Chapter 83 Airlines and Tractor Factories

On the way back to Meng Chang, Mu Ouchu was a little puzzled, why Meng Chang handed over the two products he had just put to Liu Fangxiong to sell, and put heavy weapons such as large-caliber artillery on the table.

"Brother Ou Chu, there are two reasons. First of all, the sales of domestic products cannot all be our own people, and our strength alone is not enough to deal with the government, and the power of the national authorities in some places is weak, let alone us, and there are military commanders who can make money in business, which is much better than blackmailing the common people.

The second one, we can't use artillery ourselves at all, but 75 field guns and mortars are suitable for us. And if you really start a war with the Japanese, **** is still the main force, so I want to increase the heavy firepower of ****. Especially in terms of heavy firepower, the Chinese army has suffered too much. "Meng Chang is worried when he thinks about how many battles he has fought now.

Little devil planes, tanks, and heavy artillery are all swords chosen on the head of the Chinese army. There was silence on the car, and every time this topic was mentioned, Meng Chang felt powerless.

When he arrived at home, Liu Qinghou told Meng Chang that John had called and asked Meng Chang to go to their firm, but he didn't say anything.

Meng Chang took Liu Liangke directly to John's place and waited for a meeting. John happily pulled out a document.

"Mr. Meng Chang, twenty Martin B-10s have arrived, I just shipped them into the warehouse, and there are still 200,000 rounds of ammunition, this is the list, you can take a look"

Meng Chang took it and looked at it, then put the list on the table. Reminds me of the new airliner just produced in the United States.

"Very good, John. I'm amazed at your efficiency. I came here today for another thing, that is, I want to buy the new Douglas passenger plane newly launched in the United States, and I am going to set up an airline in China, and you see if there is a way to contact me. ”

"Mr. Meng, your news is too well-informed, this aircraft has just been successfully tested, and it has not yet been delivered, if you place an order first, it is estimated that it will be able to get a lot of discounts, I will take a telegram to China now, and let the United States contact me first."

John got up and went to the telegraph room in the back.

"Mr. Meng, we have been working together for a few months, what do you think of honest John" John poured Meng Chang a glass of red wine.

"Mr. John, I have always had a good impression of you, you are enthusiastic, positive, and good at seizing business opportunities. I admire you very much. Meng Chang took a sip of red wine and said.

"Oh, thank you for your evaluation of me, I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Meng, can we increase some products, you know that I am not only a director of Citibank, but also the owner of this commercial bank. This is my own business. To be honest, I have only been in China for a relatively short time, and the Chinese government has a lot of purchases in Germany and other countries. My products have always wanted to enter the government's procurement, but I have never had the opportunity. I've been the happiest I've had since working with you, really," John said, still a little sad.

The government at that time really preferred German things, especially military supplies. This may have something to do with the former Qing Dynasty and the rigor of the Germans. Meng Chang made John a little embarrassed, Meng Chang purchased a lot from others. Including Harvey of Mobil introduced by John.

"So, John, maybe we've known each other for a relatively short time, you see, I have a few things to purchase, see if you can help me." Meng Chang took out a cigarette and lit one.

"In terms of aircraft, I want the latest model, you help me pay attention to it, the engine of the aircraft, if you can purchase more than 1,000 horsepower, I can purchase this in large quantities, and the quantity is guaranteed to make you a fortune." The second is the agricultural machinery, which I need tractor finished products and production lines, you can help me pay attention to it; The third is a portable radio, which can also be purchased in large quantities. Meng Chang said, and John quickly memorized it with his pen.

"John, the United States does not have an advantage in this area of weapons now, and you yourself know it. I still hope you understand this, in fact, we can cooperate better in other aspects, such as the bicycles that I am about to launch, electric fans, etc., are much cheaper than you ship from the United States, you can resell them to other countries, and I have more products to be produced soon, this is where you really make money. Meng Chang flicked the ashes of his cigarette.

"Oh, Mr. Meng, I may have gone into a misunderstanding, I will sort out my thoughts well, and then sort out my own things in this area and send you a copy. In the past, I did what business I had, this may be my misunderstanding, you can rest assured, your new products come out, I will sell vigorously. John suddenly felt that every time he reminded, he didn't necessarily have to buy much of his own things, he could also sell his company's products, and it was business to have in and out.

The two of them talked for a while about other business issues, and gradually unveiled the knot, Meng Chang followed John to the warehouse to take a look at the plane.

By the time they arrived at the warehouse, the planes had not yet been assembled, so as to facilitate transportation. Meng Chang looked at these pieces and couldn't put them down, this was the first batch of training planes in his Air Force.

"John, you transport the plane to my warehouse tomorrow, where I built a simple runway, and when you get there, you can arrange for someone to assemble it for me, and I will drive the plane back in two days, so it will be much more convenient." Meng Chang said happily.

"Okay, these can be done in a few days, and this time there are also several technicians from Martin Company who will teach you how to maintain and operate the plane. Of course, this is a payable man," John made a rare joke.

"Okay, you take the three things I told you to heart, I'm in a hurry, and the companies are getting started faster, if you're late, I'll have to buy other people's." Meng Chang also explained to John, and then returned to the Mu Mansion.

Mu Ouchu and Liu Shanpu are back, Meng Chang has nothing to do today, and just wants to arrange things for the next few days.

"Patriarch, this time I brought Liu Xiwang and the four of them back, and the others have to study in Shanghai, there are too many things at home now, I am a little too busy to be alone, you have to worry a lot about Shanghai, and there are several other places to cooperate in this area, and we must strengthen practice." My machine is about to be produced. As long as you finalize it, you will immediately start the construction of a new plant, some of the workers will be removed from Liujiatun, and the rest will be recruited locally, and each provincial capital must have more than five factories of more than 100 acres. ”

"Okay, it's not a big problem to restart the estimate, now Chengdu is in contact, Yunnan and Guangxi are in contact with the local warlords if it is estimated by insurance," Liu Shanpu said.

"No matter who it is, we have to be wholly owned, if it really doesn't work, we have to account for more than 80 of the shares, which can't let them participate in the management, only dividends. If you can't talk about it, let it go. Meng Chang was afraid that someone would hold him back.

"Brother Mu has two parts, one is the sales of new products, and the other is the recruitment of talents, both of which must increase manpower. And what is the name of our factory, you can think about it and brainstorm it."
