The next day, the day of the engagement.

Early in the morning, the guests came early and greeted them with all kinds of greetings.

"Xiao Chen, I'm engaged in the blink of an eye. ”

"Yes, I saw him holding it in his hand a little bit. ”

"Life flies so fast, the children are older, we are old. ”

Wang Chen shuttled through the crowd, smiling, and kept greeting, "Grandpa, grandma...... Aunts and uncles...... Auntie, you're finally here...... Uncle, don't be busy, sit and talk for a while......"

Looking at the six cars listening on the side of the road, and then looking at the little aunt who was acting as a matchmaker and what was talking to his mother, Wang Chen was in a good mood.

Today is my own engagement day.

In another year, they will get married, in addition to truly loving Shen Xia, it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of their parents, after all, they are getting older, and their biggest wish is to hold their grandson or granddaughter.

It's still early to go to the woman's house.

Wang Chen, who was wearing a suit, looked at his watch, why hasn't John Chris Morgan come yet? I didn't invite any friends to get engaged today, they are all direct elders, and they are not married, so there is no need to be so troublesome, so John Chris Morgan may be the only "foreign guest".

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Before Wang Chen's hand was completely lowered to look at his watch, a Maybach business vehicle with a Shanghai license plate stopped, and then a Chinese man in his forties wearing glasses leaned out of the driver's seat, speaking Mandarin with the Shanghai dialect and said, "Young man, is this Wang Chen's house?"

Wang Chen was just about to open his mouth to answer, but the rear door of the commercial vehicle had already opened.

John Chris Morgan got out of the car with a master appraiser he had seen in the United States and a strange middle-aged blonde man.

Wang Chen hurriedly greeted, "Good morning, Mr. John." ”

John Chris Morgan hugged him with very warm arms, "Good morning, dear king. ”

Wang Chen hugged him.

Letting go, John Chris Morgan turned his head sideways at the strange middle-aged blonde man and said, "Mr. Hebrew, come and meet our most respected client, Mr. Wang Chenwang." ”

Belch?

Most respectful customer?

Could it be that this is the buyer of matchbox diamonds?

Wang Chen was a little puzzled, and the next moment, he finally knew the identity of the other party.

The middle-aged man who was called Hebrew stepped forward and stretched out his right hand with a smile, "Hello King Earth, I'm Jack Hebrew, the deputy head of sales at General Dynamics, you can call me by my full name, or Jack." ”

the groove.

People from General Dynamics?

Wang Chen was blindsided, he suddenly remembered one thing, it seems that the company is under the control of the Morgan family, this is nothing, the most important point, General Dynamics is the largest arms dealer in the United States, is also one of the defense contractors, its industry is divided into four major fields, one is navigation equipment, mainly the manufacture of warships and nuclear submarines, the second is the aviation field, including commercial aircraft and fighter planes, the third is the information system and technology sector, and the fourth is the manufacture of offensive weapons.

In other words, it is very likely that the arms that John Chris Morgan purchased came from General Dynamics?

Greet the three of them inside.

At first glance, the relatives all looked at it curiously.

"Xiaochen, did you also invite crooked nuts?"

"Auntie, this is my business partner, and I happened to come to China, so I invited me here. ”

"Hey, our Xiaochen's business is big enough, and we all have dealings with crooked nuts. ”

The little aunt made a fuss.

Other relatives were also more or less surprised.

In everyone's subconscious, to be able to do business with foreigners, how big does Wang Chen's business have to be?

Wang Chen didn't say much, and took the three of them to the second floor.

……

Second floor.

In the small bedroom on the west side, Wang Chen, John Chris Morgan, and the master appraiser were inside to see if there was any problem with the matchbox diamonds.

As for Hebrew, John Chris Morgan was left outside in the living room for the time being.

After checking it for a while, the master appraiser was sure that there was no problem, "It's a matchbox diamond." ”

"Put it away. John Chris Morgan bowed, then took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Send 800 million US dollars to that Hong Kong account." ”

A very simple sentence.

Without saying anything at all, John Chris Morgan hung up the phone, and then said to Wang Chen with a smile: "The money is expected to arrive in half an hour, you have someone to check it." ”

Wang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Morgan." "After half an hour, you can check the balance on the bank's APP, and you don't need to ask someone to check it.

After chatting about the matchbox diamonds, the master appraiser went out.

After a while, the Hebrews came in from the outside and closed the door.

Seeing Hebrew coming in, John Chris Morgan glanced at it, and then said, "King, the arms you want have been shipped last night, and it is expected to be delivered to Africa the day after tomorrow. ”

Wang Chen snorted.

