Fengxian Jiangshan

() "Zhang, this is a commercial secret. As a businessman, I must abide by professional ethics." Fred then laughed again: "I sold a total of [-] rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition. There are not many people in Fengtian who can afford so many arms, you should be able to guess."

In fact, Zhang Tinglan had already made an estimate in his heart, and now he immediately understood after hearing Fred's words that the one who bought it must be Feng Delin, Zhang Zuolin's old buddy and the commander of the old rival 28th Division.

Zhang Zuolin has worshiped countless godfathers and godmothers in his life. Because he was born in Lulin and was keen to imitate Liu Guanzhang's Taoyuan sworn brothers, he worshiped many Jinlan brothers. The most important one was when he wiped out the Mongolian rebel Tao Ketaohu in 1910. The eight officers who made the most contributions were united in Jinlan.

The eldest is Ma Longtan, the second is Wu Junsheng, the third is Feng Delin, the fourth is Tang Yulin, followed by Zhang Jinghui, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang. This sworn marriage also established the backbone of the Fengtian warlords, Zhang Tinglan said Zhang Zuolin also came according to this ranking for the Seventh Master.

Among the eight sworn brothers, Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin are the two with the strongest strength and the highest official positions. They are both from the Green Forest. Feng Delin's qualifications are older than Zhang Zuolin's.Before this big sworn ceremony, Feng Delin had also sworn vows with Zhang Zuolin and three other people. Feng Delin was the boss, Zhang Zuolin was the youngest.

The two were promoted almost at the same time, and were promoted at the same time. After 27, they were promoted to lieutenant general at the same time. One was in charge of the 28th division and the other was in charge of the [-]th division. Zhang Zuolin was in Fengtian, while Feng Delin only got Beizhen. The strong and weak relationship between brothers has changed.

Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin are the two most qualified to compete for the King of the Northeast. If you compare the two carefully, Zhang Zuolin has an advantage in vision and strategy, and has a better ability to grasp the opportunity. Therefore, he was able to enter the provincial capital of Fengtian first and firmly occupied the hegemony. Taking the lead, Feng Delin could no longer turn things around.

But Lao Feng is not useless, he is more specialized in ordnance, and is better for soldiers. Judging from these, it is logical for Lao Feng to buy weapons.

"Old friend, if you had chosen Division 27 as your partner earlier, maybe our cooperation would be even better!"

Fred shrugged: "Zhang, this is a very risky thing. I naturally hope that the distance from Fengtian is as far as possible. I have always been cautious. It was only after I met you, a little fox, that I started to go crazy. .”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded, she was right, if she hadn't come to this time and space a few months earlier.

"I'm going to arrange the goods now, and the first batch of goods will be ready within ten days." Zhang Tinglan whispered to Fred again: "Old friend, the ammunition production line is very important, I hope you can help me get the bullet production line as soon as possible." , Whether it is to order brand new equipment from the United States, or disassemble second-hand equipment in Russia, it doesn’t matter what the price is, and recruit a few skilled workers to make the 27th Division self-sufficient in ammunition as soon as possible, which is very important!”

Zhang Tinglan repeatedly told him that Fred also understood what arms meant to a warlord, and he nodded solemnly: "Zhang, I will do my best, but no matter which method you use, you must be prepared to spend a lot of money." , it is likely that most of the smuggled proceeds will be used on this."

"I don't hesitate. China and the whole world are on the eve of drastic changes. We must use the fastest speed to strengthen ourselves. Old friend, remember that as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem."

After explaining clearly, Zhang Tinglan left Daosheng Bank. After thinking about it, he realized that there was really no suitable manpower to be in charge of the trade with Russia. His subordinates who knew business best were Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan, but both of them were in Planning the North Market, I can't get away. As for the gang of Qiu Ba of the 27th Division, it's good if they don't make trouble. They don't know business.

After much deliberation, he still went to Liu Shucheng and asked him to recommend someone. Zhang Tinglan went directly to Sihai Food Company.Since cooperating with Zhang Tinglan, the Four Seas Grain Company has ushered in a spring of development, and from time to time it has obtained cheap food from Russia's military supplies.In addition, there are kerosene, matches, cloth, medicine and so on.

Liu Shucheng simply took these small things as gifts, buying ten catties of rice and getting a box of matches, buying twenty catties of white flour and getting half a catty of kerosene, and his business was booming.And the old enemy, Sanhe Liangxing, has been finished since Zhang Youliang was arrested.

Those Japanese ronin turned into North Koreans were tried for the crime of seriously disturbing the public order, while Zhang Youliang was determined to be the mastermind behind the scenes, and he hired thugs to attack Sihai Food Company. Ri himself also knew that Zhang Youliang was completely useless, so he simply put all the charges on him, and Zhang Youliang was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

He is also considered a smart man. He took out all his family property and atoned for his crimes, but he ended up in a situation of bankruptcy. When Zhang Youliang left Fengtian in desolation, all the businessmen were a little bit awake. The end of Japan's cooperation, not only did not get any benefits, but also spent most of their life savings in it, which has become a living example.

