That night, at the welcoming banquet.
"Slow down, slow down! Leave a piece of meat!"
"Don't snatch them. They're all like hungry ghosts reincarnated!”
"What rubbish, boss hasn't eaten yet!”
The plates of red sausages and meat dishes were served. Before they could land, they were snatched clean by their subordinates who had long been green with envy. Then, they wolfed down the food. From the looks of it, people would believe that they had escaped from famine!
If Boss Chen hadn't put a piece of red sausage on Xu Zhongyi's plate in advance, he wouldn't even have had a bite of meat.
Boss Chen smiled embarrassedly,""Brother, I've made a fool of myself! Since the 29th year of the Republic of China, the brothers had not seen any pay. If it was not for the war, everyone would have dispersed!”
"Didn't the headquarters give you the money?" Xu Zhongyi asked, knowing the answer.”
"Put his milk…cough cough!" Chen Ming coughed dryly and complained in a low voice," At first, they said that the Japanese had a tight lockdown and that money couldn't come in. At the end, he directly told us to raise money on the spot. This is not the territory of the military commander. If it weren't for this restaurant, we would have starved to death!”
Xu Zhongyi pretended to sigh and said,""Now that the war has been won, but I think with the headquarters 'character, not only will the salary owed in the past not count, but the salary will also be discounted, right?”
"Aiya, brother, you finally hit the nail on the head!”When Chen Ming mentioned this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth." Just look at those bureaucrats. If they really lend money, after a round and another round, I'll be thankful if they can still get 30% left!"”
Chen Ming's heart ached at the mention of money.
" To make money…I have an idea, but I don't know if you guys dare to do it…" Xu Zhongyi muttered softly and then downed the wine in his hand.
Chen Ming's ears immediately perked up when he heard that. He hurriedly shouted,"Shut your mouths!"
Then, he looked at Xu Zhongyi impatiently and asked,""Brother, do you have any way to get money?”
Money?
Hearing this word, the field workers who were still wolfing down their food instantly widened their eyes and pricked up their ears. They did not dare to make a sound, afraid that they would miss a word.
They…were also crazy poor!
Xu Zhongyi ate the peanuts unhurriedly. After a while, he took a sip of the wine and said," As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. I wonder if everyone has the guts to do so…"
When Chen Ming heard this, he said without thinking,"What else is more difficult than fighting the Japanese? Our brothers have already endured it, so why should we be afraid of the ball? He's so poor!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The field agents nodded like chickens eating rice and looked at Xu Zhongyi with eager eyes.
Seeing that he was almost done laying the foundation, Xu Zhongyi finally revealed his plan like in the original novel."I saw warehouse 581 on the way here. It's the one where the Soviets are stationed. It's full of cotton cloth, which is the most sought-after item on the black market now!”
"Aren't the Soviets about to withdraw? We just need to get our hands on this batch of goods before the army takes over and throw them into the black market.”
Boss Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that, but his expression was a little hesitant." I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate. If the higher-ups blame us…"
"Boss, let the cowards starve to death, and let the brave ones die!" Xu Zhongyi said. What's the big deal? After we get the money, we'll bribe everyone and get benefits. Who won't speak up for us? In this day and age, money could make the world go round!”
"Even if the higher-ups blame us, we still have an excuse. Didn't they ask us to raise funds ourselves back then? If he really wanted to blame someone, he would have to make up for the eight years of war!”
Boss Chen slapped his thigh and said excitedly,""That's right! Since there were no more worries, what was there to be afraid of?”
However, at this moment, the club raised its hand and asked,""But the Soviets aren't fools, right? Would they allow us to take out truck after truck of goods?”
Yes, this was indeed a realistic problem. Everyone could not help but look at Xu Zhongyi.
Xu Zhongyi smiled cunningly and said,""Just because I couldn't do it in the past doesn't mean I can't do it now! These Soviets were about to leave, so they definitely couldn't bring their goods with them. The loss of the goods has nothing to do with the duty of the guards. As long as we make sure that the goods are in place, wouldn't it be easy for the guards to turn a blind eye?”
"Doesn't that bearman like to drink? Let's get more wine! Drink them to your heart's content and let your parents dance with you!”
"Are you sure you won't make a big deal out of it?" A field agent asked worriedly.”
"If you kill him, it'll be a serious diplomatic problem," Xu Zhongyi said confidently. We're just getting them drunk. Is this considered a risk?”
Pa!
Chen Ming slammed the table and said excitedly,"Brother, you're really my savior! It's not my fault for being in a sorry state. We're really crazy poor. We'll listen to you and do something big!”
A group of poor field workers shouted with red eyes,"F * ck! F * ck him!"
When Chen Ming saw that there was still a subordinate secretly showing off his wine, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and scolded,"Idiot, put down the wine glass! How much stock do you have in total? Isn't it a waste to enter your stomach?”
"Boss, last cup."
"Last your ass! If you drink more, the bearman will drink less. I'll have to dig out whatever you drink.”
Chen Ming cursed and put away all the wine on the table. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked,"But if we want to deal with the Soviets, we have to find someone who can speak Russian. But my subordinates can't even understand Chinese.”
Xu Zhongyi sighed." Looks like I'll have to do it myself!" he said.”
"Brother, you know Russian?" Chen Ming was really surprised. He sized Xu Zhongyi up.
Xu Zhongyi smiled shyly and said,"I'm not talented. I've taken four foreign languages in university. Russian is not even worth mentioning!”
Chen Ming cursed again." What do you think those bureaucrats at the headquarters in the mountain city are doing? Isn't it a waste to send such an outstanding talent to the field?!"”
Xu Zhongyi said dejectedly,"Sigh, it's all sad memories. Let's not talk about it!"”
He hinted to Chen Ming once again that he indeed did not have any backing. Otherwise, with his identity as Boss Dai's student and his true talent, how could he have fallen to such a state?
"Brother, don't worry. I'll take care of you in the future!”
Chen Ming did not treat Xu Zhongyi as an outsider. He immediately raised his hand and took out a pair of smelly socks full of patches from the sole of his shoe. He said with tears and snot,
"To tell you the truth, brother, brother is so poor that he can't even afford new socks! Several of these brothers didn't even have underwear! This time, I'm relying on you to make a fortune!"
"Don't worry, Boss. I promise I'll make a fortune!" Xu Zhongyi was in tears.”
Chen Ming held Xu Zhongyi's arm tightly.""Good brother! Don't cry for your brother. We'll earn money together in the future!!”
