43. Deal Negotiations! (Big Chapter!) )
In Chen Yifu's view, Chen Xiu is really undecided. Think of it, it's a play. I killed people and absconded before, or maybe I was forced, although it was the Japanese who killed them! But he still killed and absconded! After returning to China, he first arranged for him to be a military doctor, but as a result, he made a clamoring to be a battalion commander, got him a battalion commander, and now said that he would develop the military industry.
No matter how you look at it, Chen Xiu is a teenager, he has no perseverance and perseverance, and he is still young after all.
If Chen Xiu knew Chen Yifu's thoughts, he would definitely shout that he was wronged! He is a future guest, and when he comes to this era, he sees the country's broken mountains and rivers, the suffering people, and the vicious invaders, so he naturally has a lot of ideas.
Originally, he thought that all he could do was to be a doctor and try his best to treat as many soldiers as possible, so that they could continue to fight for the country!
But later, he found out that he actually brought a pharmacy! And the medicine in it is almost unlimited! That's what made him think otherwise! This pharmacy, for the country, is a treasure! Of course, he couldn't have made it public that he had such a thing, and he didn't want people to slice and study! Therefore, he wants to develop this treasure and contribute to the country and the people! The most direct way to contribute is naturally to donate medicines, and if it is a little more laborious, exchange medicines for equipment and equip the army. But these two are both palliatives rather than root causes!
That's why he had the idea of wanting to develop the military industry! Without him, only because of the word backward!
Because of backwardness, China's industry is weak! Because of backwardness, the Chinese army is under-equipped! Because of backwardness, the Japanese army restrained itself everywhere in heavy firepower! Because of backwardness, China is being despised by all countries at this time! Until now, it was a semi-colonial country! The three eastern provinces have fallen! North China has fallen! Battle of Songhu! Tens of millions of people wept!
Chen Xiu, how can you turn a blind eye!
He knew that the pharmacy in his hand was a bug! It is to give him a foothold in this era! Not only that, but with such an advantage, he naturally wants to use this to contribute to the country! If it weren't for the sake of strengthening the country and the army, Chen Xiu himself wouldn't be able to go.
"Alright, you can go up by yourself when you're done eating." Chen Yifu opened his mouth and looked at Chen Xiu and Tang Ning.
"Yes, Dad." Chen Xiu really wanted to roll his eyes, who knows what Lao Chen thought, saying that he was a deserter!
Tang Ning was helpless, and always felt that there was something strange between Chen Yifu and Chen Xiu. But as a daughter-in-law, she naturally can't say anything.
……
In the room, Chen Xiu was making a list.
If you want to develop the military industry, it is not an easy thing, although the location is set, but manpower, machines, are all problems, the most important thing, there is technology. Iron mines, coal mines, steelmaking, ironmaking, everything, it's hard!
The most straightforward way is to buy a steel mill.
Chen Xiu pondered, his fingers tapped on the table, he has no money now, but he has medicine! With medicine, money is not a problem! As for the steel mills, there are still some at this time, however, there may not be suitable ones.
Tang Ning sat on the side, looking at Chen Xiu's list, for example, what kind of smelting furnace or something, he knew that Chen Xiu was thinking about the development of the military industry, "If you really want to develop the military industry, everything starts from scratch, it is naturally very difficult, think slowly, don't worry." ”
Chen Xiu nodded, "Ah Ning, do you know?" Now, which country in the world produces the most steel? ”
"The United States, it should be the United States!" Tang Ning thought for a while and replied, in her opinion, the United States is really strong and rich.
Chen Xiu nodded, this is, it is indeed the United States. In this era, in terms of steel production, the United States topped the list with an annual output of 40 or 50 million or even higher, followed by Germany with almost 20 million, followed by the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, and as for Japan, the annual output of several million tons at this time was only a few million tons, although it was very small compared with Britain and the United States, but compared with China's annual output of tens of thousands of tons of steel, it was already far ahead.
