Chapter 23: Acquisition of European Art

"The first time I asked for a small amount, it was for ・・・・・・" Guo Yu also responded directly.

"Mr. Guo, we don't care what you use it for, even if you use it to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and a world war, it's none of our business, we only sell arms." The man interrupted Guo Yu's words.

"Very well, I don't have to make up any more excuses." After Guo Yu finished speaking, both of them laughed.

After all, for the first time in business, Guo Yu only needed a few weapons, which could be regarded as a relationship between the two parties.

1,000 AK47 rifles, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 10 sniper rifles, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, 20 RPG rocket launchers, 20 rounds of ammunition each, and 5,000 grenades.

The things Guo Yu wanted were all conventional weapons, and they were all bargains, so the total price was less than three million US dollars. Guo Yu paid 60% in advance and directly let him ship to Liberia, but he didn't go to his own warehouse, and it would be good to pick up the goods by himself when the time came.

Shipping and receiving freight in Africa is the cheapest, and if it is shipped to the United States, domestic and other places, the freight is much more expensive than the goods.

Guo Yu left the contact information of the other party, and the other party retreated.

It was the first time for Guo Yu to do this kind of thing, he was a little excited, he couldn't sleep in bed, this guy sells arms and cabbage.

couldn't sleep, went directly to 1915, and when I arrived at Xiao Ni's room, Xiao Nizi was woken up by someone in a daze, and just about to use force, she was stopped by Guo Yu, and then she was stripped of her pajamas with a red face, and she got up.

The next morning, I hugged Xiao Nizi, talked, asked Qingqing that the farm was okay for the time being, and went back to modern times.

In the port of Monrovia, Liberia, the arms dealers acted quickly, and three days later, they brought the goods that Guo Yu asked for to the port warehouse, and after Guo Yu received the notice, he came to the warehouse alone to inspect.

The warehouse is unguarded, Guo Yu opened the warehouse, saw one by one wooden boxes, opened one of them, it was an RPG bazooka, looking at the workmanship, it was definitely produced by the original factory, the thing was good, don't look at it first, and directly enter the space.

The trip to Africa was successfully completed and flew back to Hong Kong directly, because of the spring auction prepared by Zhang Chong, the company had to organize and publicize, and Guo Yu needed to prepare antiques in advance.

Now there are more than 5,000 pieces of antiques in Guo Yu's space, which is enough for Zhang Chong to toss around, and he carefully selected them at home, taking care of the conflicts of various prices and types, and selected 400 pieces of antiques.

I went to the HSBC rental insurance room again, asked Zhang Chong and the company's people to pull the goods, and worked hard for nearly a day to finish the matter here.

Look at the time, at four o'clock in the afternoon, call the driver to pick up my son from school. Where is to pick up my son, in fact, to see the teacher.

When the car stopped at the gate of the "St. George" school, I saw luxury cars parked there, and it was obvious that they were all rich families.

The children walked out of the school gate one after another, Teacher Huang was dressed in simple clothes, but he took the children out with style, the children were picked up by parents one by one, Guo Yu saw his son come out and walked forward.

"Dad, you're coming to pick me up." The son shouted happily when he saw Guo Yu, and then broke free from the teacher's hand and ran over.

Guo Yu took his son's hand and walked up to Huang Wenjing, "Thank you Teacher Huang for taking care of you, Xiaotian is not naughty." ”

"Mr. Guo came to pick up Xiaotian, Xiaotian is very smart and well-behaved." After speaking, he smiled at his son. Why don't you smile at me?

Picking up girls is a fine job, and it will be a long time coming, so let's get familiar with it first. Guo Yu lived at home for two more days, picking up his son to and from school every day, just to say a few words to Teacher Huang, and he was really familiar with it a lot after a few days, this is his son's strategy.

More than ten days have passed since the last time I negotiated business with Huang's Trade, and Huang Jiaqiang called and contacted several freighters, wanting to take information to Guo Yu to see if it was suitable.

In Guo Yu's office, Guo Yu was looking through the information, and Huang Jiaqiang was waiting. These ships are really antique-level, the earliest one is 1965, and the latest one is 1978, and the specifications are quite in line with Guo Yu's requirements.

