Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 301: Falling Dragon
A lot happened in 1933, both inside and outside the circle.

For the alien community, there were only a few things that happened.

One thing is that Liu Wei, the young master of Jianghu Xiaozhan, brought a group of his men to separate from his father, and took these people to join the Sitong Freight Company where Wang Yi in Beijing worked.

Although people in the circle don't understand the reason, given Wang Yi's own fame and strength, they understand it as a collaboration between two young people who want to make a big career in this chaotic world. There is nothing to say.

Another thing is that Wang Yijiang went out of the pass to cooperate with the Fengtian Army to fight against the Japanese invaders, and published the numerous atrocities committed by him against the people outside the pass and his fellows in the circle in a newspaper. However, it could not be circulated and issued in the market because the Kuomintang government covered it up.

But in order to cooperate with Liu Wei's operation, it was also sent to various families and factions across the country to give them a reminder.

The second is Wang Yideng Longhu Mountain.

After a talk with Old Tianshi Zhang, Old Tianshi Zhang began to let Zhang Huaiyi, who was in charge of the external affairs of the Tianshi Mansion, and a group of fellow disciples go down the mountain frequently to all parts of the country and invite representatives from various schools to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain for a chat.

This back and forth trip took a whole year.

But it was precisely this kind of running around that made the various schools and factions within the Great Wall and across the country, through the independent people of each school and faction, know one thing.

In order to cope with the possible recurrence of war and chaos, the Tianshi Mansion intends to hold a Luotian Grand Ceremony in the next few years, and all schools and factions support it.

This is enough, at least to let these wanderers who are always on the move and roaming around in the streets know about it.

The world is not peaceful right now with the National Government in power, and the flames of war outside the Great Wall could spread to the interior at any time, otherwise the Tianshi Mansion would not have informed various schools and factions in advance and sent out the signal that it would hold the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

This signal was also verified with the Tanggu Agreement at the end of May of that year.

There is only one good thing about the circle of extraordinary people, that is, no matter whether they are from a large family or a small sect, they all have knowledge. Otherwise, they would not be able to practice and would not understand the means of their own practice.

Therefore, when this agreement was signed and announced to the public, these scattered and small tribes realized how weak the current government in power was.

Not only could the three provinces outside the Great Wall not be recovered, but the army was not allowed to garrison along the Great Wall and offer spontaneous resistance. It had to withdraw from the south of the Great Wall. How was the content of this agreement different from the humiliating and unequal treaties of the Qing Dynasty?

They are people of the underworld, and they cannot figure out why the government is losing power and humiliating the country like the Qing Dynasty did. Since they cannot figure out the government's plans, they have no choice but to survive for the future in this underworld.

For a time, the presence of these small and independent sects increased in the relatively peaceful martial arts world within the Great Wall.

Some of them began to look for good talents in the underworld, recruit disciples, and share their skills, not for anything else, but just so that if the war spread from outside the Great Wall to inside the Great Wall in the future, these people in the underworld could stick together for warmth and contribute to the country.

Some people choose the strategy of not being able to provoke me but not being able to hide from me.

Since there will inevitably be a war between China and Japan, and the battlefield is the land beneath our feet, why not take root in a place where the war can't reach?

With all the skills we have, how can we not make a living in the East Asian Chinese cultural circle?

So they set their sights on Southeast Asia and the British-occupied Hong Kong Island. While trying their own means to see if they could make more money, they were also looking for a place to settle outside their home country.

As long as the situation is not right and the war breaks out, they will run away without any hesitation.

They do not have the deep-rooted idea of ​​the aristocratic families that people are looked down upon if they leave their hometown. They are all small clans and scattered people, and if one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry.

There's nothing to worry about when running.

That’s all the goings-on in the circle. Both the big families and the small clans all had their own plans and actions following this agreement.

As for people outside the circle, although the "Tangku Agreement" aroused public opinion from all walks of life, voices criticizing the National Government continued one after another.

But none of them caused any big waves, and the national government did not give up and continued to do as it pleased.

