Chapter 12 Buying a Factory

In the evening, Jaelsen sat in a corner of the bar, with several empty glasses already on the table. Jaelsen stared blankly at the empty wine glasses on the table, his mind shifting to the afternoon scene.

Jelson is a British Jew, only 28 years old this year, because of his poor family since childhood, he dropped out of school at the age of 14 to work, relying on his own hard work, and later became a middle-level business person in a British company, responsible for the company's import and export trade between South American countries and the United Kingdom, but because of a conflict with the son of the company's owner, he was swept out of the company and introduced to Jardine Matheson.

Shanghai Jardine Matheson, which was later transferred to the ancient empire of the Far East, has been in this ancient empire for three years! Jerson also became a young assistant manager at Jardine Matheson.

Yesterday morning, Jerson received four young Qing Dynasty people, one of whom was a Qing Dynasty man who was a Chinese master class of a French foreign company, and this Chinese master class and Jerson can be regarded as friends, while the other three Qing Dynasty people claimed to be officials of the Beiyang Weihai Weihai Guardian Sailor School, and Jerson's Chinese master friend said that he had resigned from his job as a French foreign company and was now the logistics director of the Beiyang Weihai Weihai Guardian Sailor School.

Jelson didn't know what the logistics manager was, but he was very happy for his friend when he saw his friend's red face.

Unexpectedly, this friend and three Qing Dynasty people quickly came up with a purchase list of equipment for the purchase machine that shocked Jaelsen. This list even the general manager of Jardine Matheson, Mr. Michael, was shocked and personally came forward to receive four young people from the Qing Dynasty.

In the end, the company reached a big deal with Jaerson's friends and three young Qing dynasty people, with a total value of up to 1 million pounds for the purchase of machine equipment, and the Jardine Matheson Company was responsible for recruiting no less than 300 technicians in Europe to work in the Qing Dynasty for at least three years, and was responsible for training the Qing Dynasty's own technicians, and the salary was paid by the Beiyang Naval Academy.

In the end, Jerson was even more shocked by the large amount of money that one of the youngest Qing Dynasty people took out a deposit of 200,000 pounds at once! I finally understood a sentence I learned in the Qing Dynasty, people can't be disgraced! I didn't expect that the barren Qing Dynasty in the eyes of Jaelsen would have such a rich man who spent a lot of money!

When Geralson was sending off four big customers, at the door of the foreign bank, one of the youngest Qing Dynasty people, casually asked Geralson in English about his salary in Jardine Bank, and Geralson replied that his monthly salary was 60 pounds, and the Qing Dynasty man suddenly said, I will give you 1,000 pounds a month, how about you come to work for me?

Then Gerarison's Qing Dynasty friend sued Gerarson, and he could guarantee that what the youngest Qing Dynasty man said was true! If Jaelsen wanted to, he could come to his house to find them, and he knew the address of his house anyway. After finishing speaking, before Geralson could react, his Qing Dynasty friends walked away with the three Qing Dynasty people.

1,000 pounds like a devil, has been wandering in Geralson's mind, last night Geralson lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, now he is very much valued by the general manager of Jardine Matheson Mike, but 1000 pounds of monthly salary, maybe he can only have such a monthly salary if he survives to Mr. Mike's position.

Picking up the only half glass of wine left in his hand, he drank it in one gulp, he decided that he would go to his Qing Dynasty friend's house tomorrow, with a monthly salary of 1,000 pounds, as long as he worked for a year, he could open a company of his own!

Lin Daxin, Wang Yan, Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao stayed in Wang Yan's alley in Shanghai, gathering around to discuss orders placed at Jardine Matheson during the day.

"Pingshi, if all the machines on these orders are shipped back, we can build 10 factories!" Sun Xitao said with his eyebrows fluttering.

Jiang Hui couldn't hide his joy, and said excitedly: "Yes! It's so exciting to think about 10 factories together! ”

Today, the equipment purchased by the four of them includes a power plant with a power generation capacity of 20,000 kilowatts, a steel plant with an annual output of 100,000 tons, equipment from a small shipyard, a chemical plant that can produce chemical products such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, a manufacturing plant with more than 100 mother functions that can produce machinery, and five civilian factories and equipment, including cement factories, textile factories, garment factories, wood factories, and flour mills. A total of 10 factories have machine equipment.

