At half past six o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Yun had dinner with the officers and soldiers of the cadet corps in the cafeteria, and then left the Wanping military camp with Gu Lianyun and Liu Zheliang. Then, he went directly to the military headquarters of the 29th Army in Nanyuan and asked to see Song Zheyuan.

Song Zheyuan met with Jiang Shuren and Guo Biao.

Song Zheyuan's mood seemed to be good, and after the two sides sat down, he asked very cordially about the recent situation of the student corps and the recruitment of college students. Ouyang Yun had already prepared and answered them one by one, and then he took out the plan book he had made last night. solemnly handed it to Song Zheyuan and said, "Junzuo, this is a plan I made, please take a look." ”

The name of the plan is "Yicha Local Industrial Planning Book", on which Ouyang Yun describes in detail the skills that can be mastered and what kind of factories and enterprises can be opened, and predicts the benefits that these enterprises can produce, and comments on what role the Yicha area will play in stabilizing the area......

A table is attached to the back of the plan, which shows the specific business category, the nature of the enterprise and the preliminary intention of the partners.

Song Zheyuan couldn't read anything too specialized, but that didn't prevent him from taking a keen interest in the numbers that represented the benefits. Ouyang Yun listed a total of 23 manufacturers, although the income of each one after normal production, but it added up to a considerable amount, he silently calculated in his heart, and came up with a specific number and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He handed over the plan to Jiang Shuren, stabilized his mood, and said to Ouyang Yun: "Ouyang, I have appointed Mr. Jiang as my financial advisor, and he will discuss these details with you as my plenipotentiary representative in the future." Ouyang, it seems that you have not wasted this time, I heard that you are a professor at Yan University, I thought you forgot the agreement between us. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Junzao, you already know the truth, I originally wanted to tell you about this-I am actually doing this as a professor for the convenience of running a business." ”

"Oh, how do you say?"

"You know, the domestic industrial level is too backward, and some of the processing equipment needed by factories and mining enterprises can only rely on imports, and Mr. Situ Leiden, the president of Yan University, is an American, and the United States is a country with an early start to industrialization, and if we want to import bulk equipment, the United States is a good choice——" As he spoke, he was about to mention Kotnam's invitation to the United States, when Song Zheyuan touched the short beard under his chin and interrupted him.

He said to Guo Biao: "Biaozi, give that agreement to Ouyang." ”

Guo Biao glanced at Ouyang Yun, there was a hint of worry on the corner of his eyebrows, he took out an agreement from his briefcase and handed it to him, and said with a forced smile: "Ouyang, you kid really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard, and dare to force our commander to sign a contract!" Hehe, if this thing is said, I don't think anyone in the world will dare to believe it. After speaking, he glanced at Ouyang Yun.

The so-called agreement is the agreement between Song Zheyuan and Ouyang Yun, but it is written in a written format, a bit like the meaning of the written document - Song Zheyuan promised to resist Japan, and Ouyang Yun must ensure that he served the 29th Army wholeheartedly, of which 50% of the monthly profits of the pharmaceutical factory with the production of penicillin as the main project are owned by the 29th Army, and the annual profit of the pharmaceutical factory shall not be less than 1 million Yunyun.

The two parties to the agreement are Song Zheyuan and Ouyang Yun, and Song Zheyuan has signed at the bottom of the document.

Ouyang Yun looked at Song Zheyuan, and saw that his face was a little gloomy, and he was no longer as kind as he was just now, obviously this agreement was not signed willingly, and even felt coerced, and he must not feel very comfortable in his heart. When he was talking about the conditions with Song Zheyuan at that time, he put forward a guarantee and a promise, and in hindsight, he felt a little angry, too child's play. If Song Zheyuan really wants to vote for Japan, he must be ready to lose his reputation and "cross his eyebrows and point coldly at thousands of people", so what is the binding force of the so-called guarantee promise? Guo Biao obviously realized this, which reminded him with a look in his eyes.

