The end of the military era

Do you need Uncle Shen to help you pull the red line? "

Hearing Shen Zhi mentioning Sun Xiushu, Zhou Rui suddenly hesitated.

According to the current strength of the Zhou family, and with Shen Zhi as the matchmaker, Sun Quan would probably agree to marry the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Rui no longer has the same obsession with Sun Xiushu as before, not to mention that once he marries Sun Quan, the lord of the city, Sun Xiushu will definitely become his wife.

Thinking that Sun Xiushu would become his regular wife, Zhou Rui didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and Liu Yiqiu's beautiful face that was both angry and happy flashed across his mind.

"Hehe, Uncle Shen, I've been too busy recently, and I'm not ready to get married yet, not to mention the important matter of marriage, I have to discuss it with my parents."

In a study room in the Cui Mansion, Cui Hong handed Cui Wentao a piece of paper, "Shen Zhi has already applied to the Jiedu Mansion for the number of the No.20 Second Independent Brigade for the Zhou family.

The Coastal Defense Fleet was also upgraded to a division-level organization by the Jiedu Mansion. "

Cui Wentao took the paper and scanned it quickly, then said in a deep voice: "Father, if this continues, the Zhou family's power in Ganyang City will become stronger and stronger, and our Cui family will have no place to stand!"

"It's not that serious at the moment, you can look at this again."

As Cui Hong spoke, he handed Cui Wentao another piece of paper.

Cui Wentao took it over and took a look, and immediately showed a look of surprise, "Father, why did the Jiedu Mansion suddenly give us the number of the No. 20 Three Independent Brigade of the Cui family?"

Cui Hong smiled slightly, "Shen Xiao is not the only son of Shen Zhi, Shen Zhizhi is recruiting the Zhou family, and of course Shen Xiao's other sons will not be idle.

No.20 The number of the Three Independent Brigade was won by Shen Xiao's eldest son, Shen Du, for our Cui family. "

Cui Wentao asked hesitantly: "Father, didn't you say that our Cui family would not be involved in the vortex for the next Jiedushi?"

Cui Hong sighed and said: "At this time and at that time, Shen Zhi was wooing our Cui family before, but was rejected by his father, now Shen Zhi obviously shifted his target to the Zhou family.

If Shen Zhi becomes the next Fengwu Jiedu envoy with the help of the Zhou family, it will be a disaster for our Cui family. Maybe by that time, our Cui family will really have no place in Ganyang City up.

Therefore, the father did not refuse Shen Du's solicitation this time. As Shen Xiao's eldest son, Shen Du inherently has an advantage over Shen Zhi. "

In Cui Wentao's heart, he was very much in favor of Cui Hong's decision.

There was no possibility of reconciliation between the Cui family and the Zhou family. The Zhou family had to support Shen Zhi. If the Cui family did nothing, then after Shen Zhi came to power, they would definitely help the Zhou family to deal with the Cui family.

"What my father said is very true, so when will the No.20 Three Independent Brigade be formed?"

"I'm going to transfer some officers and soldiers from the Ninth Division and your Third Independent Brigade. First, I will set up the No.20 Third Independent Brigade. The next recruits will also temporarily fill the No.20 Third Independent Brigade."

"Father, how about the Ninth Division and your Third Independent Brigade forming several reinforcement regiments?"

"Wait a while, let's talk about the establishment of the No.20 Three Independent Brigade.

By the way, for the time being, you will be the brigade commander of the No.20 Three Independent Brigade! "

When Cui Wentao heard this, he said excitedly: "Father, don't worry, I will do my best to let our Cui family add another main brigade!"

Cui Hong nodded, "I will raise funds to purchase weapons and equipment for the No.20 Three Independent Brigade.

What are your thoughts on the specific establishment of the No.20 Three Independent Brigade? "

"Father, can you refer to my third independent brigade and have five infantry regiments, a heavy cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, a baggage regiment and a brigade guard battalion?"

