Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Zhang Wenwu ignored the doubts of Mr. Xue Si and Hu San, and asked Hu San: "Does Chen Mingzhang have any channels for opium?"

Hu San was stunned. This officer was not following the rules. He and Mr. Xue Si were still waiting for him to explain. However, he still had to answer Zhang Wenwu's question immediately. After thinking carefully, he replied, "As far as I know, Chen Mingzhang has no channels for opium."

"Very good, that's great if there isn't any." Zhang Wenwu was very happy.

This completely confused Hu San and Xue Siye. Xue Siye had to ask in a low voice: "Deputy Director Zhang, what are you up to? I really can't figure it out." Hu San nodded. He was too curious.

Zhang Wenwu thought for a moment, then slowly said to Master Xue Si and Hu San, "I have a new plan. Master Xue Si, Brother Hu, please help me with the plan."

"Didn't Chen Mingzhang want to sell some of the opium? No problem, I'll give it all to him. The Japanese still want to get back 50% of the cost, but that's just a dream. If we give them the money, just like I said at the beginning, won't we become traitors? Then they will use the money we give to build guns and cannons to fight us Chinese, then what will we become? So, it's impossible to give the Japanese a penny." Zhang Wenwu took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "My plan is this. First, I said I can help deal with this batch of goods, but I won't participate. I'm only responsible for introducing buyers. The Japanese will definitely not come forward to contact the buyers themselves. I will suggest that they send Chen Mingzhang to contact the buyers, and when Chen Mingzhang takes the goods to trade, hehe."

Fourth Master Xue was an experienced man. He understood Zhang Wenwu's new plan immediately and smiled with wrinkles on the spot: "Deputy Director Zhang, what a good plan! It doesn't cost a penny, but it makes money. It doesn't even take a penny out of our pockets. It can even cut off the relationship completely. It's brilliant, really brilliant."

Hu San now understood Zhang's new plan. It was ridiculous that Chen Mingzhang was still dreaming of getting rich, but Zhang had already got him under his control. When Chen Mingzhang was sold out, he would probably have to thank Zhang. Look at Zhang's head, that's real talent and knowledge. How did he come up with all these ideas?

The next day, Zhang Wenwu called Chen Mingzhang in the afternoon and asked him to tell Kojima Kenzo to have dinner together in the evening and to talk about the opium. This made Chen Mingzhang very happy. After hanging up the phone, he went to report to Kojima Kenzo. After coming out of Kojima Kenzo's room, Chen Mingzhang happily thanked Hu San: "Brother Hu, thanks to you for calling me out of Chunfeng Building at noon. You were worried that Kojima Taijun would look for me, but you didn't expect that it was Brother Zhang who would call me. Good things, good things."

Hu San said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this luck is here and it can't be stopped. It seems we can all make money. Haha." Hu San cursed Chen Mingzhang in his heart. When he dragged him back to the hotel at noon, this loser was still unconvinced and angry, saying that he was too worried and that Kojima Kenzo would not look for him. Now he is happy as if nothing had happened. This loser has no brains and deserves to be sold.

At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Mingzhang and Hu San were still waiting for Zhang Wenwu at the hotel gate. This time, Chen Mingzhang took the initiative to wait here without any complaints.

As soon as Zhang Wenwu got off the rickshaw, Chen Mingzhang came to greet him and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you for making another trip. Lady Kojima is already waiting inside."

Zhang Wenwu looked at Chen Mingzhang, then pulled Chen Mingzhang aside and whispered, "Mr. Chen, I have found a few buyers for the opium, but my identity is a bit special, so it is not easy for me to contact them directly. I thought about it and decided to let you handle this batch of goods. You are my good brother, and I trust you. I feel relieved to let you handle the matter. It should be no problem to ask Brother Hu San to help you. After the transaction is completed, I will take half of the profit, and you and Brother Hu will share the other half. What do you think?"

Chen Mingzhang was so shocked by the good news that he didn't react. It was not until Hu San excitedly pulled Chen Mingzhang's arm that he reacted and said gratefully: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you." He didn't expect that Zhang Wenwu trusted him so much that he actually handed over all the goods to him to handle, and even found several buyers for him. This was really a way of giving him money. He was really lucky.

Seeing that Chen Mingzhang agreed, Zhang Wenwu smiled and walked towards the restaurant on the first floor.

At the dinner table, when Zhang Wenwu said that he had found several buyers, but it was inconvenient for him to contact these buyers because of his sensitive identity, Xiaodao Jianzo was a little confused. Are you going to do it or not? So he could only ask tentatively: "Deputy Director Zhang, what do you mean..."

Zhang Wenwu took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "Mr. Xiaodao, how about this? I will introduce the buyer to you, and you can contact him yourself. When the time comes, you can give me a little commission. What do you think?"

