After receiving the order from Kenji Doihara, Kawashima Yoshiko once again proposed to meet with Xu Rui.
However, the only one who came to meet Kawashima Yoshiko was Wang Husheng.
Xu Rui was in Shanghai at this time, but he did not participate in the attack on No. 76 Jisi Feier Road. The only ones who attacked No. 76 Jisi Feier Road were Han Feng, Zhuan Shanbao, Mo Zichen, and Lei Xiang.
As well as Wu Han and the other five, to ordinary people, No. 76 Jisi Feier Road is no less terrifying than the Demon Cave, but to Langya it is nothing.
Therefore, Xu Rui is not worried about the safety of Zhuanshan Bao and the others at all.
When the Diamond Mountain Leopard led Han Feng and others to launch an attack on No. 76 Jisi Feier Road, Xu Rui, Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong were negotiating with Sir Edwards in the office building of Far East Bank on the Bund.
Edwards is a typical British man, with a sense of superiority as a white man deep in his bones. However, among white people, there are stupid fools, and there are also wise men with keen eyesight. The fools will wear their superiority on their faces and want to tell everyone
He is the noblest white man in the world, and a wise man will hide his pride under the appearance of humility.
Edwards is undoubtedly the latter. He appears polite on the surface, but underneath he is arrogant.
The negotiation had just begun, and Xu Rui immediately sensed Edwards' implicit arrogance. The British guy's asking price was twice as high as the base price Stilwell revealed to him! Stilwell said that the price in Edwards's hands was
These devices are now worth up to 20,000 US dollars, but Edwards’ asking price was a full 40,000 US dollars!
Obviously, this is not because Edwards is so open-minded, but because Edwards thinks that Xu Rui only deserves this price!
To put it more bluntly, if a white man like Stilwell buys the equipment, Edwards will sell it for 20,000 US dollars, but if an Asian like Xu Rui buys his equipment, it will cost 40,000 US dollars. Edwards believes
, a Western face is worth at least 20,000 US dollars.
Sai Hongfu frowned and said: "Sir Edward Ci, I want to remind you that if we don't buy your equipment, your equipment will always be backlogged in the warehouse, or it will become a pile of waste in a few years.
Tie, when the time comes, let alone forty thousand US dollars, I’m afraid no one will want even four hundred US dollars.”
Edwards took the pipe out of his mouth and said calmly: "Beautiful madam, if you really think so, then just let this batch of equipment rot in the warehouse. Without this batch of equipment, I will only lose four
Ten thousand US dollars, if the precious party cannot obtain this batch of equipment, what it will lose is industrial capacity."
Xu Rui's pupils shrank when he heard this. Obviously, Edwards knew more than he expected. Stilwell probably told Edwards in detail about his origins and the purpose of purchasing these equipment. However, Xu Rui didn't think so.
Edwards is raising prices from the ground. This British guy simply looks down on Orientals.
Xu Rui was worried that Edwards would leak the news to the Japanese.
If Edwards leaks the news to the Japanese, then his entire action plan will definitely fail. After all, Shanghai is in the Japanese-occupied area. It is absolutely impossible to transport so much mechanical equipment out of the Japanese-occupied area under heavy siege by the Japanese!
Edwards is indeed a smart man. Xu Rui just frowned slightly and he realized it immediately.
At that moment, Edwards said: "You don't have to worry about confidentiality. We British are honest. A businessman who doesn't abide by the contract will not be able to survive in the British Empire."
After a pause, Edwards added: "But in terms of price, I'm afraid there is no need to discuss it. It is just forty thousand US dollars, or you can pay one thousand two hundred taels of gold. If you are willing to buy it, you can sign a contract now. If
If you don't want to buy this batch of equipment, please do it yourself."
After finishing speaking, Edwards went to smoke alone and stopped talking.
Xu Rui secretly hated him in his heart, but he hated him, he had to bow his head when he should!
Who made China have no industry at that time? Without strong industry, it deserves to be bullied by others. This is an unbreakable truth at any time.
For example, in the era when Xu Rui traveled through time, China no longer had to look at the West because of its strong industrial manufacturing capabilities. However, another so-called big country, India, was completely cheated by Western countries. The French sold a batch of three-generation products to India.
aircraft, but the unit price is higher than the fourth-generation stealth aircraft. Russia said it was sending an aircraft carrier to India, but it turned out that the modification cost was enough to buy two aircraft carriers and dozens of carrier-based aircraft.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten; if you don’t have industry, you will be slaughtered! This has been the case since ancient times!
Xu Rui gritted his teeth and said, "If it works, it's only one thousand two hundred taels of gold! But I have one more request."
Seeing that Xu Rui agreed to the deal, Edwards immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, as long as our Far East Bank can do it, you can just offer it."