If it is a new ship, 40,000 tons will cost more than 100 million RMB, and Guo Yu really can't afford to use the new ship to form a freight group, and his current capital is more than 200 million. But scrap is much cheaper, a 30,000-ton bulk carrier in 1965 only asks for 9.6 million RMB, which is actually the price of scrap iron.

What else can Guo Yu ask for, it was originally to buy scrap iron, a total of four, Guo Yu made a decision directly after reading it, bought it, and then asked someone to do this with Huang Jiaqiang.

Huang Jiaqiang was very excited to listen to Guo Yu's words, this is a big deal, Huang's company can earn a profit of 5 points in this transaction, that is, 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as solving the company's urgent need, and there will be 16 ships in the future, this big tree must be held.

Guo Yu didn't care about the collection and delivery of the ship, and gave them the address of the company in Monrovia, and told them to drive the ship directly to Africa after they got it ready, and naturally someone there would receive the goods.

Back in 1915, Guo Yu drank the tea made by Xiao Ni, basked in the sun in the yard, and listened to Xiao Ni talk about the farm, in fact, it was not a big deal, that is, the farm began to cultivate, the cattle and sheep in the pasture entered a batch, and the students went to school to increase the evening shift and other trivial matters, but these trivial matters can allow Guo Yu to better grasp the operation of the entire manor.

While listening to Xiao Nizi said, I was still thinking about things, now the development in the United States is not as smooth as Guo Yu thought, the Chinese are not close to the high-end industry in the United States at all, there are too many bottlenecks, the status of the Chinese is too low, many things are too restricted, I am now just digging a few oil wells and selling them, only dealing with Rockefeller, and has not yet set foot in other fields, if I once I intervene in other industries, the signs of development will be ruthlessly suppressed.

And the United States is indeed too far away from the mainland, and it is a little beyond the reach of itself.

Go to Nanyang, buy a plantation, if you develop industry, you will secretly develop there, it is now the territory of the Dutch and the British, now that the Netherlands has declined, and the British are in full swing of war, how can you have time to manage Nanyang, it is a good opportunity for yourself.

When you get there, you dare to build whatever factory you want, what technology you want to explode, and you don't have to cower like now.

Take out the world map, and it is the kind of map of the later generations, marked with special details, Xiao Ni looked at it from the side, feeling that this painting was very strange, I don't know what was drawn on it, and there are many words, many words I don't know much, but it looks like Chinese characters.

"What is this, sir?" Xiao Ni became curious.

"This is the map of the world, now it is estimated that I am the only one in the world, this is a baby, don't go out and talk nonsense, do you hear?" Guo Yu smiled and scared Xiaoni.

"I've seen the map, it's not the same as this one."

"I'm a high-end product, look here." Guo Yu pointed to Orange County, Los Angeles, USA, and said to Xiaoni, "This is our manor, look here, this is the capital, how about it, the whole world is on this piece of paper." ”

After studying the map for a long time, I finally chose to settle down on Kalimantan Island in the South Seas and started the first step of my South Sea strategy.

Kalimantan is the third largest island in the world, the largest island in the South Seas, and later belonged to Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, but the population is not large, the modern island has a population of only 20 million, in 1915, there were only about 3 million people, and there were nearly one million Chinese laborers, because there was the largest bauxite mine in the South Seas, and these Chinese were mainly miners.

Call Al and ask him to find a way to buy South Kalimantan, which later became the city of Marchen

There are large coal mines and iron mines in the South Island, which can fully support Guo Yu's iron and steel industry, and the land there is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and it is also suitable for the construction of life.

Summoned Dazhu and instructed him to increase the number of escort personnel, at least 3,000 people, and then he would need more security forces to go to Nanyang. As for the guns, they use Springfield, and they are not insured now when Nanyang is exposing black technology.

Guo Yu, who had arranged things, suddenly found that he had nothing to do on both sides.

No, we have to find something, by the way, Europe is so lively now, I'm going to mix it up, we don't want anything else, we want antiques.

In modern times, European antiques have a market than domestic antiques, and the auction prices are higher, and the most powerful ones are oil paintings. Picasso is only in his 30s now, he has to buy oil painting manuscript workbooks and everything, France's Bougreau has only been dead for ten years, Russia's Levitan and many others, these are all modern figures who can start by themselves.

Other masters, who are already famous now, depend on their luck.

And doesn't it mean that Huang Wenjing also likes oil painting, hehehehe
