Chapter 289: Demand

When he was about to get off work, Zhu Muyun received a call from Aiden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He told Zhu Muyun that Shanghai Feng Company called back, and the price of the sewing machine was 350 fiat currency for one machine, and 315 fiat currency for more than five units.

"Aiden, how long does it take to ship from Shanghai to Guxing?" Zhu Muyun asked, he had to consult Deng Xiangtao to know the specific order quantity.

"The sewing machine is more convenient than the car, and it can be transported by train, so it should be about ten days." Aiden said that cars are large items, and loading and unloading them can be a hassle if they are transported by train.

"Okay, I'll let you know the specific order quantity." Zhu Muyun said that with the price, how many sewing machines to buy, presumably Deng Xiangtao should have a bottom in his heart.

looked at the time, he could already get off work, but Zhu Muyun did not leave. On his desk, the detailed registration form given by Qi Shengquan, in addition to the six machines that Qi Shengquan needed, there was also a set of machines, which Zhu Muyun needed. It was a set of printing equipment, and Zhu Muyun didn't recognize it at first.

After reading Qi Shengquan's registration form, he went to see the machine again, which was a set of equipment for printing newspapers, in addition to the printing press, there were also related supporting equipment. All the equipment, a total of seven. But Zhu Muyun is not sure which equipment can be used for printing. Therefore, he decided to show the list to Hu Mengbei first.

After transcribing all the machine conditions, Zhu Muyun got off work. These machines, first of all, have to wait for Hu Mengbei to choose, and the rest will be Deng Xiangtao's turn. As for Chen Wangjin, or others, they only care about how much they can sell. When the time comes, as long as the rain and dew are evenly wet.

Zhu Muyun sent two pieces of information to Hu Mengbei's warehouse machine list, in addition to the more than 40 machines in the large warehouse, there are also separately selected equipment that can produce hardware. He believes that those equipment must be very important to the base area. What was given to Deng Xiangtao was the price of the sewing machine.

Aiden's price to Zhu Muyun is 350 yuan for one unit, and 315 yuan for more than five units. Zhu Muyun directly doubled the price, the price of one unit is 700 yuan, and the price of more than five units is 630 yuan. He believes that Gu Chunhui must be willing to invest money in order to prepare for the construction of this so-called quilt factory.

After Hu Mengbei received Zhu Muyun's information, he immediately sent a report to the organization. Hu Mengbei is just a teacher, how can he understand these machines? Fortunately, there was this list, and the function of the machine was also very detailed, and all he had to do was to lengthen the content of the telegram. Although it took two more hours, Hu Mengbei felt that it was worth it.

Bian Mingze didn't expect that Hu Mengbei's telegram would be so long. He asked the telegraph operator to copy it while he took it back and translated it himself. Only the first page was translated, Bian Mingze's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent someone to call Gan Changlin, the logistics minister.

"Lao Gan, there is a list of machines here, look at them, which ones can be used by your logistics department?" Bian Mingze copied the list of machines separately, and after Gan Changlin came, he gave him the list.

Although it is impossible to write the list in the telegram in detail, Gan Changlin's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the names of those devices. He, the logistics minister, is often a clever daughter-in-law who has no rice to cook. What is the main reason? There is no equipment, and there are no raw materials. But in the base, there is no shortage of talents.

At the beginning of the battle between the national army and the Japanese army at Guxing in 38, the party organization began to consciously transfer the intellectuals of Guxing to the base area. In the struggle for intellectuals, the Communist Party went ahead of the Kuomintang.

"Minister Bian, can I take this list back?" Gan Changlin asked, those people under him are shouting for equipment every day, but he can't do tricks, how can he conjure equipment.

"Of course, you can pick some of the equipment in this list." Bian Mingze said that the price of these machines must be very expensive, and it would be very good if they could get their hands on them.

Gan Changlin responded in his mouth, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to move all the machines to the base area. In particular, those drilling, milling, and lathes, once these machines are available in the base areas, they can completely run a small military factory. Even if it doesn't work, at least, you can set up a repair shop, right?

Within half an hour, Gan Changlin came over again, and the list he got was only a small part. After he took all the lists, he never came back. But when it was almost dawn, Bian Mingze was woken up by Gan Changlin.

"Minister Bian, this is the machine we need." Gan Changlin took out a new list, last night, he didn't close his eyes all night, and discussed it with the people in the logistics department all night. Eventually, such a list was produced.

"I said Minister Gan, are you sure that the logistics department needs so many machines?" Bian Mingze was taken aback by the equipment on the list, except for the dozen or so looms, the rest of the machines, Gan Changlin was all gone.

"We have calculated that each of these machines can play an extremely important role in the base area. You see, for example, sewing machines, with these three sewing machines, we can set up a quilt factory, and in the future, comrades' military uniforms and quilts will not have to trouble others. Gan Changlin said with a smile, not to mention that there are three sewing machines, even if there is only one, he has to set up a quilt factory.

