MTL - Rebirth of the Flying Era-Chapter 989 Fire equipment
Chapter 989 Fire Equipment
Seeing Vincent, Du Fei also went up to give him a bear hug.
After a simple greeting, Vincent began to introduce others: "This is Mr. Norman from Canada!"
"Henry Norman~" The bearded man stretched out his hand and said his full name politely.
Du Fei enthusiastically shook hands with him: "Comrade Bethune!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Henry Norman laughed first: "Misterdou, I knew that Bethune was very famous in your country, but not many people know his full name~"
Others realized why Du Fei called him Bethune.
After this episode, the strange atmosphere was broken.
Du Fei became acquainted with Henry Norman.
Then everyone drove to the guest house of the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission.
After making arrangements for Henry Norman's people, Vincent finally came out with Du Fei alone, and whispered outside: "How are your preparations going?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've made arrangements here."
Vincent breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, because Henry was coming temporarily, he was a little nervous along the way.
This time Henry Norman came directly, almost equivalent to the ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws directly.
If there is no Henry, even if there is any problem on Du Fei's side, Vincent, as a partner, can help cover it up.
The **** decides the head, and now Vincent and Du Fei have the same interests, so it doesn't matter what nationality or race to him.
Du Fei also added: "The effect is better than expected."
Vincent's eyes lit up, and his eyes rolled: "Hey, Du, we are friends, no, brother, buy Buruad!"
Du Fei was surprised, what kind of style is Vincent?
But he said: "Of course, we are brothers!"
Vincent hehe said: "Brother, do you know why Henry came here suddenly this time?"
Du Fei's heart moved. It was obvious that there was something inside. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over. He said calmly, "The situation over there is tense?"
Although Du Fei has no news from Canada, it is not difficult to guess through analysis.
Vincent took it, took out the lighter and lit it for Du Fei first, then for himself, took a puff and said, "Of course, the beauties may have to intervene."
Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knows a little about Quebec, mainly the contradiction between French-speaking and English-speaking.
The neighbor in the south of Canada has always been ambiguous about this matter.
However, this is not important to Du Fei.
The important thing is what does Vincent want to do?
Du Fei remained calm, already guessing the clue in his heart.
Now the pressure on Henry Norman's side must be great.
Vincent wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, but he needed Du Fei to cooperate with him.
Sure enough, Vincent revealed his plan while smoking a cigarette.
Du Fei listened carefully, curling his lips secretly.
What the heart says about the ally camp is worthless in the eyes of these black-hearted capitalists.
But Du Fei has no mental cleanliness. As a "friend", of course he has to cooperate with Vincent, but... extra money is required.
Vincent didn't naively think that a "not as good as Ade" can buy Du Fei.
Be prepared for Du Fei's request for 'more money'...
That night, Du Fei hosted a banquet for Vincent and Henry in Quanjude. Old Fen wine was served with roast duck, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
After the show ended, Du Fei, who pretended to be drunk, immediately went to see Dad Zhu in high spirits.
At the same time, Henry Norman, who had just been sent back to the guest house, saw his cloudy eyes clear up.
In his room, there was a middle-aged white man in his forties who poured him a glass of water and asked, "Are you okay?"
Henry waved his hand and drank the water: "It's okay."
The middle-aged man said: "How is the situation?"
Henry frowned and said: "I have seen it on the train along the way. The situation on the flower planting side is not good. The harder it is for them to support, it is difficult to help us against those annoying red necks."
The middle-aged man pursed his lips, but still had a glimmer of hope: "What about Du today? What's his attitude?"
They knew Du Fei's background before they came.
Hope that through Du Fei, the information will be conveyed to the flower planting executives.
Henry looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "This man is different from other flower growers. He doesn't value ideas, but benefits."
Speaking of this, Henry Norman turned his head to look at his companions, and said with some frustration: "I have a hunch, we're afraid... it's going to be a waste of time."
