"Brother Qin, I am from Guizhou... I will tell you about my suffering. Our Guizhou is really a barren land and poor people. But this is nothing. There is always a way to live in poverty. But the most annoying thing is that many people in Guizhou grow opium!"

"In our place, opium smoke has a long history, especially Panjiang, southwest Qian, with the largest output and best quality. Opium is exported, so it is collectively called "ba goods", which means the goods of Huangcaoba. Successive governments have been banned and relaxed, and Guizhou's commercial economy and smoke and poison transportation have actually occupied a major position. Warlords, bandits and bullies in various places have manipulated and made profits, and merchants have been trafficked. The vast majority of poor people are forced to grow cigarettes, and the more they grow, the more they grow, the more they grow, the more they grow, it has become a vicious cycle."

"My brother and I were talking about banning opium growth with our hometown people more than ten years ago, and we had the idea of ​​using tobacco tobacco instead of opium. Four years ago, I was appointed as a member of the provincial government and tried to put this idea into practice. In the 27th year of the Republic of China, I invited Zhao Fazhi, a Department of Agronomics at Southeast University of Nanjing, who knew how to grow and tobacco and bake, and personally took him to meet Ye Jiyuan, the director of the provincial government construction department, and appointed him as the director of the provincial agricultural experiment farm. Zhao Fazhi was finally unfavorable. After two years of experiments and exploration, he basically mastered the technology of growing and baking and built the first baking room in Guizhou."

"Last year, we established a Guizhou enterprise company, actively participated in the operation and development of tobacco, allocated funds to pay the provincial agricultural improvement institute, and conducted experiments and promotions of tobacco. In addition, the provincial government also attached great importance to the development of the tobacco industry in the province, issued instructions, issued documents, and contact letters. There are both administrative aspects, export plans, and joint production with the United States. Inspection rules, grade standards and other aspects. Especially last year, the youth tobacco factory built a factory in Guiyang and renamed it Guizhou tobacco factory. Our Guizhou enterprise company invested 200,000 yuan to produce six or seven boxes of Yellow River brand cigarettes every month last year, which ended the history of Guizhou's inability to produce cigarettes."

"Now, we plan to develop the tobacco industry into a major industry in Guizhou and gradually promote tobacco cultivation throughout the province. But our provincial government is not your construction corps after all. Although the tobacco factory has expanded its scale, the people still prefer to grow grain... So, now we have no rice to cook, so we can only come and ask you Brother Qin for help."

...

"Well, how many boxes are there in six or seven?"

Competitors are not afraid. Especially after listening to He Yingrui's "complaints", Qin Wei couldn't help but show sympathy... It took two years to learn how to grow cigarettes and bake them? These people are indeed hard, at least much harder than him. He was just tired for a few nights. While listening to Gu Changjun's nagging, he recorded the information and handed it over to Xu Yuanju and others for experiments. As for other things, the equipment in the cigarette factory is ready-made and the best. Foreigners are responsible for installation. After transporting it, they can start production in less than two months, but it is much easier than He Yingrui's group of people. But this production scale... Qin Wei didn't understand much. He used to buy cigarettes in the past, and occasionally he never bought boxes. He produced six or seven boxes this month, which is a lot?

"The standard in Yuxi is 250 cigarettes per box!" When Xu Yuanju heard Qin Wei's question, he quickly answered. Yuxi Cigarette Factory has become a money tree for the Corps almost from the beginning, and he has no ordinary concern.

"A box of 250 pieces? Which one is 100 cigarettes?"

"200 pieces." Xu Yuanju corrected.

"Yes.200! In this way, one box is 50,000, six or seven boxes, which is 300,000 to 350,000 pieces." Qin Wei's face was difficult: "I said, Brother Jiwu, the output of your Guizhou tobacco factory..."

"That's why we need to expand the scale." He Yingrui was also embarrassed. The monthly output of six or seven boxes is really hard to say. You know, before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the cigarette production in Shanghai alone had reached more than 320,000 boxes per year, and the highest was more than 400,000 boxes! Guizhou tobacco factory produced six or seven boxes per month, with an annual output of less than 100 boxes, which was really bad for the name of "Guizhou", one of the provinces in China.

"Then how big are you now?" Qin Wei asked again.

