Zheng Yi's conditions are too important, Zhou Junruo and Yang Jicheng, who are not at a high level, can be the master, and after the excited two people inquired in detail, they immediately said that they would end the previous topic, and then they had to rush to the Huhai Executive Department of the Kuomintang on Huanlong Road, and report to Nanjing for instructions through the special communication facilities there. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before leaving, Zhou Junruo took the hand of Zheng Yi, who went out to see him off, and whispered a top-secret message:

President Chiang and the two chief and deputy chiefs of the Ordnance Industry Department have already made a decision to set up a military technical inspection group on 10 February after the Spring Festival to go to Hong Kong for a week-long visit and trade negotiation of the precision machinery manufacturing company owned by the Zheng family, and Yu Feihong, minister of munitions, will serve as the head of the delegation.

After receiving Zhou Junruo's private briefing, Zheng Yi was more sure that the reason why he took out the "Mauser M1924 rifle" that the Kuomintang government and President Jiang had been asking for two years was not nonsense and nonsense, but because he saw the strong demand of President Jiang and the Nanjing government, and then multiplied his negotiation cards.

With Zheng Yi's knowledge level, as well as the technical ability and talent reserve of the precision machinery manufacturing company under his command, the Mauser M1924 rifle can be copied on a large scale at any time, not to mention, the Czech ZB26 light machine gun with higher technical content and stricter process requirements has now been copied in batches by Zheng Yi's precision machinery manufacturing company.

Zheng Yi's ultimate goal is to obtain the right to trade arms licensed by the Nanjing government by providing Mauser M1924 rifles and M1929 submachine guns free of charge, and to earn huge profits while also obtaining a safer working environment and life security, further strengthening the ability to obtain intelligence, and speeding up the penetration into the top echelons of the KMT.

Seeing off Zhou Junruo and his entourage, Zheng Yi and Xu Maofu walked side by side on the garden path in front of the villa, Xu Maofu looked around, and then asked Zheng Yi curiously: "What did Brother Zhou Shi mutter to you before getting in the car?" ”

Zheng Yi stopped, and also looked around at the wide garden with withered plants and tall gray-yellow villas, and then replied: "Brother Zhou Shi asked me if I would stay here in the future, and I could only tell him to take a look at the situation first, and maybe he would move to a more convenient place to live." ”

"But now it seems that maybe it is better to stay in this place, this place is spacious enough, there is no problem in building two small villas and parking a dozen cars, the road in front of the door is wide and big enough, although it is far away from the bustling and lively Nanjing Road and Xiafei Road and other business districts, but it is convenient to enter and exit, and it is better to be comfortable and quiet."

"I'm afraid I'll have to go back to Huhai to live here for a month or two after the Spring Festival, and it is estimated that I will have to work part-time at my eldest sister's Oriental News Agency."

"Actually, I think it's a pretty good place...... Anyway, Brother Zhou Shi, they already know this place, and there is no point in changing it, it is better to continue to stay here, it is more convenient for everyone. ”

"I think it's okay to move the trading company here, if there are not enough rooms, just like you just said, build two more small western-style buildings, and when you're done, replace the front wall with a cast iron railing, and strengthen the fence on the left back side and the backyard, and you can get a large courtyard that is both safe and quiet." Xu Maofu put forward his own suggestions.

Zheng Yi thought for a while: "As the saying goes, the three holes of the cunning rabbit!" The hidden courtyard of Lao Ximen in the middle of noisy must also be taken down as an important base for our long-term contact with the central liaison...... After the Spring Festival, more than a dozen brothers from Hong Kong were sent to live in Hong Kong, and then asked my brother-in-law for a few trustworthy tents. ”

Xu Maofu immediately agreed with Zheng Yi's decision, and after entering the living room, he asked in a low voice: "You will send the design drawings of the M1929 submachine gun and Mauser rifle to the Kuomintang at once, so you don't have to worry about them getting an inch after inspecting the arsenal in Hong Kong, and then ask you for the design drawings and production technology of Czech machine guns and mortars?" ”

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "How can you forget that the Huhai Arsenal in Gaochang Temple and the Jinling Arsenal, which has recently expanded rapidly, already have the ability to imitate Czech rifles and French mortars, and there is no longer a need for us to provide the design drawings and manufacturing technology of these two weapons." ”

"But as far as I know, these two arsenals need to import steel from Germany or Britain and the United States to produce, this is a rare opportunity for us, the British have opened steel mills and alloy material factories in India for nearly 100 years, and the sales prices of various steel materials are much lower than those of the Yankees and Germans, as long as we get through the way of Uncle Yu and the Ordnance Industry Department, we can make huge profits from it."

Xu Maofu smiled: "I really don't know about this, I only know that the Hanyang Arsenal controlled by the Gui family can not only manufacture artillery, but also imitate the Makqin heavy machine gun, and it is estimated that the Fengtian Arsenal in the Northeast is the largest and the highest level, and Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal is not comparable." ”

Zheng Yi nodded slightly, in his opinion, at most, it only takes two more years of hard work, and Hong Kong's precision machinery manufacturing company will surpass all domestic arsenals except the Fengtian Arsenal in the field of light weapons manufacturing.

……

……

After a simple lunch, Zheng Yi and Xu Maofu packed up and went out together, who knew that before the car was started, Feng Jingzhai's "silver elf" customized from the UK slowly arrived, followed by two Ford cars full of bodyguards, one after the other entered the big iron gate that Uncle Tao hurriedly opened, and came to Zheng Yi, who had just gotten out of the car, and stopped.

