"Oh, dear Jens, please be seated, please be seated! I can assure you, I've missed you more than my coquettish girlfriend during this time. Rogers enthusiastically opened the office door and welcomed Jensen inside. He said to the female secretary next to him, "Go, make a cup of coffee for my most distinguished customer, hurry up." ”

"Put away your set, what, has your company thought about it?" Jens sat down unceremoniously at the opposite table with his briefcase and said with a light smile.

"Of course, after thinking about it, money is everything, and since your company has agreed to the request for a price increase, we will naturally be able to meet your requirements." Rogers chuckled.

"Very well, since you have agreed, then in two days we will formally draw up the contract. Settle the deal once and for all. ”

The brief conversation between the two sides ended quickly.

After a brief conversation with Rogers, Jens left the other party's office and got into the special car that had been prepared outside, and soon arrived in another inconspicuous villa in the east of the city, which was about three stories high.

However, in the ordinary small high-rise outside, the inside is heavily guarded, the outermost is black thugs, the second is white thugs, and the core layer is a few yellow-skinned, not very strong, but the eyes are extremely sharp yellow-skinned security personnel. Although Jens is white, he doesn't dare to be slow about these yellow-skinned security guards, at first the white and black security guards on the periphery also had some friction with the yellow security guards inside, and it seems that the above also intends to let this little conflict go, but since a few white and black security guards have been put down in the hospital for a period of time, the rest of the people have been honest.

"Sir, the order has been negotiated." Instead of being so presumptuous as Rogers was, Jens stood respectfully in front of a middle-aged man who looked a little extravagant, but was only dressed in a plain tunic.

"Well, I know, there will be a special person in charge of the supervision of this batch of engines, and there is something you need to deal with in New York. After signing the contract tomorrow, you can relax for two days and go to New York. Feng Yong nodded.

"Yes, sir." Jens nodded, asked a few more questions, and then went out.

"Even Jens, who usually has a high eye above the top and has always looked down on the Chinese, was cleaned up by Mr. Feng." After Jens left, Situ Meitang walked out of the next room and said with a smile.

"We can pull their family back from the gates of hell, and we can send them in as well. Besides, there are also benevolent people among foreigners, and this Jens's heart is not bad. Otherwise, he would not have been held responsible for these two transactions. ”

Feng Yong smiled indifferently, he had been in the United States for so long, and he was still a little unaccustomed to American coffee, so he poured a cup of tea for Situ Meitang.

Situ Meitang nodded when he heard this, this Jens's younger brother is full of poisons, and he also borrowed usury, even if it is the Meili tip of the later generations, he is stained with underground forces, and the end is very bleak. Not to mention this era.

Not only was Jens's younger brother dismantled by the gangsters, but even Jens's family was involved. To say that this Jens's ability is also good, he ran a small company before, but such a small company is undoubtedly too small in the face of gangsters. was bankrupt by the gangsters, and my sister was arrested and became a little * sister. Unable to repay his heavy debts, the two missing fingers on his hands were chopped off by the axes of the gangsters. The gang even seized his wife and daughter, forcing him to use all means to repay his debts. It's a pity that usury simply eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and no matter how hard he tries, he has to watch the debt continue to rise.

But it was also at this time, by chance, Feng Yong pulled him. And tied up the most ferocious gangsters and sent them to Jens, who was originally just an ordinary person who opened a small company, but under the crazy hatred, Jens used an axe to chop those people into dozens of pieces. From that moment on, Jens became part of the group. Due to his outstanding abilities, he soon became one of the most important white men in the group.

"Since last year, the war in China has been very fierce, but it's a pity that my old bones are useless now, otherwise I will go back to China and compete with the Japanese army." Situ Meitang sighed.

