Fred sent news that ten carloads of flour would be shipped to Russia this time. The flour was sold from the United States and was of high quality. He asked the 27th Division to prepare. This was the first time of cooperation.
Fred did not dare to go too far, so he only asked Zhang Tinglan to attack five wagons of flour.
Zhang Tinglan introduced the situation to Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang: "We can move five wagons this time, and each wagon weighs about forty tons. We can keep 70%, and then use the accumulated grain to fill the gap. Calculated,
It’s only 140 to 50 tons, and the quantity is really not too big. With the Sixth Master of Labor taking over, it’s really quite a massive effort!”
Sun Liechen's face was also full of joy. Ever since he learned about Zhang Tinglan's method of making money, he simply didn't know what to say. This young man is bold and has many ideas. Now the whole of China, starting from the president Yuan Shikai, to
All ordinary people are not afraid of foreigners, but this young man dares to take ideas from foreigners. How can we not be impressed?
"You brat, you are just entertaining me. One hundred and fifty tons is one thousand five hundred tons. Once it can be sold for four yuan on the market, it will be six thousand yuan. This is not a small amount. If it is a month
If we can do it two or three times, our military salary for one division will be enough!"
Sun Liechen said and then said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Fuchen, Tinglan has such great ability, but you didn't tell us at all. It's so unkind as a brother!"
Zhang Zuoxiang just laughed. Zhang Tinglan's performance in the past few days made him feel that it was earth-shaking. He suddenly turned from a young boy into a little god of wealth who could turn his hands into clouds and rain. If it weren't for the fact that there was no change in his appearance, Zhang Zuoxiang would even
They all thought that their son had changed into a different person.
Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang mobilized 200 of their most reliable men, and at the same time obtained fifty carriages to transport food. After everything was arranged, Zhang Tinglan found Fred as agreed, and then came to Wenguantun Train together.
stand.
Wenguantun is located in the north of Fengtian and has excellent feng shui. Most dignitaries and dignitaries choose their cemeteries here. This is how Wenguantun got its name. It is not far from Fengtian and is relatively hidden, so it can avoid the eyes and ears of other people.
At almost ten o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone arrived at the Wenguantun Railway Station. A train had already stopped here. Fred had already said hello. Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen ordered their men to load the carriage first.
The grain was unloaded, and fresh flour began to be transported from the train.
This was the first time for these soldiers to do this kind of work. They had never seen so much white flour. These soldiers from poor families were only willing to spend money to buy several kilograms of flour and make a meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year, which they could not eat at ordinary times.
Everyone was extremely excited to see such fine grain.
Zhang Tinglan had promised on the way that everyone who participated in the transportation would be rewarded with twenty kilograms of flour. These people immediately became energetic and worked very quickly.
"Zhang, is this the replacement food you prepared?"
At this time, Fred opened a bag of aged grain prepared by Zhang Tinglan and the others. It contained moldy and spoiled grain, exuding a pungent smell, and it was also mixed with a lot of gravel, straw sticks and other debris, and even
There was a lot of rat droppings, basically stuff that even livestock wouldn’t eat.
Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were still a little bit regretful. They had obtained these rotten and spoiled grains from warehouses and some large households. Due to the rush of time, they had to get all kinds of rags to make up the amount.
"Mr. Fred, we will get some better food next time, don't worry!"
Sun Liechen explained to Fred apologetically, but Fred actually shook his head, "Commander Sun, you have misunderstood. I don't think you need to prepare so much food. You should know what the animals eat, right?"
It’s enough to prepare fodder for those gray animals!”
Fred's words were too clear. He was telling Sun Liechen that they could use the food eaten by the animals as food next time, and not use these valuable things at all.
This world is so crazy! Sun Liechen even doubted his own ears. He thought he was already dark enough, but he didn't expect that this foreigner was even darker than himself. This really makes every mountain higher than the other.
