Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Turkish Sale

Dai Jitao picked up his briefcase and went to the Yanyang military camp to find Jin Jiu, and Hu Wenkai asked about the specific number of Koreans Li Wenjun went to Shandong for training. Li Wenjun said that the political trial is too strict, not us, but Jin Jiu's side, and there are less than 300 people in the political trial.

300 people is not bad, as long as the personnel are reliable, Hu Wenkai asked Li Wenjun to bring a message to Jin Jiu to go to Fenshui, Shandong next week to comfort the South Korean soldiers. Picked up the phone and called the Tianxing Town office and asked Deng Jun to wait for him in the office in the afternoon, and then went to the dormitory to change clothes and go to the playground to train the team members.

Li Congshan took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Wenjun, asking how many people there were in the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Li Wenjun couldn't say well, but said that Dai Jitao estimated that there was at least one Japanese lieutenant general and a few major generals, and it was full of Japanese elite officers, the number of which would not be less than 200 people, and the few buildings were razed to the ground with the addition of earthen incendiary agents, and it was very unlikely that they would survive.

Li Congshan took a breath, my little obedient, this thing is enough for the Japanese, touched his head and left without saying hello to Li Wenjun.

After tossing and turning on the playground for an hour, I dissipated the boredom of the New Year, took a bath and ate and lay down in the bedroom without interference for a nap. When he returned to Haimen, he felt free, and there were guards when he went out in Shanghai, which made Hu Wenkai very disgusted, but it was not good to forcibly refuse, everyone was kind.

drove the car with a cigarette in his mouth, rolled down the window and drove alone to the office in Star Town. In the territory under his control, the people's hearts are absolutely towards him, and even if he sleeps on the side of the road on this land, no one will harm him, only someone will cover him with a blanket.

A small walk-behind tractor on the road was loaded with a cartload of villagers, dressed in brand new clothes, and women wearing colorful triangular headscarves on their heads. It is estimated that this car person went to relatives during the Spring Festival, and his hometown was also like this in later generations.

The afternoon sun made the carriage warm, and now the foundation is very good, and when the new textile mill and high-quality oil refinery are all put into operation, even if the financial resources are stabilized, Hu Wenkai considered whether to write a book to expound his philosophy, and there is no clear direction in his thinking, so he can't go far.

Deng Jun waited for him in the reception room for a while, asked the secretary's office to send a map of Jiangsu to spread out on the desk, and Hu Wenkai asked Deng Jun to see the direction of the railway line drawn by himself on the map.

"Boss, the construction of this railway should have started a long time ago, there are no mountains in northern Jiangsu, at most a few rivers need to be bridged, and the amount of construction is not large."

"Can it be done in a year? First Nantong to Yangzhou, then Yangzhou to Pukou. ”

"Boss, I think the whole line is still started synchronously, now we have more machinery, the rails can be produced by themselves, synchronous construction and labor saving, now is the farm or according to our old way to supply food, give a little wages and let farmers go to the construction site." Deng Jun gestured with his hand to the map and counted the length.

"Well, in the province, I asked Wang Changrong to go to Governor Wang Shan and allocate 1.5 million yuan to you, and the rails and cement will be allocated by the company, and the construction will start after the fifteenth day of the first month."

"Boss, 1.5 million reluctantly, I will strive to complete the amount exceeded, you have to admit it, otherwise the company's financial meeting will eat me." Deng Jun hesitated.

Hu Wenkai knew that Deng Jun was not one of those contractors in later generations, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "You see that you haven't started construction yet, and you will tell me the conditions, and 1.5 million yuan is the actual cost allocated to you to start according to the final accounts of the project." ”

"Then boss, I won't stay here much, hurry back to make a plan." Deng Jun rolled up the map on the table and prepared to leave.

Hu Wenkai instructed him: "You are always responsible for the entire company's project, you can't just stare at the railway and let your subordinates carry the burden." ”

"Boss, that's natural, my Wu Hongxia often says that you have to learn more from the boss, let your subordinates do something, don't do everything yourself."

