Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 820

Chapter 820 Everyone is happy!

The officers and soldiers were drunk and easy to talk to, so they helped each other back to the barracks to rest.

　　Although the Four Troops had a big holiday today, they still remained vigilant about security guards.

Since entering the running water mat mode at noon, there is an infantry company outside the town fully armed and stationed at various checkpoints. There is also an infantry company in the town that forms an infantry squad-sized patrol to patrol 24 hours a day.

Of course, everyone has a day off during the holidays, and the fact that two infantry companies still need to be on combat duty will inevitably make anyone feel aggrieved.

Tang Dao first adopted a lottery system. The nine infantry company commanders under the three infantry battalions plus the commanders of the guard company, the special agent company, the cavalry company, the 1st artillery company, the 2nd artillery company, and the baggage company were directly under the regiment headquarters, regardless of whether they were front-line troops. Both the second-line auxiliary troops and the second-line auxiliary troops participated in the lottery for this combat duty.

In the philosophy of Tang Dao, there is no such thing as first-line and second-line. In ordinary battles, everyone naturally performs his or her duties. However, when encountering a crisis, all soldiers in the regiment must carry their guns and fight. Combat duty is the task of the soldiers. .

Drawing lots depends on luck. Some people are lucky and some are unlucky. The baggage company and the third company under Lei Xiong's first battalion were the "unfortunate" ones.

From noon on New Year's Eve to the evening of New Year's Day tomorrow, for a full 30 hours, two companies, one mile away and one away, are responsible for the security vigilance of the entire regiment.

However, duty is not in vain. Tang Dao announced that all personnel participating in combat duty during traditional holidays will be paid five times the normal military pay.

For example, for a sergeant, assuming his monthly salary is 12 oceans, based on a 30-day month, the daily rate is 0.4 oceans, then the 30 hours he is on duty is 2.5 oceans.

Don't underestimate this 2.5 yuan. According to current prices, it is enough for a rural family to live for a month.

The two company commanders who had previously lamented their poor luck were all smiles at that time, it was just a day off! Let the officers and soldiers go to Zhengzhou City for a tour. Those who are the officers are still worried that something will happen. Now they can control them and not run around, and they can still get money.

As for the other officers and soldiers who are celebrating the New Year, they can sleep in, drink, gamble and make noise, that's not a big deal. Two more bowls of meat will satisfy their mouths and they will be just as happy.

Li Jijin, who was desperate for money, wanted to change with the baggage company commander on the spot when he heard that there was such a good thing. The baggage company commander might usually give him three points, but now he shook his head like a rattle. He rejected Captain Li Dal's kindness with the words "The army must act according to the rules."

Company Commander Li Dal could only watch helplessly as several oceans receded from him.

The soldiers left after eating and drinking happily, and most of the 'celebrities' in the VIP customer area also left with satisfaction.

This time I came to the Si Xing Tuan and gained more than I imagined. I not only saw the power of the Si Xing Tuan, but also witnessed a ground-to-air battle in which I personally participated.

As time goes by, a group of old foxes, even if they don't communicate on the surface, privately understand that they have been used as bait without knowing it, and of course they have to be personally involved.

Although the process sounds thrilling, the ending is happy and their skin is not damaged. Some people may have complaints, but there is no need for Tang Dao to explain. They also know that they may still be figures in their own fields, but in the eyes of the big shot in the first battle zone, they are still ants.

Besides, they just happened to meet at the right time. Without them, this battle would still be fought.

If you can sign up with a powerful guy like Tang Dao, this meal will not be in vain.

Through contact with Tang Dao, they have automatically removed the so-called heroic leader label from Tang Dao and replaced it with a 'powerful person'.

Because Tang Dao was completely different from the upright soldier they imagined who only knew how to fight. On the surface, he looked full of iron-blooded temperament, but in fact, he was so cunning that it seemed unfathomable.

Someone has done a careful calculation. Looking at the scale of people who came today, Tang Dao has already received nearly 30,000 silver dollars just from receiving gifts. Not counting this, after a military parade, people's hearts were sore. As if they were possessed by a demon, everyone generously donated money to provide pensions for disabled veterans and soldiers who died in battle, which amounted to more than 60,000 yuan.

Good guy, how dare you make money by hosting a party? An income of nearly 100,000 yuan is something that 80% of the 'celebrities' here will not be able to earn in half their lifetime.

