Chapter 3 General Zheng's Arrival
"My goods? Well, it's all here." Hu Fei pointed at the cigarette in his hand, and Li San next to him walked over and picked up a small red patent leather box that was fifty centimeters long and about forty in width and height. Open the lid, and inside it were soap-sized squares wrapped in yellow paper.
Seeing these squares, Ivan smiled, "Brother Fei, you are so great! You are simply a great god!" When he was excited, the Russian man wanted to come over and hug Hu Fei, but was slapped by Hu Fei. If it weren't for the money's sake, he would have ruined this unqualified polar bear!
Hu Fei didn't use much effort, but he pushed Ivan staggered. The guy waited and widened his eyes and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Almighty God! Brother Fei, how can you have such great strength? Are you really an angel sent by God to the human world? Oh, can you let me test your goods first?"
"No! You must wait until I check your goods before you can check my things." After Hu Fei finished speaking, he casually put the lid on the box. Ivan's face suddenly showed a clear expression of regret.
What was Hu Fei's box? Big opium! In those days, it was common for the army to smuggle and sell opium. Hu Fei used to get a lot of this thing. He didn't smoke big opium, and few of his trusted generals had this hobby.
Hu Fei had a thorough understanding of modern history in my country. He knew that opium was the root cause of harming the country and the people. Naturally, he didn't want to sell the opium in his hands to his own people. Destroy it? He didn't have the courage of Lin Zexu. He couldn't bear to see so much money. So, the opium accumulated more and more and saved. Now that he has gone abroad, Hu Fei has no more worries.
Although I don’t know if the shelf life of the opium is, it’s not very good if this thing stays for a long time. Instead of trying to preserve it, it’s better to replace it with something useful! Therefore, on the first day of going abroad from Manzhouli, Hu Fei gave Liu Dong a task to sell opium! This Ivanov is a big customer contacted by Chief Liu.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, five military trucks stopped at the door of Hu Fei's military camp on time. The strong Russian man escorted the car unloaded the food one by one, all of which were Russian flour.
After unloading the flour, Ji Jinbiao took someone to inspect the goods and reported to Hu Fei: the car was filled with high-quality flour. Next, Hu Fei delivered the goods. He opened the small box and handed it to Ivanov. He was like a real big smoker. He first opened a pack and dipped it in his fingers and tasted it, then gave it a thumbs up to indicate that the goods were genuine.
A small box of opium was obviously unable to buy five trucks of flour, so Hu Fei took out another box and exchanged two boxes of opium for five trucks of flour! Although the price was a little expensive, it might be good to replace it with food. It is said that the Soviet Union is also guarding against Germany in Europe, and the Soviet Union is also in short supply!
After the transaction is completed, it is time for both parties to shake hands and say goodbye. Suddenly someone came outside to report that Brigade Commander Zheng arrived!
Why did this guy come sooner or later, but he just happened to come now? Zheng Runcheng was not at the right time, so Hu Fei felt unhappy and had no joy on his face. He asked Liu Dong to let Commander Zheng entertain in the living room, and he wanted to send Ivan away first.
Since Ivan dared to do this kind of business dealing with food for drugs, he knew what was going on when he saw Hu Fei's expression. "Brother Fei, it seems that you are in trouble. Do you need my help?"
This guy is quite righteous! Hu Fei smiled bitterly, "No, thank you Ivan. This is a matter within our army, you can't help."
Ivan shrugged and followed Hu Fei out. Since he didn't want him to help, he was of course happy. Before the two of them could reach the gate, they heard someone shouting: "Captain Hu, I heard that there are guests here, why, are you leaving now?"
Hu Fei looked back and saw that it was the brigade commander Zheng Runcheng! Liu Dong, who was helpless next to him. Zheng Runcheng was the brigade commander, where was he going, could Liu Dong stop him?
"Haha, it turns out that it is Brigade Commander Zheng. Let me introduce you to me. This is the Soviet friend I met in Domsk. Ivan, this is my commander, General Zheng Runcheng, the brigade commander of the Chinese People's National Salvation Army."
Ivanov stretched out his hand, and Zheng Runcheng reluctantly shook his eyes with him and walked back and forth between the two of them. "Captain Hu, I heard that you bought a few trucks of grain from this Mr. Ivan?" Before Hu Fei could speak, Ivan affirmed first. Now Zheng Runcheng became more excited, "Mr. Ivan, do you still have food there? I will buy it, can I buy more?"
"Oh, are you going to buy food?" Ivan shrugged again. This guy might think his shrugging movements were quite chic, but they were actually very ugly. Do you think, can a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters and a bearded and stubble-shaped face, shrugged his shoulders well?
Zheng Runcheng nodded quickly, and the longing on his face made Hu Fei feel a little embarrassed.
"General Zheng, you know, there is a shortage of food now. It is quite difficult to find some food to sell. However, who told you to be Fei Ge's commander? I'll think of a solution. However, the price is the same as that Fei Ge gave, and it's not enough to lose one gram!"
"Okay, the money is fine. You tell me how much is a pound, I'll go back to raise money now!" Zheng Runcheng was so excited that his eyes shone. The Volunteers really lacked food. More than a dozen volunteers have more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians. How much food should they consume every day? Now the more food is stored, the better. Brigade Commander Zheng can't control others, as long as he can guarantee that these 4,000 people will not be hungry!
"Brother Fei and I trade in tons. As for the specific amount of each pound, General Zheng can convert it himself." Ivan gave Zheng Runcheng's petty aura without hesitation, "Every hundred taels of hot Hebeikou soil is exchanged for a truck of standard wheat flour."
"Rehebeikou soil?" Zheng Runcheng repeated the term again, and the eager expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious and indifferent look. "Is Captain Hu's food exchanged for Rehebeikou soil from Mr. Ivan?"
Hu Fei saw that it was going to be broken, so he quickly pushed Iwan out. Iwan didn't understand yet, so he turned around and asked Zheng Runcheng, "General Zheng, if you don't have the soil in the north, you can do anything else. We can discuss the price again!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ivan, I have nothing to do!" Zheng Runcheng then raised his hand after throwing this cold sentence, "Mr. Ivan, do you know that if you exchange food for opium? I think you should take you to meet General Vasily, the commander of the Domsk Military Region, and discuss the matter of buying and selling opium."
As Zheng Runcheng finished speaking, several soldiers standing at the gate immediately took out their pistols and pointed them at Vasily!
Chapter completed!
