Yan Xishan had long been suppressed by the powerful power of the Feng army, and felt that he was a few heads lower than Zhang Tinglan, so he said very humbly: "Lan Shuai is too polite, what do you command, Baichuan agrees." ”

"Yan Dujun, I have always advocated win-win cooperation, everyone talks about business with each other, there is no other meaning, how about you take a look at this pistol first?"

Zhang Tinglan casually stuffed a Browning M1911 pistol into Yan Xishan's hand, Yan Laoxi is also a person who knows the goods, and he recognized this as an anti-American pistol at a glance, he weighed it in his hand, it was heavy, and he held it in the palm of his hand, it felt very good, like an extension of his arm, so that Yan Xishan couldn't put it down.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The bullet used in this pistol is 11.43 mm, which is relatively large, and the initial velocity of the bullet is not fast, but it is quite terrifying human body inhibition, which can cause unimaginable damage to the human body." Even if it is a black bear, as long as it is hit by a bullet, even if it is lucky not to die, it will completely lose its ability to move. This is very important in battle, and many soldiers will face the problem of the enemy's dying blow, and if they are hit by this pistol, they will completely lose the possibility of counterattacking. ”

Yan Xishan listened carefully to Zhang Tinglan's introduction, and also showed a full coveting color, just like Yan Xishan's personality, sleek on all sides, and the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was not outstanding, especially when it came to short-handed combat, the Jin army could not hold on, but if a large number of pistols were equipped, this shortcoming could be made up.

Yan Laoxi thought of this, Yue Fei liked it, looked over and over again, zuihou He sighed: "It's really a good thing, it's just that the Jin army's financial resources are thin, and even the rifles are not fully equipped." Pistols are even more daring to hope for. ”

"Yan Dujun, if you really like weapons, not only this pistol, but all other equipment, all of them, I can provide them to you, money is not a problem!" Zhang Tinglan smiled a little playfully.

Yan Xishan was also very shrewd, and quickly figured out that this was a fragrant bait thrown by Zhang Tinglan, although he knew that it would be risky to eat it. However, Yan Xishan did covet these things too much.

"Lan Shuai, Baichuan dares to ask you to point me out the way to cooperate, as long as you can accept it, Baichuan will definitely have no words."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Yan Dujun, I can authorize you to act as an agent for arms sales. Sell weapons to North China and the Central Plains, and you can take a five-percent profit from them. ”

Yan Xishan heard this. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. Everyone knows that the arms trade is the most profitable thing, and it is also the field where warlords everywhere are most willing to spend huge sums of money, not to mention that it is only five percent, it is also a windfall profit of several million, and he was immediately impressed.

Of course, Yan Xishan also knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world. Acting as an arms salesman, Zhang Tinglan will not give such a big profit in vain, he must have more requirements, Yan Xishan simply waited for Zhang Tinglan's next step.

Zhang Tinglan also paid attention to words and expressions. Yan Xishan really has more city government than Feng Yuxiang, and he didn't express his position immediately, he is a complete old fox. However, Zhang Tinglan has too many good cards in his hand, and he is not afraid that he will not take the bait.

"Yan Dujun, in addition to arms cooperation, Shanxi also has a large amount of coal underground, and Northeast Mongolia and other places also have a large number of coal resources, I am ready to join hands with Yan Gong to jointly develop coal, form a sales alliance, and control the Chinese coal market."

As soon as Yan Laoxi heard this, he immediately opened his mouth wide, it is true that Shanxi does have an amazing amount of coal, but mining coal requires a lot of equipment, Shanxi has no ability at all, and can only guard the golden rice bowl and ask for rice, which is also a thing that Yan Xishan is very worried about.

"Lan Shuai, to mine coal on a large scale, you must have large-scale equipment, and China's coal sales market has been controlled by foreign powers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to eat this profit."

Zhang Tinglan hahadaxiao: "Rest assured, the equipment can be provided by the Fengjun, as for the problem of the great powers, you take them seriously, they are a big trouble, if they don't take it seriously, they are also a crow, except for being able to call twice, they have no other ability!" ”

When Yan Xishan heard this, he almost choked, on the soil of China, who dares to ignore the great powers, as long as they see foreigners, their legs and feet will be weak, let alone dare to snatch meat from the bowls of the great powers to eat!

However, this young man in front of him has this courage, with an army of more than 100,000 people, he has just carried out an in-depth friendship with Russia in an international exchange, and he can not only snatch meat from the mouths of the great powers, but also cut meat from the great powers, which has long been completely different from ordinary Turkish warlords.

"Lan Shuai, the Feng army is strong and the world can see that it can ignore the great powers, but the Jin army is outnumbered and tired, and it really can't bear the pressure!"

"In this case, Yan Dujun, we might as well take twenty-eight profits, you just sit on the ground and collect the money, and all the other troubles are borne by Fengjun, what do you think?"

When Yan Xishan heard this, the little abacus in his heart crackled again, coal is indeed the most important mineral deposit in Shanxi, although it can only get 20% of the profit, but it is not a small amount, it must be above several million, it is definitely a windfall.

