Chapter 146 The Arsenal's Dilemma, Returning Home
Lin Yi never refused to split money.
Nothing can better integrate relationships or expand one's influence than sharing benefits.
However, controlling stake and management rights are the bottom line.
In particular, the industries he built himself all have long-term plans.
If you are truly manipulated, you will suffer greatly in the future.
Kong Yongzhi couldn't do this, and neither could the Rothschild family.
So it's only 15%.
Then, he will distribute some dividend shares to the management team, as well as agree to Pengster's investment. When Fenghua Manufacturing goes public, he must firmly maintain control of the company.
Just like his Lihua Oil.
He would refuse to go public if he could not secure controlling interest.
His attitude was firm, and Dison didn't say much more.
In short, this was a satisfactory answer, enough for him to give to Rohir's people.
Before he took charge of this matter, every company that intended to buy shares in Fenghua Manufacturing had been politely rejected.
"Young master, a telegram has arrived from home."
Before he had even finished his cigarette, Ah Sheng knocked on the door and delivered a telegram.
It was a telegram from Fan Zhongxu.
The main point is that a batch of machinery and equipment ordered in the name of Fenghua Textile Factory has been secretly transported to Qu County.
According to calculations, if the entire arsenal were operating at full capacity to produce semi-automatic rifles, its daily production capacity would be approximately 300 rifles.
If half of the production capacity is allocated to automatic rifles, the total output will be around 260 rifles.
Another issue is that the stockpiling of copper raw materials for the supporting ammunition plant is not progressing as well as expected.
After more than half a year, the total reserves are still less than 20 tons.
A matching 7.62 intermediate-power round, including the warhead and casing, uses approximately thirteen grams of copper.
Even ignoring losses, the maximum production capacity is 1.5 million rounds.
The number may seem large at first glance, but on the battlefield, it's impossible to eliminate an enemy with just one bullet.
Lin Yi wasn't very clear on the specific data, but in short, eliminating one opponent required consuming more than a thousand bullets.
Even if it's only halved, it'll still take 500 rounds.
This quantity is sufficient to meet the needs of my mercenary team for a short period of time.
But he intends to become an arms dealer, and in the future he will have all types of artillery shells with full power.
The annual demand is likely to be in the thousands of tons.
It wouldn't be right to only sell guns and cannons without selling ammunition, would it?
Not to mention, there will likely be another national war in the future, where he will have to contribute his strength.
However, these are materials explicitly controlled by the Jinling National Government, making large-scale import impractical.
Relying solely on smuggling is also not feasible.
He had also considered beryllium copper bullets, but the manufacturing process was too complicated, and the wear and tear on the gun barrel was also a major problem.
That's a bit unrealistic right now.
While feeling frustrated by all this, Lin Yi looked at the contents of the telegram.
At the end, Fan Zhongxu did mention an idea.
Yunnan Province has several copper mines, and their output is quite good.
It was controlled by Long Dengyun, the warlord of Yunnan Province.
Fan Zhongxu asked Lin Yi if he wanted to make contact, but he was worried about keeping it a secret.
This is indeed a problem.
The matter of the arsenal still needs to be kept under wraps for a while.
At the very least, we have to wait until his mercenaries reach a strength of 10,000.
Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that Liu Yuanfu wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
A lot has already been invested in Sichuan Province. With the emergence of such a lucrative arsenal, things are not so easy to predict.
Various connections and checks and balances can only maintain a balance; if you really want to protect yourself, you still have to rely on your fists.
"Tell him that this matter is not urgent for now, and we will discuss everything when I get back."
"By the way, I'm going back to China at the end of August."
There were so many things to do during this trip to the United States that almost half a year has passed before I knew it.
The most important thing left is to push forward with the oil mine acquisition.
It was originally going to be a bit troublesome, but if we can get involved with Rohir this time, it will be much easier...
A week later, in the conference room of Fenghua Manufacturing, Lin Yi and the representatives sent by Rohir Financial Investment officially signed the equity transfer agreement.
Both sides compromised, agreeing to value 15% of the shares at $15 million.
There are also additional conditions.
To sell FengHua air coolers in the European market, a dedicated company needs to be established.
Rosier holds 51% of the shares, while Fenghua Manufacturing holds 49%.
Lin Yi didn't care about that.
Once the products are distributed to Europe, Feng Hua Manufacturing's stock price will at least double!
Just as he had predicted, things immediately went smoothly after the addition of two representatives sent by Rohir to the negotiating team regarding the oil mine acquisition.
Especially matters concerning the government.
In just one month, they acquired 42 percent of McCarthy Oil Company for 50 million.
Finally, the problem of Lihua Petroleum's crude oil shortage has been resolved...
In early September, Shanghai was still hot.
Lin Yi stretched as he stepped off the gangway, greedily inhaling the air that felt both familiar and strange.
This is a psychological feeling.
"Young Master, Miss Sheng Qi has arrived."
Ah Sheng, who was standing nearby, reminded him.
Lin Yi looked up and saw Sheng Aiyi standing not far away, smiling and looking her over.
Beside her was Meng Qianyu, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year.
"Haha, Miss Seven, how could I trouble you to come and pick me up? I am truly flattered."
Lin Yi chuckled and walked over. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Meng Qianyu and said, "Miss Meng, it's only natural for old friends to hug each other after reuniting, isn't it?"
“Mr. Lin, there is a difference between men and women. This is not the United States.”
As Meng Qianyu spoke, she extended her slender, jade-like hand.
As the two shook hands, Sheng Aiyi glared at Lin Yi and asked, "Mr. Lin, you didn't bring your American girlfriend with you this time?"
"I've heard that the Hollywood star Alice openly declared that you're her boyfriend."
"Seventh Miss, is there no welcome banquet?"
"You have no idea how difficult it is to get a decent meal in the United States."
"Even on the ship that brought us back, we ate steak every day."
"I have no other thoughts right now, I'd be perfectly content with just a bowl of wontons."
Lin Yi immediately changed the subject.
Alice is an advertising model.
As someone who has lived abroad and is also a normal man, there are some things that always need to be resolved.
It wasn't exactly a casual fling, but Alice's role was limited to being his girlfriend in the United States.
He knew that Sheng Aiyi hated scumbags like him.
Having not seen her for so long, it was really inappropriate to tease her on purpose.
"Miss Qi prepared a family banquet. On her way here, she told me that she was worried that Mr. Lin would be too busy to attend."
Meng Qianyu said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Seven blushed: "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to ask how my money is doing."
