As he walked, Lin Mo noticed that the middle-aged foreigner beside Herbert, with tall blonde hair and a gray suit, giving people a feeling of restraint and deepness. Lin Decided that this guy is definitely not an ordinary person.

When he arrived at the backyard, several people sat down one by one. Just as Herbert was about to explain, Lin Mo asked first: "Herbert, don't you know this is your friend? Why don't you recommend me?"

Herbert knew that Lin Mo was a friend who did not trust him, so he quickly explained: "This is T.J. Scott, a German-American, and my neighbor when I was a child. Later, he immigrated to the United States with his parents. We met in Shanghai a few years ago, but now there are many people doing foreign trade in Shanghai, so he came to Nanjing to develop. Scott is very trustworthy."

"Hello Mr. Lin, I often hear Herbert mention you, and I am very happy to know you." After hearing Herbert introduce himself, Scott immediately greeted Lin Mo and extended his hand to Lin Mo.

Seeing Scott reaching out his hand, Lin Mo also reached out and shook Scott, then introduced Yang Haicheng and the other two, and let them drink tea and snacks by themselves, and talked with Herbert and Scott himself.

Lin Mo asked Herbert: "There is a lot of information for more than 200 tons. Even waste paper is a considerable amount of money. How could he have so many things?"

Herbert heard that Lin Mo had not refused to buy these things yet, so he quickly explained: "When the noble man heard that someone was taking these, he joined forces with a group of people in their circle to acquire a large number of bankrupt small businesses at a very low price, and planned to pack the technical information in it and sell it for me to make a profit."

"Lin, if you have money, you must buy it for me. Although their circle is full of playboys, their parents are both politicians from various countries. If you don't buy it, I and your Lin family may have trouble."

After hearing this, Lin Mo pondered for a while and thought that the Lin family was in the import business. If he really offended a group of people like this, he would really say that no one would affect the Lin family's business.

After thinking about it, he said to Herbert: "If the price is right, I can buy it, but do you know what information is there? Will we be in trouble if you buy it? You never could buy information before. But what about those machines?"

Listening to Lin Mo's series of questions, Herbert was also full of bitterness. He never thought that the noble man would be so unreliable, nor did he know if Lin Mo could eat so much.

However, without hesitation, he quickly answered Lin Mo's question: "There is no trouble. Those information are from some small and medium-sized bankrupt enterprises. They are not worth anything in our place, or they are not willing to take over.

I couldn't buy it before, but I couldn't find anyone with these things. In recent years, we have been full of bankrupt companies. Most of them can buy some as long as you pay and find the right person. However, ordinary people dare not sell them abroad publicly.

Guizi himself didn't know what information he had. He told his men to do it. A few days ago, he sent a telegram and said that some of them were shipbuilding, steel, cement, machines, processing, smelting, tractors and other factories. Anyway, there were all kinds of factories.

As for the machines, they bought the bankrupt factory and thought that since you bought the information, you would definitely buy the machines, so they would load the machines and ship them for us to collect them."

After hearing Herbert's answer, Lin Mo was also worried about his own headaches and was speechless about these second-generation officials.

But he asked: "Just tell me, how much do they want?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question, Herbert quickly replied: "They asked for a price of $5 million, but I think the price could be reduced. And they also hired a group of technicians in those bankrupt factories. The noble man said that as long as you are willing to buy all the cargo ships, he would send the technicians over, but you have to pay the salary yourself."

After hearing Herbert's words, he had the heart to death, but he still asked patiently: "I just want to know how much the cost of those things is, and the price of 5 million US dollars. Even if the Lin family sells it, they don't have that much money. Even if there is one, it's not something I can use."

In fact, Lin Mo has this money. He was originally the eldest son of the Lin family. He had a rough figure for the Lin family's property. However, it was concluded that the entire inventory and many industries of the Lin family could be collected. Of course, the assets of the mansion, land, antique collection and other assets were not included. Of course, this money was almost all the funds that the Lin family could turn over.

Herbert was stunned when he heard that the Lin family was so rich. He thought that Lin Mo could only buy the information at most, so he quickly replied: "Those bankrupt companies are not worth much, at most about one million US dollars. They buy them cheaper and they can't spend much money."

