Chapter 90 the great depression (9) with a full staff, the Beta factory could produce 10 tons of paper products a day, and each $ 100 bill just weighed 1 gram
One million "Green notes" weighed exactly 10 kilograms
Roughly speaking, the factory could produce one billion dollars a day - the dollar during this period was called the" federal reserve roll
" In fact, the" government" of the united states had hardly issued anything similar to a certain currency or a certain note
However, with only Lorraine working and only Huang Xuan working, the Beta factory could not produce a ton of paper every day
Due to the special" nature" of the green money, its production would be reduced accordingly, but no matter what, The factory can produce more than 20 million us dollars every 12 hours
As for the cost, the" government" mass production cost was about 4 cents, while the money printing machine modified by Lorraine was much more expensive, about 20 cents or more
But none of this had any effect
Sitting on a heavy, modified printing press, Huang Xuan looked at the information in the energy screen in front of him and said," Lorraine, help me contact Li Qing again
Um, contact Li Shenggang first
"" It''s three o'' clock in the morning on p 112
""Right now, time is precious
" Li Shenggang should not be asleep yet
There was even some noise on the phone
Huang xuan didn''t care about these things
This was very similar to his mother''s" sex
"" Sorry to bother you
" Huang xuan was energetic and said," is it convenient to talk now
"" It''s convenient
" Li Shenggang was now in charge of four factories, and although every factory was losing money, he was still satisfied
" Well, how''s the situation at the factory
" Huang Xuan asked knowingly
He knew the situation of the factory better than anyone else
Now the offshore price of aluminum ingots is rising every day, but the factory will lose tens of thousands of yuan a day when it starts
If not for his asset support, it would have been bankrupt and liquidated long ago
Li Shenggang naturally had to pour in the bitter water, talking about the retired workers, the factory managers, the supply and marketing
Huang Xuan listened patiently for more than ten minutes and said," then I know
It''s been a hard time for you, but the factory still can''t stop working
Start working hard and find a way to apply for more power
"" This
" Li Shenggang hesitated to take a look at his friend who was still playing in the room, then ruthlessly patted his chest and said," boss, don''t worry
"" I like your reassurance
" Huang xuan encouraged him in his own way and said," is cash flow normal now
Is there any problem
" Since Huang Xuan asked, Li Shenggang said," Boss, the power consumption in the factory has been almost peaking recently
After checking the equipment, there is no problem
I also asked the old workers specifically, saying that in the past, only a little more than 10,000 degrees per ton of aluminum was enough, but now it has to be 25,000 degrees
Is the equipment a little old
If this continues, more and more losses will be made
" That was a loss, Huang Xuan thought
As they returned to the country, the oil and other oil in Brazil had been used up again, so they had to transform these Aluminum electrolysis plant and use them with ease
Huang Xuan said lightly," you don''t have to think about these problems, or as I said, all the aluminum ingots were shipped to Brazil and asked the Hexin industries to take over
"" Yes, yes
" Li Shenggang still didn''t understand, but he nodded repeatedly
" That''s good
Work hard
" Huang xuan hung up the phone
Lorraine, who had the energy source, was full of energy and quickly got through to Li Qing
The guy was so sleepy that huang xuan called twice and said directly: "Brother qing, you can thank those experts for me early tomorrow morning, and by the way, let them do this again
As requested by the last time, we should go through all the cars made by General purpose in the 1930s
We don''t need all of them, but the more the better
" This request woke Li Qing up in a flash
He saw the experts looking for information and revising blueprints
Before he could say anything more, Huang Xuan remembered something and said: "By the way, ask them who knows how to draw a plane
It''s a classic model from the 1930s
Just have one first
You won''t have to ask my mom for help
Remember
" This time, Li Qing was completely awake
Even if he had never read about aircraft manufacturing, he knew that the trouble level of this thing and the car were two different concepts
But before he could say anything, Huang Xuan snapped and hung up the phone
Li Qing looked at the phone, then at the clock on his head
His eyebrows were like wet swimming trunks
Leslie arrived at the factory early in the morning, carefully brushing his hair with lard to restore its luster, just like his stomach, showing the owner''s happy state of mind
Along with him came two trucks of various chemical" drugs
" Hans called huang xuan out of the workshop
The latter kept rubbing the painful sun''s acupoints
It had been running for a whole day last night
Although there was no problem, the noise was still unavoidable
There was no change in the appearance of the modified printing press
Lorraine transformed its main control part into electronic products
He doubted that there were a few people in this era who could understand those complicated circuit diagrams
Leslie looked happy
When he saw huang xuan, he took out two telegrams and said in a cheerful voice," you actually know Mr
Ford and Mr
Sloan
I received two telegrams from General purpose and ford, both of which were requested to be forwarded to you
" The ford he was talking about, of course, was Edsel ford
Smiling, he picked it up
The address was given by combat veterans
He opened the cable bag as he spoke the usual pleasantries like breakfast
The contents of the two were similar
Ford invited him to meet in Hilton Hotel, and the General purpose set up a meeting place in pico Hotel Teiss to meet you, saying," I brought you something you''re interested in
" It seemed that Xuetielong ta was far more attractive than v8
Huang Xuan thanked Leslie again and personally sent him out of the factory
This old man from California was a talkative guy, especially when the other party could make money for him
His throat was like the piston of an f1 engine, rolling up and down
After sending Leslie away, Huang Xuan stood near the factory gate, his head down, constantly recalling the information he had seen in the past few days, and carefully knocked
In his plan, the sale of a second design, or more, was not in itself to make money
