Chapter 258: Negotiation 4 (Third Update) (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Miscellaneous !! )
Thought is the guide to action, and once the thought is unified, then doing things will be more effective with half the effort. Since both sides have the intention of cooperation and the basis for cooperation, the next negotiations will be much smoother, and when Chen Feng and Little John came out of the conference room, their faces were full of smiles.
After negotiations, Chen Feng and the 40th Army behind Chen Feng provided the US government with $1 billion in penicillin drugs every month, and at the same time authorized the US government to have exclusive agency rights for countries in South America and Oceania, and Chen Feng also sold the production technology of 120-caliber heavy mortars, M101 heavy howitzers, and M1911 pistols to the US government.
On the premise of severing the trade of war materials with Japan and no longer providing loans to Japan, the US Government will pay Chen Feng a one-time agency fee of $1 billion and the cost of purchasing production technology, and will also produce five aircraft carriers, three battleships, 10 heavy cruisers, 20 light cruisers, 20 frigates, 50 destroyers, 50 torpedo boats, four landing craft, 20 submarines, three supply ships, three minelayers, and eight minesweepers for Chen Feng in the next three years. A total of 196 warships.
The US government also offered Chen Feng a very favorable price for these warships, $150 million for each aircraft carrier, $100 million for each battleship, $55 million for each heavy cruiser, $30 million for each light cruiser, and $12 million for each frigate. $10 million each for destroyers, $3 million for torpedo boats, $5 million for landing craft, $18 million for submarines, $16 million for supply ships, $16 million for minelayers, $12 million for minesweepers.
In addition, the US government will provide Chen Feng's unit with 500 Martin B-10 bombers within one year, and the price of each fighter is $100,000, which is basically close to the cost price of aircraft manufacturers.
In addition, Chen Feng also placed 4 steel helmet production lines to American companies, each with 9 million US dollars; 5 sets of industrial machine tool production equipment. $8 million per set; 2 saber production lines. $1.5 million per day; 2 fertilizer production lines, $12 million each; 2 lunch box production lines, $1 million each; 2 kettle production lines, $1 million each; 5 production lines for military boots. $8,000,000 each; 5 military uniform production lines. $8,000,000 each; 10 sets of leather processing equipment. $100,000 per set; 10 compressed biscuit production lines, $200,000 each; 5 canning lines, $4 million each; In addition, there are 2 production lines for torpedoes, as well as production lines for naval guns of various calibers. In addition, the U.S. government will provide Chen Feng's department with 5 million tons of rubber per year, and the total contract value of all orders is 8.8 billion US dollars.
Although it takes three years to complete the warship order, the other orders of nearly $3 billion can be traded in a short period of time. Moreover, with penicillin drugs as collateral, the U.S. government does not have to worry about Chen Feng defaulting on the debt. Thinking about the huge order of up to $8.8 billion, John Jr. is excited.
This can not only greatly increase the financial revenue of the US government, but more importantly, when enterprises receive so many orders, they need to produce at full capacity and recruit people from the society, which is of great benefit to stimulating employment and greatly reducing the burden on the government. In addition, there are many other benefits that can be seen and not seen, as Chen Feng said, it is very profitable to cooperate with him.
Another point is that Chen Feng can allow the US Government not to disclose the contents of the transaction with him, which means that as long as the US Government does secretively, it can earn this huge profit without offending the Japanese, and a pretext for strictly abiding by the China Law will be completely resolved, which will be beneficial to the US Government and will do no harm.
As a result, although the negotiation took a lot of words, the result was that both sides were satisfied, especially after Chen Feng privately promised to increase the Morgan family's market share to $100 million a month, and the relationship between the two sides became significantly closer.
After the conclusion of the negotiations with the US Government, Chen Feng did not take a break and met with the Soviet representatives on 9 November, and after learning that the head of the Soviet delegation was called Zhdanov, Chen Feng stopped going around in circles and immediately launched comprehensive negotiations with him.
Chen Feng attached great importance to this Zhdanov, because he knew that this Zhdanov was one of Stalin's most trusted Soviet officials, and this person was also Stalin's in-laws, and Stalin's eldest daughter was married to Zhdanov's son.
Zhdanov had a high status in the Soviet Union, and he was born in Mariupol to a family of inspectors of a national secondary school. During the First World War, together with the other members of the Tver Committee of the Social Democratic Labour Party. Together with the Rssheviks, they actively defended the columns. The line of the Ning Party on turning the imperialist war into a civil war. He was later drafted into the Tsarist Russian army. After the February Revolution of 1917, he was elected a member of the regimental committee. Participation in the October Society in the Urals. Preparations for an armed uprising of the Communist revolution. He was the first chairman of the Shadrinsk Soviet. October News Agency of Soviet Russia. After the victory of the Congressist Revolution, he was a member of the Shadrinsk County Soviet Agricultural Committee.
During the period of the Russian Revolutionary War and the opposition to foreign armed intervention, Zhdanov took an active part in the fight against the workers and peasants of Soviet Russia. Organization and political education of the first units of the army in the Urals and Tver, political work in the troops. Since 1924 he has served as the head of the Nizhny Novgorod Province of the Communist Party of the United States. Secretary of the CPC Gorky Territory. Secretary of the Party Committee. In February 1934, he was transferred to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Secretary of the Central Committee. In March 1938, he was appointed Chief of the Navy. Member of the Board of Governors. Not so long ago, he concurrently served as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It can be said that this person was one of Stalin's most trusted officials at this time, and Stalin was able to send this person to negotiate with him, and it can be seen that Stalin was very sincere.
