Chapter 477: Leveraging the power to fight the black hand

"Brother Qin, I'm from Guizhou...... I'll tell you about it, our Guizhou is really barren and poor. But this is nothing, the poor always have a poor way to live. But the most angry thing is that there are many people in Guizhou who grow opium! ”

"In our place, opium smoke can really be said to have a 'long history', especially in the Panjiang River in southwest Guizhou, with the largest output and the best quality, and opium is exported, so it is collectively referred to as 'dam goods', which means the goods of Huangcaoba. Successive governments, sometimes banned, sometimes relaxed, Guizhou's commercial economy, tobacco and drug distribution, actually occupied a major position. Warlords, bandits, and bullies from all over the country manipulate and make profits, and businessmen traffick and flock to them. The vast number of poor people are forced to grow tobacco, and the more they grow, the poorer they become, and the poorer they grow, the more they grow, and it has become a vicious circle. ”

"More than 10 years ago, when my brother and I were discussing the ban on growing opium tobacco with people in our hometown, we came up with the idea of replacing opium tobacco with flue-cured tobacco. Four years ago, when I was appointed as a provincial commissioner, I tried to put this idea into practice. In the 27th year of the Republic of China, I invited Zhao Fazhi, who knew how to grow tobacco and smoke drying techniques from the Department of Agronomy of Southeast University in Nanjing, and personally took him to meet Ye Jiyuan, director of the Construction Department of the provincial government, and appointed him as the director of the provincial agricultural test field. After two years of trial and exploration, Zhao Fazhi basically mastered the skills of tobacco planting and baking, and built the first baking room in Guizhou. ”

"Last year, we established the Guizhou Enterprise Company to actively participate in the operation and development of tobacco, and allocated funds to the Provincial Agricultural Improvement Institute to test and promote flue-cured tobacco. In addition, the provincial government also attaches great importance to the development of the tobacco industry in the province, with instructions and instructions, documents, and constant contact letters, both administrative and export plans, methods of joint production with the United States, verification guidelines, and determination of grade standards. Especially last year, the relocated youth cigarette factory was built in Guiyang. Renamed Guizhou Tobacco Factory, our Guizhou enterprise company invested 200,000 yuan so that it could produce six or seven boxes of Yellow River brand cigarettes every month last year, which can be regarded as the end of the history of Guizhou's inability to produce cigarettes. ”

"Now, we plan to develop the tobacco industry into a major industry in Guizhou, and gradually promote the cultivation of flue-cured tobacco throughout the province. However, our provincial government is not your construction corps after all, although the scale of the tobacco factory has been expanded, but the people still prefer to grow grain...... Therefore, now we have no rice to cook, so we can only come to ask Brother Qin for help. ”

……

"That. How many strips are in six or seven boxes? ”

Competitors are not afraid. Especially after listening to He Yingrui's "complaints", Qin Wei couldn't help but show sympathy...... It takes two years to learn how to grow tobacco and bake? These people are indeed hard, at least more than him. He was just tired for a few nights, and while listening to Gu Changjun's nagging, he recorded those materials. Then hand it over to Xu Yuanju and others for testing. As for the rest, the equipment of the cigarette factory is ready-made. And they're all the best. The foreigner is responsible for the installation, and it doesn't take two months to start production after it is shipped, which is much easier than He Yingrui's gang. It's just that this scale of production...... Qin Wei was a little troublesome and didn't understand it. He used to buy cigarettes on bags, occasionally on articles, and never bought them on boxes. This month, six or seven boxes are produced, is it a lot?

"Yuxi's standard is 250 cigarettes in a box!" Heard Qin Wei ask. Xu Yuanju hurriedly replied. The Yuxi Cigarette Factory has been a cash cow for the Corps almost from the beginning, and he is no ordinary concern.

"250 in a box? Which one is 100 cigarettes? ”

"200 sticks." Xu Yuanju corrected.

"Yes, 200! In this way, a box is 50,000. Six or seven boxes, that is, 300,000 to 350,000 pieces. Qin Wei's face was difficult: "I said Fifth Brother, the output of your Guizhou Tobacco Factory ......"

"That's why we need to scale up." He Yingrui was also embarrassed. With a monthly output of six or seven boxes, this scale is really hard to say. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the output of cigarettes in Shanghai alone had reached more than 320,000 boxes per year, and the peak was more than 400,000 boxes! The Guizhou tobacco factory has a monthly output of six or seven boxes, and the annual output is less than 100 boxes, which is really worthy of the name of "Guizhou", one of the provinces in China.

