Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Although Xiushui's troops were relatively weak, with only two armies, most of the troops were newly reorganized, poorly equipped, and weak in combat effectiveness, but the Xiushui area was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to deploy large forces.

After five full months of confrontation between the Nakai Division and the Saito Division and the Ninth War Zone, they finally fought again, and the first Changsha battle kicked off.

On October 10, the headquarters building of Dongxing Trading Group Corporation in New York.

Meng Wu'an presided over the third quarter summary meeting of the group company, and the participants were either senior executives of various branches or heads of important departments.

At present, Dongxing Trading Group has expanded into branches such as trading companies, clothing companies, entertainment companies, food companies, pharmaceutical companies, logistics companies, paper products companies, catering companies and publishing houses.

Its key products include silk stockings, men's and women's clothing, Coca-Cola, instant noodles, luncheon meat, penicillin, Harry Potter novels, sanitary napkins, and McDonald's chain fast food restaurants, etc.

For more than a year, Dongxing Trading Group has grown from nothing, like a snowball, and has vaguely had the aura of a commercial empire.

At present, the tentacles of the group company are not only extending to all Chinese-inhabited areas in the United States, but also rapidly extending to all large and medium-sized cities in the United States. In a year at most, an extremely tight business network and interest chain will be built.

One day in the future, Yang Fan will even be able to manipulate the political circles. Even the President of the United States will not be able to make unfavorable decisions and plans for China.

If Yang Fan did not allocate a large amount of funds to purchase strategic materials, but instead devoted himself to commercial development, the current size of Dongxing Trading Company would have to grow several times.

As the Dongxing Trading Group Company grew bigger and bigger, in order to consolidate its foundation and make steady progress, Yang Fan successively sent an elite team of nearly a hundred people to the United States to help Meng Wu'an maintain the situation.

Xia Yu's father, Xia Houcheng, and mother, Shi Lanxin, also returned to the United States to flex their muscles. After all, China was at war, and the wartime economy implemented by the Huben Army Defense Zone was not a market economy.

Industries such as military enterprises, transportation, banking and finance, water and electricity, urban construction, chemical plants, food processing, etc. are all firmly controlled by Yang Fan, and Xia Houcheng and his wife do not have much room to display their talents.

Therefore, after many considerations, Xia Houcheng returned to the United States on a merchant ship under Yang Fan's suggestion to help Meng Wu'an manage the daily work of the pharmaceutical company.

The first item of the meeting was the quarterly work summary report, and the heads of each branch made speeches and summed up in turn.

Tong Weiwen took the lead in speaking: "In the last quarter, our trading company purchased a total of 2158 million US dollars in materials, including 721 million US dollars of arms, 575 million US dollars of crude oil, 427 million US dollars of reinforced concrete building materials, 367 million US dollars of automobile machinery, and 68 million US dollars of food. $[-].

Through transportation companies and self-pickup, 2479 million materials of various types were sent out last quarter! ..."

The trading company Tong Weiwen is in charge of is actually a money-spending company at this stage, responsible for purchasing various strategic materials, a small part of which is sent to Qingdao by freighter through formal channels, and most of them are received by Yang Fan through the Taobao system.

Meng Wu'an nodded and said: "Well, very good! Your trading company is the most important department, which is related to the life and death of the Huaxia Huben Army. It can be said that our entire group company revolves around you!

In terms of accounts, you must be clear and careful, and keep two accounts well, and you must not leave any clues to outsiders, otherwise the consequences will be very serious! "

Tong Weiwen nodded solemnly and said: "Chairman, please rest assured, I will never let down the boss and your cultivation, I promise to complete the task, if there is any mistake, I will come to see you!"

"very good!"

Meng Wu'an then looked at Du Mei who was second on the right and nodded.

With the expansion of the Dongxing Commercial Group Company, Du Mei has now grown into a strong woman who is in charge of herself, and is entrusted with the important task of presiding over the daily work of the publishing house.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Du Mei cleared her throat and said loudly with great excitement: "Chairman, last quarter our publishing house sold 420 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and 307 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". , the market sales are extremely hot, and the net profit is as high as more than 530 million US dollars.

In this quarter, in addition to continuing to print these two novels, we will also publish "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Amikaban" at full capacity. It is expected to sell at least 1200 million copies, and the net profit will not be less than 800 million. Ten thousand U.S. dollars! ..."

Chapter 562

"Very good! Keep working hard, the Harry Potter series of novels is the brainchild of our head, we must increase our efforts in publicity and sales."

