Chapter 620: Extravagant Deception
In the past, Fengjun was just a distant and illusory impression of power, but now the situation is completely different, since seeing these advanced equipment, I have the most real feeling of the strength of Fengjun.
It is easy to sell so much equipment, so how advanced and powerful Fengjun's own equipment will be is unimaginable, if you can rely on this big tree and get the support of Fengjun, you will definitely be able to become strong quickly.
Therefore, when he heard Sun Xianrui say that Zhang Tinglan was very optimistic about himself, Chen Jiongming felt a shortness of breath, and a God-given opportunity was placed in front of him, where was he willing to give up.
"Miss Sun, Chen has always admired Lan Shuai and is willing to work for Lan Shuai, if you have any orders, just say it."
"Where can I be a girl who can take care of your men's affairs, this time I went to Guangzhou, I was mostly distracted, shopping for beautiful scenery, as for other things, all of them are occasional interests, if you want to cooperate with Fengjun, contact Fengtian directly, I believe that currency exchange is a very haode entry point, Lan Shuai is looking forward to this!"
Although Sun Xianrui said that he didn't care, he was actually already dialing Chen Jiongming, how could he not understand! Chen Jiongming thought for a while and asked: "Miss Sun, I heard some time ago that Fengtian and Shanxi signed a currency swap agreement, and I also heard that the West hates this agreement very much, what is important in this, I still can't figure it out!" ”
Sun Xianrui smiled slightly: "Governor Chen, this is a very simple economic principle, what don't you understand, the so-called currency swap is actually a commodity swap between the two sides." According to the original trade, the currencies of the two provinces are different, so we need to exchange them for oceanic or foreign currencies and then trade them. In the process. The West can extract profits from it, and now we exchange them directly, throw them off, and the profits are our exclusive use, and people will eat less, so they will naturally oppose it! ”
Chen Jiongming is not a stupid person, and as soon as he heard this, he understood the essence of the so-called currency swap, which is actually to squeeze out the currencies and finance of the great powers from the Chinese market. Everybody knows. It is precisely by relying on banking and finance that the great powers continue to deprive China of its wealth, and when this claw is cut off, they will naturally jump out against it.
"Miss Sun, Lan Shuai is really far-sighted. Once the currency is swapped, it is tantamount to robbing the meat of the mouths of the great powers. This kind of thing. Only Lan Shuai dares to do it! ”
Sun Xianrui smiled proudly: "Lan Shuai has always been able to straighten his waist when he treats the powers, Governor Chen, don't be bent down by the powers." ”
Miss Sun rest assured, to exclude the great powers, to the people of Guangdong. It's also a good thing, Chen will definitely resist the pressure and will definitely not live up to Lan Shuai's love! ”
Sun Xianrui sent Chen Jiongming away, and Deng Xihou was already waiting in another reception room early. It was with his help that the price was raised from the beginning, and Feng Jun took at least three million more profits for this, so Sun Xianrui was still very polite to Deng Xihou.
"Mr. Deng, among the arms auctioned by Jihua, there are still ten 152 mm heavy guns, plus fifty mortars that have not been auctioned, these are all reserved for you, you can take them back first and arm your troops, as for the payment, you can use things like bristle tung oil to compensate."
Nothing is as good as real benefits to move people's hearts, Deng Xihou listened to Sun Xianrui's words, and suddenly his face was full of smiles, Feng Jun was indeed generous, and what is even more rare is that there is no need to waste cash, as long as you use local products, this is a rare cheap in the world.
"Miss Sun, I hope you can tell Lan Shuai that Deng is grateful for his great kindness, and as long as there are any orders from the army in the future, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire."
Sichuan is a place where warlords are fighting, there are so many grass kings from all walks of life, it is impossible for Zhang Tinglan not to care, he has long wanted to support agents and do things for himself, and now the goal has been achieved.
After meeting Deng Xihou and Chen Jiongming, other shili also came one after another, and they all carefully calculated the results of this auction. Let's see how much these weapons can improve the combat effectiveness of the old enemy, and whether you still have a chance of winning.
After calculating this, those who were in a weak position had to catch up, and they wanted to expand their advantages for the time being, so after calculating the bearing capacity of their purse, they were ruthless and came to Sun Xianrui again, wanting to continue to purchase weapons.
But at this time, Sun Xianrui was no longer in sight, and the eldest lady traveled around the mountains and rivers again, purchasing various specialties, especially fruits, she specially hired a fast boat, purchased a large number of fresh fruits from the south, and added ice packs to keep them fresh, and then sent them back to Fengtian as quickly as possible.
Zhang Tinglan, Zhou Xinyao, and the newly-born Princess Shuaifu all have a big share, which can be regarded as Miss Sun's heart. Sun Xianrui made a lot of purchases in Guangzhou, spent money, spended lavishly, and didn't care, and everyone else was also secretly distressed, and all this money was earned from them.
However, at this time, they are still hoping that Sun Xianrui can make more of their money, who told them to want to get more arms! But Sun Xianrui has completely pushed out the arms matter.
Feng Jun is peace-loving, how can he casually sell these weapons of mass destruction and let them be used in the civil war. This auction is because Feng Jun wants to reward the heroes who killed Sun Wen, and there will be no such thing in the future.
Of course, this is just a speech to the outside world, Sun Xianrui has already let his subordinates secretly let out the rumors, and the Feng army will choose an arms agent in the southwest and Liangguang. After obtaining this qualification, they will be able to act as an agent for the sale of arms from the Fengjun, and will not only be able to give priority to the purchase of arms, but will also be able to draw 5 percent of the profits.