Hebrew put down the briefcase and took out an A4 piece of paper from it, "Because of the legal reasons in your country, the real list of items can only be seen when you go to Africa, and this is what I printed out on a printer in the Shanghai branch." ”

Wang Chen stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Hebrew handed the paper over.

Looking down, the first line of eyes is 4X4 light armored vehicles, these arms will be brought to the Northern Song Dynasty, will not appear in a corner of modern society, Wang Chen still knows, moreover, John Chris Morgan registered himself in Africa to legally use these arms company, all procedures are legal and compliant, Wang Chen does not have to worry about anything.

Hebrew seemed to realize that Wang Chen saw the first line and began to introduce, "This light armored car used to belong to a certain army, which unit I can't say directly, it has just been allowed to be sold to civilians, this light armored car has a ground clearance of 355 mm, and can adapt to various complex terrain with off-road tires; It is an armored car with the highest level of protection ability, with high bulletproof and explosion-proof functions; the cab adopts leather interior, which looks relatively high-end; it can carry about four crew members in the back, and the interior is very spacious and has no lame feeling; the car weighs 8.6 tons, is 6.2 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.2 meters high; has a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 600 kilometers. ”

Well, it's a bit different from what I imagined to be an armored car.

Wang Chen's eyes were dark, what he originally wanted was an armored vehicle with direct combat capability, what kind of 4X4 light armored vehicle sounded a bit like a logistics, maintenance vehicle, etc., he asked the curiosity in his heart, "Isn't it an armed armored vehicle?"

"You've procured twenty automatic mortars, and what more armed armored vehicles do you need, aren't they for repairs?" said Hebrew with a strange expression.

Wang Chen was stunned, what does it have to do with it, buddy has a connection with the purchase of mortars and armored vehicles?

He looked at it with a puzzled expression.

The second line is the mortar introduction, but the name written on it is a bit strange, called the PLL05 mortar.

Wang Chen raised his head and said, "Is there a model called PLL05 in the mortar?"

Hebrew was surprised again: "The automatic mortar you want is very suitable, or we should ask your country NORINCO to purchase it, after all, we basically do not produce automatic mortars in the United States." ”

Slowly.

Are we saying something wrong?

Wang Chen said a sentence and waited, then searched for the English translation on Baidu, entered the name on the list, and then the translation result was - PLL05 self-propelled mortar!

Wozh!

Dude seems to have had a problem with John Chris Morgan yesterday.

Wang Chen remembered that he was talking about a mortar that wanted to be self-reloading, so he said that it was an automatic mortar "Self-propelled-mortar", and the name of the self-propelled mortar was this......

I specifically said that the mortar costs four or five million dollars a piece, and the co-author is a self-propelled mortar, Nima, and the most important thing is to export to domestic sales!

This self-propelled mortar is produced in China, and some of it is sold in the international arms market, and the co-authoring General Dynamics Company asked our Chinese company to import it, and then sold it to itself?

Wang Chen's blood was about to vomit out.

What made him even more speechless was that Hebrew was still telling the situation, "The cost of this self-propelled mortar is about 13 million in your country, and our purchase price is relatively expensive, about 25 million, which is converted into 3.7 million US dollars, plus some odd expenses, our company also wants to make money, and it is not too much to charge you 5 million US dollars, don't you say?"

Wang Chen's face turned green, and he had to smile reluctantly: "Yes, not too much, not too much." "It's just a few handfuls, the price of an export to domestic sales has increased by one and a half times, and the blood of my buddy will be lost.

However, I really don't know other arms dealers, and it is already incredible to be able to buy a field artifact such as a self-propelled mortar.

It's just that he has a little sadness, who will use this thing under the hands of the buddy?

He continued to look with a dark face, and the next thing was the "PSRL-1 Shoulder Shoulder Bazooka".

Hebrew smacked his lips and said: "This bazooka is our imitation of the Russian RPG7, the cost of the RPG7 is only 1,300 US dollars, but we are more than this, plus according to a series of laws and regulations on the export of arms by the United States, the price is 54,000 US dollars, and it does not take any advantage of you, if you don't believe it, you can check whether the rocket launcher we sold to Ukraine is this price." The improved PSRL-1 Bazooka is similar in appearance to the RPG7, but its performance is very different. Although the price has risen dozens of times compared with RPG7, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, Ukrainian soldiers can use this rocket launcher to launch a surprise attack on enemy tanks at a greater distance, and this unguided rocket is not interfered with by any electronic signals, and Russian tanks can only intercept incoming rockets through active defense systems. It can be said that Ukrainian soldiers, equipped with this kind of individual bazooka, will pose a great threat to Russian tanks. ”

Indeed, in a sense, the PSRL-1 rocket launcher is countless times better than the RPG7, but the place where the buddy is going to fight is the Northern Song Dynasty, especially the Northern Song Dynasty, the other side is the ancient army, where does the electronic signal interference come from?

