The happy Shanxi old man hurriedly ordered the five girls to check the price of the 24 Third Reich SFH18-150 howitzers that the bald man imported last year, and his eyes widened.
He also finally understood why the bald man only imported 24 150-meter howitzers, which are known as the most important weapons in the country. It was because they were too expensive.
The price of each cannon, including a tractor, ammunition cart and 1,000 rounds of artillery shells, is as high as 800,000 French currency. According to the current one-to-one exchange ratio between ocean and French currency, it is 800,000 French currency.
The price of 24 howitzers is close to 20 million Guangyang, which is almost one-third of the price of his precious arsenal. For this price, he still gritted his teeth and asked for more. If we really talk about the actual price, it is 40 million Guangyang.
It's already reaching the sky.
Thinking about the 120 heavy artillery pieces he wanted, which did not include the 75mm anti-aircraft guns, the old Shanxi man felt his head was spinning. After waiting for a long time, his Shanxi arsenal sold it at such a good price, but he couldn't even pay the price.
The money to buy the howitzer is not enough, you still have to pay for it.
Thinking again about the boss who only managed to accumulate tens of millions of dollars after operating in Shanxi for nearly 20 years, the shrewd Shanxi old man felt that if he bought these heavy artillery, he would probably have to eat dirt in the future.
Even when he made some calculations, he was surprised to find that the price of selling the arsenal plus the money accumulated over the years was just enough to pay for the one hundred and twenty heavy cannons.
Could it be said that Liu Lang calculated it deliberately? Otherwise, why is it not 60 or 200, but exactly 120? The old Shanxi man couldn't help but look at Liu Lang suspiciously.
Smart, absolutely smart. Liu Lang couldn't help but admire the sensitivity of this old Shanxi man. He may not be a good military strategist, but he is definitely a qualified politician and a shrewd businessman.
That's right, Liu Lang estimated Shanxi's financial resources to provide this man with bait. If it was too high, he would scare him away, but if it was too low, he wouldn't be able to spend enough money. 120 heavy artillery is the most appropriate number.
"Mr. Yan, there is no need to worry about the high price of howitzers. Those guys in the Third Reich treat China like a sheep and try their best to raise the price, just to deceive our country into not being able to manufacture heavy artillery by itself. But the Ross Group is here to enhance the friendship between the people of China and the United States.
, after budgeting, if all heavy artillery is manufactured in China, and only trucks are imported from the United States, the cost can be reduced by nearly 60%. In addition, the sale of the arsenal to Yan Changguan reduced the Ross Group's expenditure, so the Ross Group decided that this
The price of the batch of heavy artillery will be half that of the Third Reich. The price of the 75mm anti-aircraft gun as the attached anti-aircraft gun is also half cheaper than that of the same type in the Third Reich. The price will never exceed 50,000 for the same unit. In this case, 120
The total price of the heavy artillery plus the tractor, ammunition cart and associated artillery shells is 48 million silver dollars. The 120 75mm caliber anti-aircraft guns cost 6 million silver dollars. Including freight and related training fees, maintenance parts and other supplies, the total price is about 58 million silver dollars. I don’t know.
Is Commander Yan satisfied with this price?"
Hearing what Gou Saiyu said, the old Shanxi man who was full of suspicion just now couldn't help but laugh.
Compared with the batch of 150 heavy artillery imported by the bald man from the Third Reich, the price mentioned by Gou Saiyu was naturally extremely favorable. To be precise, the price was so great that the Shanxi old man could not refuse it.
But what made him laugh was that he underestimated the little fox Liu Lang after all. In fact, no matter what price he said, his arsenal would never be named Yan again. As for the surname, I'm afraid, this little fox can
It accounts for quite a few of them.
The old man from Shanxi is no longer upset that he just cut the price too harshly. He already knows through other people's initiative to reduce the price of heavy artillery. No matter he says 80 million Guangyang or 100 million Guangyang, the final result will be the same, and the United States will use this.
120 heavy artillery came to trade with him. The higher his price, the higher the price of his heavy artillery. Because the real purchase price is there. As long as he does not exceed 120 million Guangyang, the final outcome will be that the arsenal will be moved away.
, he obtained 120 heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns.
Now, they have left him 2 million Guangyang in cash, which is the result of him taking the initiative to lower the price. Otherwise, the Shanxi old man is sure that he only needs 100 million to be killed by a lion, and he might not be able to quote 150 million.
Even if the arsenal was gone, he would still pay another 50 million.
Of course, he can not buy these heavy artillery but only need cash, but the problem is, under the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese invaders and Chen Bing in the three northeastern provinces, does he dare not to sell? Or rather, dare not to buy? No matter how you weigh it, it can be guaranteed
Ten dangerous heavy artillery regiments in Shanxi Province are more cost-effective than one military factory.
Besides, what is sold is just a general factory. The Shanxi Arsenal is not so much a factory as a military industrial group. There are more than a dozen factories of various sizes around Taiyuan City! It is possible that the cannons cannot be made, but some can be made.
Light weapons, bullets and grenades, or repairing mountain cannons are no problem. At least they can fully meet his needs in Shanxi.
Shanxi already has enough mountain cannons made by the Jin Dynasty. In the past ten years, Shanxi has produced more than a thousand cannons. Some of them were sold to various places to earn silver and used as military supplies. Some of them were lost due to the war in the Central Plains. Now there are still 300 cannons equipped with 9 mountain cannons.
regiment, and hundreds of gates were sealed as reserves.