On the other side, Du Fei met Dad Zhu in the office.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Dad Zhu hadn't left work yet.
Du Fei came over with ease, and Dad Zhu just took the opportunity to take a rest.
Papa Zhu is very busy recently.
Du Fei entered the room and saw Dad Zhu stretching himself, and called out "Dad".
"Xiao Fei is here~" Dad Zhu responded, smelling the smell of alcohol on Du Fei, and asked the secretary to make a cup of tea for him.
Du Fei knew that Dad Zhu's time was precious, so he sat down and went straight to the point, and explained the situation just now.
Papa Zhu sighed.
Obviously, if you do something in Laomei's backyard, you will definitely be able to contain the other party.
Unfortunately, Zhonghua doesn't have that strength at all now, and it's not a good thing to stretch your hands too far.
As for Vincent's money-losing plan, Dad Zhu seems to be just making a fuss and doesn't care at all.
Du Fei also knew, so he just mentioned Vincent in passing.
Then asked: "Dad, you said that Henry is there, how should we respond? Do you want to meet?"
Papa Zhu waved his hand and said, "It's fine if we meet, they can't quarrel."
Du Fei let out a "hmm".
In his impression, Henry and the others would fail soon, and they didn't cause many waves.
But that doesn't stop you from making some money on them before then.
The next day, according to the original plan, Du Fei took Vincent and Henry to a shooting range in the suburbs to demonstrate the new mortar.
Factory 8270 has a security level, foreigners are not allowed to enter.
Besides, Du Fei would not easily show his hole cards.
On the shooting range, in addition to Du Fei and the other three, there was Wang Bin, the army representative.
The soldiers in charge of operating the mortar were all recruited by Wang Bin.
Different from the previous time when he was hit in the factory hastily, this time he seemed more formal and rigorous.
At least it looks quite ritualistic.
Henry and Vincent both have military backgrounds.
Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.
Both of them are experts. Looking at the newly painted barrel and gun mount, they can tell that it is an ordinary 60-point mortar.
This made Henry frowned, but he was calm and didn't say anything.
Until a moment later, there were two "booms".
Henry, holding a telescope, opened his mouth wide in an instant.
Including Vincent, also showed a surprised expression.
Although Du Fei has said more than once, this new mortar is very powerful.
But Vincent and Henry's inner arrogance never thought that planting flowers could develop world-leading equipment.
They wouldn't be here at all if they had no choice.
However, at this time, the contrast effect of the two mortars made them feel incredible!
After ten rounds were fired, Vincent and Henry immediately asked to see the impact point.
Du Fei readily agreed.
Since you are sincerely selling money, there is no need to hide it.
Several people walked over on foot, because the range of the mortar is not short, Henry is relatively fat, with a big belly, and he was already panting when he got there.
He didn't care, looked at the crater made by the mortar, and kept saying "buy cake, buy cake~"
I didn't expect that the 60 mortar can produce this effect.
A gun barrel with a diameter of 60 mm can be carried by one person, and it is lighter than a heavy machine gun.
It is definitely a good hand for guerrilla warfare.
Even Vincent followed suit, thinking about potential clients.
Du Fei laughed and said, "You two, how about it, our new cannon is okay~"
Henry nodded again and again, he did not try to belittle the mortar in order to lower the price.
Now, for them, the price is not important, the real thing is that they can buy it.
And Henry was also very direct, and quickly mentioned the price.
Du Fei looked at Vincent and said with a smile: "Mr. Norman, you have found the wrong person. I have already agreed with Vincent that I will be in charge of production and he will be in charge of sales..."
Vincent took the opportunity to pick up the conversation: "Mr. Norman, you have also seen that the power of this new type of mortar has completely surpassed the same type of weapons in other countries in active service. In terms of price...hehe, it must not be cheap, fifty thousand dollars a piece Set, add a base shell to the launcher."
"Fifty thousand dollars?" Henry frowned, obviously not agreeing with the price.
