At the Kowloon Ferry Pier in Hong Kong, Zheng Yi is saying goodbye to Xu Maofu and Cao Mancheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cao Mancheng listened to Zheng Yi's words, looked at the ever-changing dock, nodded immediately, and said: "Understand, I must bring the words, there is a lot of things here, you really can't do without it." ”

"In addition, you also need to handle the tens of thousands of pairs of British military shoes and cloth for making military uniforms sent to the base areas, and if the central government agrees to Shangguan's application to establish a rubber products factory, you also have to buy machinery and equipment for them.

"No one else knows these things, but I know all about them."

After speaking, Cao Mancheng sighed with emotion, and until now, he still feels sad about Zheng Yi's punishment.

Zheng Yi smiled, patted Cao Mancheng's shoulder, and whispered to Xu Maofu: "This batch of weapons will be handed over to my brother-in-law immediately after being sent to Huhai, and let him transfer the payment to the account of the precision machinery company, and by the way, tell him that if he has spare money, he can invest in the real estate in the concession, and in less than a year, the house in the concession will definitely rise sharply, or even double." ”

Xu Maofu suddenly came to his senses: "In this case, how about I go to Wuhan to borrow some money from your eldest brother and buy a few houses in the concession to make a fortune?" ”

"Yes, now that my eldest brother is much richer than me, if you ask him to borrow it, he will definitely give it to you. Alright, Captain MacDonald, get on board. Zheng Yi said with a smile.

Xu Maofu and Cao Mancheng said goodbye to Zheng Yi in unison, walked down the dock side by side, boarded the patrol boat that had already been warmed up, and slowly sailed away from the dock under Zheng Yi's eyes.

……

……

Zheng Yi, accompanied by two confidant bodyguards, returned to the office of the precision machinery manufacturing company above the dock, read several production reports and raw material procurement plans, took out a pen to give instructions, and asked the bodyguard to send it to the procurement department downstairs, and then picked up the coffee cup, walked to the wide window, and thought silently.

Due to the purchase of five decommissioned transport ships of the British Army in one go, coupled with the purchase of a large number of materials for the base area, Zheng Yi's working capital was basically exhausted, and the follow-up funds for the newly built shipping building, storage and transportation warehouse, and transit yard were also lost.

The Zheng family's nearly 10 million funds, most of which are fixed assets, Zheng Lanting's working capital in the hands of the company after the restructuring of the enterprise and the increase in shareholdings, there is not much left, if it is not for the timely acceptance of the Lin family in Fujian Province and the Shangguan family in Manila large funds into the shares, the Zheng family may also have to borrow from the bank to maintain the operation, not to mention the shipping company building and large storage and transportation warehouse that Zheng Yi is responsible for.

In the face of the current difficult situation, Zheng Yi regretted that his expansion steps were too big, but when he thought that the world economic crisis was coming, and that the United Kingdom and the United States had a lot of advantages to take advantage of, Zheng Yi couldn't hold back his passion and desire.

At present, the top priority in front of Zheng Yi is that he must earn no less than one million oceans in profits within three months, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the operation of Huafeng Company and the shipping company.

This is a very difficult task and an extremely heavy pressure, and at the moment it seems that the only way to solve it is the arms trade.

Zheng Yi sent Xu Maofu back to the mainland, not to sell the patrol speedboat, but to continue the arms trade with the Gui family.

Although the two arms deals a month ago caused an uproar in all walks of life in the country and aroused the anger of Commander-in-Chief Chiang and the Nanjing government, Zheng Yi was not at all worried that he would be found out.

The Gui department was not frightened by this at all, and still contacted Xu Maofu, and proposed to purchase 200 81-millimeter mortars, 5,000 M1928 submachine guns, and a large number of ammunition again.

According to Zheng Yi's meaning, the arms purchased by the Gui family in the future will be transferred through Li Jishen and Huang Shaohong, one of the four giants of the Gui family, if feasible, Zheng Yi only needs to transport the arms to Guangzhou or the Beihai port closest to Gui Province, even if Commander-in-Chief Chiang knows, he will not be able to do anything.

Zheng Yi did not tell anyone about another confidential matter, he had entrusted his eldest brother-in-law Feng Jingzhai to get in touch with Yu Feipeng, the quartermaster minister of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, and provide Yu Feipeng with ten M1928 submachine guns, ten nine-millimeter military pistols imitated from Colt M1911, and fifty new steel helmets, as well as price lists of light and heavy weapons made in Germany, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and Belgium.

Zheng Yi even wanted to get through the relationship with the local warlords in Fujian Province, considering that after his long-term infiltration of Fujian Province, Zheng Yi could only temporarily let go of this tempting idea.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The ringing of the phone interrupted Zheng Yi's contemplation, he returned to his desk, picked up the microphone of the antique telephone, and immediately replied after listening to his father's inquiry:

"I have just read the report, starting this month, the monthly production of the two weapons can be increased to 5,000 units, if you want to increase the output exponentially, you must buy a batch of new machines, and you must recruit and train 200 technicians, otherwise it will be difficult to do it."

Zheng Lanting's unhurried voice came from the microphone: "Your Excellency the Governor told me that there is an arsenal in Birmingham that is transferring machinery and equipment, and asked me if it is possible to authorize the British Royal Arsenal to produce our M1928 submachine guns...... It's a complicated matter, you come home at noon, and you can't tell me on the phone. ”

"Alright, I'll be back at noon."

Zheng Yi put down the phone, thought about it for a moment and ordered the bodyguard to call the technical director and the production manager.

……

……

Near noon, Zheng Yi arrived at Zheng's Mansion by car, entered the back room to greet the eldest wife, the second aunt and the sick third aunt, and went directly to his father's study to drink tea and wait.

Zheng Lanting quickly returned home from the Governor's Palace, and immediately motioned for Zheng Yi, who came forward, to sit down, took the fragrant tea offered by his subordinates, waved his hand, and took out a beautiful-looking English letter and handed it to Zheng Yi: "You take a look at it first." ”

Zheng Yi was taken aback after reading the royal mark on the envelope: "Is it really a letter from the British royal family?" ”

Zheng Lanting nodded solemnly, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is handed over by His Excellency the Governor, it seems that it is not possible to give up some benefits." ”

Zheng Yi took out the letter and hurriedly read it, gently put it on the table in front of his father, groaned slightly, and expressed his opinion: "It seems that our M1928 submachine gun has attracted the attention of the British army. ”

"That's right, the British Army liked this submachine gun very much, and the Far Eastern Fleet also called me and ordered another three thousand units to equip the Indian colonial army."

After Zheng Lanting finished speaking, he smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Yi carefully, and stopped talking.

Zheng Yi sighed: "Your knight was canonized by the British royal family, it is normal to pay a small price, you can take the idea, I have no opinion." ”

"However, the two weapon designs that are being sent to the British Patent Office can no longer be sent, and if the Royal Arsenal wants to need them, I can sell them the patent rights, not almost for nothing like the M1928 submachine gun."

Zheng Lanting laughed: "I knew you would agree, you can see farther than your eldest brother and your fourth aunt, I am very pleased with this...... Alas! If you break away from the Communist Party and engage in business and politics honestly, maybe our old Zheng family will have a baron! ”

Zheng Yi immediately put away his smile: "Father, my faith will never change!" Don't say that again, okay? ”
