Chapter 1016: Troublesome West German Machine Tools
The director of Luoyang Tractor Factory is an old classmate of Li Mingfei.
The two of them have a good relationship, which is quite interesting.
Li Mingfei called and agreed without any effort to get some of the gun steel out first.
After Shougang produces it, we will plug this hole.
The gun steel issue was resolved, which made Du Fei sigh in relief.
When I heard the news that Lou Hongyi was back, my heart moved again.
This time Lou Hongyi came back, nominally to see his wife and children who stayed in the capital.
This is the attitude he must show.
His family is his anchor in the country. Only if this anchor is strong enough can the Lou family be safer.
At night, the backyard of the courtyard house.
Xu Daimao came back early from get off work, carrying a large artificial leather bag.
Saying hello all the way back home from the front yard.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lou's father teasing his grandson, and Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e were sitting next to them.
Xu Daimao smiled and said, "Dad, you are finally back!"
As he spoke, he put the bag on the table and took out lunch boxes one by one.
Lou Hongyi looked back and said, "I just arrived in the afternoon."
Xu Daimao said, "Yesterday Xiao'e said that you would come back today, and I went to Dongxing Tower to order the dishes."
Lou Hongyi smiled and said, "Dai Mao, you are serious."
When Lou Hongyi was in his prime, he loved Dongxinglou's dishes the most.
Later, the situation changed and I deliberately kept a low profile, so I went less often.
Lou Hongyi glanced at his daughter, and it was probably Lou Xiao'e who reminded her.
But no matter what, when he left for Xiangjiang, his family had to point to his son-in-law.
As the old saying goes, times change.
Lou Hongyi was not very satisfied with Xu Daimao as his son-in-law earlier, but he chose Xu Daimao only because of the situation.
Now that he was back and forth again, his son-in-law felt a little complicated.
Especially at the beginning, if Xu Daimao had not been protecting him desperately, it is not certain whether he would have been able to wait until today.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lou Hongyi showed no emotion on the surface and smiled as he greeted Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e to eat.
During the dinner, Lou's mother asked a lot about the situation of her two sons outside.
Although we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, it is the flesh that has fallen from our bodies. It is impossible to say that we don't want to.
Speaking of his two sons, Father Lou couldn't help but sigh, picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.
He had long thought that his two sons were of no use and were only holding on to the connections and assets of the Lou family, and they had been sitting on nothing in recent years.
But there are always some thoughts in my heart, and I feel that it is not easy for them outside.
But this time, Lou Hongyi saw clearly that because he left his side so early, neither of his two sons had grown up.
The only thing I am happy about now is that the two of them have not contracted any intolerable bad habits.
Thinking of this, Lou Hongyi felt a little depressed. If he had not taken the two sons by his side to teach them through words and deeds during the more than ten years, even if they could not become business geniuses, they would at least be ten times better than they are now.
After a few brief words, Lou Hongyi asked, "Dai Mao, if Du Fei moves out, you can't cut off contact."
Xu Daimao said, "Dad, I know. A while ago, Xiao'e and I went to see his wife. But now she has many things to do and has no reason to go."
Lou Hongyi sighed.
He knew in his heart that with Xu Daimao's character and knowledge, if he hadn't lived in the same hospital as Du Fei, the two would never have known each other.
It's not easy to maintain this relationship now, no matter how hard you force it, you can't get it.
Then he said, "I heard from Xiao'e that he has a wife and sister living in his original house? "
Xu Daimao nodded, "It's Zhu Li, she moved here after the divorce." He raised his head and looked at Lou Xiao'e, "I asked Xiao'e to walk around with her more often."
Lou Hongyi said "Yes" and said seriously, "If I can go out this time, our family will have a chance to make a comeback, but we must keep a low profile in China. I estimate that our original house may be returned in a short time. If I am not here,
You must remember not to take it, let alone move it back."
Lou's mother nodded quickly, she knew a lot about these things.
Lou Hongyi added, "In addition, Dai Mao, you still have to maintain the relationship with Du Fei..."
Although he said this, Father Lou didn't have much hope.
Now, when Xu Daimao and Du Fei are together, what else can they do besides eating and drinking.
Du Fei is not in need of food and drink.
Thinking of this, Lou's father suddenly had an idea, "Dai Mao, Du Fei's child is only one year older than our puppy Dan'er. You can go back and ask, which kindergarten your child goes to? We will also try to send him there and pick him up every day."
My child, if we see him every now and then, we won’t miss him all the time.”
Xu Daimao thought about it, this was really a solution, and nodded in agreement.
