Chapter 819 Getting drunk!
Seeing that Tang Dao was so confident, he even developed a new system for paying insurance premiums and paying compensation. Although the insurance premiums were slightly higher, as long as the factory was not ruined, there would be a profit after all. The owners of textile factory who were in a hurry were still excited.
These people are all human beings. As long as Tang Dao can ensure that there will be no military disasters, it will have eliminated the biggest hidden worries. As for how to coordinate the relationship between the local military and political affairs when going to the northwest, as long as money is used, it can push the devil. This routine is not too simple for them who have been in the shopping mall for a long time.
People in Henan Province had a good alcohol tolerance, so they naturally toasted Tang Dao. There were no three or five cents of wine glasses here, all of which were for meals. Even if they only poured the bottom of the bowl, there were at least one or two taels. Tang Dao refused everyone and the wine was dry.
As the saying goes: wine tastes depends on character! The reason why Chinese people talk about business is to complete it between cups and cups in the winery is actually not the amount of alcohol, but the attitude of drinking.
It’s hard to eat wine, but you can’t even overcome alcohol. What else can customers expect you to do? It’s such a simple truth.
Seeing that Tang Dao was so heroic, the merchants led by Jia Dongxing increased their trust in Tang Dao.
There were also smart people during the meal. When they saw that Tang Dao was fighting with a group of people from the Textile Association, they couldn't help but be jealous. They took the opportunity of toasting to inquire. They heard that Tang Dao pointed out a clear road to the Textile Association to move the factory to the northwest, but their thoughts were also moved.
They asked Tang Dao to give them a trick to see where they went. The merchants here had their own businesses, including grain stores, clothing stores, horse stores, tobacco factories, and even one who opened brothels... Tang Dao was so overwhelmed.
The textile industry can move to the northwest because it is rich in cotton and has no shortage of raw materials. The cost can not increase but decrease, but these service industries require a large population.
Just the barren place in the northwest where trees don’t grow, it 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 Xuzhou Battle was over in March. Although this battle was severely damaged by the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army in North China won a great victory on the local battlefield, but it was still strategically failed.
As the Japanese army, who were unwilling to fail, continued to mobilize troops and generals, the Fifth War Zone began to retreat strategically, and the two major transportation arteries of the Longhai Line and Pinghan Line finally fell into the enemy. After the Japanese army obtained these two important transportation lines, they began to use their transportation forces. The troops will directly aim at the current Jiangxia, the central China region will soon be out of stock.
These businessmen are so eager to move their industries away, because on the one hand, they are also interested in not wanting to be slaves in the country to do business under the Japanese. These are all worthy of encouragement.
In the later period, the Japanese occupied the big city without any animal behavior like Jinling. It was not that they found their conscience unwilling to massacre again, but that they needed the industry and commerce in the city to generate value to generate blood and reduce the burden on the country for their expanding war behavior.
If a considerable part of the industry and commerce in the city can be moved away before they occupy it, it will also be a blow to Japan.
"Although Sichuan Province is located in the southwest and surrounded by mountains and inconvenient transportation, it also creates its strategic security. Moreover, it is densely populated, and the population of Sichuan Province alone reaches 60 million!" Tang Dao said his reason.
Of course, in order not to be shocking, Tang Dao didn't say that it would take long before the government departments that were temporarily staying in Jiangxia would move from Jiangxia to eastern Sichuan, and a large number of factories, schools and other large populations would follow.
According to statistics, in 1933, there were only 415 factories and manual workshops in Shancheng. After the outbreak of the war, 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; and more than 50 universities, becoming the first in the country.
In addition, there are refugees from North China and East China who were forced to leave their homes due to the outbreak of war. This is a number of population migrations in the history of the Chinese nation. No one can count the specific number of this large-scale population migration, but according to the most conservative estimate, it is about 20 million.
The first stop for refugees who left their hometown was to temporarily accompany Jiangxia. Then, as the war progressed, people continued to flee to Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan Province, which was full of mountains. The capital of Shancheng alone poured in more than one million people, and the migrated population accounted for more than half of the original population of Shancheng.
Although Shancheng was the capital as the capital in November last year, after Tang Dao said this, the merchants were relieved, and some people who were still hesitating also had a little more determination to move and leave.
Although Tang Dao did not say it clearly, they smelled the smell of even Tang Dao, a iron-blooded soldier who resolutely resisted the war, was not optimistic about the current situation.
Tang Dao did not favor one or the other, and Lei Xiong, Gu Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan each carried wine bowls in the VIP client area, giving these "celebrities" enough face.
When they returned to Jia Dongxing's table, they had reached the stage of full drinking and eating. Seeing Tang Dao return, a group of bosses asked Tang Dao to return to the main seat, and re-placed Tang Dao's dishes and chopsticks, and poured wine. Then, a group of uncles looked at Tang Dao with strange looks.
This made Tang Dao think in his mind that he had something to ask for! Could it be that after discussing it, he felt that the "insurance fee" was high?
