Gou Saiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Sir Yan, Commander Liu is currently leading the army to be stationed in Guangyuan, and our Ross Group Company plans to establish a military factory in Sichuan, so it doesn't matter if Commander Liu listens."
This can be regarded as Miss Gou helping Liu Tuanzuo, who was kicked out by Comrade Lao Yan, to live.
After hearing this, the Shanxi old man naturally would not fail to give face to Miss Gou, who had been upgraded to the spokesperson of the American Ross Group. He took a deep look at Liu Lang and said nothing more.
It's not that Gou Saiyu's words for Liu Lang will make the old man from Shanxi pay much attention to it. The little foreign girl Laura, the heir to the Ross Group, and Fatty Liu have a little nastiness about the love between boys and girls. How can they escape the New Year's Eve?
With the eyes of an old Shanxi man who knows everything about the world, it is normal for people from the Ross Group to help a certain fat man with a skinny face speak for him.
However, there was one word that once again aroused the sensitive nerves of the Shanxi old man.
Sichuan, Sichuan again. Huashang Group has its headquarters in Sichuan, and now Ross Group has also set its headquarters in Sichuan. Is Sichuan, a land tightly surrounded by mountains, really so attractive?
"Assistant Gou, can the old man ask why your group chose Sichuan, which has inconvenient transportation, instead of the more affluent Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas? In other words, the old man is in a corner of Shanxi, but the situation is still stable. Although it is not rich, it is
If your group is willing to settle here, the old man will fully support it." The Shanxi old man raised his eyebrows and asked directly.
As the king of Shanxi, the old Shanxi man digs corners in front of others without any psychological burden.
Liu Lang did not interrupt. Of course he would not say at this time that in the past, most of China had fallen. If it were not for the high mountains and ridges of Sichuan to withstand the Japanese invaders, the entire Chinese nation would have a chance to breathe and withdraw.
China in the southwest has re-gained its strength to continue fighting the Japanese invaders. China really doesn't know whether it can drag the two million elite Japs into the quagmire of China for eight years.
Sichuan, throughout the total war, was the last barrier for the Chinese nation. Of course, that refers to geography. What really allowed the Chinese nation to win the Great Patriotic War was the unyielding heart of all Chinese people. No matter who was attacked,
The Japanese invaders occupied the north, which was constantly resisting, or Hunan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, which were fighting fiercely with the Japanese invaders in the flames of war...
The great Chinese nation has never surrendered.
"Mr. Yan, I am just a newcomer to the Ross Group. How dare I interfere in the strategy set by the group? In business, let's talk about the acquisition of the machinery factory in your province first! I don't know what the price is, Chief Yan.
?" Gou Saiyu's eyes passed over Liu Lang, who was sitting silently drinking tea as if he hadn't heard anything, but he took the initiative to change the topic with a sweet smile.
Sure enough, it was this little fox who was taking the lead again. But the Shanxi old man took all this in his eyes, but there was no strange expression on his face. He laughed and said: "Haha, okay, Miss Gou is indeed a hero among women.
Then let's talk business and talk about other things. Our Shanxi Machinery Factory has been developing for more than 20 years. At its peak, the number of workers in one factory alone exceeded 10,000. Even after a slight decline, the number of workers now exceeds 6,000. They can make all kinds of long and short guns.
As well as light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars and our Jinshan cannon, even as long as I give me Shanxi Machinery Factory high-quality gun steel, 150 heavy artillery is not impossible. What do you think, how much is such a factory worth? "
Although the Shanxi old man's self-introduction was 70% true and 30% false, it was a bit bragging, but it was still to the point. Except for the heavy artillery, which was difficult for him to build, in other respects, the Shanxi Arsenal really had that kind of strength. It was definitely the best in the country.
Top three level.
In fact, he had built space-time heavy cannons in the past, but due to quality problems with the barrels, he had to give up after building two.
The smile on Gou Saiyu's face did not change, and she did not pick up the fight, just waiting for the old man from Shanxi to bid. After more than a year of experience, she was no longer just the powerful country girl, nor was she the person who was thrown into chaos when Liu Tuanzuo set up a formation.
Being led by the nose to a female man, she has already learned not to reveal her trump card easily in business negotiations.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. This is what Miss Gou is using now.
Of course, this was because she had already learned from Liu Lang that the old Shanxi man was thinking of selling the arsenal. Otherwise, how could the king of Shanxi Province be so easy to get along with?
However, both she and Liu Lang underestimated the king of Shanxi.
Seeing that Gou Saiyu did not respond, the Shanxi old man smiled faintly: "When the Japanese invaders are about to invade our country and our country of China is in danger, old man, I wanted to donate the arsenal to the country and do my part as a Shanxi father for our Chinese nation, but
But the Chairman accepted the offer and declined. Old man, I feel so sad!"
Liu Lang's eyes suddenly widened.
Shameless! Shameless! What does it mean to tell lies with open eyes? What does it mean to be a politician? This is it. Liu Lang has opened his eyes.
Obviously, even though the Shanxi old man spoke so impassionedly, he was all paving the way for what he was going to say in the next step.
"For the sake of our country and the nation, it is okay for me to do anything, but the chairman of the committee does not understand my loyalty, but I must have a clear conscience. The machinery factory is the result of twenty years of hard work of the Shanxi folks and the materials sold.
The old man will also give back to the Shanxi elders. Miss Gou, how about 150 million in cash?" The Shanxi old man continued his impassioned speech, and then made an even more generous offer.