"The big guy is modest, with your body, even a strong man can't help it. Besides, the role played by the bigwigs in the United States is no worse than that of generals on the battlefield. The Commander's industry on the American side needs to be taken care of. Without the foundation laid by Hongmen, even if we have the strength, we will not have the place to use it. Feng Yong shook his head and said.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you, Hongmen has always been attached to his homeland, and now the country has suffered great changes, and the war with the Japanese army is in full swing, Hongmen up and down, all want to contribute to this war. There are some hot-blooded men among the children of Hongmen who want to return to China to participate in the war, hoping that Mr. Feng can answer one or two. Situ Meitang said with a meaning.

"No matter what, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, Hongmen's blood, and the northwest can't pour cold water. However, some factories here in the United States also need to be taken care of by their own people, and the foreigners are not very trustworthy after all, and the number of people returning to China cannot be too much, which will shake our foundation here. ”

Feng Yong thought for a while and said, it is the third time that Hongmen has made such a request, and it seems that it is a bit too much, the reason why the group has been able to develop so quickly in Meilijian in recent years is inseparable from the full funding of Situ Meitang, these Chinese. With penicillin, sulfonamides, sildenafil and other drugs to expand the huge pharmaceutical group, strong ability to absorb gold, as well as some fields that the group has entered under the instruction of Jiang Li in recent years. If it weren't for the group's repeated allocation of a large amount of funds to the northwest for blood transfusion, I am afraid that it would be much different from the major consortia in the United States. However, compared with the largest Rockefeller, the scale of the group is relatively high compared with some second-rate consortia in the United States.

However, the rapid development of the group, in just a few years, if there is no help from Hongmen, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to want to gain a foothold in Meilijian and take root. And Hongmen is not willing to drift abroad all the time, seeing the domestic beacon fire, there is still the idea of returning to the roots. It's really hard to refuse. In the past, Sun had a resolute attitude in drawing a clear line with Hongmen, but the northwest could not do such a chilling thing.

"Okay, okay, I'm ready to go." When Situ Meitang heard Feng Yong's promise, the wrinkles on his face suddenly relaxed, after all, the Kuomintang Party, which had been greatly helped by Hongmen before, later directly refused them from the door. With Feng Yong's approval this time, Situ Meitang knew how hard-won this recognition was.

The people up and down Hongmen are patriotic, even if they are adrift overseas, but they have not stayed out of the crisis in China. Since the founding of the Republic of China, overseas Chinese have squeezed out valuable funds to support the country again and again when they are not well-off. Even after the Republic of China became a general trend, it was directly rejected from the high-level, and later in the Anti-Japanese War, it was still donated again and again, such a group of wanderers just want to return to their homeland one day and have a certain right to speak, and such interests are also very normal. But these Chinese are afraid of being turned away again. In the American tip, they were treated as third-class citizens. If even the country does not agree, it will hurt these enthusiastic Chinese deeply. Regarding this point, Feng Yong and Jiang Li also had an exchange, so Situ Meitang mentioned it, and Feng Yong directly agreed.

"Hurry up, the big guy on the airline's side, the current war in China is very hard. If we can contribute one more, there will be fewer casualties in the country. ”

"The company is expanding now, but we still have to buy other companies, and our own expansion alone is too slow." Situ Meitang said.

"The acquisition is already being discussed, and there is no way to do it, and there is no way to do it if the country has withdrawn so many technical backbones and develops slowly."

Feng Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly, although Jiang Li sent Zeng Yijing and Wang Xiaofeng to the United States to carry out some aircraft manufacturing, most of them were mainly experiments, and they were not mass-manufactured. Later, these people also withdrew to the country in batches, and even the machinery took away a large part of it. Besides, the development of the group to the current scale cannot be exhaustive. Although the group has secretly traded some shares of several aircraft factories, it is still far from the point of controlling it.

"Let's do our best, and besides, isn't the production of the engine negotiated this time?" Situ Meitang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be more difficult than fighting a war at home." After the exchange, the unhappiness in Feng Yong's heart also dissipated a little. This time the engine order was for the Zephyr dive bomber, and the first order was only 300 units, but due to the high requirements, it was not easy to talk about at first, and then the cost of a single engine increased by 300 US dollars, and finally solved the matter.