"And how big are you now?" Qin Wei asked again.

"It is expected to reach 1,000 boxes per month." He Yingrui straightened his chest and said with a straight face.

"How many cartons can our cigarette factory in Yuxi produce per month?" Qin Wei asked Xu Yuanju again.

"If Seven Star is willing to sell the cigarette factory back, it can at least reach more than 5,000 cases per month, but this is mainly because it has only been put into production for a short time, and if it is proficient, the output should be able to increase, and it should reach the level of seven to 8,000 cases." Xu Yuanju hurriedly replied.

"It's cheap, surnamed Kong, no wonder he would rather spend it than sell the cigarette factory to Lao Tzu." Qin Wei's face was full of bitterness. Miscalculated. Cigarettes are a lucrative business, and Kong Xiangxi finally got the most advanced and highest-output machinery from him, of course, he is not happy to be busy in vain. Especially now that it is the war of the world, China's cigarette market is facing the impact of foreign cigarettes much less, how can Kong Xiangxi be willing to give up such a cash cow-like business?

"Brother Qin, as far as I know, Seven Star Company is now searching for tobacco everywhere, and the cigarette factory in Yuxi may not be back in operation before it will be reopened. At that point, your tobacco leaves will be even more unsellable. He Yingrui said again.

"How many tobacco leaves do we have now?" Qin Wei asked Xu Yuanju again.

"Sixteen thousand quintals!" Xu Yuanju said.

"I want them all." Without waiting for Qin Wei to speak, He Yingrui shouted hurriedly.

"Sir......" Xu Yuanju looked at Qin Wei in embarrassment. He didn't want to sell the tobacco at all, he wanted to get the cigarette factory back...... That's a cornucopia.

"Sell it." Qin Wei sighed, "I'll admit it this time." However, Fifth Brother Ji, you can buy my tobacco leaves, but you have to do me a favor. ”

"Brother, you say, I promise to do my best." He Yingrui patted his chest and said. He was glad in his heart. Guizhou is poor, and the officials have been forcing the people to grow opium, and finally in the past few years, they have finally eliminated a little, who is willing to grow those things that can't be eaten? Moreover, planting big tobacco and growing tobacco, this statement sounds similar, even if the people understand, they still have a lot of pimples in their hearts. They can continue to use heavy-handed tactics to force people to do what they want. But that's no longer the case. The influx of refugees into Guizhou alone is already a headache for them, and if the local people in Guizhou are disgusted, the society may be unstable. It's a responsibility they can't afford, and they don't want to. But then again, cigarettes are really not ordinary money-making, in his opinion, this thing is even more profitable than selling big cigarettes. Although it is a time of war, there are still too many people to smoke, and because of the loss of a large part of the country, tobacco in the southwest. In particular, there is a huge shortage of cigarette market. Of course, Guizhou Tobacco Factory should seize this opportunity. So, after hearing that there was an opportunity here, he came over after a little thought...... First, he has something to ask Qin Wei for help, and second. It's a rare opportunity to make a fortune.

"I heard that Fifth Brother Ji, you have a good relationship with the three banks of Communications, China, and Agriculture, and you have also dragged these three banks to Guizhou for investment?" Qin Wei asked again.

"I know a few people." He Yingrui looked at him. "Brother, you're looking for them?"

"Eh, during the war years, I asked for money everywhere." Qin Wei smiled bitterly.

"I said Brother Qin, what you said is not right." He Yingrui smiled: "I believe that others are short of money, but as for you, I don't believe it." ”

"I used to think I was quite rich. But I've been spending a lot of money lately. And the plate is also big," Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "I don't believe I'll count ...... with you."

"No, no, but I didn't mean you." He Yingrui shook his head and smiled: "Brother, when others look for a bank, they naturally ask for someone, but if you want to find it, as long as you send a word, no matter which bank it is, it will definitely rush to listen to you...... Why bother looking for me? ”

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay back the money by then, if there is a guarantee from the fifth brother, then it will be much easier for me or the bank." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"Brother Qin only needs to report his name, I'm afraid he can borrow millions from the bank, and he actually has to guarantee it......" He Yingrui glanced at Qin Wei carefully, "How much do you want?" ”

"It's not much, two or three hundred million fiat currencies should barely be enough."

“……”

****************************************************

"Y-You vouched for him?"

