Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Chapter 90: The Great Depression (9)

At full capacity, the Beta factory can produce 10 tons of paper products per day, and each 100-dollar banknote happens to weigh 1 gram. One million “green banknotes” weighs exactly 10 kilograms. Roughly calculated, this factory can produce 1 billion US dollars banknotes per day — the US dollars during this period are called “Federal Reserve Rolls”. Something about money or money.

However, in the case where only Lorraine works and Huang Xuan has only one labor, the Beta factory cannot produce even 1 ton of paper products per day. Due to the special nature of green banknotes, its output will also be reduced accordingly, but in any case There is no problem for the factory to produce more than 20 million US dollars every 12 hours. As for the cost, the government's mass production cost is about 4 cents, and the money-printing machine after Lorraine's transformation is much more expensive, requiring about 20 cents or more. But these have no effect.

Sitting in a remodeled bulky printing press, Huang Xuan looked at the information in the energy screen in front of him, and said: "Lorraine, please help me to contact Li Qing, uh, first contact Li Shenggang."

"It's 3am P112 now."

"Just now, time is expensive."

Li Shenggang shouldn't sleep yet. There is even some noise on the phone. Huang Xuan doesn't care about these things. This is very similar to his mother's personality. It has a clear distinction between public and private, and priority is given to completing work.

"I'm bothering you." Huang Xuan was energetic and said, "Is it convenient to speak now?"

"Convenient and convenient." Li Shenggang is now in charge of the four factories. Although each factory is losing money, he still feels very satisfied.

"Well. How is the situation of the factory?" Huang Xuanming asked for a reason. He knows the situation of the factory more than anyone else. Now the FOB price of aluminum ingots is rising every day, but the factory starts to lose 10,000 yuan a day. If it were not supported by his assets, it would have long been bankruptcy and liquidation.

Li Shenggang naturally has to suffer, talking about the problems of retired workers, about the problems of the directors, about the problems of supply and marketing ... Huang Xuan listened patiently for more than ten minutes. Just said: "Then I know, you have worked hard during this time. But the factory still can't stop working and run full horsepower. Find a way to apply for more power quota."

"This ..." Li Shenggang hesitantly glanced at his friend who was still having fun in the room. With a cruel heart, he patted his chest and said, "Relax, boss."

"I like your peace of mind." Huang Xuan encouraged in his unique way, saying: "Is the cash flow still normal? Is there any problem."

Since Huang Xuan asked, Li Shenggang said in the expected period: "Boss, the power consumption of the factory is almost peak recently. After checking the equipment, there is no problem. I also specifically asked the old workers, saying that a ton of aluminum used to have a little more than 10,000 degrees of electricity. That ’s enough. Now it ’s only 25,000 degrees to be able to do it. Is the equipment aging a little bit worse? In this way, more and more losses will be made. ”

That is a loss. Huang Xuan thought. After returning to China, the oil company in Brazil used a polished light and had to transform these electrolytic aluminum plants. With peace of mind, Huang Xuan said lightly: "You don't have to think about these issues, or as I said, all aluminum ingots are shipped to Brazil, and Hexin Industrial takes over."

"Understood, understood." Although Li Shenggang still didn't understand, he nodded again and again.

"That's good, come on dry." Huang Xuan said while hanging up the phone.

With the energy source, Lorraine was very motivated and quickly connected Li Qing ’s phone. This guy was sleepy and confused. Huang Xuan called twice and said directly, “Brother Qing, you ’ll help me tomorrow morning. Thank you for that. Several experts, by the way, let them do such a thing, or follow the requirements of the last time, all the models manufactured by GM in the 1930s are repeated, which kind of convenience is not necessarily all, but more benefits. "

This required Li Qing to be awakened all at once, but he saw the experts reviewing the data and revising the drawings. He had n’t waited for him to say anything again, and Huang Xuan remembered something, saying: "By asking them by the way, see Who can get the plane drawing, or the classic model of the 1930s, just get one first. If you do n’t know how to find someone, let my mother help, remember. "

This time, Li Qing was completely awake. Even if he had not read any aircraft manufacturing, he knew that the troublesomeness of this thing and the car are two concepts, but he did n’t wait for him to say anything. The phone hung up.

