Chapter 70: The sincerity of exchanging gifts

Today's dinner was rich enough, Xiaoyu made eight dishes, two soups, and two pots of rice, which made everyone addicted.

Wen Qiang knew that this girl was Pan Sen's sister, and constantly admired her cooking skills, and finally couldn't help it, and took out a piece of mutton fat jade pendant that he carried with him and gave it to Xiaoyu, others didn't know the preciousness of this thing, but the driver Xiao Lie he brought was the son of Wen Qiang's own family, and he grew up in Wen's family since he was a child.

Everyone else saw that there was a reason for it, so Xiaoyu refused: "Brother Nianwu, this is too valuable, I can't accept it." ”

Li Junhao also said: "Nian Wu, there is no need, just have the mind......

"Junhao, Xiaoyu called me big brother, I have to continue!" Wen Qiang said, "Let's be honest, my brother was not stingy just now, but this jade pendant is the identity jade inherited by my Wen family for hundreds of years, and it has a special meaning, as long as Xiaoyu takes it, it can be regarded as a person in the genealogy of my Wen family, once something happens, tens of thousands of Wen family children are obliged to help!" This is my highest intention as a big brother, and it is also the testimony of you, me, and her three brothers and sisters, don't refute my face! ”

Hearing the words, Li Junhao could only say: "Xiaoyu accept it, I will recognize this big brother for you!" ”

Xiaoyu obediently bowed down and took the jade pendant with both hands, and said solemnly: "Lei Xiaoyu, thank you, big brother!" ”

In this way, everyone is happy. The driver's younger brother also had nothing to say, so he could only recognize the new lady.

Others made extraordinary shots, of course, Li Junhao couldn't be stingy, and immediately went upstairs and "took" a set of modified versions of Browning M1910 male and female gift guns to Wen Qiang, and two hardcover versions of Browning M1935 high-power pistols were given to the driver Xiaolie as a return gift. Although in his mind, the value of these four guns is far less than the value of mutton fat jade, but in the eyes of Wen Qiang and Xiao Lie, they are very good gifts! Xiao Lie, in particular, couldn't put down the two M1935s, so he immediately brought them to his body and threw aside the original M1911A1 on his body.

After dinner, Xiaoyu, Xiaohu and Xiaoagni chatted in the living room downstairs, each took out his pistol, and exchanged experiences with guns while maintaining and maintaining, chatting enthusiastically; Li Junhao dragged Wen Qiang upstairs to the study to drink beer and continue the previous topic.

Wen Qiang has also seen the world, and he has also drunk beer, at this time, he drank this kind of canned California lager, and after getting used to it for a few sips, he completely accepted it, and said with a smile: "Junhao, the taste of this wine was a little guide at first, and I thought it was quite delicious after drinking too much!" ”

"You can drink the best, beer is relatively nutritious, I'll drink some, take a few cases with me when I leave." Li Junhao smiled, "This was given by a foreign bank boss, and I have quite a few here." ”

"That's good." Wen Qiang didn't know either, nodded and agreed, the two sides had exchanged gifts before, and a few cases of beer were trivial matters. At this time, he was really a little surprised when he saw the books on the bookshelves and desks, and said, "Junhao, do you usually read these books?" ”

"yes!" Li Junhao said with a smile, "My grandfather is Chinese, Chinese characters have been learned since childhood, but I still don't learn enough about Chinese ancient books, and now I come to China to work, of course, I have to make up for this lesson!" ”

"Brother, you are talented!" Wen Qiang knows the difficulty of learning ancient texts, when he read Wen's private school, he just memorized the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", he didn't know how many beatings he had been beaten by Mr., and when he was older, he joined the New Culture Movement, and he has always been grateful for ancient texts, but this foreign guy in front of him was reading the Four Books and Five Classics, which made him have to admire!

After a few idle words, the two began to talk about business, and soon set up the first material transaction, Li Junhao will organize cotton yarn and cotton cloth, mechanical and electrical products, paper stationery, daily necessities and other sources in Shanghai, Wen Qiang contacted Chongqing to form three strategic materials, and the two sides carried out barter trade; As for the key transportation issues, they need to be discussed again and cannot be decided at this time.

At nine o'clock, Wen Qiang said goodbye and left, taking four cases of beer with him. After sending him away, Xiaoyu and Xiaohu checked the god box in the banquet hall and found that there were exquisite Suzhou embroidery and Hunan embroidery silk, porcelain from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, liquor from Guizhou, ginseng and mink from the Northeast, tea from Fujian, etc., there were nearly 20 kinds of things, and there was a small box containing ten large yellow croakers and 20,000 legal currency.

When the gold bars and fiat currency were sent to Li Junhao, he was going to laugh - is this the style of the military commander? Accepted the gold bars and 20,000 fiat currency, Xiaoyu and Xiaohu each gave 1,000, not that he was unwilling to give more, but that young people should have rules and learn to look at money correctly and use money, which is the experience of his previous life.

-----------------

Wen Qiang, who left Dequlou, returned to Liqun Foreign Bank on Sima Road, arranged for Xiao Lie to monitor the situation outside at the window, took out the hidden radio station and began to send a report, there are a lot of things to talk about today, of course, many contents cannot be told to the headquarters, but about barter trade, you still have to hurry up and ask for instructions.

Although the security of reporting during the day is higher, in Shanghai, the capital of commerce and espionage, there are too many spy stations and commercial stations, and the problem of radio signal interference with each other is very serious. In particular, after receiving the telegram, the headquarters will have to discuss that it is the right time to receive the call back tomorrow evening.

-----------------

The Military Commander's Room A (Confidential Room) at the Garden Mansion at No. 19 Luojiawan on the Yuzhong Peninsula in Chongqing is where Deputy Director Dai Li works, and the military commander's open office is at the Hunan Guild Hall in Wanglongmen, where there are departments such as the Clerical Section, the Archives Unit, and the Secret Letter Unit.

After receiving Wen Qiang's telegram, there was also a special person who translated the telegram and immediately sent it to Dai Li. At this time, it was already late at night, but because it was an eventful time, Dai Li was still working overtime, and he saw Wen Qiang's report as soon as possible.

After reading it, Dai Li was a little excited, Wen Qiang connected with that Pan Sen so quickly, and negotiated a barter trade method, and it seemed to have strong operability.

After thinking about it for a while, he called his secretary Mao Renfeng and arranged for him to formulate a method for the implementation of barter trade, and also to check the prices of goods on both sides, and especially told him that he must set aside enough profits for the other party. For reasons of secrecy, he didn't even tell Mao Renfeng who the other party was.

After arranging this, Dai Lian lit a cigar, leaned back in his chair, and thought with some emotion, this Wen Qiang is indeed capable, but his background, background, and experience are too extraordinary, and it is really impossible to fully believe it!
