Chapter 514: Renminbi Players
North American Airlines has very strong production capacity. In the years from 1941 to 1945, North American Airlines produced 15,000 aircraft, with an average of about 10 aircraft per day. Of course, North American Airlines has not expanded to tens of thousands of employees working together as it did later.
"It takes 5 months, and at least 5 months to produce this batch of fighter jets." said the president.
After North American Airlines' matter was resolved, Jiang Hao returned to the mercenary company.
With Cameron as an expert, Jiang Hao's mercenary company has now developed well, with more than 50 experienced American pilots, more than 300 Chinese flight students, and several maintenance and ground crew members.
Jiang Hao found Cameron and said, "I have ordered 100 fighter jets, which will take about 5 months. In 5 months, I will take the pilot and this batch of planes to China to participate in the battle. Cameron, by that time, can you get 100 pilots?"
Cameron nodded and said, "Those students have good qualities. I believe that in 5 months, they can all fly independently to participate in the battle. However, their real combat level is tempered in actual combat, and no one will know the result."
"Then let's work together." Jiang Hao said.
From this day on, Jiang Hao also learned to fly the plane. He had a good memory and strong physical fitness. He could learn all kinds of knowledge. All kinds of movements in the air couldn't help him. It didn't take long for Jiang Hao to master fighter piloting, and surpassed most students, and even surpassed some veteran American pilots.
"Lingling!"
The phone from Jiang Hao's office in Hall Company rang. Jiang Hao picked it up and answered it. It was called by James. Since Jiang Hao stabilized Roosevelt's condition and allowed Mr. President to walk freely, Jiang Hao and James have become the best brothers.
"Hi Jon, what's the point of staying in the flying school all day? Do you know, our little blue pills are selling well, the data statistics from drug sellers, huh, I can't believe it, it's even more profitable than sulfonamide."
"Jon, you have really become a multi-millionaire. Maybe you may be the first Chinese multi-millionaire in the United States now." James said excitedly.
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "James, do you believe it? I am still asking the lawyer to contact me and preparing to borrow money from the bank."
The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, and James spoke again: "Jon, have you ever thought about selling the shares?"
Jiang Hao's heart moved.
It seems that someone has taken a fancy to the shares in his hands.
This is inevitable,
Knowing that an industry has a very good prospect, people are naturally willing to invest and make money. In fact, Jiang Hao had thought before that he would sell some of his shares after the price was high.
Also, as an individual, he does have more shares. James has a family property, but Jiang Hao is an individual. Although he is a small leader, it is easy to make people jealous.
"Oh, does anyone want to buy it?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Yes, many people asked me that the DuPont family came over and wanted to cooperate with us in pharmaceutical factories, so that they could expand their current scale by 10 times. You know that the drugs we produce are not enough, let alone the whole world, the whole United States cannot supply them." James said.
Jiang Hao didn't hesitate much and said, "Of course, but the price will not be cheap. You and I know the prospects of these two drugs, which are definitely a big gold mine."
James laughed, "Of course, how could I sell it at a low price? Although we can win over a good ally, I won't trade at a loss."
One month later,
After several rounds of negotiations, it was finally decided that DuPont bought 30% of the pharmaceutical company's shares, Jiang Hao sold 11% of the shares, and the remaining 23% of the shares, and received 23 million US dollars in cash.
Now I'm really rich.
North American Airlines has successively built Mustang fighters, and they have collected 5 of them and sent them to Jiang Hao's mercenary company. After seeing this kind of plane, Cameron really liked it and immediately drove it twice.
After coming down, Cameron said excitedly: "Oh, this is the best fighter I have ever had. None of them, I believe that in driving these guys, you can defeat any opponent in the air."
"In the future, I will send 5 more aircraft to North American Airlines. This batch of aircraft will be practiced by mercenaries and students and familiar with the performance of fighter jets."
"Also, prepare more materials. When we arrive in the East, the supply will be a big problem. I am now well-funded and I will prepare as much as I can. At that time, we will hire several cargo ships to transport all the planes and supplies to Vietnam, and then transfer them to China."
Cameron nodded, "I think it's OK."
After Cameron left, Jiang Hao had the idea of his own money again, and now he has more than 20 million US dollars in cash.
Now an ounce of gold is $35, $10 million, and it can be exchanged for 8 tons of gold. His own gold space is only half a cubic meter now, which is really not enough, so he decided to expand it.
But he also had to buy fighter jets and accessories, bullets, oil and other supplies, and paid mercenaries to support hundreds of students. He was also planning to bring back a batch of sulfonamide, which was almost useful.
what to do?
Jiang Hao once again started to take out a loan.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money. We have assets. Isn’t it a good habit for Americans to spend in advance? I picked up the phone and called his lawyer, Curtis, "Curtis, help me contact the banker, I’m ready to take out a loan."
"Oh, boss, I remember you just got a 23 million cash." Curtis said in surprise.
"Not enough, not enough. You told those banks that I wanted to use my current shares as collateral to see how much money I could get." Jiang Hao said.
"All of it?" Curtis said in shock.
“Yes, all.”
Curtis felt a little dizzy, "Boss, your shares should be worth around 45 million. I really don't know what you are doing with such a large sum of money."
"Of course I have my use. Curtis, go and talk to them. Find more banks. I will borrow from whoever has more loans." Jiang Hao said.
"Your assets are very popular, and I think those banks will be very happy to lend you a loan."