Meng Wu'an nodded and smiled, and then said to Yu Shenghao: "Your entertainment company is starting to prepare for the filming of Harry Potter, and when the novel is completely popular all over the world, you can take advantage of the popularity and make a lot of money."

The Harry Potter series of novels is a series of magical literature written by the British writer J.K. Rowling, with a total of 7 novels.

The series has been translated into 73 languages ​​and has sold more than 4.5 million copies in all editions, making it the best-selling novel series in the world.

Warner Bros. Studios of the United States converted these 7 episodes of novels into 8 movies, one for each of the first 6 episodes, and the seventh episode is divided into two.The Harry Potter film series is the highest-grossing film series in global history, with a total box office revenue of $78 billion.

Such a big cake, Yang Fan will naturally not let it go, the price in the system mall should not be too cheap, the main thing is to spend a little time to make it!

No, it's only been two or three months since the beginning, and it has made a net profit of 530 million US dollars just by selling books. If it also develops movies, it will really be a huge profit.

At the same time, Yang Fan will release more novels one after another. Anyway, there is no need to buy copyrights from writers who have not yet been born.

"Please rest assured, the chairman, our gang will never hold back."

Yu Shenghao raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Hey! It's so easy to make money here in the United States, it's no different from picking up money! Last quarter, our entertainment company had a total revenue of 770 million US dollars and a net profit of 480 million. Dollar,……"

"Very good, very good! Everyone's summary report is very exciting. This letter of success is not only the curtain of the general manager's planning, but also full of the joint efforts of all of us!

But still the same old saying: We still have a long way to go, and we have to work together in the future to successfully complete the glorious mission and historical mission entrusted to us by the President. "

After everyone finished summarizing their work, Meng Wuan began to talk eloquently: "Everyone knows very well that our abilities, abilities, achievements, wealth, stability and happiness are all inseparable from the careful cultivation and gifts of the chief executive, so no matter what Whenever and wherever we must be alert to ourselves, we will always be a small soldier under the boss.

We are in this peaceful country, but we must always remember that the chief and all the brothers are still fighting bloody battles with the devils, our homeland is still being invaded and trampled by the Japanese invaders, and our compatriots are suffering from the enslavement and bloody massacre of the Japanese devils .

My ugly words are up front, if anyone is fascinated by this colorful world, if anyone neglects their duties and engages in corruption, or even betrays and betrays, then don't blame the brothers for being ruthless, and it will be difficult for you to die quickly . "

After a pause, Meng Wuan continued: "According to the requirements of the head office and the company's development needs, our group company will set up a supervision and audit department, and all branches must unconditionally cooperate with the supervision, management and audit work of the supervision department..."

The most untestable thing in this world is human nature. Dongxing Trading Group Company has become a climate now. The most important thing at present is not to rush to expand its power, but to clean up internal discipline and standardize behavior, so that all core personnel must maintain a high degree of loyalty and integrity. efficiency.

Therefore, today's summary meeting is nominally a routine quarterly summary, but in fact it is the beginning of a rectification movement. Yang Fan sent an extremely capable work monitoring team two months ago, and now it can officially play a role.

After the summary meeting was held and the summary document was formed, Meng Wuan coded the key content and sent it back to Gaomi immediately.

Gaomi Huben Army Headquarters

Yang Fan was handling official business in the office, and Wu Juan knocked on the door with a smile and walked in: "Brother Fan, Meng Wuan sent a telegram back, this time the content of the telegram is really exciting!"

"What's the good news again, it makes you laugh so hard that you can't close your mouth!"

Yang Fan nodded and smiled, took the telegram casually and looked it up, couldn't help but brighten his eyes and said: "You did a good job, hehe, last quarter's total turnover was 3854 million US dollars, excluding various costs and purchased materials, it turned out to be a net profit $452 million?"

Yang Fan immediately stood up happily. It is really different in the United States. Except for the stockings bought from the system mall, other products are produced and sold in the United States. This is not much like the "empty glove white wolf" the difference.

In particular, over the past year, Yang Fan has purchased a large amount of various materials from the United States, especially building materials such as reinforced concrete.

The price of cement, which was originally priced at US$0.5 per ton, has now risen to US$1 per ton, causing cement plants to spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Yang Fan now consumes more than 15 tons of cement every day, which means that the cement he uses every day costs at least 12 US dollars.

And according to the current trend, the cement consumption rate will only rise further in one or two years, and will never fall back.

Such large-scale urban construction and frenzied construction can only be tolerated by a local tycoon, Yang Fan. Anyone else would shudder even thinking about it.

