Chapter Seventy-Eight: Plan Ahead

It took 40 days to get to Shanghai, and I secretly decided not to make a boat in the future.

The housekeeper's grandfather has been to the dock for ten consecutive days to greet him, and naturally he has countless worries. The goods were handed over to Woody's managers, and the others went with them to the villa. Lao Chen's business is doing well, and he has made a profit of more than 500,000 oceans. The government has been distracted by the jamming of silver smuggling, and has instead lax its control over imports. Although the tariff power has been returned to the government of the Republic of China, those unscrupulous foreign businessmen, together with their consulates, still have a way to evade taxes, including their own companies under foreign names.

Grandpa sold gold to buy silver, and he also made a lot of profits; The purpose of the housekeeper's grandfather to come to Shanghai was mainly to buy bankrupt enterprises and equipment, textile mills, flour mills, and dyeing factories...... Nearly 10 enterprises have been acquired, and more than 20 enterprises have been introduced into Shaanxi. Grandpa's telegram has been stopped by the company, and he stayed in Shanghai to wait for himself.

briefly talked to the housekeeper's grandfather about Dawu's situation in the United States, and set off back to Xi'an. On the train, too, you have to hurry up and continue to write books.

It was already July 1 when I arrived in Xi'an, and I arranged for American friends to go to the hotel. When I got home, I saw a bunch of relatives standing at the gate to greet me, one by one, there was no way, they were all elders. Tell those little elders that the gift is still to come, don't be in a hurry. When I arrived in the middle hall, I kowtowed to my grandfather and grandfather, who had been waiting for a long time.

Grandpa and Grandpa took an uncle, two uncles and me to the study together.

The wind and rain all the way, hard writing, drinking fragrant tea that refreshed the lungs, even if I practiced martial arts, I felt tired as soon as I relaxed. Brace yourself and report carefully on your trip to the United States; Everyone sighed when they said that the income statistics when they left New York exceeded $15 million. My uncle said that he had earned 100 years and had not earned a fraction of this year.

"Grandpa, grandpa, the layout of the United States has begun, and we want to use this as the foundation to build our century-old foundation. It is necessary to arrange for people to go to the United States in a planned way to familiarize themselves with the situation, to study what should be studied, and to work when they should work. It takes a person with the ability to coordinate to sit in the United States for a long time, preferably an uncle. I can't control it in China, and the industry in the United States is not divided into the Li family and the Zhou family. What's more, more than half of the money in the United States is the credit of Aunt Liu. Haha, overall, it is me and Xiaoya's mother and daughter, and one third each with the Li family and the Zhou family. Until the end of the war, we must support the war of resistance, so there is no division; It is still too early to say whether it will develop together or separately. Everything in the country is what I used to fight the war, so I am not allowed to stretch out my hand. "This is a question that I have thought about again and again, some things must be made clear first, most people's eyes are red in the face of money.

Grandpa glanced at his grandfather and said, "I'll talk about manpower with your grandfather later." After you go to the United States, the development here is also very good, now the factories have been produced one after another, some civilian ones have begun to make profits, and the enterprises and equipment relocated from Shanghai are under construction; In Vinh Thanh, the small industrial area you mentioned has been formed, and the provincial government has praised your two uncles many times.

I didn't ask about the arsenal, you go back and ask your cousin; The things sent by your cousin have reached 2 million oceans. The newspaper has already begun to be published, and for the time being it will not have a large circulation! The income from drugs is 5 million oceans, so that your second uncle has also established a lot of contacts in the Central Army, as you said, it is to produce gold! I didn't expect your Aunt Liu to be so capable.

Now that the funds are very abundant, we will spare no effort to support you in whatever you want to do! ”

"Thank you grandfather, grandfather, uncle, uncle for your understanding and support!" I held the list to my grandfather and said, "This is the list of materials to be shipped one after another this time, and the civilian part of my grandfather and grandfather will look at it." I handled the arsenal and firearms, and I also brought two sets of well-drilling equipment and four American well-drilling workers, and my grandfather arranged for people to learn from them. Radio stations should also be built, both in name and commercial broadcasting, and the manpower arrangements should be very secure.

