After ordering the servants to brew tea, only Qin Yu, Chen Jitang, and a confidant with the rank of major were left in the room.
From the looks of it, they should be personal guards.
Qin Yu did not bother to be polite and went straight to the point.
"General Chen, I'm the general manager of Giant God Company. The company's main businesses are biomedicine, light and heavy industries, military industries, shipbuilding, and shipping.”
"The reason why I'm investing in Yan Huang this time is firstly to increase the number of jobs for our country, and secondly, I hope to be able to produce good quality and cheap goods for the benefit of the people of Yan Huang.”
"Therefore, I have decided to rent or purchase 10,000 mu of land in Qin Province to build an industrial base.”
Giant God Company?
Mainly engaged in biomedicine, light and heavy industries, and military industries?
Chen Jitang wasn't a boorish man, he was very meticulous.
From these few sentences, he had grasped a key point.
Military industry!
What did Yan Huang lack the most?
Military Fire!
Ever since the West imposed an arms ban on Yan Huang, Yan Huang's weapons and equipment were basically manufactured by a few domestic arsenals, such as the Jinling Arsenal and the Hanyang Arsenal.
The scale of these few factories was very small, and their output was not large. They could only produce light weapons.
Heavy weapons like cannons basically needed to be imported.
Cannons were a rare thing, and even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Guangdong Army did not have many.
"Mr. Qin can transport machinery and equipment from the United States to produce weapons?”
Qin Yu said without hesitation,"Yes. Actually, you can buy any weapon now. I can sell you planes, tanks, artillery, guns, and ammunition."”
"But the quantity is limited. Tens of thousands of rifles and hundreds of cannons are not a problem.”
Chen Jitang was speechless.
The adjutant was speechless.
Young man, do you have some misunderstanding about the words "limited quantity"?
What was the concept of tens of thousands of rifles and hundreds of cannons?
Even if you said you could sell me a few thousand rifles or a few dozen cannons, I would be so happy that I would jump up and down.
Chen Jitang struggled to digest the information in these words and asked with some doubt,""Mr. Qin, is this true?"
"Really!"
Qin Yu nodded.
The storage space was 15 meters in length, width, and height, so it could store a lot of things.
Moreover, wasn't it easy to collect soul force in the Otherworld to upgrade the storage space? He could kill as many devils as he wanted.
General Chen, do you need a weapon?"
Chen Jitang said seriously," Yes, very much. Not to mention our Guangdong army, the whole country is short of weapons. If you can really transport them in, you will probably fight to the death to buy them."”
"No, no, no. Giant God Corporation will not be doing arms trade for the time being. Selling weapons to you, General Chen, is also a way to thank you for renting the land.”
The reason why Qin Yu did not do the arms trade for the time being was also to avoid attracting the attention of large factions.
Before he had the ability to protect himself, it was better for him to develop a little.
He had to wait for the Giant God's PAC army to be established and for the three armed forces to take shape.
Chen Jitang was puzzled by Qin Yu's words."Mr. Qin, are you afraid that the western powers will stop you?”
"Yes and no."
"General Chen, business has its own way of doing business. We also do not dare to violate the rules set by the powerful western countries.”
"Hahaha, that's true. I've said too much.”
Chen Jitang smiled and changed the topic. He pointed at the map of Guangdong Province on the wall.
"I can sell you the land in Ginkou. If 10,000 mu isn't enough, 20,000 mu or 30,000 mu won't be a problem, as long as Mister Qin can afford it.”
"10,000 mu is enough. I can buy it for 1,000,000 meters of gold. It should be nearly five times higher than the market price.”
Land prices during the Republic of China were pitifully low.
Before transmigrating, Qin Yu had seen an old land deed in Daxing, Beiping. It was written that in the tenth month of the lunar calendar in the tenth year of the Republic of China, a tenant surnamed Liu in Kangying Village of Daxing bought four mu and three pieces of land from the landlord for a total of seven dollars. In other words, one mu of land was not worth two dollars.
The purchasing power of the ocean was very strong, but no matter how strong it was, a piece of ocean could not buy 100 catties of rice in the Republic of China. At most, it was equivalent to 200 yuan in the current era.
Two bucks? At most, it was equivalent to 400 yuan. Spending 400 yuan to buy an acre of land, was he daydreaming?
It was really not a daydream. The land in the countryside during the Republic of China was so cheap.
Not to mention the countryside, even the land price in Beiping was frighteningly low. Qin Yu had also seen another old land deed. It showed that in 1616, a dilapidated family named Song Hai sold a piece of land outside Dongzhimen and inside Guanghimen. The area was one mu and five cents, and the selling price was thirty-six yuan.
At that time, the monthly salary of a real professor at Peking University could be as high as 260 yuan. In other words, teaching for a month could buy ten acres of land.
In 1930, the National Government's Bureau of Accounting-General published a book on land issues. The first section of the sixth chapter of the book listed the average land prices of each province in the country.
Converted into oceans, each mu of land in Guizhou Province was less than one yuan, each mu of land in Gan Province was less than ten yuan, each mu of land in Henan Province was thirteen yuan, and the average land price in Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province was the highest, only fifty oceans per mu.
It could be seen that low land prices had become a common phenomenon in this era.
One meter was worth 2.4 yuan, which was 240 yuan per mu of land. It was already considered a sky-high price.
Even Chen Jitang, who had been through a lot, was stunned and asked in disbelief.
"One million rice gold to buy ten thousand mu of land?”
