Mitsui Yasuki came out of He Rui's place. After walking a few steps, he felt that he was sweating under the scorching sun. Recalling the cold winter outside the pass, Mitsui Yasuki was a little surprised by the blazing summer outside the pass.

The temperature hasn't reached this level either.

Noguchi Nobuo followed and saw that Mitsui Yasuki was in a good mood, so he asked: "Mr. Mitsui, does Marshal He like the gift you gave him?"

Mitsui thought for a while, but did not remember that He Rui glanced at the gift. Mitsui told Noguchi Nobuo: "You go ahead and do it. No matter what, the coal mine in Hegang must be mined as soon as possible."

"The mine in Siping has also been developed, but the price is a bit more expensive than expected. Can Mr. Mitsui tell Marshal He about this?"

Mitsui Yasuki finally understood why Noguchi Nobuo asked He Rui if he liked gifts. Recalling the scrupulousness and greed of the guys in charge of procurement in the Japanese General Staff Department, Mitsui Yasuki was a little surprised, "Could it be that He Jun's subordinates

Don’t accept gifts?”

"Yes. I have tried my best, but there are no worthy cadres to collect money."

Looking at the crowds of pedestrians dressed in cool clothes along the street in Fengtian and feeling the blazing temperature, Mitsui Yasuki felt that this was a really interesting place with really interesting people.

What Mitsui didn't know was that He Rui couldn't help but sigh at this time, there are really many interesting people in this world.

Even though he had already heard about the French businessman Terezov from Wu Youping, He Rui couldn't help but admire this somewhat careless guy.

After sorting out his thoughts, He Rui asked: "Mr. Terezov, you mean that you used the advance payment that Mr. Magron gave you, and it was not used to purchase equipment. My

Do you understand correctly?"

Faced with such accusations, Terezov could not help but feel no shame. Instead, he replied confidently: "Yes, I bought jewelry from a Jewish businessman and gave it to the wife of the Russian Minister of Munitions."

He Rui understood what this meant. Accepting bribes was a tradition in Europe and the United States. Since Terezov was so confident, either he was an excellent liar or he really had connections.

So He Rui smiled and said: "Are the prices given by Jewish profiteers reasonable?"

Seeing He Rui ask about this, Terezov smiled and said, "That set of jewelry is an heirloom of a French noble family. Even during the French Revolution, they didn't get rid of the treasure. This time they really had no choice, so they were forced to

Take action. The countess saw this piece of jewelry at the ball..."

Here Terezov was beaming as he spoke, while the French businessman Magalon next to him had a more complicated expression. He Rui thought of the saying that Magalon got his current status because he slept with the minister's wife, and he couldn't help but feel that these two were very

interesting.

Fortunately, Magron also felt that Terezov's chatter was boring, so he interrupted Terezov's narration and made a concluding speech to He Rui, "Sir, can you start stocking up?"

He Rui felt that he could understand Wu Youping's dilemma. In the original agreement, Magalong also needed to come up with a batch of equipment, and He Rui would produce a batch of weapons for Magalong. The risk was shared. Now Magalong is giving it to Jie

The money that Rezov spent on purchasing equipment was misappropriated by Terezov to give him gifts. No matter how many orders Terezov could place after opening up his joints, all the risks now fell on He Rui's side.

Since Terezov already had a criminal record, He Rui couldn't believe him, "Mr. Terezov, do you still have some joints that you haven't opened up?"

Hearing He Rui's question, Terezov immediately expressed surprise, "Sir, you are so considerate. I still need some money. You know, the Russians have a big appetite, especially the generals."

Magron covered his forehead with his hands and closed his eyes. It could be seen that this brother was already a little desperate.

Even He Rui couldn't believe Terezov. But He Rui still asked: "Then how much will the money be?"

"One hundred and eighty thousand, no, two hundred thousand francs. I will take out whatever is insufficient," Terezov replied.

When Terezov was taken out first, Magalon almost collapsed on the sofa. After a while, Magalon reluctantly said: "Your Excellency, you have heard it."

