Chapter 21: Rejection
Oil is like a noose hanging around Hitler's neck, Zhuo Fei can help Hitler find out the oil fields in Germany, and can also produce the oil that Germany urgently needs, so Zhuo Fei does not believe that Hitler did not carefully consider a series of suggestions put forward by himself. Zhuo Fei didn't know whether helping Hitler to dig oil out of Germany would affect the course of history, but he knew that this step had to be carried out, and only in this way could he gain Hitler's temporary trust.
Although the word benefit is only two words, the content contained in it is extremely complicated, Zhuo Fei did not wait for the messenger of the Krupp family, but first waited for Hansen, who was in a dilemma. That night, in the Hansen family's manor, although Zhuo Fei and Gustav met with only the two of them, they went to the shooting range to test shoot an assault rifle, but they could not hide it from the Hansen family. Although it was unknown what was in the long box that Huffman was carrying, the smell of gunpowder left behind in the shooting range had made the Hansen family guess about it.
The bodyguards brought by Gustav were very conscientious, not only picking up the dropped bullet casings and broken targets in the shooting range, but also taking away almost all the bullets that shot through the wooden rake, but the Hansen family went through the entire shooting range like a sieve, and a warhead found in the floating soil behind the target soon appeared on the table in the Hansen family's secret room. The warhead has been deformed, but there is no shortage of people in the Hansen family who are familiar with the military industry, and a glance at the warhead that has been deformed already shows that this warhead is not the 7.92 caliber they are familiar with.
The discovery of a warhead different from the 7.92 caliber and the sound of gunfire coming from the shooting range led the Hansen family to conclude that Hansen's young friend from China must have tried to produce a new infantry weapon, and it may have won the attention of Gustav. The Hansen family was also involved in some military enterprises, and Hansen had been in the arms business in China for many years, so he naturally knew that the arms business brought huge benefits, and it was impossible for Hansen's family to let go of such a good opportunity, so they sent Hansen to lobby Zhuo Fei.
Zhuo Fei had already roughly guessed Hansen's intentions, and with the meeting with Gustav, Zhuo Fei did not hide from Hansen anymore. "Hansen, I can probably already guess what you mean, I don't want to refuse you and your family, but I still have to say that this cake is too big, and your family doesn't have the ability to swallow this cake. As a friend, listen to my advice, go back and tell your family, don't get involved in this matter, otherwise it will cause trouble for your family, a lot of trouble. โ
Zhuo Fei's outspokenness made Hansen's face look a little better, and was forced by the elders in the family to persuade Zhuo Fei, Hansen was unwilling, and when he heard Zhuo Fei's refusal, Hansen's heart felt a lot better. "Mr. Zhuo, with all due respect, although our Bain family is not a wealthy family, there are also some industries in the family that involve the military industry. If you join us with your design, I believe that our cooperation will win a better situation, and the Bain family will not forget your friendship with Mr. Zhuo. โ
There was also a blonde man with black-rimmed glasses who came with Hansen, and Hansen did not take the initiative to introduce the other party's identity to Zhuo Fei, so Zhuo Fei could only guess that this item might also be from Hansen's family. Zhuo Fei's advice to Han Sen did not make the blonde man flinch, but spoke before Han Sen, asked Zhuo Fei for cooperation, and vaguely mentioned the name of the family in his words.
"Boris, Zhuo has already said that he doesn't want us to be involved in this matter, why do you want to do this?" Han Sen was angry and turned his head to stare at his cousin, but the latter completely ignored Han Sen's expression at the moment, and just looked at Zhuo Fei without blinking, he was waiting for Zhuo Fei to respond. In his opinion, Zhuo Fei is just a Chinese, this is Germany, although the Bain family is not a wealthy family in Germany, but it is also very easy to deal with a Chinese who has no roots in Germany.
Glancing at Boris who was looking at him, Xu saw what the other party was thinking, Zhuo Fei grinned, and then picked up the coffee cup in front of him, just took a sip of fragrant coffee, but didn't say a word. Boris, who was ignored by Zhuo Fei, flashed a trace of anger in his eyes, but he quickly forcibly suppressed it, and smiled at Zhuo Fei, "Mr. Zhuo, don't you really consider accepting the kindness of our Bane family?" You know, this is Germany, and maybe something bad will happen. โ
"Are you threatening me?" Zhuo Fei put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Boris with a chuckle. "I'm not very strong, but I have a very bad habit of not bowing to people. I know this is Germany, and I know that your family may have some power, but so what? Could it be that you can kidnap me from this hotel? As far as I know, this hotel seems to have a stake in the Krupp family, could it be that the Bain family is ready to go to war with the Krupp family? โ
"Boris, shut up, if you do this again, I will tell the family 1510 about your performance today." Hansen sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Zhuo Fei had already put his family and the Krupp family on the opposite side with just a few words of understatement, if Boris didn't know how to restrain himself at this time, his family would have a conflict because of Zhuo Fei and the Krupp family, if that happened, it would definitely be his own family that suffered.
