wants to launch the image of Kong Wuwan, a rich and rival country.

We want to receive 50,000 victims inside and outside the base area and resettle them so that they can survive for a long time.

We want to transform the disasters caused by natural disasters into demographic dividends that stimulate economic growth.

Want, want......

Everything you want is inseparable from one word - money.

With money, we can pay the salaries of the victims and procure materials and food through other follow-up means.

In order to make the first detachment base area develop more vigorously.

How important is money?

When there was a meeting at the headquarters before, Chief Kong, a big creditor, went there to stop, and among the people who owed money, who dared to speak up?

Now, with the passage of time, as the first detachment has opened its doors to receive a wide range of local and foreign victims.

Dong San, Minister of the Logistics Department, and Xu Qingnian, Minister of the Finance Department, approached Kong Jie many times and expressed some concern:

With the increasing number of victims, even if the first detachment has a rich family background and has hoarded a large amount of food in advance, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the huge consumption.

The first detachment is based up and down the area, and there are currently nearly 20,000 victims.

Although most of the victims have already arranged suitable jobs, it is not yet time for the autumn harvest.

Everyone fills their stomachs, basically relying on the hoarding of food that Kong Jie has taken precautions during this time.

If this continues, once the food is exhausted, it will undoubtedly be the most terrible disaster for a large number of victims.

At a meeting held by the headquarters to deal with the food shortage of the victims, Kong Jie said:

"If there is consumption, there must be input, as long as the input is sufficient, or even greater than the consumption, we are not afraid of running out of food to eat."

"At present, there is no autumn harvest yet, and it is naturally impossible to solve the problem by relying only on the self-production of our base areas, so we have to find ways to buy grain and other materials from areas outside the base areas to the base areas."

"The original grain purchase channels of all parties will continue to be stable and gradually expanded, and we will find more ways to open up more grain purchase channels."

"Whether it is the national army or the Jin Sui army, including the puppet army, or even the Japanese army, as long as it is food and materials that can be easily bought with money, everyone does not have to hesitate."

Li Wenjie, who was in charge of this matter, said helplessly: "Regiment commander, it is true that this is true, but since the beginning of this year, the disaster situation in various places has become more and more serious, including the surrounding national control area and the Japanese war zone, and the disaster situation has already spread. ”

"In many places, there is not enough food in their own areas, and there is no surplus food to sell to us. We have raised prices many times, but the amount of food we can receive has been drastically reduced during this period of time. ”

"In addition, although the Japanese army has generally reached an armistice agreement with us, it has been secretly obstructing the purchase of grain from our base areas. I'm worried that if this continues, the grain that can be circulated in the surrounding areas of our base area, such as Yangquan, Shouyang, and Ping'an, will soon run out. ”

The other cadres also nodded, their faces full of helplessness.

This is one of the problems that cannot be avoided at the moment.

I thought it was a headache, but I didn't want to be head Kong, but he laughed.

Kong Jie said: "I know what everyone is worried about, it is worried that the surplus food in the surrounding areas of our base area, even if all of it is bought by us, it will not be enough to eat. ”

However, everyone has clearly entered a misunderstanding.

What are the misconceptions?

In fact, food is not insufficient, even if many provinces are affected by the disaster, hundreds of counties have suffered an unprecedented drought, and many lands are barren and almost no harvest is available. ”

"But it's still polarized, some people starve to death, and some people can't eat enough food.

Why? The biggest problem is the uneven distribution. ”

"Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi have been affected, but Sichuan, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia and other places have not, right?"

"After all, the disaster situation is gathered in a certain area, as long as we can find a way to transfer food materials from other farther areas to achieve a reasonable allocation and distribution of food, we will not worry about the problem of food shortage."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie directly finalized the plan: "The detachment immediately selected people to form a grain purchase team and joined some soldiers to ensure safety along the way and ensure that they were not harassed by bandits. ”

"I went north to kill the tiger's mouth, and used the channel we had with the comrades in Inner Mongolia in the early days to buy grain."

Shaanxi, Chongqing, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, as long as they can buy grain with money, try to open up the route, and our cadres of the Migrant Labor League are responsible for buying grain."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie reminded again: "Oh, by the way, don't buy grain in the name of the first detachment of our Eighth Route Army, but in the name of Kong Wuwan, a patriotic and wealthy businessman." ”

"This is the general direction, and you will discuss the details with the political commissar later."

Li Wenjie: "......"

After the meeting, there will be a gradual shortage of food, which was solved by Kong Jie lightly.

Of course, the actual operation is not as simple as Kong Jie said.

As Kong Jie said, he just suggested a general direction.