That's all. There are many people who can make money in this world, but Tang Dao can fool even people's hearts. Unexpectedly, a group of big guys from the Textile Association, headed by President Jia, actually circled around Tang Dao. Today, I will also count this wealth. The most concentrated industries donate the most.

If they don't leave, the more sober 'celebrities' will be afraid that they will be fooled by this 'cunning' leader and they won't even be able to wear their underpants.

Most people said goodbye and left.

But there are also a dozen people who are not afraid of death and still have Tang Dao wrapped around them.

Since Lao Zhou expressed his position, President Jia, Old Liu in suits, and a few others took the opportunity to toast to express their wishes quietly.

Lao Liu in a suit didn't even care about the fact that the man in his room didn't come at all.

A man! Women are usually used as shields when it comes to children's marriage. This is the implicit way of China, which has been adhering to the golden mean for thousands of years.

Let alone this time, even eighty years in the future, we will not see many father-in-laws going shirtless for their "little cotton-padded jackets".

Perhaps Tantai Yunshu is the only exception, but there is really nothing that can be done about it. He doesn't understand Tang Dao, but he understands his own daughter. He is too independent-minded. If he is reserved, it would be normal for him not to see each other for two or three years during the war, but don't The next time we meet, my grandson will call me grandpa.

how to say? Those who left were smart people. The purpose of coming had been achieved. There was no need to stay here as Tang Dao, who was more cunning than they expected, continued to deceive them. The businessman's instinct told them that Tang Dao might have good intentions in chatting with them about the war situation, but more importantly The bigger ones may be throwing out bait to attract them to take the bait.

They are here to 'invest', not to tie themselves tightly to a boat.

The ones who didn't leave were also smart people, or in other words, they were smarter people. A mature businessman would not easily put his life and wealth on the gambling table, but now the situation is different. The precarious war situation forces them to find a strong enough backer.

Some things need to be savored, and you need to savor them carefully. Don't look at Tang Dao and say nothing, but no matter the majestic military parade before, or the party that showed the spirit of fighting and iron horses, or that thrilling ground Aerial duels all reflect the strength of the Four Elements Group.

In this era, if you have elite soldiers, you are the Caotou King. Not to mention domestic forces, even the Japanese have to be afraid of you. The fact that the Japanese were able to use more than a dozen fighter planes to sneak attack the Si Xing Regiment is a living example. If they were not extremely afraid of Tang Dao and the Si Xing Regiment, how could they take the risk of going hundreds of miles deep into the war zone to bomb? Wouldn't it be nice for him to use these fighter planes to bomb the troops stationed along the Yellow River?

Coupled with the so-called "guaranteed insurance" proposed by Tang Dao, isn't it like Patriarch Bodhi knocking Monkey Sun three times on the head? If you want to bind and cooperate, you have to figure it out yourself. Those 'smart people' who can't figure it out can naturally leave.

The dozen or so people who were still waiting for the Tang Dao in the thatched shed finally made their decision after carefully tasting it.

In addition to the seven or eight people from the Textile Association who have been attracted by the insurance package, there are also a few more people working in other industries.

When Tang Dao, who had a rosy complexion after drinking several kilograms of white wine, came over, a group of businessmen were drinking tea and talking nonsense!

As soon as they saw Tang Dao approaching, Jia Dongxing, Lao Zhou and the others hurriedly rushed to meet him. They were afraid that running slower would show that they were not sincere enough.

Businessmen are all people who can afford to take things and put them down. Now that they have made a decision, they must show off their attitude. Face is nothing, but money is the boss.

Tang Dao turned his eyes slightly and saw the faces in the team that came out. Tang Dao was still somewhat impressed. It was not because they were more generous, but because these people were working in scarce industries.

One is engaged in mechanical processing, one is in a cement factory, and the other is actually a chemical factory. Most of these factories were originally concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta area. Of course, working in the Central Plains is not as profitable as there, and the economic income is poor. Naturally, they are not as generous as those bosses in the textile and light industry.

However, for Tang Dao, these factories are more important than light industry. They are an indispensable part of the industrial construction he expected. Seeing that they actually chose to stay, he was naturally happy in his heart and his face The smile on the face is also a bit more.

“Everyone, is it possible that the young and handsome young man in my Si Xing Group is attracted by those who are waiting to be married?” Tang Dao asked this question as soon as he sat down.

