Fortunately, this area has a thick layer of loess, so it is not difficult to dig. Of course, there are many problems that need to be solved. Xu Dalong decided to first conduct an on-site inspection before talking about it.

That night Xu Dalong and others quietly came to the abandoned battlefield. Because a large pit had been dug in the past, standing in the pit could block the sight of the Japanese military airport. Because the battlefield had been abandoned for a long time, there were still many holes in the pit.

There are a lot of reeds growing there, which can provide some cover, and it looks like a good place to dig tunnels.

Of course, there are still many difficulties in digging such a long tunnel.

After returning to the liaison station, Wang Yaohui said: "How to deal with digging such a long tunnel and digging out so much soil? How to solve the ventilation problem?"

Wang Yaohui is an expert in special agents, has rich knowledge, and the questions he asks are all very professional.

Xu Dalong said: "I have carefully observed that we can only carry out construction at night. The excavated soil is poured into the river and let the river water wash away the soil. Even if the river water becomes turbid at night, people downstream cannot see it.

"

Wang Yaohui nodded and said: "This is a solution. So how to solve the ventilation problem?"

This problem is the most difficult to solve. If the ventilation problem is not solved in the tunnel, the people inside will soon lack oxygen, and it will be impossible to dig such a long tunnel.

This requires that vents must be left on the ground at regular intervals. The vents are exposed on the ground and are difficult to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army.

Xu Dalong asked Lin Xueying to get a pen and paper and draw a simple device on a piece of paper. Everyone saw that this device is actually an iron pipe with an umbrella-shaped cover on the top. If it extends from the bottom to the ground, it will be very short.

Distance, hidden in the grass is difficult to find.

Wang Yaohui said: "How much role can such a small vent play in such a long tunnel?"

Xu Dalong said: "If you rely on this small vent alone, it is indeed impossible to solve the air circulation problem. You can install a blower between two underground vents. Several blowers face the same direction, and a blower can be installed on the top of the blower.

The crank handle can be driven by human power, which can solve the problem of air circulation."

Wang Yaohui nodded and said, "I think this method will work."

Lin Xueying didn't know much about this aspect. While listening to their conversation, she kept having a question in her mind.

She asked: "With such a long distance, digging underground and being invisible, how can we ensure that we dig exactly where we want to go?"

Monk Wei actually had such a question. When Lin Xueying asked, he looked at Xu Dalong and Wang Yaohui with some curiosity.

Wang Yaohui said: "This is not a problem. The engineers have special ranging and direction-finding instruments. Even if they are underground, they will not dig wrong."

Then, he explained to Lin Xueying and Monk Wei the names and methods of use of the professional direction finding and ranging instruments for engineers.

Wang Yaohui said: "I'm afraid we guys can't do things like digging tunnels. It would be best to transfer some people from the engineering corps and let them do it."

Xu Dalong said: "What Team Leader Wang said makes sense. Then send another telegram to the Zhongtiao Mountain Command and ask them to send a group of engineers and people who transport explosives."

The matter was settled. Xu Dalong and others waited for someone from the Zhongtiao Mountain Command to arrive.

Since it would be some time before the supplies and personnel arrived, Xu Dalong had nothing to do, so he wandered around Taiyuan City accompanied by Lin Xueying.

That afternoon, Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying returned to the trading company, and Zhou Mingde came to Xu Dalong with a sad look on his face.

He said: "Captain, there is a problem with a batch of goods here, and I'm afraid it will cause a lot of losses. I'm really sorry. This is my dereliction of duty."

Xu Dalong said: "Don't worry, what happened? Speak slowly."

Zhou Mingde told what happened. It turned out that Zhou Mingde's trading company mainly dealt in grain. As the company's operations got on track, Zhou Mingde was free to deal with other goods.

This year he purchased a batch of tea from the south. There was originally a distributor. Unexpectedly, something happened to that company. The shopkeeper was arrested by the Japanese and soon died in prison. This business was naturally done.

It doesn't work.

Since Zhou Mingde has not been in the tea business for a long time and is not familiar with other dealers, such a large amount of goods is here, which takes up a lot of funds.

What he bought was green tea, which is seasonal and cannot be sold in time. If it accumulates, it will become old tea, and its value will be greatly reduced.

Zhou Mingde couldn't think of any solution for the moment, so he had to report to Xu Dalong. He said that he was willing to take responsibility for the losses caused.

As the captain of the intelligence squadron, Zheng Xirong was also responsible for what happened to Zhou Mingde. He believed that Zhou Mingde had always done an excellent job and the accident was not his personal responsibility. He expressed to Xu Dalong that he was willing to talk to Zhou Mingde

Take responsibility together.

Xu Dalong still appreciated their attitude of taking the initiative to take responsibility.

He said: "Don't be anxious. Bring those tea leaves to me."

The tea came quickly and was packaged in kraft paper. There were three varieties of tea.

Xu Dalong checked each one and said: "They are all good tea leaves!"

Zhou Mingde said with shame: "The tea is good tea, but if you can't find a market for it, it will become old tea after being stored for a long time."

Xu Dalong asked: "What will happen if we sell it ourselves?"

Zhou Mingde shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is difficult. There are no dealers. If we go to those retailers one by one, they will lower the price. This transaction will lose money anyway."

After Xu Dalong thought for a while, he said: "We don't want dealers, we will sell them ourselves."

Zhou Mingde thought that Xu Dalong didn't know how to do business, so he said cautiously: "Captain, I'm afraid this won't work. We are not in the retail business, and no one knows that we sell tea here. If we sell tea at one pound per pound, the workload will be too much."

