Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Jiao Miao was supported by his father and returned to the car. He had recovered now. He covered his aching abdomen and shouted at his father: "Dad! I want him to die! I want him to die!!"

Seeing this, Jiao Guohe hurried to comfort his son.

"Don't worry, son. Our Jiao family is not something that can be bullied by anyone. I will make sure that he never sees the sun tomorrow!"

Powerful and local tyrants like them have done all kinds of dirty things when they made their fortunes. Now that Li Xin dares to offend his family, he is going to get furious.

Li Xin walked out of the banquet hall and said, Damn, I came here in Yuri’s car, and now I have to walk back. I have to contact the main company to buy a car next time, otherwise it will be too cheap.

He stood on the side of the road, took out a cigarette from his waist bag, lit it, took a puff, and was about to walk to the apartment in the dark. Suddenly, a car drove up from the intersection and slowly stopped in front of him. The car window rolled down, revealing a blond and blue-eyed foreigner.

The foreigner smiled at Li Xin, opened the car door and said, "Mr. Li Xin, can I talk to you?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the foreigner meant, but he still got into the car.

The car door closed and the foreigner asked, "Mr. Li Xin, where is your home? I'll ask the driver to take you home."

Li Xin didn't know what the foreigner was up to, but he still gave his address. The foreigner immediately asked the driver to drive to Li Xin's luxury apartment, but at a very slow speed.

"Mr. Li Xin, let me introduce myself. I am Charles, the American Consul in Kaifeng."

He stretched out his hand and Li Xin shook it.

"Mr. Li Xin, I saw the unpleasantness at the banquet, and I am deeply sorry for it. I would like to ask, do you really plan to buy those test vehicles from the Soviet Union?"

Hmm? Could this be a silver lining?

Li Xin looked at Charles' handsome face and began to wonder. He took out the list he had shown Yuri and handed it to Charles.

"Mr. Charles, as you can see, my country is very backward. I hope to buy these construction vehicles to build my country. It's a pity that my business with Mr. Yuri has come to an end."

When Charles saw the numbers on the list, his eyes lit up.

"Oh, Mr. Li Xin, I feel your sincere desire to build our country. Coincidentally, my country has exactly what you need. If possible, I might be able to sell you these test vehicles."

Li Xin smiled.

"Of course, Mr. Charles. I'm in urgent need of these test vehicles. It would be great if I could buy them from you quickly. I just don't know how long it will take you to ask for permission from the country."

Charles held up a finger and shook it.

"NONONO! Sir, I am not only a consul, but also a businessman. How can a businessman not know the price of his own goods? Why does a businessman need to ask others for instructions when selling his goods?

Now, in the car, I can give you an estimate of the price immediately, and then sign a contract. You only need to pay a 10% deposit, and I will send a telegram back to China, and all the vehicles will be loaded at the port in two days. In less than a month and a half, these machines can be delivered from the United States to China!"

Li Xin was stunned by his words. Is a transaction worth tens of millions of dollars so casual?

He nodded and agreed to let the other party start the estimation. Charles took out a pen and paper from his waist bag and started writing and drawing on it. In less than 10 minutes, a quotation with the prices of various machines and a total price of 900 million oceans came out.

Li Xin took the quotation and looked at it, the look of doubt on his face became even stronger. When he talked with Yuri before, he personally thought that the offer would be around 1700 million to 1800 million oceans. Why did Charles cut the price in half?

Moreover, the United States has a faster industrialization process and stronger industrial strength. Their products are definitely of better quality than those of the Soviet Union. Why would the other side sell these products as industrial waste?

Li Xin's suspicion was clearly visible on his face. Charles then realized that the price he offered was too low, which aroused the other party's suspicion. He quickly explained, "Mr. Li Xin, please don't misunderstand me. I wonder if you have been paying attention to the international situation? Do you know about the Black Thursday incident?"

Li Xin's eyes widened.

“You mean the economic crisis?”

Charles nodded helplessly.

"Yes, sir. This is an unprecedented disaster. A large number of workers have been laid off and countless projects have been suspended, including engineering teams and thousands of precious heavy construction vehicles. Some of these teams are my family's assets.

Judging from the current situation, the economic crisis will continue for five to six years or even more than ten years. It is impossible for us to receive orders. My family has already started to lay off employees, but only employees can be laid off, and the heavy-duty test vehicles will have to gather dust.

Sir, you know, these heavy test vehicles will only slowly decay if they are left there. In a few years, they will become a pile of worthless metal garbage, so my family is trying to get rid of these machines. "

Li Xin no longer listened to what Charles said about construction vehicles. The only words in his mind were economic crisis.

All the knowledge and worldviews of these clones come from Li Qinwu. Li Qinwu himself is not very sensitive to economic issues. After the Republic of China, his attention was all focused on the history of his country, hoping to find opportunities for rapid development. He actually forgot that the world is still in an economic crisis!

