When Yang Feng returned to New York from Atlanta, a British diplomat and a Scotts shipyard clerk were already waiting at home.

"Ah, two dear friends, I think you must have brought me a plan for the modification of my ship, right?" The thing immediately said with an enthusiastic face.

"Indeed, Mr. Yang, we have brought three options for you to choose from, but before that we hope you can give us an explanation, what is the difference between the shells of your self-propelled guns and ordinary shells, and what is the extra device at the bottom of your warhead?" The diplomat, surnamed Chandes, said in a serious manner.

The British are not stupid, their technical personnel will definitely test the artillery after they arrive in Beiping, and they will test the range of the artillery at various charges, and as a result, as soon as they look at the projectile charge, they conclude that even if it is the largest charge, it is impossible to hit 20 kilometers away, and they are all experts in playing this, which still cannot deceive them.

Immediately afterwards, they discovered that Yang Feng's warhead was different from others, and there was an extra special device underneath, and they immediately understood that the 20-kilometer range must be related to this thing.

"This is a shell range extender device developed in our laboratory!" Yang Feng said casually.

Chandes gritted his teeth, trying to control the desire to go up and bite him, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Mr. Yang, you don't seem to have mentioned this point all along, right?" ”

"Ah, yes, maybe I was negligent, of course, when you negotiated with me in China, you only asked me about artillery, and you didn't care much about the ammunition part, and I specifically proposed that the agreement did not include the ammunition part, and you agreed to this." Yang Feng said a little apologetically.

Chandes' chest heaved sharply, and the clerk of the Scotts shipyard next to him looked at him with some concern, for fear that he would make some irrational move.

However, Chandis was a diplomat after all, and quickly regained his composure, and then said to Yang Feng, who was looking at him with a pure face: "Mr. Yang." Your ammunition system wouldn't have already been sold to the Germans, would it? ”

"Of course, I am good friends with Mr. Todman, and this time because of your and France's interference, I have broken my promise to him, which is already very disturbing to me, since you do not need ammunition systems. Then naturally, he can't even meet his little request. ”

"So what is the price of your shells? We would also like to be able to buy a batch. Chandes said with a gloomy face.

"It's very expensive, and I promised Todman that I wouldn't sell shells to other countries."

"On paper?"

"No, it's just verbal, we don't need to go through the hassle!"

"So what price do you need to default again?"

"Isn't that okay? Breaking my trust twice in a row will cause a great blow to my reputation, and you also know that I am a businessman, and my reputation is very important, once I lose my reputation. It's hard for me to do business. ”

"Since it's a business, there's always a price, is that okay? As long as you agree to sell us shells, then we can do the modification for you free of charge. Chandes said that was what he was here for.

"Is my credibility worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? If you say that again, I will consider it an insult from you to me. Yang Feng said with an indignant face.

He really doesn't want to sell the bottom row range extender to others, of course, if the profit is large enough, then think about it separately.

"Mr. Yang. We don't need to say these useless words, you can make an offer! Chandes said in a stiff tone.

Yang Feng didn't mind much about this. Since he is here to send money to himself, then he can be considerate, after all, any person who knows that the country he represents has been pitted, and then he has to continue to send it to the door and then let the other party cheat, at this time a little emotion is also worth understanding.

The cargo hesitated there for a long time before sighing. He said helplessly: "Mr. Chandes, you really make me very embarrassed.

But first I need to ask you whether you are coming on behalf of the British Government or both of the United Kingdom and France. ”

"I only speak for the British government!" Chandes gave him a meaningful look.

"Ah, so be it. The cost of the ship's refit is naturally yours, and the price of the shells is calculated according to gold, one-tenth of the same weight of gold. ”

"Tens of thousands of dollars a shell?" Chandes couldn't control it anymore and suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

"Is it much? I don't think it's much, so let's take a step back and you can only buy warheads, and you don't have to buy the launch part! Yang Feng waved his hand generously.

But even so, a shell costs fifty or sixty thousand dollars, and the clerk of the Scotts shipyard next to him is stupid, he can't imagine that his life savings are only equivalent to the warhead of a cannonball here in Yang Feng.

Qian Desi brushed his sleeves away, he was not interested in telling Yang Feng any politeness, since this matter is no longer up to him, then don't be angry here, in case he gets angry and has a heart attack, it will not be good.

Looking at his back, Yang Feng smiled treacherously, he was not prepared to compromise on this asking price, if the shells were not sold to the Germans, he naturally did not have the confidence to open his mouth like this, but since the shells had arrived in Germany, then the British had to pay this money if they wanted to gain the balance of power.

And this is still a long-term business, that thing is not to buy one and go back to imitate, you have to experiment again and again, one batch is not enough, then you have to buy another batch, when he thinks that he can continue to get gold from the British, he can't help but be excited.

"Mr. Chris, huh? Let's discuss the details of the modification," he said after being excited, he remembered that there was another one waiting next to him.

