Chapter 58 Go with the flow
George's words were like a huge rock thrown into the lake, instantly causing huge waves in Chen Yang's heart.
Chen Yang couldn't help but curse himself for being so slow to realize it.
When he saw Kong Lingwei appear, he should have thought that this guy was famous for his wealth and even the bald man praised her talent for business.
Without any huge benefits, how could she appear in the Shanghai Stock Exchange...
What Chen Yang didn't know was that the war of resistance had just begun and all kinds of supplies were in short supply. This move by the French soon aroused the vigilance of the British MI6.
Burma was a British colony and landing there required their consent.
As for entering China from Myanmar, one would have to depend on the Kong family’s attitude.
Others may not know, but those of us who work in intelligence know clearly that the future owner of this important transportation route connecting the southwest to Myanmar will be the eldest son of the Kong family, Kong Lingkan.
Speaking of the main transportation routes in the southwest, we have to mention the Burma Road, which is known as the blood transfusion blood vessel during the Anti-Japanese War...
At the end of the 200th year of the Republic of China, after the defeat in the Battle of Shanghai, the Nationalist government, fearing problems with the transportation of supplies, formally ordered the Chairman of Yunnan Province to allocate million yuan from the Executive Yuan to repair the Yunnan-Burma Highway within one year and open up an international transportation line.
The Burma Road is related to national defense, military and the future of the war of resistance. The Yunnan Provincial Government dare not neglect it...
After deliberation by the parliament, the Yunnan Provincial Government adopted the "extraordinary period" mobilization method, and issued a notice to all counties and administrative bureaus along the road, requiring the mobilization of 12 farmers from counties in western Yunnan to volunteer to build the road by December, and the project must be completed within one year.
In December of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway officially started.
Part of the Army Independent Engineering Corps and a construction team directly under the Ministry of Communications, which had the highest level of road construction engineering technology and construction technical force at the time, were urgently transferred to Yunnan Province to be responsible for key projects in the throat area and important roads and bridges.
In August of the 27th year of the Republic of China, after nine months of hard work, the Yunnan-Burma Highway was finally completed and opened to traffic ahead of schedule...
Therefore, Chen Yang was certain that it was no coincidence that the Englishman Donald and the spendthrift woman Kong Lingwei appeared at the party at the same time.
According to his speculation, Kong Lingwei is likely to join forces with the British to do something big.
If I could take advantage of this opportunity, I wouldn't say how much, but I should be able to make a few hundred thousand dollars.
"George, I understand. I'll get someone to buy the supplies right away." Chen Yang understood the whole story and immediately agreed.
At this time, George said slowly: "Chen, I have a suggestion. I don't know if you are willing to listen to it."
"What do you want to say?"
"The Japanese Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly has the most supplies now. You have a good relationship with the Japanese. If possible, we can join forces and take over all their goods..."
"This..." Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, nodded heavily and said: "Okay, leave it to me..."
George nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said: "Chen, the day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve in your country, come to my house for dinner."
"Let's talk about your engagement ceremony with Hayley."
"Ah..." Chen Yang was stunned...
The next day, Datong Pawn Shop.
This is a long-established pawnshop in the Shanghai International Settlement.
This pawnshop was opened when the Aisin-Gioro clan was in power. The owner was a Shanxi merchant and he did a big business.
After Chen Yang arrived at the pawnshop, he took out the pawn ticket and paid ten dollars plus one dollar and seventy cents in interest, and soon got the Guan Gong statue that Shen Congwen had pawned.
As soon as Chen Yang got his hands on the statue, he immediately noticed the problem.
Wrong weight...
Chen Yang has been practicing Kung Fu since he was a child to hone his strength, and the sensitivity of his arms far exceeds that of ordinary people.
In addition, he has been engaged in business since he was young, and his hands are like electronic scales and are very sensitive to weight.
This wooden Guan Gong statue feels much lighter in the hand than you might imagine.
Could it be that there is something else going on?
After bringing the Guan Gong statue back to the International Hotel, Chen Yang searched around for a long time but still found no clues.
The only thing that is certain is that the middle of this statue is definitely empty.
After racking his brains for a long time, Chen Yang still couldn't think of any good solution.
He didn't know if there were any mechanisms inside this thing, and he wasn't sure if forcing it open would damage the items inside.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yang patted his forehead and thought to himself that he was confused.
Xiao Tongqiao is an expert at these underworld tricks.
That damn place is full of all kinds of people, so why do you need to imagine things here?
Having made up his mind, Chen Yang took a package, wrapped up the Guan Gong statue, and headed straight for Xiaotong Bridge.
Treasure House...
When Ah Fu saw Chen Yang taking out the Guan Gong statue with a sad face, he smiled instantly.
"Boss Chen, this is called the Fortune Guan Gong. It is a tool used by the Hongmen to hide important information."
"I've handled this thing several times, and I know how to open it."
"You know?" Chen Yang was overjoyed when he heard this.
Ah Fu took the statue of Guan Gong, took the Guan Dao from Guan Gong's hand, turned the blade around, and reinserted it.
Turn left three times, then right three times, and with a click, the secret compartment on the back of the Guan Gong statue popped out.
"Here you go," Ah Fu took out the things inside and handed them to Chen Yang.
There were three things in the secret compartment: a token engraved with the words "Heavenly Father and Earth Mother", a key to the central bank's safe, and a personal seal with Shen Congwen's name.
After seeing these things, Chen Yang realized that he had hidden the $100,000 donation in the safe of the central bank.
Haha, he is quite courageous and cunning.
Chen Yang put the three things in his pocket, turned around and said, "Ahfu, thank you. By the way, go and call everyone over. I have something to tell you."
Ah Fu responded, quickly picked up his clothes and ran out.
In the backyard warehouse, the Fang brothers and others came to the warehouse one after another.
"Ahem," Chen Yang cleared his throat and said, "The cargo will arrive at Wusongkou Wharf tomorrow."
"Third brother, tell them to get ready and unload the cargo as soon as the ship arrives."
"The Japanese have already negotiated, and no one will stop you then."
Mao Laosan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have found good people, so there will be no problems."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment, looked at the Fang brothers and said, "Shijie, you still have a few warehouses, how much can you store?"
Fang Shijie calculated silently and said, "There are probably four or five of them. Two or three hundred thousand supplies won't be a problem."
"Too few," Chen Yang said, "Is there any way to get ten warehouses?"
"Ten warehouses?" That's five or six hundred thousand dollars' worth of supplies. Fang Shijie was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Boss Chen, why do you need so many warehouses?"
Chen Yang frowned and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"I just want to know, can you do it?"
Fang Shijie said in embarrassment: "Boss Chen, we do have ten warehouses, but if we clear them all out, we won't make much money from some of the goods."
Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "Never mind. I have to sell it even if it doesn't make money."
"How about this, I'll give you half a month to free up ten warehouses."
"I don't care about the price of the goods, as long as I can break even. If there is a loss, I will make up for the loss..."
