Chapter 33: Timing Matters
With the rise of the umbrella company in Menia, many people also have a great curiosity about this company. But not many people know about the real person in charge of this company. The so-called general manager is just an open-faced agent.
As a shareholder and executive director of the company, Bruker has once again become a success idol in the eyes of others. Some things about Brooke's gold panning in the East have also been spread one after another, making Brooke the idol of many young people.
On the other hand, the real principal, Hu Biao, did not accept any interviews with reporters and newspapers at all. In Hu Biao's words, he is a person who is suitable for hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything. This kind of showy thing is still left to Brooke to do.
With the first three fields to be explored, Umbrella has only sold two of them. The remaining piece of oil field was sold at a price according to Hu Biao's meaning. Brooke and Shi Antang have no opinion on this decision.
They only own 10% of the shares, and they do not have the right to speak in the company at all. What's more, these three oil fields were all explored by Hu Biao. Whether to sell or not, naturally, should also be decided by Hu Biao.
The sale of the first two oil fields alone brought a lot of dividends to the two. Getting this kind of benefit like picking up money for nothing, the two of them will not make trouble for Hu Biao in company affairs, but will cooperate more with Hu Biao's actions.
After negotiating the first batch of equipment and equipment ordered, Hu Biao, who had been in the United States for almost four months, immediately decided to leave for China. For Hu Biao, a new round of war in China is imminent, and the situation in the southwest will also undergo great changes.
Hu Biao, who clearly knew when Britain and France would declare war on Germany, had to return to the southwest before the two countries declared war. Moreover, it is necessary to transfer the purchased materials to Shillong as soon as possible before the Japanese army can do it.
Once a full-scale war breaks out in Europe, the Japanese military will also accelerate the pace of its strategy of dominating Asia. At that time, even Menia, which had huge trade interests with Fuso, would become one of the targets of the Japanese army's greed.
The oil that Menia provided to Fuso alone would have made the Japanese feel constrained. At this moment, Nanyang already has a mature oil field resource, and even a complete oil refinery and equipment, how can the Japanese army not be moved?
In short, Hu Biao, as a reborn, sees farther than anyone in this era. It is precisely because of knowing these that Hu Biao felt that time was pressing, and finally made the decision to leave for China, even if many people were reluctant to let him go.
In fact, if he can let go, Hu Biao also hopes to stay here for a while longer. The reason is that shortly after arriving in Menia, Lin Yashi successfully became pregnant. Because of this, Hu Biao stayed for an extra month.
In order to avoid alarming too many people, Hu Biao did not agree to let people see him off. Before leaving, Hu Biao looked at the people who were left behind: "Take good care of Madame, remember to send a telegram in time if there is anything." I'm not here, remember to take good care of her! β
"Young master, don't worry! We will definitely take care of the young lady! β
If there are no accidents, it is basically difficult for Hu Biao to witness the birth of his first child. Lin Yashi is only afraid of this. At the moment, a round trip to the sea alone takes a lot of time, not to mention the unknown risks.
Looking at the righteous sister Hu Yan who had been brought by Yi Yi and the third sister of Huang Erzhuan who had been sacrificed and renamed Huang Shanshan, Hu Biao also said seriously: "Take care of your sister-in-law, when I am away, you have to take care of this family for me!" β
"Please rest assured, eldest brother, we will definitely take care of my sister-in-law!"
For this trip to Menia, the two girls also felt that they had gained knowledge. Although they have not been with Hu Biao for a long time, the two women know that they can have today thanks to Hu Biao's care. Otherwise, how would they have the opportunity to go abroad?
Compared with these people who decided to stay when they came, those who were really reluctant to part with Hu Biao were Hu Biao's personal guard Tian Tiezhu. In order to ensure Lin Yashi's safety and preside over the affairs of Meinia's side, Hu Biao finally left Tian Tiezhu behind.
Looking at Tian Tiezhu, who was extremely reluctant, Hu Biao also said seriously: "Zhuzi, I entrust this family to you, and you must take care of them." If something happens to them, don't blame me for cleaning you up! β
"Please rest assured, I will definitely protect them!"
"On the company's side, please ask Brooke and Mr. Shi more. If you can't make up your mind, send me a telegram. You have been with me for a short time, and you should know that Menia is very important to us.
The guard platoon will return home with me, and the rest of the combat team members will be handed over to you to be responsible. Weapons and ammunition were also placed in the underground warehouse of the villa. If someone really makes trouble with us, you don't need to be polite, give them a little color. β
"Yes!"
In addition to the project of making quick money such as oil, Hu Biao registered another company in the name of Lin Yashi. The company has purchased a patent and is now using it to produce the product.
The reason why I chose this project is also because of a network that Hu Biao had seen in his previous life. After inquiring and understanding, he finally got ahead of others, purchased the patent rights of this new material, and made the first product.
