Hua Ruohan's heart moved, he was very interested in the young Qing official in front of him, this person was simply an outlier in the official ranks of the Qing Kingdom! Everything in the West is almost insightful, has an unusually clear grasp of the world situation, masters the languages of Britain, France, Russia and Germany, has sharp words, and is proficient in Western firearms, I wonder what else can a person like him do to find himself?

Hua Ruohan smiled: "General Guo has something to say, we are friends, aren't we?" ”

Guo Ye nodded and replied, "I want to ask, do you have anyone familiar with your country's military industry?" ”

Hua Ruohan said with a smile: "General Guo, are you more interested in our American weapons and want to increase purchases?" Rest assured, although my position is not very high, I am still familiar with all the military industrial enterprises in the United States! ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "This time it's not procurement, it's cooperation!" ”

Hua Ruohan was stunned, cooperation? How to cooperate? Although Hua Ruohan admires Guo Ye very much, he doesn't think that Guo Ye has the capital to cooperate with American military enterprises! That requires mastering enough advanced technology, or a large enough amount of cash, and Hua Ruohan doesn't think that Guo Ye can come up with any of them at all!

Guo Ye continued: "I have developed a new type of rifle with rear-loading bullets and rifling, which can be fired in bursts!" I think it will definitely shine in future wars and sell all over the world! But, you know, now there are no suitable military-industrial enterprises in the Qing State at all, not even one that produces a single screw, how can it be possible to produce rifles? So I want to find an American military-industrial complex for cooperative production! ”

Yes!

Hua Ruohan was taken aback and developed a new rifle! This Guo Ye is too good! Even in the United States, there are not many people who have mastered the technology of rifle development, which is the lifeblood of a country!

Hua Ruohan muttered, "General Guo, you're not joking......

Guo Ye smiled and shook his head, and took out a drawing from his arms, which had already been drawn, and he had always wanted to sell it at a price, but after nearly a year, he never found the right person and the right opportunity, and today he finally met Hua Ruohan again, but he can give it a try!

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Mr. Hua Ruohan, look, this is a sketch of a new rifle I made, and I named him Liaoyuan No. 1 Rifle!" ”

The rifle drawn by Guo Ye is the king of rifles in another time and space, Mauser, who shocked the world at the end of the nineteenth century! As a generation of soldiers, Guo Ye has long been familiar with the history of the development of guns in the world, and none of the construction principles of various guns can stump him, and it is really simple to draw a sketch like this!

Hua Ruohan took the sketch suspiciously, and Huggins on the side also came over and looked at it carefully.

"I drop God! It's so classic, I'm dropping God, it's just amazing! General Guo Ye, you are simply omnipotent! ”

Although Hua Ruohan is not a general, he is also obsessed with guns, and he can see the great value of this rifle at a glance, rear-loading, rifled, five-bullet burst, and exquisite trigger structure, this is definitely an extremely classic rifle!

Hua Ruohan's eyes flashed with admiration, full of praise! Huggins on the side was also stunned! Is this general in front of you Chinese or not! Could it be that such a smart person still exists among the ignorant Chinese? Incredible!

Guo Ye stretched out his hand to put the drawings away and said, "Mr. Hua Ruohan, Mr. Huggins, how is it?" Are you happy with this sketch? ”

Hua Ruohan's eyes flashed, and he asked urgently, "General Guo, how do you plan to cooperate?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "First, this rifle, I will apply for technical patent protection in various countries, if there are military enterprises in your country that are interested, you can negotiate with me about the patent fee, this patent fee is expensive and tight, I will not be polite, I know that the huge profits of arms are incomparable to any industry; Second, to set up a joint venture military factory to jointly produce this kind of rifle, I will provide technology and space, and your country will invest in equipment and technicians, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the factory must be in China! Thirdly, I will be able to borrow a loan of no less than $1 million from a bank in your country as collateral for technology! ”

Hiss......

Hua Ruohan gasped, good guy, this guy is so big! Of the three conditions, none of them is simple! It's very costly!

Hua Ruohan said in a deep voice: "General Guo, the first way, patent authorization, although this has a certain attraction for our American military industrial enterprises, it will not be very high, if you pay a certain patent fee for each gun, then the profit of the enterprise will not be much; The third way, a loan of one million dollars, this is an astronomical amount, even in the United States, there are not many banks that can come up with a million dollars in one go! It's too hard to get such a large loan just for a rifle patent, and even if we succeed, we won't get much benefit, will we? As for the second way, it is feasible, but your country lacks sufficiently advanced skilled workers, and lacks sufficient protection for industry and commerce, I think it is more appropriate to set up factories in the United States, General Guo, you should know that we Americans pay the most attention to the spirit of contract, as long as you sign a contract, you will definitely not lose a penny! I suggest that you can consider opening a factory in the United States! I guarantee that the military-industrial complex will rush to it! ”

Guo Ye shook his head with a smile and replied, "My minister, if I don't trust the Americans, I won't talk to you about this matter specifically, there are other foreigners in Beijing, can't you try to cooperate?" Choose you because you absolutely believe in your business spirit. However, this factory must be established in China, even if I lose part of the income, I will not hesitate to do so! ”

Hua Ruohan frowned in embarrassment and asked, "Why?" General Guo, why, do you insist on setting up a factory in China? This kind of business environment in your country is definitely not suitable for such a thing! ”

Guo Ye replied: "The environment can be changed, let the military factory build in China, it is precisely to be able to speed up this change, Mr. Minister, if you can speed up the improvement of China's business environment, the benefits to your country's business and trade, needless to say, you should also be very clear, then the future business benefits, absolutely beyond your imagination!" Mr. Warrhohan, would you like to help? ”

Hua Ruohan smiled bitterly: "General Guo, you have thrown such a big bait, do I still have the right to refuse?" Don't worry, at least one month, at most two or three months, I will definitely give you an answer, on the American side, there will definitely be heads of military industrial enterprises who will personally go to China! ”
