Chapter 198: Blackjack Group
(Thank you for the reward of the book friend Luan Yu Chaoyue, the monthly pass of long5588, and the book friends who have recommended and collected tickets, help and support it, thank you.) )
With the sound of a gunshot in Sarajevo, the tension in Europe that had been condensed to the extreme broke out unprecedentedly, and the long-awaited war finally came as scheduled at the end of July.
"Hey, hurry up, awesome guy, hurry up and carry things over, hurry up, I know you can do it." Fritz wore a crisp suit and patted a black boy next to him on the shoulder. As a Caucasians, even though he is a scoundrel and a thug among Caucasians, but in front of blacks, Fritz has no pride in his bones. In the past, he made a living by wandering the streets, and his relationship with his parents was extremely bad. However, I don't know what kind of shit luck Lu Dao took, and he was hired as a small steward of the warehouse by this newly opened factory. With a steady income, Fritz, who was very financially constrained, fell in love with the easy job. As for those who are highly educated, they despise blacks, and disdain to work with blacks. In Fritz's view, there is no psychological barrier to this. As long as he can earn money, even if he is black, he is extremely cute in his eyes.
"Hey Boss, you look so handsome today." Fritz greeted Zhang Shun, who was wearing sunglasses and a fancy suit.
"Well, do a good job." Zhang Shun seemed to be on crutches, this time Qin Yu used a huge amount of money to stir up trouble in the United States, and he had to use reliable people. There is only Zhang Shun who has experience in cross-border trade and has good contacts overseas.
"Connor, how is the acquisition of the Bunley Gunpowder Factory going?" Zhang Shun, who entered the office, stilted Erlang's legs and drank the coffee brought by the beautiful female secretary. Sitting across from him was a slightly bald man on the top of his head. A young white man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
"We have acquired 47% of the shares of Bangli Gunpowder Factory on a small scale in batches, and several other small shareholders have a 5% share, as long as Boss is willing, they can control Bangli Gunpowder Factory at any time and obtain its management rights." For the acquisition of the Bangli Gunpowder Factory. It was Bunley who did it single-handedly, and he didn't know why the Blackjack consortium would hire a yellow man as an executive, but this yellow man had British nationality, and there were several people in the British royal family who were good friends with Lu, and he could speak fluent English, which together was not surprising.
"But Boss, the DuPont consortium has also recently set its sights on the shares of the Bangley Gunpowder Factory, so you should be the first to strike. I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the DuPont consortium, whose influence in the American gunpowder market is unparalleled. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, although DuPont is powerful, we Blackjack are not easy to mess with. Moreover, the previous market of the DuPont consortium was in the United States, and the orders we got this time were all from European belligerents, and they were not restricted by DuPont in the market, even in Europe. The Blackjack consortium has a deeper foundation. ”
Zhang Shun boasted half-truthfully, in fact, the Blackjack consortium certainly can't compare with DuPont in terms of influence. However, before the First World War, DuPont was far less terrifying than later, Zhang Shun also held tens of millions of funds in his hands, coupled with the power that Qin Yu had arranged before, Black Jack was not a soft egg to be manipulated.
"In addition to the Bonley Gunpowder Factory, New Jersey. The Euminsis Gunpowder Factory in Trenton is also the object of our acquisition, so you can arrange this again. ”
Zhang Shun put down the coffee in his hand, smacked his lips and said, he has been in Europe for a long time in the past few years, and Zhang Shun has helped Zhang Shun complete the purchase of tens of millions of equipment in Fengtian. Europe is a capitalist society, as long as there is enough money, it can pry some gaps that were not accessible before, and in a few years, coupled with the strength of funds, Zhang Shun's reputation in some small circles has also spread. This European war has just begun, and the newly established Blackjack Group, gunpowder orders are flying like snowflakes. The war was only a month into the war, and Europe was in a sea of blood, and the Blackjack consortium also received an order for 3.47 million pounds of explosives, at which time the production cost per pound of smokeless gunpowder was 31 per cent, the price was 98 per cent, and the profit per pound was slightly more than 2.2 times the production cost. This month's orders alone generated a staggering $1.325 million in profits. The war has only just begun, and as it enters the back, the industrial areas and transportation of the warring countries are destroyed in the war, and the stockpiles are depleted, the demand for explosives will inevitably increase.
