Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

After hearing what Uncle Zhao said, everyone nodded. They were satisfied with the result and did not think it was too expensive.

"For this price, we are already very conscientious."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "1.2 per gun and ten base shells is our production cost. In other countries, the starting cost is 10 yuan, and the final markup of 2 yuan is profit."

"Just for these 200 120mm heavy mortars, the government would have had to pay 2400 million yuan. By purchasing them from us, they saved 1000 million yuan."

Chu Feng finished speaking, and Uncle Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, this is produced by ourselves, so the cost is lower."

"If it were a 120mm mortar from the Bear Country, not only would we earn our hard-earned money, but the profits would be taken away by the Bear Country's foreigners."

"It can be said without hesitation that unless the Nationalist government produces its own artillery, it will never be able to buy such cheap artillery on the international arms market."

Uncle Zhao Wu's voice rang out again, introducing the situation to everyone: "Excluding these 200 120mm heavy mortars, the remaining 220 pieces of artillery, including 150 76.2mm field guns and 70 105mm howitzers, cannot be produced in-house because they must be delivered within a month."

"Even if we cooperate with the Russians and get a more reasonable price, the average cost of these 220 guns, including 10 base units of ammunition for each gun, is about 6 yuan. The total cost of 220 guns, including ammunition, is 1320 million yuan."

"We sold it to the government for 2060 million yuan, and we made a profit of 740 million yuan by acting as a middleman."

At this point, Uncle Zhao couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and said, "Compared to the profit from 200 120mm heavy mortars, the profit from being a middleman is directly halved."

"I'm a little bit unwilling to accept this result. This money originally belonged to us."

"But the government is very satisfied with the result. By purchasing from us, they have saved tens of millions of yuan."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

It is very happy to make money, but at the same time, everyone is also clear that if Chu Feng had not gone against the crowd and vigorously developed the military industry, continuously introduced talents and production lines, and achieved independent production.

Faced with this situation, they can only act as middlemen and watch the hard-earned money of the Chinese people being plundered by foreigners with several times the profit.

When we were doing business with foreigners before, everyone felt very unhappy.

But they could only cooperate for mutual benefit and could not leave them and work alone. Compared with them who could negotiate terms with foreigners, the Kuomintang and other local warlords were in a situation where they were at the mercy of others.

What do you mean, just because I have a market, I can use it to negotiate terms with you?

fart!

Without the guarantee of strong military force, there is no such thing as fairness.

National defense is the backing of diplomacy. Without a strong country, there will never be fairness.

At this moment, everyone made up their minds to not only make great efforts to develop and build the army, but also to develop industry and increase their own industrial strength.

Relying on outsiders and purchasing from abroad is ultimately unreliable.

The national government is the biggest example. When you really need something, even if you have a large amount of money in your hands, you can't find a place to buy it.

Even if they are found, they will be severely slaughtered.

This knife is not one of those second-hand knives sold in later generations. This special knife will directly pierce the aorta and make you bleed. They will not do that unless they squeeze out all your value.

Sensing the atmosphere was a bit dull, Uncle Zhao Wu's voice rang out again, saying, "The total transaction volume of the two deals at the government office is 70 million yuan."

"After deducting the costs, we made a total of 5440 million yuan, of which 3500 million yuan was the net profit from the weapons and equipment captured from the Japanese."

"After discussing with the government, we will not be paying this money in cash. We also don't want their legal tender. It's not worth a damn!"

"Instead, we negotiated with the Nationalist government to trade grain, livestock, and various supplies. The prices of these supplies were not based on current market prices, but on the market prices before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance."

"Of course, in addition to the primitive method of trading like barter, we will also send a team to the government to look for some useful machinery and personnel."

"The machinery and equipment and personnel will also be discounted, and the specific prices have been negotiated."

Everyone agreed with the payment method mentioned by Uncle Zhao Wu, and the depreciation of the legal currency continued.

Last year, 100 French francs could buy two oxen, but this year it can only buy one ox. Moreover, as the demand for expenses in various aspects has increased, the government has printed a lot of French francs.

In addition, the Japanese also printed legal tender, which led to an even more serious depreciation of the legal tender.

You can buy a cow now, but who can guarantee what it will be like in a few months? Maybe 100 French francs can only buy a pig.

Although bartering is cumbersome, the prices are locked in before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance. After the contract is signed, it can at least ensure that you will not suffer any loss in this transaction.

Seeing everyone's emotions being aroused again, Uncle Zhao Wu smiled and said, "The total transaction volume with the National Government and the Second War Zone has exceeded 100 million yuan."

"Ninety percent of the transaction volume is our profit. It can be said that we made a lot of money this time."

"It's not just about the benefits, it's also about reputation."

"Plus, our prices were relatively low compared to those of the National Government and the Second War Zone. They were all very satisfied and expressed their expectation for a second and third transaction."

"With the demonstrations from the Nationalist government and the Second World War Zone, we have officially entered the domestic arms market and started competing with the foreigners for orders."

At this point, Uncle Zhao Wu pointed to some telegrams and said, "The news of our deal with the Second War Zone and the Nationalist government has spread, and many local warlords have learned about it."

"Look, a telegram has been sent, asking for some specific details."

"If the problem isn't too serious, we should be able to sell a batch of weapons and equipment in the next period of time. It might not be as much as the Second War Zone and the National Government, but a small amount will add up to a considerable amount."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. In everyone's opinion, this was on the right track.

"Hahaha!"

Chu Feng was also very happy with his laughter. He said, "This is a good start. Our lives will get better and better."

"Ninety percent of the profit means we made 100 million."

As he spoke, he even did a tactical fadeaway, holding his head high and saying proudly, "What do you mean by a win-win-win situation? Huh?!"
