Poetry:
The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves hold out the heroes. Ordinary people look at the empty eyes. The cold moon is high, who is sad to fall yinghong?
The pawn peddler is on the road, accustomed to drinking cold snow and cold wind. The kiss and the bones are no longer met, and how many things are bitter are difficult to say.

Part II: Twenty Years
Chapter Eighty-Six
This unfortunate Republic of China is simply difficult to evaluate. The fights and fights all day long have made the whole country stretched out, and even the meager salaries of the instructors are difficult to guarantee, but all the tyrants are still ambitiously hating each other, and I really don't know when they want to toss the country to the end.
The Beijing teachers' strike storm continued for nearly four or five months, but in any case it was resolved in repeated repetitions, and the students finally had the opportunity to study again.
Alas, it was a storm.
It is a matter of saying that the republic of China government is a mess in governing the country, but there are still many crooked doors and evil ways. No, Chinese shouted the New Year's Day of the ancestors is now not allowed to use the old imperial calendar, but uses the first day of January in the Western calendar, and the new year's day of the Chinese is renamed the Spring Festival by them, and the national calendar is also changed to the Western calendar, and the old imperial calendar has become a side dating method. What's good to say? No one knows exactly what they are trying to do.
According to the new calendar, it had just reached the fourth day of the first lunar month in the year of Xin You, which was the new new year's day they had recently renamed, that is, January 1, 1922 in the Western calendar. Hey, don't care how to change it, the people are most concerned about whether they can let themselves live their lives, and other loves will go how they go. However, they have changed the chronology, but the people still recognize the old imperial calendar, and the customs and festivals in the whole life are still walking according to the set of Chinese. How to say it, after all, it is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, and this is not something that anyone wants to change or can completely change.
……
Flashing through the old calendar year, Yang Jiangong was admitted to Yenching University as he wished, and the whole family was overjoyed, but Yang Bolin was not happy again.
The reason is caused by the second brother-in-law Zhao Boming.
It turned out that as soon as the spring began, the second brother-in-law Zhao Boming contacted a Japanese trading house, saying that he wanted to enter a batch of soybean oil from Bai Junzhai and said that if the sales were good, he would order it for a long time in the future. At first, Yang Bolin was also very happy, after all, this was the first time he could earn money from foreigners. But slowly, Yang Bolin found that the Japanese's intentions were not only for his soybean oil, but even for his soybean oil factory. The Japanese wanted to jointly establish this soybean oil plant with Yang Bolin, and promised that if they could, they would further invest and expand the soybean oil plant, and they would also underwrite sales south of the Yangtze River and exports to foreign countries.
At first glance, this matter is also very good, but the problem is that Yang Bolin has never dealt with the Orientals, and he is really not sure how the Nine-Nine in the heart of the Japanese is calculated. What's more, the unjust death of the eldest brother in the early years cannot actually be said to be unrelated to the Japanese, and then later heard about the crazy killing of the Japanese in Shandong, which also made Yang Bolin somewhat disgusted with the Japanese. Therefore, after the Japanese proposed the intention of the joint venture, Yang Bolin politely declined. However, what he did not expect was that Zhao Boming was very attentive, and he had been trying to persuade Yang Bolin to agree to the Japanese proposal, which made Yang Bolin's heart somewhat angry.
But the Japanese did not seem to be angry at all, and still talked to Yang Bolin in a pleasant way.
As the saying goes, the knife hidden in the smile is the most sinister, yang Bolin is deeply afraid that the Japanese will give him a bigger situation, but it is not good to refuse business with the Japanese, so he began to return to the daily worry.
This morning, Yang Bolin received a letter from Jiao Dengkui, and at first he thought it was an ordinary greeting letter, so he was also very happy. But when he opened it, he saw that Jiao Dengkui was also trying to persuade Yang Bolin to cooperate with the Japanese in the letter, and said that otherwise Douyuan might be affected, because the Japanese now have a lot of power in Fengtian, and even Zhang Zuolin in the Kanto region let the Japanese divide it. What surprised Yang Bolin was how Jiao Dengkui also knew about this matter and urged him to cooperate with the Japanese. To say that Zhao Boming did not know, and may not even know Jiao Dengkui, then how did Jiao Dengkui know about this matter? Therefore, Yang Bolin felt very strange.
