Niukou Village, regimental headquarters.

Jiang Dao arrived with a short and fat man wearing ordinary people's clothes and a slightly lowered head.

Seeing the monk who was exercising in the courtyard, Jiang Dao said hello: "Monk, I brought someone to the head of the regiment." ”

The monk nodded, walked up to the short and fat man with his head slightly lowered, and said, "Battalion Commander Qian, I'm sorry, I serve as the regiment commander's guard, and I am also responsible for the security work of the regiment headquarters, so the procedures that should be followed are still indispensable." ”

said that this short and fat man with his head down was Qian Shoucai, the commander of the third battalion of the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

Qian Shoucai naturally understood what the monk meant, and hurriedly replied: "Company Commander Wei is too polite, it should be." ”

As he spoke, Qian Shoucai took off the gun on his body and handed it to the monk, who took it in his hand and nodded.

Jiang Dao then walked towards the house with Qian Shoucai.

If you want to say that this money is good for money, he is also the commander of the third battalion of the 57th Regiment of the National Army, and the monk is also the commander of the guard company of an independent regiment.

It can be seen that the monk, Qian Shoucai is quite a bit of a cliché, and there is always a smile on his face.

This is not difficult to explain, Qian Shoucai has long heard that this Wei Dayong, nicknamed Monk Wei, is the company commander of the guard company of the Independent Regiment, and also serves as Kong Jie's guard, and his status in the Independent Regiment is even more unusual, and the regiment commander Kong Jie is a brother who treats the monk as a brother.

And today's independent regiment, today's Kong Jie, in the eyes of Qian Shoucai, is not only the big financier of the 57th Regiment, but also the big rich man of his money and wealth.

In addition, in the spring sweep launched by the Japanese army, the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment was simply shocking.

This strong combat effectiveness not only frightened the Japanese puppet army, but also frightened the surrounding national troops.

The news came that the Independent Regiment, together with the New 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment, repelled the Japanese attack in one fell swoop, and took out the temporary joint headquarters of the Japanese Army, and shelled out a Japanese brigade commander plus nine brigade commanders.

Yang Chongshan, the head of the 57th Regiment, was stunned on the spot.

He admired and said to Qian Shoucai, the commander of the third battalion, worriedly: "Third battalion commander, we originally thought that this independent regiment would be good, as long as it can not be eliminated this time, it will be good, who would have thought that people would directly defeat the devils, this independent regiment is amazing, you said that if this independent regiment is sincere in dealing with our 57th regiment, can we be opponents?" ”

Nonsense, the three 57th regiments are not enough for independent regiments to fight.

Qian Shoucai's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "Tuanzao, the independent regiment is strong in combat, in fact, we don't have anything to worry about."

First, there is an independent regiment blocking the front, and the devil puppet army wants to move our 57th regiment in the future, I am afraid that we will have to weigh it.

The little devil has always been mainly dealing with the Eighth Road and winning over our Jin Sui army.

Another, as the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, as long as we continue the cooperative relationship with the Independent Regiment, and the Independent Regiment needs us to equip them, it will definitely not be hostile to us. ”

Yang Chongshan, who came back to his senses, nodded thoughtfully, and said happily: "Third battalion commander, you kid is still prescient, let's take advantage of the time when his independent regiment was fighting with the devil, and sent a batch of equipment over."

Now that there is this favor, whether it is cooperation or joint fight against devils in the future, it will be easy to talk. ”

So there was this scene in front of him, Qian Shoucai disguised himself as an ordinary person and came to meet Kong Jie at the headquarters of the Independent League in Niukou Village.

This is the first meeting between Kong Jie and Qian Shoucai.

Outside the curtain, Jiang Dao made a report, and the two entered the house, Qian Shoucai saw Kong Jie, hurriedly closed his heels, gave a military salute, and said respectfully: "Qian Shoucai, the commander of the third battalion of the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, has seen Commander Kong!" ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Battalion Commander Qian, now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating in the united front, you and I are not only friendly soldiers, plus regular business contacts, but also friends, you don't have to be courteous, please take a seat!" ”

Kong Jie's approachability made Qian Shoucai like a spring breeze, and Qian Shoucai hurriedly responded, and sat down on the kang under Kong Jie's instructions.

After Qian Shoucai sat down, Kong Jie said: "This time I invited Camp Commander Qian over, in fact, I also want to meet with Camp Commander Qian, you said that we have cooperated with each other so many times, and we are old friends, but we have never seen each other, isn't it a pity?" ”

"In addition, I heard Jiang Dao say that at Commander Yang, Battalion Commander Qian did not say good things for our independent regiment, just for this, I should also thank the former battalion commander in person."

