Chapter 113: Raymond: Cash on Delivery
Morning.
Dongshan Province, family area.
Lao Liang, the leader of the Development and Reform University, sat in the study, looking at the newspaper restlessly.
In the evening, a special channel called, saying that someone claimed to be his relative, surnamed Xu, and urgently needed to use the resources of Nanbangzi to transport a batch of advanced equipment.
According to the process, as long as the other party provides the secret order, there is basically no need to confirm the identity repeatedly, which saves the missed opportunity.
But the address given by Xu Fei is too outrageous.
Incheon Magityeong Port ...... Military port?!
Director Liang had the heart to call and ask, but when the tin toy factory got off work, his mobile phone was always busy.
After thinking for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and notified special channels to take action.
Now, four hours later, there has been no news from there.
Didi ......
Suddenly, the red mobile phone on the desk rang.
"Hello?"
"Leader, there is news, the equipment has been obtained."
"It's going well, isn't it?"
"It went very smoothly, and the North American soldiers were very enthusiastic, not only helping to load the ship, but also sending two armored infantry vehicles, dozens of sets of M units, saying that the captain would use it for self-defense on the road."
“……”
"It does sound outrageous, and when I heard this, I thought it was a friendly army."
"What equipment do you have?"
"Metal composition direct reading analyzer, Zeiss industrial CT measuring machine, Wajima Mitsubishi drilling and milling machining center, Wajima Mitsubishi platform group centering machine, two industrial robots...... In general, it is of great help to the automotive manufacturing industry. ”
"When you wait for the goods, first ask Dongshan Heavy Duty Truck if you want equipment, and you must sell it as soon as possible, and the payment will be remitted... Purchasing Accounts. ”
"What to do with infantry vehicles?"
"Transported to the Huangnigang Iron Toy Factory, maybe someone else transported it by the way, and it has other uses."
"Good leader, the freighter will arrive at noon tomorrow and dock at the port of Yancheng. However, the personnel involved in the operation were monitored when they reported to the higher authorities. ”
"So careless?"
"The NSA has been going crazy lately......"
It's all ......
When the leader of the development and reform heard the busy sound, he put down his mobile phone and took a look, and saw the alarm prompt displayed on the screen, and his eyebrows were instantly twisted into eight characters.
Say the NSA, and be approached by the other party so quickly?
Is it that their own communication technology is too backward, or is the other party too unscrupulous?
………………
Detroit, North America.
Raymond didn't know that the M8 he wanted had to go through three groups of people, disassembled, disassembled, and disassembled, before he could get his hands on it.
I don't know about General Motors, which sticks 200,000 US dollars per unit.
All he knew was that GM could indeed produce the M8.
It is even speculated that the Daewoo General Plant manufactures precision devices, and the four major automobile bases newly put into production by Modu General are used to produce large components such as chassis and tracks.
With Huaxia weapons, not to mention the M8, I am afraid that the KIFV infantry vehicle, which is not an imitation of AIFV, has been sold well all over the world.
General Motors of all evils!
You're dead!
Didi ......
Raymond spat out his cigar, shook the snow off his shoulder, and pulled out his satellite phone with encryption.
"I'm Raymond."
"Mr. Raymond, I'm the head of the NSA Asia-Pacific region, and we just arrived in the Incheon area and intercepted a set of communications, which may be helpful to you."
"Oh?"
"The specific information is still being analyzed, and the general vocabulary includes: Daewoo main factory, production equipment, transportation to Yancheng port......"
"I see, all the information is left at the bottom, maybe it will come in handy."
Raymond hung up, eyes narrowing slightly, looking at the GM shareholders who were hiding in another office and whispering.
'If the matter is exposed, will the production line be transferred immediately?' ’
The North American base in South Stick will definitely obey the orders of the North American military department.
But the group of leaders, even if they are rotated every three or two years, all use the base as the capital to make a fortune.
Invest in the local area, resell armaments, collect money to do things, and use the base channel to privately sell illegal supplies...... Ubiquitous.
It's like the logistics director of the F9 section of the Humphreys base who just went to trial.
In the first half of 99 years, he applied for 1 million US dollars to purchase an engineering vehicle worth 600,000 yuan.
When I bought it, I found that the car did not meet the requirements.
The person in charge waited for two months, applied for scrapping of the engineering vehicle, and then invited bids to hire his retired comrades-in-arms to start a construction company in Nanbangzi at a price of 200,000 US dollars, and dug a big pit behind the base.
Then, the person in charge spent another 200,000 US dollars to hire his retired comrades-in-arms and directly buried the engineering vehicle that he had bought less than three months ago. Subsequently, he re-applied for 2 million yuan and purchased an engineering vehicle worth 1.2 million yuan.
