Seeing Wang Xuexin's silence, Sun Erwei thought he was in trouble for the funds to hire technical personnel, so he said: "Wang, if you feel that you cannot pay these fees, we can consider another way!"
"What method?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"That's it!" Sun Erwei took out a document from his arms and said: "We can try to exchange technical personnel's communication methods. As long as you sign this document and agree to work for us... then we can provide it to you for free.
Technical staff.”
After finishing, Sun Erwei added: "Think about it, Wang, five technicians, that's one million US dollars!"
Wang Xuexin smiled and realized that this was the real purpose of Sun Erwei's trip.
Wang Xuexin's guess was correct. Sun Erwei immediately reported the interview process to his superiors after returning to Shanghai. In addition to viscous gasoline, there were also bullet mines, jumping mines, directional mines, etc.
The military was very interested in this, especially directional mines. They immediately imitated several directional mines according to Sun Erwei's statement, and found that this equipment was not only easy to make, but also surprisingly powerful, especially after using high explosives.
It makes people crazy.
"We should dig him over, Wilson!" The superior ordered Sun Erwei: "It's unimaginable that such excellent equipment can be developed under such conditions. He is simply a genius! Such a person should serve us!
"
"No problem!" Sun Erwei replied.
Sun Erwei was very confident in this mission because he believed that the conditions he offered could not be rejected by the other party.
At this time, Sun Erwei confidently said to Wang Xuexin: "You don't need to worry about the disapproval of your superiors. I have already sent someone to communicate with your superiors. But out of respect for you, I think I should talk to you personally."
Sun Erwei did not lie. At this time, another "reporter" had already found the superior of the independent regiment...the brigade commander.
Although Yingjiang had great power in China at this time, he did not have much contact with the Eighth Route Army and was unable to find the headquarters for a while.
But it's almost the same.
Because the brigade commander immediately reported the situation to the headquarters as soon as he heard about it.
The commander and chief of staff were embarrassed upon hearing this.
The production line bought by the foreign devils indeed requires foreign technicians.
The problem is that the Eighth Route Army cannot do without Xiao Dongbei!
The chief of staff asked: "Chief, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
The leader thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I don't think we can change it. Although the technical personnel of the foreign devils are important, we can figure out these production lines ourselves. I don't believe we can't build them with machines!"
The chief of staff said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the foreign devils will tamper with these machines, but we can't understand them, and there will be maintenance problems later. I'm afraid it will affect the whole body..."
"That's not possible!" the chief replied: "Xiaobei Northeast's contribution to our army is not only in terms of equipment, but also has a great impact on strategy and tactics!"
The chief always felt that something was wrong, and he thought that Xiao Dongbei could not be "replaced" like this.
"Let's do this!" the chief of staff hesitated and suggested: "We can seek Xiao Dongbei's opinion before making a decision!"
The chief frowned and was silent for a while, then nodded.
So, when Wang Xuexin and Sun Erwei were talking, the correspondent came up: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, the phone number of the headquarters!"
The regiment headquarters was empty with only a few guards and correspondents staying behind. The others had gone to dig caves in the back mountains to build factories, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were no exception.
Wang Xuexin walked directly into the regiment headquarters and picked up the phone to identify himself.
The chief of staff's voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, the foreign devils want to exchange technical personnel with us, and we want to know what you think!"
It should be said that this is an opportunity for Wang Xuexin.
If it were before, Wang Xuexin would have been afraid of not getting what he wanted... He could use a high-sounding excuse to leave this difficult, dangerous place where even eating was a problem. What's wrong with that?
But now, Wang Xuexin finds that he can no longer leave this land, because here is his roots, his hope and sustenance, and...
Therefore, Wang Xuexin did not hesitate and replied: "Don't worry, Chief of Staff, I can solve this matter!"
"Can you solve it?" the chief of staff said with some disbelief: "I heard that five technicians are needed. The price offered by the foreign devils is one million US dollars. Otherwise, we can buy two less production lines and save money for technology.
Personnel, what do you think?"
"I understand!" Wang Xuexin replied: "I have a way. The technicians will come and there will be a lot of production lines!"
The staff officer on the other end of the phone couldn't help but gasp, and then looked at the chief.
The chief said: "Let him try, maybe it can work!"
The chief of staff nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go ahead and talk to the foreign devils. We will fully support you!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded and hung up the phone.
Part of the reason why Wang Xuexin rejected technicians before was that he was too short of money to afford the money. As for the debt he owed to Sun Erwei... it would not be so easy to bargain in the future. There is no free lunch in the world.
But now that Wang Xuexin has enough funds to hire these technical personnel, he feels that it is still necessary to hire technical personnel.
After all, there are five rifle production lines and one bullet production line.
If you need to do everything yourself, such as repairs, operations, maintenance, etc., each of these is not a small problem and requires a team.
Although I can purchase technology from the system to complete these tasks, I will only do these things in the production line and train personnel.
It's not as cost-effective as hiring a few technicians, and you don't have to go through all the trouble of making excuses.
So, when Wang Xuexin returned to the dormitory, he said confidently: "Two options, Sun Erwei. One is that we buy these technicians..."
"No!" Sun Erwei smiled and shook his head: "You don't have enough funds!"
"We have!" Wang Xuexin replied: "You know, there are many overseas patriotic Chinese who will donate money to our domestic war of resistance. These donations have been intercepted by the stubborn army before, and we can't get a penny. But now..."
Wang Xuexin raised the passbook in his hand and said: "We have our own account, and we have to thank you for this! So, we may not be able to pay now, but when the equipment and technicians get here, I believe we will have enough funds."
Got it!"
Sun Erwei's expression changed, he did not expect this.
What Sun Erwei didn't know was that Wang Xuexin was confident solely because he could interpret the U.S. dollars exchanged by the system as donations from overseas Chinese.
"So!" Sun Erwei asked with a very ugly face: "What's the other option?"
"We cooperate!" Wang Xuexin replied: "You send technicians to work for us, and I... provide you with reasonable suggestions to ensure value for money!"
