Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 819

Chapter 819: Drunk!

Seeing that Tang Dao was so confident, he even devised a novel system in which he paid insurance premiums and was responsible for compensation. Although the insurance premiums he had to pay were slightly higher, as long as he didn't let the factory go bankrupt, he would still make money after all. Everyone was in dire straits. The textile factory owner in China was still very happy.

These people are all human beings. As long as Tang Dao can ensure that there will be no military disasters, the biggest hidden worry has been eliminated. As for how to coordinate the relationship with the local military and government in the northwest, as long as money and grinding are used, the devil can be pushed away. Okay, this routine shouldn't be too simple for those who have been in shopping malls for a long time.

The people of Yu Province have a good capacity for drinking. Naturally, they were happy to toast to Tang Dao. There are no three- or five-cent wine glasses here. They are all bowls for eating. Even if you only pour the bottom of the bowl, there will be at least one or two. There is more than enough, but Tang Dao does not reject anyone who comes, and the wine is drunk until it is dry.

As the saying goes: The quality of wine depends on the character! The reason why Chinese people have to do business in the wine bar between changing glasses is not the amount of alcohol consumed, but the attitude towards drinking.

Wine is difficult to drink, but if you can't even overcome it with alcohol, what else can your customers expect from you? It's such a simple truth.

Seeing how heroic Tang Dao was, a group of businessmen led by Jia Dongxing gained even more trust in Tang Dao.

There were also smart people at the banquet. Seeing the fierce fight between Tang Dao and a group of people from the Textile Association, they couldn't help but feel jealous, so they took the opportunity of toasting to come over to inquire. I heard that Tang Dao pointed out a clear way to the Textile Association to move the factory to the northwest. , but his mind was also moved.

They all asked Tang Dao to give them advice on where to go. The merchants here came from all walks of life, including grain shops, clothing shops, horse shops, cigarette factories, and even one who ran a brothel. .Hearing this, Tang Dao also felt dizzy.

The textile industry can move to the northwest because cotton is abundant there and there is no shortage of raw materials. The cost can be reduced instead of increasing. However, these service industries require a large number of people.

The barren place in the northwest where no trees grow may not be suitable for them.

“Go to Sichuan Province!” Tang Dao finally gave a clear answer.

According to the battle situation in time and space, the Battle of Xuzhou will be completed within three months. Although the battle relied on the Battle of Taierzhuang to severely damage the Japanese army in North China and won a great victory on the local battlefield, it was still a strategic failure.

As the Japanese army, unwilling to fail, continued to deploy troops and generals, the Fifth Theater began a strategic retreat. The Longhai Line and the Han Line, the two major transportation arteries, finally fell into the hands of the enemy. After obtaining these two important transportation lines, the Japanese army began to rely on them to transport troops. , the troops will be directed at Jiangxia, the current capital, and central China will soon be in danger.

These businessmen are so eager to move their industries, on the one hand, because of their own interests, and on the other hand, because they do not want to be subjugated slaves and do business under the hands of the Japanese. These are all worthy of encouragement.

In the later period, when the Japanese occupied the big city, they no longer behaved as beastly as Jinling. It was not because they found their conscience unwilling to kill anymore, but because they needed the industrial and commercial value in the city to generate blood for their ever-expanding war activities and reduce the burden at home.

If a considerable part of the industry and commerce in the city could be relocated before they occupied it, it would also be a blow to Japan.

"Although Sichuan Province is located in the southwest and is surrounded by mountains and has inconvenient transportation, it also makes it strategically safe, and it is densely populated. The population of Sichuan Province alone reaches 60 million!" Tang Dao said his own reason.

Of course, in order not to shock the world, Tang Dao has not said that it will not be long before various government departments temporarily staying in Jiangxia will move from Jiangxia to eastern Sichuan, along with a large number of factories, schools and a large population.

According to statistics, in 1933, there were only 415 factories and handicraft workshops in the mountain city. After the war broke out, more than 400 factories moved to Chongqing, increasing the number of industrial and mining enterprises in the city to 1,690, accounting for one-third of the total number of factories in the country at that time. 1; and the number of colleges and universities has reached more than 50, ranking first in the country.

