Chapter 215 Hans's Big Deal: A Total Order of 30 Billion Marks
This time, Hans, a major customer, brought Datang International a total of more than 20 billion Reichsmarks in intended orders.
If we include the training costs, logistical support, etc. of their navy, army and air force in the ancient country, the total amount is about 30 billion.
These 30 billion marks converted into silver dollars would be 60 billion.
This is equivalent to more than twice and nearly three times the fiscal revenue of the Restoration Government for 32 years.
When Jiang Hua saw this number, he was also shocked by Hans's generosity.
I didn't think it was a big deal before, but when I added up the accounts, I realized how big their purchasing scale was.
If he remembered correctly, Hans' military expenditure this year was only about 10 billion yuan.
Although this money is not taken out all at once, but is spread over three to five years.
But this amount of money is definitely not a small sum for Hans.
For him and even the Restoration Government, this amount of money was a huge sum, and it was foreign currency.
"Immediately draw up a list of partners for the business delegation to Hans. We can cooperate not only in military affairs but also in trade.
In particular, we need to introduce their industrial production system, which is the most important thing for us."
After hearing Jiang Hua's words, Chu Anshi nodded and said, "We are drawing up a list and will focus on learning some of their experience and technology in the heavy industry system.
We will strive to attract some investment to build and improve our basic industrial chains in the automotive, aviation, and shipbuilding sectors.”
Foreign investment will accelerate the government's industrial development, and at the same time will be able to introduce more funds and management systems, which will be of great help in improving their industrial chain in this regard.
Although the Red Alert Base can provide machines and technology, the industrial chain cannot rely solely on these, and experience is also particularly important.
As a long-established industrial power, Hans' experience in light and heavy industries is something they desperately need.
This is also the main purpose of the business delegation's visit to Hans.
In these aspects, there is still a gap between the Renaissance government and these old empires.
However, the starting point of the Restoration Government is very high, and it won't take too long to catch up with them.
"We serve as their teachers in military affairs, and we also let them serve as our teachers in industrial development. Learning from each other's strengths and overcoming our weaknesses is our top priority now.
The Hans’ rigorous approach to things is also something we can learn from.”
"Yes, I understand!"
After Chu Anshi left, the guest Jiang Hua was waiting for finally arrived at Taiye Lake.
At Taiye Lake, Xue Yun, the director of the General Office, personally led the Huang brothers and sisters to Yinian Hall.
When they entered the Taiye Lake, the Huang brother and sister looked at everything here curiously, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
This was once a royal garden, and ordinary people could not enter.
"It's worthy of being a royal garden. Our villa is nothing compared to it. There's no comparison at all."
"You two, please go in. The chairman is waiting for you."
After bringing the two into the reception room, Xue Yun retreated.
Huang Shuye and Huang Jiahui looked at each other, suppressed their nervousness, and walked straight in.
They were full of curiosity about Jiang Hua, whom they had never met before.
There was not only Jiang Hua in the reception room, but also Eva, who was the confidential secretary and personal secretary.
When they saw Jiang Hua, the Huang brothers and sisters were very surprised.
They had heard that Jiang Hua, the chairman of the Fuxing Army, was very young, but they didn't expect him to be so young.
To Huang Shuye, he looks even younger than his own sister.
You have to know that Huang Jiahui is only 22 years old this year.
He has become a big man in charge of a region at such a young age, and in the future he may even unify the ancient country and become a figure above everyone else.
But what about this foreigner?
Huang Shuye glanced at Eva, who was wearing a black women's suit, and felt a little curious.
Jiang Hua was also stunned when he saw the two people come in, and his eyes were fixed on Huang Jiahui who was following behind Huang Shuye.
Coming from a different world in modern time and space, he may not have seen countless women, but in that era when there were all kinds of Internet goddesses, his vision had already become very discerning.
But when I saw Huang Jiahui, I still felt a little surprised.
Today, Huang Jiahui is still wearing a well-tailored light-colored cheongsam, and the silk and satin tightly wraps her graceful figure.
It looks dignified and elegant, yet still feminine and gentle.
It also shows her gentle and soft temperament.
This kind of temperament, which has been cultivated over the years, is incomparable to those internet celebrities.
Jiang Hua only glanced at them, then looked away. With a gentle smile on his face, he said to the two of them, "I've been waiting for you for a while. Please sit down!"
Huang Shuye said with some shame, "Chairman Jiang, I was not thoughtful enough about going to Shanghai. I never thought that Mao Li would be so bold.
If you hadn't gone to great lengths to send someone to rescue my brother and me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you."
Jiang Hua waved his hand and said, "Since you are our friends, no matter what means we use, as long as we can rescue you, that is what we should do.
