A few days after the negotiation between Zhou Wen and the second uncle of the Liu family ended, a cashier's check from HSBC worth 600,000 US dollars was put into Zhou Wen's pocket. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Wen became a rich man again. He immediately ordered Henry to place an order with a French company in Shanghai. Quickly purchase the French SEL infantry gun and the French 81mm Brandt MLE 27 mortar, and increase the number to 10 infantry guns and 20 mortars respectively, and also add a large amount of training ammunition.
After signing the cooperation agreement with the Liu family, Zhou Wen delegated all the subsequent work to the experts and subordinates brought by Little Henry and his second uncle. He now truly believed that his luck was indeed extraordinary. In just over half a year, he had unknowingly taken complete control of Lishi County, founded a promising industry, and established a force that should not be underestimated in the party, government, military, police and underworld in Taiyuan. . It can be said that the first step back to my hometown is to take it steadily. Completely achieved my initial goal.
On June 12, Zhou Wen, who finally got out of the preliminary work, held the first working meeting of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment in a large conference room renovated from a barracks in the guard barracks on Xiaobeimen Street.
In addition to the leaders of the mercenary group Zhou Wen, Gao Xiaoshan, Miaohua and Old Uncle Wu who were sitting on the temporary stage, there were also 44 other combat members of the mercenary group, plus Zhou Yongbin, Hongxiu, Feng Tianpei He and Li Qiaoer are basically the same old friends before coming to Shanxi. These people constitute the core strength of the current mercenary group. If we use the structure of a joint-stock company to describe it, these people are the original shareholders of the company, and they are brothers and partners who share weal and woe with Zhou Wen. Those who joined later, such as the guard and security team, as well as Zeng Erniu, Zhang An, cousin Wang Chengming and Zhang Jie, could only be contract workers of the company.
Zhao Yi, Zhao Shun and Tian Boguang are Zhou Wen's servants and retainers, and they cannot be considered members of the mercenary group yet.
Only after the later people have passed the test of battle and contributed their own extraordinary strength, and more importantly, can they be integrated with the mercenary group, will Zhou Wen consider incorporating the best of them into the core system of the mercenary group. Now he still has It's too early. This is called the difference between inside and outside. Zhou Wen firmly believes that there is no absolute fairness in this world. He can reach this point only by relying on and trusting the brothers in front of him. If anyone is unconvinced, Zhou Wen's response is just two words: "Get out!"
This meeting was also a rare gathering for all members of the mercenary group after they had been separated for a period of time while the brothers were busy working on their own. Even though Zhou Wen and Gao Xiaoshan are both in Taiyuan, one is in charge of work at the security office and the other is busy outside. There are actually very few opportunities to meet. The brothers were stationed in Lishi and Taiyuan, and now they have returned to the team again. However, within half a year, when the brothers met, it was as if they were reunited after a long separation. They moved around, hugged each other, and played with each other. Everyone looked at each other. Everyone was filled with cheerful smiles.
Hongxiu was wearing a woolen military uniform that had been modified into smaller sizes. Under the small breeches were a pair of long leather shoes. There is a belt tied around his waist, and the handle of an ivory gun protrudes from the half-length cowhide holster fastened to his waist. He looks somewhat cute like a young officer. Her long black hair was tied into a small ponytail with a red headband. Following her slender figure, she jumped and laughed in the conference room. Her crisp laughter and the red headband flying like the wind turned into A beautiful sight in the conference room.
This little girl was also very hard during this period. She had to practice martial arts in the morning and evening. During the day, she not only had to learn telegraph and telephone knowledge from the guard communication platoon, but also had to treat her dizziness with Li Qiaoer. In fact, haemorrhage is mainly a psychological effect. It is a kind of psychological phobia. It requires a relaxed environment and the psychological guidance of others to slowly, repeatedly and gradually see blood from weak to strong. This is a long-term adaptation process.
Li Qiaoer is a suitable psychiatrist for Hongxiu. After Hongxiu had just experienced the pain of losing her mother, Li Qiaoer entered her life at the right time and cared for her like a big sister. Recently, when Li Qiaoer needs to do animal experiments, she always wears red sleeves to participate. Now Hongxiu can basically adapt to seeing a small amount of animal blood, but it will take time to slowly adapt to a large amount of animal blood, and even eventually adapt to human blood. (Hey, Zhou Wen is so hateful.)
Now Zhou Wen was chatting with Gao Xiaoshan and others, while looking at his girl with loving eyes as she let go of her happiness and laughter, but his face turned dark as he looked at her.
Seeing that the small pistol on Xiao Nizi's waist actually had a beautiful ivory handle, the brothers were very curious, and they all tried to coax her to have a look at her small pistol. This pistol is the customized limited edition Browning M1900 7.65mm pistol that Chief Zhang gave to Zhou Wen before. This gun is small and beautiful, and is most suitable for women. Not long ago, Zhou Wen, in order to reward Hong Xiu for his courage and determination to actively treat haemorrhage, So he gave the gun to Hongxiu.
Hong Xiu was completely conquered by this gun right away. She simply couldn't put it down and hung it on her waist all day long. Except for a few people such as Ti Jing, Zhang Xiaoping and Wang Chengming, no one else wanted to touch it. For this reason, Zhou Wen asked someone to make several sets of small military uniforms specially for her. Otherwise, you, a cute little girl wearing a red dress, flowers in her hair, and a pistol on your waist, don't scare the people on the street.
Today, this little girl came out specially dressed in a military uniform to show off in front of the brothers. She looked at Ergazi with a smile and said, "You bad guy, if you want to see a pistol, I'll give you a gift in exchange."
Ergazi is so blind, who would think of bringing a gift to a meeting? He smiled and teased her and said: "Hongxiu, there is no gift to give at this time. Can I owe you first?"
Hong Xiu tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you have to sign the IOU." After saying that, she took out a small notebook from her pocket, and then took out the Pelikan pen that Zhou Wen gave her, and wrote it down seriously. He stood up, and kept saying: "Hurry up, anyone who wants to read it owes me a gift, so come and sign it. Hum... If you don't sign today, I won't show it to you in the future."
All the brothers liked this quirky little girl very much. Some of them had not seen her for a long time, so they all came up to her in amusement and said: "I'll sign... I'll sign..."
Seeing this scene, Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua looked at each other, and everyone smiled.
Zhou Yongbin also had a dark face, but he didn't look at Hongxiu, but looked at Zhou Wen, meaning: "Look what you have taught my daughter?"
Zhou Wen had no choice but to pretend not to see it and quickly winked at Gao Xiaoshan. Gao Xiaoshan held back his laughter and stood up and said loudly: "Everyone is seated. We are ready for the meeting."
There was only a crackling of footsteps, and then there was silence. Even Hong Xiu quickly returned to his seat and sat down.
