"Oh, dear James, please sit down.
Please sit down.
I can guarantee you that during this period, I have definitely missed you more than my coquettish girlfriend."
Rogers opened the office door enthusiastically and welcomed Jason.
Go inside.
He said to the female secretary next to him, "Go and make a cup of coffee for my most distinguished client.
Hurry up."
"Stop your tricks.
Why, has your company thought about it?"
James sat down at the opposite table with a briefcase and said with a faint smile.
"Of course I have thought about it.
Money is everything.
Since your company has agreed to the price increase, we can naturally meet your request."
Rogers laughed.
"Very good.
Now that you have agreed, we will formally draw up the contract in two days and finalize this transaction."
The simple conversation between the two parties ended quickly.
After finishing his brief conversation with Rogers, Jens left the other party's office and took the special car that had been prepared outside.
Jens soon arrived at another place in the east of the city that didn't look too conspicuous, a three-story building.
Inside the high villa on the left and right.
However, in the ordinary small high-rise outside, it is heavily guarded inside.
The outermost ones are black thugs, the next ones are white thugs, and the core layer is composed of a few yellow-skinned people.
Their bodies are not very sturdy, but their eyes are.
An extremely sharp and yellow-skinned security guard.
Although James is white, he did not dare to be slow to deal with these yellow-skinned security guards.
At first, the white and black security guards on the outside had some friction with the yellow security guards inside, and the higher-ups seemed to intend to allow this small conflict. , but since several white and black security guards fell down and stayed in the hospital for a period of time, the remaining people became more honest.
"Sir, the order has been negotiated."
James was not as presumptuous as he was opposite Rogers.
Instead, he stood respectfully in front of a middle-aged man who looked a little noble but was only wearing a simple tunic suit. .
"Yes, I understand.
There will be a dedicated person responsible for the supervision of these engines.
There is something in New York that needs you to deal with.
After the contract is signed tomorrow, you have two days of leisure and then go to New York."
Feng Yong nodded.
"Yes, sir."
James nodded, asked a few more questions, and then went out.
"Even James, who usually looks down on Chinese people and always looks down on Chinese people, was taken care of by Mr.
Feng."
After James left, Situ Meitang came out of the room next to him and said with a smile.
"We can bring their family back from the gate of hell, and we can also send them in.
Besides, there are also foreigners who know how to repay their kindness.
This James has a pretty good character.
Otherwise, these two transactions would not let him Take responsibility."
Feng Yong smiled calmly.
He had been in the United States for so long and was still not used to American coffee.

He poured Situ Meitang a cup of tea.
Situ Meitang nodded when he heard this.
This James's brother was full of all kinds of evils and had borrowed loan sharks at usury.
Even if he was the most beautiful person in the future and got involved with underground forces, his end would be very miserable.
Especially in this era.
Not only was James' younger brother torn into pieces by gangsters, but James's family was also involved.
To say that James' abilities are pretty good, he had run a small company before, but such a small company was undoubtedly too small to deal with gangsters.
He was bankrupted by the gang, and his younger sister was captured and became a young lady.
Unable to repay his heavy debt, the two missing fingers on his hand were chopped off by a gangster's axe.
The gang even detained his wife and daughter, forcing him to use all means to repay the debt.
It's a pity that loan sharks are just eating people without spitting out their bones.
No matter how hard he works, he has to watch the debt amount continue to increase.
But it was also at this time that by chance, Feng Yong gave him a hand.
And they tied up the most ferocious gangsters and sent them to Zhans.
Zhans was originally just an ordinary person who opened a small company, but out of crazy hatred, Zhans chopped those people into pieces with an axe.
Dozens of dollars.
From that moment on, Jens became part of the group.
Due to his outstanding abilities, he quickly became one of the most important white men in the group.
"Since last year, the war in the country has been very fierce.
It's a pity that my old bones are no longer useful.
Otherwise, I would have to go back to the country and compete with the Japanese army."
Situ Meitang sighed.
"Boss, please be humble.
With your body, even a strong man can do nothing.
Besides, the role played by the boss in the United States is no less than that of a general on the battlefield.
