Chapter 185 The fantasy of the big guy (second update! Please give me a monthly vote!)

I'll be an important person

Every time, whenever he encounters a choice, Nikolayev will always say this to himself. He knows better than anyone about whether he can succeed. He is the branch manager of a Russian branch in a Chinese business, and the status of this branch is also very important. It took him a lot of effort to climb to this position. Although he is only the branch manager of Lianyungang, this new city, in his opinion, this is an opportunity.

And now, in Nikolayev's view, he has seized this opportunity.

“The most advanced, the best”

Continuous, extremely exaggerated words were spit out from Nikolayev's mouth.

As if he was afraid that the Captain Han next to him would not believe it, he hurried to the brand new field cannon, and the light green metal paint on the cannon body and shield reflected in the sun.

"... And the most important type m1902 field gun uses a new gas-type re-advance and back-up device, which allows it to fire shells at a rate of 24 rounds per minute. Compared with the Type 38 field gun adopted by Japan and the Krupp 1903 field gun widely used by your country, not only does it have a faster firing rate, but its shells are heavier. The Japanese-German field gun projectile weighs 6 kilograms, while its projectile weighs 6.23 kilograms, the shells are heavier and more powerful, and its range is longer, exceeding 8.5 kilometers,..."

When introducing the m1902 field gun he had worked hard to get from the Binhai Governor's District, Nikolayev couldn't help but recall his not very wealthy family. He was born in an ordinary family. If he had not received the support of the master, he would probably not have changed much in his life. At most, he became a small employee of a company. That was already very good. When he thought of the wealth this business brought to him, he laughed with confidence.

At this time, there were even spacious balcony and room in his mind, which was both the office of the foreign company and his apartment. Of course, it was the foreign company he founded himself.

In the past, he thought it would be a long journey to start his own foreign company. But now, he knows that the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of him. As long as this business is completed, he can own his foreign company. Soon after, he will be a major in a foreign company.

When he heard Nikolayev boasting in an extremely exaggerated tone, Han Wutian nodded indifferently, agreeing with Nikolayev's rhetoric. Han Wutian was not unfamiliar with the M1902-type field gun made in Russia. He had been exposed to this kind of gun when he was studying in Japan, but it was the spoils of the Japanese Russo-Japanese War.

This kind of artillery is indeed more advanced than Krupp's m1903 type and the 38 field gun that imitates Krupp's style, with faster firing speed, longer range and greater power, which is exactly the reason why he was not rejected.

"... Each door is 10,000 yuan, each 600,000 yuan, and each ammunition truck is 120,500 yuan, and each 180,000 yuan, and ten reserve vehicles are 320 yuan, and each 32,000 yuan, and each harness is 32,000 yuan. They are used to use artillery harnesses. For the front horses, 120 sets, each set of 350 yuan, and a total of 42,000 yuan, and the rear horses are 120 sets, 400,000 yuan, and each set of 48,000 yuan, and the same horses are 1902 grenade shotgun, with cartridges, 70,000 yuan, and each set of 20 yuan, and a total of 1400,000 yuan..."

While Nikolayev was holding the list for quotation, Tiel, an engineer from the Second Light Industry Machinery Factory, was inspecting the assembled artillery expert from the German Lufo Machinery Gun Factory.

"Nicolayev, this cannon also has...an old cannon"

He raised his head and held his glasses and pointed at several of the cannons and continued.

"These 31 guns may have fired more than 200 shells, so the price of guns must be reduced by at least 30..."

"What……"

Nikolayev was surprised and quickly explained.

"Sir Han, my price is 15% lower than the cheapest Japanese, and the unit price of shells is 30% lower. It can be said that in order to get this business, I have already offered the lowest price. As for old cannons, this, Chief Han, you should know that even if you buy cannons from the Japanese, the ones you buy are renovated old cannons, and the Germans are even more so, and they will sell you the price of new cannons, I already..."

