After Wang Haitao finished speaking, he handed over the rest of the matter to the personnel department and the finance department, and turned around and returned to the reception room. Wang Weihou also took on the responsibility of general manager at this time, and communicated with these dignitaries in Wang Haitao's absence. Fortunately, with Situ Meitang helping from it, Wang Weihou did not have too much stage fright.
After Wang Haitao came in, Wang Weihou breathed a sigh of relief. After Wang Haitao and these people wrestled for a while, he took out three transfer contracts from his body. These are the three contracts that Wang Haitao has prepared, one is to transfer 10 percent of the shares of the steel plant to Jack and Donald, the other is to transfer 10 percent of the shares to Situ Meitang's Hongmen Zhigongtang, and the other is to transfer 20 percent of the shares to Wang Weihou.
After thanking Wang Haitao, the three of them each accepted the contract. For a while, the reception room was full of joy. Wang Haitao asked people to bring champagne again, and everyone celebrated the opening of the new steel plant. It wasn't until noon that the guests left one after another. Wang Haitao and Wang Weihou stood at the gate of the factory and saw everyone leave.
Wang Haitao arranged Li Houwu and Wang Lili, as well as the eight people who graduated from high school in the United States, to serve as deputy managers in various departments, and those literate workers were also arranged to more important positions. Although the Americans were a little dissatisfied with this, Wang Haitao still made a tough arrangement.
After the personnel arrangements are in place, the training of new workers begins. The Chinese workers who can enter the factory to work cherish this hard-won job opportunity, so they are quite serious about learning. Their hard work is admired even by Americans. Three days later, the first furnace of steel was successfully produced, and the quality inspection department was tested and recognized as high-quality.
For the next month, Wang Haitao was busy in the factory until everything was basically on track. In the space of a month, Chinatown has changed the most, and after more than 1,000 families have a stable source of income, Chinatown has come to life again. Smiles began to appear on the faces of people walking down the street. When it's time to cook, the smell of the food can be wafted out from each family.
Because the workers in the factory work in shifts, the factory is required to provide food. Considering that the tastes of Chinese are different from those of Americans, Wang Haitao funded the construction of a Chinese restaurant and recruited several chefs and female waiters from the Chinese in Chinatown. And the bathrooms in the factory have also reopened. The improvement of these supporting facilities has made the workers more motivated.
Wang Haitao thought that it would take several months for the production capacity to be restored with so many new workers, but he did not expect that it would take only one month for the production capacity of the factory to completely return to the level of the previous factory, and the quality rate was 100 percent, and the quality rate was also more than 70 percent.
It took Wang Haitao a month to complete the integration of this steel plant, that is, he basically completed his mission to the United States, and Wang Haitao began to consider leaving the United States. But his mission was accomplished, and the task of the Fourth Army was not yet completed. In any case, he had to have an arms supply contract with the Germans before he could explain to the Fourth Army, Bai Chongxi, Li Pinxian and others.
In this way, I still can't go back to Guangzhou directly, and I have to go to Germany. However, he is not familiar with the place in Germany, so what should he do if he goes to Germany? This is really a matter that makes Wang Haitao very troubled. But in any case, the matter in the United States is basically over, and he only needs to negotiate with Morgan to ship metal materials to China and then leave.
On this day, Wang Haitao came to the Morgan Building again, and after finding Pete, Wang Haitao said: "Mr. Pete, I think I will leave the United States soon." Before I leave the U.S., I hope to reach an agreement with Morgan & Co. on the transportation of metal materials to Guangzhou, China. Wang Haitao's words obviously surprised Pete. Pete said, "Ah, dear Wang, did you say you were leaving America? Are you going to go back to your country, China?"
Wang Haitao replied: "Mr. Pitt, I am leaving the United States, but I am not going back to China now, but I am still going to Germany." Pete said, "So you're going to Germany." As for the transportation of metal materials you mentioned, please rest assured that we have an ocean shipping company under our own name, and we will help you deliver it at the best price. But this matter is not my business, how about I take you to the headquarters tomorrow to talk to the people in the relevant departments?"
Wang Haitao nodded in agreement, and when he was about to leave, Pete asked: "Mr. Wang, can I ask you what you have to do with your trip to Germany? Our Morgan Company also has some business and branches in Germany, and we may be able to help you?" Wang Haitao replied: "I went to Germany this time to ask Germany to produce a batch of weapons for me." You must know that my country is facing a war of aggression, and I need to better arm my army to win this war. ”
Pete exclaimed, "Oh my God, Mr. Wang, it turns out that there is such an unfortunate thing happening in your motherland, as a friend, I will definitely help you." By the way, we have some business dealings with Krupp in Germany, and I am also friends with Lucas and Mr. Diner, the managers of the production and supply department of Krupp, and I can introduce you to him. ”
Wang Haitao is worried about what to do in Germany, and this is just right. Wang Haitao said happily: "That's great." Thank you very much Pete my friend. Thank you for helping me so much during my time in the United States. I'll always remember this help. Ah, by the way, do you have a branch of the Morgan Bank in Germany? On this trip to Germany, my family again allowed me to use four tons of gold, and I still want to buy it from your Morgan Bank and exchange it for Deutsche Mark. ”
Pete was surprised and cried out, "Oh God, it's four tons of gold again." I'd love to keep it at Morgan Bank, but as a friend, I'd advise you to sell it to the German National Bank. You must know that because of the shortage of gold, the German mark is very unstable now, and no one in Europe will come up with gold reserves to help Germany, and neither will the United States. Therefore, the sale of four tons of gold will give you a lot of friends in Germany, and perhaps Hitler, the German Chancellor who wanted to revive the Germanic nation, will personally receive you. ”
After Wang Haitao thanked Pete again for his frankness, he agreed to go to the headquarters tomorrow to negotiate the transportation, and then said goodbye and left. On the second day, Wang Haitao came to Pete as promised, and Pete took Wang Haitao to the headquarters, and the two sides signed a transportation contract that made Wang Haitao very satisfied. According to the contract, Morgan transports metal materials for Wang Haitao every six months, and after the goods arrive in Guangzhou, China, Wang Haitao pays off all the materials and freight. If Wang Haitao can't pay it, he will pay it with the collateral of JPMorgan Bank. ”
After signing the contract, on the way back, Pete told Wang Haitao that he had helped Wang Haitao contact Lucas and Diner managers of Krupp, and gave Wang Haitao his contact information in Germany. Now Wang Haitao felt more confident in his heart, and after thanking Pete again for his help, Wang Haitao said goodbye and left.
In the next few days, Wang Haitao continued to prepare to leave the United States, and after dealing with the steel plant, he had a long talk with Wang Weihou again. Then go and say goodbye to the old man Situ Meitang. After all this was done, Wang Haitao finally boarded a cruise ship from New York to Hamburg, Germany, on April 10, 1935.
After waving goodbye to many friends, Wang Haitao ended his trip to the United States and started a new trip to Germany.
