Chapter 243 Deepening Cooperation
When Dong Ku pondered, Meng Zhaocheng's detachments had all arrived a day in advance, and even those small towns and stations were already in the sight of the scouts, with nothing to hide, just waiting for the early morning to launch a raid on the whole line.
Dong Ku returned to Harbin without going to the barracks, and went directly to see 'Christian' after putting on makeup.
"Mr. Sato, the head of state personally asked about the pipeline delivery time you mentioned, and advanced the delivery time by one month, and from today, it can be in place on March 15th, I wonder if your company can be satisfied?"
Hearing that it was a month in advance, Dong Ku Da Lu smiled and said, "Ha Lu Ha! It is a pleasure to cooperate with your country, and this delivery time has far exceeded my company's expectations, and I think our boss will also be satisfied. β
In fact, he didn't know that the delivery time was advanced because there was less sea transportation, and it came out of the steel mill in Shenyang, handed over by the Japanese to the Germans in Xinjing, and then escorted to Harbin by the Germans.
Fortunately, the three batches of equipment have been able to put all the personnel on Crescent Island in place, otherwise, it would really not be possible to take the tailwind boat that pulls the pipeline.
"Mr. Christian, I think your country has made enough sincerity that in this way, perhaps we will have greater possibilities for cooperation."
Looking at Dong Ku, who looked calm, a hint of ecstasy flashed in Christian's heart. Although Mitsuo Sato is not the boss of this weapons company, he can run away with sky-high aircraft design drawings, which is enough to show that he has a fairly high status in the company. And the meaning just now has obviously expressed their company's intention to have a bigger business than these two businesses, that is, there will be more advanced weapons!
"Mr. Sato, we, the head of state, have expressed great interest in cooperating with your company, and we are committed to each other's credibility and commitments. I hope that this cooperation will give us more opportunities to cooperate with each other, and our whole country is looking forward to the next cooperation with your company. β
Christian remained silent and sincerely expressed his intention to continue working together.
Of course, Dong Ku also has his plans, he smiled and said: "Our company not only has high-end weapons research and production institutions, we are involved in many aspects, such as food. Oil, steel, these, except for the current lack of opportunities for cooperation in food, I think oil and steel should have opportunities for cooperation. β
Oil, steel?
Christian was taken aback. This news is so important, the Yuan wants to accumulate force, steel and oil, which are quite critical resources. This is also the origin of why Lao Xi used the plane to change the steel pipe from the Japanese, he needed a lot of steel too much.
Christian struggled to keep himself smiling gentlemanly and asked, "Mr. Sato, do you mean crude oil by oil?" β
"Oh."
Dong Ku paused and said, "I'll add." It is not crude oil, but refined oil, including diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, and ancillary products of petroleum. β
Chrisan shook again, wondering what the hell this weapon company was. This requires a large petroleum smelter and a processing plant for ancillary products, which is not as simple as a plant.
He was shocked, but tried to keep his composure. He smiled and asked, "What about ...... How big can it be? β
"Ha Lu Ha!"
Dong Ku took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Christian-kun." You have to have confidence in our company, how can our company make a small workshop, you say no, I believe that our output, including steel. In a year's time, it will be a conservative estimate that your country will be able to consume one-third of your country's consumption, but it cannot be ruled out that your country will suddenly increase its consumption. It is possible to cause this ratio to fall. β
Third......
Christian could no longer be calm. It is important to know that the amount of steel used in domestic armaments has far exceeded that of World War I, that is to say, one-third of the current one-third is about the same as the amount of steel consumed during World War I, and the amount of oil is even more huge.
Christian didn't bother to think about why this weapons company had so much power, and where their oil and steel were produced, he wanted to know that it was not a joke.
