Chapter 246 Raising Funds

"Tiger assault rifle?! It's a very imposing name! James smiled at Phil and said, "Then, I'll report to the president when I go back." 《》. But I'll have to bring it back, and you'll receive our telegram in a week. ”

Phil nodded with satisfaction after hearing this result, he knew that this result was already hard-won! After all, as the US Secretary of War, if I can tell you to send a telegram in a week, then it means that I am 90% sure of this matter.

The rest is just a matter of process. Of course, Phil wouldn't just let James take the rifle away, and Phil would go with him to Washington, D.C., along with the tester and a Colt gunsmith.

Tu Qianjun stayed in New York to continue his teaching assistant trip at West Point, not that he didn't want to go to Washington together. The more reason is that Lieutenant General William, the principal of West Point, will not let go, who called Tu Qianjun's application for the white-knuckle battle project has been approved? . I was also informed that the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States also intends to raise interest rates by 1 percentage point. I judge that as soon as the bank interest rate increases, many people will take their money and deposit it in the bank, and as a result, the capital in the stock market will be greatly reduced. And, then, there will be a wave of stock selling. There are more people who throw and fewer people who buy, and it seems that the stock price must fall undoubtedly! With that, Tu Qianjun turned around and looked at Situ Meitang with burning eyes and said in a deep voice.! He said in a deep voice: "Qianjun will live up to the trust of the old-timers!" We must win this battle! ”

Afterwards, the two made small talk again. And Tu Qianjun also handed over the gun he designed to Colt for production, and after obtaining the support of the US Secretary of War, the old man nodded. also asked why Tu Qianjun did not develop this rifle in China.

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the old man's words, first of all, there is no such process and machine tool in China. Secondly, the Northeast has been infiltrated by the Japanese too much, and once this kind of firearm is developed in the Northeast, it is so difficult to guarantee that it will not be learned by the Japanese! Undoubtedly, it has become a rival in another way!

You know, once this firearm is leaked to the Japanese, it will undoubtedly be a disaster! In the United States, it's different, and here Japan can't do it. Moreover, the United States is strong enough to defend the interests of its own country and businessmen. Once the Japanese come into chaos, then the US government will not sit idly by!

Situ Meitang couldn't help but sigh when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, in the final analysis, it was because the country was not strong! Later, Tu Qianjun ate the dinner that the old man had made for him at Situ Meitang's place before he left.

Three days later, Phil sent a telegram from New York: the rifle they had designed had been approved, and an order had been placed for a thousand. If it works well in the troops, then the order may well increase to three thousand or even more! to replace the Thomson M1921 in active service.

Before the sale, Tu Qianjun and Phil had repeatedly reduced the cost of this Tiger assault rifle. Under the step-by-step compression, the cost of the Tiger assault rifle was finally compressed to about a hundred dollars without cutting performance!

The current Thomson M1921 costs $225 each, $5 for 50 drums and $3 for 20 magazines. The latest chapter of the Templar. Even if it is a gun ordered by the army, the price is 200 US dollars each!

Thus, the advantages of the Tiger assault rifle were shown at once! Moreover, the range and lethality of the Tiger assault rifle are obviously greater than that of the Thomson M1921! I believe that we will be able to achieve this business. ”

As he spoke, Tu Qianjun and Little John smiled and entered Little John's villa hand in hand. Entering the villa, under the leadership of Little John, Tu Qianjun came to Little John's study on the second floor, and then he said to Little John in a deep voice: "Mr. Morgan, the first thing I want to do this time is that I want to know how much money I have left to you to operate into the stock market?!" ”

Little John was pouring a glass of red wine for Tu Qianjun at this time, and when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, Little John couldn't help but smile and said, "You handed me four million dollars at the time, and now it's worth about five million." What, does the general want money?! If it's not urgent, then my advice is to wait, because the stock market is going up pretty well! ”

Tu Qianjun smiled faintly when he heard Little John's words, and said to Little John: "Then, you can help me cash out all the stocks!" I'm really in dire need of money right now. And the second thing I have come here today is to use the patent of the 'Tiger Assault Rifle' I have on hand as collateral and borrow 10 million US dollars from your Morgan family! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Little John almost shook his hand and smashed the red wine bottle down! I saw that he quickly stabilized his hands, then turned around and put the red wine in front of Tu Qianjun and said in a deep voice: "General Tu, do you need money very much?!" Why did you suddenly think of using the patent of this gun as a mortgage?! You know, your gun has been ordered by the army, and is generally optimistic that it can replace the Thomson submachine gun in the army's active service, you must know that if once it is listed as a replacement gun, then your patent is a hen that lays golden eggs! How can you be willing to take it out as collateral?! ”

Tu Qianjun smiled and took the glass of red wine handed over by Little John, took a sip lightly, and then said softly to Little John with a smile: "I always have my own reasons, since I am a businessman, of course I am in business." Just say, can you take this business? ”

Little John heard Tu Qianjun's words and groaned for a while, then smiled at Tu Qianjun and said, "Please wait, after all, this matter is not small." I personally can't call the bill for $10 million. Again, I had to consult with a few major shareholders. ”

Tu Qianjun smiled and picked up the wine glass and signaled to Little John that you are free, and then poured himself a drink. After drinking this glass, a lawyer took the contract. After Tu Qianjun glanced at it, he signed his name.

