"Chong'er, Li Qingyou, the head of the forbidden army in the palace, has come to me, and he wants to buy your Uzi steel sword!"
At the first glance of Wang Chong, Wang Qian immediately got straight to the point.
"What ?!!"
Wang Chong had just stepped into the hall on his front feet, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and the whole person was stunned, and then an indescribable ecstasy swept over like a surging wave, drowning Wang Chong entirely.
Li Qingyou!
Hearing this name, Wang Chong knew that what he was looking forward to the most was born-
Imperial Court Procurement!
Even without the help of the memories of his previous life, Wang Chongtian knows deeply what this name means. In Datang, Li Qing's name is only associated with one thing, and that is procurement.
Whether it is the sword-casting families of Zhang, Lu, Huang, and Cheng in the capital, or the sword towers and sword shops in the capital, once it comes to the procurement in the forbidden army, the military affairs director named Li Qingyou is personally responsible.
Wang Chong has heard this point from the head of the Zhang family several times.
However, for Wang Chong, the name also has a special meaning that only he knows.
-- It was this imperial military administrator, Li Qingyou, who led the largest Uzi steel procurement case in the history of the entire Middle-earth in his previous life.
Although the procurement case failed for various reasons, it will forever be remembered in history.
In terms of time, it would normally be a year or two before such a thing happens. Wang Chong is not surprised that this matter will be born in advance.
The only thing he didn't expect was that it would come so quickly.
He sent a message to the Zhang family in the capital two days ago, making an exception for them to expand from a few Uzi steel swords a month to thirty, with the purpose of expanding their influence in the forbidden army.
And the ultimate goal is to go to Li Qingyou, the military officer of the forbidden army who is in charge of ordnance procurement in the palace.
As long as the military officer who had an important position in the forbidden army could see his Uzi steel weapon with his own eyes, Wang Chong believed that he would definitely win his favor.
If it weren't for his special love for Uzi steel weapons, Li Qingyou would not have spent so much energy and cost to persuade the imperial court to purchase Uzi steel.
It's just that Wang Chong didn't expect that Li Qingyou's actions would be so fast. It was only two days ago that he had already started to act, and found his uncle Wang Gan.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect it, this is really an unexpected joy!"
Wang Chong clenched his fists fiercely, and his heart was extremely excited.
Uzi steel is very valuable and can bring a lot of profits. But there are limits to this kind of profit. Although Wang Chong sold 200,000 taels of gold to the commanders of the forbidden army, for ordinary people, this is something that they dare not resemble in their lives.
But this weapon can only be sold for one a month. And it doesn't necessarily happen in the future.
Two million taels of gold Wang Chong basically took a year to earn, and now Wang Chong lacks time the most.
There's nothing faster than selling it to the imperial court for money!
Not everyone can buy a weapon for 2o thousand taels of gold like the commander of the forbidden army, but the imperial court is different, and the potential of the imperial court is almost unlimited.
In Wang Chong's plan, the best seller of ore in Hyderabad is the imperial court!
It's just that this time must be mastered. It's too early, Uzi Steel is penniless, and the imperial court may not necessarily buy it, and it can't afford to sell it at a price.
And now's the best time!
"Prince Wang, be polite. β
Under the guidance of the uncle Wang Gan, in the "Qunyu Restaurant" in the west of the city, Wang Chong met the famous military director Li Qingyou.
"Lord Li is polite. β
Wang Chong said with a smile, and as he spoke, he sat down opposite Li Qingyou, his expression was downcast and generous.
Li Qingyou, the head of military affairs, is definitely a dragon in Datang.
His range of activities is basically in the palace, and his actions are extremely low-key, even if he goes to those sword-forging families to take it, he comes and goes in a hurry, and often there is no time for a pillar of incense.
Although Wang Chong has admired his name for a long time, it is the first time he has met him in his life.
"Lord Wang should have already told you, right?"
Li Qingyou's style of acting is quite straightforward, as soon as he sat down, he immediately got straight to the point, and explained his intentions:
"The imperial court wants to purchase a thousand Uzi steel weapons from Gongzi!"
"Hehe, even if Master Li is so refreshing, then I'll say it directly, - I can't do a thousand Uzi steel weapons!"
Wang Chong spread his hands and said with a smile.
"Oh, why? Is it because the price is too low?"
A light flashed in Li Qingyou's eyes, and he was not surprised:
"With all due respect, it is impossible for the imperial court to purchase exactly the same as the prince to sell outside. Twenty thousand taels of gold is not low. β
Indeed, with the Uzi steel weapon market that Wang Chong is now in his hands, the price of a weapon of 20,000 taels is indeed very low. However, the market for imperial court procurement has always been like this.
"Hahaha, Master Li misunderstood. β
Wang Chong laughed:
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't sell it at all. β
"Oh, why?"
"Because I only have a hundred ingots of Uzi steel in total. β
Wang Chong laughed.
With Aloka and Arroyo, Wang Chong only got a total of 300 jun. Li Qing has a thousand ingots here, where does he have so many?
