Chapter 210: 210 new managers
Chapter 210 210 New Manager
In the most luxurious office within Datang Group, Tang Mo was sitting in his seat, listening to Loew reporting to him the latest situation of the army.
On the huge map hanging on the wall, Loew pushed a willow leaf-shaped magnet that represented the approximate location of the battleship.
This map is very delicately made. The back panel is a piece of iron sheet, and all the marks on the map are made of magnets.
Such a design allows you to see your troop strength at a glance. The only flaw is that the map covered on the iron plate is easy to wear and needs to be replaced from time to time.
At this moment, it is extremely clear where all the battleships of the Datang Group are deployed with magnets.
Just listen to Loew's introduction: "Bunas 1 is on the way back to Bunas, Bunas 2 and Bunas 3 are heading north to Osa Military Port, Bunas 4 is on Long Island, Bunas Si No. 5 is on its way to Long Island, and Bunas No. 6 is stationed at Bunas Port. "
This kind of deployment can also be seen. Tang Mo has never sent the main force of his fleet to attack the Yangmu Kingdom. Two-thirds of his warships are either deployed on Black Dragon Island or on Bunas. One of the ships is on On the way back to Bunas.
At the same time, Tang Mo is building two new Wolf-class cruisers, and is also slowly building a Bunas-class battleship.
This Bunas-class battleship is ready to be sold. After all, with the more advanced Wolf-class cruiser, who would want the backward Bunas-class ironclad.
In order to purchase this new type of warship, the Kingdom of Wright paid a construction cost of 230,000 gold coins—this may be the most expensive warship in the history of this world.
But its record will soon be broken, because if the Wolf-class battleship Tang Mo is building is sold, the price will obviously be more terrifying.
After introducing the movements of the six warships, Loew then introduced the construction of the army forces: "Ground troops, of our two regiments, one regiment is deployed from Bunas to Northridge, and the other regiment is deployed On Dragon Island.”
Datang Group does not have any ground combat plans recently. His two regiments of troops mainly protect the safety of their own factories.
Therefore, although these troops are equipped with the most advanced weapons, their scale has not expanded much, which makes everyone in the Wright Kingdom very satisfied.
After all, having a powerful armed force at home that he cannot control will indeed keep the monarch awake at night.
However, this armed force maintained consistent restraint and did not often show aggression, which made Wright VII very satisfied.
Pointing to the magnets the size of Go pieces on the map, Loew said: "Among them, one battalion of the 1st Regiment is in Bunas, one battalion is in the No. 2 Factory, and one battalion is training in the Vicious Forest. They will be rotated regularly..."
Because Black Dragon Island does not sound very good, and Black Dragon does not fit well with Tang Mo’s golden dragon emblem, Datang Group decided to rename Black Dragon Island to Dragon Island, and the first city on Dragon Island was also named Dragon City.
So when mentioning Black Dragon Island, Loew was very used to using a new name to call the island controlled by Datang Group: "The 2nd Regiment on Dragon Island, one battalion is deployed in Dragon City, and the other two newly expanded The battalion is training.”
"In terms of weapons and equipment, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment is replacing the cannons with barrels. The 120 mm caliber C80 cannons originally equipped are being phased out. As second-hand weapons, they are ready to be sold to the newly formed No. 1 Beiling Army after all replacements are completed. 5th Army." Redman on the side also added.
He paused and gave a very ordinary summary of the military report: "Everything is going according to plan."
Indeed, everything is going according to Tang Mo's plan, so everything is under control. For a decision-maker, this in itself is good news.
Soon, it was the turn of the people in the sales department to introduce their work. Just listen to a young sales manager introduce: "Dorn's special envoy has already stayed at the Bunas Hotel, and they are negotiating with us on the purchase of 40 C80 breech-back field guns."
He is very quiet, wearing a suit designed by Tang Mo and wearing glasses, just like an ordinary job-seeking young man.
However, no one who knows his resume dare to underestimate him, because he is a ruthless person who received a scholarship at the Datang Military Academy and studied under Tang Mo for 4 months.
Those who can be trained by Tang Mo himself are technical talents who can convince the public. The young man in front of him was a professional talent trained by Tang Mo to negotiate business for him.
This young man named Harry already has at least 30% of Tang Mo's skills. Coupled with the technical advantages of Datang Group, he can compete with many veteran managers at the negotiation table.
Tang Mo looked at Harry and asked, "It's not just artillery, right?"
