Take Taobao to fight against Japan

The company's munitions business is shrinking, debts are snowballing, and workers' wages are still rising, but these are not enough to make him despair and make him give up his precious life!

What really made him go nowhere was the isolationism that has been ingrained in the bones of the American people.

The American people pursue isolationism, adopt the principle of non-interference in defense, and do not take the initiative to get involved in any external military conflicts except for self-defense wars; in terms of economy and culture, they pass legislation to limit trade and cultural exchanges with foreign countries to the greatest extent.

Before World War II, the United States pursued "isolationism" and refused multilateral cooperation, prohibiting the shipment of American weapons to belligerent countries. For this reason, the U.S. Congress passed a neutrality law that fully reflected the principle of isolationism in August 1935.

US President Roosevelt even made a promise during his election campaign that "as long as the United States is not attacked, the United States will never enter the war."

But this is a boundless disaster for the Olin family who run an arms manufacturing company!

Because arms dealers and isolationism are born sworn enemies!

If the United States does not get rid of isolationism, Winchester Arms Manufacturing Company will not be able to open up overseas markets for a day, and the domestic arms market in the United States has long been saturated.

The Winchester Company in New Haven, Connecticut has been around for over 150 years, though it was later owned by the American Rapid Fire Arms Company.

However, the company has long been known as the Winchester Rapid Fire Arms Company, so many people still refer to it as "Winchester Company".

Over the years, the company has provided millions of small arms to the government and individuals, playing a key role in the national security of the United States and even the formation of American culture.

After the First World War, the company decided to expand its products to sporting goods, but the company could not escape the fate of decline, and finally declared bankruptcy in the mid-1920s, and was taken over by the Olin family, the owners of the Western Ammunition Company.

Under the management of the Olin family, the production line has been refurbished, and the focus is still on the production of weapons and ammunition. In the 30s, the company's operations were bleak, but it barely realized assembly line operations.

At this moment, the United States is in the trough of the Great Depression, and the Springfield Armory is struggling to support the performance of Rixia Xishan, but has not received any orders.

So, Gary was really desperate, two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks quietly!

As a man of less than 40 years old, with seniors and juniors, how could he be willing to abandon his wife and children if he hadn't reached the point of desperation?

However, until now, he really has no other choice. As a man, he has tried his best!

Thinking back on his short but long life, he turned his head and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor. Gary closed his eyes slowly, trying to make himself walk peacefully and without pain, and put his right thumb into the trigger.

Didi Didi, and then at this moment, there were a few piercing sirens outside the yard, and then bright car lights suddenly lit up outside the living room window.

"Damn it! Fake oil! It's so late, who else is going to disturb you? Bastard, you look good!"

Gary was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wanted to die, but he didn't let himself be at peace. He stood up extremely angrily, and then rushed out the door aggressively with a pistol, wanting to give this blind guy some color.

Chapter 470

"Fuck, what bastard are you, stop! Oh, Daisy, you, why are you back?"

As soon as he went out, Gary saw a figure rushing towards him under the headlights of the car.

Gary picked up the pistol and was about to shoot instinctively, but the moment he was about to pull the trigger, he was surprised to find that it was his eldest daughter Daisy!

Gary couldn't help trembling, and quickly pointed the gun up to prevent it from going off!

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Isn't it a surprise, a surprise!"

Daisy, who was in a good mood, didn't notice Gary's abnormality. Instead, she spread her arms and ran over to hug Gary, giggling and saying, "Dad, this is my new Ford Mercury, isn't it beautiful?"

In October 1938, Mercury products were officially launched.

Equipped with a powerful 95-horsepower V8 engine, the Mercury sedan is extremely popular with users and has captured 2.19% of the U.S. sedan market within a year.

"Beautiful! Very beautiful! Ah, wait!"

Gary responded casually, and then suddenly screamed as if he had discovered a new world: "You just said that you bought this car yourself? You didn't borrow it? Where did you get the money from?"

Daisy replied very proudly: "Of course I earned it myself. Can I still rob a bank?"

"Huh? The price of this new car seems to be nearly 1000 dollars, right? What kind of job do you do, and you can make so much money in just over two months?"

Gary was even more confused. Although he was so busy during this time that he didn't have much time and time to take care of his family, he still had a rough idea of ​​Daisy's situation!

Daisy smiled and replied, "It's less than $1000, and it's only $918!"

"It's less than $1000, your tone is not small!"

My old Ford has been driven for more than ten years, and Gary is still reluctant to buy a low-end new car that costs $200. Not long after his daughter just graduated, he bought the latest sleeper car at his own expense for $918?

Daisy continued to make up the knife and said: "It's a little trick, I have earned a full 5000 US dollars in the past two months!"

"Okay! Are you really going to rob a bank?"

Gary rolled his eyes and said in horror, "My God, $5000 is enough to pay the company's 10 workers for a year!"

Daisy smiled and said, "Father, I came home overnight and I have some great news to tell you!"

Gary smiled bitterly and said, "Honey, you can go home and see me, and you can live a good life on your own, which is already the greatest good news!"

