    After some bargaining, both parties finally reached a price that was acceptable to both parties. The Datong Party got the workers they wanted, and Yan Xishan also took the opportunity to make a fortune. By the way, he used the money he just earned to buy the central government captured by the Datong Party.  military equipment.  After discussing the matter of construction workers and weapons, the two sides started more intimate cooperation discussions. This time, they were mainly normal business exchanges.  When he heard that the Datong Party wanted to open some shops and do small business in his territory, Yan Xishan had some doubts, but he still did not refuse. After all, he had just received a lot of benefits from the Datong Party, and it would be bad to turn around and turn against him.  However, he still carefully asked the Datong Party what kind of shops they planned to open. Cheng Yun laughed and said that it was just some small items, such as tobacco, alcohol and accessories, and he also bought some food to transport back to the Soviet area.  Although Yan Xishan didn't know where the Datong Party got these goods from, he still agreed and generously gave the Datong Party a tax cut. He only had to pay the tax once. You must know that at this time, various warlords wanted to exploit more money.  It is used to purchase weapons, but cards are set up everywhere to collect taxes. The poll tax and agricultural tax are collected like crazy, and taxes for the next few decades are also collected in advance, making the people at the bottom miserable and unable to survive at all.  "If this were not the case, the people's revolution of the Datong Party would not be so easy to succeed. No matter where it goes, it can quickly mobilize a military force until the old warlords are wiped out.  After discussing the general business cooperation, Yan Xishan, Cheng Yun and others had a hearty drink. They were as happy as old friends. They held hands and the laughter could be heard in the distance.  After sobering up the next day, they discussed the specific transportation method in the transaction. Yan Xishan was not worried about the Datong Party's troops entering his territory, so he only asked the Datong Party to help transport the weapons and equipment to the Yellow River, and then he sent  People pick it up.  As for the transportation of workers, the Datong Party dispatched a small number of staff, and Yan Xishan used troops to help the Datong Party transport them to the junction of the two armies.  The Datong Party itself will be responsible for the final journey.  Yan Xishan strictly controlled the members of the Datong Party who entered Shanxi and Suizhou. Cheng Yun and others had nothing to say, as long as they could complete the transaction between the two parties. Now the Datong Party is not what it used to be, and they are not afraid of Yan Xishan's deception at all.  When the transportation of weapons and workers was in full swing, Xi Zhongxun also established the Datong Party's first store in Shanxi in Taiyuan under the leadership of Cheng Yun.  The location was chosen directly in a loft in the city center, and Yan Xishan specially "gifted" it to the Datong Party as a token of goodwill.  It is said to be a gift, but in fact it is just a mortgage for the purchase of weapons and equipment. When he can do it without spending money, Yan Xishan, an old man, will try his best not to spend money.  The address of the store is selected.  The first batch of goods was also sent from the rear. In order to ensure the absolute safety of the goods, Yan Xishan allowed the Datong Party to escort them for the first time. However, the number of armed personnel was still suppressed within one company, and Yan Xishan would not be able to accept any more.  The transportation team came out of the Soviet Area, crossed the Yellow River, and headed east, entering Linfen City.  Then he took a train and headed north to Taiyuan, delivering boxes after boxes of goods to stores in the city center.  After the goods were delivered, half of the armed personnel responsible for escorting the goods were left as security personnel, and the rest returned along the same route.  After careful decoration, the first store named Five-Star Store finally opened. In order to show his importance, Yan Xishan not only brought civil and military officials to congratulate the store on the opening day, but even invited famous celebrities in Taiyuan City.  Those celebrities are all landlords and gentry.  I have always believed that the Datong Party is a monster that eats people without spitting out their bones. They dare not come to see the shops opened by the Datong Party, but they were afraid of Yan Xishan's military power, so they came reluctantly.  When the store opened, the whole store was decorated with red and colorful firecrackers, and the crackling of red firecrackers kept going.  After the firecrackers were set off, a large group of people led by Yan Xishan arrived in time.  After passing through the firecracker smoke that had not yet dissipated, Yan Xishan took the lead to walk towards Xi Zhongxun at the door and clasped his fists and said, "Boss Xi, congratulations, Yan is here to cheer you today." "Boss Yan is here. Immediately,  My little shop is full of glory, please come inside." Xi Zhongxun said politely, stepped aside and raised his hand, and led Yan Xishan and others into the shop.  Entering the store, Yan Xishan and others' eyes suddenly lit up. They really didn't expect that Datong Dang, who had always been called a country bumpkin, actually had so many exquisite products in his hands.  I saw several rows of shelves neatly placed in the store. Each shelf was made of fine red sandalwood. The shelves were inlaid with glass without a trace of impurities. There were beautifully packaged goods inside.  There are fine wines, cigarettes, gold and silver jewelry and emeralds and jade.  Although the packaging of fine wine and cigarettes is exquisite, they have never seen the brands, and they don¡¯t know whether they are good or bad. However, the gold and silver jewelry and emeralds and jade stones, with Yan Xi.It can be seen from the sophistication of these people that they are all high-quality products, many times better than those on the market, and all of them are priceless. No wonder the Datong Party will change from a country bumpkin to a rich man in an instant.  