In the next few days, Wang Yue did not rush back to 1940, but concentrated on handling business matters in Tripoli. Things were too rough before, but with the improvement of his system and the increase in transportation volume, If you continue like this, you will be targeted soon. It is certain that you will be sliced into pieces and put under house arrest. Don’t think that you will be invincible just because your body becomes a monster. At least for now, Wang Yue has not faced the danger of modern firearms. ability.
First of all, Ahmed's leather bag company was further strengthened. Well, it was no longer a leather bag company. Wang Yue bought a Chinese supermarket very close to the port area and simply tidied up the three-story building to become Ai Hamed's trading company began to do business seriously, not to make money, but to increase the throughput of the port warehouse. As for the goods, they were no longer the things he planned to transport back to the time and space of 1940. In response to local demand, We began to organize supplies from China, Europe and even the Americas to fully meet the needs of the Libyan market.
Not only in Tripoli, Wang Yue also asked Ahmed to register leather bag companies in many surrounding countries, and even the noodle country Matador on the opposite side of the Mediterranean Sea. At that time, it would be time to engage in some real and fake re-export trade, further confusing sight, and with Tasha's introduction, Ahmed also introduced some local capital and brought some small tribes, small warlords, and government officials near Tripoli to do business together.
Considering that there are still vacant cold storages in the port area, Wang Yue simply asked Ahmed to rent them, and then organized several small tribes near the sea to start the export business of frozen seafood. The seafood in Libya is so cheap. , It’s really hard for me to go back to China without some help, and I really can’t live up to our reputation as a country of big foodies.
When it comes to the seafood market in Libby, there are a lot of people watching it, but most domestic companies are worried about safety issues, and business in this area is advancing slowly. But Wang Yue is different. He has to spend a lot of time in this country. , it is very appropriate to do this. At most, I will transfer some profits to the local people. I am really not here to make money. It is estimated that it is only tens of millions a month, which is a waste.
Even Tasha got involved and started trading rare seafood. She planned to use planes to airlift rare fresh seafood to some small airports in countries such as Hungary every day. She had no choice but to use the Li-2 plane. There was no way to obtain an airworthiness license, so she could only enter European airspace in the name of a charter flight, and then land at some small airports with low requirements. However, Wang Yue was very suspicious that this girl was doing something else behind the seafood trade. , but what does it matter? Those are the Europeans' own business. Wang Yue is not a bald eagle, and he doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs.
Secondly, Wang Yue put up the sign of "Binzhou Rural Commercial Bank Office in Libya" in a luxury suite on the top floor of the Corinthian Hotel. He also hired a local girl to be the front desk. He even went to the embassy and the Libyan office. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs filed a record, and then suddenly transformed into a representative of a foreign-funded institution. His identity seemed to change instantly. During the brief opening ceremony, even the counselor of the embassy came to congratulate him in person. The domestic Binzhou Rural Commercial Bank even directly bought the The local daily newspaper publicized the matter in a big way, and the president personally called Wang Yue to tell him that the office's activity funds had been officially increased from US$2,000 per month to US$10,000 per month. Wang Yue thanked him for this. He also complained endlessly, "The luxury suite at the Corinthian Hotel costs US$50,000 a month, and I even hired a beautiful girl. What can you do with this little money?"
Finally, while doing this, Wang Yue actually entered the industry. Yes, he entered the industry, and it was in the country of Libi. He bought a car modification factory near the port area. Well, it was actually a yard with more than ten people. A repair department for workers. The boss, Said, is a Pakistani man. His skills are very good and his business can be done well. However, the country of Libi is too chaotic. Big customers often leave and many accounts cannot be collected. So he directly asks Said to do small repairs. The department is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Wang Yue considered that he had many vehicles in need of upgrading and modification, and there might be more in the future, so he bought this small factory. It was not bad, despite the rudimentary equipment and the unreliable employees. But the business capabilities are still quite good. It is said that they have maintained T55 tanks and Scud missiles in the past few years. If they are placed on the opposite side of the Mediterranean Sea, they will definitely be a high-precision enterprise, which is appropriate.
Wang Yue immediately placed the first business order for the factory, modifying 40 Schnader assault tanks. He planned to hand these tanks directly to the Eighth Route Army this time, but the speed of this tank at five kilometers per hour was really slow. It was too outrageous. Although the Eighth Route Army would certainly not dislike it, it would also affect its own reputation.
