Chapter 24: Another City
Using the power in his hands to whitewash the officials in Yunnan, and also covering up the fact that the control of Yanjin County is still in the hands of the Long family in Yunnan, this is a complete naked betrayal of the highest authorities!
There is a saying in the market, "There is a great deal of risk, there is a great reward". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Huang Haoran is willing to take such a big risk for the Yunnan Long family, so the return he wants must be very huge.
Long Shenwu didn't dare to pat his chest and take a big bag. Instead, he first stated that his decision-making power was limited, and if it was beyond the scope, he still had to make the decision himself.
"It's a very simple condition, in the whole world, only your Long family can do it......"
Long Shenwu immediately thought of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. The bargaining chips between the factions of the army are nothing more than territory, population, money and arms.
As soon as Huang Haoran came up, he declared that he did not want the territory and ceded control of Yanjin County to Yunnan, indicating that the first kind of bargaining chip was useless to him.
Sichuan is a province with a large population, and Yibin is not short of population, so the second type of bargaining chip is not the right way.
The rest of the money and arms are not unique to Yunnan.
Therefore, the conditions for Huang Haoran to open can only be related to the Yunnan-Burma Highway. This highway is now an authentic "Yunnan specialty".
"I want to invest in the Yunnan-Burma Road Transport Company, the kind of dry shares, not the kind of capital...... In addition, at the border, a special passage will be opened for me...... Some of the supplies I urgently needed were in the hands of the British and French. I can give money, but it must be at a fair price, and it can only be deducted from the dividends of the transportation company......"
Long Shenwu finally understood. Huang Haoran's eyes have actually crossed Yunnan and entered Myanmar and Vietnam. He is going to be an international transporter~ This requirement is really only available to their Yunnan Longjia family.
"This special passage, I'm afraid there are exits and entrances, right?"
"Young Master Long is really smart~ I don't say dark words in front of the Mingren, how many troops can I raise just by transportation and smuggling? I wanted to ship some of the things that the East India Company shipped to China back then, Vietnam and Burma were just springboards, and the final destinations were Japan, Britain, France, and the United States......"
Selling opium abroad? Isn't this tantamount to selling coal to Datong, Shanxi? Long Shenwu is not optimistic about Huang Haoran's business at all. He believes that failure is an inevitable end.
But what does it matter to him?
The most important thing at the moment is that Huang Haoran wants to make a deal with the Long family, and he only needs to share some benefits of the Yunnan-Burma Highway to him, so that he can keep Yanjin County, the gate of Yunnan Province.
It is impossible to sign the transaction under the stage in black and white, and it is impossible to have detailed accounts to check, in fact, how much benefit Huang Haoran can share depends on the mood of the Long family. In the future, they can also use this as a lever to blackmail Huang Haoran.
Such a good thing, Long Shenwu almost wanted to make a decision on the spot, but he was afraid of being seen wrong. He had no choice but to endure the joy in his heart and tell Huang Haoran that he had to send a telegram to Longyun in Yunnan.
Huang Haoran nodded to indicate that he had no opinion, and then watched Long Shenwu leave. What he just said was the truth. It's just that due to the different visions of the two sides, the deviation in understanding is bigger.
The assistance of the Soviets did not last long. The powder keg in Europe will soon be detonated, and the domestic arms industry will not be able to keep up. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, new channels of military assistance are necessary.
Historically, after the outbreak of the European War, before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States provided large-scale assistance to China, the Chongqing government never received a large amount of military aid. Huang Haoran could only put his calculations on the two big fat sheep of the British and French colonial garrisons in Vietnam and Burma.
Although the First World War had not passed for long, the colonies of Britain and France in Asia were already terminally ill. Corruption has reached alarming levels. Long Yun was able to get so many French army supplies to remind Huang Haoran. He could dig into the corners of these two old imperialists.
In the eyes of corrupt officials, the exchange ratio of state property and private property can be quite exaggerated. Huang Haoran believed that it was entirely possible to completely empty the arsenals of Vietnam and Burma as long as they hit the soft underbelly of the British and French who stayed in the colonies.
The colony was far from home, and the annual depreciation of ammunition for training was an unclear and confusing account, leaving much room for imagination in arms smuggling.
It is said that there are also several arms factories in Vietnam and Myanmar, and Mr. Wong even wants to dismantle the machines there and ship them back to China.
In addition to this, the two colonies were two important transit points. Under the protection of Britain and France, the ports there would not be blocked by the Japanese fleet, and the railways there would not be bombed by Japanese aircraft. The advanced equipment that Huang Haoran purchased from Europe and the United States out of his own pocket can arrive here safely and then be transported to Yibin via the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
As for the plan to export opium abroad, it is by no means casual. Huang Haoran is aware of the development trend of drugs in the world. Although the domestic chemical industry cannot provide the materials needed for ice, the technology of purifying tobacco soil can be fully realized.
Drug trafficking has always been a lucrative industry, making money from the Japanese, Europe and the United States, and then buying weapons and ammunition to fight small Japan. This kind of business is done without any psychological burden at all.
Long Yun didn't call back immediately, most likely because he was worried that there was fraud in it and wanted to study more.
Long Shenwu accompanied Huang Haoran to eat a meal of Yunnan cuisine, and then arranged for Huang Haoran and his party to live in the largest house in the county.
Originally, I wanted to stuff two beautiful girls into the backyard to warm the quilt for Huang Haoran, but after seeing Meng Shiqing and Thrush, I dispelled this idea.
Who are these two beautiful women? Isn't Huang Haoran going to marry Yang Sen's daughter Yang Wenna? How can you run around with two women? Could it be that he found a handle that can handle Huang Haoran again?
What anti-Japanese famous general and victorious general is not a bird in front of women?
Long Shenwu finally found Huang Haoran's "weakness" and regained some self-confidence.
At breakfast the next morning, Long Shenwu personally accompanied him, and there was also Wang Huanzhi's mouth of Wang Huan's bald son - Wang Qi. After the eldest young master of the Long family arrived, Wang Bald retreated to the position of deputy in a conspicuous manner.
In order to show his sincerity to Yunnan, Huang Haoran asked Meng Shiqing to dine with him. Although Long Shenwu did not know Meng Shiqing's identity, this did not prevent him and Wang Bald from praising Meng Shiqing's beauty.
At the dinner table, it is not harmonious.
But Huang Haoran noticed that Long Shenwu and the others kept looking at the door, and it seemed that Kunming hadn't made up his mind this night.
Why don't you go to Pingshan first and leave more time for the Long family to think about?
If you retreat as advance, you may be able to get better results.
Just as Huang Haoran made up his mind and was about to speak, Long Yun's telegram arrived.
Long Shenwu quickly read it, and then happily told Huang Haoran that Long Yun had agreed to all the conditions.
The dry shares of the Yunnan-Burma Road Transport Company, plus 200 trucks given to Huang Haoran by Bai, what these vehicles transported, the Long family never asked.
Conservatively calculated, the annual dividends generated should not be less than five million.
It's half-open, not fiat......
"Okay~ Let's replace wine with tea, and drink this cup full, it will be regarded as a celebration of the opening of the business......"
"Good! General Huang is really happy, I will do it first as a respect! ”
As soon as you raise your neck, Pu'er tea flows down your throat, and the fragrance is refreshing.
The second county seat was also won...... (To be continued.) )