Zheng Yi, who had just put on a windbreaker, took off his top hat, glanced at Feng Jingzhai who got off the car from the other side, and asked his eldest brother Zheng Heng, who opened the car door, "Hey, how did you have the kung fu to come to me?" ”

Zheng Heng, who still had a faint smell of alcohol, said with a smile: "The things in our hands are almost done, the properties under the plate have basically been won, and the remaining 20 properties have also signed contracts, and they need to be received one by one after the Spring Festival. ”

Zheng Yi said hello to Feng Jingzhai and entered the living room of the villa again, the guests and the host sat down separately, and Xu Maofu and Aunt Tao immediately made tea.

Feng Jingzhai, who took off his windbreaker, suddenly asked, "I heard that Nanjing sent someone to look for you, how was the talk?" ”

Zheng Yi briefly reported the situation of the meeting, and finally said helplessly: "It is estimated that Nanjing will give a letter tomorrow, if there is nothing wrong with you, I want to return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, otherwise I will not be able to catch up with the New Year." ”

"Second brother, your sister-in-law will arrive tonight, and I will go back to Hong Kong with you the day after tomorrow...... It is estimated that the third and fourth brothers have returned to Hong Kong from the UK, and this time they are together, and our family has not been together for many years. Zheng Hengle said hehehe.

Feng Jingzhai was quite regretful: "If it weren't for my son's drag, I would also like to go to Hong Kong with your eldest sister for the New Year, and visit your arsenal and shipping company by the way." ”

Zheng Yi suddenly remembered the two speedboat orders: "Brother-in-law, when will the two fast patrol boats that you and White took over be delivered to Song Ziwen's tax police regiment?" ”

Feng Jingzhai replied easily: "Soon, White bought two patrol boats that are about to be decommissioned in the Indian shipyard, and after more than a month of transformation, they are almost completed, and it is estimated that they will be sent to Wusong Port after the Spring Festival...... How? Have you changed your mind and are ready to continue shipbuilding? ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "Mr. White approached me for the matter of these two ships before, and also gave me the design drawings of five large boxes of fast patrol boats, plus a large number of technical information and personnel we left from the Taikoo Shipyard, which can fully undertake the manufacturing business of offshore patrol speedboats and inland river patrol speedboats below 500 tons." ”

"If it weren't for the five large military transport ships that I bought from the Royal Navy and needed to be rebuilt, I would have taken the business in the first place, and in any case I am more familiar with the shipbuilding business than the guys at White and Swire in Hong Kong, and I have been able to buy the most advanced matching engines from two of the most famous marine engine companies in Germany and Sweden through Lu Lin."

"But it doesn't matter, after two months, when the dock is vacated, I will urge several designers and technicians in the shipyard to build two 300-ton fast cargo ships for short-distance freight transportation from Hong Kong to Fuzhou and other places, and if necessary, they can be changed to military patrol speedboats or military transport ships at any time."

Feng Jingzhai hurriedly persuaded: "Second brother, don't be in a hurry to build it first, wait for the news from my side, let me talk to the old Song family and the Kong family first, maybe I can get a few orders." ”

Zheng Heng thought for a while and asked, "What is the price of second-hand thousand-ton cargo ships in Hong Kong?" ”

Zheng Yi replied: "There are still a lot of second-hand cargo ships in Hong Kong, and the transfer price depends on the age and condition of the ship, and when you arrive in Hong Kong, I will take you to see, India and the United Kingdom have eliminated more thousand-ton cargo ships, if someone in the mainland wants to buy, this business can be done, and the profits are not under the arms." ”

Zheng Heng nodded, he wanted to ask about the arms trade again, but he felt that there was still a lot of time to talk slowly with Zheng Yi, so he didn't ask again.

Feng Jingzhai took this opportunity to inform Zheng Yi of the stagnant pharmaceutical business, and was quite dissatisfied with the strength of Lu Lin's company, and felt a headache when the Kong family wanted to intervene, so he humbly asked Zheng Yi what solution he had?

Zheng Yi thought about it for a long time and felt that it was very tricky.

Although the Zheng family obtained the domestic agency rights of a number of drugs, including sulfonamides, no one could prevent the Lu Lin Company, which had a German military advisory group as a lobbyist and was increasingly favored by President Jiang and the Nanjing government, from attacking cities and plundering land in China.

"Unite Xiao Du and them, big cities like Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Beiping can't compete with Lu Lin Company, and the pharmaceutical market at the county level can still be developed, no matter how strong Lu Lin Company is, it can't open pharmacies in every county."

"In addition, after I go back, I will discuss it with my father to see if I can establish contact with several major families in Nanyang and strive to get back the right to operate several medicines such as cinchona, safflower oil, and carminative oil."

"There is another way to see if it can be done, that is, the major warlords in the chaotic Central Plains, the war will definitely continue in the next two years, affecting half of China, and if there is a way, this line can make huge profits."

Feng Jingzhai nodded frequently, savoring Zheng Yi's words.

Zheng Heng thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, in addition to supplying the Gui army, the remaining one-third of the pharmacy over there is quietly sold to the two customers you designated a year ago, I have been very worried, you see, can you ......"

Zheng Yi waved his hand: "I understand, in the future, you don't have to deal with those two customers, how can you refuse to find an excuse yourself, no matter who plays my brand to find you, you can ignore it, unless I greet you privately." ”

Zheng Heng finally showed a relieved smile: "That's good, that's good, haha......"