Since Ouyang Yun figured this out, this contract was worthless, he tore the contract into pieces with three strokes and five divisions, threw it on the ground, and then said with a smile to Song Zheyuan: "Junzuo, it's just a joke, how can you take it seriously?" In the eyes of overseas Chinese, you are the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, if even you are a traitor, then our China will not become a world of little devils early? After speaking, he looked at Guo Biao and Jiang Shuren, and took the lead in smiling.

Ouyang Yun guessed correctly, Song Zheyuan was not willing to sign this contract - he agreed to Ouyang Yun's conditions so readily, he was too dreamed of getting the land of Pingjin, and penicillin's temptation to him was secondary.

With the smooth entry of the 29th Army into Pingjin, Song Shu's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and Ouyang Yun's importance was invisibly reduced a lot. At this time, Ouyang Yun seriously disobeyed Shi Yousan's disposition, which was unforgivable in Song Zheyuan's opinion - his idea was that although the 29th Army would not surrender to Japan, it was better not to offend as much as possible. He thought that he had seen through Lao Chiang's character, and he had never had any hope for the Nationalist Government, believing that once something happened in the future, the 29th Army could only rely on himself, so how to play a good balance between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese was quite important - at one point, he even moved the mind of secretly arresting Ouyang Yun and handing it over to the Japanese.

Ouyang Yun, as a descendant, even though he has the advantage of having insight into the personnel at this time by virtue of historical records, how can the human heart be fully described and recorded clearly - he only knows that Song Zheyuan will not vote for the sun, but he knows very little about the true thoughts in his heart, in a word, he is still too old and has too little experience, and he is far from knowing how sinister the human heart of the Dao is - fortunately, he remedied it in time, went to Tianjin to ask for guilt and drew a big cake - coincidentally, Due to Gu Lianyun's sideways appearance, it had a little impact on the negotiation between Xiong Bin and Song Zheyuan. After Xiong Bin fully accepted the conditions put forward by Song, he euphemistically proposed that he could give the establishment of the independent brigade to the Cadet Corps. Xiong Bin represents the meaning of Lao Jiang, in this way, Song Zheyuan can't help but suspect Lao Jiang's intentions - some time ago, he was still arresting the "Anti-Japanese Heroes" with great fanfare, and now he is helping Ouyang Yun to become an official, could it be said that Lao Jiang also discovered Ouyang Yun's value and wanted to rob him of people? From this point of view, Ouyang Yun does have real talent and learning, which makes him attach importance to Ouyang Yun again.

It was based on this consideration that Song Zheyuan had to accept Jiang Shuren's suggestion to tie Ouyang Yun to the cart of the 29th Army by means of a written agreement. Jiang Shuren's reason is: Since Ouyang Yun grew up in the United States, his thinking habits should have the color of Westerners - Westerners like to do things according to rules and regulations, and light promises and heavy articles, so he suggested that he should be open-minded and first determine the original agreement in the format of a document, and first express his attitude, so as to limit Ouyang Yun's position.

However, Song Zheyuan is a tyrant after all, and he controls tens of thousands of troops, although it seems that this agreement was proposed by him on his own initiative, but in his heart, there is always a feeling of being forced to sign the "alliance under the city", and it is inevitable that he will feel guilty.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Ouyang Yun to say two cruel words after signing the contract to dispel the other party's idea of letting him publish the so-called promise in the newspaper, but who knew that this young man was not as light on promises and heavy on the contract as Jiang Shuren said, and actually tore up the contract, and said that the original agreement was just a joke, which was another insult to Song Zheyuan - the so-called gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and shouted: "What? Is my Song someone's promise so worthless? ”

Guo Biao has followed Song Zheyuan for many years, and he has already figured out his temper, and when he saw Ouyang Yun brushing the tiger's beard, he couldn't help but secretly worry about him.

Ouyang Yun was not panicked at all, and said with a smile: "Junzao, it is precisely because your promise is worth a thousand gold that there is no need for this agreement to exist. After speaking, he took out the invitation letter from Kotnam and handed it to Song Zheyuan.