Qian Shoucai hurriedly replied: "Head Kong, you are too polite, this is what Qian should do." ”

Kong Jie smiled: "It's okay, we don't pay attention to these things among our friends, Camp Commander Qian, I'll get straight to the topic." ”

"After fighting with devils for so many years, you should be able to see that I have a grudge against Kong Jie, even if I am a little devil, I will take revenge,"

"But I, Kong Jie, remember even more, in this anti-sweeping operation, at the most critical moment, your 57th Regiment sent a batch of equipment to my independent regiment.

No matter what kind of equipment this batch is, I am deeply touched by this friendship. ”

…… But it said that on the afternoon of April 19.

The confrontation between the independent regiment and the Japanese army was still in full swing.

After Yang Chongshan gave the order, Qian Shoucai personally led the team to set off, and used a company team to transport a batch of weapons to the independent regiment, especially practical light and heavy machine guns and ammunition.

Qian Shou, who has always regarded money as his life, did not mention the issue of money at all, but said bluntly: "Our regiment said that this is a little intention of our 57th Regiment to support the independent regiment to resist Japan." ”

……

There is also a scene where Kong Jie thanks Qian Shoucai at the moment.

Qian Shoucai was also a little fortunate at the moment, glad that he had made the right bet.

Kong Jie continued: "Battalion Commander Qian, to be honest, now my independent regiment has no shortage of business partners, these years, I give money to others to earn, who is not happy?" ”

"In addition to your 57th Regiment, the 311th Regiment of the National Army and the 71st Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, these are all business routes that my independent regiment can develop at any time, even including Chu Yunfei, the head of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, as long as I open my mouth to do business cooperation, I think Chu Yunfei will not refuse."

"But I, Kong Jiejien, am not a businessman after all, in Ju's opinion, this favor is much more important than business."

"Just because Regiment Commander Yang can send charcoal in the snow this time, my independent regiment is always willing to take your 57th regiment as the first partner."

Qian Shoucai was suddenly overjoyed, Kong Jie's generosity was what he liked the most.

As a middleman, Qian Shoucai has made a lot of price difference.

As long as Kong Jie is willing to maintain a cooperative relationship with the 57th Regiment, he can continue to benefit from it.

Thinking of the explanation given to him by the head of the regiment Yang Chongshan before he came, Qian Shoucai hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, head Kong, I will definitely convey your words to our regiment."

In addition, we admired the anti-Japanese bravery of the Independent Regiment, and respected that Commander Kong was a man, and the regiment said that in the next cooperation, the weapons we sold will provide the best price for the Independent Regiment. ”

"For example, rifles, our regimental seat has already finalized the plan, Commander Kong buys five rifles, and we will give another one for free."

"Buy 10 light machine guns and get 1 free, and so on, in the hope that our two sides will continue to be stable and strengthen cooperation with each other."

Kong Jie smiled: "Then please trouble Battalion Commander Qian to thank Commander Yang for his kindness for me." ”

"In addition, does Battalion Commander Qian feel that this arms deal is a small fight after all, the scale is too small to be interesting, the scale is too large, even your Commander Yang, once the above is checked, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it."

The forehand heard that his heart moved, "Captain Kong, what do you mean?" ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "In my opinion, the sale of arms is always a small head, this time I invited Battalion Commander Qian to come over to discuss this matter, hoping that Battalion Commander Qian would convey his meaning to Commander Yang." ”

"Just because of the friendship of Head Yang this time, I want to strengthen business cooperation with Head Yang."

"Nowadays, with the development of our independent regiment base area, there are also many industries, such as cigarettes, alcohol, various food crops, potatoes, potato flour, sweet potato flour, millet, honeycomb coal, and so on."

"These commodities, individually, do not seem to be as expensive as munitions, but they are the common necessities and necessities of the people, and they are almost indispensable every day, and the market is much larger than the arms market, and they can basically be sold as much as they produce."

Qian Shoucai nodded thoughtfully, this guy regards money as his life, and he is also shrewd, especially when it comes to making money, he immediately realized that this is definitely a big business opportunity.

If it can be put into practice, it will definitely be much more profitable than selling arms, and the key is that the risk is still small.

"Head Kong, what do you mean that we can sell these goods of your independent regiment as an agent?"

Kong Jie said: "Yes, I have this idea, now the sales of these goods of our independent regiment, in fact, there is still a lack of a sales agent in the national control area, I want to give the role of this agent to the head of Yang." ”

"As the head of the 57th Regiment, Commander Yang is doing some business in the Guotong Region and seeking some benefits for the brothers of the 57th Regiment, no one can say anything, right?"

