"General Zhang Qianchen sacrificed ......"

"I heard it on the radio in the morning." Old Fan nodded a little indifferently.

"I can't imagine that the battle situation will be so tragic, even a high-ranking general like General Zhang has been sacrificed, can you imagine how big our sacrifice will be?"

"Yes, but at this time, there are still some people in the Kuomintang who are worried about friction with us, and they are really shameless bastards."

"What's wrong?"

"Two days ago, Li Pinxian's troops were ......," Lao Fan said indignantly.

"What about the casualties of the Jiangbei Column of the New Fourth Army?"

"More than a dozen were sacrificed, if it wasn't for the opportunity to launch a counterattack immediately, otherwise, this grain transportation team would have to be wiped out."

"Lack of food for the troops?"

"Well, this is not the summer harvest season is coming, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, the Japanese army is looting hard, and our batch of grain is finally getting it from other places."

"What about selling grain on the spot?"

"The price of grain in northern Jiangsu is soaring now, and grain is at a price a day, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy grain." Lao Fan said, "Didn't you pay attention? ”

"I've been focusing all my energy on the establishment of this Laozi Political Police Department these days, and I've not taken care of many things." Chen Miao said.

"You are not omnipotent, this food problem, it is up to them to figure it out." Old Fan said.

"So, this batch of grain we got is in the hands of Han Deqin?"

"Well, they are deliberately provoking this time, we can only send people to negotiate with them now, if we send troops to grab food, then we will fall into the trap of the other party, when the time comes, we will be reasonable, hey......" Lao Fan sighed, this matter is really tricky, the army is now in the expansion stage, the original food is not enough to eat, and now it is even more insufficient, so many mouths are waiting to be fed, without food, the army's heart is unstable, how can this battle be fought?

"Where are the main forces of the army now?" Chen Miao asked.

"I don't know about this......" Lao Fan really didn't know.

"That's going to be difficult, but you should know the approximate range of activities, right?" Chen Miao asked.

"Hmm." Old Fan nodded.

"With the Huainan Railway as the middle line, there are two base areas in the east and west of the road, and at present, there are currently two detachments of our New Fourth Army in Jiangbei, as well as several independent regiments and guerrillas adapted from the civilian anti-Japanese armed forces, and I don't know the specific strength of the troops, but there should be ...... thousands of people," Lao Fan said.

"I see, I'll let you know as soon as there's any news." Chen Miao silently wrote it down in her heart, and then said.

"What are you going to do?"

"I didn't tell you that the Japanese can use the way of fighting to feed the war, and we can too, but we are not robbing our own people, we are robbing the puppet army and the supply troops of the Japanese army." Chen Miao smiled.

"You're only from No. 76, how do you get this information?" Old Fan asked suspiciously.

"I'll just figure it out, and you'll leave it alone." Chen Miao said with a wave of his hand.

"Do what you can."

"I know, it's not going to be hard, don't you know me? I won't put myself in danger. Chen Miao knew that Lao Fan was caring about him, and people couldn't help but know what was wrong, "After the meeting today, Lin Shiqun left me behind and told me one thing, which may have verified your previous guess." “

"Oh?" Lao Fan was shocked, "What guess?" ”

"Lan Yuhai cooperated with the Japanese puppet, but he was coerced." Chen Miao said.

"Do you know why?"

"In addition to Lan Yuhai's wife and daughter in the United States, he also gave birth to a son with a Japanese woman, this Japanese woman is called Haruko, and the son he gave birth to is called Lan Dong, and the mother and son will come to Shanghai tomorrow."

"No wonder."

"There are very few people who should know about such a secret thing, and this woman and Lan Yuhai must have been separated for a long time, and the relationship between them should be very short, it is estimated that when they are separated, Professor Lan may not know that the other party is pregnant with his own child." Chen Miao analyzed the way of speculation.

"Makes sense."

"Lin Shiqun asked me to pick up the mother and son at Wusongkou Pier tomorrow to reunite with Professor Lan, I think this is a condition for the Japanese and Wang to coerce him to work for me." Chen Miao said, "But this is just my guess, I still need to find out the specific situation." ”

"Professor Lan is an expert in intaglio engraving and engraving, and he is a famous seal carving master, such people are also what we need, if they are really coerced and have to work for them, then we have to find a way to rescue them." Lao Fan said.

"It depends on Professor Lan's own attitude."

"Well, let's find out Professor Lan's own attitude first." Lao Fan said, "I will report this matter to my hometown, what are you going to do over there?" ”

"Report it as you want, as you do, the same." Chen Miao said, "As for what to do in the end, I have to decide by myself." ”

"Boss Dai has a student like you, that's really his misfortune." Old Fan teased.

"I didn't mean to disobey him the first day." Chen Miao smiled, "As long as I don't touch his bottom line, it's fine." ”

……

"Third brother, the kitten is talking, Miss Xiao San asked the poisonous snake to meet tomorrow, and asked, is he going or not?" Back home, Xiao Qi came upstairs and asked.

