Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 2 Buying a factory and attracting investment

(Chapter 2 was blocked, so I deleted it directly)

Received a sponsorship fee from Mustache.

With this check of 50 marks, it would be much easier for William to do something.

During the five or six years he was in the Middle East, all he came into contact with were top-notch Kong Bufenzi, and at the same time, the mercenary team he followed was also exposed to black trade.

What arms dealers, financial fraudsters, international smuggling giants, counterfeit banknote team.

Therefore, the factory opened by William will choose several of them.

War is about to break out, arms will always be huge profits, and there are also problems such as counterfeit money.

Smuggling projects are also key to the circulation of arms and counterfeit currency.

And these are all things he is proficient in.

The first firearm to target was the German G43 semi-automatic rifle.

William was prepared to get this semi-automatic rifle, which only appeared 5 years later.

There are also MG42 general-purpose machine guns and Czech light machine guns.

Don't underestimate the Czech light machine gun. It can be sold all over the world with a 30-round magazine.

Even the British cloth-wheel light machine guns are manufactured based on the Czech light machine guns.

There is also the cheapest Sten submachine gun. Of course, it must not be without a safety.

Otherwise the German army would not purchase it.

Walking on the street, observing the vacant factories everywhere.

This is Berlin's industrial area, and he asked the driver to deliver it here.

One of the vacant factory buildings came into William's sight.

The site is large enough. The square alone covers an estimated fifty acres. We can continue to expand the factory buildings. If conditions permit, we can also acquire some nearby factories.

The gate of the factory area is already rusty, and the other side is also overgrown with weeds. It seems that it has been idle for a long time.

A sign was wrapped with iron wire, and the words written on it had already begun to fade.

However, the phone number is still vaguely visible.

After memorizing the number, Edward found a phone booth.

He took out 10 pfennig coins from his pocket and stuffed it into the coin slot of the phone booth.

Started dialing the number according to the recorded number.

In a dilapidated apartment, an elderly man picked up the phone.

A look of joy appeared on his originally sad face.

He took out his last decent attire, a black suit, and put it on before trimming his scrawled beard in front of the mirror.

Then he picked up his top hat and dusted it off.

After putting on my top hat, I trudged downstairs with a cane.

Two hours later the old man came over in a carriage.

The reason it took so long was because he walked a long way before he was willing to ride in a carriage.

The carriage arrived in ten minutes, but his walking speed was slower.

"I'm sorry, Mr. William, for keeping you waiting."

The old man took off his top hat and apologized.

Looking at the pair of cracked but polished leather shoes under the old man's feet, you can tell that his financial situation is not good.

William understood after looking at the sweat stains on his forehead.

"You're welcome, Mr. Hans, I just arrived."

The old man stretched out his hand and looked at the seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground and understood.

His favorability towards William continues to rise.

He took out the key to the door from his pocket and opened the rusty iron lock.

Then the door creaked open.

"Mr. Hans, what did you do before?"

William asked curiously.

"Machining"

Old Hans raised his head and looked at the factory with cloudy eyes, recalling the high spirits of his youth.

"Machining is pretty good, why not do it?"

William nodded and continued to ask.

"Because of those damn worms!"

Old Hans growled with anger in his eyes.

"Moths?"

William still didn't understand what it meant. "Yes, moths, moths that suck German blood, they united to harm me and eventually led to my bankruptcy!"

Old Hans gritted his teeth and said.

The borers and blood-sucking insects he was talking about were the Itachi capitalists and bankers in Germany.

Old Hans was tricked by Itachi Tairen, a capitalist, and finally his banker cut off his loan, which directly led to the rupture of the capital chain. In the end, he was unable to recover and went bankrupt.

Many of the delivery rooms here were the good deeds of Itachi Tairen. After he came to power and started to rectify the situation, some factories continued to open.

But there are also some factories that have completely declined and cannot be opened anymore.

For example, Old Hans' factory cannot be opened anymore and he still owes money to the bank.

This is what you owe later, but you still have to pay it back.

These factories cannot be sold, so they remain idle here.

William took a detailed look at the whole factory and was very satisfied with it.

"Mr. Hans, at what price would you like to sell this factory?"

William asked after reading it.

"5 marks. In addition, I hope you can accept my son to work here. He has loved machinery since he was a child. The current job of delivering newspapers is not what he wants."

Old Hans said.

5 marks is a very cheap price to buy a piece of land as big as Berlin, even though it is an abandoned factory in an industrial area.

"can!"

William agreed without thinking.

"Thank you!"

Old Hans did not expect that William agreed without bargaining.

Then the two of them headed towards the bank together.

After cashing the check for [-] marks, he handed it to Old Hans.

The two also signed a transfer and sale contract with the bank.

William, who walked out of the bank, found that walking on his legs was too troublesome.

Then I took a taxi and went to the BMW factory.

I used 700 marks to buy a latest BMW motorcycle.

Buzz!
The motorcycle roared, which made William very satisfied.

Immediately after turning the accelerator, a burst of smoke and dust flew up and disappeared directly outside the BMW factory.

After having a motorcycle, it was much more convenient for William to go straight to the Chinese Consulate in Germany.

The guard at the door looked nervous when he saw a German coming on a motorcycle.

He stumbled forward and prepared to ask something.

"Hello! I'm looking for the person in charge here. Can you recommend him to me?"

William's fluent Mandarin almost didn't surprise the guard with a Fujian accent.

He was still speaking stammering German there, but here he was speaking fluent Mandarin and his ears were swollen.

"Ah? Oh, please come in."

For the Germans, these guards are still in awe, and there is no way for the country to be strong in other countries when it is weak.

Following the guard, he walked into the small two-story apartment where he was located.

One of the middle-aged men came out wearing a Chinese tunic.

"excuse me, you are?"

asked in fluent German.

"Hello, my name is William, and I'm here to cooperate with you, China!"

William spoke in Mandarin.

"Hello Mr. William, I didn't expect your Chinese to be so good Mr. William!"

The leading middle-aged man stretched out his hand in surprise.

"By the way, my name is Chen Zhiwen, and I am currently the director in charge of liaison affairs with Germany."

"Hello Director Chen! Nice to meet you"

"I am also Mr. William. I wonder what Mr. William wants to do with me?"

After the two parties shook hands and sat down, the guard immediately served tea. After the tea was brewed, Director Chen asked.

William was not in a hurry, but took a look at the tea and took a sip.

"Yeah! Not bad, Yuqian Longjing tea, good stuff."

William's words surprised Director Chen again.

Not to mention that he is a German, even most Chinese people cannot understand Yuqian Longjing Tea.
