Chapter 10: The Rise of the Arms Dealer
Yang boss mysteriously took out a box of condoms from his medicine cabinet, then took out a bottle of Viagra, and then took out a plastic female product, demonstrating the usage to the fool in a suggestive manner. At this time, the fool's eyes were already very bright, and it is estimated that many people would believe him if he said he was not a fool.
In fact, he is just mentally handicapped and not stupid to the point of being an idiot. Yang Feng has done it to this extent, if he still doesn't understand then he really is an idiot.
"Take a look at this." Yang Feng smiled slyly and pulled out a small blue pill, then handed it to him with a filled ** saying: "You can try it tonight, take it half an hour in advance, and you'll know the benefits of this thing by then."
The fool's eyebrows opened with a smile and snatched it away, the two of them looked at each other, with a very affectionate taste, then saw the fool's gaze turn to that female product.
"Like it? I'll give it to you!" Yang Feng said generously, he still had several boxes of them. This thing was very popular among the European and American aristocrats in the Republic of China era.
"Erik, don't worry, this medicine has no side effects, of course, it can't be used excessively either. As for this thing, it's a good thing to avoid trouble." Yang Feng explained to the vampire beside him, in case he suspected that he was playing the role of a little devil.
The pale vampire, who didn't look very good to begin with, nodded slightly.
"Yang, get your carriage made as soon as possible, Eddie has been urging me for days." The vampire said while walking out of the study. Yang Feng's aluminum alloy carriage had recently received orders for dozens of vehicles, especially the fool who bought three at once. These orders were all provided by the customers themselves, and it was easy to make them with the beautiful portrait there.
"Also, I heard you're opening a factory?" The vampire asked further.
"Yes, a small light bulb factory, but I have many plans in the industrial sector, it just needs time to proceed slowly." Yang Feng said.
"If there's anything you need help with, don't hesitate to ask. I'm still capable of being of assistance in many things here in the UK." The vampire's face rarely showed a smile, but he did so now as he spoke.
He was truly grateful to Yang Feng, the idiot's identity was special, although his brain wasn't very useful, but this couldn't shake his identity, the only thing that could shake his identity was his health problems, now the stubborn illness that had plagued him for many years was easily solved by Yang Feng, naturally he was endlessly grateful.
Let's talk about a divine doctor who specializes in treating all kinds of terminal illnesses. He is sought after everywhere, and no one can afford to offend him, because no one knows when they will fall into his hands. After all, wealth, status, and power are all useless if you don't have your life.
"Thanks, Eric! If there's really a need for help somewhere, I'll definitely come find you first." Yang Feng said casually, but he was also very curious about what this fool's identity was. The old man's tone was quite big, even bigger than that of the nobles in the Imperial Senate.
Curiosity is curiosity, he has no interest in prying into other people's privacy. For a customer who has contributed wealth of no less than £100,000 to himself so far, whether he is a prince or a robber has nothing to do with him.
Back at the Jin Yuan company, Boss Yang sat in his office like a conspirator, thinking about his next move. With the funds now more than sufficient, plus the proceeds from the watch auction, his wealth was approaching two million pounds, a truly enormous fortune for this era, equivalent to tens of tons of gold, and still increasing at a rate of several thousand pounds per day, thanks to the popularity of aluminum alloy jewelry and the massive sales of aluminum alloy carriages, which were worth several tens of thousands of pounds each.
With such financial support, it is easy for him to open any kind of factory he wants.
The next thing to be built is a diesel engine factory, called Yang's Power System Company. However, it can't just build diesel engines and small tractors. Its real goal is steam turbines, then building warships. After making a name for itself, it will sell steam turbines to various European countries. I wonder what would happen if the German High Seas Fleet were all equipped with Parsons steam turbines and went on to duel with the British Navy again. This stuff has a strong sense of mission to wreak havoc on the world.
However, this means that in the UK, it is impossible to circumvent Parsons' patent rights. Although Parsons is still unknown at present, his small steam turbine workshop is barely operational, and he can only make a living by producing turbines for some small power generators, which also allows him to work on new technologies. But it's still far from being a giant monopoly, and I estimate that even Parsons himself doesn't have such dreams in his mind. His success will start with the Turbinia of the Royal Navy, but the Turbinia hasn't been built yet!