If you buy 100 sets, it will cost 5 million dollars, and one base shell is definitely not enough.
He could see that the key to this new type of mortar was the shells, and he would definitely have to buy additional shells.
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Du Fei.
Du Fei spread out his hands, expressing his innocence and powerlessness.
In the end, the two sides bargained and decided to buy 150 sets of mortars in the name of imported 'fire fighting equipment' at a price of 40,000 US dollars each.
Plus each set of shells with three bases, a total of 10 million additional orders.
Nearly doubled the total order value this time, to $22 million.
Converted into RMB, it is nearly 80 million.
Du Fei is of course very satisfied with this result.
The net profit of the 80 million contract was nearly half. According to the original agreement, Vincent took 50%, which was about 20 million.
The other 20 million went to the account of the fire equipment company and turned over to the state.
The remaining 40 million is the factory cost, which has nothing to do with Vincent.
But in fact, the entire cost of the equipment sold to Canada was less than 20 million.
To be precise, it will exceed 14 million.
Here is another 26 million hidden profits.
Such a large sum of money, of course, cannot be withheld.
Du Fei estimated that the bulk must be turned over, leaving a maximum of 6 million fractions, which can be kept in the account of the fire fighting equipment company.
When Du Fei called to report the situation, even Zhu's father stood up from his chair, holding the phone and excitedly said: "How much!"
Du Fei repeated: "Forty million! After removing the production cost, at least forty million can be handed over!"
"Okay!" Dad Zhu shouted excitedly.
Lou Hongyi just received 30 million from Lou Hongyi, and now Du Fei’s newly established firefighting equipment company has placed a large order of 80 million.
Not counting the overseas students sent by the Orientals before, the number has already exceeded 100 million.
What a concept!
Originally to defend the north, this year's economy must be more stretched.
Unexpectedly, the variable Du Fei came out, not only drove several half-dead factories through orders, but also directly increased tens of millions of unplanned funds.
For a country, tens of millions is a drop in the bucket.
But like the straw that broke the camel's back.
It was like the two armies were at a stalemate in front of the formation, and a new force suddenly came out, and the effect was obvious.
Papa Zhu put down the phone and even burst out laughing.
At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Jietai~ What a happy thing, I heard you laughing in the courtyard."
Zhu's father greeted him immediately: "Mr. Zhou, it is indeed a good thing, my son-in-law..."
However, no one expected that when Dad Zhu was in high spirits, an unexpected visitor came to Du Fei.
Sent Vincent and Henry back to the guest house, and Du Fei returned to the unit happily.
As soon as he finished talking with Dad Zhu on the phone, Zhang Wenzhong walked in quickly.
Du Fei was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, what's the matter?"
Zhang Wenzhong said: "Manager, a foreigner came outside and said he wanted to find you."
Du Fei frowned: "Foreigner?"
He wondered where the foreigner came from, and asked, "Which country and what do you do?"
Zhang Wenzhong said: "He claims to be Bush, and he is from the Swiss History Museum."
"Bush?" The name was quite familiar, which aroused Du Fei's interest, and asked, "Where is he?"
Zhang Wenzhong said: "It's outside~ Old Zheng and Xiao Wu are with you."
Du Fei nodded. This kind of foreign guests is still quite sensitive, and they must never meet alone.
Du Fei came to the front yard, and through the open door, he saw three people sitting in the reception room of the west wing.
One of them was a tall, middle-aged white man in his forties who was very eye-catching.
Seeing this person, Du Fei couldn't help frowning slightly.
At first I thought it was just a coincidence that they had the same surname, but when I saw this person, it seemed that it was not that simple.
But that person is from the United States, how did he become from Switzerland?
Du Fei walked over suspiciously.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, and Zheng Qingchun and Wu Hongqi didn't have much to say.
Until seeing Du Fei, the two immediately stood up and called "Manager".
The middle-aged white man also got up from his chair and introduced himself in English with a smile.
