Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1068 The smell of money permeates!
The deposit form that Tang Dao took out was naturally the deposit form for German mechanizer equipment that Commander Wu gave to Tang Dao.

The deposit form with the seal of the Krupp Far East Branch worth as much as 100 million dollars made Lou Dehua flustered in the wind for a while, and then he let go of Tang Dao with a wry smile: "Colonel Tang Dao, in your Chinese words , You are really too bad, I know how bad mood Okabe Saburo was when he was negotiating with you."

The deposit slip in Tang Dao's hands is naturally no stranger to Lou Dehua. This is one of Krupp's large arms orders in the Far East.The most terrible thing is that the goods have arrived long ago, but no one has paid the final payment to pick up the goods.

Although the 'consignor' suddenly appeared, the 15.00% discount instantly offset the joy that should have been.

"Haha, my friend, don't you think this is another kind of mutual help? If no one can pay the follow-up payment, the large amount of equipment that your company has worked so hard to transport from thousands of miles away can only lie rotten and moldy in the warehouse. A deposit of one million dollars may not be enough for your company to lose!" Tang Dao replied with a big laugh.

"No, no, if our company transfers this batch of arms back to the country, it will return the funds without losing money. It will never be like what you think, Colonel Tang Dao." Lou Dehua pretended to be angry.

This can be regarded as the last stubbornness of this businessman, otherwise, the 300% discount he promised earlier would make his liver hurt and his kidney hurt. The total amount of the entire order is as high as 45 million US dollars, which is to let him give away [-] US dollars in profit get out!
What is the concept of $45 in this era?Comparing the value of guns and guns may not reflect the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Take the USS Hornet, which was launched by American cowboys in early 1938, at a cost of only 3180 million dollars.

This almost means that Lou Dehua opened his mouth, and one hundredth of the Hornet aircraft carrier is gone. Do you think Lou Dehua can survive!Don't talk about friends right now, I'm afraid even my wife can't admit it.

"Hey, I remember that this batch of equipment has been shipped to our country for almost half a year! With the current speed of your country's army changing equipment, Mr. Lou Dehua, do you think that after your company ships it back from a long distance, it will be like this Broken copper and rotten iron, will there be an army division that doesn't dislike it?" Tang Dao chuckled. "Besides, based on my understanding of the Germanic nation, it is one of the most trustworthy nations. It is better than the greedy Hebrews who only try for money."

"I am a German, of course, and a greedy Hebrew."

Seeing Tang Dao talking about this, Lou Dehua nodded in agreement.

The Hebrews, who are extremely good at business, have already aroused public anger in the Germanic Empire, which is one of the reasons for the tragic liquidation in the future. It is a pity that even Lou Dehua probably did not expect that his first gentleman would do such a great job. Almost sent the entire empire to hell.

"So! Then there is a big customer coming to the door, and the businessman is going to run away with the goods?"

"No, no, the amount of this order is too large, and it has exceeded the authority of my Far East manager to handle it independently. If the recovery of funds is wrong, it will be difficult for me to explain to the head office.

Dear Colonel Tangdao, if I do this, I am afraid that I will not have to wait a few years before I will be kicked out of the family by my dear nephew for enriching his own pocket. "Lou Dehua made a final resistance pitifully.

Tang Dao just smiled, but stopped talking.

He believed that his friend would find a way to make up for his promise.

This guy is simply a grinning wolf!The brighter and warmer Tang Dao's smile was, the more buzzing Lou Dehua's mind was.

Taking two puffs of the cigar to calm down his thoughts, Lou Dehua finally made up his mind: "Let's do this! Because this is a long-established contract, in order to ensure the company's profits, the amount cannot be discounted, but I can help You ship it out of Jincheng and arrive at the HD area, and then there is nothing I can do and it’s all up to you. The shipping fee is all exempted.”

"Haha, deal!" Tang Dao laughed loudly.

This is the answer Tang Dao wanted most.

For Tang Dao, the most important thing is how to transport these weapons out of Jincheng, which is heavily guarded by the Japanese army. This batch of equipment was transported to the Taihang Mountains.

