After a long absence, Loew was very happy to see the "wonder boy" Liang Sihan, holding his hand with his right hand, and slapping his shoulder with his left hand; Although Young Master Liang has grown a lot taller in the past half a year, and he can be regarded as strong and strong in the waist after practicing every day, he still can't stand the enthusiasm of this big man, so he quickly pulled out his hand, patted Loew's arm and said, "Dear Loew, how are you doing lately?" ”

"Oh, dear Ronnie, I am more fulfilling now than I was in the army, every day is busy, and our business is flourishing; The shipyard's orders have been filled for the next two years, and a dozen or so ships of all sizes in your Tianbao line alone are enough to be busy this year; The machinery factory has just been put into operation, and the business is OK, mainly to serve the enterprises in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Development Zone, after all, the industry of the Qing Dynasty has not yet started, but I believe that there will be more orders in the future.

Young Master Liang heard that the machinery and machinery factory established by the Prussians was a large scale, and now it may be that there are insufficient orders and are in a state of insufficiency; He immediately used his brain, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Love, I'm just here to send you an order, I want to customize a batch of machinery and equipment, and I can also introduce you to some processing business."

Loew was immediately overjoyed: "Really? My God! Why do you bring me good news every time you show up? Are you my angel? ”

I don't know if I have dealt with the Chinese a lot, or if I have been with the hypocritical and shrewd Jew Anderson for a long time, the emotional intelligence of the Prussians has improved a lot, and they actually shoot Western-style sycophants.

Young Master Liang is accustomed to this trick of foreign devils, and he has seen Anderson's tricks that are so fanciful that he has been silently calculating in his heart; He then made a very sincere appearance: "I want to cooperate with Mr. Mauser, you know this, I am going to set up a very large military factory, so I need to customize a batch of machines from you, oh, this is the list, or the old rules, you can give me a suitable quotation."

Loew was really happy this time, took the list handed over by Young Master Liang, and looked at it carefully; Just a moment later, he patted his head and said embarrassedly: "Oh, dear Ronnie, I don't understand so much machinery and equipment, so please go with me to the factory in the development zone, there is our best engineer, he will answer everything for you, oh yes, Mr. Mauser is also there, you may be able to meet him there".

"Well, I can just talk to him, so what are we waiting for"? Young Master Liang shrugged his shoulders like a foreigner.

For the first time, walking on the flat and wide road of Guangzhou Development Zone, looking at this industrial zone that he planned and prepared, Master Liang felt as if he was in a European city, in fact, it was more beautiful and neat than European cities, because it was newly designed and planned, and it adopted the mature planning and design of European and American designers.

The machinery factory in Prussia is indeed very large, and the construction of the factory area adheres to the meticulous and orderly concept of the Germans in later generations, without the kind of chaos like the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau; Young Master Liang, a technical expert, was very satisfied, and it could be seen that the management team of this factory was very effective, which made him want to visit.

Young Master Liang walked into the factory workshop, and the workshop was also clean and tidy; Workers are working around the machine tools, and most of the workers in the workshop are Chinese, but the real operators of the machines are Prussians, and the Chinese workers are learning from foreign masters in a serious way; Seeing this scene, Master Liang was pleased, he single-handedly planned this Guangzhou Development Zone, didn't he just hope that the foreign masters could train a large number of skilled workers for China?

Seeing the painstaking planning become a reality, Young Master Liang couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, but his face was pretending to be casual and walking towards the workshop next to him, which was bigger; Suddenly, Young Master Liang's face was shocked, he actually saw a big guy here-a large hydraulic press, he was so excited that his little heart was beating wildly, this is a heavy weapon in industrial production! It seems that the Prussians attach great importance to this factory, and they are also determined to win the market of the Qing Dynasty; In order to compete with the old industrial powers such as Britain and France, this emerging country really spared no effort to roll up its sleeves and work hard!

"Mr. Loew, how many tons can this hydraulic press have?" Young Master Liang asked with a casual look.

"Uh, Ronnie, I'll help you ask" Loew wasn't very familiar with this, after all, he was a former army captain, not an engineer.