Under such a situation, the largest military factory is as important to the old man in Shanxi as it was countless years ago. Otherwise, he would not have the idea of selling the military factory to the bald man because of frequent surveillance.
.
It can be said that from the moment he decided to meet Miss Gou, he had fallen into the plot of Liu Lang, the little fox.
Liu Lang, a little fox, is just a talented soldier in his twenties, who is completely comparable to him, an old man who has been involved in the political arena for decades.
"Hey, it's a good calculation. The Ross Group is indeed a financial consortium in the United States. Assistant Gou, are there any other conditions for leaving this 2 million Guangyang to the old man!" The Shanxi old man quickly figured it out.
Knowing the reason, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Now that Chief Yan has made it clear, Mingren will not tell secrets. Since the Ross Group has decided to sell these heavy artillery without making any profit or even at a loss, it also hopes that part of the cash payment of 60 million silver can be postponed, and the heavy artillery will be used to offset it in the future. In the early stage, the Ross Group
We will pay 20 million silver in cash to Shanxi, but 2 million in silver will be used for factory relocation and the resettlement of more than 7,000 workers and their families in Sichuan." Gou Saiyu said confidently.
"Good guys, let me ask you why you were so kind and left 2 million Guangyang for this old man! It took me a long time to come up with the idea." The old man from Shanxi squinted at a fat man who had been drinking tea and almost drank all the tea, and hummed.
He said, "That's it. However, if I don't see 120 heavy artillery pieces before the end of December next year, don't blame me, Lao Yan, for turning his back on me."
"If not, 3,000 people from our independent regiment will go to the front line in Shanxi to be driven by Commander Yan." Liu Lang gently put down the tea cup and gave the old Shanxi man the final reassurance.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Liu Lang Independent Regiment is no less useful than the five heavy artillery regiments. Besides, 20 million silver is the bottom line for the Shanxi old man, and Gou Saiyu's conditions are just right.
"How much benefit did you, Captain Liu, receive from the Ross Group?" The Shanxi old man stamped his seal on the contract, raised his head and pointed at Liu Lang with his finger, indicating what he was saying.
"Hey, Liu Lang is willing to serve Commander Yan and the people of Shanxi, so what are the benefits?" Liu Lang said with a righteous expression.
"You...Fifth sister, see the guests off." The old man from Shanxi almost choked to death due to Fatty Liu's move. To be honest, my mother's legs would die? He immediately greeted people angrily.
see a visitor out.
As for Gou Saiyu on the side, the Shanxi old man had another look on his face, "Now that the business has been concluded, how about the old man hosting a banquet for Miss Gou?"
"Thank you, Chief Yan, for your kindness. Liu Langshang wants to discuss with Miss Gou the relocation of the factory to our Sichuan province, rent taxation and other matters, so I won't disturb Chief Yan. I'll take my leave." Liu Lang hurriedly extended the "hot" invitation of this old man from Shanxi to Gou Saiyu.
I declined.
If you don't refuse, it will be a pit of fire.
Liu Lang knew a thing or two about the romantic affairs of this group of celebrities in the Republic of China. Not to mention Xu Zhimo, Yu Dafu and this group of romantic talents had so many confidantes that they became a hotly discussed topic in the future. Let’s just talk about these big guys in the political arena.
They, secretly, are no less women than those talented men and women, and even have much more women.
The Chinese people all know that Mr. Ha'er has more than 40 beauties and beauties, but who knows how many women there are in the official residence of this unassuming old man from Shanxi? According to unofficial history, Mr. Ha'er who is married to a matchmaker is not as fond of Mr. Ha'er as his concubines.
Want less.
How could Liu Lang let the beautiful Miss Gou jump into this pit of fire? Although he felt that he was not a good husband, and he would steal glances at Miss Gou's long legs from time to time, he was definitely much safer than the old man from Shanxi.
After the two of them left the official residence of the Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government, before Sun Feng and others could follow, Miss Gou looked back at the tall gatehouse of the Shanxi old man, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and asked: "Captain Liu.
Are you trying to pull me away in a hurry, are you afraid that I will suffer a loss from Commander Yan?"
"Absolutely not." Liu Lang shook his head like a rattle.
"Then if someone else invites me to have dinner alone, I will definitely agree. What do you say, Captain Liu?" The beauty, who is nearly thirty years old, has eyes full of autumn water.
"Then I will definitely follow you to have a meal." Liu Lang was determined.
...
Liu Tuanzuo, who had already developed a certain immunity to female gangsters, now felt very smart about himself.
But he was still wrong. Once a creature like a woman is let go, it is not something that a man can resist if he wants to.
"Okay! Welcome to have a meal. A banquet has been prepared at the most famous Mianyue Tower in Taiyuan City."
"Um, who's treating me?"
"The person who invited me to dinner happens to be away, but the banquet is here." Miss Gou's lips curved into a slight smile.
...
You're a bitch, what can you say to get away with something? Liu Tuanzuo had the urge to slap himself in the mouth.
He was not afraid of having a meal, but he was afraid of a candlelight dinner with a man and a woman alone! Especially when he saw Sun, who was standing only ten meters away from them, looking up at the sky together, unable to wait for anyone.
Lieutenant Colonel Ji seems to be very unhappy lately.
