Chapter 392: Layout of European and American Harvest (3)
In addition to Song Zhewen as the chairman of the board of directors of the subordinate Xinghua Chemical Company Song. In addition to DuPont Co., Ltd., in the United States, Xinghua also has a Song family, which is also chaired by Song Zhewen. Calvin. Marconi Electronics AG.
The terms of the joint venture are almost the same as those of DuPont, except that the products that Song Zhewu has taken out are radios, refrigerators, air conditioners, and airborne radio communication devices that are still in the experimental improvement stage, and the three parties also plan to set up a joint laboratory in Taiyuan.
The company was founded on Song Zhewu's initiative, and the two partners were Calvin Electronics, headquartered in Chicago, and Marconi Wireless Telegraph, Britain.
Although these two companies are not very famous now, Song Zhewu knows that in a few decades, these two companies will be well-known large multinational companies in the world's telecommunications industry.
Calvin Electronics, which is later known as the world's leader in chip manufacturing and electronic communications - Motorola.
It's just that at this time, Calvin Company was still a small company with little name, and in the United States it was still a small company that was struggling to maintain itself in a crisis.
Calvin & Co., a company that produced radios was founded in Chicago by Paul Calvin and his brother Joseph Calvin in 28 years. However, just a year after its founding, Calvin narrowly escaped bankruptcy by introducing battery substitutes that allowed battery-powered radios to be used on standard household electricity, but it also made little money. Although they are developing a car radio, the market prospect after development is still not visible.
Xinghua Electronics' radios are powered by alternating current from the beginning, especially the circuit design is novel and unique, with its own patented technology, and the sound quality is better than their products. Because it is not powered by more expensive batteries, it is very suitable for ordinary household use, and the performance in the market will definitely be better.
With this radio, the Calvin brothers decided that the company would have no problem surviving this chilling crisis. The use of Xinghua's airborne radio communication device is the same as the use of the vehicle-mounted radio station they are studying, and it can also make up for each other in terms of technology, and it can also be greatly advanced in terms of development time, if the military can procure it, not to mention that it will not be a problem to survive the economic crisis, and even make a lot of money, no one will refuse such a good thing, so the two sides hit it off.
The British Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, which was already a well-known company at this time, was a company specializing in the design and manufacture of radio electronic equipment, and its technical strength was very strong, and the BBC was founded by them, and it was also very interested in Schmidt's AC radio and airborne radio communication devices.
With Marconi's help, whether it is a radio or a car radio, it will be more mature in technology, and all three parties have enough understanding of this.
In addition, both companies are fully aware of the huge business opportunities in the two "new" products, air conditioners and refrigerators, and if these two products can be brought to market, it is believed that even in the current crisis period, it is believed that they will make a lot of money, and the "money" is unspeakable.
The reason why Song Zhewu chose these two companies as partners is because Song Zhewu attaches great importance to the development prospects of these two companies, and they are the most advanced companies in the world in terms of radio communication and radar technology, and radio communication and radar technology are urgently needed by Song Zhewu.
By cooperating with these two companies, we will not only have priority access to their most advanced radio technology, but will also be able to train our own electronics talents through joint research and development.
Song Zhewu and Li Rujuan have not seen each other for more than 9 months since the Spring Festival, as the saying goes, "a long absence is better than a newlywed", although the two are not married, they are already lovers in love, and they miss the newlyweds more closely.
Therefore, under the pretext of listening to Li Rujuan's report, Song Zhewu put down many affairs in his hand and hid in his bedroom and was very affectionate with Li Rujuan all day......
However, to say that Song Zhewu is completely fake and selfish, he has also been wronged a little, and after the two confessed their heartfelt feelings to each other, they inevitably talked about work again.
Li Rujuan told Song Zhewu that she had met the former commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht in Germany. Feng. General Seckert.