If he could, he was even willing to pay the businessman another $100 million for transportation.

"Huh~~~" Seeing Tang Dao's quick answer, Lou Dehua couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally made up for the shortfall of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

However, seeing Tang Dao's hearty smile, the shrewd businessman came to his senses in an instant.

This is wrong!It was he who had to take the risk to help transport hundreds of kilometers, Tang Dao couldn't thank him!How could it be the same as how he took advantage of Tang Dao?

"However, dear Colonel Tang Dao, do you have so much cash to pay? I remember that the total amount of this order exceeded 300 million dollars, which is worth about 1300 million dollars when converted into your country's hardest currency, Yinyang. Yinyang!

Also, Colonel Tang Dao, don't think about asking for the equipment with a deposit of 100 million dollars. This is the overall purchase price. If you buy it separately, the price may increase by at least 30.00%.No, the price may increase by 100% due to the increase in our company's transportation, storage and other costs. "Lou Dehua, who felt that he had been tricked by Tang Dao, was determined to add a block to Tang Dao.

At the very least, Tang Daotou, who seems to know everything, must be raised once.

No matter how wise the mind is, this money is not born out of thin air.

Of course, the more important thing is that Lou Dehua needs to confirm whether Tang Dao is qualified to pay the final payment. If not, no matter how he treats Tang Dao as a friend, this batch of goods will not be given to Tang Dao.

This is the most basic principle of a businessman, and Lou Dehua will not violate it.

Just like how his big nephew hugged the mustache Fuehrer's thigh tightly, Krupp's profits must be guaranteed.After all, the company's tens of thousands of employees also need to eat, don't they?
"Mr. Lou Dehua can rest assured that the payment will be delivered when the goods are delivered! The amount is still based on the contract signed in the past. I owe you a point, and you don't miss a bullet from me." Tang Dao sternly promised. "Moreover, I hope that the cooperation with your company will not stop there. I will have more weapons and equipment to be customized from your company in the future."

"It's better not to have a next time. Just for this transportation alone, our company has already taken a great risk. If it is discovered by the Japanese, it will be difficult for me to explain to them. Maybe they will not do anything to me, but the future of our company Business in China will be even more difficult, even the existing ones are difficult to guarantee, and the possibility of me being forced to go back is higher than 90.00%.” Lou Dehua looked bitter.

He was really impulsive just now. In order to make up for the previous promise, he thought of using the inspection-free pass to transport the weapons and equipment ordered by Tang Dao to the coal mine controlled by HD's own company through the special train for transporting coal and iron.

But he just calmed down and thought about it, it is easy to transport to HD, but it is indeed more than 200 kilometers away from Taihang Mountain!The Chinese do not have trains or cars, and rely solely on manpower for transportation. The Japanese are neither blind nor fools. Can we not think of Krupp?
Tang Dao is such a smart person, just by looking at this man's face, he knows what he is worried about. It is nothing more than being discovered by the Japanese.

But if he can get through the Krupp line, it is almost equivalent to getting through an arms supply line from the sea to Jincheng and then to HD. How can Tang Dao give up?
"I can assure you, Mr. Lou Dehua, that as long as we arrive in the HD area, our army will be responsible for transporting it back from there secretly and safely, and will never implicate your company." Tang Dao assured with a serious and serious face.

"But Colonel Tangdao, what guarantee do you have?" There was no sarcasm in Lou Dehua's blue eyes, but there was full distrust.

China has been retreating steadily on the North China battlefield, and the area where he is now is already the last line of defense of the Chinese army in North China.As a result, Tang Dao swore that he could go deep into the Japanese-controlled area and transport the equipment of a reorganized infantry division back without anyone noticing it. A normal person would not believe it!

"Hehe, I think Mr. Lou Dehua may have misunderstood my current position. Yes, Tang is only the commander of an infantry regiment now, but Tang still has close allies, such as the [-]th Army. "Tang Dao laughed.

"Eighty Group Army" Lou Dehua stayed for a few seconds, as if enlightened.