The commander's industry in the United States needs Where is Gu Fu?
Without the foundation laid by Hongmen, even if we have strength, there will be nothing we can do."
Feng Yong shook his head and said.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore.
Hongmen has always been attached to the homeland.
Now the country is undergoing great changes and the war with the Japanese army is in full swing.
Everyone in Hongmen wants to contribute to this war.
Hongmen children There are some passionate men here who want to return to the country to join the war, and I hope Mr.
Feng can agree."
Situ Meitang expressed his intention.
"No matter what, we are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
We are all passionate about Hongmen.
We can't pour cold water on the northwest.
However, some factories here in the United States also need their own people to take care of them.
After all, foreigners are not trustworthy yet.
The number of people who have returned to China cannot be Too much, it shakes our foundation here.”
Feng Yong thought for a while and said, this is the third time that Hongmen has made such a request.
Repeatedly recommending it seems a bit excessive.
The reason why the group has been able to develop so fast in the United States in recent years is because of Situ.
It is still inseparable from the full support of the Chinese in Meitang.

With the expansion of penicillin, sulfa drugs, sildenafil and other drugs, the huge pharmaceutical group has strong ability to attract money, and there are also some fields that the group has entered under Jiang Li's instruction in recent years.
If the group hadn't repeatedly allocated a large amount of funds to the Northwest for blood transfusions, I'm afraid it wouldn't be far behind the major consortiums in the United States.
However, it is not as big as the largest ones like Rockefeller.
Compared with some of the second-rate consortiums in the United States, the group's scale is relatively high.
However, the group has developed so rapidly in just a few years.
Without the help of Hongmen, trying to establish a foothold and take root in the United States would be tantamount to wishful thinking.
And Hongmen was not willing to keep wandering abroad.
Seeing the war in the country, he still had the idea of returning to his roots.
It’s really hard to refuse.
In the past, Mr.
Sun was resolute in drawing a clear line with Hongmen, but Northwest was unable to do such a thing that chilled people's hearts.
"Okay, okay, I'm ready.
We can set off at any time."
When Situ Meitang heard Feng Yong's promise, the wrinkles on his face suddenly relaxed.
After all, the Kuomintang, which Hongmen had greatly helped in the past, directly rejected them.
Outside the door.
With Feng Yong's approval this time, Situ Meitang knew how hard-won this recognition was.
People in Hongmen are patriotic.
Even if they live overseas, they have never stayed out of the domestic crises.
Since the founding of the Republic of China, overseas Chinese have time and again squeezed out precious funds to support the country even though they themselves are not well off.
Even after the Republic of China became a trend, they were directly excluded from the top management.
Later, during the Anti-Japanese War, they still donated money and materials again and again.
Such a group of wandering people just want to return to their homeland one day and have a certain say.
Such interests are also very important. normal.
But these Chinese are afraid of being shut out again.
In America, they are treated as third-class citizens.
If even the country does not agree with this, it will be a deep harm to these enthusiastic Chinese people.
Feng Yong and Jiang Li had also communicated on this point, so when Situ Meitang mentioned it, Feng Yong immediately agreed.
"Big bosses at the airlines, please be more careful.
The current domestic war is very difficult.
The more we can contribute, the less domestic casualties will be."
"The company is currently expanding, but it still has to focus on acquiring other companies.
Relying on our own expansion alone is too slow," Situ Meitang said.
"The acquisition is already being discussed.
There is nothing we can do about it.
There is nothing we can do about the country having taken away so many technical backbones and making development slower."
Feng Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although Jiang Li had sent people like Zeng Yijing and Wang Xiaofeng to the United States to carry out some aircraft manufacturing, most of them were focused on experiments and not mass production.
Later, these people also returned to the country in batches, and even a large part of the machinery was taken away.
Besides, once the group has grown to its current scale, it is impossible to cover everything.
Although the group has secretly traded part of the shares in several aircraft manufacturers, it is still far from holding a controlling stake.
"Try your best.
Besides, isn't the production of the engine concluded this time?"
Situ Meitang said with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, no matter how difficult it is, it won't be more difficult than fighting in China."

After the exchange, Feng Yong's unhappiness dissipated a little.
