Tang Dao, a local tycoon, paid with gold, which made the old man from Shanxi feel very sad, but in the end he still gave him some thin noodles.
Within two days after picking up Zhang Kai from prison, he first went to the Shanxi Provincial Bank to exchange another ten thousand taels of gold, which was a wealth of more than 2 million yuan, and there were 50 boxes alone. The carriages responsible for transporting these large ocean boxes were lined up from the entrance of the bank to the end of the alley, a total of 10 carriages.
More than 2 million silver dollars, enough for the old man to earn more than 10,000 silver dollars in tax points in vain, but there was still an episode in the middle, which raised the old man's blood pressure, which had finally calmed down yesterday.
But I really can't blame Tang Tuanzuo. After all, it was the old man's fault.
Although the Jin Provincial Bank was notified in advance and had already prepared some cash, the notice from the government was unclear and did not make it clear who Tang Dao was. It just said that he was an army colonel.
As the largest financial institution in Jin Province, Jin Provincial Bank can be regarded as an old man's money bag in a sense. How can the president be an ordinary person? That was the old man's direct nephew. Not to mention the colonel, even the four great Vajras under the old man's command all maintained good relations with him.
Of course, I didn't take it too seriously. I didn't receive him personally, I just sent a deputy manager level to receive Tang Dao.
And the reason why the bad-legged deputy manager was able to climb to this position was by observing people's actions. Hearing that the notice came from the inner government, and seeing that his boss was not very cold, he quickly imagined a big drama in his mind.
Over the past two decades, as the old man's power has grown, the number of clansmen, tribesmen, and township parties who depend on him for life has grown to a large number. They are basically all deployed in various departments and armies in Jin Province. Such a huge number Of course, the forces will not be monolithic.
In general, the power is divided into three groups. One group is the clan represented by the middle-aged woman, which is also the most powerful. The other group is the old man's in-laws, who are considered foreign relatives, and the last group is the old man's friends when he was a boy. friends.
The bank president's mother is the old man's biological sister, but there is a saying in China that "a married daughter throws water away". Her surnames are all people with foreign surnames, so they are naturally considered to be related by in-laws, and cannot be said to be related to lineage. Let's fight to the death! But it's also the kind of people who secretly try to get in each other's way, making people feel unhappy.
A shrewd person like the old man from Shanxi would not know this, but he used the ancient emperor's skills to govern his family, established a tripartite system, and played a game of checks and balances.
But it was this man's overt and covert methods that let his clansmen and in-laws know that it was okay to fight openly and secretly, as long as they didn't make it a joke for outsiders. After all, in the entire Jin Province, the most powerful ones were the four kings under his command. Control Jin Province from civil affairs, economy, military and other fields.
It was against this background that the deputy manager, who was imagining the drama, took it for granted that a certain colonel just hugged the lap of the old man's clan and used connections to exchange for silver.
As a result, Tang Tuanzuo, who had basically completed all his tasks in Lafen, encountered the legendary neglect and contempt.
The exchange rate is businesslike, but your lazy attitude makes you feel like your customers are God. The sponsor's father didn't even grab a cup of tea, which made a certain group member suddenly feel like the three on his collar badge. The gold star is a fake feeling, saying that the service attitude of the four major banks in the future is poor. Compared with this shabby bank, their service should be at least five stars!
It doesn't matter if the service attitude is poor, these Tang Dao can tolerate it. The key is that Tang Dao asked the deputy manager in a suit and tie whether the bank currently has enough cash, and he will withdraw it all today.
"Colonel Tang, as long as you can come up with enough gold today, if the cash is not enough, can you move all the bank vaults?" The deputy manager glanced at Tang Dao in a funny way and replied in an almost contemptuous tone.
This made Tang Tuanzuo angry. He didn't say much. He gave an order to Peng Chong outside, and a group of cavalry carrying simple bamboo baskets broke into the bank. If it weren't for Linfen, which has tens of thousands of troops stationed there, , the terrified assistant manager thought the enraged army colonel was going to commit an armed robbery.
It's just that there are more than 20 special packaging for 'local products' – what the **** are bamboo baskets? Could it be that sweet potatoes and corn can also be turned into gold?
