Chapter 38: Negotiation (2)

When Field Marshal Ernst first proposed the reform of the services, it attracted the attention of these arms manufacturers, after all, the proposal of a field marshal with real power was still worthy of attention. But there is no strong evidence of the need for reform, and this proposal is nothing but eye-catching arguments.www.biquge.info

However, with the news of the advantage gained in the Second Battle of Nice, Ernst's private embezzlement of military funds to equip troops was no longer over, and the witch troops who were misappropriated military funds had no intention of pursuing them. No matter how you look at this situation, Ernst's proposal has the possibility of being realized, and there is no need to offend a marshal who is about to cross the pinnacle of life.

Now the Emperor and the Parliament were unified, and this revolutionary weapon had to be equipped on a large scale, because it would help to achieve victory in the war, and that reason alone was enough. At the same time as increasing the allocation of funds for research and development, the introduction of production lines to solve the current needs has also been put on the agenda, and such an opportunity to reshuffle the military industry will certainly not let go.

The Fowler family was undisputed to be elected as the plenipotentiary of the negotiations, but all those in the know were strictly ordered to shut up, and Wen Hui has been dealing with the military, which is more conducive to blocking the news, and the people of the Fowler family have not collected any useful information, which has led to the scene just now, so the Fowler family's exit has become an artificial inevitable result.

"I hope your secondary negotiator is reliable, otherwise, I'd rather the production line rot in the warehouse than sell." Although he wanted to sell it, this did not prevent Wen Hui from scaring the other party.

"Don't worry, he has a price you won't refuse." Hess led Wen Hui to the manor, and saw a group of people standing at the door to greet him.

"Welcome to German City and hope you enjoyed the trip!" The old man who greeted him on the other side had spicy eyes with gold teeth, whether he was sincere or not, Wen Hui did not refuse this tone. Although he is currently a small businessman and is not qualified to meet the big people in the upper echelons, it is always a bad service attitude to disgust him with someone like Fowler.

"Dmitry Andreevich, what is it called?"

"Walter Franklin, my friends call me old Walter." The smile of the big gold tooth once again stimulated Wen Hui's eyes.

"Uncle Walter, let's go in and talk, the door is not the place to get down to business." Hess beckoned everyone into the room while introducing Wen Hui to the origin of the big golden tooth: "Uncle Walter is the director of the Royal Arsenal, unlike Fowler's family industry that the royal family and the parliament can only supervise but cannot manage, the Royal Arsenal is jointly managed by the Franklin family, the royal family, the parliament and the military department, they hold the remaining two percent of the Germania arms market, and have been looking for an opportunity to break Fowler's monopoly, and your appearance has given them a good opportunity." ”

Hess's words were very explicit, and Wen Hui nodded: "I hope we have a happy cooperation!" ”

After a pleasant discussion about the recent weather conditions in Germanic City and the delicious food around them, the conversation turned to the introduction of the production line, "Knowing that Dmitry is a cheerful person, we don't go around in circles." Here we have prepared two sets of payment solutions. "With Hess, Walter obviously knows how to get Wenhui interested, "We need a bullet production line that can start production immediately, you know, the urging from the front line forced us to not even sleep well, of course the training of the workers and everything else is included." ”

Wen Hui nodded: "Of course it's no problem, what about firearms?" ”

"Regarding firearms, I would like to consult with you about whether it is okay to buy only rifled equipment? As you know, we didn't have a lot of money during the war, otherwise I would have purchased a production line to study your production technology. "Apparently Walter is not prepared to spend money in vain, they can take care of everything except the rifled Mauser rifle, and the military is satisfied with the last time it was tested with a high-cost self-produced barrel, and as long as it can be supplied on a large scale, the military order will come down.

"That's it~" Wen Hui decided to sell the other party a favor, anyway, it was only a matter of time before their self-produced rifling was made, and there was no need to get stuck here, "Yes, but what about your offer?" "Wen Hui's reserve price is 10 million, and the extra is considered to be his earnings, it depends on what price the other party can give.