The corners of Wang Chen's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that next time, he must make up for his knowledge of arms, otherwise how much money can he save on this trip? Just like my buddy only needs mortars, I didn't think about self-mortars, and ordinary RPG7 bazookas are fine, and there is no need to get such a high-end PSRL-1 bazooka, it's all money.

Some people dismiss the saying that knowledge is wealth.

If Wang Chen heard this sentence now, he would definitely be smacked in the face, bah, knowledge is not wealth? Dude, a military illiterate, how much money did you lose in this procurement of arms? But if you know a little bit of knowledge in this area, you will save countless money, and knowledge is wealth!

I looked at the shells, bullets, and so on.

In the end, Wang Chen was puzzled to find that there was an underline underneath, which said Thirty M224 mortars, and he pointed to it suspiciously, "What's the matter with these mortars?"

Hebrew did not speak.

But John Chris Morgan took over with a smile and said, "Today you are engaged, this is my gift to you, and it is not very valuable." ”

Wang Chen sighed, his heart was slightly moved, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Morgan." ”

"No thanks. John Chris Morgan waved his hand, then smiled and said, "Now that you have a mortar, are you a special mortar shell from General Dynamics?"

Wang Chen: "......"

I said you were so kind to give me thirty mortars.

In the end, you still have to let your buddies spend money on shells?

Hebrew pitched: "This mortar is sold for 15,000 dollars, and consists of a gun body, a gun mount, a seat plate, The sight is composed of four parts, the gun body is made of high-strength alloy steel, and the threaded heat dissipation ring is engraved on the outside, which can be carried and operated by two people, and is equipped with a laser rangefinder and a mortar calculator, with a caliber of 60 mm, a barrel length of 110 cm, a maximum range of 3,490 meters, and can shoot in a direction of 360 degrees, with a maximum rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute, a continuous rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, a total weight of only 20.8 kilograms, and each shell is only 1.7 kilograms. I can give you a good price of 1,000 dollars and 20 shells, so let's get 100,000 shells. ”

it, profiteers, profiteers.

Thirty mortars are worth about $450,000, but you want me to buy 100,000 shells for five million?

Wang Chen finally saw how American arms dealers do business, and it was shameless, but he really needed mortars, and thought about it, "Okay, bring me 100,000 shells." ”

Hebrew rejoiced, "Yes man, this is your wise choice, and I will call someone to send you to Africa later." ”

Then John Chris Morgan said, "Hey, King, look down a little further, I have sent you some engagement gifts." ”

And also?

Wang Chen looked down, didn't he.

One M1 main battle tank.

Hebrew said: "Our Mr. Morgan attaches great importance to you, this M1 main battle tank costs more than $4.3 million, and the external sales are about $8.5 million, and now it is given away for free, do you want to buy some shells and bullets to try to use it well? If it is easy to use, you can directly ask me to purchase it in the future, and I can give you an ultra-low price of $8 million." ”

Wang Chen: "......"

John Chris Morgan smiled again: "I also gave you an M777 howitzer, do you like it?"

Hebrew continued to sell, "The gun costs about $700,000, the selling price is about a million, there are special 155mm shells, the gun weighs less than 4.22 tons, the 777 has the characteristics of low profile, high survivability, and rapid deployment and loading capabilities, so it can quickly enter the launch position in the most challenging battlefield environments, it is very useful, oh, if you want to purchase, I can also give you a special price of 900,000 US dollars." ”

Wang Chen: "............"

John Chris Morgan continued: "There are also Ajax armored vehicles jointly developed by the United States and the United Kingdom, each of which costs $7.6 million, and I will give you one as well. ”

Hebrew sang red-faced and said: "This armored car is in a sense better than the tank of the king of land warfare, and the most important thing is that it costs only 7.6 million US dollars, and as long as 7.6 million you can drive the world's most advanced Ajax armored car home, how about it? What are you hesitating about?"

Wang Chen: ".................."

I'm hesitating your sister!

What about you two teaming up to cheat me on money?

Wang Chen finally understood that John Chris Morgan's attitude changed greatly after hearing that he had placed a large order, and he regarded himself as a major customer of General Dynamics, and was ready to sell arms to himself for a long time?

Tanks, armored vehicles and howitzers?

Obviously you want me to pay for it!

