Regarding James's bargaining, Yang Zhen didn't even bother to pay attention this time. He directly raised two fingers, meaning to tell them that 200 million U.S. dollars is 200 million U.S. dollars and there will be no compromise. [. Regarding Li Yanping tugging on his sleeve in private,
Instructing him to stop as soon as he was ready, Yang Zhen shook his head slightly, telling Li Yanping not to worry.
In fact, Yang Zhen is now betting on what attitude and thoughts the people behind these Americans have towards him. But judging from the fact that they finally agreed to sell most of the equipment on their wanted list, Yang Zhen
Zhen felt that he had made the right bet.
Seeing Yang Zhen holding up his fingers representing two hundred million US dollars, he resisted the urge to break off the two fingers dangling in front of his eyes. After discussing quietly with several other company representatives around him, James finally said: "One
Eighty million US dollars, this is the largest authorization I have received from the company."
"But I promise you, we can replace the remaining 20 million U.S. dollars with other products. And this substitute can be chosen by you. But I have a suggestion. I want to leave 20 million U.S. dollars as a mobile emergency fund.
It’s a good choice, after all, the communication between us is not that convenient.”
"Yang, you should know that when purchasing equipment, there are often some price fluctuations. Once there is insufficient funds, we will probably waste time looking for you. So I think we keep some mobile funds on hand.
It’s still necessary.”
"And after all the equipment arrives, if you feel that you are missing something, we can directly use this fund to buy it for you. Of course, if this fund has not been used, we will wait for one year, that is, when all the equipment has arrived.
Later, they will be returned to you together."
After hearing James's final bid, Yang Zhen knew that it would be difficult to extract more cash from them. After pondering for a long time, Yang Zhen finally nodded and said: "Well, since Mr. James said so, I will continue to be stubborn.
It's a bit unreasonable. One hundred and eighty million is one hundred and eighty million, let's make a deal."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the two people who were obviously relieved after hearing his nod, smiled slightly and said: "However, I can't just collect 20 million US dollars out of thin air, can I? So I still have a little
It’s a small request, I hope you can meet it.”
James and Pearson, who had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Yang Zhen finally nodded, became anxious again when they heard that Yang Zhen had another request. Although Yang Zhen said that his request was just a small one.
It was a small request, but in the eyes of the two of them, any small request would bring considerable trouble to the guy in front of them, who had a great appetite and was extremely cunning.
Seeing the two people hear him talking about his small request, Yang Zhen suddenly became a little nervous. He laughed secretly in his heart and said: "Actually, my request is not high. I just hope that you will have all the materials."
After the purchase is completed, it would be better to help us spend the 20 million US dollars."
"As for what will happen in a year, who knows what will happen? Maybe the fat and strong Japanese fed by you will invade the United States and occupy the United States. After all, you have been helping evil for so long.
It’s time, let the Japanese rely on the resources they plundered from China, they have already grown big, right? So I think we should not delay our matter until a year later, it is better to strike while the iron is hot."
When Yang Zhen said this, he raised his fingers and said, "My request is very simple. One-tenth of the 20 million U.S. dollars, which is 2 million U.S. dollars, you can use to help us purchase some scientific experiments."
We want instruments, everything in science and engineering. Also, I want a physics collider, you should know this."
"Secondly, with another 1.5 million US dollars, we need to hire a group of experts. We have introduced so much equipment at one time, and we need someone to teach our workers to operate it. Experts in automobiles, metallurgy, chemistry, construction, and geology,
We all want them. We also want skilled workers."
"And we can pay them double the salary in the United States. I think according to the current salary in the United States, this 1.5 million US dollars should be able to hire thousands of talents in this field. It doesn't need to be many experts, there are several in each field
That’s fine. But I want as many skilled workers as there are.”
"Third, of the remaining 16.5 million U.S. dollars, we can deposit 15 million with you as a reserve fund. When we need something urgently, we can send you a telegram and you can directly help us place an order.
.As for the last US$1.5 million, we can hope to establish an education fund to cultivate our own international students.
"I know that the United States has established an education fund using the Boxer Indemnity to train high-level talents for China. But I think you know that the talents selected by this fund every year are still too few for the needs of this country. Mr. Pearson
We don’t want to do anything, we just want to cultivate more talents for this troubled motherland.”
"If after six months, after all the equipment is in place, the US$15 million is still not used, I hope to entrust Mr. James to use the US$15 million to help us purchase some shares of Boeing Aircraft Company and Douglas Company.
