Chapter 54
In a room that is as big as a room in Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall, Mu Yaping stood at the front desk and was speaking: "What is a country? Simply put, it is a family. Who is there in the family? Parents, you, me, brothers and sisters. But this is a small family, and the country is a big family, including everyone here. Without a country, there is no family, and without everyone, there will be no small family."
Mu Yaping looked down seriously and continued, "Only when the country is strong, the people in his family will not be hungry or cold. Only when the country is strong, foreigners dare not bully us. Therefore, I ask you to establish the ideal and ambition of dedicating yourself to this country from now on. If the country reaches a critical moment, you must stand up..."
Now Mu Yaping began to educate his patriotic education for the disciples of the Zhongyi Martial Arts School. As for what kind of beliefs these disciples choose in the future, it is not something that Mu Yaping can fully control, but he must instill patriotic education in them. In his mouth, stories of national heroes expanding territory and fighting against foreign enemies often appear, and their purpose is self-evident.
Xiangyun sat behind and listened to Mu Yaping's wonderful speech, and was also full of passion. But after being excited, she fell into confusion again. Mr. Gu and the beautiful future society she instilled in seem to be similar to Mu Yaping's remarks. She could not figure out what kind of person Mu Yaping was now, which aggravated his inner fear and worry.
Mu Yaping drove away from the martial arts hall and prepared to go to the Victoria Mall. It was already late autumn, and the streets were covered with leaves, and people had already changed into warm clothes. Wu Zhonghe sent a message saying that Johnson was back. Mu Yaping naturally wanted to rush to the Victoria Mall to see how Johnson gained his trip to Europe.
"Haha! Hello Mr. Mu! I'm back," Johnson came to meet him and saw Johnson's face flushed and full of energy. Mu Yaping guessed that this kid would definitely be worth the trip, and said, "Mr. Johnson, I have long been looking forward to you back. How is things going well?"
Johnson said: "The British manufacturers, no matter how they say that, they are not broad enough and are a little cautious. They encountered many obstacles in negotiations with them. Due to my integrity, several manufacturers have agreed to ship the goods first and then pay. Currently, a manufacturer that produces motors has agreed to send 200 motors, and a manufacturer that produces hardware has also signed a supply contract with me."
Mu Yaping said: "It's very good. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As our popularity continues to increase, there will be more and more partners in the future, so we don't have to worry." Johnson said: "What I gained the most this time is American merchants. After they learned about my situation, they took the initiative to cooperate with me. I have entrusted an American merchant to fully represent the American business. I will tell you good news. The source of goods from the United States has arrived at Tianjin Port in advance. This is the list of goods."
Mu Yaping took the list of goods to check it. The words on the black and white indicate that there are cars, radios, machine tools, etc., and it can be said that the varieties are very complete. He couldn't help but sigh that Americans dominate the world in the economic field in the future. Their advanced business philosophy and keen ability to capture business opportunities are by no means groundless. They pressed their treasures on Johnson, and they saw this.
Johnson also said: "Mr. Mu, this time the Americans made a big deal. The goods to the shore are equivalent to 5 million silver dollars. Their condition is to pay 30% of the payment before the shore, and the rebates will be made for half a year. I am worried that our strength will take all of this batch of goods. We will first pay 1.5 million silver dollars, and the goods from the UK will also cost 500,000 silver dollars."
Mu Yaping pondered for a moment and said, "Since the transaction is coming to our door, we have no reason to ignore it. Mr. Johnson, you can fully agree to the Americans' request, but I must have exclusive management rights, that is, these goods are not allowed to be sold to any dealer. In this case, I will transfer the money to their designated banks. In addition, when you pick up goods in Tianjin, you will advertise and broadcast messages in major newspapers in Tianjin. As long as someone is willing to buy them, we will directly carry out wholesale in Tianjin."
Then Mu Yaping said to Wu Zhonghe: "We should also vigorously promote our business in the capital. In addition to advertising in newspapers, we should also set up billboards in various prosperous areas and intersections of the capital. In addition, in order to quickly expand our business, you must build our offices in the two cities of Xi'an and Taiyuan, promote our industrial products, and remember to retail and wholesale."
At the lunch table that welcomed Johnson, Mu Yaping suggested that Johnson use his British identity to rent a venue at Tianjin Wharf and build a wholesaler to attract customers from Shanghai and Guangzhou to do wholesale business. Mu Yaping said he would send people to advertise and broadcast news in Fengtian, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places. Mu Yaping's methods made Johnson admire him.
After Mu Yaping broke up with them, he drove to the fireworks shop. Recently, Director Hu of the Military Control Department of the Army Department and Yan Xishan's people got into contact with them. They were very interested in Mu Yaping's grenades. Soon Yan Xishan wanted to send someone to check the performance of the grenades, so Mu Yaping went to check the manufacturing of the grenades. At present, since there is a large amount of picrylic explosives in stock, the grenades sold to local warlords are all picrylic explosives, and the grenades made of black gunpowder when they bought the grasslands are all picrylic explosives.
