Chu Tianyun left Quzhou County and left his 15-odd guards at the headquarters of the 11th Division to take care of his mother.
Each of them had a box cannon and nearly a hundred bullets. If anyone in the division was blind, they would be shot dead.
Chu Tianyun's horse galloped. He could still make it back to Shuiping Weir in time for lunch. He was anxious. The negotiations with the foreigners had to be carried out in the afternoon. The equipment for the bullet production line and rifle production line had to start now.
Time waited for no man. The development of history seemed to be a little off. The attack of the Protector Army was too shocking. In the original history, it was similar to Guizhou, Guangdong, and Shaanxi that only declared their independence at the later stages and established their autonomous governments. Now, they were opposing Yuan Datou so early.
In China, the anti-Yuan voices were unprecedentedly strong. Even the European powers that had always supported them slowly became neutral. Germany, in particular, even shifted its support to Zhang Zuolin's Fengxian warlords outside the Great Wall.
It was different! Originally, Zhang Zuolin had helped the direct line defeat the Wan faction after Yuan Datou abolished the Hongxian monarchical system. Only then did he unify the three eastern provinces. But now, Zhang Zuolin's Feng faction had become the second most powerful faction in China, second only to the Northern Warlords. They had more than 200,000 soldiers, and some of the artillery factories in Fengtian were even the envy of the Japanese.
The ten villages near Shuiping Weir were constantly reorganizing themselves. Some of the low-grade stone roads also connected the nearby factories to the third and fourth camps of Madong Mountain.
There was a phosphorous fertilizer factory, a clothing factory, the newly built second clothing factory, and even a match factory that was about to start operation!
The four carriages that would become Shuiping Weir would provide a strong guarantee for Shuiping Weir's economic and military development. Without an industrial foundation, a country could not be strong.
In the afternoon, an old-fashioned Ford parked at the entrance of Shuiping Weir with black smoke coming out of its tail.
Johnny Ford, the young master of the Ford family in the United States, had come to China in the past few months to sell the Ford family's Model T cars to some of the higher-ups in China.
In his opinion, China, with its large population, had the largest sales market in the world. Although this country was very poor and backward, there were still rich people in some coastal cities in China who could afford Ford cars.
Johnny, who was wearing a tuxedo, had a look of disdain on his face the moment he got out of the car. If it wasn't for the business this time, with his status, he wouldn't have come to this run-down place. He was just a small regiment commander who couldn't even be considered a local warlord.
However, the sharp-eyed Johnny also heard the sound of a machine not far away. It should be the sound of a crushing machine.
Then, a carriage came out of a large courtyard. The carriage was filled with clothes that had been processed.
The more Johnny looked at it, the more familiar it felt. A few days ago, he saw a British freighter on the dock in Shangningbo. It had such a simple design and extremely soft material.
Johnny gradually stopped underestimating them. Not only that, even though they were located on a hillside, some Chinese farmers were constantly laying stone roads. They did not know where they were going, but they were progressing very quickly.
The most shocking thing was that there were actually soldiers participating in this kind of work. From their cooperative expressions, it was obvious that these soldiers were very familiar with the local farmers.
This was a magical place!
He had come to try his luck this time, but at this moment, he was really curious. Perhaps this small warlord called Chu Tianyun would bring him some surprises.
Half an hour later, at Chu Tianyun's regiment headquarters!
"Mr. Johnny, how's the tea in Huaxia?”
Chu Tianyun had some understanding of the hobbies of foreigners, such as Longjing.
"Captain Chu Tianyun, China's tea is the same as Shuiping Weir. It makes me curious. As far as I know, China's warlords only know how to buy guns and cannons, or recruit more people. They never put their eyes on the industry or the people's livelihood!”
The list in Johnny's hand was the industrial machinery that Chu Tianyun needed to buy this time.
Two complete bullet production facilities, a Hanyang rifle production line, an industrial machine tool capable of producing 1,000 tons of pressure, a steel smelting facility capable of small-scale production, and a facility capable of small-scale hydraulic power generation…
Johnny estimated the value of these things to be about 50 million USD. This amount was too large. Even the Ford family would need to think carefully!
"Regiment Commander Chu, I'm sorry. Perhaps you still don't know how much the industrial equipment on this list is worth. The estimated value of these things is between 50 million to 60 million US dollars.”
Chu Tianyun's expression didn't change much. The price of these equipment was high, but for the Ford family, they could probably bite the bullet and eat them up.
" Mr. Johnny, don't jump to conclusions. I heard that your company is researching a device that can allow Ford cars to achieve electric start…"
Johnny was shocked. Electric starter equipment was Ford's top secret. How did Chu Tianyun know about it?
" Mr. Johnny, don't worry. It's just that I have a friend in the United States. He's at Ford. He accidentally told me when he was drunk…"
He couldn't tell him that Ford was able to manufacture electric starter equipment in 1919.
"Mr. Johnny, if I provide a fully developed electric starter, its value should be enough to offset 50 million USD!”
Then, Chu Tianyun handed the blueprint to Johnny.
"This is only part of the design blueprint for the electric starter. If Mr. Johnny doesn't believe me, you can send this part back to China and have someone verify it!”
Once the electric starter was installed in Ford, Ford's cars would occupy the entire American market, and the huge profits would far exceed 50 million USD.
"Regiment Commander Chu, if this is really the blueprint for the electric starter, the items on your list will be delivered to you within three months. Ford will be your friend forever!”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:05320181:56PM