"Mr. Sato, I wonder what your company needs? As long as these supplies are at the right price, how much we want, can you determine the plan that needs to be traded? β
"Christian, this is not in a hurry, now your country is not short of these materials, when your country needs it, we will do our best to produce for your country at the most moderate price, and the quantity will definitely satisfy your country." After blocking the negotiations, Dong Ku paused, giving Christian time to think and digest, Shaoqing, and then said, "As for the way of trading, we may exchange things, or gold and diamonds, these, we will set the price when the time comes, but you don't have to worry about the price, we need a long-term business partner, and we will not increase the price when these materials are in short supply, in order to reassure you and your country, we can sign a contract to set the price of these materials according to the current price, if the materials rise too much, If it exceeds the current price by more than 50%, our company will increase the price by 20% at most according to the increase rate, so what do you think? β
"You mean that as long as the increase is less than 50 percent, your company will keep the current original price?"
"Yes, Christian, our company needs a trusted, long-term partner, and of course will not give up cooperation for money."
Dong Ku smiled and gave Christian a sense of relief.
Dong Ku's promise gave Christian great confidence in cooperation, and he asked in ecstasy: "Mr. Sato, then, what does your company need us to do at the moment?" β
Dong Ku glanced at Christian, and admired the shrewdness of this product and the Western way of doing things without being carried away by interests. The first thing that came to his mind was that I needed to do something for you, not that you needed to do something for me, and it was a subtle difference, but it was a fundamental difference.
"At present, because our company is mainly based on the military industry, so the equipment is relatively lacking, my company wants to customize a batch of equipment in your country, and the price is determined by your country. Drawings and requirements are provided by us. β
Customized equipment ......
Christian had a brain teaser and instantly understood the relationship. The fact that the other company did not ask for planes and tanks, but used the method of purchase, shows that this company does business one yard at a time, and there is no shortage of money.
"Good! I am sure we will give your company a satisfactory price. Christian didn't even ask what equipment he had, and just said yes.
"That's it. Christian, you should discuss the matter of materials with that side first, if you are interested, you can contact my company's people in the original way, and then he will bring the equipment drawings to sign the contract and pay on behalf of the company, and the specific matters will be handled over there. β
Hearing Dong Ku say that he signed a contract over there, Christian smiled with satisfaction, he was really afraid of running back and forth, delaying things. It is inconvenient to get the FΓΌhrer to sign, and over there, he will save trouble, as long as he talks about it, the credit is designated as his.
The conversation was very pleasant, and after completing all the purposes of his visit, Dong Ku did not stay to eat with Christian, and he quietly left.
Christian didn't bother to have dinner with Dong Ku either. He waited for Dong Ku to leave, and couldn't wait to send electricity to Berlin. I told you all about these things in detail.
'Paricino', who had already taken over negotiations with ARMS and handled all business matters, was also shocked when he received Christian's message. There is steel is the most scarce material at present, not to mention how much you want, at least it is used to be very large, one-third, which can simply solve the gap between Germany in these two areas and is still rich.
He quickly fed back this information to Lao Xi. It was not surprising that he got Lao Xi's approval, as long as it is the business of this ARMS company, it is necessary to ensure the satisfaction of the other party, even if it is a little loss, do not lose the opportunity to cooperate. After all, this company must have better weapons in their hands, and that is what he needs most.
With Lao Xi's approval, Paricino found the Swiss liaison that Iron Luohan had left in Berlin less than an hour after Dong Ku and Christian had finished their conversation.
Tie Luohan had already obtained the required equipment drawings. Moreover, he was also in Berlin, and after receiving the news, he went directly to see Palicino for this round of negotiations arranged by Dong Ku.
Paricino was no stranger to the Iron Arhat, the man who sent the Iron Fist and the warship, and he was not surprised that he had been waiting in Berlin for a long time.
Maybe it's the company for efficiency.
Paricino pondered secretly, warmly invited Tie Luohan to take a seat, and asked directly to the point: "Mr. Cao, it is not too late to sign the contract for materials tomorrow, you first tell me what equipment your company needs, whether we can produce it, don't delay your company's affairs." β
"In addition to some lathes, we need oil refining equipment and drilling equipment, oil pipelines, steel mill equipment, and special steel plates."