Sihai Grain Bank also acquired Sanhe Grain Bank and turned it into a semicolon, doubling its business scale in an instant, almost monopolizing the surrounding grain market.However, Liu Shucheng has always been adhering to the philosophy of Confucian businessmen, making small profits but quick turnover, especially with the support of Zhang Tinglan, the grain purchase is also very smooth.

Although the black land in the Northeast can only grow grain for one season, the output will definitely exceed that of the customs. In addition, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of grain. The cost is too much.

Now that there are soldiers from the 27th Division escorting them, who would dare to touch this bad luck, and Zhang Tinglan also came forward to organize hundreds of large carriages. In the era without motorized vehicles, this is the most convenient means of transportation.With economies of scale, the transport capacity is astonishing. These horse convoys are not only responsible for purchasing grain from the countryside, but also transporting it within Fengtian City.

As long as a certain amount of grain is purchased, it will be delivered to the designated place by a special horse-drawn carriage for free. It has become a landscape of Fengtian.

These carriages were originally used for the internal transportation of the 27th Division. Zhang Tinglan discovered that the 27th Division had these good things when he was transporting Russian goods. He immediately asked Zhang Zuolin for them. This proves that this worry is completely unnecessary.

There is no major military mobilization, and the horse convoy is not used much. It is only responsible for the daily transportation of vegetables and grains, and there is a lot of free time.After being organized by Zhang Tinglan, the potential of transportation has been fully utilized. They can not only provide convenience for business, but also earn a lot of money.

With this money, the income of the coachman has been greatly improved first, and there is enough money to give better fodder to the animals. The horses in the transport team are all fat and strong. The teacher turns over a portion of the profits.

In addition, as the reputation became more and more famous, many retail coachmen would also join in. In this way, the number of carriages actually controlled by the 27th Division increased greatly, and when it came time to fight, more transportation forces could be mobilized.

Zhang Zuolin sees everything in his eyes. A casual innovation greatly reduces the burden of raising horses and increases the transportation force. All parties can benefit from it. Lao Zhang is more and more capable of Zhang Tinglan. I'm sure, as long as I practice for a few more years, Zhang Tinglan will definitely become my right-hand man. It is precisely because I saw Zhang Tinglan's potential that Lao Zhang frequently made Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tinglan get closer.

Zhang Xueliang also admired Zhang Tinglan's ability to turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain. He went to find Zhang Tinglan today, but unexpectedly, Zhang Tinglan had already gone to Fred.Zhang Xueliang simply went to the Four Seas Food Company, and he also knew that Zhang Tinglan basically talked with Liu Shucheng, Qiao Ruixuan and others here these days. Zhang Tinglan from the wind came in from the outside, Zhang Xueliang immediately got up, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Tinglan, I guessed that you would come here, so I came here to wait for you, look at your demeanor, ready It's something good."

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "That's right, with the expanded cooperation with that old Jewish man, the scale of trade will be greatly expanded."

A gleam of joy suddenly appeared in Zhang Xueliang's eyes. He took Zhang Tinglan's arm and said in a low voice: "Brother Tinglan, you see that I have been your servant for so long, can you arrange some work for me?"

"Hanqing, aren't you still studying? Why are you thinking about doing things?"

"What's the point of studying? If my father didn't force me, I wouldn't want to. Besides, I'm about to graduate from middle school, so I can't just sit around and do nothing."

Zhang Tinglan crossed his legs and looked at the salivating Zhang Xueliang. He took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said with a smile, "Hanqing, how about I give you a company to play with?"

Zhang Xueliang immediately became happy, and he asked tentatively: "How big is the scale, how many people are there, how is it compared with Sihai Foods?"

Zhang Tinglan stretched out his index finger and shook it: "So far you are the only official employee."

When Zhang Xueliang heard this, he seemed to have stepped on the ground and dodged his waist, so what else is he playing with his brother alone.

"Brother Ting Lang, aren't you playing with me?"

"Hanqing, don't worry. Although there are not many people in the company at present, this company is mainly responsible for the trade with Russia, and the profits are amazing. I am afraid that ten four sea food companies are not rivals. But you have to promise me one condition, that is, look more and talk less , there are a lot of secrets involved in it, if you leak the news, I don’t need to deal with you, the seventh uncle will make your ass bloom."

Zhang Xueliang kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He had already been knocked out by ten times the profit, so he didn't have any other thoughts.

"Brother Tinglan, do you think it is possible to arrange for someone to join Feng Yong?"

Feng Yong?Zhang Tinglan's mind flashed, this Feng Yong is Feng Delin's eldest son, and Zhang Xueliang is still a family friend, Zhang Tinglan asked calmly: "Feng Yong is going to Fengtian?"

"Well, tomorrow he will go to Fengtian with Uncle Ji Jinchun, I'm his elder brother, how can I give him a greeting gift!"

At this time, Zhang Tinglan was secretly thinking, what is the real purpose of Ji Jinchun and Feng Yong for coming to Fengtian at this time?
