Chapter 87, Macau Fengyun 1
Five million pounds is not much for Lu Qiang, according to the value of the pound at that time, a ton of gold was about 830,000 pounds, or even higher, after all, "gold in troubled times".
In other words, Lu Qiang only needs about six tons of gold to get it, and the price of gold in the system is very cheap, and Lu Qiang only needs to spend dozens of war points to exchange for six tons of gold.
This made Lu Qiang sigh again, for Mao he was not in peacetime, otherwise he could have set foot in the world's richest man with so much gold and buy the whole world.
But now in troubled times, there is nowhere to spend money in hand, and there is no corresponding strong force, how to protect this gold? Today's Lu Qiang, money is indeed inferior to dung for him, and dung can at least fertilize the land, except for the golden good-looking, there is no use for eggs. He has all the weapons and equipment industries, and he doesn't need gold, and he doesn't bother to pick it up when he throws it on the ground, and he has to bend down to pick it up, which costs more calories.
At first, the mustache also frowned when he saw the price proposed by Portugal, which was beyond his budget, but he didn't make a counteroffer, and immediately gave this offer to Lu Qiang.
To the surprise of the mustache, the one from the Far East actually agreed with one mouthful, and said that it would be settled in gold, which made the mustache a little surprised by the wealth of the Far East, and the other party, a small "warlord", was so rich. In the eyes of the mustache, Lu Qiang is a warlord leader, but he doesn't care, as long as the other party is in his interests.
After that, it was negotiated and signed, which required the two sides to meet, and the Portuguese side directly handed over the matter to the Macao consul, who signed a contract with Lu Qiang, and then brought back the gold.
This time the purchase of Macau, it seems, as if Lu Qiang lost, but for Lu Qiang, it is not, although he can take back Macao by force, but then things will definitely become very troublesome, and the war points spent by force are at least tens of thousands, and if you buy it, it only costs a few dozen war points, and there are no follow-up problems to accept Macao.
So once it can be regarded as the mutual benefit of Lu Qiang, Portugal and Germany, everyone got what they wanted, and it was so much better than fighting.
The next thing is Hong Kong, but judging from the current Japanese army, the possibility of them attacking Hong Kong is extremely low, which means that Lu Qiang can't eat meat behind the Japanese army, and he has to face the British.
Maybe it would be nice to sell equipment to Britain and get it back to Hong Kong, but that would have to wait until all Europe was opened, but it was also soon, and the real war was coming in April, and the Polish campaign was just a dessert before that, followed by an appetizer. The main meal had to wait until July, when Germany attacked Britain and dragged Britain into the water completely.
When Europe is in chaos, it will be convenient for Lu Qiang to make war money and sell weapons to Europe, although Lu Qiang does not look down on this money, but it can be used to exchange some colonies from the British, such as Hong Kong, such as Australia.
However, if Britain does not go to the Tao, he does not mind using force, and Britain, which is caught in the flames of war, has no time to care about those colonies.
It has been less than a week since he returned to Dawang Village, Lu Qiang is going to Guangdong, this time he will not take the train, the last time the Japanese spies bombed the train, he was a little frightened, for fear that they would come again, although the possibility is extremely low, but he has to guard against it.
Boarding the helicopter, Lu Qiang took a group of people and six tons of gold and immediately rushed to Guangdong to prepare to sign a treaty.
"Commander, this time the successful recovery of the colony is the first time since the Qing Dynasty, do you want to find a reporter to publicize it?" Bai Yiren asked.
"Propaganda is a fart, do you know how to make a fortune in a muffled voice? We don't engage in that kind of politics, and besides, it's not a small matter, and if we don't need to publicize it, there will be reporters running like flies. Lu Qiang shook his head and said disdainfully.
Then he continued: "What I'm worried about is what if the bald side shamelessly asks for Macau like us, give it or not, or tear its face. Uh, wait, he shouldn't have the guts to reach out to me. ”
"It's not clear." Bai Yiren shook his head, quite speechless at the brain hole of his boss.
"I don't think so, otherwise there would be so many warlords." Lu Qiang nodded to himself, as if he was sure of this.
"Boss, what do you want to do so much, if he dares to reach out and knock his claws off, their army is our opponent." Hu Zhuang, who was sitting opposite Lu Qiang, put on an expression that you thought too much.
"Oh, I've thought too much, so let's talk about Macau." Lu Qiang nodded.
The place where the agreement was signed this time was on the border of Macao, and the two sides have already sent troops to settle in to eliminate all problems.
The Portuguese side also saw the costume of the 41st Group Army for the first time, and was a little surprised, the camouflage uniform had only just come out in European countries, and it had not yet been popularized, so it was equipped here, and it looked good. They had seen other Chinese troops, but compared to them, they were a world apart, although they didn't carry much equipment, only a gun and a few magazines. But the tactical vest made the Portuguese side's eyes light up, and this idea was very good. However, the two sides seem to have a language barrier, and looking at each other's murderous looks, they are full of murderous energy, and it is not easy for the Portuguese people to get in touch.
The Mi-26 heavy helicopter that Lu Qiang and his group took flew directly to the designated place without stopping halfway, so that Portugal could see what the strength of their 41st Group Army was, and the vertical take-off and landing planes were believed to have no country.
Macau is negotiated between Germany and Portugal, it stands to reason that this time the transfer should also be operated by the Germans, but Germany changed hands to this Chinese, which shocked Portugal, although Germany said that it was only for the Chinese side to help deal with it, but the eyes of the Ming people can see that this is obviously to help China claim Macau, I heard that a certain warlord in China has a deep relationship with the mustache, it seems that this is true, but what is there to make friends with this Chinese?
However, the Portuguese side doesn't care about this, as long as they can get the gold, they can say anything, and this chicken rib can shake off their hands, which can not only increase the impression of the mustache on them, but also exchange for a lot of money, why not do it.
The Portuguese magistrate of Macao came early in the morning, out of greed for gold, they had been waiting for a long time, but Lu Qiang's delay in coming made them dissatisfied, thinking about whether to make it difficult for them and let them know who the real protagonist was, otherwise they really didn't take themselves seriously.
