if most of their wealth had disappeared in an instant.
In this case, the Jin merchants immediately thought of going to the Datong Party, not because they thought that the Datong Party was in the way, but because of the cooperation during this time, and unconsciously, the Jin merchants had surrendered to the economic means of the Datong Party.
What Jin Shang didn't expect was that when they found Xi Zhongxun, the head of the Datong Party in Taiyuan, Xi Zhongxun was leading people to pack up their belongings, as if they were preparing to move away.
Seeing this situation, the Jin merchants were full of questions in their hearts, and they asked one after another: "Boss Xi, who are you?" ”
Looking at the group of Jin businessmen who were questioning in front of him, Xi Zhongxun did not answer their questions, but spread his hands, saying that as they saw, the Datong Party was preparing to leave Taiyuan, so the Jin businessmen had to ask why, after following the Datong Party and getting a lot of benefits, they were no longer as hostile to the Datong Party as they were at the beginning, but hoped to follow the Datong Party to eat and drink spicy.
Seeing the sad expressions of the Jin merchants, Xi Zhongxun reluctantly put down the things in his hand and said to them: "Boss Cai, Boss Li, it's not that we want to leave, it's just that we are not welcome in Jin and Sui." ”
"Boss Xi, what do you say?" Hearing Xi Zhongxun's words, the Jin merchants led by Cai Li all rushed to wonder, how could they not welcome the Datong Party, they may have had no contact with it before, but now they can't wait to get closer to the Datong Party.
"Some time ago, our party issued a "Statement to the National Compatriots to Resist Japan" to the whole country, and Boss Cai and Boss Li all know it, right?" Xi Zhongxun asked deliberately.
Hearing this, the Jin merchants hurriedly nodded, how could they not know about this statement. Even though it was a military telegram sent to a warlord in China, they could receive it by themselves if they got a radio station themselves, and even if they didn't have a radio station, they could hear it from other sources. It's just that they are a little puzzled about how Xi Zhongxun brought up the statement at this time.
At this time, Xi Zhongxun then said: "Boss Cai and Boss Li should know that our party has always taken it as its own responsibility to resist Japan and save the country, and this time I went to Jinsui to open up commercial projects, on the one hand, to accumulate anti-Japanese materials in the future, and on the other hand, to find a route to enter the Northeast." For this purpose. Our party has tried its best to exhaust its financial resources, and it thought that it had established a good cooperative relationship with Jinsui and Sui, so it would propose a loan to Jinsui and Sui at this time. Helplessly, Mr. Yan is still guided by his own interests, and is unwilling to borrow the way to give my party ......"
The Jin merchants all know about the things they borrow, but they are not warlords, and they don't care about the various interests in it, as businessmen, their only consideration is how to make money. They don't care who they pay their taxes to, as long as they don't touch their bottom line.
Now listening to Xi Zhongxun's eloquent story, they understand that it is not for nothing that the Datong Party went to Jinsui to do business. Just to open up a route to the northeast, now that Yan Xishan does not take the road, the Datong Party wants to find another way.
The Jin merchants didn't know what the other methods of the Datong Party were, but they all thought of the same thing. So Qi Qi looked at Xi Zhongxun in shock and said, "Boss Xi, your party won't be a civilian, and you're going to come to martial arts, right?" ”
"Boss Cai, Boss Li, don't worry, our party's slogan is 'stop the civil war. How can it be possible to go back on its word? Looking at the frightened Jin merchants, Xi Zhongxun still had a professional smile.
Although the Jin merchants did not believe what Xi Zhongxun said, for them, the slogan was just a slogan after all, and it was okay to shout, but what they really wanted to do was just a fool. However, they are not afraid of the Datong Party coming over, and even some expect the Datong Party to be in charge of Jinsui, and then they can carry out various business cooperation with the Datong Party more freely.
Unlike other provinces, Shanxi has very little land, so the number of landlords who rely on land to make a fortune is relatively small, and the vast majority of wealthy people started out in business and are not very dependent on land.
In this case, the Jin merchants were not too afraid of the Datong Party's land reform policy, and compared to the wealth earned from business cooperation with the Datong Party, the rent collected from the land was only a drop in the bucket.
During this period of cooperation with the Datong Party, the Jin businessmen have learned that the Datong Party does not reject commercial behavior, and even actively encourages the national capitalists in the base areas to increase commercial investment, and as long as they do not make black money and exploit the workers are not too frenzied, the Datong Party can accept it.
In the words of the Datong Party, this is called uniting all forces that can be united, and at present we should concentrate all our forces to drive out the aggressor of Little Japan.
So in a sense, these businessmen are now natural allies of the Datong Party, and they can actively fight for them.