However, he did need some modern and cutting-edge weapons in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Chen did not immediately refuse, but said euphemistically: "I'll try how effective these weapons are, and give me some shells and bullets for armored vehicles, tanks and howitzers...... Well, the purchase quantity is controlled within five million dollars, and if I use it well, I will go back to Mr. Hebrew and you will continue to purchase. ”

Hebrew and John Chris Morgan glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes, the things they took out were all good things, and they were not afraid that Wang Chen would not like it after using it, Hebrew immediately said: "Okay, I'll call back immediately to place an order, and by the way, I will take a few professionals to teach you how to use it, but I have said it first, in addition to five million dollars to buy 100,000 mortar shells, the remaining five million dollars can't buy many tanks, Shells for armored vehicles, like those of the M1 main battle tank, cost about 1,500 dollars each, and in the end, you pay 10 million dollars. ”

In the end, he was cheated by the other party for 10 million dollars.

However, Wang Chen's mood was very wonderful, and he got an M1 main battle tank and Ajax armored car for free, plus an M777 howitzer and thirty M224 mortars.

At that time, don't say that the king of Bagan has forty or fifty thousand troops, even if there are four or five hundred thousand, buddy will not be afraid at all!

……

Finish talking business.

Wang Chen took John Chris Morgan and others downstairs and introduced them to his relatives, without revealing their identities.

Then, when the time was about right, Wang Chen invited John Chris Morgan to accompany him to complete the engagement ceremony, and naturally, the master of the appraisal and the Hebrew followed, after all, they only knew Wang Chen here, and Wang Chen could not have left them behind.

Wang Chen even borrowed John Chris Morgan's Maybach business car as an engagement car, and replaced one of the original rented Mercedes Benzes.

In the end, this engaged fleet became a Hongqi L5 in the lead, a Maybach business vehicle in the front, and four rented Mercedes-Benz S600s in the middle.

The convoy drove towards the city of Haitong.

After more than half an hour's drive, I came to Century City.

Lao Shen and a group of relatives waited at the gate early, and when they saw Wang Chen's motorcade coming, they immediately said loudly: "My son-in-law is here!"

His relatives were more or less discerning, and when they saw the convoy, they were in an uproar.

"Hongqi L5?"

"Maybach cars too?"

"Yo, there are four Mercedes-Benz S600s in the middle. ”

"The son-in-law of the old Shen family is awesome, an engagement convoy is so imposing, and he can't fly a helicopter when he gets married?"

"Hey, you don't want to inquire about who Lao Shen's son-in-law is, I heard that Lao Shen's son-in-law and Zhang Liang have business dealings...... Who is Zhang Liang? It's normal that you don't know each other, let me tell you...... yes, that's it!"

"Hey, it's so good that old Shen Fu has found such a good son-in-law. ”

"Envy. ”

The relatives of the old Shen family looked at Lao Shen's eyes with envy.

Wang Chen got out of the car and followed Lao Shen to call people one by one, and then walked upstairs.

Old Shen's family.

After entering, more relatives gathered.

As soon as Wang Chen entered, he saw Shen Xia, who was wearing makeup, talking to her relatives shyly.

When Shen's mother saw it, she immediately said, "My son-in-law is here!"

The whole audience looked at it.

A barrage of greetings came up.

Wang Chen dealt with them one by one with a smiling face, and then stepped forward to grab Shen Xia's hand and whispered, "Do you miss me?"

Shen Xia's face was a little thin, and she nodded, "There are too many people, let's talk slowly in private when we go back." ”

Wang Chen didn't say anything more, and watched the little aunt who acted as a matchmaker and the woman's matchmaker hand over some things.

For example, the bride price, here in Haitong, generally speaking, it will be falsely reported a little higher, for example, if it was originally sent 188,000, it will be reported as 208,000 and so on.

However, Wang Chen sent too much dowry money this time, so there was no need to hide what he had falsely reported, and the little aunt smiled and said: "Our Xiaochen, the dowry is enough to give one million and eighty-eight thousand." ”

The guests were in an uproar.

"One hundred and eighty thousand?"

"Yo, old Shen has a lot of face. ”

And then there is the dowry, needless to say what clothes and skirts, ordinary people send hardware, Wang Chen has not changed anything, but every piece of gold is the most expensive thing, for example, the ring is a twenty-carat diamond ring, hey, if it is not more than a hundred carats It is not easy to make a ring face, he wants to get a 100-carat diamond ring for Shen Xia, as well as necklaces, two rings, bracelets and the like are all priceless.

The relatives of Shen Xia's family looked straight.

At this moment, they finally knew that Lao Shen had found a son-in-law who was so awesome, young and golden, and it was said that he was still very powerful, and he couldn't find such a good son-in-law with a lantern.

Many relatives of Shen Xia's family saw Wang Chen for the first time, but they were still conquered by his wealth, and it should be like this when looking for a son-in-law.

Well, Haitong's engagement gift and dowry were raised by Wang Chen alone, and if it is spread, I am afraid that many unmarried young people will hate him to death.
