Chapter 219 Various options
.
Gorene, if your wisdom had increased like your growing belly, I believe our battle in the Soviet Union would not be so difficult." Hitler scolded Gorene without hesitation.
"My head of state, the Soviet battlefield is too vast and wide, but even so, we have achieved a decisive victory. A few hours ago, we sent a telegram back from the front and we achieved another major victory, killing all the 15 Soviet light infantry divisions and three light motorcycle mechanics." Goring knew that he had done a bad job during this period, so he could only divert his attention with some other things that made Hitler happy.
"This is good news, but I also know that due to the lack of sufficient cold protection measures, we have lost more than five divisions of troops in the face of the new cold current. This non-combat reduction is simply intolerable! Now you go back to your office immediately and read the documents on your desk well. I don't want any requests to send a train to a red wine on the front line to a request for cotton coats!!" Hitler became more and more angry and his voice became louder and louder. After receiving the amnesty, Gorene immediately left here with sweat.
"My Head of State, please calm down. This is the latest China sales list provided by Ambassador to China Vernar. I believe you will be very happy after reading it.
"A staff officer handed over a document.
Sure enough, when Hitler was reading the document, the corners of his mouth were getting upwards, and his joy and excitement gradually cleared out the unhappiness just now.
"The Chinese are really willing to sell the things on this list?" Faced with a large list of items sold, Hitler, like Vernard, needed to ask again whether this great news was true and reliable.
"I have confirmed it to Mr. Vernar, and he responded to it both times."
"That's great!! Chinese friends have helped us a lot. How did that Chinese word come from..." Hitler's mind was a little slow in excitement.
"Help in time." The staff officer whispered.
"Yes! This is really a good news for a timely help!"
"But our head of state, we now lack sufficient funds and gold to buy these things. Did China propose to exchange various cultural relics and artworks?" The staff asked the most critical payment question in this document. For Germany in the war, these combat materials and medicines were the most in need. The staff members even wanted to buy all the items on the list.
"Well... this is a problem. The key is how to determine the value of these cultural relics. We will definitely raise the prices of these artworks as much as possible. The Chinese will also lower the prices of these artworks..." Hitler was also thinking about this issue. Since it is a transaction, there will definitely be bargaining. It is just how to make both parties happy to be conducive to future cooperation and exchanges.
"The head of state. The Chinese proposed that all purchases require cash or gold to pay 50% of the total value of real gold and silver transactions. The remaining 50% can be used to mortgage the payment at a 10% discount on the pre-war market price. But this discount price is too low."
"This price is too low. The Chinese have proposed other plans?" Although Hitler was a little angry, he was helpless. After all, for Germany, these weapons with excellent performance are too scarce and important.
"There is. If the place where we pay cash or gold exceeds 60% of the total payment, the discount rate of the artwork can be increased to 20%.
“…Fine, hurry.”
"Yes! I have arranged personnel to count these information and look for relevant personnel in this regard to carry out this work. I will give you a definite answer soon."
"Very good, is there anything else?"
"There is another thing. At the request of the Chinese ambassador to Germany, China's second leader Li Delin hopes to come to Germany to meet you in secret in the near future."
"Oh? Is it a secret? Okay, arrange it as soon as possible."
"yes!"

As the first Jews to come from Germany, Diff and his wife were lucky. As the saying goes, sugarcane needs the first three verses, and the new purple ginger is the most fragrant.
Since Diff first came to China, there were a large number of senior jobs waiting for his franchise. At that time, for these private enterprises and factories, people like Diff who had both cultural theory and excellent technical level were quickly promoted. As soon as the treatment was generous, Diff and others had more enthusiasm to work to get more rewards.
Diff's wife had a very accurate vision. She quickly learned and mastered Chinese in Baise, and took advantage of her proficiency in using a variety of foreign languages to carry out the second business of paid translation. In this way, Diff and his wife quickly accumulated enough money to redeem their parents who were still in Germany to live abroad in China. The family finally escaped the clutches of the German Gestapo.
Although most transactions between China and Germany are based on German marks or in-kind transactions, and the cash received in China cannot be used as a ransom for relatives still in Germany, as a shrewd Jew, they quickly adopted a roundabout way.
