Chapter 80 Financing Problem
Gu Lianyun's sudden poisoning made Ouyang Yun start to worry about the safety of the ghost house. It just so happened that the defense line of the Xuebing Brigade had been confirmed, and after the flag-giving ceremony the day after tomorrow, the whole brigade would march to Renqiu.Early the next morning, he and Bai Liusu took Gu Lianyun to the hospital for an examination, and after confirming that she was fine, they moved to Wanping with them and the Hutong special operations team.

That night, he brought a few students from the former third company, and drove five trucks from Wanping to the wolf's den.The next day, I invited a few local old men to help take care of the wolf den, then removed the training equipment that could be taken away, took all the members of the Wolf Fang, and drove to Wanping - so far, all the personnel of the Xuebing Brigade have gathered Together, start preparations for the flag ceremony on June 6.

On June 6th, on a sunny day, at 6:9 in the morning, on the No. 15 training ground of the Wanping Barracks, the establishment of the Independent Brigade of Soldiers and the flag-giving ceremony began. The three leaders of the 2th Army, Song Zheyuan, Qin Dechun, and Zhang Weifan, all attended the scene. In front of the square formed by the students, under the solemn gaze of the students, Song Zheyuan handed over a brand-new military flag of the Independent Brigade of Students to Ouyang Yun, and then announced gave a speech titled "I am subjugated and the country survives"——

"Soldiers of the Independent Brigade, today is a special day. The 29th Army Scholar Independent Brigade was established. Since then, there has been a team with both civil and military skills on the land of China. From then on, you have become a soldier from a student! You will use the pens in your hands and the guns on your shoulders to defend the dignity of the country and realize your own personal value... One day we will face such a choice. What would the choice be?"

"I will perish and survive the country!" The students made their choice with thunderous voices.

Song Zheyuan nodded gratifiedly, and then said: "Very well, my country survives, if all my descendants of Yan and Huang can have such determination, then in this world, which country dares to underestimate us, and which bandit dares to spy on our land? !..."

This flag-giving ceremony was insisted on by Ouyang Yun-the military flag is the most important historical evidence in the inheritance of an army, inheriting the spiritual power of an army, and it is the soul of the army.Ouyang Yun wanted to let the soldiers realize the importance of the military flag and establish a sense of honor through the flag-giving ceremony.

After Song Zheyuan finished his speech, he ran to the other party, stood at attention and saluted, then raised the military flag in his hands high, and said in a loud voice: "Ouyang Yun, the first brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, assured the military seat that people are with the flag. The flag is in the position, and the Xuebing Independent Brigade is confident that our military flag will always fly high, and it will always only represent honor and victory, and will always be loyal to the people and the 29th Army!" Then he turned around and shouted at the Xuebing team: "Xuebing All the brigade, rest a moment, stand at attention, and swear! Welcome to the flag!"

Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu, who stood at the front of the formation, ran forward, stood at attention, and saluted. Ji Xingwen took the military flag and held it high, and said loudly with Li Tieshu: "Ji Xingwen, chief of staff of the Xuebing Brigade (deputy brigade commander Li Tieshu) I swear to the military flag—the people are with the flag, the flag is with the position, and the Independent Brigade of Soldiers is confident that our military flag will always fly high, and it will always only represent honor and victory, and will always be loyal to the people and the 29th Army!"

After the two of them, representatives of other officers of the brigade, Ji Xingkai and others took the military flag and took the oath, and then the regiments represented by Chen Shichang and the chief officers of the secret service battalion took the flag and took the oath.

For this flag-presenting ceremony, the Brigade of Soldiers had conducted two drills, and everyone was in place both in terms of mental outlook and movements. Song Zheyuan and others couldn't stop nodding, applauding inwardly. Thinking that he led the troops so well, and only through this ceremony of swearing to welcome the army flag, they could clearly feel that the nearly 600 members of the cadet brigade were gradually condensing into a strong fist like five fingers leaning on the palm.

On their way back to Nanyuan, Zhang Weifan said, "I really can't tell, this little fellow Ouyang Yun is very good at leading troops!"

Qin Dechun deeply felt the same way, and said, "I see next year's drill on New Year's Day, and the Brigade of Soldiers is very likely to take the first place!"

Song Zheyuan said: "Why do I think it's too fancy, it seems to be acting."