After hearing the news, the eyes of these warlord leaders in the southwest were all red, and they all understood very well that the power of this so-called agent was definitely not simple.
Whoever gets the most arms will be able to pull up more troops and have more equipment, in other words, this is the dominant power in the region, and who wants to miss it.
So after getting the news, all the local shili sent people to contact Fengjun to fight for qualifications, and some people kept visiting Sun Xianrui, even blocking her on the road. Sun Xianrui was a little frightened when she saw that these people were so crazy, wherever she went. There will be a group of people staring, making them very uncomfortable, and they have to end the journey early.
On the way back by boat, Sun Xianrui encountered a huge fleet, in which there was a total of one cargo ship, eight tugboats, and three warships ranging from more than 3,000 tons to 10,000 tons. It also looks spectacular.
The only problem was with the warships, all of which were rusty, their weapons had been dismantled, and even the largest of them had traces of explosives. A majestic ship turned out to be just a scrapped tatters. It's embarrassing to watch.
In charge of this fleet is Wu Yulin of Huludao Shipyard. Since the Baden was brought back to Mukden, the global procurement of scrapped warships has also begun, and the Fengjun has sent many people, mainly to the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and France, these old naval powers, have many warships to be scrapped.
It costs a lot to build a warship. The dismantling of warships also requires a huge amount of energy, and many times it is a loss-making business, so when the Fengjun is willing to buy it at a premium, many people are already tempted.
It's just that countries are still afraid. I don't know what the Feng army wants to do with the old warships, so the main battleships are still unwilling to sell, so they can only sell some old warships and dismantle all the weapons.
But Fengjun didn't care, as long as the price was right, he would not hesitate to buy it, and during this time, a batch of abandoned warships have been shipped back to Mukden.
This time, Wu Yulin towed back three warships from Europe, and the fleet happened to meet Sun Xianrui, and they also returned to Mukden together.
"Director Wu, have you heard, many people say that we are picking up rags, and many powers have published articles in newspapers, saying that we even regard the things that the powers don't want as treasures, which shows how low the industrial level of Fengtian is. Therefore, the arms we sell are also complete garbage, and people with real insight will never sell them. ”
Wu Yulin said with a smile: "Miss Sun, there are only two kinds of people who say this, one is confused, and the other is pretending to be confused. The steel used in warships is all high-quality steel, and after returning to the furnace, it is used to process guns and cannons, all of which are the best choice. It's just that the great powers are not short of artillery steel, they are not willing to dismantle it, we dismantle it, and the profit is still quite a lot! ”
Sun Xianrui nodded: "So that's the case, I also think we won't be embarrassed to this extent, otherwise Brother Lan has been operating for so many years, wouldn't it be a joke!" ”
Speaking of this, Sun Xianrui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Director Wu, did the marshal ask you to do the acquisition of warships?" ”
"That's right."
"Is there a conspiracy in it, you definitely don't just want scrap steel, do you?"
Wu Yulin shook his head like a rattle, but Sun Xianrui still sneered and said: "Brother Lan is such a shrewd person, and everything he does, he has big plans and is interlocking. If, according to you, it is because of the lack of steel, then how appropriate it is to invest in a steel plant, why bother to buy a broken ship, there is definitely a conspiracy in this! ”
was pierced by Sun Xianrui, Wu Yulin could only smile bitterly: "Miss Sun, you can ask Dashuai directly about these things, I don't know a word!" ”
The fleet was mighty, along the offshore, after more than 20 days of sailing, finally returned to Huludao, Zhang Tinglan was already waiting at the port, seeing that Sun Xianrui also came back with the ship, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't expect you to have a talent for business, you went here, we made millions more, it's really amazing." ”
"What is this, don't think that only men know how to cheat, we are also women who don't let me shave my eyebrows."
"It doesn't seem like a good thing for me to cheat, you're competing for the lead in this kind of thing, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
"What's wrong, you just have to be strategizing."
"Yes." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Nu Zhuge , the eldest girl is still waiting for you to tell you what you have seen and heard along the way, so you can hurry up and meet Fengtian." ”
"Hmph, if you want to drive me away, find a better excuse, the big girl can't speak yet, how can you understand what I'm saying. You, the father, have also given the eldest girl an official name, and he always screams like a farmer's child. ”
"What's wrong with peasant children, at least it's easy to feed."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'm not responsible at all, I really miss a big girl, it's time to go back to Fengtian."
After sending Sun Xianrui away, Zhang Tinglan called Wu Yulin to his side and hurriedly asked: "What is the situation in Europe, has the Mackensen-class battlecruiser been dismantled?" ”
"Not yet, the British have too many warships to be decommissioned, and they can't take care of it for the time being, I inspected the situation of these four warships, the first one is basically almost built, but there is no outfitting, and the last three are lacking a lot, if you want to make up your mind, get the first Mackensen back, it's the best."
Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly: "Director Wu, according to your observations, is there any hope to get it back?" ”
"I think there are still some, Britain and France are not in a good situation now, if we spend some money to get the warship back, there is absolutely no problem. But there is a premise, that is, to make the great powers really believe in us, and to buy warships just for scrap steel! ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he said with a smile: "Then let them believe it, pass on my order, starting tomorrow, the battleship Baden will be dismantled, and it is best to let everyone in the world know!" (To be continued......)