"Here we have two payment schemes, 15 million to buy all the technical production patents, and pay for the goods in two installments. Due to the limited funds on hand, we have only scraped together 9 million in cash at the moment. So option one, we postpone the payment, and finally give you 16 million, of course, this time will be a bit long; Option two, we pay 10 million in two installments, and the rest of the payment is exchanged for 0.5% of the shares of the Royal Arsenal, what do you think? Walter made a straightforward offer that had been negotiated a long time ago.

"If I raise the stake to three percent, I choose option two." Anyway, if you want to stay here, it's not bad to buy an industry, as for the deferred payment, Wen Hui really doesn't dare to try, if the country pays the bill, he can't find anyone to ask for the account.

"Oh, it can't be. You know, I'm not the only one who has the final say, let's put it bluntly, Your Majesty and the council have given me a bottom line of one percent, and if it is higher, we can only choose option one. Walter shook his head, looking confused.

"Then make a deal, I hope you have prepared enough space to place the production equipment." Wen Hui stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you for your generosity, and the people of Germania will not forget your friendship." A smile returned to Varta and shook hands with Wen Hui.

After signing the agreement, the heart is put into the stomach, and a banquet is a must. And Wen Hui also took this opportunity to celebrate, as long as the deal is reached, then the artillery system will be opened, and then there will be business again.

As for the production line, Wen Hui doesn't need to worry about it, during World War II, the American Liberty Ship had already been floating on the sea with goods, and after the agreement was signed, it only needed to dock to unload the goods and pull them to the site to assemble the production line. Blackfire is responsible for solving the problems of the workers, and incidentally helps them train skilled workers. Wen Hui didn't have to roll up his sleeves to study in person, and then he would be a teacher for them.

"How did Dmitry and Hess meet?" Walter leaned over with his glass. Wen Hui told how he met on the edge of the battlefield and how he started trading after that.

"It's really a friendship in the midst of war!" Walter sighed.

"You know Hess?"

"Of course, the concubines of the Green family do not have the right to inherit the title, and they can't even share much property. Hess spent some time in my arsenal before joining the army, a nice lad, but it was a pity to be born. After the outbreak of the war, he joined the army to fight for the future, everyone thought that this was looking for death, but he didn't expect that he really had a future! "Business aside, Walter is a mouthy old man who talks a lot about the past.

I've never heard Hess mention his family affairs, but I didn't expect that there was no such past, isn't this the standard growth environment of the protagonist in the novel, and met Wen Hui, the "old man".

"What will he gain when he comes back this time?" It should be better to be promoted in times of war.

"If nothing else, he will get his own knighthood, this manor is an early reward, specially approved by Marshal Ernst." Walter was still happy for the young man.

"There are also promotions, participation in the formation and training of new troops." Hess's voice came from behind, "What are you talking about the things you used to do?" I basically have nothing to do with the Green family anymore. ”

"What a bright future!" Wen Hui congratulated his partner.

"This is still thanks to you, Marshal Ernst has meant this before, training a new type of troops, using new weapons and tactics, presumably it should be helpful in the war." Hess sincerely thanks Wenhui, although this guy only recognizes money, but his reputation is very good, and the after-sales service is very good. The previous weapon use booklet saved them a lot of trouble, and the general explanation of trench warfare later made him pause.

Help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Wen Hui thought for a while: "I also have an infantry training drill book there, if you need it, you can take it over for reference." "Now that Mauser has already gotten his hands on it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with copying the German infantry drill code, and then it is recommended to change the color of the military uniform, and the new army dressed in army gray will be worthy of your Germania name!

"I can't ask for it!" For Wenhui's help, Hess gladly accepted.

After hearing Wen Hui's kindness, Yuri whispered to Boris: "The boss is really a bad taste, is this trying to replicate the perished army here?" ”

"What does it matter? As long as it doesn't affect the business, it's just a little personal hobby. Boris didn't mind Wenhui's bad taste.

The two sides cooperated happily, and the atmosphere of the banquet was also very lively, between the staggered plans, Wen Hui drank too much for the first time, after all, he won tens of millions of orders, and the more profitable artillery could also be sold, if it weren't for the other party's funds, he really wanted to squeeze the last gold coin in their hands.