Logically speaking, Tang Dao gave this group of textile industry tycoons time to discuss. They could list some details and clauses now, and then listen to Tang Dao's opinions and amend them, and sign a contract before leaving.
They obtained sufficient guarantees and moved the textile factory to a certain place in the northwest. Tang Dao even helped them think of the city. Xianyang, on the edge of Chang'an, is both in the Guanzhong Plain and not far from northern Shaanxi. It is convenient to transport 100,000 sets of military uniforms a year, regardless of whether they are blocked or not.
Yes, Tang Dao didn't plan to ask for the "insurance fee" of up to 100,000 military uniforms a year. It was a gift from Tang Dao to his own people. Although it would only account for a small proportion of his own people who would expand to millions of troops in the future, it would be a meat that would be small when mosquitoes are small. The big guys of his own people are overjoyed.
What Tang Dao really needs are those thousands of "customized" military uniforms. Maybe after knowing the needs of Tang Dao, Jia Dongxing and his group of people would cry. This so-called fraction is no cheaper than the 100,000 military uniform with a cost price of 0.5 oceans.
Tang Dao has strict requirements for the military uniforms of the future Four Lines Regiment. Let’s not talk about the special functions of rain, fire and stabbing. The demand for sturdy and wear resistance alone is far from comparable to that of the current cheesecloth military uniforms. The special squadrons need to have camouflage and dyeing, and technological innovation is required.
Of course, whether to cry or not is a matter of later. Since I got on the pirate ship of Tang Tuan, it would be so easy to get off, not to mention that they were rushing up and tied up.
Yes, it is not just so-called contracts that can bind all this. Merchants are far more willing to invest heavily in business than ordinary people think.
Therefore, welcoming Tang Dao’s inquiry has nothing to do with what contract.
"You guys are this? You guys have anything else to ask, just ask." Tang Dao looked puzzled.
"Captain Tang, I wonder how old is the young commander named Zhao Daqiang this year? Where is his home? I wonder if he is a marriage?" The rich old Zhou asked respectfully.
Hey! Zhao Daqiang is OK! He was attracted to someone so soon? Tang Dao was slightly happy, but his face was quiet.
This thing is like fishing. The fish touches the bait, but it hasn't bite the hook yet. Lifting the rod too early can only scare the fish away.
"That's it! But the military secret, Boss Zhou, I'll forgive Tang Dao for not giving any advice." Tang Dao smiled slightly.
"No, no, Commander Tang, please don't get me wrong. That's right. My subordinate has a niece who is already twenty-two years old. He is yelling all day long to join the army to defend his country. You said, how can I not have a headache if I am an uncle? I heard that I am coming to participate in the Four-Rank Group party, but my niece is pestering me. Just now, when you left, my family actually asked me to inquire about the company commander Zhao Daqiang of your unit, and it seems that he is the niece..." Old Zhou was frightened and explained quickly.
Although I didn't say it very clearly, the meaning was that I expressed it very clearly. There was a baby and niece in the family who had not yet been married, and I was concerned about the military camp. I was very obsessed with the elders. After all, my niece had an idea. Why didn't he, the uncle, rushed out quickly?
Don’t underestimate the prestige of being an uncle at home. If he is the head of the family, he will even be more accurate than his own father’s words.
It has to be said that Lao Zhou's niece has vision. Zhao Daqiang does not look honest and simple, but in fact he is simple and shrewd. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted by Commander Liu Yuqing to be a guard, nor would he have encountered Tang Dao's promotion to become the company commander of the main company. In the battle to get a gold pit, Zhao Daqiang showed his abilities to the fullest.
It turns out that among the four main companies in the independent battalion, Zhao Daqiang, who was 27 years old, was not as mature as Qian Dazhu, and was more energetic than Li Jiujin, who was over 30 years old. Originally, Leng Feng could suppress him and wait for Leng Feng to be promoted to major battalion commander. In fact, in Tang Dao's mind, he is the one who is most likely to be promoted again.
Of course, for the girl Tang Dao had seen who might not have left much impression, he might not be interested in Zhao Daqiang's military rank and future, but this one, mainly! She is masculine.
Zhao Daqiang is not a typical handsome guy with a white face, nor is he a handsome guy like Tang Dao, who has a long body, a facial cut and axe. At first glance, it looks simple and embarrassing. The crowd will be submerged soon. But if you look closely, there are a pair of very lively eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows. The beard was shaved a few days ago, and new stubble grew in the past two days, but it did not look sloppy, but added a little unique temperament of male creatures.
Coupled with the new military uniform that best reflects a man's heroic temperament and the upright figure of a soldier who is far beyond ordinary people, he is full of masculinity.
This is not an isolated case. Those who go to college to serve as military training instructors in the future can burn their love letters from freshmen girls.
The masculinity of a soldier is far more attractive to young women than those well-dressed young men.
For parents, appearance is not very important. What is important is military rank. The future of officers in their twenties is smooth and it is perfect for them to choose a son-in-law in their minds.
