Volume 1, Chapter 50, Shanghai Beach (3)
"No problem sir!" Victor responded faster this time and stood at attention.
"Very good, Victor, you still need to establish a higher position in Li & Matheson. I hope you can work hard to become the general manager of Li & Matheson in the Far East. So, now we need to have a good talk about how to do this.
Achieve this goal." As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong made a gesture to sit down, and the two standing foreigners sat down.
At this time, the happy laughter of women came from upstairs. Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly and did not look back. Fisher unconsciously thought of the miserable state of the family before meeting Fang. All changes were brought about by Fang. Again
With determination in the New Year, Fisher sat up straighter. Victor seemed to see the position of general manager waving to him, and he would do what he said. Victor firmly believed in this.
The women came down, talking happily as they walked. The little loli walked briskly, like a deer, and came to Fang Jianxiong. She bowed slightly and said: "Thank you again for your gift. Dear Fang, please allow me not to have sex tonight."
A dance will be held for your arrival."
Needless to say, this idea came from Sally. Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly and said: "Alice, I personally suggest that you better rearrange this room first. In Shanghai, you can buy any furniture you want."
Alice looked at her father in confusion. Fisher smiled and touched his daughter's head and said, "Alice, go and discuss with your mother. We all need something."
Fang Jianxiong added in time: "Little angel, I hope I can be honored to accompany you all over Shanghai to purchase any items you need after you make your decision!"
"Oh!" The little Loli blushed, bowed slightly, and ran to her mother impatiently, muttering. The two women wisely led Alice to the far side to sit down and talk, so as not to disturb the men.
Serious business.
"Okay, let's continue. Victor, have the weapons and equipment I need arrived?"
"Sir, the weapons you need arrived yesterday. Thirty German technicians and three retired army officers also arrived. I have already settled them properly and are waiting for your arrival. This batch of weapons has a total of 10,000 rifles.
Five thousand; 500 new Mauser pistols improved and designed according to your requirements; 200 Bren machine guns; 100 60mm mortars; 100 Maxim heavy machine guns; 18 second-hand 75mm mountain guns
Door. Germany has already advanced the cost of this batch of weapons to the foreign bank, and you only need to pay a little interest. In addition, I considered that such a large transaction may arouse suspicion in other countries, so the machine guns and artillery were shipped directly to Qingdao.
In the warehouse, we will transfer it to you in batches from now on. This suggestion has been recognized by the headquarters of Yangxing Bank."
At the end of his speech, Victor felt a little lack of confidence and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Fang Jianxiong looked at him indifferently and said calmly: "It seems that Liheyangxing has been under a lot of pressure. This is good, so as not to cause the tree to attract wind." Victor said quickly: "That's what I thought about."
Fang Jianxiong's dissatisfaction was intentional. He had no intention of transporting the cannons and machine guns. Now he is just hoarding arms and waiting for the first shot from Wuchang. However, if he wants to expand the team to a certain extent immediately after the Wuchang Uprising, there are things that need to be done.
There are many more. Stocking up on weapons is just the first step.
"If possible, you can clear the relationship with the Qingdao garrison. In the future, you can transport all heavy weapons to Qingdao for storage. If necessary, you can build a few warehouses. The next order should be in the middle of this year, which is basically the same as this one.
You can clearly tell the headquarters that in the next three years, you will be able to obtain approximately 30 million yuan in orders for foreign companies. If necessary, I can come forward to endorse you." After thinking for a while, Fang Jianxiong slowly made a decision.
………………
Bang! The heavy door of the warehouse was opened. Victor, the new assistant manager of Lihe Company, led three Chinese people into the warehouse. The gatekeeper nodded and bowed to accompany him carefully, and the group appeared in front of the small mountain of boxes.
Fang Jianxiong looked at the mountains of arms with a solemn expression and tried hard to control his inner excitement.
"Open the box!" Fang Jianxiong pointed at a box casually, and someone immediately came to move the box out. Victor took action himself, took out a rifle and handed it over. After Fang Jianxiong took it, he skillfully played with the bolt and looked at it.
The rifling is good. The gun is at least 80% new. With the German craftsmanship, it is much better than the one made in Hanyang that requires a slide.
Li Muyan, who was following Fang Jianxiong, appeared on this occasion for the first time. Fang Jianxiong did not inform Feng Changyun. This guy went to a restaurant to have a good time last night. Gu Heng arrived last night, and he was delayed by something.
.
"Mr. Mu Yan, you have seen that the total number of these rifles is fifteen thousand, and the unit price without bullets is forty oceans. It's not me who wants to increase the price, it's the foreign devils who have increased the price." Fang Jianxiong said to Li Muyan at this time.