Lou Dehua himself is an arms manufacturer, but he is not a military enthusiast. On the contrary, he prefers humanities, but this does not mean that he has never heard of the name of the Chinese [-]th Army.

In fact, anyone who has a little understanding of China's history in the past 20 years, the army that was the predecessor of the [-]th Army Group is a must-know knowledge point that cannot be bypassed.

The establishment of the people's political party, the establishment of the first working people's regime, the strategic shift of tens of thousands of kilometers that attracted the attention of the world, and the willingness to join the former enemy to fight against the powerful enemy that invaded the motherland are all miracles that this army has achieved.

However, this did not add anything to Tang Dao's guarantee. What really convinced Lou Dehua about the strength of Tang Dao's guarantee was the performance of the [-]th Army Group on the North China battlefield.

It was this peasant army that became the confidant of the Japanese army on the battlefield in North China.

They may not have been so tough on the main battlefield, but when the Japanese army divisions assembled on a large scale and marched forward, they broke up into pieces and entered the rear of the Japanese army, forming a not fatal but extremely painful harassing operation against the Japanese army's logistics transportation.

Imagine that the main army is fighting hard in the front, and the transport team in the rear is also working hard to contribute to the front, transporting food and ammunition. As a result, they are frequently attacked by surprise. On the front line, wouldn't it be a headache to change to that commander?
But what is even more painful is that this group of peasant troops never acted on a large scale, with as many as a thousand people or as few as dozens of people. However, Japan's North China Front Command commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were as powerful as elephants swatting flies.

Now the troops of the [-]th Group Army that harassed the rear of the Japanese army were not only in Jin Province, they went deep into Hebei Province a few months ago, and there were even reports of their activities in the Pingjin-controlled area.

If this army is fully assisting, it is indeed possible to complete this seemingly impossible task.

"If that's the case, I'm quite interested in the follow-up cooperation you proposed, but that will have to be done after you, Colonel Tang Dao, have paid all the final payment. Friends, you know that I am a serious businessman." Lou Dehua's mind was completely relaxed at this time, but he started joking instead.

"With this, it should be enough to pay Mr. Lou Dehua your final payment!" Tang Dao took out another piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

Since he had the opportunity to talk freely with this great arms dealer, how could Tang Dao not be fully prepared?He is even more aware of how to maintain friendship with businessmen. Sincerity and keeping promises are the foundation, and sufficient benefits are the real driving force.

The silver that the 29th Army deposited in the Bank of Four Kingdoms before leaving was enough to open the heart of any capitalist.

"Oh! God!" Lou Dehua saw the amount of silver written on the white paper and the seals of several major western banks, and became a fool again.

He himself didn't know why he was so shallow today, and he was shocked by Tang Dao at every turn.

But there is no way, the huge amount of silver counted in tens of millions of wealth still makes him dumbfounded.

Perhaps this is the magic power of the ancient oriental civilization!A mid-level and low-level military officer can control such terrible wealth, so what about those high-ranking officials and generals?

"The silver." Lou Dehua swallowed, and asked with some difficulty.

"With the permission of Commander Song of the 29th Army, I can use half of it. There are about 3000 million silver oceans, and the value is about 750 million US dollars!" Tang Dao replied very honestly.

Lou Dehua, the Chinese general who once ruled half of North China, knew that he was indeed qualified to own such a large amount of silver, and he was also very familiar with the seals of several major western banks.

What's more, it is meaningless for Tang Dao to cheat on this matter.

"Okay, what other weapons and equipment do you need? As long as you can pay, I promise, you can pick up the goods at HD within 3 months." Seeing that the money was already there, Lou Dehua spoke more simply and neatly.

"The equipment I want is just a small amount of money. I will naturally give you the list later. I don't know if your company accepts Japanese yen and gold!" Tang Dao said with a faint smile.

"Yes, we have a trading company in Japan, which can be exchanged with Japanese yen, and gold is used all over the world, but the exchange rate may fluctuate to a certain extent, but as long as you have it, Colonel Tang, I can exchange it with the highest exchange rate within half a month." Ratio to exchange." Lou Dehua nodded firmly.

