To Xu Rui's disappointment, Stilwell also spread his hands and said: "Mister Xu, I'm sorry to tell you that the US government may not be able to help you. I have told you before that the current situation in the United States is
Troubled by isolationism, actions such as aiding China's heavy chemical industry equipment, which will obviously offend the Japanese government, may be difficult to obtain approval from Congress, and without Congressional approval, I'm afraid no business will dare to sell equipment to you."
Xu Rui said angrily: "It's just a complete set of equipment for a small chemical plant, and it is also a coal chemical equipment that is about to be sold out. It also needs the approval of the US Congress? General Stilwell, this is so uninteresting, do you really think I am
If you don’t understand your American laws, do you still think that I, Xu Rui, is easy to fool?”
After saying that, Xu Rui turned to Xu Ye and said: "Xu Ye, please remove the melon slices tea. This is the top quality melon slices for ten dollars a tael. It is really useless to give them a drink. Also, go and order the kitchen."
Let me tell you, starting from today, the food standard for Minister Cherev and General Stilwell will be lowered by three levels, from VIP level to official standard."
Xu Rui said this deliberately to Cherev and the others. He said it in English, so naturally Xu Ye couldn't understand it.
As a result, Xu Ye also said a semi-English sentence: "Oh special? Commander, you said Oh special? I don't understand."
Cherev and Stilwell were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but when they came to their senses, they looked at each other and laughed.
Cherev laughed and said, "Joseph, you'd better stop teasing Commander Xu, otherwise he might get angry and drive us out of Damei Mountain, and we would have to sleep in the wilderness."
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "It's not like I can't do this kind of thing."
"Oh God, there's really nothing we can do about you." Stilwell shrugged, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said seriously, "Actually, it's like this, before we left for Damei Mountain, we had already heard about you.
Dameishan is vigorously developing industry, so Cherev and I have already discussed that we will give you a pharmaceutical factory plus a complete set of equipment for a chemical factory. Moreover, this is not a small factory, but a medium and large factory with sufficient production capacity.
It can meet the needs of several armies!"
"What? You want to give me a medium-sized pharmaceutical factory and a medium-sized chemical factory?" Xu Rui was stunned and said, "Did I hear you right? Are you serious?"
"McGaud." Stilwell slapped his forehead upon hearing this, and quickly shook his head to remedy the situation, "I made a mistake just now. The entire equipment of this medium-sized pharmaceutical factory and a medium-sized chemical factory was not given to you for free, because the equipment
It is not owned by the two of us, but by a British foreign company, and we can only be responsible for the matchmaking."
Xu Rui said: "So it's British equipment?"
Cherev said: "It's like this. This foreign company is the Far East Foreign Bank founded by Sir Edwards. Sir Edwards is very optimistic about the Eastern market, so he spent money to buy a complete set of equipment from the West and plans to invest in Shanghai and set up a pharmaceutical company.
There was a chemical plant outside the factory, but as soon as its equipment was unloaded, the Battle of Songhu broke out."
Stilwell continued: "Now that the Japanese army has controlled the entire East China, and most of Shanghai has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and the relationship between the Japanese government and the British government is becoming increasingly tense, it is completely impossible for the Far Eastern Corporation to establish pharmaceutical and chemical plants in Shanghai.
It is unprofitable and this batch of equipment becomes a problem."
Cherev went on to say: "Because it requires high freight to transport this batch of equipment back to the UK, and that batch of chemical equipment is still coal chemical equipment that is about to be sold out, it cannot be sold even if it is shipped back to the UK, and we can only make a loss."
Money, so Sir Edwards used various connections to sell these equipment at low prices."
"So that's it." Xu Rui said with great joy, "This is really a blessing from God."
Stilwell then said: "But don't be too happy. Now the whole of East China has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. Even if you buy this batch of equipment at a low price, it will not be easy to transport it back to Dameishan."
Xu Rui asked tentatively: "Can I borrow the American and British Tobacco Company's merchant ship?"
"Don't count on this." Stilwell said, "I'm afraid you don't know that just a few days ago, the Japanese army in Nanjing bombarded the British destroyer HMS Queen, and also forcibly stopped a British merchant ship near Xiaguan, and forcibly
Boarding the ship for inspection, now the Japanese government cares less and less about the face of the British Empire."
Xu Rui couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. There seemed to be such an incident in history.
Things are going to get tricky now. If Japan doesn't even give the British face, then it's really not easy to transport this batch of pharmaceutical and chemical plant equipment back to Dameishan. At least it's impossible to transport it back in one go.
It's impossible. If we use ant moving transportation, it will take a long time. It will take until the Year of the Monkey to wait for the completion of the pharmaceutical factory and chemical factory. Secondly, the risk is actually very high, and the longer it is delayed, the possibility of being destroyed by Little Japan.
The greater the sex.
Stilwell took a sip of Guapian tea and said: "In short, we can help you with the matchmaking. We can even accompany you to Shanghai to help you lower the price. However, how to transport the equipment back after buying it, we can't help.
, I’m afraid you have to think about it yourself.”
