Chapter 307: It is indeed powerful to divert the trouble to others, but fortunately I have been prep
Cao Yuansheng didn't expect that Ding Wei would not be fooled at all. What's more important is that he was rejected in person, which made him feel embarrassed. He was no longer as polite as before. After all, he was used to being flattered, so he had to bow his head in front of the Japanese. He didn't take Ding Wei, the manager, seriously.
"Manager Ding, I admit that the Zhangjiazhuang market is indeed a treasure land. You can find ways to make money from it without any crooked ideas, and the risks are relatively small. But I don't know if you have ever thought about it. The people behind me don't have the ability to eat up the entire market in one bite, but we have the ability to smash the pot. At worst, we won't eat this dinner and smash the pot. Even if you are watching the manager, you can't do anything to us!"
"It's an open secret that there's an independent group behind Zhangjiazhuang Market, but no one has taken the initiative to expose it. But if we can't get the benefits we deserve from it, then we're going to just smash the pot. There are many profitable businesses in the world, and there's no need for us to hang ourselves on the tree of Zhangjiazhuang Market. I'm not threatening you, I'm telling you the truth!"
"Some things have not been exposed, so everyone can pretend to turn a blind eye. But once they are made public, everyone has to stop honestly. Even if there is resentment in the end, I am afraid that the person who hates you the most will be you, Manager Ding. After all, it is because of your ignorance that this result has occurred. I hope Manager Ding will think about it carefully. I will not bother you today. I will exchange it according to the previous rules. As for what will happen in the future, it depends on how the people behind Manager Ding make the decision!"
Cao Yuansheng's aggressive words made Ding Wei extremely angry, but he knew that the other party was telling the truth. The Japanese did not lift the open blockade against them. The reason why the Zhangjiazhuang market was so prosperous was mainly due to the tacit understanding between the two sides. It was also the main reason why Li Yunlong did not provoke a fight in recent days. Otherwise, even if someone was covering it up, it would have been exposed long ago.
"Mr. Cao, I need to report this matter to my superiors. I will give Mr. Cao a reply the day after tomorrow. Let's finish today's transaction first so that I can have time to report this matter!" Ding Wei replied a little depressed.
Cao Yuansheng was not being aggressive, nor did he want to make enemies with Ding Wei. Today he just wanted to take the initiative. As for the courage to ruin the situation, he definitely did not have it. After all, he knew that Ichiro Nakamura was greedy for money. If he really messed up this matter, he would probably have to lose half of his fortune to make Ichiro Nakamura calm down.
After completing the transaction with Cao Yuansheng, Ding Wei did not leave immediately. Instead, he transported the grain obtained from the transaction back to the warehouse overnight. The grain will be sent to the compressed biscuit factory tomorrow to be made into compressed biscuits and stored.
Afterwards, Ding Wei came to the field hospital for dinner and told them about his experience today. He wanted to hear the opinions of the three people and also discuss how to solve the matter next. Cao Yuansheng was clearly looking for trouble, and if they didn't work out a plan, it might really affect the subsequent plan of stockpiling food.
Li Yunlong is now a patient, but he lives a very good life, eating two eggs a day, and his meals are better than those of the other three. He peeled the eggshells happily and said with a smile on his face, "This Cao Yuansheng is really fucking insidious and cunning. He wants to use us to attack our competitors and divert the trouble to others."
"From this incident, we can see that the Japanese are not united, and they are still fighting for their own interests. This is a point that we can take advantage of. We can't get involved at this time, but can only be bystanders. Once we intervene, it will simply bring trouble upon ourselves. I won't do such a stupid thing!"
"Don't be fooled by Cao Yuansheng's aggressive attitude. He is actually very weak inside. I am sure that this old guy is just pretending to be powerful. As long as we are tough, he will definitely compromise with us. But this little devil Nakamura Ichiro has a big appetite, otherwise he would not have sent Cao Yuansheng here. Lao Xu is also involved in this. We still have to give him some face, otherwise, it will be difficult for Lao Xu to do business in the future!"
"But releasing water is one thing, but it also requires skills. I have discussed this with the college students before, and they gave me an idea, which is to break it with benefits! The price of salt is still a little high, and the price of grain in the market is falling very fast. The autumn grain will be on the market soon, and everyone is selling old grain. This is the best opportunity for us. If we want to get more food, we must spend a lot of money. What's more, the money and paper money are not of much use to us, and exchanging them for food will give us peace of mind!"
