Chapter 138: You're Not Dead?

Wang Sirui frowned tightly, sixty mechanics, is there only one old driver?

As for those who were laid off by the factory, do you still need to think about this reason? It must be that the technology is not up to par, and the factory has lost the confidence to continue to train them.

But as long as there are people, even if it is a mechanic who has been laid off by the factory, it is much better than the natives, right?

At the very least, as long as someone leads them, they can still produce weapons and equipment. And most of the natives don't even know a word, and they still need someone to teach them by hand, although this is a step that will be taken sooner or later, but at least not now.

The Chileans can no longer act as intermediaries, and Wang Sirui must set up the engineering factory as soon as possible, otherwise his troops will lose all supplies, which is the most deadly.

As for other worker issues, this Wang Sirui also has an idea.

At present, Europe is about to enter the stage of the arms race, and all countries attach more importance to the military industry, so they will not be able to poach those good technicians for a while.

However, the United States on the other side of the ocean is a completely different scene, because of its natural and unique geographical location, and there are no strong enemies around, so the life of the Americans is relatively stable.

Of course, this is not the fundamental reason for Wang Sirui to hit the Americans with his ideas.

The most fundamental reason is that just this year, oh no, it should have been last year, that is, in 00, an economic crisis broke out in the United States, which led to the layoff of countless workers and the bankruptcy of factories.

Although the Americans have thought of many ways to solve this problem, the current effect is not very ideal.

If we go to the United States to buy equipment and recruit workers at this time, even if the US government has any ideas, it will not interfere in order to solve the problem of the economic crisis.

After sending Juan away, Wang Sirui did not leave, but continued to sit here and wait.

As for why Wang Sirui didn't change places, it was because there was no need.

Because the entire teahouse has been covered by Wang Sirui, in the private rooms on the second floor, there are five or six soldiers armed with revolvers hidden in each private room, and the lobby downstairs is also full of soldiers in civilian clothes.

Originally, he didn't want to show up so soon, but because of some changes, Wang Sirui had to show up in advance.

About an hour later, the box door was pushed open again, and Juan went and returned, followed by a white man who looked like a little different, if he had to find the gap, except for the older man in the back, all that was left was bearded.

"You ......" Rou Keyi looked at Wang Sirui who was sitting there drinking tea quietly, his eyes were full of shock, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Sirui, and couldn't open his mouth for a long time.

"Your Excellency, it's an honor to meet you." Wang Sirui also changed his previous attitude, stood up and welcomed with a smile.

"It's amazing that you're not dead." Rou Keyi said with surprise, but at this moment his expression had returned to normal.

To be able to do the position of consul of a country, Rou Keyi is not an ordinary person, and there was also a controversy about Wang Sirui's death, and the representatives of the eleven countries were also controversial, but later because Wang Sirui did not show up, and his troops were also taking revenge on bandits everywhere, which also made the eleven countries a little relieved.

"Hehe, if you can live, why die? Is it just for the rotten court? Wang Sirui smiled and asked rhetorically without any reservations.

"Aren't you going to invite me to sit down for a cup of tea?" Rou Keyi said half-jokingly.

Now that Wang Sirui has already shown up and invited him here, then at least it is certain that Wang Sirui will never have any ill intentions towards him, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to assassinate?

And since Wang Sirui called himself here alone, I am afraid that there should be some reluctant invitation.

Thinking of this, Rou Keyi was also a lot more relieved, as for whether to tell others about Wang Sirui's life, it was up to him to decide what he would talk to Wang Sirui.

"It was my negligence!" Wang Sirui hurriedly gave up his seat, and Juan also sat down.

For foreign affairs, Wang Sirui needs to have a spokesperson, which is unquestionable, because Wang Sirui has no way to come forward in a short time.

And Juan, a partner who has worked together several times, is also a good choice. When the time comes, it is enough to resign from your position in Chile.

"Aren't you afraid that I will leak the news that you are still alive?" Although he had already guessed Wang Sirui's intentions, Rou Keyi still asked jokingly.

"Of course I'm afraid, my main force is not here, and if Your Excellency leaks the news that I am still alive, I don't think I will be able to leave here alive. But I'm sure you won't. Wang Sirui squinted his eyes slightly and responded with a half-smile.

"Oh? Why? I'm curious, what is it that gives you so much confidence? Rou Keyi asked with interest.