But if he thinks about it, he can understand a little bit - this is the Japanese behind the ghost.
I thought I understood it, but then I was shocked by the power of the Japanese, and immediately felt that my back spine began to chill. He was deeply afraid that the oil mill, which had just improved for less than half a year, would suffer a new ordeal.
Yang Bolin was alone and silently worried about the future of the oil mill, when the second brother-in-law, Zhao Boming, and the Japanese who had come a few days ago came again, and this Japanese had a very strange name called Toshio Aizawa. The "Sawa" character in his name alone made Yang Bolin make a fuss for a long time before he understood that it was originally a Japaneseized Chinese character, that is, the Ze character in the Chinese character.
When Yang Bolin saw them come in, he thought that he had come to negotiate the joint venture oil plant again, so his inner dissatisfaction immediately surged up. But what I didn't expect was that people never talked about the joint venture from beginning to end, but instead sent a considerable deal.
Zhao Boming and Xiang Ze Toshio came in, and as before Tsubasa Toshio, xiang ze first bowed deeply to Yang Bolin, and then said in very blunt Chinese: "Mr. Yang is fine." ”
Although his heart was full of disgust and dissatisfaction, the superficial courtesy still needed to be there, so Yang Bolin also hurriedly hugged his fist in return, and said in a word: "Oh, Mr. Aizawa is also fine!" I wonder where you came to teach you this time? ”
Toshio Aizawa was not a straw bag, he heard the sound of Yang Berlin's words, but on the surface he did not reveal the slightest thing, still politely said: "How dare you, how dare you, Mr. Yang pioneered the bottling of oil used in daily life to sell, it is already much higher than the contemptible, I dare to show off in front of Mr. Yang." If that were the case, wouldn't I have danced a big knife in front of the Duke of Guan and got a big axe in front of Lu Ban's door, as is said in your folklore? If I speak in a sermonal language, then I should listen to Mr. Yang's advice a lot! ”
"Where, how dare the contemptible yingxue sac firefly be arrogant and self-respecting!"
Yang Bolin's words immediately made Toshio Aizawa not know how to deal with it. Even though he was proficient in sinology, he could not understand what Yang Bolin meant by this sentence, so he turned the topic around and said: "I came this time because Mr. Yang's soybean oil was greatly welcomed after being transported back to China by the contemptible people, and it was sold out quickly, so this time I wanted to order more, but I don't know if Mr. Yang can supply it?" ”
When Yang Bolin heard that he had come to order soybean oil, not to talk about the joint venture, he was somewhat relieved, but the guard in his heart still did not dare to relax in any way. So, he hurriedly gave up his seat and let Zhao Cai give tea. After everyone sat down, Yang Bolin asked kindly, "I don't know how much Mr. Aizawa wants to order this time?" ”
Seeing Yang Bolin take the initiative to ask, Xiang ze Toshio secretly rejoiced in his heart, but still replied without showing any sound: "Oh, I want to make up enough 30,000 pounds in a month, I don't know if Mr. Yang can prepare it?" ”
As soon as Yang Bolin heard that he wanted thirty thousand pounds a month here, his heart could not help but immediately increase his interest, he simply considered it and said: "Can I answer you in three days?" ”
Toshio Aizawa was very cheerful and immediately replied, "Yes, yes, as long as the oil supply can be guaranteed, everything is arranged by Mr. Yang." ”
The conversation between the three people, since there was no other common topic besides this, quickly ended the conversation with each other, and after bidding farewell to each other, Yang Bolin sent them away.
After sending Zhao Boming and Xiang Ze Toshio away, Yang Bolin immediately began to arrange everything. The first is to send a telegram to Jiao Dengkui, asking to see if you can transport more than 100,000 kilograms of soybeans this month, which requires the Japanese to process such a large amount of soybean oil, if the source of beans can not guarantee that it is the ability to eat the sky, it is also afraid to promise.