"Yes, yes, Captain Tang, the reason why we old guys are still staying here is because we want to unite with the Four Elements. If the Four Elements Group needs anything in the future, we old guys have nothing else, and money can still provide some , for the frontline officers and soldiers to kill the enemy," Jia Dongxing looked around at the group of middle-aged uncles looking at him and nodded.

Except for a group of people from the Textile Association that he pulled together, the only ones who can stay here are a few old brothers who are relatively close to him. This time they also listened to his advice and decided to grit their teeth and bet on this vote.

It's not a bet on anything else, it's just a bet that Tang Dao and the Four Elements Regiment will have outstanding military achievements and be able to expand into a brigade and a division in the future. By then, no matter where they are doing business, it will probably be easier if they know that they have this relationship behind them.

And if you want to have a deep bond, marrying a young officer from the Four Elements Regiment is the simplest and easiest way. This means that the chief officers headed by Tang Dao all have their masters. Otherwise, the candidates they are eyeing will be Something has changed.

As for the happiness of a daughter, a niece, or a niece, it is not worth mentioning in the face of family interests.

Fortunately, Commander Tang allowed the young officers to go through a military parade and come to accompany them in person. He still won the favor of many girls to be married, which saved them a lot of trouble.

It can be beneficial to the family, and it can also be mutually satisfying, the best of both worlds.

Jia Dongxing's words also made it very clear. If after we get married, we become one and we need money, we can help. But if we encounter trouble in business, then you, the 'famous general', will have to come forward to help solve the problem. You are now a small person. It doesn't matter, leader, we can wait for you to become a towering tree.

This is how the Four Elements Group showed its majesty today. When they first arrived, Jia Dongxing and his gang would never have had this idea.

"Since all the brothers have this intention, I just asked the staff to make statistics. There are more than 20 lieutenant or above officers in our regiment who are over 20 years old and have not yet been engaged. This is slightly more than the number of everyone here. It gives you more choices. "Tang Dao said while sitting in the main seat, then his face became slightly solemn and he said:

"However, everyone here is also a well-educated person. Before that, Tang Dao still has to remind me that we are soldiers of the country. We have to carry our heads to the battlefield when the military order is given. On the battlefield, bullets have no eyes and horses and leather are wrapped in corpses. There must be quite a few of them. Since the Battle of Songhu, it seems that my Tang Dao has made great achievements, but in fact, it was all due to the orders of my brothers. In the Battle of Songhu alone, hundreds of bones were buried under my command, and later in Jiashan and Jiaxing. , Guangde, thousands of brothers died in the battle, and there are more than 2,000 people in our Fourth Army Regiment. You must think about going there to accompany them. You must think carefully about whether marrying the backbone of our army will delay you ladies. happy future life.

Furthermore, I know what you think. If you want me to help you, you don't necessarily need to do this. I hope that my brothers will reap the beauty of love, but I will never tie their happiness and interests together. "

Tang Dao's very straightforward warning made all the merchants' expressions change. The battle was getting more and more intense. The Four Lines Group might rush to the front line again at some point. If there were casualties, then his own girl would become A widow.

At least one-third of the dozen or so people backed down.

Of course, Tang Dao saw all their little thoughts, but he also looked warm, because that was what he really meant. That kind of profit marriage often looks glamorous, but in fact, life is a mess.

What he wants is for a man and a woman to be in love without their parents being an obstacle. After all, a marriage without the blessing of parents will not be happy.

“Captain Tang, I don't know how we can strengthen our cooperation and ties without this method.” Boss Jiang, who does mechanical finishing, asked cautiously.

"There are many ways. For example, our Four Lines Group can invest in shares, or we can jointly operate, and I can even use underwriting. It depends on whether Boss Jiang is brave enough." Tang Dao looked at the others deeply. Take a look and say.

　　What does Tang Dao mean? Joint operation? Underwriting? Everyone gasped.

“Our Fourth Army Regiment's trip to the north this time was originally just to transport equipment, but with the Japanese offensive, I'm afraid that by the time our regiment arrives, the southbound route will be cut off, so it is more likely to stay on the northern front and fight. Tang Dao said calmly.

"Then our regiment must have a garrison. Because it is located in the north and is far away from our military headquarters, our regiment has many military needs, such as ordnance, ammunition, military rations, etc., and although there are complex factions, the number of troops is still as high as hundreds of thousands. If you have the courage to open a factory under the protection of my Four Elements Group, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money."