If it's too big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do. Besides, it's impossible to sell it at this price."

Xu Dalong smiled and said: "There must be a road for a car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for a boat to reach the bridge. As long as you are willing to use your brain, there will be a way. We sell the tea ourselves, and we guarantee that it will be sold out soon. Not only that, the price will be higher than

The price of tea on the market is several times higher.”

Zhou Mingde thought Xu Dalong was talking nonsense because it was simply impossible.

Although Zheng Xirong, Wei Monk and Lin Xueying had not consulted, they also felt that Xu Dalong's words might be a bit unreliable this time. However, no one dared to question Xu Dalong, so they glared and no one said a word.

Xu Dalong saw everyone's expressions and knew what they were thinking.

He smiled and said: "Didn't I just say it? There are always more solutions than difficulties. According to the previous sales methods, of course this is not possible. We can do this..."

As Xu Dalong explained, everyone felt their eyes light up and couldn't help but nod their heads frequently.

After Xu Dalong finished speaking, Zhou Mingde said excitedly: "Captain, you are so smart. It's amazing that you can think of such a method. I'm sure this method will work, and with this sales, our

The sales of tea will definitely become famous in Taiyuan City and even the whole of Shanxi. It will be much more convenient for us to operate tea in the future."

Zhou Mingde is a very neat person, and he immediately followed Xu Dalong's instructions to organize things.

Soon after, several newspapers in Taiyuan published large advertisements.

The advertising slogan is as follows: "Dear users, our company has accepted orders from major customers in Europe and the United States and other countries. Among the tea leaves picked from the three most famous green tea producing areas, we select the best and adopt Japan's advanced tea-making technology.

Germany's advanced packaging technology has produced a batch of high-quality tea, exclusively for drinking by successful people in Europe and the United States. In order to give back to our customers, we have specially left a small amount of tea for export to domestic sales to thank our customers for their support of our company."

The advertisement is also accompanied by a picture, which shows an exquisite tea packaging box with German, Japanese and English characters printed on it.

Below the picture is written: "Exclusive product for successful Westerners, a symbol of status, and a great gift."

The advertisement also said: "In order to grandly launch this product, a new product launch conference will be held at Guangyuan Building at 9 a.m. on Wednesday. New and old customers and friends from the media are welcome to attend. There will be exquisite gifts given away. Welcome to patronize!

"

In this era, businesses have begun to have advertising awareness, but the means of publicity are relatively expensive and limited. The form of product launch is still relatively unfamiliar to people, so it feels fresh. In addition, I heard that there will be gifts on site, so

Many people come to the company to ask for invitations.

On this day, a new product launch conference was held as scheduled in Guangyuan Building, and many guests came.

Zhou Mingde's uncle is the deputy director of the Taiyuan Power Supply Bureau. Through him, he invited a group of officials and some business people who received the invitation. The major newspapers and periodicals in Taiyuan all sent reporters. Zhou Mingde not only did some work in these newspapers

The large-scale advertisements allowed them to earn enough advertising fees, and they also gave these reporters gifts and money, so they naturally wanted to support them vigorously.

The people who came the most were citizens. They had already gone to the trading company to ask for invitations. As a result, there were so many people that they had to be controlled. Even so, there was still a huge flow of people.

After everyone arrived at the venue, the first thing that caught people's eyes was the reception girls. Two very beautiful and stylish girls wearing red cheongsam, polite and smiling.

This kind of formation is not uncommon in Taiyuan City, but this time it was different. The two greeters turned out to be tall foreign girls. Although they did not speak Chinese fluently, they greatly improved the quality of the new product launch conference.

After the guests were seated, several beautiful foreign girls appeared on the rostrum. They twisted their graceful bodies and danced to the beat of the music, holding in their hands the top-grade tea packaging boxes launched by the trading company this time.

They showed it on the stage and then stood on both sides.

The reporters stepped forward to take pictures one after another. The spotlights were flashing and white smoke was rising.

Then Zhou Mingde came forward. Today he was wearing a well-tailored suit. He looked elegant and handsome. His hair was trimmed neatly and neatly, which made people look very comfortable. Especially the female guests saw that Zhou Mingde was handsome and elegant.

They expressed their admiration, chattering and chattering, and the hall became buzzing with voices.

Zhou Mingde stood in front of the standing microphone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, our company has worked closely with Germany to launch three tea gift packages, using West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Xinyang Maojian, and the best of the best.

, using Japanese tea-making technology and German packaging technology, we have developed a top-quality tea gift bag. Owning this gift bag is a symbol of status. Whether it is for personal use or as a gift, it shows your noble status.

This product is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, with prices of twelve oceans, twenty-eight oceans and fifty-eight oceans respectively."

"Wow, it's so expensive!"

The price announced by Zhou Mingde, even the most common grade, is several times more expensive than the tea on the market.

People are curious, and the high price did not scare people away. Instead, it aroused people's strong interest. Everyone talked about it and looked forward to it.

When setting the price, Zhou Mingde proposed that the price be twice, three times and five times higher than the market price.

Xu Dalong started at ten times the price as soon as he opened his mouth. Zhou Mingde was worried that it would not be accepted by the market. When he announced the price, he couldn't help but feel very uneasy.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhou Mingde felt relieved.

He said: "Now I have good news to announce. All the distinguished guests attending the new product launch conference can receive a gift bag worth twelve oceans. Now I ask the etiquette lady to give it to everyone."

Many of the people who came to the press conference came because they heard that there were gifts being given away. When they heard that they could get a gift worth twelve oceans, they immediately burst into warm applause.