In real implementation, whether it is to open up grain transportation routes, or follow-up transportation, purchase, contact with sellers, etc., each of these needs someone to worry about and plan.

Of course, all this is not a matter in the eyes of Commander Kong.

Isn't there still political commissar Wen Jie and chief of staff Elder Xu Zai!

In the afternoon of the same day.

It is still an old place, Yangquan Fengxian Residence, the monk took the lead in reconnoitring, and after confirming the safety of the place, Kong Jie, who pretended to be a common man, met with American businessmen John and Joeves in the private room on the third floor of Fengxian Residence.

During this time, it is necessary to talk about the secret contest between John and Kong Jie.

Obviously, Kong Jie, as the owner of the financier, understood the difficult situation of the Yankees in the Anglo-American concession, and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and had the upper hand.

The drawings of the M3 submachine gun, Kong Jie only gave John 2/3, and there are still 1/3 of the core in his hands.

Kong Jie's two merchant representatives, Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming, sent news to Kong Jie.

It is said that the Yankees deliberately waited for the price and sold, and wanted to make a fuss about the price of selling the factory, and slaughtered a lot of money.

Some time ago, in order to achieve this goal, John sent several batches of arms that did not meet Kong Jie's expectations.

Play with Captain Kong, Captain Kong will naturally not be used to the Yankees.

Kong Jie, who understood the situation and death of John and others, immediately sent the news to Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming:

"Steady! The Yankees want to blackmail us before leaving, so let's sit back and wait for the situation to change, and the Yankees will sell at a low price, and then we will buy all the factories and production lines in the hands of the Yankees at the price of cabbage, and there will be times when they cry. ”

Right now, John and Joves are about to "cry".

There was already faint news in their country that the war with the Japanese army was imminent, and many businessmen in the concession had begun to sell their factories in China at low prices, preparing to withdraw the money to China.

John originally thought that Kong Jie was imperative for his factories in China and for some of the munitions production lines under his name.

As a result, under his deliberate control, Kong Jie's attitude towards him was casual and casual, and he didn't care at all.

There is an attitude that you love to give or not, and love to sell or not.

But in the whole of Tianjin, except for Kong Jie, a big financier, in a short period of time, John could not find other buyers with such great appetite and courage.

This time, John came over in a hurry with Joves, just to ask Kong Jie's attitude, when he would take over his daily production plant in China and the various industries under his name.

After meeting, John, who couldn't sit still, didn't dare to deliberately hang Kong Jie's appetite this time, and after a little greeting, he asked directly to the point:

"Xu (Kong Jie's pseudonym Xu Zijie), I have reached an agreement with many businessmen in the concession, they are willing to sell the factory in China to you, everything is negotiable in terms of price, there is only one requirement, I hope that the transaction can be carried out quickly."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "John, I'm afraid you asked the wrong person about this matter, as for the business in the concession, I said that Boss Gao and Boss Zhu have always been in charge." ”

"Xu, don't hide it from me, Mr. Gao and Mr. Xu are obviously listening to your arrangement!" John said helplessly.

After three or two sentences, the situation was not as good as people, and John, who still wanted to make a fortune before withdrawing the loan, was completely pinched.

Kong Jie didn't choose to be aggressive, but smiled: "John, I think you should know what I really want. ”

"Munitions?" John asked.

Kong Jie shook his head and said, "Instead of buying eggs, why don't you just buy a hen that can lay eggs?" ”

"I want an arms production line in your name, John."

John's eyes lit up when he saw Kong Jie say this, and he felt that he had finally whetted Kong Jie's appetite again, and replied:

"Xu, your appetite is too great, but you must know that the production of arms is not like some factories that produce daily necessities, the cost of production is very expensive, if you want to buy the arms we have hoarded in the concession, or even the entire production line, you may need to prepare a lot of money."

Kong Jie smiled and smiled brightly: "John, you Yankees seem to like to meddle in the arms business if you are a businessman. ”

"The munitions production line is naturally scarce for my motherland, which has a relatively backward level of industrial production, but it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for you, right?"

"As far as I know, your domestic General Motors Inland Branch, IBM, Underwood Typewriter Company, Locke-Ora Jukebox Company, etc., all of them seem to have the ability to produce munitions."

"Is this what John said about the expensive cost of production?"

"In the eyes of your American companies, the cost and difficulty of building an arms production line may not be as good as that of a production line for producing automobiles, right?"

John was a little stunned when he heard this, and Kong Jie seemed to know a lot about the situation in his country.

The defeated John shook his head helplessly and sighed bitterly: "Okay, Xu, as long as you can come up with a price that satisfies me, all this will be as you wish." ”
