Fengxian Jiangshan

Now that I have come to this era, I can't let the Japanese conspiracy succeed. Even if I don't have the power to completely defeat the Japanese, I still have to add some obstacles to them. ;

Chapter 11 Cooperation

"Shopkeeper Liu, you can remind me with a good word, which shows that you are a good person. But once the Japanese ran on you, he backed away and gave up. Are you really willing?"

Zhang Tinglan's words hit Liu Shucheng's pain, subconsciously his face flushed, his fists clenched, and his joints turned white.He said sadly and angrily: "Master, can I be willing to give up the decades-old brand? This is the painstaking effort of two generations of our family, I hate it!"

Speaking of this, Liu Shucheng was a little depressed again: "I also found a lot of officials, but when I heard that the Japanese were involved, these grandchildren ran away. As the saying goes, a bachelor does not fight for power, so what can I do?" Woolen cloth!"

"If I give you power, do you dare to fight?"

From the very beginning, Liu Shucheng felt that the three teenagers who dared to come here and spend a lot of money to buy their own shop must not be ordinary people. Now that Zhang Tinglan said this, he immediately felt that Zhang Tinglan and the others must have a strong background.

So he immediately asked: "This young master, who are you, I hope to enlighten you!"

"My father is Zhang Tinglan. My father is Zhang Zuoxiang." He pointed to Zhang Xueliang while speaking: "This is Zhang Xueliang, the son of Master Zhang Zuolin." Liu Shucheng woke up like a dream when he heard it. He also said that he wanted to ask Zhang Zuolin to help him talk, but he didn't expect them to appear in front of him now.

"It turns out that you are a general, disrespectful! Young master Zhang, you have such a status that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, so why buy a shophouse?" Liu Shucheng couldn't help asking, he was instinctively afraid of these bearded soldiers, These "mustaches" also made him feel nervous, is it because the other party wants to steal by chance!

"How can we not need it? We also need to eat and earn money. To tell you the truth, our 27th division got a batch of flour. The quantity is not too much. It is more than 20 catties. I want to sell it for silver."

Zhang Tinglan got a total of about 30 catties, distributed some to Brother 27, and kept a little more. About 20 catties could be sold. This figure is not too small in Liu Shucheng's opinion.At this time, the staple food of the people in Northeast China is still sorghum rice. They only buy some white flour for making dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Not many people can afford it.Sihai Grain Shop does not buy so much white flour for a year.

"Master Zhang, forgive me for talking too much, it seems that it is not easy to get rid of so much flour!"

"It's okay, my price is low!" Zhang Tinglan said with a slight smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, how much is a load of white noodles in the market?"

"Let's ask for four yuan, one or two, there is no less than four yuan!"

"The best white flour, I sell it for [-] yuan a load, and I can buy it for [-] yuan, or even lower is also acceptable!"

Zhang Tinglan made food without any cost other than buying off the Russians, so the price can be kept very low.However, this price immediately made Liu Shucheng dizzy. Unlike other commodities, as long as there is no serious turbulence or natural disaster, the price is relatively stable most of the time, and grain merchants rely on quantity to make money.

Zhang Tinglan lowered the price by more than [-]% with just one mouthful. This is absolutely crazy to the extreme, as long as a normal person would not do it.Being able to keep the price so low can only prove that the food is not a good source. Reminiscent of Zhang Tinglan's identity, Liu Shucheng is even more sure that this is probably someone who used his power to rob people or wealthy businessmen, and he will never change his beard. nature!

Zhang Tinglan didn't notice what was going on in Liu Shucheng's heart. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Liu, our 27th division is willing to cooperate with you and provide you with continuous help. Are you willing to continue the business?"

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's question, Liu Shucheng's heart was full of ups and downs. He was unwilling to admit defeat to the Japanese, but he absolutely could not accept the dirty money he earned by cooperating with these Qiu Ba, so Liu Shucheng sighed and said: " Young Master Zhang, I don't have the courage anymore, I will write you the paperwork now!"

Liu Shucheng was still full of grief and indignation just now, but in a blink of an eye he became very depressed, and Zhang Tinglan was also confused.

He was aware of the Japanese conspiracy, so he couldn't make it easier for the Japanese. The most important thing now was to draw in all forces to deal with the Japanese together. Zhang Tinglan was still weak.Liu Shucheng has been in Fengtian for many years, he is familiar with the industry and has enough connections, so Zhang Tinglan really wants to win him over to help her, but Liu Shucheng's sudden change of attitude makes him a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps protruding from behind the cabinet door, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen came out.