Li Xin began to search Li Qinwu's very poor knowledge base on the economic crisis and finally found an important piece of information.

This information did not come from a history book, but from a World War II novel that Li Qinwu had read before, about the operation of a time traveler.

The time traveler took advantage of the economic crisis in the United States and bought up a large number of American railway rails. He then shipped the rails back to the country and used them as weapons steel, making a huge fortune.

Li Xin was not clear about the specific situation. After all, it was just a novel. He didn't even know whether transporting the rails as he said was feasible, but this undoubtedly gave Li Xin an idea.

The United States is now in an economic crisis, and a large number of precious industrial products have turned into garbage. Even some industrial equipment and confidential production technologies can be bought.

We should broaden our horizons and not just focus on industrial products. Are American farmers also selling their land to recover their losses? Can we also buy the thousands or even tens of thousands of livestock on their farms?

If China could control tens of thousands of acres of farms in the United States and raise large numbers of livestock, how much meat could this stable rear base provide for China?

During this period, China faced countless natural and man-made disasters. As for the man-made disasters, they could just fight the Japanese to the death, but as for the natural disasters, they had to endure them.

If we could have a stable farm that could provide a continuous supply of food, wouldn't we be able to overcome these natural disasters?

Thinking of this, Li Xin's heart beat faster. Looking at Charles' eyes with such passion, this guy couldn't help but tighten his anus and sit a little further away from him.

Next, Li Xin and Charles had a verbal battle in the car, and Li Xin tried to lower the price to get more discounts.

Charles was eager to get rid of the machine, so he kept trying to lower the price. Since Li Xin wanted to do bigger business in the United States in the future, his price reduction was not too outrageous, so he just settled for something close to give Charles some face.

In the end, Li Xin will purchase 800 construction vehicles for 100 million yuan, along with the matching replacement parts.

Charles' family donated 1000 barrels of fuel, 10 technical guidance workers, and also covered the shipping costs. Everything will arrive in Shanghai in the middle of next month. Li Xin only needs to pay a % deposit first, and the rest of the items will be delivered upon payment.

Both of them felt that they had made a profit this time. Charles felt that he had sold those burdens and successfully extended the life of the family, while Li Xin lamented that he had discovered an important development path.

After the car circled Li Xin's apartment for nearly 10 times, it finally stopped and Li Xin was escorted out of the car by Charles Lee.

After getting off the car, Li Xin turned around and said to Charles: "Mr. Charles, I have more projects that I want to cooperate with your family. I wonder if you can use your channels to send my people to the United States for inspection?"

When Charles heard that there was a business opportunity for cooperation, his eyes lit up and he patted his chest to make a promise.

“Please rest assured, Mr. Li Xin, your people will definitely be well treated by the family.

Although my family is not as famous as Rockefeller, it is ranked in the upper middle level in the United States. My family has the strength and intention to cooperate more deeply with you. "

After a few pleasantries, Li Xin entered the luxury apartment.

Li Qinwu has always wanted to send his clones abroad, but he has always had no way to do so. The clones he created don’t even have household registration. Whether they can buy tickets to go abroad is another matter. Even if they can, how can he, a Chinese, make a living in a foreign country?

At that time, the white pigs had their eyes raised to the sky and still thought that China was still a country with pigtails. A Chinese person who had no foundation and could not speak foreign languages ​​would be caught by the police in a foreign country in no time.

Oh, by the way, regarding foreign languages, Li Qinwu has already asked his clone who has entered university to learn them.

He had previously sent 500 clones to various universities in the country. These clones used the identities of refugee students from the three northeastern provinces and spent a lot of money. Several of them successfully entered universities.

One of the key learning projects for these college students is foreign languages. Using the array learning method, they can master a foreign language in just one or two months.

Of course, only a few of the clones can enter university. The universities of this era are not the same as those in later generations. The college students of this era are real talents, so it is naturally difficult to enter university.

The clones paid bribes and took formal exams, but only less than a hundred of them entered higher education institutions. The remaining 400 people could only find jobs nearby and dispersed into various industries. They would become the initial intelligence system established by Li Qinwu.

In addition, what surprised Li Qinwu was that 20 clones entered military academies in various places, including 3 from the Whampoa Military Academy, 8 from the Central Army Officers School, and 9 from the Yunnan Army Academy.

These people were the focus of Li Qinwu's attention, and he sent out at least 10 clones to watch them. The purpose was to let them enjoy the buff of array learning at all times and let them remember the knowledge they learned in the military academy.

Li Qinwu hopes that these clones will perform well enough to be valued by their superiors in the military academy so that they can lead battalion-level and above units in the army after graduation.

Li Xin returned to the apartment and locked the door. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, a portal opened in front of him. Li Qinwu came out and also sat down on the sofa. The two passed cigarettes to each other and lit each other's cigarettes, just like friends who had known each other for a long time.