In addition, Yang Fan also bought steel, oil, artillery shells, vehicles and other materials. The military warehouse was expanded and expanded, and the number increased to as many as 12.

To put it bluntly, if the Japanese devils knew that Yang Fan had stored so many strategic materials, they would probably have started to mobilize heavy troops now, and would kill Yang Fan at all costs and rob him of the huge amount of materials he stored.

"Grandma, the US emperor's money is really easy to make! If it is not still at war and the military supplies are the first, I will definitely buy the whole of the United States!"

Mei Zizi broke his fingers, Yang Fan turned to look at Wu Juan and said, "Call Meng Wu'an back and let him do a good job! Tell him, I am very satisfied!"

"Good!"

Wu Juan nodded with a smile, and then said softly: "Brother Fan, the inspection team we sent out has also called. They have already entered the working state, and have not found any violations of regulations or disciplines so far."

Knowing his wife Mo Guohu, Wu Juan's tone was very calm, and she couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations on the surface, but Yang Fan could see her careful thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Why, listening to your tone, I don't think I should be here. Put ears and eyes there?

"

Wu Juan smiled shyly and said, "I do have this kind of thinking. Isn't the old saying saying that you don't have to be suspicious of people? Meng Wu'an is the favorite general you personally selected. I am a little worried that he will misunderstand your intentions, and I am even more worried about the relationship between you. There will be rifts or something."

Yang Fan asked with a smile: "Do you think that I am like a loner in the legend, and I will even become moody and unpredictable in the future?"

Chapter 563 Double Happiness

"Brother Fan, you are really powerful, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

Wu Juan glanced at Yang Fan, then nodded and said, "I don't feel too strongly about it, but other people are in awe of you, even my parents feel a little depressed in front of you!"

Yang Fan has stepped on numerous corpses on the bloody battlefield many times, mastered the life and death power of millions of people, and has mysterious and unpredictable means to reach the sky, which naturally formed a strong aura.

Yang Fan wanted to bring his relatives and friends around to have fun, but they were gradually overwhelmed by Yang Fan's calm prestige and strong aura.

The sisters Wu Juan and Wu Qian and their sons and daughters are better. After all, they are pillow people who often have negative distance contact. They know each other's depth and length, so they don't have much sense of distance.

As for the others, it is already difficult to put aside their scruples and get along happily with Yang Fan as friends and relatives.

"As for employing people, I know Brother Fan, you must have your own principles and ideas."

After a pause, Wu Juan then continued: "It's just that Meng Wu'an, Shi Weifu, Qiu Peng, and Tong Weiwen left their homes and went to the United States thousands of miles away, and they have made so many contributions with dedication. They need and want the most. Your trust and affirmation.

Now we send people to form the Ministry of Supervision, which will definitely make them feel very uncomfortable, and even feel aggrieved by being suspected and monitored. To be honest, I am really worried about this! "

"You are only half right! The most complicated thing in this world is human nature, especially without the constraints of discipline and system, it will only be absolute power that will lead to absolute corruption!"

Yang Fan shook his head, and explained earnestly: "I did this not because I didn't trust them, but for their own good!

I just want to lead them to victory and share the prosperity and prosperity.

When we are completely victorious one day, I will never be stingy with the glory and wealth that should be given to them.

But it doesn't work now, each of us can't rest on the laurels of the past, we must use a sound system and strict discipline to push ourselves forward! "

The layout of the United States is one chain after another. Every core member under Meng Wu'an's command represents a huge industrial chain and interest chain. Any mistakes are absolutely not allowed, and they are not allowed to be out of control.

Corruption, dereliction of duty, rebellion and other phenomena are the evil roots of human beings that will always exist. Yang Fan naturally has to take precautions and use the system to lock power in a cage to slow down this deterioration process to the greatest extent.

"Oh, I see! Brother Fan, you are such a good person!"

After listening to Yang Fan's explanation, Wu Juan frowned immediately, and said in her heart: Fortunately, Brother Fan is still the same Brother Fan, instead of becoming a suspicious, ruthless warlord leader.

On October 10th, "Huangshan Villa" in Chongqing.

Lin Wei grabbed a telegram and ran excitedly to the living room on the second floor. When he saw Generalissimo Jiang who was reading a newspaper, he said loudly, "Report to the committee, good news, great news!"

"Oh, the Ninth War Zone has won another battle?"

Chairman Jiang asked with a smile in a good mood, thinking it was another good news from the Ninth War Zone.