It was Liu Shucheng's only woman, Liu Xiu'e, who came. She also cared more about family affairs, so she followed Liu Shucheng secretly all the time. She listened to most of Zhang Tinglan's words behind the door, and she couldn't help cheering in her heart.

I didn't expect that the 27th teacher would come to the door without having to find someone by myself, but why didn't her father agree? She walked out in a hurry and grabbed Liu Shucheng's hand: "Father, how can you not accept the kindness of Master Zhang?" What about refusing?"

Liu Shucheng frowned, waved his hand suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Girl, Dad doesn't want to be stabbed in the back, we can't touch dirty things!"

He said this sentence not only to his daughter, but also to Zhang Tinglan.He thought that Zhang Tinglan's food came from a wrong source, so he didn't want to get involved. Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan immediately understood the reason for Liu Shucheng's changes.He felt a little admiration for this Liu Shucheng. At least this person has a bottom line in his heart and can do something and not do something.

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't rush to refuse, let me tell you the truth, this food is indeed not a good source, but it has not harmed the interests of the Chinese people in the slightest, and although our 27th division was born as a bandit, it is also in this black land. You can rest assured that you will never harm your compatriots." Zhang Tinglan said a few words, and Liu Shucheng was a little at a loss. Since it did not harm the common people, how did the food come from? Could it be that the military food is not enough? ?

"Mr. Liu, if you trust me, let's have a good talk. From the bottom of my heart, I am willing to cooperate with someone like you who has principles and positions!"

Liu Shucheng was also confused, he brought Zhang Tinglan to the reception room, and the two sat opposite each other, Zhang Tinglan told Liu Shucheng the whole story.He also told him his inferences about the Japanese. Of course, Zhang Tinglan would not say everything. He just told Liu Shucheng that a war was taking place in Europe. The material consumption was astonishing, and the benefits were also huge. The Japanese controlled Fengtian's business by using Chinese products. to make money.

Liu Shucheng was shocked when he first heard that Zhang Tinglan dared to take advantage of foreigners and start with Russian military supplies. This guy is really daring, and he is indeed a descendant of Huzi.The Russians are so cruel, and taking advantage of them is like pulling teeth out of their mouths, and he simply doesn't know what to say.

But what shocked him even more was that Zhang Tinglan had seen through the wishful thinking of the Japanese, and he also admired this insight very much.As a Chinese businessman, Liu Shucheng also has simple emotions, and he must not let China's rights and interests be lost.

Especially when he thought of the Japanese gaining ten times and a hundred times the profits through the products of the three eastern provinces, an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.

"Master Zhang, I, Liu, am also from Fengtian, so I can't just sit back and watch the Japanese bully us while making huge profits with our blood and sweat. I will follow you!"

After thinking for a while, he completely agreed with Zhang Tinglan's proposal for cooperation, and Zhang Tinglan also showed a gratified smile to get the help of this local snake.

The two parties decided that Zhang Tinglan would provide a stable source of food and security guarantees, and Liu Shucheng would be in charge of the operation. At the same time, they would contact other reliable businessmen at the appropriate time to jointly safeguard Fengtian's commercial interests.In terms of share distribution, Fengtian Xingye Company under the name of Zhang Tinglan holds 80.00% of the shares, while Liu Shucheng holds 20.00%.

Although this share may not seem much, but after the business grows bigger, the profit will definitely be ten times or a hundred times that of before, so Liu Shucheng is also very satisfied. ;

Chapter 12 Porcelain

After the cooperation agreement between the two parties was finalized, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly left Sihai Foods and returned to the 27th Division's station. Along the way, like a curious baby, Zhang Xueliang asked Zhang Tinglan what he and Liu Shucheng had talked about.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that it was very important for local tyrants like Zhang Zuolin to understand Japan's aggression methods and sinister intentions as soon as possible. The war between the two countries was no longer something that Ming Daoming robbed. The importance of economic warfare has reached unprecedented heights.It can be said that if the economy loses the initiative and independence, it will also fail militarily.

If you want to influence Zhang Zuolin, you must first influence Zhang Xueliang, and it will definitely be much easier for Xiao Zhang to educate Lao Zhang.Therefore, Zhang Tinglan also told Zhang Xueliang her speculation about the Japanese economic aggression.It was also the first time for Zhang Xueliang to hear other people say these things. In the past, teachers also chanted the slogan of saving the country by industry, but most of them were too empty, and there was nothing specific at all.

