After arriving in Jinzhou, these ordnance will enter the ordnance warehouse in the third town, and then Zhao Dongping will transport some of them to the vicinity of Panshan Mountain and give them to Lu Shuangqiang Shiyang. Finally, the two troops will be responsible for transporting them to the periphery of Fengtian and accept them by the Russian army.
Although there are not many people involved in this process, there are so many ammunition circulating in Fengtian, Tangshan Jinzhou every month. It is normal for outsiders to notice it. If you dig further, it is not difficult to find Yuntou in Zhao Dong.
If the Japanese discovered this incident and made it public directly, then Zhao Dongyun didn’t have any so-called direct denial. Anyway, both Japan and Russia were wooing Zhao Dongyun from Liaoxi to represent China’s forces. Similarly, both sides were unwilling to involve China in the war, which caused little chance. In Zhao Dongyun’s original guess, he directly denied whether the Russians found their logistical support for Japanese spies or that Japanese discovered their trade with the Russians.
However, he didn’t expect that on this day, people found out that there was no diplomatic protest, but they directly found their own side, and it was 30 thousand pounds!
Is this to take or not to take?
If you don’t take it, it’s almost a definite signal to Japan, that is, after Zhao Dongyun holds an anti-Japanese stance, if Japan wins the Russo-Japanese war and takes over the interests of South Manchuria Railway, Liaodong Peninsula and so on, Zhao Dong Yun will probably trip him up every day if he wants to stay in the northeast.
If you take it, it means that the military trade between yourself and the Russians is over, and the Russian army will not get shells from itself, which will make the original situation worse than the logistics of the Russian army. At that time, I hope that the Russian army can hold off for a long time, and the expectations will fall.
Looking at Zhao Dongyun’s silence, Jiro Sato continued, "General Zhao can rest assured that our army will give the best price for this batch of ordnance!"
The implication is that they will give a higher price than the Russians!
Jiro Sato said and took a sip of tea. He was confident that he could reach an agreement with Zhao Dongyun to buy ordnance, thus cutting off an important source of ammunition for the Russian army.
A few months after Jiro Sato came to western Liaoning, he soon discovered that Zhao Dong Cloud had close contacts with the Russians, and he was not a staunch supporter as advertised by the outside population.
However, he also found that after Zhao Dongyun arrived in Jinzhou, a series of actions mostly revolved around two things. The first was to expand the army, and the second was to make money. From last winter to this spring, the war against bandits continued. Ji was a third town officer, and everyone knew that it was money.
Considering that Zhao Dongyun’s ordnance for the Russians is expensive, almost 50% more than the international market price, this makes Japanese people think that Zhao Dongyun is the money and take great risks to conduct military trade with the Russians.
Plus Zhao Dongyun also cooperated with the Japanese people’s exhibition in western Liaoning, which sent Jiro Sato to try to buy Zhao Dongyun directly by throwing money.
Anyway, Zhao Dongyun is in the arms business to make money, so it is the same for them to buy it at a higher price every day, so as to avoid his unpredictable diplomatic storm.
But he didn’t think that there were deeper political reasons for Zhao Dong Cloud and Russian arms trade!
Zhao Dongyun was silent for a long time before saying, "If your army is really nervous about armaments, it is not impossible for us to sell some ammunition. Your army can’t compete with this price!"
Jiro Sato also showed a positive color after listening and then erected three fingers. "We will increase the price by 30% regardless of the original price!"
Zhao Dongyun nodded his head, and he was quite satisfied with the price. Although there is nothing about Zhao Dong cloud and Russian trade in their words, many things don’t need to be said directly, and everyone knows it. The original price is not what the ex-factory price is usually, and it is not even the international market price, but especially the day when Zhao Dongyun quoted the price to the Russians. It is impossible for people to snatch this batch of ammunition from the Russians and let Zhao Dongyun willingly not cause him a diplomatic storm and not increase the price.
The price of shells sold by Zhao Dongyun to the Russians is almost 1.5 times the ordinary price. Now, if people increase the price again, Zhao Dongyun will almost earn a shell by selling a shell!
Although this talk was simple and didn’t last long, it involved a lot of things. Finally, Jiro Sato walked out of Zhao Dongyun’s headquarters with satisfaction after looking at Zhao Dong Yunshou’s cheque for 30 thousand pounds from HSBC.
