"General Madan, this is a million dollars, you check it a priori."

Xia Han said and pushed a check in front of the Frenchman opposite, as soon as the French lieutenant general saw a series of zeros on the check, his eyes were a little spent, he took it in his hand, and looked at it carefully, although he was a lieutenant general, but Madan's salary was just to maintain an ordinary life.

Especially after experiencing this cruel war, the lieutenant general has been a little numb by death, and he hopes to never fight this kind of war again, and he wants to enjoy life well, while he is not completely old, wine and beauty are his favorite things.

After Xia Han arrived in Europe, he has been feeling the situation, and after about two months of investigation, he knows the status of Ma Dan, and also knows his preferences, this general is in charge of the temporary management of the Ruhr area, and he is responsible for dismantling the factory and equipment, and the authority is amazing.

For such a money-greedy and lustful general, using money is the most impressive to him, Xia Han directly threw out the dollar check. Seeing Ma Dan, who was extremely happy, Xia Han also showed a smug smile, these foreigners are not remarkable, the same greed.

"Your Excellency, as long as the equipment of the steel plant is successfully delivered, another million dollars will be remitted to your account."

When Ma Dan heard this, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his eyes showed an incomparably greedy color, and he suddenly asked, "Xia, don't you want to think about something else?" ”

"Oh?" Xia Han raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Your Excellency General, what are you referring to?" ”

"Of course, all kinds of machinery and equipment, I have countless equipment in my hands, not only steel plants, but also fertilizer factories and metallurgical plants. Machine building plants, as long as you need, can be traded in this way. ”

This time it was Xia Han's turn to be surprised, it seems that this Frenchman is even more daring than he imagined, a typical rich man dares to sell anything, in fact, this is also in his arms, with such a greedy guy, he doesn't have to worry about not getting good things.

"Your Excellency General, I only purchase the most useful things, and those factories are probably not as valuable as the steel mills?" Xia Han played a game to get away with.

Who knew that Ma Dan was directly fooled. He hurriedly said: "Those factories are very good, although they are worse than those in France, but they are also very useful, and the price is negotiable, I can ask for a little less!" ”

As soon as Ma Dan said this, he said. I also feel a bit like a street vendor, which is really detrimental to my identity. He could only add: "Xia." The peace conference has already been held, and the damned United States and Britain are demanding that France withdraw its troops from the Ruhr, they bastards, they don't know how much the French paid for the victory, and this should be ours! ”

Xia Han also understood this time, and the general knew that his power would expire at any time. So I want to catch as much as I can before that.

Xia Han's brows furrowed slightly, and he was ruthless, and then said, "Your Excellency, General, I will pay you five million dollars at one time. Whatever machinery and equipment I pull in the Ruhr area, you have to cooperate with it fully. I will deposit this money for you in a special account in a Swiss bank, and you can withdraw it at any time, what do you think? ”

Million! After Ma Dan heard this number, his mind was full of stars, he had already been stunned, this guy thought that it would be good for Xia Han to produce another one or two million, but he knew that five million was mentioned at once, how could he not be ecstatic!

This kind of dignified lieutenant general suddenly nodded again and again: "Don't worry, as long as I am still in charge of the Ruhr area, you can act as you like, and the French side will do its best to provide convenience!" ”

Ma Dan thought that he had picked up a big bargain, and Xia Han was even more secretly happy in his heart, not to mention spending five million US dollars, even if he spent another 10 million, he admitted it. The Ruhr area is the industrial center of Germany, and in addition to the large steel mills, there are also a large number of machine builders, with large mining machinery, large water forging presses and die forging presses, and other treasures that money cannot buy.

When the plan was first formulated, Xia Han didn't dare to fight these things, but seeing that the French were so greedy, and it was the most disorderly time in Europe, the leaders of various countries gathered in Paris, and they were constantly arguing like hawkers for each other's interests.

If you don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get all the equipment you need back, it is simply a crime, and you have to transport it back to China to store it, even if you can't use it for the time being, and after this village, there will be no such store.

After talking to Ma Dan, Xia Han immediately began to prepare, and he also knew that although the peace meeting would not be short, it was still too short for the relocation of these machines and equipment, and it must be coordinated and transported away as soon as possible.

He hurriedly found Kwong Rongguang and told him about the meeting with Ma Dan. After Kuang Rongguang listened, his eyes also lit up, he didn't expect that he could smash a way just by relying on money.

