The next morning, Lu Xiyan changed into a gray long gown, a black top hat, a suitcase and an umbrella in his hand.

I called a rickshaw and quietly went to Hanoi Railway Station.

The space of narrow-gauge trains is indeed smaller. The sleepers are open, with a middle aisle and a bed on both sides. The only advantage is that they are by the window.

Yuhui ordered an ordinary sleeper car for Lu Xiyan. The environment was naturally worse, but it was much better than a hard seat. At least you could lie down and rest.

Besides, he also deliberately examined the actual situation of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, its load-bearing weight and freight capacity along the way.

Since the Japanese occupied the port of sea, the strategic materials for foreign aid to China have been only taken by land. The Soviet Union's aid to Xinjiang in the north, and the materials for Europe and the United States in the south have begun to take the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

These two material transportation lines have become the lifeline of Chongqing's anti-Japanese war. They are not only extremely busy, but also have started to operate at full capacity.

The strategic materials needed by Europe and the United States such as tungsten ore and tung oil from China were transported out, and replaced with essential materials such as rubber and oil needed in China, and then transported back by railway to support the domestic war of resistance.

The air inside the train was very dirty. Lu Xiyan opened the window and blew a hint of cold wind in. This made the smell very light and it felt much better.

The train speed is not fast, about forty kilometers per hour, and every time you arrive at a station, passengers get off and get on the train. The train at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it is only after 10 o'clock in the evening that it arrives at the last stop of the Annan border, Old Street!

You need to stay in the old street for two hours because you will have to enter China next time. Everyone has to get out of the car and go through customs clearance procedures before you can continue to get on the car.

It was very busy here. Even in the middle of the night, I felt the heat in the air. There were rows of trucks carrying goods, some full and some empty. Railway workers added coal and water to the locomotives, and they were busy as if they were stepping on hot wheels.

War has also given rise to frequent economic exchanges and abnormal prosperity. In the future, this railway line will be busier and more prosperous.

"I got in the car, I got in the car..."

Lu Xiyan's customs clearance procedures were very simple. He held a French passport and did not carry any contraband. The inspectors successfully stamped a blue "pass" seal on his customs clearance procedures.

For more time, he was observing the situation inside and outside the station.

"Sir, please wait a little slower."

"Thanks."

I got on the train again and returned to my original shop. The train started and finally set foot on the land of my motherland again.

When the train arrived in China, the speed seemed to have accelerated a lot. From the old street to the estuary, and from the estuary to Kunming, the train ran all the way through the winding mountains and steep mountains.

Lu Xiyan's mood was transcendent. This was the first time he was sitting on a train and could see it with his own eyes.

After dawn, he never closed his eyes again.

The trees that were moving away, the villages, towns, and the people in rags looked very miserable, but there were smiles on their faces.

If a country is poor and weak, people need to work hard and struggle to change the appearance of poverty and backwardness, and not be oppressed or bullied.

Whenever he goes, he stays for a short time. Lu Xiyan is just a quick trip along the way, and he has gained a lot. He has seen different scenery than those described in newspapers and novels.

This is my motherland, my mother, whether she is beautiful or ugly, she must be protected with her life, so she is worthy of being a Chinese.

Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, is the end of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

The train stopped at Kunming Station at around 5 pm. The station platform was filled with people coming to pick them up. Lu Xiyan got out of the car with a suitcase in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

Kunming is like spring all year round, and it is a suitable city for living. Lu Xiyan is here for the first time.

People were surging on the platform. At first glance, the signs of people were picked up one after another, and I couldn't see clearly, and I moved all the way to the exit.

Finally, I saw a young man wearing a baseball cap and a suspender outfit holding a sign "Checking Afterglow" in his hand.

Lu Xiyan walked over quickly and asked, "Brother, where are you picking up?"

"Yes, are you?"

"I'm the person you want to pick up." Lu Xiyan smiled, "Is it Young Master Chen who asked you to come?"

"Hello, Mr. Yu, my name is Yan Xiaobao. Just call me Xiaobao." Yan Xiaobao immediately put down the sign and reached out to help Lu Xiyan carry the box.

He refused. Although there was nothing in the box, he was unwilling to let others carry things to him.

After exiting the exit, a black Tysler car parked on the curb, with its back against the front of the car. A young man in a leather jacket and sunglasses raised his head, sucking in a fog, looking comfortable.

"Young Master, Mr. Yu received it."

"Oh." The young man snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, took off his sunglasses, exposed his eagle eyes, and reached out and said, "My name is Chen Jie, I'll be happy."

"Call me Bian Que."

"Okay, Mr. Bian Que, please get in the car." Chen Jie smiled slightly, walked over and opened the car door.

Lu Xiyan handed the suitcase to Yan Xiaobao and put it in the trunk of the car, then got on the car.

Chen Jie drove the car himself and could see that his driving skills were very good. He could drive the car quickly and steadily on the densely crowded road, and he could not feel too many bumps.

