Chapter 141 Getting Rich
Zhang Wenwu first went to the military station wearing a raincoat to find Wu Jincheng, and told him that he wanted to do a big deal and needed the military station to arrange a train for him to Shanghai. If the deal was done, he would give the military station a commission of one thousand yuan.
Wu Jincheng didn't even ask what the specific business was about, and immediately arranged a train for Zhang Wenwu, which could depart from Nanxiang to Shanghai at any time. This train was a temporary emergency train in their military station, and it was just right to be lent to Zhang Wenwu for use.
He felt that since Zhang Wenwu didn't say what the specific business was, he shouldn't ask. If he heard something he shouldn't hear, he would be in trouble. Wouldn't it be nice to sit quietly in the military station and wait to collect the money?
After waiting at the military station for about an hour and a half, Cao Huaguo led Li Houcai, Wang Mazi and other officers and soldiers to the gate of the military station. When Zhang Wenwu saw that everyone was there, he waved his hand and entered the Nanxiang Railway Station with the special pass issued by Wu Jincheng. On the outermost track, a train that had been prepared long ago was already waiting.
Zhang Wenwu called the train driver down, took out a map of Shanghai, and asked Li Houcai to point out the approximate location of the warehouse. The train driver chose to stop at the nearest place based on the location pointed out by Li Houcai.
Zhang Wenwu was sitting in a carriage, looking at the heavy rain outside the door, and sighed that God was helping him, it was simply perfect weather. Li Houcai was in the train cab, helping to add coal to the boiler. The train stopped twenty minutes after leaving Nanxiang Station. The driver got off the train and moved the switch on the side of the road, and the train continued to move forward on another track. After about twenty minutes, the train stopped again.
Li Houcai trotted to the door of the first carriage and pointed to the front and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, the warehouse of the Japanese trading company is less than a kilometer ahead."
When Zhang Wenwu heard the destination, he quickly asked Wang Mazi and all the officers and soldiers to get off the car, and everyone needed to walk to the warehouse.
Wang Mazi and his brothers are extremely excited now. They didn't expect that they can use their skills now, and this time they are robbing a Japanese trading company. This is so satisfying. Thinking about the brothers who died in the front these two days, everyone is full of energy.
Li Houcai thought the distance was too far. Zhang Wenwu and his companions walked less than 400 meters before they arrived at a red brick wall, and on the other side of the wall was the warehouse of the Japanese trading company.
Zhang Wenwu looked to both sides and found that the gate was not open on this side, so he asked Wang Mazi and others to solve the problem. He didn't want to take a detour to enter through the gate again. Besides, when he needed to move the goods later, it was impossible to take a detour through the gate. There was no need for that.
"boom"
Three minutes later, with the sound of an explosion, the wall collapsed more than three meters. Zhang Wenwu nodded, very satisfied with the size of the entrance and exit. Wang Mazi had already rushed into the wall with a company of brothers holding guns.
There were four large warehouses inside this wall. Wang Mazi and his men easily broke the iron locks on the warehouse doors.
Zhang Wenwu came to a room near the warehouse gate. Li Houcai was already waiting inside with several soldiers. When he saw Zhang Wenwu coming in, he immediately reported, "Deputy Director Zhang, the people in the duty room must have heard the explosion and ran away. We found a safe and its key here, as well as the key to the truck in the yard."
Zhang Wenwu took the truck key and ordered Li Houcai and his men to load all the safes onto the truck and find a way to open them when they got back. He started the truck and prepared to transport the items in the warehouses to the train.
After six hours of hard work by a group of people, Zhang Wenwu and his team managed to transport all the contents in the warehouse to the train. This made everyone exhausted. Zhang Wenwu looked and saw that these people even dismantled the wooden bed in the duty room and transported it to the train. This excellent work style made Zhang Wenwu very satisfied, and he immediately announced that each person would be rewarded with a box of canned British beef.
When Zhang Wenwu brought everyone back to Nanxiang Station, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. He asked Cao Huaguo to go to the military station to buy some food for everyone, while he went to Wu Jincheng's office. He needed to borrow the civilian phone in Wu Jincheng's office to contact the three senior martial arts masters in Shanghai.
"Hello? Hello? Is this Mr. Xu? It's me, kid Zhang Wenwu. Yes, yes, it's me." Zhang Wenwu took a long time to get through to Mr. Xu on the phone, so he quickly told the other party that he had a batch of cotton and spindles, and asked him to help find a suitable buyer, as long as the buyer was not a Japanese trading company. At the same time, he also told the other party his phone number and asked him to notify him immediately if he had any news.