The United Defense Company has done two business, and it must be happy.
In order to consider the client, and to reassure other clients, Carlyle Investments dispatched a team of lawyers to help the logistics supervisor fight the lawsuit, and finally changed the 20-year prison sentence to 1 year......
The rest of the story doesn't explain much.
But what the logistics director did is enough to show that overseas bases can really be lawless.
It would not be impossible if General Motors sent some American knives to the head of the base and asked the GIs to help transfer the factory equipment.
Raymond took off his tweed coat and stepped into the conference room.
900 combat vehicles, the purchase price of the military department is 3.3 million, and his budget for General Motors is also 3.3 million, which is equivalent to not making money, how can there be such a stupid armament businessman?
Therefore, he originally planned to purchase 20 vehicles first, and after the arrival, dismantle and analyze, and United Defense will be able to create the same model.
When the time comes, get rid of General Motors, and you will be able to complete the rest of the orders independently.
But now......
With so much evidence in hand, if you don't kill the other party, you are ashamed of the sacrifice of your brother Nash!
Raymond stepped into the conference room, pulled back his chair, and looked around at the GM shareholders as they stopped talking.
"900 M8s, I want to deliver them in two months."
Smith, chairman of General Motors, naturally will not object to winning all orders.
But building a chariot is not assembling a car.
Manufacturers produce, it takes a cycle.
It also takes a cycle to deliver it to Huaxia Weapons and then transfer it to the Demon Capital.
It still takes a cycle to renovate it at home and ship it back to North America.
Two months, it's too late.
Smith thought for a moment, "Mr. Raymond, if you don't mind going to Huaxia for acceptance and saving shipping time, maybe you can deliver it in two months." ”
"Do you think I'll go to Huaxia?"
"You have a special status, and you will definitely not go, so we will need at least a year."
"Three months at most!"
"Half a year."
"Three months!"
"Wait a minute."
Smith exchanged glances with the shareholders, picked up his phone and walked out of the conference room.
Contact Huaxia Ordnance, and the latter contact the manufacturer.
In order to facilitate contact, Xu Fei has been in communication with the old man in Wubei.
Heard that a large customer asked for a one-month manufacturing cycle......
(General Motors took out the time of its own modification, and then removed the time of ocean transportation, three months became one and a half months, and the old man of armed equipment deducted the time for the transformation of Huaxia weapons, and finally only one month was left.) )
Xu Fei summoned the translucent page, totaling it.
The M8 uses only a few core components and electronics from the Grizzly Bear.
Others, including cylinders, flywheels, and crankshafts, are mass-produced using the basic production line.
This will open a series of model card slots.
From simple mechanical devices at the first level, to complex mechanical devices at the second level, simple electrical devices at the third level, and complex electrical devices at the fourth level......
Not to mention opening 300 card slots.
Placed outside, it is almost equal to 300 production lines.
But that's just production.
In addition, it is necessary to open up many new assembly lines, employ welder, electrical and other technicians, and recruit a large number of engineers to participate in the work.
as well as the purchase of gantry cranes, robotic arms, transfer carts......
If the above conditions are met, the production plan will be set based on the current power supply.
On the first day, 10 sets of accessories were produced, and the engineers were asked to assemble them first.
During the assembly period, another 20 sets of accessories were overproduced, so that the assembled engineers could continue to assemble.
Then 40 sets of accessories were produced......
Waiting for the formation of a cycle, the early daily output may only be a few vehicles, but the accumulation of a lot, as long as the personnel are sufficient, it is possible to produce thousands per day.
A month, that's enough.
In addition, there are 50 maintenance trainees from the military department.
They're good at the business, but they're not familiar with grizzly construction.
Let the other party participate in the assembly of the M8, the name of the United States: practice!
And after assembling 900 M8s, it's almost time for the cadets to graduate.
Xu Fei picked up the mobile phone that had not hung up and replied to the old man.
………
Smith, chairman of General Motors, received the reply and was secretly relieved.
"Mr. Raymond, three months is fine."
"I want cash on delivery."
"Mr. Raymond, 900 M8s, nearly 3 billion budget, no manufacturer is willing to pay the full amount in advance, you need to pay in stages."
"I can't trust you professional scammers who have been cheating for 30 years, you must inspect the goods before you pay."
"That's not called fraud, that's called financial management."
Smith excused himself, walked out of the conference room, and contacted Huaxia Weapons again.
United Defense Cash on Delivery, General Motors will definitely delay payment, and Huaxia Ordnance will also delay payment......
The old man received the news and told Xu Fei.
Xu Fei came back directly, "I sell toys with one hand and deliver them with the other, not to mention this thing?" Tell foreigners that they don't want to pick up the goods if they don't have money. ”
The old man conveyed his opinion.
