On May 23, 1928, the seventh day that everyone came here, Qin Dao spent two more days carefully reading the ledgers and documents. After looking at the accounts of the past year or so, he has a clearer understanding of how the Huo enterprise is a behemoth, such as the electrical industry, the dye industry, the wine industry, the textile industry, the cement industry, the fishery industry, various mining, land transportation industry, shipping industry, agriculture, printing, education, media, shipbuilding industry, and financial industry. To put it bluntly, in this era, all the businesses that can be done by the Huo family have been involved. If you put this company in 70 years, it will definitely be a company that can compete for hegemony in the world.

Thinking of this, Qin Dao sighed lightly, after seventy years, no country could allow the existence of such a giant.

Huo Yinghong was sitting opposite Qin Dao at this time, and Qin Dao put away his thoughts and said

"Now the problem is very serious, in the past year or so, you have acquired a lot of new businesses, in a short period of time the amount of liquidity began to increase, which makes you have a kind of illusion that the funds are sufficient, about a year ago your Huo's enterprises began to purchase a large number of iron, copper, lead, tungsten, raw silk, tung oil, bristles, cashmere, thick cotton cloth and other military supplies. Judging from the accounts, you may have provided the troops on the red side at first, but the materials you purchased since half a year ago were no longer digestible, but you did not stop purchasing and began to hoard. After that, out of control, you went through dozens of trading companies and began to frantically scan goods. The targets were mainly focused on pig bristles, tung oil, duck feathers, goose feathers, and other important military supplies that were only produced in China. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Dao paid attention to his grandfather's expression, and at this moment, a drop of sweat the size of a bean was oozing from his grandfather's forehead.

"Brother Qin, how did you do it. This information is definitely not something that can be seen from these ledgers. ”

"Of course, I can't see anything just by looking at your account books, and I made a conclusion based on your capital inflow and outflow, and the price trend of these materials and some transaction records, combined with the warehousing situation in Shanghai, Beiping, Jinmen, and Xiangjiang."

Huo Yinghong took a deep breath of cold air and said, "Brother Qin, you are really a god, no one will believe you when you say it, you can know the world without leaving home, you are definitely Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other characters." The little brother admires, admires. If ......"

Qin Dao interrupted his grandfather's words and continued, "I haven't finished speaking, you may have been competing with the Dongying people for resources at first, but I didn't expect that the devil's dedication to these things exceeded your expectations, the price of goods is rising, and the price of some goods has even been fried to more than ten times, and then you start to be afraid, you are afraid that the business war will go in an uncontrollable direction, but you still want to continue to drag the retreat of the Dongying people, which makes you neither advance nor retreat." Little by little, these goods become hot potatoes. You can't eat it, and you can't throw it away. The stalemate has become a huge burden for the entire Huo's family, and all the goods left in the warehouse have to pay huge storage fees every day, and the goods are moldy and moth-eaten almost every day to bear huge losses, and these wealth has become a time bomb for Huo's family. ”

"Brother Qin, is there a way for you to ......?"

"Yes, I can save you and the Qin Clan. But. ”

"Brother Qin, you say, if you have any requirements, don't hesitate to mention them."

"I don't have any requests, but we need three chapters of the law."

"You say."

"First, for five days, you need to obey me absolutely and not question all my decisions."

Fok Yinghong hesitated slightly.

"You can think about it, but I know you're running out of time." As he spoke, he took out a deposit slip and handed it over.

"This is HSBC's certificate of deposit in one million United Nations Dollars. It's all my possessions, and it should be enough for you to survive five days. ”

Fok Yinghong was just about to speak.

Qin Dao said again, "Don't shirk, you know better than anyone else, if you don't have this money, your Qin clan may not last three days, and there will be a burst of the embankment, this money may not be much for the Huo clan, but it can solve your urgent need." ”

Huo Yinghong no longer shirked and put away the deposit slip

"Okay, I promise, I will fully support any decision you make in the next five days."

"Second, if this matter is done, you can't reveal my identity to the outside world, and you can't force me to do something I don't like afterwards, I just love to paint, don't bother me."

Qin Dao knew that this ancestor named Qin Shangwu was his great-grandfather, a non-party person, who donated money and materials for the Anti-Japanese War, but he had never been involved in any struggle in his life, and he didn't want to make trouble, so he had to do things cleanly.

Huo Yinghong was a little hesitant at the moment, obviously he had a lot of words and plans

"But ......"

Qin Dao interrupted him, "No, but, if you don't agree, I'll leave immediately." ”

"Even if Brother Qin, you turn around and leave, I won't vomit unpleasantly with some words. The country is in danger, and it is the responsibility of the husband. Not to mention a talent like Brother Qin. If you are willing to go out of the mountain, don't talk about one Qin company, even if five Qin families are gone, I am willing to do it. ”

Qin Dao smiled, his grandfather was still the same visionary and far-sighted, Qin Dao admired his grandfather very much at the moment. He couldn't turn around and leave, he knew his grandfather's stubbornness, if he didn't convince him. Don't do anything.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and the weaker the country, the more it is necessary for everyone in the country to do their part. You are a businessman, and it is understandable that you use the money you earn from doing business to save the country. I'm a man of letters, and I have things I need to do. Let the whole world see the prosperity of our Chinese culture, this is what I should do. “

Qin Dao is very aware of his grandfather's character, and it is not as useful to say that a thousand ways and ten thousand are not as useful as a specious righteousness.