A group of merchants looked at each other, and then they realized that Tang Dao's ambition was much greater than they imagined. He actually wanted to seize chestnuts from the fire and make money in North China, which was almost completely occupied by the Japanese army.

“But, North China is now” Jia Dongxing asked cautiously.

“The Japanese army has limited military strength. It can only use its current limited strength to occupy large cities. It has no control over the vast countryside, not only now, but also in the future.” Tang Dao patiently explained to these military blind men. "Therefore, in the future, large-scale battles similar to those in Songhu will not occur in the North China battlefield. The endless small-scale raids will be the mainstream. If we can seize the opportunity there, I am afraid that the things made in your factories will not only be sold to The army can also sell it to the people and even to the Japanese-occupied areas.”

This is not a piece of cake drawn by Tang Dao!

In fact, as the Japanese army continues to advance, it seems that it is occupying more and more land. However, the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force only has a small number of troops. The main force still has to seek decisive battles on the frontal battlefield. It is good to defend big cities with limited troops. Some Only one infantry squadron is stationed in the county seat, and control of the countryside mainly relies on puppet troops.

As for the puppet army, except for a few die-hards, most of them are just a bunch of fagots. They are weak in combat and will collapse in a single blow. There are not a few who are secretly colluding with the Chinese army, and some even start an affair with them. In business, the ordnance and ammunition issued to them by the Japanese were resold to "Ba Ye" in the form of reporting war damage.

The industry and commerce in the Japanese war zone were in decline. Tang Dao remembered that there was a division commander-level boss in that army who opened various processing factories in his jurisdiction. The 'Pegasus' cigarettes operated by him were not only best-selling in major base areas, but also had a good reputation. It even spread as far as the Japanese war zone, so much so that the Japanese army listed Pegasus cigarettes as a prohibited item for sale, and would kill anyone found.

But for cigarettes, it's easy to change the packaging. How can you still rely on the smell of cigarettes to identify them?

Just relying on these "Pegasus" cigarettes, the division can hand over hundreds of thousands of French currency in military expenses to the military every month, which is like a money printing machine.

North China is not as wealthy as Jiangnan, but if these factories can move to the Taihang Mountains, Tang Dao believes that with the army ensuring their safety, the market potential will be huge.

Those who can still stay here are all smart people among smart people. If you think about it carefully, you will know that what Tang Dao said is very reasonable. Countless factories in North China have been relocated or destroyed, leaving an extremely huge market. Whoever seizes the opportunity first will have unlimited possibilities.

However, it is really a matter of picking grains from the fire. If the battle situation is unfavorable, or the battle of the Four Elements Regiment is over, it will be a disaster for the factory.

"Haha, because the war situation is changing rapidly, my small infantry regiment cannot guarantee absolute safety for everyone, but I can guarantee the profits of the factory." Tang Dao smiled slightly and threw out the first candy. "The profit is at least three times what it is now, because our Fourth Army Regiment and our Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army have a total of nearly 40,000 troops, and they can purchase them in our factories, and, as you know, there is another army there. They We need your products more.”

These words completely broke the psychological defenses of the three businessmen represented by Lao Jiang. The factories of the three of them were already between military and civilian use. As long as the army guaranteed procurement, the profits would be guaranteed, let alone return the money. There is such a vast civilian market.

The most attractive thing in this world is money and silk.

Marx said: "Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum. Once there is an appropriate profit, capital becomes bold. If there is 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; with 20% If there is profit, capital will be active; if there is 50% profit, capital will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, capital will dare to trample all human laws; if there is more than 300% profit, capital will dare to commit any crime and even take risks. The danger of hanging one's head.”

In the face of huge profits, so-called safety is not that important.

"Okay! Captain Tang, it's settled. The three of us are waiting for your news. We don't need to use any underwriting. We can just take the shares as you said before. The Fourth Group needs to be responsible for the safety of our factory and so on. It's 30%, no, 40%." Do you think it will be a good share?" Lao Jiang, the leader, looked at the two people following him and said solemnly.

"That won't work!" Tang Dao shook his head.

“Do you want 50%?” Lao Jiang's face became extremely ugly.

But Tang Dao's appetite was much greater than he imagined.

“My Four Elements Group wants 70%!” Tang Dao smiled slightly.

"However, Boss Jiang, listen to me. I don't want these 70% for nothing. First, your products are too backward. You need to update your product line and invest in new technologies. For example, Boss Jiang, your machining can make gun barrels." , but can you make a gun barrel? Can you make an old gun like the one made in Hanyang? Can you make a ZB26 light machine gun?