Now someone pays for themselves, so the more luxurious the modification, the better, the place where you can use gold plating, you must not use brass, you can use leather, crystal chandeliers, wool carpets, high-end wood furniture, these are all must-haves.

What other swimming pools, bars, large baths where seven or eight people can play in the water at the same time, large beds for three or four people to gallop across the water, and even bedding is included, and he wrote a thick pile of details to Chris, during which he also invited the most defeated woman around him to be a staff officer.

Margaret was naturally enthusiastic about this kind of squandering of money, and knew that this was not a squander of Yang Feng's own money, then it would be even more squandering, according to their request. The cost of the modification alone would have to exceed half a million dollars.

"Okay, let's do it first! I'll let you know when I think about it later, and in addition, you can leave me another cargo hold, which doesn't need to be too big, it can carry two or three hundred tons of cargo, and it must be guaranteed to be able to go directly from Shanghai to Hawaii at a speed of 30 knots. This is the principle that cannot be changed in any way. Yang Feng said to Chris.

"Mr. Yang, that's exactly what I'm saying, no matter how we change it, the Galatea can't have a cruising range of more than 3,000 nautical miles at a speed of 30 knots, you have to understand that." Chris said with a straight face.

"That's fine, as long as you can get to the Marshall Islands, it's a big deal to resupply there on the way." Yang Feng nodded and said, the 30-knot, 5,000-nautical-mile voyage is indeed terrifying. This is a steam turbine that burns oil, not a nuclear reactor.

"But you must be faster in the speed of the modification, try to complete it before I return to China, I will go to the UK to receive it by the way, you don't have to worry that your government will not agree to my request, even if they don't agree to the modification fee, I can pay it myself, so you don't need to think about the money, you must ensure the quality, if there is a quality problem." Then don't blame me for bothering you. Yang Feng said.

"Please be completely assured that we have nothing to do with the matter between you and the government. We only know about shipbuilding. Chris said with a smile.

After sending Chris away, Margaret immediately wrapped herself around Yang Feng excitedly.

"Traveling around the world, and it's our own private yacht, no, you have to take me with you this time!" She said coquettishly.

"No, no, absolutely not!" Yang Feng was taken aback. Take your lover to see your fiancée, you have to think about how many kicks the donkey has to kick to get out.

"Isn't it okay if I don't go to Germany? I can stay in France when the time comes. Margaret threw her arms around his neck and begged.

The fiery little ass rubbed Xiao Yang Feng, and it was indeed not easy to refuse in such a situation.

"Okay, but you can't go with you to China, at most I'll take you to Singapore." Yang Feng said dryly.

Margaret immediately looked tearful.

"Good. You also know that I am not married, and even if I want to bring you back, at least I will have to wait until I marry them. Yang Feng hurriedly coaxed her.

After the British were trapped, it was the turn of the French, since Chandes said that he only represented the British government, then that means they left their allies aside, the French were not as efficient as the British, and they did not find Yang Feng until the next day, but in fact they were more urgent than the British, and the self-propelled guns could not hit the other side of the channel no matter how far they were, but they had to deal with the Germans on land.

Therefore, the attitude of the French was better, and they did not show the slightest indignation at Yang Feng's deception, which was probably also related to the fact that Marguerite sat next to her, and the Gallic chickens always liked to behave a little more gentlemanly in front of beautiful women.

"Mr. Yang, we need your shells, you can make an offer!" The French diplomat said.

"I'm sure you know what I offer to the British, right?" Yang Feng asked.

"We've just learned."

"Alright then, same offer, but I have one additional request, a small request."

"Please!" The French naturally knew that Yang Feng could not have had no additional requirements.

"Build me two high-speed torpedo boats, the displacement does not need to be too large, I will only use them to defend the mouth of the Haihe, you should know the mouth of the Haihe, right?"

"Yes, I can promise you directly!" The French were very happy, two small torpedo boats, a displacement of several hundred tons, and the cost of up to ten shells, he did not need to pass through the country for this little thing.

"But you have to promise us one condition, you can no longer supply the Germans with such shells."

"I can promise that." Yang Feng said that they probably didn't know how many shells the Germans bought, and in their opinion, the Germans would definitely not buy a lot at once, and cutting off their follow-up supplies would be somewhat beneficial, of course, they wouldn't think like this if they knew that the Germans got a thousand at once.

Yang Feng's purpose in buying torpedo boats is very simple, from modern times, to get a few heavy torpedoes, line or acoustic self-guidance, and then install them on these torpedo boats, specially used to block the mouth of the Haihe River, these heavy torpedoes usually have a range of more than 50 kilometers, it is not impossible to get rid of the Japanese battleships, as for the personnel, it is a big deal to get some training materials, just pick out people to practice slowly.

After solving the problem of his own artillery shells, Yang Feng was invited by DuPont to participate in the nylon production ceremony. It has to be said that the efficiency of the Americans is too slow, of course this is a good thing for Yang Feng, and DuPont invited him mainly for the pricing of nylon stockings.

