That night, Xiao Zhenlei couldn't sleep anyway, he coveted Krupp's metallurgical technology, but he knew that Krupp would never sell this technology to him, even if he paid more money, they would not agree.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhenlei got up from the bed and sat at the head of the bed, picked up the cigarette case next to him, took out a cigarette and lit it, and when he smoked three cigarettes in a row, he finally decided to pick up the phone next to the table and dial a number, which was the first call he made after coming to Germany, so who was this call for?

After drawing, Xiao Zhenlei put down the pen and looked at it, felt quite satisfied, and was about to put away the map, when someone knocked on the door outside and asked, "Who?" ”

Outside, Awaya's voice rang out: "Sir, it's me!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei got up to open the door when he heard this, Su Gu walked in and closed the door, turned around and took out a large roll of white paper and spread it on the table and said: "Sir, look, this is a few of us based on the memories of visiting the Krupp steel smelting plant during the day to draw their production process drawings, originally each of us drew a copy, but everyone's memory is incomplete. So we checked everyone's drawings and corrected the mistakes, and redrew a more accurate and complete drawing. Here each production industrial process has a detailed drawing explaining what machine is used in each process. Although we don't know the internal structure of the machine, when we draw the external structure and features, I wonder if this thing will help us to build a new steel company? ”

Xiao Zhenlei didn't let them do this at all, but they did it on their own, this is the quality of a professional agent, he opened the drawings and looked at them, and it was not until a few minutes later that he looked up and praised: "Very good, although this does not allow us to master Krupp's metallurgical technology." But it can allow us to have a reference when building a steel mill, and take less detours, this drawing has a great effect on us, and you have done a good job! ”

Su Gu felt very happy about Xiao Zhenlei's affirmation and praise, and his unsmiling face finally loosened a little, but Xiao Zhenlei's next words made him feel very aggrieved.

"Still, I want to criticize you. Why don't you ask for a report before you do this? Do you know what happens if someone from Krupp discovers the existence of this drawing? We may never be able to go back, and the Kao patron behind Krupp is the German Emperor Wilhelm II, you know? Keep this drawing in your head right away. Then burn the drawings and draw them out from memory when you get back, you know? ”。

Suya was reprimanded. Although he felt a little aggrieved, Xiao Zhenlei's words just now also made him break out in a cold sweat. Hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, sir!" ”

"In the future, you have to report and ask for instructions before you do this kind of thing. You can't act until I agree, you know? ”。

"Understood!"

Xiao Zhenlei took out the map he drew and spread it on the table and asked: "This is what I draw, the drawing is not very standardized, you are a professional, you see what's wrong with this map!" ”

"Oh, good!" Su Gu hurriedly leaned over and leaned over to check, when he saw this map, his jaw was so shocked that his jaw quickly fell, he thought that his people were already very bold, but Xiao Zhenlei's courage was much greater than that of these people, this map turned out to be a schematic diagram of the plane structure of the Krupp steel smelter and the deployment map of the surrounding security guards.

Suya raised his head and asked, "Sir, this, this ??????."

"I'll let you see if there are any errors or omissions in this picture!" Xiao Zhenlei immediately scolded.

"Yes!" Suya hurriedly agreed, looked at it again, and compared each building on the drawing, the number of people and weapons and equipment of each guard point with the memories in his mind.

Milaya's nuclear was very careful, because if his conjecture was correct, he would have to take a lot of risks if he started to act, and it must not go wrong in any way.

After checking, he got up and said, "Sir, you drew very well, I didn't find any problems!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and said: "Tomorrow, you will take someone to the periphery of the Krupp factory to see if there is any change in their guards, and confirm that this matter is not in a hurry, if we do it now, once it is discovered by the Germans, they are very likely to suspect us, so we must be fully prepared, and we must be as clear as possible about us, and this matter can only be known to you and me for the time being, and we can't sue others!" ”

"Understood!"