"It is expected to reach 1,000 boxes per month." He Yingrui straightened his chest and said seriously.

"How many boxes can our Yuxi cigarette factory produce per month?" Qin Wei asked Xu Yuanju again.

"If Qixing Company is willing to sell the cigarette factory back, it can reach at least 5,000 boxes per month, but this is mainly because it has just started production not long ago. If you are proficient, the output should still increase, and it should reach the level of 7 to 8,000 boxes." Xu Yuanju answered hurriedly.

"It's cheaper than Kong's surname, no wonder he would rather waste his time than sell the cigarette factory to me." Qin Wei's face was bitter. He miscalculated. Cigarettes were a profitable business. Kong Xiangxi finally got the most advanced and most productive machinery from him. Of course, he was not willing to do it in vain. Especially now, it is during the World War, and the impact of foreign cigarettes in China is much smaller. How could Kong Xiangxi give up such a money tree-like business?

"Brother Qin, as far as I know, Qixing Company is now shopping for tobacco everywhere. Yuxi's cigarette factory will probably be put into production again in no time. By then, your tobacco leaves will be even less expensive." He Yingrui said again.

"How many tobacco leaves are we still surplus?" Qin Wei asked Xu Yuanju again.

"Ten thousand dan!" Xu Yuan said.

"I want it all." He Yingrui shouted hurriedly without waiting for Qin Wei to speak.

"Sir..." Xu Yuanju looked at Qin Wei in embarrassment. He didn't want to sell the tobacco at all. He also wanted to get the cigarette factory back... It was a treasure pot.

"Sell it." Qin Wei sighed, "I admit defeat this time. However, Brother Jiwu, you can buy my tobacco leaves, but you have to do me a favor."

"Brother, I promise to do my best." He Yingrui said with his chest. He was happy. Guizhou is poor, and officials have been forcing the people to grow opium. After finally, it has finally been a little over the past few years. Who would still be willing to grow those things that cannot be eaten? Moreover, growing big smoke and tobacco. This statement sounds similar. Even if the people understand, they still have a lot of knots in their hearts. Although they can continue to use tough means to force the people to act according to their will, they are different now. The refugees who poured into Guizhou alone have already given them a headache. If Guizhou is forced to do it again, they will be in trouble.

If the people in the land are disgusted, the society may be unstable. They can't afford this responsibility and don't want to bear it. But then again, cigarettes are really not ordinary money-making. In his opinion, this thing is even more profitable than selling big cigarettes. Although it is a war period, there are still many people smoking. Because of the loss of large areas of land, the tobacco in the southwest, especially the cigarette market, is extremely short of money. Guizhou tobacco factory of course has to seize this opportunity. So, after hearing that there is a chance here, he came over with a little consideration... First, he has to ask Qin Wei for help if he has something to do, and second, the opportunity to make a fortune is rare.

"I heard that Brother Jiwu, you have a good relationship with the three banks in Transportation, China and Agricultural Sciences, and you have taken these three banks to Guizhou for investment?" Qin Wei asked again.

"I know a few people," He Yingrui looked at him, "Brother, are you looking for them?"

"Hey. In the war era, you need money everywhere." Qin Wei smiled bitterly.

"I said to Brother Qin, you're not right." He Yingrui smiled: "I believe others are short of money, but I don't believe it as for you."

"I did think I was quite rich before, but I have spent a lot of money recently. And the plate is also big," Qin Wei smiled bitterly. "If you don't believe me, I'll count it with you..."

"No, no, but I'm not talking about you," He Yingrui shook his head and smiled, "Brother, others are looking for a bank, so they are naturally going to ask for help, but if you want to find one, as long as you send a message, no matter which bank it is, it will definitely rush to listen to your instructions... Why bother to find me?"

"I'm afraid I can't afford to pay back the money then. If I have guaranteed it with Brother Jiwu, it will probably be much easier either me or the bank." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"Brother Qin only needs to report a name. I'm afraid you can get a loan of several million from the bank, but you even need a guarantee..." He Yingrui looked at Qin Wei carefully, "How much do you want?"

"Not much, two or three hundred million fiat currencies should be barely enough."

“…”

*********************************************************

"You, did you guarantee him?"