Zhang Tinglan is different, she is completely pointing to the core.When the Japanese control the grain market, they can manipulate grain prices, and then they can use grain to cause chaos in China.After mastering the export, the crops and ores dug out by the Chinese will become tools for the Japanese to make huge profits, and the Chinese will not even get any hard money.

Zhang Xueliang was stunned by these things, but he also really agreed with Zhang Tinglan's insights. No wonder his father asked him to learn from Zhang Tinglan. It seems that Zhang Tinglan really has something in his stomach. In Zhang Xueliang's heart, Zhang Tinglan's status has rapidly increased.

Since ancient times, he has paid attention to the speed of soldiers. After Zhang Tinglan returned, he immediately transferred the flour from the warehouse of the 27th Division and loaded it into the carriage.He also dispatched twenty capable soldiers to assist him in transporting the flour to the Four Seas Food Company.

Liu Shucheng had also cleared out the grain store's warehouse a long time ago. When the flour arrived, Liu Shucheng took a special look at it. They were all high-quality white flour, and the quality was absolutely high. You can buy at least four yuan for a load of such flour in the market. two.

After discussing with Zhang Tinglan, he set the price of flour at [-] yuan. If it exceeds [-] catties, the price will be reduced to [-] yuan. This is definitely a very attractive price. It's two cents cheaper.

Liu Shucheng was full of excitement and worked hard all night before transporting all the flour into the warehouse.

In the next day, all the front rooms of Sihai Grain Co., Ltd. were filled with flour. Liu Shucheng also specially wrote the words "selling cheap flour" on red paper, and posted them all outside. At dawn, a large number of customers came to the granary. shop, they are all attracted by the low price.

Liu Shucheng immediately became busy, his feet barely touching the ground, but although he was tired, his heart was very happy. At noon, Liu Shucheng came to the backyard, where Zhang Tinglan was drinking tea comfortably.

"Master Zhang, you are so leisurely, but Lao Liu, I am so busy that I am dizzy!"

"Old Liu, don't complain. We have set the rules. It's my turn to take care of things that you can't solve. Sell something now, can't you handle it?"

Liu Shucheng drank a cup of tea, and then said: "Don't look at the crowd, but this little thing is nothing. What I am most worried about now is the unstable supply of goods. Two grain stores approached me this morning. They said that if the grain price They have been able to maintain this price, and they are willing to buy from us for a long time. But I am worried that our food supply will not be stable, this batch is sold out, when will the next batch arrive?"

Zhang Tinglan also considered this point. After all, pointing at Russia's military supplies is not a long-term solution, and it is impossible for Zhang Tinglan to put all his energy on food.

"Old Liu, don't you also have purchase channels? We have restored all these channels. With the support of the brothers from the 27th Division, you don't have to worry about those Japanese wanderers. In addition, we can raise funds through Russian military supplies. With these windfalls As a basis, we are not afraid to engage in a price war with the Japanese!"

"Master Zhang, my old Liu understands it. You can solve all the problems in one sentence. It's no wonder you can be so leisurely. I will be miserable, old Liu. I'm just a hard worker!" Liu Shucheng said with a smile on his face. He also showed a smile, with such a backer to shield him from the wind and rain, he doesn't have to worry about other things at all, as long as he manages the business wholeheartedly, that's enough.

For three days in a row, this parity food store was very lively. There was an endless stream of people from Fengtian who came to buy flour, and the popularity was sufficient. Not only flour, but also other sorghum rice, rice, etc. were also selling well.Relying on the profit of flour, Liu Shucheng can let go of the price war, and the business of this grain store will naturally flourish.

Some people are happy and some are sad. Liu Shucheng's opponent, Zhang Youliang, the owner of Sanhe Food Co., Ltd., is standing at the door of the grain store and looking in the direction of Sihai Food Co. flow of people.

Not to mention how uncomfortable Zhang Youliang felt. Seeing that Sihai Food Co., Ltd. was run over by him and closed down, but Xianyu turned over, it was really hard to figure out the reason.Now that the Sihai Food Company is alive, Sanhe Food Company will be in trouble. You must know that the Japanese have the smallest minds and are the most calculating. They provided Zhang Youliang with money and low-priced food. If this does not destroy Sihai Food All right, the Japanese will let Zhang Youliang repay the debt. Thinking of this, Zhang Youliang felt cold on the back of his neck.

When he was in a state of desperation, a Japanese ronin in a kimono walked over with bowed legs.

"Zhang Sang, I have done many things for you and suffered a lot. Why haven't you seen the one you promised to give to me as a flower girl?"