"As for how to divide the money earned, please rest assured that I, Kong Jie, am kind-hearted and will never lose to Head Yang."

"In other words, Head Yang can also set his own prices, and as for recovering these goods from my independent group, I will also Yang the best price."

Qian Shoucai understood, and he realized that this trip was too worthwhile.

The two sides agreed on some details of cooperation, and when they left, Qian Shoucai patted his chest and promised repeatedly:

"Please rest assured that after Qian returns to the group, he will definitely persuade the group to promote cooperation between the two sides."

Kong Jie smiled: "Then trouble Battalion Commander Qian, Battalion Commander Qian, don't worry, as a friend of my independent regiment, I, Kong Jie, will not treat you badly." ”

Qian Shoucai said: "Thank you Captain Kong, Captain Kong, goodbye!" ”

……

After leaving the Independent Regiment, Qian Shoucai, full of joy, rushed back to the 57th Regiment without stopping.

After telling the story of the art that Kong Jie asked him to relay, Yang Chongshan, the head of the 57th Regiment, was really moved.

Qian Shoucai said that he was hitting the railway: "Tuanzuo, this is a profitable deal, if it weren't for the favor of us to send carbon in the snow during the sweep, such a good deal may not fall on our heads."

In terms of arms, the control from above is very strong, and the risk is too great, in case the news is revealed, it will be unfavorable to the group seat at that time.

Why not expand our business cooperation with independent groups, but we can earn more benefits with less risk? ”

Yang Chongshan did not reply immediately, he thought that since the cooperation with the Independent Regiment, the economic conditions of the 57th Regiment have been getting better and better, and the scale of the regiment has also grown.

In addition, with the independent regiment, I occasionally hit one or two devils, and the above commendations came every once in a while.

When others fight wars, I get rich, and this is what makes me smart.

Thinking of this, Yang Chongshan didn't hesitate anymore, "Okay, third battalion commander, you immediately send someone to tell Regiment Commander Kong that I should cooperate with the independent regiment." ”

"Yes!" Qian Shoucai was overjoyed.

……

Niukou Village, regimental headquarters.

After Qian Shoucai sent someone to convey Yang Chongshan's meaning, the regiment commander Kong Jie, who was holding a meeting at the regiment headquarters, Dong San, the director of the logistics department, and Xu Qingnian, the minister of the finance department, laughed together.

Dong San admired: "Regiment Commander, you can really do it, the Guotong Region has actually been wary of us, this sales market is not easy to develop, and now with this 57th regiment as an agent, this sales channel is much easier." ”

"As for the agency of the county, village and town in the area occupied by the Japanese army, Lao Xu's father is preparing from it, and there is no shortage of sales channels for the goods of our independent regiment."

Xu Qingnian added: "Lao Dong, don't forget the business path in the Hukou area, we exchange the commodity needs of the people in Inner Mongolia, and we also have a way to make a fortune." ”

Dong Sanle said: "Old Xu, you really fell into the eyes of money." ”

Xu Qingnian spread his hands, "That's no way, the head of the regiment said well, our independent regiment has thousands of mouths and is still waiting to eat!" ”

Kong Jie scolded with a smile: "Be serious, get down to business, Lao Xu, two days ago you said that our self-raised bank was a bit eyebrow-raising?" ”

Xu Qingnian nodded and said: "Regiment Commander, I was about to report this matter to you, after this period of development, the economy of our independent regiment base area is gradually stable, and the development momentum is quite good." ”

"According to the start-up capital we have in reserve now, I estimate that in a period of time, we will almost be able to build our own bank in the base area."

"Only by using our self-raised banks to completely control the financial affairs of our base areas can the financial system of our base areas become more and more stable and will not be easily destroyed by the enemy."

Kong Jie affirmed: "This is indeed the case, regarding the articles of association for the establishment of the bank, as well as various preparations, how are the preparations?" ”

Xu Qingnian said: "Don't worry, head of the regiment, you give me a few more days, and I will prepare the specific regulations for you." ”

"It's just that, head of the regiment, after all, it is a self-built bank in our base, and the scale of this initial is probably not too large, it is not so much a bank as it is like a money bank in the old society."

Kong Jie said: "The money village is the money bank, in short, it can play a role in regulating finance." ”

"It's just a matter of this bank, but if we get it to the ground, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it up, after you prepare all the regulations and everything, I will go and negotiate with the brigade commander and the boss, once it is decided, we will start working immediately."

"Yes!"
