Chapter 181 Magic Contract
Can I earn more than 100,000 silver crystals in a month?
It sounds like magic.
Business is full of unknowns, how can there be risk-free returns?
However, as long as Hu Zongnan can obtain 50,000 silver crystals, will he turn against Cao Geng just because he fails to reach 100,000?
Impossible.
Such extremes are rare.
What if there is no profit?
The worst that can happen is that I will deny it to the end and firmly deny everything.
Would Hu Zongnan take his life again?
Or mobilize the army to conquer him?
All this was unrealistic. At most, Hu Zongnan could only appeal to Chairman Chiang, and even directly denounce him as a villain who did not keep his word.
What's a few words of rebuke?
Can you cut off a piece of his flesh?
Will not!
Therefore, many businessmen, by relying on shamelessness, ruthlessness and eloquence, were able to establish a business and live a comfortable life even if they were penniless.
The profits mentioned by Cao Geng made Hu Zongnan waver.
One hundred thousand silver crystals every month, no need to steal or plunder.
And it does not affect military pay, which is very attractive to Hu Zongnan.
Hu Zongnan looked at Cao Geng and asked, "How much capital do I need to invest?"
Cao Geng waved his hand and said, "No need! No need! Yun Fei only needs your reputation to deter the local demons, so that they don't interfere with the plan. You don't have to pay anything. Yun Fei is willing to give one tenth of the profit as a reward! Don't think it's too little, after all, to run this business, the assistance of General Fu Zuoyi of the 35th Army outside the Great Wall is crucial. The King of Yunnan, the Kong Family, and the Song Family, these forces all need to be properly communicated."
Hearing that he could get one-tenth of the profit without any effort, Hu Zongnan no longer hesitated.
Success brings you money, and failure brings you no loss.
Why not?
Moreover, the families mentioned by Cao Geng made Hu Zongnan look at Cao Geng with new respect.
Fu Zuoyi and Cao Geng had some past with him.
It's not strange to be friends.
But how did he get to know the King of Yunnan, the Song Family, and the Kong Family?
Could it be that he has more connections than I realize?
By the way, his fiancée is the niece of Yu Youren, who was a revolutionary and a political party pioneer.
High seniority and wide network of contacts!
With this man's cunning personality and his old reputation, he might be able to establish connections with these bigwigs.
This guy Cao Geng is really good at hiding.
Putting aside other things, if we can really win over these people.
Based on their reputation alone, the business must be profitable.
Hu Zongnan's eyes turned and he said, "How can I let your good brother suffer any loss? How about this, I will invest 100,000 yuan to participate in the cooperation!"
Of course, these one hundred thousand are not silver crystals, but one hundred thousand magic coins.
Nowadays, one hundred thousand magic coins are worth very little.
It might only be equivalent to a few thousand magic coins before the war!
This money was of no importance to Hu Zongnan and Cao Geng.
Cao Geng had no intention of arguing with Hu Zongnan over this small amount of money.
"Thank you for your financial support, Senior Brother. The situation is urgent and we must send a caravan to the border before the heavy snow falls. Yun Fei will have to visit Commander Fu later."
Hu Zongnan knew that Cao Geng could not be ignored, and hurriedly said: "No matter how urgent the task is, it is not as urgent as it is now. Let us drink tonight until dawn. Tomorrow I will send an envoy to escort you to Wuyuan City!"
Cao Geng hoped to establish a good alliance with Hu Zongnan, after all, his trade routes passed through his territory. It was a worthy bet on how long he could remain on the throne of the King of the Northwest.
Cao Geng smiled and responded: "Brother, how dare Yun Fei disobey your orders? I will definitely have a great time with you today."
The banquet was filled with laughter and joy amid Cao Geng's sincere toast, and the relationship between Cao Geng and Hu Zongnan was further improved.
After staying in Xi'an for two days, Hu Zongnan accompanied him to visit the mysterious Big Wild Goose Pagoda and other ancient relics in Xi'an, and also visited well-known local business tycoons.
Cao Geng then set off for Wuyuan to visit General Fu Zuoyi.
The captain of the Second Corps, Shen Quan, led an entire battalion of soldiers and quietly lurked in the Xinxian section of the Pu-Tong Railway.
The army under his command grows stronger, but the responsibilities also become heavier.
Apart from anything else, the newly recruited soldiers need training and their survival needs to be guaranteed.
