"General Madan, here is $100 million. You check the check a priori."

Xia Han said as he pushed a check to the opposite Frenchman. When the French lieutenant general saw a series of zeros on the check, his eyes were a little dazzled, so he held it in his hand and carefully looked at it again and again. Although he is an expensive lieutenant general, Ma Dan's salary is only to maintain an ordinary life.

Especially after going through this cruel war, this lieutenant general has been tortured by death and has become a little numb. He hopes that he will never fight this kind of war again, and he must enjoy life well before he is completely old. , fine wine and beauties are his favorite things.

After Xia Han arrived in Europe, he has been trying to figure out the situation. After two months of investigation, he found out about Madan's status and his preferences. This general was in charge of the temporary management of the Ruhr area. He dismantled the factories and equipment. Single-handedly, the authority is astonishing.

For such a greedy and lustful general, money is the most attractive thing to impress him, Xia Han directly threw out a dollar check.Seeing Ma Dan who was extremely happy, Xia Han also showed a smug smile. These foreigners are nothing special, they are just as greedy.

"Your Excellency, as long as the steel plant equipment is delivered smoothly, another 100 million US dollars will be remitted to your account."

Hearing this, Ma Dan swallowed with difficulty, his eyes showed incomparable greed, and he asked suddenly: "Xia, don't you want to think about something else?"

"Oh?" Xia Han frowned, and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, what are you referring to?"

"Of course it's all kinds of machinery and equipment. I have countless equipment in my hand, not only steel factories, but also fertilizer factories and metallurgical factories. Machinery manufacturing factories, as long as you need them, you can trade them in this way."

This time it was Xia Han's turn to be surprised. It seems that this Frenchman is bolder than he imagined. He is a typical rich man who dares to sell anything. In fact, this is exactly what he wanted. Worry about not being able to get something good.

"Your Excellency, I only buy the most useful things. I'm afraid those factories are not as valuable as steel factories?" Xia Han played hard to get.

Who knew that Ma Dan was fooled directly.He hurriedly said: "Those factories are all very good. Although they are inferior to those in France, they are also very useful, and the price is easy to negotiate. I can ask for a little less!"

As soon as Madan said those words.I also feel that I am a bit like a street vendor, which is really detrimental to my identity.He could only add: "Xia. The peace conference has already been held. The damned United States and Britain demanded that France withdraw its troops from the Ruhr. They bastards have no idea how much the French paid for their victory. This place should belong to us!"

Xia Han also understood this time, this general knows that his power will expire at any time.So I want to get as much money as possible before that.

Xia Han frowned slightly, and then said: "Your Excellency, I will pay you another one-time payment of 500 million US dollars. You must fully cooperate with me to pull any machinery and equipment in the Ruhr area. This money I will deposit it in a special account in a Swiss bank for you, and you can withdraw it at any time, what do you think?"

500!After Ma Dan heard this number, his head was full of stars. He was already knocked out. This guy thought that it would be good for Xia Han to pay another 200 million, but he mentioned 500 million all of a sudden. How could he? Not ecstatic!

This kind of dignified lieutenant general immediately nodded again and again: "Don't worry, as long as I still manage the Ruhr area, you can do whatever you want, and the French side will do their best to provide convenience!"

Ma Dan thought he had picked up a big deal, and Xia Han was even more secretly happy, not to mention spending 500 million US dollars, even if he spent another 1000 million, he would admit it.The Ruhr area is the industrial center of Germany. In addition to large-scale steel factories, there are also a large number of machinery manufacturing plants, large-scale mining machinery, large-scale water forging presses and die forging presses, etc., which cannot be bought with money. baby.

When the plan was first formulated, Xia Han didn't dare to think about these things, but seeing that the French are so greedy, and Europe is the most disorderly time, the leaders of all countries gathered in Paris, and they are doing things for mutual benefit, like It's like a hawker, constantly arguing.

If you don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back all the equipment you need, you are committing a crime. Even if you don't need it temporarily, you have to transport it back to China for storage. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

After talking with Ma Dan, Xia Han immediately started preparations. He also knew that although the reconciliation time would not be short, it was still too short for the relocation of these machines and equipment. They must be coordinated and transported away as quickly as possible. .

He hurriedly found Kuang Rongguang and told him about the meeting with Ma Dan.After Kuang Rongguang finished listening, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that money alone could make a way out.

"The 700 million U.S. dollars is worth it, it's so worth it! With Ma Dan's permission, we can use the name of buying scrap iron and scrap machines to transport these treasures away. Usually tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars can't be bought. The baby that arrived, it can be bought for only a few million cabbage prices, it is really great, the most important thing now is to act quickly."