The guard was still very deep, and the purpose of waiting for him to come to see him now was to show his strength. But at this point, Fang Jianxiong's tone also changed, and he was completely condescending.
Li Muyan was really shocked. The ability to obtain so many rifles at once was beyond his ability. He was completely convinced by Fang Jianxiong's ability.
"No problem, I've underwritten everything. It's just that Mr. Futai needs an explanation." Li Muyan carefully fought for his own interests to see what the limit of Fang Jianxiong's endorsement was.
"It's easy to talk about. It's fifty oceans for a shot. I can ask Mr. Victor to issue the official documents of the foreign company." As he spoke, he glanced at the side and saw a translator promptly translated it into German. Victor listened immediately.
Bowing slightly, without needing to translate, he directly spoke in stammering Chinese with a smile: "As you wish!"
"Also, I need ten days to raise funds. Is there a problem with this? I can pay half of the money now." As he spoke, Li Muyan took out the money order from his belt and handed it to Fang Jianxiong.
Fang Jianxiong took it without even looking at it, threw it to Gu Heng beside him and said, "Mr. Gu, I'll leave this to you."
In Li Muyan's mind, Fang Jianxiong's attitude could only mean that he had no temper at all, and he didn't even take a look at the three hundred thousand ocean. "If you don't raise enough money in a week, you can only take away half of the goods."
.Whether we can keep the rest is hard to say. People are buying guns everywhere now, I think you know better than me."
As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong had already walked away, and Victor quickly followed.
"Fu..., Mr. Fang, Feng Changyun's side..." Li Muyan quickly asked, but Fang Jianxiong didn't even look back: "You don't have to worry about this, the foreigners will take care of him."
At this time, Li Muyan subconsciously lowered his position, and he really didn't dare to call Fang Jianxiong anymore. It seemed that this guy was pretending to be low-key in the past, which was really insidious.
After leaving the dock warehouse and getting on Victor's carriage, Fang Jianxiong said: "Send a trustworthy subordinate to cooperate with Gu Heng to handle the equipment and technical personnel of the factory. In China, strength and a gun are the most important.
"
Victor immediately said: "Sir, I know two young Chinese people with good abilities." Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and said: "I don't care about these, I just want to see the machine shipped to Wuhu, and then complete the installation and debugging within the construction period.
.Also, Eurasia Group is going to hold a recruitment event. You can discuss with Gu Heng what to do, and I won’t get involved in the specifics."
"No problem, sir." As the time of contact with Victor gradually increased, he could feel Fang Jianxiong's majesty more and more. However, at this moment, Fang Jianxiong lamented in his heart, being a leader is not easy, it is too uncomfortable to keep a straight face all day long.
.I don’t know if my face will become paralyzed after a long time!
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Qi Erzhu shouted from outside: "How did you get out of the way? Get up quickly, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead." Fang Jianxiong was stunned, opened the door and got out of the car.
The person lying on the roadside was a young man who had already sat up. There were two young men beside him. Although their clothes were old, they were very clean.
"Chi Na, you hit someone and acted aggressively. Yuesheng, does it matter?" He glanced at the box of cannons in Qi Erzhu's hand with fear. Although the young man beside the young man was not angry, he still lowered his head to help the young man up.
Fang Jianxiong gave Qi Erzhu a stern look. After seeing the guy bow his head and say nothing, he stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to you guys, I'm so lax in my command. I apologize to you all." As he spoke,
, reached back and said: "Er Zhu, bring fifty oceans."
Seeing the bleeding feet of the young man sitting on the ground, and his eyes that did not seem to indicate any pain, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. After receiving Dayang, Fang Jianxiong stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said: "It's just a small thing, little brother, take it to the bruises doctor."
When the young man saw Victor getting out of the car, he hesitated for a moment and flashed an awe-inspiring look. He stretched out his hand, then retracted it and said, "It doesn't take such an ocean to watch a doctor."
Although Victor felt that Fang Jianxiong was making a fuss out of a molehill, he was not in the position to evaluate the boss's work. He even took a step forward and said with a smile: "Sir, there is a missionary hospital nearby. I can call a rickshaw to take him to the doctor."
Fang Jianxiong nodded to Victor with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to grab the young man's hand, put Dayang in his hand and said, "Take it, don't make me feel uneasy. My name is Fang Jianxiong, and I live in Fisher Mansion on Gongguan Road.
If your injury changes, you can go to me. I have other things to do, so I don’t want to delay you. I’m sorry.”
After Fang Jianxiong said that, he turned around and left. The young man had a look of disbelief on his face. Looking at the back of this young man who was similar to himself, the young man's hand holding Dayang shook slightly. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared at the far end that the young man reacted.
When he came over and waved to shout, the companion beside him had already exclaimed: "Hey, you are a great man. He has a foreign follower."