Wu Hongqi knew that Du Fei could understand, but after waiting for two seconds and seeing that Du Fei didn't respond, she immediately took the initiative to translate.
After listening to the translation, Du Fei stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Mr. Bush, nice to meet you~"
Shaking hands with Du Fei, Bush said, "It's an honor for me too, Mistedou."
After greeting each other, several people sat down again.
Du Fei said: "Mr. Bush, are you Swiss?"
Bush hesitated, and replied: "Sorry, I'm actually a beauty."
Du Fei didn't expect the other party to point it out directly.
Zheng Qingchun and Wu Hongye who were present were taken aback.
Who is the biggest enemy of planting flowers now? It is undoubtedly the evil Meidi.
Du Fei said calmly: "The Bush family in Texas?"
Bush was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Du Fei to know about his home.
In fact, the family of Meidi is very similar to the powerful families in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties.
Bush responded quickly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are people in the far east who know about our family. You are the first."
"The first one?" Du Fei was noncommittal and asked, "Mr. Bush, what advice do you have here?"
Bush looked at Zheng Qingchun and Wu Hongqi.
Du Fei understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these two are the most loyal comrades."
Hearing this, both Zheng and Wu straightened up slightly.
Bush has been here for a while, but he didn't insist on it: "In this case...well~Misterdou, we heard that you are providing dangerous equipment to some people in Canada."
Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Obviously, the other party already has reliable information, and denying it is useless.
After a moment of silence, Du Fei smiled: "Your Excellency is very well informed."
Hearing Du Fei's acquiescence, Bush frowned: "Mr. Du, your behavior has touched our bottom line, and I hope you will consider it carefully."
Du Fei said in his heart, he really is beautiful, and he speaks directly.
It can be seen that Bush has tried his best to choose his words carefully, but still inadvertently showed an attitude of bossing around.
Zheng Qingchun and Wu Hongqi beside both frowned.
Although they are civil servants, they grow flowers in this era, but they have an aura of fearlessness.
In any case, as long as an order is issued, the enemy will know what it means to unite as one.
Du Fei has seen more arrogant and unreasonable ones.
In comparison, Bush's wording is quite polite now.
This is the respect that the volunteers exchanged with their blood and lives more than ten years ago.
But no matter what the tone is, it still can't change the other party's intention, hoping to stop the transaction with Henry Norman.
How is this possible!
That's a profit of tens of millions. Just by random someone, when the upper lip touches the lower lip, Du Fei will spit out the fat he ate. It's just a daydream!
Do you think it’s the Qing Dynasty now? So dead early in the morning~
But Du Fei didn't get angry, let alone speak harshly.
Excess emotions serve no purpose.
Du Fei took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Bush, I think you made a mistake. We and Mr. Norman are just doing normal business. We are a company specializing in the manufacture and export of fire-fighting equipment. There is no such thing as Dangerous equipment, let alone a threat to anyone."
Bush frowned, and said in his heart, I believe you a ghost!
What kind of fire-fighting equipment, have you extinguished the fire with shells~
But he also has to be calm, because planting flowers has this qualification.
Bush said in a deep voice: "Mr. Du, I came here with good intentions. I hope you and the people behind you can seriously consider this matter."
Du Fei was equally serious: "Max said that if there is a 100% profit, capital will abide by all human laws. Do you know how much profit we have from this transaction?"
The implication is that whoever stops me from making money, I will kill him.
After speaking, Du Fei's face softened, and he laughed again: "Mr. Bush, business is business, we have no other ideas, just want to eat."
Bush looked at Du Fei with an uncertain expression.
Of course he heard Du Fei's implication, but he didn't believe it.
Sell those equipments to my backyard, you tell me that there is no other meaning, just want to make some small money?
Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway.
Speaking of this, it has been made clear that the two sides have great differences.
Bush simply stood up and said: "Mr. Du, I am very sorry. I have already stated my position, and I hope you will convey it truthfully. Of course, I will convey your position back."
