Chapter 743: Admit defeat

After Yoshiko Kawashima received Kenji Dohihara's order, she once again offered to meet Xu Rui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the one who came to meet Yoshiko Kawashima could only be Wang Husheng.

At this time, Xu Ruiren was in Shanghai, but he did not participate in the attack on No. 76 Jisfeier Road, and only Han Feng, Zhuanshan Leopard, Mo Zichen, Lei Xiang and Wu Han attacked No. 76 Jisfeier Road.

Therefore, Xu Rui is not worried about the safety of the leopards at all.

When the Diamond Mountain Leopard and Han Feng launched an attack on No. 76 Jisfeier Road, Xu Rui was taking Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong to negotiate with Sir Edwards in the office building of Far Eastern Pacific on the Bund.

Edwards is a typical Englishman, with a sense of superiority as a white man in his bones, but there are stupid fools among white people, and there are wise men with discerning eyes, and fools will hang a sense of superiority on their faces, eager to tell the world that he is the noblest white man, and wise men will hide their pride under the appearance of humility.

Edwards is undoubtedly the latter, appearing polite on the surface, but arrogant at heart.

The negotiation had just begun, and Xu Rui immediately felt Edwards' implicit arrogance, this Englishman's offer was twice as high as the reserve price revealed to him by Stilwell! Stilwell said that the equipment in Edwards' hands is now worth up to $20,000, but the price of Lovely Edwards is a full $40,000!

Obviously, this is not Edwards' lion opening his mouth, but Edwards thinks that Xu Rui only deserves this price!

To put it more bluntly, if a white man like Stilwell buys the equipment, Edwards will sell it for 20,000 dollars, but if an Oriental like Xu Rui buys his equipment, it will be 40,000 dollars, and Edwards believes that a Western face is worth at least 20,000 dollars.

Sai Hong frowned and said: "Sir Edward, I want to remind you that if we don't buy this batch of your equipment, your batch of equipment will always be backlogged in the warehouse, or it will become a pile of scrap metal in a few years, let alone 40,000 US dollars, I am afraid that even 400 US dollars will be no one wants." ”

Edwards took the pipe from his mouth and said lightly: "Beautiful lady, if you really think so, then let this batch of equipment rot in the warehouse, without this batch of equipment, I will only lose 40,000 US dollars, but if you can't get this batch of equipment, what you will lose is industrial capacity." ”

Xu Rui's pupils shrank when he heard this, obviously, Edwards knew more than he expected, and Stilwell probably told Edwards in detail about his origin and intention to buy these devices, but Xu Rui didn't think that Edwards was sitting on the ground, and this Englishman purely looked down on the Orientals.

Xu Rui was worried that Edwards would leak the news to the Japanese.

If Edwards leaked the news to the Japanese, then his entire plan of action would have failed, after all, Shanghai was in the Japanese-occupied area, and it was impossible to transport so much machinery and equipment out of the heavy siege of the devils!

Edwards is indeed a smart man, Xu Rui just frowned slightly, and he immediately realized it.

At that moment, Edwards said: "You don't have to worry about secrecy at all, we British people are honest, and a merchant who does not abide by the contract will not survive in the British Empire." ”

After a pause, Edwards said: "But in terms of price, I'm afraid it's not negotiable, even forty thousand dollars, or one thousand two hundred taels of gold, if you are willing to buy, you can enter into a contract now, if you are not willing to buy this batch of equipment, you can do your own thing." ”

After that, Edwards smoked to himself and stopped talking.

Xu Rui secretly hated in his heart, but hatred is hate, he should bow his head and bow his head!

Who left China without industry at that time? Without a strong industry, it deserves to be bullied, and this is an unbreakable truth at all times.

For example, in the era that Xu Rui crossed over, China no longer had to look at the face of the West because of its strong industrial manufacturing capacity, but India, another so-called big country, was pit by Western countries, and the French sold India a batch of third-generation aircraft, but the unit price was higher than that of the fourth-generation stealth aircraft, Russia said that it was to send India an aircraft carrier, and the cost of modification was enough to buy two aircraft carriers plus dozens of carrier-based aircraft.

If you are backward, you will be beaten, and if you don't have industry, you will have to be slaughtered! Ancient and modern!

