Chapter Ninety-Four: Submarines

I looked at the factory machinery with hope, and I didn't want to be blocked by a group of American workers. www.biquge.info has been in the United States for 20 years, and Li Guoqin, who is familiar with the power of American workers, is very panicked. It's just that Chen Jiliang and the others haven't left, so he has no choice but to hide behind a few people, reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

Li Guoqin panicked, but Lin Xianxin glanced at Zhi Bingyuan with a smile, which means that your time to play is up - the side effects of Roosevelt's New Deal ended in 1938, and the White House had to reduce the size of the public welfare factory, which made the United States full of unemployed workers, and some factories that had lasted for several years, like Stuart, had to go bankrupt and auction during this time. This is the case with the Todd Pacific Shipyard, the Oregon Shipyard, and the Maine Bath Iron Plant, which were previously acquired by New China Defense.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, listen to me......" Zhi Bingyuan naturally stepped forward, this is a good opportunity for him to get the support of the union to lower the price (in Li Kongrong's words, such an opportunity will disappear completely in five months, so he has to speed up the acquisition of the factory). We bought this plant, not to move it, but to buy a new machine to rebuild it! Gentlemen, as long as Mr. Stewart signs the contract now, you can go to work tomorrow. Yes, I'm talking about tomorrow, not you, but thousands of people. The old machines we don't want in the factory will be shipped to China, otherwise there is no way to install new machines.

Yes, we are Chinese, but now China is suffering from Japanese aggression, this war will last for a long time, and China needs to buy weapons to resist aggression. Xinzhong is a high-tech company with assets of tens of millions of dollars and no liabilities. We're going to build a big aircraft company here, yes, you heard it right, it's an aircraft company, and it's going to produce thousands of new aircraft, and they're going to be bought not only by the Chinese Navy, but also by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy, so you can rest assured about the future work.

I can guarantee that as long as Mr. Stewart signs a contract, most of you will get a higher salary than you used to get, in addition to your job, you know, we are an aircraft company, not an auto parts company. ”

After attracting the interest of the workers, Zhi Bingyuan naturally led the topic to Samuel Stuart, who was sweating all over his head, and he said in front of everyone: "Mr. Stuart, I already know about this factory, although there are many places that are not as you introduced, but we still decided to buy it." Okay, please quote your price, and we'll negotiate the acquisition now. ”

The workers' eyes were on Zhi Bingyuan's side at first, and they were skeptical of his promise, but their dress and speech made them unable to find flaws. Now that Zhi Bingyuan suddenly discussed the acquisition issue in front of everyone, the workers who didn't care whether it was true or false immediately looked at Stewart, in their opinion, as long as Stuhl's head was raised, he would be employed immediately.

"Mister......" When Zhi Bingyuan stabilized the workers, Stewart Khan had already sweated and was now wiping, but as soon as Zhi Bingyuan's words turned to him, he began to sweat on his forehead again. It's not appropriate for us to negotiate an acquisition here. ”

"There's nothing out of place." Zhi Bingyuan said with a smile, "You offer a price, I think it's suitable, I agree, if it's not suitable, I bargain, if you don't agree, then," Zhi Bingyuan said, "I have to go to Massachusetts, where there is also a big factory that goes bankrupt." Well, Mr. Stewart, there are so many people notarizing this deal, make your price. ”

"Damn it, make your price!" Several of the workers shouted, which made Stewart even more anxious.

"One hundred and fifteen...... Four hundred thousand dollars. Stuart's eyebrows were already pressed together, he had never talked about business in such a situation, and it was such an important business, so he was in a mess.

When the white lawyer next to him was about to stop Stuart after the offer, Zhi Bingyuan raised his voice and said, "Deal!" One million four thousand dollars. He then looked at the workers, "Congratulations, gentlemen, you will have work tomorrow!" ”

"Oh my God!" Everyone thought that the Chinese would bargain, but they did not expect Zhi Bingyuan to say the deal without hesitation, and the workers immediately cheered, and they felt that all this was like a dream.

When the workers high-fived each other, Zhi Bingyuan had already written the cash check, and the accompanying lawyer took out the transaction contract, and he said loudly again: "Mr. Stuart, please sign this, and after signing, this cash check for $1.4 million will be yours." It is a great honor to make this agreement with you. ”

The people around him were about to persuade him not to sign, but he shook his head in disappointment as he looked at the workers who hugged the joy, took the pen and finally signed the contract.