Looking at their dull expressions, Xi Zhongxun felt proud, but he did not show it at all. Instead, he took everyone to visit the goods in the shop and introduced them to them one by one.  "Mr. Yan, I know that Shanxi Fenjiu is particularly famous. Except for Fenjiu, other drinks may not be able to impress Mr. Yan. However, the Maotai liquor in our five-star store also has a different flavor. I believe the boss will not refuse it.  "As he said that, Xi Zhongxun asked someone to bring out the wine glasses, and one person poured them a glass.  After the Moutai was opened, the strange aroma of the wine spread through everyone's noses. Of course, they knew it was a good wine. Zhongxun didn't need to say anything, so he tasted it with a glass of wine, and then they all applauded. However, some people still thought that it was a good wine.  The home-made Fenjiu is better.  Xi Zhongxun didn¡¯t care about this, but continued the introduction. He picked up a package of beautifully packaged Chinese cigarettes and introduced them to everyone. While introducing them, he distributed them to everyone. Finally, he took out an exquisite zippo lighter and lit them for them.  Although Zhonghua Cigarettes is much better than the cigarettes currently on the market, the group of people are more concerned about the Zippo lighter in Xi Zhongxun's hand. They have never thought that a lighter can be made like this, and they can't help but want to buy one and collect it for fun.  After introducing several cigarettes, Xi Zhongxun introduced cigars, and they were the best Cuban cigars in the world.  Compared with ordinary cigarettes, Yan Xishan and others are obviously more interested in cigars. This foreign thing, under the mentality of worshiping foreigners, considers it to be the best no matter what it is, not to mention what Xi Zhongxun took out.  It's a Cuban cigar.  And there is a complicated procedure when smoking cigars, which gives people a pretentious feeling of superiority, especially in line with the psychology of those around Yan Xishan who think they are superior to others, as if this makes them really nobler than others.  After introducing the perfect wine and cigarettes, Xi Zhongxun then led the crowd to visit gold and silver jewelry and jade. Now Xi Zhongxun¡¯s knowledge level was not as good as these noble people who like to play with jade and jade when they have nothing to do. He could only pick out a few items for them to show.  Give them a review.  Finally, of course, the five-star shops have more than just the first thing, such as luxury tea, perfume, stockings, etc. When Li Keji was preparing these things, what he wanted to do was to enter the mid-to-high-end market, do everything possible to squeeze the wealth of Shanxi's upper class, and take the lead.  Gain an unbreakable alliance with these elites.  Sure enough, after a cursory visit, not only the landlords and compradors brought by Yan Xishan, but also the civil and military officials under him were very fond of the products in the five-star shop. However, they were almost out of stock on the first day, among which tobacco and alcohol were the most popular.  most.  After the market was opened on the first day, the business of the five-star shops was getting better and better. Not only did the entire Shanxi Province take pride in having the fine products of the five-star shops, but even businessmen from nearby Hebei came after hearing the news.  With such a good start, the Datong Party immediately established contact with the middle and upper classes of Shanxi, and in the following period, they launched closer business cooperation. The Datong Party came to them to buy various raw materials, and they purchased those luxury goods from the Datong Party.  products and things they want to buy but can¡¯t.  As time goes by, Datong Party is no longer just a five-star store in Taiyuan, but has opened five-star chain stores one after another in major counties and cities, specializing in exquisite products provided by Datong Party, and at one time, the luxury goods in the entire Jinsui  Complete monopoly.  At the beginning, Yan Xishan was careful to guard against the Datong Party doing anything in his territory. In the end, he found that the Datong Party not only did not engage in small tricks, but also provided him with a lot of tax revenue, so he gradually relaxed his supervision of the Datong Party.  It's not as tight as it was at first.  At this time, with more and more vested interests, Yan Xishan wanted to strictly control the Datong Party, but his group of Shanxi merchants refused to agree.  Not only did he not agree, but he asked Yan Xishan to be more lenient with the Datong Party and not to control it so strictly, which would only hinder the economic exchanges and cooperation between the two parties.  Shanxi merchants are Yan Xishan's strategic partners. Most of his military expenditures come from Shanxi merchants. Although they have the guns, they dare not provoke these ancestors too much. Although they have to relax the constraints on the Datong Party, so that the Datong Party can  Make it easier to conduct business activities in the Jinsui area.  When the Shanxi merchants made a lot of money, the officers under Yan Xishan couldn't help but become jealous. Since Yan Xishan was also a big businessman himself, his men almost had the habits of businessmen.  The officers of the Jinsui Army not only have the habits of businessmen, but sometimes also learn from businessmen to do some business. On the one hand, they can enrich themselves, and on the other hand, they can barely supplement the military.  After all, military expenses have always been very tight, and interruptions are common. If you can make a little money to supplement the army, it will play a very important role in winning people's hearts.    What's more, after Yan Xishan received the cheap equipment sold to him by the Datong Party, his army expanded again. Military expenses were tighter than before, and sometimes eating was a problem.
