Chapter 326: My Conditions Are Your Must Agree to My Conditions
"Sir, I'm ...... What to do? β
Qin Wei is now a man of the hour, and what he has done can also be called stirring up the storm to a certain extent...... But Xu Yuanju didn't think he would have such an ability. He felt more and more that he was too far from someone like Qin Wei. Just like Qin Wei's two hands that "counterattacked" Yang Jie, he hadn't discussed it with them in advance, and he decided the matter directly. So much so that he felt that Qin Wei was somehow more dictatorial than Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, he just buried this idea deep in his heart and didn't dare to declare it. But no matter what, he had to ask Qin Wei what he, the chief of staff, needed to do.
"You asked me to arrange for the distribution of land to people, and then preside over the expansion, land reclamation or something...... But I don't have a clue at all. β
"If you don't have a clue, go for a clue. I don't know what Yang Jie has made this corps look like...... What I can mention to you is that in Yuxi, pay attention to a variety of flue-cured tobacco. I'll get a cigarette factory then. Qin Wei said.
"Cigarettes? Isn't it food? Xu Yuanju was puzzled, "What we lack most now is food." β
"Is tobacco expensive or food expensive?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.
"You don't have to ask. A pound of food can't buy a few cigarettes. Xu Yuanju said with a smile.
"Isn't that the end of it? With tobacco, the production of cigarettes can be exchanged for food. Qin Wei said.
"Are you thinking too easily? This cigarette is not something that can be produced by production, and almost all the cigarettes we sell in China are imported from abroad...... Moreover, is it good to grow tobacco in this part of Yunnan? I have heard that the tobacco in Shandong is good, and in the areas of Yunnan and Guizhou, there are many people who grow big tobacco. Xu Yuanju said.
"So you don't understand. Yuxi is a good place, where 'flue-cured' tobacco is grown, is it 'flue-cured tobacco'? Someone has done experiments. Definitely one of the best places in the country. If you do it well, you can win the reputation of 'the land of clouds and smoke'. Qin Wei said.
"Yuxi is the granary of Yunnan, I have checked, and there are no people in the corps there. Can Long Yun agree to let us go? Xu Yuanju asked.
"Then you're going to buy tobacco at a high price. I don't believe that the locals don't grow cigarettes. Remember, it's flue-cured tobacco! Qin Wei said.
"The people from Bayer are coming." Xu Yuanju wanted to ask again, but Zhou Tian walked in at the right time.
"I'll clean up the Germans, and you'll figure out the affairs of the corps yourself...... If it is done well, he may be able to become a high-ranking magistrate in the future, and the chairman of the remote province is not impossible to think about staying in the army. When you retire, you might be able to get a general. But if you can't do it, you're in this situation now. Do you understand? Qin Wei beckoned to Zheng Pingru, and then raised his hand to Xu Yuan.
"But sir......" Xu Yuanju smacked his lips. Figure it out yourself? This is a corps, a corps of farming. Although the prospects described by Qin Wei are good, he really has no bottom in his heart.
"It's nothing. When you are a soldier, how can you hesitate so much? That's it. Qin Wei waved his hand. Ignore him. followed Zheng Pingru.
β¦β¦
"That's what it takes to be an official in China...... It is possible to enjoy unimaginable treatment for non-officials without spending money. Jonas, what do you think of this villa? β
Leohard was in the living room looking at the dΓ©cor in the villa...... He didn't expect that he would be received by Qin Wei in advance. He had expected that he would join the pharmaceutical companies in England, the United States, and France in the so-called investment conference, but now it seems that the Chinese general has a greater affection for Germany than for other countries. Because when he received the invitation, the person sent by the other party was talking about the transfer of drug production methods.
"I've worked hard all my life, and I'm afraid I can't afford to buy a villa like this." Jonas shrugged. Noncommittal to Leohard's words.
"Don't underestimate yourself, friend, if you can really bring the mass production method of penicillin back to Germany, you will definitely be able to afford a villa." Leohard laughed.
"In my opinion. Chinese may not be easy to speak. My instincts tell me that this time the negotiations will definitely not go well. Jonas said.
"No, it seems to me that our negotiations will go well."
An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded beside the two, and although the reaction of the two was a little slow, since they could be sent to China, they naturally knew a little Chinese...... They quickly figured out what each other meant.
"Hello, General, I am Leo Harder, the representative of Bayer!" Leohard was the first to react, smiling and stretching out his hand towards Qin Wei.
"Leohard. Aylesnat! Senior Medical Representative of Bayer AG and Intelligence Officer of the German Foreign Office, am I right? Qin Wei shook hands with the other party and asked with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ Whatever you want. Leohard shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"Mr. Jonas is more formal...... You're the official representative of a pharmaceutical company, right? Qin Wei shook Jonas' hand again and asked with a smile.