"Brother Aizhou, you just, just buy this factory?" The others spoke in a low voice, and Shi Jiurong, who couldn't understand it at all, asked Zhi Bingyuan quietly. "Aren't you afraid of being deceived?"

"Our accountants had already assessed the value of the plant before we came." Zhi Bingyuan said. "It's probably worth that much money. Besides, time is of the essence, and we can't talk about buying a factory for months, and we don't have time. ”

"You bought the factory, so what should I do?" Shi Jiurong looked at Zhi Bingyuan in a daze for a while before remembering his own affairs, Stuart took the check and left, he didn't understand who to talk to about business with now.

"Talk to us." Zhi Bingyuan said with a smile, "The contract is very clear, after he signs it, everything on this land will belong to the New China Defense American Company." Brother Jiurong, how much are you going to spend on these machines? ”

"I," compared to Zhi Bingyuan's courage just now, Shi Jiurong, the director of the Fourth Branch of the Central Machinery Factory, did not dare to make a contract, he smiled and said: "You don't want to buy new machines, these rags will be given to our Central Machinery Factory." ”

"This is a company asset, I just agree, and the company's CFO and CLO will not agree." Zhi Bingyuan can't help it.

Of course, Shi Jiurong, the abbreviation of "CFO, CLO ......" from later generations can't understand it, these are actually planned by Li Kongrong, and he has also taken a lot of messy certificates, and the organizational structure of multinational companies is still clear.

Shi Jiurong was still thinking about these two abbreviations, and Zhi Bingyuan said to the white man behind him: "George, come on." Them," Zhi Bingyuan pointed at Shi Jiurong and said, "If you want to buy these machines that we don't want, you can talk to them." ”

Zhi Bingyuan looked like a boss, and Chen Jiliang, who witnessed the whole process, was also a little surprised - he had not participated in the acquisition negotiations before, and the factory with an area of several square miles was bought in a few words, and then seeing that all the people accompanying him were happy, it seemed that he had taken advantage of it again.

"This battle is fought beautifully, and Aizhou is becoming more and more Hansheng." Lin Xianxi looked at the huge factory building behind him and was very satisfied.

"The taste of Hansheng?" Chen Jiliang smiled bitterly when he thought of Li Kongrong, he was not only a robber, but also a reckless man.

"yes. According to Hansheng, Europe is about to go to war, we have to step up acquisitions, and as soon as Europe goes to war, people like Stuart will have to wait and see. Lin Xianxin fully believes in Li Kongrong's judgment of the world situation, so he has this statement.

"He'd better fish them out first." Chen Jiliang didn't understand business operations, he just felt that recklessness was not good for the navy.

The United States' New China Defense has bought another company, and Li Kongrong, who is in Berlin, naturally does not know, and even if he knows about it, he will not say anything. His instructions to Zhi Bingyuan and others were to buy, mortgage after the acquisition, and put the mortgaged money into the stock market and foreign exchange market at the end of August, and wait for the stock market fluctuations caused by the war in Europe to pass, and then withdraw the funds that made a lot of money to buy valuable factories on a large scale. Then, these acquired factories were re-integrated, merged, spun off, injected, packaged, and finally took advantage of the spring breeze of the European war to go public and make a lot of money under the touting of Wall Street stockbrokers. The plan is always perfect, but there will always be problems when it comes to execution, but that is later, and Li Kongrong is in trouble now.

"You are Li Kongrong?" In the reception room of the Berlin Police Station, Li Kongrong and Tan Boyu sat and waited for a while, when suddenly two people dressed in Japanese naval uniforms walked in.

"Who are you?" Li Kongrong squinted at him, without the slightest intention of getting up, not only did he not get up, but he also pulled down Tan Boyu, who was about to get up.

"It doesn't matter who I am." The head of the Japanese officer was a golden epaulette with a chrysanthemum embroidered on it, which was a major general. It's just that Li Kongrong didn't look at his epaulettes carefully, but felt that the cap badge of the Japanese Navy was so similar to a pig's nose. "The important thing is that I know what you're going to do." Speaking of this, the Japanese rear admiral smiled, "It's a pity that the submarine you are waiting for has not been launched. ”

"You ......" Li Kongrong jumped up in shock, he only spat out a word and couldn't help it, and then the Germans came in.