Seeing that the Datong Party was getting stronger and stronger, and it was very likely that it would take power in China in the future, the Jin merchants were still complacent that they could become allies of the Datong Party. It's just that they never thought that the Datong Party would want to evacuate Jinsui at this time, and the reason was just that Yan Xishan was unwilling to give the Datong Party an excuse.
As soon as the Datong Party left, the economic cooperation established with the Jin merchants ceased to exist, and Cai Li and others understood why their wealth seemed to evaporate in half in an instant, and the reason was on the Datong Party.
At this moment, they realized that they had unknowingly sat on the economic chariot of the Datong Party, and as long as the Datong Party collapsed or left, they would also be unlucky.
Although they have a feeling of being cheated by the Datong Party after learning this, they are still happy to think of the wealth they have earned behind the Datong Party.
Knowing what happened, Cai Li and other Jin businessmen naturally would not easily amplify the departure of the same party, and they were used to following the Datong Party to pick up cheap, and if they wanted to give up like this, no one would agree.
At present, Cai Li and other Jin businessmen have persuaded Xi Zhongxun not to leave, they support 100% of the matter of resisting Japan and saving the country, and leaving the matter of borrowing the Tao to them will definitely allow Yan Xishan to unify the suggestions of the Datong Party.
Seeing that things were going as expected, although Xi Zhongxun was excited, he still played the show to the end, and pretended to be embarrassed for a long time before agreeing that Cai Li and other Jin merchants would not leave for the time being.
Temporarily stabilized Xi Zhongxun, Cai Li and the others hurriedly went to find Yan Xishan, the current time is money for them, and if they waste a little more time, they will make less business, and they don't want to waste a little bit of it.
After finding Yan Xishan, Cai Li and the others were inconvenient to say their intentions directly, so they said in a roundabout way: "Chief Yan, now there is a wave of resistance against Japan in the country, it can be seen that the anti-Japanese trend has become unstoppable, it is when businessmen such as me contribute to the country, and Chief Yan and other businessmen contribute to the country, why has Chief Yan not moved at all now?" ”
Jin Shang has always been Yan Xishan's biggest rich man, and when he has time, he often contacts his feelings, and when he sees them coming together today, Yan Xishan is kind to entertain him, but he didn't expect Cai Li and others to say such a thing as soon as they opened their mouths.
Yan Xishan knows Cai Li and others very well, this group of businessmen who have gotten into the eyes of money, except for money, don't care about anything else at all, and now they have said the words of resisting Japan and saving the country for the first time, if it weren't for the people standing in front of him who are familiar people, he would have thought that the Datong Party had come to him.
Cai Li and the others were unusual, Yan Xishan naturally knew that it was not unusual, so he deliberately said: "Boss Cai, Boss Li, it seems that he has been in a good mood recently, and he is actually concerned about national affairs." ”
"Now that the country is in a critical period of survival, what can you do if you don't care? After all, there is a country to have a home. If the country didn't exist, wouldn't we, ordinary businessmen, become fish and meat on the board of the Japanese, and no one would want to go to that kind of life. ”
"Hehe, that's what I said, just look at the Northeast people and the Northeast Army today to know what the situation is after the fall of the country." Yan Xishan also laughed.
"Since Chief Yan knows this truth, why haven't you prepared until now, you must know that once the Japanese army invades China in an all-out way, we will bear the brunt of it in Jinsui and Sui."
"It's difficult, it's not that you guys don't know, our Jin Sui is not rich in the first place, and the little army that is barely equipped can't stop the tiger and wolf soldiers of the Japanese invaders at all." Yan Xishan sighed and said that this was already an excuse that almost all the warlords in the country had made for themselves.
"We are both townsmen, we all understand Chief Yan's difficulties, but this time didn't the Datong Party openly borrow from Chief Yan, why didn't Chief Yan let them go over and fight with the Japanese? You must know that the only one who can still defeat the Japanese now may be the Datong Party. ”
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Yan Xishan's eyes, it turned out that he was waiting for him here, originally he wondered why Cai Li and the others were abnormal, but now he finally knew where the crux was, Cai Li and the others were here to be lobbyists for the Datong Party.
It's just that he is still very strange, Cai Li and others he knows very well, these people only have money in their eyes, how can they be lobbyists for the Datong Party, could it be that they have been bribed by the Datong Party with money.
This thought flashed in his heart, Yan Xishan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind him, Cai Li and other Jin merchants were not ordinary cats and dogs, a little money could not impress them at all, and now the Datong Party actually drove them to give lectures, and the cost must be an astonishing amount.
With so much money, the Datong Party can not only buy Cai Li and other Jin merchants, but even the Jin Suijun in his hands.
However, since cooperating with the Datong Party, he has been paying careful attention to everything, and the whereabouts of the Datong Party are all in his intelligence network. (To be continued......)
