Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiangzhou Fengtai Restaurant.

In the private room by the window, Boss Huang, whose face was flushed from drinking, said drunkenly to Zhang Yunhe, "Boss Zhang, I'll do this deal with you. I'll pay you the price you just mentioned, but I want it in silver dollars or gold!"

Zhang Yunhe was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Boss Huang, you know that the higher-ups have always advocated the use of legal tender for large transactions. It's really difficult for me to take out so many silver dollars and gold at once!"

Boss Huang waved his hand and said, "If I had to trade with fiat currency, I would have sold this shipload of tungsten ore long ago. I wouldn't have waited until now because few people can afford to pay so much silver and gold at once."

At this point, he leaned over and whispered, "The French currency is depreciating too quickly, you know that!"

Zhang Yunhe took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How much tungsten ore do you have on this ship?"

"1000 tons," said Boss Huang.

Zhang Yunhe put down his glass and said, "It's really not expensive per ton. The total value of this shipload of tungsten ore is 3000 million taels of silver. I can afford it, but it's too much and too heavy. It would take a truck to load it, and it would be troublesome to transport it and count it when the transaction is completed."

"And if such a large transaction is not taxed, once it is discovered by the higher-ups, I'm afraid..."

Four years ago (1938), the largest international tungsten ore trading markets were Portugal and Spain, with the price at that time being 300 pounds per ton (tungsten content 1.5%). By the end of last year (1941), in order to compete with the Germans for Portuguese tungsten ore, Britain and the United States pushed the price up to 6000 pounds per ton, equivalent to US dollars per ton.

In just over three years, the price of international tungsten sand ore has increased 20 times.

If converted into silver dollars, the price of international tungsten sand ore at this time is silver dollars per ton.

Boss Huang has no connections and cannot transport the tungsten ore. If he had international sales channels, he would never just ask for a dollar per ton. However, he may not know the current international selling price of tungsten ore.

The price of 3 silver dollars per ton offered by Zhang Yunhe is already the highest among many buyers, and he can also afford so many silver dollars.

Boss Huang smiled and said, "Boss Zhang's reputation is well-known and he has always been honest in doing business. Otherwise, I would not have agreed to meet you as soon as I heard you were coming. I believe Boss Zhang is sincere in wanting to do this business with me. A transaction of 3000 million silver dollars is indeed not a small amount, and it is indeed very troublesome to count it."

"But it's worth the trouble to make this deal happen."

Zhang Yunhe touched his chin, looked at Boss Huang and said, "Okay, then let's trade in silver dollars!"

He looked at his watch and said to Boss Huang, "I have something else to do this afternoon. Boss Huang, come with me to the airport. I'll give you the 3000 million silver dollars right now. As for how you're going to transport it, you figure it out yourself. How do you do that?"

"can!"

Zhang Yunhe then called the waiter to settle the bill, paid for the meal, and drove to the airport with Boss Huang and his bodyguards.

If the transaction is done in fiat currency, with the current level of depreciation of fiat currency, he would have to pay nearly 1 billion fiat currency to Boss Huang.

After arriving at the airport, Zhang Yunhe asked Qin Jian to arrange for Boss Huang and others to rest in the reception room. He went to an empty warehouse and took out 3000 million oceans, a total of 6000 boxes, 5000 oceans per box.

One dollar weighs about 27 grams, and a box of 5000 dollars weighs 135 kilograms excluding the wooden box. It is very difficult for two big men to lift a box.

After arranging the silver dollars, Zhang Yunhe sent someone to call Boss Huang to the warehouse.

"Boss Huang, the 3000 million yuan are all here. You can count them here. I will send someone to the dock. After you finish counting and confirm that the amount of money is correct, call the dock and ask the people you leave there to hand over the goods to the people I send. What do you think?" Zhang Yunhe said.

Upon hearing this, Boss Huang said, "Boss Zhang, I'll sample and inspect 30 boxes. If there are no problems, we'll make the deal. I'll call the dock right away to deliver the tungsten ore! My mine is still in operation, and we can produce over 50 tons every month. If this deal goes well, we can continue to cooperate in the future!"

Zhang Yunhe was shocked. You know, tungsten ore is an extremely scarce strategic material nowadays. If Boss Huang was just a small private businessman, he would definitely not be able to keep this business. Looking at his expression, he must have a powerful backer behind him.

He immediately said, "Of course I hope to maintain long-term cooperation with Mr. Huang. From now on, I want all of Mr. Huang's tungsten sand mines. No matter how high the price is, I will beat them by 10%!"

It’s not that domestic tungsten ore cannot be sold abroad now, but it can only be sold to polar bears because sea transportation has been blocked by the Japanese. It cannot be sold to Europe and the United States, and can only be sold to polar bears by land.

You have to know that this is a buyer's market. The price offered by the polar bear is not high at all, but Jiangzhou has to sell it because they need to use these ores to exchange for weapons, equipment and ammunition from the polar bear.

"Boss Huang, you can take your time to count. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I promise to compensate you tenfold if you miss one."

Boss Huang also knew that as long as Zhang Yunhe wanted to continue purchasing tungsten ore from him, he would not play tricks in this transaction. After all, this was a long-term business, not a one-time deal.

Boss Huang smiled and said, "Boss Zhang is straightforward and decisive. His reputation is well-deserved!"

Next, he asked his followers to randomly check 30 boxes of silver dollars. After opening them, he moved out the silver dollars one by one and roughly estimated the number of silver dollars in each box.

"Boss, the random inspection is basically fine!"

Boss Huang immediately went to the airport office and called the dock, asking his people left at the dock to hand over the tungsten ore on the ship to the people left at the dock by Zhang Yunhe.

Then Boss Huang said to Zhang Yunhe, "Boss Zhang, I'd like to keep this batch of silver dollars with you temporarily. Once your people unload the tungsten ore from the ship onto the dock, I'll send someone to transport the silver dollars away. What do you think?"

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. As long as it's within the airport, I can ensure the safety of the money. When the money is shipped, I can also send a platoon of airport guards to accompany you to the dock for loading. But I can't guarantee that there won't be any problems during the escort!"

"Thank you very much, Boss Zhang. This matter is settled!"

Zhang Yunhe immediately called Qin Jian to take care of the subsequent handover and money escort.

Zhang Yunhe then pulled Boss Huang aside and said, "Boss Huang, trading in silver dollars is still too troublesome, and I can't get so many silver dollars anymore. Can we trade in US dollars in the future?"

Boss Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You have US dollars? You also have US dollars worth 30 million silver dollars?"

"Yes, if Boss Huang hadn't insisted on using silver dollars, I would have asked you a long time ago if we could use US dollars!" said Zhang Yunhe.

Boss Huang slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, Boss Zhang, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had US dollars? No problem, we'll use silver dollars this time, and next time we'll use US dollars, which will be more convenient to carry!"

Zhang Yunhe shook hands with Boss Huang and said, "Then it's settled."
