Chapter 43: The Airplane and the Instructor
At eight o'clock in the morning, there are white clouds floating in the sky, the blue sky is like washing, although it has entered winter, but the temperature in Shanghai is not particularly cool.
He wears a white shirt with a blue tie and a gold tie inlaid with a diamond, and a black tuxedo.
Meng Chang looked at himself in front of the dressing mirror, he was quite handsome, promising, lucky, peach, cough cough, thinking too much. This is a gift that Mu Ouchu brought to him when he came back yesterday, saying that Meng Chang was dressed too casually, and since he was going to set up a new company and cooperate with the ghost guy, he would wear a suit.
Meng Chang doesn't care what he wears, but in the Republic of China, Meng Chang doesn't want to wear a suit, this is when China opens its eyes to the world, and some so-called etiquette and formal wear are positioned at this time. Learning a foreign language, wearing a suit, and speaking with foreign words, it seems that this is how you can appear superior, and you can stand up your thin body. These can't be said to be inferior, it doesn't matter what you wear, but it's not right if you don't wear anything, this is a big problem. Isn't it. Meng Chang felt that he still had to order some dresses and clothes to wear usually, and there would be more places to deal with others in the future, and he still had to make some contributions to maintaining Chinese culture.
Meng Chang and Mu Ouchu arrived at the romantic French restaurant twenty minutes early, and the restaurant at this time was not just about eating. , just think of the future generations of large hotels, where meals, leisure, meetings and so on can be held. As soon as Meng Chang arrived, Rouse arrived, although Rouse was a German, but he was not rigid, but very flexible, Meng Chang asked Liu Qinghou to wait in the hall, and went to a large private room on the third floor with Rouse. Meng Chang asked the waiter to open another small room, and then entered the small room with Rouse, the two sat down, the waiter made tea, Rouse asked for a cup of coffee, and Meng Chang drank tea.
"Mistermeng, today is a good day, a new company is about to be established, I am very optimistic about you, I will wait to make money with you." Rouse is now more than willing to invest outside of Germany, he feels that his good days in Germany are coming to an end, and now the hatred of the Jews in the German team is growing. Moreover, Rouse is also very optimistic about Meng Chang, rich and courageous, Meng Chang is not bad at looking at his ability, in one, can a person who dares to buy such a large number of weapons in China be a simple person. So Rouse wanted to hug Meng Chang tightly.
"Mr. Rouse, you're welcome, we've also made it a few times, don't worry, as long as the company opens, it won't take a few years for you to find that your share will multiply several times" Meng Chang has this confidence, and when a few of his patents come out, the money is not the same as flowing water.
"Rouse, I want to buy a few planes, see if there is a way" Meng Chang remembered that there were a few good planes in Germany, so he wanted to buy some for the team to train. Now the BF-109 fighter has just begun to fly test, and the basic performance has reached the combat indicators, and it can be mass-produced.
"Mistermeng, if it's an old plane, I'll have a way then, but the new one won't, I know you like the latest things, and I may not be able to do anything about it." Nowadays, fighters like fighter planes are all extremely secretive, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to get them, and the aircraft exported are all aircraft that are facing obsolescence in their own country.
"In this way, if I am a platoon, can you arrange for them to learn to fly an airplane, I don't have a pilot yet" Meng Chang thought for a moment.
"This is okay, now there are a lot of unemployed pilots in Germany, after World War I, the economy has not improved, life is not good, if you need it, I can also introduce you to some pilots, they used to be combat heroes, now there are a lot of unemployed, there are a lot of German soldiers in Shanghai, the most in the army, the navy, pilots have" Rouse agreed very happily.
"Oh, in this way, Law, you help me get some old-fashioned planes, tanks, large-caliber artillery, this is not much, the same ten or eight, you help me find some soldiers from all branches of the military, I need some instructors" Meng Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, at this time, the military theory and military strength of the German army are still very powerful, especially the German soldiers are rigid, they are the first choice to be instructors, they will teach military movements over and over again until you learn.
"How much do you want, there are quite a few German soldiers in Shanghai now" Rouse was still happy to help the Germans in China.