No matter how high Li Qingyou's price is, he can't take it out.
However, Wang Chong asked Li Qingyou to come over, not to talk about this.
"Hehe, with all due respect, the reason why Lord Li wants these Uzi steel weapons is because he wants to form an army of Uzi steel weapons, right? However, is a thousand weapons really enough?"
Wang Chong said with a smile.
The Tang people are really very smart, and Zhao Fengchen, the commander of the forbidden army, has mentioned to him more than once what would happen if he could form an army with Uzi steel weapons.
Now Li Qingyou has the same procurement.
Almost at first sight, these people realized the military value contained in the sharpness of the Uzi steel.
And the big cannibals of the future are doing just that.
Anyone who sees a Uzi steel weapon is almost immediately aware of the enormous military utility it contains.
"This ......"
Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment. He just thought about purchasing a batch of weapons to try in the forbidden army first, but he really didn't think about it.
"Hehe, Lord Li, if you want to form an army with Uzi steel weapons, a thousand people is definitely not enough. Moreover, the price of 20,000 taels of gold is indeed a bit low. However, if the adults can pay me in advance for the cost of eight million taels of gold, maybe I can find a way to get a weapon for the adults to equip an army of 10,000 people within five years, and even if it is the price of the Uzi steel weapon, I can give the adults some discounts, reducing it to eighteen thousand taels. β
Wang Chong said.
On the side, Wang Chong's uncle frowned slightly. But Li Qingyou's eyes lit up, Wang Chong's 10,000 Uzi steel weapons were still second, but Wang Chong's 18,000 taels of gold attracted his attention.
"Is eight million taels of gold enough?"
Li Qing has a way.
An ordinary sentence, but it fell in the Qunyu Restaurant, but it was loud and domineering, and even Wang Chong couldn't help but look sideways.
"It's really rich!"
Wang Chong sighed in his heart.
This is the difference between the head of the palace military affairs and the ordinary family.
Eight million taels of gold is also a huge, unbearable amount for the families in the capital.
But for the military affairs chief of the palace forbidden army, who often makes large purchases, it is really a drizzle.
As the military affairs manager of the forbidden army, Li Qingyou relies on the entire Tang Dynasty behind him.
That's the difference between weight classes.
Wang Chongyue felt that his plan and rules were correct.
Li Qingyou almost reached an agreement with Wang Chong as quickly as possible, and took the opportunity to ask Wang Chong to write down the content of his promise on the paper.
There is no evidence for empty words, and documents are letters.
Li Qingyou is almost used to being the chief military officer.
"Chong'er, why do you want to promise him, won't we lose too much in this way?"
Coming out of the Qunyu Restaurant, Wang Chong's uncle Wang Qian finally couldn't help but say. The current Wang family is both prosperous and loss-oriented.
Although it was Wang Chong who suffered, Wang Gen would never think that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Hehe, uncle, everyone is coming to the door. Do you think we can still say no?"
Wang Chong said with a smile.
"This ......"
Wang was stunned. If it was Li Qingyou, he didn't have to care at all, just refuse directly. But Wang Gen knew in his heart that it was the Holy Emperor who was standing behind Li Qingyou.
This is also the reason why Wang Gen was in the restaurant and did not say a word during the whole process.
"Hehe, uncle, don't worry. We don't suffer at all about this!"
Wang Chong smiled and comforted.
He knew what the uncle was struggling with, Li Qingyou found the whole uncle Wang Gan, instead of looking for himself directly, or Li Lin, the eldest uncle in the forbidden army, just wanted to suppress his own price.
Uncle is entangled in this precisely because.
But Wang Chong is different, he has a very open view of this matter.
"Five years! Who knows what will happen in five years?"
Wang Chong said the words that only he could hear, and he sighed with emotion in his heart.
With 10,000 weapons in five years, even Li Qingyou probably didn't realize what the deal he had just reached with himself meant.
Five years can give birth to too many changes.
If he hadn't had that catastrophe within five years, if he was still alive five years later, maybe he would have completed the deal with Li Qingyou......
Shaking his head, Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses.
"Eight million taels of gold, the Lion City in Jiannan will cost at least three million to five million taels of gold, and the rest can be used to execute my next plan. β
Bidding farewell to his eldest uncle Wang Gan, looking at the clouds in the sky, Wang Chong's heart also rose and fell.
The Lion City in Jiannan is a bottomless pit. Before himself, Datang had never built a city privately. In terms of one person's ability, this is still too much work.
But in Wang Chong's mind, Lion City is by far the most important thing to him. No matter how much it costs, he has to carry it on.
This is also the reason why he must ask the military director of the palace forbidden army for a batch of several million advance payments. All kinds of barriers, defenses, as well as food reserves, and even weapons repair......
There's so much involved.
Five million taels of gold may not be enough!
However, if such a sum of money is smashed, it should almost be able to achieve the effect you want. Next, it's time for another thing.
That matter is also urgent!
