Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 300 Andre's Order (Proofread)

The dim street lamps, together with the lights of the buildings on both sides, illuminate both sides of China Avenue like gold sprinkled all over the earth.

Zhu Chuanwen strolled on the sidewalk with a few guards. This is Hanyao's lair. If there is a big fanfare here and a small team of guards, then what is the significance of the existence of pickets and hunters.

Walking past a construction site under construction, Zhu Chuanwen poked his neck to take a look, and continued walking.After several years of demolition and reconstruction, China Avenue has already highlighted the exotic style. Many European-style buildings are located on both sides. In addition to the very characteristic parapet on the top floor, there are also overhanging balconies that often double as entrance awnings. It is very refreshing. These buildings Most of the owners and businessmen are Russian.

There are also a small number of vassal merchants from the Qing Dynasty who built similar buildings, but these are more like absorbing all the nutrients of the combination of Chinese and Western. Among them, the outstanding ones have porcelain houses, and there is the Hanyao headquarters building complex that is being newly built just now that Zhu Chuanwen probed, this building It was built by Ke Sijia and a craftsman from the Qing Dynasty. It took the shape of ancient Chinese buildings and used Western building materials and construction techniques and techniques to build it. It is one large and four small, located in four directions, and formed an arched guard style.It has already started to be built next to the old Hanyao building, and the land has been bought.

The door of the Modern Hotel is a revolving copper door, and there is a doorman for reception all year round. When seeing Zhu Chuanwen, the Russian doorman was already prepared, took a deep breath, straightened his back, and used his best Mental outlook reception.

A tip of 5 rubles is always prepared by Zhu Chuanwen, and he handed it over after entering the door.

The waiter who responded inside perfectly completed the handover, and after hearing that it was a private room, he led the way in front.

Looking at the waiter, Zhu Chuanwen felt that his face was very familiar. Following the waiter's secret gesture, it also let the leader of the hunter department understand that he was really one of his own, so he couldn't help but smiled knowingly.

From the hall to the second floor is a grand "herringbone" staircase, walking upwards.

"Vice President Zhu!" A loud shout filled the ears of Zhu Chuanwen who was going upstairs. Who would shout like this in this place?
A foreign face trotted out, and it was Madiel's boss, Joseph Capps, a Russian Jew.

"Mr. Capps." Zhu Chuanwen nodded gently.

"Vice President, you didn't give any notice in advance when you came here." Joseph's tone seemed to be a bit complaining, but in fact his position was very humble.With a gesture, the waiter who was originally leading left early, went to open the door of the private room, and watched the two from afar.

A person like Zhu Chuanwen should be led by Joseph himself, and after seeing the private room, he understood the reason for coming here.No wonder, only General Andre can let the Ice City talker like Vice President Zhu come in person.

Today, the Russians doing business in Bingcheng regard it as an honor to know Zhu Chuanwen. Even Joseph Karpus, who believes in Judaism, sometimes can't help thinking that this business talent of the Qing Dynasty is really amazing. There is no one in ten thousand. In just a few short years, Hanyao's faction has now occupied 4/1 of the ice city, and counting the Russian businessmen who cooperated, half of the productivity of the ice city is controlled by this In the hands of a 20-year-old young man.

Although young, who in today's ice city would dare to underestimate this God of Wealth.

"It's also General Andre's meeting." Zhu Chuanwen said, if the hotel owner doesn't know who is receiving important people today, then the business is really over.

"I always wanted to thank the vice president in person, but I never had the chance. Vice president, this is the new membership card of the Modern Hotel." Joseph said while showing the membership card number 003 to Zhu Chuanwen.

Zhu Chuanwen is not called the God of Wealth in the Ice City for nothing. Just because of Zhu Chuanwen's point, the turnover of Modern Hotel keeps rising.

As a comprehensive entertainment center with cinemas, dance halls, coffee shops and other facilities, it is still open to most civilians. Even with the rental of conference rooms, Joseph still cannot reach the core of power in Bingcheng.

But at the two annual meetings of Hanyao, Zhu Chuanwen made two suggestions.

One is the setting of private rooms, which was not expected at the beginning of the opening of the Modern Hotel. The year before last at the Hanyao Annual Meeting, when Zhu Chuanwen was slightly drunk, the appearance of this Jew opened up his chatter box, and he made a rare suggestion: " Mr. Capps, I think you can try to mess with the private room."