According to Hans. Feng. Seckert said that General Weizel, the current head of the German Army Advisory Corps in China, was the head of the Operations Division of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht. Feng. Seckert has learned a little about your victory in the reconquest of Northern Mongolia and Manchuria, including what you have done in Northern Mongolia, and he is now very interested. ”
"Hans. Feng. General Seckert has fought with the Soviet army, and he has a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army, although he thinks that the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army at this time has been weakened, but for a weapon to lag behind the Soviet army, the squadron is still very strong, can destroy 40,000 enemies, he thinks it is very remarkable, he is proud that the German [***] school can train a soldier like you! ”
"Hans. Feng. General Seckert was amazed at how you could build such a powerful force as the Fourth Route Army in such a short period of time, and thought that our Fourth Route Army would be the foundation and seed of a stronger army in the future, just like the 100,000 German Wehrmacht that he had painstakingly built. ”
"He also thinks that having a unit like our Fourth Route Army in Northern Mongolia is a very important deterrent force for the Soviet army, and he is very willing to help us. In addition, he introduced the meeting between General Falkenhausen, the current director of the Dresden Infantry School, and me. ”
"When I was in Germany this time, almost all the agreements on the manufacture of weapons and the contracts involving the military industry were Hans. Feng. General Seckert stepped in to help thread the needle. And because of Hans. Feng. With Seckert's help, several German fire companies, including Krupp and Rheinmetall, were willing to trade with us, otherwise alloy steel, heavy artillery technology, and tank technology, they would not have sold us. In addition, more than 200 retired German engineers and technicians who came to China this time were also helped to liaise with General Falkenhausen. ”
Song Zhewu knew that Hans. Feng. Seckert, the former commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, had a very high prestige in the German army, and people promoted him alongside the legendary Moltke and Schlieffen in the German army. It is believed that it was Seckert who, in the ashes of World War I, painstakingly rebuilt 100,000 German Army.
The elite small military force he had built up, in which every element and cell was arranged was extremely complete and substantial, and could be expanded indefinitely when the time was right. He trained every soldier as the backbone of future leadership and command operations, and trained every officer as a future commander-in-chief. It was he who saved the fire for the German army when it was on the verge of extinction, and he was also known as the "father of the Wehrmacht" and "the outstanding founder of the Wehrmacht".
The current principal of the Dresden Infantry School in Germany, Falkenhausen, helped China a lot before and during the Anti-Japanese War, and in Song Zhewu's previous life, there was even a view that the concept of protracted war was first put forward by Falkenhausen.
These two Germans had a very good impression of China, especially at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, after the Battle of Taierzhuang, when Hitler was forced by the pressure of the book to strictly order the German army advisory group headed by Falkenhausen to return to China, Falkenhausen also united with the members of the advisory group to collectively write a letter to the German political axe asking to continue to stay in China in a private capacity. In the end, they had no choice but to return home after Hitler was punished for treason if he did not return home.
Before leaving, Falkenhausen and others assured Chinese officials that they would never divulge China's military secrets to the Chinese authorities. In order to prevent other members of the advisory group from leaking secrets to him, he ordered the advisory group to return to China directly without pretending to be true.
Although Song Zhewu did not meet them, including Falkenhausen, because Falkenhausen was the principal of the Dresden Infantry School in 27 years, and Song Zhewu had already returned to China by that time. But for such two upright moral [***] people, Song Zhewu has always respected them from the bottom of his heart, and Song Zhewu is very happy that Li Rujuan can get in touch with them.
It would have been absolutely beneficial if these two men had helped to support him and to establish close ties with the German [***] industrial community.
The road was bumpy, and although Li Rujuan was very tired, she still cooked by herself.
In order to take better care of Song Zhewu in the future, she returned to Shanghai during the Spring Festival this time, and specially invited a chef from the north to teach her to cook northern food.
After having dinner in an atmosphere full of love and spring love, Li Rujuan was reluctant to leave, and Li Rujuan hesitated for a long time at the door, and finally made up her mind, blushed, and told Song Zhewu that her parents were urging her to get married early.
Regarding the feelings of Li Rujuan's parents, Song Zhewu understands them very well. But now is really not the time, now Shanxi has just stabilized, if he just wants to maintain the status quo, it will be easy to do, but he wants to turn the area under his control into a base for the anti-Japanese war in the future, it can be said that many things are in ruins, and some even have to start again, now the "918" incident is getting closer and closer, Song Zhewu even wants to divide himself into two halves to use, he really has no time to get married.
In particular, the North Mongolian side will have to directly face the attack of the Kwantung Army next year, and it is even likely to face the threat of the Soviet army at the same time. And the defense fortifications in North Mongolia are only a prototype, and they still need to be actively prepared for war.
And all of this requires him, the head of the Fourth Route Army, to personally deploy and arrange, and now the main leaders of the Fourth Route Army, including Xiao Guodong and Tao Rong, are very busy, and it is really unreasonable to hold their own wedding at this time.
However, Song Zhewu did not want to delay this matter for too long, and he had to solve this problem before the start of the Anti-Japanese War.
After carefully explaining to Li Rujuan, Song Zhewu asked Li Rujuan to tell his parents that by June next year, many things would be cleared up at that time, and it would not be too late for them to get married.
Getting Song Zhewu's accurate reply, this made Li Rujuan's excited face flushed with happiness, glared at Song Zhewu shyly, turned around and rushed out of the room, and returned to Xinghua's own residence......
