Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2477 Wei Baoqing-Captain Wei!
Seven men in black came aggressively. One of them was a middle-aged man with a big middle-parted hair and a bumpy face. When he saw Duanwu, he asked, "Are you from Phoenix City? What are you doing in our Shibalipu?"

As he said this, the middle-aged man looked at Captain Wang again.

Chief Wang said with a smile: "This is the captain of the security team of Shibalipu - Wei Baoqing. He is responsible for all the security issues in Shibalipu."

"Captain of the security team, shouldn't those be your men?"

Duanwu asked Wang Baochang with a smile, but Wang Baochang just laughed, obviously there was a secret that was not known to outsiders.

At this time, Wei Baoqing said impatiently: "I'm asking you a question, do you want to be shot?"

Duanwu looked at Wei Baoqing again and said, "I'm not from Phoenix City. I came to Shibalipu to do business. If Captain Wei is interested, can we chat?"

As he said this, Duanwu gave Wei Baoqing a smile.

Wei Baoqing rolled his eyes, looked around, and asked, "What business?"

Duanwu smiled and looked at the person behind Wei Baoqing. Wei Baoqing understood and winked at Duanwu, and then the two walked aside.

Wei Baoqing gestured, "Tell me, let me see what the business is."

Duanwu lowered his voice and said, "The Japanese have very strict control over fireworks and firecrackers. I have sales channels, but no supply."

“This is a matter of losing your head.”

Wei Baoqing was about to get angry, but at this moment, Duanwu took out twenty dollars from his pocket and said with a smile: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, Captain Wei, in this time of war, nothing is more real than money."

As he said that, Duanwu put the dollar into Wei Baoqing's hand.

Wei Baoqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you really selling fireworks?"

Duanwu said: "Of course, otherwise what's the point of me buying fireworks? Can fireworks kill people?"

Wei Baoqing murmured, "Yes, although these fireworks have some lethality, it is impossible to kill people. The imperial army is too cautious."

At this point, Wei Baoqing asked, "How much do you want to buy?"

Duanwu said: "Of course the more the better. In the town in the east, a wealthy family wanted to celebrate his birthday and spent a lot of money on a small yellow croaker. He wanted 100,000 firecrackers and ten sets of various fireworks. Can you calculate how much this cost?
Besides, there are so many wealthy people in the city. They have no way to buy fireworks and firecrackers. This is a great opportunity to make a fortune!"

Wei Baoqing thought for a moment and asked, "How did you transport so many fireworks to the city?"

Duan Wu sneered, "In this day and age, money makes the world go round. How many people are as honest as Captain Wei?"

At this point, Duanwu lowered his voice again and asked, "Captain Wei is in a high position and has great power. He must have someone among the Japanese, right? If you have someone with great power, why don't you use him now? When will you use him?"

Wei Baoqing was so angry that he looked at the big money in his hand again, then threw his big money and said, "Come on, I'll take you to Lao Shi's house."

"Hey!"

Duanwu pretended to be obedient and followed Wei Baoqing.

However, at this moment, Wei Baoqing suddenly turned around and said to Wang Baozhang as he passed by him: "Old Wang, please don't talk nonsense. You know what my status is in front of the imperial army."

"Yes Yes!"

Captain Wang nodded quickly in response. It was obvious that although he was the captain, his status in Shibalipu was not as high as Wei Baoqing.

Duanwu didn't know the reason, but he took out two dollars from his pocket, slapped them on Wang Baochang's hand through the fence and said, "Anyone who sees it gets a share. If this deal is done, I will have to trouble you in the future." Wang Baochang looked at the money in his hand, then looked at the look Wei Baoqing gave him when he turned back, and put the money away with a smile, but said nothing.

On the contrary, at this moment, Wei Baoqing complained to Duanwu: "Why did you give him money? With my instructions, he dare not even fart."

Duanwu smacked his lips and said, "I don't have the ability of Captain Wei. If someone who has even a little connection with the Japanese wants to kill someone like me, it wouldn't be a matter of a word, right?"

As he spoke, Duanwu still looked very materialistic.

Wei Baoqing smiled proudly, because what Duanwu said was right, people like him, whoever he wants to die will die!
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the northernmost side of the village, where there was a large courtyard.

Although the houses inside are made of adobe and thatch, the yard is very large and there are two places similar to work sheds.

But there was no one in the yard, and Wei Baoqing pushed the door open and walked in, shouting, "Old Stone, Old Stone?"

When we reached the center of the yard, an old man with a slightly hunchback walked out of the main house.

When he saw Wei Baoqing, he smiled and said, "It's Captain Wei. I wonder what you want to talk to the old man about? Does the Imperial Army need fireworks again?"

Apparently, the Japanese had asked Lao Shitou for fireworks before. Otherwise, given their strict control over explosives, how could they allow a gunpowder workshop to be built outside the city?
Wei Baoqing rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile, "Yes, the imperial army needs fireworks again. And lots of them."

After saying that, Wei Baoqing winked at Duanwu.

Duanwu immediately understood and said, "Yes, the imperial army sent me to buy fireworks."

Wei Baoqing was very pleased with my cleverness. Then he asked, "Old Stone, how many fireworks do you have now?"

Old Stone smiled and said, "There is a warehouse, but it is under strict control now, so it is difficult to sell it."

Wei Baoqing snorted coldly and said, "You are smart, old man. Now, except for the imperial army, you can't sell these fireworks and firecrackers, do you know?"

At this point, Wei Baoqing rushed to Duanwu who was standing beside him and lowered his voice and said, "You saw it, kid. I negotiated a high price for you. You can give it to this old guy later. Without me, he can't even sell a firecracker wick."

As he spoke, Wei Baoqing raised his eyebrows at Duanwu.

Duanwu smiled flatteringly and said, "Of course, after the fireworks are sold, we will split the profits 50-50."

Wei Baoqing narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression gradually turned cold.

Duanwu quickly added: "My Lord, you are sharing the pure profits. I still have to take care of things in the city and hire people to move the goods. You can calculate, I don't have much left."

"Oh~~~"

Wei Baoqing looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Originally, Wei Baoqing was a little bit skeptical of Duanwu and wondered whether he should find someone to follow him, but now it seems that the boy in front of him is very smart.

What's more, trust the people you employ and don't employ them if you don't trust them. As long as I stay here at this old stone, the other party won't be able to get around me.

So Wei Baoqing smiled proudly and said, "You are smart, kid. Let's go to Lao Shitou's warehouse and take a look. I will help you bargain!"

"I can't ask for it!"

Duanwu pretended to be flattering and bowed repeatedly!