"Fifteen of them, fifteen of each branch, such as artillery, tank soldiers, pilots, etc., all of them, if there are technicians, I also want them I am recruiting technicians and engineers now, as long as I have a skill, I want it, this is not limited to the number of people, how many, how much" Meng Chang looked at the recruiter, and also entrusted it to Rouse, after all, he was familiar with the Germans, so it was easier to recruit a little. The two chatted about the day's kung fu, and the people had already arrived.
This is Liu Qinghou coming to Meng Chang's side. whispered to him that John came with Rockefeller's people, Meng Chang asked Liu Qinghou to bring Rouse and Rockefeller's people to the small private room, and Rouse went to the big private room to talk to the others first.
After a while, John came in with a young man, looking younger than Meng Chang, he should not be twenty years old, with a high nose, blue eyes, and curly golden hair, with immaturity and vitality.
"Hello Mistermont, that's what I told you, heir to the Rockefeller family, Harvey. Rockefeller "Rouse stepped forward and introduced" Harvey, this is what I told you, the new tycoon of Shanghai Tang, Mist Meng, Meng Chang"
"Hello, Harvey, welcome to beautiful Shanghai," Meng Chang stood up and shook Harvey's hand, to be honest, Meng Chang's first impression of Harvey was good.
"Hello, Mistermont, I took the liberty to visit you, and I beg your pardon for the inconvenience." Harvey said, a little embarrassed: "However, I can't help it, you know, I came to China as the general manager of Mobil Oil Far East, this position is not easy to do, now the import volume of oil in China is very small, mainly some kerosene or something, are some small orders, if this continues, it is difficult for me to make results." I heard about Mist Meng by chance, so I took the liberty to visit, please don't be surprised" Harvey is very polite, but behind the politeness there is also the domineering of large multinational monopolies.
"Oh, this is nothing, do business, the more friends, the stronger the better, welcome you." Meng Chang politely gave the two of them aisle to their seats.
"I don't know how Mr. Harvey is going to work with me."
"Mistermeng, I think so, first of all, I cooperate with you personally, in one that, that is, in your newly established company, I plan to invest, capital is not a problem, I want to ask for more shares" Harvey thought clearly when he came, if he wants to do business with Meng Chang, he must account for a large amount of shares in the newly established company, so that he can have the right to speak.
"Oh, well, these are two things, first of all, I personally really enjoy working with Mobil Oil, and this is no problem. The second is the newly established company, the current shares are like this, John ten points, Rouse ten points, Joseph ten points, the shares originally reserved for Lawrence, yesterday morning, he refused me, at noon, my good friend Mr. Mu Ouchu asked for five points, and now there are five points left" Meng Chang saw that Harvey wanted to speak, waved his hand, and continued.
"Don't worry, listen to me, my newly established company originally had two pieces of business, one was my personal procurement, and the other was the commodity export and patent application of my company. Later, I considered that my personal piece is my personal use, and it is better for me to deal with you directly through the company, so that the new company will have a piece of business left, so if you are cooperating with me personally, there is actually no need to occupy a stake in the new company" Meng Chang finished speaking, picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, looking at Harvey.
"In this way, Mister Meng, the first purpose of my coming today is not the most important thing for me, after all, oil is our Mobil Oil's strength, I don't have to care about this, my main purpose today is to join your newly established company, if this can be successful, this is the result of my personal efforts, Mr. Meng Chang, please help a lot" Harvey, thought for a while, and said to Meng Chang a little solemnly, Harvey is now in a very bad situation in the family, and no one is optimistic about him now, If he can't make great achievements in the past few years, he will only be a gentleman in the future, and he will have no chance to grasp the power of the family at all.
After Harvey's words, Meng Chang and John were surprised, they didn't expect Harvey to have so much confidence in Meng Chang. Meng Chang looked at it, there was no way.
"Mr. Harvey, I also want to say that I am the largest shareholder of the company I established, this is a must, and I have absolute rights to the company, I personally have some principles, this we have not dealt with each other, you don't know much about this, so after the company is established in the future, I will have some special regulations and a veto. So, do you still want to join? Meng Chang finally had no choice but to say the bottom line.
"There is no problem with this, since the company you set up must be set up by you, and within the rules, we can develop" Harvey looked at Meng Chang and refused to let him join, the more he wanted to join, this kid was a bit of a bull, and Meng Chang was on the same page.
