Since the Mid-Autumn Festival anti-rape operation, An Yi has stopped all external actions and asked his brothers to devote all their energy to arduous training and self-improvement.
An Yi personally took charge of the political training and military theory education courses for the 180-person teaching team. More than ten professional instructors continued to teach practical skills and experience every day; the special brigade led by Ding Zhicheng entered a ten-day rest period.
They will use this precious time to carefully select 50 outstanding officers and soldiers from more than 2,000 soldiers to add to their own team; the first phase of 3,000 officers and soldiers will be recruited after the recruitment office resumes work.
More than 600 recruits were tortured by An Yi's generals and more than ten instructors for three days. Among them, 830 outstanding recruits were transferred to the non-commissioned officer training base and began training that was more than twice as intense as that of ordinary troops.
After hard training, the remaining 2,800 recruits stayed in the recruiting camp across the wall to undergo a month of basic training for recruits. After one month, these recruits will be taken away by the divisions of the First Army.
After the Recruitment Office regained military funding, it resumed its functions. A document jointly issued by He Yingqin's First Route Army Staff Headquarters and the Political Department stipulated that the Nanchang Recruitment Office's monthly military expenditure totaled 50,000 yuan, and it must complete an annual payment to
Each unit of the First Route Army has the task of transporting 20,000 soldiers who have undergone preliminary training and meet the standards.
At a glance, the money seems to be a lot, 50,000 yuan per month and up to 600,000 yuan per year. However, on average, each recruit can only receive 30 yuan in recruitment fees, and the salaries of the more than 100 officers and soldiers in the recruitment department have not been calculated.
Interior, clothing, training, food and other miscellaneous expenses are all included in it. This difficult task is simply difficult to complete, but An Yi ordered the acting director Chang Baofang to follow the order.
An Yi was keenly aware of the complex relationship, and knew that the reason why the Recruitment Department could be preserved was all the result of the efforts of Commander Huangpu, his brothers and colleagues who served as chief officers at all levels in the First Army to He Yingqin. As for the
Whether or not the mission can be completed is secondary. The key is that the recruiting office can continue to exist.
As long as the operation continues, all the expenses will eventually be paid, because no division of the First Army wants to see its supplementary soldiers arrive unarmed and still wearing the clothes of ordinary people. At this point, An Yi is very good
I have confidence and know that the elders and comrades of the First Army will not turn a blind eye.
At night, after visiting the brothers' families, An Yi had to greet friends from the press from Nanjing and Shanghai. Most of them had worked for An Yi when he led the remaining troops back to Nanjing and were trapped in the Xiaguan camp.
He loudly called for justice due to the unfair treatment suffered by soldiers and soldiers. Therefore, An Yi gratefully received these friends from the press, including two old friends, He Jing and Zhou Chongan.
On the second floor of Lao Hantou's restaurant, cups and cups were intertwined and cheers abounded. Zhou Chongan and other fifteen reporters from afar were divided into two tables, led by Yin Jinan who was holding a cane, Zhan Huanqi, chief of staff of the Nanchang Security Corps, and the First Army Recruitment Department.
Agent
Ren Changbaofang and others greeted the table. An Yi, Gu Changfeng and Yang Bin, who had just returned from the inspection of various units of the Third Army, accompanied Zhou Chongan, He Jing, the famous photographer Lao Zhuang and Chen Jianxuan, a young reporter from the Shanghai Times, and others sat together again.
table.
Halfway through the wine, He Jing interrupted An Yi's thanks: "Stop thanking me, what are you doing? You guys have been thanking me non-stop since we sat down. Okay, okay, we are all old friends. As for
Are you so polite... By the way, I have to tell you something. The book "Iron-Blooded Lion" has been published. The first printing of 50,000 copies was sold out within ten days. It will be reprinted soon. The influence is definitely not the same as "Model".
Under the camp, I also made a lot of money.
If my estimate is correct, I am afraid that due to the influence of this book, many aspiring young people will rush to Lao Nanchang to join you soon, so you must be mentally prepared first."
"Haha, I have a lot of waste waiting for things here, and I'm just looking for it."
An Yi laughed. Seeing that He Jing was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Chongan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Both Brother He and Senior Zhuang have left the "Central Daily News". After the new Kuomintang Nanjing government led by Li Zongren was formed, they immediately carried out a purge of the "Central Daily News" and eliminated almost half of the editorial staff.
and department heads, and replaced them with a large number of new people from the Gui and Shanghai factions, one emperor and one courtier!
Therefore, Brother He and Senior Zhuang are planning to move to Shanghai, and after a period of rest, they will start contacting for work. I think with their ability, it will be easy for them to enter a newspaper of the size of our "Shenbao"."
Gu Changfeng's eyes widened and he looked at the photographer Zhuang Fengshuo with a beautiful beard in surprise: "Ah!? Lao Zhuang, even an expert of your level has been abandoned? This is incredible!"