This can be regarded as the first large order that Tang Dao helped him obtain in China during the war. After excluding various expenses, the net profit will be above 60.00%. No matter how you say it, you have to serve customers well. The exchange rate at that point The loss caused by fluctuations counts as a ball!
"Well, I have almost 200 ounces of gold and [-] million yen here. Since it is not convenient for me to carry it when I enter Jincheng, I will first deliver it to Mr. Lou Dehua and you will take it back. It is right to be part of the final payment that I paid first." Tang Dao said.

The corner of Lou Dehua's mouth twitched slightly!
At this time, the ratio of yen to U.S. dollars is about 2.5 to 1, worth about 80 U.S. dollars, plus an ounce of gold can be exchanged for 45 U.S. dollars, which is 45 U.S. dollars, a total of more than 120 million U.S. dollars, what? When it comes to Tang Dao, it seems to be taken out so lightly?

Could it be that he is making friends with the legendary super rich second generation?

Of course, it is not the first time that Tang Dao has pulled out money like a magic trick. Lou Dehua is almost numb to the huge amount of money that keeps flashing, and his curiosity is not here.

"Dear friend, are you not afraid that I will take your money and leave it forever?" Lou Dehua was a little curious about how Tang Dao would answer him.

In an instant, he thought of many answers.

He has seen the tyrannical Tang Dao before, and he has also seen the cunning Tang Dao.

"My friend, if just a million dollars can make a Krupp family see money, how did the Krupp family become the number one arms dealer in the Germanic Empire from a small workshop?" Tang Dao grinned, revealing A mouthful of white teeth.

Shaking the paper in his hand, "What's more, I have nearly 800 million dollars here, and I plan to discuss an investment with my dear Mr. Lou Dehua!"

"Oh! God, come and kill this devil waving a check!" Lou Dehua covered his head with his hands. "The smell of money has already made me sink completely, even if there is hell in front of me!"

How can a shrewd businessman not know that this is Tang Dao's set?
Originally, it was just a normal order delivery, and Tang Dao paid him to deliver the goods. From then on, even if he was a friend, it was just a long time to see each other again. At most, he would only take the risk of offending the Japanese once.

But if they cooperate with Tang Dao for a long time, the friendship between the two will become more and more stable, but that means they will offend the Japanese to death.

The Japanese will never tolerate the existence of a long-term channel for supplying arms to China in their own territory.

Don't think that this will be a top secret. A large number of German-made weapons have been put on the battlefield, which is the biggest exposure in itself.

But the smell of money in Tang Dao's hands really made him unable to extricate himself!The damn businessman gene.

"Haha, it's not as serious as you think dear friend, I'm not stupid enough to order a lot of German weapons and put them on the battlefield, I'm going to make them myself, and, neither the Germans nor the Japanese have ever seen guns." Tang Dao laughed loudly.

"You can do this too?" Lou Dehua petrified again.

As an arms dealer, he knows very well that weapon manufacturing is a systematic project, from design to materials to production line and finally to the test field. Given China's current industrial level, how can it be built?
"Of course I can't do it alone, so I need your company to build a steel factory! I'm in charge of investing the required funds, and your company only needs to build a factory building and purchase equipment. You see, your company has coal mines and iron mines. Labor costs in China are low enough, and your government needs a lot of steel. This is definitely a lucrative business. When you wave the check home, your eldest nephew may fall in love with you because of it. "

"You are simply a devil!" Lou Dehua shook his head and moaned in pain.

Tang Dao This is a typical picture poor dagger see!

This is his real purpose, to use the hands of the Germans to build a secret military factory in the Japanese-occupied area.

What a shit steel factory, it's just a fancy dress for someone's military factory.

"If additional funds are needed, I can also persuade Commander Song to use the other half of the funds!" Tang Dao smiled brighter than Chaoyang.

that would be $1500 million
The last bit of persistence in Lou Dehua's heart was also shattered by the huge number quickly calculated!
What?It will offend the Japanese, let them go to God!

Who the hell didn't help me suppress this demon who waved a check and smelled like money!
God: Blame me!