In this case, after careful consideration, Joseph Capps decided to give it a try. It took half a year from the decoration to the official opening of the luxurious Louis XIV-style box. The poor management at the beginning made the Jew suspicious for a while. But as the president of Bingcheng, the chief of police, the manager of the railway bureau, the merchants of the Qing Dynasty, etc. all shuttled back and forth here, the soaring turnover made him admire this business genius again.

Coupled with the arrival of Andre later, the military group made Joseph come into contact with all kinds of power cores in the ice city, and the reputation of the Modern Hotel began to be famous in the upper layers of the ice city.

Last year's Hanyao annual meeting, Joseph was even free of bills, and devoted himself to serving all the shopkeepers of Hanyao. Zhu Chuanwen naturally saw such dedication, and rarely mentioned a membership system.

"This is your Madier's membership card. It's a quick move." Zhu Chuanwen accepted the gold membership card and said with a smile.

"It all depends on Vice President Zhu's suggestion." Joseph said humbly. There are only four gold membership cards, namely Berg, the president of the Ice City Council, Andre, the garrison commander, Zhu Chuanwen, the vice president, and the police station. Secretary.The rest are made of silver and copper, and it is not yet known what role such cards will play.

Walking through the majestic aisle, "Mr. Capps, the architecture of your private room is very distinctive," Zhu Chuanwen talked about the grandeur of this private room.

Louis XIV style, deeply influenced by Italian Baroque style, has a unified, orderly, merged or vertical or horizontal style. Used on the top of the wall, the coffee table with head and strange face, and the table legs all speak of luxury.

"Vice President Zhu, as long as you like it. At Hanyao's annual meeting that day, I saw that you were drunk at the end, so I didn't come forward to disturb you." After climbing the stairs and entering the aisle, Joseph stepped back a little. Step, follow closely.

"Yeah, I drank a little too much that day." Zhu Chuanwen was a little annoyed. He didn't know when toasting became popular in the Hanyao Department. One drink per person really made him a little overwhelmed.

"The general will be here later?" Joseph asked softly when he arrived at the box, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Yeah, it's probably half an hour, I'll sit down for a while, you go get busy."

"Then I wish you both a pleasant meal." After finishing speaking, Joseph bowed and exited. It would be fine to show up for a while, and wait for Andre at the door now.

Zhu Chuanwen looked at the waiter who also bowed and exited, and looked at the dim lights below to illuminate the street. Not long after, someone pushed the door and entered. It was Doug. Andre in military uniform.

Andre took it for granted, but it was still a little surprised: "Look, Doug, you lost me a gold ruble."

Andre started 20 minutes early today for a bet with Doug. He bet that Zhu Chuanwen had arrived, but Doug was not.

The British have their own concept of time. They have a saying to explain things like time.

In the final analysis, it is actually because of the saying "time is money".

So in Doug's view, it's a decent thing to arrive on time, let alone ahead of time.

Although Mr. Zhu, his friend, is always on time.With this 1 gold ruble, Doug was convinced, and the character of Zhu Chuanwen in his heart was once again elevated.

"Your Excellency, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay." Andre sat down at the head of the long table, and Doug immediately took over from the waiter and started the service in the room.

Last year, a major event happened in Andre's family. Andre's father, who was the Duke, took over as the Russian Minister of War. There were advantages and disadvantages.For Andre's family, this promotion already shows Nicholas II's reassurance for Andre's family; but it also shows that Andre in the Far East will not be able to return in a short time.

"However, I heard that Mr. Zhu is very busy recently. Hanyao's iron factory is already able to officially produce Mosin Nagant, Maxim and Krupp guns?" Andre narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Chuanwen. I got the news a long time ago.

"Your Excellency, as you know, Master Xu Shichang also entrusted me with a task of providing bullets for the Yuannian rifle." Zhu Chuanwen had originally planned to use Xu Shichang to prevaricate Andre, but the development of the matter far exceeded expected.

"Okay, there is no other meaning, business is business, you understand!" Andre slapped Zhu Chuanwen without a trace while rinsing his mouth with water.

"Understood, General, business is business."

Although the northern part of the Kanto region is the sphere of influence of the Russians, the center of gravity of Russia from top to bottom is still the European region. Since the signing of the agreement between Britain and Russia, Nicholas II has actually begun to actively prepare for war in addition to suppressing the country. The banner of Slavism is aimed at the expansion of the Balkan Peninsula.

