This thing, if you have the channels and can get the supply, it will sell well outside.

Nothing else to say.

In a country like America where people are simple and honest, less than 10% of the people do not own guns?!

why is that?

Don't they want to?

No……

It's simply that guns are too expensive and people can't afford them. But if there is a cheap source, or a second-hand source, finding an agent to distribute the goods can also be considered a business.

…

But these are secondary. Alan just wants to make good friends this time.

A large number of production lines will soon be purchased and shipped over, and then the factory will be built and put into production.

The total value of the industry here is over 100 million pounds. Without some connections to protect you, who can feel at ease?

This is real money!

It was earned by Master Allen through hard work, by cheating penny by penny... ahem!

…

Allen's wealth is not enough to make him take hundreds of millions of pounds lightly.

As for human nature, the locals have to consider personal relationships when doing business. As a foreigner, even if it is a foreign company, does he really think that he can sit back and relax after investing there?

But Allen can't stay in China permanently, or go there and openly bribe people.

The same is true for the Counselor Wang in front of us. Giving a small gift is fine, but if you really bribe him with money, it’s not about whether he can take care of those messy things, but he can’t do it. He is mainly responsible for attracting investment, not the things after attracting investment!

Sometimes, bribery does not necessarily require money. For example, now, what Allen took out was an offer that Counselor Wang could not refuse.

Only by paying a large sum of money can he get others to help him!

Alan doesn't like to be stingy, he wants to get it done right the first time!

…

This thing is said to be a gift, but it is mixed with human feelings!

This favor is not something Counselor Wang can do, but...

The person behind him responded.

As for who will bear the brunt of this favor in the end, Allen doesn't care. But as long as they dare to accept this gift, then Allen's investment in China will not be worry-free in the future, but at least there will be less trouble!

…

Counselor Wang listened to the Earl's request and felt it was not too difficult but too simple!

He still didn't know how much Allen's next investment plan would be, so when he looked at the tank in front of him, Counselor Wang felt a little uneasy.

But suddenly...

A flash of light passed through Counselor Wang's mind, and he seemed to have thought of something.

This year, some time ago, American President Reagan personally announced the plan.

A project in cooperation with China, called Peace Model, also known as the Peace Pearl Project.

The United States even proposed to sell some advanced components of its current fighter jets, including but not limited to radars, engines and the like.

And now...

As a well-known troublemaker in Europe, and as a British earl, could they not hold back again?

America is personally helping to upgrade the aircraft, and they, the British, want to get involved?

Looking at the tank in front of me...

The export version of the tank is designed to target Soviet tanks and has been tested in actual combat.

Counselor Wang silently thought of a few key words. This old technology tank from 20 years ago, do you think it is advanced?

It was quite advanced for Counselor Wang, but not for the British.

If it is really advanced, can they sell it to Kuwait?

Look at its technical indicators, they are so obvious, can't you guess what they are up to?

…

Counselor Wang was a little confused about what Allen meant for a moment.

He glanced at Alan from the corner of his eye. Although this earl looked young, he was very cunning...

These people are all mean and just want to hide behind and provide support.

He is now a little confused whether this is Allen's personal behavior or if there is some deeper meaning.

After thinking for a while, Counselor Wang said with some doubt: "Taking care of the business is easy. We welcome you to invest in our country and will not treat you differently, but..."

Pointing at the tank, Counselor Wang hesitated and said, "Are you sure we can transport this thing?"

As soon as Counselor Wang finished speaking, Allen laughed.

He was sure that Counselor Wang had discovered the key point. He asked this question, seemingly caring about whether the tank could be transported out, but in fact, he was testing him.

What are you testing?

If it can be shipped out through formal procedures, then it is likely that this thing was given with a deep meaning. If it goes through other channels, then it is likely that it was given by Alan, the silly one. These are two different situations.

…

In the distance, a servant trotted over to Alan with a large document bag and handed it to him with both hands.

Alan took the file bag and handed it to Counselor Wang beside him without even looking at it, motioning him to open it.

Counselor Wang saw that Allen did not reply, but handed him something and pinched the string on the button of the file bag and shook it open.

Inside was a license plate, a thin maintenance manual, and other stuff...

Title documents.

Looking at the so-called drawing, which is this maintenance manual, the technical content in it is completely not on the same level as the production drawing!

But according to this manual, you can indeed reinstall some of the disassembled items according to the illustrated examples.

Counselor Wang looked at Allen with a little disappointment.

"Haha, Mr. Wang doesn't understand our country very well. I said this is a big toy, and it is a big toy. This is the license plate of this tank, and it can be driven on the road!"

Alan looked at Counselor Wang, who looked confused, with a smile on his face and explained it to him.

This thing is a bit unconventional, but due to different national conditions, Counselor Wang may not have been exposed to this kind of thing in his daily life.

In Britain, tanks can really be driven on the road and can also be converted for civilian use.

The premise is that the weapons and equipment on the vehicle must be dismantled. This does not mean that the gun must be dismantled, but only some of the internal equipment must be dismantled!

Then after the relevant departments have inspected the vehicle, this thing can be converted for civilian use. If you want to drive it on the road, you can replace it with rubber tracks, point the turret backwards, and then you can drive it on the road normally!

As long as you have the legal documents and obey the traffic rules, it will be fine!

If you want to ship such "civilian tanks" out, as long as the procedures are correct, you can ship them anywhere you want, as long as the destination can accept them.

As for the internal parts that were dismantled, those were small and no one cared as long as they were not transported together.

In Britain, as long as the money is in place and it's not a particularly sensitive area, we'll let you do anything.

