Chapter 5 The down-and-out American businessman

he1pme, he1pme A man with golden eyes, who was about thirty years old, was beaten by two gangsters in the corner. The foreign man kept begging for mercy and instinctively shouted help. Of course, there were not many people who understood it at that time, but although Comrade Wang Mingyu was also a three-knit knife in English, he could still understand these simple words.

Wang Mingyu looked at the beaten foreigner and was thinking about whether to save him. After all, he was not his own, and he had never had any good feelings for foreigners. Why, although Japan is the one that he hated the most, the Eight-Nation Alliance is not a good thing. Alas, forget it, this is also an opportunity to change his image as a playboy.

The two gangsters didn't notice that someone came over and were still kicking the foreigner. Unexpectedly, Wang Mingyu shouted from behind: Stop it, stop it,

One of the two gangsters was almost not scared to sit on the ground, and then turned around and cursed: Who is hesitant to live? Are you looking for death? The other person was stunned at first when he saw Wang Mingyu, and then changed his clothes with a flash of lightning and said with a flattering smile: Oh my, Young Master Wang, why are you here for a while? You don’t say anything when you come, so you can come out and greet me.

Wang Mingyu was also stunned. He also knew that there was no such person in his memory. Could it be that some gangster was acting here? So he said: Well, I know this foreign friend. Can two friends take my respects to me and let him go

Since we are Mr. Wang’s friend, then of course we will give Mr. Wang this face. Haha, Mr. Wang has time to go to our place to do it. The foreigner will be handed over to Mr. Wang. The gangster bowed his fists and bowed and left.

In fact, Wang Mingyu didn't know that his former reputation was well-known in Ningbo. Those who offended him had never heard of any good consequences. Who told me that there was a great man? As a result, there are basically no one in the Tao who doesn't know Wang Mingyu, because one day he didn't know this evil star, and he didn't know how to die after offending him. This is called evil people and evil people need to fight.

When the foreigner saw someone saving him, he said in a stiff Chinese: Thank you, you are such a good person, God bless you, after saying that, you made a cross on your chest.

You're welcome, I saw the injustice on the road and helped me. I'll come to China to be more at peace in the future. Otherwise, I'll have you suffered a lot. Wang Mingyu thought that this foreigner was just too hungry. He had a meal at the restaurant opposite. Finally, he gave them some money. The foreigner shrugged helplessly. After hearing this, Wang Mingyu laughed and said: If you don't have money, you still learn from others to go abroad. What's your name? Which country is it? I'll introduce myself. My name is Wang Mingyu, a local.

My name is Carl Jefferson, from the United States, just call me Jefferson. I am an arms agent. Jefferson said that the arms agent had no money to eat. Wang Mingyu asked in surprise. When he thought that the arms dealer was not rich. Now it was during the Great Depression of the United States. I spent all my money to buy a batch of arms. My American friends said that in China, there were wars everywhere, and gold was everywhere for arms dealers. I heard that many compatriots were making money here. So I came, but it has been half a year since I was here and nothing has been sold. Now, now

If you don’t have money, you can’t sell the arms. It’s better to be worth a piece of scrap iron. God Jefferson started to pour bitter water. It looked like his expression was full of bitterness. Yes, when you come to Ningbo to sell arms, how can you sell them? There is no war here yet. However, the National Government should highly recommend German goods. The sales of American goods here are not very good. Wang Mingyu, who has no orders, thought for a moment and said, "He knows history. During this period, the cooperation between the National Government and Germany was still a honeymoon period, which is far from the later period of the German-Italy and Japanese fascist alliance.

Mr. Wang, you are right. This is exactly what I want to say. When I went to find the local garrison, they all asked me if I had any German goods. It was really unlucky. The performance of our American goods is not worse than that of German goods at all. Why do they don’t want our goods? Jefferson hasn’t figured it out yet.

Haha, in our China, the National Government is the largest orderer. If the National Government buys German goods, then if it is supplies, it will only be supplies for German goods. So, even if you buy your American guns now, the logistics supply will not be able to keep up, and the gun has no bullets, isn’t it like a fire stick Wang Mingyu smiled and said, when Jefferson heard this, he thought about it: I can also provide bullets.

You can provide bullets well, but when you really want to fight, there will be insufficient ammunition, etc. How can the National Government dispatch there be no bullets? Do you have to supply the guns together to you? The National Government is not so generous and does not have so much financial resources. Although Wang Mingyu said that, he has his own thoughts in his heart, although he is not very mature yet.