Your boss Yang's cement factory is good for civilian construction. Can you make cement that can withstand mountain cannons and howitzers? Your boss Zhao's chemical plant can produce sulfuric acid, but can you produce ammonium sulfate or even nitric acid? In addition, farmers need chemical fertilizers to increase production, can you do it?

But I can invest in new machine tools, add technicians to conduct research, and help the factory upgrade.

Secondly, what I want is shares, and I can turn the money I earn into updated equipment to invest in the war against Japan. But I will not interfere too much in the operation and management. You are still the boss and have the largest investment after me. management rights.

Thirdly, in addition to needing this money, our Fourth Army Group also values the absorption capacity of the factories. There are some disabled soldiers in our Fourth Army Group who need to be resettled. They may be disabled, but the characteristics of soldiers can allow them to continue to shine. With these shares, they will treat the factory as their home! "

Tang Dao said this, and Lao Jiang and others understood it. Tang Dao did have a big appetite and hoped to use the three factories to earn military expenses, but he didn't get it for free. He needed a lot of investment. If he really wanted to do what he said Being able to produce new products, the future prospects are much greater than before. Even if it only has 30% of the shares, it is still more than the 60% or 40% originally expected.

"We need to think about this." Lao Jiang said with some difficulty.

"It doesn't matter, this matter involves your family and life, so you should be more cautious." Tang Dao nodded.

“Well, Commander Tang, can our textile factory join in?” Jia Dongxing looked a little jealous.

"You guys should put your main factory in the northwest! That's the cotton-producing area, but if you're interested, you can join forces and put some looms here to set up a branch factory! However, I don't have any textile talents under my command. , We cannot provide product line upgrades for the time being!" Tang Dao waved his hand.

“Okay, then let's try setting up a branch factory in the area where Commander Tang is stationed!” Jia Dongxing refused to give up.

He is also tempted by the big market in North China!

Lao Jiang and the other three went out to discuss it on their own, but the group of people from the Textile Association who had already planned to deeply bind themselves to the Four Lines Group were determined to marry off their daughter.

However, not all of them are in love with each other, and there are also those who have shaved their heads but have **** with others.

For example, Mr. Jia's daughter fell in love with Qian Dazhu, and the old Zhou family's niece set her sights on Zhao Daqiang. It was okay to say that they were in contact, and Qian Dazhu and Zhao Daqiang were quite happy. This Tang Dao I have privately asked those guys who don't care about their lives on the battlefield and are still a little shy in love.

But the niece of the old Liu family in a suit set her sights on Ming Xin, who stunned everyone with a sword dance on the stage.

Tang Dao

Even if a Taoist priest can get married, Mingxin is only seventeen or eighteen! Isn't it too early?

Ming Xin was not given this opportunity, so Tang Dao simply refused it for him.

As for other things, Tang Dao simply said that he would have a day and a half holiday starting at noon, and let the young people solve their own affairs. He would have one day tomorrow to let these young people make an appointment to take a walk in Zhengzhou City. If so, just communicate through letters yourself. If that doesn't work, don't force anyone.

Seeing that Tang Dao had said this, the businessmen naturally couldn't talk anymore, but they had already prepared the contract.

To show their sincerity, these businessmen who had discussed setting up the Henan-Shaanxi United Textile Factory even secretly left 10% of their shares to Tang Dao personally.

Tang Dao glanced at it and acquiesced to this action. He had also thought about the use of the money, which was specially used to accommodate disabled soldiers and the families of martyrs who died in the war. The gap was huge, and he had to find money to stuff it into the bottomless pit.

It may be very hard, but the soldier paid his life, and he has turned priceless into something valuable.

While talking, the three people who were discussing the matter also walked in.

The new technology Tang Dao mentioned made the three of them excited. Especially the fertilizer Tang Dao mentioned was extremely attractive to Boss Zhao of the chemical factory.

He is in the chemical industry and of course he knows that today's fertilizers are completely imported from abroad. Once they can be produced domestically, the profits will be comparable to that of tobacco.

As for why we believe that Tang Dao will have this new technology, it should be a kind of intuition. Just like soldiers on the battlefield, businessmen also have a mysterious confidence in their intuition in the shopping mall.

Businessmen found opportunities to continue making money, and Tang Dao gained support from the textile industry, precision industry, and chemical industry of the province.

Everyone is happy!
