Chapter 151: The Prussian Business (Part II)

Thanks to the nest cow swift, Hu Barui is a big reward!

Richie. Karenway immediately resumed his essence as a merchant and introduced the Prussian weapons to the distinguished guest in a gushing manner: "Your Highness, it just so happens that I have brought three hundred Dresser M1841 muskets from the Shomen this time. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the latest new weapon developed by Prussia, and even European countries have not yet obtained it. ”

However, he knew in his heart that these Dresser pistols had been a high-level secret of the Prussian army until 1848, when the secret of the Dresser pistol was revealed. However, many people, including one of his distant relatives, a high-powered general, did not like this so-called advanced rear-loading gun.

The general even said: "It is noble to eat with your mouth, and should we Prussians be so humble as to shoot with a 'tank gun' loaded from the tail?" I hate the Dresser pistol. ”

The general refused to use the lined Dresser pistol in his unit, and still used the front-loading musket. That's what made Ricky. Karenway had the opportunity to stealthily obtain three hundred Drassay pistols from the quartermaster. With the attitude of trying it out, together with other goods, it was shipped to the door.

"Dresser rifle?" The Holy King exclaimed! However, he immediately disguised himself, and pretended to be calm: "Mr. Cullenway, if the price of your 300-shot Dresser M1841 pin musket is favorable, I will ask for it all." ”

"Oh! Thank you so much, God! Your Highness! I'll give you the lowest price of 30 silver dollars a shot! "Ricky. Kalunwei immediately shouted with joy: "I promise to sell it to you at the best price!" Also, I see that you and your servicemen, it seems, do not have a unified uniform? How can this be done, and how can it show the demeanor of your army? I happen to have a large number of high-quality and inexpensive cloths, I wonder if the Holy King is interested in buying them and making uniform uniforms? ”

"You're so good at business!" The Holy King praised, "My army really needs a lot of cloth to make military uniforms!" However, I don't want to buy cloth directly, but there is a business related to cloth, if you are interested, you can come to the Nanyang company's bidding meeting tomorrow after the opening ceremony of Nanyang Company! ”

After the Holy King finished speaking, he looked at the goods in the foreign bank with great interest, and then turned back to Ricky. Karenway said, "Mr. Karenway, apart from the 300-shot Dryser M1841 rifle, are there any other weapons?" You know, I'm interested in Prussian weapons. ”

"Okay. Your Highness, although I have not brought any weapons other than those three hundred rifles this time, this does not prevent me from introducing you to our Prussian weapons. The Prussian front-loading smoothbore cast iron artillery was very good. "Ricky. Karen Wei introduced.

"Well, Prussia doesn't have a front-loading rifled cast steel gun yet?" The Holy King asked curiously.

"Rifled guns? Holy King, the whole of Europe is still groping for the actual combat application of rifled guns, and has not yet been able to develop them. "Ricky. Karenway replied.

"So be it. For the sake of our friendship, Mr. Karenway, let me order some Prussian guns and weapons from your foreign firm. The yellow-robed Saint King smiled slightly, as if he remembered something.

He continued: "There are 10,000 Dresai M1841 needle-starting muskets, and 300 300 front-loading smoothbore guns with a 30-pound framed retreat. The price can be given to the fairest! ”

What the? 10,000 shots of muskets! Three hundred guns of thirty pounds! Richie. Karen Wei wondered if he had heard it wrong.

What a big order!? If you win this huge order, that profit, even if you only make 12 silver dollars per gun, you will have a profit of 120,000 silver dollars. Plus 300 artillery pieces, you can earn almost 200,000 silver dollars. Richie. Karenwei's heart suddenly became hot!

However, after thinking about it, he was distressed: "Your Royal Highness, that ....... Dresel M1841 pistol, the entire Prussia produces less than 30,000 guns a year, and it is basically purchased by the Prussian army. This, this ..... I'm afraid..."

"The price is negotiable! In addition to muskets, matching Lei 1 mercury, copper caps and paper-wrapped custom bullets can also be purchased. The seemingly kind Saint King ruthlessly interrupted Ricky. Karenway's complaints, tempting him with the price, kicked the problem back.

"Alright! If His Highness the Holy King can give me ....45, no, 50 silver dollars a stroke, I think I should be able to get 10,000 strokes. "Ricky. Karenway hesitated to state his conditions.

"It's just 40 silver dollars a stroke! The faster the delivery, the better! The king can give you some deposit, but it must be secured by your foreign bank. When will you expect to be delivered? ”

"Your Highness the Holy King, it will take about nine to ten months! I commissioned the fastest clippers to deliver the goods, but as you know, it wasn't easy to get that many muskets in Prussia, and it took a long time to unblock the big men of the kingdoms. "Ricky. Karenway replied, and then said without giving up, "In terms of price, it must be 50 silver dollars a stroke!" ”

"Mr. Karenway, this king's silver dollar was not blown by the wind, but by my sergeants in exchange for their lives!" In Ricky. Karenway seemed to the Holy King to be a little cold and cruel: "And, as far as I know, other countries do not like the rear-loading rifle of the Dresser, which the Prussian army has secretly assembled for more than ten years, and it has long been fully assembled. ”

"Moreover, the Dresser rifle has a big drawback, when firing, the gunpowder gas leaks from the back of the chamber, and the high temperature gas hurts the soldiers, the Tebi is an early model, and if the face is too forward, it will even be burned beyond recognition!" The Holy King tore Ricky apart mercilessly. Karenway's seemingly plausible lie continued: "If I'm not mistaken, what Mr. Karenway wants to sell to this king are all early models that have been eliminated by your government army, right? ”

“…… Your Highness, I ...... You...... Or 45 silver dollars? ”

"Just 40 silver dollars!"

"Well, Your Highness the Holy King, you are better at trading than a merchant!"

"Dear Mr. Karenway, congratulations on becoming a friend of the Holy Kingdom! I hope it arrives sooner, and this king will give you a reward. The originally cold Saint King had become smiling at this moment, and he turned his head to one of his retinues and said, "Ji Gao, the deposit of the 10,000 Dryser rifles you should pay, as well as the cost of the 300 rifles, will be sent to Mr. Karenwei earlier." By the way, take the three hundred muskets. ”

After speaking, he led everyone out of the foreign bank.

Send away the Holy King and the others, Ricky. Karenway is still in a dream! He pinched himself hard, it hurt! I called the Indian servants from the backyard and sniffed their left hand, it stinks! This time I dare to believe that it is really not a dream.

I really made a huge business, plus the freight of each musket, as long as 13~14 silver dollars, even if I add 10,000 silver dollars up and down the dot fee, I can make a net profit of 150,000 yuan.

You can make so much money in a single musket business, and if you add artillery and ammunition accessories, this business will bring you at least 200,000 yuan in profits! That's a lot of money!

Richie. It took a while for Karenway to calm down from his ecstasy. Gotta contact the source immediately!

No, this business is too important! I'll have to go back to Prussia myself! After all, he was not only a businessman, but also the consul of the Kingdom of Prussia in Guangzhou. This matter has to be reported to the above.

This time he opened the door to the Far Eastern market, which is a very important achievement, and if he reports it, the kingdom will definitely support him.

Thinking of this, Ricky. Kalunway was excited! If he hadn't attended the opening ceremony of the Nanyang Company and the cloth bidding meeting mentioned by the Holy King tomorrow, he would have been eager to return to Prussia immediately!