He won’t know that Zhao Dongyun immediately called Zhao Dongping when he left! rg
Chapter one hundred and twenty North endowment big alliance
"What will be sold to Japanese people now? Also increase the price by 30%? " Zhao Dongping is one of the few people in Cheng Shen’s life, but he thinks like a Japanese. He believes that selling arms to the Russians is simply to make money. Now, if people give higher prices, they naturally sell them to Japanese.
"In this way, we can increase our monthly income a lot. If we do it for a few months, I’m afraid it’s no problem to add a new infantry battalion to Jinzhou Scout Battalion!"
"But it’s a pity that I can’t do Russian business in the future!" Zhao Dongping said this.
But he had just finished Zhao Dongyun, but he said, "Who said that the Russian business is not done? If we want to sell ordnance, the Russians want us to sell it! "
Dong-ping zhao listen to slightly one leng "Japanese there is not to five thousand rounds a month? What shall we sell to the Russians if we give it to the Japanese? "
Zhao Dong said, "Then we will buy 10,000 rounds a month!"
At this time, Zhao Dongping wondered, "Third Brother, do you mean to ask Fuyuan Machinery Factory to add another 5,000 rounds of output? Didn’t they say that there was no such right output?"
Zhao Dongyun didn’t good the spirit way "output is not enough won’t move his order output first, won’t continue to expand production? Retreat 10 thousand steps, even if Fuyuan machinery factory doesn’t produce enough, can’t we buy from Germany and America? "
At this time, Zhao Dongping seemed to be ignorant. "Oh, I almost forgot that Fuyuan Machine Factory is our own home!"
Zhao Dongyun added a sentence at this time, "You also forgot that we are two-way vendors!"
Zhao Dongyun said there was nothing wrong. The arms trade between him and the Russians was not the direct arms trade between Fuyuan Machinery Factory and Japan and Russia. He was just a merchant. The dominant position in this arms trade was to control Zhao Dongyun in Jinzhou.
Zhao Dongyun can make money from Japanese or Russians if he wants to have sufficient supply, but it is not so easy to expand the supply.
First of all, it was natural for Fuyuan Machinery Factory to expand its output, but now Fuyuan Machinery Factory is heavily in debt, and it has continuously invested in expanding the production line of rifles and shells. Later, Fuyuan Machinery Factory invested in establishing an affiliated steelmaking plant at the beginning of the year, and it is more difficult to estimate the output of shells if it wants to further expand.
If it was a year ago, Fuyuan Machinery Factory estimated that Zhao Dongyun could directly instruct Fuyuan Machinery Factory to expand production, but now Fuyuan Machinery Factory has a fierce struggle over there, and Zhao Dongyun is not good enough to intervene in the detailed operation of Fuyuan Machinery Factory.
Fuyuan machinery factory has been profitable since the early days of preparation before mass production, and the orders of Beiyang New Army and other provinces’ new army and old army ordnance have given Fuyuan machinery factory excellent profits in the future, especially after last year, many people have seen this cake, and many foreign investors want to get involved.
However, Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang Sports Enterprise of Fuyuan Machinery Factory, specially requested Fuyuan Machinery Factory to say that the national defense of the factory should be strictly prevented from falling into the hands of foreigners. The Qing court specially requested that the factory should not allow foreigners to invest in shares. Even if foreigners hold shares in the factory through various means, they will be abolished as soon as they are discovered. This kind of thing is a mess, and the late Qing Dynasty is an exception
However, there are no foreigners, and people with more money after the event all want to buy shares in Zhongyou Fuyuan Machinery Factory. The original shareholders are more eager to expand the proportion of their shares.
However, in the past year, the major shareholder of the parent company of Fuyuan Textile Factory and Fuyuan Machinery Factory, which is 100% owned by Zhao family, has never agreed that the large-scale share issuance was only through two small-scale share issuance, and the main source of funds was through loans. However, although there were many loans, when the loans reached a certain level, they could not be loaned soon.
At the end of last year, Fuyuan Machinery Factory planned to set up an affiliated steelmaking plant, and at the same time, it was prepared to purchase many equipment needed for making guns and heavy machine guns. However, the required funds reached more than millions of loans, so it was not enough to borrow so much. Finally, it was prepared to issue additional shares.
However, this time, due to the large scale of the additional issuance, the successful share increase will make Fuyuan Mill’s stake in Fuyuan Machinery Factory drop from 43% to 24%, which is naturally strongly opposed by Fuyuan Mill, the parent company. Although it is important to develop, it is more important to control this enterprise, but Fuyuan Mill’s opposition is a failure.