Qin Dechun said: "No, no, it's not acting. The expressions of the soldiers are very dignified, and there is clearly strength in it!"

Zhang Weifan tentatively said: "Song Gong, I said, should I add some staff to the Brigade of Soldiers? It seems that there are fewer three regiments."

"Don't worry, let's talk about it after New Year's Day. Putting them in Renqiu has caused a lot of nonsense. If we add more staff to them at this time, I think the student brigade will arouse public anger."

"Well, there is indeed a possibility."

After seeing off the three big bosses, under the auspices of Ouyang Yun, the Student Brigade held the flag-giving ceremony of the headquarters.After the Academy Corps was officially expanded into a brigade, it now has three infantry regiments and a special battalion under its jurisdiction. The Spike Brigade, Special Service Brigade, Fox Tong Special Operations Group, Communication Company, Medical Care Company, and Security Company are directly under the brigade headquarters. After entering Renqiu, a special police squadron will also be established.The communication company, the medical company, and some organizations in the brigade are currently only frameworks due to the scarcity of personnel.The Renqiu Special Police Squadron, together with Fox Tong's anti-espionage department, will be responsible for the security work of the Special Service Brigade.

In the flag-giving ceremony of the headquarters, Ouyang Yun incorporated the recruiting procedures into the army, completely copied the enlisting ceremony of the recruits of the Seventh Steel Company in "Soldiers Assault", and carried out each company as a unit.Because there were only more than 600 people in the original Xuebing Corps plus new recruits, after consulting with Ji Xingwen, he formed the Xue 219 Corps and Xue 2 Corps based on the 3 Corps.Then, based on the original Xue Corps, the Xue 1 Corps and the Secret Service Battalion were formed.The communication company, the medical company, and the security company can only be built slowly.

Ouyang Yun, Ji Xingwen, and Li Tieshu are the three freshmen of the Academy Corps. They led the staff and stood in front of the team, listening to the sound of oath flags one after another: ... the Nth soldier of a certain company swears to the army flag , people are with the flag, the flag is with the position, and we swear that our military flag will always fly high. It will always only represent honor and victory, and will always be loyal to the people and the 29th Army... Ouyang Yun is certainly smiling and enjoys this scene ; Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu looked at him and at those resolute-looking soldiers, and finally understood why he insisted on holding this oath ceremony-this is definitely not something that can be summed up in a flash, soldiers When receiving the flag, their faces naturally became solemn and sacred. Obviously, they had truly understood the honor represented by the military flag.There is reason to believe that in the coming years, they will use their blood and lives to protect their honor as soldiers.

——They thought highly of Ouyang Yun, the reason why he wanted to hold this flag oath ceremony, which at least looked fancy, was actually just to fulfill his own dream.Before enlisting in the army, he always thought that all the troops would be like the description in "Soldiers Assault", such as the third company of steel, who would hold such a flag oath ceremony. Only after enlisting in the army did he realize that imagination is always more beautiful than reality. It's just a popular joke made by the screenwriter of "Soldier Assault".

Of course, in the 30s, the effect of such a flag oath ceremony was different—the flag oath ceremony of the cadet brigade was so vigorous that it aroused great repercussions in all departments of the 29th Army. The small army followed suit, and the oath flag gradually became a procedure that recruits of the 29th Army had to go through after enlisting in the army. This was beyond the expectation of Ouyang Yun, the initiator. In the subsequent battles between the 29th Army and the Japanese army, many touching stories happened, which gradually made this flag oath ceremony a legendary color, and also made the 29th Army the name of the Iron Army!

After the flag-giving ceremony, it marked the formal establishment of the Brigade of Soldiers, and all of them would be sent to Renqiu to garrison the next day.This is definitely a major event in Ouyang Yun's time travel career. To put it into a cliché, from now on, he will not be fighting alone.Originally, in his plan, the cadet brigade needed to be reorganized, such as the establishment of a soldiers committee with the function of supervising officers and a gendarmerie responsible for military discipline supervision.But because of the joining of the 219 regiment, he decided to wait a while.The Soldiers Committee is definitely not going to work in a unit like the 29th Army that still has the color of a warlord. If it is not done well, he will be labeled as some kind of organization. It would be bad if it caused public outrage.Fortunately, the secretariat and the archives room have been established, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise he made to the trainees in the training class in Tianjin.