If you are unlucky, the director will definitely remind you that Tang Tuanzuo doesn't seem to care about the appearance, but the connotation is really rich. When he handed over the cash to the Ordnance Department, he mentioned this thing.
But the inside is really full of neatly arranged large yellow croakers, which can blind a person's eyes when a lamp shines on them.
As a result, the deputy manager was in tragedy.
It was a real 10,000 taels of gold. Halfway through the appraisal, several appraisers at the bank were sweating profusely. The deputy manager knew that he had hit a brick wall and quietly sent someone to inform his boss.
Having too much money to a certain extent can really make people tremble. The three gold stars on Tang Dao's collar badge were originally ordinary, but now, in the eyes of the deputy manager, they were really shining.
However, not everyone can despise Tang Tuanzuo. Tang Tuanzuo, who delivered the gold on the spot, demanded that the cash be withdrawn immediately. Otherwise, according to the deputy manager, the bank vault would be emptied.
This almost made the deputy manager cry.
Tang Tuanzuo did not bother to scare this little man with murderous intent, but the fifty cavalry standing neatly outside the door, all loaded with ammunition, were not decorations. They all had box cannons in their waists, carbines on their backs, and war horses. The master with the saber in his pouch.
The bank president who originally had no intention of receiving Tang Dao knew that something was wrong when he heard that the army colonel actually took out a huge sum of tens of thousands of taels of gold, and all of it was newly minted gold bars.
However, this man was smart enough and immediately called to find out Tang Dao's whereabouts. This inquiry was not a big deal and he was almost frightened out of his wits. He could ignore Tang Dao's previous achievements, and no matter how awesome the Four Elements Group was, they couldn't beat him. However, Tang Dao's commotion at the city gate the day before yesterday impressed the dignitaries of Jin Province deeply on Tang Dao.
This is not a peaceful time. Who are these powerful people who rely on their bosses to **** the blood of the poor people most afraid of? They are afraid of generals who lead troops, and they are even more afraid of generals like Tang Dao who lead troops without hesitation. .
They have followed the old man for more than ten or even twenty years. They know best who the old man is. He is almost a man who has the word "profit" carved on his forehead. In troubled times, he will obviously prefer those rough guys who can help him lead troops to fight. Guys, once a conflict breaks out, they will most likely be the ones who get the blame.
Tang Dao, who didn't even have the face of a brigade commander, whipped his in-laws half to death. If this caused a fuss, he, the bank president, would probably be nothing more than a baby - he could pinch him as much as he wanted.
The deputy manager who was almost crying with fear saw Tang Dao's face getting darker and darker, and the riding crop in his hand was hitting his palm harder and harder. His face was so frightened that he finally waited until his boss showed up. , thinking that I finally had a backer, I just breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did he know that the thigh in his eyes - a certain old man's nephew was even more miserable than he had just shown. With an almost flattering smile on his face, he trotted up with his waist bent and held the Tang Dao with both hands. He shouted: "Captain Tang, I have admired your name for a long time. It's no wonder that the young one came late!" But it directly kicked the heart of the man in the dog-eyed suit into the abyss.
He knew the temperament of his big-hearted man, who was in charge of the most important financial institution in Jin Province. He was always very arrogant. Even General Fu, who came to the bank yesterday to withdraw his military pay, was polite to both parties. This would never happen. In an almost humble and flattering situation, could it be that there is someone behind this little colonel that even an old man from Shanxi would be afraid of?
The man in the suit has a super strong brain power.
His structure is not as big as his own, but the respectful and humble one knows that Tang Dao does not have a high military rank and does not have many troops, but he is a fool. It doesn't matter if he goes to live with his uncle, if his fifth sister, who has always disliked him, adds fuel to the fire, I'm afraid he will be in bad luck.
So, when Tang Dao said jokingly that if he couldn't get cash today, he would have to empty the treasury according to the deputy manager's wishes, the president finally knew the source of Tang Dao's anger.
The two loudmouths gave the man in the dog-eyed suit a **** nose, and then replied decisively to Tang Dao: "This time it is our bank's problem. In order to make up for the loss of Captain Tang, the exchange rate will be the same as yesterday's Shanghai Concession. Bank of the West announces ratio execution.”