"You're Colonel Lee?" Eichmann looked at Li Kongrong and then at Hideo Kojima, the Japanese naval attachΓ©, who had apparently already talked. "Colonel Lee, I hope to talk to you."

"Sir, we are going to see Mr. Haydolph from the police station," Tan Boyu, who saw that the situation was not good, immediately stood up and spoke. "I would also like to remind you that Colonel Lee is a naval attache in Germany, and he enjoys diplomatic immunity."

"Of course, I know, of course I know that Colonel Lee has diplomatic immunity." Eichmann said, "I just wanted to talk to Colonel Lee alone. After he finished speaking, he emphasized: "Mr. Counselor, you have found a lot of big people, but before releasing those naval cadets, I want to talk to Colonel Lee. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it then." Li Kongrong looked at Eichmann, and then at Hideo Kojima, his heart had fallen to the bottom.

"Then I'll take my leave." Hideo Kojima couldn't hide his smile, bowed slightly and took his leave.

In the separate office, there were no interrogators or typists, just Eichmann and Li Kongrong. "Mr. Colonel, why are you buying weapons? Is it really like the Japanese general Kojima said, to hijack those two submarines? ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Li Kongrong lit a cigarette and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"I think it's quite possible, it's a really good idea." Eichmann laughed, the more he looked at it, the more false it became. "Before General Kojima and I talked about it, I didn't think that you were buying weapons for this purpose. Mr. Colonel, you have been in Germany for two years, and you have made many acquaintances, so you should know that our government will not deliver those two submarines to you, and this is in the interest of our allies. ”

"Germany's alliance with Japan was a huge mistake." Li Kongrong avoided talking about submarines, he simply did not understand how the Japanese guessed his intentions, could it be that they had been following and eavesdropping on him?

"Error?" Eichmann looked like he was in a position to win, "It is a mistake for China and Japan to go to war, and the right thing to do is to immediately agree to Japan's demands in order to obtain a long-lost peace." ”

"Peace?" Li Kongrong smiled, "It's better to say it's slavery." It is a pity that the Chinese government and China. Although the army has a lot of straw bales, straw bales are also more dignified than slaves. Sir, Mr. Counsellor and I are here to bail our cadets out if you have anything else to do......"

"Don't talk to me in that tone." Eichmann pounded the table in displeasure, "I know what you're up to!" It's a pity that those two submarines didn't go into the water, and you can't do anything but throw away those weapons and roll back to China with your ass between them. ”

"It's just your guess......," Li Kongrong stared at his blue pupils, "and the slander of the Japanese!" Our cadets have nothing to do with those weapons at all, we were just ordered to come to Germany to study, to prepare to receive the built submarines, but the situation has changed, you have broken your word, so we are going to return home. I don't know why the police would arrest our trainees before they leave the country, this is extremely disrespectful, and our government will seriously protest against this! ”

Li Kongrong had already made up his mind at this time to refuse to admit his guilt, hearing him say this, Eichmann grinded his teeth angrily, but no matter how much he grinded, he did not get any valuable information during the interrogation night, and yesterday he did not find any evidence, and in the morning there were even big people who called the police station to interfere in this matter, and he had to release people.

"I'm going to keep an eye on you rats and get you all out!" Eichmann snorted to his feet, then slammed the door and left.

The Germans were angry and Li Kongrong was not worried, through the shutters, he saw that Lin Zhun and others were taken out by the police, but the strange thing was that Gao Guangyou, who was staying in the naval dormitory, came for some reason.

"Han Sheng, Chief ......" Seeing Li Kongrong walking out of the office, Lin Zhun and Jiang Jing and others immediately looked over, they were frightened all night, and finally came out of prison at this time.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Kongrong took their hands and said, and then asked everyone to thank Tan Boyu, but Tan Boyu was still in the director's office and did not come out, so he had to say, "Let's get in the car first, eat when you are hungry, go back to the dormitory to sleep when you are sleepy, and return to China tomorrow after resting." ”

Li Kongrong was happy in his heart, and Lin Zhun and the nine people were also happy to be released, only Gao Guangyou, who came strangely, seemed to have something to say and stopped, and only when everyone got into the car, he Li Kongrong whispered in his ear: "Hansheng, we have a submarine."