Wu Jincheng now understood why Zhang Wenwu wanted a train for. Cotton and spindles are good things. Winter is almost here and the demand for cotton and spindles is even greater everywhere. This is a good business. As for how Zhang Wenwu got so many goods, Wu Jincheng would not ask. He just pretended to know nothing.
He didn't even need to think about this matter. It must be that Zhang Wenwu and his men robbed someone's warehouse or factory. It couldn't be that Zhang Wenwu and his men picked up these goods on the road.
He has already determined his position. He is just helping his colleagues out of kindness and just needs to sit back and wait to collect the money. His principle is: the less you know, the better you live.
Zhang Wenwu has been waiting for a call in Wu Jincheng's office. Just now, Mr. Xu told him that he would call him back within an hour. There is no shortage of buyers for this kind of goods, and if Mr. Xu comes forward, the buyers will contact him faster. Don't underestimate the power of those old men in Shanghai.
In less than an hour, Mr. Xu called back and said that he had contacted a buyer for Zhang Wenwu. The buyer was a patriotic businessman. After hearing that these were the goods entrusted to Mr. Xu by the soldiers on the front line, he raised the price a little and said that he would rush from Suzhou to Nanxiang Station tomorrow to meet with Zhang Wenwu.
After Zhang Wenwu hung up the phone, he said to Wu Jincheng, "Deputy Stationmaster Wu, the buyer won't arrive from Suzhou until tomorrow, so we'll have to borrow this train for a day or two. I'll bring you the money after the transaction is completed."
After hearing what Zhang Wenwu said, Wu Jincheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Deputy Director Zhang, please use that train first. We don't have any urgent supplies to transport at the military station at the moment. It's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Wenwu did not bother to be polite with Wu Jincheng anymore. Instead, he walked out of the office and returned to the outermost platform where the train stopped.
"Deputy Director Zhang, this safe is too strong and very heavy." Wang Mazi looked at the safe in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. He had seen what strong meant. He and his brothers tried every possible method, but still failed to open the safe.
Zhang Wenwu was holding a cold steamed bun in his hand and eating while saying, "Li Houcai, try to open the safe with the password you used before." He could only try his luck.
"Deputy Director Zhang, I tried it and changed the password." Li Houcai looked at Zhang Wenwu helplessly. He had tried the previous password a long time ago, but it was still useless.
Zhang Wenwu was at a loss now. He couldn't use grenades to blow up the building. Regardless of whether the grenades would work or not, if he blew up two grenades inside Nanxiang Railway Station, the guards would rush over in less than two minutes, and his plan would be exposed. He was not afraid of his plan being exposed, but he was afraid that after it was exposed, too many people would come and ask for a share of the profits, and he would not be able to maximize his profits, which would make him feel too disadvantaged.
"Well, Deputy Director Zhang, how about letting me give it a try?" Cao Huaguo leaned close to Zhang Wenwu and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Wenwu was stunned. Cao Huaguo could open a safe? Was that true? But he had no other ideas. He might as well let Cao Huaguo try. So he nodded to Cao Huaguo. At the same time, Zhang Wenwu moved closer. He was a little curious about how Cao Huaguo opened the safe.
Cao Huaguo took the key of the safe from Li Houcai and inserted it. Then he lay on the safe with his ear against the door, while one hand kept turning the combination lock.
Zhang Wenwu looked at it and thought, wow, is this a thief picking locks? What did Cao Huaguo do before? He looked like he had inherited this from his ancestors. But when he saw Cao Huaguo's fat body, he felt that he really didn't look like someone who could do that. He would find a chance to ask Cao Huaguo later to see if he had any abilities that he hadn't discovered yet.
Zhang Wenwu asked everyone to step back and keep quiet. After he finished his steamed bun, he lit a cigarette and sat on the platform, smoking while watching Cao Huaguo open the safe.
Just when Zhang Wenwu felt like giving up, Cao Huaguo stood up, sweating all over his face, and said happily, "It's open, haha, it's open, Deputy Director Zhang, I'll open it."
After hearing what Cao Huaguo said, Zhang Wenwu stood up from the platform, ran to Cao Huaguo and said, "Is it open? Come and see what good things are inside." He was also excited. This thing was like opening a blind box. If there were good things inside, then his action this time would be more profitable.
Cao Huaguo turned the key, then grabbed the door handle and pulled hard, and the door of the safe opened. After Zhang Wenwu looked at the scene in the safe, his mouth opened wide and he exclaimed in his heart: Oh my god, I'm rich, I'm rich, I won't be short of money in the future.
