242 [Joined in a daze]
"Landlord, the condition of this house does not match the price, it's a bit expensive!"
"Sir, the market is this market, it's really not expensive. Look at what the fight is like out there, this Japanese doesn't blink an eye.
The huge magic capital is also a safe point for the great powers to lend. Money or death, this is a very simple choice, sir, you are a smart person, you must know better than me. ”
This is very reasonable, bullets don't have eyes, and it's not wise to love money and die.
The cosmopolitan city of the Far East has been reduced to a battlefield, and there are only two ways for refugees. Either go and hide in the countryside, or come to this lease to seek refuge.
After all, the Japanese had not yet fainted their minds and dared to go to war with all the great powers.
It's really hard to find a suitable house, and it's very troublesome to pick again. Yuan Pengfei didn't bother anymore, and paid the rent on the spot.
The landlord also said with a smile: "Sir, you have made a wise choice, the sooner you rent this house, the better." In the future, there will be more people in this concession, not only will it be difficult to find a house, but the rent will have to be raised! ”
This time, Yuan Pengfei was impressed by him, this inconspicuous little landlord can say such a thing, at least he has a long-term vision, and it is no wonder that people collect rent for half a street!
After a few words of greeting, the landlord was sent away, and Yuan Pengfei cleaned up the small courtyard alone.
The courtyard he rented was not large, with two main rooms, two south rooms, and two adobe yards the size of two rooms, and the weeds in the corners were calf-high.
Such a big house is enough for two families, and it seems a waste for him to be a bachelor.
Furnishings such as wardrobes, beds, and desks are still available, and after cleaning up the two main rooms, it is enough to simply add some bedding and other living utensils.
The business in the concession was quite good, Yuan Pengfei walked out of the courtyard gate, turned a street and saw all kinds of shops.
Bookstores, pharmacies, rice shops, fabric shops, tailors, barber shops...... Walking around, the things have almost been purchased, and by the way, dinner is solved at the wonton stall on the side of the road, and the second step of renting and taking root is completed. If he finds another job, he will be completely on rent.
As soon as the house was decorated, someone stood at the door and asked, "Hello, are you a new neighbor?" ”
Yuan Pengfei looked at the visitor, the tall body was relatively thin, much like a person he had seen.
But I can't remember it.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, my name is Yu Zecheng, I'm the neighbor next to you, I heard from the landlord that a new tenant has moved in, can I come to see if there is anything I need help with?"
Yu Zecheng, Yuan Pengfei remembered it immediately.
This seems to be a military commander.
I also found the reason why he was familiar, and he looked similar to Liu Huaqiang!
However, the temperament of the two people is different, Liu Huaqiang is the kind of arrogant feeling, as if he is the second and third in the world.
And Yu Zecheng gave him a sense of politeness, as if he was a scholar.
The two exchanged a few polite greetings and learned something about each other. Yu Zecheng works in a family trading company, doing a job like a clerk, which is quite decent.
And Yuan Pengfei is miserable, so far he is a jobless vagrant, and the next biggest thing is to find a job.
Yu Zecheng said goodbye to Yuan Pengfei, turned around and returned to his house, looked at the two people sitting in the house, shrugged his shoulders, and explained the situation of the new neighbor.
The middle-aged man with a round face and fat is Yu Zecheng's boss Sun Kangshi. He nodded and said, "Well, you just have a good idea." Or about this batch of medicines, the superiors ordered us to do everything possible to transport this batch of medicines. ”
Yu Zecheng didn't speak, and the other companion in the room, Pi Zhiqiang, frowned and said, "Team leader, that batch of medicine is not a small amount. A box of penicillin and 30 boxes of sulfonamides, it is difficult to transport them out without attracting attention.
What's more, now that the Japanese warships have blocked the sea route, water transportation will definitely not work. By land, the Central Army had already been defeated and retreated, and the outside was full of Japanese, and the enemy was almost the same. ”
"Bastard." Sun Kangshi slapped the table and said angrily: "I don't want to hear such frustrating words, the superiors gave us the task, that is to trust us." The mission must be completed by all means, these dozens of boxes of medicine can save the lives of thousands of soldiers, even if we die! ”
"Yes, Team Leader."
Pi Zhiqiang said reluctantly.
It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but he's just afraid that the mission will fail and lose these dozens of boxes of medicine.
Sulfonamide is currently a better bactericidal and healing drug, although it has long been mass-produced, but the price is still expensive.
And that box of penicillin is worth almost the same as 20 boxes of sulfonamides. The antibacterial effect of this medicine is stronger than that of sulfonamides, and a few can snatch a life from the hands of death.