MMB, old fox. Liu Lang almost stuffed his face into the teacup. If it weren't for his face being too big.
Don't be afraid to treat the Ross Group as the main enemy. 150 million cash in foreign currency, equivalent to nearly 50 million U.S. dollars. With this money, the Ross Group can completely build a new arsenal in the United States.
Miss Gou also didn't speak for a long time. She was sure that if the old man opposite was not the King of Shanxi, even if he was Liu Tuanzuo, she would have smashed the tea cup next to him on the head the moment he made the bid.
What kind of business negotiation is this? It’s completely blackmail, Chi Guoguo’s blackmail!
What is the concept of 150 million yuan in foreign currency? Miss Gou, who has been working as the general manager of a branch of Huashang Group for more than a year, is quite familiar with China's capital market today. China's financial center is Shanghai, and Shanghai's annual tax revenue is the largest in the country.
The main lifeline of economic income. That's it. All Chinese and foreign banks, large and small, in Shanghai put together, the total amount of reserve funds stored is only more than 500 million in cash.
This guy is so good, he almost took away almost one-third of the cash stored in bank vaults in Shanghai with just one mouthful. There is no better way to rob a bank than this!
Fortunately, Miss Gou is no longer the country rich man she used to be. After a brief moment of astonishment, her face returned to normal and she said calmly: "Since Chief Yan has made an offer, although the price is still open to discussion, why don't you listen to what the Ross Group is doing in the acquisition?"
How will the arsenal help Commander Yan’s Shanxi defense team after that?”
"Please say."
"The establishment of a military-industrial conglomerate in China by the Ross Group has been approved by the U.S. government, and a note has been sent to your government through the embassy. After acquiring the arsenal and moving it to Sichuan, it will hire high-paying engineers and various precision machine tools from the Springfield arsenal. It is expected that it will take nearly a year to upgrade the equipment and train personnel in the factory. By this time one year from now, the arsenal of our group in China will be fully put into use, and all the raw materials required will be imported from my country. The various weapons produced by the group will be provided to all Chinese armies. Our group is willing to give priority to the Jinsui Army in your province. For example, our group has made a plan to build ten regiments with a total of 240 150-meter howitzers. Five regiments Provided to the Central Army, there are five regiments..."
Since you can ask for huge amounts of money, of course you can repay the money on the spot. Gou Saiyu's way of "repaying the money" is a very novel and different way.
Bait, also see bait.
Five regiments of 120 150mm heavy howitzers can make all army commanders in this era drool.
You know, the old Shanxi man has been running Shanxi for 20 years and has a special liking for cannons. With the support of the top three arsenals in the country that have mastered the technology of imitating Japanese 41-type mountain cannons, he has only managed to save more than 300 guns.
Just a mountain cannon.
And these more than 300 mountain artillery pieces also played a great role in the future Battle of Xinkou, blowing away the Japanese invaders who boasted that their artillery could crush China. Although they still lost in the end, that explosion
The largest mountain artillery battle between China and Japan in northwest China will definitely be engraved in the annals of Chinese history.
"We, the Shanxi-Sui Army, want the heavy howitzers from these five regiments." The Shanxi old man swallowed the bait without hesitation.
As for whether the Chinese government would allow a foreign company to establish a military industrial conglomerate in China, and whether the Ross Group could complete the upgrade of equipment and technology at the arsenal and put it into production within one year, the old man from Shanxi didn't give a damn.
Go ask.
Because it would be too retarded to ask.
Facing the increasingly greedy face of the Japanese, what China needs most now is time, and arms. Dozens of German weapon divisions being reorganized need to import a large amount of arms from the Third Reich, but procurement will take time.
, transportation takes time, and time is getting tighter and tighter. At this time, if a foreign company invests in military industry in China, it will be too late for the government to welcome it, so will it reject it?
And with the Ross Group's financial resources and influence in American politics, how difficult would it be to upgrade the arsenal to produce a 150-meter heavy artillery piece? They said they could produce fighter jets, and even the old man in Shanxi believed it.
"Of course there is no problem. We can even write this clause into the acquisition contract. The first batch of 120 150 heavy artillery produced by the arsenal of the Ross Group China Branch will be delivered to the Jinsui Army. The delivery time is December 1936. Overdue fines will be imposed
." Miss Gou said with a smile. "But before that, both of us must first reach a consensus on the acquisition of Shanxi Machinery Factory!"
...
Okay, the circle has come around again. I mean, if you always tell me the real price, don’t open your mouth like a lion, five heavy artillery regiments!
This must have been taught by a certain little fox. The old Shanxi man glared at Liu Tuanzuo, who was drinking tea and not talking and looked innocent.

PS: Today is the anniversary of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake. Ten years ago today, I became a father at the beginning of the month. When the earth was shaking, I saw the scenes on TV of the tragic situation of the Sichuan compatriots, especially the collapse of kindergartens, the collapse of primary schools, and the ruins of middle schools.
The scene made me burst into tears. Due to work and family commitments, I was unable to go to Sichuan as a volunteer to do my best for my fellow Sichuan compatriots. It was truly a regret in my life. Today, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, but I still cannot forget the romance.
On this special day, I pray silently for my Chinese Sichuan. He has passed away, and I hope that the living people can have a better life.
This is commemorated on the day of the Sichuan earthquake ten years later.