Sure enough, the negotiations with Zhdanov were much smoother than those with John Jr., according to the agreement between the two sides, Chen Feng provided the Soviet Union with $500 million in penicillin drugs every month, and at the same time handed over the exclusive agency rights of Eastern European and West Asian countries to the Soviet government. In addition, Chen Feng had to sell the production technology of 120-caliber heavy mortars, M101 heavy howitzers, Thompson submachine guns and M1911 pistols to the Soviet government.
The price to be paid by the Soviet government was to pay Chen Feng a lump sum of $1 billion in agency fees and the cost of weapons production technology, and at the same time to build four heavy cruisers, two battleships, 10 Kilo-class light cruisers, 10 destroyers, 10 frigates, eight guards warships, five transport and rescue ships, three low-string warships, 20 submarines, five submarine hunters, 10 torpedo boats, two minelayerers, and three minesweepers for Chen Feng's department within two years, totaling 92 ships.
In addition, the Soviet Union will provide Chen Feng's unit with 500 Yi-16 fighters and 300 Yak-7 trainer fighters within one year, each of which will be sold for $100,000. Chen Feng also placed an order with the Soviet government for 300 MiG-3 fighters, 500 bombers, and 50 reconnaissance planes.
In addition, Chen Feng also customized 20,000 kilometers of railroad tracks, 1,500 cars, 300 tractors, 3 wire production lines and 1 telephone production line for the Soviet Union. The total value of the contract is $3.8 billion.
In order to solve the oil problem, Chen Feng proposed to jointly develop oil and gas resources in the Soviet Union with the Soviet government, and at the same time, Chen Feng revealed to Zhdanov that he knew that there was a place in the Soviet Union where oil was likely to be extracted. And the reserves should be not small.
Zhdanov immediately agreed to Chen Feng's request. The USSR is now also industrializing, and although there are a lot of oil resources in the Caucasus, the cost of extraction is high. And the quality of oil in the Caucasus is not good, and it is not cost-effective to ship it to the Far East. If Chen Feng can find an oil field in the Far East. It was a good thing for Chen Feng himself and for the Soviet government.
Of course, Chen Feng knows where there is oil. The Tyumen oil fields in the Soviet Union are famous. The Tyumen oil field is an oil field group in the Middle Ob River basin in the northeast of Tyumen in the West Siberian Basin of Russia, which is actually an oil area, and is the second largest super oil and gas bearing area in the world after the Middle East. It is the third largest oil field in Russia. The prospective oil reserves of the entire oil field reach 40 billion tons, and the recoverable reserves exceed 7 billion tons. On top of that, the field was first discovered in 1961, more than 20 years ago.
As long as Chen Feng sent people to the Tyumen region, and then laid a branch line from there along with the Soviet Trans-Siberian Railway, then his troops would no longer be short of fuel.
In addition to these, the United States and the Soviet Union had to secretly train a group of naval officers and men for Chen Feng for a period of two years, with 10,000 men per country. In order not to overly irritate the Japanese, these agreements signed between China, the United States, China and the Soviet Union were not made public, and they were also kept as secretive as possible in the process of trading with each other, which was beneficial to all three parties.
Of course, Chen Feng would not tell Little John, he was afraid that the revelation of these agreements would frighten the Japanese, and he was even more worried that the Japanese would concentrate the whole country to deal with his 40th Army, and he was also worried that the Japanese would not dare to move the Americans, and the Pacific War, an event that affected World War II, would be stillborn.
In this negotiation, Chen Feng signed a total of 14 billion US dollars in military and civilian orders with the United States and the Soviet Union, and this time Chen Feng also found a market for 45% of the products of the penicillin production plant, and the remaining consumption in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries and domestic consumption can consume up to 20% of the products, which means that Chen Feng's penicillin production line still has 35% of the capacity left.
In fact, this data is already very good, after all, the penicillin production line rewarded by the system produces up to 20,000 tons of penicillin per year. What is the concept of 20,000 tons, even in the 21st century, China's annual output of penicillin drugs is only 57,000 tons, think about how many people will use penicillin in later generations, and then think about how many people can afford to use penicillin in this era, and it is far beyond Chen Feng's expectations to sell 65%.
However, Chen Feng is not in a hurry, and when the war in Europe breaks out in another year or two, his penicillin will really become something that countries are competing for, and when the time comes, don't say 20,000 tons, even if there are 20,000 tons, it will not be enough. Just take advantage of the fact that the war in Europe has not broken out in the past two years, and stock up on some medicines, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money at that time.
Cooperation with the United States and the Soviet Union is of great importance to Chen Feng, the entire 40th Group Army, and even the entire Chinese nation, which will mean that before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War and the Pacific War, the United States and the Soviet Union will go all out to help Chen Feng's troops for the sake of huge economic interests. This also made Chen Feng feel for the first time that the cheating task that the system forcibly bound was actually not impossible to complete.
After signing the agreement, Chen Feng and the evening of the 9th once again hosted a banquet for the delegations of the United States and the Soviet Union at his home, this time not only the two elders of the Chen family were accompanied, but even the four young ladies of the Chen family, who had not shown up much, also came. The representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union had a very good impression of Chen Feng, an enthusiastic and young Chinese general, and when they learned that Chen Feng's wife was interested in investing in the United States, even Little John took the initiative to promise Chen Feng that he was willing to escort his wife.
