Chapter 115 Machine gun king
Chapter 115 The King of Machine Cannon
After taking a comfortable shower, Lin Neng was about to shake before going to bed with his newlywed wife. Suddenly, he heard someone entering the yard at the front door, and then there was a rush and heavy footsteps. After all, he was an "Allied wanted criminal" who entered the country as a forged identity. He immediately became alert, turned over and got out of the bed, took out a small-caliber pistol from the hidden bedside table, and leaned against the door as if flying, but heard Andri's guy talking downstairs.
"Have you slept with Chief Galgo? Uh, how long has it been?"
Thinking about Andri was not a rash person, he should have discovered something so urgently, so he opened the door and said in the corridor, "Hans, I haven't slept yet, come down immediately."
Put the gun back into the secret compartment and kiss Dinah on the forehead: "Go to sleep first, I'll talk to the colonel below."
In his nightgown, he met Mrs. Andri, who was full of tired faces on the stairs. After going down, he saw Andri sitting on the sofa with a freshly cut new cigar in his mouth.
"So excited, could it be that I dug up the treasure?" Lynn joked. If I really dug up the treasure, with Andri's personality and their current friendship, this girl would definitely choose to take it alone.
Andri raised his head and breathed, and smiled proudly, "That's right, I've dug up the treasure, and it's a big treasure!"
Lynn sat down opposite him, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table and lit it: "Aren't you going to find lurkers today? Have you noticed a big deal in them?"
"Hmm!" Andri replied, "Guess what it is?"
Lynn thought for a while: "About people...and senior technicians!"
Andri pushed his back straight up from the back of the sofa, and said to Lynn, "Tsk! No wonder Bach valued you so much. It's really not so smart! There is a metallurgical engineer who works for us currently works in Erliton. Know Erliton! A Swiss arms company that monopolizes the world's 20 and 30 mm caliber machine guns!"
Lynn nodded. Although Elicon was not as good as the storm in his time, he was still a well-known brand, and no one who had a brief study on World War II military was unknown.
In the early mid-20th century, it was definitely the no1 of the global machine gun weapon.
With the distance closer, Andri still whispered: "According to the hidden intelligence officer, twenty or thirty senior engineers who had originally worked for Rheinmetallurgical and Krupp arms and other German-level engineering companies in recent months have fled to Switzerland and were secretly hired by Erliton, which has greatly flooded the Swiss company's research strength in machinery and electronics. At present, they intend to increase their investment in radar fire control based on their advantageous machine gun technology. However, because some patent rights sold before the war, especially those sold to the ***, were sold but did not receive money, which caused considerable losses. They are currently looking for loan channels or partners who can invest in cash!"
As soon as this was said, Lynn's eyes almost turned green - if he successfully participated in the stake, he would have the opportunity to acquire the "Tirpitz" in the name of Ericon. Switzerland's neutral country and Ericon's name would not easily arouse suspicion and resistance from allies. When the dismantling rights are obtained, he would invest in a so-called branch in Norway to deal with the dismantled steel on site. These 20,000 tons of high-quality steel that can still be used for ship construction and ordinary construction projects. He could also share the use of Ericon's machine gun technology and radar fire control that may make achievements in the future. Isn't this a good opportunity to fall from the sky?
After the surprise, Lynn quickly calmed down and asked Andri several questions: "Is the news reliable? How much equity is Erliton going to take out for investment cooperation? Has any bank already expressed its willingness to make a loan?"
"The news is almost well known within the Erliton company and should be relatively reliable," Andri replied. "As for the equity ratio and bank loan situation, I have asked our intelligence officers to inquire, and I believe there will be news soon."
"If we can successfully invest in this Swiss company, your intelligence officer will make a great contribution!"
As far as Lynn knows, Andri's SS intelligence officers are mainly divided into two categories: one is to become professional spies through recruitment and training, disguising their identities to perform specific tasks, and the other is to secretly discover the SS from intellectuals, technicians, soldiers and other personnel with fixed identities. This is called implicit intelligence officers. Usually, they still work in their post after they turn to the SS after they become loyal to the SS, secretly providing confidential information related to their duties, and receiving generous rewards from the SS. This category is what Andri calls implicit intelligence officers.
Andri nodded with anticipation and said, "Yes, if I can succeed, I will give him a certain equity reward, so that he can work harder for us in the future!"
The main situation is optimistic, just like the news that the "Tirpitz" is officially for sale. It is not easy to handle the details properly. This is not like the RPG game also comes with storage, and once it makes a mistake, it is irreversible.
Lynn thought, "We have funds, can we use them smoothly? It should not be a problem if we join forces with you. I and Dipp. But... We are not sure if Erliton will let us strange Norwegian investors participate in the stake. And it is not a small business after all, and it is very well-known around the world. If they send someone to Norway to verify their identity, or if there are people with ulterior motives outside to investigate, can we stand this verification?"