In addition, there are also refugees from North China and East China who were forced to leave their homes due to the outbreak of war. This is considered to be a countless population migration in the history of the Chinese nation. No one can count the specific number of this great population migration, but according to the most conservative The estimate is also around 20 million.

The first stop for refugees who left their hometowns was to temporarily accompany the capital of Jiangxia. Then as the war progressed, people continued to flee to Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, such as "safe areas" covered with mountains. Just the capital of the mountain city, people flocked to More than one million people have immigrated, and the immigrant population accounts for more than half of the original population of the mountain city.

Although the mountain city has been decided as the capital as early as November last year, after Tang Dao said this, all the businessmen were relieved one after another, and some people who were still hesitant also moved a little more. Determination to leave.

Although Tang Dao didn't say it clearly, they could sense from it that even Tang Dao, an iron-blooded soldier who resolutely resisted the war, was not optimistic about the current war situation.

Tang Dao, however, did not favor one over the other. He, Lei Xiong, Gu Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan each walked around in the VIP client area holding wine bowls, giving these 'celebrities' enough face.

When they returned to Jia Dongxing's table, they were already satiated. Seeing Tang Dao return, a group of bosses gave Tang Dao back to the main seat, replaced Tang Dao with bowls and chopsticks, and poured more After drinking, a group of uncles looked at Tang Dao with "weird" faces.

This made Tang Dao also think about it in his heart, this is what he wants! Could it be that after discussing it for a while, I felt that the 'insurance premium' was too high?

Logically speaking, Tang Dao gave this group of textile industry tycoons time to discuss. They could list some detailed terms now, then listen to Tang Dao's opinions and modify them, and sign the contract before leaving.

They received enough guarantees to move all the textile factories to a place in the northwest. Tang Dao even helped them think of a city. Xianyang on the edge of Chang'an is not far from the Guanzhong Plain and not far from northern Shaanxi. It has 100,000 sets of military uniforms a year. Blockade or not, it is easy to transport.

Yes, Tang Dao has no intention of asking for the 'insurance premium' of up to 100,000 sets of military uniforms a year. It is a gift from Tang Dao to his own people, although it will only account for a small amount of his own people who will expand to millions of troops in the future. It's a small proportion, but even small mosquitoes are nothing more than meat. The big bosses among our own people are absolutely delighted with this gift.

What Tang Dao really needs is those thousands of "customized" military uniforms. Maybe after knowing the demand of Tang Dao, Jia Dongxing and a group of people will cry. This so-called fraction is no cheaper than the 100,000 military uniforms with a cost of 0.5 oceans.

Tang Dao has strict requirements for the military uniforms of the Si Xing Regiment in the future. Let's not talk about the special functions of being rainproof, fireproof and stabproof. Its demand for sturdiness and wear resistance is far beyond what the current coarse cotton military uniforms can match. , and what the special squadron needs is camouflage, and technological innovation is required in dyeing.

Of course, whether or not to cry is another matter. Since we were on Tang Tuanzuo's pirate ship, it would be so easy to get off. What's more, they had to rush up and tie them up themselves.

That's right, it's not just the so-called contract that can bind all of this. Businessmen are far more willing to spend money when doing business than ordinary people think.

So, the inquiry that greeted Tang Dao had nothing to do with any contract for the time being.

"What are you doing? If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask." Tang Dao looked confused.

“Captain Tang, I wonder how old the young officer named Zhao Daqiang is this year? Where does he live? Is he married?” the rich old Zhou asked respectfully.

Huh! This guy Zhao Daqiang can do it! Got noticed so quickly? Tang Dao was slightly happy, but his face was calm.

This thing! Just like fishing, the fish touches the bait but has not bitten the hook yet. If you lift the rod too early, you will only scare the fish away.

"Well! It's a military secret. Boss Zhou, I forgive Tang Dao for having no comment." Tang Dao smiled slightly.