Su Gu burned the drawings and left, Xiao Zhenlei smoked in the room and continued to refine the whole plan in his mind, getting the metallurgical technology of the Krupp company, which was one of the main purposes of his coming to Germany, if it wasn't for no other way, Xiao Zhenlei didn't want to do this kind of thing, but who made the current China and the great powers too far behind? First of all, the shipbuilding industry, just this metallurgical technology is too far from the Western powers, and they have already formed a complete industrial system, and China is just beginning to start, with the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the warlord scuffle, and the little national industry that has just developed will suffer a heavy setback. Therefore, Xiao Zhenlei had to take a risk and get Krupp's metallurgical technology, so that the steel company he would build next would have fewer detours, at least not lagging behind the powers in metallurgical technology for the time being.

In fact, Xiao Zhenlei is only an expedient measure, he knows very well that there is no stable regime, there is no stable internal environment, and it is almost wishful thinking to want to develop national industry with peace of mind, which history has proved that internal chaos will cause great damage, science and technology will hardly get any development, and may even regress, because in the internal chaos may cause a large number of scientific and technological data destruction and the loss of talents, the loss of talents is the most terrible. After all, talent is the carrier of civilization.

I thought about it until zero o'clock, Xiao Zhenlei took out his pocket watch and looked at it, he walked to the table and looked at the phone, hesitated for half a minute before picking up the phone and dialing the previous number again, this time it didn't disappoint him, the phone was picked up, and a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey? ”

Xiao Zhenlei just wanted to speak, but he didn't know what he was going to say, and he realized that he was not prepared, so he immediately hung up the phone.

After all, he has never done the work of an agent seriously, and he is inexperienced, Xiao Zhenlei is a little annoyed by his appearance, but there is no way to do it, he knows that he is not an agent at all!

The next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Zhenlei called Williams over and said: "Mr. Williams, the purchase of the steel-making furnace is left to you, today I will stay here for a day, to walk the streets and industrial areas here, tomorrow I will leave Essen for Berlin!" ”

Williams asked, "Leaving so soon?" ”。

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said: "Yes, the purpose of my coming here has been achieved, and then I will go to Berlin to have a short military exchange with the people of the German Ministry of Defense, which is also one of my main itinerary to Germany, we may only stay in Berlin for a week at most, and then we will return to Hamburg to take a boat to the United States!" After the furnace is built, you will take a boat with the furnace to Shanghai, and I will arrange for Opiyin and my two bodyguards to be your assistants here, what do you think? ”

Williams doesn't care, it's his job, he has been appointed by Xiao Zhenlei as the general manager of Xinjian Iron and Steel Company, and the purchase of steelmaking furnaces has become his main job during this time, and he promised: "Okay, sir, I will keep an eye on them to produce every part until we are satisfied." Next, I will conduct some research, and then start negotiations with them, about the price and after-sales service, I will fight with them, you can rest assured of this! ”

"I'm relieved to have you staring here!" Xiao Zhenlei patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Regarding the payment of the goods, I have negotiated with the manager of the Shanghai Tang branch of Lihe Foreign Bank before I came, and after the order, pay a deposit of 30% in cash, and our company will pay in Shanghai, you will send a telegram to General Manager Hall to inform him at that time, he will solve it, and after the steelmaking furnace arrives at our company, we will pay the remaining 70%, which will also be paid by that side!" You may have a lot of expenses here, this is my public relations expenses and other expenses for you during this time, and I will also pay you half a year's salary, converted into German currency, a total of 100,000 gold marks! With that, he took out a check and handed it over.

Williams took the check and looked at it, then put it away and put it in his pocket, "Okay, thank you very much, sir!" I have to say that you are a generous boss, I only started working for a few days and got half a year's salary, and the cost of PR is so high, in fact, I don't need so much PR money here to deal with interpersonal relationships! ”

"Take it first, maybe you will encounter something that needs money, if it's not enough, you can sue the bodyguard I stayed, and I will send some money after I know!"

"No, it's already a lot!" (To be continued......) R1071
