Jinmen.
Gao Jianwu, who got off the train, looked at the turtle-shell car smoldering on the street.
The architecture on the street is completely different from the style of Yandu Imperial City, with many exotic-style small Western-style buildings standing side by side. The streets are crowded with people. Taking advantage of the port, Jinmen, like the Magic City, has maintained its unusual prosperity despite the iron heel.
It's just the shadow of the little devil that flashes from time to time, giving this prosperity a disharmonious undertone.
Gao Jianwu and the others got on the tram and walked through the streets to the concession.
This time, in addition to establishing communication channels with Tianjin, Gao Jianwu also wanted to purchase a batch of electronic components for the production of tubes, capacitors and resistors used in walkie-talkies and radio stations.
Relatively speaking, except for a few cities such as Magic City and Yangcheng, these rare gadgets are only available for sale in the concessions of Tianjin.
Although this kind of exchange has begun to be included in the explosive military products, with the impending construction of Gao Jianwu Electronics Factory, this thing is far from enough for production needs.
The current number of troops in the Eighth Route Army has far exceeded 100 regiments. Even in the base area where Gao Jianwu is located, there are dozens of regiments that do not even have radio stations. Therefore, even if you follow the radio station to the regiment, there will be a demand for at least hundreds of stations.
In addition, the number of walkie-talkies required is even greater. With the three regiment-level organizations of the Ping An Military Division, the Dagushan Guerrilla Detachment has more than 30 battalion and company-level organizations. The independent regiment and the New Third Regiment combined are only slightly more than this. Few, the demand is more than 70 sets.
Among the old superiors of the Independent Regiment, there are only 4 military divisions under the 386 Brigade. Although the battalion and company organization is not as abnormal as the Ping An Military Division, at least more than 40 are indispensable. Rounding up, it is 200, and the brigade commander The Ping An Military Division is equipped with such a temper, and it is impossible that the Ping An Military Division's brother military divisions are not there.
This thing is simply a combat power multiplier, especially artillery command, which is now a necessity for deep strike artillery regiments. The brigade commander will never let it go if he sees it.
Therefore, when Gao Jianwu came to Tianjin, he gave priority to purchasing these things, and he brought as much as he could.
The two commandos who followed Gao Jianwu, one named Huang Tianmin and the other Lin Shaozhang, were talkative and clever masters.
When he arrived at the concession, Gao Jianwu first found a hotel and opened a room as a temporary place. He released Lin Shaozhang and prepared to rent a house in Jinmen as a long-term activity room. He waited for Hu Minghua's people to arrive in Jinmen to take over.
And he took Huang Tianmin to go shopping.
The first place they arrived was the British Concession. Although the little Japanese and Daiying had been beaten into dogs in Southeast Asia, in the British Concession in Jinmen, the policemen of the Little Japanese and Daiying were actually patrolling the same street.
Seeing such a spectacle, Gao Jianwu felt a severe discomfort in his heart.
Speaking of which, none of these foreign devils were good, but Gao Jianwu was unable to change anything at this time. I can only bury my anger in my heart.
The two of them walked not long before they arrived at Victoria Road. Looking at the novel small western-style buildings, Huang Tianmin's eyes were full of wonder. He had just come out of Tushangou. Although he had already seen the Forbidden City of the Emperor, he was not familiar with it. I am still amazed by this European-style three or four-story building.
It was just that when Huang Tianmin saw that his commander seemed to have a calm and indifferent expression, Huang Tianmin stopped talking and said nothing.
Ruilong Foreign Bank, Citibank, Macquarie, Pinghe, Jardine, Swire, and HSBC. Looking at the names that were still somewhat familiar to Gao Jianwu's later generations, Gao Jianwu shook his head.
This is a poor country that has been weak for a long time, but it is also a hot spot for businessmen to pursue profits. No matter how poor the 40 million people are, there is still huge demand and output, allowing these aliens to steal astonishing profits from it.
In this era, Gao Jianwu saw scars all over his body and eyes!
When I return to this era, I will not only drive out the little devils, but also try my best to earn back the ocean from those foreign devils!
As he walked, he saw that in the bustling Jinmen, the well-dressed people were almost all foreign-faced. However, the Chinese people Gao Jianwu saw were mostly ragged porters, laborers, and coachmen. The two worlds seemed to be intertwined in the same place. The illusion of space.
Even Gao Jianwu, who has a 21st century understanding, felt dizzy after seeing it.
The more you know, the deeper you see what is hidden behind it, the more powerless you feel. Unlike Huang Tianmin, at this moment, he was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, full of novelties everywhere.
Fortunately, Gao Jianwu soon arrived at one of his destinations, Paulo Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
This new-generation foreign company, which has been in business for nearly 30 years, focuses on import and export trade. Gao Jianwu read in the newspaper that in the British Concession, his family's electronic components were relatively complete.
"Welcome, sir, what do you need to buy?" As soon as Gao Jianwu entered the door, the employee inside asked politely.
"I want to see some electronic components. The quantity is relatively large. Is your manager here?" Gao Jianwu said straightforwardly.
"I wonder how much goods you are planning to buy?" The employee did not take Gao Jianwu to see the manager rashly.
"It depends on how much goods you have and if the price is right. I'm ready to buy them all." Gao Jianwu said calmly.
The employee opened his mouth wide and looked at Gao Jianwu. He was stunned for a while and said, "Your guest, are you kidding me?"
Gao Jianwu didn't say anything. He took out a small yellow croaker directly from the cloth bag and waved it in front of the employee without saying a word.
"Invite me!" The employee came to his senses after looking at the bright yellow croaker, and decisively took Gao Jianwu to a reception room.
Not long after, an employee in a suit came over. "Hello, sir, I am Lin Jianyou, the manager of our store. How can I help you?"
I have to say that this is the good thing about foreign devils. No matter what kind of customer you are, as long as you have gold bars and oceans, you are a good customer and you will get good service that makes you feel at home.
"Hello, Manager Lin, we are a wholesaler of electronic product components. We want to buy more goods in Tianjin this time. We need common components such as electron tubes, capacitors, resistors, permanent magnets, and copper wires. I don't know the number of Guibao. No matter how much you have, as long as the price is right and you give me a reasonable discount, I can take it all." Gao Jianwu didn't beat around the bush.
These foreign devils sell things. At this time, the big stores always clearly mark the prices, and there is actually not much room for price.
A manager like Lin Jianyou may only have a 50% discount on authority.
"Sir, your quantity request is too high. The discount I can give you is 92% off, but if you can confirm the purchase of large quantities, I think our boss will be happy to talk to you in person." Lin Jianyou looked at it Gao Jianwu said.
He was sure that this was a new visitor and had no impression at all in his mind.
Therefore, Lin Jianyou still has reservations about the opponent's strength.
Gao Jianwu understood what the other party meant instantly. Putting the bag he had brought up on the table, a crisp sound of jingling sounded.
Gao Jianwu casually took out a few small yellow croakers and placed them on the table, "I don't think Guibao will refuse to settle with small yellow croakers, right?"
"Of course, of course," Lin Jianyou looked at the small yellow croakers one by one and swallowed hard.
This was the first time he had seen someone carrying a pile of gold bars to buy components in his many years of work.
But luckily I came across it.
