Chapter 730: Sent to the door
Xu Rui turned his gaze to Stilwell again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
To Xu Rui's disappointment, Stilwell also spread his hands and said: "Mister Xu, I'm sorry to tell you, the U.S. government may not be able to help you with this, I have told you before, the current United States is plagued by isolationism, such as aiding China's heavy chemical equipment, which will obviously offend the Japanese government, I am afraid it is difficult to get the approval of Congress, and without the approval of Congress, I am afraid that no business will dare to sell equipment to you." ”
Xu Rui said angrily: "It's just a complete set of equipment for a small chemical plant, and it's also a coal chemical equipment that is about to be tao, and it also needs the approval of the U.S. Congress?" General Stilwell, you're so uninteresting, really I don't understand your American law, or do you think I'm Xu Rui so foolish? ”
After speaking, Xu Rui turned his head and instructed Xu Ye to say: "Xu Ye, withdraw the melon slices of tea, this is the top quality melon slices for ten dollars and one tael, it is really blind for them to drink, and again, go and order the kitchen, from today onwards, the food standard for Minister Cherev and General Stilwell will be lowered by three grades, from the VIP level to the official standard." ”
Xu Rui's words were deliberately said to Cherev and them, speaking in English, Xu Ye naturally couldn't understand it.
As a result, Xu Ye also came to a sentence in semi-English: "Oh? Oh, Commander, you say? I don't understand. ”
Cherev and Stilwell were stunned at first, but when they reacted, they looked at each other and laughed.
Cherev laughed and said, "Joseph, you better not tease Commander Xu, otherwise he will be angry and may drive us out of Dameishan, so that we will have to sleep in the wilderness." ”
Xu Rui smiled and said, "It's not like I can't do this kind of thing." ”
"Oh God, I can't help you." Stilwell shrugged his shoulders, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a serious expression, "Actually, before we left for Dameishan, we had already heard that your Dameishan was vigorously developing industry, so I had already discussed with Cherev that we would send you a complete set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a chemical plant, and besides, this is not a small factory, but a medium and large factory, and its production capacity is enough to meet the needs of several group armies!" ”
"What? You're going to send me a medium-sized pharmaceutical factory plus a medium-sized chemical plant? Xu Rui was dumbfounded, "I heard you right, right?" Are you serious? ”
"Maigaard." Stilwell slapped his forehead when he heard this, and quickly shook his head to remedy, "I was wrong just now, the entire set of equipment of this medium-sized pharmaceutical factory and a medium-sized chemical factory was not given to you for nothing, because the equipment is not owned by the two of us, but by a foreign company in the United Kingdom, and we can only be responsible for matchmaking." ”
Xu Rui said: "So it's the equipment of the British? ”
Cherev said: "That's right, this foreign firm is the Far Eastern Foreign Company founded by Sir Edwards, Sir Edwards is very optimistic about the market in the East, so he spent money to buy a complete set of equipment from the West, ready to invest in Shanghai, set up a pharmaceutical factory and a chemical plant, but his equipment has just been unloaded, and the Battle of Songhu broke out." ”
Stilwell continued: "Now that the Japanese army has taken control of the whole of East China, most of Shanghai has also fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and the relationship between the Japanese government and the British government is becoming increasingly strained, so it is completely unprofitable for Far Eastern Ocean Company to establish a pharmaceutical and chemical plant in Shanghai, and this batch of equipment has become a problem." ”
Cherev continued: "Because it takes a lot of freight to transport this batch of equipment back to England, and that batch of chemical equipment is still a coal chemical equipment that is about to be tao, even if it is shipped back to England, it cannot be sold, and it can only lose money, so Sir Edwards uses all kinds of connections to dispose of this equipment at a low price." ”
"I see." Xu Rui was overjoyed and said, "This is really God helping me." ”
Stilwell said: "But don't be too happy, now that the whole of East China has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, even if you buy this batch of equipment at a low price, it will not be easy to transport it back to Dameishan." ”
Xu Rui asked tentatively: "Can you borrow the merchant ships of the American and British Tobacco Company?" ”
"Don't count on that." Stilwell said, "I'm afraid you don't know that just a few days ago, the Japanese army in Nanjing shelled the British Empire's destroyer HMS Queen, and forcibly stopped British merchant ships near Shimonoseki and forcibly boarded them for inspection, and now the Japanese government has become less and less concerned about the face of the British Empire." ”
Xu Rui couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, it seems that there is really such a stubble in history.
Now things are tricky, if small Japan does not even give British face, then it is really not easy to transport this batch of pharmaceutical factory equipment and chemical plant equipment back to Dameishan, at least it is impossible to transport it back at one time, if the ant moving transportation is used, it will be protracted, and the pharmaceutical factory and chemical plant will be completed I don't know that it will be until the year of the monkey, and the danger is actually very high, and the longer it drags on, the greater the possibility of being destroyed by small Japan.
