Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Of course, of course, Mr. Shen, let's talk about the donation schedule!"

This question made Shen He stunned again. He asked in confusion,

“Do you need a timeline for donations?”

"Of course I need it. No one can come up with such a large sum of money casually!"

Shen He expressed serious doubts about Hu Zhenhua's words. Others might not be able to come up with the money, but his company would definitely have no problem. Not to mention anything else, his income from insurance premiums alone would be as high as 40 to 50 million!

"Mr. Hu, as far as I know, their company is very wealthy. Do they still need to raise funds for a mere 10 million?"

"Of course we need it! To support the economic development of Magic City, our company has purchased a large number of production lines and made a large investment in land from the city government. To ease the logistical pressure on the national army, we've also ordered millions of tons of grain and cotton from the United States. All of this costs money!"

Hu Zhenhua glanced at Shen He and started to complain bitterly again.

"You don't know how expensive fuel and food are until you manage a household. We have high revenue in Tong'an, but our expenses are also high. TA's company is still in its development phase, and everything costs money. Not to mention anything else, the nearly 10 million yuan loan is suffocating me. Every day when I open my eyes, I have to pay nearly yuan in interest. Sometimes I often think about just going bankrupt. As for the loans owed to the foreign powers, who cares!"

Shen He's expression became even uglier.

He heard Hu Zhenhua's threat: If you make me go bankrupt, the powers will definitely give you trouble in order to recover their loans!

When it came to foreigners, Shen He became cautious. He lost his previous composure and said with a smile,

"Mr. Hu is a business genius. The profits will far exceed the interest!"

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Shen He calmed down and asked,

"Sir, in your opinion, how should the timetable for this donation be set?"

Hu Zhenhua calculated the time and said,

"My plan is this: when I return, I will collect 10 yuan within three days!

"Raise another 10 within 50 days!"

"20 days later, one million!"

"From now on, every 10 days, TA's company will raise 100 million yuan until the donation reaches 1000 million yuan!

Hu Zhenhua looked at Shen He and said solemnly,

"Mr. Shen, I have to tell you that Tongan has a large investment in the Magic City. If the national army cannot defend the Yangtze River, my promise will be invalid!"

He sneered in his heart: If you want to blackmail grandpa, it depends on whether you are capable enough. If you want to get the donations later, dream on!

Shen He was not easy to fool, so he pondered for a moment and said,

"The soldiers are sleeping in the open air, and many brothers don't even have enough to eat. Mr. Hu, could you please speed up the donation process? After all, with this money, the river defense will be more stable, and your investment in the Magic City will be more secure."

“How do you want to improve?”

"For example, can the first batch of donations be increased to 100 million, and then 100 million every three days?"

Although he used a negotiating tone, Hu Zhenhua could tell that it was unquestionable.

Drawing blood from Tongan on such a large scale is no different from killing the chicken to get the eggs!

Hu Zhenhua decided not to give in anymore. He shook his head.

"According to this schedule, Tongan will go bankrupt immediately!"

Hu Zhenhua interrupted Shen He who was about to speak.

"Mr. Shen, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to his company to investigate. If what I said is false, he can transfer it to Commander Tang free of charge!"

Shen He was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong. His face became serious and he immediately denied it.

"Mr. Hu, please don't misunderstand. This matter has nothing to do with Commander Tang. Your donation will be allocated to the soldiers on the front line!"

It would have been better if he didn't explain. Once he did, it would have been like trying to cover up his mistake and the more he explained, the worse it would have been.

Hu Zhenhua showed an expression that said, "I understand."

"I understand, I understand, Lieutenant Shen. Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped! Please give my regards to Commander Tang. I'll definitely visit him if I get the chance!"

Shen He's face darkened. He didn't want to dwell on this issue any further and said,

"Mr. Hu, could you take a look at the schedule just now?"

Hu Zhenhua refused to give in.