Lao Zhuang nonchalantly had a drink with his old friend Gu Changfeng: "It's not that he abandoned someone in my village, but that I disdained being associated with those spineless sycophants, so I resigned voluntarily! Now I am very happy.
easy!"
Everyone smiled knowingly after hearing this. An Yi looked at He Jing with a smile, then looked at Lao Zhuang, and made an unexpected suggestion: "Don't you want to open a newspaper of your own? Why do you always have to look at other people's faces to act? In this new year,
Starting a newspaper is as easy as opening a restaurant, it doesn’t take much effort.”
He Jing rolled his eyes at An Yi and said with a sullen mouth: "Do you think opening a newspaper is as easy as opening a restaurant? Let's not talk about personnel and opening approval procedures. A decent newspaper should have offices, printing plants and so on.
You must meet the most basic conditions, right? In addition, you must establish your own distribution channels, otherwise it will be like the ones on the market.
Those various tabloids cannot last long. Without the recognition of the public, they will eventually lose money and become unsustainable. The two basic conditions of an office and a printing factory are far beyond what one person can support. This huge investment is no more than 20
Under ten thousand, even selling both of us would not be enough to cover even a fraction of the investment."
Everyone laughed again. Zhou Chongan had already realized something from An Yi's smile. Xiao watched quietly with interest. As expected, An Yi showed a smile of success, hugged He Jing's shoulder next to him, and said maliciously: "You
How about I let my younger brother provide the money, and you and Lao Zhuang will be responsible for recruiting troops?"
When Lao Zhuang heard this, he was shocked and pointed at An Yi speechless. He Jing was also surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he asked anxiously: "Do you really have this plan?"
"I have had this plan for a long time, but I had been leading troops and had no time. Moreover, the old Nanchang Industrial and Commercial District is still in its infancy and I don't have the energy. Now everything is gradually getting on track, and the time is ripe to open a newspaper.
"
An Yi solemnly expressed his thoughts: "I have always believed that many voices of justice in this world cannot be conveyed. Many warlords rely on their own propaganda tools to manipulate public opinion and confuse right and wrong. The interests and wishes of the people are not protected.
There was no chance to speak.
For example, myself and my brothers under my command, if it hadn’t been for everyone’s strong help and appeal in unison, no one would have known about being slaughtered quietly, so I feel deeply!
In fact, my basic purpose of running a newspaper is very simple, which is to promote the spirit of patriotism, safeguard the interests of the majority of people, and treat everything from a fair and objective standpoint.
Furthermore, I want to promote my company and products. More and more factories and shops in Nanchang also need to publish their information in newspapers. Many industrial and commercial enterprises have established or are establishing close cooperative relationships with us, so I
I am very confident. The only thing I am not confident about is that I am an outsider in this aspect, so there must be an expert to lead and run this newspaper.
As long as we follow the principles of rigorous and realistic newspaper management, strictly adhere to neutrality, impartiality, discuss matters as they happen, and pursue the truth, I will give leaders full autonomy and decision-making power.
Brother He, Lao Zhuang, I would like to sincerely seek your opinions now. How about serving as the president and vice president of the newspaper I am about to establish? You will recruit the staff yourself. After the newspaper is published, everything will be on track. We will sum up the experience together and decide.
Set new rules and regulations and mid- to long-term development goals.”
The guests and brothers at the two tables all looked at An Yi. He Jing's eyes were full of excitement, and the surprised Lao Zhuang was speechless:
"Xiaoyi, what you said...is it true? How big do you plan to run this newspaper?"
An Yi replied solemnly: "It's absolutely true! Even if you two don't come today, I will find you soon to ask for your opinions. As for the scale of the newspaper, I have a preliminary plan, that is, if I don't do it, I will do it.
It has to be decent, not only to distribute in Nanchang and Jiangxi, but also to establish its own printing plants and distribution channels in Nanjing and Shanghai, the two political, economic and cultural centers, and slowly radiate to major cities after it becomes bigger and stronger.
, and finally we must be able to buy our newspapers in every city in the motherland.
I have initially decided to place the newspaper headquarters in the French Concession in Shanghai. I have a newly purchased property in Anhe New Village, No. 198, Father Jin Road, in the French Concession. It is next to Guangci Hospital and covers an area of more than 900 square meters.
Square meters of yard and a three-story villa, with two small houses on the left and right of the villa
If there is not enough money, the open space behind the yard can be used to build a printing factory; the property rights of the two three-story buildings facing the main road at the entrance of Nanjing Houzai Lane and the one-acre wide yard also belong to me, and the property rights of Nanchang are
Not to mention, I can buy it immediately wherever I like.
