Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry
Chapter 649: Old classmates everywhere
Quancheng is now the territory of the national government, but it was inconspicuous before, so no one paid attention to it. At most, they just set up a contact point to collect intelligence.
But since cargo ships from overseas arrived at the port every once in a while and brought back large quantities of supplies, everything here has changed.
The Military Control Commission immediately set up a relatively large station here in order to obtain a large amount of low-priced supplies. Not only the Military Control Commission, but also other forces, such as the Central Control Commission, the Guangxi Army, the Guangdong Army and some local forces did the same.
Kong Hao also adjusted the material transportation method as soon as possible. In addition to increasing the size of the cargo ship, he also sold all the transportation materials on the spot. At the same time, he also purchased various materials and transported them back to the Kangaroo Country base.
After all, as long as these supplies are shipped back to the country, no matter which force they are given to, they can help stabilize prices. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army base has opened up several transportation lines from other places, so there will be no shortage of basic supplies in the short term.
In addition, Kong Hao can transport back a large amount of materials through space at no cost. He just needs to put them in the corresponding warehouse in the industrial zone. Nothing can save money more than this.
There are many forces eyeing Quangang now. If we transport supplies to the base, it will easily be discovered by those interested. There is no need to take this risk.
Director Xu came here on official business under the orders of the headquarters, similar to the imperial envoys in ancient times, so he was warmly welcomed by the Quangang Military Control Station as soon as he arrived.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, but with a sharp gleam in his eyes, who greeted me politely:
"Director Xu, you've worked hard on this journey. We've received a telegram from our superiors. Don't worry, all of our colleagues at Quangang Station will absolutely cooperate with you."
"I've specially prepared some wine at the best hotel in the city. I hope you can come and welcome me."
At this time, Director Xu is no longer the waiter who can be bullied by anyone. Because he has made great achievements during this period, he is now a lieutenant colonel and has been promoted to director of the Materials Preparation Department. He is also highly regarded by Boss Dai, who has praised him in several internal meetings, saying that he is a capable and practical person.
In addition to Lao Zheng's connections, no matter where he went, as long as it was in the territory of the Military Control Commission, everyone would give him some face.
But when he heard that they were going to eat again, and that it was so extravagant, he showed an unhappy expression and frowned and said:
"Stationmaster Wu, this is a national crisis. There are wars everywhere, and supplies are in short supply. We should lead by example and not seek personal gain."
"We can just stay at the Military Control Station. We can just cook a few side dishes and have a simple meal. There's no need to be so extravagant. By the way, I'll give you an update on the situation here."
"The higher-ups sent me here this time to rebuild a supply transportation line to continuously ship back the low-priced goods here. As long as we do this well, everyone will have contributed greatly. It's not impossible that Boss Dai will personally award medals to those who have made contributions."
Stationmaster Wu originally wanted to flatter the boss, but he didn't expect to hit the horse's leg. He originally thought that this waiter of the Military Control Commission was an easy person to control. After all, in the Military Control Commission headquarters, no one took this waiter seriously.
At this moment, he could only sigh: "Sometimes, people's opportunities are unpredictable. A person was considered dead and thought that this was the end of his life, with no great prospects. But suddenly, he met a noble person and was able to rise to the top in one step."
Next, he could only lead the people into the station, ask the chef to prepare some home-cooked dishes, and call several key persons in charge of the station to accompany the guests.
"Waiter, I never thought that the distinguished guest the stationmaster was talking about would be you."
"Quan Zhili, Quan Fatty, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land."
After that, the two gave each other a warm hug and patted each other on the back to express their joy.
Stationmaster Wu then asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"
"Stationmaster Wu, let me tell you, Fatty Quan and I were classmates in the special training class. By the way, which batch were we in?"
"In the temporary training class, your overall score was second to last, and mine was last."
"It can't be helped. You're first in combat, but last in strategic analysis. I'm the exact opposite of you. We're completely in the same boat."
Since they were acquaintances, the next step would be easy. Stationmaster Wu asked everyone else in the station to leave, leaving only the captain to accompany him, so that it would be easier to talk later.
At the same time, because Director Xu had said so in advance, Stationmaster Wu also prepared some home-cooked dishes and a jar of local liquor.
Fatty Quan first poured a bowl of wine for his direct superior, and then for Director Xu. After seeing this, Stationmaster Wu nodded continuously, praising Captain Quan in his heart for his sensible subordinate and a promising talent.
In this situation, it is very important to know how to handle human relationships. Stationmaster Wu is the immediate superior of all the team leaders. Although Director Xu is now also a special commissioner, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
No matter how good the relationship between Captain Quan and Director Xu is, it is just a friendship between classmates. Director Xu will eventually go back after dealing with things here, but he has to work under Stationmaster Wu forever. He can offend anyone but not his immediate superior.
Moreover, with the relationship with his old classmates, he, as the action team leader, will definitely have a bright future in the station, unlike now where he is bullied everywhere because he has no backing.
After seeing this, Director Xu could only sigh, "Environment really can change a lot of people. This stubborn fat guy has started to use his brain."
He is a shrewd man and knows this kind of thing better than anyone else. He also wants to take the opportunity to help his old classmate. After all, Quangang is an extremely important place in the future, and it will be easier to get things done if you have acquaintances.
"Today's meal is quite sumptuous, with beef and mutton, which is rare in our area. It's really a waste of money."
These words are indeed true. In the mountain city, let alone beef and mutton, even if you want to get some pork to satisfy your hunger, it will be sky-high priced.
Stationmaster Wu was not in a position to answer this question directly, so he simply gave a look to the captain, who understood and immediately said with a smile:
"Old classmate, you don't know this. These are all made from canned goods. We are a port city after all. Ships dock here every day, especially those large cargo ships that weigh thousands of tons. They always bring in huge amounts of supplies."
"Those cargo owners are also very considerate. They provide our Military Control Station with one ton of canned goods and ten tons of grain every month for free. We brothers also benefit a lot from this and can eat delicious meals every day."
"And we didn't force it on them by relying on the power of the Military Control Commission. They offered it to us on their own initiative, and we couldn't refuse it."
