Start from the old nine gates

Chapter 56 Winchester Arms Company
Los Angeles, USA

A Ford car slowly stopped at the gate of a dilapidated weapons factory.

As soon as Chen Yuan walked down, he smelled a strong smell emanating from the factory, and then looked up to see Lawrence Winchester who was hurrying over.

He is also the current director of this weapons factory.

"Mr. Rice, why don't you say anything when you're here, so I can prepare in advance." Lawrence said politely with a smile all over his face.

Chen Yuan bought the 20 tons of ammunition and weapons from here. For Winchester who has not received orders for a long time, Chen Yuan can be regarded as a big customer.

After a few polite words, Lawrence looked up at the increasingly intense sunlight, and said, "Mr. Rice, stop standing outside, let's talk inside."

"Ah."

Chen Yuan immediately followed Lawrence, and slowly walked into the bankrupt factory in front of him.

After the last visit, Chen Yuan sent someone to investigate the factory.

Winchester, an established weapon manufacturer.

As the most important asset of the Winchester family, the once thriving factory, after being handed over to the elder son Laurent, the business turned around.

Later, after the old owner found out, he was so angry that he was half dead, and then quickly let his second son be the director of the factory.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but look at Lawrence who was walking ahead.

It has to be said that the other party did have some ability, and even forcibly pulled the Winchester Arms Factory out of the brink of bankruptcy.

After walking for a long time, a huge gray factory building came into view, but only sporadic machine sounds kept ringing inside.

Obviously, the other party's current situation is still not very good.

There is a small three-story building next to the factory. Under Lawrence's leadership, he soon came to an office on the third floor.

After Chen Yuan sat down and poured a cup of coffee, Lawrence, who was sitting aside, said slowly, "Mr. Rice, you came here suddenly this time. It's not because the weapons you bought before have been used up."

Lawrence said tentatively, especially since the opponent had just purchased a batch of weapons in half a month, even a small battle would be fine.

Unless the other party has a channel to sell weapons in their hands, otherwise, they can't be consumed so quickly.

If this is the case, Lawrence will definitely do everything possible to keep this order.

Speaking of which, Lawrence felt a little helpless.

When his elder brother was the factory manager before, he didn't care about anything, he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled all day long, which was fine, but the other party actually embezzled more than 100 million US dollars that the factory was planning to update the equipment.

When it was discovered later, the factory could only produce weapons that were phased out due to outdated equipment, and the business plummeted.

Although he rectified the management of the factory and relied on his previous connections to win back some old customers, he could only just maintain normal operation.

"That's right, I did have a big order when I came here this time, and it was a big order of hundreds of tons." Chen Yuan said lightly.

"What did you say?" Lawrence quickly reconfirmed, with a trembling voice, "a large order of hundreds of tons."

Obviously, this news was beyond the other party's expectation.

Lawrence showed a look of joy. Such a large order can make the factory a lot of money, which is enough to make the mired Winchester Arms Company pay back a big mouthful of blood.

Once the new weapons can be produced, Lawrence is confident that all the old customers will be brought back.

However, what Chen Yuan said next made Lawrence's heart fall into an abyss.

"However, I have conditions. If I want to get my order, I need the shares of the factory in exchange."

Chen Yuan fell in love with this weapons factory when he first came here.

His words did not conceal his interest in the factory at all, nor did he feel the slightest bit of shame for his behavior of taking advantage of the fire.

This is a potential weapons factory, and there is an excellent factory manager, only one order that can completely turn around the predicament is missing.

But now the order is in his own hands.

Lawrence looked at the other party's attitude of being determined, and his heart sank even more.

However, the difficulties faced by factories are real.

Although Lawrence was so reluctant, reason still made Lawrence hold back the words of refusal.

Lawrence looked at the sun shining on the other party's golden hair, reflecting the light, and the dark but shining star eyes.

I felt an inexplicable feeling of palpitations in my heart.

After a long time, Lawrence finally made a choice, and a deep voice sounded in the room, "Mr. Rice, if you can give me the order in your hand, I am willing to pay 10% of the shares."

"not enough."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said calmly.

If it's only 10% of the shares, it's not worth the effort, or even a trip.

"Mr. Rice, don't push yourself too far."

Hearing this, Lawrence stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Although your order is very important, it is already the limit to exchange for 10% of the shares."

Lawrence still didn't say too decisively, and still hoped to get this order in his heart.

Chen Yuan took a sip of coffee, then stood up, glanced at the other party with his unwavering eyes like a trace of stagnant water, and then continued: "Who says it's not worth it, if I say it's just the first order, take it How about the second, third, and fourth strokes?"

Lawrence was startled at this moment, subconsciously took two steps back.

At this moment, Lawrence realized that the young man in front of him had already prepared everything, and his rebuttal was more like following the other party's script.

Even though he was unwilling, Lawrence could only choose to agree.

After all, the other party gave too much.

If it was just a single stroke, Lawrence might still have some confidence, but if it was a lot of strokes, it would be enough to completely reverse the company's current predicament.

Facing the bankruptcy and rebirth of the factory, Lawrence has no way out.

Although the arms factory is an important asset of Winchester, it is not the only asset.

For the old man to hand over the ownership of this factory to himself is not only an exercise, but also an opportunity.

After all, in the eyes of the family members, the factory is clearly doomed, and they are not even willing to spend a fortune to try to save it.

Although he is the second son, he has never been taken seriously.

It took a lot of money to be able to come to this factory as the factory manager.

You must know that the competition among these big families has always been fierce. Once they fail this time, it is almost difficult to have a chance to stand up in the future.

At this time, Chen Yuan was standing by the window, half of the sunlight fell on his face, and the other half was blocked by the curtains, like a newborn demon, slowly spreading its fangs.

Not that Lawrence chose, but no choice at all.

Lawrence didn't dare to gamble that someone would bring him so many orders.

Once it fails, there is no opportunity to manage assets.

Just like his elder brother, he was thrown into the cold palace directly, and he was given a random sum of money to let him fend for himself.

In an instant, Lawrence thought too much, and finally made a decision in his heart.

"If it's really what you said, I'm willing to give up 30% of the shares." Lawrence said with pain in his heart.

After talking for a while, and realizing that this was already the bottom line in the other party's heart, Chen Yuan did not object, but agreed smoothly.

If you are pushing an inch, it is not good.

After all, no matter what you do, you must grasp a certain degree, and sometimes it is not good to pass it.

Although Lawrence is in charge of the entire factory, it is also owned by other shareholders. Although there are not many, they add up to twenty or thirty shares.

So the 30% that Lawrence took out was almost half of what the other party owned.

Sincerity can be said to be full.

"Then I would like to thank Director Lawrence." Chen Yuan said with a smile on his face, "As for the first batch of orders, they will be delivered in three days."

Chen Yuan didn't mention the matter of shares, and all of this has to wait for the order to be placed.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a white wolf with empty gloves.

Even if Chen Yuan is willing, Lawrence will not agree.

"Then Director Lawrence, since I've finished talking about everything, I'll leave first."

Click, the office door was opened.

Chen Yuan seemed to glance at the assistant standing at the door meaningfully, then turned and left.
