Chapter 193: I'm Your Boss
Just took over a new company, Tang Qiuli didn't want to make a fuss, besides, this company is about to stop existing, he comforted all the employees and calmed people's hearts, and then, he brought the financial report, took a closer look, he was happy again, he thought that the debt owed by the outside should not be much? It was only more than 300,000 Deutsche marks.
He asked the financial manager with a sad face to invite the bank and raw material suppliers to the company, to repay all debts, this financial manager at the end, immediately energetic, full of spirit, the original boss Leddy did not dare to be in the company, those who forced debts can make him sad, if he didn't worry about which month's salary has not been given, he would have smeared the soles of his feet with oil, and Lao Tzu would not suffer here?
This guy immediately ran out, thinking to himself, don't look at this new boss from Oriental China, he is not very old, look at this, he is very rich, let's mix with him in the future
After these banks and suppliers came, Tang Qiu paid off all the debts without a penny, these people saw that the company had changed bosses, and they were so rich, immediately, their attitudes took a 180-degree turn, and they all wanted to continue to cooperate, and the financial manager was full of emotion when he saw it on the side, money, it is the uncle, this is an unbreakable truth.
Tang Qiuli was not interested at all, and he didn't come to do business, after sending away these businessmen, he took the translator and the property manager, and drove to Leddy's residence in the countryside.
The translator knocked on the door, Leddy's disgraced face was filled with extreme impatience and unpleasantness, and when he saw it, it was the young Oriental who was rejected by him, and he was even more annoyed, yelling at Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiuli didn't understand, but it was definitely not a good word, and the translator's girl's Persian cat-like eyes were full of embarrassment and embarrassment.
Tang Qiuli's face sank, people who are a little talented, they all have a big temper, if they don't surrender Leddy today, I'm afraid that their plans behind will be difficult to implement, he sued the translator, and said that I am now his boss, and I came to visit him today, hoping that he can understand, have a good attitude, and leave a good impression on the new boss.
After listening to it, Leddy was a little stupid, when did this young man from the East become his own boss, Tang Qiuli didn't care how Leddy reacted, and went directly into the house, hey, this guy's life is shabby enough, the house is in tatters, and the food is sad, a few dry black breads, that bottle of milk doesn't know how many days it is, and he is not afraid of stomach trouble.
After reading all the texts, Leddy blinked his blue eyes, got up embarrassedly, bowed deeply to Tang Qiuli, his face was full of apologies, and he was still more polite, followed by a big phone call, which translated, Mr. Qiu, I'm very sorry, during this time, because of the company's affairs, I was in a very bad mood, I was rude just now, please forgive Mr. Qiu, if I make Mr. Qiu unhappy because of my reckless attitude just now, I am willing to accept any decision of the company, and it is okay to be fired, I myself have no opinion,
Tang Qiuli heard this, this and that, I spent 500,000 Deutsche marks, just to buy you as a person, your company, in my eyes, not a dime.
He said to Leddy very calmly, I understand your feelings, the company will not punish you in any way, if you want to do the opposite, I also ask you to be the company's technical director, and the company will also give you a certain percentage of personal shares.
Leddy just didn't believe it at all, then there is such a good thing, this Oriental is not crazy, he has to be a big liar, you can't fall pie from the sky, if pie falls from the sky, it's either a trap or a trap, take me Leddy as a fool?
Seeing that Laidi didn't believe it, Tang Qiuli took out the signed document, which clearly stated the treatment for Laidi, and now, Laidi believed it, but he was still very puzzled and asked Tang Qiuli, does he have such a great value?
Of course, Tang Qiuli praised him vigorously, especially his genius in gun design, Tang Qiuli still knew a lot about the hearts of Westerners, and sometimes, recognizing his value was the result of his own efforts, neither relying on his father's inheritance, nor having relatives in that yamen, let alone speculating in the camp, he was happier than giving him a large sum of money.
Sure enough, when Leddy heard the boss praise him like this, he immediately burst into high spirits, with a heroic spirit that would give up on me, and his attitude towards Tang Qiuli was even more respectful.
Tang Qiuli talked to him about the future development direction of the company, when it came to asking Leddy to leave Finland and go to the United States to develop, the two had a disagreement, Leddy resolutely did not leave his motherland, and claimed that his roots are here, and his talent can only be displayed for the motherland.
