Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Yu Mansion

According to the above requirements, Li Shaoyi had basically finished all his work in Pujiang, so it was time for him to return to the north. Li Shaoyi came here specifically to say goodbye.

"Some people in Nanjing are getting more and more timid as they get promoted. It was just a few Japanese, and you scared them so much that they even asked you to return to the north. I really don't know what to say to them. They lost that passion back then in the past two years. They're really going backwards."

Old Master Yu curled his lips and said that he was really dissatisfied with these officials in Jinling. He used to be very optimistic about this government, but now...it's better not to say anything!

"Old man, please don't say that. I have my own considerations. I have my own things to do when I go back to the north. In addition to the independent brigade I just got, I also plan to send people deep into the Northeast to build the necessary stations. Anti-Japanese resistance can't just be lip service."

Li Shaoyi's words made Mr. Yu very satisfied. The biggest difference between Li Shaoyi and those passionate young people was that in addition to shouting slogans, he would put these things into practice.

On the other hand, those passionate young people, apart from shouting slogans, probably cannot pose any substantial threat to the Japanese. They may also bring danger to themselves and their families, and always do useless work.

"Here's a bank draft for three million dollars. Take it back to the North and train your army well."

Old Master Yu was also a pragmatist. He took the bank draft from the butler and placed it directly in front of Li Shaoyi, perhaps because he thought that Li Shaoyi, like other warlords, was short of money.

"Old man, I don't accept gifts without merit, and I can't afford to lose anything in the north. There are many traitors and corrupt officials. I don't even care about Japanese businessmen. If I need money, I will ask them for it. I still have enough money in my pocket."

Li Shaoyi knew that the Yu family was rich, but he was not one to eat dinner. He took three million yuan from them right away, which was almost equivalent to the tax revenue of a poor province.

"Just take it if I tell you to. Money can't bite you these days. You have to train your army to fight. All those great generals used to boast about how great their armies were, but if they run into foreigners, they can't just collapse at the first blow. They won't be able to hold out for long. You have to train a strong army. Money is essential. Don't be afraid to spend money. We have money."

Old Master Yu put the bill of exchange into Li Shaoyi's pocket without saying a word.

"Then I won't lie. Besides, some things in Pujiang are too complicated. I'm afraid they might confuse you and Qiu'er after I leave. I've gathered a fifty-man guard at the door. I guarantee their fighting power is no problem in the entire Pujiang area. Take the Japanese Marines, for example. Even five hundred men couldn't take them down."

Li Shaoyi patted his chest and said that what he was most worried about was the safety of the father and son.

"Okay, okay, okay. As long as you don't have to worry about anything, you can stay. I can see that your group is capable. Last night, several of my kung fu masters gave some of your men a practice session. Only the most skilled kung fu masters among me could fight a random group of your men to a draw. I know they are capable."

Old Master Yu was telling the truth. He had been in Pujiang for so many years and had a few tough guys under his command, but these tough guys were actually slightly inferior to the guards under Li Shaoyi.

"Also, I have some foreign goods, all foreign canned cigarettes and the like. There's quite a lot of them. I'll sell them in our foreign goods store. I can sell hundreds of thousands of goods a month, and the profit should be over 30%."

Li Shaoyi took a list nonchalantly. Old Master Yu didn't care about such a small business and handed it directly to the butler.

"Sir, who told you about the 30% profit?"

The butler looked at the goods on top and his glasses almost fell off. Li Shaoyi and Old Man Yu did not object to his address. Only Yu Qiuer, who came downstairs, blushed again after hearing it.

"I just estimated it myself, is there anything wrong with that?"

Li Shaoyi said with some confusion that he estimated that this price was higher than the retail price in Peking. You know, the prices in Pujiang and Peking are different, but it can't be sky-high.

"Take Coca-Cola for example. You're offering two dollars a can, but the wholesale price in Pujiang is already three dollars. In a foreign goods store, it's three dollars and eighty cents, and in a big restaurant, it might be six or seven dollars. If we sell it to customers, if we can save ten cents on the wholesale price, we can sell a lot more goods, which means a profit of nearly 50%."

The butler knew that Li Shaoyi would soon become the eldest brother-in-law, so when doing business, he would never take advantage of the eldest brother-in-law and had to tell the eldest brother-in-law this number.

"It doesn't matter where, just do whatever you want. I'm just supplying you with goods. You decide how much you'll get from the sales."

Li Shaoyi's indifference is not just pretended, but the real thing.

Old Master Yu and the chief steward were both people who had judged countless people. If they hadn't judged people correctly, such a huge family business would have been taken away by others long ago, so they became more and more satisfied with Li Shaoyi.

"Master, the people from Detai Trading Company will be arriving at the company soon. Should we go over there?"

Seeing the eldest lady coming down, the butler was very discerning. The young couple must have some private words to say, and if we sit here, they really can't say it.

"You two can chat for a while. I won't see you off when you leave. Keep in touch. If Qiu'er is okay, I'll take her to Beiping to see her."

Old Master Yu was young once, and he has several concubines at home. Naturally, he knows what love is all about. He can't just not give the young couple a chance to chat because he likes a woman.

Li Shaoyi nodded openly, but Yu Qiuer couldn't say a word in front of her father.

After the old man and the butler left, Li Shaoyi and Yu Qiuer took a walk on the lawn. The Yu family's house was really too big. He originally thought that his house was not small, but compared with this manor, it was just like a thatched hut.

"When will you return from Peking?"

Yu Qiuer said a little embarrassedly.

"That's just a matter of your words. Just one phone call and I guarantee it will be as fast as possible."

For people in modern society, coaxing girls is as easy as eating...
