When Xu Bin and Booker's father and son were struggling with the problem of money, the owners of the unloaded ships finished paying the ship money and were soon arranged by Xu Jiajun to rest in the newly built Haode training town. Due to secrecy, the owners were also required to leave the lake at night. The purpose is also very simple, that is, to prevent the leakage of news, and for this reason, the expenses for them to rest here are all borne by Xu Jiajun. In this regard, the four merchants surnamed Xu Jiajun, who had only received Xu Jiajun, also welcomed guests from outside the training mountain for the first time.

For these boxes of goods unloaded from the cargo ship, although the villagers who saw the unloading were very curious, they saw that Xu Jiajun sent soldiers to guard the lake, and it was strictly forbidden for unrelated people to approach. Therefore, they all knew exactly what was in the wooden box, and even if they asked the owners of the ships who came into the shop to eat and rest, they got a 'can't say, I don't know'.

When Booker and his son rested in the reception room of the barracks until dinner, Xu Bin also took his second uncle and several of his generals to entertain their father and son in the barracks canteen. Although the meals are all made by the chef of the barracks cooking class, they use authentic mountain and lake flavors, and the Booker father and son are also full of oil.

After he was full of wine and food, Xu Bin began to invite Booker and his son to his combat headquarters in the barracks, and saw that the room was hung with maps and a small scale of the Linzhou Mansion sand table. Booker only thought that this sand table was very beautiful, but Laura, who had been in the army, said with a shocked face: "General Xu, is this sand table your masterpiece?" ”

This kind of sand table that is scaled down against the terrain is difficult to make without professional reconnaissance and mapping skills. Even if Laura once served in the Eagle Country Army, an officer who can make such a delicate water sand table, except for a group of senior staff officers in the headquarters, he really rarely sees Longhua State-owned officers who can make such an exquisite military sand table.

Xu Bin didn't explain anything about Laura calling herself a general, anyway, in the eyes of the father and son, he was the leader of the Longhua rebel army. The general shouted, just to make himself comfortable.

didn't understand why Laura was so interested in this sand table, Xu Bin smiled and said, "Mr. Laura, do you also understand this?" ”

When Sula heard this, he said very seriously: "General Xu, I once served in the army unit, so I know that this is called a military exercise sand table. As far as I know, this kind of sand table production is the first time I have seen such a delicate sand table in Longhua Kingdom, except for some senior staff officers who will make it. Can I take the liberty of asking, where did General Xu learn the production of this sand table? ”

Xu Bin really heard for the first time that most of the grassroots staff officers in later generations would make sand tables. Getting this time and space even shocked these foreign devils.

He explained with a smile: "I didn't think that Mr. Laura was once a soldier, it's rude!" In fact, this sand table is caused by my interest, I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I didn't have any toys in my childhood, so I had to find some mud references to pile this kind of sand table to entertain myself.

Later, as I grew older, I realized that this kind of military exercise sand table could improve the officer's understanding of unfamiliar places, so I took the time to make one, and I didn't expect it to make Mr. Laura smile. ”

'Dude can't tell you that the person standing in front of you is not a teenager, but a retired special officer of the elite special forces in a previous life, right? ’

In the face of Xu Bin's explanation, Laura, although she was a little skeptical, still sighed: "General Xu, you are really a military genius, I believe that your subordinates will definitely achieve greater victories under your leadership." ”

For the compliment of this foreign devil, Xu Bin said in his heart that this old foreign devil knows the tradition of the Longhua people better than Booker, and said with a smile: "Then borrow Mr. Laura's auspicious words, and everyone will get rich together." I've already seen the equipment you shipped this time, and although some of the equipment may have been poorly preserved and rusted, I can understand that there was a little problem with such a long transportation.

Therefore, apart from the last advance payment and the other supplies that Booker bought for me, the rest of the 950,000 Longyang bills of exchange are here, and Mr. Laura will count them. If nothing goes wrong, then our business is closed.

I also hope that this business can be used as the beginning of a good relationship of trust for us, if Mr. Laura does not think that I am weak, I will have more factory equipment in the future, I hope Mr. Sula can buy some for me! ”

Looking at the Longyang bills of exchange handed over by Xu Bin, which were the bills of exchange issued by their Eagle Country Bank in Longhua Kingdom, Laura did not order all of them, but handed them to Booker and said: "Actually, I came to Longhua this time, and the most important thing is to thank you for your help to Booker last time."