This made Tang Qiuli very admirable, a person who can abandon his motherland for the sake of glory and wealth, no matter how talented he is, he is also a contemptible national scum, and he will never be able to face the eyes of his compatriots calmly.
Later, Tang Qiu told him that in the United States, there were better conditions, and he was not required to renounce his Finnish citizenship, and the submachine gun he designed was still called the original name, and the name of the company was not changed, and he did not interfere in the daily business of the company, and he was still fully responsible.
After these conditions were issued, Leddy really had nothing to say, he was going to go to prison, but now, there is such a boss who respects and appreciates him, and he doesn't know how to raise it, so he can't say anything, not to mention, Mr. Qiu is still his own creditor, if the talks collapse, this Oriental can send himself to prison in anger.
The two sides happily reached an agreement and drove back to the city, Tang Qiuli first bought a lot of clothes for Leddy, or how to say "people are clothes and horses are saddles", Leddy's face suddenly changed, that talent, irrepressibly exuded, Tang Qiuli was secretly happy, he didn't see the wrong person, this guy is definitely a treasure to be developed.
When he met Xiao Ling and them at the hotel, Leddy was surprised, Mr. Qiu's wife turned out to be such a beautiful, elegant, and temperamental oriental beauty, and her trust in Tang Qiuli was a few layers deeper.
Everyone happily went to the restaurant to celebrate, at the wine table, Tang Qiuli learned from Leddy's account that the company is facing bankruptcy, and the main reason for the widespread use of Suomi M1931 submachine guns is the complex structure and process and the high cost of harsh materials (made of high-quality chromium-nickel steel from Sweden).
Because of these factors, the cost of the Suomi M1931 submachine gun remains high, but this is also to ensure the good performance and long service life of this submachine gun, Leddy said worriedly, Mr. Qiu, I must tell you that the company has almost never received orders, and the investment in purchasing raw materials is too large, and the product cannot be sold.
Tang Qiuli said lightly, money is not a problem, you can put all your energy into designing new firearms, and you don't need to worry about sales, these are not the problems you consider, the order in China, the first order, can have 15,000 pieces.
Leddy's eyes were about to pop out, and he had worked hard and shouted and shouted, and he had sold less than a hundred of them in total, and the boss ordered fifteen thousand at once, and now, he also admired the boss.
Tang Qiuli immediately sent a telegram to the old man Zhu Zixuan, asking him to rush to the United States immediately, where to find a factory and go through all the relevant procedures for setting up a factory in the United States.
To his surprise, the old man agreed very happily, and immediately left for the United States, and asked Tang Qiuli to provide a list of equipment and raw materials that needed to be purchased.
Tang Qiuli told the old man in the telegram that the equipment should be the best, especially the raw materials, should be purchased in large quantities, not afraid of more, and it is best to buy all the things in the American market, just a decision, which brought amazing profits to Tang Qiuli, because at the beginning of World War II, the consumption of various military materials increased sharply, and the price doubled up, but Tang Qiuli ate a large amount when the price was the most stable, thus ensuring the competitiveness of the product.
Tang Qiuli closed down the company in Finland, shipped all the main equipment to the United States, and sold all the finished guns in stock to the Finnish Ministry of Defense at almost a gift price, which won a good reputation for the Leidi company.
Tang Qiuli had his plan, in another three or four years, the Winter War (also known as the Soviet-Finnish War) would break out on November 30, 1939, that is, three months after the outbreak of World War II in Europe, when the Soviet army invaded Finland, Stalin hoped to end the fighting in 1939, but due to Finnish resistance, an armistice was not signed until March 1940, and Finland ceded 10% of its territory to the Soviet Union.
In this war, nearly 25 divisions of the Soviet army poured into Finland like a tide, and the Finnish army at that time, a total of only three divisions, in the three divisions of the army, using Suomi M1931 submachine guns, with ski units and flexible tactics, inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet army, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties, a senior Soviet general said sadly: "We used the blood of hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers to drown the army of three divisions of Finland."
How could Tang Qiuli give up such a good opportunity for free advertising, the more fierce the battle between Su and Finland became, the more lively it became, and the advertising effect was also large, so he didn't have to worry about no orders, and he could produce a simplified version of the Suomi M1931 submachine gun, as long as the cost was reduced, without changing the main performance of this gun, it would be useless to worry about sales, just wait for the silver