Han Wutian smiled disregardlessly about Nikolayev's explanation. He was telling the truth. Both Japan and Germany often export old equipment that was eliminated by their own army. After a little renovation, it will be sold with new equipment.

"alright,"

After waving his hand, Han Wutian looked at Nikolayev and said.

"Let's settle the price we agreed on, but Mr. Nikolayev"

Looking directly at the other party, Han Wutian's expression gradually became serious when Nikolayev showed joy.

“I hope this is the last time”

"When, of course, we..."

Pressing the excitement in his heart, Nikolayev answered, but listened to Han Wutian.

"Is there anything else that Mr. Nikolayev has? If not, a gentleman will summon you"

"Summon me?"

Sitting on the sofa, Nikolayev looked at the surprisingly young man in front of him. He was Li Zicheng, the founder and owner of the city.

However, in Nikolayev's view, the young man lying on the hospital bed in front of him was even more noticeable and afraid that he had the wealth he had.

"Mr. Li, if I know I am here to pay my respects, I will definitely prepare a gift. Please forgive my misogynistic behavior."

Nikolayev said respectfully, and he understood that if he could get the help of the person in front of him, he could only get the wood supply, and he could bring himself in hundreds of thousands of Chinese silver dollars every year, not to mention...

"Sorry, because of your physical condition, I can only meet you here."

To apologize, Li Zicheng sighed in his heart, sitting in a wheelchair and lying on the hospital bed, all for the purpose of creating hypotheses, especially in front of outsiders.

"Mr. Nikolayev, I heard that you are going to run a foreign business by yourself?"

Li Zicheng admired the Russian in his forties in front of him quite well, and more so he admired his courage. His courage was fully demonstrated in the arms trade he had just reached. Other foreign managers had no problem buying guns, but they all felt embarrassed when buying cannons. In the end, Nikolayev, who was usually only supplying wood, took the initiative to find the company and said that he wanted to give it a try.

With the idea of ​​seeking medical treatment in a hurry, the company did not refuse and gave him 100,000 yuan in funding. The fundamental reason for urgent need of artillery is that the domestic situation is urgent, and Lianyungang must have a certain ability to protect themselves in order to survive in the upcoming troubled times.

Although the Second Light Industry Machinery Factory is developing artillery, due to the limitations of raw materials and other reasons, artillery cannot be manufactured in March and two months, and purchasing from abroad is the only way to solve the problem. However, Lianyungang is different from local warlords. Local warlords can buy artillery through foreign businesses. They also have that power, but Lianyungang cannot.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, I hope my foreign company and your company can continue to cooperate like in the past."

Nikolayev's meaning is very simple, he wants to take over the timber business in Lianyungang. As for the arms, it is just a risk he has accumulated. He really doesn't want to take the same risk again. After all, once something happens, it will be enough for him to lose everything in Russia or China.

"If you have done me a favor, I will also do you a favor. If you set up your own foreign company, then you can entrust all the wood purchases to you,"

"Li, Mr. Li..."

Seeing Nikolayev's face look surprised, Li Zicheng smiled and pointed at the tea cups in front of him.

"In the first half of this year, Lianyungang imported 650,000 yuan of wood. If I estimate it well, your profit should be 15, a year, at most 200,000 yuan."

this……

Nikolayev smiled awkwardly. The profits of the wood business are limited, but it is impossible to start a foreign company to do only the wood business, it is okay...

"Even if you do other businesses, the profit of 300,000 yuan per year may be the greatest potential of foreign companies in the next five years."

Looking at the other party with a smile, Li Zicheng spoke from time to time. The Security Department had handed over the information of this person. He was an adventurer from Russia who wanted to make a fortune. For such a person, he came here to pursue wealth for the people, and now he would "send" him a fortune.

"Liuhe is preparing to set up a company, well, trading company, of course, the purpose of this trading company is to explore overseas markets, such as the Russian market..."