If the old count dares to take this tank back, there will be no big problem.

These license plates were obtained by Alan through the procedures he asked Hughes from the security department to handle.

…

"Civilian...civilian tanks?"

"Um!"

Counselor Wang was a little speechless. He didn't quite understand this kind of thing, but... this didn't stop him from accepting this statement. Every place has some weird rules.

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much. Your request is absolutely no problem. You are our best friend!"

Counselor Wang specifically emphasized the words "we" and "good friends".

"Haha, then let Counselor Wang take care of it. Please leave your address and I will help you with the transportation issue in a few days."

"Okay! I'll trouble you then!"

Counselor Wang was really happy. As long as he got this thing back, it would be of great reference value!

The earl gave him such a valuable gift just for his business, so he must return the favor and help him put in good terms!

…

10am on October 20th.

In a small conference room on the third floor, the host on TV was introducing the so-called Black Monday in America with a serious face.

Alan held the newspaper and read the news expressionlessly.

Yesterday, Monday, October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much as 22.3%!

A full 500 billion US dollars evaporated!

The newspapers reported this incident extensively, and Alan felt dizzy reading all these indexes and declines.

His current state is a bit like the crowd waiting to watch the fireworks show during the holidays.

He hid far away, watching the fireworks going off in the sky, his face changing with the colorful flames.

To be precise, Alan was too far away from the financial crisis and didn't even feel any impact on him.

But Allen, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, actually felt very calm when this day came. It was like... watching a movie, a little unreal.

The U.S. financial market is in panic right now.

Putting down the newspaper, Alan glanced around and saw that besides Huth, there were also his investment advisor Matthias, the head of the film and television department Siphis, old Karl who came back overnight, and several professors in the field of economics.

There were already news reports on TV yesterday afternoon, but the specific information was not accurate. Old Carl brought back first-hand intelligence directly, and combined with the newspaper reports this morning, the information is basically clear.

…

"Tell me, what should we do this time?"

Everyone knew that Allen was planning to acquire industries, production lines, etc. in the United States, and old Carl had even been tracking the stock market for several months and had known about some of the signs early on. Now it has actually happened.

Several economics professors looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Allen knocked on the table and asked someone to turn off the TV before saying, "Plan a timeline. This is considered a stock market crash, right? How long do we have to wait? When can we go over to acquire it? This is the most important thing!"

He doesn't care how many people in America will have their jobs ruined or go bankrupt because of the stock market crash. Whatever happens, what he cares about is when he can go shopping!

I remember that in some novels I read before, the protagonist encountered a stock market crash and took out large amounts of funds in advance, and used leverage, short selling and other methods to make huge profits in the stock market.

But only when he really got involved in such things could Alan realize the danger involved.

He wouldn't do that kind of work.

Alan doesn't have the memory to remember the highest point, the lowest point, and so on. Once this thing jumps, it's like a dam bursting, and it's out of control. With his ability, there's no way he can play it!

Now, Allen just wants to be a vulture. He won't get involved with those financial tycoons, who can play however they want. He will wait until they have had enough fun, then Allen can go over and pick and choose!

…

"Sir... this financial crisis is so fierce that it is beyond our expectations. As for the final outcome, we need to observe for a few more days and collect more data."

"Um……"

Alan frowned, but didn't know what to say. It was only the first day and there was no point in being anxious. He could only wait patiently.

"Then...how long will it take for their situation to improve?"

"This is even harder to predict. Given the size of the American market, if the losses from yesterday continue for a while, it's hard to say for sure. It will take at least two to three years to recover...at least!"

Two or three years...

It seems to be just a time data, but in the past two or three years, some people have had a hard time. They lost their jobs and couldn't find work.

Another professor who used to give Allen a lecture looked at Allen and said, "Sir, in the American style...if they drag it out for too long, they might have to rely on external forces to divert the conflict."

"Oh? How do you mean..."

Diverting conflicts...

"Military-industrial enterprises..." The middle-aged teacher said a word briefly and then shut up.

Alan raised his eyebrows and understood!

…

If you want to quickly stimulate economic recovery, is there any faster way than selling arms?

and……

America not only sells arms abroad, but also consumes them itself.

How to consume?

Find someone to have a meal with...

At that time, we will bring a group of allies and everyone will help the domestic military-industrial enterprises.

The military-industrial capital group can make money, divert conflicts, and guide public opinion. It has too many advantages.

Thinking of this, Allen had an idea in his mind. He already knew who the unlucky guy was...

So this is what the fuck is...

"Okay... let's observe for a few more days. Siphis stay here, Hutt, help me see the guests off."

"Okay, Master!"

Huth stood up and walked out of the conference room with several professors and old Carl.

…

“How long will it take to complete the later stage?”

"Probably next month. Our film is relatively simple and straightforward."

"Um……"

Alan looked at Siphis, who had dark circles under his eyes and obviously had not had enough rest, and asked about the progress of the film's post-production.

I want to make money in America, but I am facing a financial crisis in America. Now...

All industries are going to be in recession this year.

This has some impact on the release of his new movie.

If we continue like this for the next one or two years, then the plan may have to be changed.

Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but feel a little toothache. It seemed that he was not affected, but now that he thought about it carefully, he was still affected.

"Master...when do you want our new movie to be released?"

Siphis looked at Allen, waiting for him to make a decision. The stock market was so bleak, and if he wanted to release a movie in the near future, would the audience not be interested in watching it?

Although he doesn't know much about finance, this doesn't stop Siphis from having wild thoughts. Without money, who the hell would want to go to the movies?