He could only think of feeding the frontline soldiers, so he wasn't afraid of causing a mutiny? Zhang Tinglan, who was standing by, was not surprised at all. These Jewish bankers only saw profit, and they would do whatever they wanted to make money, so this kind of thing was completely
As expected.
"Mr. Fred, you are becoming more and more courageous. Is there any good news?"
"Zhang, I can't hide anything from you. You are what the Chinese call a little fox. The nephew of the Tsar has just taken over the power of the Far East. In the eyes of that guy, there are only money and women. As for other things, he doesn't care. With him in the Far East
One day, everything will go smoothly for us!"
Sun Liechen couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this: "There is a big problem with military supplies. Won't the Russian government investigate it?"
"This kind of thing will never happen. There are many uprisings in Russia, there are also peasant riots, and left-wing forces are constantly launching strikes. In such a chaotic country, there will definitely be things like robbing military supplies, being taken away by mobs, and being burned down.
Burned, consumed along the way, there are so many ways to make food disappear!" Fred shrugged indifferently.
Now Sun Liechen was completely convinced. Not only was China such a mess of emotions, but Russia was as well. Moreover, these Russians seemed to be even crazier than the Chinese in doing things. They even used military supplies so casually. They were simply making fun of a war that was related to the fate of the country. This kind of
If the country does not suffer a tragic defeat, there will be no justice.
Zhang Tinglan suddenly rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea: "Since Russia is at war, there must be a shortage of supplies, right?"
Fred is such a keen guy. When he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he immediately thought of what he meant and was ecstatic, "Zhang, do you think we should smuggle to Russia?"
"why not?"
"Then what do you think is better?"
Zhang Tinglan thought for a moment, and then said: "I think they are tobacco and alcohol. The number of drunkards in Russia can be said to be unparalleled in the world. As for tobacco, it is an extremely profitable industry. What do you think?"
Fred smiled brightly and said, "Zhang, you are a genius. I think if you are determined to do business, you will definitely become the richest man in China in the future!"
The two foxes, the big one and the small one, agreed on another deal in the blink of an eye. Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang on the side didn't know what to say. It turns out that there are many opportunities to make money. The key is whether you have the vision and courage.
Of course, you have to be ruthless at critical moments.
At this time, the soldiers had packed the food, and Zhang Tinglan and others quietly left the civilian camp. After the flour was transported back, Lao Zhang had been waiting for him. This was the future money of the 27th Division, and Zhang Zuolin did not dare to neglect it. When he
When I see bags of fine white noodles, my eyes are filled with smiles.
"Uncle Seven, I have an idea. This time we got 150 tons, which is 300,000 kilograms. We won't be able to sell so much white flour for a while. Can we give each soldier five kilograms of white flour?
Letting everyone have a meal of dumplings is also a benefit for our Twenty-Seventh Division!"
Lao Zhang glanced at Zhang Tinglan thoughtfully, and guessed what Zhang Tinglan meant. The riot in the 53rd Brigade proved that Lao Zhang's control over the army was not strong enough. His white face at this time was undoubtedly helping Lao Zhang.
Gather the morale of the army. Soldiers these days are also very simple, that is, they will hang out with whoever gives them money, and they will listen to whoever can make their men live well!
Thinking of this, Lao Zhang nodded in agreement. He immediately ordered 60,000 kilograms of white flour to be set aside, and the next day he distributed white flour to all the soldiers. At the same time, he also gave out a thousand yuan to sell meat and vegetables to everyone.
The entire 27th Division was immediately beaming with joy. Eating a meal of meat-filled dumplings was definitely a New Year treat. Everyone felt extremely happy when they took a bite of the oily dumplings. The soldiers who complained about Zhang Zuolin's unpaid military pay two days ago were instantly
Everyone only knows how to be grateful, but the teacher still feels sorry for you. Even after paying the salary, you can even give dumplings to eat. Isn’t this just compensating everyone? There’s nothing else to complain about!