"Okay, since each one is important, do you provide the funds to buy these machines?" Bian Mingze stretched out, although these machines were taken by Zhu Muyun from the train station, they can't be used for free, right?

"That's exactly what I want to discuss with you, I don't have the money in my hands, but the machine needs it." Gan Changlin sat on Bian Mingze's bed, picked up the cigarette at the bedside, and lit one for himself. He knew that Bian Mingze had a capable person in Guxing, and this little thing was nothing to Bian Mingze.

"I said Gan Changlin, Gan Changlin, you are also the logistics minister of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region, how can you be such a scoundrel." Bian Mingze was angry and funny, although he also knew the difficulties of the logistics department, but Gan Changlin's behavior could not be supported, otherwise it could only encourage this atmosphere.

Zhu Muyun's work in Guxing has been fruitful, and he has not received any support from the organization, but Zhu Muyun often helps the organization. Last time, the head of the Central Plains Bureau was able to leave Guxing smoothly, thanks to Zhu Muyun's underground communication line. This time, Zhu Muyun tried everything possible to get these machines. If the organization does not give a penny, it will make Zhu Muyun very difficult.

"If I have money, how can I cheat? There is no way to do it. Gan Changlin took a breath and said helplessly.

"Didn't you have a box of gold bars last time?" Bian Mingze said that if I remember correctly, Zhu Muyun sent most of the boxes of gold bars to the organization.

"The last time I went to Shanghai to buy medicines, I ran out of gold bars. Food, drink, and Lazar in the border area and columns, which one does not cost money? Let me tell you the truth, I only have 600 oceans on hand, and you can't let me have no money to buy salt, right? Gan Changlin said.

"I think you, the logistics minister, should let it be left to others." Bian Mingze said with a wry smile, Zhu Muyun is in the investigation department, how much problem has he solved for the base area? From guns and ammunition to salt, rice, and e-liquid, they were all sent to the base areas.

"If someone else wants to be it, I'll give it to him. Old Bian, the one you are in the ancient star has extraordinary energy, let him think of a way, even if I owe him a favor. This time, as long as he can come back, he will come to the base in the future, and I promise good wine and good food. Gan Changlin patted his chest, he didn't know the situation of the Guxing underground party, but he knew that under Bian Mingze, there was a comrade with great energy.

"Okay, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it can meet your requirements, how can you transport so many machines back? The comrades of the Guxing underground party are not familiar with machinery. Bian Mingze said.

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you, these machines have to be dismantled if they want to be transported into the base. I can send someone into town if needed. Gan Changlin said.

"Of course you have to send people into the city, but more importantly, how to organize the transportation out." Bian Mingze said that since he woke up, he would no longer sleep. Looking at the time, he had to prepare to call Hu Mengbei back. Such a long list, to decode, it will take a while.

By the time Hu Mengbei received a call back from Bian Bao, it was already past seven o'clock. He didn't have time to deliver it to the mailbox, so he quickly called a rickshaw and went to the nameless noodle restaurant on the edge of the ferry. He knew that Zhu Muyun would pass by the nameless noodle restaurant in the morning, and as long as he sat in a conspicuous place, Zhu Muyun would naturally come to connect.

But when Hu Mengbei arrived at the nameless noodle restaurant, it was almost eight o'clock, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, if Zhu Muyun was not there, he would have to go to the investigation department. Zhu Muyun now wears three hats, and it is difficult to find his person without making an appointment in advance. Fortunately, outside the nameless noodle restaurant, Hu Mengbei saw Zhu Muyun's car.

In the nameless noodle restaurant, Zhu Muyun prepared two places for the underground party and the military commander to transmit information. Hu Mengbei went in and saw Zhu Muyun. He ordered a bowl of noodles in a loud voice, and as he ate the noodles, he stuffed the information into the secret compartment of the table. After he left, Zhu Muyun sat down and successfully took out the information.

Seeing that so many machines were needed in the organization, Zhu Muyun also frowned secretly. It's not that he is worried about the money, these machines didn't cost money in the first place, he was only worried about how to receive them organizationally. Moreover, apart from the warehouse of the Chacha Section, he also has no good place to store it. The house next to the second branch was too small to fit so many things.

"Third son, wait for you to come to the warehouse in the north of the city to pull things." Zhu Muyun called the third son, and the last time he pulled the machine back from the train station, he was looking for a hundred miles of cars and horses. If you send the machine away, you can also travel through a hundred miles of carts.

The machines in the warehouse are half missing, and Zhu Muyun has to give an explanation. Of course, this so-called confession is just to give money. As for disassembling the machine, Zhu Muyun felt that Qi Shengquan could be found. The specific operation method: the machine is first transported to the Baili carriage and horse shop, dismantled there, and then transported to the north of the city, and out of the city through the underpass.