"Yes, I have heard it all." He Rui smiled and said, "So my intention to serve you has become even stronger."

Magalon was stunned and felt that he almost heard it wrong. He Rui smiled and said: "Since Mr. Magalon dared to bring Mr. Terezov here, he probably hopes that I can trust Mr. Terezov. Magalon

Sir, what is your opinion of Mr. Terezov?"

"He wants to succeed so much." Magalon sighed. Then Magalong told He Rui about Terezov's background.

This guy's ancestors were French. He went to Russia to serve in the era of Catherine the Great and became a noble. In the era of Napoleon, another ancestor of Terezov first participated in the war and defeated Napoleon in the ice and snow.

As a Russian officer,

Led the Russian cavalry into Paris. However, Terezov's ancestor joined the Decembrist riots, and the family was exiled to Siberia. Later, Terezov's grandfather was born in Siberia. His father died when he was young, and his mother followed him.

Return to live in France.

With these connections, it is difficult to say whether Terezov is Russian or French. In short, he has connections on both sides.

Hearing this, He Rui smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Magalon is still willing to believe in Mr. Terezov."

"But this guy went too far!" Magron sighed: "I knew Russia was very corrupt, but I didn't expect it to be so corrupt."

He Rui smiled again, but didn't say anything. Even in the 21st century, Russia is still surprisingly corrupt. Even so, two hundred thousand francs is not a small amount. He Rui cannot pay this money for nothing.

, not to mention He Rui doesn’t have that much money.

There was silence in the office, but Magalon quickly broke the silence. He asked with desperate despair: "Sir, I have another technology here. I wonder if you are interested."

"Speaking."

"I told a friend about the situation here. The friend said that you have a vast farm here and it should be in great need of fertilizers. Have you ever heard of ammonia synthesis technology?"

He Rui didn't answer, just stared at Magalong. Magalong was made even more guilty by He Rui's sharp gaze, but he still reluctantly said: "My friend can provide a complete set of ammonia synthesis equipment. I believe it is very

Valuable.”

After saying that, Magalong looked at He Rui eagerly.

He Rui did not answer. The value of the ammonia synthesis equipment was nothing to discuss for He Rui. But the authenticity of this matter made He Rui unconvinced. Finally, He Rui decided to take a gamble and asked: "Yes."

Is it a complete set of equipment?”

Magalong was overjoyed and said quickly: "Yes, my friend already has a complete set of equipment. If you are patient, I can deliver the complete set of equipment for the steelmaking plant within half a year, but time is really too late.

Now the only equipment I can transport is ammonia synthesis."

"Then can your Excellency sign a one million franc grain export agreement with the certification of the French Minister?" Magrone continued to ask.

He Rui smiled and said: "Mr. Magalong, could it be that the agreement I signed can be regarded as a securities in Europe?"

Magron smiled bitterly, "Although the Jews are hateful, their business vision is indeed very different. Among the Jews I know, there are indeed some who can probably mortgage this kind of agreement at a 50% discount."

"The interest rate must be high, right?" He Rui asked.

Magron did not answer, but sighed, with an angry look on his face.

He Rui knew that this kind of business was what Jews were best at, so it was not without reason that they were liquidated during World War II. But these are not important. He Rui was a little surprised that the current financial industry could reach such a state.

, even a person like He Rui can obtain high-risk financing in the financial market. I really don’t know whether to say that the finance of this era is powerful enough, or that the finance of this era is scary enough.

"Then let's invite Mr. Terezov to come in." He Rui said to Magalon.

After the agreement was reached, Magron and Terezov did not waste any time and immediately took action. Although Terezov was a little unreliable in his work, it was not unreliable everywhere. This guy came to Fengtian with

It comes from drawings. Samples of Russian standard rifles are not difficult to obtain, but drawings of each part are not so easy.

Terezov kept the drawings and promised that some technical personnel from the Russian arsenal would be hired as soon as possible.

He Rui didn't believe it at all. Russia is now so short of weapons that it has to import them from foreign countries. Domestic production must be desperate. But He Rui still encouraged: "I believe Mr. Terezov, and I wish you immediate success."