Andri shook his head. It was easy to obtain a passport, but it might not be difficult to forge files, but if you want to verify it in multiple ways, there will always be some aspects that cannot be covered up. He thought for a while: "Maybe, we can find a suitable agent, and the three of us are only anonymous investors behind the scenes, how about it?"
After thinking about it, Lynn began to feel a headache. He Quanqi replied: "When Dip gets up tomorrow morning, let's discuss it carefully!"
In terms of financial funds, Courtland and Deckfield have a more professional say, but they are obviously asleep. Since they have not taken the initiative, there is no need to wake them up one by one for this. Maybe Cotland is also shaking his wife before bed?
Dinah was already asleep when she returned to the room with a smell of smoke. Although the content of the event on this day was monotonous, it was noisy from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the evening to take a shower and go to bed. The time span was quite large. Lynn sat down by the bed with his hands and feet, looking at the side of his newlywed wife with a faint light from the wall light. She was really tired, slept so heavily, and had a happy and satisfied smile on her lips, which was rare in the "sanctuary" base. She was like a canary in a cage. No matter how rich she was, she could not get real happiness. Only the free world outside was what she wanted.
The weather in late autumn is not cold, and it is comfortable to sleep quietly, but Andri brought such exciting news before going to bed. Lynn tossed and turned for a long time before he could barely fall asleep. He opened his eyes as soon as dawn. Dinah was still asleep, so he tiptoed up again, washed up briefly and went downstairs, and found that Andri got up earlier than he did.
"I won't not sleep all night last night!" Lynn teased.
"How is that possible?" Andri disdains this kind of teasing, but he explained cumbersomely: "Like ordinary soldiers, I get up at 6 o'clock every day to exercise, and this habit will not be changed easily wherever I go."
Ask the intelligence officer responsible for arranging food and daily life to get himself a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Lynn walked to the door and stretched his limbs towards the yard. The air here is good and the scenery is good. Unfortunately, we cannot go out for long-distance running exercises in the way of a soldier. At the residence, we must try to avoid attention-catching activities.
"After the conversation yesterday, I thought of something again," said Lynn. "The war has just ended, and many veteran military-industrial enterprises are facing the dilemma of sharp drop in orders, either compressing production capacity, laying off staff, or trying to transform. Since Erickon is like this, famous anti-aircraft gun manufacturers like Sweden's Forbos should also have similar situations!"
Andri agreed: "Unless there are still large-scale wars, other military-industrial enterprises around the world should also have similar situations."
Lynn briefly described: "This is an era where cash and hard currency are king, and we must seize these instant opportunities!"
"Agree!" Andri replied concisely but lacks advice.
Fortunately, as an orthodox soldier, although he was just a civilian, Courtland did not sleep in. Just when Lynn started drinking coffee and enjoying a Swiss specialty, chocolate meal, the chief economic and financial staff officer of the Imperial Base Camp came downstairs and saw Andri and asked, "I came back very late yesterday?"
"It's only 10:30!" Andri replied, "There is no curfew here, so I stayed a little later with my friend."
"Ah! I went to bed at 11 o'clock!" Courtland replied without hesitation.
Lynn and Andri looked at each other, both snickering with malicious intentions.
"Hey, our Financial Director, solemnly ask you a question!"
Lynn said, signaling the other party to sit down at the table, and asked, "What do you think is the market value of a well-known company like Swiss Erliton?"
When he woke up early in the morning, Courtland was unprepared for such a problem. He kept rubbing his temples for two or three minutes, and then said: "Its assets themselves may only be two or three million pounds. What is really valuable is its technology, that is, patent rights. The total price... I personally estimate that it is about eight million pounds."
"So little?" Lynn was a little surprised at the answer of the chief economic and financial staff.
Courtland dipped his finger in water and wrote and painted on the desktop: "I use the value of the German-hot enterprise as a reference. The scale of Erliton is still inferior to our Mauser company! Eight million pounds may have overestimated it!"
"Then wouldn't our funds buy four Erlitons?" Lynn asked.
"Well, this, market value is one thing, and the purchase price is another thing. If the company's shareholders are unwilling to sell, it will be in vain no matter how much money is!" After saying this, Courtland finally realized that this problem was a bit abnormal, and asked: "You ask this, is it..."
"We got the news that Erliton is interested in lending to banks or seeking cooperation from external investors. The Colonel and I discussed this issue seriously last night. At that time, you... are doing economics before bed!" Lynn smiled.

Follow your wife’s advice and try to rest as much as possible during the cold, and provide two updates from tomorrow until the cold is cured.
Pray for getting cold early!