He buys machines and prefers to buy Germany for many reasons, one is that Germany is also vigorously developing the military industry, although they have not yet begun to invade, but they are already working very hard to prepare; Second, the current relationship between Germany and China is quite good, and even the Nationalist Government has always asked German military advisers to help train the army; Third, it is because of the performance of German machines, the Germans are synonymous with rigor in the world, and German machines are very reliable; Fourth, they have cooperated with Leo a few times, and they have cooperated very happily, and I believe that it will be easier to deal with them again.
"It's true that the United States is the United States, but Germany is not bad, not to mention that we have a better relationship with the Germans, so I am more inclined to buy German machines."
Tang Ning nodded, indicating understanding.
"Huh." After saying this, Chen Xiu sighed again and continued to write the list, if you really want to develop the military industry, steelmaking is a must. Moreover, it would be better to have a rifle production line!
There is this kind of production line, and it is best to have industrial machine tools, such as lathes, planers, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, boring machines, CNC machine tools, etc., forget it, CNC machine tools must not be counted on.
Shaking his head, Chen Xiu wrote the word talent on the paper again! The engineers at this time were not as fine as those in later generations, they were basically generalists, that is, great talents! Then, Chen Xiu wrote down the word Jew again! Although the European war has not yet started, but Hitler has already come to power, then the situation of the Jews is not good!
However, what Chen Xiu didn't know was that some Jews had already arrived in Shanghai at this time! In Germany, the Jews were persecuted and wanted to flee, but many countries did not want to accept these refugees, so only He Fengshan, the consul general in Vienna at the time, withstood the pressure and issued many passports to the Jews. So, at this time, go to Hongkou, Shanghai, to find Jews, and perhaps, you can also find many technical talents!
After thinking about the list for about an hour, Chen Xiu checked it again, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah Ning, you sit down for a while, I'll go find my father." ”
"I'll be with you." Tang Ning opened her mouth, she came back to visit Chen Xiu.
"It's fine." Chen Xiu smiled and bent his eyes, stood up, and walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Chen Xiu saw Chen Yifu in new clothes, followed by Man Bo and Shanzi.
"Dad, are you going out?"
"Nonsense, didn't you say you wanted to buy a machine?" Chen Yifu said coldly.
"Oh, Daddy, you wait!" Chen Xiu hurriedly handed the list he had made to Chen Yifu, "You take this list with you!" ”
Chen Yifu frowned, took it, looked at the content above, his brows stretched a little, it seemed that Chen Xiu was not a layman, he was useless, until he saw the words Jewish technician at the end, Chen Yifu was surprised. However, he didn't say anything, but nodded, "Do you want to go with me?" ”
"Huh?"
"Today I'm going to see Leo."
Chen Xiu nodded, "Okay, I'll be with you." ”
So, Chen Xiu went back to the room, Tang Ning also went back, Chen Xiu wanted to go out, as his wife, Tang Ning naturally had to prepare clothes for him. Chen Xiu has a wound on his shoulder, so he also needs to pay attention to it on weekdays.
"Wear this outfit, right?" Tang Ning took out a suit from the wardrobe and asked.
Chen Xiu shook his head, "Take a long coat!" ”
"Huh?" Tang Ning was helpless, so he had to take a black silk gown, and then put it on for Chen Xiu, "You are really, an old pedant." ”
"Hahaha!" Chen Xiu smiled, "Okay, you can rest at home for a while today, and when I come back, we will go to the position together." ”
"No, you're still hurt!" Tang Ning glared at Chen Xiu, "If you want to go to the battlefield now, it's for nothing!" It's to die! And dragging your feet, you know? ”
Chen Xiu was speechless, "Okay." I went out with my dad first. ”
"Well, go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll go back to the position after lunch today. Tang Ning said softly, full of smiles.
Chen Xiu is still quite helpless, it is still not very comfortable to be told by his wife to fight the five scum, but Tang Ning is also worried about him, he has lived for decades longer than others, and he will not worry about a little girl, that's right, Tang Ning is a little girl in his opinion.
