"Brother Yuchen, I didn't expect you to come back to Chongqing." Zhou Jun was celebrating his birthday. Xu Wei, the leader of the Chongqing gang, naturally came to celebrate his birthday in person, but he didn't expect that Zeng Jincheng would also come all the way from Shanghai.
"I haven't had time to congratulate Brother Xu in person for his promotion to the head of the Chongqing Mixed Group." Zeng Jincheng said with a red face.
"It's a mess, don't mention it. I'm just a bare commander now, I have no one under my command, and I'm so poor that I can't even open the pot. Brother Yuchen, tell me whether the money I borrowed has been accounted for." Xu Wei didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"Haha, Brother Xu is really straightforward." Zeng Jincheng said with a smile, "There is a friend from Shanghai who came to Chongqing with me this time. You also know him. Guess who it is? That friend told me that he guessed that he was rich. , I can¡¯t guess, but I don¡¯t have any money.¡±
"Friends over there in Shanghai? Chen Guoer!" Xu Wei from Shanghai knew Huang Chujiu, Chen Guoer and Lao Jiang. How could Huang Chujiu and Lao Jiang play such a trick?
"Humph, I guessed it all at once. It's really boring." Chen Guoer opened the door of the box and walked in smartly.
"Why are Miss Chen here?" Xu Wei said with a smile.
"Come here and have a look if you have nothing to do." Chen Guoer rolled her eyes and said, "The New World Amusement Park is doing well. The business has been getting more and more popular recently. I heard Zeng Yuchen said that you came up with all the ideas?"
"That's right, the number of visitors to the New World Amusement Park has increased by at least 30%. That guy Huang Chujiu is full of praise for Brother Xu. It's such a pity that you don't go into business." Zeng Jincheng smacked his lips.
"There is nothing regrettable. Every loss must be rewarded. I join the army as your backing. Otherwise, do you think people like Huang Jinrong would retract their claws towards the new world so easily?" Xu Wei said with a smile.
Chen Guoer said in surprise, "It turns out that you sent someone to do it when the bomb appeared at Huang Huangrong's door. I can't tell that besides your appearance, you also have a dark heart."
Zeng Jincheng took out three checks of 80,000 yuan from Jardine Matheson, "Huang Chujiu, and Mr. Chen said they wanted to come up with a lucky number."
Thirty-eight is 240,000, which is nearly 100,000 more than Xu Wei expected. Xu Wei's funds have become very abundant. "Thank you Mr. Chen and Huang Chujiu for me."
"In order to raise the money you asked for, I sold some shares of the transportation company, and now I am very tight on money. By the way, Mr. Chen wants to join New World. What do you think?" Zeng Jincheng said.
"I'm grateful for the kindness. Without this money, the soldiers under my command would have a problem eating. Now it's finally solved." Xu Wei quickly took the check over, as if he was afraid it would run away.
"Hey, I asked you something. After taking the money, you forgot about other people's matters." Chen Guoer curled her lips and said.
"Yes, of course." Xu Weidao, "If you want to make the New World bigger in the shortest possible time and dispel others' covetous intentions, it is natural to attract more capable people to come in. And if you can play in the New World If a casino is opened in the venue, New World's business will surely go a step further. By the way, Brother Yuchen, there is one more thing you have to do for me. I discovered a coal mine in Qi*jiang. Do you know Brother Yuchen? Someone proficient in geology?¡±
"Brother Xu, you want to find someone to explore that coal mine?" Zeng Jincheng said.
Xu Wei nodded.
"I know a few people who are prospecting, but they are all top students who have returned from studying abroad and work in the Mining Administration Department of the Central Ministry of Industry and Commerce. I can only say that I will give it a try, but I don't guarantee it." Zeng Jincheng said. "But there are quite a few foreigners who know how to prospect."
In this era when the vast majority of people are illiterate, the number of international students throughout the Republic of China was extremely limited. Most of the students who returned from overseas studies were directly employed as professors in universities in the Republic of China, or worked in government departments. Most of these international students are in the central government departments or in big cities like Tianjin, Shanghai, and Beijing. Even in Chongqing at this time, there are only a few. What's more, going down to a small county like Qi*jiang.
"Foreigners? It's unreliable. The temples in Qijiang and Jiangjin are too small to accommodate those big Bodhisattvas." Xu Wei shook his head and smiled, "Let's put this matter aside for now." Anyway, coal mining is all about it now. Labor is controlled wherever there is coal, and machinery has not been purchased yet. If foreigners are brought here, given the habits of foreigners, I am afraid that the coal mines will also be taken away by foreigners, and it will not be my turn. In this case, it's better to cover yourself up for a while.
After receiving the borrowed 240,000 yuan, Xu Wei couldn't wait to rush back to Qijiang and start recruiting troops.
"Good things come in hard times. Now that I am worthy of my title as the commander of the regiment, you can have a good night's sleep." The army was about to expand, and General Xu Wei called all his confidants over, "Fu Guo, you must be qualified for the position of chief of staff."
Xu Shaozeng and Xu Wei are about the same age??, but he has a calmness that is not possessed by people of the same age. He is thoughtful and meticulous in doing things, making him the best candidate to serve as a consultant.
"Thank you for the promotion!" Xu Shaozeng gave Xu Wei a military salute.
Next, in addition to Zhang Huaiyuan, the battalion commander sent by Zhou Jun, Xu Wei appointed Rao Guohua, Ding Dafu, and Zhou Wu as battalion commanders of the second, third, and fourth battalions respectively. In addition, Zhang Jing served as the commander of the guard company. Xu Wei recruited troops. It turned out that after Xiong Kewu fled Chongqing, the Old Fifth Division naturally ceased to exist. Xiong Kewu's Old Fifth Division was still capable of fighting. Among them were some outstanding graduates from the crash course of Shu Army General Bian Academy such as Liu Bocheng and Gao Jianxun. .
Once the staff of the mixed regiment was full and after preliminary training, Xu Wei reported it to Chongqing garrison envoy Zhou Jun for inspection. A batch of supplies such as military uniforms and ordnance were then distributed to the mixed regiment. After receiving the ordnance, Xu Wei's mixed regiment was truly established.
Xu Wei¡¯s initial postponement of the army expansion was based on the large number of hungry people in the two counties. If he could not think of trouble, Xu Wei had no choice. At this time, with sufficient financial support, Xu Wei was not interested in the economic construction of the two counties. The economic foundation of the two counties was so poor that construction could not be completed overnight. As long as the problem of filling the stomach is solved. As for financial resources, they mainly rely on Xu Wei's industries in Chongqing and Shanghai.
Once the mixed regiment was expanded, Xu Wei devoted himself to military training, occasionally going to Chongqing for private meetings with Shen Jie, or meeting Zeng Yi.
By the time of spring plowing in the second year, many hungry people on the farm had dispersed. Spring was the season of the year, and these hungry people had to rush home to start farming. However, some people still chose to stay on the farm. In addition to Xu Wei's grain seed base, Guo Qun followed Xu Wei's instructions and bought a certain amount of fertile land in Qi*jiang and Jiangjin counties, all of which were used by Feng Shoude. The obtained rice is cultivated and planted.
