After lunch, Jiang Yi returned to the hotel with a small box of gold bars.
As soon as he returned to his room, Jiang Yi found Yang Dingwen." Uncle Yang, I know that you used to be an officer, so you must have many good friends in the army. So I want to ask you to send a telegram to help me contact some friends who are interested in coming to my place to develop.”
Yang Dingwen nodded.
Today, he saw that Jiang Yi had bought so many firearms. He definitely wanted to play big, so he naturally needed a large number of officers.
Seeing Yang Dingwen agree, Jiang Yi said,""Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Yang."
Soon, the three of them went out. Jiang Yi brought Jiang Hu to the foreign firm, while Yang Dingwen went to the telegram office alone.
In the manager's office of the foreign firm, Jiang Yi handed over a gold bar.
"Mr. John, I've paid the money. Can you help me transport the weapons tonight?”
John kissed the gold bar twice with a smile and said,""Of course, my dear Jiang. I will personally supervise the shipment of firearms to you tonight.”
Then, the two of them chatted for a while.
Suddenly, John seemed to have thought of something and slapped his head.
"Dear Jiang, since your team is so big, why don't you buy some military trucks?”
"Military truck?"
Jiang Yi began to ponder.
Looking at Jiang Yi who was deep in thought, John knew that there was a way, so he struck while the iron was hot.
"Dear Jiang, I have a batch of military trucks in my warehouse in Hong Kong. As long as you ask, I'll send them to you at an affordable price.”
At this time, England had just experienced World War I, and a large number of military trucks had been produced. But now that the war was over, the surplus trucks were piled up in the warehouse.
When the shrewd John heard the news, he immediately contacted his friends in England and got a lot of trucks and motorcycles to sell to the warlords.
He hoped to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that the warlords he met weren't interested in trucks. They were only interested in guns, so he hadn't sold a single truck.
Jiang Yiyi wasn't the first person he had promoted to, but the first few people didn't buy it.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yi raised his head and said to John,"I do need a batch of trucks. I'll have to trouble you, my friend.”
"It's no trouble, no trouble. Since you want it, I'll definitely help you settle it.”
John was delighted.
"However, I need you to help me solve the problem of the driver.”Jiang Yi said.
Nowadays, trucks were a rarity. Many people had never even seen one, let alone drive one.
"Don't worry, I'll help you resolve this matter!”John agreed immediately.
As the two of them boasted about their business, it was soon evening.
Jiang Yi and the others came to the warehouse that they went to during the day with John.
At this moment, all the weapons had been loaded onto the large trucks. There were several trucks loaded, and the drivers were all in place, ready to set off.
John and Jiang Yi sat in the same car and called the driver to set off.
The truck left the warehouse and made a few turns before finally passing through the city gate and driving out of the city.
They didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. Even when they passed the sentry post at the city gate, no one questioned them.
As an Englishman, John had been rooted in Greentown for many years. The city guards had long been bribed by him, so they naturally did not dare to stop him.
After a night of driving, they finally arrived at Chongwen Town before dawn.
Jiang Yi immediately found his old butler.
"Uncle Tian, immediately arrange for someone to come over and unload the goods. Remember, be careful.”
Yi Tian immediately went to wake up all the servants of the Jiang Family and called them to help arrange the goods. During the time when Jiang Yi was not around, he had already recruited a large number of servants.
After about two incense sticks worth of time, everything had been stored.
John happily took the gold and went back.
In the Jiang family's mansion.
Jiang Yi had just finished arranging the recruitment. He planned to let Jiang Hu and Yang Dingwen go recruit people at dawn to form a security team. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Now that he had money and guns, he naturally did not want to delay it.
At this moment, Yi Tian also came over.
"Young Master, when you weren't around, the township government sent a message saying that the mayor's election is tomorrow. They asked you to attend the meeting and vote.”
When Jiang Yi heard this, he sneered and said,"Why are you still voting? Didn't you say that it's already decided internally and that it's that incompetent Scholar Tan?”
Yi Tian laughed helplessly.
"Even so, do we still have to go through the process?
In the end, Jiang Yi still said that he would go every day. What he said just now was just words of anger. Tomorrow's township office meeting was the first step of his plan. How could he not go? He planned to send a big gift to Master Tan tomorrow.
When it was afternoon, Jiang Yi woke up from his bed.
He had been running around for the whole night without a good rest, which exhausted him.
After waking up, Jiang Yi went out again with a big bag in his hand. He was heading towards the Bai family in Chongwen Town.
Old Master Bai of the Bai family was the most prestigious person in Chongwen Town. He was also the former mayor and Jiang Yi's teacher when he was studying.
And Jiang Yi wanted to ask for a favor from the Old Great Grandfather.
The moment Old Master Bai saw Jiang Yi, he said,""Little Yi, why are you looking for me?”
"Teacher, can't I come to you for nothing?”
Jiang Yi laughed.
Old Master Bai laughed." Little Yi, do you think I don't know you? You have always been someone who would not come to me for no reason. Tell me, what do you need my help with?”
Jiang Yi smiled and rubbed his head.
"As expected, I can't hide it from Teacher. Indeed, I have something to ask of you.”
"What is it?" Old Master Bai asked.
"There's one small matter. I hope that the Old Master can come out and say something fair during tomorrow's election.”
The corners of Jiang Yi's mouth curled into a smile.
"Say something fair?"
Old Master Bai did not understand what Jiang Yi meant.
"If there is an accident in the election, I hope that Teacher can postpone the election for a few days!”
At this moment, Old Master Bai suddenly realized that he also wanted to be the mayor.
"Tan Fa has basically been internally decided. It's useless for you to come out and choose. Little Yi, it's best if you don't offend all the squires. Moreover, I don't think I can postpone the election with just a word.”
After guessing Jiang Yi's thoughts, he planned to dissuade Jiang Yi.
"Old Master, don't worry. There will definitely be an accident in tomorrow's election.”Jiang Yi said as he opened the package in his hand." As long as you stand up and speak, these oceans are all yours."”
When the parcel was opened, there were at least a thousand yuan inside. Grandpa Bai's eyes were wide open. Although he was old, he still loved money.
Therefore, he nodded and said," If there is really an accident tomorrow, I will definitely stand up for you. However, Xiao Yi, will there really be an accident?”
"There must be, because I said so!”
Jiang Yi was full of confidence.