He Yingqin has been very busy lately, very busy, even busier than when he was at war with the Japanese. Although the Japanese promised to stop fighting for half a year and said that everyone should not make trouble with each other, this is not credible, and what should be arranged still has to be arranged, and in addition, the things that the Soviets can't take away are treasures that all departments of the national army can't get their hands on, and there are millions of troops who are not blushing. Although the final distribution power is still in the hands of Lao Jiang, He Yingqin's suggestion power is also extraordinary, and there are simply so many people who ask for it. Although he was the second-in-command of the Kuomintang army, some people could not be dismissed casually, and it was very troublesome to deal with. Unexpectedly, before the matter was over, my brother suddenly came to Chongqing, and brought such a trouble. And even with He Yingqin's knowledge, when he heard the amount of money Qin Wei intended to borrow, the whole person was frightened.

"How dare I?" He Yingrui smiled wryly, "Two or three hundred million, it's just 'reluctantly'!" Even if it's all fiat currency, I don't dare to take this stubble! ”

"That's good. Don't get involved in that kid's affairs at least......" He Yingqin breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease, but in the blink of an eye, he looked at He Yingrui and was unpleasant: "Why did you say you didn't have anything to do with Qin Wei?" I don't know if he can cause the most trouble? Others can't hide from that bastard, you're good, you dare to take the initiative to paste it? I really thought you were my brother, so he wouldn't dare to pit you? Let me tell you, even the chairman of the committee, he can do whatever he wants."

"Third brother, what you said is too exaggerated. Even the chairman of the committee dares to pit, you should be his ......" He Yingrui didn't believe it.

"His surname is Qin, his name is Qin Wei! From the chairman of the committee to me, I had a headache when I heard his name, but I was helpless against him. Do you understand? He Yingqin knocked on the table and shouted.

"Okay, good, he's amazing. But I'm not looking for trouble, I'm going to say nice things. He Yingrui said: "Besides, I'm also the right thing." On the one hand, cigarette factories need raw materials, and Guizhou also wants to build pharmaceutical factories...... In China, who is missing in this matter, and he can't be missing someone Qin, right? ”

"Then you won't send someone else?" He Yingqin was still dissatisfied. As a native of Guizhou, it is naturally indispensable to the development of Guizhou, not to mention the two most profitable industries, medicine and cigarettes. But then again, even if it's to make money, you can't provoke Qin Wei, a broom star.

"Others have to be qualified." He Yingrui smiled bitterly, "What's more, since the establishment of the Independent Commission for Integrity in Yunnan, the whole of Guizhou has been afraid of Qin Wei, for fear that he will also get a ...... in Guizhou And this meeting, if it doesn't get it right, it offends him like Lu Han's gang, but it is the public enemy of the whole Guizhou. ”

"Who is to blame for my own injustice?" He Yingqin snorted coldly, but unfortunately he was a little lacking in confidence...... He himself is not afraid, but he, He Yingrui and his two brothers are all staying in Guizhou, and they have lived quite a good time over the years, not to mention anything else, the biggest landlord in Guizhou is their family. Although he believes that even if Guizhou establishes an Independent Commission Against Corruption, it is impossible to take the initiative to provoke him, but what if someone is jealous of the luck of the He family? If Qin Wei's kid also falls on evil energy, he really may not be able to hold it. Although it is not unlucky, it is almost certain that he will be swept in the face. And at this point, isn't it just a face to live?

"Third brother, now is not the time to talk about this. Qin Wei is still waiting for me to reply to him......" He Yingrui said again.

"What's the reply?" He Yingqin asked rhetorically.

"Didn't I vouch for him, he wants you to come forward! Let me ask. He Yingrui said embarrassedly.

"Are you stupid? If you can't do it, can I do it? He Yingqin was angry: "Don't think! ”

"But he said he wanted you to say yes!" He Yingrui was embarrassed: "And he also said that if you can get a loan, the fathers and elders of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces can benefit......"

"Don't press me with this. He hopes for it, and he benefits when he says it benefits? This is two or three hundred million, two or three hundred million, he should be as simple as two or three oceans? He Yingqin jumped like thunder, "Why didn't he go directly to Kong Xiangxi?" The Kong family owes him 10 million pounds, which is enough for everything. ”

That's what he came up with...... I want to use this arrears of the Kong family as collateral! He Yingrui whispered.

“…… Mortgage? He Yingqin's anger was retracted, and his face instantly became solemn.

"Hmm." He Yingrui also nodded solemnly.

"Sizzle-" He Yingqin gasped slightly, "This kid's methods are getting darker and darker!" The four major banks are now in Song Ziwen's hands, he wants Song Ziwen to help him find Kong Xiangxi for revenge, and he also brought Lao Tzu's ...... by the way" (to be continued......
