The American cowboy's current international status is not high, and it can only be compared with the second-rate countries in Europe, and the American Civil War: Not long after the end of the Civil War, he is licking his wounds in his hometown. Oh, by the way, thinking of this, Young Master Liang's eyes lit up, the Americans must have produced a lot of weapons and munitions after four years of fierce war. You must know that war is the greatest driving force for military production. The United States must have a large amount of arms in store now, and the storage of arms still needs to be maintained, and if it is stored for too long, it will be eliminated because of backwardness, so the Americans must be willing to sell these weapons, and they can also return some of the funds.

In the manager's office of Qichang Foreign Bank, Anderson, the manager of the foreign bank, heard that this customer was going to buy arms, and he was immediately as full of power as an alarm clock clock. The Americans are more coarse, not as stinky as the British, they are more practical, as long as they can make a profit, even if the customer is a cripple, as long as the money in hand is real money. What's more, this customer is a young proprietor of Tianbao and can speak fluent English. This era is not as much trade restricted as the United States in the previous life, and the current capitalists dare to sell anything for the sake of profit, and they can't stop it. If anyone gets in the way of the capitalists' finances, even if it is the president of the United States, they dare to assassinate, this is the cowboy spirit! If you don't agree with each other, pull out your gun!

"Dear Ronnie, I wonder how many arms you need? Our Qichang Foreign Company is a big ocean company, and we are not very interested in ordinary small businesses", Anderson's tone was intimate, and he also used the method of agitation, he was a veteran.

Young Master Liang couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, why did he suddenly feel like a little white rabbit being fooled.

Liang Sihan decided not to go around in circles with the Americans: "Mr. Anderson, I want 10,000 rifles, 10 Gatling guns, 36 12-pounder guns, 24 24-pounder guns, 12 32-pounder guns, 2 million rifle bullets, 100,000 machine gun bullets, and 100 shells for each gun. If the quality and price of your arms are satisfactory, the next order will be ten times the quantity. I hope you don't be as greedy as the British. ”

Anderson's eyes became brighter, it seemed that this Tianbao was acting as a middleman for the Qing government, and he actually needed so many arms, such a big customer could not let him slip away. Of course he understood what Young Master Liang said, which means that he will give me nothing, if you are not sincere, I will immediately raise my legs and leave.

Anderson said with a smile on his face: "Sir, we have samples in the warehouse of our foreign firm, I will take you to see the samples first." It seems that this Qichang foreign company is really engaged in the arms business, and the warehouse is stocked.

The group went to the warehouse to look at the samples, Liang Qiang and Liang Zhuang didn't know that the young master was here to buy guns, and his eyes were straight, nervous and exciting. Young Master Liang frowned at the bulky and rough American weapons, fiddled with the rifle and machine gun a few times, checked the cannon steel and bolt, and looked at the quality of the bullets and shells. The so-called experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move, and these actions of him, a military expert in his previous life, will immediately understand that he has encountered an expert in Anderson's eyes. This Anderson was originally going to watch the joke, thinking that you, a child of the Qing Dynasty, know how to understand the quality of arms, but now his experience tells him that the other party is a real person who knows how to do it. This shocked him.

So Anderson, who returned to the manager's office, quoted a Jewish conscience price: "Five taels of silver for a rifle with fifty rounds of ammunition, four hundred taels of silver for a machine gun with a thousand rounds of ammunition, five hundred taels for a twelve-pound gun with ten shells, a twenty-four-pounder gun with seven hundred taels for ten shells, a thirty-two-pounder gun with a thousand taels for ten shells." After speaking, Anderson looked at Master Liang with a look of pain.

Young Master Liang will not be fooled, "The rifle will not be lowered, but the ammunition will be 100 rounds, 300 taels of machine guns and 2,000 rounds of ammunition, 300 taels of 12-pounder guns and 20 rounds of ammunition, 20 rounds of 500 taels of 24-pounder guns, 700 taels of 20 rounds of 32-pounder guns, and additional ammunition will be charged separately."

Anderson listened to the price quoted by Young Master Liang, and his heart twitched, this price is close to the low price, and he can't make any money. But he also knows that the domestic warehouses are full of munitions, and this big fish must not be allowed to run away, and it is a big deal to find those domestic manufacturers to reduce prices, believing that they would rather reduce prices than rot those arms in the warehouses.

So Anderson said pitifully: "Can you add a little more, just add a little more and we'll make a deal."

Liang Sihan thought to himself that this American devil was cunning and cunning, and now he pretended to be pitiful and played the sympathy card again, he smiled and said: "Mr. Anderson, as long as you guarantee the quality and deliver it on time, I will pay you a commission, I believe it will satisfy you", after looking at Anderson's expression, he said: "We still have a business to do."

Anderson immediately said, "Command, please."

"If you can find some instructors of machine guns and artillery, as long as they are the most junior officers or sergeants, I will pay you an introduction fee of 100 taels to 200 taels each, depending on the ability of these instructors, as well as instructors of engineers and signal troops."

"And how do you calculate the remuneration of these instructors"?

"I'll pay them twice as much as they would in the U.S., and if they do well in their work, they'll get an extra bonus, and I'll cover their travel expenses."

Anderson thought to himself that this thing could be done, the United States had just finished a war, there were a large number of retired soldiers, many pure soldiers lacked the skills to make a living, and the introducer did not need any cost, and he could get at least 10,000 taels of referral fees for pulling a hundred people over, which was really a good business. His pitiful face just now immediately filled with a smile: "As you wish, as long as you sign the contract and pay the deposit, we will definitely deliver the arms on time with quality and quantity." I will try my best to contact you with the instructor, and I believe that there will be many people who are willing to serve you."

"Tomorrow I will arrange someone to come to you to sign a contract and pay a deposit, as for the commission and referral fee, it is my personal commitment, and it will definitely satisfy you."

Anderson is also an old man and knows the rules, not to mention that he doesn't want commissions and referral fees to be reflected in the contract, which is his personal income. So the two sides said goodbye amicably and reluctantly broke up.

Anderson is satisfied, Young Master Liang has a headache, he still has to go back to do the old man's work, this time he will cut first and then play, not to mention that he still buys guns and cannons, I hope he will not scare the old man, Amitabha, sin and sin······