"Am I that evil? This Wu Hongxia. Hu Wenkai burst out laughing.

Deng Jun put away the map, put the cigarettes on the table into his pocket by the way, and turned around to leave.

"Hey, that's my cigarette, Deng Jun, you've gone bad." Hu Wenkai shouted.

Deng Jun's laughter came from the corridor.

The papers on the table accumulated again, and the documents screened by the secretary's office were for him to review in person. Rice mills, flour mill expansion reports, spring sapling purchase reports, poverty alleviation pig piglet purchase reports, etc.

On the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Carotta took Zhang Hongfang to Tianfen to inspect the products of Yongan and Tianfen factories on the spot, and Hu Wenkai arranged personnel to accompany Zhang Hongfang to the factory for inspection.

In the afternoon, strong winds blew and the sky was overcast, and the planes that were grounded on the river could not take off. Hu Wenkai called and invited Wu Hongxia and his wife, Yang Siliang and Li Congshan to come over for dinner. In the evening, when the rain was falling, Carotta lay on the bed in Hu Wenkai's bedroom, rummaging through the books at the bedside, and the books on philosophy and mechanical engineering were piled up at the bedside and on the bedside desk.

"Pig, I'm not bored with you, am I? It's not boring to read these books. ”

Hu Wenkai lay down next to her and said, "It's okay, it's much more comfortable to see someone snoring at night every day." ”

Carrotta rolled over and rode on top of him and twisted his ears: "Pig, it turns out that you don't like me, I don't think about me!" When did I snore? ”

"Who said that? I can't hear your snoring, I can't sleep, piggy, your snoring is my lullaby. Hu Wenkai raised his hands in surrender.

The knock on the door was followed by Wang Changhui's voice: "Is my sister-in-law here?" ”

Hu Wenkai let out a long breath: "Wang Changhui! ”

Carrotta scratched his nose and said, "Wen Kai was invited by me to dinner with her at night, you see how your brother behaves." ”

Wang Changhui walked around the room and looked around: "Brother Wen Kai, you are simply so many books in the library." ”

Hu Wenkai said casually: "Only books can wash away the filth in the soul." ”

Wang Changhui held a book in his arms and pondered, "Hmm! Brother Wen Kai, your words are very philosophical. ”

He picked up a thermos and poured a glass of water: "So you're going to go to the United States for graduate school." ”

Carrotta smiled and pulled Wang Changhui to the living room and said, "Your brother is a god stick who likes to fool people. ”

Wang Changhui immediately mended the knife and said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is so right, as long as the radio girl hears about Brother Wen Kai, her eyes will immediately light up, and she can't wait to eat brother." My sister-in-law wants to guard against my brother, don't let him take it away from others. ”

Dinner turned into a work seminar, and Zhang Hongfang wanted to hold exhibitions and order fairs in Beijing, Wuhan and Guangzhou respectively to promote the company's products to the mainland. This matter should be carried out at home and abroad sooner rather than later, Chen Yongcheng is in charge of abroad, and Zhang Hongfang is in charge of China.

Knowing that Hu Wenkai likes to sit in the hall to eat and hates the box in a small space, Carrotta specially asked for the hall on the first floor when ordering food. Deng Jun drank wine and tore off the chicken thighs with his hands like a later generation of science and engineering men, and the frames of his glasses were stained with oil. Wu Hongxia was accustomed to this, took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, and Deng Jun said vaguely that the planned railway needs to pass through 23 large rivers, and the focus of the project is on these bridges. He plans to prefabricate the steel bridge directly to the concrete piers in advance at the factory, which can shorten the construction period.

Wang Xiuguo walked out of the box on the second floor with the cloth dealer of the Chamber of Commerce, drank a lot of wine, and blushed. Two dealers helped him down the stairs, Wang Xiuguo said that as long as the textile factory can be put into operation smoothly tomorrow, everyone can rest assured that the share will be very sufficient, as long as you sell the cloth with all your heart, the money will be rolling, but you must know that the boss gave you money.

