Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 158 - Retreat as Advance (I)
Early the next morning, Wu Ming knocked on the door of Yu Jishi's office, and Yu Jishi seemed to know that Wu Ming was coming, and asked if things were going well in Shanghai.
Wu Ming was naturally not stupid, and added a sentence after replying that it was going well: "Thank you for your great help, otherwise we will definitely not be able to get the production license for grenades and mortar shells, and we will have to be like a thief, worrying about being reported every day." ”
Yu Jishi said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me for this, if you want to thank you, thank General Chen Cixiu, he said a lot of good things for you, and the people of the Ordnance Industry Department reluctantly tested those samples, and the results surprised them, in the words of General Yu Dawei: I didn't expect that the small local security regiment repair institute could make such exquisite craftsmanship and outstanding performance."
"But I must also admit that although the mortar shells you make are good, the cost is a little high, one-third higher than that of the Jinling factory, and I am afraid that not many people are willing to pay for them."
Wu Ming didn't care at all: "We mainly produce grenades, and the bodies of mortar shells are carefully processed with imported American gray iron, and the cost is naturally high, so keep it for your own use, anyway, we will produce thousands of rounds a year, and we can't waste much money." ”
Yu Jishi made a phone call, and then pulled Wu Ming to sit on the guest sofa together, and saw Wu Ming take the initiative to make tea for himself, and his heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of warmth:
"Wait for Chief of Staff Chen and Liu Guoyong to come over, you and Liu Guoyong will meet officially, I guess you know the most difficult personnel arrangements from your eldest brother, right?"
Wu Ming nodded, gently put the teacup on the coffee table in front of Yu Jishi, pointed to the briefcase on the side of the sofa and said: "Master, the reason why my subordinates came to knock on the door early is mainly to bribe, there are many people, it is not very convenient."
Yu Jishi was surprised at first, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "You can also say this?" I'm convinced of you, ha, look at how you bribe me, take it out, it's okay. ”
"Yo, what's so happy? It also involves bribery. ”
The office door was pushed open from the outside before it rang, and Chen Shizheng, who was wearing glasses, strode in with a spring breeze on his face, followed by Liu Guoyong, a tall man in a straight lieutenant colonel uniform.
After greeting each other, Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng finally saw Wu Ming's unscrupulous and gift-giving level.
Wu Ming took out two exquisite oak boxes from his briefcase and placed them in front of Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng respectively:
"A mere salute is not a respect...... This is two foreigners and their subordinates in Shanghai Xiafei Road wandering when they stumbled to find, very commemorative, on behalf of the highest level of the world's watch manufacturing industry, which contains science and technology, a hundred years later will not be outdated, now it looks not worth a few dollars, but in the future in the hands of the descendants, do not look at one or two million oceans, halu ha"
Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng were stunned by Wu Ming's words, and their interest was immediately aroused, and after opening them, they were shocked to find that it was actually the latest Swiss "Emperor Tuo" gold watch, and it was also the kind of luxury automatic watch that was not wound recently in the newspapers of Shanghai and Nanjing.
Chen Shizheng carefully picked up the exquisite gold watch, looked at it again and again, and was full of praise: "Beautiful, really beautiful, no wonder those dignitaries and nobles flock to it, the newspapers are blowing all over the sky, it is really extraordinary, I heard that the price of such a watch is equivalent to two Buick cars, I don't know if it is or not?" Wu Ming, you tell you the truth, how much is it? ”
Wu Ming picked up the teacup indifferently: "What the chief of staff said, it doesn't matter how much money you have, what matters is that the emotional division seat and the chief of staff still have less help to your subordinates?" Such deep friendship and such comrade-in-arms, how can it be measured by mere money? Ask the chief of staff not to mention the word money, sad."
Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng glanced at each other, and then laughed.
Wu Ming didn't wait for the two of them to scold, turned to the stunned Liu Guoyong and said with a smile: "The junior brother heard that he was going to work with Brother Liu, and he was very happy, but it was better to meet by chance, I didn't expect to see Brother Liu here in the division today...... Don't be surprised, this kind of watch is actually very ordinary, the younger brother also has a piece in his hand, in our fifth regiment, in order to facilitate official business, the officers above the company commander will each issue a Swiss watch, although it is not as good as this watch, but it is very accurate, and it is all the latest stainless steel waterproof automatic watch on the market last year, and after Brother Liu took office, the younger brother gave Brother Liu a new one. ”
"It's not too valuable, and my subordinates can't ask for it." Liu Guoyong hurriedly declined.
Wu Ming shook his head and smiled, and turned to Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng: "If there is nothing wrong, my subordinates plan to rush back as soon as possible, and I have been away from home for a week, I don't know how the training progress of the recruit training in Ludao is." ”
Yu Jishi didn't speak, slowly put away the gold watch, raised his head and sighed: "I know that your kid has a way to make money, and he has always been kind to his brothers, so I will accept this watch, and I won't say thank you, don't be in a hurry to leave, about the personnel arrangements of the Second Brigade, we still want to hear your opinions." ”
When Wu Ming looked at Chen Shizheng, who was smiling and silent, and then turned to Yu Ji, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he could only stubbornly state: "The subordinates obey the orders and obey the arrangements of the division seat and the chief of staff." ”
Chen Shizheng smiled very brightly, he made a bet with Yu Jishi last night, and decided that Wu Ming would definitely say this, Yu Jishi still didn't believe it, thinking that with Wu Ming's profiteer style, he would definitely have to bargain, and now it seems that no matter what Wu Ming's true thoughts are, if the words of "obey orders and obey arrangements" come out, Yu Jishi will have to admit defeat.
Yu Jishi not only did not feel unhappy at all, but praised Wu Ming very happily:
"Very good, we can rest assured that you can think so, in view of your outstanding ability and unique training methods, the chief of staff and I have decided to transfer 25 company-battalion officers of the former Second Security Division to study in your department...... In two days, I will send someone to send you the list and resume of these people, and before the end of the month, I will go to Changshan to report to you, how about it? Difficult? ”
Wu Ming complained bitterly in his heart, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face, and he also stood up and said loudly: "No problem, it's too late for subordinates to welcome us, our officers at all levels, including subordinates, are all wild people, and we urgently need officers who have graduated from regular military academies to enrich our ranks and improve our overall cultural quality and overall quality." ”
"Well said, I didn't misread you Wu Ming"
Yu Jishi praised loudly, stood up and patted Wu Ming on the shoulder cordially:
"Sit down, sit down and talk Originally, the two regiment commanders of the Second Brigade need us to inspect and appoint, but considering that your department has excellent performance in all aspects, strict military discipline, perfect system, and especially unique in military training, I tend to recommend it from you, and boldly say it."
Wu Ming seemed to be very embarrassed, and only after thinking about it for a long time did he frankly express his opinion.