After all, DuPont is a giant in the manufacture of gunpowder, and it should receive no less orders from the European side than from their side. Although there are all kinds of talents in the United States, smokeless gunpowder, yellow explosives, and black explosives can be produced, but such a huge scale of production, the acquisition of other explosives factories, their holdings, and the direct use of the supporting production system are very necessary, even if they have similar production capacity as DuPont, but the production manpower cannot keep up, and the fattest piece of the big cake in Europe is easily bitten away by DuPont.
Arranged the acquisition of several gunpowder factories in the target, Zhang Shun carried a purely playful crutch, looking like a fake foreign devil, left the factory, under the escort of a group of bodyguards, several cars entered an abandoned factory, in the abandoned factory, more than a dozen white strong men with a lot of tattoos saw five or six cars driving in, and immediately dispersed vigilantly, six or seven people with swords in their hands, and a few people with pistols.
Feeling the hostility of the other party, the people in the car jumped down one after another, took out their pistols, and even a guy in black clothes and black pants and sunglasses took off a light machine gun directly from the car, and one or two people played with the grenade in their hands.
The pomp and circumstance of the other party made Paul's gang look very different.
"Mr. Paul, do you need this for me?" Zhang Shun smiled and stretched out his hand to ask Jian Chen to put away the gun. At this time, racial isolationism in the United States was very serious, and Zhang Shun, as the CEO of the Blackjack Consortium, was of great significance to Qin Shou, not under Tian Helin at this time. In order to ensure Zhang Shun's safety, Qin Yu specially transferred six soldiers from the special operations team to serve as Zhang Shun's bodyguards, and two of them were Shang Xiangyun and Gong Baotian's disciples.
These six special fighters alone and the weapons they are equipped with are almost enough to fight a small head-on encounter. Compare to them. The other eight white bodyguards can only be regarded as tall and soy sauce-playing, and some trivial matters in ordinary life can be solved with white bodyguards and lawyers.
"Mysterious Zhang, the strength of your subordinates is really amazing." Paul can get out of a large group of thugs, and his eyesight is essential, just look at the discipline of the other party's men, and it is all in one. and the looseness of the gang under him, he understood that he was far from being the opponent of the other side.
"Walking outside all year round, there must be a few capable bodyguards, otherwise my body would have been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish." Zhang Shun said with a smile, "You are a relatively powerful underground force here in Philadelphia, and the reason why our consortium takes a fancy to you is mainly because you are more trustworthy, and we like to cooperate with trustworthy people." ”
Paul licked his tongue. "What can you give me, and what do you need me to do for you?"
"Except that you can't drive the battleship to Philadelphia. Everything you could ask for, we have you covered. Zhang Shun said, "Including the things that Ossis guy has been running recently, but Ossis is really not a good partner, it doesn't matter if he cooperates with our rival consortium, but helps my enemies to deal with us, which is really disgusting." ”
"Including God's gifts?" Paul's eyes shone brightly. At this time, Heroin had a new name in the American Underworld, God's Gift, which is very fascinating.
"Of course, Mr. Paul, Philadelphia or any other city in New Jersey may be under your control."
"Thank you so much. Is there anything I need to do? Paul understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"I have some properties in Philadelphia, and I don't want to be disturbed, and my bosses have to maintain a glorious image in front of the public, and there are some things that are not suitable to do too much, so we need to work with people like you, Mr. Paul, and everyone needs what they need."
Zhang Shun said, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and Zhang Shun can't look down on the combat power of these places, but the local black and evil forces are incomparable to Zhang Shun in terms of information and familiarity with the local area. Zhang Shun was not afraid of them, but worried that the action would be too big to attract the attention of the US government.