How to pay ransom.
They converted the money they earned in China into minerals and transported them to Germany through third-party Jewish organizations in the United States. Of course, the Germans were willing to exchange Jews who were still in Germany with a discount slightly lower than the market price. China also quickly discovered this practice of reselling domestic minerals in China. However, at the beginning, the transaction volume was not very large. The Chinese mining department adopted an additional payment of 15% to increase the acquisition of these minerals outside the production, which not only increased income but also stimulated the construction of mining production and infrastructure. During this process, the Jews had to pay higher protection prices and endured the Germans to calculate the acquisition price at a low price. However, these Jews were eager to rescue their families in Germany, so everyone had been in peace.
However, as this transaction volume grew, more and more minerals were purchased and resold to Germany. Especially after 1938, under the demand for material wars against Japan and the recovery of land in the former southwest, mineral resources could no longer become export resources. Although a small number of minerals still flowed to the public as smuggled goods, the number and high prices made many people dispel this idea.
However, as the Southwest products become more and more popular in the world, Jewish people began to turn their goals to these products, and then resell them to Europe and the United States to obtain profit differences. To a large extent, they also played a certain role in stimulating the sales of goods, stimulating the sales and obtaining more profits in China's fledgling industrial enterprises.
But today, Diff is discussing something with his family.
"Diff, did you really decide to open a factory?" The father-in-law asked the young man who was both his most proud apprentice and his son-in-law sitting in front of him.
"Yes, the Chinese government now allows us Jews to invest in industrial production, so what should we do with this?" Diff answered his father-in-law's question.
"But this place is not our land after all, invest here..."
"Although this place does not belong to us, but father, look, where is the land that belongs to us?"
"..." The old man who was said to be in pain was stunned. Indeed, looking around the planet, where is it belonging to them Jews.
"Father, although this place does not belong to us, I have lived here for many years. Our children were born and raised on this land. Now we can also communicate with the locals in this Chinese and even the local language here. It can be said that except for Germany, which makes me hate, it is difficult for me to find a land where the indigenous people do not discriminate against us."
What Diff mentioned is the equal living regulations issued by Duan Guoxue when he accepted Jews. In the southwest, these Jews could not be discriminated against. However, this regulations seemed difficult to implement, but they were easily implemented in the southwest.
First of all, the Chinese at that time still had some of the fear of the West left by the previous dynasty, and these down-and-out Jews were cautious when they first arrived in the southwest and were cautious and not conflicted with the locals. Since most of the personnel screening were medium-sized, high-technicians and culturally qualifying Jews, these people were scarce talents for Chinese private enterprises to respect and use them, which greatly gave Jews who were suffering from racial discrimination in various places.
Moreover, the Southwest government at that time agreed to fund the construction of churches themselves. In terms of work and life, the Southwest lacked a large number of industrial and technical talents, the indigenous people did not respond to them because they came to grab jobs, nor would they raise prices and make huge profits because of different skins and languages. This made the Jews who felt a stable life quickly regard this land as their second hometown.
"Diff, I don't object to you investing in and building factories here. The leaders of the Chinese government are very smart. They open production projects to us because they are interested in our hard work and smart business minds like them. However, once the production projects are invested, it is equivalent to binding ourselves here. Money - we can take away, but the foundation created here - we can't take away. If the Chinese people do what we do to us like the Germans in the future..." The old man has experienced too many things, and his wise brain makes him think about problems from multiple aspects and angles.
"Father, I actually had the same idea as you, but please read it." Diff handed over a newspaper called "People's Daily". The front page of the newspaper was a photo of Duan Guoxue visiting a factory invested by Jews. Under the title, Duan Guoxue admitted as a national leader. As an experiment of economic reform and construction, although it was not clear what impact this would have on the future, during Duan Guoxue's rule, Duan Guoxue promised that the reform measures for twenty years would not change, and twenty years later, if this economic reform is well carried out, it will continue for another 30 years.
"If he had made a promise, maybe we could believe him." The old man murmured to himself as he looked at the smile and encouragement expression of Duan Guoxue in the middle of the newspaper photo.
