Chapter 354: The deal is negotiated
Qiao Youhua is a human being in two lives, so he naturally knows what Billy Lavis, a foreign devil, has in his heart, and it is the same as doing business between them, so it is naturally impossible to open his mouth and agree, there must be a lot of money to pay back on the spot.
Therefore, Qiao Youhua directly offered a killer feature, you are embarrassed, thinking that Lao Tzu's drawings are more than this price, and Lao Tzu will look for your sworn enemies, the Soviet Union and Germany, disgusting you.
Moreover, Qiao Youhua's next words made Billy Lavis's heart pound even more, and he couldn't hold his breath at all.
"Mr. Billy, I think I have overlooked an important matter, I have not only the design drawings of advanced tanks, but also all kinds of advanced individual weapons, light and heavy artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, aircraft and warships.
It's just that as you know, my country has been in a state of weakness for nearly a hundred years, and there is an extreme lack of technology and talents in this area, especially the lack of machines that can turn my design drawings into real products.
This also leads me to have a talent in the air, but I can't use it, so I have to "borrow" from other friendly countries, Mr. Billy, you should know that businessmen like to do business with regular customers.
After getting acquainted with some people, generally speaking, I will not find a second partner, so the tank drawings in the early stage are just the beginning, if I can cooperate happily with that friendly country in the future.
The next planes, tanks, battleships, artillery, will cooperate with them. ”
After listening to Qiao Youhua's words, Billy Lavis's forehead couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, it was too ruthless, there were so many advanced design drawings, which Lavis didn't doubt at all.
Because since Qiao Youhua can get such an advanced design drawing, who dares to say that he can't get the second or third copy? Or even more?
Billy Lavis even secretly scolded himself for being stupid, for a little petty profit, he almost lost one of his most important customers, in fact, the Japanese blockade is not a problem, and the ban on sales to China is not a problem.
These are all at stake, and as long as the benefits are higher than the risks taken, then everything is solved.
As long as the British Empire gained enough benefits, it was okay to offend Japan, which was becoming increasingly arrogant and domineering, expanding its power, and possibly even threatening the interests of the British Empire in the Far East.
After all, the emergence of a strong Japan and a strong China in the East is not a good thing for the British Empire, perhaps with the help of this Chinese hand, to enhance China's strength, and then to balance the power of China and Japan in East Asia, it is not necessarily a good thing for the British Empire.
Crucially, the British Empire could also reap extremely valuable benefits from it.
Moreover, as a spy, diplomat, and other members of the British Empire's elite, Billy Lavis did not believe that the sale of some individual weapons production technology and equipment would make the whole of China strong in an instant, threatening the interests of the British Empire in the Far East.
Compared with the larger British Empire, which had more advanced tanks, aircraft, and warships, then this condition was really nothing, and China, a backward country, still lost at the starting line, and was destined to be left far behind by the British Empire.
Thinking of this, Billy Lavis immediately stood up, bowed ninety degrees to Qiao Youhua, and said respectfully: "Dear Mr. Qiao, please forgive me for my gaffe just now, I suddenly thought about it, this tank design drawing of yours should be able to gain the interest of the high-ranking people of my British Empire."
So, please give me the time to escalate this matter and give you an answer as much as possible, and I promise that I will do my best to accommodate your request. ”
"Three days at most, no waiting." Qiao Youhua didn't want to stay in Tianjin, a place of right and wrong, for a long time, there were still many things waiting to be done in Luquan and Feiyunling Base Areas.
"Okay, please be patient, sir, within three days, I will definitely give you an accurate answer!" Billy Lavis got up to take his leave.
Wan Hu got up to send him off, and after a short time, he went and returned, and gave Qiao Youhua a thumbs up and said: "Brother Qiao, I am convinced today, Billy, a foreign devil raised by a son of a bitch, has never been so low-voiced before!" ”
Qiao Youhua took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "Foreigners are all unprofitable guys, a group of sluts who call themselves gentlemen, but in fact, they are all hanging in their bones." ”
"Will Billy agree to your request?" Wan Hu was a little worried: "Will there be any changes?" ”
"Don't worry, it won't take three days at all, the British are shrewd, and he is afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, so we will find the Soviet Union to cooperate with the Germans." Qiao Youhua smiled and said: "As for the change, in the context that Tianjin belongs to the Japanese theater, it is not easy for the British to make any moves."
If there were, I wouldn't mind killing a few Western devils to show the monkeys! ”
"Then you have to be careful, I'll tell the people below to be vigilant, just in case." Wan Hu got up and said.
Sure enough, only one day later, Billy Lavis drove to the place where the Ten Thousand Tigers had stayed, and he reported the situation to the British high-level via an ocean-going telegram, in which he publicized how good the new tank was.
The British high-level officials who were overjoyed were naturally attracted to the interest and instructed Lavis that he could agree to the other party's request, of course, on the premise that the design drawings must be brought back to the UK and examined by professional equipment designers.
Therefore, after Billy Lavis received the message, he hurriedly came to Qiao Youhua.
"Mr. Billy, what's the result?" Qiao Youhua asked for a long time.
Billy Lavis was a little embarrassed, but he still truthfully said his request, because he was afraid that Qiao Youhua would not agree, and added: "Mr. Qiao, please rest assured, we will not repay the debt, for which we are willing to pay you 10 million pounds first!" ”
Qiao Youhua's heart was beating wildly, the British are rich, damn it has occupied so many rich places in the world, and it is really domineering, Qiao Youhua, who is familiar with history, knows that before 1942, the fiat currency of China's regional currency belonged to the sterling area, and the exchange rate of one pound was equal to sixteen.8 fiat currency.
Even if the fiat currency depreciates now, a piece of fiat currency cannot be exchanged for a silver dollar, and when converted, the absolute value of this 10 million pounds is more than 100 million oceans.
That's definitely a lot of money!
With this huge amount of money, you can even buy imported weapons and equipment directly from Germany and the Soviets, of course, it is still more troublesome, in comparison, it is still the king to have your own weapons and equipment production line, in order to last.
"As for your sincerity, then I will reluctantly agree, but I don't want money for this million pounds, just the equivalent of gold or silver." Qiao Youhua said.
PS: I recommend two books to you, (Iron and Blood Anti-Japanese Army) (Anti-Japanese War Tiger Ben) are both good books of the anti-Japanese type, I hope you will search for them! The author is a friend of Saburo.