As he opened his eyes slightly, Nikolayev muttered in his heart, Mr. Li meant...

"Last year, Russia imported 483 locomotives from Germany, the United States, Japan and France. In the first half of this year, 77 locomotives were imported from Japan alone. The price was as high as 10 million yen, and now..."

Smiling Li Zicheng supported himself and looked directly at Nikolayev.

"Now Lianyungang can also make locomotives, and they are more advanced than Japanese locomotives, with a larger load and faster speed. How about it? Are you interested in trying it?"

Try it? What does he mean? During Nikolayev's surprise, Li Zicheng continued to say.

"According to the customs of foreign companies, the manager's commission for mechanical products is within 5 million, more than 5 million yuan, more than 7 million yuan, more than 10 million yuan, more than 1 million yuan, a year."

One million a year

His eyes widened, and Nikolayev felt a sluggish voice and could not speak. He knew this was... this was an opportunity, if, if...

Looking at Nikolayev with a smile, Li Zicheng knew that he could not refuse this temptation. The reason why he chose to help the company open up the international market was because he was attracted by his "adventurous desire". A small timber dealer opened up the joints within three months and pulled out a batch of arms from the Russian arsenal. Then, he could convince the other party to deliver the goods first and pay later to be a person, no matter how he looked at it, at least in opening up the market, especially in the official market.

Russia is a backward power, but it has a developed railway transportation system. However, its locomotive manufacturing industry is quite backward. Locomotives of 70 rely on imports and import 500 locomotives every year. If vans include them, it will be a market of nearly 100 million yuan a year, with a profit margin of more than 60, which is definitely a big piece of fat.

Now it is a perfect time to open up the Russian market. Next year, as soon as the world war begins, Russia will not be able to import locomotives from France, Britain, Germany, but it can only import locomotives from the United States and Japan, and there are more. If you can sell locomotives from Lianyungang in Russia now, after next year, only exporting locomotives to Russia can bring tens of millions of yuan in profits a year.

More importantly, after the war begins, Russia, which has no more choices, will even have to import machinery, equipment and weapons from third-rate industrial countries like Japan. After that, it can use locomotives to open its reputation as "Made in China" and export more commodities and even arms to Russia.

"Li, Mr. Li, I..."

Faced with a million temptation, Nikolayev hesitated. He could not refuse this opportunity, but in his heart, he was more eager to own his foreign business, rather than just doing something like now...

How could Li Zicheng not know why Nikolayev hesitated? He wanted to own his own company.

"You can obtain the product agency rights of Liuhe Company in Russia"

He wanted to have his own foreign company, and he wanted him to help him develop the Russian market, but this market only lasted for four years, at most five years.

"this……"

"And you can also sell goods to other countries. Of course, as long as you have this ability, even if you sell Liuhe Manufacturing products to the whole world, I will not stop you..."

He had a very sincere smile on his face, but at this time Li Zicheng did not talk about any agency rights. The Russian market would sooner or later be lost. As for the foreign market, the company does not understand it now and needs to slowly develop it. It would be nice to let Nikolayev take the lead. As long as he can open the market, as a commodity supplier, he will be able to control the market in the end.

"Okay, Mr. Nikolayev, you can go back and think about it. Tomorrow, I will ask for your reply tomorrow."

After saying that, Li Zicheng nodded to Zhang Wenzheng who had just entered the house. The rest depends on how he chose. He has given him a chance, and it depends on whether he can seize it.

"Mr. Lee,"

Nikolayev gritted his teeth and looked at Li Zicheng lying on the bed.

"Thank you very much for the opportunity. Please believe that you will not regret your choice."

"Nicolah, I believe you won't."

A few minutes later, Zhang Wenzheng, who sent Nikolayev away, walked in again and took out a telegram from his briefcase.

"Telection sent by Chairman and Secretary-General Li of the Security Department"...