Li Qing looked at the phone and then the clock on his head, frowning like a swimming trunk that had not dried.

...

Leslie came to the factory very early, and the hair carefully brushed with lard regained its luster, just like his small belly, showing the owner's happy state of mind. Along with him were two trucks of various chemicals.

Hans called Huang Xuan out of the workshop. The latter kept rubbing his sore temple and tried it for a whole day last night. Although there was no problem, the noise was inevitable. After the transformation, the appearance of the printing machine has not changed. Lorraine transformed its main control parts into electronic products. It is doubtful that several people in this era can understand the complicated circuit diagrams.

Leslie's expression was happy. After seeing Huang Xuan, he took out two telegrams and said in a cheerful voice: "You actually knew Mr. Ford and Sloan. I received two telegrams from General Motors and Ford, both of which requested to be forwarded to Yours. "The Ford he said was naturally Edsel Ford.

Huang Xuan took it with a smile, the address here was informed through the combat veteran company. While speaking polite words such as breakfast, he opened the telegram bag. The contents of the two copies were similar. Ford invited him to meet at the Hilton Hotel. GM set the place to see you at the Pieters Hotel. Something of interest is here. "

It seems that the charm of Citroen TA is far better than that of V8. Huang Xuan once again thanked Leslie and personally sent it to the factory area. This old Californian is a talkative guy, especially when the other party can earn him money, his throat It's as if the piston of the F1 engine is up and down.

After sending away Leslie, Huang Xuan stood near the factory door. Hanging his head, he kept thinking about the information he had seen in the past few days and carefully deliberated.

In his plan, the sale of a second design drawing, or more, is not intended to make money. With this factory, he is constantly producing counterfeit currency that is more like real currency, but if it is less troublesome, especially buying some large-scale trading goods, he or she goes through the bank. Still need a reasonable source of assets.

Of course, the source of the drawing itself is also a problem. But there was Ford ahead, unless Ford's father and son were willing to risk taking thieves' stolen goods or something even more ugly. Otherwise, they will surely excuse themselves-Huang Xuan is very familiar with such business processes, just like Huang's funds often do.

Huang Xuan only needs a quiet week, hoping that any authority will not be in trouble this week. He believes that it is reasonable to pay more or get less.

"Hans." Huang Xuan raised his head and yelled through the process in his head. The lieutenant responded quickly, and his legs were straight, making Huang Xuan a little funny, and his nervous mood was relaxed.

"Look for a car, let's go to Hilton, and find someone to send a telegram to General Motors. Let them go to Hilton to see me."

"Okay." Hans found a taxi for Huang Xuan. This is an old T-car, but the car is very clean. The driver was well-dressed and polite. Since about 1907, there have been taxis using cars as tools in New York, which are billed according to mileage. This classic car that can only run 30 kilometers per hour opened Huang Xuan's horizons. In the new century, if you want to take a taste of this classic car again, the price can be higher than the first class.

Hilton Hotel.

Huang Xuan did not go to Ford's suite, but registered a business room himself, and made Hans invite members of Ford and GM.

Ford came to New York almost can be called a negotiating team, the representative is the sales director Stephen, the deputy is the development director Kent, in addition to this, there are more than 50 auxiliary personnel.

Relatively speaking, GM is much smaller in terms of number, but the level is not low. President Sloan personally flew to New York. Although he does not own GM shares like Ford ’s father and son, he will be Alver for 25 years. Red P. Sloan is still GM's most influential figure.

But it is no wonder that both parties attach importance to this transaction. The Ford V8 is only a year and a half later, and the Citroen TA is a model 4 years later-not to mention at the time, this is a very modern excellent industrial design.