A cadre carefully smiled and replied: Yes, we must not forget that it was Hu Daoyi who brought it to us.

Wang Xiuguo suddenly broke away from the two people who were supported and walked down the stairs quickly: "Boss, how can you be a lobby when you are dining here." ”

Hu Wenkai said in surprise: "President Wang? You're in Skystar Town, add a chair and sit down and drink a little more. ”

"Boss, I've had a meal, and I'm taking people from the Chamber of Commerce to attend the commissioning ceremony of the textile factory tomorrow. The hotel in Yongan was full, so we came to stay in Tianxing Town. ”

"Can you stay? Do I need to arrange? ”

"Don't work boss anymore, we live in the chamber of commerce's office in Tianxing." Wang Xiuguo was ready to say goodbye and did not dare to disturb Hu Wenkai's meal.

Zhang Hongfang stood up and helped add a chair and said, "President Wang, sit down for a while, I just want to exchange opinions with you." ”

The two quickly entered the state to discuss the operation of the exhibition, Wu Hongxia nodded to Hu Wenkai, meaning that Zhang Hongfang was very quick to do things. Zhang Hongfang went down to the grassroots level to understand the products and contact the chamber of commerce to find out the needs of dealers, which impressed Hu Wenkai, this girl has a strong work ability, comparable to the strong women of later generations.

As of today, a total of 34,580 Type 20 rifles have been produced, 8,000 have been purchased from Wu Peifu, 21,000 have been assembled by units and militia groups, and 3,000 M1911 pistols, 30 million rounds of various types of ammunition, 20,000 grenades, and 10,000 rounds of various types of artillery shells have been produced.

Hu Wenkai emphatically demanded that he make the quality of his firearms perfect, that every gun should be made like a handicraft, that all parts must be universal, that he should be careful and attentive in the manufacture of grenades and shells, and that there must be no duds and safety accidents.

Li Congshan nodded and said that all processes were operated in accordance with the operation manual provided by the boss, and quality inspectors and safety officers were specially added to each workshop.

Li Congshan whispered into Hu Wenkai's ear: "The boss's European office sent back a secret telegram asking Turkey to ask for the purchase of our arms, and the whole of Europe embargoes their weapons, and the price is 20% higher. ”

Hu Wenkai pinched his fingers and knew that there was a problem with Turkey and Greece, why not buy it, not only sell it to Turkey, but also take the initiative to contact Greece to see if it could be sold to Greece again.

Hu Wenkai: "Sell!" All weapons except airplanes, tanks, and armored vehicles are sold, and as long as they can be paid, we asked Li Manqiang to organize a military inspection mission to Turkey to recommend our weapons. ”

"The boss doesn't need us to send someone, the Turks are already on the way, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Lusi Port soon."

After calculating the price, Hu Wenkai said: "I'll give you a bottom, you will sell me the M1911 for $17, the Type 20 rifle for $30, and so on." ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy to sell it so expensive." Li Congshan opened his mouth in surprise.

"What's expensive, it's a discounted price. The materials and workmanship of our products are world-class, don't be presumptuous. You can call the shots, except for what they don't sell, what they want, what we offer, as long as we give money, and we make what we don't have. ”

Li Congshan couldn't stop nodding Why is the boss so excited, he thought of Hu Wenkai counting the dollars in his heart. Turkey and all Western societies are not impressed with their own ability to surpass Western weapons, and they will thank themselves.

Carrotta reproached: "Wen Kai, what do you think, President Wang toasts you." ”

Hu Wenkai hurriedly stood up, and the other party was in his fifties after all: "President Wang, you just drank it, so let's mean it." ”

"Boss, I'm still in great health, since I can remember, I didn't run until I met the boss, and now foreigners are begging me to supply radios and cotton cloth, and we used to beg foreigners to relieve my anger." Wang Xiuguo obviously drank high.

Hu Wenkai helped him change a small wine glass and drank a glass with him, and President Wang drank a lot and talked more, from the Qing Dynasty to Xinhai. The young man at the table was interested in listening to his nagging, but Hu Wenkai listened to it with relish.
