Respectfully

Li Jinyan understands the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a deal.If things go too far, they are likely to cause trouble for themselves.

So, after the Japanese envoy delivered a harshly worded letter of protest to the Russian envoy, the Russians who had troubled Japanese firms and factories all day suddenly disappeared from the streets of Guanbei City.

The Russians are not fools, they know very well that they have taken the blame for others.However, they can't speak clearly on this matter.Otherwise, how can we explain that when the Japanese came to the door, the troublesome Russians disappeared?

If you think about it carefully, you can easily find that this incident is almost full of loopholes from beginning to end, like a prank on a whim.But it is this kind of flaw that is too easy to detect, which makes the Japanese even more suspicious.

No matter how the Russians explain it, it will only get darker and darker.The Japanese believed that the Russians were playing tricks, and proposed that Russia must compensate the losses of the Japanese nationals!

Russian Minister Kusovitz was so angry that he dropped his wine glass and tore up the diplomatic letter sent by Minister Ijuin.Polar bears have always had a bad temper. Do these yellow-skinned monkeys really think they can show off their power in front of the great Russian Empire?

Kusowitz immediately sent a telegram to the country, expounding the conspiracy of the Chinese and the arrogance of the Japanese.Before his telegram was sent back to St. Petersburg, a telegram from Acting Foreign Minister Shachanov was delivered to him.

"The Chinese took military action on the east bank of the Erguna River!"

Cold sweat broke out on Kusowitz's forehead, and he no longer cared about the Japanese clamoring for compensation for the loss of the expatriates.The Chinese were attacking at the border, but he didn't even know it beforehand!This is simply a fatal mistake!If he can't give the Winter Palace an explanation, his political career is likely to be over soon.

When the aggressive Russian envoy came to the door, it was also Zhan Changqing who received him.The finance chief seemed to be addicted to playing cross-border, so he volunteered to negotiate with the polar bear.

"Your Excellency, this is just a drill." Zhan Changqing had a scholarly face, and he smiled very elegantly and kindly.

"Military exercise?" Kusowitz slapped the table angrily, "Your army has crossed the Ergun River!"

"That must be a misunderstanding." Zhan Changqing insisted that it was a misunderstanding, emphasizing that Chinese soldiers are very "rule-abiding", they will only operate within the borders of their own country, and will never act against Shangfeng's orders without authorization.

"If they appear on the other side of the Ergun River, it only means that they think that the land there belongs to China. You also know that the Manzhouli Treaty did not clearly stipulate the land and water boundary survey between China and Russia, and it is very easy to misjudge for a while possible."

Kuosowitz gritted his teeth angrily, but Zhan Changqing smiled like a spring breeze.

"Your Excellency, I think you'd better send another telegram to confirm. There must be a misunderstanding." The telegram came back and forth, enough for Huaxia's soldiers to gain a firm foothold there.

Zhan Changqing's attitude was very good and sincere, but Kusovitz had an illusion, as if a cunning fox was sitting opposite him, and was planning how to snatch the bread from his own plate.

The Russian minister who came to find a place was so angry that his head was smoking, and he returned without success. The soldier standing at the door once again heard Minister Zhan's tone-deaf general drinking.

As for the culprit of this "conspiracy", Li Jinyan is standing on the construction site in a good mood, directing and arranging the rebuilding of the soap factory.

Most of the workers on the construction site are idle laborers from nearby villages, and there are still some days before spring plowing. Most people take advantage of this time to find some work on the construction site and improve their lives at home.There are also some refugees who have been displaced near Guanbei City due to famine or other reasons. These people have no clothes and no food to eat. As long as they are given some food, they can do whatever they want.

Li Jinyan is not hard-hearted. He also paid wages to the refugees who worked, but more than once he saw the workers who received the wages not go far before being surrounded and robbed by other refugees.

Since then, he stopped paying these people wages, but allowed them to bring their families to the construction site for dinner.But it’s not like eating casually with your belly open, no matter how many people you eat, there are only six steamed buns, one meat and one vegetarian dish.They also took a batch of cotton-padded clothes in stock from the quilt factory, converted them into wages and sent them to them.

"As long as you work hard, I will feed you well." Li Jinyan said, "When the soap factory is completed, I will also recruit workers. Everyone has hands and feet, and as long as they work hard, they can always support themselves and their families."

These words were not only addressed to the people on the construction site, but mainly aimed at the idlers who gathered around the construction site, who were unwilling to work and only wanted to get cheap.

When the weather gets warmer and spring plowing starts, Li Jinyan needs a lot of manpower.He also bought more than 3000 acres of land, and those Russian soldiers who were unwilling to leave could work on the farms. The soap factory needed a lot of oil as raw materials, and raising pigs was a good project.Soldiers who are discharged from the military due to injuries can also choose to farm or work.

The incident at the soap factory taught Li Jinyan a lesson, and he must take precautions before they happen.It's fine if these people are honest, but if...he won't be merciful.