"No, no, Captain Tang, don't get me wrong. This is the case. I have a niece in my family who is already in her twenties. She has been clamoring all day long to join the army to protect her family and country. You said, how can I, an uncle, not do this? Headache? No, my niece came here after hearing that she was coming to attend the party of the Four Elements Group. Just now when you left, my family actually asked me to ask about your company commander Zhao Daqiang. The situation, and it seems to be the meaning of the niece." Lao Zhou was startled and hurriedly explained.

Although the words were not stated clearly, the meaning was expressed clearly. The family has a precious niece who is not yet out of the government at the age of 22, and her heart is attached to the military camp. She is a very big-headed elder. Finally, the niece came up with an idea. Why shouldn't he, the uncle, rush out quickly?

Don't underestimate the prestige of an uncle in the family. If he is the head of the family, he will even have more authority than his own father. It has to be said that Lao Zhou's nieces and nephews are discerning. Although Zhao Daqiang looks honest and simple, in fact, he is shrewd in his simplicity. Otherwise, he would not be promoted to be a guard by Mr. Liu Yuqing, nor would he meet Tang Dao's promotion. After becoming the captain of the main company for several levels, Zhao Daqiang showed his abilities to the fullest in the battle for gold.

It turns out that among the four main company commanders of the independent battalion, the 27-year-old Zhao Daqiang is more mature than Qian Dazhu, and Li Jiujin, who is over thirty and a little more cautious, is more energetic. Originally, Leng Feng could suppress him. On the one hand, when Leng Feng was promoted to major and battalion commander, in fact, in Tang Dao's mind, he was the one most likely to be promoted again.

Of course, for the girl who Tang Dao met and may not have left much of an impression on, she may not be interested in Zhao Daqiang's military rank and future, but mainly this one! Manly.

Zhao Daqiang is not a typical fair-faced handsome guy, nor is he like Tang Dao, a handsome man with a long figure and a sharp face. At first glance, he looks very simple and embarrassing, and will soon be overwhelmed by the crowd, but if you look closely, Under a pair of thick eyebrows, there are a pair of very smart eyes. The beard was shaved a few days ago, and new stubble has grown in the past two days, but it does not look sloppy but adds a bit of the unique temperament of male creatures.

Coupled with the new military uniform that best reflects the heroic temperament of a man and the tall and tall figure of a soldier that is far beyond ordinary people, he is full of masculinity.

This is not an isolated case. Those who will serve as freshmen military training instructors for college freshmen in the future will burn the love letters they receive from freshmen girls.

The masculinity unique to soldiers is far more attractive to young women than those well-dressed young men.

For the parents' generation, appearance is not so important, but the military rank is important. An officer in his twenties will have a smooth future, and he is completely in line with their ideal son-in-law.

"Oh? That's it. So, Boss Zhou, don't be in a hurry. Right now, we just want to eat and drink well. When we have negotiated everything later, let him come and chat with you. It'll be nice to wait and see. ?" Tang Dao was happy in his heart, but on the surface he was reserved.

Must take care of that! Lao Zhou's niece is attracted to Zhao Daqiang, but there is another one too! In the future world, "If You Are the One" will still choose each other to keep the lights on and turn them off!

In addition, we have to consider whether Zhao Daqiang has a crush on his niece? Tang Dao hopes to resolve the marriages of his officers, but he feels that love must first exist in marriage. What is the use of companionship without love?

The first feeling of love is so important.

Some people say that love at first sight is too hasty. In fact, human beings' perceptual thinking is very wonderful. Some people can tell whether the person in front of them is suitable for you with just one glance.

Tang Dao and Tantai Mingyue are actually no exception. The first meeting between the two was indeed not very pleasant, but one of them didn't pay much attention to him because he was busy with military affairs, and the other was quite dissatisfied with him because of the other's arrogance and some misunderstandings. They were unhappy, but that didn't stop them from making a good first impression of each other when they first looked at each other.

Many people like to say, 'All good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are only one in a million! ' But when the other party doesn't have the same skin, they are simply unwilling to get in touch with that potentially interesting soul.