Lin Mo was quite surprised when he heard Herbert say this. He thought that the cost of those machines would cost 20 million US dollars. Then he thought, it was right. Those noble men were not fools. If the cost was so high, how could they just sell the information to make a profit? In their eyes, those machines were just a big deal.

However, Lin Mo would not put the price too low because of this. After all, it is difficult to find a group of people who are willing to sell these things. Maybe they can buy more good things from them in the future. Moreover, those technicians are also very precious. If you miss it, it will not be easy to find them in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo said to Herbert: "I will negotiate with my family for up to $2 million. Please help me negotiate the price with him. As long as I can negotiate the price, I will not lose your commission, but the price cannot be too low, at least $1.5 million. I and them may have a chance to cooperate in the future. Do you think it will be possible to reach the level?"

Hearing Lin Mo's inquiry, Herbert fell into deep thought. He had never been in contact with such a big business and he was not confident of negotiating the price.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Scott, who had not spoken next to him, said to Lin Mo: "The price given by Mr. Lin is already very high. Those bankrupt factories are not valuable in the West. The other party is obviously bullying you for not understanding the market and making random quotes. I believe the other party cannot refuse the price given by Mr. Lin."

Hearing Scott's words, Herbert also looked up and asked Scott, "Is it true?" Scott nodded at Herbert.

Seeing this, Herbert turned to Lin Mo and asked, "Lin, then I'll talk for $1.5 million, but can you use so much money? Do you need to talk to Manager Lou?"

Lin Mo heard this and said, "No need now, you can negotiate the price first! Then I will go directly to my father and others to discuss it. Uncle Lou can't make this decision."

"But you don't have to worry. The amount of more than 200 tons of data, corresponding to the factory and the machines is definitely indispensable. Even if you pull scrap iron back and sell it, you won't lose much. My father and others have no problem. At worst, they can just do a big deal. And if they get online, they have the opportunity to make money back now."

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Scott on the side also said, "Herbert, just go and talk with peace of mind! Young Master Lin is right. If you bring these things over, they will definitely not lose money."

After hearing this, Lin Mo also started to speak, finally dispelling Herbert's doubts and asked Herbert to agree.

Lin Mo could think of these machines and information with his toes, and he could think of what was going on. It was definitely a small and medium-sized enterprise that was hit by the economic crisis in the West.

These things may be a pile of ragged copper and iron in the West. After all, they do not lack machines. Factory can produce new machines as soon as they open. Who would want to buy these rags? But they will definitely be worth a lot of money in China.

Also, Lin Mo knew that the machines of this era were very solid, after all, not so high-precision. Even if they were worn out, they could be used to clean and repair them.

What impressed Lin Mo the most was that there were many experts from abroad in later generations who could start the rotten machines left by this era by rusting and cleaning them up, which really impressed Lin Mo.

When these machines are transported back, the Lin family can only find someone to clean up and repair them, and they can make a small profit at a very low price. Lin Mo is not afraid that Lin's father and others will not want to pay the money.

What's more, Lin Mo also has some ideas about this batch of machines. After all, Lin Mo will naturally know the future situation when he comes to his future. The Lin family's import business will not last long.

In addition, business often depends on relationships. The other party can easily transport a large number of machines and technical materials from many countries. Even if it is backward and eliminated, it is not easy. If you set up a line with the other party, then the business will come?

Linmer talked to Herbert for a while. He was very curious about Scott's identity, so he said to Scott: "I really have to thank Mr. Scott, otherwise we would have been tricked by hatred. I don't know what business Mr. Scott is doing, and he is so well-informed."

When she heard Lin Mo's question, before Scott had time to answer, she was quickly answered by Herbert: "Lin, didn't you ask me last time if I wanted to buy some good guns? There are many good American goods in Scott. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Hearing Herbert's answer, Scott smiled at Linmo and said, "I have recently received a batch of new guns. I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in going to take a look."

When Lin Mo heard the two people's answers, Lin Mo immediately understood that this guy was an arms dealer, and it might be an intelligence dealer. As a later generation, Lin Mo was very clear about these things.

You should know that foreigners who can do big business in China in this era are basically either related to foreign intelligence agencies or employees of large foreign companies, especially arms dealers and black market merchants. They are basically informants of members of intelligence agencies, but Lin Mo would not say anything. Anyway, what they should collect in a few years is the information of the Japanese.