There was silence, and the room fell silent.

Oh, Huo Yinghong sighed lightly and said, "Okay, Brother Qin, I promise you that I won't force you to do anything anymore." ”

Qin Dao also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He knew that getting his grandfather to agree to this was actually the hardest thing.

"Third, I won't lend you my million for nothing, it's my investment."

"Of course, you have not only helped me Huo's Enterprise, but also helped our tens of thousands of employees and countless families. You contribute money and effort, all by your own ability, as it should be. ”

"Afterwards, I still need you to help me with a little thing."

"Okay, Brother Qin."

"We, a word is a decision, a high-five is an oath."

"A word is a certainty, a high-five is an oath."

......

The hall of several hundred square meters of the young marshal's mansion is now covered with thousands of portraits of spine beasts, Yanhua and Muzishan, carefully classified and checked.

"Monk, your three apprentices are really enough. This painting is similar to the photo. That's all it took three days to paint. ”

"Of course, with the car of the Young Marshal's Mansion, the entire Beiping City can't go anywhere. Cultivators, this bit of eyesight and the effort in their hands are of no use to them. ”

"You are talking as if these apprentices were really cultivated by you."

Li Xiaoxiao walked down from the second floor at this moment and said, "We are running out of time, we have to go back before May 30 when the marshal will come to Beiping, and the dance party on the 29th is the best time for us to act, so we still have five days to find out the place." ”

"By the way, what are you doing upstairs these days? He has good eyesight, so let him go downstairs and watch it together. Yanhua muttered

"He's concocting a manifestation potion. Also make a face mask. Don't bother him. ”

"What are you for?"

He wanted to see if there were any other secrets in the photo, and the face mask was for him to use for his ball.

"The manifestation potion, ask him what kind of lieutenant is going to ask for it. They must have it in the military. ”

"I've tried it all, but it's useless, the young marshal said, he used the ancient method to mix it up."

"You said that our God of Wealth, why hasn't he been found for so long?" Yanhua asked

The young marshal said, he must have encountered something else if he didn't come. That's all four of us. ”

Mu Zishan also catered at this moment: "We found it so quickly." How do you think he's a little unreliable. ”

"I also asked him the same question, and he said that in the original era, forty percent may be in Beiping, and forty percent may be in Shanghai, and you are coincidental, just in Beiping."

"Then where is the second percent?"

"In Xiangjiang. He said that the Qin family has been in Xiangjiang for generations, and he should be in Xiangjiang, and if he rushes over, it will take almost ten days on the road. It's better for everyone to act separately. ”

The door to the villa was pushed open, and Adjutant Gan ran in.

"Miss Li, someone from Dongying Kingdom has come to ask for someone."

"Gather up all the things on the floor, and don't leave a single one."

In the study on the second floor, Qin Dao looked at the visitor, a well-looking man was wearing a neat suit and a handful of sanitary beards, Zhang Qilu glanced at him and always felt a little familiar.

Behind him stood a beautiful woman, wearing a tender green kimono, the cuffs and corners of the clothes were embroidered with a few cauliflower embellishments, the whole person was full of spring breath, elegant, pure, and weak.

Zhang Qilu always felt that this girl was also a little familiar, and kept looking at the girl.

Li Xiaoxiao found a set of tea sets, cooked tea elegantly, and rolled her eyes from time to time.

Qin Dao was holding a cigar in his hand, smoking without a sip, and he had no intention of opening his mouth at all.

"Young marshal, I don't know what the reason for inviting us here." It was the Japanese who spoke first. He spoke standard Chinese dialect.

Zhang Qilu took a puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled, "How could I invite you here, I don't know who you are." It's just that a few days ago, I happened to meet a woman from Dongying Kingdom in the villa, so I asked which girl it was. I didn't expect you to come. That's right for who you are. ”

The man pretended to take out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, but Zhang Qilu could see it clearly, this person was pretending, there was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Qilu didn't want to communicate in such a frivolous way, but at this moment, his identity was really unavoidable.

"I'm sorry, I didn't report myself, I'm Seiji Kimura, and I'm the person in charge of the Beiping area of the Dongying Chamber of Commerce."

"Say, what's your name?"

"Seiji Kimura."

At this moment, Zhang Qilu's mind was a little foggy, and he believed that Li Xiaoxiao was the same as him at this time.

This man reminded them of Toshiran Kimura who disappeared before the door was broken.

Seiji Kimura continued, "Actually, I am basically a Chinese, my mother is a Huhai person, and I was basically born in China and grew up in China. By the way, let me explain to you, this girl is my cousin, a native of Huhai, Xiang Nanxi. ”

Hearing this name, Zhang Qilu's whole person stiffened, this girl turned out to be a girl from the Xiang family.