Therefore, Wang Yue asked Tasha to get forty T34 engines and transmission systems, and began to comprehensively upgrade the Schneider assault tank. Considering that the Schneider assault tank weighs only fourteen tons, after replacing it with a new engine The power may be somewhat redundant, so he asked Ahmed to buy some inferior armor steel plates from a local factory and improve the tank's average armor thickness of 14 mm, so that the armor thickness of key parts reached 20-30 mm. mm. Of course, the weight of the entire vehicle is close to twenty tons, but it doesn't matter. There is no pressure at all on the 500-horsepower engine. It can even be used to tow something else? It's just that you ended up scraping the whole car with grease, painting it, and waxing it for what? Tank waxing is really unheard of.
However, seeing Wang Yue change a bunch of precious out-of-print Schneider assault tanks into such a ghostly appearance, Tasha almost cried, and even asked for a hundred T55s to be exchanged for these forty tanks. , but there was no way. Wang Yue had already made up his mind to bring these magically modified Schneider assault tanks to 1940. Naturally, he couldn't agree to Tasha. Of course, the more important thing was that there was something wrong with the exchange items given by the girl. If these were a hundred T34 tanks, Wang Yue might really hesitate, but for T55 tanks, forget it.
In the process of contacting Said, the director of the repair shop, Wang Yue had an unexpected gain. He learned that this brother was actually from Peshawar, and his family had ancestral craftsmanship. Unfortunately, the local competition was too fierce, so he had to Maybe he changed his career to auto repair. Wang Yue never dreamed that with his annual salary of fifty thousand US dollars, he would hire a generalist. Unmentioned, extra work. While transforming the Schneider assault tank, Wang Yue asked Sai Yi to do more work. The German command apprentice manufactured a batch of anti-aircraft machine gun mounts, and coupled them with the Kondakov anti-aircraft sights donated by Tasha, turning the thousand Maxim heavy machine guns in his hand into anti-aircraft machine guns.
Wang Yue had no choice. The Eighth Route Army had no anti-aircraft firepower. Once it encountered the Japanese aviation, it would only be bombed. What about the anti-aircraft machine gun? It's a bit demanding to expect it to fly, but it can be used to drive away low-altitude aircraft. The problem is, as long as the Japanese planes are not allowed to dive at will and drop bombs at low altitudes at will, most of the damage can be avoided. The Japanese are not bald eagles and cannot afford carpet bombing. If they do not engage in low-altitude bombing, they can turn these Japanese planes into decorations. Of course, this is only a possibility. After all, the Japanese tactics are not static.
Seeing Wang Yue working on this kind of anti-aircraft machine gun, Tasha felt that she had found a business opportunity again, and immediately instructed her subordinates to have the freighter transport artillery shells from the Far East to Libya to carry more bits and pieces, but she did not directly tell the other party on the phone that she had another Wang Yue was so embarrassed when he found out that he was a fool. He wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
There is also the issue of military uniforms. Wang Yue still has a hundred tons of Noodle Country military uniforms. The problem is that those military uniforms are from several branches of the military. The quality is good, but they are not systematic. Some are black, some are khaki, and some are camouflage. Yes, some are gray, some are ridiculous, and some are white. Not to mention the difficulty of dyeing, the quantity is not large. At best, there are only military uniforms for one division. What should I do? You can only make it yourself.
Ever since, Chen Xi felt uncomfortable in China. First of all, he came with two hundred thousand sets of gray Italian military uniforms and two hundred five thousand M35 helmets. Special notes were made on the steel formula. He was determined not to use film and television props. There was no way. Last time Chen Xi Xi actually gave him five thousand film and television props. The quality, not to mention stray bullet fragments, even the flying stones could hit a turtle. Then Zhang Wanhe seemed to have taken them away. It was said that they were going to be processed into iron pots. , which made Wang Yue lose face, so he added an extra five thousand caps this time. He had no choice but to do it for his own reputation.
Others, such as lunch boxes, kettles, engineer shovels, sleeping bags, daggers, rucksacks, bullet boxes, etc., were also collected for 200,000 sets. Even Italian gas masks were ordered for 200,000 in the name of industrial protective gear. Sets, after calculation, these military uniforms cost 200 million yuan. This is still an estimate. It is really difficult to grasp the actual situation. There are too many. It is definitely not possible to rely solely on the work clothes workshop of the cannery. Don’t say one It's been months, and I haven't been able to do this for half a year.