This is still the relatively developed area in the heart of the Central Plains, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, and it stays in cities and provincial capitals.

For most groups in towns, the northwest, and the mountains, they have no idea what national events are happening and can only live their precarious lives.

As for Wang Yi, after seeing Master Zhang coming down the mountain from Mount Longhu, he returned to the capital and no longer paid attention to the affairs in the circle.

Wang Yi didn't have much emotion about the signing of this agreement.

He had a lot to do, and there were still about five years left before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance.

From the second half of this year until the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was a difficult period for them.

Although he knows that this period of time is inevitable, if possible, Wang Yi also wants to help Mr. and others preserve more fire as much as possible, so that Mr. will not have to go alone in the future.

It was naturally not feasible to inform Zhang Zhiwei directly of everything. The only thing Wang Yi could do was to expand his Soitong Company from the Beijing-Tianjin area to the whole country during these few years of peace before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance.

In the era when the Kuomintang government was in power during the Republic of China, if an enterprise wanted to grow bigger and stronger, it had to consider one thing: how strong the backing behind it was.

At present, Wang Yi's Sitong Company has two backers. One is the young marshal who lost his base in the three provinces outside the Great Wall and fought with the Japanese Kwantung Army outside the Great Wall for a year with nearly 100,000 troops and was driven into the Great Wall.

The other one was sold by Wang Yiban, but now there is a Republic of China branch of the Continental Hotel and a Republic of China branch of the Continental Group in the Shanghai Concession.

One provides military protection to Wang Yi's Sitong Company, and the other provides political protection to Sitong Company.

But the biggest problem now is that the young marshal, who has lost his base in the three provinces outside the Great Wall, can only rely on others even though he has a large army. He no longer has the composure he had before in the three provinces outside the Great Wall.

He had to learn the ways of the world that his father had always taught him, so that he could secure a place for the soldiers under his command in the government, and support them, holding his breath, hoping that one day he would be able to fight back and recover the lost territory.

When Wang Yi saw the young marshal mentioned in history books again this year, he felt that he was a little different.

While feeling that he, the butterfly, has influenced some changes to some extent, Wang Yi, who is closely related to the Fengtian Army represented by the Young Marshal, naturally has to do something with the Young Marshal's platform.

After all, they had hundreds of thousands of heavy troops who had fought bloody battles with the Kwantung Army. Even if they had lost their base, they could only rely on the National Government for supplies.

But the bald man did not dare to be too harsh on them in this regard, because he knew very well that the other party now held the golden medal of immunity from death after a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders. If he was really negligent in any way, the other party would make a fuss and he would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, the other party was sensible, but the bald man couldn't guarantee that the other party would always be so sensible.

At this time, as the only designated distributor in China for the new American consortium Continental Group, the Soitong Company with Fengtian Army background became the best middleman.

During this year, with the addition of Liu Wei and his new forces, Wang Yi and Liu Wei only did one thing.

The two men, one in the north and one in the south, started to discuss business by using the two tiger skins of Fengtian Army and Continental Group.

In the north, Liu Wei used Boss Zhao as a springboard to get in touch with the local tyrant behind him who was entrenched in the Jin area.

In the south, Wang Yi, accompanied by the young marshal, first went to Shanghai, and went to Nanjing with several young people from the Republic of China branch of the Continental Hotel in the concession, as well as the ambassador of the embassy in the concession, to establish contact with senior officials of the National Government there.

Through equity participation and dividend distribution, the young marshal will act as a guarantor.

He brought the high-ranking government officials headed by the bald man into his own company, Soitong, to weave a huge protection network for himself to do things and save people in the future.

In this, Wang Yi and Liu Wei acted as middlemen.

These high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang government wanted the good things from industrial countries, so they made a request and notified the Continental Hotel branches and Continental Group subsidiaries in China to have the goods shipped from the United States and delivered to them almost free of charge.

As for what they want to do with these good things, we will not ask you. Whatever you earn is yours.