"We have seized a lot of military notes from the devils before, and we have to spend them quickly. The damn devils are plundering the occupied areas more and more severely, and the speed of military notes depreciation is beyond our imagination. We can use them to buy things at this time. At most, we can use 90% of the face value. I believe that the profit will definitely attract those businessmen. What's more, the devils will not show mercy when they poach our customers. This is actually a good thing for us."
"As for the dollars and gold bars in our hands, we must not keep them in our hands. We must spend them quickly to buy more scarce raw materials. Finally, we will have to keep tens of thousands of dollars for our daily operations. As long as we have food to eat and clothes to wear, the Japanese blockade of us will not have any effect. Instead, it will make us stronger. We can also take this opportunity to train our troops!"
"Next, I will tell you how to deal with Cao Yuansheng. That is to increase the price of grain by 50% compared to the current market price, reduce the price of salt by half, increase the price of copper by 10%, increase the price of cotton cloth by 10%, increase the price of tung oil by 20%, increase the price of tungsten ore by 30%, and increase the price of cotton by 20%. The only thing that will decrease is the price of salt. The prices of other commodities have all been greatly increased. Overall, the purchasing power of our medicines seems to have decreased a bit, but for us, it is a great thing!"
"This will make merchants try every possible means to transport more food to trade with us. Only in this way can we solve our upcoming food crisis! Previously, the university students were prepared to accept 20 disaster victims, but according to my and Lao Kong's calculations, this number must at least double, which leaves us with a large gap in our original preparations."
"As the weather gets colder day by day, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims mean hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed. We have to take care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. This is a huge burden, but no matter how difficult it is, we have to take it up!"
"The Arsenal has built a new steel structure factory and a woodworking factory to build houses for the winter. The winter in northwest Shanxi is very cold, and we have to heat the houses. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will not survive this winter. There are so many things to worry about."
"I estimate that it will take another seven or eight days before I can be discharged from the hospital. Lao Kong will leave tomorrow to pick him up. Lao Zhao will be responsible for looking after the house, and Lao Ding will have to keep an eye on the market. That is the hen that lays our golden eggs. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we will have no choice but to flee!"
The three had no objection to Li Yunlong's decision. There were many things to do in the base area, and they were busy until late at night every day. Today was no exception. After discussing things with Li Yunlong, the three left the field hospital and continued to build houses overnight to ensure that the second batch of victims would have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Compared to the busy Zhao Gang and others, Lin Zhenhua was leisurely at this time. When they came this time, they were very well prepared. They brought four three-wheeled motorcycles, as well as five days' worth of fresh water and food.
After nine transport planes landed safely on the grass outside the city, Lin Zhenhua led more than 20 people under his command to deliver fresh water and food to the ancient city. They were busy until after eight o'clock and finally completed the delivery of the fresh water and food.
"Xiao Liu, arrange for everyone to eat as soon as possible and rest immediately after eating. We still need to bring back the fuel tomorrow and get the plane airborne as soon as possible. I plan to return the day after tomorrow. We must build the transfer station in the shortest possible time. When I come next time, I will bring another squad of soldiers with me."
"After three or four consecutive transports, two platoons of soldiers will be stationed here. On the one hand, they are responsible for guarding the fuel and cargo, and on the other hand, they are responsible for the maintenance of the fighter planes. These tasks must be completed within ten days. According to our current progress, it takes three days to go back and forth. It is estimated that the fuel stored by then will be enough for us to go back and forth twice. I can safely lead the transport team to get rubber, thus completely opening up the entire air transport line."
The next day, Lin Zhenhua got up early and started to work after breakfast. After all, there is strength in numbers, and with the help of handy transportation tools, they managed to transport the fuel back in just one day.
"Xu Dali, the nine of you will be stationed here. Help us refuel the transport plane. We will return early tomorrow morning. I will tell you how to refuel quickly. When I came here, I deliberately left a refueling port in front of the oil barrel and also provided a dumping device. Two people working together can easily add 50 liters of oil. The operation is very simple and does not require much effort at all."
"When conditions permit, I will change to an electric one, which will be more convenient. However, given our current situation, we cannot do this for the time being. Be careful when refueling, and be sure to aim closely at the refueling port before unscrewing the cap. Otherwise, once the fuel leaks, it will cause us huge trouble. In addition to taking time to clean up, more importantly, it will bring serious flight hazards. This matter must be handled with caution. Follow the operating procedures I taught you, step by step, and never omit any steps, otherwise problems will easily arise!"
Lin Zhenhua was afraid that something might go wrong during refueling, so he called Xu Dali and nine others over, watched them operate from start to finish, and arranged for people to be on duty tomorrow before going back to rest!