Oh, God, then what should I do? What should I do about this damn person? What does China mean by heaven? Why is China a hell for me? Hearing Wang Mingyu's words, Jefferson grabbed his gold with both hands and squatted on the ground slowly, saying this almost angrily, Mr. Jefferson, go home with me first, I'll settle you, and then see if you can help you see what you are doing

Mr. Wang, I heard it right. You can really help me a person who fell into the water. Even if you catch a straw, he thinks it can save his life. This is the case with Jefferson now, and he is desperate and penniless now. I guess in the past ten days, there will be no place for his weapons, because he has no rent to the warehouse.

In this way, Jefferson and Wang Mingyu returned to the Wang family, and this down-and-out American businessman will also begin a legend of his. Some things are like this. When you are poor and destitute, an unintentional encounter can change your destiny from then on. When the American financial oligarch Carl Jefferson was interviewed decades later, he looked far away from the East and said: In ancient China, I met a legendary general.

At the Wang family mansion in Ningbo, Jefferson and Wang Mingyu sat on both sides of the hall, and Wang Yuanshan sat in the middle.

Hanning, don't introduce your friend Wang Yuanshan looked at Jefferson curiously and said, "Dad, this is an American friend that I just met today, named Jefferson. Jefferson. This is my father. Wang Yuanshan and Wang Mingyu introduced to both parties. Oh, you are Mr. Wang Yuanshan and your name. I knew it on the first day I came to Ningbo. After saying that, Jefferson stood up and bowed deeply. At the same time, he felt that Wang Mingyu's words to help him were not empty words, because Wang Yuanshan's name is really well-known. He once wanted to connect with Wang Yuanshan through some connections to see where there is business and can do it.

You're welcome, Mr. Jefferson, everyone is giving me a thin face. Wang Yuanshan smiled and waved his hand. Mr. Jefferson is an American arms agent, Wang Mingyu, said without a chance. He said, "Look for a long time, Hanning for a long time, is there anything wrong with calling Mr. Jefferson? Wang Yuanshan looked at Wang Mingyu with some confusion and said, "I don't know what his son has brought an arms dealer here for."

Dad, it is now the time of the national war of resistance. I think if we do some arms business, then we will still be profitable. Wang Mingyu said, "But the Battle of Songhu has just ended, and the National Government and Japan have reached a ceasefire agreement. There will be no big war in a short period of time, Wang Yuanshan asked, "Dad, Japan's ambitions are obvious. In March this year, the Japanese army invaded Rehe and signed the Tanggu agreement with the National Government. I can't think of a great war in five years. And it is very likely that it is a comprehensive war. Wang Mingyu said affirmatively that he is familiar with history. Of course, things have not happened. Others think it must be a guess."

Hanning, you are so sure that there will be a battle between China and Japan. Wang Yuanshan looked at his son in confusion. He was increasingly unable to understand his son. It was after he came out that day, his son seemed to be stimulated and suddenly became enlightened. If it weren't for the mark on his son, he would have doubted whether he was his son. Originally, a playboy who is ignorant, knows the domestic situation well and wants to join the army. This was originally a very strange thing, but now his son is always a good thing to be motivated.

Dad, the Northeast has fallen, and the Japanese army has tasted the sweetness, but how can Japan, such an island country, support such a huge military system? Only by aggression, constantly plundering the resources of the invaded countries, and achieving the goal of fighting through war. Moreover, once the Japanese army is ready, it is likely to engage in the second Battle of Shanghai in the short term. The Japanese army's lack of troops will lead to the inability to open the entire line and fight for a long time. So I think that Nanjing, as the symbol of the national government and Shanghai, as the lifeline of the national government's economy, must be one of the goals of Japan's choice.

Wang Yuanshan was shocked when he heard Wang Mingyu's words. If a staff officer in the government said such words, he thought that this person was understandable. After all, they made a living all day long, but this words came from his son's mouth, it would be different. His son used to be a virtue, but he didn't know yet, but now he could say these insightful words. Regardless of whether the matter was really born, just based on his son's words, Wang Yuanshan could also believe that his son had really changed. Maybe he didn't know his son enough before, and now his son is his real son. Wang Yuanshan thought that Jefferson was very bachelor. He didn't understand these things anyway. He was very excited when he heard Wang Mingyu say that there was a war to fight. If Wang Mingyu knew what he was thinking now, he would not know whether he would kick him back to the United States. Who would want his nation and his country to be invaded?

However, Wang Mingyu obviously did not notice the excitement of Jefferson's face, and told Jefferson his plan in a casual manner.