Tang Dao is also one of all living beings. History has proven that no matter how heroic you are, once you fall in love with a beautiful woman, it is difficult to escape.

This is human nature, which everyone knows, but is extremely difficult to overcome.

Tang Dao was suddenly raised, and the old foxes from the Textile Association could only remain calm.

Firstly, the daughter and niece are interested in marrying the Four Elements Group. Secondly, it can also bring the relationship with the Four Elements Group closer. The northwest is the territory where the Northeast Army has been entrenched for several years. The news they have learned can be It shows that Tang Dao has a close relationship with the guy from the 67th Army, and it would be best to get the relationship from him.

But if they want to send their daughter off in a hurry, none of the business tycoons have the dignity to do so, which is absolutely impossible.

Then let's continue drinking with Tang Tuan, who is in a good mood!

Tang Dao did not withdraw from the banquet because he had to wait until his officers and soldiers came to the table.

The people were aware that there were people waiting behind them, especially the group of soldiers, and they ate very quickly. Except for the steamed buns distributed earlier, which were packed away by everyone, the food on the table was completely wiped out.

The banquets in the straw hut area have not been removed yet, but two rounds have been served on the flowing water table. The people left satisfied after eating and drinking, and then the soldiers and the remaining townspeople came to the table.

Tang Dao brought the three chief officers, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan, to toast one unit at a time. These were his soldiers. They had fought hard against the Japanese on the battlefield. They deserved to be treated like this.

Tang Dao, who had already drank two kilograms of wine, showed for the first time the true strength of a man soaked in a wine vat.

"Brothers!" In almost every company-level unit, the wine bowl in Tang Dao's hand, which could hold two taels of white wine, was full. Facing the wine bowls held up by the officers and soldiers, Tang Dao was filled with laughter. Drink it all.

This is thanks and respect!

This is a soldier from the future who pays respect to these Chinese soldiers who have never left their names in the long history and respects their sacrifices for this country and the nation; this is also a soldier who fought bravely against the Japanese invaders on the battlefield. A soldier's gratitude to his comrades who fought alongside him, thanking them for accompanying him on the battlefield without hesitation!

No one stopped Tang Dao from swallowing the liquor, not even Tantai Mingyue, who was most worried about him.

All emotions are in wine, and you can feel them if you are a soldier.

Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun are both from the north, and both have a good drinking capacity, but they can't compare with Tang Jiutan. A bowl has one liang, and one round costs more than a kilogram. Zhuang Shisan is from Songjiang, and he can drink rice wine. I'm a noob when it comes to baijiu. Half a tael in the bowl is the limit. After a round of toasting, my face is so red that I can't walk straight.

Fortunately, these three months of cruel battlefields have also tempered this man's mental will. Even though he was drunk, he was still able to walk back without help without being rude.

Tang Dao saw that this man was dying, and quickly asked the staff to help him go back to rest.

Seeing that Tang Tuanzuo was still sober after drinking several kilograms of white wine, Gong Shaoxun realized that Tang Dao and Wu Junzuo did not even show half of their strength when they competed for wine! Wu Junzuo underestimated the strength of Tang Dao.

But Chief Zhuang was not the only one who was drunk.

Tang Tuanzuo started drinking like this, and the soldiers present drank at least half of it. It wasn't that soldiers couldn't drink, or that they didn't have enough self-discipline.

Rather, they have been on the battlefield. Even though they have been away from the battlefield for more than a month, they have been marching hard. Even just now, they witnessed a ground-to-air battle with their own eyes. They were already mentally tense and suddenly declared a holiday. Relax, and Tang Tuanzuo said that the wine is enough, so this wine is naturally too much.

Or, more importantly, they missed their comrades who died in battle.

They can eat big chunks of meat and drink wine here to celebrate the first New Year of the Four Elements Regiment, but those comrades who used to get along day and night can only lie in the cold mud, and many of them have no bones left.

Many people will pour the first glass of wine into the soil in front of them and shout in a low voice: "Brother, I have a toast for you."

That is the oldest tradition in China.

Then, get drunk!