Huang Xuan raised his head high, but his eyes were not arrogant. He was just telling the gentlemen present in his own way-you, you can ask me.

Stephen quickly adapted to Huang Xuan's young impulse. He took out the old Ford's plan: 450,000 US dollars, purchased complete drawings, and sent someone to guide the production until the first batch of TAs left the factory.

"So how much can you pay now?" Huang Xuan cares more about the immediate benefits, because he can't wait until Ford produces even one of the parts.

"US $ 100,000, sir." Stephen said to face Edsel: "We will pay US $ 100,000 each month afterwards. If the production cannot be successfully completed after 3 months, the remaining US $ 150,000 will be required. Deferred payment. "

"Then forget it." Huang Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's still my plan, 300,000 US dollars, one hand to pay, one hand to deliver."

Stephen also wanted to fight for it. Sloan owed his body and said, "It's just $ 300,000." Then he held out his hand.

In just a few minutes, he grasped Huang Xuan ’s mentality and surprised him a little, but it was also in line with Huang Xuan ’s plan. He blinked gently and held his hand with Sloan, saying: "The deal."

Stephen looked at the two in surprise, and he couldn't seem to believe that his hard work in the past two days had been lost. Without waiting for his expression, Huang Xuan smiled apologetically to him and said, "Is Ford also interested in other models?"

"Of course." There seemed to be a tendency for the peak to turn around, and Stephen immediately seized the opportunity.

"We have to wait another hour." Huang Xuan looked at his watch and said, "The drawings are still on the road, and they will be delivered after the meeting. Before that, we can talk about other transactions."

Stephen just breathed a sigh of relief and listened to Sloan: "Mr. Huang, are we trading in cash or through the bank?"

"Bank." Huang Xuan smiled, there is no easier way to deal with banks than deposits. Similarly, there are no institutions that will deal with American companies more easily than banks.

He looked at the seemingly dissatisfied Ford Development Director and smiled: "Is Mr. Kent satisfied with the last drawing?"

"That doesn't really explain the feasibility of your design ..." Kent's statement was more euphemistic than the last time. Huang Xuan couldn't help but accidentally glimpse Stephen kicking Kent with his feet.

The atmosphere was a bit cold, and the senior executives of the two competitors seemed to have few opportunities to sit together in this way, but it was Sloan's soothing scene: "Which bank do you want this money to be in?"

"Chase National Bank." Huang Xuan had long thought about this step.

For the Chinese, this American bank that has just entered the top 4 is unknown, but his owner, John D. Rockefeller, will make many people feel familiar, and his father, John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Petroleum, will make everyone feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The so-called Chase National Bank ~ www.readwn.com ~ is the predecessor of Chase Manhattan Bank, the financial pillar of the Rockefeller Consortium. Rockefeller Jr. created the Fair Trust Company a few years ago, and on this basis merged with Chase and ultimately controlled the board of directors. . As one of Rockefeller's excellent returns transactions, it was through this bank that part of GM's shares were purchased.

This is one of Sloan's most familiar banks. He mistakenly thought that Huang Xuan had already investigated the companies of both companies and couldn't help laughing.

Compared with Mr. Sloan, who is well-informed, Huang Xuan has many deficiencies in the distribution of negotiation strength, but this is already a great progress. As long as you think about it, you can communicate with perhaps the best manager in the world, and it will not fall. Wind is enough to make 16-year-old Huang Xuan proud.

The mood of Ford's people was a little low, Huang Xuan talked with Stephen intentionally or unintentionally, and Sloan inserted two sentences from time to time. The three parties behaved as if they had just met friends, but in fact, if Kent's "reins" were released The development director must have left the room indignantly.

The non-nutritive chat lasted for an hour. The Hans people finally sent the drawings to the room. Sloan asked Huang Xuan when he arranged for his men to check, "Are we going to the bank now?"

"Not in a hurry." Huang Xuan Mo smiled profoundly and said, "Do you know Hamer? Armand Hamer."
