Hori Teiki smiled and walked up to shake hands with Contini, hugged her, and asked, "How is the president's scrap steel sales business going?"

"It's still a little bit, it's still a little bit..."

"Hurry up, hurry up." Horitiki said with a smile, "I have written a report to submit it. Italy has scrap steel and Japan has it. Why can't I sell it if I can't get cash? It doesn't matter if I can't get cash. It's okay to have products and resources to collect it. You can also consider installment payments. Even if you don't have any land to rent, it's good to build a dock! Now is a peaceful time, and making more money is the truth!"

Contini widened his eyes and pretended to be dissatisfied, "You want to steal my business?"

"I dare not, the Japanese system has decided that it will take at least 6 months for my report to be submitted. Besides, I haven't submitted it yet, and you still have a lot of time."

Contini smiled: "That's enough, enough..."

Looking at this warm scene, I don’t know that they really think they are old friends who have met again after a long time ago. In fact, they have known each other for less than a year: Last April, Horitiki attended the relevant League of Nations meeting in Geneva as a member of the Japanese navy. Contini was also on vacation in Switzerland to accompany Adriana and his children. Then he went to Geneva’s Italian delegation to catch up with him to hear what the navy would do in the following days. Because the Italian navy has been very active in the past two years, he was very afraid of attracting everyone’s attention, but there was no particularly explosive point of view, so everyone still talked about it - even if Italy did these small moves, its strength was still too small, and Britain and the United States didn’t care.

Contini was relieved about this. Who knew that he met Hori Teki. At first, he didn't care about this not-sized colonel, and soon understood - this is Hori Teki! "Iron Ambition" has implicit parameters. Hori Teki was at a normal level before Okao's personnel, but after Okao's personnel suppression, there will be attribute bonuses. If you use it well, you can explode (just like the old game "The Legend of Cao Cao" of Japan's Glorious Company, Zhang Liao's explosive power, attack power, and control power will be added more than 30% in Xiaoyaojin's level). If others don't understand, how could Contini not understand? Of course, he has to win over. This guy will be able to be a naval consultant in the future.

Horitiki didn't look Contini high at first, thinking that he was an Italian diplomat. After all, he was 20 years old and was proud all the time. He spoke in a slight manner. Later, he saw the deputy commander of the Italian delegation and the lieutenant general were respectful to Contini, and he wanted to come over to carry his bag to the president before he realized who he was. He felt deeply rude - he was the crown prince in the actual sense of Italy.

After a while, the two people who mean to make friends became good friends.

The scrap steel mentioned by both sides is particularly directed, referring to those old naval ships. According to Contini's idea, the coal-powered light warships in the Italian Navy built 15 years ago, including cruisers and destroyers, should be dealt with! Then, build new warships, but the military expenses are not enough for him to make up for it!

This move shocked the Navy, but what the president said made sense. Now Italy controls the two largest oil fields in Africa. Crude oil is rolling in, and it has jumped from an oil-poor country to an oil-exporting country. The navy is still using coal-powered warships. Isn’t it funny? Under this idea, the Italian Navy’s warships are sold one after another. Garibal sold to Zhang Dashuai at the level, and other warships are also sold to Turkey, some are sold to South American countries, and even one is sold to Siam.

Before leaving this time, Chen Shaokuan heard that the Northern Army had bought the Garibal class, so he suggested buying cruisers, because the largest warship of the Southern Navy is the Revolution, with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and the next largest warship is the Hairong and Haichou, which is only about 2,700 tons. It has been 30 years old and has a speed of less than 20 knots. It continues to add larger and newer warships, according to Chen Shaokuan's original idea, is to like the Northern Navy, add more than 10,000 tons of armored ships or battleships - corresponding to Queen Elena, and then build a large cruiser of 7-8,000 tons - corresponding to Garibal class. Chiang expressed support in principle, but also told him that the government did not have money. The 28 million yuan of the Revolution crushed the Guangzhou government tightly.

In the end, Chen Shaokuan could only find a way to send a telegram to Huang Xinguo, asking to buy 1-2 cruisers of about 4,000 tons. This was easy to deal with. Contini suddenly found the inventory - the Italian Navy had 2 reconnaissance cruisers, Nino Bickshaw class, with a displacement of about 3,600 tons and a speed of 28 knots. What's more, the quality was good. It was completed in 1914 and had not been completed for 15 years in service. The price of a single piece was 2 million oceans, and the down payment was 400,000. The Guangzhou government was reluctant to squeeze out one, but it was difficult to get another 1.6 million. Finally, as a Fujian native, Chen Shaokuan made a suggestion that it was not a suggestion, using Fujian tea, granite and Yunnan tung oil!