"It's worth the $7 million, it's worth it! With Ma Dan's permission, we can use the name of purchasing scrap iron and scrap machinery to transport these treasures, usually tens of millions, hundreds of millions of yuan can not get the treasures, now only a few million cabbage prices can be bought, it is really good, now the most important thing is to act quickly. ”

Xia Han also nodded and said: "The old chief has specially arranged a transport fleet, and there is just the Rhine River passing through here, so that the ships can directly reach the Ruhr, and then load the ships and transport them away directly, so take advantage of the current chaos and quickly transport them back to China!" ”

"Okay, that's it, we've made a lot of money this time, and after we go back, I'm afraid we'll be happy with our humble words!"

Zhang Tinglan has long made a variety of preparations in order to copy Europe, Xia Han and Kuang Rongguang are just a delegation to determine the procurement project, and there are other manpower to cooperate with the action.

Among them, there is a banking system, which is responsible for finance, a special person responsible for transportation, a special relocation team, and a professional research team, everyone works closely together to form a close whole, and when they make a decision in the summer and cold, the various departments begin to operate efficiently.

The first to be moved onto the ship were the two steel plants, which is the basis of everything, after the steel plant was moved, Xia Han originally advocated the transfer of the synthetic ammonia factory, but Kuang Rongguang stopped it.

"Xia Han, we have more important treasures to transport, these are all things that money can't buy, if you miss it, you will definitely regret it!"

"Mr. Kwong, tell me quickly, what is so important? More important than synthetic ammonia! ”

"Forging Press!" Kuang Rongguang gently spit out three words, Xia Han was still a little confused, Kuang Rongguang continued: "The forging press is a machine used to form metal raw materials, simply put, it is to process large parts. Whether it is automobiles, or ships, metallurgy, steel rolling, Chinese workers, military industry, as long as it is a place where large-scale equipment is needed, it is inseparable from large-scale forging presses, it can be said that this is the treasure of the town, the foundation of industrial manufacturing, in the past is definitely something that money can not buy, if you don't take advantage of the current to get a few back, we don't regret dying! ”

Xia Han heard Kuang Rongguang's explanation, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Kuang, just do as you say, but we can't take small ones, we must get the most haode things!" ”

"Don't worry, I have taken a fancy to a 3,000-ton die forging press, which is the most advanced equipment in Germany, and two 7,000-ton free forging hydraulic presses. This is a full industrial giant machine, as long as we move back to China, we want to produce all kinds of large-scale equipment, there is a basic guarantee. Moreover, the Japanese do not have this level of equipment at all, and after we get it, the production efficiency can be increased by at least five times, and it can also save half of the raw materials. ”

The more Kuang Rongguang introduced, the more tempted Xia Han became, at the beginning Kuang Rongguang said that they only pay attention to the production of product machines, and do not pay attention to the production of machine machines, is a short-sighted behavior, now look at it, how correct, with such a large machine, you can produce and develop key equipment by yourself, and never have to be controlled by others.

If there is no such thing, machinery and equipment are moving forward all the time, which means that we must continue to import equipment from China, and we will never be able to truly stand on our own!

"Mr. Kuang, don't say anything, let's hurry up, don't delay!"

After Xia Han and they determined the strategy, they launched the operation as fast as possible, and there were constantly ships coming from all over the Rhine River, and then loaded with boats and ships of equipment to leave Germany, a considerable number of which were called by Zhang Tinglan, some of these ships under the flag of the United States, some under the flag of the Japanese, and some under the banner of Latin American countries, crossing the ocean and heading towards China.

After the relocation of the Ruhr area has a little eyebrows, Xia Han did not rest, and ran to Paris non-stop, the French dismantled a large number of equipment, all shipped back to China, including a large number of machine tools, which is the basis of the manufacturing industry, German machine tools are traditional strengths, Xia Han is also coveted, after getting those key factories and equipment, if you can get some high-performance machine tools, everything will be perfect.

As soon as he arrived in Paris, he bumped into an old acquaintance Gu Weijun at the hotel where he was staying, and he was sitting in a corner of the hall. Being in a foreign land, it is also a kind of fate to be able to meet by chance, and Gu Weijun is a diplomat, so he must know more news, so Xia Han walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Gu, let's meet again, it's always been good!"

Gu Weijun looked at Xia Han and was also stunned: "Mr. Xia, don't you want to purchase equipment, is everything done?" ”

"I made a little purchase, but I always have to be careful in what I sell, and I use the money wisely, so I didn't come to Paris to see how it went."

After sitting down, Gu Weijun said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, your original idea was completely right, the great powers were not reasonable at all, none of the seven conditions we put forward could be realized, and what was even more infuriating was that we couldn't even retain the power of Shandong, this victorious country was really not interesting!" After Gu Weijun finished speaking, he lowered his head, his fists clenched. (To be continued......)