Iron Luohan didn't bother with it, he directly opened the bag, took out the drawings and handed them to Paricino.
Paricino was in charge of this area, and although he was not an expert, he could see the difference in the equipment.
"Mr. Cao, the steelmaking equipment can be produced, there is no difficulty, the steel plate and the oil pipeline can also be, but the size of the oil well and the size of the drilling equipment cannot match the existing drill bit, you ......"
Tie Luohan smiled and said, "Mr. Paricino, we will figure out the drill bit ourselves, as long as the size of the equipment is okay." β
Paricino is old and strong, how could he not know that the other party obviously has a higher skill than the current drill bit in the drill bit, he asked this question is actually just to confirm the guess in his heart.
"Well, these equipment can be delivered in a small half a month, including oil pipelines and steel plates. We have ready-made steel plates of this thickness, as long as the arc is out, pipeline production, can reach the amount of shipment within ten days, to other large-scale equipment needs to be produced and assembled from scratch, at least one month to deliver. β
"No problem. A month is fast enough......"
Iron Arhat replied with satisfaction.
After the arrival of the professionals, the detailed calculation of the drawings and the conclusion that they were completely producible were happily signed.
After signing, Paricino had dinner happily, and waited for tomorrow to sign the contract with Lao Xi for oil and the supply just now.
After Paricino left in the Iron Arhat, he went to see Lao Xi in person.
"FΓΌhrer, judging from these materials and equipment, their oil and steel production is quite amazing, and there is no need to send people to follow their cargo ships......"
Lao Xi waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "The real strength of this company is weapon research, don't offend them for these materials that can be solved by money, not to mention that they have to sell to us after they produce it." Since they want to ship it by themselves, it means that they don't want us to know that we need to maintain cooperation with this company, so let's do what they ask us to do, and don't think about anything else. β
"Yes!"
Paricino's heart sank, and then he realized how important this company's position in Lao Xi's heart was.
Dong Ku also received a report from Tie Luohan when the two were talking, and learned that the equipment had been found, so he also settled down.
Several gold mines, rare metal mines, iron ores, coal mines, and later Gulf, that is, the location of Kuwait, and the location of several oil fields in the desert, have been built secret sites, especially oil fields and oil refineries, in the desert, in more than half a year, and even built a number of underground city-like cement factories, and several underground oil storage facilities waiting for oil storage tanks to be welded and placed.
Coal mines have been mined for a long time, but all the coal has been burned to coke to reserve coal for steelmaking in steel mills.
When the equipment is in place, as long as it is activated, the output is quite amazing, but it is not a value that the outside world can imagine.
One of the reasons why Dong Ku did not immediately talk about the steel and oil business was that at present the steel was only a small steel furnace, and there were a few miners and a large number of skilled workers. In addition to practicing skills for domestic workers, it is to provide rails and ore trucks for future mines, as well as the steel needed to build factories, which cannot meet the needs of mass production.
This is the result of Shao Pang being busy for more than half a year, fortunately, Dong Ku is rich, otherwise, just raising these idler-like workers and miners will make Shao Pang poor. Say, there are more than 150,000 troops, and it's all money.
However, after these troops have been trained and qualified, most of them have been diverted, and they have been deployed to the various locations where factories are built, and they have played the role of security guards with loaded guns.
During this period of time, Shao Pang took advantage of the limelight of the Voice of China to recruit enthusiastic young people and students in major cities in China, under the banner of a strong country, and really attracted a large number of young students. At this time, Pontianak's territory was already full of people, with guns roaring incessantly, and he was preparing for a possible battle to occupy the factory.
Shao Pang followed Liu Luocheng's suggestion, and was not stingy with money, he recruited a large number of people and trained a large number of soldiers, but he didn't know that Liu Luocheng actually had other intentions. (To be continued......)
