Pang Taishi did not hesitate, and opened the reserve price of Jio Yoshino one by one, "In addition, I also recommended the Japanese version of the Taiyuan 60 mortar, 600 silver dollars per door, and 50 silver dollars per shell."

"The Japanese version of the Jinling-made 82 mortar, 1,500 silver dollars/door, 100 silver dollars/10 shells, and the Japanese-style 92 infantry gun, 4,500 silver dollars/door, 200 silver dollars/10 shells."

Although Liu Yun studied machinery in the United States, he was a complete layman in the arms trade, and since he didn't understand the doorway, he had to drink tea and listen to the explanations of the two seniors.

Liu Yuangeng frowned a little, and explained a little, the quality of the Huaxia Arsenal has always been a big problem, even if the same batch of munitions will be uneven.

Therefore, before the sale, it will be screened, and the three big grades will be set, as well as the nine small grades from the top to the bottom, and the price difference between each grade is large.

This time, the price of the devil Yoshino Jio is quite fair, especially the upper and lower rifles of 45 silver dollars / piece, which are cheaper than the Hanyang Arsenal directly out of the factory, that is, they are not soft on bullets and shells, and they are more expensive than domestic ones, and the prices of mortars and infantry guns are obviously high.

Taking the 75mm German infantry gun as an example, it dares to ask for 12,000 US dollars per door, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 silver dollars, and the infantry gun of 4,500 silver dollars / door is indeed not expensive.

According to the purchase list provided by Boss He, 3,000 rifles, 1 million rounds of 7.92 bullets, 200 Czech light machine guns, 1 million rounds of machine gun bullets, 200 shell guns, 20,000 grenades, 20 60 mortars, 2,000 rounds of 60 artillery shells, 10 82 mortars, 1,000 rounds of 82 artillery shells, and a number of other military supporting materials, with a total price of 552,000 silver dollars.

"The devil Yoshino also agreed, erase the odds, and count the whole amount of 500,000 silver dollars", Pang Taishi said with some regret, "Even the freight has to be calculated separately, in the area under Yichang on the Yangtze River, the Japanese army can send warships to escort it."

"According to the current industry rules, we can get 2% of the commission", but Liu Yuangeng was very content, "that is, 152,400 silver dollars."

Pang Taishi thinks that he can do something more, such as raising the price of the rifle to 65 silver dollars, such as this is a special period, and the overall price can rise by 30% and so on.

Seeing Taishi Pang and Liu Yuangeng singing and harmonizing, looking elated, Liu Yun really couldn't help it, "Have you ever considered how much money Boss He can have?"

"This-", a scoop of cold water was splashed, and Pang Liu and the others were stunned for a moment.

If Liu Yun didn't say it, they really forgot about this problem, before Boss He, he had already ordered a number of Western medicines, grain and cloth, the amount was amazing, the cost was huge, and now he wanted to buy arms, it was really not alarmist, and there was a chance that he would be short of money.

"Actually, we just send the Buddha to the west, and do it to the end", Liu Yun looked like a righteous Bo Yuntian, trying to lobby, "Tomorrow I will make it clear to Boss He one by one, let them choose by themselves, this time they won't make much money anyway, so why not earn a big favor."

Taishi Pang and Liu Yuangeng stopped talking, and they suddenly became interested in tea, lowered their heads, and stared at the tea leaves in the teacup, as if the tea leaves could turn into gold.

Subsequently, in addition to drinking tea, Pang and Liu chatted about family life, never talked about business, and not long after, Pang Taishi excused his daughter to be at home, waiting for him to go back to eat, and took the first step.

Liu Yuangeng walked to the door, hesitated for a while, looked at Liu Yun for a few minutes, and stopped talking, and finally had to shake his head, sigh, and leave.

Pang and Liu broke up unhappily, and Liu Yun was also a little uneasy in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, there was still a month to start the Long March, and the Red Army had reached the most difficult time, so it was naturally at ease, this batch of materials was very critical, and most of them would pass through the Yangtze River, go through Dongting Lake in Hubei, and go up the Xiangjiang River in Hunan, preparing for the Red Army to completely break the five blockade lines.

Thinking about the tragic bloody battle of the Xiangjiang River, Liu Yun felt that he had done nothing wrong, he was just a little ant in this era, and he could not do anything about the big historical process, so he could only move forward along the wheel of history and minimize some senseless losses.

At another time and place, the Central Red Army was reduced from 100,000 to 30,000 in the first battle of the Xiangjiang River, and by the time Maogong (Xiaojinchuan) in Sichuan joined forces with the Red Fourth Front Army, it was already less than 15,000.

Early the next morning, the nerd Jin Zhu drove to pick him up and went to the "Kangding Sihai" teahouse on Tibet Road to drink tea.

The bottom of the second floor of the Sihai Tea House, facing the street, sits east to west, presents the reverse concave shape, and is similar to the traditional Chinese courtyard, is the representative of the combination of Chinese and Western, is the most common architectural style of this era, you can taste tea, drink coffee, play cards, rub mahjong and play commentary, you have everything.

After entering, Liu Yun found that the entrance of the teahouse, the partition treatment, the surface is no different from other street buildings, in fact, it is a brick and concrete structure as the main body, the exterior is embedded with wooden boards as decoration, and the middle concave part is a traditional dripping courtyard, which has both the strong and smooth Western architecture, and the friendly nature of Chinese architecture, which is very suitable for the aesthetics of this era.