Boris, who was reprimanded by Hansen, could only shut up with hatred, but the anger in his eyes was undisguised, but Zhuo Fei ignored the reaction to this thing at all. "Zhuo, since we've talked about everything, then I only have one small request left, can you tell me what you talked about with Mr. Gustav?" Hansen lowered his posture, but his tone was even more pleading.
Zhuo Fei squinted at Hansen for a moment before nodding gently at Huffman, who went into the back room and dragged a long box out from under the bed. Taking out the key that never left him, Huffman opened the long box on the table, reached under the velvet cloth and took out the AK assault rifle and handed it to Hansen. "This is a new rifle I designed, and that's what I talked to Mr. Gustav about that night, and we test-fired it at the manor's range."
After receiving the AK assault rifle from Huffman's hand, Hansen's entire mind was focused on the gun in his hand, after all, he was a person who had been in the arms business, and after just groping for a while, Hansen was already able to unload the magazine, and somewhat understood the usefulness of the small parts on this gun. "I made this gun in the United States, although it has not been rehearsed in actual combat, but I have used it for high-intensity live-fire tests, and the test results are very good, so to speak, the new gun I designed has been finalized and ready to be put into actual production."
What Zhuo Fei handed over to Hansen was an empty gun, no bullets, and no data on the gun was provided, so Hansen and Boris could only take the empty gun and observe it back and forth. "Mr. Zhuo, seeing the real thing, I firmly believe in the cooperation between us. With your design and the strength of our Bane family, we will definitely buy this new gun in the hands of any country in the world. Boris actually didn't know what was good about this new gun, but he saw Zhuo Fei's ability from the penicillin matter, so he was so anxious to woo Zhuo Fei.
"You two, I still mean it just now, this thing is not what you imagined. I can pretend I haven't seen you today, but I hope you don't talk about it again, and I'm not going to work with the Banes. Shaking his head, Zhuo Fei flatly rejected Boris's proposal again. Zhuo Fei used the AK assault rifle to attract Gustav's attention, just to get a chance to meet Hitler through the Krupp family, the Bain family did not have such strength, so Zhuo Fei would not consider the possibility of cooperating with Bain at all.
"Boss, I see that Boris seems to be a little reluctant to give up, do you need me to gather some people, I'm afraid that the one named Boris will be bad for you." After sending away Hansen and the others, Huffman was a little restless, and was asked by Zhuo Fei why, but Huffman didn't want to hide it, but Zhuo Fei didn't take it seriously.
"Hefmann, no, this is Berlin, and this hotel has a stake in the Krupp family. The Bane family has not dared to take the initiative to provoke the courage of the Krupp family, so you don't have to worry so much. Zhuo Fei rejected Huffman's kindness, but at the same time, he also strictly ordered the guards he brought to be careful. Zhuo Fei didn't know that Hansen had explained to his family like this when he went back, and agreed with Hansen, that was Zhuo Fei's family who didn't want to offend Hansen, but if Hansen's family was ignorant and wanted to take it by force, then Zhuo Fei had no choice but to give it a go.
Things didn't seem to be as Hefmann feared, the Krupp family still didn't have any news, and Zhuo Fei was still being trained by the etiquette teacher. In Zhuo Fei's silent and anxious waiting, two more days passed, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but change his plan, and the news finally came from the Krupp family. "Tomorrow at 10 a.m., Monsieur Gustav will meet you at the estate in the suburbs, and the Krupp family will send a car to pick you up."
It was one of Gustav's bodyguards who came to the hotel to deliver the news, and after stuffing the other party with a stack of banknotes, Zhuo Fei finally got an important message from the other party, and the Fรผhrer might go to the suburbs of Berlin tomorrow to relax. Success or failure is here, tomorrow's meeting with Gustav will be a key point, Zhuo Fei pressed his mind to convince Hitler tomorrow.
