…
In the office of the artillery factory, Ye Anran made a cup of tea and brought it to Anna.
"The conditions are simple, no coffee, try our black tea."
"Thanks."
Anna held the tea cup in both hands, and her golden eyes wandered over Ye Anran.
She likes the gentleman in this man.
On the way to visit, I kept a certain distance from her.
There was never any action beyond the scope of etiquette.
Not even the look of a gangster.
Anna bit her red lips. Could it be that she was getting old? !
If she hadn't seen Ma Jinhai's salivating eyes when she passed by, she would have hid in the corner and wiped her tears alone.
Ye Anran believed in the conditions she had said. As long as he wanted it, Anna would definitely be able to do it.
However, Ye Anran had no interest in a hundred 105mm artillery pieces.
NPC has long deciphered the 105 artillery production line.
As long as he needs it, he can purchase several or even dozens of Krupp 105mm artillery production lines at the price of storing them in a universal tool box.
In terms of productivity, it is composed of prisoners of war from the 28th Division, so it is not a problem to implement it in the short term.
What the Northeast Army needs most right now is helmets and heavy machine guns.
The domestically produced Maxim machine gun imitation technology is immature.
There are flaws in range and accuracy, as well as water cooling.
The system currently does not provide production technology for light and heavy machine guns.
It is indeed a good idea to import a batch of heavy machine guns from Germany.
Except for these equipment shortcomings.
Ye Anran is particularly short of money.
Jinling purchased 32x 150mm howitzers from Rheinmetall at a price of 870,000 French currency each. It imported a total of 24 units at a cost of 20.88 million French currency.
Equivalent to about 40,000 U.S. dollars per unit.
Compared with exchanging small caliber for large caliber, Ye Anran would definitely choose money.
In times of war, money and gold are hard currencies.
He sat upright and proposed the plan cheerfully:
"We have the ability to independently produce and field 105mm artillery in the short term."
"Does Miss Anna have some practical trade cooperation plans?"
Anna's cheeks turned red.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The aftertaste was slightly bitter but sweet.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and stared at Ye Anran.
"Vice Chairman Ye."
"There's no need to beat around the bush, just say what you want."
"I might as well tell you straight that I not only want your cannon, but also your drawings and technology, as well as the production rights."
Anna didn't put down the tea cup, she wanted to hide her fast heartbeat.
It's one thing to want a 150mm howitzer, but she really wants to get a production license!
In Germany, Krupp Industries and Rheinmetall are the two domestic steel giants.
Responsible for 80% of the equipment needs of the German army.
On the surface, the two giants have a cooperative relationship, but in fact they are competing with each other secretly.
They all hope to get more production plans and orders.
They all hope to get the attention of Old Hit.
Before coming to China this time, they had submitted relevant bids for 150mm howitzers to the national defense.
Unfortunately Krupp was not selected.
As senior vice president of Krupp Industries, Anna hopes to win the opportunity to produce 150mm howitzers.
Right now, Ye Anran's equipment and howitzers are a great opportunity.
Anna stared at Ye Anran.
Almost every expression and every movement of Ye Anran is so subtle.
He wanted to know whether Ye Anran supported the transfer of technology.
Ye Anran pretended to be thoughtful.
What do you say?
What the system gave me was originally something invented by Rheinmetall.
He just found a time difference.
When Rheinmetall was planning the blueprint for the 150mm howitzer.
Ye Anran has already begun to use it to fight the Japanese. Not only that, he also tested the practicality of the weapon on the battlefield.
There was silence for two minutes.
Ye Anran raised his head and sighed, "Miss Anna."
"The price of a 150mm howitzer is US$40,000."
"$50 a shell."
"I can sell you this thing, but you need the skills."
"I'm afraid that's a little difficult."
He couldn't help but frown.
Just sell other people's things to them...
We also need to obtain production and operation license fees from others every year!
Can wool be sheared like this?
You won't be struck by lightning, right?
Ye Anran's expression was solemn, but his heart was already filled with joy.
He finally figured out that he could become the richest man by selling mineral water.
It was a business without capital...how could it be a loss?
Xu Shi saw that Ye Anran hesitated for too long.
Anna couldn't sit still for a while. She put down her tea cup and said softly: "As long as you make a condition, no matter what it is, I will agree to it."
She paused for a second, breathed lightly, and her chest trembled slightly, "Even if you want me, it's okay."
"..."
Good guy!
Ye Anran was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool.
The girl in front of me is very cruel!
He smiled awkwardly.
"Germany and China have always maintained friendly cooperation in military trade."
"China's military supplies have always been coordinated by Jinling."
"At the earliest, Dezhi also cooperated with Marshal Zhang from Fengtian."
"Usually we provide the money and you provide the equipment."
"Hecheng is just taking its first steps in light industry."
"The 32x 150mm howitzer is something that our engineers have been researching day and night after going through many trials and hardships."
"You also know that the Japanese suffered a lot in the battle against the Kwantung Army!"
"I have tested its performance in war for you."
"If Germany really wants technology and production licenses."
"That's two million dollars a year in licensing fees."
"Sign a five-year contract first."
"..."
Anna was stunned.
She pursed her lips and stared at Ye Anran, what a profiteer! !
She doesn’t have to do anything, just ask her for two million a year! !
Ana calmed down and asked, "Is it too much?"
"We may not be able to make this much money back in a year!"
"Can it be less?"
"Whatever weapons and equipment Germany has in the future, they will definitely be shared with Crane City."
…
"One and a half million a year."
"One howitzer sells for 40,000 US dollars, and you can make back the money with 40 cannons."
"Is it okay this time?"
Ye Anran held his chin.
He said so much money because he was afraid of Anna's bargaining.
Anna is a businesswoman, so even if the license fee is one million, she will find it expensive.
"A million a year."
"From now on, your business is my sister's business."
Anna sat up straight.
One million is the upper limit that Krupp Industries can accept.
Ye Anran was also afraid of scaring away the God of Wealth in front of him, so he nodded lightly and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
