Chapter 31 The Military Industrial System
readx;? Three days later, Wang Haitao was about to leave for Guangzhou, but Tang Renli came to the door again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Tang Renli shouted excitedly when he saw Wang Haitao: "Commander, I have found a place, not far from the South City Gate, there is an empty factory. I inquired, and it was originally an arsenal, but after the arsenal was relocated to Nanning, it was empty. Now that this factory is under the management of the Longzhou County Government, do you want to go to the county magistrate Bai to see if you can buy or rent it?"
After listening to this, Wang Haitao said: "Director Tang, don't worry, let's go and have a look." After speaking, Wang Haitao called the mountain leopard and drove to the factory that Tang Renli said. The three of them got out of the car at the gate of the factory, and the mountain leopard stepped forward to call the door, only to see an old man open the door from inside after half a day. After Tang Renli stepped forward to explain his intentions, the old man saw that they were three officers, and he didn't dare to stop them, so Wang Haitao and the three of them entered the factory gate.
After Wang Haitao and Tang Renli took a turn in the factory, they were still quite satisfied with this place, first, the place was big enough, there were five workshops alone, and there were warehouses and dormitories behind. The second is that the water and electricity are complete, and there is almost no need to change them, and the third is that the house is relatively intact and can be used after a little tidying. If the price is right, it's worth buying, which will save a lot of money.
The next day, after preparing the gifts, Wang Haitao came to the county government building to meet the county magistrate Bai Zi'an. Seeing that Bai Zi'an was polite to both parties, after Wang Haitao gave the gift, he directly explained his intention. Bai Zi'an understood Wang Haitao's intention, and said hesitantly: "Commander Wang, it's not that I don't give you face, although that factory is under the name of my county government, it is actually still owned by the Fourth Army, and I have no right to deal with it privately." ”
Wang Haitao said disappointedly: "Is there no hope then?" Bai Zi'an said: "In this way, I will come forward to help you inquire, if there is hope, I will help you dredge up, but I dare not say that it will be successful." Wang Haitao said: "The county magistrate Bai can come forward to help me dredge, and Wang is grateful." As for the use of dredging, County Magistrate Bai, you just have to say, after the matter is completed, Wang should be thanked. After saying that, the two chatted a few more words, and Wang Haitao took his leave.
A few days later, Wang Haitao felt that there was little hope, and when he was about to choose another factory site, Bai Zi'an called and asked Wang Haitao to go to the county government. Wang Haitao hurriedly drove to the county government. When Bai Zi'an saw Wang Haitao, he smiled and said: "Commander Wang, your luck is really good, I found General Ye Qi, the chief of staff of the Fourth Army, through the attendant officer under my cousin, and General Ye agreed to transfer this abandoned factory after hearing about it. After I did some more work, in the end, General Ye's asking price was 2,000 yuan. ”
Wang Haitao calculated in his heart, although 2,000 yuan of ocean is not a small amount, but fortunately, it saves time and trouble, which is quite cost-effective. So Wang Haitao said: "Okay, it's just 2,000 yuan, and I'll take another 300 oceans to pay for the carriage and horses of the county magistrate Bai." What do you think of County Magistrate Bai?" Bai Zi'an hurriedly said: "Commander Wang, how embarrassing is this. "In fact, Wang Zi'an has already done something about the offer of 2,000 oceans, but Wang Haitao doesn't know. Wang Haitao said: "That's it, I'll send you the money tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Wang Haitao said goodbye and left.
Now that the factory has been settled, it is time for me to leave for Guangzhou. After Wang Haitao arranged the things around him, he took the mountain leopard and two soldiers of the guard company to Guangzhou again. Similarly, this time Wang Haitao drove to Qinzhou Chengfang Port, and then got on a passenger ferry to Guangzhou. Three days later, Wang Haitao and his entourage appeared on the dock in Guangzhou.
The day after he moved in, Wang Haitao went to the Krupp firm and met the manager, Mr. Hans Diner. After greeting each other in German, Manager Hans told Wang Haitao that the goods he had ordered would arrive at the port of Guangzhou in a week according to the contract. He was accompanied by two technicians sent by the company, who will be responsible for the installation and commissioning of the two sets of equipment and teaching the workers in the factory how to use them.
Wang Haitao has a great impression of Krupp's very responsible approach, and after praising it, he took out a bill of goods from his body. The manifest lists all the machines required by the military factory, such as lathes, planers, milling machines, drilling machines, and punching machines. Wang Haitao handed the manifest to Hans and said: "Mr. Hans, I still need these things and supporting parts, I need the most advanced, brand new machine, can you provide it to me?"
Hans took the manifest, read it carefully, and said in surprise: "Oh, my God, Mr. Wang, are you going to open a factory? Do you need so many things?" Wang Haitao replied with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Hans, I am going to open a factory." Hans carefully read the manifest again and said, "Mr. Wang, I have good news for you, three months ago, our head office sent a batch of equipment over, and most of what you need is available." ”
Hans said this and looked at Wang Haitao, seeing that Wang Haitao was very interested, and then said: "This batch of equipment was ordered by a Chinese, and it was also prepared to set up a factory, and the deposit has been paid, but after the equipment arrived, his factory had a problem, so he had to regretfully give up these equipment, I am preparing to let the ship that came this time transport it back, if Mr. Wang is interested, I will transfer it to you at the price of removing the deposit." ”
Wang Haitao was of course happy about this, and immediately went to the warehouse with Hans to see the equipment. When Wang Haitao saw the well-packaged equipment in the warehouse, he decided to buy them together without hesitation. Wang Haitao did not doubt the quality of these equipment at all, because the German Krupp trademark on the equipment is a guarantee. The Germans will never have the slightest problem with the quality of such exported equipment.
After returning to the firm, the two sides discussed the price of the equipment, and finally, the price was set at 300,000 US dollars, based on the equipment listed on the manifest, and the equipment on the manifest that Krupp Comptory did not have now will be shipped to Guangzhou within three months. Wang Haitao also bought the equipment listed in the warehouse at a cost price, and in Wang Haitao's view, these equipment can be used sooner or later.
In the end, Wang Haitao asked to find two technicians who could teach the workers to use the equipment, and Hans said: "Mr. Wang, the two technicians who came to China with the goods this time can completely win, and I think as long as the salary you give is good enough, they will not mind working with you for a few years." But you can't talk to them until they come. ”
Wang Haitao and Hans made another contract, and this time Wang Haitao simply paid the full amount of the equipment, which also made Hans's good impression of Wang Haitao even stronger. For this reason, Hans also specially took out a bottle of whiskey and drank a glass with Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao finished half of his trip, and he was a little relieved, and the next thing to solve is the problem of raw materials.
