Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

In the evening, Zhaoshi took the initiative to tell Jingxian about meeting Lan Xin, and Jingxian inevitably asked him how he felt.Zhaoshi had no choice but to say truthfully: "This is really out of the question. We are not on a blind date. After all, we are classmates. We have known each other quite well in the past. It's just that we haven't seen each other for many years. When we meet, we can chat about the old days naturally. There is nothing else." Jing Jing Xian only said: "My sister-in-law will not force you on these things, nor will she force you to marry any girl. It's just that you are not young and it's time to start a family, so just keep this in mind."

The appointment between Zhao Shi and Lan Xin ended without any problems like this, and he followed Jing Xian's instructions and went to meet several girls.It was because she was unemployed at home to help Jing Xian with some business chores, and felt that her own business was actually struggling.

Jing Xian often frowned and sighed: "Nowadays the Northern Expedition is victorious and there are fewer and fewer warlords. You can't just look forward to war every day just to make money." Jingxian said this without any intention, but Zhaoshi next to him listened to it, and he thought for a few days before he opened his mouth and said: "Sister-in-law, when you donated quilts to our military academy in the past, Isn’t there a director named Liu in the Military Supplies Department? He is no longer in the military academy, and he is in charge of military supplies on the Hunan-Hubei border. I had some contact with him when I was in school, and I went back to ask him for help, and also accepted some uniforms for the First Army. There is a brother-in-law in the Eighth Army, so naturally there is no need to worry. I thought, your way of transporting raw materials and processing them locally is good. Why don’t you open two factories in Nanchang, whether it’s weaving or processing? If he is there, he can help you supervise, and your sister and brother-in-law are always there, so you don’t have to worry about it.” Jingxian didn’t doubt that he was there, she just asked: “You never cared about these things, now the sun is shining from the west Came out?" Zhaoshi said with a smile: "Although I didn't meet anyone this time when I came back, as you said, at least I have reached the age of starting a family. It is really suitable to turn around. Once you have a family, you have to know how to take care of it. Why don't you help your sister-in-law first, and also understand these things in the business field. Besides, fighting a war is not a long-term solution, and I will always help you take care of the family business in the future, so why don't you start learning now." After hearing what he said, Jing Xian Putting my palms together, I recited a sentence of Buddha: "Amitabha, I am finally a sensible child. I have let go of my hanging heart. I have been talking with Sun Xiangli for the past few days and asked him to make a charter. If you If you can stay for a while longer, you can go to the factory and shop to learn some basic things. This year, Shanghai established the Mechanism Domestic Products Association, and there are several companies in Nanchang who want to join. You can help the association I'll take care of things over there."

"Yes, sister-in-law." Zhaoshi complied with Jingxian's order, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This big event finally had some clues.Moreover, the federation has a wide range of contacts, and it is easier to cover than its own factory.

After that, Zhaoshi often ran around in the family's spinning mills, weaving factories, garment factories and various silk shops and clothing stores, and often accompanied his sister-in-law to meetings in the federation.He is a person with a clear mind, and he quickly grasped some basic conditions of raw materials, production, and sales.Sun Xiangli often raised his thumbs up and praised him for his legacy of his father, but Zhaoshi laughed: "Sun Xiangli, you don't know that one of the things I'm good at in the army is to conduct investigations. It's fine to spend a day and a night in the wilderness. He said that he was sitting in the cafe drinking coffee and counting the number of customers in the silk shop." Jingxian now returned to the serious look she used to teach him to read, "I won't know the heavens and the earth if you praise you a few words. Why hasn’t the account of the silk shop been settled yet?” Zhaoshi stuck out his tongue, “Didn’t you go to school yesterday to hold a parent-teacher meeting for Lianzhou, don’t you have time, I’ll definitely go tomorrow.”

Jingxian was a little unhappy: "Don't talk to me about Lianzhou, you have really grown up, and you are not afraid of me as a sister-in-law anymore. You can't finish explaining things, but you still dare to talk about it. Wait until next time When I asked, you are still prevaricating like this, but be careful!" Zhaoshi hurriedly stood aside and said, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law, you won't dare next time. I'll send someone the account book, and we'll talk it out overnight. "Jingxian waved her hand: "Okay, it's good that you know. Go to bed early tonight, make sure to make arrangements tomorrow morning, and accompany me to Zhu's house in the afternoon." Zhaoshi was startled, but Jingxian said: "Don't be nervous It's not about you and Lan Xin. The family's business is not very good now, and it's not easy to invest too much money to build a new factory, so I want to borrow some money from Shanghai Savings Bank to build a factory in Nanchang. , you are under some pressure to manage it. The loan must be repaid with the surplus of your factory. Moreover, the Zhujia Bank is now on the thigh of your Principal Jiang. With their funds, you have to use the military supplies of the national army It will be easier to be subdued."