This product is nylon stockings, which are planned to be launched at this year's World Expo according to Hu Biao's arrangement. For this business, Brooke, who has already seen the product, also bluntly said that this is something that is enough to make a woman crazy.
With this business, Hu Biao can also have a steady stream of income. And Lin Yashi can also rely on this company to become a business female elite in the eyes of many people. Even many times, Lin Yashi hopes to be the little woman next to Hu Biao.
Arrange the affairs at home properly, Hu Biao was in the tears of Lin Yashi and others, and made the car that came to pick him up. After the group arrived at the wharf, Hu Biao successfully boarded a giant cargo ship that was carrying a large amount of military supplies.
On this freighter, there are machinery and equipment ordered by Hu Biao, as well as several transport planes and fighter parts that have been produced. Once these parts arrive in Luzon, they are equipped in Luzon and then flown to Shillong at the right time.
According to the purchase agreements reached between Hu Biao and various companies, more equipment will be shipped to Shillong in the future. Among them, there are several transport aircraft, and Hu Biao even asked for modification. Its purpose is simple, it is intended to be used as a paratrooper transport aircraft.
Through this transaction, many Meinia arms companies also know that Hu Biao is indeed very generous. In addition to giving them a good price, they also provided them with a lot of suggestions for improving aircraft and weapons, and these Hu Biao did not charge money.
Even during the negotiations, when Hu Biao pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of their aircraft and equipment, the designers of these companies also felt very embarrassed. Fortunately, in terms of price, Hu Biao did not press it too low, and provided new suggestions for improvement.
In general, the company bosses who have been in contact with Hu Biao feel that Hu Biao has indeed fulfilled his promises, and every cooperation is from a win-win perspective. With these follow-up orders, many companies have no worries about running out of work for a year or two.
Even the Meniah military was happy to see the order sent by Hu Biao. Many newly developed equipment needs to be evaluated accordingly. The emergence of Hu Biao undoubtedly provides them with the best test platform.
As an experimenter, Hu Biao didn't feel anything bad. In fact, if it were to be replaced by future generations, I believe that these new weapons and equipment that had just been developed would not be sold by the Meenias! Now that there is such an opportunity, how could Hu Biao miss it?
In Hu Biao's view, World War II was the best time to cooperate with Menia. At this time, although Menia wanted to gain more voice in the world, they did not have much confidence. Compared with countries such as Britain and France, they are still emerging countries.
It was only at the end of World War II, with the latecomers who prevailed, that the MeΓ±as finally shared the most fruitful fruits of the war, which fostered their ambition to try to dominate the world. Even after the founding of the state, it tried to expand its colonial interests in the East.
The result did not come to pass, and Huaxia, which had just been established, was disgraced. Later, in the campaign to invade Annam, he was also beaten in disarray. The present period is the best time to absorb the fruits of Menia's industry.
When Hu Biao establishes a corresponding industrial system in the southwest, with Hu Biao's follow-up plan, Hu Biao believes that the future southwest will also shock the world. At that time, even if Menia and the others wanted to control it, they would find that the situation was out of control.
When the freighter arrived in Luzon, Hu Biao was again warmly invited by the commander of the local garrison. With the end of this trip to Menia, Hu Biao's position in the hearts of the Meniya military is much more important than before.
Most importantly, the Meniah military has sensed that the current international situation will change dramatically. In their view, Hu Biao, who is ready to make a move in the southwest, may become their best partner.
Take the previous hiring of pilots as an example, Hu Biao's sincerity was very great. In addition to the training of pilots for Hu Biao and the cooperation of submariners, the Meniah military generals stationed in Luzon have also received good returns.
Now that Hu Biao's pockets are bulging than before, these generals naturally need to work closely together. Moreover, a large part of the weapons and equipment that will be delivered in the later period will be transited in Luzon.
After accepting the banquet of these colonial military and political chiefs, Hu Biao did not forget to meet secretly with the local Chinese presidents again. When the freighter sets sail again, another group of personnel will go to the southwest with Hu Biao.
Until the freighter docked in Haiphong City, Liu Shixing and others, who heard the news, also waited for a long time on the side of Haiphong City. What Hu Biao didn't expect was that in the team that greeted him on this trip, he also saw Xu Sandao and others.
When everyone reunites, it is natural to celebrate. Knowing the equipment and equipment purchased by Hu Biao, everyone couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God! With so much weapons and equipment, how much does it cost? β
"Don't worry! This time I went to Menia to make money, and the money to buy equipment was basically earned in Menia. With these weapons and equipment, let's let go of our hands and feet next, and really do a big job! β
Through the development of this time, Shillong has completely changed. With this relatively stable rear, Hu Biao can finally continue to infiltrate his tentacles to the outside. Lay some nails first and prepare ahead for future plans!
