Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

"Business? Of course I'm interested. Come to my villa and we can talk in detail?" Gong Er said happily on the phone.

"Okay, I'll drive over right now!" Zhang Yunhe agreed.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe called Ah Gui, took a few airport guards, and drove two cars to Gong Er's private villa.

When they arrived at the destination, Gong Er's housekeeper welcomed Zhang Yunhe and his party in.

"Ha, Brother Zhang, come and sit down. Butler, ask someone to serve tea!" Gong Er greeted him warmly.

"Yes, second son!"

Zhang Yunhe waved to Ah Gui and several other airport security guards, asked them to go out, and then sat on the sofa.

Gong Er threw a cigar over and asked, "Brother Zhang, you sounded so serious on the phone. What kind of business is this?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "Second Young Master, you know that the war in Europe is going on like a mad battle right now. Both sides are suffering heavy losses and the demand for war materials and raw materials is very high. Now that the Japanese have blocked the sea, land, and air, you have no way to transport the mined metal ore and sell it."

"Although some foreign companies are doing this business, due to the lack of transportation capacity and the deliberate obstruction of the Japanese, not much ore can be shipped out. But I have now established an air transport route from Jiangzhou to Hong Kong Island, and I also have other channels to ship more ore out. So if the Second Young Master wants to do the ore business, I think we can cooperate!"

"This is a great way to make money. I wonder how we can cooperate in this business?" Gong Er became interested.

Zhang Yunhe said, "It's very simple. From now on, I will only buy ore from Second Young Master, and I will only consider you as my seller. No matter if you get the ore from the mining area, somewhere else, or from someone else, I will buy it from you at the international price for all kinds of metal ores!"

"Really?" Gong Er stood up in shock and asked.

Zhang Yunhe laughed and said, "Really?"

Gong Er was a little bit incredulous. "If you buy from me at the international price, the foreigners will only buy your ore at this price. Not only will you not make any money, but you will also have to pay for labor and transportation costs. This is unreasonable!"

Zhang Yunhe said with a smile: "It does seem unreasonable. I am actually taking a gamble!"

"Bet? How do you say that?" Gong Er asked with great curiosity.

Zhang Yunhe used an analogy: "For example, if the international price of iron ore is 45 yuan today, and I buy it from you at that price, who knows, tomorrow, a month from now, or even a year from now, the international price may be higher than that!"

Gong Er suddenly realized: "You are speculating in metal ore futures, are you always bullish?"

"That's right!" Zhang Yunhe nodded.

Gong Er took a few puffs of his cigar. "The price of metal ores will probably rise gradually in the near future, as the war probably won't be over anytime soon. But do you think the increase in ore prices will offset your labor and transportation costs, or even make a profit?"

Zhang Yunhe spread his hands. "Who knows? I told you it's gambling. Futures trading is nothing more than a test of one's ability to judge international political situations and economic developments. What do you think?"

"Well, you're right. Since you have this confidence, I'll play along. I happen to have a company that can run the ore business, and I'll have this company work directly with you from now on!"

"Okay, then it's settled!" Zhang Yunhe nodded immediately.

Gong Er then said, "Brother Zhang, the transaction for the second batch of weapons and equipment has been completed over a month ago, and I've received the payment. When do you think we can proceed with the third transaction?"

Zhang Yunhe asked, "Has the Second Young Master's payment been prepared?"

"Of course I'm ready, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned this to you! But if you ask me, since we're going to cooperate in the mineral business again, I think it would be better to use metal ore to directly offset the payment for the arms deal, so as to avoid transferring money from you to me and then back to you!"

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "If the Second Young Master finds it troublesome, then of course I have no objection, but some people may not agree!"

"Oh? Who would have an objection? Who dares to have an objection?" Gong Er said in a very domineering manner.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and shook his head. "Second Young Master, if our transaction is directly offset by ore, it would be equivalent to not paying taxes to the government, and the money would not go through the bank. Then, I'm afraid that not only will the top executives in the financial community be dissatisfied with us, but the government will also be difficult to explain to us."

"Those people might be afraid of the Second Young Master's background and won't dare to do anything to you, but they will make things difficult for you, making it difficult for you to receive the ore, and it might also prevent me from shipping the ore out!"

Although Gong Er is arrogant, it does not mean that he is stupid. There are some things he is not afraid of, but there are also some things he is afraid of. If he does not pay taxes and does not go through the bank, it is equivalent to digging into his own family.

He thought about it for a moment and nodded, saying, "Brother Zhang, what you said makes sense. In that case, let's just transfer the money through the bank or use cash for the transaction. We can just pay the tax. It's not like I can't afford it!"

"Okay, I'll listen to the Second Young Master."

Gong Er immediately asked someone to bring some red wine to celebrate.

The two of them then discussed the details of their upcoming cooperation while drinking.

After dealing with raw materials such as metal minerals, Zhang Yunhe still had to continue to solve the problem of production equipment for the arsenal. If he directly asked the great powers to place orders, it might not be in time, and the great powers might not be willing to sell.

Zhang Yunhe thought about it and decided to just borrow it.

Ever since he had this idea, he couldn't sit still and started making preparations. The first thing he had to do was to fill the landing craft with energy so that it could go out and fly back without having to recharge.

During the days of recharging the landing craft with energy, Zhang Yunhe has been staying in Shanghai. He now has to continue playing the role of Ishida to obtain more intelligence from the Japanese. With the cover of this identity, his activities in Shanghai will be more convenient and relaxed.

During these days in Shanghai, he contacted James several times by telegram, entrusting him to recruit a group of workers and technical engineers who had worked in the arsenal with high salaries, and asked him to contact other arms companies to purchase more weapons, equipment and ammunition.

After receiving his telegram, James replied quickly, saying that he would handle the business as soon as possible, but he said that recruiting workers and technical engineers with experience in arsenals with high salaries might not be smooth.

After receiving James' telegram, Zhang Yunhe decided to start with the Chinese and overseas Chinese after careful consideration. He asked James to investigate the Chinese workers, Chinese engineers and Chinese scientists working in the arsenal who were researching weapons manufacturing.