At this time, the first Changsha battle had entered a state of major counter-offensive. The Japanese army retreated across the board. The 195th Division of the Huaxia Army resumed its occupation of Lujiao, Xinqiang, and Yanglin Street. On the 10st, the two sides resumed the pre-war situation.

This battle was the first major offensive by the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield of China after the outbreak of World War II in Europe.

In order to induce surrender and strike against the Nationalist government, Japan concentrated 10 troops to attack Changsha from three directions: northern Jiangxi, southern Hubei, and northern Hunan.

In order to defend Changsha, the acting commander of the Ninth War Zone, Xue Yue, adopted the operational policy of focusing on northern Hunan, "retreating for a decisive battle" and "fighting for the outer wings". He mobilized more than 30 divisions and 3 advancing columns, with a total of more than 24 people participating This battle.

As of October 10, in this battle, the Huaxia Army shattered the Japanese army's strategic goal of encircling and annihilating the main force of the Ninth Theater, consumed a large amount of Japanese personnel and equipment, boosted morale, and further strengthened the confidence that the War of Resistance will win.

Lin Wei quickly shook his head and laughed: "No, Commissioner, this is a telegram from the United States. Commissioner Chen received Dongxing Trading Group's third quarter dividend of US$99!"

"What? The quarterly dividend this time is actually $99?"

Generalissimo Jiang froze for a moment, his eyes lit up and looked extremely excited. It's not that Jiang has never seen money, but he has never seen such a free money.

Lin Wei nodded and said: "Yes, I was also surprised at the beginning. In the first quarter of this year, the US$30 was only US$49 in the second quarter. This quarter has more than doubled. Doesn't that mean the fourth quarter? There can be 200 million dividends in the quarter!

If we add in the $42 from agency sales, the third-quarter earnings will be as high as $141 million. "

"Haha, it's really great news. This year's National Day is really a double blessing! With this money, we can add another standard beauty equipment division!"

Chairman Jiang's mood suddenly exploded, and he stood up excitedly and paced back and forth, and began to keep thinking in his heart.

A standard "beautiful equipment equipment division" has a full staff of about 11000 people, and all staff should be equipped with:

1 M1500 Thomson submachine guns, 540 carbines, 1 M4500 Garand rifles, 72 Browning air-cooled heavy machine guns, 270 Browning light machine guns, about 27 flamethrowers, 60 mortars and 170 There are 81 36-caliber mortars, 37 24mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 105 12mm caliber mountain guns, and 105 12mm caliber howitzers.

Although after the fall of Wuhan, Guangzhou, and Hainan in 1938, all the outlets to the sea in Huaxia were completely blocked by the Japanese army.

But as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Now that the Burma Road has been officially put into use, it is absolutely possible to import arms and equipment from there.

The Yunnan-Burma Highway was officially started in December 1937, employing 12 migrant workers and 20 engineers, second only to the Sino-Soviet Highway, which was aided by the Soviet Union at that time.

The Yunnan-Burma Highway was originally built urgently to rush to transport the strategic materials purchased abroad and aided by the Chinese Kuomintang government abroad.

Later, as the Japanese army occupied Vietnam, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was interrupted, and soon after the completion of the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, it became the only transportation channel between China and the outside world.

This is an international channel born in the war of resistance against Japan.This is an international passage built with flesh and blood by people of all ethnic groups in western Yunnan. The Burma Road played an important role in World War II.

After a while, Chairman Jiang suddenly thought of a very serious problem, and shouted: "Oh! We can get 3 US dollars for 99% of our dry stocks. Doesn't that mean that Yang Fan's net profit in the third quarter is at least $3300 million?"

Chapter 564 It seems that I was wrong by a hundred million

"Well, it seems to be such an algorithm! Oh boy, their net profit has reached at least 3300 million? And it's still in US dollars?"

When Generalissimo Jiang mentioned this, Lin Wei was stunned immediately. Hearing that his family had picked up $93 for nothing at first, he already thought it was awesome, but at this moment, the comparison made him feel extremely sour.

The total turnover of Dongxing Trading Group last quarter was 3854 million US dollars, among which silk stockings, movies, and novels are all profit-making industries with empty hands and white wolves.

In addition, instant noodles, sanitary napkins, Coca-Cola, McDonald's fast food chain stores, penicillin, etc. have very high profit margins, so it is not surprising that the net profit is as high as more than 3300 million US dollars.

It's just that most of the money has been turned into various materials, which have continuously flowed into the Huaxia Huben Army defense area, and there are also millions of dollars in stocks.