When the products produced by Continental are sent to the Republic of China and distributed to various places, please also give them convenience. Don't worry about where these things are sold or to whom, just turn a blind eye and make a profit, and you will have a share.

This guarantee from you is what we want.

As for any obstacles we may encounter on the distribution road, you don't need to worry about us. We will find a way to solve them ourselves.

The tactful remarks were made by Wang Yi and the young commander, while the inappropriate remarks were naturally made by the representative of the Continental Group in the Republic of China.

The combination of soft and hard tactics, as well as the young marshal's tactful approach, also made the top leaders of the national government approve of this cooperation.

The only thing that made Wang Yi feel regretful was that he still hadn't met Baldy, the eternal sinner. Perhaps in his eyes, he and Liu Wei were just spokespeople.

They were not worthy of being received in person by him, and this big business was not brought by them, but was given to him by his sensible brother and the Americans.

As for whether there is any profit in this.

Hey, with the help of the prophet, Wang Yi made a fortune from the half-sold Continental Group during the financial crisis.

Those expanded staff and acquired companies almost covered the entire industrial system.

Moreover, the overall environment is not good. As long as Continental Group can do a little bit of work to provide its employees with a source of livelihood, the products produced by the assembly lines of industrial countries will be incredibly cheap.

The dumping of these products across thousands of miles into the Republic of China, an agricultural country with a population of 450 million, was an absolute dimensionality reduction attack.

Not to mention these guys in the Kuomintang government. As soon as the goods arrive in the Republic of China, they will immediately put a small portion of them into the market, and then throw most of them into the black market, making a profit back and forth.

They would never consider the life and death of the national enterprises that are just beginning to show signs of improvement in this finally stable environment.

Living in this era, Wang Yicai can see more clearly how great the impact of the golden decade boasted by those Apple fans and fans of the Republic of China was.

There is no heavy industry, and whether the light industry can rise depends on whether they give enough money to these government masters and whether they have their own backers.

Without support, it will go bankrupt at any time.

Wang Yi had no way to stop the Kuomintang government from doing this, and could only talk to those national entrepreneurs who were affected and wanted to revitalize the national economy.

Try to persuade them as much as possible to bring the products of those affected companies into the transportation system of our own company, Sitong.

They will not be treated unfairly in terms of profit sharing. All they have to do is to put the Sitong company logo on the products they produce.

This practice is no different from a monopoly.

But if Wang Yi did not do this, many of these national enterprises that had finally made some progress in this golden decade would not survive until the day when their new home was established.

Moreover, if he didn't take this step, he wouldn't be able to know which of the many businessmen and entrepreneurs were kind-hearted and which were evil-hearted.

Try to preserve the red-hearted ones as much as possible, and write down the black-hearted ones one by one in a small notebook.

Let them enjoy themselves today so that we can uproot them one by one in the future, to prevent them from causing trouble when our new home is just beginning to become poor.

After a year of hard work by Wang Yi and Liu Wei, one in the north and the other in the south, the Sitong Freight Company, which was originally only famous in Beijing and Tianjin, gradually expanded to the north and south of the country.

And so, in the middle of the 22nd year of the Republic of China.

The capital city has been downgraded and is no longer the capital of the country.

As the representative of Boss Zhao, the commander of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army entrenched in northwest Shanxi, Zhao Fangzheng, the representative of the Continental Group's branch in China, the representative of the Fengtian Army, the representative of the bald man, plus Wang Yi and Liu Wei, the chief and deputy chief.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was also held here.

Sitong Freight Company was also renamed Sitong National Logistics Company.

"Boss Wang, Shopkeeper Liu, congratulations. Not only are you two very smart, but your business methods are also eye-opening for me. My Zhao family has been doing business for generations, but none of them can match your efforts over the past year."

After the ceremony, the top management had their own banquet, while agents like Wang Yi, Liu Wei and Boss Zhao, who were middlemen, could only find a place to drink by themselves.

"Boss Zhao, you are too polite. I am just lucky. When I first came to Beijing, I got a chance to ride on the old coach's big tree. I flew for a while on the wind. Whether I can land safely in the future, I still need the advice of seniors like you, Boss Zhao."