"Then how much introduction fee do you want?" Kenzo Kojima didn't believe what Zhang Wenwu said about "just a little introduction fee", but he felt that it was true that it was inconvenient for Zhang Wenwu to contact the buyer in person.

Zhang Wenwu put down his wine glass and said slowly: "To be honest with you Mr. Kojima, in order to find buyers for this batch of goods, I begged for help everywhere and used up a lot of connections before I found these buyers who can afford the price. I have talked my mouth off countless times for this matter. For this matter, I was always on the phone while on duty, and delayed the work of the Quartermaster Department. As a result, I was scolded by my superiors. I don't want too much. I just think of it as helping out, and 50% of the profit is enough." After Zhang Wenwu finished speaking, he put on an expression that said I was very righteous.

Xiaodao Jiansan is defeated. He doesn't know why Zhang Wenwu is so shameless. Listen to the reasons you gave. Which one of them is convincing? Please, if you want to find a reason to ask for more money, please find a reasonable reason. I can give you the money, but don't disgust me.

Kojima Kenzo couldn't help but twitch his mouth, but he still had a professional smile on his face: "Deputy Director Zhang, you've worked so hard to help me. This price is really low, really." He cursed in his heart: You basically didn't do anything, didn't spend a penny, at most you just acted as a matchmaker, and you dare to ask for 50% of the profit, how dare you ask? Greedy, too greedy, not only extremely greedy, but also shameless, very shameless, extremely shameless.

When Zhang Wenwu saw that Kenzo Kojima agreed, he immediately put on a happy expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Kojima really understands me. By the way, Mr. Kojima, in my personal opinion, you'd better not contact those buyers. After all, your Japanese identity may cause some trouble. It is better to find a trustworthy Chinese to do this." Zhang Wenwu kindly reminded.

Kojima Kenzo was in a better mood. Zhang Wenwu still cared about him, which was good. He also knew that Zhang Wenwu was telling the truth. Now the Japanese in China would be opposed no matter what business they did, unless they were die-hard supporters of Japan. But Zhang Wenwu's buyers were obviously not die-hard supporters of the Empire of Japan, otherwise Zhang Wenwu would not have reminded him. He also knew that Zhang Wenwu seemed to be kind in reminding him, but in fact he was mainly afraid that his contact with buyers would affect the transaction of goods, which would affect his own plan to make money. Thinking of this, Kojima Kenzo couldn't help but curse again in his heart: shameless and greedy Zhang Wenwu.

"Thank you for your concern, Deputy Director Zhang. We will arrange for Mr. Chen to handle this matter. What do you think?" Kojima Kenzo felt bitter. The only Chinese person he could trust around him was the waste Chen Mingzhang. But he needed to tell Zhang Wenwu. If Zhang Wenwu also agreed, then if Chen Mingzhang messed up, and you, Zhang Wenwu, agreed, you can't blame yourself then. With Zhang Wenwu's shameless character, he must think of someone to take the blame, so that it will not affect the future cooperation.

Chen Mingzhang heard this and thought, "You guys finally talked about me. I've been waiting for more than half an hour, and I haven't even eaten a bite of food. You must be in a hurry."

Zhang Wenwu looked at Chen Mingzhang who was looking at him eagerly, nodded vigorously and said, "Mr. Chen's words are fine. He is also a good brother I trust very much. I agree with Mr. Kojima's proposal."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Mingzhang's heart immediately "burst into tears" and he was deeply moved.

Seeing that Zhang Wenwu also agreed, Kojima Kenzo said to Chen Mingzhang, who looked very excited: "Mr. Chen, you will be in charge of this matter. You must handle it well. Do you understand?"

Chen Mingzhang immediately patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and asked Mrs. Kojima and Brother Zhang to rest assured.

That night, in the private room of Hongyun Casino, Chen Mingzhang was hugging two girls from Chunfeng Tower and playing with money happily. He didn't even care about the random bets made by the two girls. With the business given by Brother Zhang, he would definitely not be short of money recently. Maybe he could negotiate a higher price and even pay back all the "high money" he owed. The more Chen Mingzhang thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't even feel anything when he saw the chips in front of him getting fewer and fewer.

When Hu San called Chen Mingzhang up from his bed in Chunfeng Tower, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. If Hu San hadn't called him, Chen Mingzhang would have continued to sleep.

"Mr. Chen, you can't sleep anymore. You have to discuss business with the buyers introduced by Brother Zhang." Hu San reminded helplessly.

When Chen Mingzhang heard that he had to negotiate with the buyer, he immediately perked up. He jumped up, put on his clothes and quickly washed up. He even deliberately put more hair wax on his hair, looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, and then, at Hu San's urging, went to the casino to wait for the buyer to arrive.

If Kenzo Kojima knew that Chen Mingzhang was negotiating with the buyer in the casino, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. You are really amazing to be able to negotiate the opium deal in a place like a casino where all kinds of people gather.