After Terezov and Magalong left, He Rui immediately called Wu Youping and the person in charge of the Siping Arsenal from Siping.

The person in charge of the arsenal is very young. He was a graduate of Zhao Tianlin when he was the principal of National Beiyang University. Now Zhao Tianlin writes letters every day, inviting science and engineering graduates from National Beiyang University to the Northeast.

The young man's name was Chu Zuoping. He was a little reserved when he met He Rui, but as soon as he saw those drawings, his eyes immediately lit up.

Wu Youping was also a little excited, but the content of his excitement was obviously different. Leaving Chu Zuoping to look at the drawings, Wu Youping pointed to the door. The two went to the next door. Wu Youping immediately said: "Chairman, this is not the right thing to do. We have recruited this person."

At this point, if what goes up and down works, I'm afraid something will happen."

He Rui was very satisfied, "You are right. This does not need to be implemented as a case in advance. When we introduce complete sets of equipment and engineers, we must continue to train for this."

Wu Youping nodded, but still didn't understand why He Rui was so bold, "Chairman, will Russia really be that bad in the future?"

"Firstly, the situation is bad, and secondly, once a civil war breaks out in Russia, we must quickly regain the Middle East. Now our weapons production capacity is too weak. We must take advantage of current opportunities to improve our production capacity. Making money is not our purpose.

Our goal is to increase production capacity. We are just borrowing chickens to lay eggs. Eggs are used to hatch chicks, not to eat."

Wu Youping nodded, but couldn't help but frown, "Chairman, we all understand. But now Director Mo Lixun of the China Merchants Bureau obviously wants to expand the influence of British and French businessmen here."

"Then let him do it. What are you worried about?"

Wu Youping didn't want to speak ill of anyone behind his back, but things had forced Wu Youping to express his worries, "Those British and French businessmen began to bribe our cadres, and the Mitsui family also bribed us. Although many cadres are now proud of refusing bribes, I

I don’t think things will last long. If this continues, something will happen.”

"Don't worry, things won't turn out like you think." He Rui replied decisively.

Wu Youping was stunned. He was from a businessman family and knew a lot about bribery. The so-called prevention of subtle changes is indeed useful, but lax discipline is also inevitable. He Rui's confident answer indeed increased Wu Youping's confidence, but this did not reassure Wu Youping.

"Youping, we will have to fight foreign countries sooner or later, and the faster we build, the sooner the war will begin. If our strength reaches Japan's level now, don't worry, I will mobilize troops now."

"Is it true?" Wu Youping couldn't help but feel happy. But after a moment, Wu Youping returned his attention to the present, "Chairman, what does this have to do with what we said?"

"With the current income of officials and cadres, just a little money from businessmen may be the income of the cadres for one or even two years. If this continues for a long time, no one will be able to resist the temptation. But why are everyone proud to refuse bribes now?"

"...Well, everyone is in high spirits." Wu Youping gave his opinion.

"Because the cadre training has been done well, it proves that you and your comrades are very effective in their work. Everyone understands that accepting bribes is wrong."

Being praised in person by He Rui, Wu Youping blushed and smiled sheepishly.

"Another reason is that everyone has benefited from the current new system construction, and everyone agrees with our new system. This is what you call high-spirited. Now more complete sets of equipment are introduced, we learn to use these equipment, and through reverse engineering

The higher the ability to counterfeit engineering equipment, the higher the morale of everyone. I am not saying that corrupt elements will not appear in the future. As long as some people feel that they have no future development, corruption will immediately become their choice. When the number of cadres increases, we will

An anti-corruption bureau will be established, and the current focus is on education and encouragement."

Wu Youping felt that he could not be as optimistic as He Rui, but he liked He Rui's optimism. After thinking about it, Wu Youping asked: "Chairman, many comrades now have many opinions on what the First Five-Year Plan is, and I often think about it now."

Thinking about it, I can look through the documents, but I still don’t quite understand what the core of the First Five-Year Plan is. Could you please give me some clarification, Chairman?”