"Why are you two being so polite? I, Zhao, have been traveling around the country for many years and have heard of your circles. Manager Liu is a man of great connections and has the nickname of "knowing everything in a short time". Boss Wang is even more promising and young. Even the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain praises you for your promising future and calling you a living immortal.

It is my honor to be your business partner. If I encounter any trouble in the future, I will need your help. Speaking of which, I have an unwelcome request.

"Boss Zhao, please speak."

"My only son has already started a family this year. My father and I are not destined to cultivate as good skills as you two. Even if my only son has a child someday, I hope you two can come to my house and feel the bones of my little grandson whom I have not met yet. If he is destined to cultivate, please teach him in this regard."

"Boss Zhao is worthy of being Boss Zhao. Even though this matter has not been decided yet, Boss Zhao has already paved the way for his children and grandchildren."

Hearing what Boss Zhao said, Liu Wei also started to joke, but Boss Zhao sighed and looked at the high-ranking officials who were toasting each other upstairs.

"The world is in such a mess. The Japanese outside the Great Wall are eyeing us covetously. The country inside the Great Wall is pretending to be peaceful. It seems prosperous, but in fact it is a sign of national destruction. Although I have a fortune, who knows when it will be gone. Money is only a thing outside of the body. I, Zhao, am not afraid. What I am afraid of is that I cannot protect my family and become the victims of others.

Just think of it as me buying insurance. As long as you two agree, I promise that in the northwest area, as long as I, Zhao Fangzheng, can do it, I will not refuse!"

Seeing Zhao Fangzheng's concerned look on his face, Wang Yi asked the question he was most curious about.

"Boss Zhao, I admire your concern for your descendants, but I can't control their cultivation. However, I can still give you a guarantee. Even if your unborn grandson is unable to cultivate, I will use the method of initiation to make him a cultivator. Although he may not be able to cultivate as deeply as we are, he will at least have the ability to protect himself.

By the way, I still don’t know the name of your son, Boss Zhao, and what name you plan to give to your unborn grandson.”

"I feel relieved with your words, Mr. Wang. Although our Zhao family has been engaged in business for generations, we don't have so many red tape and no courtesy names. My son's name is Fangyuan, and there is no such thing as square and circle without rules. As for my unborn grandchild, I have also made up my mind. If it is a boy, I will name him Zhao Fangxu, and if it is a girl, I will name her Zhao Fanghua."

When Wang Yi heard the name Zhao Fangxu, he looked at Boss Zhao and smiled knowingly.

In this relatively peaceful time, the 22nd year of the Republic of China passed and the 23rd year of the Republic of China arrived.

This year can be considered generally stable for the interior of the country.

However, the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign launched by the Kuomintang government was becoming more and more intense, and newspapers about this matter were placed in front of Wang Yi one after another.

In order to achieve the goal in one battle, even the Young Marshal was transferred by the Baldy to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui bandit suppression campaign. It was obvious that the Young Marshal's elite troops were to be consumed in this effort.

Wang Yi was unable to help the young marshal resolve the bald man's conspiracy. He could only use the network he had built up in the National Government over the past year to pass on pieces of intelligence to Liu Wei, asking Liu Wei to send someone to contact Zhang Zhiwei and pass the intelligence to Zhang Zhiwei, hoping to reduce the losses on the master's side.

These are the things that happen outside the circle. Wang Yi can only help Mr. as much as possible in this secret way.

And in the circle, after a peaceful year, in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, something happened that was a big event for the circle of extraordinary people and also a strange and interesting thing for people outside the circle.

In early July of the 23rd year of the Republic of China, in the three provinces outside the Great Wall occupied by the Japanese invaders.

Located in YK City, Liao Province, a dragon descended from the sky, turned rivers and seas upside down, and destroyed several houses.

Before it was published in the newspaper, the whole country knew about it. The news spread from outside the Great Wall to inside the Great Wall, and the entire circle of eccentrics in the Republic of China was restless because of this half-true and half-false news.