Walking out of the door, Chen Yifu nodded, and then Chen Xiu followed, followed by Man Bo, Shanzi.
They weren't far from Leo's foreign business.
Originally, everyone was in the public concession area, so naturally it would not be very far.
Chen Yifu is still a relatively good presence in this leased area.
"Ou! You're here! Leo was still very surprised to see the two, "Please come in!" ”
"Mr. Leo!" Chen Xiu smiled and said hello.
"Sit!" Leo invited the two to sit down, and then asked them to prepare coffee.
After greeting each other, Leo got straight to the point, "Is there a need for equipment again?" I have already told the country about the next batch of equipment, but it has not yet arrived so soon, at least it will take another half a month! ”
Mr. Leo laughed. Chen Yifu smiled, as a businessman, or a Chinese businessman living in the public concession, Chen Yifu is still proficient in several national languages, at least, English and Japanese are not difficult for him, and he knows some German.
"Mr. Leo, I can't hide it." Chen Xiu spoke, "This time, I want to purchase a batch of machines from you. ”
"Machines?"
Chen Xiu nodded, "That's right." ”
Leo touched his chin and looked at the two, if he didn't know that the two did have some military background, Leo would have suspected that the two might be spies, "What machine?" ”
"Steelmaking!"
"Steelmaking?"
"Yes! I'm going to open a steel mill to support the country's industry! Chen Xiu continued, "Mr. Leo, you have also seen the current situation of our country, the country is backward and is being invaded. As a Chinese, I have too many things I want to do for the country, and when I come to you to buy equipment, it is a means to cure the symptoms but not the root cause. ”
Leo nodded, "Yes, a country should have its own industry." ”
"So, I want to develop an industrial powerhouse!" Chen Xiuzheng said, "A country without industry will be bullied!" I don't want to see my motherland bullied again! ”
"Dear Chen, I understand your mentality very well, after the First World War, we Germany were also suppressed very badly!" Leo sighed, "It's just that these machines, even if we are in Germany, are in great demand right now. ”
"I know, so I'll definitely give a good price! Or exchange it with the previous medicine! Chen Xiu smiled, he knew that Leo would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of medicine, and now it was more than a month since their first transaction, and more than a month was enough for Leo to receive feedback from China.
"Oh!" Leo exclaimed, "Well, Chen, I really can't refuse your request!" ”
"Hahaha! Happy cooperation, Mr. Leo! Chen Xiu smiled, "However, I don't just want machines!" ”
"Oh?"
"I want a rifle production line in the next place!"
"What?!" Leo stood up in surprise, "This can't be! Even in your country, we in Germany have not sold a rifle production line! ”
At this time, most of the equipment of their German army was Mauser 98K, so most of their rifle production lines were also this. This is the standard equipment of their German army. It is impossible to sell such a production line.
"Mr. Leo, I suppose that everything can be bought and sold as long as there is the right price, isn't it?" Chen Yifu on the side opened his mouth and said with a smile.
Leo was silent, to be honest, they are also very nervous about all kinds of equipment in China now, but if there is only one production line, the problem is not big, and the benefits of the medicines in Chen Xiu's hands are huge, even if he can't help but be moved! Not to mention the rest of the country!
You must know that after that batch of drugs was shipped back to China, after explaining the effect and then testing, it was robbed like crazy! Their company has already made a lot of money!
If it is still traded in medicines, I am afraid that people in China will agree, because now, he also wants to agree!
"I need to ask the top management of our company about this!" Leo spread his hands.
Chen Yifu and Chen Xiu nodded, which means that Leo will consider it. Moreover, the two believe that no one will refuse Chen Xiu's pharmaceutical cooperation.
"However, I think even if our company's top management agrees, there are a few things to ask for in the future." Leo continued.
"Please."
"If we agree to this transaction, in the future, in addition to the sales in China, the agency rights in Europe and the United States will be handed over to us!" Leo opened his mouth, this condition is actually a request given to him by the senior management of their company a few days ago, saying that it is necessary for the Chinese to agree.
