Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Upon hearing this, Feng Ye and Leopard Ye quickly waved their hands. If they still wanted to profit from such a great opportunity, their fellow underworld figures would laugh at them for lacking any sense of perspective.

However, Master Cui said meaningfully, "These are two different things. How can you expect people to work without paying them? This is not a small project; it will require at least a hundred people to work for one or two months."

"Moreover, this mission was commissioned by a big shot, and the reward is sufficient. No one involved will be treated unfairly."

"This time we need a total of one hundred people. The task can be completed within a month. The individual reward is two hundred silver dollars. As for the rewards for the two gangs, after the mission is completed, they can get a 20% discount on any supplies or intelligence they purchase from our Dafeng Hall. In addition, there will be one more opportunity to purchase special supplies."

"For example, sniper rifles, military radios, and even mortars."

"By the way, let me tell you two, our Great Wind Hall has obtained a top-secret information. There is an extremely hidden place outside the city that is used to train professional mortar operators. Our Great Wind Hall has also recently obtained a few tokens."

"That place is very strange. It only recognizes tokens. As long as someone has a token and the latest communication code, they can participate in the corresponding training and can also buy a 60mm mortar and shells there."

"The Great Wind Hall has acquired a few tokens this time. After this mission is completed, we will give one to each of your families."

Upon hearing what Master Cui said, Master Feng and Master Leopard exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with surprise, shock, and ambition.

That's right, it's ambition.

There's a saying abroad: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier."

In ancient Chinese terms, it would be: "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

Back in the day, the four tycoons of Shanghai were incredibly powerful. They could get whatever they wanted, and anyone who dared to oppose them probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.

Even the police stations in the foreign concessions and the police stations in Shanghai gave these big shots a wide berth. They controlled many lucrative businesses in Shanghai and were the envy of all gangs.

At that time, Tiefeng Hall and Jingwu Society were just minor figures, not even worth the attention of those big shots.

As the saying goes, "Times create heroes."

Shanghai is currently in a period of great change, and everyone wants to become the next tycoon and dominate the entire city.

To recruit soldiers and expand one's power, in addition to a good reputation, one must also be able to acquire weapons and equipment to arm one's subordinates; both are indispensable.

The three rewards that Master Cui just mentioned were all incredibly astonishing, almost shocking.

The first one is barely acceptable. Currently, their most ordinary gang members are paid ten silver dollars a month, elite underlings are paid fifteen, and small leaders are paid even more.

Although the Da Feng Tang mission will pay 100 silver dollars a month, the price is reasonable for such a risky business.

If there are a hundred people, the total would only be ten thousand silver dollars, which is not much. For the large and powerful Tiefeng Hall and Jingwu Society, it is not a lot of money.

But the second reward is incredibly tempting: a 20% discount on supplies, and it's permanent, which is crucial for the development of a gang.

By this calculation, you can save 2,000 dollars on weapons and equipment worth 10,000 dollars, and 20,000 dollars on weapons and equipment worth 100,000 dollars. Over time, this can save a lot of money.

As for custom-made weapons, that's something both gangs have been eyeing for a long time, but they just didn't have the means to get them before.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to conduct mortar operation training. Once the two gangs have mortars, their prestige will reach its peak.

After all, even the gangs of Shanghai's four tycoons back then weren't equipped with mortars. If they had such heavy firepower, they could shell the enemy from several kilometers away. Just thinking about it is exciting.

The most sensational event a few days ago was that the enemy military police headquarters in Shanghai was shelled, killing hundreds of Japanese soldiers and even their highest commander. This was an unprecedented event.

If we were to name the enemies that the people of Shanghai hated most, the enemy military police would definitely be in the top three. Now that they saw their enemy suffer such a great loss, the people were overjoyed.

Several days have passed, but no one knows who did it, which leaves everyone feeling a little regretful.

If the Iron Peak Hall and the Jingwu Society also possessed mortars and enough shells, they could easily earn the respect of everyone in the underworld by bombarding the headquarters of the fake No. 76 Special Agent.

With a good reputation and the support of Da Feng Tang, expanding our strength will be a piece of cake.

Finally, Master Cui gave specific instructions, especially emphasizing the need to select loyal and reliable people and to ensure that no word of the incident leaked out.

After the two left, he went to another place where there were several unique job fairs.

Liu Yifan, male, 24 years old, graduated from the Department of Architecture, Shanghai University.

He originally had a happy and fulfilling family. His father was an industrialist with several large factories, and his mother was a well-known philanthropist in Shanghai. He also had an older brother and a younger sister.

Liu's father was a patriotic businessman who had studied mechanical manufacturing in the United States in his early years. After returning from his studies, he opened several large factories, hoping to use industry to save the country and people who had suffered many disasters.

However, if one wants to do business in China, one will inevitably clash with ordinary businessmen. Liu's father is a man of strong principles and has long been disgusted by those unscrupulous businessmen running rampant in China.

He then led many patriotic businessmen in a fierce commercial war against the enemy, causing them to pay a heavy price and even leading to the bankruptcy of many Japanese trading companies.

That was truly a turbulent era. Although the Nationalist government officials were somewhat spineless, they didn't dare to go too far. At that time, the merchants in Shanghai were still very powerful, and most of them were quite united, working together to resist the encroachment of enemy trading companies. The fighting was evenly matched, and the enemy didn't gain too much advantage.

However, this situation only lasted until the enemy launched a full-scale invasion and the National Revolutionary Army suffered a complete defeat in the Battle of Shanghai, at which point everything changed completely.

Those damned Japanese businessmen, unable to compete openly, resorted to underhanded tactics, having the enemy army confiscate the Liu family's assets and even having the Special Higher Police arrest Liu Yifan's father, trying to force him to become a traitor and use his reputation to do their bidding.