That night, after visiting Gu Lianyun, he returned to the dormitory, sat down at the desk, and was about to prepare lessons when a battalion commander on duty knocked on the door and said that someone was looking for him outside the barracks.

When he saw Jiang Shuren who was blocked there at the gate of the barracks, he remembered the matter of the investigation group, and couldn't help but patted his head hard, saying embarrassedly: "Mr. Jiang, look at my memory, I forgot about the matter of the inspection group gone."

Jiang Shuren has been taking care of the investigation team's affairs recently, and he is obviously exhausted.Ouyang Yun saw his sunken eye sockets and obvious lack of sleep, so he said guiltily, "I'm really sorry, I've worked hard lately." He wanted to invite him to the barracks to sit down and talk, but he waved his hand and said, "I won't go in, Brother Ouyang , Someone left the group again today, if this continues, I think the merchants will probably run away by the day of departure."

He was taken aback, and quickly asked: "How could this be?" Ever since the news about Penicillin was released, businessmen in Peiping regarded him as a God of Wealth, and they were afraid that he would not be able to find a way to give gifts. , Why did they shrink back?He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Businessmen were very enthusiastic at the beginning, but they heard that they would be on a boat for nearly a month. Many people retreated, saying that it is a good thing to make money, but the risk at sea is too high. If it’s spent, it’s better not to earn.”

Ouyang Yun thought for a while and finally understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "This is strange, don't all businessmen value money more than their lives? Well, it seems that the temptation is not enough. Then let's fix two Come out of the factory, set up a few models, put the benefits under their noses, and see if they are tempted or not."

Jiang Shuren shook his head helplessly and said, "That's the only thing. One more thing, there is still a big gap in the funds of the oil company. Should we increase the scale of financing?"

"How much is missing?"

"Chen Hanlin holds 10% of the shares and paid 150 million. A few days ago, Adjutant Gu gave me about 200 million, which is at least 200 million short."

The drilling and oil refining equipment needed by the oil company cost a total discount of about 80 US dollars. Chen Hanlin took 10% of the shares and bid 150 million. The 29th Army, Song Zheyuan, Xuebing Brigade, and Ouyang Yun are the three largest shareholders. However, the first two are dry stocks, of which 29 Army and Song Zheyuan have 35%, Xuebing Brigade 15%, and Renqiu County Government 10%. Dry shares, the remaining 40% of the shares, Ouyang Yun uses technology as the 10% of the shares, and the remaining 30% is priced at about 400 million, which needs to be paid in cash by him.

Ouyang Yun considered that there were too many places where money would be used in the future, so the batch of gold was not used, and all the funds were raised by Gu Lianyun by selling the batch of antique calligraphy and paintings.But because the friend of her American boss happened to return to China, without this big buyer, how could she raise so much money all at once just by selling to some retail investors.

"There are two ways. First, go to Junzuo to see if he can help raise some money; or give the Renqiu county government a 20% stake and ask them to contribute money."

Jiang Shuren saw that he never mentioned financing from businessmen, knowing that oil is a strategic resource and must be firmly in the hands of his own people, so he nodded in agreement.Then the two rushed to Nanyuan overnight to ask to see Song Zheyuan.

Song Zheyuan has been operating in Chahar for several years, and he must have money in his hands, but I don’t know if it’s because the days in Shanxi stimulated him so hard that he now treasures his own property. After listening to the two of them explain their intentions , It is very straightforward to explain that there is no money, let them find another way.

Before Jiang Shuren came, he actually expected such a result. Seeing that Song Zheyuan looked at him with blame in his eyes, he smiled bitterly to himself, so he couldn't say anything more.

Ouyang Yun didn't know the truth, and thought that Chahar was not a rich place, so he proposed the second plan, selling 20% ​​of the shares to the Renqiu county government, and the county government would pay for it.

Logically speaking, this plan is not bad. Ouyang Yun is about to serve as the chief executive of Renqiu, and the shares held by the Renqiu county government are still in his hands. However, Song Zheyuan laughed after hearing this suggestion, and reminded him: "The National Government Withdraw from Hebei, do you think the local finances still have money?"

Song Zheyuan has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he knows Lao Jiang's tricks very well, so this remark is not aimless.