Xu Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng, it's just 1,200 taels of gold!" But I have one more request. ”

Seeing that Xu Rui agreed to the deal, Edwards immediately changed his expression, smiled and said, "Well, as long as we can do it in Far Eastern Corporation, you can mention it." ”

Xu Rui said: "All equipment must be wrapped in cotton yarn, disguised into cotton yarn bags, if the volume of the equipment is too large, it will be disassembled into parts and then disguised as cotton bags, and then sent to the storage yard of the 16 Pu Wharf!" ”

"There's no problem getting the equipment to the 16th Pier, but why wrap the equipment in cotton yarn and disguise it as a cotton yarn bag?" Edwards said. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Xu Rui said, "You just say it, can it be done?" ”

"Yes, of course it is." Edwards said happily, "It's not worth mentioning. ”

After a pause, Edwards said again: "So Misterxu, do you sign now or later?" ”

As he spoke, Edwards glanced at the box that Little Pink was carrying, and when he entered the door just now, Edwards didn't think much of it, but now, he suspected that it was mostly gold.

Sure enough, Xu Rui waved his hand, and Xiao Taohong put the suitcase in his hand on the round table and opened it, as soon as the light shone, the whole living room was immediately filled with dazzling gold, and the suitcase was indeed filled with gold bars.

Xu Rui said with his hand: "Sir Edward, here is two hundred taels of gold, which is considered an advance payment, as long as the contract is signed, this gold is yours, as for the remaining one thousand taels of gold, when the equipment arrives at the sixteenth shop wharf, I will immediately send someone to pay it off, and I will definitely not miss you a tael of gold." ”

Edwards smiled, "Mister, I can trust you." ”

Trust me to be a ghost! Xu Rui snorted and said, "Then can you sign a contract now?" ”

The Western powers have no integrity at the political level, and politicians talk like farts, and they turn their faces when they say they turn their faces, but at the business level, Western businessmen are still quite honest, so as long as Edwards signs the contract, Xu Rui no longer has to worry about him breaking his word and getting fat, and the whole plan is half completed.

"Of course, of course." Edwards said, "You can sign it now." ”

After Edwards finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a beautiful white Russian woman walked in with the documents, in duplicate, and handed them to Xu Rui and Edwards respectively, Xu Rui glanced at the white Russian woman, she looked very charming, especially the pair of snow-white long legs were very eye-catching, it seems that Edwards, this old guy is also an expert.

Xu Rui sluggled and signed his name on the text, and then exchanged it with Waldwaters.

After the signing was completed, Edwards became more enthusiastic about Xu Rui, and sent an invitation: "Misty Xu, and two beautiful ladies, the dance party in the ballroom on the top floor of the East Asia Hotel is almost starting, I wonder if the three of them are willing to enjoy the light?" I will prepare the best wine and the perfect dance partner at the ball. ”

Sai Hongfu was a little moved, and the key was that the wife of this foreign devil made her very useful.

However, Xu Rui was still worried about the leopards in his heart, where did he have the heart to participate in the ball, so Xu Ruiwan declined Edwards' invitation, and Edwards shrugged his shoulders and didn't hold back too much.

Xu Rui and the others returned to the hostel, only to find that they had already returned.

The Diamond Mountain Leopard said with a grin: "Commander, the people of Shanghai Tek said that No. 76 Jisifeier Road is like a demon cave, I thought it was so powerful, but it turned out to be the same thing, although there are a lot of people, but they are all a group of Shanghai Xiaoqisan, bullying and bullying the common people is reluctant, and it is not enough to see under our hands." ”

"This really can't be compared, you wolf fangs are not human." Wu Han said.

Wu Han had actually heard of the name of the wolf tooth for a long time, but before seeing was believing, Wu Han always thought that this was just a rumor, but after participating in the two operations of the wolf tooth, Wu Han found out that the wolf tooth was actually much more terrifying than the rumors, and the marksmanship, skills and combat experience of these guys were simply impeccable!

"What are you talking about, you say we're not human?" When the Diamond Mountain Leopard heard this, his eyes immediately widened.

Wu Han hurriedly explained: "No, I don't mean what you think, I mean ......"

Before he finished speaking, the Zuanshan Leopard immediately changed his smiling face, hugged Wu Han's shoulders affectionately and said: "Okay, old Wu, you still talk about us, your one-handed soul rejuvenation needle is not bad, it's better to do this, when this operation is over, you can simply go back to Dameishan with us, how boring it is to stay in Shanghai, isn't it?" ”

"Coming with you to Dameishan?" Wu Han's heart fluttered when he heard this.

Asking his heart, Wu Han was of course happy to join the Wolf Tooth Army.

Xu Rui did not stop the behavior of the Drill Mountain Leopard openly digging into the corner of the Shanghai Special Commission, because he was also very optimistic about Wu Han, this kid not only made a good secret weapon, but the key was a surgeon, they lacked nothing now, except for a special soldier who was proficient in medical skills, and with Wu Han, it would be enough to make up for this lack.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

While speaking, Xiao Taohong hurried over with a telegram and reported: "Uncle, a telegram has just been sent from home, saying that Kenji Dohihara has admitted defeat!" (To be continued.) )