The person in charge of the workshop, who knew Loew, one of the members of the board of directors of the factory, respectfully introduced them: "This is our latest Prussian industrial heavy machine, a large hydraulic press, which can reach a maximum pressure of 5,000 tons; However, the French shipyard just installed a large 6,000-ton hydraulic press last month in order to compete with us."

Sure enough, competition is everywhere! It seems that before the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, this pair of enemies had already begun to fight. Young Master Liang's heart blossomed, we Chinese people warmly welcome you to continue to work hard, transport the latest and greatest equipment to China, and show your great strength!

Could it be that at this time in 1869, Britain and France did not use restrictions on the introduction of technology to China? Oh! Perhaps the foreigners have regarded the Guangzhou Development Zone as their territory, so they will unscrupulously move the country's important weapons over, after all, the Chinese capital here is only 15% of Tianbaoxing. Young Master Liang was thinking about who to ask to order a set of large hydraulic presses? You can't just open your mouth to test this, so as not to startle the snake.

That's right, there you have it! You can find little Mauser, with the status and ability of the Mauser company in Prussia, you should be able to get this kind of big guy, it seems that you will have to fool little Mauser later.

He then suggested that Loew and his soldiers split up, with Loew going to the engineer to calculate the quotation, and he going to talk to Mauser Jr.

"Hey! Mr. Mauser, when I receive your telegram, I will come to see you immediately" Young Master Liang casually approached little Mauser.

"Long time no see, Ronnie, is your steel mill ready"? Mauser Jr. stayed in China for that amazing rifle, so he naturally cared about these issues.

Young Master Liang said with a sad face: "The steel factory is ready to be put into production, and your gunpowder factory equipment is about to arrive, but my military factory is not only a gunsmith factory, but also an artillery manufacturing factory, a bullet and shell factory, and a gunpowder factory, so I came here to customize a batch of machinery and equipment; But there is one thing I have overlooked, which is the large hydraulic press; Without a large hydraulic press, we would have trouble producing rifles."

"Huh?" Little Mauser was startled, and suddenly lost his breath, I have been waiting in China for so long, the machinery and equipment sent to you will arrive soon, and more than 30 engineers and technicians on the ship will also arrive, and you told me that there is trouble?

Little Mauser's face changed: "Could it all be your deception?" That amazing rifle is impossible to build? ”

"No, no, no, definitely not this! It's just that I still want to add a set of equipment for a large hydraulic press," Young Master Liang hurriedly shook his hand.

"Oh, that's fine," little Mauser just thought about the rifle, and then he realized that something was wrong: "What, a large hydraulic press?" Oh, my God! Do you know how much it costs to add such a set of equipment? Mr. Ronnie, the contract has been signed, and it is impossible for me to provide you with such valuable equipment for free. ”

"Mr. Mauser, please forgive me for not making it clear, a large hydraulic press is an indispensable piece of equipment, but I can pay you in full in addition, just ask you to buy it for me, so that it will be faster." Young Master Liang knew that what little Mauser cared about was to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

Little Mauser is relieved, purchasing on behalf of the company, you don't need to pay for it yourself, it doesn't matter, with the Mauser company's ability in Prussia, you can get a low price, and then sell it to this Chinese teenager, such an expensive large equipment, you can make a lot of money from it, thinking of this, his face immediately turned to a smile: "I can accept the purchasing agent, but are you sure you can have a large hydraulic press?" Is there anything else you need? Don't think about needing something else in a few days. ”

Young Master Liang thought to himself that there was a door, I didn't even open my mouth, you had already helped me think about it, he pretended to think for a while before he spoke: "Well, then help me buy another set of large boring machines, I think, this should be enough, there is no other need." Large hydraulic presses and large boring machines are necessary equipment for the production of large-caliber artillery, in the impression of Young Master Liang, foreign devils should have export restrictions on these important equipment, in his previous life, he knew well that European and American countries had a technological blockade of China.

Little Mauser doesn't care about these, to be precise, the Prussians don't care about these so-called technical limitations, this world currently belongs to Britain and France, and if they Prussians want to gain a place in the world of great powers, they must work hard to develop by unscrupulous means, why not make money that can be earned?