At this moment, Gary's monologue was, fortunately, his daughter was up to the challenge, even if he went to see God, he didn't have to worry about the family's livelihood, and he could leave with peace of mind!

"Father, you are too easily satisfied!"

Daisy grinned, then took out a document from her handbag and said, "Dad, my friend heard that the company is struggling and is looking for a way out, so he is very interested and wants to invest in our family arms company!

These are the two patents they have just successfully applied for, which can be regarded as an investment in the company! "

Yang Fan therefore knows that the U.S. stock market will soar in a few years, and even knows that some companies such as Ford, Colt, and Winchester are in a low period. profit!

However, Americans are very strict about their core interests and important related companies, and people from other countries can't just buy them if they want to!

Moreover, Americans have always had a tradition of anti-Chinese. Although massacres similar to Indonesian anti-Chinese riots will not happen, once any abnormal fluctuations occur, it is easy for some enthusiastic people in the U.S. government to target them, and they are directly intervened by the U.S. government.

At the same time, Yang Fan doesn't have much cash right now, so he thought of buying some technologies that are not against the sky from the system mall for investment!

"What? Your friend wants to invest in our company? And invest in patents? Let's talk about it first!"

Gary didn't know, so he took the file bag. The light outside the house was dim and the content of the file could not be seen clearly, so Gary turned and walked into the house.

After entering the room, Gary sat on the sofa, unwound the sealing rope with his hands, and then took out the documents inside to read.

"M1 carbine? Dimpled bullets? Watt, there is such a genius design?"

Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods. Although Gehry is a pure ammunition business owner rather than a technical background, he can tell if the goods are in stock or not by looking at the drawings and patent certification copies!

The M1 carbine is a specialized carbine designed and mass-produced in accordance with the accepted definition of the carbine in the history of firearms.

Originally, the U.S. military provided a self-defense weapon for the second-line troops to replace the standard pistol. The specific tactical and technical index requirements proposed by the U.S. military are: the mass is less than 2.5kg, replacing pistols and submachine guns as sergeants, grassroots officers or machine gunners, gunners, signal soldiers or The basic weapon used by second-line personnel.

于1941年10月正式定型，并命名为“M1 0.30英寸（7.62mm）卡宾枪”。

The M1 Carbine has epoch-making significance. During World War II, the number of M1 Carbines exceeded 600 million. Most infantry were issued with M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles. Most basic officers such as squad leaders and platoon commanders held M1 Carbines.

Anyway, it is something that the Americans are about to develop. Yang Fan simply uses it in advance, and he will definitely make a lot of money in the future!

As for the bottom concave bullet, it refers to the shell that has a concave cavity at the bottom of the projectile to improve the shape of the projectile, reduce resistance, and increase the range of the projectile.

Compared with ordinary shells, the length-to-diameter ratio of the projectile is large, the center of gravity of the projectile is forward, the tail of the projectile with a bottom concave structure is lengthened, the flight resistance is reduced, the flight stability of the projectile is improved, and the shooting range can be increased by 7%~10%. .

In fact, in addition to this, Yang Fan also purchased a military technology for bottom discharge bombs, which is much more advanced than bottom concave bullets. For shells with the same shape, the range of bottom discharge bombs can exceed that of ordinary bullets by more than 30%.

Yang Fan naturally has to use this military technology for himself, and it is impossible to use it as an investment!

"I buy it! Genius, this is really a genius idea. It's just such a simple device, and it doesn't even need to add any cost, but it solves the problem of the pressure difference between the head and the tail of the shell and the eddy current at the tail. God, what a genius. Creative!"

Although Gary doesn't know much about technology, he understands business opportunities. He instantly realized that these blueprints contained huge business opportunities, and immediately turned his head to look at Daisy excitedly and said:

"It's great, our factory doesn't have to go bankrupt! Haha Daisy, your friend is really amazing! Where is he, can I talk to him face to face about the cooperative investment?"

Daisy smiled and said: "It should be my boss. He is not far from us in New York, and he can be there in an hour or two! If Dad thinks it is okay, I will let him come to our house tomorrow to be a guest. talk?"

chapter 471

"Of course! The sooner the better, baby, you don't know, our factory is almost out of wages! If it weren't for the timely rain from you, I really don't know what would have happened!"

Speaking of this, Gary was really scared for a while, and he was only a second away from seeing God.

"Okay! Dad, I'll call my boss at dawn tomorrow morning, I'm sure he will be very happy to hear it!"

Daisy nodded happily and said, although her family runs a munitions company, in fact, since she was sensible since she was a child, she knew that her family has always been living a tight and hard life.

Especially his father, Gary, who is busy all day long, trying to revitalize the arms company, but the business has always been very poor, often tearing down the west wall to make up for the east wall, one trouble after another!

If I can really help my father this time and make the family business flourish, then it will definitely be a great pride in life that I can brag about for the rest of my life!

The next morning, after Meng Wuan received a call from Daisy, Dang even organized a group of people to drive a Lincoln luxury car and two latest Ford Mercury cars to New Haven, Connecticut!

After some intense bargaining, Meng Wuan obtained 2% of Winchester's shares at the price of 50 patents, 500 US dollars and a large arms order of 30 million US dollars!