If it weren't for your help, my only child might not even be able to return to the motherland, and our family would have become a joke for the Ellen family. So, as Booker's father, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for reaching out to help Booker! ”

Looking at this old man in the Eagle Country who was over fifty years old, he gave himself a noble thank-you gift, Xu Bin snickered in his heart whether this was a different version of Uncle Benshan's flickering drama, and while making a lot of money, he also received the other party's gratitude.

But his face was very serious: "Mr. Laura is serious, in fact, Booker and I hit it off at first sight, and it stands to reason that we have a brotherly relationship with different surnames." Therefore, I think Mr. Laura can still call me Xiao Xu or Xiao Bin in the future, and I will also call Mr. Laura an uncle?

Of course, I'm just a bandit from a peasant in Longhua Country, and if Mr. Laura thinks that I and Booker have become brothers with different surnames, which is an insult to the reputation of your Ellen family, then I didn't say what I said just now. ”

This time Laura didn't reply, and Booker, who was sitting on the side, looked a little angry and said, "Xu, you're too uninteresting." Didn't you say last time that you wanted to be a brother with me? Why do you regret it now? I told you, I am me, the Ellen family is the Ellen family, and our friendship does not involve aristocrats or peasants. Do you doubt the sincerity of my friendship with you? ”

This little foreign devil is still in a hurry, so Xu Bin hurriedly said: "Brother Booker, don't be angry, count me wrong, I will give you Daoqian with tea instead of wine." However, I was also sincere just now, after all, you know that my identity is very embarrassing in Longhuaguo.

If you let people in your country know that you have this kind of relationship with me, I am afraid that it will also have a bad influence on your family. At least I know that you Eagle Nation people often regard the reputation of the nobility more than life and death. Isn't it? ”

In fact, Laura has no objection to Booker's friendship with Xu Bin. After all, although he also belongs to the Ellen family, he is not a member of the direct line in the true sense of the word. To put it bluntly, there is no right to inherit the title of nobility. Therefore, Booker and Xu Bin befriended each other, and from the perspective of doing business, it was naturally harmless and beneficial.

can start from the honor of the family, if Xu Bin's influence is too bad, people who know the details will feel that the people of the Ellen family have no eyes and fall in love with such a partner of Longhua who has no virtue and no quality. It was only from these two short contacts that Laura found that Xu Bin was a very cultivated and gentlemanly young man.

He didn't think that Xu Bin would do anything too hateful, so his son's friendship with him could deepen the relationship between the two parties, and it still had a non-negligible effect on them. After all, any friendship is based on equality and mutual benefit, and this is especially true for the kind of friendship that they have in the market.

After talking about personal matters, Xu Bin said in Laura's expectant eyes: "After receiving these production equipment, I realized that my industrial foundation is very weak at present, and if I want to put the rifle production line into operation, I may need to add some small factories with power and steel." Does my uncle have any advice for this? ”

Seeing that he didn't have to open his mouth, Xu Bin realized this problem, and when Laura felt that this was a different Longhua soldier, she smiled and said, "When I was on the road, I also worried about you." And in order to show the sincerity of our Ellen family, on the way to Longhua, I specially collected a list of some foreign businessmen who did business in Longhua. If General Xu wants to purchase these factories and equipment, my personal suggestion is best to solve it from Longhuaguo.

As far as I know, the early industrial base of your Longhua Kingdom was not bad, but with the poor management of your domestic rule, there have been many cases of production suspension and mortgage sales. If you don't mind, I can come forward to inquire for you, and I believe it will be much cheaper to buy those factory equipment as collateral in the name of the Ellen family.

It's just in business, those businessmen who do business in Longhua, although they will give me some discounts for the Ellen family, but the price should not be too cheap. The most important thing is how many factories General Xu wants to build, and how much production is there, all of which require you to provide me with a list.

Then I will contact the foreign businessmen in the business community of Longhua Kingdom to calculate an approximate number for you. However, in my judgment, it may also cost two million Longyang to build an industrial base that can supply the normal operation of this production line at the primary level. After all, if those guys didn't make a profit, they would definitely not easily sell those mortgaged factory equipment. ”

Two million can build a small industrial zone, Xu Bin has long been mentally prepared. He still has this money now, but considering that the equipment has arrived, there is no way to start work without workers.

Therefore, he also began to think about how to reduce the cost as much as possible, and build up his own team of technicians in the small industrial area at the minimum cost. This is related to the guarantee of how far Xu Jiajun can go in the future, and it is inevitable to be cautious!
