Knock, knock, knock. ”

In Li Chen's study in Lijiazhuang, Li Chen was knocking on the handle of the chair like the first emperor, and Chen Ping and Xiao He were waiting in the study.

The flickering light shone on Li Chen's contemplative face, and after a long time, Li Chen slowly raised his head and said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a country called the Snake Country, although this Snake Country had a large population, it was actually not a strong country. But the snake country is dreaming of the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in the earth. The most powerful weapon in the world is a large ship called an aircraft carrier, and the snake country dreams of its own aircraft carrier all day long. Although this dream seems to others to be a joke, after all, anyone with a dream is amazing. Although the economy of the White Bear Country next door is becoming more and more depressed, its military strength is very strong, and it just so happens that at this time, an aircraft carrier of the White Bear Country is broken, and with the current economic strength of the White Bear Country, it is no longer possible to repair the aircraft carrier with silver, so it naturally hit the idea on the stupid son of the landlord's family, the Snake Country. ”

"The White Bear Country asked for 700,000 taels of silver, and the Snake Country was only willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver. The matter was stalemate for a while, but the next day the representative of the White Bear Country came, and this time the representative of the White Bear Country said, we don't want the silver, we will give it to you directly. But you see, now that the ship is broken, you can't drive away, so let's do it, we are responsible for repairing it for you, and then we will give you a complete set of supporting settings, of which we only charge a cost price. ”

When the snake country heard this, it was overjoyed. Who knew that the White Bear Kingdom would pull out this offer singlely, a full 1.5 million taels of silver. The representative of the snake country looked at this price, although he felt that it was higher than he imagined, but when he thought that his own technology was not as good as the white bear country, and the supporting settings were not as good as the white bear country, the price should be higher, after all, this price is not unacceptable. So the two families signed a contract, and then agreed on a date to pick up the ship. ”

"The days passed day by day, and when the appointed date came to pick up the boat, the people of the Snake Country went to the dock of the White Bear Country to take a look. At this glance, the people of the snake country were dumbfounded. The ship is still parked in the original place, what is a thousand is still what it is now, it has not been repaired at all. At this time, the people of the White Bear Country spoke, it's not that we don't give repairs, it's that the money you gave before was not enough. Now if you want to pick up the boat, you have to add money. When the representative of the snake country heard this, he didn't buy it and returned the money. The place where the money is paid is separated from here, and the place where the money is returned is in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is there, and the representatives of this snake country don't know, and they don't dare to ask. In short, I just want to return the money, not to mention the door, the windows are gone. When the people of the snake country heard this, this is not good, the money has been paid so much, and now if you don't buy it, there is no place to buy it, under this fucking rounding, isn't it a loss of two aircraft carriers. There was no way, and after bargaining, another two million taels of silver were added. ”

"In the middle, the people of the White Bear Country are asking the people of the Snake Country to add money for various reasons, if you don't add money, we won't repair the boat, and the money paid before will not be refunded, there is no way for the Snake Country to be stuck in the throat of the White Bear Country, and you can only reluctantly pay for it again and again. In a blink of an eye, he was looking at the White Bear Country, taking the money of the Snake Country to research high-end ordnance, changing the clothes of his army, and then pounding the things he changed into this big ship. The snake country picked up the boat here and thought that he had bought some high-end technology, and shouted that he was the best in the world all day long. ”

Chen Ping and Xiao He reminisced about the story told by Li Chen, and the scenes in this story were also applicable to the current Great Qin and the Xiongnu. The Huns spent a lot of money to buy Great Qin's ordnance, thinking that their strength had increased a lot. But in fact, in the eyes of Daqin, they are the stupid sons of the landlord's family, Daqin took their silver to update the equipment of the soldiers, and then sold the eliminated equipment to them.

After a long pause, Xiao He raised his head and said, "Master Hou, the people on the grassland have taken away a lot of craftsmen from our Great Qin before. For tribes that can't come up with money, we can let them trade with craftsmen, and it doesn't hurt that the price of this craftsman is increased several times. ”

"Tell me?" Li Chen said.

"Although the craftsmen on the grassland are not very good at craftsmanship, they should still have the skills to repair weapons. If we bring these craftsmen back, then the steppe people will have no means to repair their weapons. These weapons are all going to be lost, and when these weapons are lost, we are arranging some caravans to recover second-hand weapons, and then repair them a little before selling them to the grassland, so that this business can be described as a business without capital. Xiao He twisted his beard and said.

"Can this be done?" Li Chen asked with some hesitation. The people on this grassland are not all fools, and the importance of craftsmen to the grassland must be seen by someone.

"Master Hou, the reason why the grassland aliens value craftsmen is because craftsmen can help them cast weapons. But now that they can easily buy better weapons from Daqin, then craftsmen are naturally not so important to them. Xiao He said in a flat tone.

"Recycling of second-hand swords, polishing and waxing of shields, painting of professional vehicles, repairs, cleaning of interiors, ......"

Li Chen instantly had a sense of picture in his mind, and after thinking about it carefully, what Xiao He said seemed to make sense.

This eyesight, this brain, is not a loss is the leader of this era, this model can be much more reliable than the previous life Jia Accountant's ecological circle theory, this is Xiao He's arms perpetual motion machine theory.

"All transactions must be handled by us, and we will tentatively charge a transportation fee of 5% of the value of the item. With such a large-scale arms trade, it must be ensured that there cannot be a sword and an arrow to be used in the territory of Great Qin. Li Chen thought about it and added categorically.

Great Qin has a million soldiers, and the equipment that has been replaced is even more massive. For Daqin, these equipment are just a pity that they are tasteless and discarded, and they need to spend a lot of military expenses every year to keep and repair, but since the replacement of steel equipment, these bronze ordnance are really useless. As an arms dealer appointed by the First Emperor, Li Chen's task now is to sell these second-hand ordnance in the most favorable circumstances for Great Qin.

"Master Hou, it's better to bid for it." Xiao He thought for a while and said.

Since the bidding for infrastructure such as schools and cement roads in Daqin began a few years ago, the bidding seems to have been used in large-scale transactions in all walks of life in Daqin. The bidder does not need to find a buyer by himself, as long as he has enough name, someone will naturally come to bid. Ordnance is an eye-catching business, and it can naturally attract countless people to come to bid.

Open bidding for the sale of ordnance is really a crazy idea, you must know that this ordnance business is rarely put on the surface. However, this is also the first part of Great Qin to make a fortune with armaments, and it just so happens that selling armaments is also the most effective way to enhance national strength.

You don't see that the Bald Eagle Country in his previous life became the world's number one by selling arms, and the whole world took his family's arms to fight to death, and when the time came, everyone was disabled, and he, an arms dealer, became the world's number one power.

What Li Chen has to do is to let the tribes on the grassland fight to the death with Daqin's armament, while Daqin is making a lot of money. Under the rise and fall, the gap between the two sides will become bigger and bigger, and when the power on the grassland is consumed below a critical point, it is the first step for Daqin to take the grassland in one fell swoop and take the world down.