Wang Yue also expressed satisfaction with the 20,000 tons of special cans that recently arrived in Libya, but expressed concern about the progress of the delivery. For an order of 100,000 tons, it took so long to ship 20,000 tons. Ten thousand tons, if all were paid, it would probably take three months. The meaning was very simple, that is, let Chen Xi supervise the cannery to speed up production.
In addition, Wang Yue was very satisfied with the canned meat "The Butt of the Leader of the Noodle Country" sent by Chen Xi, but the additives of sample No. 1 were not right, and the thickness of the aluminum can of sample No. 2 was too thin, so he asked the cannery to complete the previous work. After placing the order for 100,000 tons of cans, the cans were immediately copied according to the standards of sample No. 3, but the fineness of the chicken and duck rack grinding materials in the product should be improved, and the amount of seaweed gel should be increased to enhance the taste. In addition, the price of 1.8 yuan per 340g package is slightly higher. We hope to continue negotiating with the other party and confirm follow-up orders as soon as possible. The order size should not be less than 100,000 tons.
Wang Yue does not plan to supply this kind of canned food to the Eighth Route Army, but for a huge country with hundreds of millions of people, no matter how much food is not enough, let alone the upcoming severe drought that is still waiting, so he must Make preparations as early as possible. As for why you don’t organize food, it is because the energy density of food is too low, it is inconvenient to transport, not to mention difficult to preserve, and the loss is large. In comparison, extremely cheap canned food is obviously the best choice.
The Eighth Route Army responded well to the metal tools last time. Another 10,000 tons will be purchased. As long as the steel meets the standards, the type of tools is not limited. The cost is controlled as much as possible. Even if the tools cannot be used, they can be re-smelted. After the war broke out , the price of steel over there has increased tenfold in 1940, and no matter how you operate, you will not lose money.
The sample of heavy-duty bicycles met the standard, and 10,000 of them came. This time, the 1,000 12-horsepower tractors were transported. Wang Yue found that Zhang Wanhe was about to cry, so he thought about whether he could find another way to strengthen the transportation capacity of the Eighth Route Army. In fact, not only It's a heavy-duty bicycle. He also asked Chen Xi to customize a variety of tricycles. It's just a pity that those tricycles all used technologies that shouldn't be used. There were problems with the electroplating solution, metal paint, and materials. All in all, further modifications are needed.
The quality of pure cotton cloth is good. It costs 10,000 tons. It is recommended to use gray cloth and floral cloth as the main ones. Special emphasis should be placed on using pure cotton as the main one. Chemical fibers can be added and the types and specifications should be strictly controlled. This is something Wang Yue gradually figured out. , at first he thought that all chemical fibers could not be brought to the 1940 time and space, but later he discovered that this was not absolute. As long as the chemical fibers could be manufactured under the laboratory conditions at that time, there would be no problem. Of course, if the type was good, it would not be a problem. In the past, it was a matter of processing specifications. As long as the specifications were well controlled, there would be no problem.
Corn syrup, 10,000 barrels, requires galvanized iron barrels, 200 liters specification, no thickeners, colorants and other additives are allowed.
One thousand tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer requires double-layer packaging of kraft paper and cotton cloth. Of course, the purity of the fertilizer is very high. Although it is still a chemical fertilizer, the grade is already the highest on the market.
One thousand tons of white sugar. There is no limit on granulated sugar or soft white sugar. There is no problem with expired products. The lowest price shall prevail. Double-layer packaging of kraft paper and cotton cloth is also required.
There are 20,000 15kg gas tanks. If the pressure test is qualified, old gas tanks can also be used. In a word, they are easy to use and cheap.
One thousand tons of 130/150 specifications seamless steel pipe each. This is very simple. The launcher and propellant tube of the gas tank cannon. In fact, after a large number of 122mm artillery, Wang Yue felt that this kind of cannon would be useless in the near future. , but the gas tank cannon is so light that it can be carried by any guerrilla and can be used with simple training. But it is really not possible. If you point at the target and follow the illustrations, it will be no problem to shoot directly.
There are two thousand sets of small refining equipment. At the same time, it is recommended that the manufacturer further explore the product and further explore the aspects of reducing costs, simplifying operations, improving efficiency, etc. In the future, Wang Yue plans to operate this thing as a flagship product.
It wasn't until Wang Yue felt that he didn't have enough money that he reluctantly stopped shopping.