"What's wrong with Tang Keming?" Chen Miao asked.

"Didn't find it." Xiao Qi shook his head.

"Arrange for the shepherd to be responsible for monitoring and protection, and if you find something wrong with Miss Xiao San, kill it immediately!" Chen Miao ordered, "Tell the Viper that you can implement that plan." ”

"Understood."

"Tell the poisonous snake, since you have Du Wanxin, don't be half-hearted, who doesn't have a first love, Xiao Ying is not his good match, Du Wanxin is." Chen Miao added another sentence.

"Okay."

……

Back in the bedroom, Liang Xueqin was back to the bed, the sheets were all drawings, Chen Miao walked over and pulled up the corner of the quilt and sat down: "The design plan of the snow stage is out?" ”

"Well, both options are good, and I don't know what to do now." Liang Xueqin looked at the architectural design paper drawings scattered on the quilt and sighed.

"Which two options?"

"One is Mr. Fan Wenzhao's design plan, the other is the plan of Mr. Zhao Shen and Chen Zhi of Huagai Architectural Design Office to unite the world, I like both plans, one focuses on modern style, and the other is a combination of Chinese and Western methods, Western-style main structure, Chinese-style palace-style roof, cleverly combined, you see." Liang Xueqin took out the design sketch of the canopy architectural design office and showed it to Chen Miao.

"I don't know anything about architectural design, which one do you think is good, just use it?" Chen Miao said.

"Mr. Fan's interior design is simple and clear, especially the effects of sound, light and warmth, while Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen are relatively lacking in terms of interior design." Liang Xueqin said, "But the appearance designed by Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen is more in line with the aesthetics of our Chinese people......"

"Do you like both?"

"Hmm." Liang Xueqin nodded.

"In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to use Mr. Fan's plan for the Snow Stage and listen to the design of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen for the Snow Building?" Chen Miao came up with an idea.

"In this case, if the two are together, the style is too weird and incongruous?"

"Then separate."

"But the place is so big, if it were separated, according to the current design, the distance between the buildings would be tight......"

"Are there any houses and land nearby that can be acquired?"

"But there is a piece, that is, people may not be willing to sell to us, and in this way, the cost may increase by more than 30 percent." Liang Xueqin estimated it in her heart.

"Looking for a bank loan, at the current rate of phone expansion, the money we borrow now, when it is repaid, may only be a small amount." Chen Miao said, after making up for his financial knowledge, he also knew a little bit about some of the Taos here.

For example, now I borrow 200,000 fiat currency from the bank, and the interest is 10 percent, which is converted into silver dollars, about 10,000 yuan, and it is agreed that the loan will be repaid after half a year, and the legal currency needs to be repaid 220,000 yuan after half a year, and at this time, the fiat currency may depreciate by 50 percent, or even the bottom, and only 3 or 4,000 silver dollars can be exchanged for 220,000 legal currency.

used the 220,000 fiat currency to exchange the bank loan, and this came and went, and he made thousands of oceans.

Isn't it easy to make money?

It looks easy, but can you be sure that the fiat currency will definitely depreciate, what if it does? That's a loss, it's a gamble.

And now the depreciation of fiat currency is a high probability event, but it is difficult to say how much it can be depreciated, and you can't borrow such an amount of money from ordinary people.

So, in addition to gambling, you also need to have a bank willing to lend to you, otherwise, it's just a distant dream.

Banks are not stupid, and if everyone did that, they would not have to pay for it.

Chen Miao wants to borrow money, it's not a big problem, but if he wants to borrow 200,000 yuan, it will be difficult, no bank dares to put such a large sum of money to him at once.

Only separate borrowing,

If one bank borrows 50,000 yuan, four banks can make up 200,000 yuan, which is not too difficult, and his assets must add up to more than 200,000 yuan.

There is asset collateral, such a loan bank must be willing, not to mention that his current identity is different from the past, the bank is also willing to lend him money, even if it is given for nothing, people may be willing, this is a layer of umbrella.

Whether this is a pit person, it doesn't count, no one can say what will happen in three months, or even half a year later.

"Will it work?"

"Why not, we now have a lot of real estate in our hands, and the bank will definitely be willing to make a mortgage to the bank, and the interest will not be too high, which is much better than borrowing usury." Chen Miao said, "You just have to choose the plan, and leave the money matter to me to solve, by the way, how is Xu Wan'er's work doing?" ”

"She's very serious, she plans to rent a theater first, do some performances first, and when our theater is completed, she can move it directly." Liang Xueqin said.

"She will toss, but she is still very thoughtful, she can't let theaters and other troupes, can we still operate in a variety of ways, stage plays, dramas, Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Kunqu Opera, and even magic and burlesque, as long as there are talented people, we can provide a stage for him to perform!"

"Isn't that a hodgepodge?"

"Yes, on the stage, anyone can perform on stage, inclusive of all rivers and rivers!"
