"General Madan, this is one million dollars. Please check the check first."
Xia Han said as he pushed a check in front of the Frenchman opposite. As soon as the French lieutenant general saw the series of zeros on the check, his eyes were a little dazzled. He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Although he is a lieutenant general, Madan's salary is just enough to maintain an ordinary life.
Especially after experiencing this cruel war, the lieutenant general has been tortured by death and is a little numb. He hopes to never fight such a war again, and to enjoy life well before he is completely old.
, fine wine and beautiful women are his favorite things.
After Xia Han arrived in Europe, he had been keeping track of the situation. After about two months of investigation, he learned about Madan's status and his preferences. This general was responsible for the temporary management of the Ruhr area, and it was he who dismantled factories and equipment.
Handled with one hand, the authority is astonishing.
For such a greedy and lecherous general, money is the best way to impress him. Xia Han directly threw out the US dollar check. Seeing Ma Dan who was extremely happy, Xia Han also showed a proud smile. These foreigners had nothing to do with it.
Amazing, just as greedy.
"Your Excellency General, as long as the equipment of the steel plant is successfully transported, another one million US dollars will be remitted to your account."
When Ma Dan heard this, he swallowed hard, with an extremely greedy look in his eyes. He suddenly asked: "Xia, don't you want to consider something else?"
"Oh?" Xia Han raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "General, what are you referring to?"
"Of course it's all kinds of machinery and equipment. I have countless equipment on hand, not just steel plants, but also fertilizer plants, metallurgical plants. Machine manufacturing plants, as long as you need them, you can trade in this way."
This time it was Xia Han's turn to be surprised. It seems that this Frenchman is bolder than expected. He is a typical rich man who dares to sell anything. In fact, this is playing into his hands. With such a greedy guy, it is impossible to
Worry about not being able to get good stuff.
"Your Majesty General, I only purchase the most useful things. I'm afraid those factories are not as valuable as the steel plants?" Xia Han played hard to get.
Unexpectedly, Ma Dan was immediately fooled. He said hurriedly: "Those factories are very good. Although they are worse than those in France, they are also very useful. And the price is easy to discuss. I can ask for less!"
As soon as Madan said these words, he felt that he was a bit like a street vendor, which was really detrimental to his identity. He could only add: "The Xia Peace Conference has been held. Damn it, the United States and Britain asked France to withdraw their troops from the Ruhr. They gang
Bastards, you have no idea how much the French have sacrificed for victory, this place should be ours!"
Xia Han also understood this time that the general knew that his power would expire at any time. Therefore, he wanted to earn as much as possible before then.
Xia Han's brows wrinkled slightly, and he said cruelly, "Your Majesty General, I will pay you another five million US dollars in one lump sum. You must cooperate fully with whatever machinery and equipment I install in the Ruhr area. This payment
I will deposit the money for you in a special account in a Swiss bank and you can withdraw it at any time, what do you think?"
Five million! After Ma Dan heard this number, his mind was filled with stars. He was knocked unconscious. This guy thought that Xia Han could give out another one or two million, but he didn't know that five was mentioned all of a sudden.
Millions, how could he not be overjoyed!
Such a dignified lieutenant general nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, as long as I am still in charge of the Ruhr area, you can act as you please, and France will fully provide convenience!"
Ma Dan thought he had gotten a big bargain, and Xia Han was secretly happy. Not to mention spending five million US dollars, he would have accepted it even if he spent another ten million US dollars. The Ruhr area is the industrial center of Germany, except
In addition to large steel plants, there are also a large number of machinery manufacturing plants with large mining machinery, large water forging presses and die forging presses, and other treasures that even money cannot buy.
When he first formulated the plan, Xia Han didn't dare to do these things, but when he saw how greedy the French were, Europe was at the most disorderly time. Leaders from various countries gathered in Paris and were working for each other's benefit, like
They are like hawkers, constantly arguing.
It would be a crime not to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get all the necessary equipment back. Even if it is not needed temporarily, it will be shipped back to China and stored. After this village, there will be no such store.
After negotiating with Ma Dan, Xia Han immediately started preparations. He also knew that although the peace conference would not be short, it was still too short for the relocation of these machines and equipment. They must be coordinated and transported as quickly as possible.
.
He hurriedly found Kuang Rongguang and told him about his meeting with Ma Dan. After hearing this, Kuang Rongguang's eyes shone. He didn't expect that he could make a way out with money alone.