However, at present, no country or enterprise has mastered the technology of producing penicillin in large quantities, so the production cost remains high, and the money spent on buying drugs is even more.
And more importantly, there were banknotes that could still be bought in the past. And now, there is a war between China and Japan, and under the blockade of the Japanese army, medicine is not available with money.
This batch of drugs is even more precious at this moment.
Yu Zecheng sighed, "Team leader, my suggestion is to take the waterway, so that at least there is a glimmer of life." If you go by land, the chances of success are too small, and it is simply to deliver food to others. ”
"Any specific ideas?" Sun Kangshi asked.
Yu Zecheng shook his head, "At present, I only have a clue, the freight company where I work has a small cargo ship, and it is no problem to transport these dozens of boxes of medicine."
It's just that the Japanese have a warship blockade on the water, and it is not easy to let the ship go away safely. ”
Oh, yes! The Japanese are not blind, and if a freighter is about to go out, how can people not check it?
If you want to get through, it's even more difficult.
Sun Kangshi took out his pocket watch to look at the time, there was not much time left for him, and the order from his superiors asked him to deliver the medicine at the end of the day tomorrow night.
A delay increases the risk of transportation, and many people die from lack of medicine and lack of effective treatment.
Time waits for no man!
"Knock Knock"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the three of them woke up from their thoughts, and Yu Zecheng glanced at the two of them and went to open the door alone.
Seeing that it was a new neighbor who had just moved in, he asked vigilantly, "Mr. Yuan, is there anything wrong with me?" ”
Yuan Pengfei's gaze crossed Yu Zecheng and looked into the room, but he didn't see a figure.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to trouble you, can you lend me a few pieces of honeycomb coal?" ”
Yu Zecheng was a little surprised, he didn't cook in the middle of the night, what did he borrow this thing for?
Yuan Pengfei also saw his surprise and explained: "Prepare to boil some water to take a bath, otherwise this dirty will not be easy to find a job tomorrow!" ”
Yu Zecheng nodded suddenly, turned around and quickly took a few pieces of honeycomb coal, and said politely: "Are these enough, if they are not enough, I will get you some more." ”
"Enough, enough, just a simple scrub, these are enough, thank you Mr. Yu." Yuan Pengfei took the honeycomb coal and hurriedly thanked him.
Originally, the matter ended here, but remembering Yu Zecheng's identity, he still said more: "Look at Mr. Yu's frowns, is there anything difficult to do?" One person is short and two are long, if it is convenient, you can talk to me, maybe I can help Mr. Yu come up with ideas! ”
Yu Zecheng looked Yuan Pengfei up and down, thinking about the difficulty of this mission, he shook his head, who had always been cautious, and was ready to politely refuse.
At this time, Sun Kangshi's voice suddenly came from inside the house, "Xiaoyu, call him in, maybe he can come up with some ideas!" ”
Yu Zecheng sighed in his heart, this task was originally a life of death, and he didn't want to implicate the innocent, but who made this new neighbor talk too much, so he had to get involved?
I can't blame him either.
Bringing Yuan Pengfei to the house, Sun Kangshi smiled and talked about it, knowing that Yuan Pengfei was the one who fled alone, and behaved more relaxed.
After a while, I talked about transporting this batch of goods. It's just that his identity has become a boss, and the medicine has become a valuable cargo, and the purpose is to ship the goods out to make a fortune.
"Mr. Yuan, I won't say much nonsense, if you can think of a good way, I will give you 300 yuan, you will work here for a year, that is, you will earn so much."
Yuan Pengfei looked at Yu Zecheng and looked at these two people, and laughed in his heart. It's really interesting to hide, make up nonsense, and play this set in front of him.
The reward of 300 yuan is also a lot of money, much more than what he got by fishing in troubled waters today.
Of course, he is willing to do it without money, no matter what the military commander says, he is also anti-Japanese, and doing this kind of thing is also for the country, and it is nothing to come up with some ideas.
After understanding the situation in detail, he also smoothed out the difficulties in this mission.
After repelling the Central Army, the Japanese army had already begun to put pressure on the Board of Directors to open the door to the Japanese army.
If nothing else, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, after a part of the Japanese army has freed their hands, they will enter the French Concession in large numbers, begin to count the goods on all cargo ships, and confiscate the military supplies that the Kuomintang government has not had time to transport.
Time is of the essence.
In addition, there are two difficulties. How to attract the attention of the Japanese warships and let the cargo ships carrying the drugs go out?
After thinking for a while, Yuan Pengfei gradually had an idea in his heart.