"Is Mr. Feng's side of the funds sufficient, if not, Hongmen can collect some more. I don't dare to say anything else, one or two hundred engines are still not a problem. ”

In recent years, with the expansion of the group, the Chinese are also the most direct beneficiaries, from the former coolies, to the current pharmaceutical factories, and some other factories of the technical backbone. These Chinese are more hard-working than the local Americans, and what they lack is only a platform, and once they have a suitable platform, they are no worse than the whites. Even better. In recent years, the Chinese have also rapidly accumulated some wealth. In the past, the Kuomintang has also raised donations many times in North America, and now it is no exception, but after all, the two sides have a disagreement, and in addition, Hongmen has moved closer to the northwest in an all-round way, and the funds raised by the Kuomintang in North America are now very limited. However, as long as Situ Meitang comes out, the situation is naturally different.

"Well, then there is Lao Daji. The contribution made by the Chinese will not be forgotten by Northwest China, nor will the group. ”

Feng Yong thought about it for a while, and then finally nodded, although the group's annual profits are amazing, but the stall is big, and money is used everywhere, besides, the engine order is not only on the Meili tip side, the order to Rolls-Royce Engine Company is even more terrifying. There are more than 2,000 units. And in addition, the group spent a lot of money to charter ships, set up a shipping company, invested in a large shipyard, trained shipbuilding technicians, and stuffed some American students in ship design of the Republic of China into it as designers, all of which cost the group a lot of money. Even some shares in the pharmaceutical plant were exchanged. Feng Yong didn't understand Jiang Li's insistence, but out of his trust in Jiang Li, Feng Yong still did it. After all, Jiang Li was standing in a different position, and until now, Feng Yong was quite impressed by Jiang Li's vision.

The order for the Northwest was also thoughtful, and the order for the engine of the bomber went to the American side. The order for the Wyvern fighter engine was placed with Rolls-Royce Engines.

Jiang Li is not worried about technology leakage and the like, in fact, the level of Rolls-Royce Engine Company is more than a little bit higher than that of the Northwest, and there is a shadow of Rolls-Royce behind several main fighters of the Allied forces in World War II in history. Besides, a good fighter must have a good engine, but with a good engine, it is not necessarily possible to build a good fighter. The British Spitfire is not weaker than the Northwest, so even if the Northwest Wyvern engine is known, there is not much loss to the Northwest. Besides, this batch of engine orders was placed through Feng Yong's group.

Although a large number of industrial machine tools and tens of thousands of manufacturing equipment were purchased from the United States this time, it would take a while to digest them, and it was unrealistic to suddenly raise the military production capacity in the northwest to the point of completely confronting the Japanese army. Moreover, in Jiang Li's eyes, simply investing all resources in the military is not good for the development of the northwest itself. There are now large iron mines in the northwest, and there are still enough oil deposits. The most important thing to do now is to increase the extraction of steel and oil. Increase the scale of the machinery manufacturing industry in Northwest China.

But these are inseparable from huge infrastructure, as well as a large amount of capital and resource investment. If all the limited forces are invested in the military industry, it will be extremely unfavorable to other fields in the northwest. After all, the Northwest can only do so much with the funds and strength it has, and if it is divided too much in the military industry, other fields will naturally be diluted.

Therefore, in non-war periods, it is logical to take advantage of the manufacturing capabilities of the following strengths in this area. Northwest industry, what is lacking now is scale, and only when it is thicker in the end can it go further in the future. While the Soviet Union began to be vigilant against the northwest, Jiang Li was also preparing for possible changes in the future. Moreover, the biggest constraint on aircraft production in the northwest is in the engine, if you can get the number of engines on these orders, even if it is only half, it is enough to change the current war situation to a considerable extent.