Father Lou added, "There is also his sister-in-law. Are you looking for someone in the workplace? If there is anyone suitable and with good conditions, please introduce her..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lou Xiao'e interrupted, "Dad, don't you think we didn't introduce you~ Julie seems determined and doesn't want to look for her anymore."
Lou Hongyi frowned and said, "Don't look for her anymore? How old is she~"
Lou Xiao'e said helplessly, "Maybe I haven't gotten over the idea of divorce yet."
Father Lou thought for a while and then asked, "What about Qin Huairou? He and Du Fei..."
Xu Daimao and Lou Xiao'e both knew about Qin Huairou's affair with Du Fei.
Lou Xiao'e said, "I don't know. Du Fei moved out and never came back to see Qin Huairou, but..."
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but think of the woman next door who was obviously older than her, but still had a tender face. She would not believe it if she said it was not moisturized by a man.
Xu Daimao continued, "Speaking of this, I guess Du Fei may have bought her a house outside."
Lou Xiao'e was surprised: "How did you know?"
Xu Daimao said, "This is what happened the day before yesterday. I had something to do with Director Lu. When I went there, Qin Huairou was also there, listening to what they were doing and what happened with Director Lu's daughter..."
Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "Bangbian'er? How old is he~"
Xu Daimao smiled and looked at Lou's father and Lou's mother, "It's not too early. Banggun'er is already in his third year of junior high school. With the current situation, technical secondary schools and high schools don't even think about it. If you don't want to work in a job after graduation, you have to work in a factory.
It won’t be a good time to talk about marriage.”
Lou Xiao'e nodded and asked, "What does this have to do with Du Fei buying her a house?"
Xu Daimao smiled and said, "Listen to me! What do you think Qin Huairou said at that time? She directly told Director Lu that when Director Lu's daughter gets married, all the two and a half large north rooms in our courtyard will be great."
Stay here."
Lou Xiao'e blinked her eyes and said in disbelief, "It's all over the place. Where do she, Xiaodang, and Huaihua live?"
Xu Daimao slapped his thigh, "What are you talking about! Qin Huairou is such a shrewd person. Even if he is joking, he cannot say this easily. If someone catches him and brings it up in the future, he will be in trouble."
The Lou family members were not slow to react, and they all understood the implication of Xu Daimao's words.
Lou Xiao'e clicked her tongue and said, "So, Qin Huairou really has a place to live outside? If Du Fei bought it, then Du Fei is really good to her."
Lou's father
She said, "Xiao'e, you and Qin Huairou must also have a good relationship. Remember, don't explore her house outside. Some things are tacitly understood, and it will be difficult to deal with them if they are made clear."
Lou Xiao'e responded, "Dad, I understand."
…
The next morning.
Du Fei met Lou Hongyi at work.
Lou Hongyi, dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, with a rosy face and a straight back, is not a little bit more energetic than before.
But in front of Du Fei, he kept his posture very low, quickened his pace from a distance, arched his back, and stretched out his hands.
Du Fei warmly greeted him, shook his hand tightly, and asked him to sit down on the sofa.
Lou Hongyi mentioned it as soon as he sat down and thanked Du Fei for helping take care of the family.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Old Lou, you don't have to be polite. You work for the country and it is your duty to protect your family."
After chatting for a while, we finally got down to business.
Lou Hongyi said, "Manager, there are two main things I want to do when I come back this time. The first one is that Zhenla State intends to purchase our rocket launcher..."
"Zhenla?" Du Fei raised his eyebrows, "Be more specific."
Lou Hongyi understands what Du Fei means. If it is a normal equipment purchase and sale, you can go through official channels. There is no need to find a broker like Lou Hongyi.
Lou Hongyi said, "They are from Angkor in the west."
Du Fei understood this.
But if you open the door for business, there is no reason to push customers away.
Besides, even if we didn’t buy Du Fei’s rocket launchers, would the Angkor people not cause trouble?
So the money that should be earned must be earned.
But then Du Fei asked the worried question "Do they have money?"
Lou Hongyi licked his lips and lowered his voice and said, "Someone will pay them."
Du Fei nodded.
As long as you have money, it doesn't matter who pays.
Then he asked, "Do you want a rocket launcher? Heavy machine guns, mortars, or grenades?"
Lou Hongyi said hey, "It would be better to have these, but their funds are limited. I estimate that the total we can share will not exceed one million US dollars."
Du Fei was not surprised. He estimated that the one million was due to the momentum he created on Zhenbao Island, prompting the other party to take out the money.
