Chapter 2912

When Li Nai came out of Tao Donglai's mansion, a dark-skinned young man immediately came up to him and asked, "Uncle, is everything going well? Have you told Mr. Tao?"

Li Nai waved his hand and said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's get in the car first and then talk."

The young man came to his senses and quickly called to the coachman to drive the carriage to him. He opened the door and helped Li Nai into the carriage first, and then got into the carriage.

This young man is Li Yuande, who Li Nai asked for favors from Tao Donglai and planned to arrange to work under Qian Tiandun. He came with Li Nai today, but the matter that Li Nai wanted to discuss with Tao Donglai involved many parties.

Due to interests, it was not appropriate to have a third person around, so Li Yuande could only wait outside.

After the carriage started slowly, Li Nai said calmly: "Yuande, I have already discussed your matter with Mr. Tao. The Ministry of National Defense will make arrangements later and transfer you to the South China Sea to work with General Qian.

.”

Li Yuande immediately couldn't hide his joy and bowed to Li Nai: "Thank you so much, uncle. Fortunately, you came forward and this matter was able to go so smoothly."

Li Nai warned: "Don't think too simplistically. General Qian's men are all elites in the military, and they can't tolerate disdain in their eyes. If your performance is mediocre after you go and you can't satisfy General Qian, sooner or later you will have to do it."

Returned.”

Li Yuande said: "Then should I join the army first and then go, or should I go by recruiting civilian ships?"

Li Nai said: "This is not a choice we can make. It depends on how the Ministry of National Defense makes it easier to operate. But in my opinion, it is better not to join the army and go as a civilian. If something is wrong after going, at least there will be

Way out. If you join the army, you won't be able to escape easily."

Li Yuande was silent after hearing this. It can be said that joining the army has been one of his aspirations since he was a child. However, due to family reasons, he had to inherit part of the family business when he became an adult and could not choose to join the army to fulfill his dream. Unexpectedly, here in the South China Sea

After staying there for several years, he actually got the opportunity to serve Qian Tiandun. If he had to make his own decision, he would definitely choose to join the army, because only in this way would he have the opportunity to stay under Qian Tiandun for a long time.

But from a rational point of view, Li Nai's suggestion is indeed more in line with the reality. Li Yuande has no military experience, so even if he is specially recruited into Qian Tiandun's army, he may not be able to adapt. If he wants to leave at that time, he will be restricted by military law and discipline, but he can

It's not that easy anymore.

Seeing that his nephew was silent, Li Nai could roughly guess what he was thinking, so he continued to persuade: "You go there as a civilian first to see the situation. If you think you can afford that bowl of rice, then you can join the army."

It’s not too late. By then you will be familiar with General Qian and you can listen to his opinions.”

After hearing what he said, Li Yuande also felt that this plan was more feasible. He nodded and thanked Li Nai again for his advice.

Li Nai looked at Li Yuande and couldn't help but think of all the experiences he had when he was young. He admired Haihan no less than Li Yuande at that time. In order to facilitate contact with Haihan's upper class, he even settled in Sanya for a long time

, I only go back to Guangzhou once every few years.

If Li Nai was willing, he could have been naturalized as a Haihan citizen at a very early age and entered the officialdom to find an official position. Maybe he would already be at the helm of a department in Haihan.

But he did not make such a choice. Instead, he abided by his duty and chose the path he should take as a son of the Li family. It was not until the situation in Haihan was established that he followed the advice of his father Li Jifeng and naturalized Haihan along with his family.

.

To this day, Li Nai is only a businessman. Although he is rich and noble, he cannot compare with people with official status. However, Li Nai does not regret his original choice. He knows that he is not suitable for an official career, even if he becomes one

An official may not be a good official who fulfills his duties.

On the contrary, it is more convenient to act as a businessman. Not only can he come and go freely, but he also does not need to worry about being superior to his subordinates when interacting with senior officials in Haihan.

Perhaps due to the long-term influence of Haihan, Li Nai does not agree with the family's approach of restricting Li Yuande from joining the army. He prefers to let young people choose their own development path. However, considering the actual situation, Li Nai does not want his nephew to join the army in the future.

He regretted his choice, so he suggested that he should not be impulsive and choose a safer route to realize his wish.

"This matter cannot be rushed. We have to do it step by step. Don't move around during this period. Stay in Sanya and complete the necessary procedures." Li Nai paused and then continued: "In addition, don't

Forget about business, after this news is released, the prices of many things will gradually increase. Buy what you need to buy, buy what you need to buy, and don’t miss the opportunity to make money."

Li Yuande responded: "I have drawn up a list and asked my third uncle to take a look." After saying that, he took out a list and handed it to Li Nai.

This directory lists dozens of commodities in categories, including grain, cloth, medicinal materials, fishing and agricultural tools, daily necessities, etc.

This is not the first time that Haihan has launched a large-scale military operation, and it is certainly not the first time that Furifeng has taken advantage of such an opportunity to make a lot of money.

When the country begins to enter the preparation period, the supply and demand relationship of some commodities on the market will inevitably become tense, which will affect the market price. For merchants like Furifeng, which has strong economic strength and controls many upstream supply sources, of course it can

Take this opportunity to earn a larger bid-ask spread than usual.

Furifeng's approach is not in the traditional sense of hoarding goods to make money for the country, because it is one of Haihan's officially designated private suppliers, and many products on the market are originally distributed through Furifeng's supply and sales channels.

As long as a stable supply in the market can be ensured, Haihan will generally acquiesce to Furifeng making a little more profit appropriately.

Furifeng usually subscribes to various bonds, donates to various charity projects, labor relief, and maintains various expenses for maintaining connections, all in order to get some special treatment when the opportunity to make money comes, and this is the situation now.

.

After Li Nai read the list, he couldn't help but nod his head and said in praise: "It's well done. It's really hard work."

Li Yuande said proudly: "Third uncle, with my ability, I should be able to do the job as a quartermaster or something under General Qian, right?"

Li Nai waved his hand and said: "Don't ask me about this, it doesn't matter what I say. When you go to General Qian's side, you will naturally know his employment standards. If you really want to join the army, take advantage of this period.

It’s a good time to catch up on relevant knowledge.”

Li Yuande said: "I would like to go to the Army Academy for a few days, but they only recruit officers, so I am not qualified to go in!"

Li Nai said: "Is the Army Academy a place that everyone can enter? Stop thinking about it. Go to the Sanya Library to borrow some military books, or invite a few retired officers to your home to tell you about the military.

There are rules and taboos, so that you won’t even be able to figure out the direction when you go there.”

Li Yuande heard what he said was reasonable and quickly agreed solemnly.
