Chapter 124: A Piece of Fat
Qin Di and Yan Xue, the male and female thieves, after completing the amazing plunder, left the three eastern provinces, went straight to Kunlun Mountain, and practiced in the spiritual cave for two months, until August, when they returned to the magic capital, pretending to be nothing.
And as soon as they returned to the magic capital, they were surrounded by paparazzi again!
Fortunately, in this year, Yan Xue graduated from the Business School of Fudan University ahead of schedule, so she didn't have to go to school along a fixed route, and was followed by the paparazzi.
Qin Di hid the stolen gold in his storage belt, put his guns and ammunition in several secret mansions in the Demon Capital, and threw the cannons in the manor of Putuo Mountain.
He mixed US dollars and pounds into the payment of Cathay Pharmaceutical, and deposited it in major banks in installments. This requires taking time and quietly laundering the stolen money.
As for the piles of silver dollars, he also had to find a way to spend them slowly.
He summoned the directors of each hospital and increased the capital of each branch by one million oceans, and selected second-tier cities in the west, such as Dukou, Ya'an, Hanzhong, and Baoji, especially the places where the Great Red Army's Long March passed, and opened five new branches, expanding the number of "Ci'an Surgical Hospitals" to 30. These newly opened branches are stockpiled with medical supplies, which require a lot of money.
But even so, he couldn't spend the large amount of silver dollars he had stolen from the Northeast!
So he thought about it and prepared to slowly inject the remaining money into the Qin Clan's grain store to further increase the scale of grain reserves!
On August 16, Qin Di sat in his office, pondered the map for a long time, and decided to build a granary in "Hancheng", Shaanxi.
Hancheng is located on the edge of the Yellow River, only a few hundred miles from Xi'an and Yan'an. Building a granary here is equivalent to putting a piece of fat in the mouths of two tigers.
Qin Di deliberately chose this place because he wanted to give back the stolen money to the people of the inland northwest.
Of course, he only sells grain at a low price, and will not blatantly provoke anyone. Whoever wants to rob can rob it, but the bandits can't.
Downstream from Hancheng, the Yellow River is relatively wide and easy to reach by ship. From here, the Yellow River narrows, the water is turbulent, and the Hukou Waterfall is blocked, which is no longer suitable for navigation.
Qin Di called Sun Sheng and Zhou Ming over to ask for their opinions.
These two men had been running around for many years, and there were forty or fifty people under them, many of whom were workers in the mill.
Qin Di had seen those workers, listened to them from Lixu, and knew that there were two members of the Great Red Party, one was called "Han Jiang" and the other was "Han Shaoqi".
Sure enough, Sun Sheng also recommended them, saying that the father and son were reliable and northerners, so they could be asked about it.
So Qin Di called Han Jiang and Han Shaoqi for questioning.
Among them, Han Jiang is relatively old, almost fifty years old, with gray hair and a kind smile on his weather-beaten face.
He is from Shanxi, went to private school in his early years, came to the magic capital, just started to work in the printing and dyeing factory, because he can speak well, and also knows some accounting knowledge, he is quite influential among the workers, and recently helped Sun Sheng do a lot of things.
Han Shaoqi is his son, only in his twenties, with a strong body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, running around with him.
The two of them saw the Qin family for the first time, and they were curious from the bottom of their hearts.
They saw a lot of news from the newspaper, and heard that this Qin Dashao was addicted to women and didn't do business.
Qin Di asked Han Jiang, "Where is your home?"
Han Jiang replied with a smile: "Young Master Qiyu, I am from Yuncheng, Shanxi. ”
"Then have you ever been to Hanseong?"
"I've been there, my grandfather is from Hancheng, which was called 'Korea' in ancient times, and there are many people with the surname Han, but because of the difficult life, I have to run around. When I was a teenager, I went to Hancheng with my father to worship my ancestors. ”
"So, can you still find distant relatives in Hancheng?"
"Yes, some people haven't come out of the Five Blessings yet!"
"I want to build a granary in Hancheng with a storage capacity of at least one million tons, and I want to hear your opinion. ”
Han Jiang was stunned: "Young Master, why did you build the granary there? Hancheng is a small city with a population of only fifty or sixty thousand, and there are often bandits, so it is not peaceful. ”
Qin Di made an unfathomable appearance, looked up at the sky and said: "I watched the sky at night and found a big fire, heading straight to the northwest, there may be a great famine in the northwest in the future!"
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Hancheng was located on the west bank of the Yellow River, and according to historical records, due to the cooperation of the two parties, the Japanese army attacked five times, and did not cross the Yellow River into Shaanxi.
Han Jiang looked at him blankly, wanting to laugh in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh.
Han Shaoqi lowered his head, tried his best to hold back a smile, and said in his heart: "What an idiot! The newspaper is right! It's just a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it! But his life is too good, there is so much money in the family, he can't spend it all in his life!"
Qin Di retracted his gaze and stared at the two of them: "If I send you over, provide one million oceans, plus thirty light machine guns, and a hundred rifles, and let you gather people, can you do this?"
Hearing this, the father and son were shocked!
If before, they still suspected that Qin Dashao was joking, then the latter paragraph does not seem like child's play!
Han Jiang thought to himself: "A million oceans are a lot of money for others, but they are drizzling in the hands of Qin Dashao! As for so many weapons, as long as they have money, they can naturally buy them! Bandits can buy guns, let alone Qin Dashao!"
Han Shaoqi pulled his father's sleeve from behind, thinking that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Han Jiang's heart was beating wildly, but he forced himself to remain calm, and said, "Young Master, can you let us think about it for two days, discuss it with the mother-in-law at home, and reply to you the morning after tomorrow?"
Qin Di knew that they wanted to ask for the opinions of their superiors, so he nodded: "Don't worry, I'll give you three days, and when you think it through, it's not too late to reply to me." ”
The father and son walked out of the office in a daze, stopped where no one was, and whispered a few words.
Han Shaoqi said: "Dad, why don't you agree on the spot? Thirty light machine guns! We will leave ten is enough, and the rest will be sent to the Soviet area!"
Han Jiang said: "Don't talk nonsense! Do you think Qin Dashao is really stupid? Afterwards, he will send someone to check, and when the number of guns is not enough, we will be exposed! At that time, he only needs to say a word, and he will be able to ask for our heads!"
"Then what should I do? Do you want to let go of this opportunity? Don't forget, there are still millions of oceans! Even if you draw 10,000 yuan to pay the party dues!"
"Wait for me to report this matter and follow the arrangement of my superiors!"
That night, the matter was reported to the Magic Capital Working Committee.
At this time, the Great Red Army had not yet had a Long March, and there was only one Shaanxi-Gansu guerrilla force in Shaanxi, with less than 1,000 members, so no one could guess the purpose of Qin Di's establishment of a granary in Hancheng.
However, Qin's grain stores are all over the world, and it is great to help the people.
Therefore, after careful discussion, the comrades of the working committee decided to send Han Jiang and Han Shaoqi to go, whether it is a machine gun or a rifle, they cannot be taken away at will, but in the process of recruiting security guards, they can recruit more poor and middle peasants, and strive to train them into their own army.