Everyone thinks Chen Shaokuan is crazy. What does an Italian want Fujian tea? Granite and tung oil may be a bit useful, but unexpectedly, granite was first excluded - because Italy does not have other resources, the stone is the top in Europe. United Real Estate's residential construction uses Italian granite and marble. Because the whole country is developing real estate in full swing, it is very widely used for stone. United Real Estate creatively uses stone dry hanging as a high level.

When the community sign was marked, the craze was even more unstoppable. There was a craze for excavating stones everywhere. The overall surface landform of Italy was changing. The mountainous areas that were once unpopular now have flooded with many miners. Although it will cause some environmental problems, considering that it is beneficial to stimulating employment, the Mussolini government still welcomes the development of stones very much. Now Italian stone is sold well in Europe, and it is not enough to go to Turkey or Greece to do it. There is no need to travel thousands of miles from Fujian.

But the business was finally negotiated, and the key is Fujian tea. Because there are 150,000 Chinese in Libya, and the weather is hot, the amount of tea is quite large, which is the first sales channel; the second is that United Group has a new sector, the 13th is United Pharmaceutical, and the 14th is United Food, and the first among the food is all kinds of convenience foods, fast food, fast food, and military compressed biscuits, and fast food must also be available. The first one to start is instant coffee. In fact, instant coffee was available 20 years ago, but the quality is not stable enough. Under the focus of joint laboratory research, United Coffee was released. In order to promote, the urban movies produced by United Film Company now have the plot of instant coffee, which makes people see it as United Brand - implying that this is the life and rhythm of Bourgeois little.

In addition to instant coffee, the second key item of Contini’s instruction is tea bags. Chinese people rarely use bag packaging when drinking tea, while European and American teas are filtered, so bags have a special meaning.

Tea bags were also created by Americans 20 years ago, but Contini believed that the American packaging was too low. Under his instructions, although Italian tea bags started very late, they were very popular. Not only did they launch round tea bags, pyramid-shaped tea bags, as well as ropes and exquisite tail pendants. On them are brightly decorated with United Food's slogan "For a better life, there are various flavors such as black tea and green tea in the tea bags. Although Italians are not as fond of tea as the British, they are also the leader in the European continent.

Due to the special status of the United Group, it is obvious that all the Italian army's fast food products were taken over by the United Company, which is a fairly stable sales channel. Therefore, Chen Shaokuan's proposal to offset the military purchase of Fujian tea was deeply loved by Contini, and he immediately decided to establish a tea bag factory in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

As for tung oil, it was originally the main raw material for making paint. Because Italian real estate is being built in large quantities, the furniture industry is also booming. The factory that produced components for aircraft found a new world after the aircraft structure gradually turned to hard aluminum, and naturally it was continuously supplied. In this way, the second factory in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone also took advantage of the opportunity to develop it - a paint factory. As for textile factories, the yarn mill had already thought about it and was waiting for the specific implementation of negotiations with Japan.

Therefore, Contini agreed to deliver a cruiser to Guangzhou first. If the Guangzhou government can deliver a down payment of 400,000 yuan next year, he can agree to sell another ship of the same class. In order to show sincerity, he guaranteed that the warship would retain one year's priority to the Guangzhou government and would not be sold to other countries. Therefore, Contini also had the idea that "scrap steel sales business" had not yet been completed.

"Hoki, since you have become the captain of the Muro, I want to talk to you to let our people come and visit, you can't hide your own private parts."

"Of course, of course." Horitiki smiled and introduced other Japanese people to Contini, and said, "There is absolutely no problem to visit. The Navy said that you can see whatever you want. We are a friendly country. However, the Navy is also very interested in which carrier-based fighter jet of the United Group. I want to ask if I can buy a batch and then grant us a patent to produce in Japan."

"It's totally OK. I have a new torpedo machine. Do you want it?"

"Torpedo machine?" Hori Teiki was stunned, "I haven't heard of it."

Contini shrugged: "It's the kind that special postal planes can carry 800 kilograms of postal packages..."

"I understand, I understand..." Horitiki said with a smile, "I understand that sea floating airport, too. This time you can go to observe our sea floating airport Akagi - rebuilt with the battleship hull."

When I had a little time, Angnes asked, "Calais, are you very familiar with this Japanese?"

"A little familiar, I made a bet with him..."

Angnes laughed: "It sounds so interesting. How to bet, what is the bet?"
Chapter completed!
