The middle-aged man immediately became nervous, and the two young men subconsciously leaned over.

"Nothing." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's just some machinery and equipment, not worth much money."

"The machinery and equipment are not valuable? Are you coaxing ghosts? These are hens who can lay golden eggs!" Zhong Yi whispered a few words in his heart, but he did not expose the middle-aged man.

Zhong Yi asked again: "Did you move out of Nanjing? Why are you staying here and not leaving?"

At this time, the middle-aged man also realized that Zhong Yi should have no bad intentions and his expression was a little relaxed.

The middle-aged man replied: "Yes, we moved out of Nanjing, but if people are unlucky, they will be stuck in their teeth. As soon as they arrive at Langxi, they encounter the Japanese entering the city. As a result, the porter hired to run away and run away. They are in a panic and don't know where to throw money, so they can only spend it here."

Zhong Yi said: "Your factory has so many equipment, and the scale should be quite large. Why don't you go through the water?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said with a bitter face: "A thought is just a matter of difference!"

It seems that middle-aged people have not found a suitable partner for a long time. They feel too much distress in their hearts. When they get the chance, they will immediately feel bitter.

"Mr. Jun, I'm going to tell you that our Dafengnian ammonium sulfate factory had just been built before Nanjing fell, but the products were really popular. They had been booked out before they even left the factory." Speaking of the peak, a strange light immediately appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and he said, "The managers of several foreign companies were worried that they would not be able to buy the goods, and even paid the full payment in advance!"

Zhong Yi was slightly moved when he heard this. Ammonium sulfate factory? This is a fertilizer! In this era, can fertilizers not be sold well?

He paused at this point, and the middle-aged man slapped his thigh again and said in great anger: "Because the products are so popular, I was also greedy for a while, so I continued to produce and did not close the business and pack the equipment according to the deadline required by the National Government. I originally thought that the Japanese would have to three to five months to get to Nanjing, but who would have thought!"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man slapped his hands suddenly, and he couldn't continue to say anything, but his annoyance was beyond words.

Who would have thought that the Kuomintang army would be defeated so quickly, and who would have thought that the Japanese would have fought to Nanjing so quickly?

After a while, the middle-aged man adjusted his mood and continued: "It was too late to disassemble the equipment, pack it, and then order the train and ferries. Not only has the fees and transportation increased to the sky, but even if you can afford the sky-high price, you can no longer order the train and ferries. All the train and ferries have been requisitioned by the government."

After a pause, the middle-aged man said again: "There is no way, we can only hire a porter to ship equipment to take the land. As a result, we met the Japanese in Langxi and entered the city. The year is not good, which is really bad."

Zhong Yi said: "Then have you ever thought about what to do next?"

"What else can I do?" said the middle-aged man sadly, "I really have no choice."

Zhong Yi was silent and didn't think of a solution. This batch of equipment could only be cheaper for the Japanese!

Zhong Yi said at the moment: "By the way, I don't know what you call me yet?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "The surname is Li, Li Xudong, Muzili, Xudong with the rising sun."

"So it's Boss Li." Zhong Yi said with his fists, "I am Zhong Yi, the commander of the 367th Regiment of the Central Army. If you need help, you can go to the East Shelter Station in Chengdong to find me at any time."

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this.

The two young men behind were also dumbfounded.

Zhong Yi smiled slightly and took Zhao Hanxing to leave.

When he reached the corner, Zhao Hanxing couldn't help asking Zhong Yi: "Tongzhang, do you really want to help this guy? He just said that he didn't know where the money and goods were lost! Taking them with him would only be a burden!"

"Shut up!" Zhong Yi said viciously, "You know nothing!"

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Those equipment just now can match a group of troops of the Central Army!"

"What?" It was Zhao Hanxing's turn to be dumbfounded. Can those equipment stand up to a group of troops?

Zhong Yi was too lazy to explain more to Zhao Hanxing, the gangster, because he didn't understand some truths even after he said it.

It is no exaggeration to Zhong Yi say that these equipment can be as good as a group of Central Army troops, because if these equipment are safely transported to the rear and rebuilt and put into production, the energy source will continue to produce fertilizers. With fertilizers, crops can increase their production. Even if they only produce 5,000 tons per year, how much grain can they increase their income each year and how many troops can they support?

What's more, Zhong Yi estimates that the production capacity of Dafengnian ammonium sulfate plant is more than 5,000 tons!

Therefore, we must take away this batch of equipment no matter what, and we must never be cheap!

...

However, Zhong Yi had just had this idea in his heart and immediately encountered a huge test.

Because the two of them walked forward not long ago, they encountered almost the same situation again, and piled up boxes in a mess on the street, with middle-aged people sitting on it.

Zhong Yi went up and asked, and found out that this middle-aged man was the owner of a flour mill in Nanjing.

And the wooden boxes behind him contained all the equipment of the flour mill.

It was not until this time that Zhong Yi suddenly realized that he had encountered a "wandering light industry".

According to historical records, before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the light industry in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was actually very developed. In the so-called golden decade of the Republic of China, in addition to the real estate industry, the fastest-growing industry was light industry.

These light industries mainly focus on food, textile, papermaking, printing, pharmaceuticals, and small chemical industries.

After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, light industries moved inward and first moved to Nanjing. Nanjing was about to be lost, so large business owners looked for government relations and ran away from railways and waterways. However, no one cared about their lives and deaths. They could only find a way to Langxi. They walked all the way to Langxi and were intercepted by the Japanese.

Later, the Japanese advanced to Nanjing, and the third war zone was revived.

However, at this time, most of these small workshop owners and small business owners were exhausted, and although the equipment was there, they no longer had the ability to transport these equipment away.

Later, some of the small workshop owners and small business owners tried every means to transport the equipment to the rear, and began an unimaginable light industry wandering. These workshop owners and business owners went through a lot of hardships and finally transported the equipment to the rear, and they were probably only clear about the sufferings themselves.

However, most of the machinery and equipment, including Dafengnian ammonium sulfate factory, are cheaper!