"These seven million US dollars are worth spending, so worth it! With Madan's permission, we can transport these treasures away in the name of purchasing scrap iron and scrap machines. We usually spend tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Treasures that were not available for sale can now be bought for just a few million dollars. It’s really great. The most important thing now is to act quickly.”
Xia Han also nodded and said: "The old chief has specially arranged a transport fleet. The Rhine River happens to pass through here, so the ships can directly arrive at the Ruhr, and then be loaded onto the ship and transported directly. Let's take advantage of the current chaos to transport it back to the country.
!”
"Okay, let's do it. We've made a lot of money this time. I'm afraid Zhu Yan will be very happy when we go back!"
Zhang Tinglan had already made various preparations in order to buy Europe at the lowest price. Xia Han and Kuang Rongguang were just a delegation to confirm the procurement project, and there were other manpower to coordinate the actions.
Among them are those from the banking system who are responsible for finance, those who are responsible for transportation, a dedicated relocation team, and a professional research team. Everyone cooperates closely to form a tight whole. After Xia Han and the others make a decision, each of them
The department began to operate efficiently.
The first thing to be moved onto the ship were the two steel plants, which were the basis of everything. After the steel plants were moved, Xia Han originally proposed to move the ammonia plant, but Kuang Rongguang stopped it.
"Xia Han, we have more important treasures to transport. These are things that money can't buy. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it!"
"Mr. Kuang, tell me quickly, what is so important? It's more important than synthetic ammonia!"
"Forging press!" Kuang Rongguang spat out three words softly. Xia Han was still a little confused. Kuang Rongguang continued: "Forging press is a machine used to shape metal raw materials. To put it simply, it processes large parts.
Whether it is automobiles, ships, metallurgy, steel rolling, Chinese industry, or military industry, as long as large equipment is needed, large forging presses are indispensable. It can be said that this is the treasure of the country and the foundation of industrial manufacturing. In the past, it was definitely rich.
If we don’t buy a few of the things we can’t buy now, we won’t regret it to death!”
Xia Han's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Kuang Rongguang's explanation, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Kuang, I will do as you say, but we can't get the small ones, we must get the best things!"
"Don't worry, this time I have taken a fancy to a 3,000-ton die forging press, which is the most advanced equipment in Germany. There are also two 7,000-ton free forging hydraulic presses. These are all industrial giants.
As long as the machines are moved back to China, we will have a basic guarantee for the production of various large-scale equipment. Moreover, the Japanese do not have this level of equipment. After we get it, the production efficiency can be increased by at least five times, and it can also
It can save half the raw materials.”
The more Kuang Rongguang introduced, the more tempted Xia Han was. At first, Kuang Rongguang said that they only paid attention to the machines that produce products, but not the machines that produce the machines. It was a short-sighted behavior. Now, looking at it, how correct it is. With such a large machine,
You can produce and develop key equipment yourself and never have to be controlled by others.
Without these things, mechanical equipment is developing forward every moment, which means that we have to constantly import equipment from China, and we will never be truly self-reliant!
"Mr. Kuang, don't say anything anymore. Let's act quickly without delay!"
After Xia Han and the others determined their strategy, they launched operations as quickly as possible. Ships from all over the world continued to arrive on the Rhine, and then they left Germany with ship after ship of equipment. A considerable number of them were called by Zhang Tinglan.
Some of these ships flew under the flag of the United States, some under the flag of Japan, and some under the flag of Latin American countries, crossing the ocean and heading towards China.
After the relocation of the Ruhr area was somewhat clear, Xia Han did not rest and ran to Paris non-stop. The French dismantled a large amount of equipment and shipped it all back to the country, including a large number of machine tools, which were used in the manufacturing industry.
Basically, German machine tools are a traditional strength, and Xia Han is also coveting it. After getting those key factories and equipment, if he can get some high-performance machine tools, everything will be perfect.
He had just arrived in Paris and bumped into his old acquaintance Gu Weijun in the hotel where he was staying. He was sitting in a corner of the lobby. It was fate to meet him by chance in a foreign land, and Gu Weijun was a diplomat, so he must know more information. Xia Han
He walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, we meet again. It's always nice!"
Gu Weijun looked at Xia Han and was stunned: "Mr. Xia, don't you want to purchase equipment? Is everything done?"
"I have purchased a little bit, but you have to be careful when selling things and use your money wisely. I have come to Paris to see the situation."
After sitting down, Gu Weijun said with a wry smile: "Mr.
We can't even retain power, this victorious country is really meaningless!" After Gu Weijun finished speaking, he lowered his head and clenched his fists. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
