Chapter 14: Happy Cooperation
"Oh, these gold and silver jewels can indeed buy a lot of weapons, I don't know what Little Brother Huang wants to buy? Our background is the French government, and we can get ordinary guns and ammunition as long as they are now finalized and mass-produced. "Firmman felt that this was a big business, so Huang Zhongting understood his background strength and won the order.
Huang Zhongting said without thinking: "Rifles, machine guns, mountain artillery and a production line of rifles and bullets. ”
At present, what is most lacking is guns and ammunition, and mountain artillery is also the top priority as an irreplaceable weapon of mass destruction in this era, as for building a production line of rifles and bullets, Huang Zhongting also casually mentioned that this thing is not a few million silver dollars smashed into it, don't even think about it.
Even if a few million silver dollars are thrown in, there is no guarantee that it will be mass-produced immediately, and there will be no obvious improvement in the current situation of the revolutionary army.
But first of all, I want to mention that the arsenal is definitely going to be done, and it is not realistic to buy a large number of weapons in the later stage.
Among them, bullets are important consumables, and a gun without bullets is a burning stick, and it doesn't necessarily hurt to hit people. He can't ask his men to smash people with rifles, which would not be as useful as the ancient broadsword and spear.
Firmman was a little surprised, Huang Zhongting wanted to buy some weapons and ammunition, he thought of it, he didn't expect to build an arsenal, but he wanted to build an arsenal that required a lot of silver dollars, just sell the machine behind some of the money, just have a set of obsolete bullet-making equipment in his hand, this time he went north and originally planned to sell it to the Yunnan Governor's Mansion, but the group of fools had no money, and they wanted to empty gloves and white wolves, and they didn't negotiate.
Wu Ruolan saw Firmman's eyes keep rolling up and down, and she knew that he wanted to slaughter Huang Zhongting ruthlessly, they were all businessmen, and she knew all these thoughts.
Wu Ruolan said a little playfully: "Uncle Firmman, Brother Zhongting saved my life, you can do it, give me a face, how about making it convenient for Brother Zhongting?" Later, when I go back and think about the cooperation between us about Wu's Pharmaceutical? ”
Firmman suddenly looked at Wu Ruolan with some surprise, he didn't expect Huang Zhongting's position in Wu Ruolan's heart to be so important, Wu's Pharmaceutical is the largest gold sore medicine manufacturer in Vietnam.
What is gold sore medicine, which can stop bleeding, relieve pain, prevent wound suppuration and other good medicine for the treatment of many external injuries.
The exclusive secret recipe of Wu's gold sore medicine is monopolized and sold, and outsiders can't get involved at all, and they can't participate in it even though they colonize Vietnam.
For the army, it is a life-saving medicine, and even their French military needs to spend a lot of money to procure it.
If you can get some of Wu's gold sore medicine sales agency rights, then it will not be as simple as hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, and promotion and salary increase are all trivial matters, and your influence and voice will also be greatly improved, just thinking about it is very exciting.
Firmman suppressed his excited little mood and said lightly: "Okay, since Miss Ruolan has spoken, it is not a problem for Little Brother Huang to buy these things, I will briefly say what I can sell, rifles Our company still has a stock of 1000 Mauser 1889 models produced in Belgium in Lao Cai, which is basically brand new, and a rifle with 100 rounds of ammunition is priced at 100 silver dollars." ”
"There are no other types of rifles, machine guns and mountain artillery in Laojie, and they need to be transported from other places, and the most popular heavy machine gun on the market is the German-made MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun, with a unit price of 1,000 silver dollars, each with 20,000 rounds of ammunition; There are many types of light machine guns, but I recommend the Danish Madsen light machine gun, which has better performance, with a unit price of 500 silver dollars and 10,000 rounds of ammunition each; As for the mountain guns, I recommend the German Krupp 75mm mountain guns, each with a unit price of 5,000 silver dollars and 200 shells. That's it, the price is about the same as the market price, if you need other types, you can also tell me, I will try my best to get it, and if I can't get it, there is no way, as for our French standard equipment, it needs military authorization, and I can't get it in the short term. ”
Firmman looked at the large box at the intersection in front of him again and continued: "I have estimated the value of these treasures, and it is about 900,000 silver dollars, how about 900,000 silver dollars?" ”
Huang Zhongting was also a little surprised, as a history teacher in his previous life, he also knew something about the weapons and equipment during the First World War, and originally thought that this Firman would definitely ask for a sky-high price, but it may be that Wu Ruolan changed his attitude with a few words.
I couldn't help but enhance the status of Wu Ruolan, a beautiful little rich woman, and said to myself: "I must have a good relationship with this little rich woman, if I can push her down, it would be good if I could overthrow her, so beautiful and so rich......" Thinking about it, I thought crookedly.
"What do you think, I don't know if I can stay with my life!" Huang Zhongting immediately stopped his obscenity, shook his head, and asked Li Desheng to call Huang Zhongyuan over, carefully total, and see how much he bought.
These gold and silver treasures were worth 900,000 silver dollars, which Huang Zhongting didn't expect, he originally thought that it was impossible to be worth so much.
Finally, a purchase list was determined: 1,000 Mauser 1889 rifles, 20 Madsen light machine guns, 5 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 5 Krupp mountain guns, which cost a total of 140,000 silver dollars.
There are not many of them, and Huang Zhongting also takes into account that there are not many soldiers under his command now, so thousands of people buy so many weapons and put them in the warehouse to rust? It's better to buy less.
"The purchased weapons will be troubled by Mr. Firmman to help us raise them as soon as possible according to the list and send them over, as for the remaining 760,000 silver dollars, I wonder if I can trouble Mr. Fillman to help me build a production line for rifles and bullets?" Huang Zhongting said fortunately, if you have a weapon, I want to make a weapon.
Firmman immediately regained his arrogant posture: "Little Brother Huang, you don't have to think about a rifle production line, you can't buy it if you double it with your belongings, but the bullet production line can still be considered, I just have a set of equipment in my hand, so I will sell Miss Wu a face, and sell the remaining 760,000 silver dollars to you, I can also send you a few technicians to help you debug and run the equipment, and then send you some raw materials to make bullets?" ”
Huang Zhongting was a little helpless, knowing that it was not so simple to build a small arsenal, so he sighed, "Okay, just according to what Mr. Firmman said, it is troublesome for Mr. Fillman to send these equipment over as soon as possible, and we can cooperate again later." ”
"No problem, I'll have someone send the 1,000 rifles and ammunition equipment when I go back, and it will take about three or five days to deliver, but the machine guns and mountain guns need to be transported from other places, and it will take more than ten days." Firmman said cheerfully.
"Yes, Mr. Firmman, happy cooperation!" After finalizing these things, Huang Zhongting was also a little happy, and when the new equipment arrived, the combat effectiveness of his small army could be greatly improved.
Looking at Huang Zhongting's happy appearance, Wu Ruolan was also very happy in her heart, but she was a little disappointed when she thought that she was going back to Vietnam soon, and it seemed that she would have to move the family property to the estuary after she went back, otherwise she would not have the opportunity to see Brother Zhongting again in the future.