"It can be seen that you have the most direct refreshment of a soldier, General. Well, since we can't hide anything from you, let's get straight to the point. Jonas smiled helplessly, "You were the first to meet us, did you think that we at Bayer had taken your proposal seriously enough, or did you ...... What other purpose? β
"I think you are better suited to serve in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs than Mr. Elsnat." Qin Wei smiled and motioned for the two to sit down, "But since you said so, then I won't sell it...... I'm going to set up a pharmaceutical factory and need some equipment. β
"Are you going to trade penicillin production methods for these devices?" Leohard asked, "With all due respect, Your Excellency, this seems to be a bit too expensive. You know, a pharmaceutical company......"
"Shut up!" Qin Wei glared at this guy, "I haven't had time for you to speak yet." I asked Mr. Jonas. β
"......" Leohard froze.
ββ¦β¦ So, what equipment do you need? Jonas was also a little overwhelmed by Qin Wei's move. I've never heard of someone shutting someone up during a negotiation, which is different from the legendary Chinese etiquette. But seeing Qin Wei staring at him, he still unconsciously asked his own question.
"I've got a list here." Qin Wei stretched out his hand, took a piece of paper from Zhou Tian's hand and handed it over...... Zhou Tian knew many Chinese, and originally wanted to be a translator, but he didn't expect that the two Germans actually knew Chinese. She could only remain silent.
"That's too much." Jonas quickly skimmed through the list and shook his head repeatedly, "General, your appetite is too great. Penicillin production methods are not worth so much. And you're not just building a pharmaceutical factory, you're going to have enough equipment to rebuild a Bayer. β
"You're underestimating Bayer, Mr. Jonas." Qin Wei said with a smile: "My things are far from enough to build Bayer, I just want to build a relatively large-scale pharmaceutical factory." β
"But that's enough equipment for you to build 10 pharmaceutical factories." Leohard took the list from Jonas and read it, and immediately became anxious.
"Just like the advent of sulfonamides, the emergence of penicillin is equally epoch-making. It's worth the price. In fact, if not in the midst of a war. I simply can't sell the penicillin production method, because the stakes are so great, too big to be true. Qin Wei said with a smile.
"But it was precisely because of the war that whoever worked out the method first would not be long. This method will also be spread throughout the world. Leohard said.
"Penicillin has been produced and used in China for more than half a year, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. But until now. I haven't heard of any country where there is a manufacturer of the same penicillin. Qin Wei said: "This is a large-scale production method, gentlemen!" You're not trading, you're saving people. Germany has re-embarked on the path of declaring war on Britain and France, so your decision will have the potential to save thousands of German soldiers, even if it is only a moment in the morning. As a practitioner in the field of medicine. I think it should be clear to you: life is priceless! β
"But we still can't accept it. You need enough equipment to build 10 pharmaceutical factories...... If we put all this equipment in your hands, why are we not giving up on treating our own soldiers? Leohard said.
"Doesn't having equipment but no means mean nothing at all?" Qin Wei smiled: "Of course, I know that my request may make it difficult for you to accept it for a while. Why don't we talk about something else first? β
"What deal?" That's probably the point. Leohard is in his seat.
"We have successfully developed a microwave gunner-sighting radar, and I can assure you that this is the world's first automatic tracking gun-sighting radar. It works in conjunction with the commander and can significantly increase the hit rate of anti-aircraft gun fire! For example, in the past, when we used to use anti-aircraft guns to hit planes, it could take a thousand shells to shoot down a fighter, but if you have this gun-sighting radar, congratulations, because you will save 950 shells. Qin Wei said with a smile.
"It can't be. In the face of high-speed moving aircraft, it is impossible for anti-aircraft guns to achieve such accuracy......" Leohard stood up in surprise, but still with a look of disbelief.
"You're talking about artificially controlled anti-aircraft guns, but I'm talking about 'automatic,' a new weapon that automatically adjusts the direction of fire according to the microwaves reflected by the radar. It's like the fire control system of a battleship. It's small, but it's significant. Qin Wei smiled: "If you don't believe me, you can go and consult your scientists, and I believe they can give you a very clear answer." β
ββ¦β¦ So what are you going to trade this radar for? Or do you want to add it to our conditions regarding penicillin production methods? Jonas asked again.
"No, no, no, I didn't say I was going to sell this radar to you." Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Not for sale? So what do you mean? Or do you simply not have this so-called gun-sighting radar? Leohard asked.
"Of course I have, if you need it, I can have someone take you to see how accurate the new anti-aircraft gun equipped with this radar is......" Qin Wei said.
"Then I don't understand, since you don't sell, why do you want to tell us?"
"Simple, my condition is: you can not sell this radar to the British, but you must agree to my conditions!"
"......" (To be continued......)