With this factory, he would be able to produce a lot more like real money, but he would need a reasonable source of assets if he wanted to avoid trouble, especially by buying some bulk trading products and going through the bank
Of course, the source of the drawing itself was also a problem, but ford was in the front
Unless the ford and his son were willing to risk taking over the stolen goods or something worse, they would have excused themselves - Huang Xuan was familiar with the business process, as Huang''s fund often did
It only took a quiet week, hoping that any authority would not cause trouble within the week, and he thought it was reasonable to pay more or get less for it
" Hans
" After going through the process in his head, Huang Xuan raised his head and shouted
The lieutenant reacted quickly and stood at attention
Huang Xuan was amused and relaxed
" Find a car
Let''s go to Hilton
Get someone else to send a telegram to the General purpose and ask them to meet me at Hilton
"" Okay
" Hans found a taxi for huang xuan
It was an old t-car, but the inside of the car was very clean
The driver was well-dressed and polite
Since about 1907, New York has had car-based taxis that are charged by mileage
This kind of old car, which could only run 30 kilometers per hour, opened Huang Xuan''s eyes
In the new century, if he wanted to take such a smelly old car, the price would be higher than first class
Hilton Hotel
Instead of going to a Ford Motor Co suite, he registered a business room himself and asked Hans to invite members of ford and General purpose
Ford Motor Co came to New York almost as a negotiating group, representing Stephen, the sales director, and Kent, the development director, the deputy representative
In addition, there were more than 50 auxiliary personnel
Relatively speaking, General purpose was much smaller in number, but not at all at a lower level
President Sloan flew to New York himself, although he did not own a stake in the General purpose like the ford father and son
Sloan was still the most influential figure in the General purpose
It was no surprise that the two sides were paying attention to the deal
The ford v8 was only a year and a half later, while the Xuetielong ta was a four-year-old model - let alone a very modern and excellent industrial design at the time
He raised his head high, but his eyes were not arrogant
He was just telling the gentlemen in his own way - you can ask me
Stephen quickly adapted to Huang Xuan''s youthful impulse
He took out the old ford plan: $ 450, 000, bought the complete drawings, and sent someone to guide the production until the first ta was out of the factory
" How much can you pay now
" Huang Xuan was more concerned about the immediate benefits because he couldn''t wait until ford produced even one of the parts
"$ 100,000, Sir
" Stephen said in front of Edsel," we will pay 100,000 us dollars every month after that
If the production can''t go smoothly in three months, the remaining 150,000 us dollars will be postponed
"" Then forget it
" Huang Xuan waved his hand and said," it''s still my plan
Three hundred thousand dollars, one hand for the money, one hand for the delivery
" Stephen still wanted to fight for it
Sloan yawned and said," just $ 300,000
" Then he reached out his hand
In just a few minutes, he caught Huang Xuan''s mindset, which surprised him a little, but it was also in line with Huang Xuan''s plan
He blinked his eyes slightly, shook his hand with sloan, and said," deal
" Stephen looked at the two of them in surprise, as if he could not believe that his two days of hard work had gone to waste
Before he could say anything, huang xuan smiled apologetically and said," is Ford Motor Co interested in other cars as well
"" Of course
" Stephen seized the opportunity as if there was a turning point
" One more hour
" Huang Xuan looked at his watch and said," the drawings are still on the way
They won''t be delivered until later
Before that, we can talk about other transactions
" Stephen was just relieved when he heard sloan say," Mr
Huang, are we trading in cash or through the bank
"" Bank
" Huang Xuan smiled
There was no easier way to deal with a bank than savings
Similarly, there are no institutions that are easier to deal with american companies than banks
He looked at the seemingly dissatisfied ford development director and smiled
" Is Mr
Kent satisfied with the last drawing
"" That doesn''t explain the feasibility of your design
" Compared to the last time, Kent''s words were tactful enough
Accidentally caught a glimpse of Stephen kicking Kent
Huang Xuan smiled
The atmosphere was a little chilly, and the top management of the two competitors did not seem to have the opportunity to sit together like this, but Sloan calmed the scene and said," which bank do you want to deposit this money in
"" Chase national bank
" Huang Xuan had already thought of this step
To the chinese, the us bank, which had just made it to the top four, was unknown, but its owner, little john d
Rockefeller, on the other hand, would make many people feel familiar, and his father, John d
Rockefeller, the founder of standard oil, would give everyone a sense of enlightenment
The so-called Chase national bank was the predecessor of datong manhattan bank, the financial pillar of the Rockefeller consortium
Little Rockefeller founded the fair trust company a few years ago and used it as the foundation to acquire the Chase and ultimately control the board of directors
It was through this bank that Rockefeller jr
Bought some shares in General purpose, one of the most profitable deals
This was one of Sloan''s most familiar banks
He mistook Huang Xuan for investigating both companies and couldn''t help laughing
Compared to the wily Mr
Sloan, huang xuan had many shortcomings in the distribution of power in negotiations, but this was already a great improvement
Just think about it, to be able to communicate with perhaps the best managers in the world, and not be outdone, would be enough to make the 16-year-old Huang Xuan proud
The people at the Ford Motor Co were a little depressed
Huang Xuan talked to Stephen intentionally or unintentionally, while Sloan occasionally" interjected
" The three of them acted as if they had just met a friend, but in fact, if Kent''s" reins" were released, the director of development would leave the room in a huff
After an hour of uninteresting chatting, Hans''s men finally sent the drawings to their room
Sloan arranged for his men to check them and asked huang xuan with a smile," shall we go to the bank now
"" No hurry
" Huang Xuan smiled enigmatically and said," do you know Hammer
