The car drove into the Xu family compound, came to the front of the two-story main building and stopped, Xu Maofu quickly got out of the car, took a few steps forward, hugged the eldest son who rushed over and kissed the two violently, the beard on his face made the son shout, and the father Xu, the mother Xu and the good wife who held the younger son laughed.

Xu Maofu handed his son over to his mother, took out the suitcase from the car and opened it, took out the file inside, handed the suitcase to the servant, and told his parents that he would go out with his eldest brother Zheng Yi to do something, and then get into the car together, go to Zheng Yi's residence on Baode Street, and hold a working meeting with Lai Dingbang and his wife, who were officially transferred to the Quartermaster Department.

In the next three days, Zheng Yi and Xu Maofu visited Lu Lin, Swire Trading and HSBC, and signed a cooperation contract with Wright, the general manager of Yinghua Company, who was about to leave Hong Kong for Shanghai, and then quietly started secret discussions with Zheng Lanting.

With the full support of Zheng Lanting, Zheng Yi finally established the entire arms trade channel.

On the morning of the fourth day, Xu Maofu led Zheng Yi to the Kowloon Wharf, and in the name of Huafeng Trading Company, recruited 12 young people with high skills and knowledge from among more than 300 Hubei provincial dock workers, and their families in the mainland were sent to Hong Kong to settle down at the expense of Huafeng Company, and six of them will receive training from Zheng Yi and Xu's father for half a year, and then return to the dock workers to secretly form their own organizations.

The renovation of Huafeng Company is progressing quickly.

At the suggestion of the Guangdong boss of the construction company, Zheng Yi decisively took out 6,800 pounds to buy the dilapidated small freight yard next door, covering an area of 1,200 square meters, and handed it over to the construction company to re-plan and design, and then demolished it all to build a three-storey Western-style office building and a three-storey transit warehouse.

The construction period of the new office building and transit warehouse is half a year, and the total cost is as high as 120,000 pounds, Zheng Yi only needs to pay 30% of the construction team when they enter the site, and the balance can be paid after the completion and acceptance, which greatly alleviates the financial pressure he is currently facing, and Zheng Yi does not need to borrow from his father or HSBC.

Under the influence of Zheng Yi, Lai Dingbang and his wife repeatedly asked to move to the company, but Zheng Yi vetoed them.

Zheng Yi not only vetoed the request of Lai Dingbang and his wife, but also quietly bought a two-story small western-style building with a small garden in the south of the Xu family's compound in Lai Dingbang's name.

The day after Zheng Lanting's fiftieth birthday, Zheng Yi and Xu Maofu delivered the deed and a Rover van to Lai Dingbang.

After a short period of shock, Lai Dingbang suddenly hugged Zheng Yi and Xu Maofu and cried loudly, Mrs. Lai, who was pregnant with Liujia, was moved to tears, holding Zheng Yi's hand and choking.

……

After the rain, the sky is sunny and sunny.

Hong Kong Island, which is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, is getting hot again after a short period of cooling.

At 9 a.m., more than a dozen cars of all kinds slowly drove out of the gate of the Taikoo Shipyard, bypassed the Battery Hill area where construction was being carried out, and headed south to the Royal Police Range at the foot of Jardine's Mountain, and finally stopped at the wide shooting range that had just been cleared of weeds.

Hong Kong Justice Sir Rochester, Civil Affairs Officer Sir Cheng Lanting and two shareholders of HSBC got out of the car and got together very happily to talk.

More than a dozen technicians in two wagons and two gunsmiths from the Royal Navy were already carrying wooden crates to the firing positions.

More than a dozen Hong Kong Chinese police officers wearing pean-green police uniforms and hats began to insert dozens of humanoid targets at distances of 30, 50 and 100 meters in preparation for the inspection and finalization of two weapons produced by Swire Shipyard's Precision Machinery Manufacturing Company.

A group of well-known shareholders slowly came to the rear of the firing position, and Justice Rochester, who admired Zheng Yi very much, made a joke with everyone, beckoning Mitchell, the general manager of the precision machinery manufacturing company, to his side: "Has the patent application work begun?" ”

Mitchell, who was bald at the age of forty, was very strong, and the British Royal Navy engineer who had fought in World War I was tall and full of flesh, but in front of a group of shareholders, he bent his strong waist and grinned like a huge bulldog when he saw his master:

"The patent application is already on its way to London, and within a month at the latest, we will be able to obtain the patents we deserve for the M1928 automatic rifle and twelve types of steel helmets. But the patent for the Colt's 1911 pistol could not be filed, and most of the technology had already been made public, and the London Patent Office would not approve it. ”

Rochester, who looked like a typical Jew, nodded slightly: "Good job to be able to patent the other two products, dear Mitchell." ”

Mitchell smiled happily: "Please rest assured, the M1928 automatic rifle has been tested for three long live fire tests, and our designer, Mr. Paul Zheng, has optimized the bolt parts again and extended the barrel length by 1.5 inches, so that the improved automatic rifle has a greater range and the best accuracy." ”

"The retractable butt made of steel bars is a unique and genius design in the world today, which not only greatly reduces the production cost, but also reduces the length of the gun to a certain extent, and is very portable, surpassing the latest improvement of the German Bergman MP28 automatic rifle in all aspects."

"Now even our Royal Navy has placed an order for two hundred automatic rifles from me, and once approved by the Navy's Ordnance Department, our M1928 automatic rifle will receive a large number of orders from the Royal Army."

Zheng Lanting and the representative of HSBC on the side were all smiles, and they were deeply satisfied that the newly established precision machinery manufacturing company under the shipyard had produced results so quickly.

Rochester was also very happy, glanced at Zheng Yi, who was instructing the technicians to place the test-firing weapons in front of him, and turned to Mitchell with a proud face again:

"Are you satisfied with Paul's work?"

Mitchell immediately put away his smile: "Paul is definitely a genius in the field of mechanics!" What's even more remarkable is that he is brilliant but very humble, and he has a lot of respect for us as managers, and we all like him. ”

"The 160 Chinese technicians personally selected by Paul are also excellent, and it only took half a month to complete the installation and commissioning of all the machinery and equipment, and scientifically optimize the production process procedures of the two weapons, once they pass the final inspection of the gentlemen, the five workshops can go all out for mass production."

"According to the design requirements, our company is capable of producing at least three thousand M1928 automatic rifles and five thousand M1928 nine-mm military pistols per month. The production of steel helmets can only be delivered next month because Armstrong, which provides the molds, so they can only be prepared for mass production and patiently wait for the arrival of molds and raw materials. ”

"Well done, Mitchell, I'm very happy with your job."

Rochester patted Mitchell's strong arm affectionately, walked with the shareholders to the shooting table in front of him, and happily picked up a blue-polished, delicately simple wooden automatic rifle and skillfully operated it.