"In a word, as long as you can provide me with the goods, you can leave some things that are inconvenient to come forward to me to do." Paul agreed, and Ossis gathered two or three hundred thugs at this time, but as long as he could get the drugs, Paul was also confident that he would develop more power.
"Very good, I hope that our cooperation will be more and more pleasant in the future, before that, I will send two things to Mr. Paul as a gift, keep in touch, tomorrow someone will inform Mr. Paul of the address to pick up the goods, of course, you must bring enough money to come, although it is a cooperative relationship, but our goods are not extravagant." Zhang Shun snapped his fingers, and immediately someone carried two wooden boxes and placed them on the ground in front of Paul.
"If you don't directly integrate these underground forces, it's not your own people, and it's hard to guarantee that Paul is not a white-eyed wolf like Ossis." Jian Chen asked.
"The second young master once said that a weak country has no diplomacy. Don't look at us as glamorous now, in the eyes of the U.S. government, it is nothing, and there are some things that we are not convenient to come forward directly. But these are only temporary, and when the group of people trained by the consortium comes out, they can do a lot of things conveniently, and you should pay close attention to the adoption of white children over there. ”
Zhang Shun sighed, in addition to the little playful nature left over from Qin Yushi, the fancy clothes were more to keep up with the so-called trend of those upper-class people. As a yellow-skinned person, how inconvenient it is to walk abroad, Zhang Shun's feelings are naturally much deeper than Chen Jian, who just came out. For this reason, he complained to Qin Yu several times. Qin Yu also inadvertently thought of the killer tissue cultivation killer in later generations, and started since he was a child. Even if you are a Caucasians, you start cultivating when you are young, but what is different is the yellow heart? There is no shortage of people in any country who are poor, oppressed, and do not have a strong sense of identity with the peasants.
These people inside. There is no shortage of abilities, as long as they are given a platform, they can also do excellent things. At this time, the Sicilian mafia had not yet set foot in this virgin land of the United States, and temporarily cultivated the local gang power in the United States, mainly for the smooth progress of gunpowder production. By the way, the drug is promoted. After a few years, the first batch of people trained by the consortium will be able to appear in front of public figures. Maybe there will be a bloody fight with the strong dragons from the Italian mafia in the future. The training camp was set up at Yingkou, and most of the members were white, Japanese orphans. It will take more than ten years for these people to grow up completely, although it is a little longer, but these people are highly loyal and have undergone perfect military training, which is not comparable to those ordinary gangsters. As for the rest of the population, they are basically helpless white people who are forced to live.

Nanyuan, green trees like shade. Birds and beasts chirp. From time to time, you can see hares, wild deer scurrying among the green bushes, this place as a former emperor's hunting place, until now unspoiled, often infested with all kinds of small beasts.
A huge roar sounded in the sky, and the huge plane didn't seem to be very fast in the air, and the size didn't look very big due to the distance between them.
In the vicinity of Nanyuan. From time to time, you can see businessmen and people stopping for it. Pointing at new things in the sky.
"Brother Zhiqing. You're getting better and better at what you do. He Yingdong sniffed, followed the aroma and came over, and saw Du Baoming roasting a pheasant with a stick, and Zhao Yunpeng next to him, so he couldn't help but smile and sit down. You won't be afraid of being seen by Principal Qin and them, and you won't learn to fly a plane. Learn to roast pheasants. ”
Du Baoming rolled his eyes, "You think I want to run and play, when I was in the War Department before, I still had something to do, but now I come to Nanyuan." I didn't know how to fly the plane, but I learned how to roast pheasants. If you go back, you may be laughed at by the villagers, I said that you kid, you are not much better than me, what's so funny. ”
"There are only a few planes, and there are still maintenance and inspection of the airframe in the middle. It can't be opened in the wind and rain, and it depends on the mood of the foreign teachers, it is really difficult for us to learn something, and there are more monks and less meat. Chen Rulin shook his head and sat down, a few people joked about it, in fact, when learning to fly an airplane, they were not ambiguous, and they were all afraid that there was too little time to learn to fly, Du Baoming was one of the top few people in the students' flying skills.
