Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Frankly speaking, if Zeng Wangcai had not already proved his ability, the two old men would have definitely called Guoan at this moment.

Who the hell could say something like reselling airplanes, tanks, and cannons?

Two years earlier, you would have been sent to dig coal for reselling eggs.

But Zeng Wangcai is serious.

Although it is not yet time for the Russians to sell off their property, but... corruption will always exist. We can always find a few Russian parasites and give it a try.

Zeng Wangcai can only think of this level at the moment. As for the huge target of 15 trillion yuan, it is still only based on the target. He will have to go and see the specific situation first.

"Are you fucking crazy?" Liu Yong was mad. "Who would sell you weapons like airplanes and cannons?"

"Let's give it a try!" Zeng Wangcai laughed, "Maybe it will work. I think you two haven't forgotten what the Russians did back then?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just a matter of closing the stall halfway."

"Nonsense, who could forget this?"

Liu Yong and Yang Mingyuan looked angry.

When the two families were close, they were really close and called each other "Big Brother" all the time.

But ordinary people may not understand this, only high-level officials know that there is no free lunch in the world, so you have to pay a price for anything others give you, and that price is not small.

It is normal to ask for more when you give more, but who can stand the fact that someone also wants to interfere in your household affairs and be your master?

"Grandpa, I have only one problem with this business," Zeng Wangcai said at last. "If I really buy those things, someone will cover the cost. It's useless for me to buy them."

"You want us to cover you?"

"You're crazy. We're just two retired old men."

The two old men obviously did not understand what Zeng Wangcai meant. Mainly because they were still thinking about Zeng Wangcai's weird idea. Airplanes, cannons and tanks have always been the equipment and weapons of other people's armies. How could they possibly sell them to you?

This is also Zeng Wangcai's fault. He didn't make it clear and omitted the word "old".

But who can guarantee that what you buy back will be the old one?

Maybe Zeng Wangcai himself has a crazy idea in his mind...aircraft carrier!

This thing is Zeng Wangcai's pain point, and it is also the pain point of all soldiers now. Even though it has developed rapidly in recent years and there are two powerful weapons brought back by Zeng Wangcai, aircraft carriers are still an unimaginable existence.

Technology is one aspect, but economy is the most fundamental.

Zeng Wangcai's space dock has already placed an order for the best aircraft carrier in the country. Every once in a while, Zeng Wangcai has to go to Yangcheng Port to swallow the purchased raw materials into the space.

But despite this, the progress of building aircraft carriers in space is very slow, and the materials cannot keep up. Some materials, which are strategic materials, cannot be bought by Zeng Wangcai at all.

He estimated that if he wanted to build an aircraft carrier in the future, he would have to go to the Russians' territory and find a way to get the scarce materials needed to build the aircraft carrier.

But there is another way, buy it, buy it directly!

This is the path that later generations have taken.

Zeng Wangcai was only preliminarily considering these two paths, and he needed to inform the two old men about it.

"What are you thinking?" Zeng Wangcai laughed, "Even if you two are demolished, you two can't cover the bottom, I mean the upper part."

"Are you serious?" Liu Yong became serious.

"Of course, this is no joke." Zeng Wangcai then became serious. "In addition to airplanes and cannons, we can also buy technical equipment if needed. I can make less money, but I can't pay for it indefinitely. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't afford it.

"So, you two need to talk to the higher-ups. First, I can digest the scrap steel and other raw materials myself. If I can't digest it, the higher-ups need to cover it for me. Of course, this is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the country."

"It seems like you already have a detailed plan."

"It's not really a plan!" Zeng Wangcai said honestly, "I just have an idea. If that day really comes, the higher-ups will have to prepare some money. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a battle for national destiny.

"If we don't take it, the Americans will take it away."

The battle for national destiny is very serious.

But from the perspective of future generations, wasn't it a battle of national destiny? The Russians lost, lost everything, and it took them many years to recover.

On the contrary, if we can win back this national destiny, we can save decades of hard work, and the people won’t have to suffer so much. At least they will have to be leeks for fewer years.

"Let us talk and you do the work. How do you plan to do it?" Liu Yong asked.

"Send a group to explore the way!" Zeng Wangcai said about Xu Huizhen, "I will also send people from the private sector to open up channels and get to know the people. If I can really buy good stuff, I will go over and take a look."

"Stop!" Liu Yong shouted, "Anyone can go, but you can't! Are you kidding? I'm afraid you don't know how many people are watching you."

"It's okay!" Zeng Wangcai laughed easily, "It's been so many years, most people have forgotten what I look like. Besides, who would be willing to kill me? They all want to catch me, and as long as they catch me and don't kill me, I'll be safe."

He was telling the truth, but Liu Yong and the other two didn't believe it.

The higher-ups took great pains to ensure Zeng Wangcai's safety.

Take the courtyard house where Zeng Wangcai lived for example. Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu and other families inside the house all moved out, and they were given a place to live in Courtyard No. 95 near Courtyard No. 86.

In the entire courtyard, apart from Zeng Wangcai's family, there are only people sent by the higher-ups to provide secret protection.

But just as Zeng Wangcai said, no one was willing to kill him, and Zeng Wangcai has not encountered any danger in the past few years.

"We can't take it lightly." Liu Yong disagreed.

"No, there are some things that no one else can do except me!" Zeng Wangcai said, "The things I want to buy are not something that ordinary people can buy, and when it comes to dealing with people, I really have to keep an eye on it myself."

"What on earth do you need to personally look after? What exactly do you want to buy, an aircraft carrier..."

"How did you know?"

"..."

Liu Yong is just joking, but Zeng Wangcai is serious.

When Liu Yong and Yang Mingyuan learned that Zeng Wangcai really had this ambition, they were shocked. They thought, could the Russians be so stupid?

......

Dongzhimen, Xu Huizhen’s family’s tavern.

This tavern is still as quaint as before. There are not many tables inside, but there are many customers.

"Boss Xu, what brings you here today?" A square-faced old man at a table in the center of the tavern joked when he saw Xu Huizhen come in.

"Hello, Mr. Niu!" Xu Huizhen said in a good mood, "Let's talk about business. Well, your wine today is mine, I'm treating you... Quanwu, you stay here, I'll go to the back to prepare."

This tavern is a shop in front and a house in the back, with the back being the residence.

Originally Xu Huizhen lived here. Later, when Xu Huizhen became rich, she found an old man who had gone to Northeast China and bought his yard. Later, Xu Huizhen used it to store antiques and other things.

After a while, Zeng Wangcai brought Xu Damao and Xiaobao over.

Zeng Wangcai wanted to discuss the details with Xu Huizhen. He was worried about Chen Xueru and her husband, so he made a private appointment with Xu Huizhen.
