Since Wanxian opened its port, some British people have set up customs here to collect customs duties on goods coming and going. It was not until the 17th year of the Republic of China that the Nanjing National Government took back customs autonomy. Wanxian is the second largest commercial port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River after Chongqing. Every year, 80% of all kinds of materials entering the southwest region are placed on the shore from the two major ports of Chongqing and Wanxian through the Yangtze River waterway and then transported to various places.

Chen Xiuwen did not speak, but looked at Zheng Huaishan with a smile. There were three wharfs in Wanxian County, all in the defense zone of Shen Xiuwen's first battalion. In addition to the freight and passenger terminals, there was also a military supplies wharf dedicated to the 88th Division. Chen Xiuwen knew very well that Zheng Huaishan's friend was willing to go out to 500 oceans to borrow a ship of cargo from the military supplies wharf. There were only two reasons: the materials on the ship were either contraband or smuggled.

Zheng Huaishan felt a little nervous when he was seen by Chen Xiuwen. After this period of running-in, Chen Xiuwen, the commander, was not only easy to talk, but also trusted him very much, which made Zheng Huaishan, the deputy battalion commander who had been in office but not power for many years, more or less found a feeling. However, with the power in his hands, Zheng Huaishan began to feel restless again, especially after arriving in Wanxian, he met several local merchants in Wanxian and began to use his special identities to do some small business and carry some private goods. This time, a boss of a local business in Wanxian came to Zheng Huaishan and promised to borrow a thousand oceans to unload a ship of goods from the military supplies wharf. Zheng Huaishan was moved, but because the military supplies wharf guarding the military supplies wharf was in a row and two rows, and the platoon leader Cheng De'an was also a hardcore confidant of Chen Xiuwen. Zheng Huaishan had to come to Chen Xiuwen.

"Battery Commander, don't worry, my friend's cargo is definitely not a contraband, it's all cotton and sugar. There are not many goods and can be unloaded in about an hour." Zheng Huaishan saw that Chen Xiuwen was reluctant to express his opinion, and explained with a tough bullet.

"Old Zheng, your friend's cargo is probably a private cargo? This way, can you arrange for me to meet you, your friend?" Chen Xiuwen said with a smile.

Zheng Huaishan was shocked when he heard this. He thought that Chen Xiuwen was not satisfied with the five hundred oceans he had reported and wanted to eat big heads. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he finally did not refuse and hurriedly said, "Okay, battalion commander, I'll make arrangements now."

Chen Xiuwen has long heard of Zheng Huaishan's small-scale fights, but seeing that Zheng Huaishan worked very hard and never dared to deduct food and salary, Chen Xiuwen turned a blind eye and refused to pursue it. Besides, due to the low military salary in this era, the army even actively participated in smuggling and reselling military supplies. Zheng Huaishan was also generating income for the troops. At the same time, he did not mean to make things difficult for Zheng Huaishan, and he did not want to eat big heads. Hundreds and thousands of dollars of oceans were not in the eyes of his second young master Chen.

In fact, this time, Chen Xiuwen wanted to make some preparations in the future of the anti-Japanese rear of the future, so that his family could have a shelter. However, when the old man and his father-in-law sent the 60,000 yuan, and with his own savings, Chen Xiuwen also wanted to take the opportunity to do some business. After all, there are many places to spend money in the future, and he didn't want to ask for money at home. However, firstly, the troops had a lot of things to change defense, and secondly, he had not yet thought about what business to do. The boss of the smuggling business that Zheng Huaishan introduced to him today attracted his attention. Meeting him, touching the details, inquire about the current market in Wanxian, and perhaps there is a possibility of cooperation. After all, Chen Xiuwen can't do business by himself, and he also needs to find a more reliable partner.

That night, in a relatively quiet restaurant by the river, Chen Xiuwen met Pan Kangliang, the owner of Tongda Trading Company. Pan Kangliang was not old and looked in his early thirties. He had worked as a young man in the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Company for several years. After making an unexpected fortune, he returned to his hometown to open such Tongda Trading Company. Because he had seen the world in the Great Shanghai of Shili Foreign Affairs, and his mind was alive, the business of the Trading Company was also booming. After the 88th Division entered Wanxian County, Pan Kangliang quickly joined the line with Zheng Huaishan, the deputy battalion commander of the 528th Regiment, who was responsible for guarding the wharf, and earned some private goods that Zheng Huaishan brought from Nanjing at a price much higher than the market price. When the time was right, Pan Kangliang asked Zheng Huaishan to use the military supplies terminal controlled by the first battalion to enter a ship of private goods, and drove a hard fee of one thousand oceans.

However, he did not expect that Chief Chen Xiuwen would meet him personally. Pan Kangliang knew from Zheng Huaishan who Chen Xiuwen was, and he also knew the status of the Shen family in Shanghai. Pan Kangliang was flattered and was a little uneasy when Chen Xiuwen suddenly wanted to see him. He didn't know what purpose the second master of the Shen family was.