The legions imitate the structure of the Central Army, and each legion has more than 3,000 soldiers, even though the current number is less than 2,000.
Training on this scale requires huge daily food consumption.
The regiment's supply of materials was limited, and we couldn't even hope for a single grain of extra food.
Shen Quan had to find another way.
He planned to lead his troops to the Zhengtai Railway to find some additional livelihood.
However, the Zhengtai Railway was blocked by a group of extremely poor resistance forces and it was impossible to squeeze in.
So, Shen Quan turned his attention to the Pu-Tong Railway.
The first battalion of the second legion was fully staffed, with a total of 650 people.
It has three infantry companies, each company is divided into three infantry platoons, each platoon is divided into three squads, and each platoon is equipped with three light machine guns and thirty rifles.
The infantry battalion's direct units include a machine gun company equipped with six heavy machine guns and two 82mm mortars.
The Pu-Tong Railway, like a giant dragon, passes through the central part of Shanxi Province, running from north to south.
Starting from Datong, it passes through Shuozhou, Xinzhou, Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Linfen, Yuncheng, and ends at Fenglingdu in Ruicheng, with a total length of 865 miles.
With Taiyuan Station as the boundary, it is divided into Beiputong Railway and Nanputong Railway.
The southern section is 5133 miles long and construction began in May 1933 and was completed in December 1935.
The northern section is 351 miles long. Construction began in November 1933 and was completed in 1939.
Shanxi has a rugged terrain, and the Pu-Tong Railway and the Zheng-Tai Railway have become vital transportation lifelines in the province, with far-reaching strategic significance.
At this time, Shen Quan was lurking along the railway with the First Battalion of the Second Corps.
They had already sent a team of soldiers to secretly bury the explosives they were carrying under the railroad tracks.
The fuse is hidden in the sand and extends into the hidden grass.
Shen Quan lay prone on the hillside and whispered to the commander of the first battalion, Xu Jishen:
"The enemy is weak and cannot defend the entire railway line. This section of the road is not well defended. If the brothers want to find an opportunity to obtain supplies, this is a good opportunity.
Do you see it ahead? There is a curve not far away. The train must slow down here. If there are civilians on the train, you should act there.
Send people to board the train, quietly take some of the Japanese army's supplies and evacuate. If the train is a Japanese army's supply transport vehicle, we will take action here directly! "
On the mysterious continent, the legendary "ghost tribe" rides a unique iron magic train through the fog, and human warriors must deal with it carefully. Shen Quan, the former leader of the Ghost Road Warriors, now leads the team to carry out a dangerous mission in order to train the first battalion.
He planned to pass on the skills of intercepting the Iron Demon Train that he learned on the Ghost Road so that his subordinates could frequently carry out such adventures in the future and accumulate strength for the Second Column.
Xu Jishen nodded repeatedly, his heart full of admiration.
Shen Quan is indeed an elite of Ghost Road. His ability to intercept trains is extraordinary! If it weren't for the battalion commander, who would have thought that a train could become a battlefield?
Let alone attacking, even distinguishing between ordinary trains and the Iron Demon Train that is exclusive to the ghost clan is not easy!
While they were talking, a scout came running over quietly.
"Commander, the Iron Demon Train is approaching!"
Shen Quan pulled out his mithril pistol and whispered, "Get the brothers ready!"
The soldiers of the first battalion of the second column wore camouflage clothes made of hemp rope and grass leaves, lying silently on both sides of the railway tracks, like shadows on the earth, difficult to detect. Unless the ghosts were close at hand, it would be difficult to detect their presence.
The order was passed silently and the soldiers took their positions.
The soldiers of the First Battalion gripped their weapons and loaded their bullets.
Soon, a roar was heard in the distance, like the low hum of the earth's veins, and a column of black smoke rose into the sky, announcing the approach of a train.
Shen Quan said softly: "Here you are, listen to my orders!"
A seven-carriage iron demon train roared in. Shen Quan observed through the magic telescope and found that on the top of the second car, the ghosts had built a sandbag fortress and set up a heavy magic crystal cannon.
There is no doubt that this is the exclusive train for the ghost tribe.
Shen Quan gestured: "It's the ghost tribe's train, be careful! Demolition man, get ready!"
The blaster's fingers gently touched the handle of the detonator, waiting for instructions. As soon as Shen Quan's hand fell, the blaster immediately pressed the handle.
Loud bang!