But mosquito legs are also meat.
This million US dollars, the net profit that ended up in the fire equipment company's account was actually 200,000 US dollars.
Lou Hongyi then mentioned the second thing: "Manager, you said last time that you wanted to purchase some machine tools. Through our second brother, I learned that Dongyang has a batch of about thirty machines, all of which are West German machines."
Du Fei couldn't help but his heart moved, and he quickly asked what year it was from?
Lou Hongyi said, "It was manufactured in 1961 and is in pretty good condition."
Du Fei frowned.
It has only been eight years since 1961.
The machine tools used in West Germany eight years ago are definitely quite advanced for flower planting today.
But I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Nowadays, Japan's economy is booming and the fire is cooking.
You can make money by investing in any factory, but it is almost impossible to bankrupt yourself by owning dozens of machine tools.
There must be something fishy here.
Sure enough, Lou Hongyi continued, "Manager, what's going on is that the owner of this machinery factory has offended the senior cadres of the Yamaguchi-gumi. He really has no choice but to sell the factory and move abroad. Let's buy it in the name of a local."
Factory, secretly take out the machine tools..."
After hearing this, Du Fei found it reasonable.
But there is always a hunch in my heart that this matter is not that simple.
asked "How much does it cost to buy the factory?"
Lou Hongyi said, "Including the land and factory buildings, the total is 45 million yen."
Du Fei frowned, the amount of money was not much.
The total is about RMB 600,000.
Du Fei still has more than 7 million in his account, which is nothing to the fire equipment company.
But Du Fei still felt unsteady.
Then he asked, "Old Lou, do many people know about machine tools?"
Lou Hongyi was stunned for a moment.
He was a good person, and he immediately understood what Du Fei was worried about, and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of it, and I have never made it public. It is all done through reliable relationships, and others are doing it in the name of machining."
Du Fei nodded, knowing that Lou Hongyi always acted cautiously.
Although he felt something was wrong, Du Fei didn't object and asked Lou Hongyi to continue following up.
After sending Lou Hongyi away, Du Fei returned to the office, still thinking about the matter.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized something was wrong.
After a while, he simply picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello, Luo Chu? I'm Xiao Du~" Du Fei smiled and greeted.
On the other end of the phone was Zhou Peng's immediate boss, the somewhat bald Luo Zhengming.
Because of the special nature of the fire equipment company, Zhu's father had already greeted the An Tsuen Bureau, and the person who contacted him there was Luo Zhengming.
"Manager Du!" Luo Zhengming's somewhat hoarse voice came over the phone.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Du Fei explained the purpose of the call, "Luo Chu, can you ask the comrades from Dongyang to do a favor and check what is going on with this Yamada Co., Ltd.?"
Luo Zhengming frowned, a little unhappy. Using overseas power is not a trivial matter.
Du Fei understood his difficulty and explained, "Luo Chu, I can't help it. It involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange, so I have to be careful!"
Luo Zhengming took a breath of cold air.
In this era, hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange is no small matter.
His attitude immediately changed and he said in a deep voice, "I understand, give me a week."
After receiving Luo Zhengming's assurance, Du Fei put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he went to Luo Zhengming directly was not unfounded.
Du Fei's ability to get to where he is today is due to his extraordinary wisdom and foresight.
He may fail, but he must not be fooled.
Once he is fooled, his so-called "wisdom" and "foresight" will become a joke.
Therefore, when his intuition is not good, he is extra cautious.
When the critical moment comes, even if we don't need these dozens of West German machine tools, we must not take the risk of being tricked and defrauded of money.
In addition, this time it also involves Lou Yuanwei, the second eldest son of the Lou family.
When Lou Hongyi sent his two sons away, one was in Xiangjiang and the other was in Dongyang.
The boss, Lou Yuanji, has average abilities and has never been famous in Xiangjiang.
The situation on the second child's side is better.
Although Lou Yuanwei's ability is not much better than that of his elder brother, he has developed well in Japan.
In addition to the economic boom in Japan, another reason is that he married a good wife.
Lou Yuanwei’s wife’s name is Matsushima Ye Zi, she is the only daughter of the wealthy Matsushima family in Kagawa County, Shikoku Island.
Lou Hongyi once studied abroad in Japan and was a classmate of Matsushima Ye Zi's father. The marriage between the two families was also decided before liberation.
They also agreed that the two children must have a male child who will take the mother's surname and inherit the Matsushima family business.
Otherwise, after Matsushima Yoko's father dies, the family property will definitely be divided among the family's branches.
