Therefore, the officers selected by them were all officers who really wanted to show themselves in front of Chongzhen and make achievements.
As for ordinary soldiers, they are very enthusiastic about joining the New Army. After all, the treatment in the New Army sounds very good, and no one will deduct military pay.
I just heard that the new army was training all day long, and the old guys who were waiting to die just quit. Without this group of people making trouble, it seemed peaceful.
The vigorous selection of the new army was circulated among the Beijing Camp, Yutian Camp, Jinyiwei and the Capital Division, and no one noticed the increasingly gloomy sky in Jinzhou.
In reality, when Chen Ye walked out of the black hole, the house was still the same as before he left, but there was already a slight sense of alienation.
Suddenly from the green bricks and green tiles, with the candlelight lighting up, I returned to the cement house, and I still felt uncomfortable for a while.
Su Qing took the key, turned the keyhole and opened the door. She habitually tried to get the shoe covers from the shoe cabinet at the door, but found that the light in the room was on.
"Boss? Are you back?"
With one hand on the door, Su Qing stood at the door and shouted to the living room.
"Yes, I just came back and was about to send you a message."
"It's really you. I thought there was a thief. Why didn't you send a message in advance when you came back? I even came here to clean you. I can't miss the health subsidy today!"
Su Qing heard Chen Ye's voice, put down her guard, put on her shoe covers and walked into the living room, sitting down next to Chen Ye.
Just now, she was afraid that the person who entered the room was not Chen Ye, so she stood at the door so that if there was anything unusual, she would have time to run away immediately.
"It's working time now. Do you want health subsidy? Get up and follow me to the company."
"Just sit there for a while. It's quite a long walk from the company."
"One kilometer is quite far? Get up."
Chen Ye almost laughed out loud. Is there anyone else who is so shameless?
Regardless of Su Qing's hard work, Chen Ye still brought her back to the company.
"Recently, the company received an order from Europe. The employer is a film company and needs to purchase 50,000 flintlock rifles to Tanzania."
"Flintlock gun? Boss, do we want to engage in arms business? We don't have the qualifications either."
Su Qing looked at Chen Ye with a strange look on her face. She suddenly thought, wouldn't Chen Ye be the dog leader chosen by foreign warlords in China?
However, she didn't think it was illegal to do this. As long as it was not privately armed, smuggled and sold in the country, it was not illegal at all to sell it in an official manner.
"What about the nonsense arms? Can the flintlock muskets from the Civil War be called arms? As for qualifications, let the people in the business department figure it out.
If the whole gun is not enough, you can customize the engineering plastic stock, bolt, and flint pieces separately. They are all handicrafts anyway. As for the rifled barrel, I will find someone else to order it.
In short, the importing country has already established a good relationship, and as long as the items are in parts form, they can obtain import qualifications."
Several business people who cooperated with Chen Ye were all demanding money rather than their lives. In addition, Chen Ye guaranteed that the goods would only be transferred in Singapore and there would be no gunpowder or drugs, so the procedures could be obtained.
As for whether tens of thousands of flintlock muskets are arms? Are you kidding me? Which force do you expect black powder flintlock muskets to fight against?
"Okay, in my opinion, this operation is feasible, but does the customer have any requirements for what kind of gun? It's better to just copy it from history."
"What kind of gun? Well, I'll ask the client which country's war he's filming, and then call Ruan Qingshan from the Precious Metals Business Department for me."
"I got it, then I'll go out and make arrangements for the person in charge of purchasing to find out about the qualifications required for the import and export of these handicrafts, as well as the necessary procedures."
Su Qing glanced at Chen Ye speechlessly. She really couldn't believe how unreliable this boss was. He already had orders and didn't know what the customer's needs were.
After Su Qing left, Chen Ye began to search for the type of flintlock gun he needed online.
It's not that Chen Ye didn't get a bolt-action rifle for Chongzhen, but this thing was determined by the system to be an arms and could not be transported.
Originally, Chen Ye planned to directly purchase lathes and machine parts in the Ming Dynasty, but that would not only be too slow, but also not easy to establish supporting facilities. It is still slow at this stage.
This is not the period of the Anti-Japanese War. The leaders at least have academic backgrounds. In the Ming Dynasty, there was not even a single person who could understand the principles of power generation.
Besides, what can the car be used for after the parts are produced? Primer making, bullet casing making, smokeless gunpowder, these things can be produced in the Ming Dynasty’s industrial environment in a short period of time?
The flintlock gun directly uses electronic ignition, isn't it delicious? Changing the battery can also control the flow of the gun, and it is not affected by the weather.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
"Manager Ruan, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a short time to use it. The time has come for you to show your talents."
Chen Ye stared at Ruan Qingshan with a sweet smile, which made Ruan Qingshan's skin crawl.
However, what Chen Ye said is correct. The company's shipments of precious metals are usually very small, so Ruan Qingshan's job is the most idle in the company.
Of course, he is the only one in the entire department, and it is true that the office area is shared with other departments.
"It's like this. My friend's gold mine in South Africa has been officially put into production recently. The annual output is about ten tons. Someone in my family has some shares, so I took over half of it."
"The annual output is more than ten tons! It's a big mine. Will all this gold be transported to China?"
"Yes, so I would like to ask, if you want to cooperate with Yangma, is the annual output of about ten tons enough?"
When Chen Ye was in Singapore, he had already sensed the desire of various countries for gold reserves. In addition, China also had a demand for gold, so it made him think that gold could be used to open up some relationships.
"Well, actually at the national level, ten tons of gold a year is a lot, but the central government has reduced its intention to purchase gold since 2016.
So if you want to cooperate with Yangma, I'm afraid there are not many conditions to obtain it. I personally recommend using these things to operate abroad. Doesn't the company have more overseas business?
However, I will try my best to contact Yangma’s channels, but if the company needs any care, you have to talk and make a decision in person."
"Smart, I like people who can do things. I'll give you one million operating capital for one month, and the company doesn't care whether it's more or less.
Relevant procedures, including gold mining procedures, will also be issued to you, as long as you find the person who can make the decision."
Chen Ye wanted to recruit that headhunter into the company. The person he introduced was not only very capable, but also had good understanding.
Needless to say, he knew that he wanted to cooperate with Yang Ma because he wanted to obtain conditions.
After Ruan Qingshan left Chen Ye's office, he returned to his workstation happily.
His job is to find channels for the company to sell precious metals, so if he doesn't have an order, the company is supporting him.
Chen Ye continued to dispatch new orders to Su Qing, communicated with his small procedure group, and replenished various supplies that were about to arrive at the Hong Kong warehouse.
Due to the pressure on food and salary that was about to begin in the Jinzhou Campaign, Chongzhen was also forced to make money like crazy.
In addition to the gold shipped to Chen Ye, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to change all kinds of precious wood, jade, top-quality abalone, and ginseng medicinal materials that the capital could temporarily buy, and put them in the display window as long as the unit price was higher than silver.