"With our Principal Jiang?" Zhaoshi became confused.Jingxian said: "That's right, Zhu's family is very close to the finance minister of the new government. They have been used as money bags for your national army. The new government will naturally appreciate this kindness and have a bright future in the future." Zhao Shi thought , military and politics, politics and economy are really inextricably linked and cannot be avoided.Pure soldiers and pure businessmen do not exist.

Zhaoshi was still strategizing in Shanghai, but Li Guofeng couldn't wait any longer, and even made a phone call to Shen's mansion.When Zhaoshi received the call, his eyes almost popped out: "You are too courageous, you dare to call my house." Guofeng smiled over there: "What are you afraid of? Those three words are written. I now open a rice shop in Nanchang City, and everyone is a businessman. Isn’t it normal to have some business dealings?” Zhaoshi held his breath in his chest and coughed twice: “It’s all business. People? Can your petty business compare with my family’s business? Is the rice in your rice store made of gold or silver, and our family has to go all the way to Jiangxi to buy it?” Then, he said on the phone. Tapping the long and short Morse codes with his fingers, "I'm still in the military, and our family is also the leader of the chamber of commerce. Beware of someone monitoring." Li Guofeng had no choice but to exchange pleasantries on the phone.Zhaoshi chatted with him while thinking of ideas, and then asked Li Guofeng to type his phone number in the same way, and the two made an appointment to contact elsewhere.

After thinking about it, Zhaoshi found that in Shanghai, the suitable contact point he could find was the women's workers' school that Lan Xin was managing now.After all, it is an educational institution, not a commercial institution. The Zhu family is now in full swing, and no one dares to take their ideas.So I greeted my family and went to the Women's Workers' School.Hearing that Zhao Shi went to find Lan Xin, Jing Xian was naturally happy, and said that if he invited Lan Xin to western food and a movie at night, she would not have to rush back for dinner.

When it came to Lan Xin, it was another set of excuses.It is said that his colleagues in the army asked him to help him buy more foreign cigarettes and alcohol in Shanghai and transport them back to resell, so as to make some extra money.He was afraid that his sister-in-law would scold him for not doing his job properly, so he had to hide and contact his friends.Lan Xin smiled: "I didn't expect that you are still so afraid of your sister-in-law." After speaking, she left the office for him to call, and went out to class by herself.

Li Guofeng complained to Zhaoshi on the phone, saying that the guerrillas had already reached the point where they had no food and clothing, and supplies were scarce, and he asked him to return to Nanchang as soon as possible to help find a solution.Zhaoshi was also anxious in his heart: "Even if I fly back to Nanchang now, there may not be a solution. My family is in the textile business. It's no problem to get some cotton cloth to make clothes for you. I can't solve the problem of not having enough food. Li Guofeng said: "Cotton cloth can be sold for money. I opened a grain store here for the convenience of transshipment of grain." I can find a way to get my family to bring a batch of cotton cloth first, and I will escort the car and go back to Nanchang with the goods. You let the guerrillas find a way to rob this train. I will cooperate with you on the car. But let me tell you, this It’s the first time and the last time. It’s too risky to do this. If my sister-in-law thinks this transportation line is too unsafe, she will remove the factory here, and the loss outweighs the gain.” Guofeng pecked at the other end of the phone Mi Mi nodded: "Yes, yes, just this time, let's solve the urgent need first." Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Zhao Shi say: "No matter how anxious you are, the cotton cloth has to go to the dyeing workshop, and it will be resold after dyeing, otherwise it will be ruined." It will be troublesome for people to find out the source.”

When he got home, he could only tell his sister-in-law that he had already contacted Chief Liu, and that autumn was coming, and the troops were going to distribute autumn and winter clothes and urgently purchase a batch of cotton cloth.Because of the urgency of time, he needs to escort the goods back immediately, and complete the contract and payment procedures after arriving in Nanchang.Zhaoshi didn't dare to look at Jingxian, he stared at the sycamore swaying in the wind outside the window in a panic, his palms were full of sweat.Although Jingxian felt that Zhaoshi was very nervous, she never thought that he would dare to tell such a big lie, instead she asked him: "It's not a big deal, what's wrong with you?" Zhaoshi took a deep breath secretly, Putting a smile on his face, "First, I'm worried that my sister-in-law will say that my business is unprincipled and will ship the goods without evidence; second, second, I'm a little anxious to go out." Jingxian would rather With a smile in his heart: "This is not a delivery without a certificate. Anyway, you are with the goods. When you arrive in Nanchang, you just need to clear the money and goods. Don't worry, I will let you out." After finishing speaking, he turned and went to the dressing table to pick up the goods. He picked up a small box and said, "This is a lipstick someone brought from France. I think the color is too delicate, so I might as well give it to Lan Xin." Zhaoshi was in a hurry to go out, but he was in a hurry to make a phone call. Seeing that his sister-in-law misunderstood, he also Unable to explain, I had no choice but to take the lipstick and hurried out the door.
