Chapter 190: Money Printing Machine
The little devil communication soldier looked at Naosaburo Okabe, who was in a very happy mood, and couldn't wait to slap himself a few mouths, just now because he was flustered, he didn't explain his words, which caused Naosaburo Okabe to misunderstand his meaning.
The depressed little devil communication soldier looked at the happy Okabe Naosaburo, opened his mouth a few times, and wanted to explain the meaning of what he said just now, but the words that came to his mouth several times were swallowed back, so he had to bite the ball and walk outside the little devil headquarters with the excited Okabe Naosaburo.
On the way to the little devil barracks, many little devil officers already knew the news that the First Cavalry Brigade was almost wiped out, and everyone saw that Okabe Naosaburo, who was in a good mood, was very puzzled psychologically, wondering if his commander had gone crazy and became a little insane.
Many little devil officers saluted Okabe Naosaburo Lizheng, and they were very nervous, for fear of attracting Okabe Naosaburo's monstrous anger, but the situation was beyond everyone's expectations, all the officers who saluted Okabe Naosaburo, Okabe Naosaburo smiled and saluted, and when he saw Okabe Naosaburo salute in return, he thought in his heart, it's over, it's over, His Excellency the commander is insane.
The little devil communication soldier who led the way, seeing this scene, turned pale with fright, and was drenched in cold sweat, thinking in his heart that if Okabe Naosaburo knew the truth of the facts, he would definitely be furious, and all the anger at that time would definitely be vented on himself. But at this time, the little devil communication soldier no longer had the courage to explain the truth to Naosaburo Okabe.
It didn't take long for Okabe Naosaburo to come to the little devil's barracks, at this time the little devil's barracks was already a gloomy cloud, filled with a heavy atmosphere, several little devils' adjutants, silently standing aside, not far away, there were five or six hundred bloodstained, untidy little devils in the cavalry.
Naosaburo Okabe, who was still in a good mood, saw this scene and immediately roared with all his might, "Yaga, what the hell is going on?" Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on? ”
The few little devil officers next to him had gloomy faces, lowered their heads, and were silent. Okabe Naosaburo grabbed the chest of the little devil messenger just now, "snap, snap, snap" and slapped the little devil messenger a few times, and then asked loudly: "Yours, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
The little devil communication soldier with a pale face trembled, his teeth chattered up and down, and he didn't speak for a long time. The extremely angry Okabe Naosaburo pulled out his command knife in an uproar and chopped the little devil communication soldier alive, and the blood of the little devil communication was shed all over the ground.
The little devil officers next to him, seeing the hideous face of Okabe Naosaburo and the little devil communication soldier on the ground, who were already angry, immediately looked like they looked down and lowered their heads.
After Naosaburo Okabe finished chopping this little devil communication soldier, he took his blood-stained command knife, pointed at a little devil cavalry Shaozuo, and said sharply: "Yours, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
This little devil Shaozuo was so frightened that he trembled, and said a little unwittingly: "Your Excellency Commander, our First Cavalry Brigade, except for the 531 cavalry we fled back, the rest of the people are all broken, and our brigade commander, General Takashi, is also loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." After saying that, this little devil Shaozuo had a sad face, lowered his head very low, and didn't dare to look at Okabe Naosaburo at all, for fear of attracting the anger of Okabe Naosaburo, causing himself to end up with the same fate as the little devil communication soldier just now.
Listening to the words of this little devil Shaozao, Okabe Naosaburo's face was full of sadness, the first brigade of the cavalry, more than 10,000 elites, it was over. In order to preserve his strength, he put down the dignity of Emperor Ben [***], and ordered the First Cavalry Brigade to abandon Jining and retreat to Guisui, but he did not expect that he was finally surrounded and annihilated by the 36th Group Army.
Although there was no mistake in his own command, the strength of the 36th Army was still beyond his imagination, resulting in the almost total annihilation of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, which was his own shame and the shame of the Great Empire, and the biggest failure in his life, Okabe Naosaburo thought madly in his heart......
Datong, the next day.
On the bustling streets, many little newspaper boys held high the "Datong Newspaper" in their hands, and shouted excitedly while running: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the 36th Group Army has achieved a great victory, annihilated the First Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry, and recovered Jining City." ”
"Datong Yuebao" was a newspaper that was widely distributed in the base area a few months ago, and the number of copies in circulation every day was tens of thousands, and it stretched from Fengzhen in the north to Taiyuan in the south, and there were distribution points in all the county towns and some relatively large towns and villages in the base area.
