Chapter six hundred and twentieth extravagant deception
In the past, Fengjun was just a distant and illusory impression of power, but now the situation is completely different. After seeing these advanced equipment, I have the most real feeling about Fengjun's power.
Being able to sell so much equipment easily, it is simply unimaginable how advanced and powerful Fengjun's own equipment will be. If we can rely on this big tree and get the support of Fengjun, we will definitely become stronger quickly.
Therefore, when Chen Jiongming heard Sun Xianrui say that Zhang Tinglan was very optimistic about him, Chen Jiongming felt short of breath. A God-given opportunity was right in front of him. How could he be willing to give up?
"Miss Sun, Chen has always admired Lan Shuai and is willing to work for Lan Shuai. If you have any instructions, just say so."
"How can I, a girl, take care of your men's affairs? When I go to Guangzhou this time, I will mostly relax and visit the beautiful scenery. As for other things, they are all casual interests. If you want to cooperate with Fengjun, please contact Fengtian directly.
Well, I believe that currency exchange is a good entry point, Lan Shuai is looking forward to this!"
Although Sun Xianrui said he didn't care, he was actually telling Chen Jiongming. How could he not understand? Chen Jiongming thought for a while and asked: "Miss Sun, I heard that Fengtian and Shanxi signed a currency swap agreement some time ago.
, and I also heard that the West hates this agreement very much. I still can’t figure out what’s important in it!”
Sun Xianrui smiled slightly: "Governor Chen, this is a very simple economic principle. Is there anything you don't understand? The so-called currency swap is actually the exchange of goods between the two parties. According to the original trade, the currencies of the two provinces are different, and we need to exchange them for the ocean."
, or foreign currency. Then the transaction is carried out. In this process, the West can extract profits from it. Now we exchange directly and get rid of them. The profit is ours alone. If people eat less, they will naturally object!
"
Chen Jiongming is not an idiot. When he heard this, he understood the essence of the so-called currency s It was actually to squeeze out the currencies and finance of the great powers from the Chinese market. Everyone knows that the great powers relied on banks and finance to
If China continues to deprive China of its wealth, if this claw is cut off, they will naturally jump out to oppose it.
"Miss Sun, Lan Shuai is indeed far-sighted. Once the currency swap is carried out, it will be equivalent to stealing the meat from the mouths of the great powers. Only Lan Shuai dares to do such a thing!"
Sun Xianrui smiled very proudly and said: "Lan Shuai has always been able to straighten his back when dealing with the big powers. Governor Chen, don't let the big powers bend your back."
"Don't worry, Miss Sun, excluding the great powers is also a good thing for the people of Guangdong. Chen will definitely resist the pressure and will never let down Lan Shuai's love!"
Sun Xianrui sent Chen Jiongming away. Deng Xihou had been waiting in another reception room early. It was with his help that the price was raised from the beginning. For this reason, Fengjun got at least three hundred more.
With a profit of 10,000, Sun Xianrui was very polite to Deng Xihou and Sun Xianrui.
"Mr. Deng. Among the arms originally planned for auction, there are still ten 152mm heavy artillery and fifty mortars that have not been auctioned. These are reserved for you. You can take them back first. Armed
For your own troops, as for the payment for goods, just use things like bristle tung oil to pay for it."
Nothing can move people's hearts like real benefits. When Deng Xihou heard Sun Xianrui's words, his face suddenly burst into smiles. Feng Jun was indeed generous, and what's even more rare was that he didn't have to waste cash, just use local products. This is the best thing in the world.
Rarely cheap.
"Miss Sun, I hope you can tell Commander Lan that Mr. Deng is grateful for his great kindness. In the future, if there is any order from the army, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Sichuan is a place where warlords fight, and there are so many grass-head kings from all walks of life. It is impossible for Zhang Tinglan not to care. He has long wanted to support agents and do things for himself. Now he has achieved his goal.
After meeting Deng Xihou and Chen Jiongming, other forces also came one after another. They all carefully calculated the results of the auction to see how much these weapons could improve the old enemy's combat effectiveness and whether they still had a chance of winning.
After calculating this, those who were in a weak position wanted to catch up, and those who were temporarily in the lead wanted to expand their advantage. Therefore, after calculating the affordability of their wallets, they became cruel and came to Sun Xianrui again, hoping to continue purchasing weapons.
But at this time, Sun Xianrui had seen no one else. The eldest lady was traveling around again, purchasing various specialties, especially fruits. She specially hired a fast boat and purchased a large number of fresh fruits, which are specialties from the south.
An ice pack was added inside to keep it fresh, and then it was sent back to Fengtian as quickly as possible.
Zhang Tinglan, Zhou Xinyao, and the newly born Princess Shuaifu all have a big share, which can be regarded as Miss Sun's heart. Sun Xianrui is shopping profusely in Guangzhou, spending money lavishly and not caring, and everyone else is also there
I feel sad secretly that all this money was earned from them.
However, they were still hoping that Sun Xianrui could earn more money from them. They all wanted to get more arms! But Sun Xianrui had completely pushed out the arms issue.
Fengjun is a peace-loving man. How could he casually sell these weapons and let them be used in the civil war? This auction is because Fengjun wants to reward the heroes who killed Sun Wen. There will be no such thing in the future.
.
Of course, this was just an external statement. Sun Xianrui had already let his subordinates secretly let out the news that Fengjun would choose an arms agent in Southwest China and Guangdong and Guangxi. After obtaining this qualification, he would be able to sell Fengjun's arms as an agent, and not only would he have priority in purchasing arms.