He looked up at the three people present and said with a smile: "The three of you are in such a hurry at this time, the things you are transporting must be very important."
I have a plan to fish in troubled waters, and I need people who are not afraid of death and explosives, if you think it will work, you can try it. If you don't think it's okay, you just don't say it. ”
Sun Kangshi nodded, "You boldly said, I will measure whether it can be done or not, as long as it can be done, the money is indispensable to you." ”
Yuan Pengfei smiled, didn't say anything about money, pointed to the map of the port and said, "If your ship Express wants to leave safely, you have to do two things.
Fish in troubled waters, muddy the water first. There is an oil tanker here that is 8 ships away from you, and we are trying to blow it up.
The effect of the explosion must have been significant, and the docks must have been in chaos. Your ships do not fly any flags, mingle with the departing ships, and sail up the coastline. ”
"That's it?"
Pi Zhiqiang frowned and felt a little inappropriate. Sun Kangshi and Yu Zecheng obviously also had some doubts, but they were more patient and did not rush to question.
"Of course not." Yuan Pengfei pointed to the pattern of the Japanese warships cruising outside, and explained: "If this is the case, if the Japanese warships are not saved, they will be killed, and if they can run away after a burst of artillery bombardment, it will really be up to fate."
So you have to give the Japanese a target, and there is an arms ship next to your Amex. After the explosion, people who needed not to be afraid of death took control of the ship and rushed directly to the open sea.
The Japanese flag is hung so that the Japanese will be shocked and unsure of what our true purpose is.
Intercept the ship, or sink the ship. No matter what they do, the focus will not be on your Amex. If there is no problem with the captain, the probability of leaving safely is at least eighty percent. ”
"Fishing in troubled waters, I see." Pi Zhiqiang suddenly realized and said excitedly: "The explosion of the oil ship is to muddy the waters, and the munitions ship is also a part of the muddy waters, but our medicine ship is the most inconspicuous and the safest." ”
"Pi Zhiqiang!"
Sun Kangshi shouted dissatisfiedly.
This guy pouted baldly, and poured it all out. The matter of transporting medicines can be said casually!
Pi Zhiqiang smiled and didn't dare to answer. He was just so excited, and as soon as he was excited, he told him everything.
Sun Kangshi's eyes flickered a little when he looked at Yuan Pengfei, transporting medicines is a big deal, and there is no room for the slightest omission.
But Yuan Pengfei came up with an idea just now, and he turned his face and didn't recognize people now, which didn't seem to be good.
Often on the verge of life and death, Yuan Pengfei is particularly sensitive to killing intent, and knows that today can be solved without coming up with an idea.
He simply broke it directly, "The identities of the three should not be simple, they are from Nanjing, right?" ”
All three of them reacted, just stared at him.
He said to himself: "I heard that Nanjing is very generous, and there is no place to make money when I first came here, I don't know if the three of you can make the decision to let you join in Xia, and have a long-term source of income?" ”
Yu Zecheng, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Team leader, the country is in crisis at a time when we are employing people, and Mr. Yuan has also shown his talent, and his joining is also a big help for us." ”
Facing Sun Kangshi's inquiring gaze, Pi Zhiqiang nodded, "Team leader, I also agree with this." And we have our own recruitment plan, which is in line with the regulations. ”
Seeing that the two subordinates agreed, Sun Kangshi did not hesitate any longer, "Yuan Pengfei, I will not say much about it, you follow Yu Zecheng, become a peripheral member first, and he will teach and arrange you." ”
Yuan Pengfei showed a smile, made himself more excited, and said respectfully: "Yes, team leader, subordinates must obey the arrangement." ”
may feel that this alone is not enough, Sun Kangshi took out another 300 yuan, stuffed it directly to Yuan Pengfei, and said without refusing: "Your idea is very good, there is still a place for you to contribute, and after success, you can not only turn positive, but also have rich rewards." ”
The reward of a stack of banknotes, as well as the opportunity to become a regular, in order to make the newcomer work hard, Sun Kangshi can be described as painstaking.
"The team leader's order is the sky, and his subordinates will definitely go to the soup and fire, and they will not give up."
Yuan Pengfei's chest was pounding, and he didn't believe what he said.
But this beautiful statement must also be done, otherwise how can people believe him!
Sure enough, although Sun Kangshi felt that the sycophants were too heavy, they still sounded very pleasant and comfortable, and his gaze at Yuan Pengfei was much kinder.
Holding the map on the table, he did not shy away from Yuan Pengfei, and directly gave orders to Yu Zecheng and Pi Zhiqiang to arrange tasks.
Time waits for no one!