I would also like to thank you for the donations you have brought on behalf of the Restoration Army and the Restoration Government."
After a few pleasantries, Jiang Hua turned the topic to the Huang family.
"I heard that your Huang family is the largest palm planter in the Dutch colonial region?"
Huang Shuye shook his head and said, "I can't say we're the largest, but our Huang family's palm and rubber plantations are indeed among the best in the Dutch colonies."
Rubber has been a strategic material since its birth, and has a wide range of uses in military, industry, and all aspects of life.
Not to mention palm oil, which is known as one of the world's three major vegetable oils along with soybean oil and rapeseed oil.
Whether it is palm or rubber, the largest planting area is in Southeast Asia.
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Hua values the Huang family.
"What do you think if we are willing to support your Huang family to become the largest rubber supplier in the Nanyang region?"
After hearing Jiang Hua's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Huang Shuye and Huang Jiahui's eyes.
The Dutch colonies are not on the same level as the South Seas.
There was a huge difference between the largest rubber supplier in the Dutch colonies and the largest rubber supplier in Southeast Asia.
"What does Chairman Jiang mean by this? And what will our Huang family have to pay?"
Huang Shuye was surprised and asked hesitantly.
Jiang Hua smiled and explained, "Rubber is an extremely important strategic material. The future industrial and military development of the ancient country will require a huge amount of rubber.
And this demand is increasing exponentially.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of rubber channels, we must have someone in the Nanyang region to provide a stable source of rubber for the ancient country.
Your Huang family is the first in the Nanyang region to openly support us.
I've also seen your performance in Shanghai, so our Fuxing government is willing to help your Huang family develop. This is mutually beneficial."
Huang Shuye became particularly excited after hearing this.
One reason is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity for the Huang family.
Secondly, his actions were recognized by Jiang Hua, which made him very excited.
Huang Shuye stood up excitedly, patting his chest and assuring, "Chairman, you can rest assured. From now on, our Huang family will be your most steadfast follower.
We will not let the Chairman and the country down."
Jiang Hua waved his hand and said, "There's no need to get so excited. This is just a reward for your patriotic behavior."
This is just one of the reasons why he chose to support the Huang family.
In fact, beneath this purpose, there is a deeper purpose hidden.
That was the Dutch colony.
In Jiang Hua's view, the Netherlands is a soft persimmon, and the time has come to pick this soft persimmon, but now is not the time.
It was easy to conquer the Dutch colony, but how to manage this place and in what form it should be integrated into the sphere of influence of the ancient country were issues he was thinking about.
The main reason is that the Restoration Army lacks supporters here.
At this time, the Huang family jumped out and naturally caught his attention.
A series of plans took shape directly in his mind.
Making the Huang family the largest supplier of rubber and palm oil in Southeast Asia is also an important part of the plan.
And this plan has another big benefit.
That is to set an example and benchmark among overseas Chinese communities.
Let all Chinese and overseas Chinese see that if they choose to support the Renaissance Army, they will be able to gain the friendship of the Renaissance Army.
"I heard that you two siblings are planning to invest and build a factory here in the mainland?"
At this time, Huang Shuye was a little distracted and did not hear Jiang Hua's question clearly. Huang Jiahui took a look and calmly took over the topic.
"Yes, after seeing that the political situation in the north was stable and the people were living and working in peace and contentment, my father planned to transfer some of his assets back home and establish new industries here."
Jiang Hua glanced at her. This seemingly younger sister seemed calmer than her older brother Huang Shuye.
"So what are your plans or goals?"
At this time, Huang Shuye also came back to his senses, but since his sister had already taken over the topic, he stopped talking and sat down again.
"My eldest brother and I plan to use this time to investigate and see what field is more suitable for us."
Huang Jiahui said truthfully.
“I do have a suggestion. Since your Huang family is engaged in the cultivation of palm, rubber and fruits.
It would be better to invest in rubber, palm oil and fruit processing plants in the country, where you also have natural advantages.
Moreover, rubber, palm oil and fruit all have large domestic markets, and not much capital is entering this market.”
Jiang Hua also wanted to use the Huang family to improve the relevant industrial chain.
Huang Jiahui's eyes lit up after hearing this suggestion.
"Then our Huang family will invest in these areas in the future."
Time flies, and soon it is March 33.
Several major events occurred in both the army and navy of the Fuxing Army this month.
The army has now completed the equipment replacement, and the General Staff has begun to make final fine-tuning to the troop organization.
This is a reasonable adjustment based on feedback from existing equipment after it has been put into service.
The adjustment will be completed before April.
Because April 4st is when the Fuxing Army marches south.
The Navy will put two new types of ships into service in March.
These were the Iowa-class battleships and Midway-class medium aircraft carriers that Jiang Hua had been looking forward to for a long time.
