The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region is very large, and there are many important cities that can be named among them.

Wang Xu recruited 500 people in the old revolutionary base area, intending to use his financial advantage to push the scope of the three provinces in one go.

However, there is another obstacle to his plan, that is, every city antique shop needs at least one knowledgeable shopkeeper.

Wang Xu didn't have so many people in his hands, and his countermeasure was to smash some barely maintained antique shops, including the shopkeeper with the shopkeeper in the hall, on his carriage.

The effect is significant, and few people can refuse when money opens the way.

In the past two months, there is a shortage of shopkeepers, and a large and small Wang family antique shop has sprung up on the land of Jinchaji.

"Our antique store currently only undertakes two businesses, one is the acquisition of antiques and the other is the mortgage of gold bars. If there are antiques or jewelry, you can exchange them for gold bars here, and each store is a net, and the eighty-six shops together will cover the Jinchaji region.

Every month, the results of each store are counted, and 86 stores make a ranking. In the top 10, the store manager shares 30% of the profit of the month. The top 20 will share 20% of the month's profits. The top 30 will share 10% of the month's profits. For shops with more than 30 employees, the shopkeeper only receives a basic salary.

In addition, all the shops supervise each other, and the guy can also supervise the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper's corruption is discovered, the stolen money obtained from the embezzlement will be divided into half. Those who do not report the information will first enforce the family law, and then send it to the police station, and will not be tolerated... On October 13, 1940, the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, the Wangjia antique store noticed. ”

Tianjin, French Concession, Telegraph Office.

Wang Xu turned the jade ball in his hand, thinking back to what he had said, and after finding that there was no problem, he said: "Send telegrams, these telegrams are sent to the telegraph offices of the three provinces and major cities of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, and someone will take them over there." ”

Drip, drip... Tick Tick... Drip, drip, drip...

The business of the telegraph office was run by the French, and there were such establishments in every city.

Wang Xu sent an order here, and someone will soon notify the antique shops in various places, and the information transmission speed is not slow. If there is an emergency, the branches of antique shops around the country can also call him directly, although the contact is not as convenient as modern times, but there is no need to send letters on horseback.

"Mr. Wang, the telegram has been sent." The people at the telegraph office quickly sent the telegram out.

Wang Xu nodded silently, loosened the tie of his suit, and left under the congratulations of the manager of the telegraph office.

Outside the door, there were three black cars, the cars were American cars, the famous Ford.

Next to the three cars, there were six bodyguards in Mao suits, the first of whom was Ma Dabiao.

"I asked you to find Governor Chen to open a caravan armament certificate, how did you do?" Wang Xu didn't look back, got into the car and asked.

Ma Dabiao scratched his head, and said with a little weakness: "Governor Chen has a great appetite, saying that it needs to be dotted up and down, and a hundred gold bars are not enough. ”

"If it's not enough, give him 200, our business is in the Japanese-occupied area, it must be legal and can stand up to inspection, I don't want to cause trouble for myself. In the last few days, don't deal with those bandits, do your best to handle this matter, and if you have any problems, you can find my senior brother. "The senior brother Wang Xu said is a disciple of the old man Han Muxia, and he is currently serving as the police chief of the new government in Tianjin.

To tell the truth, there are countless disciples of Old Man Han Muxia, and there are 1,200 disciples who have been on the roster.

These people have been running for many years after the old man washed his hands in the golden basin, and many of them have long cut off contact with the old man. If Wang Xu hadn't accidentally discovered that the old man still had a roster in his hand, he wouldn't have known that the old man had such a wide range of connections.

And what makes Wang Xu feel the most is that the old man has been so difficult all these years, but he has never opened up with his disciples, you must know that some disciples above are in the name of the old man when they are begging for a life outside.

"The old man is old, he loves face, and he always feels that talking to his apprentices and grandchildren will make him seem to have no identity. But I'm different, I'm a close disciple of the old man, and I'm also a descendant of Korean-style gossip and Korean-style Xingyi boxing.

