Young Master Liang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mauser, this bullet is my latest research achievement, and I don't plan to transfer technology patents and production technology yet."

Little Mauser immediately fell into confusion, what should I do? If you have a gun but no bullets, do you want to tell your buddy to empty the gun? There is a Prussian proverb: If there is smoke but no fire, the world is the first bitter; If you have a gun and no bullets, you will get out of the way when you see a girl (the above is pure peanut bullshit). The real situation is that Xiao Mauser is a firearms designer and a businessman, and he immediately understood that the other party was going to raise the price, so he did not respond to Master Liang's words, but just made a pitiful appearance and waited for the other party to bid.

Young Master Liang didn't talk nonsense anymore, and immediately opened his mouth: "Mr. Mauser, I will not transfer the technology of bullets for at least two years, if necessary, you can buy it from me, and I guarantee that it will be supplied in time."

Little Mauser's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked, "What about the specific price?" How do I transfer it after two years? ”

"The cost of this bullet is very high, the shell is brass, and the cost of the primer is higher, so the current supply price is five bullets and one tael of silver" Young Master Liang bid unhurriedly.

"What? Ronnie! The price is too high! You must know that bullets are consumables, and they are used in large quantities, and this price is not acceptable to any customer," Mauser Jr. shouted and pretended to object.

Young Master Liang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "There is no way, the cost is too high." Exclusive business, no other sellers, who will you slaughter if you don't slaughter?

Little Mauser suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, one tael of silver can only buy five bullets, and 10 million bullets cost two million taels of silver, this is a robbery of money. He didn't dare to call the shots with such a high amount of money, after all, the Mauser company was only a supplier of weapons, and the Prussian government army was the last to pay, even if the price was expensive, it didn't need to be borne by the Mauser company, and if the government army accepted the price, it didn't matter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mauser's face eased and continued to ask the question just now: "You haven't said the conditions for the transfer in two years."

"Oh, well, in fact, I don't really want to transfer it, but now I have encountered a difficulty, if you can help me with this, I can consider transferring the technology to you in two years" Young Master Liang is still deliberately pinching it.

"Well, we're friends who work together sincerely (who's to say it's not), if there's anything I can help with, I'll do my best" Both sides are mall veterans, who wouldn't.

Young Master Liang straightened his body and said seriously: "That's the case, I am going to build a university of science and technology in Guangzhou, but teachers are too difficult to find, and there are still many vacancies, I don't know if you can help me with this?" ”

Little Mauser thought to himself that this is not difficult, there are many such talents in Europe, but this Ronnie is obviously very technical, why is he always looking for technical talents? Well, what does this have to do with us, Mauser just needs his technology, and everyone takes what they need.

"There should be no problem with this, I can definitely help you with this favor, how many science and engineering teachers do you need?" Little Mauser decided to finalize it as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble.

"Well, it should be okay to have twenty or thirty people, it is best to have a few teachers for each course, I promise to give them superior treatment" Master Liang's requirements are very scientific and reasonable, China's most such talents, it is best to have more and the better, but this is not realistic, if it is beyond the ability of Mauser Company, it will not be able to talk about it.

Little Mauser felt that there were a lot of people, but he could still find it with a little effort: "I will do my best to complete it, but what are the conditions for the transfer in two years?" "As a savvy businessman, of course, you have to ask about the conditions.

Young Master Liang looked grateful: "If you can help me with this, then everything is negotiable, and the specific transfer conditions will be discussed at that time, it will definitely not make you feel embarrassed."

In fact, Young Master Liang has already calculated that the Franco-Prussian War will start next year, and Prussia will definitely be ready to purchase a large number of armaments and materials, and the bullet business buddies will not have to make a lot of money at that time; When the war is over, the Federal Empire of Germany is established, and the French have received an indemnity of five billion francs, five billion, the Germans who suddenly become rich will definitely feel that there is nowhere to spend the money, buddy, and they will help you spend it when the time comes.

The two who negotiated the conditions did not say more, and the little Mauser returned home with a full set of "made in Hanyang" drawings, twelve sample guns, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition. The drawings and sample guns were given by Young Master Liang according to the agreement, and the price of 10,000 rounds of ammunition was 2,000 taels of silver. Foreign devils are in contact with people from time to time, and they like to do things according to the contract, so they have to collect the money that should be collected.

According to the contract, the thirty workers sent to Mauser for training were, of course, to go with Mauser Jr.; Most of these thirty people are collateral children of the Liang family, and the rest are relatively outstanding young people recruited from outside; For this reason, the Liang family also sent Liang Sibao, the Liang family steward who accompanied the young master Liang to study in Hong Kong, that is, Liang Qiang and Liang Zhuang's father, to Prussia with these thirty young workers to manage and take care of these young people there.

For this reason, Liang Zhuang specially came to Master Liang and proposed to him that he didn't want to be a small clerk in the regiment headquarters, and he wanted to go to Prussia with his father to study and study; This little Fa Xiao, who grew up together since childhood, actively asked for progress, and of course Young Master Liang was very happy, so he specially said hello to the little Mauser, and the little Mauser who asked for him of course happily agreed.

Master Liang, who had sent away little Mauser, turned around and held a meeting with all the engineers and technicians from Europe, at which Master Liang proposed: "Your salary income will increase by 10% year by year, but you must ensure that the technology you have seen and learned here cannot be leaked, otherwise you will bear a huge amount of damages." That is, give them a salary increase first, and then sign a confidentiality agreement.

These more than 70 European technicians had a sense of superiority before they came, because they knew that the Far East was synonymous with backwardness in science and technology, but what they saw and heard in these days made them fall through their glasses, and the rifles and bullets made by Young Master Liang were obviously much more advanced than those in Europe, so now the boss of the family asked to sign a technical confidentiality agreement, which is reasonable, of course they can only agree, after all, the salary here is very high, not to mention that there are people here who are sent by the Mauser company to act as technical spies. Of course, they have to stay and learn the skills before they go.

It's a pity that Young Master Liang can't let them go again; Since the confidentiality agreement has been signed, Young Master Liang has a reason to refuse to let them go, and no one can guarantee that you will not leak your secrets after you leave, unless you can pay a huge deposit; Of course, this margin figure will discourage these people from leaving.