In fact, he had long wanted to see Wang Sirui, but he never had a chance, and later Wang Sirui was killed by many parties, and Rou Keyi had no chance.

It's just that now he finally met Wang Sirui, and for this person who is full of magic, Rou Keyi is full of curiosity.

"My greatest confidence is in you." Wang Sirui said more vaguely.

"Me?" Rou Keyi wondered, and secretly said in his heart, what does this mean?

"Of course it's you, I can send you to the presidency of the United States, no matter how bad it is, it's up to you to be in the position of vice president." Wang Sirui said with a smile.

"What?" Rou Keyi was shocked by Wang Sirui's words, and then kept shaking his head, muttering in his mouth: "This is impossible, the president is not something I can do if I want to, even if it is the vice president." ”

"What if I could help you solve America's economic crisis?" Wang Sirui continued to smile and said.

If an American politician can solve the big problem of the economic crisis, then as long as he has the courage to stand up and run for president of the United States, then there is still a good chance of success.

As for the consortia behind the president of the United States, this is not really a problem, as long as the president guarantees fairness, justice, openness, can protect the interests of those conglomerates, and helps them expand their wealth, then they have no reason to prevent him from ascending to power.

This matter seems to be really difficult, at least in terms of Wang Sirui's current strength and position, it is impossible to do this, but Wang Sirui has his own reliance, and he is absolutely sure that he can do this.

"This ......" Rou Keyi was stunned, if the economic crisis in the United States can really be solved, then it is not impossible for Rou Keyi to be the vice president.

Only, is this possible?

"I think Your Excellency should be very interested in finding out the whereabouts of the 190 million taels of silver and countless antiques that disappeared in the capital, right?" Wang Sirui continued.

"What? You ......," Rou Keyi continued to be shocked.

No one thought that Wang Sirui would swallow the money alone, because everyone knew that Wang Sirui would not dare to do that at all.

Therefore, in the end, the money will definitely fall into the hands of the Qing court.

This is why they dared to directly ask for 450 million taels of compensation, and they were not allowed to bargain with the Qing court.

But now that Wang Sirui told him the specific amount of money, does it still need to guess the meaning? Even with his toes, he could think that this money must have fallen into Wang Sirui's hands.

That's 190 million taels of silver, 133 million dollars, what a lot. Even if this money does not extricate the United States from the economic crisis, it will at least alleviate the social fears caused by the economic crisis.

That's going to solve at least 200,000 jobs or so, and what does 200,000 jobs mean in such an environment? Even if you think about it with your toes, Rou Keyi can also think of it.

Wang Sirui did not give Rou Keyi more time to think about this issue, because he had to find a great power to maintain a cooperative relationship, and this cooperative relationship had to be strong.

On the side of the European powers, Wang Sirui will not consider it for the time being, only the United States, which is in the midst of an economic crisis and the world's second-rate powers, is the real object of Wang Sirui's cooperation.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Sirui continued: "What if you add the Chinese market? ”

Rou Keyi looked up at Wang Sirui, his eyes full of shock.

"Cash, plus a market of 400 million people, that's enough to save the United States, and if you can do that, I don't think anyone but yourself can stop you from taking the throne."

"No, you don't have the strength at all, and you don't have the right." Rou Keyi seemed to come to his senses, and shook his head violently in denial.

Wang Sirui is just a person with only 10,000 troops in his hands, although there are many cases, but for such a large country, it is still very insufficient.

"It may take some time for the market of 400 million people, but don't forget that I have cash in my hands. As long as you agree to cooperate, I can now place an order to the United States. Wang Sirui said in high spirits.

Yes, Wang Sirui has money in his hands, although it may be a little illusory to open the Chinese market, but at least the money in Wang Sirui's hands can help solve a lot of jobs in the United States.

After a long time, after weighing the pros and cons, Rou Keyi raised his head, looked at Wang Sirui and replied: "I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right now, I need to report this matter to China." ”

"Yes, but I only have one week, and if you don't get back to me after a week, then I'll have to go to another country." Wang Sirui nodded, and did not forget to scare Rou Keyi on his deathbed.

Of course, in fact, Wang Sirui knows very well that it is impossible for Americans to refuse him, because opening up the Chinese market is exactly what Americans dream of.

If you can get an order worth tens of millions of dollars from the Chinese market, then it can be regarded as opening the Chinese market in another way, which is better than nothing, which is a good thing for the United States, isn't it? (To be continued.) )