Cui Hong shook his head, "Wen Tao, the family's funds are a bit tight recently. According to the establishment of the third independent brigade, the No. 20 third independent brigade will be built, and the financial pressure on the family's side will be very high.

So I think that the No.20 Three Independent Brigade can first build three infantry regiments, a supply regiment and a brigade-owned guard battalion. "

"Yes, father."

On the morning of July 7th, in a private room of the Nine Star Hotel, Zhou Rui met Xia Wenwen, the former chief executive of Zixing Films.

Xia Wenwen is 40 years old this year, with a thin body, wearing a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, showing a refined manner.

"Mr. Xia, Yingying and Xiaoyan must have told you about the matter before. I wonder if you still want to return to Zixing Films?"

Zhou Rui asked Xia Wenwen with a smile.

"Major General, I, Xia Wenwen, will be your soldier from now on. I will definitely help the Major General to open the theaters of Zixing Films to all cities in the entire Han and Tang Empire!"

Xia Wenwen, who lives in Ganyang City, knows how thick Zhou Rui's thigh is now.

If you don't hug your thighs at this time, when will you hug your thighs!

Zhou Rui nodded slightly. Zhou Rui was not surprised that Xia Wenwen agreed to return to Zixing Pictures so readily.

Zhou Rui offered Xia Wenwen a very favorable condition. As long as Xia Wenwen is willing to rejoin Zixing Films, in addition to a generous annual salary, Xia Wenwen will also get [-]% of the dry shares of Zixing Films.

"Mr. Xia."

"Major General, you should still call me Wenwen from now on!"

"Alright, it seems too unfamiliar to call you Mr. Xia all the time.

Article, let me introduce someone to you. This is Hu Yi. From now on, you will be the general manager of Zixing Films, and he will be the deputy general manager.

I hope that the two of you can cooperate sincerely to build Zixing Films into the largest film company in our Han and Tang Empire. "

Chapter 54 The Rebels

Although Zhou Rui didn't get along with Hu Yi and Hu Er for a long time, Zhou Rui could feel that Hu Yi and Hu Er were gentlemen and loyal people.

So Zhou Rui put the establishment of an intelligence organization on the agenda, and planned to form the ghost of the previous life that made people turn heads.

Zixing Films now has 160 movie theaters in six towns in the southwest. After Zhou Rui’s large sum of money is invested in Zixing Films, it is entirely possible to build Zixing Films’ movie theaters in all the cities of the Han and Tang Empires. , so that the theater chain of Zixing Films became the largest theater chain in the Han and Tang Empire.

Ghost Shadow, on the other hand, can rely on the theater chain of Zixing Films to lay an intelligence network covering 24 feudal towns in the Han and Tang Empires.

So Zhou Rui directly asked Hu Yi to be the deputy general manager of Zixing Pictures, and the eight people including Hu Er and Hu San would also follow Hu Yi to enter Zixing Pictures.

In addition, Zhou Rui has authorized Hu [-] and Hu [-] to select a group of officers and soldiers from the garrison brigade to join Ghost Shadow, but more intelligence personnel can only be trained by Hu [-] and Hu [-] themselves.

Zhou Rui's greatest support for Guiying is that he can provide unlimited funds.

After Xia Zhang and Hu Yi exchanged a few polite greetings, Xia Zhang began to describe his philosophy of managing Zixing Films to Zhou Rui in detail.

Zhou Rui didn't understand some of the business concepts Xia Zhang mentioned, but Zhou Rui knew that this Xia Zhang was indeed a talent.

According to Xia Zhang's expansion model for Zixing Films, Zhou Rui only needs to invest another 500 million silver coins in Zixing Films in the early stage.

Previously, in order to build a theater chain, Zixing Films owed more than 4000 million silver coin loans, which were signed with banks in various places to repay in installments. Only the movie ticket income of 160 movie theaters could almost smooth out the repayment of each installment.

The 500 million silver coins are only used as working capital for Purple Star Films.

In the end, Zhou Rui patted Xia Zhang on the shoulder, "It's a good way to get a loan to build a movie theater, so let's do it according to your ideas!