At this point, the two sides have long agreed to adopt a uniform price to avoid competition with each other, and now Yang Feng sells stockings for fifty dollars a pair. This price is indeed a little higher, he is not limited by production capacity, he can sell as much as he likes, but DuPont is not good, they sell less means that the product is backlogged, so after serious discussion, the two sides decided to sell a pair of stockings for ten dollars!

In addition to DuPont, Dow Chemical has also been officially put into production during this time, and their polyethylene project has also been put into production. However, to their dismay, they faced competition from Japanese products as soon as they started production, which made the boss of Dow Chemical extremely annoyed.

"There's really nothing I can do about this, your construction speed is too slow, and you got authorization from me earlier than the Japanese." Yang Feng said, he wished that this situation would happen! It is expected that these big companies that influence the US government will have no patience with the Japanese.

"Mr. Yang, it is said that you have applied for a patent for a synthetic material called polypropylene?" The boss of Dow Chemical asked, this was his main purpose.

"Yes!" Yang Feng readily admitted.

"So who are you going to work with?"

"Same as polyethylene."

"Why can't you just work with one company? Like us? ”

Because I want to watch you fight with the Japanese. Yang Feng thought in his heart, of course, he couldn't say that: "I can't help it." The Japanese pushed me too hard, and you know that their army was just over a hundred kilometers from my home.

They told me to only work with them, or they would attack Doron, which was my ally's zone, what could I do? I had to compromise with them, but not to let them have it to themselves. That's why we treat it the same way as polyethylene! Even so, they were not happy with me, and the last time I passed through Japan, they deliberately drove their battleship Nagato out to scare me, and even detained my Japanese lady. If I had cooperated with other countries this time, they would not have been prepared to let my wife go back. Yang Feng said with an aggrieved face.

"Will you then give in to them?" The boss of Dow Chemical hurriedly asked, he didn't care about Mrs. Yang Feng's problem! There are a lot of ladies in this car, and it is not a big deal to think that one or two are missing.

"Of course not, the more they are like this, the less I will give in to them, isn't it a woman? How could I be threatened because of a woman! Yang Feng roared with a look of majesty.

Wandering around the United States, especially those that have been put into production, these guys will naturally not honestly pay tribute to Yang Feng, especially represented by Michelin, who now regret not directly buying Yang Feng's radial tire patent, so they are very unhappy about the patent fee.

"Monsieur Hollande, I am a businessman who attaches great importance to integrity, and the reason why a contract is a contract is because of its inviolable sacredness, and I abhor any breach of contract, I want you to know that." Yang Feng said with a hideous face to the representative of Michelin who was responsible for negotiating with him.

"Mr. Yang, you misunderstood, we didn't want to breach the contract, but we think that the patent fee set before was too high, 20 percent is a bit too much, and we think 5 percent is more reasonable." Hollande said hurriedly.

"Don't you think that's ridiculous, Mr. Hollande? Why do you have no opinion on royalties before? Now that you see that radial tires are selling hot, and you are beginning to have opinions on patent fees, is this your integrity? I'm sorry, there is no room for compromise in this matter, if you don't pay the royalties according to the contract, then we can only meet the court, and the next time we will negotiate with you is our lawyer from Jinyuan Company.

And I don't have much patience, if I don't see the patent fees you pay according to the contract within half a year, then I will open the patents of radial tires to all tire manufacturers in the world for free, I don't care about this money, but I absolutely can't tolerate the sacredness of the contract being violated? Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

Yang Feng is not worried that Michelin will not give in, they are just making less money on radial tires, but if all competitors get Yang Feng's patent license for free, then it will undoubtedly be a disaster for them.

Michelin's courage did not last long, in fact, a week after Yang Feng left, they began to pay the patent fees they owed before, Yang Feng has the meridian patents of all the members of the Paris Convention, and they can't get around this terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex anyway.

With this example of killing chickens and monkeys, several other companies that defaulted on patent fees quickly understood that when they faced Yang Feng, they actually had no cards to play, so they could only obediently confess to him.

After Yang Feng stayed in the United States for a month, the price of silver in the American market had reached his ideal price, which was much earlier than the original history, and the more than 100 tons he had hoarded before had already affected the market.

"Boss, it's time to make a move, right?" In Yang Feng's luxuriously decorated living room, Lu Yongnian said somewhat excitedly.

Now all Yang Feng's important employees in the United States have gathered together, Qin Songnian, Wu Boming, Thomas, the three heads of JY Company, Lu Yongnian, the general manager of the just-established Quantum Fund, and even Rohart, the manager of Cherokee Company, Thomas and Lockhart are the first to know that they have hoarded 140 tons of silver under their feet, and if the current price of silver is 50 million US dollars.

Oh my God, what a huge fortune this is, when these two people looked at Yang Feng, they both felt that this guy was covered in silver. (To be continued......)
