Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 8 Operation code: Steal the tubes, buy the powder!

When Lao Fang took Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to the back mountain and saw the earth pit, Li Yunlong instantly became as happy as a child weighing over 100 pounds.

Zhao Gang looked at Yu Ye with eyes full of admiration.

"Captain, with this, I have paid off the troops and equipment I borrowed from you, right?" Yu Ye moved a small stool and sat next to the big pit, looking at Li Yunlong calmly and said.

"Oh, let's count it, we must count it. No, there's no distinction between you and me between the two of us, no matter whether we lend or not, we are all for the sake of fighting the Japanese." Li Yunlong looked at the big hole created by the explosion and rubbed his hands with excitement.

Zhao Gang seemed much calmer: "Captain, Yu Ye, we now have very effective firepower. For long-term development in the future, do we need to strengthen the collection and storage of these two supplies?"

"Political Commissar, you are right. The lyrics of the opera say, Build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne. We should be like the landlord, and store up more of these good things.

Anyway, with Old Yu here, these will be our weapons to deal with the devils in the future." Li Yunlong was extremely happy.

Yu Ye felt a little helpless. He had to understand that he had gone from being Yu Xiucai to being Mr. Yu and now he was Old Yu.

It's only been two or three days and my name has changed so quickly.

Zhao Gang was quite capable as a political commissar. He was not dazzled by the two pieces of equipment he currently had. He keenly realized that he should prepare these supplies as soon as possible before the Japanese could react.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang reached an agreement. After returning to the team, they immediately issued orders to various guerrilla teams through various channels, asking them to collect the cast iron pipes used by the Japanese to make sewers in various ways, both thick and thin.

In addition, you can get fertilizer powder from the landlords and take as much as you want.

The code name of this operation: Steal tubes, buy powder!

......

Baijiazhuang.

The chairman of the maintenance association of Baijiazhuang is a two-faced person, and he is a two-faced person who leans towards the Japanese. He usually does a lot of things that harm people.

Spring is about to arrive, and in order to sell the fertilizer powder and allow farmers to grow more food, the Japanese gave a lot of allocation targets to the presidents of these maintenance associations.

The father and son of the Bai family looked at the mountain of fertilizer powder in the warehouse with worried looks on their faces.

"Dad, why don't you talk to Huang Jun and ask us to share less? If those poor guys don't buy, we will have to buy them all ourselves, and our family will lose a lot of money."

"Buy shit! This is the third year now. The Huang army sells this damn fertilizer powder at a high price every year, and then takes away all the food in the autumn harvest. Isn't this robbery?

It’s not considered robbery. They could have robbed you, but they still insisted on forcing you to give them some Feitian powder.

It's like this every year, will the poor devils still be fooled? "President Bai also had a worried look on his face. He knew the morals of these devils better than his son. If he couldn't complete it, his whole family would probably have to pay with their lives.

Moreover, President Bai knew better that the Japanese wanted both money and food.

"Dad, I was drinking with Captain Jia's son yesterday, and I heard that the Feitian powder in Zhangzhuang next door is selling very well. I don't know how it is sold. Do you want you to ask Captain Jia about it?"

Hearing his son's words, Father Bai was like a drowning man who had grasped the last straw: "Let's go find Captain Jia. He must have a solution. Zhang Village is even poorer than our Bai Village. If they don't have a good solution, they definitely won't be able to sell so many."

When Chairman Bai and his son found Captain Jia, they were stunned to see the empty warehouse of Jia's family.

"Captain Jia, how did you sell so much Feitian powder?" President Bai looked at his colleague with admiration.

"I'm telling you this because you're my old brother. Recently, for some reason, the most powerful families in our village have been asking me to buy fertilizer powder like crazy. They want as much as I can.

A few of those farmers bought a large amount and said they wanted to negotiate an 80% discount with me, so I gave it to them." Captain Jia said proudly.

"Captain Jia, if you sell these to someone, aren't you afraid that they will default on your payment? Or won't give it to you later?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I actually received real silver dollars and gold bars in these batches of goods. Besides, how could these farmers afford it? It's obvious that it was bought by the Eighth Route Army behind them.

With the previous batches of goods as a foundation, I sold them on credit. Anyway, I wasn’t losing money at the current price.

In the past two days, several presidents and village chiefs have come to me and asked me to help them sell their houses, and I agreed.

However, we have to agree in advance that these goods must be sold on credit and will be returned to you after the autumn harvest, and the interest rate cannot be high.

In addition, you have to give me 10% of the money."

Captain Jia patted the gift sent by President Bai and said lightly.

"Captain Jia, that's fine. But if we owe them so much money at once, and the farmers refuse to pay, what can we do with them?" Chairman Bai heard something wrong.

"I say, Lao Bai, you are a good person in every way, except that you worry too much. Do you think that if you can escape from the monk, you can also escape from the temple? Where else can these farmers run to?

Besides, Huang Jun wants you to sell these fertilizer powders quickly. If you can't sell them, you will probably be shot first."

Captain Jia snorted coldly, glanced at President Bai who had a worried look on his face, and gave a friendly reminder.

I thought to myself: Anyway, I have recovered my money. As for whether I can recover your money or not, it is none of my business. I cannot lose a single cent of my share.

Although he was still worried about whether he could get his money back, under the threat of the Japanese guns, President Bai chose to sell the fertilizer powder to the farmers on credit first.

"Old Jia, this was obviously bought by the Eighth Route Army. Why do you think they bought so much Feitian powder?" President Bai was still a little worried.

"Why do you worry so much? Isn't this fertilizer powder the original manure of our people? I don't know why the Eighth Route Army is doing this, but they won't use manure to make bombs, right?" Captain Jia said nonchalantly.

"Old White, you need to get through this hurdle first."

"Okay. Lao Jia, what do you think would happen if Huang Jun knew that we sold out to the Eighth Route Army?" Captain Bai made a beheading gesture.

"Anyway, I've said this. You can sell it or not. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. If you can't sell it now, you'll be shot to death immediately, or if you're found out in the future, you'll be shot to death. You choose which one."

"Okay, let's sell it. I'll sell it on credit." President Bai gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and did it.

Such scenes were being played out in several surrounding counties. Even the heads of the Japanese companies were saying that the fertilizer powder was selling exceptionally well this year, far exceeding the target.

Many places are even rushing to get supplies for next year's spring farming, as supply is simply insufficient to meet demand.

......

Independent regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong: "What do you mean by credit? I, Old Li, have never accepted this account. What we gave to these landlords was a deposit. Without a deposit, would they be willing to do things for us? We need to use our brains!

As for the deposits, didn’t I, Lao Li, say that I wouldn’t take them back?

A few rich landlords came to me to ask for money. I was so poor that I was peeing blood, but they still dared to take my money. It's really outrageous.

After a while, whoever took our money can be asked to take it back, and it will be considered as supporting the anti-Japanese war.

If they dare to object, I'll use Old Yu's explosives to kill them!"

Yu Ye was drinking water nearby and almost spit out a mouthful of water.

It's hard to make money when doing business with others, but it's hard to lose your life when doing business with Li Yunlong.