Stilwell took a sip of melon slices of tea and said: "In short, we can help you with matchmaking, and we can even accompany you to Shanghai to help you lower the price, but how to ship the equipment back after buying it, we can't help with this, I'm afraid you have to think about it yourself." ”
Cherev said: "You still have to think about it, should you buy this batch of equipment or not? ”
"Buy, this must be bought!" Xu Rui said categorically, "Even if you can't get it back, you have to buy it!" ”
"Okay, then we'll send a telegram to the Far Eastern Bank in Shanghai." Cherev nodded and said, "The rest is that you have determined the itinerary specifically, and when you have confirmed the itinerary, we will accompany you to Shanghai." ”
"Okay, there's two of you." Xu Rui hurriedly thanked him.
(Dividing Line)
Until he returned home, Xu Rui was still thinking about transporting equipment.
Sai Hongfu personally cooked, and took Xiao Peach to make a sumptuous dinner, but Xu Rui ate heartlessly, which annoyed Sai Hongfu, the old lady spent an afternoon of time and energy to make such a sumptuous meal, but the surname Xu ate the same taste as chewing wax, which is simply unreasonable.
Saihong said angrily: "Little Peach, take out this pot of braised pork and give it to the second emperor to eat!" ”
"Huh? For the second emperor? Little Peach said with some heartache, "It's too bad, my uncle hasn't eaten a few bites." ”
"It's a waste to give it to someone." Sai Hongfu glanced at Xu Rui fiercely and said, "Give it to the second emperor, and the second emperor can at least wag his tail to show his gratitude." ”
"Ah, you're mad at me." Xu Rui reacted at this time, quickly got up, put his hands behind his back, made a tail appearance, and said with a smile while wagging it, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry, Xianggong will wag your tail for you." ”
When Xiao Taohong saw it, a pair of big watery eyes immediately laughed into a crescent moon, and Sai Hongfu couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Sai Hongfu's disgust turned into joy, Xu Rui let go of his worries, let go of his stomach and ate a lot, while praising Sai Hongfu's cooking skills, but then again, Sai Hongfu's cooking skills are really good, not to mention anything else, just this braised pork is about to catch up with the level of future chefs.
Seeing Xu Rui's delicious food, Xiao Taohong sandwiched the braised pork into her bowl and sandwiched it into Xu Rui's bowl, Xu Rui sandwiched the meat back into Xiao Taohong's bowl, and Xiao Taohong sandwiched the meat into Xu Rui's bowl. ”
Little Peach immediately lowered her head, and Baozi's little face also became crimson.
Xu Rui smiled when he heard this, and sandwiched the meat into the Saihong Whisk bowl.
"You want to kill me, you know I can't smell meat right now." Sai Hongfu couldn't help but glance at Xu Rui, but it was sweet in his heart, and his beautiful eyes were full of smiles, and then he picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the last piece of braised pork into Xu Rui's bowl.
Xiao Taohong asked again: "Uncle, look at your sad face just now, are you in trouble?" ”
"Well, this time it's really a difficult thing, a big problem." Let Xiao Taohong mention it, Xu Rui immediately remembered the matter of transporting the equipment again, and a pair of thick eyebrows immediately frowned again.
Sai Hongfu said softly, "Can you tell us about it?" ”
Xu Rui glanced at Sai Hongfu, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid your Qingbai League won't be able to help with this matter." ”
While the three of them were talking, Xu Ye suddenly rushed in out of breath and reported, "Commander, the patrol has caught a female spy at Xiasha Bridge!" What is it called, Jin Bihui, shouting to call you. ”
"What are you talking about, Jin Bihui?" Xu Rui's heart moved violently when he heard this.
Isn't Jin Bihui Yoshiko Kawashima? Little Japan's ace female spy?
This notorious female spy actually dared to run to Dameishan to find him, is she tired and crooked?
But the next moment, Xu Rui immediately guessed the intention of Jin Bihui's trip, and immediately said with great joy: "Hehe, it's good, it's just right, I'm dozing off, but someone sent me a pillow, hahaha, great, great, hurry, hurry up, escort that female spy to the headquarters, I want to interrogate her personally!" ”
After speaking, Xu Rui stood up and left, looking very excited.
"Female spy?" Sai Hongfu immediately became alert and asked Xu Yedao, "Are you beautiful?" ”
"Pretty." Xu Ye didn't know Sai Hongfu's thoughts, and replied honestly, "It's as beautiful as my sister-in-law." ”
"What?" Sai Hongfu immediately became anxious when he heard this, and said to Xu Rui, "The surname Xu, I don't allow you to see this vixen surnamed Jin, I see that she is an agent of the Fuxing Society, and you are not allowed to see her." ”
"That's not going to work." Xu Rui said hesitantly, "I've seen this woman." ”
After speaking, Xu Rui put on his armed belt, turned around and walked away, Sai Hong was so angry that he stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Taohong smiled and said: "Sister, don't be angry, my uncle is deliberately teasing you, so that he won't mess with the female spy surnamed Jin, except for Sister Jiangnan, my uncle only cares about you." ”
Sai Hongfu said: "This is what makes me angry the most, hum!" (To be continued.) )
