Chapter 178 Cold Blooded

If a person has only one brain, he has strong self-control. If he doesn’t want feelings, then he wants cotton.

The procurement trade between Jichen Company and Chongqing has been finalized. The cotton that was floating in Kong Liqiang's heart has now made him see a feasible dawn.

Kong Liqiang originally thought that when he wanted to get cotton, he would continue to send it to the base through Huang Shuping's transportation line, but was rejected by Huang Shuping. Now, Kong Liqiang seemed to see the dawn, which was the Yangtze River route for Chongqing purchasing supplies. The reason was that Ding Yuchun and the others would definitely use their power to issue a green pass under the nose of the Japanese in the name of civil goods. Then, cotton is also civil supplies, and they should be loaded into it first. After passing the blockade line set by the Japanese in Wusongkou and then switch halfway, this move will be successful, and the base troops will not have to worry about wintering.

If you have a good idea, where will the cotton come from?

Go to the market to buy it? Kong Liqiang has no money, and even if Da Wei Xing has money, he cannot use it at will.

Go to Black to grab it? Kong Liqiang is alone and has no way to talk about it!

However, there will always be solutions! Think quietly and concentrate and you can always find a solution!

That’s right! Kong Liqiang thought of it! He used the reverse force method and thought of a way to raise cotton!

Kong Liqiang recalled that Huang Shuping had gone to the church to donate money, so the church could also accept donations in kind, and cotton could also be used as donations. Then the church would donate to the north of Jiangsu. Where to go to raise cotton? Kong Liqiang was based in Shanghai, so he could only focus on a few local capitalists he was familiar with.

It is a very common thing for capitalists to do charity. As long as it does not involve party interests, the new government and the Japanese will not interfere. The reason why Kong Liqiang wanted to get involved in the church was to dispel the capitalists' concerns about donating.

What he didn't expect was that Kong Liqiang encountered walls everywhere.

First, he was rejected by Father Zachley in the church, saying that the church donated materials and never cheated or offended the new government and the Japanese. Then the capitalists with trade exchanges shook their heads directly, because donations were not done casually, but needed to be registered by the Chamber of Commerce and allowed to donate, otherwise the rules of the Chamber of Commerce would be broken.

Kong Liqiang worked hard for nearly a month but didn't see any signs. The freighter from Hong Kong had already parked at Shiliupu Wharf and had started unloading and warehousing.

Seeing that there was no hope, Kong Liqiang had no choice but to discuss with Zhuo Linan, using the wages he received at Dawei Store, and then borrowed some from Yan Qing and bought cotton directly from the market.

Zhuo Linan asked: "How much money do you have? How much can you buy?"

Kong Liqiang said helplessly: "It's better to buy as much as we can," he said.

Zhuo Linan asked again: "Even if you do it according to your ideas, how can you send it to the base?"

Kong Liqiang still looked helpless: "It is always a hurdle that cannot be connected to the organization, but I can't get over it just by being restricted."

"We can't let the cotton be placed on the dock. We burn incense and petition at home. Organize! Leader, the cotton is here, you can pick it up!"

"Haha! But we can do it as a living!"

"Ding Zhencai?"

"Yes."

"On the first hand, we don't know if Ding Zhencai is our comrade. With just Huang Guiren's words, we can't be sure, nor can we recognize him rashly in violation of organizational discipline. Secondly, even if Ding Zhen is our comrade, we have not received instructions from our superiors and sent the cotton directly, who dares to accept it? Our comrades will definitely suspect that it is the Japanese who are practicing fishing and seizing us."

"I handed the cotton over to Lao Ding to deal with it, but I don't say what happened. If he was ours, I think he would have transferred the cotton over. If we believe in the wrong person, we should take the money to learn a lesson."

"Comrade Kong Liqiang, your idea is unreliable, and it's a big mistake. When doing business, there is a source but no source. Not to mention Japanese, even fools will see that there is something wrong with it. Besides, among us, there is Huang Guiren. Also, if you do this, Huang Guiren is also a good person. We can't deceive him. He will definitely doubt your sincerity in rebelling against the river and entering the throne. If you force him to be too anxious, hum, you will definitely sell you to the Japanese."

"You have made sense in your analysis, but the troops cannot have cotton without cloth! Otherwise, how can they spend the winter? It's colder and the Chongqing cargo ship route is about to start, so we have to take some risks."

"Some risks must be taken, and some risks are not worth taking."

"It seems that I still have to ask Huang Shuping to tell me the shell company that is running in Yancheng that we will send the cotton directly to Yancheng, and then leave it to fate and do whatever they want."

"I agree to send the cotton to Yancheng. But I don't agree to trouble Huang Shuping again. Since they refuse, we shouldn't force others to do anything."

"Okay, let me think about it again, I will definitely find a way."

"Comrade Kong Liqiang, I say something I shouldn't say. Maybe, give up your cotton plan, we obey the orders of our superiors, and continue to lie dormant, and you won't make mistakes..."

"You mean, am I making a mistake when I do this?"

"Disobeying orders means making mistakes. There is no excuse. Obeying orders is our duty, and it is our duty."

"If everyone thinks like you, Mingzhe Security, what's the point of us lurking here!"

"But why don't you change your mind? Are there other comrades in cotton doing it?"

"What if they can't do it? For example, when I returned to my hometown to make food, four or five comrades failed, and even a few of them did not return to the team. This is a lesson! Now, I have a route in my hands, and it's a pity not to use it."

"But we can't be unrealistic, to do things that we can't do or do."

"Oh, if you don't do it, who can know whether it will succeed? If you don't try it, it will never happen."

"You are always so stubborn."

"On the secret front, who are not stubborn and the other comrades? Are Yan Qing, Huang Guiren and others the same? Who would have thought that the Chongqing government would collude with Wang Thief who was incompatible with the fire and water on the surface?"

"I can't tell you."

"You have changed now, and you used to be so rude to me."

"Because I found that it turns out that most of your persistence is right."

“What is my minority?”

"Your minority is called stubbornness, or even cold-blooded."

"Cold-blooded?"

"Isn't it? You know that Qiao Yingzi likes you, but you're good, and you don't give me an explanation. The relationship is dragging on you. Now that I'm fine, I'm getting married, so don't count on you."

“Is this related to cold-blooded?”

"It's relevant! You are in a crisis and can't talk about marriage. Then why are you trying to provoke others? If you make them tempted, you retreat again. What's not this cold-blooded animal? A cold-blooded animal!"

Kong Liqiang responded speechlessly, why can't he hear the hidden meaning? Zhuo Linan was clearly talking about his thoughts by Qiao Yingzi.

He looked at Zhuo Linan and felt apologized. She was absolutely opposite to Qiao Yingzi's personality. She liked it, but she seemed to lack something?

What is missing? Kong Liqiang himself doesn’t know, he cannot answer himself, nor can he answer Zhuo Linan just now.

So Kong Liqiang casually said: "I seem to have a way."

Zhuo Liman didn't expect Kong Liqiang's thoughts to jump so much, so he asked, "What's the solution?"

Kong Liqiang said: "I want to tell you again."

Zhuo Linan looked at Kong Liqiang and had to shake his head slightly and quietly sort out his complicated thoughts!