Immediately, Little John handed over a total of $5.3 million and a check of $10 million to Tu Qianjun that Tu Qianjun handed over to him to roll in the stock market, but Tu Qianjun did not eat at Little John's place, but hurriedly said goodbye to Little John after getting these two checks.

Then, Tu Qianjun came to Anliang Company again and had a secret conversation with Situ Meitang for a long time. After leaving two checks, Tu Qianjun went with Situ Meitang to visit the Governor of Roosfurt, who had been treated.

Seeing that Tu Qianjun was coming, Roosevelt seemed quite happy! Immediately pushed down some work, strode into the reception room, and opened his hands to Tu Qianjun from afar, giving Tu Qianjun a big bear hug! Haha said with a smile.

"Oh ~ Tu! You are my nobleman! Also my benefactor! If it weren't for the two amazing Oriental doctors you introduced me, I would probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life! Roosevelt laughed, kept patting Tu Qianjun's back and said with a smile: "But you haven't come to see me for a long time, although I know that you are studying in West Point, but I still have some regrets!" ”

Saying that, Roosevelt pulled Tu Qianjun to sit on the sofa with a smile, looked at Tu Qianjun and said with a smile: "How can you be free today?!" You know, you don't usually have much time to visit me! ”

Tu Qianjun listened to Roosevelt's words and shook his head with a smile. After seeing what Roosevelt had finished, he said solemnly to Roosevelt: "Dear Governor, I came to you today because I have discovered some terrible things through some observation and analysis during this time!" And I think these things should be said to you. So I took a leave of absence from West Point and came to your office with Mr. Szeto. ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Roosevelt was stunned! Immediately, his eyes flashed again and again, and he said to Tu Qianjun in a deep voice: "General Tu, I trust you!" Whatever it is, please tell me by all means. ”

Tu Qianjun looked around, and Roosevelt immediately asked everyone to leave. Then Tu Qianjun said to Roosevelt in a deep voice: "Now it seems that the American economy is booming ()." In particular, the automobile, communications, aircraft and other industries are thriving. The U.S. stock market experienced an 18-month absolute high gain. But no one notices that under all this lies all sorts of crises in the United States! ”

Roosevelt frowned when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, and in his opinion, Tu Qianjun's words seemed a bit alarmist! You know, the whole of America is thriving right now! Some time ago, that stupid, short-looking Babson was still giving speeches everywhere saying that the US economy was about to collapse!

Even he united with the infamous Jesse. Livermore, together with you, spread the news of this panic! Immediately caused a bunch of people to follow them to short, but then they quietly bought it back and made a lot of money!

In Roosevelt's opinion, this damned moth should be pulled out and hanged! But unfortunately, everything they did seemed to be in accordance with American law, so although these two bastards he hated so much were in the state of New York that he governed, Roosevelt had nothing to do with them.

Seeing that Roosevelt seemed to be a little unconvinced, Tu Qianjun sighed helplessly and explained to Roosevelt in a low voice: "Don't you think that the focus of the entire United States is no longer on industry, but on finance and financial derivatives?!" When everyone is engaged in stocks and even finance, do you think the economy of such a country is normal?! ”

Roosevelt was stunned for a moment when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, and then said to Tu Qianjun after being silent for a while: "In fact, I don't know much about the economy, but the current situation and the estimation of economic experts seem that the entire United States is not in danger of entering a crisis. And in fact, it seems that the lives of all the people in the country are thriving, General Tu, are you thinking too much?! ”

Roosevelt's words were kind! If it is replaced by other people, it may be said that Tu Qianjun is alarmist and even misleading, and Tu Qianjun heard Roosevelt's words and was silent for a while before he sighed deeply and whispered to Roosevelt: "Dear Mr. Governor, let me make a bet with you!" Within three months, an extremely serious financial crisis will inevitably break out in the United States! This crisis will even spread to the whole world! ”

As he spoke, Tu Qianjun looked at Roosevelt solemnly and said in a deep voice: "I believe that this bet will not take more than three months for you to see the results, and the bet is three dollars!" ”