"Okay, we're just out for a walk today. We'll go to your side to take a look later." Lin Mo said to Scott.

The current government of the Republic of China is not strict in the management of pistols. In the army, officers can wear pistols. As long as they go to the logistics gun management, they can register the gun model and other data. Lin Mo plans to buy some for his classmates.

Lin Mo thought about it and asked Yang Haicheng and the other two: "There are some good American guns on Cost. Do you want to go over and take a look together later?"

The three of them nodded after hearing this, and Li Changwu then said to Lin Mo: "Okay, we are almost graduated, so it is necessary to buy a few good guns with you."

Lin Mo knew what Li Changwu meant. He could bring it on his body to defend himself after buying a gun. After all, this era is still very chaotic. He could also give it to others when he came to the army. After all, there are no soldiers who don’t like guns.

Lin Mo chatted with the three of them for a few more words, then returned to Herbert and continued to talk about the cargo with him.

Some people may doubt that Lin’s family’s property has $5 million, but this amount is actually not large. At Lin Mo’s time, a dollar can be exchanged for about 2.4 oceans, and 5 million US dollars is only about 12 million oceans. The ocean weighs 26.6 grams, and the good ones contain 80% to 90%, which is 90% to 24 grams of silver.

The government of the Republic of China allowed the ocean to be cast and circulated freely. Spanish, Mexican eagle, French Indochina, Japanese, British, Austro-Hungarian "big nanny" of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, various dragon oceans (Qing Dynasty), big heads, small heads, ship oceans, Chinese versions, etc., even the Netherlands' 2.5 gulf, France/Belgium's 5 francs, etc., that is, anyone who meets this specification can be considered as a ocean, and one tael of silver is about 37 or 8 grams, equivalent to 1.5 oceans, and 12 million oceans is only less than 7.8 million taels of silver.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The measurements during the Qing Dynasty and the people's Republic of China were relatively chaotic, and the currency system was even more chaotic, especially during the Republic of China period, various warlords such as oceans and auxiliary coins, and local governments had systems. Those with better quality could have 80% or 90% of the money, and some were inferior to foreign countries and even less than half of them. The above in the book is the basis.

This silver is not a lot. Since the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of silver has been imported from the Americas by Europeans. Silver depreciated significantly in China and became a circulating currency. In the late Qing Dynasty, European countries exchanged large amounts of silver for Qing Dynasty money and accumulated copper materials. A large amount of silver inflow caused the silver price to depreciate significantly again.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, some maritime merchants engaged in smuggling on the coast had tens of millions of taels of wealth. Another intuitive thing was that He Kun embezzled wealth worth 800 million to 1.1 billion taels of silver, and even He Kun's house was raided with wealth of 100 million taels of silver.

Not to mention the distance, some people have conducted statistics during this period. The deposits of senior military and political officials and faction leaders in the government are often millions, tens of millions or even more. This is just a deposit, and it can still be found. The deposits that cannot be found, various real estate, real estate, financial assets, corporate industries, various antiques and jewelry, etc. are simply unimaginable.

Therefore, the family wealth of about 7.8 million taels was not much in the big families of that era. After all, it was accumulated by a big family for countless generations, and now the United States is about to raise the silver price, making the Lin family's silver more valuable.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo remembered the silver acquisition bill in the United States that he had read in college in his previous life. It seemed that the price of silver was rising in June this year. Maybe he still had a chance to make a big profit. Lin Mo thought about this quickly in his heart, but there was still a long time left, so Lin Mo was not in a hurry.

The two carefully sorted out the details several times and felt that there was no problem. Lin Mo said to Herbert: "Our family does not have that much cash, and it may take several months to turn around. Will there be any problems?"

Facing Lin Mo's inquiry, Herbert thought for a while and replied: "I think it's okay. It will take some time for the boat to come. When the boat arrives, pay a deposit first. The others should be able to slow down."

"Okay, let's stop here for this matter. If you have any questions, we will communicate." Lin Mo said and turned to Scott and asked, "Mr. Scott, don't know where we are going to trade. Is it convenient for us to go now?"

After hearing this, Scott quickly said to Lin Mo: "Lin, you don't need to call me a sir, just call me my name. My shop is on Zhongshan Road. I'll take you there later."
