My cousin's talent in this area made Zhou Wen have another thought. It would be a waste to drive me, but it would be more like flying a plane for me.
When he thought he could do it, he took his cousin to his uncle's house. After telling him his plan on the way, Wang Chengming went crazy with excitement and yelled all the way to vent his excitement. Passers-by avoided him and made him
With this madman.
Wang Wenzhao was dumbfounded when he heard Zhou Wen's plan, what? Flying a plane? He has never seen anything like this plane, and he is flying a plane. Zhou Wen understood his uncle's mood, so he explained patiently. Finally, he said: "According to Xiao Ming
With his personality, he definitely wants to get involved in my affairs. If we can stop him for a while, can we stop him forever? War is not a joke, it is too dangerous. Uncle, you also know my plan.
With the development in the future, we will consider buying an airplane in a few years, so we might as well let him learn to fly an airplane. Flying in the sky is much safer than fighting."
After hearing this, his uncle grabbed Zhou Wen's hand and said anxiously: "Awen, aren't you in danger? I think you don't want to be a soldier anymore, so just resign and go home. Your father's family fortune is not enough
Are you bothering? Besides, even if it’s a war, Xiao Ming can go if you want, and I can feel more at ease with him by your side."
Zhou Wen felt moved in his heart. This is his uncle. In his eyes, he is more important than his own son. He explained patiently. After getting the consent of his uncle and aunt, Zhou Wen solemnly said to his cousin: "Xiao Ming, you want to
Well, flying a plane requires a lot of hardships and a lot of knowledge. You have to be mentally prepared."
Wang Chengming also said seriously: "Cousin, don't worry, as long as I can help you and follow you, I am willing to do anything and listen to you. I just want to be like before, we can do everything together."
Zhou Wen patted his shoulder heavily, and then said: "Joining us is equivalent to joining a mercenary group. No matter how small a mercenary group is, it is still an army. You should report to the military camp tomorrow and train with the new recruits of the guard. Three
In a few months, I will find a foreign language teacher for you to learn English. I will try to send you to study abroad to fly a plane within this year."
Just like that, the next day there was another young recruit Wang Chengming on the military camp playground.
After arranging his cousin's affairs, Zhou Wen finally had time to carefully study the plan written by little Henry.
The plan is very detailed. It lists out a timetable for several projects that Zhou Wen intends to invest in in the near future. Which project will be started first and how much will be invested? What kind of equipment will be purchased? What is the price? They are all listed one by one. It is clear and organized.
What's even more valuable is that it has analyzed and explained the current situation and product characteristics of the companies that own American products. Which company's products and equipment do you recommend purchasing, and why? What is the cost-effectiveness? Very detailed.
Zhou Wen knew that this was the period of the Great Depression in the United States. There was a large backlog of products and a large number of factories closed down. For example, steelmaking equipment. Little Henry suggested buying equipment from closed steelmaking plants. Some of the latest and most advanced equipment had just been put into production.
How long does it take for the company to go bankrupt? Just focus on buying these equipment, which is the most cost-effective. Moreover, the technical staff of these closed factories have lost their jobs. Now you can hire the best workers and technical engineers for a small amount of money.
There is also the purchase of trucks. Little Henry suggested buying the latest 2.5-ton truck from Ford in the United States. Because he learned that Ford cannot sell a large number of new cars. A batch of new cars have been sold to customers, but they cannot pay because the customers are bankrupt.
The remaining balance had to be withdrawn. In the United States, as long as the car has a license plate, no matter whether it is new or not, it can only be treated as a second-hand car, and the price is immediately reduced by one-third. This situation is now common in the United States.
a lot of.
Zhou Wen was delighted, this was a good opportunity for Taobao.
Now we need to set up a company first, and go to the United States to make purchases in the name of this company. It is not difficult to set up a company, but it is difficult to let little Henry go to the United States with so many US dollars alone. Then who should go with him?
What? This is a difficult problem. It would be more suitable for me to follow the entire mercenary group, but how could I possibly be able to get away after being away for several months?
When Zhou Wen brought little Henry to discuss, Little Henry solved the problem. Even if Zhou Wen was relieved, he would not dare to go to the United States with so much US dollars. If he was targeted by someone with intentions, let alone the money, it would be him.
You can't save your life. But there is a way to solve it. Just find an American import and export company in Shanghai as an agent. This kind of company is easy to find in Shanghai, and affected by the world economic recession, life for foreign companies in Shanghai is also difficult. The commission can still be
Talk a little lower.
Now it's safe. Both parties find a big bank as a guarantee. This is actually the payment method of letter of credit in later generations. The money is first transferred to the bank and guaranteed by the bank. The seller first transports the goods to the designated port. The bank obtains the bill of lading and confirms that it is correct.
, then transfer the money to the seller, give the bill of lading to the buyer, and the buyer picks up the goods and leaves. It’s that simple, but Zhou Wen didn’t expect that there would already be such a safe trade method in this era.
In this case, little Henry does not need to go to the United States in person, and can just leave it to the agent to sign the contract.
Yes, Zhou Wen couldn't be more satisfied with little Henry now. Everything you thought of and didn't expect has been planned for you. This is a professional. Professional things are left to professionals. Zhou Wen immediately established the establishment
A series of tasks such as the company and entrusted agents were all delegated to little Henry. The purchase list was also finalized. All he had to do was transfer all the cashier's checks, US dollars, and pounds in cash into the new company's account.
Zhou Wen made a silent estimate in his mind. Now, adding up the gold bars, US dollars, pounds and the half-million-yuan bank cashier's check hidden in his own space, the value is probably more than 1.6 million yuan, converted into US dollars.
Four hundred thousand dollars. The total budget in Little Henry's plan starts at US$150,000, and this is when all the items purchased are second-hand equipment and cars. Purchasing German arms and equipment from Delman also requires an expenditure of no less than US$100,000.
Later, we still need to build a factory, recruit workers, maintain the production of a workshop in the arsenal, etc. Thinking about it makes Zhou Wen feel headache, even 400,000 US dollars is not worth spending!
I feel sorry for myself, but I still have to spend money that should be spent. Investing in industry is to make more money in the future and accumulate more resources to prepare for the war of resistance. Purchasing equipment is even more important, as they will be mercenaries in the future.
The foundation for the regiment to maintain its strong combat power and gain a great reputation.
Zhou Wen's mercenary group in later generations was used to living in poverty, and could not afford good equipment and weapons. Even Zhou Wen's sniper rifle was equipped with the cheapest Dragunov SVD sniper rifle from the former Soviet Union.
Not to mention advanced night vision devices, drones, Kevlar bulletproof vests and other standard equipment for high-level mercenary groups. The most valuable ones were those communication devices. If there were better weapons and equipment at that time
, maybe the mercenary map will not end in the annihilation of the entire army.
Now in this era, Zhou Wen can no longer endure the plight of his brothers with rudimentary equipment due to poverty, so he must find ways to buy the best and most advanced equipment for the mercenary group. Even the most expensive equipment,
As long as he can better protect himself and destroy the enemy, Zhou Wen must buy it.