Although Taobao Mall has the most advanced weapons in the world, bullets, shells, grenades and other consumables that are in great demand are not as cheap as making them yourself!

Especially after owning 30% of the shares, you can still enjoy the profit share after placing the order, which is equivalent to a discount on the ex-factory price, so it is absolutely possible for Winchester to make more bullets and shells for inventory!

As for the issue of holding shares, Yang Fan didn't think about it, because it would easily attract the attention of the US federal government, and the series of actions were already high-profile!

Furthermore, Yang Fan has too many profit points, so there is really no need to catch a sheep and squeeze the wool hard!

"Meng, happy cooperation! Thank you very much for your generosity, you are a very amazing Chinese!"

After happily signing the contract, Gary clenched Meng Wuan's hand with great excitement. Although he paid 30% of the shares, Winchester Company ushered in a life-and-death turnaround!

Meng Wuan said with a smile: "I am also very happy. Our motherland is being invaded by the Japanese invaders. We need enough weapons and ammunition to resist the aggression! So our cooperation is a win-win situation!"

Meng Wu'an didn't stay long, and after discussing the business, he left Xia Chen and Qiu Peng to deal with the aftermath. The two of them will be responsible for the work hereafter!

Because Xia Chen is very likely to become Gary's eldest son-in-law, he is staying here for the purpose of emotional investment and cultivation in advance!

"Hey, when the money is used, I hate it! It's easy to earn money here, but it's even better to spend it! After going back and forth, the money I just earned is almost spent again! Next, I have to save some money to buy Ford shares. It's really worrying." La!"

After getting into the Lincoln car, Xia Chen couldn't help but start thinking about life again as he looked at the constantly receding scenery outside the window.

The stockings business is still booming, not only in the United States, but also in the entire Americas, and even many European businessmen from Britain, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands have come to negotiate business!

Otherwise, let alone the inability to carry out such a high-intensity capital operation, even the most basic procurement tasks assigned by Yang Fan would be difficult!

The storage center that has been completed has a large amount of oil, steel and other materials flowing in every day, and at the same time, there are convoys coming to pick up the goods every now and then!

Because we know that once the Pacific War breaks out, strategic materials such as oil and steel will be strictly controlled, and only local American companies will be eligible to purchase supplies.So store as much as you can store at this stage!

"Brother Wu, let's not get cheap and act good! Hee hee, we have only been there for more than three months, and we have achieved wealth that no one else can earn in a lifetime!"

At this moment, Shi Weifu, who was sitting next to him, joked with a smile, and then said with great emotion: "Our boss is really amazing, there is nothing in this world that he can't do!"

"Haha, there's no need to say that!"

Meng Wu'an pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "You've been out for three months, do you miss home?"

Shi Weifu sighed lightly and said: "It's hard to go out for a thousand days at home. There is no one who doesn't want to go home! However, everything we do is worthwhile. We can play a greater role here and contribute to the country and the nation. , so what if we are rooted in the United States?"

"That's right!"

While driving the car, Zeng Tao said with a smile, "If our Huben army didn't have so many advanced weapons and equipment, how could it be possible to withstand the crazy siege of the Japanese devils many times?

I didn't quite understand where the chief executive got his arms before, but only after I arrived in the United States did I realize that the chief executive has all-hands and eyes, and there are surprise soldiers deployed by him everywhere!

The United States deserves to be a powerful country in the West. It is so advanced and developed. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the transportation routes extend in all directions!

Hey, I don't know when our country will be able to settle down! "

"Haha! The master's ingenious calculations will win thousands of miles away, how can we speculate arbitrarily!

We just need to do things with peace of mind, not only will we have what we should have, but we will also be able to see the day when the motherland will stand up again and become prosperous! "

Meng Wu'an laughed a few times in a good mood. Thanks to his brother-in-law and Yang Fan's childhood, he has been flying on a plane for the past two years!

It only took so long to reach a height that many people can't reach in a lifetime. Meng Wu'an sighed to himself more than once or twice that the fate of life is so wonderful!

"Well, I'm looking forward to that day too!"

Shi Weifu nodded emphatically, with little stars shining in his eyes!

She was originally just an ordinary female college student. Even if she was killed half a year ago, she would never have imagined that she would travel across the ocean to America and become an important strong woman!

Such an encounter in life, no matter when you can hold your chest up and boast!

On December 12, the first phase of the Qiuxian Chemical Plant was completed!

Yang Fan once again came to the scene and held a very grand ribbon-cutting ceremony. So far, the long-awaited oil refining and chemical industry has finally formed an industrial chain!

With these two sources, downstream enterprises such as natural gas stations, explosives factories, fertilizer factories, plastic factories, injection molding factories, daily chemical factories, etc. can follow suit!

After finishing the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the chemical plant, Yang Fan took the opportunity to call all the officers above the brigade level to the headquarters to hold a high-level military meeting.

A large amount of strategic materials has been hoarded, the morale of the troops has been trained like a rainbow, all kinds of equipment are well configured and reasonable, and the newly added defense zone has been managed as steadily as Mount Tai. It is time to go out and exercise!
