Chapter 242 Subscription of Shares
Upon hearing this, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
How can this be considered a "but"?
But thinking about it, it's normal for Comrade Xiao Jiang to have concerns, after all, 200,000 is a considerable sum.
Taking a deep breath, Commander Yao said, "Xiao Jiang, if you have any concerns or need us to do anything, just say so."
"Within our capabilities, we will definitely find a way to solve this for you."
Jiang Si does indeed have a tricky problem, but it's not what everyone thinks.
Seeing that Commander Yao and the others were sweating profusely with anxiety, she quickly explained the situation.
She had already counted the money; it was 200,000 yuan, not a penny less.
The problem now is that the money that was previously deposited on Qiongzhou Island was withdrawn and donated to the Fourth Division some time ago.
The remaining 200,000 yuan will either be deposited in Shanghai or Beijing.
Since the bank doesn't offer intercity withdrawal services right now, she'll probably have to make a trip to Shanghai and Beijing herself if she wants to withdraw the money.
But given her current situation...
“That’s easy.” Commander Yao immediately dispelled her concerns.
Perhaps because the surprise in Jiang Si's eyes was too obvious, Commander Yao even gave a special explanation.
"Your household registration has now been transferred to the military system. I'll have someone prepare an explanation and a letter of authorization for you later."
"We'll contact the local military commission later. If they coordinate this, there shouldn't be any major problems."
After saying that, he looked over again and asked, "Besides this, do you have any other requests?"
Jiang Si shook her head.
"Okay, here's the subscription agreement. Take a look at it first."
Commander Yao reiterated his previous statement: "Speak your mind freely, don't be shy."
Jiang Si wouldn't be embarrassed at all.
After carefully reading through the contract and confirming that there were no problems, I signed my name at the end.
The contract is made in duplicate.
Looking at the newly signed subscription contract, Commander Yao and his men were stunned for a long time before they could come to their senses.
In just a short while, they managed to raise 200,000 yuan.
"Cough cough cough—"
Finally, it was Political Commissar Li's clear cough that brought them back to their senses.
"Comrades, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and now is not the time to celebrate."
"We're still short 300,000, which is no small sum."
Before Commander Yao could speak, Political Commissar Li continued, "Young Jiang has only been in the Fourth Division for less than a year, and this time he's donating money and buying shares. I'm afraid he's emptied his pockets."
"You know, she's given so much, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable if we didn't show our appreciation?"
We've been working together for over ten years, everyone knows each other by heart.
Upon hearing this, Commander Yao immediately laughed and scolded.
"Alright, Lao Li, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me, how much do you want to subscribe to this time?"
Political Commissar Li didn't mince words, holding up two fingers: "Twenty thousand."
Despite his soft voice, the expression on his face was incredibly proud.
He even resorted to using his good looks to persuade his wife.
He's so old, is it easy for him?
"Sure, Lao Li!"
As soon as Division Commander Yao finished speaking, the Division Chief of Staff echoed him.
"Well, my wife and I discussed it, and our family will also subscribe for 20,000 this time."
Like Political Commissar Li, persuading his wife was a difficult process, but fortunately she eventually agreed.
All I can say is that after working together for a long time, there is a certain level of understanding between us.
After laughing, Commander Yao said, "What a coincidence, our family is the same."
They exchanged glances as they spoke.
Well, those who know, know.
Just then, a series of knocks came from the door.
The door opened, and Commander Yao was taken aback. "Huh? What are you two doing here?"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
It was already noon, but the military families living in the compound had no appetite for cooking.
After discussing it, the group all went to Director Pan's house.
Director Pan went to a meeting at the logistics department and hasn't returned yet. They were received by Director Pan's mother-in-law, Aunt Xu.
Seeing more than ten people arrive all at once, Aunt Xu was quite puzzled, "What's going on with you all?"
My sister-in-law is quick to speak, and she told me the situation as soon as she sat down.
The story begins a few hours earlier.
The news came from Granny Qian's side.
Aunt Xu's eyes flickered after hearing this, but she didn't rush to express her opinion.
He only asked one question, "Is Granny Qian's statement believable?"
Although Granny Qian was known as the know-it-all of the family compound.
But she tends to exaggerate when she speaks.
The other women in the family couldn't vouch for her, but there must have been something like that.
After all, it wasn't just Granny Qian who saw it.
One of the women replied, "Anyway, the division commander did send someone to invite Comrade Jiang over early this morning, but I don't know what they talked about."
"What else can we talk about? It's definitely about the factory and the share subscription."
The man was somewhat unhappy about this.
“Everyone attended the previous meeting, but today only Comrade Jiang was invited.”
"Who knows, maybe the division commander will leak some information to her."
"By the way, the people from the design institute also went to the division headquarters early this morning."
"Did people from the design institute go too?"
"yes."
The woman said, "If you ask me, we can't just sit here like this. When Director Pan comes back, we have to go to the division headquarters to ask."
These words were immediately echoed by the other women in the family.
The main reason is that the people from the design institute have been going to Commander Huo's house every few days during this period.
That's why everyone was so anxious.
I was afraid of missing the latest news.
Just when everyone thought that Aunt Xu would be just as anxious as they were after hearing this,
Aunt Xu spoke up, "What's there to ask? The military will announce it when the time is right."
After saying that, Aunt Xu glanced at the person who had just spoken.
How others make a fuss is their business; it's none of her concern.
But she insisted on dragging her daughter-in-law into it, which Aunt Xu firmly disagreed with.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, but I'll give you a piece of advice."
"In the future, we should avoid making a big deal out of things that have no basis in reality; it has a bad influence."
"How could something like this have vanished without a trace?"
The woman was still a little unconvinced, muttering, "The division commander only called her. Many people in the family compound saw it. I didn't make things up."
"So what if she's alone?"
Aunt Xu said, "If I send you, can you build houses for them, or can you pay them?"
“Auntie, you can’t say that. These shares are related to our year-end dividends. We can’t afford to be careless at this time…”
"Pay attention? How much more attention do you need?"
Aunt Xu interrupted her directly, "The higher-ups said at the last meeting that the amount of subscription is entirely voluntary."
"Just a couple of days ago, my daughter-in-law said that if any of you want to subscribe, you can just come and register. Why do you want to subscribe?"
One sentence was enough to shut someone up completely.
The woman's face turned pale and then flushed, and it took her a long time to finally manage to squeeze out this sentence.
"I wanted to subscribe, but I don't know anything about the situation right now. If I just hand over the money and lose money, who will be responsible?"
Aunt Xu had lived to a ripe old age; how could she not know what she was up to?
She reiterated, "The higher-ups will announce it when the time is right, but you can't expect anyone to guarantee it."
It was quite a coincidence that just as Aunt Xu finished speaking...
The loudspeaker in the family compound then blared out at just the right moment.
