"Eighty million Guangyang." The old man from Shanxi trembled his cheeks, looking like he was selling blood for a grand show.
If Liu Lang hadn't known that this old Shanxi man who once shouted out a low price of 20 million silver to a bald man in time and space, he would definitely have been deceived by this Shanxi old man who was a politician and businessman.
His acting skills are superb, and he has the potential to compete for a statuette at the Oscars.
Gou Saiyu, however, lowered his eyebrows and stared at the smoke rising from the hot tea in his hand, and did not answer anything.
Obviously, this price seems to have been cut in half, but it still does not show enough sincerity.
After the Shanxi old man finished talking about the price, he glanced at Liu Lang, who had been drinking tea and not interrupting, and Gou Saiyu, who seemed dissatisfied with the price, and sat down on the Taishi chair without saying anything.
The study room suddenly became colder, and the atmosphere seemed a little solid.
Obviously, without seeing any substantive commitment, the Shanxi old man had no intention of giving in.
Also, the one who can make him shout out the low price of 20 million is the number one bald man in the country. The two young men and women in front of him, although one is Liu Xiang's nephew and the colonel leader of the best regiment in the world, and the other is
An agent from the United States of America consortium on the other side of the ocean, but compared with him, the king of Shanxi who has dominated a province for twenty years, he is still far behind.
This is not only a business negotiation issue, but also a face issue.
"Sir Yan, Ross Group and Huashang Group have close cooperation on sulfonamide drugs, and they also know China relatively well. The reason why they invest in military enterprises in China is that the market is profitable, and the second reason is to adapt to the market.
The current development of the global situation. The cloud of war is not only in China. As some countries continue to develop their armaments, the situation among countries around the world is not stable. The United States and China, two countries, one in China and one in the West, can compete in many aspects.
Cooperation, so we are very sincere and attach great importance to the acquisition of Shanxi Arsenal. Before Saiyu arrived, the general manager of the Ross Group China Branch, who had already set off, gave me a list. If Chief Yan has any concerns,
You can look at this list before talking." Gou Saiyu is very smart and knows what kind of chips to throw out at what time.
"In view of the fact that Chairman Chiang ordered 24 SFH18-150mm howitzers from Germany last year, we are also preparing to produce similar heavy artillery. Regarding its performance, Commander Yan, please rest assured that the manufacturing and design of the US military industry will definitely not be inferior to that of Germany.
The range will reach 14,000 kilometers. In order to eliminate Chief Yan’s concerns, Ross Group has applied to the US government and will ship a batch of samples to China in the near future. Some of them will be used for inspection by the military directly under the Chinese government, and the other part will be shipped to Shanxi.
It is two 150mm howitzers and two 75mm medium anti-aircraft guns, as well as four trucks with a load of 5 tons, 100 rounds of 150mm heavy howitzer shells, and 100 rounds of 75mm anti-aircraft gun shells." Gou Saiyu took out his small bag.
The list was handed to the old Shanxi man sitting behind the desk for review, while talking.
“The 120 heavy artillery pieces that Ross Group intends to sell to Shanxi will also be based on this, with a 150-meter heavy artillery and a 75-meter anti-aircraft gun, each equipped with 500 rounds of artillery shells, a 5-ton tractor truck and a 5-ton ammunition truck.
"
The old Shanxi man looked at the list in his hand. In addition to the specifications and performance of the 150 howitzer, as Gou Saiyu said just now, the Ross Group had thought carefully about all the supporting equipment. And the reason why it was equipped with anti-aircraft guns,
The old Shanxi man knew very well that this was not because the Ross Group was trying to sell something. Rather, the heavy artillery force had always been the focus of the enemy's attacks, and they basically focused on air strikes. However, China's air force was weak and far behind the Japanese.
If the distance is too far, then anti-aircraft guns can only be used to make up for the lack of air power. It is also a good idea to have an anti-aircraft gun group surrounding a heavy artillery group for anti-air protection.
It can be seen from this that the Ross Group is determined to go big in China and sell arms with all its strength. It has even shipped samples thousands of miles away before even acquiring the arms factory.
I have to say that this bait is very sweet. The power of 120 heavy guns and 120 anti-aircraft guns is even more powerful than the 300 mountain guns that the Shanxi old man currently has in the 300,000 Jinsui Army. In other words, as long as you have these, the number of cannons will already increase.
The artillery strength of the Jinsui Army, which far exceeds that of other warlords in the country, will be doubled or even more.