, and can also extract 5% profit from it.
After hearing the news, all the warlord leaders in the southwest became red-eyed. They all understood that the power of this so-called agent was definitely not simple.
Whoever can obtain the most arms can raise more troops and have better equipment. In other words, this is the dominant power in the region. Who is willing to miss it?
Therefore, after getting the news, all the local forces sent people to contact Fengjun to fight for qualifications. Some people kept visiting Sun Xianrui, even blocking her on the road. Sun Xianrui was a little scared when he saw how crazy these people were.
No matter where she went, there would be a group of people staring at her, which made her very uncomfortable and had to end the journey early.
On the way back by boat, Sun Xianrui encountered another huge fleet. In the fleet, there were a cargo ship, eight tugboats, and three ships ranging from more than 3,000 tons to 10,000 tons.
The fleet of warships is huge and looks very spectacular.
The only problem appeared on these warships. All the warships were rusty and their weapons had been dismantled. Even the largest ship had traces of explosives. A majestic ship.
It's just a scrapped piece of junk, which makes people feel sad to see it.
The person in charge of this fleet is Wu Yulin of Huludao Shipyard. Since the Baden was returned to Fengtian, the global purchase of scrapped warships has begun. Fengjun sent many groups of people, mainly to the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and
France, these old naval powers, have many warships that need to be scrapped.
Building warships costs a lot of money, and dismantling warships also consumes a lot of energy. In many cases, it is a loss-making business. Therefore, when Fengjun is willing to buy it at a premium, many people are tempted.
However, various countries are still wary of what Feng Jun wants to use the old warships for, so they are still unwilling to sell the main warships. They can only sell some old warships and have to dismantle all the weapons.
But Fengjun doesn't care. As long as the price is right, he will buy it without hesitation. During this period, a batch of scrapped warships have been shipped back to Fengtian.
This time Wu Yulin towed three warships back from Europe. The fleet happened to meet Sun Xianrui, and they also returned to Fengtian together.
"Director Wu, have you heard that many people say that we are rag pickers? Many great powers have published articles in newspapers, saying that we even treat things that the great powers don't want as treasures. This shows how high Fengtian's industrial level is.
Low. Therefore, the arms we sell are also complete garbage, and truly knowledgeable people will never sell them."
Wu Yulin said with a smile: "Miss Sun, there are only two kinds of people who say this, one is confused, and the other pretends to be confused because they understand. The steel used in warships is all high-quality steel, and after being remelted, it is used for processing
Guns and artillery are all of the best choice. It’s just that the great powers don’t lack gun steel, they just don’t want to dismantle it. If we dismantle it, we can still make a lot of profit!”
Sun Xianrui nodded: "So that's what happened. I don't think we are in such a state of embarrassment. Otherwise, Brother Lang's management for so many years would have become a joke!"
At this point, Sun Xianrui's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but ask: "Director Wu, is it the commander-in-chief who asked you to acquire warships?"
"That's right."
"Is there a conspiracy? You definitely don't just want scrap steel, right?"
Wu Yulin shook his head like a rattle, but Sun Xianrui still said with a sneer: "A man as smart as Brother Lan, whatever he does, he has lofty plans and interlocking plans. If according to your statement, it is because of the lack of steel, then
It’s so appropriate to invest in a steel plant, why go to all the trouble to buy a junk ship? There is definitely a conspiracy in this!”
After being exposed by Sun Xianrui, Wu Yulin could only smile bitterly and said: "Miss Sun, just ask the commander directly about these things, I don't know a word of it!"
The mighty fleet sailed along the offshore coast and finally returned to Huludao after more than twenty days. Zhang Tinglan was already waiting at the port. Seeing Sun Xianrui coming back with the ship, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't expect that.
You also have a talent for business, and we have made millions more by just taking this trip, which is really amazing."
"What does this mean? Don't think that only men know how to fight against each other. We are also women and men."
"It doesn't seem like cheating is a good thing. Isn't it inappropriate for you to be the first to take the lead in this kind of thing?"
"If there's anything wrong, just think of it as a strategist."
"Yes." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Female Zhuge, Da Ya is still waiting for you to tell me what you have learned along the way. You should learn how to Fengtian as soon as possible."
"Huh, if you want to drive me away, you should find a better excuse. Da Ya can't speak yet, so how can you understand what I say. You, the father, have also given Da Ya a formal name.
She screamed like a farm child."
"What's wrong with farm children? At least they are easy to feed."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. You're not responsible at all. I really miss you. It's time to go back to Fengtian."
After sending Sun Xianrui away, Zhang Tinglan called Wu Yulin to his side and asked hurriedly: "How is the situation in Europe? Have the Mackensen-class battlecruisers been dismantled?"
"Not yet. The British have too many warships to decommission, and they can't take care of them for the time being. I inspected the situation of these four warships. The first one is basically built, but it doesn't have outfitting. The next three ships have it.
There are a lot of shortcomings. If you want to make a decision, it would be best to get the first Mackensen back."
Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly: "Director Wu, based on your observation, is there any hope of getting it back?"
"I think there is still some. The current situation of Britain and France is not good. If we spend some money to get the warships back, there will be absolutely no problem. But there is a prerequisite, and that is to make the great powers really believe that we are buying warships just to waste them.
Steel!"
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he said with a smile: "Then let them believe that my order is to dismantle the battleship Baden starting from tomorrow. It is best to let everyone in the world know!" (To be continued. If you like
