Chapter 45 Don't hit the south wall and don't look back

There are not many ways for Lianhua to expand production capacity. The first is to look for external funding cooperation, and the second is to seek bank support. The problem is that Lianhua has already borrowed 4 million from the Bank of Communications, and Wang Zhu can no longer borrow from the bank even if he has a large order from the Air Force. In these years, the loan has not been completed, and it is the gorgeous turn of the uncle who owes money.

Wang Zhu and Ba Yuzao are both engaged in technology, and they hired an American classmate to be in charge of the business, that is, Ryan. The first is to cooperate with Boeing in the United States, which has a large order from the Chinese side, and is not afraid of not attracting Boeing's investment. But now as far as the aircraft is concerned, in terms of design, Wang Zhu and Ba Yuzao are not bad at all, and there is no reason to cheap Americans. In addition, Boeing, the engine provider, refuses to come to China to build a factory, which is very annoying. If Boeing becomes a shareholder, maybe all the bones will be eaten cleanly, don't look at the friendship between China and the United States, the capitalists have always eaten people and don't spit out bones. If the first method does not work, then the second is to ask the Air Force to pay a part of the money in advance to facilitate the expansion of Lianhua's production. This method didn't work, the report was taken to the Air Force, and Feng Ru called back directly, and let go, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and never pay first.

Wang Zhu and Ba Yuzao had no tricks, so they went directly to the General Staff in a hurry, and just happened to bump into Fang Dashuai, who "risked death" to stop the car and ask for help. Fang Jianxiong is also easy to speak, and when he heard that it was such a thing, he said that there was no precedent for the military to make an advance payment, and it was not good to open this opening for Lianhua alone. However, I can introduce an investor, and that is Zhou Xuexi.

Over the years, the Zhou family has been thinking about entering more advanced fields, such as steel and military industry. In terms of steel, Zhou Xuexi's stake in Eurasia Northeast Iron and Steel Group is 10%, which is a good start. Now that Fang Jianxiong introduced Lianhua to raise funds, he naturally couldn't ask for it. The Zhou family is really not short of money, what they lack is technology and advantageous industries.

These two came with a letter of recommendation from Fang Dashuai. Zhou Xuexi was naturally treated as a VIP, drinking with him in person, and discussing cooperation. When Zhou Mingtai was busy working outside, a cooperation agreement had been reached here, and the Zhou family would invest 6 million to acquire 30% of Lianhua's shares. Lianhua used the money to base in Shenyang, and then slowly moved out of Beijing.

When Zhou Mingtai came in, it was a pleasant time for the two sides to talk. Zhou Xuexi is insightful. However, when Wang Zhu and Ryan talked about today's technology and industry in the United States, Zhou Xuexi also felt fresh. After all, having never been to the United States, it is hard to imagine how amazing the industrial capacity of today's largest industrial country is. Fang Jianxiong encouraged private capital to enter fields with high scientific and technological content, and Zhou Xuexi knew this attitude. So I was very interested in listening, and Wang Zhu was also very serious here.

When talking about sexuality. Zhou Mingtai came in and said with a smile: "Father, Wang Zhaoming has come to see me again, I said that you have rested." ”

Zhou Xuexi waved his hand and smiled like a fly: "He is persistent and does not mention this uninteresting topic." You go and get busy with yours, I'm fine here. Zhou Mingtai didn't leave in a hurry, after toasting Wang Zhu and Ryan. Only then did he leave with a smile.

The Zhou family can regain its vitality, and the root lies in the correctness of politics. Doing business to achieve the level of Zhou Xuexi is definitely inseparable from politics. The Zhou family has always been one of the funders of the Republican Party, and their interests have long been tied together. Where will I listen to Wang Zhaoming's flickering. I won't do anything like a little money to make a good relationship, and there's no need for that. At least before Fang Jianxiong died, he didn't have to worry about the Kuomintang turning the sky upside down, Zhou Xuexi's eyes were vicious. I have long seen through the general trend of the country today and the quality of someone.

When the Zhou family was talking about cooperation, Fang Jianxiong listened to Alice and Lu Bicheng talk about the American industry in the study. The United States had just entered the war. When the U.S. economy stagnated at the end of World War I, Tom, who had a lot of money in his hand, asked for instructions, and many people asked him for financing and asked what to do.

Tom, Alice's uncle, is also a shrewd Jew who now runs two of Fang's remaining businesses in the United States, a container production company and a motorcycle factory. Speaking of which, the technical content of these two industries is also so high, but the value is still not small. The most prosperous period of the container business has passed, but it has not stagnated as in other areas. The business of motorcycles is even better, and the Mississippi River three-wheeled motorcycle, designed by someone Fang, has won the favor of the United States. In fact, it is the Yangtze River 750, which has good off-road performance and is very popular with the United States.

According to Fang Jianxiong's meaning, this three-wheeled motorcycle can return to China to build a branch. Lu Bicheng is in charge of this matter, and Alice is assisting from the side, in fact, she has to intervene in life and death, and a woman's mind is elusive, especially in this country where it is not a monogamous and concubineless environment.