At that time, looking at the whole country, not to mention the domestic armies, even the Japanese 200,000 elite Kwantung Army wanted to attack his Shanxi. He also had the confidence to use artillery shells to let them know that his Shanxi was definitely not something they could come to if they wanted to. Shanxi,
Shanxi will always be his, Yan Laoxi's, and no one else's.
These are warlords. All national interests and national interests are nonsense in front of them. The most important thing in their eyes is always their own interests. Shanxi is not only China's Shanxi, but also his Shanxi.
However, this is much better than those people who sell their land for peace and are willing to be beaten by bandits for the sake of their own prosperity, wealth and life. Liu Lang actually doesn't have much ill feelings toward warlords like the Shanxi old man, no matter what they do
For whatever selfish reasons, they ultimately contributed a lot to China’s Patriotic War.
Liu Lang knew that there were many weak Chinese people, but throughout the history of the Republic of China, after the outbreak of all-out war, there were no warlords of all sizes in the country, from Shanxi old man to Liu Xiang to Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong.
A warlord defected to the Japanese. This is definitely the strangest thing in the long history of China.
According to the rules of the Manchu period, one of the darkest eras in China, whether it is the central government or the local government, after being severely beaten, they can only ask for peace and compensation, cede land, and obediently ask for money and people.
.
However, in the middle and late period of the Republic of China, after the Sino-Japanese all-out war broke out, none of the major forces entrenched in various places in China surrendered. They fought the Japanese invaders for eight years, and finally dragged the Japanese into the quagmire of the war.
This is probably related to the fact that the bald man shot Han Fuqu to death at the beginning of the war. Another thing is that the Japanese are too stupid. The Nanjing Massacre made all the warlords aware of it. I am afraid that even if they surrender, they will not have a good life.
, it is better to fight to the death with the Japanese.
"Okay, for the sincerity of your Ross Group, 60 million Guangyang, OK, Shanxi Machinery Factory will move to Sichuan immediately after you pay the money. If you still feel that it is not possible, I can only send you off with a solemn hand.
That’s it.” The old man from Shanxi slapped the table and said.
"Ahem." Before Gou Saiyu could speak, Liu Lang coughed twice at an inappropriate time.
The Shanxi old man glared angrily at the guy he thought was hiding behind the scenes and gesticulating. If he could, he would kick this fat guy out right now. Old man, I've already lowered the price to 60 million, what else can you come up with?
What a moth?
"My throat is a little itchy, keep going, keep going." Liu Lang shrank his neck, looking very guilty.
The Shanxi old man withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked at Gou Saiyu, "How is it? Old man, I am already very sincere."
"Okay. Then follow what Chief Yan said." Gou Saiyu nodded without hesitation.
...
The old Shanxi man was embarrassed.
Gou Saiyu agreed so readily, and reminded of Fatty Liu's cough earlier. The shrewd Shanxi old man couldn't help but feel that he had been fooled.
You know, even though the old Shanxi man said so decisively, he actually left at least 10 to 20 million room for change. His bottom line was originally 45 million Guangyang.
It's like a woman going shopping. The boss has offered her 100 yuan, but if the customer really slaps her butt and leaves, 80 yuan is actually acceptable.
However, this woman from Te Niang actually agreed without counter-offering. It would have been a happy thing to earn an extra fifteen hundred dollars, but it was hard for the shrewd Shanxi old man to be happy. Now he felt that as long as he
If you persist a little longer, 80 million might be possible.
That's right, what the old Shanxi man thought was absolutely right. Let alone 80 million Guangyang, Liu Lang would accept it even if he offered him 100 million Guangyang.
Because his purpose has never been to make more money, but to move this large arsenal and not take advantage of the Japanese.
This is something that the old Shanxi man who only cares about his own interests cannot understand. Maybe he will never understand it.
Therefore, after seeing the Shanxi old man being tempted by the bait to lower the price again, Liu Tuanzuo quickly coughed to remind a certain beauty who was really engaged in business negotiations to stop bargaining and hurry up before she woke up.
, bought it for 60 million.
Regardless of whether the shrewd Shanxi old man secretly swallowed a mouthful of aggrieved old blood, it is basically impossible to change the water spilled by these words. No matter how much the Shanxi king wants to be a rogue, he can't beat himself up now.
Face said: No, I think 80 million is more reliable.
When Wu Meizi brought a pen and paper and the two parties were preparing to draft a contract of intent, the Shanxi old man realized why he agreed so readily to the 60 million Guangyang.
He just thought that the power of ten heavy artillery regiments would be great, but he didn't expect the price. It was really great!
