Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world

Chapter 29 Still, Dad Is Easier to Fool! 100,000 Dollars for 30,000 Laborers

What is 100% loyalty? This is 100% loyalty! Even if Ma Maoxun has to cry, he must take the blame for Zhang Xueming.

“I’ll kill you!” Just as Zhang Zuolin on the other end of the phone was about to fly into a rage, Zhang Xueming took the call.

“Dad! Calm down, I’m in Harbin right now, just got in touch with the Russians.”

“They have a batch of guns they can release under the pretext of being scrap. A total of 2,000 rifles and dozens of cannons! But the Russians are asking for a high price, 600,000 dollars.”

???? ??? Wait a minute!

This time, it wasn’t just Ma Maoxun. Even Yu Fengzhi was stunned.

What the heck, when did you meet the Russians? Didn’t you just visit a Russian jewelry store? And this 600,000 dollars… You didn’t just add a zero to the 60,000-dollar jewelry you just bought, did you? I’ve seen people scam their fathers, but not like this!

At this moment, Zhang Zuolin calmed down. “2,000 rifles and dozens of cannons? Son, is it true?”

“I’m your son, don’t you trust me? If you want, I can have my people send you two sample guns. They’re definitely new and unlike anything you’ve seen. When they fire, it’s like water beads!”

After all, the military has the Mosin-Nagant cavalry rifles, which are famous World War II weapons. It wouldn’t be too bad to fool his dad with two of those!

Seeing that his son was so confident, Zhang Zuolin hesitated. He had just taken the position of the Governor of Fengtian and urgently needed to strengthen his military power. If these 2,000 rifles and dozens of cannons were real, he could at least form a brigade! But 600,000 dollars… Right now, the Fengtian army was poor. Even if he took all his savings, it wouldn’t be enough.

At this moment, Zhang Xueming immediately offered a solution.

“Dad, I know our Fengtian army is low on funds! But the Russians need laborers to build a road.” “I told them we could send 30,000 workers over!”

“When they heard that, not only did they waive the 600,000 dollars, but they’re also willing to pay us 100,000 dollars for the hard work!”

Damn! Upon hearing this, both Ma Maoxun and Yu Fengzhi’s eyes widened.

What a clever trick!

He was using 100,000 dollars to exchange for 30,000 laborers from his dad!

Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, Zhang Zuolin had fallen for it.

“30,000 laborers is easy to gather, but… can we have the Russians pay first?”

Zhang Zuolin was an old fox. Naturally, he wouldn’t act without first receiving the money!

Zhang Xueming laughed.

“Dad, we’re in this together. I told the Russians the same thing. They said they could only send 50,000 dollars first.”

“If you agree, I’ll have them send the money right away!”

“But they’re in a hurry, they need to send 10,000 men within a week, or they’ll sell the guns and cannons to the Mongolian princes in Chahar!”

“Damn! Those wild Mongols dare to take our military supplies? Tell the Russians, if they pay first, I’ll start gathering the laborers tomorrow!” After hanging up, Zhang Xueming patted the completely stunned Yu Fengzhi.

“Let’s go, there’s a Citibank next door, let’s send the money to Dad!”

…

Half an hour later, in the Fengtian Governor’s Mansion, Zhang Zuolin looked at the 50,000-dollar savings certificate from Citibank in his hand, deep in thought.

This kid, Zhang Xueming, actually made a deal with the Russians!

Beside him, his fifth concubine chuckled.

“I’ve always known that Xueming was different.” “He was the one who pushed his brother to kill my Samo tiger cub back then!”

“And this time, he led the anti-bandit operation, which was quite spectacular. People are calling him the reincarnation of a ‘living Yama!’”

“If you go to the restaurant outside, you’ll hear that Zhang Xueming’s name is now more famous than yours!”

“This brat, he’s really made a name for himself!” Zhang Zuolin cursed under his breath, but secretly, he felt pleased.

What parent doesn’t wish for their child to succeed?

Although he still had doubts, the money was already in hand. Which scammer would send money first? Even if the Russians were trying to scam him, they probably wouldn’t scam him that much!

Zhang Zuolin stood up and dialed the phone. “Yuting, give the provincial government an order to recruit 30,000 laborers and send them to Zhang Xueming!”

“Yes! Make it fast!”

After doing all this, Zhang Zuolin still couldn’t believe it as he looked at the bank ticket in his hand.

“Damn, this brat really has some skills. He actually got the Russians to send money first!”

…

“Grandpa! Are you sure it’s fine to deceive the old General like this?”

After leaving the bank, Yu Fengzhi felt uneasy. But Zhang Xueming was unusually relaxed.

“Fengzhi, you’re asking the wrong question. How am I deceiving my dad?”

“We haven’t even met with the Russians!”

“Meeting or not doesn’t matter. My dad wants guns, but I can make guns myself! Why bother looking for the Russians?”

“But we haven’t made them yet!”

“We haven’t made them because we don’t have people. If my dad sends workers over, we’ll have people, and then we can make them!”

Yu Fengzhi was completely stunned. She felt her brain was about to short-circuit. Which came first, the egg or the chicken? Her husband seemed to have solved a complex problem effortlessly.

“Pregnancy makes you dumb for three years. Don’t think about such complex things,” Zhang Xueming said, holding Yu Fengzhi as they walked forward.

“I heard that the ‘Matilda’ ice cream shop next to the Sofia Church is very famous. Let me take you there to try it!”
