: Re-recommendation of old things

"General Wu is a customer, of course you have the final say. But please tell us what kind of engine do you want to buy? Because I dare to bet you that even though I have been in Guangzhou for many years, the domestic news is still well-versed. I have never heard of Rolls-Royce launching a new high-power sedan engine."

"I don't know much about this, but I have heard from some overseas Chinese that it is the newly launched engine of Rolls-Royce in October last year. If Mr. Boli's real doesn't know, please ask Mr. Boli's to inquire about the specific model." Wu Shaoting said pretending to refuse.

"Last October? I was a little impressed by General Wu's words. However, the engine developed by Rolls-Royce in October was caused by the e35 British high-power cylinder type. The e-series engines are all used to assemble aircraft. Unless General Wu, you want to drive the sedan to the sky, I really can't figure out how to install the cylinder engine in the sedan." Bolian said strangely.

"You mentioned the plane just now? I have watched a flight show in Shanghai. This kind of flying machine is really magical." Wu Shaoting said deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"Haha, that's right. If General Wu is interested, it's better to buy a plane and come back. This is faster and more exciting than driving a car." Boli'an said deliberately. He knew that Chinese people were very unfamiliar with planes, not to mention that even if Wu Shaoting bought the plane, he would need to hire a professional pilot to fly.

"Okay. Can Mr. Bolian contact the merchants who sell the plane?" Wu Shaoting asked in surprise.

"As long as General Wu is willing to pay for it, he can buy the Fearless Class warship." Bolian said with a smile. Of course, this is just his metaphor. Even if Wu Shaoting really wants to buy the Fearless Class warship now, I am afraid that he will not be able to order the goods in any European country. In the current situation in Europe, he wishes to turn all the steel into Fearless Class warships.

In contrast, although the aircraft is a new type of vehicle, the military role of the aircraft in 1913 was nothing more than reconnaissance. In addition, in terms of civil use, there was only entertainment performance. Before the German Folk Company developed a fixed aviation machine gun in 1915, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft was almost negligible. Therefore, at the current stage in Europe, various countries did not pay much attention to aircraft, and the technology and application of aircraft were also very public.

It was precisely because of the psychology of Europeans during this period that Wu Shaoting decided to start to study combat effectiveness first, so as not to deliberately restrict China's development in this regard when the powers discovered that the fighter jets were of great effect.

"Since Mr. Bolian mentioned that I am quite interested in this new type of machinery, it is simply considered in this transaction. But no matter what, I want the latest Rolls-Royce engine mentioned earlier. Regardless of whether it is designed for an aircraft or not, I believe that as long as it is modified, it can always be used in the car appropriately." He insisted.

"Okay, okay, okay, you have the final say!" Boli'an showed a smug smile.

"I want seventy e35 engines you mentioned. As for the plane, I don't know much. Anyway, you'll be responsible for helping me find one that can fly into the sky. As for the price, it's easy to say. I can pay cash, and it's US dollars." Wu Shaoting said generously.

"That would be better. I will contact Hong Kong as soon as possible and find a good business for you in the UK. But..." When he said this, Boli'an subconsciously paused, then sighed, and then continued, "I'm afraid that it will take longer to wait in time. General Wu should know that the journey from the British to China is long, not to mention that the situation in Europe has not been very clear recently, and the prices of many machinery are rising. I must carefully select the most suitable price for General Wu."

"Select carefully? Mr. Boli'an, why do I sound so awkward about what you said? Do British merchants look down on the Chinese market anymore and have to re-arrange prices?" Wu Shaoting asked back.

"You can't say that... If General Wu really hopes to be both fast and discounted, I can arrange for a Hong Kong company to take over, and the goods you want can be transported to Guangzhou within 45 days as soon as possible."

"This is pretty good, why do you say it's so difficult?" Wu Shaoting asked with a calm face, thinking about what tricks Bo Li'an would do.

"Because the boss of this Hong Kong company... has some celebrations with General Wu." Bo Li'an smiled mysteriously.

"Who is this person?" Wu Shaoting asked coldly.

"It was Mr. Chen Lian, Bai and Chen in the past." Boli'an said a name.

Wu Shaoting's expression suddenly changed. Chen Lianbai, a villain, really caused a lot of trouble for himself. Later, after the success of the Guangzhou First Rebellion, he was busy rectifying the new military government and did not have time to rectify Chen Lianbai. Later, I never heard of Chen Lianbai in Guangzhou. It turned out that this kid had already escaped to Hong Kong.

Chen Lianbai has always been a comprador for the British, so naturally Boli's minion in Guangzhou. Now Boli's sudden mention of this matter and also contacts the current transaction. The tenth *** is to re-promote this minion.

Wu Shaoting smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Chen Lianbai. But I don't quite understand Mr. Boli's words. Why can only get the goods within 45 days through Chen Lianbai's company, and can't other companies? I really don't believe that the British would give all the business to a Chinese person to handle with such confidence!"

Bolian laughed and said, "General Wu is afraid that he will not know anything. Last June, Mr. Chen had officially applied for the British Empire nationality and was approved in August. He is now a gentleman of the British Empire. Mr. Chen established a trading company in Hong Kong, responsible for the business of HSBC and British Empire Bank in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, the aircraft and engines are within the scope of his contract. He is also a distributor of the Rolls-Royce Company. Now he has to pass through his company to buy cars and ships in Hong Kong."

Wu Shaoting was secretly surprised: I didn't expect that this kid had lost his roots in Guangzhou, but he was doing better and better outside.

Boli'an looked at Wu Shaoting and remained silent. After thinking for a while, he said, "General Wu, you can be considered a businessman. There is a saying in the business world that there is no eternal enemy, only eternal profit. Anyway, it's everyone's profit, so why not let go of the past holidays and take each other's needs."

Wu Shaoting showed a mysterious smile and said to Boli'an: "Since you are so unhappy in doing business with you British people, then that's all today. I believe that the United States and Germany have planes and engines that can be sold to me. Even if their journey is far away, it will take longer. But the most important thing is that other people are doing business sincerely, not scheming."

After he finished speaking, he did not give Bolian a chance to explain, and stood up very decisively and prepared to leave.

Deng Keng, who was sitting near the door, opened the door with admiration.

Boli'an's face changed and he quickly said, "General Wu, please stay. For the sake of God, you are so rude. We British gentlemen have always said everything, but we just provide General Wu with some information that can be referenced. If General Wu is unwilling, please act like I have never said it."

Wu Shaoting carried his hands behind his back, took out a leadership posture, and asked lukewarmly: "Mr. Boli'an, what are you going to do with your and my deal?"

Bo Li'an took a deep breath and said seriously: "Give me three days to help General Wu ask the price clearly. Once the deposit arrives, the goods will be shipped within seven days. As for the future transportation route, it is impossible to estimate."

Wu Shaoting showed the winner's smile, nodded gently and said, "It's so good. When Mr. Boli'an makes progress, he can send someone to the Governor's Office to notify me."