Although the city of Shanghai fell, everything was business as usual in the Western Concession, and all financial industries were operating as usual. Originally, according to the regulations of the Shanxi Provincial Bank, the exchange rate was based on the exchange rate announced by the city of Shanghai a week ago. However, as the exchange rate fluctuated this week, U.S. dollars were exchanged for several days in a row. The exchange rate for oceans rose sharply, almost 0.5 percentage points. Let me tell you something that everyone can understand. If one US dollar knife can be exchanged for 4 oceans in the past, it can now be exchanged for a little more than 4 dollars. If calculated based on the Tang Dao that can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of gold, it can be much more. Exchange for 10,000 oceans.
Just right, it offsets most of the financial tax losses.
Tang Tuanzuo has always been able to stretch and bend. Isn't it because he was looked down upon for not having a cup of tea? It is actually worth tens of thousands of oceans. If something like this happens every day, Tang Tuanzuo would like to be despised like this every day. After being despised, he will be given ten thousand oceans. The brothers will have military expenses, subsidies and pensions. no?
"As expected of me, I am the first banker in Jin Province. I am very satisfied with your service. I have made this decision happily." Tang Tuanzuo, who turned angry and happy, smiled and held the hand of this relatively decisive banker. With a little effort.
If he doesn't put in any effort, Tang Tuanzuo is afraid that others won't feel the sincerity of his praise!
A certain bank manager felt as if his hand was about to be pinched off, but a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
Who said that the head of the Tang Dynasty was stupid? Look, isn't this easy to talk about? After being so angry, Ten Thousand Dayang was solved.
Anyway, according to the rules, this is not a violation of regulations. Tang Dao is a big customer! Big customers always have some privileges. They ask for exchange according to yesterday's exchange rate. It is normal for the bank to make concessions. Isn't it a kind of support for the frontline anti-war soldiers?
This thought was very beautiful, but when he happily reported the news of the successful exchange of ten thousand taels of gold to his uncle, the old man from Shanxi was not as happy as he imagined when he saw the huge amount. Instead, his face turned dark. Several points.
Although he knows the old man fairly well, for example, he knows that the old man's demand for gold is much higher than that of Da Yang. The old man had prepared the worst for the situation. If the Japanese army was strong, it would be far more convenient to escape with the gold than across the ocean.
But he would have thought that the old man was heartbroken over the loss of tens of thousands of oceans! If Tang Dao had said that he wanted to exchange 20,000 taels of gold, he would not have taken the initiative to give Tang Dao a financial tax break.
Looking at the old man's 'menopausal'-like displeasure, he waited to report the exchange details. He didn't dare to hide anything and could only honestly report the details of the exchange rate that he decided to give to a VIP customer.
The old man from Shanxi smashed his beloved purple clay pot.
Good guy, it's easy for me to make some money! Why am I surrounded by people like you? This was how the old man felt about OS at that time.
Yesterday, Tang Dao came up with a move called "Li Peach on behalf of Zombie", which caused him to lose tens of thousands of oceans out of thin air. It was heartbreaking enough, but after all, it was because Tang Dao had a quick mind and used the information gap to find the bug and figured it out on his own. Yes, the old man can't be too harsh on the Director of Ordnance who has been with him for almost twenty years, just punish him to stand for a day and vent his anger.
But today was good. What was particularly good was that his nephew handed him a knife, allowing Tang Dao to cut another piece of fat from his barren thigh.
This good guy came from that bastard? The old Shanxi man who had just smashed his beloved purple clay pot and quickly realized that he had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars again stared at his nephew for a full minute, staring at the financial boss in the ten-degree weather. Sweating profusely, he finally summoned up enough energy to yell, "Get out! Get to the door and stand there for me!"
It turns out that after the dignified director of the Ordnance Department was on guard outside the old man's courtyard for a whole day, the big boss in charge of the financial industry in Shanxi Province came to take over.
That stop lasted all night.