"Master Yan, according to your instructions, the warehouse and production workshop are separated, the staff dormitory and kitchen are built separately, and the fence is also raised by half a meter." Manager Lu meticulously followed Li Jinyan's previous instructions, in order to build the soap factory even more. "As good as it gets".He even offered to put a barbed wire fence around the wall!

Li Jinyan was stunned when he heard that Lu Huaide was planning to build a watchtower on the corner of the fence, Li Jinyan immediately shouted to stop, what he wanted to build was a factory, not a Zhazidong concentration camp!

Li Sanshao's attitude was firm, and Manager Lu felt a little regretful. Looking back, he seemed to be making a fuss out of a molehill.With the factory built like this, who would dare to work?

A fire not only burned down the factory, but also destroyed most of the machines in the factory.Once thinking of the money that should not have been spent, Li Jinyan felt a pain in the flesh.

John, the manager of the American firm, welcomed Li Jinyan's additional orders and expressed regret for the fire at the soap factory.

"It's a disaster."

"Yes, no one wants to suffer such a disaster." Li Jinyan said: "This disaster cost me a lot of money, but it allowed you to earn more."

Li Jinyan's self-deprecating joke made John laugh, "Li, you are so humorous."

"I'm telling the truth." Li Jinyan said: "Let's get down to business."

Once business was discussed, both men became serious.

Li Jinyan told John that he needed to buy another batch of soap-making machines, forty pedal sewing machines.In addition, he also ordered two tractors.

"God, are you sure you want a tractor and not some other vehicle?"

"You heard me right, what I want is a tractor." Li Jinyan nodded the contract on the table, "I want a tractor powered by a diesel internal combustion engine. The price is not a problem, and I also need fifty barrels of diesel."

"I still don't get it." John shrugged. "But business is business."

"Yes, business is business." Li Jinyan said with a smile: "I always think that the Jewish saying is right, the body depends on the heart, but the heart depends on the wallet. We all need to enrich our wallets, don't we ?"

John's eyes changed, "Dear Lee, I suspect that you are really only 17 years old."

Li Jinyan spread his hands, "Actually, I'm also skeptical."

John and Li Jinyan laughed at the same time.

After the "beating, smashing and looting" by Russian prisoners of war, several Japanese trading houses in Guanbei City have closed down, while the remaining few are still operating, but their business has plummeted.

The so-called shopping malls are like battlefields, and the business of the Japanese is not good, so other firms began to join forces to suppress Japanese firms.Among them, the biggest contributors turned out to be Russian and American firms.Except for one or two companies with relatively strong capital, the rest of the Japanese commercial firms gradually became unable to support them, and closed their doors one after another in the following days.

Li Jinyan did not expect things to develop like this.Is this considered unintentional or is it a wedding dress for someone else?In any case, Li Sanshao was happy with this result.

At the end of March, the machines of the foreign firm were finally delivered, and the rumble of the machines was heard again in the workshop of the soap factory, and the Jiahua factory also started production.

Lu Huaide learned the lesson from last time and was even stricter than Li Jinyan when recruiting workers.As long as there is any doubt, it is resolutely not accepted.It is useless to say that it is love.He suffered a loss once, and he will never suffer a second time!Especially the handmade soap making workshop has almost become the world of veterans.

The concierge of the soap factory and the Jiahua factory also kept two wolf dogs, both of which were bought from the old Orion.Cubs born of earth dogs and wild wolves don't bark easily, but as long as they are stared at by those eyes, most people's calves will tremble.

The concierge also arranged for soldiers. Most of these soldiers had injured their arms and hands during the battle. They were not suitable for working in factories, but it was suitable for such a job.

Compared with the soap factory, the Jahwa factory is entirely Li Jinyan's own industry. Mr. Li San is very concerned about the factory, and must follow the rules of the soap factory and the clothing factory.Some ex-soldiers were arranged in the factory, but the soldiers were very uncomfortable to bring home fragrance all the time.

"It's common for a soldier to smell sour and gunpowder all over his body, but this smell..." A soldier who was five-footed and three-faced scratched his head, "I'm so fucking unaccustomed to it."

Speaking of which, the soldiers are still grateful to the Lou family and Li Jinyan.Now Marshal Lou's soldiers are saying that it's worth it to carry guns and die for the Lou family!

The western medicine factory that Li Jinyan first planned did not start construction as he thought.Marshal Lou and Marshal Lou have the same opinion, the pharmaceutical factory must be arranged in a secret place, and it can be kept hidden for as long as possible!Even if you sell medicine in the future, you can't do it on the bright side, you have to do it in private.

After going through all kinds of things during this period, Li Jinyan also realized what he had neglected before. Just a piece of soap would cause a big fire. If the news about sulfonamide spread, who knows what would happen?

At that time, the Japanese may not be the only ones looking for trouble.

Wanting to understand this, Li Jinyan simply let go and handed over the construction of the pharmaceutical factory to Marshal Lou to arrange.