"I'm afraid the private goods Boss Pan brought this time is a lot of profits?" After everyone met and greeted each other, Chen Xiuwen blew the tea leaves in the cup and took a sip, and said straight to the point.

Pan Kangliang was shocked. He gave Zheng Huaishan a thousand oceans of hard work. He didn't know how much Zheng Huaishan reported to Chen Xiuwen. Chen Xiuwen's tone obviously thought that the money was too little. He looked at Zheng Huaishan and quickly stood up and said, "The camp is too good. Sichuan is not as good as Nanjing and Shanghai. The cargo is only 20% profitable. Kang Liang also relied on the camp and the deputy camp to make a living. If the camp can be generous and convenient, Kang Liang is willing to add another five hundred to the original."

Chen Xiuwen asked straight to the point, but Pan Kangliang didn't go around in any circle and answered directly. However, Boss Pan's expression seemed very vivid. He was respectful at first, then bitter, and finally said that he had added five hundred feet to his tiptoe.

Chen Xiuwen didn't say that, and still drank tea with a cup.

"Two thousand. Add two thousand. The camp is indebted. If this price exceeds this price, I can only go to customs declaration according to normal procedures." Seeing that Chen Xiuwen did not speak, Pan Kangliang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said.

In fact, this price plus the one thousand promised to Zheng Huaishan before was almost approaching the tariffs on his ship of cargo.

Chen Xiuwen was a little surprised that Pan Kangliang quoted this price. He increased his investment in business negotiations bit by bit. Just now, Pan Kangliang looked very painful. In the blink of an eye, he actually quoted such a high price.

"Boss Pan, it seems that you are very sincere." Chen Xiuwen put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.

Pan Kangliang smiled bitterly and bowed to Chen Xiuwen and said, "The camp is such a good method. I hope the camp will take care of it in the future."

Zheng Huaishan had been sitting next to him and didn't dare to interrupt. Now, when Chen Xiuwen said that he agreed, he quickly smiled and calmed down his atmosphere: "Boss Pan is still happy. Everyone will be friends in the future, so take care of each other and take care of each other."

Chen Xiuwen glanced at Zheng Huaishan and said, "Old Zheng, the price code proposed by Boss Pan was not five hundred oceans, right?"

Hearing this, Zheng Huaishan's smile suddenly froze. Logically speaking, Pan Kangliang had such a high price, even if Chen Xiuwen knew, there was no need to pursue Zheng Huaishan how much he had taken. After all, Zheng Huaishan was also considered an introducer.

Zheng Huaishan felt embarrassed and looked very embarrassed. He didn't expect that the battalion commander, who was usually very easy to talk to, did not leave any face with him in front of Pan Kangliang today, and turned against him as soon as he said he was. But he did not dare to confront him in person, so he had to smile and said, "The camp's gaze is really like a torch. It's me that I am not right. The hard work that Boss Pan promised before was one thousand oceans."

"One Thousand Oceans? I said Lao Zheng, you are quite good at fishing. Have you forgotten to hurt after healing the scars?" Chen Xiuwen snorted coldly.

When Zheng Huaishan heard this, his face turned as if he was not concerned about his face. He quickly stood up from his seat and said, "I dare not, I dare not, Huaishan will never dare to hide anything from the camp in the future."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. The camp seat, don't get me wrong. I gave the five hundred oceans to the deputy camp seat......" Pan Kangliang saw that the other two people were trembling, and as a businessman, he couldn't afford to offend any of the two people in front of him. He didn't want to spend money and offend others, so he quickly smoothed out the situation.

But before he could finish his words, Chen Xiuwen waved his hand and interrupted him, and smiled and said, "Boss Pan, I think you have misunderstood. In fact, I don't want to take you a penny, nor do I allow my subordinates to take you a penny."

As soon as Chen Xiuwen said this, not only shocked Pan Kangliang, but even Zheng Huaishan, who was lowering his head, immediately raised his head to look at Chen Xiuwen.

"Zhang Zun, do you mean you don't want to help Kang Liang?" Pan Kangliang asked immediately with frustration on his face.

Chen Xiuwen smiled slightly and said, "Boss Pan, you should know who I am? I heard that you have been in Shanghai for a few years. Will my second master of the Shen family take these thousands of dollars seriously? I have helped you, but I don't accept any money, so I'll make friends."

Hearing this, Pan Kangliang suddenly turned from worry to joy, but he was also a smart person, of course he knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Although he didn't know what Chen Xiuwen wanted, he thought that he was just a small character. If he could get in touch with Shen Xiuwen, it would be okay to suffer a little loss. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yingzu Gaoyi, if there is anything that Yingzu needs Kang Liang's service, please give me some advice."