Smith: "Sir, our company actually has a good relationship with you, at least Modu General can prove the credibility of our company." ”
"What if you go bankrupt during the late payment period?" The old man did not want to advance the scarce foreign exchange to TEP, and also asked for cash settlement.
General Motors already suffered serious losses, and in late 99 years it was fined 4.9 billion US dollars, and Smith could not get the funds, let alone the loan.
But he wasn't going to mess with Raymond anymore.
With such a big deal, United Defense can't afford to pay the bills, right?
"Sir, if you can't trust GM, we can mortgage Modu GM to you."
"I'll think about it."
The old man is just a middleman, and the final decision depends on the willingness of TEP.
Xu Fei received the news, and by the way, he asked the old man for a detailed information about the magic capital.
The mortgage does not mean that he owns it, and he doesn't need other people's factories, he just wants to see how much it is worth, so as to avoid General Motors defaulting on its debts and his own bamboo basket being empty.
But with the eyes of a super toymaker......
The company that invested $1.6 billion in '97 is now worth up to $500 million.
First, the paid-in capital is small.
The second is that there are a bunch of technologies that you don't need at home, and you don't have many actual assets.
Even with a few automotive bases under construction, North America doesn't ship state-of-the-art equipment to the country.
It can even be said that the batch of second-hand equipment brought back from Daewoo can be used as a baby pimple in the magic capital.
All in all, if you want to match the payment, you have to add money or add collateral.
………
The old man helped convey it a few times, and he reluctantly understood the ins and outs of the whole incident.
Follow the sales process:
United Defense →TEP→ Huaxia Ordnance→ General Motors → United Defense.
Follow the payment process:
United Defense ←TEP← Huaxia Ordnance← General Motors ← United Defense.
If United Defense receives the goods and does not pay, who is the most unlucky?
Or rather, this is Carlyle's investment in General Motors.
Using M8 as bait, using TEP, a shell company, to catch Huaxia weapons and take the bait, and then using the network of 'General Motors Invests in Magic Capital GM' to string all this together......
Once the plan is successful.
The 900 M8s produced by United Defense are left hand to right hand, but GM owes TEP nearly $3 billion in debt.
Normally, if United Defense does not pay for the goods, there will definitely be a dispute between the two sides, and even go to court.
However, TEP obtained a large number of assets from General Motors, including Modu GM, the subsequent mortgage of Daewoo General Plant, and the pledged $1 billion Citi bonds......
If Carlyle takes the opportunity to bankrupt General Motors, all collateral will most likely go to TEP, while United Defense will not lose anything.
As for the role that Huaxia weapons play in it......
In an official capacity, gain the trust of General Motors and complete this series of operations.
Thinking of this, the old man of the armed forces convened the staff group and carefully pondered it.
Then I was shocked to find that all the problems that I couldn't understand before had been explained.
Perhaps from the beginning of the investment in the TEP, the other party has formulated everything that has happened in the last few months, and now it is only time to close the net.
But it's also terrifying, right?
In less than three months, such a bureau was set up.
Get rid of a world-class car company - General Motors.
Stealing beams and changing pillars, packaging a large multinational company - TEP.
We will take the opportunity to win the tower company and the magic capital general to open up the Asia-Pacific market and consolidate the capital foundation before China joins the WTO.
It even controls the head factory of the world's top 30 enterprises......
"It is worthy of being the world's first-class investment group second only to 'Blackstone', Carlyle!"
At this moment, the old man of armed equipment was unprecedentedly vigilant and jealous of this North American company.
After all, the other party is also one of the world's top ten arms dealers, and the main competitor of Huaxia weapons.
It can be said that the other party is far more terrifying than the stock god Butterfield and the evil Soros.
As for whether all this is a coincidence......
Is it possible?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
"We have to fight back."
The old man of the armed forces no longer cares about the M8 he handles, and has only one thought in his heart: kill the other party, so that he can live a better life.
The staff immediately moved......
How to counteract?
Xu Fei!
Is there anything more suitable than him?
But the question is, whose son-in-law is Comrade Xiao Xu?
Behind Carlyle's investment is the Kleeman consortium.
According to intelligence, Kleman's shareholders include Raymond, the Lao Bu family, and the Harden family......
Raymond has a son, and it is rumored that he is a same-sex attract.
Lao Bu's granddaughter...... Married.
Harden's side......
The confidential staff officer suddenly remembered one thing, "Watch! ”
The old man of the armed armament did not know why, "Watch? ”
"Xu Fei's plastic watch, Harden also likes to wear it."
", that model has always been popular, maybe it's just a coincidence."
After the old man finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.
Are there so many coincidences in the world?