Not bad, the third day's head early Jiao Dengkui called back, saying that there was no problem with the bean source. Immediately after that, he checked the inventory of soybeans and refined oil, and the stock of soybeans and refined oil was enough to support the sale and purchase of the Gyeonggi area, that is, the oil bottles were not enough, so he urged Qinhuangdao to urgently ship 30,000 oil bottles. Everything should be logical.
At noon on the third day, Yang Bolin, who felt that everything was fine, agreed to Toshio Aizawa's request as promised, provided him with 30,000 kilograms of soybean oil within a month, and signed a contract according to Toshio Aizawa's will. Although the contract had clauses that if the contract defaulted, the liquidated damages would be doubled, but the confident Yang Bolin did not regard it as a very serious matter, so he signed it very happily.
Yang Bolin was very happy at this time, because together with several shops in Bai Junzhai, he could sell nearly 60,000 kilograms of soybean oil this month, which was the first time since he opened an oil factory. If this time can be fully successful, then Yang Bolin plans to further expand the scale of the oil mill with another oil press, then it will be one step closer to Zhai Qingfeng's vision of spreading Bai Junzhai to the whole country. What a bright prospect.
But Young Bolin thought things too simply.
First of all, Jiao Dengkui promised good things, but in the past seven or eight days, he did not see the beans coming. After sending a telegram to inquire, I learned that Jiao Dengkui's unit had already entered the customs, and no one knew why. Then he sent a telegram to his old partner, saying that the soybeans outside the Guanxi were all controlled by the Fengjun, and the people were not allowed to smuggle in large quantities privately. Yang Bolin immediately rolled from the top of the excitement to the abyss of anxiety and worry, you know, the Japanese who missed the time are going to pursue the claim.
Use existing soybeans and refined oil products to offset it, but the business in the Gyeonggi area will certainly fall into the point where there is no oil to sell, and the reputation will plummet, and Yang Bolin is not willing to do that. The most important thing is that even making beans and existing refined oil products that way is not enough. Send people around to search for beans, but in the past two years, there has been a drought in North China, and there is not enough grain to eat, where can you find so many beans. Yang Bolin is like an ant on a hot pot, already looking at the door to stop the rush like the wind and fire.
It seems that the deadline is approaching, but the matter of beans is still not settled. Unsurprisingly, however, the Japanese urged them to arrive, and they directly threatened to enforce the claim.
There was no way, in order not to pay compensation to the Japanese, Yang Bolin had to send people around to look for refined soybean oil, even Shanxi, Suiyuan and Rehe. No matter what kind of bull energy it took, it was not bad, and it was finally enough soybean oil for the Japanese when the time came, but the detailed calculation was not profitable at all, and there was even a lot of deficit, but it was better than letting the Japanese claim the wrong delivery date.
However, what was never expected was that the Japanese did not know how to sample, but the quality of two or three bottles of soybean oil was indeed not as good as the original Kashiwa, and as a result, the Japanese returned all of them, and the compensation was still demanded. Yang Bolin was helpless and gritted his teeth and gave the Japanese reparations as promised. Inside and outside, on this transaction alone, Yang Bolin not only did not earn any surplus, but also built into the ocean with nearly three thousand pieces.
Yang Bolin had only had a dream of less than a month, and before he could appreciate it like a gorgeous balloon, it suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yang Bolin and the frosted eggplant generally lost half a thread of pleasure. Since then, Yang Bolin has never been willing to have any dealings with the Japanese, and he has also developed an anonymous resentment towards his second brother-in-law.
So, why did Yang Bolin encounter the fengjun control of Douyuan at this time? It turned out that this was all planned by the Japanese. The Fengjun's control of the bean source was also secretly instigated by the Japanese, who wanted the Fengjun to export a large number of soybeans to Japan to meet the needs of Japan. Not only that, but they also learned more about the situation and knew that the situation in North China may change in the near future. They originally meant to drag Yang Bolin down in one fell swoop, so as to take the opportunity to force Yang Bolin to agree to the joint venture. But what they did not expect was that Yang Bolin, who had a strong heart, had to withstand the pressure, resulting in their plot failing to succeed. But this is undoubtedly another disaster for Young Bolin.
However, what makes Yang Bolin even more unpredictable is that a bigger disaster is quietly and slowly hitting him.