The current map of Europe is not as broken as it was after the Second World War. Now the shadows of those small countries are invisible. The eastern part of Russia borders Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the invisible waves, all countries are actively Prepare for war.

"So, what is the output of your arsenal now?"

Yield?The Russians asked this is it?Zhu Chuanwen was thinking in his heart, but he said, "Your Excellency, there are about 2 Mosinganas produced every year." This has deliberately lowered the output. After that, by the end of this year, the gun factory's output can roughly reach an annual output of 5.

"So many?" But it was obvious that Andre was a little surprised by the already discounted output, and then a burst of joy appeared on his face, and he waved to Doug, and Doug took out a piece of paper from nowhere come out. "This is the production license of Mosingana. By the end of this year, I need 3 Mosinganas. Can you provide it?"

"Ah?" Zhu Chuanwen was stunned for a moment, took the permission sheet full of Russian, and thought about it when he saw the last name with the same surname as Andre.Intelligence from European countries can only be collected through newspapers, and the Minister of War's evaluation in European newspapers is not good.

A duke who was promoted by relying on his title and blocking the bullet for Nicholas II was generally bad-mouthing in Europe.

What is the situation of the Russian gendarme today, it has become a laughing stock in Europe.The European gendarme beaten down by the dwarf?Don't be funny.

The Russian Army has more than 130 million standing troops. There is a clear difference in Russia's current equipment between the East and the West. Because of the Russo-Japanese War, Nicholas II equipped the Far East Army with a large number of new Mosinganas. The Western Army has not yet been completely replaced. Pack.

The production line in Russia cannot meet the assembly of your own troops?It is indeed a reality that has to be faced. To put it bluntly, the Russian army is equipped with new firearms from top to bottom on the one hand, and on the other hand is reselling them everywhere. Which one is not the Mosingana that is circulating in the market in Mongolia and northern Kanto? The firearms sold by these generals and quartermasters are considered a Russian tradition.

When can a place of running water be filled?But the tradition is such a tradition, and it cannot be reversed in a short time. Andre, who appeared in the ice city, began to think of ways to support and support his father.

Since the middle of last year, Andre has been watching with a cold eye. Every time the gun factory is expanded, the plan in his heart is constantly being formed.

In response to the Russian army's change of outfit, Andre proposed a two-step strategy in the letter he sent. One is to lead and the other is to block. It is one aspect to introduce running water from the ice city, and the other is to start a strict investigation of ordnance.Now, Andre finally felt that the plan was mature, and began to meet Zhu Chuanwen.

"Can you deliver 3 Mosinganas?" Andre asked Zhu Chuanwen again in a daze.

"Yes, General, there should be 3 Mosinganas for delivery by the end of the year."

"Okay, send 20 of your firearms to the garrison later. I want to see with my own eyes whether the quality of the firearms produced by your ironware factory is up to standard. If they are not up to standard, this order will be void." Andre was in a good mood, but at the same time he did not forget Beat Zhu Chuanwen again.

"Understood, General, I will arrange it tomorrow. I guarantee that the quality of the firearms in the future will be as good as these 20." Zhu Chuanwen originally wanted to explain that the gun factory's heart was suddenly put in his stomach, holding the Mo Singana's production license, so Hanyao can also be said to be Russia's ordnance supplier in the future?

I have to say that the timing is really good at this time. European countries are expanding their military, but Hanyao has chosen 7.62, the standard of the Russian army.

This has become a magic weapon for Andre's off-site layout. Gun manufacturing, in various countries, is actually a liberal attitude, and it is fueled by the Ministry of War of each country. government tied together.Andre's father, the Minister of War, wanted to start changing the domestic ordnance industry at this time, but the ordnance industry had been tied up with the generals for many years, and it was difficult to get the firearms delivered to the army in the short term, but Nicholas II Shi's change-up plan will not be interrupted because of this, and how many change-ups can be completed means Andre's father's ability to work.

　What is time?Is it something to save, spend or waste like money?Or is it, like the weather, something beyond our control?Is the time the same all over the world?You'll say, that's a simple question, no matter where you go, a minute is 1 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 60 hours, and so on.Well, maybe so.But in America, time means more than that.Americans view time as an important resource, maybe that's why they like to say "time is money".