Captain Gou was implicated in the case of Director Xiong's murder and was fired by the police station. He was always showing off his might and quickly became a poor man. People who favor him on weekdays also left him. There were many customs of looking down on people, and it was not surprising that he had fulfilled it. Captain Gou's name was Gou Desheng, and he was swaying from an alley at this time.
Suddenly, several big men rushed towards him, and they were punching and kicking. While beating, several big men cursing and swearing about his crimes. Obviously, Gou Desheng used to do many evil things and offended many people. Now he has no power and power, so naturally someone wants to take revenge. Gou Desheng lay on the ground and begged for mercy, but these big men still punched and kicked, and refused to forgive him.
A car roared over, and several big men hurriedly ran away. There were several pedestrians on the road, pausing from afar and watching the place, but no one stepped forward to try to cause trouble. Gou Desheng got up from the ground with difficulty. Blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his face was blue and purple. His body was covered with dust. He picked up his hat and prepared to leave.
Mu Yaping left the fireworks shop and drove to this intersection. He saw several big men beating one from afar. He didn't care about this kind of fight. When the car passed by, Mu Yaping suddenly felt that the person being beaten was familiar with him. Then he asked Ma Quan to stop the car and roll back. Mu Yaping got out of the car and saw that the person being beaten was slapping the dust on his body, he tried to shout: "Gou Desheng!"
When Gou Desheng saw that it was Mr. Mu, he walked over with a frustration and shouted "Young Master Mu." "What's going on with you? Why are you wearing ragged clothes?" Mu Yaping asked. Gou Desheng cried and said, "Young Master Mu, I was implicated in the case of Director Xiong being killed, but I was fired by the police station. What does it have to do with me when you say that bastard was killed?"
Mu Yaping laughed in his heart. If you hadn't informed me, could I kill Director Xiong? After all, this kid helped him. Then Mu Yaping asked again: "Why are you doing this?" Gou Desheng sighed and said: "A few days after I came down, I had a good appearance and ran away with someone with all my savings. Mom, I offended too many people in the past few years, and someone was asking me for trouble every few days."
Mu Yaping thought to himself: I usually do evil, this is retribution, and it is not surprising at all. Looking at the villain in front of me, a thought suddenly emerged in my mind. He took out two silver dollars from his pocket and said, "Go and take a shower and change your clothes, wait for me at Mingyue Restaurant tonight. I have something to do now, and I will go to Mingyue Restaurant to find you." Gou Desheng was overjoyed and left with great gratitude.
Mu Yaping drove straight to Rongbaozhai. When Tong Baosheng saw Mu Yaping, he joked: "Master Mu, you can't see your figure. You will have no good things when you come. Say it! What are you asking me to do again?" Mu Yaping smiled and said: "You are right, I ask you if you are on Wangfujing Street. Is there any real estate for you at present?" Tong Baosheng thought for a while and said: "A few months ago, a child of the Eight Banners sold us a small Western-style building in Bamangtou, which is still idle." "Is it a house facing the street?" "Yes!"
Mu Yaping said: "I used this small foreign building. In addition, you can send someone to the antique market in Tianjin to build a branch of Rongbaozhai and send a well-versed worker to manage it. I don't ask the branch to make money, but it has other uses." Seeing Tong Baosheng open his mouth to ask, Mu Yaping continued: "Don't ask anything, do what I said, and you will know what's going on in the future."
Mu Yaping walked into the elegant room of Mingyue Restaurant, Gou Desheng had already been waiting here. Although this boy had a sharp-mouthed cheek, he was also a smarter person. Although his bruised nose affected the overall image of his face, it did not affect his radiant and joyful mood. He concluded that Young Master Mu would hire him.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mu Yaping said, "Gou Desheng, you and my friends are in a fight. Now that you are so down and out, I cannot ignore it. I am going to set up a private detective office, which is fully in charge." Gou Desheng turned over and knelt on the ground and said, "Young Master Mu is above, I, Gou Desheng, swear to the sky that I will serve the work of Master Mu, and I will never be discouraged."
Mu Yaping said: "You are recruiting personnel, after all, you are familiar with this. But I have a condition that all the activity funds must be included in unified management. I will send you a accountant to supervise you. From now on, including you and the personnel you hired, if you do evil again, I will never forgive you." Gou Desheng promised that if you commit another crime, let Young Master Mu be punished.
A few days later, the private detective office in the capital city officially opened a small western-facing building in the Bafangtou of Wangfujing. Mu Yaping said to Gou Desheng: "All the dignitaries in the capital, including the Japanese, must be included in your detective scope, their residence, their profession and wealth. I want you to establish files for them separately. The more detailed the situation, the better. In addition, your first business is to detect a person, who lives in Tianjin now. You must understand his current situation. I want to have first-hand information." After that, Mu Yaping handed the list to Gou Desheng.
Gou Desheng looked carefully and asked in surprise: "It's him, why are you interested in him?"