Young Harry is the sales general manager of Datang Group and is in charge of the external sales department of Datang Group. He nodded and said to Tang Mo: "Yes, Master. In fact, what they care about most is our G1 machine gun as a secret weapon."
Although Harry liked to call Tang Mo teacher or principal when no one was around, even if there was only one person present, even if that person was Tang Mo's personal guard Weiss, he would always use the word master to call Tang Mo.
He stated the purpose of the Dorn delegation’s visit: “They hope to purchase at least 10 G1 machine guns in the future.” Datang Group’s Maxim machine gun, also known as the G1 machine gun, has been equipped with many troops. Including Datang Group's own security forces, as well as troops from Beiling, as well as elites from the Kingdom of Wright and the Kingdom of Susas.
However, except for the Datang Group's security forces themselves, other troops have very little equipment. There are only 8 machine guns in Beiling, and only two per regiment. Even their newly formed 5th Army didn't even have one.
The main force of the Kingdom of Wright is equipped with 4 G1 machine guns, and the Kingdom of Susas also has 4.
These weapons are regarded as treasures by those who have seen them, and they are not easily shown to others. Even the training is conducted in secret. After the shooting, even the bullet casings are collected and counted.
Furthermore, both the Kingdom of Wright and the Kingdom of Susas are actively operating and hope to purchase more G1 machine guns.
“That’s a lot.” Tang Mo smiled when he heard the number of 10 machine guns.
Harry nodded slightly and continued to report: "Yes, but they are willing to sign a huge order at the same time."
Then he went through a lot of the other party's purchase list like a revolving door: "First of all, they are willing to purchase 40 C80 artillery pieces, plus matching transport carriages, ammunition carriages, and 1,500 grenades."
"Similarly, they are also willing to purchase 4,000 K1 fast guns, 500 new revolvers, and 1,000 K2 lever rifles. Including supporting equipment, ammunition, and related training..." Obviously, these "rags" also represent The sincerity of the other party.
“Is there more?” Tang Mo also knew that the other party’s sincerity must be far more than that.
Sure enough, Harry continued: "In addition, they also hope to build three bullet production factories, a K1 rifle production line, and a C80 artillery production line within their own country..."
Obviously, the sincerity of the other party is far more than that. The other party is actually willing to let Tang Mo set up his own intelligence network in the country: "Of course, during the negotiations, they focused on the telegraph machine. They hope that we can set up telegraph machines in their major cities. Station, set up at least 10.”
"Ten machine guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition..." Finally, after Harry finished speaking, he looked at Tang Mo and gave the other party's offer: "They are willing to pay 1.3 million gold coins for these..."
Of course, this quotation also includes a portion of the overflow “protection fee”. This money is probably used to pay for Tang Mo's advanced weapons, which can ensure the dividends for his continued expansion.
Tang Mo nodded slightly. The money given by the other party was obviously calculated and was a fair price. However, he decided to bargain with the other party again: "It's a reasonable price. But our profit is too low."
“I think so too,” Harry agreed immediately.
Tang Mo lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, blew out a puff of smoke, and ordered: "Then give them an offer of 2 million."
"That's right." Harry wrote down Tang Mo's request in his notebook, then seemed to remember something and said.
"Huh?" Tang Mo and several people around him looked at Harry, waiting for him to continue.
As expected, Harry mentioned another request of the other party: "They also hope to be able to hire graduates of Datang Military Academy. They require at least 10 people, 10 people per year."
"I have a big appetite, but I can temporarily agree to them and reduce the quota to 5. After all, we have to use some of it ourselves." Tang Mo actually admired the king of Dorne, who was obviously a more capable monarch. , compared with Wright VII, it seems to be even better.
Harry continued to write down in his notebook calmly: "Yes! Got it."
"Is there anything else?" Tang Mo saw that Harry still had something to say, so he asked directly.
Harry heard Tang Mo's question and continued: "With the special envoy, there are also representatives of Dorne's private chamber of commerce. They hope to raise their own funds to purchase railway tracks and trains and build a railway for their own use in the south of Dorne. railway."
“What’s the price?” Tang Mo asked casually.
"The budget we gave for the entire railway is 1.7 million gold coins. They hope to lower the price to 1.1 million gold coins. The differences between the two parties are quite large." Harry directly reported the price given by the other party.
Tang Mo thought for a while and let 100,000 gold coins go: "One million gold coins! Give it to them! We will also sell them the supporting rail production technology, but I want one-third of the equity of that railway!"
“Yes!” Harry nodded respectfully, indicating that he had nothing more to say.
