Zhang Lixing took Qian Xiaobao to his room and closed the door and said, "You are back. Your superiors have asked me several times, but you have never come back."

"How did I tell you when I met last time? Why don't you remember, a nerd! Be steady! If something happens to you, all the two old men and women who are closest to you outside will be finished!" Qian Xiaobao said.

When Zhang Lixing heard Qian Xiaobao mention his parents, he finally calmed down.

"A small mistake will harm yourself and also cause a large number of people to suffer. You must always remember this!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Zhang Lixing nodded silently.

"What's the matter with me?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"The superior now knows that you have transported all the equipment from Fuhe's cotton mill back to Japan, so I want to talk to you about the acquisition of cotton. This is what the superior leader told me. The specific situation can only be discussed in person after meeting each other." Zhang Lixing replied.

After hearing what Zhang Lixing said, Qian Xiaobao lowered his head and said nothing.

"What do you think? If you promise, you will do a great thing for the people! You can meet with your superiors first and talk to you. As long as you are willing, I will report to your superiors immediately." Zhang Lixing said.

Qian Xiaobao looked up at Zhang Lixing and said, "Your superiors should already know that I'm here at your house now."

Zhang Lixing was stunned for a moment and immediately woke up. He couldn't help but look out the window.

"But you still have to report immediately, just say I am willing to talk to them." Qian Xiaobao said.

Zhang Fawu of Beihai Bank had secretly arrived in Shanghai from Shandong for more than half a month. The red bank of Beihai Bank, a red bank, made important contributions to the stable development of the Shandong liberated economy during the War of Resistance.

Even the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong had to quietly purchase supplies in Shandong using the currency Beihai tickets issued by Beihai Bank.

But now, the government troops are attacking from north to south, and several secret trade routes are cut off, and a large amount of materials are backlogged and urgently need to be sold as soon as possible. If the economy of the liberated area is stabilized, then the liberated area has the confidence to defeat the enemy in an advantageous position.

After Zhang Fawu arrived in Shanghai, he maintained a single-line contact with the Shanghai underground party. Half a month has passed and there is no news. He was waiting for him anxiously.

Today, the traffic officer responsible for defending him safety finally told him that he could meet. Then he took him out of his residence and walked through several alleys and handed him over to another traffic officer. Then he boarded a small boat on the edge of the river and went down the river for more than ten miles before returning to the ashore.

The same is true for Qian Xiaobao. He and Zhang Lixing did not go far, but someone kept Zhang Lixing and only took him to Hengsha Island after two replacements.

In a thatched hut on the shore of Hengsha Island, Qian Xiaobao and Zhang Fawu and Mr. Kuzhai finally met.

Mr. Kuzhai shook hands with Qian Xiaobao intimately and pointed at Zhang Fawu and said, "This is a comrade from Shandong. Let the three of us sit down and talk."

The three of them were very tacitly in their understanding and sat down without introducing each other's name to each other. The one who exposed the most was Qian Xiaobao, and he knew nothing about the true identities of the other two people.

"Mr. Qian Xiaobao is said to have a business in Japan, namely a textile factory. He is so young and promising. The eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was finally victorious. He should let the people recuperate and live a good life in peace and contentment. However, the National Government launched a war against the will of the people! They will definitely fail!" said Mr. Kuzhai.

"I heard Comrade Zhang Lixing say that you are his good friend and a trustworthy person. At this time, you must gain a firm foothold and not be with the corrupt officials and war dealers of the Republic of China government!" Mr. Kuzhai continued.

"I heard from Zhang Lixing that you hope I will do something for you, and I am willing to help if I can." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Okay! Since Mr. Qian is very wise, let's get straight to the point." Mr. Kuzhai said happily.

After he said that, he looked at Zhang Fawu and waited for him to introduce the situation.

"I came here from Shandong. The original grain, cotton, sea salt and peanut oil in the liberated area can be transported north to Pingjin and south to Shanghai and Qingdao. But now these trade routes are blocked. We urgently need to find new buyers!" Zhang Fawu said.

"Mr. Qian runs a textile factory in Japan. Shandong and Japan are very close to each other across the sea. Can cotton from the liberated area be transported to Japan?" Zhang Fawu asked.

Qian Xiaobao asked: "How to trade? Did you secretly transport cotton to Japan on a boat?"

Zhang Fawu immediately smiled bitterly and said, "There are no large ships in the liberated areas now, even if there is a large ship fuel, it is a problem. We only have small boats that can carry a few tons of cargo. It is best if you drive the ships along the coast and we use small boats to transport them from the shore."

"No, there are warships from the National Government in Yantai and Qingdao in Tianjin. It is too slow to transport back and forth dozens of times by small boats. The time will be delayed for a long time, which is too dangerous." Qian Xiaobao shook his head and said.

"The other way is to transport the lint to the island outside the sea, and you load the goods directly from the island." Zhang Fawu said.

It seems that Zhang Fawu had prepared very well before coming to Shanghai this time, and prepared several sets of plans in advance.

"This method is OK. I wonder if you have found a suitable location." Qian Xiaobao said.

Zhang Fawu immediately took out a map from his pocket and spread it out. He pointed to a black dot on the tip of the peninsula and said, "This is Rongcheng. There is a small island called Hailu Island in the four seas northwest of Rongcheng. We think it is very suitable there."

Qian Xiaobao lowered his head and looked at the little black dot called Hailu Island carefully.

"We can only transport 300 tons of goods at a time. You can prepare 300 tons of cotton on the island. We will trade on the island after discussing the delivery time." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Okay, it's best for us to discuss a rough time now. You can't delay it for too long. The heavy tide on the sea will affect the quality after absorbing water." Zhang Fawu reminded.

After discussing the transaction location and method, it is time to negotiate the price.

"We cannot accept fiat currency. This money is becoming more and more like waste paper. And the people in the liberated areas do not recognize fiat currency at all. Can it be traded with gold and silver? Gold bars and oceans are fine. Cotton is transported back to Japan and turned into Japanese yen and can be pegged to the US dollar. Can it be exchanged for gold?" Zhang Fawu said.

"I can trade with you in gold." Qian Xiaobao nodded and said.

"How about a liang of gold for two thousand kilograms, that is, a ton of lint?" Zhang Fawu asked. This price is very cost-effective for them. It saves transportation costs when trading overseas, and there is no need to worry anymore.

This price is almost the same as the cotton purchase price of various cotton mills in Shanghai.

"Okay! You just need to report tons of cotton and we can return to Japan to weigh it!" Qian Xiaobao nodded and agreed. He did not bargain at all, and he completely trusted Zhang Fawu.