I've already sent down the martial arts post, November 8th, it's the old man's birthday, and I'm going to hold a birthday banquet for the old man in the largest restaurant in Tianjin. These people took the post, they had to come to Tianjin to pay homage to the old man, if someone didn't recognize it, it would be easy to do, how did this kung fu get out, and how to take it back for him. ”

Wang Xu sat in the car, looked at the middle-aged man in the co-pilot when he said this, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang, are you right?" ”

"Senior brother is right, we people in the martial arts have our own rules, and some things can't be broken." Senior Brother Zhang's name is Zhang Fan, and his appearance is very ordinary, but he is the third apprentice of the old man, and he has already entered the hall with a shape of Yiquan.

When Wang Xu got the roster, the joy at that time was indescribable.

What he lacks most now is people, and each of these old man's disciples has someone he can fight for.

After all, with the banner of the old man, he summoned all the brothers and sisters to come over, and no one would feel that he had lost points in face. Similarly, now is not the era when you can cross the martial arts with a little kung fu, some of these brothers are mixed well, some are very poor, and there are not a few who want to come to him.

For example, Senior Brother Zhang Fan, he doesn't dare to say that he is blue with his kung fu, but he is also at the level of martial arts.

And before he received Wang Xu's news, he actually worked as a nursing home for a large family in Cangzhou, and he didn't even have the money to open a martial arts hall, I have to say that the Republic of China era when firearms were rampant was really the cemetery of these martial arts masters.

"There are 380 people we can contact this time. For everyone I could get in touch with, I had someone bring a letter and fifty yuan for the journey, and if I didn't come on October 8, it would be a disregard for the friendship between master and apprentice. When the time comes, I will also ask Senior Brother Zhang to take my people to worship one by one, and take back the kung fu they have learned. Wang Xu's voice was flat, but he was determined to make an example of the monkey.

Senior Brother Zhang Fan nodded with a smile, his eyes were full of confidence, and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, the martial arts masters in the Jinchaji region can beat me only a handful, and half of them are martial arts veterans." Those junior brothers back then, if there was no great creation, they would not be my opponents anyway, you can rest assured. ”

"Well, it's a pity that there is still no news of the senior brother, the gossip palm of the senior brother, but with the true biography of the master, he was known as Xiao Muxia back then, and it would be more secure if there was a senior brother." Wang Xu's tone was full of regret, but it was a pity that the sky did not fulfill people's wishes.

Mr. Han Muxia opened a teaching hall at the age of 28.

In their lifetime, there are more than 1,000 disciples who have kowtowed and been on the roster.

Over the years, some people have died, some have disappeared, and some have gone abroad.

Wang Xu can contact less than a third, like the old man's unforgettable elder brother, he has never heard his whereabouts.

"Ma Dabiao's escort team currently has two hundred and thirty people, and there are more than 30 people gathered around me, the disciples and grandchildren left by the old man back then. According to this trend, as soon as the old man's birthday banquet opens, my wings will basically be completed. These people are definitely not enough to compete for hegemony, but they are more than enough to make a name for themselves in the martial arts! ”

Wang Xu turned the jade ball in his hand, looked at the scenery flashing outside the car window, and whispered: "Business is the left leg, martial arts is the right leg, the foundation of the Republic of China is going to be..."

The Qinggang Du Yuesheng, with 30,000 disciples, crisscrossed Shanghai, and the Japanese also wanted to give him face.

Why is this so, connections, fame, money, and influence are all indispensable.

And Du Yuesheng, although he is also anti-Japanese, has a rather ambiguous attitude, and is not close to our party or the White Party.

Wang Xu felt that if he made a move, made a name for himself in the martial arts, and supported the two parties in the War of Resistance, his limelight would not necessarily be worse than Du Yuesheng.

After all, Du Yuesheng started his fortune with opium, and his reputation has long been ruined, and his conditions are 108,000 miles worse than him.