"This is Mr. Bian Que's first time in Kunming, right?" Chen Jie started chatting as soon as he got in the car.

"It's the first time."

"Then you are right here. Kunming is a good place. You can rest for a while tonight. I will drive you out for a walk tomorrow. There are still many good places in Kunming."

"Mr. Chen, I'm not here to travel around."

"Even if you want to go to the battlefield tomorrow, you have to eat and drink what you should drink. You have to play what you should play. You can't leave regrets in life, right?"

Lu Xiyan didn't make any mistakes. After all, everyone has their own living habits and lifestyles. Chen Jie can't make a mistake if he has such an idea. At least he is optimistic about life.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many universities in Peking, Shanghai and Nanjing moved here, and there were many fleeing people. The population in Kunming skyrocketed and became the military and cultural center in the southwest rear.

"I ordered a banquet at Cuihu Hotel to welcome the husband." Chen Jie said.

"No need to be so troublesome. I am not very interested in these things. Mr. Chen, let's just find a small restaurant to have something." Lu Xiyan said.

"If Boss Dai blames this, I can't afford it."

"It's okay, just say I insist on doing this, he won't blame you." Lu Xiyan didn't like Zhang Yang. What is Cuihu Hotel? He has never been to, and he has heard of it. It is the best hotel in Kunming. Whoever goes to eat is not a rich and powerful person.

It’s not that he is afraid of being recognized, but that he really doesn’t want to get into unnecessary trouble. He is careful not to make a big mistake.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's listen to Mr. Bian Que. I know there is a small restaurant where his wild game is well made and the price is fair. I'll take you to try it?"

"Okay." If Lu Xiyan refuses again, he will be ungrateful.

Under the leadership of Shen Jie, the three of them parked their car at the entrance of an alley, got out of the car, entered the alley, and walked forward for about twenty or thirty meters under the dim street lights, and then they saw a sign carrying a curtain at the entrance of a small restaurant.

Chen Jie is very familiar with the boss. After entering, he walked directly into Lu Xiyan.

A small private room with little space and good privacy.

"You guys sit down first, I'll let the boss serve the food." Chen Jie greeted.

The wild game in the small restaurant is indeed well made, especially a few cured dishes. Lu Xiyan ate it very delicious. If he hadn't had something to do, he would have wanted to buy some cured dishes and take them back.

Lu Xiyan insisted on not drinking, so Chen Jie had to pour himself a drink. After dinner, he took him to the hotel to settle down and agreed to come and pick him up early tomorrow morning to formally discuss the matter.

In order to cooperate with Lu Xiyan's smuggling business, Dai Yunong also registered and established a trading company in Kunming. The two companies reached a cooperation agreement to use formal trade to cover smuggled drugs and other banned strategic materials.

For domestic reasons, some strategic materials are embargoed by Europe and the United States. If they can be brought to China, they will be unsuccessful. Therefore, even if they are transported publicly, they will not be investigated and punished. Unless someone is obsessed with profit, they would rather everyone fail to do it than let others do it.

In fact, the risk in China is not great, and if the Military Control Commission wants to smuggle, it is a favorable thing for the people. I am afraid that the senior management will turn a blind eye.

On the contrary, the most risky one is transporting materials from abroad.

Lu Xiyan needs to find reliable partners.

This is something he needs to consider after solving it. He also needs to eat one bite at a time. First, open up the land channel for drug smuggling.

The next morning, Chen Jie sent someone Yan Xiaobao to drive over and take Lu Xiyan to the company.

"Mr. Bian Que, I am currently in charge of Kunming Company. According to the rules set by you and Boss Dai, we are responsible for helping you clear the goods you sent from Hanoi. As long as the goods arrive in China, you will be 100% worried, and there is absolutely no problem." Chen Jie said, "As for the issue of taking the accounts, it is still the old method: separation of money and goods, and going to overseas accounts."

"Yes." Lu Xiyan said, "I am just an agent, but there is someone else behind me who does business with Boss Dai."

"I understand, brother, I am also working hard for Boss Dai. We count it the same." Chen Jie laughed, "Mr. Bian Que, you are happy, I am happy too. Boss Dai means whether you can reduce the advance payment to 30%, and then pay the full payment after the goods are taken."

"The reduction is a bit too big. In the past, it was 70% advance payment, and the remaining 30% of the next batch of goods on delivery. This is the old rule. We also need funds to purchase the goods." Lu Xiyan said.

"We have not had enough funds..."

"I have an idea. I wonder if Brother Chen can consider it?" Lu Xiyan originally wanted to directly supply the goods and get money and then purchase the goods, but after understanding it, he found that some European and American countries also continued to produce some domestic products, such as tung oil, silk and bristles.

"Mr. Bian Que, you said."

"Barriage, you take out the goods I need of the same value. I will supply you with the same value of goods. We have also saved money from transactions, which will save a lot of trouble, what do you think?"