Not to mention that my legs almost broke when I stood up, the key was the cold! Even though it's almost May, it's really cold on a spring night in the north! The temperature definitely did not exceed 8 degrees. If the manager of a certain bank, who was only wearing a suit, had not given him a jacket out of fear that something would happen to him due to the cold, he would have become seriously ill.
This old man belongs to the government. After all the money was taken in, it was all given out again thanks to the hard work of the old men.
That's not the case. The hundred taels of gold sent by Tang Dao earlier were worth twenty-four thousand. The Ordnance Department and the bank made a fierce operation, saved another twenty-five thousand, and made a huge profit of one thousand oceans.
An old man from Shanxi who loves money as much as his life can still watch someone from Tang who has taken advantage of him still "raging" in Linfen City and "showing weakness", he can really endure it again and again.
'The meat is still rotten in the pot! ' This was probably the old man's last reason to comfort himself.
Tang Dao has a lot of money in his hands that can be consumed. Those flowers are really lifeless. To use Tang Dao's own words: "If you don't spend what you earn from the old man, he will get heart disease."
Arms, equipment, and steel raw materials have all been purchased. Of course, Tang Dao sent out heavy troops and cavalry to purchase some daily necessities.
If necessities such as white flour, rice, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, meat, and cloth are must-selects in the list, cigarettes, wine, tea, etc. are also commonly used by the troops, but even sesame candy, peanut kernels, and peanut brittle If all the snacks were purchased, the big guys in Linfen City who were paying attention to Tang Dao could only express their feelings by being dumbfounded.
In their eyes, Tang Dao was no longer a gangster, but a lunatic.
A bunch of poor soldiers can do well if they have some food and clothing. Why are you buying snacks? What about hairpins, hairpins, rouge, facial oil? You are going to open the brothel into the mountains!
Tang Tuanzuo's 'overbearing president' personality, of course, is that I don't want you to think about it, I just want to think about it, and it won't be affected at all.
The number of female soldiers recruited by the medical and communications companies in the Fourth Army Regiment has exceeded 100. During normal training periods, there is also a half-day off a week. Why not let the female soldiers dress up in their daily clothes and go back to see their parents?
Besides, the war lasted for a long time, and there were several New Year's celebrations in the middle. No performances or other performances were allowed. It was rare to come to the big city for purchasing, so Tang Tuanzuo had to think about it more often.
The soldiers holding the Dayang did not lower the price at all, and basically asked for as much as they could get. In just three days, the consumption amount exceeded 150,000 Dayang, and the Jinsui Army guarding the city had envious eyes.
Look at the magnanimity of other officers, and then compare it with your own. Porridge can be used as a mirror. The steamed buns are all black, and there is not even a hint of oil in the meal. It is really infuriating to compare people with others.
After a round of crazy purchasing, prices in Linfen City were almost raised.
It wasn't until the baggage troops of the Fourth Line Regiment arrived and loaded the huge supplies into the truck that the old man from Shanxi, who was already a little numb, patted his chest and sent this plague **** away.
If he didn't leave, he was worried that the stimulated defenders in Linfen City would mutiny. In comparison, Tang Dao's advantage of 20,000 yuan was nothing.
But then again, the Japanese are so rich! Then Southeast Shanxi will have to do a lot for him! Not only the 80th Group Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Northwest Army can participate, but the Shanxi-Sui Army also gets a share of the pie!
The old Shanxi man with a quick mind was stimulated by the local tyrant Tang, and he actually made his own little calculation.
Ten days later, as the 17th Division of the Northwest Army was transferred to southeastern Shanxi, an infantry division of the Shanxi-Sui Army also followed and stationed in the Taihang Mountains.
Together with the original infantry division of the 22nd Group Army, the 921st Division of the 80th Group Army and the regiment directly affiliated with the group army, plus the Four Lines Regiment, the apparent strength of the entire Chinese army in southeastern Shanxi is as high as 70,000.
Thousands of miles away, in the Battle of Xuzhou, after continuous fierce fighting, both China and Japan were exhausted. Both the frontline soldiers and the rear command departments had realized that this battle could no longer achieve the goal they originally wanted to achieve.
Then let's play some ball! With this tacit understanding, the Battle of Xuzhou comes to an end!