Xia Han also nodded and said: "The old officer specially arranged a transport fleet. The Rhine River just passes through here, so that the ships can reach the Ruhr directly, and then they can be loaded and transported away directly. Taking advantage of the current chaos, they can be transported back to China as soon as possible. !"

"Okay, let's do it like this. We've made a lot of money this time. After we go back, I'm afraid Zhuo Yan will be overjoyed!"

Zhang Tinglan has already made various preparations in order to buy the bottom in Europe. Xia Han and Kuang Rongguang are just a delegation to determine the procurement project. In addition, there are other personnel to cooperate with the action.

Among them are those in the banking system who are in charge of finance, those in charge of transportation, a special relocation team, and a professional research team. Everyone cooperates closely to form a tight whole. After Xia Han and the others make a decision, each The department began to operate efficiently.

The first to be moved on board were the two steel plants, which were the foundation of everything. After the steel plants were moved, Xia Han originally advocated moving the ammonia plant, but Kuang Rongguang stopped him.

"Xia Han, we have more important treasures to transport. These are things that money cannot buy. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it!"

"Mr. Kuang, tell me quickly, what is so important? More important than synthetic ammonia!"

"Forging press!" Kuang Rongguang spit out three words softly, Xia Han was still a little confused, Kuang Rongguang continued: "Forging press is a machine used to shape metal raw materials, simply speaking, it is to process large parts. Whether it is automobiles, ships, metallurgy, steel rolling, Chinese labor, military industry, as long as large-scale equipment is needed, large-scale forging presses are inseparable. It can be said that this is the treasure of the town and the foundation of industrial manufacturing. In the past, it was absolutely rich If we don’t get some of the things we can’t buy now, we won’t regret it!”

Xia Han's eyes lit up when he heard Kuang Rongguang's explanation, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Kuang, I will do as you say, but we can't take the small ones, we must get the best ones!"

"Don't worry, I've taken a fancy to a [-]-ton die forging press this time, which is the most advanced equipment in Germany. There are also two [-]-ton free forging hydraulic presses. These are all giant industrial machines , as long as we move back to China, we have a basic guarantee to produce all kinds of large-scale equipment. Moreover, the Japanese do not have this level of equipment at all. After we get it, the production efficiency can be increased by at least five times, and it can also Save half the raw material."

The more Kwong Rongguang introduced, the more Xia Han was tempted. At the beginning, Kwong Rongguang said that they only paid attention to the machines that produce products, but not the machines that produced them. You can produce and develop key equipment by yourself, and never have to be controlled by others.

Without these things, machinery and equipment are constantly moving forward, which means that equipment must be continuously imported from China, and they will never be able to truly be self-reliant!

"Mr. Kuang, don't say anything, let's act quickly, don't delay!"

After Xia Han and the others determined their strategy, they launched their actions as quickly as possible. Ships from all over the world kept coming on the Rhine River, and then they left Germany loaded with ship after ship of equipment, a considerable number of which were called by Zhang Tinglan. Some of these ships sailed under the banner of the United States, some under the banner of the Japanese, and some under the banner of Latin American countries. They crossed the ocean and headed for China.

After the relocation of the Ruhr area had some clues, Xia Han didn't rest, and ran to Paris non-stop. The French dismantled a lot of equipment and shipped them all back to China. Basics, Germany's machine tools are traditional strengths, and Xia Han is also coveted. After getting those key factories and equipment, if he can get some high-performance machine tools, everything will be perfect.

He had just arrived in Paris when he bumped into his old acquaintance Gu Weijun at the hotel where he was staying. He was sitting sullenly in a corner of the lobby.Being in a foreign land, it is also a kind of fate to meet by chance, and Gu Weijun is a diplomat, so he must know more news, so Xia Han walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Gu, let's meet again, it's always been great!"

Gu Weijun was taken aback when he saw Xia Han: "Mr. Xia, aren't you going to purchase equipment? Has everything been done?"

"I purchased a little, but you have to be careful when selling things, and use the money wisely. I have come to Paris to see the situation."

After taking his seat, Gu Weijun said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, your idea at the beginning was completely correct. The great powers are not reasonable at all. None of the seven conditions we put forward can be realized. What's more annoying is that we even Power cannot be retained, this victorious country is really meaningless!" After Gu Weijun finished speaking, he lowered his head and clenched his fists. (To be continued..)