"Either you send troops to raid their company and see if you can steal a million dollars, or you follow my schedule! There's no other way!"

Hu Zhenhua stared at Shen He and shouted,

"Mr. Shen, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with the river defense?"

Shen He was shocked. He never thought that Hu Zhenhua would become the host.

How dare he do that on his own territory?

Shen He was about to get angry when he suddenly remembered: Hu Zhenhua had already agreed to donate money. If people got angry with him, the higher-ups would definitely blame him.

He forced a smile and assured,

"Mr. Hu, please rest assured. The river defenses are impregnable!"

"If it's impregnable, then what's wrong with my schedule? Could it be that if I don't donate, the river defenses will be broken?"

"Sir, you're joking!"

After a moment of silence, Shen He suddenly said,

"Mr. Hu, I suddenly have an idea. Why don't you take the lead in raising funds for river defense? Let's do it in a big way..."

Hu Zhenhua immediately interrupted him,

"Every profession has its own expertise. Fundraising is the Charity Federation's strength. TA company wouldn't dare take credit for it!"

Of course, Hu Zhenhua refused to do this. It was fine if he fell into the trap himself, but how could he go on to trap others? Old Hu could imagine the scene: a group of soldiers holding guns, smiling and asking everyone to donate, all on a 'voluntary basis'!

Soon, another picture appeared in Lao Hu's mind: after collecting the money, the rich will return it in full, and the common people will split it 30% and 70%!

When Shen He heard the word "Charity Federation", he immediately became obedient.

He thought about it for a long time and finally compromised, because as long as his company was still in Shanghai, it would not be able to escape from the control of the Jiang Defense Command.

As for Hu Zhenhua's statement that TA had no money in its account, Shen He did not doubt it, because they had investigated and found that TA's company had indeed purchased a large amount of equipment and supplies.

If that cash is still there, it's killing the goose that lays the eggs.

But without that cash, all we can do is wait patiently for the hen to lay eggs.

Suddenly, Shen He thought of something and reminded Lao Hu,

"Mr. Hu, I hope your donation can be paid to Jiangfang first?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if other departments also ask you to donate, I hope..."

Hu Zhenhua understood that this meant that other departments also wanted to take advantage of the situation!

Tongan's 'escape plan' was too ruthless and cut off the financial resources of countless people. Now, they have reached a tacit understanding and pounced on him one by one, trying to tear a piece of meat from his company!

Bloody meat!

Old Hu looked at Shen He and smiled.

"Mr. Shen, you used the word 'also' very skillfully!"

Shen He's face turned red, but fortunately it was dark and Hu Zhenhua couldn't see clearly.

After the deal was done, Shen He reported to his superiors, while Hu Zhenhua continued to sit by the campfire, warming himself and thinking about his future.

He was very hungry, but he had no choice but to endure it.

About an hour later, Hu Zhenhua suddenly heard the sound of a katydid.

This sound is not obvious among the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects.

But Hu Zhenhua still heard it clearly because he was waiting.

The sound of the katydids meant that Yu Bing had brought reinforcements.

Hu Zhenhua stood up, stretched and twisted his neck!

Yu Bing, who was dozens of meters away, saw Hu Zhenhua shaking his head and chirping like a katydid again. He wanted to make sure that Hu Zhenhua was really safe!

Ten seconds later, he saw Hu Zhenhua shaking his head again.

The security team has more than fifty people, which is more than enough to deal with a platoon.

Yu Bing immediately arranged for the evacuation of the personnel. Originally, they had already entered the attack position, and as long as they received the order, these team members would cut the opponent's throat like ghosts.

However, Yu Bing did not go far.

There were still a few team members left in the grass observing.

Not long after, a convoy arrived at the small checkpoint, led by a man in a Zhongshan suit, wearing glasses and with his hair meticulously combed.

He saw Lao Hu, trotting over, holding out his hand from a distance, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Hu. My humble name is Wan Minyu."
