The middle-aged man immediately became nervous, and the two young people also subconsciously leaned over.

"Nothing." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's just some machinery and equipment, not worth a few dollars." ”

"Machines and equipment are not worth much? Are you fooling ghosts? These are hens that lay golden eggs! Zhong Yi said a few words in his heart, but he did not debunk the middle-aged man.

Zhong Yi asked again: "Moved out of Nanjing, right?" Why stay here and not leave? ”

At this time, the middle-aged man also saw that Zhong Yi should not have any bad intentions, and his expression relaxed slightly.

At that moment, the middle-aged man replied: "Yes, we moved out of Nanjing, but if people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. ”

Zhong Yi said: "With so much equipment in your factory, the scale should be not small, why didn't you take the waterway?" ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said with a bitter face: "The difference between one thought is only one thought!" ”

It seems that the middle-aged man has not found a suitable person to talk to for a long time, and he has been holding back too much bitterness in his heart.

"Master Jun, I'll tell you the truth, before the fall of Nanjing, our Dafengnian ammonium sulfate factory had just been built, but the products were really best-selling, and they had already been booked out before they left the factory." Speaking of the heyday, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately showed a strange light, and he said, "The managers of several foreign companies are worried that they will not be able to buy the goods, and even pay the full amount in advance!" ”

Zhong Yi listened to the slight movement in his heart, ammonium sulfate factory? It's fertilizer! In this era, can chemical fertilizers sell well?

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and the middle-aged man patted his thigh again and said with great annoyance: "Because the product is too popular, I am also greedy for a while, so I continued to produce and operate, and did not close the business and packaging equipment in accordance with the deadline required by the national government. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man clapped his hands violently, and couldn't say any more, but his chagrin was overflowing.

Who would have thought that the national army would be defeated so quickly, and who would have thought that the devils would hit Nanjing so quickly?

After a long time, the middle-aged man adjusted his mood, and continued: "By the time we disassemble the equipment, pack it, and then book the wagons and ferries, it will be too late, not only the cost of transportation has risen to the sky, even if you can afford the sky-high prices, you can't book wagons and ferries, and all the wagons and ferries have been requisitioned by the government." ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man said: "There is no way, we can only hire porters to load equipment by land, and as a result, we met devils in Langxi and entered the city. ”

Zhong Yi said: "Then have you ever thought about what to do next?" ”

"What else can I do?" The middle-aged man said gloomily, "There's really no way." ”

Zhong Yi was silent, he didn't want to do anything, this batch of equipment can only be cheaper!

At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "By the way, I don't know what you call it yet?" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "The surname is Li, Li Xudong, Muzi Li, Xudong of the rising sun." ”

"It turned out to be Boss Li." Zhong Yi clenched his fists and said, "I am Zhong Yi, the commander of the 367th Regiment of the Central Army, if you need help, you can go to the Chengdong Shelter to find me at any time." ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged man was immediately stunned when he heard this.

The two young men in the back were also dumbfounded.

Zhong Yi smiled slightly, and left with Zhao Hanxing's farewell.

When he walked around the corner, Zhao Hanxing couldn't help but ask Zhong Yi: "Tuanzuo, do you really want to help this guy?" As he said just now, he doesn't know where he lost his money! Bringing them with them can only be a burden! ”

"Shut up!" Zhong Yi turned his face and said viciously, "You know a fart!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Just those equipment just now can top a group army of the Central Army!" ”

"What?" Now it's Zhao Hanxing's turn to be dumbfounded, can those equipment top up to a group army?

Zhong Yi didn't bother to explain more to Zhao Hanxing, because he didn't understand some truths.

Zhong Yi said that these equipment can top a group army of the Central Army, which is really not an exaggeration, because if these equipment are safely transported to the rear and rebuilt and put into production, they will continue to produce chemical fertilizers, and with chemical fertilizers, crops can increase production, even if they only produce 5,000 tons per year, how much grain can be increased every year, and how many troops can be fed?

What's more, according to Zhong Yi's estimate, the production capacity of the Dafeng annual ammonium sulfate plant is by no means more than 5,000 tons!

Therefore, no matter what, you have to take away this batch of equipment, and you must not be cheap!

……

However, Zhong Yi had just come up with this idea in his heart, and he immediately encountered a huge test.

For the two of them had not gone far, they encountered almost the same situation again, another pile of boxes were stacked in a haphazard manner on the street, and a middle-aged man sat on it.

Zhong Yi stepped forward to ask and found out that this middle-aged man was the proprietor of a flour mill in Nanjing.

And these wooden crates behind him contained all the equipment of the flour mill.

It was only at this time that Zhong Yi suddenly realized that this was an encounter with "wandering light industry".

According to historical records, before the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the light industry in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was actually very developed, and the so-called golden decade of the Republic of China, in addition to the real estate industry, the fastest growing light industry.

These light industries are mainly food, textiles, papermaking, printing, pharmaceuticals, and small chemicals.

After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the light industry moved inward, first to Nanjing, Nanjing was about to be lost, and the large business owners found the relationship with the government, and ran away from the railway and waterway, but the small workshop owners and small business owners had no one to care about their life or death, so they could only find their own way, all the way to Langxi, and the devil was intercepted.

Later, the devils advanced to Nanjing, and the 3rd War Zone recovered Langxi.

However, by this time, most of these small workshop owners and small business owners had run out of financial resources, and although the equipment was there, they could no longer afford to transport it away.

Later, some of these small workshop owners and small business owners tried every means to transport the equipment to the rear and began an unimaginable light industry wandering.

However, most of the machinery and equipment, including those like the Dafengnian ammonium sulfate factory, are cheaper!

Thinking of this, Zhong Yi's mood immediately became heavy, if it was just a Dafengnian ammonium sulfate factory, their 367 regiment could barely carry it, but if they wanted to take away all the light industries that wandered to southern Anhui, it was beyond their strength, after all, now their 367 regiment is full of more than 300 people, and the manpower is limited.
