Chapter 514: Show your skills in dangerous places (2)
After the grand ceremony, Mr. Soong Ching Ling did not accept the persuasion of many central government elders and Chiang Kai-shek to stay, and rushed back to Shanghai by boat. An Yi also wanted to return home after the ceremony to prepare for tomorrow's trip to western Hubei. He had just walked to his
Zeng Kuanqing stopped him next to his car and informed him that Principal Jiang would meet with An Yi after bidding farewell to the envoys from various countries.
An Yi asked Zeng Kuangqing to go with him in his car. As the car drove out of the cemetery, An Yi asked: "Brother, you just came back from Chongqing, tell me how the situation is there?"
"It's not like that yet. The two factions and the three parties are fighting in a mess. It seems that food will be a big problem in many counties and towns this year. In addition, local tyrants and evil gentry are hoarding a lot of food. The price of rice is getting higher day by day. The people in central Sichuan are complaining and complaining.
Even the relatives and friends of Brother Yu’s family don’t have enough to eat. Under such circumstances, the various departments of the Sichuan Army do not agree to the central government’s dispatch of officials to mediate, let alone the central army’s stationing. If this continues, the whole of Sichuan will be in dire straits!”
Zeng Kuan shook his head helplessly, and with the shaking of the car, his head shook even more.
An Yi looked at Zeng Kuanqing worriedly: "So, the original plan to buy disaster relief grains in various places in Bashu is hopeless?"
Zeng Kuangqing let out a long sigh: "You should think of a solution as soon as possible in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Since the war has just ended, large areas of Hunan's fields have been left uncultivated and self-sufficiency is a problem, let alone Guangdong and Guangxi. The war is still going on.
Well, the only place that still has hope is the Poyang Lake area in Jiangxi... Huh? Haven't you already ordered the Old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce to purchase grain? I heard that even more than 30 counties in Fujian and western Zhejiang are transporting grain to Old Nanchang for sale.
Food, isn’t it enough?”
"It's just a drop in the bucket! So far, my brother and the Old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce have tried their best to raise only 12,000 tons of grain, of which 4,000 tons are corn and soybeans. They are all piled up in the old Nanchang dock warehouse and lined up for loading.
boat, week
More than 5,000 tons have been transported to the resettlement sites in various counties in western Hunan and western Hubei, and the remaining 7,000 tons will soon continue to be sent away. However, in the past half month, only the refugees from western Henan and southern Shaanxi have poured into western Hubei.
It has reached more than 200,000 people, with millions more following behind.
On a per capita basis, how many mouthfuls of food can each person get? Dongfangshe quietly revealed to the central government the latest news from the northwest, and the tragic situation of cannibalism has begun to appear in northern Shaanxi!" An Yi wailed in pain.
Zeng Kuangqing looked at An Yi for a long time: "Junior brother, I heard that you quietly borrowed five million from Zhonghui Bank in Shanghai for disaster relief?"
An Yi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Du Yuesheng donated 200,000 to the National Business Disaster Relief Federation organized by my younger brother, and also lent him 5 million at the lowest interest rate. This allowed me to raise 100,000 tons of wheat and 50,000
The deposit of tons of corn has been entrusted to Mr. Ou Yaoting in the United States to handle it on his behalf.
This matter also received strong support from the central government and the U.S. government. The principal, teachers’ wives, and the Song family also helped lobby the Americans, so that 150,000 tons could be set at the current international lowest price, even though deflation has begun to occur around the world.
, the transaction price of grain in the United States has dropped significantly, but without government support, the American capitalists would rather fall into the sea than trade at low prices. What's more, the bad news of our country's great famine has spread all over the world. Who are those international profiteers?
Don't want to take advantage of the situation?
It’s hard for me too! I’m so anxious that I’m almost losing my pants. If it weren’t for Zhang Xi, the financial director of Jiangnan Group, and his wife, who also rushed to the United States to rush for my brother’s disaster relief work, I would be really helpless. At this time, I can still control where the money comes from.
Yes? Can you lend me money to buy food for disaster relief? You can even ask me to kneel down!"
After listening to An Yi's words, Zeng Kuangqing was extremely moved: "Junior brother, how much wealth can you have left in this way? What about the subsequent development? Before brother Yu left last month, you whispered that you wanted to revitalize the industry and commerce in our hometown in Sichuan.
You asked Brother Yu to inspect the waterway and the current situation of the Chongqing area for you. Now that you have spent more than 10 million and borrowed heavily, what will you do next? How many millions of victims can you save?"
"Senior brother, I am not in the mood to think about the next step now. It would be good to save a few more. If the board of directors and Uncle Dao were not firmly opposed, I am afraid that I would also transfer the Jiangnan Group shares I currently own.
Our nation is suffering too much. Our compatriots across the country have not been able to live a peaceful life for so many years. What use does I, An Yi, have with tens of millions of dollars? As a revolutionary soldier, I often put the interests of the country and the nation before reporters and the public.
On the lips, in this critical moment
, If you don’t do something real, don’t say sorry for the country and the nation, you won’t be able to sleep even when you sleep... Sigh! I think about the time when I, An Yi, was living on the streets of Guangzhou looking for work and begging for food.
It hurt so much that I will never forget that feeling!"
An Yi was rarely moved by true emotions, his eyes were slightly moist, and his face looked sad.
Zeng Kuangqing patted An Yi on the shoulder, sighed for a long time and stopped talking. Looking at the people outside the car window, he suddenly understood why An Yi was loved and supported by the people across the country, and why he had such a huge appeal among the people.
Why are An Yi's independent division and even Yin Jinan's 16th division called the model army and Anjia army by the people in the area?
In contrast, none of his colleagues have An Yi's broad mind, let alone his ability to make money. An Yi's deep feelings for the country and the nation are not just words, but words and deeds.
We spent tens of millions of our property to selflessly assist the victims, and used
His influence called on all walks of life across the country to generously help and achieved great results. This extremely true and deep love for his motherland and nation made Zeng Kuan feel extremely respectful and deeply determined to be honest and kind in his heart.