He Yingqin has been very busy recently, very busy, even more busy than when he started a war with the Japanese. Although the Japanese promised to truce for half a year and said that everyone should not cause trouble for each other, this is not credible. What should be arranged must be arranged. In addition, the things that the Soviets could not take away were treasures that all the troops of the National Army could not get, and millions of troops were not jealous. Although the final distribution power was still in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin's suggestion power was also extraordinary, and there were so many people asking for it. Although he was the second-in-commander of the Kuomintang army, some people could not be handed over casually, and it was very troublesome to deal with it. But unexpectedly, the matter here was gone, and his brother suddenly came to Chongqing and brought such a troublesome thing. Even with He Yingqin's knowledge, when he heard the amount of Qin Wei's intention to borrow, he was frightened.

"How dare I?" He Yingrui smiled bitterly, "Two or three hundred million, it's just 'force'! Even if it's all fiat currency, I don't dare to take on this!"

"That's good. Don't get involved in that kid's affairs at least..." He Yingqin breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved, but he looked at He Yingrui again in a blink of an eye: "Why do you say you're going to find Qin Wei when you're okay? I don't know if he can cause trouble the most? Others can't even avoid that ball game. How about you, you dare to take the initiative to put it on your own? I really think you are my brother, so he doesn't dare to cheat you? I tell you, even the chairman, he will cheat you if he wants."

"Third brother, what you said is too exaggerated. Even the chairman dares to cheat him, you think he is..." He Yingrui didn't believe it.

"His surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Wei! From the chairman to the head, to me, I feel a headache when I hear his name, but I just can't help but be helpless. Do you understand?" He Yingqin knocked on the table and shouted.

"Okay, okay, he, Qin, is awesome. But I'm not asking for trouble, I'm going to say good things." He Yingrui said: "Besides, I'm a serious business. The cigarette factory needs raw materials on one hand. Guizhou also wants to build a pharmaceutical factory... In China, no one can be missing from Qin, right?"

"Then you won't send someone else?" He Yingqin was still dissatisfied. He has been paying attention to rural friendship these days. As a native of Guizhou, he naturally has no choice but to have the most profitable industries, medicine and cigarettes. But then again, even for the sake of making money, he can't provoke Qin Wei, the broom star.

"Others need to be qualified." He Yingrui smiled bitterly, "What's more, since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Yunnan, Guizhou has avoided Qin Wei for fear of being too scared, for fear that he would also have one in Guizhou... If this meeting is not done well, and he offended him like Lu Han's group of people, it will be the public enemy of Guizhou."

"Who can you blame me for being in a bad position?" He Yingqin snorted coldly, but Xihu was a little lacking in confidence... He was not afraid, but He Yingrui and two brothers were all in Guizhou. He has been living a lot of life over the years. Not to mention anything else, the biggest landlord in Guizhou is their family. Although he believes that even if Guizhou has established the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office, it is impossible for anyone to take the initiative to provoke him, what if someone jealous of the He family's fortune? If Qin Wei's boy was also evil, he might not be able to hold on. Although it would be a big trouble, he was almost certain to be swept his face. And at this point, isn't it just a face?

"Third brother, this is not the time to say this now. Qin Wei is still waiting for me to reply to him..." He Yingrui said again.

"What are you saying?" He Yingqin asked back.

"I didn't give him a guarantee, he wanted you to come forward! Let me ask." He Yingrui said embarrassedly.

"Are you stupid? If you can't, can I do it?" He Yingqin was furious: "Don't think about it!"

"But he said he hopes you can agree!" He Yingrui said: "And he also said that if he could get the loan, the elders of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces would benefit..."

"Put it less to suppress me. He hopes, but he says he will benefit. This is 200 million or 200 million or 200 million. He thinks it is as simple as two or three oceans?" He Yingqin was furious, "Why didn't he go directly to Kong Xiangxi? The Kong family owed him 10 million pounds, and everything he did was enough."

"He just made this idea... he wanted to use this debt from the Kong family as collateral!" He Yingrui whispered.

"...Mortgage?" He Yingqin's anger suddenly stopped and his face became solemn.

"Yes." He Yingrui also nodded solemnly.

"Hiss--" He Yingqin took a breath, "This kid's methods are getting darker and darker! The four major banks are now pinching in Song Ziwen's hands. He wanted Song Ziwen to help him find Kong Xiangxi to revenge, and he gave me a chance..."