Xu Rui said: "All equipment must be wrapped in cotton yarn and disguised as cotton yarn bags. If the equipment is too large, it will be dismantled into parts and then disguised as cotton bags, and then sent to the storage yard at Shiliupu Pier!"
Edwards said: "There is no problem transporting the equipment to Shiliupu Pier, but why wrap the equipment in cotton gauze and disguise it as a cotton gauze bag?"
"You don't have to worry about it." Xu Rui said, "Just tell me, can it be done?"
"Sure, of course it's done." Edwards said happily, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
After a pause, Edwards continued: "So Mist Xu, do you want to sign now or later?"
As he spoke, Edwards glanced at the box that Xiao Taohong was carrying. When he entered the door just now, Edwards didn't think much about it, but now, he suspected that most of it contained gold.
Sure enough, with a wave of Xu Rui's hand, Xiao Taohong put the suitcase in her hand on the round table and opened it. As soon as the light shone, the entire living room was immediately filled with dazzling gold. The suitcase contained gold bars as expected. Looking at the whole suitcase
of gold bars, Edwards's eyes immediately became eager. There is no one in this world who doesn't like gold.
Xu Rui raised his hands and said: "Sir Edward Ci, here is two hundred taels of gold, which is considered an advance payment. As soon as the contract is signed, the gold will be yours. As for the remaining one thousand taels of gold, wait until the equipment arrives at Shiliupu Pier.
, I will send someone to pay it off immediately, and I will never be short of you even one tael of gold."
Edwards smiled and said: "Mist, you are serious, I can trust you."
You are the only one who can trust me! Xu Rui cursed, and then said: "Can we sign the contract now?"
The Western powers have no integrity at the political level. Politicians talk like farts and fall out when they say they have a falling out. However, at the business level, Western businessmen are quite honest, so as long as Edwards signs the contract, Xu Rui will no longer have to
Worrying that he will break his promise and gain weight, half of the whole plan will be completed.
"Of course, of course." Edwards said, "You can sign it now."
After Edwards finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a beautiful Belarusian woman walked in with the document, divided into two parts, and handed them to Xu Rui and Edwards respectively. Xu Rui glanced at the Belarusian woman, she was very charming,
Especially those long, snow-white legs are very eye-catching. It seems that the old guy Edwards is also an expert.
Xu Rui scrawled his name on the text, and then exchanged it with Edwards.
After the signing was completed, Edwards became even more enthusiastic about Xu Rui and extended an invitation: "Mist Xu, and the two beautiful ladies, the dance in the ballroom on the top floor of the East Asia Hotel has almost started. I wonder if you three are willing to show off? I
The best wine and the most perfect dancing partner will be prepared at the dance."
Sai Hongfu was a little moved, but the key was that the foreign devil's "Madam" was very helpful to her.
However, Xu Rui was still thinking about Zhuanshanbao and the others, so Xu Rui declined Edwards' invitation. Edwards shrugged and did not hold back any more.
Xu Rui and the others returned to the hotel, only to find that Zhuan Shan Bao and the others had returned.
Zhuanshanbao said carelessly: "Captain, the people from Shanghai Teco described No. 76 Jisi Feier Road as a devil's cave. I thought it was so powerful, but it turned out to be the same thing.
Although there are a lot of people, they are all a bunch of Shanghai bastards who can barely do anything to bully the common people, but they are not enough under our hands."
"This is really incomparable. You Langya are not human beings." Wu Han said.
Wu Han had actually heard of Langya's name a long time ago, but before seeing was believing, Wu Han always thought that this was just rumors. However, after participating in two of Langya's operations, Wu Han discovered that Langya
In fact, it is much scarier than the rumors. The marksmanship, skills and combat experience of these guys are simply impeccable!
"What are you talking about? Are you saying that we, Langya, are not human beings?" Zhuanshan Leopard immediately glared upon hearing this.
Wu Han quickly explained: "No, I don't mean what you think, I mean..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuanshan Bao immediately changed his smile, hugged Wu Han's shoulders affectionately and said: "Okay, Old Wu, you are still talking about us, your soul-reviving needle is pretty good.
How about this, when this operation is over, you can just go back to Dameishan with us, it would be boring to stay in Shanghai, right?"
"Come to Damei Mountain with you?" Wu Han's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
To be honest, Wu Han would certainly be happy to join the Wolf Fang Force.
Xu Rui didn't stop the Mountain Leopard from blatantly poaching the Shanghai Special Committee, because he was also very optimistic about Wu Han. Not only was this guy good with hidden weapons, he was also a surgeon. Their Wolf Fangs had everything they needed now.
The only thing missing is a special soldier who is proficient in medical skills, and Wu Han can fill this gap.
But now, it is not the time to consider these things.
While talking, Xiao Taohong hurried over with a telegram and reported: "Uncle, a telegram was just sent from home, saying that Kenji Doihara has admitted defeat!"