Cherev said: "You'd better think about it carefully, should you buy this batch of equipment or not?"
"Buy, you have to buy this!" Xu Rui said decisively, "Even if you can't bring it back, you still have to buy it!"
"Okay, then we will send a telegram to the Far Eastern Ocean Bank in Shanghai." Cherev nodded and said, "The rest is for you to confirm the itinerary in detail. When you confirm the itinerary, we will accompany you to Shanghai."
"Okay, thank you both." Xu Rui quickly thanked you.
(Dividing line)
Until he returned home, Xu Rui was still thinking about transporting equipment.
Sai Hongfu personally cooked and made a sumptuous dinner with Xiao Taohong. However, Xu Rui ate heartlessly, which annoyed Sai Hongfu. I spent an entire afternoon cooking it.
It is unreasonable to have such a sumptuous meal, but the person named Xu tasted nothing.
Sai Hong said angrily: "Xiao Taohong, take this pot of braised pork out and give it to the Second Emperor!"
"Ah? Give it to the Second Emperor?" Xiao Taohong said with some heartache, "It's such a waste, my uncle didn't even take a few bites."
"It's really a waste to give it to someone." Sai Hongfu gave Xu Rui a hard look and said, "Eat it to the Second Emperor. The Second Emperor can at least wag his tail to show his gratitude."
"Ah, you are angry with me." Xu Rui finally realized what he was doing, stood up quickly, put his hands behind his back like a tail, shook his head and said with a smile, "Madam, don't be angry, don't be angry, Mr.
I’ll wag my tail for you.”
When Xiao Taohong saw her, her big watery eyes immediately turned into crescent moon smiles, and Sai Hongfu couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that Sai Hongfu's anger turned into joy, Xu Rui let go of his worries and ate as much as he wanted, while praising Sai Hongfu's cooking skills. But then again, Sai Hongfu's cooking skills are indeed good.
Not to mention, the braised pork alone is almost on par with the chefs of later generations.
Seeing that Xu Rui was eating well, Xiao Taohong put the braised pork that Sai Hongfu put into her bowl and put it into Xu Rui's bowl. Xu Rui put the meat back into Xiao Taohong's bowl, and Xiao Taohong put the meat into her bowl.
When he went to Xu Rui's bowl and saw the two people being humble to each other, Sai Hongfu couldn't help but jokingly said: "Hey, are you treating each other like guests?"
Xiao Taohong immediately lowered her head, and Baozi's face turned crimson.
When Xu Rui heard this, he smiled and put the meat into the red whisk bowl.
"You want to kill me, knowing that I can't smell meat now." Sai Hongfu couldn't help but glance at Xu Rui, but his heart was filled with sweetness, and his beautiful eyes were full of smiles.
, then picked up the chopsticks and put the last piece of braised pork into Xu Rui's bowl. This time Xu Rui was not polite and ate it happily.
Xiao Taohong asked again: "Uncle, I saw that you were looking sad just now. Are you in trouble?"
"Well, we are indeed in trouble this time, a big trouble." When Xiao Taohong mentioned it, Xu Rui immediately thought about transporting equipment again, and his thick eyebrows immediately tightened again.
Sai Hongfu said softly: "Can you tell us?"
Xu Rui glanced at Sai Hongfu, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid you Qingbai Tuan can't help with this matter."
While the three of them were talking, Xu Ye suddenly rushed in out of breath and reported: "Commander, the patrol team captured a female spy in Xiasha Bridge! What is her name Jin Bihui? She is clamoring to call you."
"What did you say, Jin Bihui?" Xu Rui's heart suddenly moved when he heard this.
Isn’t Jin Bihui Yoshiko Kawashima? Japan’s ace female spy?
This notorious female spy actually dared to come to Damei Mountain to look for him. Isn’t she tired of living?
But the next moment, Xu Rui immediately guessed the intention of Jin Bihui's trip, and immediately said with joy: "Haha, it's good to come, it's just right, I was dozing off, but someone brought me a pillow, haha
Haha, great, great, hurry up, hurry up, take that female spy to the headquarters, I want to interrogate her personally!"
After saying that, Xu Rui stood up and left, looking very excited.
"Female spy?" Sai Hongfu immediately became alert and asked Xu Yedao, "Are you pretty?"
"Beautiful." Xu Ye didn't know what Sai Hongfu was thinking, so he answered honestly, "As beautiful as my sister-in-law."
"What?" Sai Hongfu immediately became anxious after hearing this, and said to Xu Rui, "Xu, I don't allow you to see this vixen named Jin. I think she is probably an agent of the Fuxing Society, so you are not allowed to see her.
"
"That won't work." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "I'm determined to see this woman."
After saying that, Xu Rui put on his armed belt, turned around and walked away. Sai Hong was so angry that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Taohong then smiled and said: "Sister, don't be angry. My uncle is teasing you on purpose. He will not mess around with that female spy named Jin. Apart from Sister Jiangnan, I only care about you."
Sai Hongfu said: "This is what makes me most angry, hum!"