Chen Xiu smiled, "The agency of Europe and the United States is impossible. ”
"Chen, you know, cooperation requires sincerity! What's more, give me the agency, and you won't make less money! Leo heard Chen Xiu's refusal and said helplessly.
"Mr. Leo, on my side, I will give you the agency in Europe at most!" Chen Xiu continued, "Your company is in the United States, so it shouldn't have that much energy. In the future, if the agency rights of Europe and the United States are given to you, then the value of a rifle production line is too low. ”
Leo fell silent, his fingers tapping on the table, "You mean, if we want agency rights in Europe and the United States, then you don't just have one production line?" ”
"Not bad." Chen Xiu nodded, asking for the price all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back, the same reason, doing business, that's it. And he didn't know that Chen Yifu, who was sitting on the side, looked at Chen Xiu's asking price, but he was satisfied, and felt that his son was not stupid. If Chen Xiu inherits the family business, their family business will have to multiply several times by then.
"Well, we must want the agency of Europe and the United States." Leo spoke, "Chen, you can talk about the specific conditions, and then I will go and discuss with the senior management of our company, how about it?" ”
Chen Xiu smiled, "If it is the agency of Europe and the United States, then I want two rifle production lines, a machine gun production line, and their own supporting bullet production lines, and 2 lathes!" and, three sets of free equipment for the steel plant with an annual output of 300,000 tons. ”
Leo almost fell to the ground, "Chen, you're asking too much for this!" ”
"No, no, no! Mr. Leo, you have to understand the value! Chen Xiu thought for a moment and said, "The medicine in our hands is not just one. Anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic drugs, anesthetics, these are urgently needed on the battlefield, and you can sell them to the army! I also have daily medicines, such as cold medicines, fever reducers, and bruises, as well as drugs for various men's and gynecological diseases, and drugs for various cancers! ”
Cancer! Leo was flustered, and as a businessman, he hadn't heard of cancer! It's just that human beings now know very little about the field of cancer! But once a person is diagnosed with cancer, it is almost a terminal illness!
And Chen Xiu also smiled, in the last transaction, there were no cancer-related drugs, and they were accumulated by Chen Yifu. This drug, in Chen Yifu's opinion, is not an exaggeration, so Chen Yifu did not let it shoot so quickly. This is the secret of father and son. Moreover, regarding the patents of these drugs, Chen Yifu also found someone to register in Europe and the United States before trading with Leo. These are all things that must be done, and they must not be sloppy.
"Chen, are you sure?" Leo was still a little confused.
"Not bad!" As a surgeon, Chen Xiu still knows some chemotherapy drugs. What's more, he has countless manuals in his hands.
"Okay, I promise! I want your hands to be the agent of all drugs in Europe and the United States! Including drugs to treat cancer! Leo stood up and said that he could not back down at this point, and he believed that as long as he reported this killer idea to the higher-ups, even the higher-ups of the company, he would agree. Drugs covering almost all diseases, the benefits are unimaginable!
Of course, Chen Xiu is not a loss! After all, the existence of these drugs is a bug! He just exchanged these medicines for something of another value! You know, what he is shooting now is just the agency of Europe and the United States! After taking the agency, the Germans still have to buy medicine from him with real money!
"Haha, good! Mr. Leo is so courageous! Next, there's one more little thing! Chen Xiu continued, "About the engineer! Mr. Leo, you also know that our China is now backward in science and technology, and many things, even if there are machines, there are no people. ”
Leo nodded.
"I've heard that the Jews are not living in your country very well, so I would like to ask Mr. Leo to find some Jewish engineers, teachers, doctors, etc., can you?" You know, our country is really lacking everything now! Chen Xiu said this very sincerely, "Of course, you find an engineer, 50 pounds!" The same goes for a doctor! In short, all kinds of jobs have clearly marked prices, why don't you consider it? ”