Yan Xishan thought about it again and again, and then nodded violently and said, "Everything is arranged by Lan Shuai, Baichuan has no opinion!" ”

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Zhang is very happy that Yan Dujun can have this courage. He looked at Qiao Ruixuan on the side again: "Brother Qiao, you know more about business, what do you think?" ”

Qiao Ruixuan hurriedly said: "Dashuai, coal is of great use in industry, and it is also a fuel for heating, and there is a great demand in major cities. In my opinion, the first step is to seize the Beijing-Tianjin region, take the market in North China, and then enter the Yangtze River valley and occupy Shanghai. According to my estimates, the initial profit should also be thirty or fifty million a year, and if the cost is deducted, according to the calculation of two percent, Yan Gong can also get at least five million net profits a year. ”

Yan Xishan can get five million, Feng Jun can get twenty or thirty million, although the family business is getting bigger and bigger, but this is not a small amount of money, Zhang Tinglan still attaches great importance to it.

After talking with Zhang Tinglan for a while, Yan Xishan also felt this Lan Shuai's keen business acumen and strong self-confidence. However, Zhang Tinglan is quite generous, although he unceremoniously took the lion's share, but he also left a little soup for others to drink, Yan Xishan was still very satisfied.

"Lan Shuai, judging from Baichuan, the industrial strength of the Northeast today is unrivaled in the world, and the strength is so strong, I am afraid that all other shili are beyond the reach of the dust."

Zhang Tinglan also knew that Yan Xishan was testing himself and wanted to see where his ambitions were, so he simply smiled and said: "Yan Dujun, soldiers were originally to defend their families and defend the country against foreign humiliation, and it is not a glorious thing to fight a civil war. Zhang intends to bridge the contradictions between the north and the south, jointly formulate laws, elect the National Assembly, and completely unify the country through bloodshed. ”

When Yan Xishan heard this, he hurriedly said: "What Lan Shuai said is extremely true, now that the country's sovereignty has been trampled on repeatedly, it is really not time to continue to fight a civil war. ”

"It's just that there is a group of thieves who don't die!" Zhang Tinglan said and pointed to the south: "Sun Wen and his henchmen have launched many mutinies since the Republic of China, and now they have repeatedly raised troops in the name of protecting the law. Do they really respect the covenant, I don't think so. Sun Wen asked more than 200 legislators to elect him as the president by secret ballot, and asked him where he put the election law, and the protection of the law was just an excuse for him to compete for power and profit. first hooked up with the Japanese, and then issued a declaration with Yue Fei, to put it bluntly, these actions are a sentence, if you have milk, you are a mother! ”

Yan Xishan was also a member of the League in his early years, but later he was worried that Yuan Shikai would be jealous, so he took the initiative to cut off from the Kuomintang, but he still broke off the connection with the Kuomintang. Now that Zhang Tinglan is scolding Sun Wen, Yan Xishan can't stop beating the drum in his heart, what is this Lan Shuai's plan?

"Yan Dujun, now that the matter has come, Sun Wen and his party have become national thieves, I am ready to unite all parties to jointly cut off this tumor, I don't know if Yan Dujun is willing to participate?"

When Yan Xishan heard this, Zhang Tinglan was forcing him to express his position, Lao Xi frowned, there are also many shili who are close to the People's Party in Shanxi, he can't ignore it, but he doesn't dare to disobey Zhang Tinglan's intentions, not to mention that such an important cooperation has just been negotiated, where is he willing to give up.

"Lan Shuai has a life, Baichuan will naturally not object, as long as Lan Shuai has an official document, Baichuan will definitely be willing to be a pawn."

After the two men finished talking, Zhang Tinglan asked people to arrange the first batch of arms to be provided to Shanxi, and at the same time, Wang Yongjiang also met with Yan Xishan, and the two talked for most of the day, and Zuihou signed a currency swap agreement.

This is exactly why Zhang Tinglan and Wang Yongjiang have long discussed Haode, to use currency swaps to expand the economic influence of the Feng army. Among the northern provinces, Hebei and Shandong are the most economically developed, but these areas are the base camps of Beiyang, and the Feng army cannot get into it for the time being.

In addition, the most stable society and the most stable economy is Shanxi, so Yan Xishan has also become the first choice for currency exchange, and the first batch of swaps between the two sides is 5 million, and the scale of the swap will continue to be expanded depending on the economic exchanges.

Although Yan Xishan was shrewd, he did not have the ability to refuse in the face of Fengjun's various means of co-opting and controlling. After all, these agreements are beneficial to both parties, and even if he doesn't agree, others will compete to sign them.

Just when Yan Xishan was inspecting in Mukden, there was suddenly a good news that Wu Yulin and Xia Han dragged three warships back from Europe, these three warships were scuttled by Germany in Operation Rainbow, and the Feng army and the British reached an agreement, and the British agreed to provide several scuttled warships for the Feng army to disassemble.

Now that this batch of warships is finally back, Zhang Tinglan is also very excited, among the three armed forces, the development of the navy is the most difficult, and it is also the area where the gap between the Feng army and the Japanese is the largest, after hearing the news, Zhang Tinglan personally went to Huludao to see what treasure he got back.