I plan to stay for half a year when I return to China, and I expect to go to the United States at the end of the year or early next year, and come back before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. The main purpose of this return is to make another layout before the war. ”

Seeing everyone thinking, he stopped, and after a while, grandpa said, "You keep talking!" ”

"This time I brought back 300 machine guns and 1,000 pistols, just to strengthen the protection of Yongshou, the purpose is not to fight, but to deter! A foreigner said well, 'If you want peace, prepare for war.' Shaanxi is about to be in chaos, and we must be cautious. It is certain that the Communist Party and the Red Army will come to Shaanxi, and they must have the ability to come; At that time, we will be very lively here, there are the Central Army, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the Red Army, all kinds of forces are intertwined and very complicated, and we can hardly afford to offend in front of these big forces!

If you can't afford to offend, you have to hide. With so many forces together, disputes are inevitable, so let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The second uncle may become the hardest and most aggrieved in the family, and it will be difficult to maneuver between various forces in order to fight for the survival space of the family. The family must give the second uncle the greatest support, there is no problem with money, even if I need to kill someone, I will arrange it! The second uncle can only protect himself well, and he can protect the family. ”

"Haha, don't worry, nephew! There is your word! Look at your second uncle's. ”

Stand up by yourself and bow to your second uncle and thank you! He continued: "In terms of industrial security, fortunately, there are Germans and Americans to do some cover, and we make good use of it." Grandpa and Grandpa, I suggest gradually withdrawing from the chaotic place of Xi'an, and Uncle does need the help of the second elder. The Red Army is so strong that I expect that the government will not be able to keep even the Shunyi and will reach the border area of Yongshou. ”

Grandpa and Grandpa were moved, and their eyes widened as they looked at me! Without explanation, there is no way to explain it. To continue:

"In the face of such a complicated situation, without grandpa and grandpa, others will be in danger. It's great that Uncle can do his best to deal with it in the county, and he doesn't have the energy to care about other things. The things that we have at the core of Yongshou, or the things that are dangerous, are arsenals and pharmaceutical factories. Grandpa and Grandpa need to enter and control, and the militia group has been notified of the secret expansion of the army by 2,000 people. The militia also needs to be controlled by grandpa and grandpa, and it is already difficult to rely on cousin alone, after all, grandpa knows where cousin's experience and ability are. ”

"What you said today is too serious, we have to think about it! You're also tired, rest first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow. Pick up the wind and wash the dust at night. ”

returned to the deserted courtyard with Tie Dan, and as soon as he came back, he thought about Xiaoya and them, and even Tie Dan lost his spirit. Everyone's mood was a little heavy, and the party was not lively, and the dinner ended hastily. The next day, I arranged for those Americans to do temporary repairs, visited Xi'an by the way, and began to correct the manuscript of "Mine Warfare" by themselves, waiting for the results of the discussion between Grandpa and Grandpa. It wasn't until after dinner that I went to the study to see my grandfather and grandfather, and my uncle and uncle were not there.

Grandpa got straight to the point and said: "Fang Wu, whether your guess is accurate or not, the situation in Xi'an is becoming more and more complicated but it is true. Your grandfather and I recently cleaned up the affairs of Xi'an, I went to Yongshou to sit in the town, your grandfather worked harder, and asked Xi'an, Yongshou, and Fuping to take turns. Your meaning is clear to the two uncles, and your uncle arranges for someone to take over his business and go to the United States with you. You have come back all the way, what do you want to do, how do you do it, how do you want us to help you? Let's talk about it! ”

"The following topic, grandpa and grandpa just need to know. Although it will be chaotic for a while, in the end it will still depend on the strength to speak, the one with great strength is the government, the other is the Communist Party, there is no need to underestimate the Communist Party, the Republic of China government has gathered almost all the warlords in the country, and there is no way to eliminate the existence, how can the strength be small. On the contrary, the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army are the least powerful, the Northwest Army is barren and congenitally insufficient, and the Northeast Army has become a wandering warlord if it loses it. With different interests and views, it is impossible for them to be free of disputes, and when the disputes are together, the outcome can be imagined! ”

"What you want to say about how to deal with the premise, we understand, you go on!"