The engine order placed this time was for the Westwind dive bomber.
The first batch of orders was only 300 units.
However, because the requirements were a bit high, it was not easy to negotiate at first.
Later, after the cost of a single engine was increased by US$300, we finally got it.
This matter has been resolved.
"Whether Mr.
Feng's funds are sufficient?
If not, Hongmen can raise some more.
I can't say anything else.
One or two hundred more engines will not be a problem."
As the group has expanded in recent years, the Chinese have also been the most direct beneficiaries.
From the coolies in the past, they are now the technical backbone of various pharmaceutical factories and other factories.
These Chinese are more hard-working than the native Americans.
All they lack is a platform.
Once they have a suitable platform, their achievements are no worse than those of white people.
Even better.
In recent years, the Chinese have also rapidly accumulated some wealth.
The Kuomintang has raised many donations in North America before, and now is no exception.
However, there is a rift between the two parties.
In addition, Hongmen has moved closer to the northwest.
The funds raised by the Kuomintang in North America are now very limited.
But as long as Situ Meitang comes forward, the situation will naturally be different.
"Forget it, then it's time for you, Mr.
Lao.
The contribution made by the Chinese will not be forgotten by the Northwest, and neither will the group."
Feng Yong thought about it for a moment, and then finally nodded.
Although the group's annual profits are astonishing, the business is getting bigger, and money is needed everywhere.
Besides, the engine orders are not only from Meilijian, but also to Rolls-Royce Engine Company.
The order is even more terrifying.
There are more than two thousand units.
In addition, the group spent huge sums of money to charter ships, set up a shipping company, buy shares in a large shipyard, train shipbuilding technicians, and recruit some American students who studied ship design in the Republic of China as designers, all of which cost the group a lot of money. funds.
Some shares in the pharmaceutical factory were even exchanged.
Feng Yong didn't quite understand Jiang Li's insistence, but out of his usual trust in Jiang Li, Feng Yong still did it.
After all, Jiang Li was in a different position.
Until now, Feng Yong was quite impressed by Jiang Li's vision.
Northwest also had some considerations when placing the order.
The bomber engine order was placed with the United States.
The order for the Dragon fighter engine was placed with Rolls-Royce Engine Company.
Jiang Li is not worried about technology leaks.
In fact, the level of Rolls-Royce Engine Company is more than a little higher than that of Northwest China.
Historically, several main Allied fighter aircraft in World War II have the shadow of Rolls-Royce Company.
Besides, a good fighter must have a good engine, but having a good engine may not necessarily make a good fighter.
The British Spitfire is not weaker than the Northwest, so even if the Northwest's Feilong engine is known, there will not be much loss to the Northwest.
Besides, these engine orders were placed through Feng Yong's group.

Although a large number of industrial machine tools and tens of thousands of various manufacturing equipment were purchased from the United States this time, it will indeed take some time to digest them.
It is unrealistic to suddenly increase the military production capacity of the northwest to the point where it can completely compete with the Japanese army.
And in Jiang Li's eyes, simply investing all resources in the military would not be good for the development of the northwest itself.
There are now large iron ore mines in the northwest, as well as sufficient oil deposits.
The most important thing to do now is to increase the exploration of steel and oil.
Increase the scale of northwest machinery manufacturing industry.
But these are inseparable from huge infrastructure construction, as well as a large amount of capital and resource investment.
If all limited power is invested in the military industry, it will be extremely detrimental to other fields in the northwest.
After all, the funds and power that Northwest has on hand can only do so much.
If too much is allocated to the military industry, other fields will naturally be diluted.
Therefore, during non-war periods, it is logical to make use of the manufacturing capabilities of foreign powers in this area.
Northwest industry currently lacks scale.
Only when the foundation is stronger can we go further in the future.
The skill of sharpening a knife and chopping firewood without missing a beat.
While the Soviet Union began to be wary of the northwest, Jiang Li was also preparing for possible changes in the future.
Moreover, the biggest constraint on Northwest's aircraft production is the engines.
If they can get the number of engines on these orders, even half of them, it will be enough to change the current war situation to a considerable extent