A few days later, Curtis brought Wells Fargo people to the door. The loan they gave was 30 million, the highest among all banks. Jiang Hao applied for a 10-year loan, and the interest on the loan was an astonishing figure, reaching more than 13 million US dollars.
Curtis, the lawyer, felt dizzy when he saw it. Jiang Hao signed the contract. Jiang Hao’s only request was to bring him cash.
The next afternoon, a truckload of money was transported to Jiang Hao's office. Looking at the neatly packed banknotes, Jiang Hao cheered and rushed forward.
"Absorb, transform!"
Brush brush,
Stacks of banknotes disappeared and then disappeared into the space, and the space was gradually increasing, with 30 million US dollars. In modern time and space, you can't even buy a ton of gold, but here you can get 24 tons of gold, which is about 1.2 cubic meters.
If all the 30 million US dollars are absorbed, Jiang Hao's space can be increased to 1.8 cubic meters.
Jiang Hao sincerely complained in his heart, golden space is so fucking expensive.
In the end, Jiang Hao left 5 million in the space, and the space was frozen at 1.5 cubic meters. This money can be converted at any time, leaving some for emergencies.
Why is Jiang Hao obsessed with expanding the golden space?
Because of this, he can turn fighter jets into bombers.
A b25 bomber has a bomb load of 1.5, and Jiang Hao's space load capacity is similar to a b25 bomber. Jiang Hao is preparing to play with the feeling of a bomber. When bombing the Japanese positions, I wonder if they will be confused.
In January 1939, North American Airlines had built 50 Mustang fighters. Except for 10 flying to New York Hall Mercenary Company for training, Jiang Hao did not allow them to transport them to New York, but knew that they would make semi-finished products, directly load them into containers, and deliver them to Los Angeles Pier.
Jiang Hao then ordered Lucas to organize freighters to load the planes, ammunition, supplies, etc., first transport a batch to Vietnam, and assemble the planes there.
This time, Lucas led the team, and all the ground crew and mechanics were brought over, and 300 students were brought over. Basically, Hall Company was empty, with only a dozen staff members left. Jiang Hao was in charge, waiting for a batch of planes to be manufactured, and then escorted them to Vietnam together.
March, grass grows and birds fly,
Jiang Hao found Mr. Situ Meitang again and told him all his plans. The old man was very excited.
"Do your best to the country and bring people to the war in person. You are a role model for all overseas Chinese youth. I will send a telegram to the Chairman of the Standing Committee to tell him the good news. He is living a difficult life now, and he will definitely welcome you to your service."
Before leaving, Jiang Hao met James again. James was really reluctant to leave Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't die. My company's shares are entrusted to be managed by lawyers. James, whether you can make money depends on you. You know, I have suppressed all my wealth."
"I know you have a loan of 30 million from Wells Fargo, and you may have to pay interest on your profits within three years," said James.
"It doesn't matter. My purpose of making money is to help my motherland." Jiang Hao said.
"Okay, I admire your noble sentiment. I have prepared the sulfamide you want for you. There are 10 tons in total, worth 5.6 million. I will deduct it from your share." James said.
"Thank you James,"
Jiang Hao took out three pieces of talisman paper from his pocket and handed it to James and said, "These are three talismans for treatment. I am afraid I won't be able to come to the United States within a few years. I will use one for President Roosevelt every year, light it with a lighter, and drink it in water. Don't think it's dirty. This is a good recipe for treatment."
James took the talisman paper excitedly and hugged Jiang Hao, "Jon, if it's really hard, come back to the United States and don't die in China."
"Okay, I promise you." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"Also, Jiang, I have a piece of evidence for you." James said, taking out a small notebook from his pocket. Jiang Hao opened it and saw it. It read in English: "Class Member of the Foreign Affairs Research Committee of the US State Department, Jiang Hao."
There is also a photo of Jiang Hao posted on it, with the official seal of the US State Department.
"This is a formal diplomatic certificate from the US State Department. If, I mean, if you are captured, remember to take it out. I think the Japanese know that if they weren't really crazy, they wouldn't have killed you. Then contact me, and I will ask the ambassador to China to pick you up." James said solemnly.
Jiang Hao felt a little excited when he held the ID. No matter what, James really cared about him and gave himself a life-saving talisman. It did not involve money or politics, but only a personal relationship.
"I remember, by the way, you give me the life-saving talisman, and I'll give you a life-saving talisman, too." Jiang Hao took out a folded triangle talisman and handed it to James and said, "I'm sure you will go to the battlefield. This talisman paper can bless you with peace and safety. If there is a major disaster, I can help you avoid it once."
James took the talisman paper in surprise, "I will go to the battlefield. I am thirty years old. This piece of paper can bless me, are you sure?"
"Do you think my method to cure your father's leg disease is magical? This is the same?" Jiang Hao said.
When James heard this, he immediately took it seriously. According to Jiang Hao's instructions, he took out his wallet and placed it carefully inside, "Don't worry, I will carry it with me in this life."
A few days later, Jiang Hao took the remaining group of people from Hall Mercenary Company to Los Angeles by plane, boarded a freighter full of fighter jets and supplies, and set off for Vietnam.
Looking at the scene of the Los Angeles Pier, Jiang Hao sighed in his heart, time flies so fast, and it has been a year since he came to the United States. During this year, he seems to have been making money and planning non-stop for this moment.
Finally, I'm going back to my motherland.
What you have to face next may be endless battles.