Now that you have an office and printing location, you have to choose the machines and equipment yourself. Remember to buy the best and reimburse the actual cost. You are fully responsible for the establishment of employees, salaries and benefits, office equipment, talent recruitment and management.
How about making a budget plan for another year, and I will be responsible for all expenses within one year, and I will be responsible for the profits and losses after one year?"
He Jing asked excitedly: "Really?"
"Joke! Why am I saying this if you don't do it? Are you wasting your breath? Even if you and Lao Zhuang don't do it, I will do it myself. At most, it's a little harder to find talents. Now I have you two good friends who know everything, and they are all like this
Experts in the field, why should I go to Feinashen?
You two tell me now, will you agree to my offer? If so, we will sign the contract tomorrow morning.
Don’t worry, your salary is indispensable. I heard that the famous writer Zhou Shuren’s monthly salary is only 300 yuan. My monthly salary for you two is tentatively set at 600 yuan... Don’t refuse, in my heart, you are much more than this.
Price!" An Yi said proudly.
He Jing and Lao Zhuang looked at each other excitedly, then turned to An Yi and nodded heavily.
An Yi laughed heartily, and stood up to pour wine for He Jing and Lao Zhuang in front of everyone's astonished eyes. He Jing and Lao Zhuang quickly stood up, raised their glasses, touched them with An Yi, drained them all, and put down their glasses.
They laughed in unison and were full of ambition.
Zhou Chongan was the first to applaud and congratulate him, with a sincere smile on his face, but deep feelings and mixed feelings in his heart. This talented man with a doctorate in economics and a master's degree in finance from the University of Paris, France, was greatly impressed by An Yi's boldness, boldness and shrewd strategies.
,think
Looking back on his years of journalistic career and the hard-earned life stage, Zhou Chong'an suddenly felt disappointed. Seeing that his good friend He Jing was a blessing in disguise, he was soon able to fully display his ambitions and talents on his own, but he was far behind. Zhou Chong'an
An felt extremely uncomfortable.
An Yi sat down and turned to Zhou Chongan. While pouring wine for Zhou Chongan, he made a request: "Brother Zhou, I have to ask Brother Zhou for help."
"Please tell me, we are brothers, why are we so polite?" Zhou Chongan nodded slightly, with a reserved smile on his face.
An Yi put down the bottle of wine: "It's like this. Since the number of factories under my brother's name has gradually increased, and the scale has gradually expanded, the current managers are already too busy, and they are not well qualified for the management model and management of new industrial and commercial enterprises.
To meet the needs of development, I decided to hire a group of professional management talents, including a deputy general manager who will be in charge of the overall situation for me, several accountants, seven technical factory directors with relevant majors, and three department store managers who are proficient in business.
.
Since the talent pool in Nanchang is limited and the choices are too narrow, I would like to publish a talent recruitment announcement in the "Declaration" where Brother Zhou works. Now that I have the content, the requirement is that it should occupy the lower quarter of the front page and be published continuously for one month.
Can the fee be paid in advance?"
The reporters couldn't help but exclaimed when they heard such a large sum of money. Zhou Chongan was also shocked: "This is unprecedented! I will send a telegram to the president tomorrow. As long as the price is right, I think I can meet your request. But no one has ever done it before."
This has been done before, on such a scale and for such a long time, isn’t it too shocking?”
An Yi's face was full of shrewdness and confidence: "I just want to achieve this terrible goal. It is best to let all walks of life in the country know about the booming old Nanchang Industrial Base and that there is an asset with assets of more than 30 million and is still...
The company continues to grow, involving hardware machinery, agricultural machinery and equipment, textiles and clothing, grain, oil and food, transportation and military supplies.
It is an enterprise group that manufactures auxiliary products. The name of this group is 'Jiangnan Enterprise Group'. All products produced from now on will be branded with 'Jiangnan Enterprise Group', making it familiar to the people of China and never forgetting it. Haha... a thousand pieces of gold.
Talent is easy to come by, but talent is hard to find! Everyone, do you know what is most lacking these days? Talent!"
Zhou Chongan could only nod silently, and the surrounding reporters all started to discuss it heatedly. Lao Zhuang said regretfully that this is a huge amount of advertising expenses. It would be great if we wait until our newspaper is established before publishing it, so that the money will not go to outsiders! As a result,
Everyone burst into laughter.
An Yi looked at Zhou Chongan meaningfully, thinking, I want to see how long you, a guy full of talent but with the bad temper of a scholar, can endure it? I will definitely defeat you!
Zhou Chongan saw a trace of temptation and expectation in An Yi's smiling eyes, but he controlled the surging passion and growing desire in his heart well, and elegantly raised his wine glass to chat with An Yi, He Jing, and Lao Zhuang.
, Gu Changfeng and others met one by one and extended heartfelt congratulations very gracefully. An Yi, who was so angry and full of expectations, just wanted to scold her.