"Who said no, there are only 12 trainer planes in total, and there are five more problems, and the factory in France is not a thing, and almost half of the planes sold can't be driven. Principal Qin brought a few more planes to participate in the battle to exterminate Bai Lang, and dozens of us surrounded those planes, where was it enough. Du Baoming snorted, in fact, Du Baoming is a little wrong to blame the French aircraft company, a few faulty aircraft are not a big problem, but due to the start of World War I, where can the French aircraft manufacturing company still take care of the spare parts demand of Nanyuan Airlines, let the pilots of Nanyuan do it themselves, and they will not be able to do it for a while, which makes the broken aircraft can only be parked there for the time being.
"Is it enough to stay until the end of the year, our students in this batch are about to graduate, what are the plans of Brother Zhiqing?" He Yingdong asked.
"What can you plan, there are only more than ten planes in the entire Republic of China, and a small half of them are bad, I don't know how long this battle in Europe will last, I think we are only afraid that a large number of people will return to their original units, and I am afraid that this more than a year will be delayed, but fortunately, we also got paid when we came to Nanyuan, otherwise we would really lose money." Zhao Yunpeng said without complaints: As an emerging equipment, the future of aviation is still very confused at this time.
"Actually, I have a place to go, it depends on whether you are willing or not, if you don't, forget it, don't go out of the way." He Ying Dongdao.
"Where to go? Can it be better than the central arrangement? Du Baoming threw a piece of wood into the fire.
"Why don't you go to Fengtian, Fengtian has also bought more than a dozen planes, more than Nanyuan, there must be planes to drive when you go to Fengtian, we are now learning the profession of flying planes, if you go back to your original position, the skills you learn are not wasteful?" Chen Rulin said.
"There are more planes in Mukden than in Nanyuan?" Du Baoming and Zhao Yunpeng were a little surprised, the plane is very valuable, one will cost 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, Nanyuan bought 12 Gao Delong trainer planes, plus the hired instructors, and the technicians who repaired the aircraft spent 270,000 yuan, and another 60,000 yuan to build campuses, parking sheds and other facilities. For an ordinary province, the annual financial income is more than 10 million, and a province's investment in education may not be so much, that is tens of thousands of students, but to engage in airplanes, just a dozen or so, dozens of students, and some follow-up investment. This is an ordinary place, which is extremely shameful.
"That's it, you're not Kuang me, aren't you? Besides, what does Mukden do with so many planes? Zhao Yunpeng was also a little skeptical.
"I don't know about this, anyway, there are planes in Mukden, and there are no regulations on airplanes, which can only be done by the central government, not locally, right? The U.S. has now launched a civil aviation line. He Yingdong argued.
"That's just as well."
"Hey, what do you think, do you want to go, if you want to go, I'll tell that there in advance, and if you don't go, I won't mention it." He Yingdong said again.
"How much is the salary for going to Fengtian, and how do you arrange it for us?" Du Baoming's family background is not as good as Zhao Yunpeng, so he pays more attention to this aspect.
"In terms of treatment, you can rest assured, it's not worse than now. Every month's salary is paid in real terms, and there is never arrears. "He Yingdongdao.
"Look at the way you guys, you came to Nanyuan to learn to fly just to go back and fly a plane, right?"
"The master seat has the grace of promoting us, and we must return to Fengtian after we finish our studies." As Fengtian people, they are very proud that Fengtian can build an aviation school that is bigger than Nanyuan.
"Okay, when the time comes, it will be up to you to see what arrangements are made in the school, and if you don't have a place to go, I'll go to Mukden with you." Du Baoming nodded. (To be continued......)