"Today, the general manager of Jardine Matheson still doubts our ability to pay, and then my cousin slapped 100,000 pounds on the table without saying a word, you see that those foreigners were straight in their eyes at that time!" Wang Yan said that he was still gesturing his hands, and in front of foreigners, Wang Yan had never been so proud today.

"By the way, Hiraishi, we've bought so many machines now, should we go to a foreign store to buy some weapons next?" We want to build army disciplines, and we also need at least a batch of rifles and artillery! Sun Xitao continued to ask Lin Daxin excitedly.

In Jardine Matheson, Lin Daxin and others also visited the arms and weapons sold by Jardine Matheson, but Lin Daxin was not satisfied with the weapons of Jardine Matheson, so he did not buy arms and weapons during the day.

Lin Daxin was very excited at this time, the current foreign powers still have no embargo, technical blockade and the like, so the equipment that Lin Daxin bought in Jardine Matheson is a new product of the United Kingdom, and it is more advanced now, and the equipment purchased at 1 million pounds, Lin Daxin feels that it is very cost-effective, not to mention that it is still a fake pound of 1 million!

Lin Daxin just spent a lot of **, at this time it was the time to be full of ambition, and when he heard Sun Xitao say to buy weapons, he immediately said magnificently: "Tomorrow we will go to a foreign company in Germany to buy rifles and cannons!" Not only do we have to buy rifles and cannons, but I also want to buy a production line for rifles and cannons in a foreign company in Germany! ”

Wang Yan nodded and said: "The quality of Germany's guns has always been among the best in Western countries!" Since my cousin is not short of money, it is better to buy some good quality when buying guns and other things! ”

Lin Daxin said again: "Not only do we have to buy guns, but we also need some practice ships for the sailor discipline of our Sailor Academy!" The training ships of our Beiyang Naval Division are too backward! ”

Originally, Lin Daxin was going to buy some active warships in the UK, after all, the British navy is the most powerful in the world, but because of Japan's relationship, Britain sold Lin Daxin's warships, which is also extremely backward, you must know that Britain has long expected that Japan and the Qing Dynasty will have a war, but Britain put the treasure on Japan and loaned Japan 50 million pounds.

Therefore, Lin Daxin could only consider buying some active warships in other countries, all for the naval battle that would decide the fate of the entire China.

Hearing Lin Daxin say that he would buy some practice ships, Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao's eyes lit up.

Both of them are learning to sail, and the ideal is to command the battleship to gallop on the sea, but for various reasons, neither of them became the commander of the battleship, and now Lin Daxin wants to buy a training ship, according to Lin Daxin's handwriting, it is said that it is a training ship, which may be more advanced than the active warships of the Beiyang Naval Division!

The two of them remembered that on the ship that came to Shanghai, Lin Daxin said that he would follow him in the future and get two ironclad ships for the two of them to play!

Early the next morning, Wang Yan took Lin Daxin, Jiang Hui, and Sun Xitao to a foreign company called Lihe in Germany.

Han Sen, the general manager of Lihe & Co. in Germany, has learned yesterday that a group of big customers of the Qing Dynasty placed a large order worth 1 million pounds in the British Jardine Matheson & Co., and now this group of big customers of the Qing Dynasty has come to his foreign bank, which makes the general manager of the foreign bank Han Sen very excited, and he is very enthusiastic about Lin Daxin and the four of them.

Hansoh invited Lin Daxin and the four of them to his office, and asked the staff of the foreign bank to serve the four of them precious green tea, and then Hansen said in a weirdly emphasized Chinese dialect: "Dear four friends, welcome to the German Lihe foreign company!" We are the largest German foreign firm in Shanghai! Signed agency agreements with a number of factories in Germany! Four of you can buy German industrial products with high quality and reliable quality at our foreign bank! Don't know what the four friends need? ”

On behalf of the four of them, Wang Yan said: "Hello, Dear Mr. Hansen! We are from the Beiyang Weihai Weishui Academy, and today we came to Guiyang to buy some rifles and cannons for the teaching work of the Sailor Academy! This is Lin Daxin, the deputy general manager of the Beiyang Weihai Shiwei School, Lord Lin! ”