"Oh? So that's the case. Boss Zhou, don't worry. Now, we'll eat and drink well. When we're about to negotiate later, let him come to chat with you. How about you?" Tang Dao was happy in his heart, but on the surface he was calm and calm, he raised his reserve.
You must do that! Lao Zhou’s niece is interested in Zhao Daqiang, but there are other people! In the future world, “If You Are the One” will choose to keep the lights off!
In addition, we have to consider whether Zhao Daqiang has fallen in love with his niece? Tang Dao hopes to solve the marriage of his officers, but he thinks that marriage must first have love. What is the use of company without love?
The first impression of this love is really important.
Some people say that love at first sight is too hasty. In fact, human emotional thinking is very wonderful. Some people know at a glance whether the person in front of you is suitable for you.
Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue were actually no exception. The first time they met was not very pleasant, but one was because they were busy with military affairs and didn’t pay much attention to it, while the other was quite unhappy with the other because of the other’s arrogance and some misunderstandings. But this did not prevent the two from looking at each other at first, leaving the first impression that the other party’s “skin” was pretty good.
Many people like to say, "The beautiful skin is the same, and the interesting soul is one in a million!", but when the other party does not have the same skin, they are not willing to touch the potentially interesting soul.
Tang Dao is also one of the many beings. History has proven that no matter how heroes are, once they are fallen in love with beautiful women, it is difficult to escape.
This is human nature that everyone knows but is extremely difficult to overcome.
Tang Dao suddenly started to lift it up, and the old foxes from the Textile Association could only remain silent.
To be united with the Sixing Army, one reason is that his daughter and niece are in love with him, and two because he can also use this to bring closer relationship with the Sixing Army. The Northwest Land is the territory where the Northeast Army has been entrenched for several years. The news they found out showed that Tang Dao had a close relationship with the 67th Army. It is best to get a relationship from where he can.
But if they were asked to rush to send their daughters, no one of the business tycoons could do that.
Then continue to drink with Tang Tuanzhao, who is very enthusiastic!
Tang Dao refused to withdraw the banquet because he had to wait until his officers and soldiers came to the table.
The people were tactful and knew that there were people waiting behind them, especially the group of soldiers waiting, and they ate very quickly. Except for the steamed buns they had sent before, the food served was swept away in one go.
The banquets in the straw hut area have not yet been removed, and the flowing mat has been on two rounds. The people left with satisfaction after eating and drinking, and the soldiers and the remaining townsmen have served.
Tang Dao brought the toasts from the three main officials of Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, and Zhuang Shisan, one unit after another. These were all his soldiers. The soldiers who fought with the Japanese on the battlefield were worthy of being treated like this.
Tang Dao, who had already eaten two pounds of wine, showed the true strength of a person who had soaked in the wine jar for the first time.
"To my brothers!" At almost every company-level unit, the wine bowl that could hold 2 taels of white wine in Tang Dao's hand was full. Facing the wine bowl raised by the officers and soldiers, Tang Dao drank it all in one go.
This is thanks and respect!
This is a soldier from the future, respecting these Chinese soldiers who have never left their names in the long river of history, and respecting their sacrifices for this country and nation; this is also the thanks of a soldier who fought bravely with the Japanese invaders on the battlefield to his comrades-in-arms, thanking them for being able to accompany him to the battlefield without hesitation!
No one stopped Tang Dao from swallowing the white wine, even Dan Tai Mingyue, who was most worried about him.
All the emotions are in the wine, and you can feel them as soldiers.
Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun are both from the north and have a good alcohol tolerance, but they can't compare with Tang Jiuguan. One bowl and one liang, and one circle can be more than one pound. Zhuang Shisan is from Songjiang, so it's okay to drink yellow wine. White wine is just a chicken. Pour half a liang into the bowl is the limit. After a round, he has already turned red and can't walk straight.
Fortunately, the cruel battlefield of the past three months has also trained this person's spiritual will. He is obviously drunk, but he can walk back without anyone to help without any rudeness.
Tang Dao saw that this person was not good enough, so he quickly asked the staff from the General Staff to help him back and rest.
Seeing that Tang Tuanzu was still sober when he had eaten a few pounds of white wine, Gong Shaoxun realized that Tang Dao and Wu Junzu had not even given half of their strength to compete in wine! Wu Junzu, underestimated Tang Dao's strength too much.
But there is more than Chief of Staff Zhuang who is drunk.
When Tang Tuanzhao drank this way, the soldiers present said that they had drunk half of them. It was not that the soldiers could not drink, nor that they were not self-disciplined enough.
Instead, 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 have witnessed a ground-to-air battle with their own eyes. They are already mentally tense and suddenly announced that they will relax on vacation. In addition, Tang Tuanzhao said that the wine is enough, so the wine is naturally excessive.
Or, more importantly, they miss those comrades who died in battle.
They can eat meat and drink big cubes here to celebrate the first New Year of the establishment of the Four-House Group, but those comrades who had been with them day and night could only lie in the cold soil, and many of them had no bones left.
Many people would pour the first glass of wine into the soil in front of them and whisper: "Brother, I'm going to toast you."
That is the oldest tradition in China.
