Chapter 510: Logistics Emergency
After rowing the pontoon boat to the shore, Matsui put on his windbreaker and top hat and left first.
Zhang Yunhe walked out of the cabin of the peng boat shortly afterwards, went ashore, crossed the riverside walkway and got into the car.
While driving to the fabric store in the French Concession, a call came in through the wireless virtual network.
Zhang Yunhe quickly checked and found that the call was transferred from Ishida's friend's villa. He hesitated for a moment and answered the call: "Moshimoshi?"
Consul Akamatsu's deep voice came from the phone: "Ishida-kun, it's me!"
"Is that you, Lord Akamatsu? Why aren't you asleep yet so late? You really have a lot of things to do!" Zhang Yunhe said as he parked the car on the side of the street.
On the other end of the phone, Chi Song said, "Well, I have something to talk to you about. It's not convenient to talk over the phone, so please come to my office tomorrow morning!"
Zhang Yunhe quickly agreed: "Hello!"
After ending the call, Zhang Yunhe remembered that he had been in Shanghai for more than a week, spending every day in the fabric store with Azhen and his youngest son. It was time for him to go back to Jiangzhou to spend time with his first wife Liu Huilan and his eldest son.
He immediately drove the car into a dark alley, then put the car into the backpack space, took out the landing craft, and drove it back to Jiangzhou.
It only took a few minutes to reach Jiangzhou, landed in an alley near my home, and walked back home.
"Why are you running around outside all day? I haven't seen you for ten days or half a month!" Liu Huilan said with a complaining look on her face as she took the windbreaker that Zhang Yunhe took off and hung it on the hanger.
Zhang Yunhe said as he changed his slippers, "What do you think I can do? I just want to make more money so you and your mother can live a better life!"
He walked over to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and said, "There aren't many things you can sell overseas these days. Apart from minerals, pig bristles, tung oil, and tea, there aren't many things foreigners would be interested in and willing to pay a high price for!"
"So where have you been getting these things these days?" Liu Huilan walked behind him, stretched out her hands and massaged his shoulders and asked.
"I've been traveling to seven or eight places these days, and I've worn out a pair of shoes. If I hadn't shipped these things out and sold them to foreigners, and then bought weapons, equipment and ammunition from them and sold them to the soldiers, do you think the weapons and ammunition produced by our arsenals across the country could have supported those soldiers until now?"
Liu Huilan couldn't help but laugh. "Stop bragging! How many weapons and ammunition can you buy by yourself? But you did contribute a little, so your heart is commendable!"
"By the way, have you had dinner?"
"Nope!"
Liu Huilan said, "Sister Mei is already asleep. I'll go make you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach first!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Huilan rolled her eyes at him and went to the kitchen to cook noodles.
A large bowl of egg noodles was quickly cooked and served in front of Zhang Yunhe. Liu Huilan knew that her husband had a big appetite, so she used a large bowl to serve the noodles. Four poached eggs were placed on the noodles, and a layer of oil and green onions floated on the soup.
As soon as he finished eating noodles, Liu Huilan brought foot washing water and placed it at his feet. She squatted down to take off his shoes and socks, put his feet in the foot basin and massaged them with her hands to promote blood circulation.
"It's cold today, so I won't take a shower. I'll just wash my feet and wait until it's warmer tomorrow."
It was really comfortable to have someone wash your feet. Zhang Yunhe leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep without realizing it.
He didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping on the sofa, covered with a thick quilt, and his wife Liu Huilan was curled up in his arms, resting her head on his arm.
It was already bright outside and the sound of breakfast being prepared could be heard from the kitchen.
"Huilan, wake up! It's dawn!" Zhang Yunhe hurriedly woke his wife up. "I have to go to the foreign company later."
When the two of them got up, their son was sitting alone on a blanket next to them, playing with his toys.
"Son, come quickly to daddy!" Zhang Yunhe put on his clothes and opened his arms and shouted to his son.
The eldest son turned his head, dropped his toy, giggled, got up, and walked towards Zhang Yunhe.
Zhang Yunhe played with his son for a while and then went to wash up. After washing, the family sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
"I'm going to the foreign company first. Let's have dinner later, maybe at 8 o'clock!" Zhang Yunhe said to his wife while holding a briefcase before going out.
"Well, the Japanese often send planes to bomb now, so you'd better be careful outside!" Liu Huilan warned.
"understood!"
Zhang Yunhe drove quickly to a foreign company not far from the dock.
As soon as I walked in, before I even reached the office, my secretary and assistant came over and said, "Mr. Zhang, you've received several calls these days. I've written down their phone numbers and put them on your desk!"
"Okay, I got it. Make me a cup of coffee with freshly ground coffee beans!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"
After entering the office, Zhang Yunhe closed the door, put down his briefcase, picked up the phone numbers recorded on the desk and took a look. Most of the calls were from business partners. Among them, Chen Yucai called him three times in the past few days, and for three consecutive days. It seemed that he had something urgent to talk to him about.
Chen Yucai is his old customer, so he can't neglect him and immediately pick up the phone and call him.
The call was quickly connected, and it was Chen Yucai's voice: "Hello, who is this?"
Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "Brother Chen, it's me, Zhang Yunhe!"
"Hey, Brother Zhang, why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for your call for several days. Look how anxious I was. I don't know how many hairs have turned white in the past few days!"
Zhang Yunhe said, "I'm so sorry, I've been on a business trip for the past ten days. I wonder if Brother Chen has anything urgent to talk to me about?"
Chen Yucai immediately said seriously, "Brother Zhang, this time you must find a way to help me get a batch of weapons, ammunition, food, and cloth!"
"Is it urgent?" Zhang Yunhe asked.
"Of course we're anxious! The front lines are waiting for weapons, ammunition, and food to be delivered to them to survive. It's precisely because of the lack of weapons, ammunition, and food that the defense lines are in jeopardy!"
"Besides, we've just trained another 100,000 new soldiers. They need weapons, equipment, ammunition, clothing, shoes, socks, and food!"
Zhang Yunhe calculated and counted the weapons, ammunition, and food in his backpack, then said on the phone, "I do have a batch of supplies, weapons, and equipment, including quite a bit of ammunition. But let me be clear, no credit. If I did, I'd be stuck!"
"Well...if you don't buy on credit, can you use tungsten ore, tea, or Shu brocade to pay for part of the payment?" Chen Yucai asked on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Yunhe agreed, "Okay. Let me first tell you about the goods I have. We have weapons for about five fully staffed Type A divisions, 800 million rounds of ammunition, 2 grenades, 1 artillery shells of various calibers, 5 tons of grain, and pieces of linen!"
After hearing this, Chen Yucai calculated and said, "Weapons, equipment, food, and cloth are barely enough for the time being. Ammunition is too little. Can you think of a way to get more?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunhe said, "How about this, give me some time and I'll find a way!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your news. When will this batch of goods be traded?"
"Tonight, just wait for my call!"