When the time comes, talk to him and it's best if he can buy it. If he can't, then we'll have to think of another way. If all else fails, we'll just have to get rid of him. After all, in London's fog, killing a small factory owner isn't anything that would cause much surprise or alarm.
However, this also woke up Yang Feng. He needs a group of people who specialize in doing dirty work. To know that there will be many such things in the future, now many new technologies in Europe have been invented, but they are not yet capable of industrial production.
Just like the steam turbine, apart from Parsons, there were several people who owned patents in different forms, some of which were only available for production after more than a decade, such as Laval was not as good as Parsons, mainly because his steam turbine had too high requirements in the production link.
It's just that people who do this kind of dirty work are hard to find, they don't trust those foreigners themselves, using Chinese in Europe for dirty work is a joke, and in his opinion, using Chinese may not be as reassuring as using foreigners.
Where can I find someone trustworthy? This guy couldn't help but lament, after all, he was still too weak. If he had enough strength, this wouldn't be a headache-worthy problem.
Besides, he lacks not only a person who can handle dirty work but also an industrial base, you know his
The plan is not just an engine, the real goal of this stuff is to be a military merchant, making guns and cannons, now Europe is eager to fight, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.
In this era, there are too many things that can be made by him, even automatic pistols don't exist, let alone army-used recoilless guns. Although the quality of steel is also relatively poor, it's not a problem for him at all. Not to mention those modern steel smelting materials, just using the alloy steel on the sewing machine can make many things.
For example, the pistol, Parabellum pistol has not been invented yet, and there is no Mauser C96, nor grenade launchers, not even modern hand grenades. As for the Schneider 75mm, it's even more unimaginable. There are only Maxim guns and Gatling guns, what about Hotchkiss, Browning, Lewis? None of them exist! This is simply a treasure trove!
Just thinking about it, the various new-style weapons produced by ourselves will be constantly delivered to the hands of European powers, and then let them use these weapons to fight bloody battles, this guy has a kind of inexplicable excitement.
This military base must first be located in a country that will remain neutral afterwards, secondly this country must have sufficient technical workers, and thirdly it must also have iron and steel resources. Hmm, considering these factors, only the Lin family can meet them.
At that time, Sweden was not a good place at all. In fact, the current Sweden is still far behind European industrial countries. To put it bluntly, it is even inferior to Russia. In the eyes of Britain and France, it belongs to the standard poor rural areas. Otherwise, the Nobel family would not have had to go to Russia for development.
It was at this time that the Swedes began to move towards industrialized nations, and finally, under the leadership of a group of revisionist elements, developed into one of the favorite places for true communists to go after a hundred years.
Swedish steel is really something, the quality is so high it's scary. I reckon the products we produced during the Great Leap Forward can't even compare to their iron ore in terms of iron content. Didn't Bofors develop on the basis of its steel quality? Don't know if that old playboy has bought it yet, if not then it would be a mistake to miss out.
Anyway, even if he has already made a move, it's not a big deal, just open another one. When Nobel bought Bofors, it only cost 1.3 million Swedish kronor, which is equivalent to the price of three aluminum horse carriages.
"Caroline, you said I'm going to set up a factory in Sweden, will the Swedish government welcome me?" He immediately ran to find Lin Luoke and asked her as he knelt down in front of her.
These days, this little girl has been plagued by his Van Gogh roses. With a group of like-minded girls, apart from attending classes, they are always in the painting studio. Although the results are remarkable, she also has a bit of the temperament of a modern artist, in short, she looks like she can't be bothered to dress up anymore. However, her messy hair also has a somewhat cute taste.
Yang Feng's words made her eyes shine, and she nodded repeatedly with a smile. She was naturally delighted, now that she and Yang Feng were in a romantic relationship. If Yang Feng went to Sweden for development, then there would be no obstacles on the family side in the future.
"But I'm not familiar with your place at all?" Yang Feng said with a pretended worried look.
"You can go to Gothenburg, I'll introduce you to my brother, and our family also has a factory, my brother understands these things too, you can cooperate." Lin Luoke said with some excitement, thinking of this point made her full of hope for the future.
"Ah, that's great! How can I thank you? As it happens, there's a dance party tonight, would you like to be my partner?" Yang Feng said with a smile.
The little girl nodded with a red face.