The translation has been annotated at the bottom of the invitation, Song Zheyuan looked at it with a tiger face, his face softened a little, and asked, "It seems that you are preparing to go to the United States?" ”

Ouyang Yun came to Song Zheyuan overnight for two things, one was to fulfill his original promise, as Guo Biao reminded, not to disappoint Song, and at the same time report to him about going to the United States; Another thing is to make some clarifications on the matter of the independent brigade.

He took out a list and said, "Yes, Junzao, I want to take this opportunity to buy all the equipment we need to buy at once." In this way, there is a problem with our funds, so I want to bring those businessmen who are interested in joint ventures to the United States in a group, first, to let them see how the United States develops industry, and on the other hand, to make them feel at ease to invest," he laughed when he said this, "If I don't let the businessmen go with me, I am afraid that they will not be relieved to hand over the funds to me, and I am afraid that I will abscond with the money." ”

Song Zheyuan was slightly bowing when he heard this, and Jiang Shuren said with a smile: "Song Gong, Ouyang's idea is good, I think it is very necessary." Domestic businessmen are generally pedantic in their thinking, and it is just right for them to go out to see the world, which will be of great benefit to the economic construction of the Pingjin area in the future! Song Gong, I also want to go to the United States with Ouyang, what do you think? ”

Song Zheyuan said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, I have moved my mind to go to the United States, but unfortunately I am really not available." Well, you are my plenipotentiary, so go on my behalf, and come back and tell me what is going on in this so-called industrialized country. ”

Jiang Shuren nodded yes.

Song Zheyuan turned his gaze to Ouyang Yun and said, "Ouyang, you can discuss economic matters with Mr. Jiang, as long as it is beneficial to the people's livelihood and the 29th Army, you can do it boldly with confidence." This time, the 29th Army will be fully expanded, and I have decided to expand the cadet corps into an independent brigade, and you will be the commander of this brigade, I hope you will not let me down. ”

Ouyang Yun had already learned the news, and now that he heard him say it himself, he knew that the Dao was already an ironclad thing, and he said modestly: "Junzao, this is not appropriate, right?" Ouyang is too young, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Song Zheyuan smiled, waved his hand and said: "This matter has been decided, the list has been reported to the National Military Commission - young is a good thing, young people have the capital - it is difficult to convince the public, hehe, you can rest assured, the soldiers of the independent brigade of the student soldiers will all face those students." You, the head of the cadet corps, have been the commander for more than a month, and you have won two battles, so I think you are quite competent. However, there are some things I have to remind you that it is a good thing for young people to be enthusiastic, but it is not realistic for us to start an all-out war with Japan in terms of our current strength. Ouyang, I heard that you have a new adjutant, or is it a woman? ”

Ouyang Yun's other purpose of coming today was to clarify the matter, and he said with a smile: "Yes, a very beautiful woman is still a graduate of Jianqiao Aviation School, she should be an agent of the central government department, right?" ”

"Huh? You've figured out who she is? Song Zheyuan looked at him, meaning why should he stay by his side?

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Junzao, she told me that I could be the brigade commander this time, and she also contributed to it-" Before he finished speaking, Song Zheyuan waved his hand and said, "I don't know if it's her strength, but Xiong Bin did ask me this question-Ouyang, do you know how I answered him?" ”

Ouyang Yun shook his head, his choice of such a clarification method actually meant to add chips to himself. He didn't know Gu Lianyun's true identity, but one thing was certain, this girl was definitely not simple. As for whether she was taking advantage of him, or whether she was completely involved in him, he didn't know, but none of that mattered - Song Zheyuan was a smart person, and such a move by him would definitely have the "right" association, and thus open a higher bargaining chip - these are the most important things to him!

Song Zheyuan smiled and said: "I told Xiong Bin that the Nationalist Government can give you Ouyang Yun, and our 29th Army can still give it, and I originally wanted to leave this independent brigade to the Xue Corps!" ”