I believe that in the near future, these stocks will give me a satisfactory harvest."
After saying this, Pearson's expression changed slightly when he saw that he mentioned these two companies. Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Major Pearson, don't worry. I want to buy the stocks of these two companies.
It’s not because we want to acquire these two companies, but simply because we want to use the stock proceeds to pay for scholarships for international students in the United States in the future.”
"Every country has its bottom line, and I understand this. So we have no intention of controlling or buying these two aircraft companies. We just want to make some money on stocks and support our international students. You also know,
We are very poor, and based on the cost of living in the United States, we cannot sustain ourselves for too long with the US$1.5 million fund alone. We have to get some extra money to prevent us students from going hungry."
"After the war, we will sell these stocks as soon as possible. Major Pearson, please tell the White House that we have no purpose of controlling the aircraft production of the United States of America. Our purpose is very simple, just to make money. Besides, this money
Investing in these two companies will also help these two companies grow in another aspect, right?"
Yang Zhen's idea of using stock profits to pay for the living expenses of international students had already come up when Li Yanping talked to him about the central government's plan to take advantage of this rare opportunity to send a group of international students to develop in Europe and the United States. In Yang Zhen's opinion, either
Don't send them, don't compete with the National Government for business, and send more people if you want to send them.
And after the payment of all expenses relies solely on the introduction of machinery and equipment, the little money left to pay for the living expenses of these international students will definitely not last long. The best way to use money is to let them make money. Only by letting money make money.
Only by continuing to make money can he make the money more valuable. He must not be a miser. It is still necessary for Yang Zhen to choose a good investment direction. In this war of windfalls in the United States, it is still necessary for Yang Zhen to make some money by riding on the wind.
of.
These two companies can be said to be dominant in later generations, but in the current American aviation industry where all the heroes are together, although it is not as conspicuous as Curtiss, it grew and expanded rapidly with the help of its unique business methods during World War II.
Until it finally merged with most of the aviation manufacturing companies in the United States.
Buying the stocks of these two companies will not be as conspicuous as buying the shares of Curtiss and North American, which specializes in producing aircraft for the Army, nor will it be as high-profile as buying the stocks of Grumman and Northrop, which specializes in producing aircraft for the U.S. Navy.
People should pay attention. Especially Douglas Company, which is basically not involved in fighter production now, should still go relatively smoothly.
Among these two aircraft companies, Douglas Company's performance during World War II was not as eye-catching as that of Republic and several North American companies, but its performance and development were steady and steady. The C-47 and C-54 military transport aircraft it produced have almost become synonymous with transport aircraft.
Its civilian model DC III and DC passenger aircraft have almost monopolized the civil aviation market.
After Boeing completed the production of the P-26 fighter, it completely withdrew from the fighter market and concentrated on the development of large bombers. Among its subsequent flagship products, the B-17 bomber had just completed mass production at this time, and the later super bomber B-20
Nine has no shadow yet.
In the aviation market where all the heroes are competing, it seems to be somewhat unknown. Compared with the time when later generations almost dominated the entire world's large passenger aircraft manufacturing industry, it is not so eye-catching at this time. Although it is known that during World War II, almost all aircraft manufacturers in the United States
Aircraft companies are making huge profits.
But compared with several companies such as North America, Republic, Curtiss and Grumman, which became the largest aircraft manufacturers in the United States in World War II in the following years, Yang Zhen still chose these two companies, which now mainly produce civilian aircraft.
Companies. Because those companies that are currently the main suppliers to the U.S. Army and Navy are too conspicuous. Even if I try my best, Americans will not agree to buy their stocks.
After appeasing Major Pearson, Yang Zhen turned to Mr. James on the side and said: "Mr. James, I hope that you will handle all the stock matters. In order to protect your interests, I have decided that of all the profits from these stocks, you
You can withdraw 5% as remuneration. However, regarding the education fund, you and all of you here have to become a supervisory committee with full power to supervise the use of this fund."
Now that the matter has been settled, it is a good thing for James that there is still such a large amount of remuneration available. Therefore, regarding Yang Zhen's invitation, he nodded without thinking: "Yang, as long as the United States
If the government approves your appointment of overseas students and purchase of stocks, I can provide some help."
"However, we hope that you will be more cautious when selecting international students. Don't want those playboys who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. That will ruin the image of you and your party among the American people. And if you find that these international students are engaged in anything related to them,
If they do something inappropriate for their status, such as promoting your revolution or engaging in some illegal industries, I have the right to terminate funding for them and report them to the government of the United States of America to expel them."