As soon as Liu Yun and Jin Zhu entered, Dr. Tea led the two to the private room on the third floor, saying that it was actually a room with three connected rooms, with three exits, two west and one east, with good lighting, wide vision, and a clean and tidy environment, which should be specially prepared for specific people.

Not long after Liu Yun sat down, Mr. He and Liu Pang came over from several different entrances one after another. Everyone tacitly let Jin Zhu and Mr. Wu follow and drink tea in another room in the private room, and the remaining four people chatted in the innermost.

As soon as all the chores were over, everyone began to go straight to the topic of the meeting.

"I don't know what's wrong with you," Mr. Ho spoke first.

"The seller has time requirements this time, and we are a little worried about whether your funds can be in place for a while", Pang Taishi did not go around in circles, and directly broke out their worries.

Mr. He was first happy, then stunned, and then frowned, walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, because he didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly in advance, and it was only three or five days after he arrived in Shanghai, and Taishi Pang and Liu Yuangeng actually had a letter.

It is indeed tricky to raise funds, thinking of the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, Mr. He was a little hesitant, and the chief repeatedly told him when he left that he was only allowed to succeed and not to fail, and that arms were no better than ordinary goods, and that this time he could get them in time, it all depended on luck, and he wanted to give up this opportunity.

After Pang Liu and the others glanced at each other, they didn't speak, picked up the teacup, and tasted it carefully.

"Our funds are really insufficient", Mr. He seemed to have made up his mind, sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "However, I don't know if you can accept some calligraphy and paintings."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. He immediately summoned Mr. Wu outside the door, asked him to hand in a small box, and after carefully closing the door, he gently opened the box, took out a delicate bamboo tube, and then pulled out the calligraphy and painting inside, which was Tang Bohu's "Hundred Flowers Fighting for Swallows" in the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that "antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times", in fact, it is not entirely true, not to mention that even in troubled times, antiques are still antiques, and some antiques still have great value retention.

Since the global economic crisis in 1929, by 1934 the world has been full of chaos, such as Hitler's rearmament of Germany, the Soviet Union was stepping up its suppression, the Spanish Civil War was on the verge of breaking out, and the Sino-Japanese war had been going on for three years.

However, on the whole, China is still a thriving false prosperity, especially in the areas of Nanjing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in the Republic of China, which are intoxicated with the myth of the "golden decade", and the people's demand for antiques has risen unabated.

Liu Pang and the others are both human spirits, and after a few glances, they knew that this was a genuine work, the size was large, and it was a rare boutique, so they glanced at each other, nodded indistinctly, and expressed their approval.

"How about this treasure worth 50,000 silver dollars", Liu Yuangeng groaned slightly, estimated a rough price, and gave a price that was neither low nor too high.

In the 21st century, this genuine painting may exceed 5 million US dollars, but in this era, it can be worth 50,000 oceans, which is not bad, after all, the Manchu Dynasty has only fallen for 23 years, and all kinds of rare antiques in the Forbidden City have long been scattered among the people, resulting in the price of antiques falling again and again.

"There are seven or eight antiques like this", Mr. He's expression was a little gloomy, "they were all raised by comrades with great difficulty, I thought-".

Mr. He's spirits perked up, and his voice suddenly changed, "You can accept it, that's the best, if you add some existing funds, it's almost the same."

"I personally implore you, it's best not to sell such antiques to foreigners," Mr. He seemed a little embarrassed, but still said, "Otherwise, even if Huaxia becomes strong in the future, it will be difficult to take it back."

When Liu Pang and the others heard this, they were also shocked in their hearts and thought so.

Counting cash and antiques together, there is still a big gap between the total price of arms, medicine and food, and Mr. He is also hesitant to reduce some arms or food.

"Our commission can be slowed down, and we can save more than 100,000 oceans", Liu Yun had to stand up and help pull the shelf, "The people who sell grain, medicine and cloth are some small businessmen, once the capital turnover is not effective, they will go bankrupt, so they can't be in arrears."

"So, as for the remaining seventy or eighty thousand", Liu Yun looked at Liu Pang and the others and said, "Please two uncles, how about lending them to the little nephew, Mr. He can wait for the funds to be sufficient before repaying."

Pang Liu and the others rolled their eyes suddenly, you should be buying and selling Chinese cabbage, seventy or eighty thousand oceans, your father Liu Ebei, even if he bought all the belongings, he couldn't make it up, but in front of outsiders, it was not easy to slap his nephew's face, so he had to hum and agree.

Liu Yun turned to Mr. He again and warned in a deep voice, "As for the transportation issue, you can completely organize the transportation by yourself, and there will be a war between China and Japan in the future.

Liu Yun's initiative to help was really unexpected by Mr. He, and his gratitude was beyond words, and he was choked for a while, so he had to hug his fists and thank him, "Little brother, righteousness, if there is anything in the future, as long as someone can do it, say hello, and do your best."

Mr. He recognized Liu Yun's favor.

Hmph, isn't it just waiting for this sentence, Liu Yun immediately climbed along the pole.

"Brother He, the younger brother is asking for something."

"Please speak", Mr. He is also a cheerful person and unambiguous.

"When the eldest brother met Mr. Li Desheng—".