In big cities, such as Datong, Taiyuan, Shuozhou, and other places, there are quite a few newsboys selling newspapers every day, and these newspapers are provided to the newsboys free of charge at the distribution points, and the newsboys then sell them to the people who buy the newspapers, and each newspaper charges a copper plate fee, and all the money earned from selling the newspapers goes to the newsboys who sell the newspapers, which not only solves the practical difficulties of many families, but also promotes the sales of newspapers.
As for the cost of printing and distributing newspapers, they mainly rely on advertising revenues, and "Datong Yuebao" has a large space for advertising, and various businesses can pay for advertisements in the newspapers, and this is the idea that Zhang Yunfei came up with, so that the printing and distribution of newspapers can basically be maintained, and if there is a loss, Zhang Yunfei will subsidize a little bit every month.
In the few months since its publication, Datong Yue Bao has been very popular with everyone, and it has grown from a few thousand copies a day at the beginning of its publication to nearly 20,000 copies a day now. A lot of current affairs news, anecdotes, and major events were published in the newspapers one by one in a timely manner, such as the annihilation of the First Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry and the recovery of Jining, and the "Datong Newspaper" devoted a full page to a detailed report, and on the front page, it also published a large photo of the Sixth Infantry Division entering the city.
Although many ordinary people in Datong heard the news of the 36th Group's victory yesterday, we are not very clear about the specific situation.
On the streets of Datong, a young man in a suit and holding a briefcase called a newspaper boy who sold newspapers next to him, bought a copy of "Datong Yuebao" and looked at it with relish.
In Taiyuan, some restaurants and tea shops, there are a large number of people talking, some people also take out a copy of the "Datong Newspaper" to look at it with relish, after reading it, and the people next to it, happy to discuss loudly, from time to time there is the sound of everyone laughing.
The great victory of the 36 th Group Army, through a detailed report in the "Datong Bao," aroused to a great extent everyone's enthusiasm for resisting the Japanese Command, and many young people in the base areas even went to the recruiting office of the group army to ask to join the army to fight the little devils.
This morning, Zhang Yunfei took an off-road vehicle to the headquarters, and saw that people on the street were competing to read the "Datong Newspaper", and some people even danced with their eyebrows, extremely excited.
When he arrived at the headquarters, Zhang Yunfei saw Fang Zheng and felt a little surprised, since Fang Zheng served as deputy director of the Political Department of the group army, the focus of his work was on the industrial construction of the base area, and he often went to the factory and the grassroots level, and appeared in the headquarters for relatively little time.
Fang Zheng saw Zhang Yunfei walking in with a spring breeze on his face, and immediately stood up and said: "Commander-in-chief, I have good news for you, the textile mills and flour mills in our Datong Industrial Park have entered the production stage in early May, and today, the production and sales in June have been counted, and the form is very gratifying." ”
In May, because it has just entered production, there are still a series of problems, many problems have not been straightened out, at the beginning of June, Founder had reported to Zhang Yunfei separately the situation of these two factories, at that time it was a small profit, but I did not expect that after a month of production, after straightening out various problems, into June, production and sales began to enter the blowout development stage.
Seeing that Fang Fang was happy, Zhang Yunfei thought that the situation of these two factories should be very good, so he was also interested all of a sudden, and said happily: "Old Fang, then you and I will tell me in detail how the situation of these two factories is." ”
"Yes! Chief, this month in June, the sales amount of the textile factory is 284,000 oceans, of which the profit is 89,000 oceans, the original social merchants are 500,000 oceans, that is, 50,000 shares, these shares account for 40 percent of the total shares of the factory, according to the original agreement, we have 60 percent of the total profits, that is, 53,400 oceans, and the social share capital accounts for 40 percent of the total profits, that is, 35,600 oceans, and this month's dividend per share is 0.72 oceans."
"These are just literal data, what is more pleasing is that the quality of cotton cloth produced by Datong Textile Factory is very good, the variety of colors is also very many, the price is half lower than the market price, there is a situation of short supply, and now the orders have been arranged to 3 months later, not only our base cloth merchants have placed a large number of orders, and the cloth merchants in other nearby provinces have also placed a lot of orders."
After listening to Fangzheng's introduction to the textile factory in Datong Industrial Park, Zhang Yunfei did not expect that the benefits would be so good, this is only the second month of production, if a few more months, the benefits will definitely be better, the formal form is gratifying, these two factories are simply money printing machines.
This time, not only does the army have development funds, but also provides a large number of employment opportunities, and the people's lives have also been further improved; in addition, the various businesses that bought shares at the beginning can now get more than 7 yuan per 10 shares every month, and as long as it takes a year, all the original investment can be recovered, and in the future, a lot of money can be distributed every month.