Alice mentioned one thing that caught Fang's attention, Boeing is in the market for a new round of funding. The current Boeing is still very weak, not the giant that it was later. Lu Bicheng still holds 10% of Boeing's part in his hands, which was all done when Boeing first went public.

Boeing produced the first monoplane fighter P-26 equipped by the US Army Air Corps, and is the manufacturer of the Flying Fortress B-17. At present, the United States has not really attached importance to China's scientific and technological level and production capacity, and apart from the fact that its army can fight wars, it is still a big agricultural country after all. But in 10 or 20 years, it's hard to say. Therefore, some things should be done as soon as possible, such as attracting Boeing to China to cooperate in the production of aircraft.

Boeing's refusal to come to China to produce engines was known to Fang Jianxiong from Wang Zhu. At present, it is still difficult for Boeing to resist China's large orders, so you might as well start from this aspect.

"Alice, you record it and let Tom get in touch with Boeing. This probably means that the Chinese Air Force wants to get a more advanced bomber and a more advanced fighter, and it is expected that the demand will be no less than 200 and 500 aircraft. However, the Chinese side has a premise, all bidders must build factories in China for production. ”

Boeing received its first major order for an aircraft in 1919: 200 Thomas-Morse MB-3 fighters for the Army Air Service. It is precisely by virtue of this fortune that it can be said that a country's large military orders can undoubtedly give Boeing enough attraction. The current U.S. military, before it is time to purchase a large number of aircraft, Fang Jianxiong threw out such a large order in one go, which is enough to make Boeing go crazy.

All in all, if you fool Boeing first, so that Boeing can make money and see that it can make more money, you are not afraid that Boeing will not comply. After explaining Alice, Fang Jianxiong said to Lu Bicheng again: "Sue Tom, if you continue to buy Boeing's shares, one share is counted as one share." ”

The same Tom asked the two to inform each other, the purpose of which was to make the two women clear about their respective parts. Especially Alice, a little goblin, relying on her young beauty, has been a little presumptuous lately. Fang Jianxiong wanted to knock it.

Lu Bicheng was very smart, and after hearing the meaning, he glanced at Alice, twisted his waist and walked away proudly. Alice was not stupid, she snorted a few times and didn't dare to protest, and not long after she went out in disgrace, she suddenly covered her mouth and rushed out of the door, hugging the doorpost and vomiting.

Fang Jianxiong didn't see this scene, he still had official business to deal with, mainly from the telegram from the Volunteer Army headquarters, which made Fang Jianxiong rush to a lot of pressure. The biggest pressure on the Novosibirsk side came from logistics, but after a few years of development in the northeast, 20 million immigrants turned the northeast into the largest granary in the north. Immigrants from Northeast China do not have to pay agricultural taxes for five years, and this alone has greatly invigorated the grain market. Grain in the Northeast can be purchased and transported nearby, which saves a lot of things. Other supplies could be carried by rail and sea, and the Japanese were also very cooperative, and the cargo ships that docked in Vladivostok transported military supplies to the front through the Guò Siberian Railway.

But in general, due to the harsh natural environment in Siberia, the problem of transportation is still quite difficult.

The reaction of the Soviet army did not surprise Fang Jianxiong, and there was no turning back from the bow, and they would not stop attacking because of the bombing. Besides, the bombardment in the sky is not omnipotent, just fight for a small casualty, rush over and defeat the kilometer. Fang Jianxiong did the same, especially on the premise of judging that the opponent's ground forces were not enough to pose much of a threat.

Frunze judged it this way, believing that his 400,000 men plus the 100,000 troops supplemented by the battalion could completely take Novosibirsk. At most, the casualties are larger. After making a decision, the Soviets began to advance at full speed, marching against bombardment during the day.

The defenders of the Novosibirsk side have been desperately repairing the fortifications recently, even Kolchak does not dare to be careless, don't look at the 200,000 troops in his hands, and the actual ones that can be fought are more than 100,000, and many of them are afraid of the Soviet army, and don't mention anything.

Fortunately, Kolchak made another move and purchased a large number of Chinese-made roasted knives in advance, which is the favorite drink of the Northeast dreadlocks, and it is also the favorite drink of the Russians. Work hard, I'll give the fever a knife. This is Kolchak's trick, don't say it, this trick works. As soon as the knife was burned, the White Russian soldiers who drank alcohol did not know what it meant to be afraid. It is estimated that the Soviet army is coming, and it can rush up with a roar. In fact, in Novosibirsk, the equipment and supplies of the Russian army are far stronger than those in the European battlefield, and everyone can have a rifle in their hands and have enough to eat, and the cotton coats made in China are quite warm.

All in all, from the point of view of intelligence, Frunze does not hit the south wall and does not look back! also has a similar experience, and Wang Zhaoming, who is in Tianjin, but Wang Zhaoming's results are much better, at least not life-threatening. Unlike Frunze, the planes in the sky every day seemed to him to be terrible.
