Chapter 1342 Dowry

When Zhong Yi returned to Zhang Mansion in Jiangbei, he unexpectedly discovered that in addition to Zhang Yuanxi, who had already taken over as mayor of Yinjiang, his father-in-law Zhang Mouzhi, mother-in-law, Zhang Manyi and Zhang Yuanfan were all waiting for him in the living room.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Mouzhi asked anxiously: "Zi Ren, I heard you are going to be on the United States?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "And time is very urgent, let's leave today."

Zhong Yi has this personality. Since he has made a decision, he doesn’t want to delay for a moment and needs to take action immediately.

Before Zhang Mouzhi could speak, Zhong Yi continued: "Man Yi also took the initiative to go to Hong Kong. The medical conditions in Hong Kong are better, and there is no war. Just wait for delivery in Hong Kong."

Zhong Yi doesn't want his child to be born amid the sound of gunfire, it's too cruel.

Zhang Mouzhi nodded and said, "Then I'll let your mother go to Hong Kong with you."

When the son-in-law and son-in-law were talking, Zhang's mother and Zhang Manyi never spoke, but just looked at their men with gentle eyes. In the Zhang family, such major events have always been the ones that men make.

Zhong Yi turned his head and asked Zhang Yuanfan: "Yuanfan, what are you doing recently?"

"What else can you do? Of course it is to repair fortifications." Zhang Yuanfan replied, "But next, there will be a three-month closed training. You cannot go home during the closed training, so you can take a leave today to go home, otherwise you will not be able to see me for three months."

Zhong Yi said: "Aren't you an adjutant? Why do you have to participate in closed training?"

"Brother-in-law." Zhang Yuanfan said nervously, "I have been promoted to captain company commander."

"Company Commander?" Zhong Yi did not blame him as Zhang Yuanfan thought, but instead exhorted, "As the company commander, you have a company tied to your shoulders. The safety of more than 300 brothers must be cautious and diligent."

Zhang Yuanfan stood up and stood attentively and said, "Yes, I will definitely do it."

"There is no need to salute at home." Zhong Yi waved his hand to signal Zhang Yuanfan to sit down, then turned to Zhang Mouzhi and said, "Dad, how much activity funds do our family still have now?"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Mouzhi immediately became alert and covered his chest and said, "Although we have returned some money this month, our stall was too big in the early stage and we have to spend money everywhere. This money is not enough. Do you want to equip nine divisions of the 10th Army with complete American equipment? This is very good, but I tell you that our family really has no money."

Zhong Yi really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the United States to buy another batch of American equipment and equip the nine divisions of the 10th Army with all American equipment.

Speaking of which, the equipment of the six divisions of the former 10th Army was not very good.

Although the 62nd and 63rd Division have been replaced with American equipment, the US equipment has almost lost after the battle of Yinjiang. The US equipment of the Coast Defense Corps has also suffered a lot of losses and urgently needs supplementation.

Another thing is that this month, Yinjiang City Government has just settled a considerable amount of funds with Zhang's Construction Engineering Company, so there are a large amount of idle funds lying on Zhang's Construction Company's account.

So Zhong Yi started to think about the money.

"Dad, it's not taking it, it's borrowing it." Zhong Yi said with a saliva, "I will pay it back."

"It's not okay to borrow, it's not okay." Zhang Mouzhi said decisively, "Wang Yaowu started a reinforcement project as soon as he took office. The project budget is as high as more than 10 million US dollars. We also asked our Zhang family to advance the material payment. I want to borrow money from your second brother, not to mention, don't you still have shares in the penicillin pharmaceutical factory? You can make a lot of money now!"

Yinjiang Penicillin Factory has been completed and put into production, and the benefits are still very good.

The only thing that made Zhong Yi unhappy was that although there were a lot of penicillin sold, there were not much collection.

"What money do you make?" Zhong Yi said angrily, "The National Government is about to go bankrupt, so he took back a bunch of white strips."

According to Zhong Yi's original intention, she would definitely not allow the Sheguan. Most of the materials in Yinjiang were also executed in this way, but penicillin is an exception, and this thing allows the Sheguan of the National Government.

The reason is very simple, penicillin can save veterans of the national army.

With penicillin, a large number of veterans of the National Army who have combat experience can be rescued.

Because of this, Zhong Yi was willing to lose everything even if he lost his fortune.

So far, Zhong Yi has accumulated cash bars worth more than one million US dollars in his hands.

However, this time I went to the United States, Zhong Yi would try to cash out the more than one million dollars in the backlog.

Only a small part of the 45 million US loan obtained by the National Government from the United States through "Tung Oil Borrowing" and "Dian Tin Borrowing" was converted into materials and sent back to China for use in the War of Resistance. Most of the funds were converted into deposits of the Kong family and the Song family in Citibank accounts.

He also shamelessly said that this is used to make money to obtain more money for the War of Resistance.

Therefore, Zhong Yi would not have any pressure on him to try to pry out the money from the hands of Kong and Song families.

However, Zhong Yi would not think that he had too much money, so it would be best to borrow a little more from his father-in-law.

At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "Dad, otherwise, I will give you a golden idea to make money. If you have 500,000 yuan, no, one million dollars, what do you think?"

Zhang Mouzhi widened his eyes and said, "What idea is worth one million dollars?"

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "My golden idea is definitely worth more than one million dollars."

Seeing Zhong Yi's expression, Zhang Mouzhi was inevitably a little skeptical. His little son-in-law had never deceived him, but it was really painful to ask him to take out a million dollars.

Zhang Mouzhi said now: "It's only 500,000, no more."

Seeing the father-in-law and son-in-law bargaining there, Zhang's mother and Zhang Manyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It's only 500,000," Zhong Yi said, "My idea is to take out all the idle funds of the Zhang family and buy military-industrial stocks in the US stock market. If nothing unexpected happens, Japan and the United States will eventually fight within two years. Once the war starts, military-industrial stocks in the US stock market will usher in a long period of rapid growth, and the stock price will increase by more than ten times."

"Um..." Zhang Mouzhi was moved, it was really a way to make money.

However, he was a little worried to ask Zhang Mouzhi to hand over all his property to Zhong Yi.

Zhang Mouzhi knew his son-in-law's nature. This is really a family member who can do anything for the country and the nation. If he doesn't follow him and stare at him, the son-in-law may have used all the money from the Zhang family to buy American equipment. If this is the case, he can't even find the place to cry.

Zhang Mouzhi said at the moment: "In this way, I'll go to the United States with you first. If it's really like you said, I'll give you 500,000 US dollars, but I agreed that I'll borrow it and I'll pay it back in the future."

Zhang's mother couldn't help but push Zhang Mouzhi with her elbow.

Zhang Mouzhi became timid and changed his words: "But you don't have to give it back to me, just give it back to Manyi, just treat it as a dowry for Manyi."
