Zhou Wen saw that James was so polite, so he stopped being polite to him.
He knew in his heart that even though it seemed easy for James to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars, it was at least all the cash he could raise in the short term.
You know, money is not that easy to make during this period. Even a director like James, who holds a high position in a large company, can only earn US$60,000 to US$70,000 a year, including salary, dividends and one dollar.
During this period, the average annual salary in the United States was only about $1,500.
If a business could earn tens of thousands of dollars, do you think he would be tempted?
And Zhou Wen believes that not only James will be tempted, but also those links where he wants to get through the relationship. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough for several intermediate links to get a lot of commission. And if there is really a relationship,
, the operation is really not that complicated, and there are no risks.
As for whether James will actually get some weapons that are about to be scrapped and sell them to him, Zhou Wen is not too worried. Everyone is a smart person, and there is no need to reveal some things.
Even if you pretend to be confused and actually get scrapped weapons, I can still refuse to accept the goods, right? And the next revenge method is not something you, James, can bear.
After meeting with James and making good progress, Zhou Wen didn't have time to take a breath and immediately rushed to the next destination, which was the Lujiaqiao Base. Because it was also today that the construction of the Lujiaqiao Base began.
.
Although things are busy, Zhou Wen is in a very happy mood. The so-called pain and happiness refers to his current mood.
Think about it, Zhou Wen came to Shanghai at the end of May, and today is only July 16. In other words, in less than two months, Zhou Wen's career in Shanghai has been on the right track.
Tiger Defense Company successfully completed its first business today, easily earning US$350,000, which greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient startup funds.
In fact, if you want to calculate carefully, although the first business was to escort Nicholas's grandson to the United States, the first business completed was the second business, which was to help the Shanghai District of the Secret Service retake the captured personnel. Hehe, it's just
It was a one-night operation, and Zhou Wen received 200,000 US dollars.
But now it has just acquired Fengyu Terminal for US$135,000, which has also solved the biggest problem of the Yangtze River Company.
So so far, Zhou Wen has not used a penny of the start-up capital he brought from Shanxi, but has made $550,000 out of thin air.
Haha, you see clearly, it’s 550,000 US dollars, not Da Yang.
Even in the United States, the most economically developed country at the moment, this amount of money is an astronomical figure that is beyond the reach of most Americans.
Therefore, whether Zhou Wen wants to purchase cargo ships, gunboats, or smuggle weapons, he has quite ample funds on hand, and he can't help but thank Buddha again for his care.
The car driven by Xu Dacheng soon left the city and headed towards the suburbs.
Zhou Wen sat in the car, looking at the green rice fields outside the window. He felt comfortable and hummed a song softly.
"--Today is a good day
--Everything you want can come true
--Today is a good day
--We open the door of our house and welcome the spring breeze..."

Hukou County is a very famous scenic spot in history because it is the intersection of the Yangtze River and Fanyang Lake.
Due to the abundance of cement and sand in the Yangtze River and the different water quality, the Yangtze River and Fanyang Lake flow side by side for 25 kilometers and are incompatible. The intersection of the two waters is turbid and clear, with clear distinctions.
In July and August every year, due to rising temperatures and slowing water flow in the Yangtze River, it turns into a two-color inverted spectacle of clear river water and turbid lake water.
The river water is clear from the west, and the lake water is turbid from the south, forming a clear dividing line into the Yangtze River.
The two colors flowing side by side is a unique sight. At the mouth of Hukou, Shizhong Mountain, known as the first mountain in China, is the most magnificent and amazing scenery.
It is reported that the altitude of Shizhong Mountain is only 61.8 meters, and the relative height is about 40 meters. Because there are many gaps between the rocks, the sound of water and rocks colliding with each other is like a bell, so it was named Shizhong Mountain.
Even Su Shi, a literary giant in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wandered at the foot of Shizhong Mountain and wrote a famous "Record of Shizhong Mountain" himself.
However, Hukou is not only a place with countless breathtaking scenery. It is located at the junction of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, and is named after the intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake. It is the "Northern Gate on the Water of Jiangxi" and is known as the "Key to the Rivers and Lakes"
, known as the thoroughfare of three provinces. This shows that its geographical location is very important.
As Nanjing is an important gateway in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Nanjing Military Commission naturally has to deploy an army here to defend the capital. Moreover, this army cannot be other local troops, but must be the central army directly controlled by the Nanjing Garrison Command.
direct lineage.
This unit is stationed in a military camp next to Wushan Town in Hukou County.
Wushan Town is located at the foot of Wushan Mountain in the east and south of Hukou County, bounded by Wushan Mountains in the east and Pengze County, and adjacent to Duchang County in the south. It is only 20 kilometers away from Hukou County and 50 kilometers away from Jiujiang County, the district capital of Jiujiang Administrative Region.
.
The troops currently stationed here are the Independent Brigade of the Third Division of the National Army.
When talking about independent brigades or independent regiments, most people would think of them as border troops. Just like when Zhou Wen and others were in Dawangzhuang, Henan, not only did they supplement the third regiment, but also the surrounding independent first and second regiments.
The bandit troops recruited by Shi Yousan are all miscellaneous troops that my uncle does not care for and my grandma does not love.
The only difference from bandits is that they have an official establishment and a designated area to be stationed in. They don't get any military pay or supplies.
But this independent brigade of the Third Division is different. Not only are the three full regiments well-equipped with troops, but their weapons and equipment are even better than other units of the Third Division.
Not to mention anything else, this brigade has its own artillery battalion, equipped with a total of 12 75mm mountain guns. And they are not domestic products made in Jinling or Jinling, but the accuracy and range are the best in the world.
German Buforsberg gun.
Some people may say that the Bofors Mountain Cannon is obviously produced by the Swedish Bofors Company, so how can it be made in Germany?
In fact, the Swedish Bofors Company is a subsidiary of the German Krupp Company. It was a roundabout method adopted by Germany to avoid the Treaty of Versailles. Therefore, the Bofors Mountain Cannon is of pure German origin.
Although positioned as a mountain cannon, the Bofus Mountain Cannon has far more powerful functions. The first is the range. Generally speaking, the range of a mountain cannon is significantly smaller than that of a field gun of the same caliber, and the maximum range of the 75mm Bofors Cannon reaches 9.1 kilometers.
The maximum range of other 75mm mountain guns in the period basically does not exceed 8 kilometers.
