Chapter 292: Two Lines of Fire
"Huh... Ha... Right... In this case, it will put them in a dilemma, so that in the end, they will still have to look at our faces and be led by our noses. Uncle Jiang was as excited as a child, dancing and saying, "And... And also... The head of the house, the old slave Jianyi, we first pretended not to know the news, first sold them a batch of grain, and made a lot of money. In order to cover up this news, they will inevitably knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they will definitely eat this stuffy loss. When we have earned enough, we will make the news public and say that we will sell all the grain. Ha... Ha... By then, their faces would have been wonderful. β
"Uncle Jiang, I don't just have to deal with them, I also want to take the opportunity to use the grain and knock on the bamboo poles of the county magistrate Fang and some local snakes."
"Huh... Ha ......"
The two of them talked as if they were talking one after another, and the more they discussed, the happier they became, and after two hours, the laughter of the two of them could still be heard from time to time in the study......
July 19, noon
With Uncle Jiang's guidance, under Wang Shihua's strict order, Uncle Jing personally went out and led people straight to Tian's house, and the good news was transmitted back at noon the next day.
After spending 3,000 oceans, an apprentice who served tea and poured water in the Tian family's account revealed an accurate news: On July 9, the Tian family's account suddenly transferred 150,000 oceans, saying that he was going to Guangzhou to buy things, and the specific reason is unknown. On July 8, two days before the three families sent people to Longtang Town for the first time to find fault, Tian Jiafu's third uncle fell ill and heard that he had leprosy, and in order to avoid infection, the head of the family ordered him to be transferred to a cave, and no one was allowed to visit him except the head of the family.
went to Li's house to check, and the result was similar. Interestingly, the second brother of the head of the Li family also had leprosy and was also imprisoned in a cave. Let Uncle Jing laugh and sarcastically mock the two of them, but they didn't rush so much.
There is no need to check the rest, and it is enough to judge the accuracy of Uncle Jiang's judgment with these.
After talking to Uncle Jiang in the study, Wang Shihua, who was talking and laughing, was just about to discuss with Uncle Jiang how to use the homeless people, when Jiang Agou came.
"The head of the house, uncle, I ......"
"Wait a minute." Uncle Jiang unceremoniously interrupted Jiang Agou's words and said solemnly: "You remember, no matter what time you have, you must not forget your dignity and humility." In the future, wherever there is a master of the family, how can we be slaves, we only need to meet the master of the house. β
"Yes..."Jiang Agou replied with a serious salute, and then said to Wang Shihua: "Family master, on your orders, I have already negotiated the price with Brigade Commander Long (a local warlord contacted by his friend Pitt TongguΓ², and later learned that this Brigade Commander Long is just a name, and the real seller is a small official of the Nanjing Quartermaster Department) to negotiate the price, six small steel cannons, each a thousand oceans. 400 shells, 10 oceans each, a total of 10,000 oceans. Pay a deposit of 2,000 oceans in advance, and the other party is responsible for transporting the goods to Wuhan, where we will hand over, and if the cooperation is pleasant, we can continue to cooperate...... This is the content of the conversation, please take a look at it. β
Having opened up the arms path, both buyers and sellers naturally want to continue to cooperate, and this is the first time that it is completely tentative and understandable.
Wang Shihua glanced at it a few times and said with a smile: "Those 400 shells are the same model as our three small steel cannons?" β
"They say it's the same model."
"Well... That's it. How to contact and how to give a deposit are all up to you. When it was time to hand over, bring Pete with him and let him check it one by one. β
Uncle Jiang also added on the side: "Dog, this is the first time you have done such a big thing, you must not leak the news, you must be careful and careful." Also, there are many people outside, so don't be fooled. β
"Yes..."
When Jiang Agou went down, the telegram room sent the telegram he had just received, which was sent by Liu Shaoxun from Wuhan, and it was also about arms: five machine guns, three small steel cannons, and 200 shells. He also made it clear that the other party had a lot of arms, just because this was the first transaction, and out of prudence, the other party only dared to sell so much, and the other party asked the Wang family to go to Wuhan to buy it themselves, and they only promised to load the goods on the ship, and it was none of their business to leave the Wuhan border. However, at the same time, it was also said: if one qiΔ shun lΓ¬, this trade can be done for a long time, and better weapons can be provided, such as mountain artillery.
Wang Shihua was overjoyed and immediately called back, and Liu Shaoxun was in charge.
This time, Liu Shaoxun called back very quickly: each small steel cannon is 2,000 oceans, and each shell is 20 yuan, and there is no need to pay a deposit, but you must pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other. If you agree, you can send someone to trade right away. It shows the confidence and atmosphere of the other party.
Wang Shihua didn't expect to find two sellers for a while, which was really pleasantly surprised. It's just that the other party's asking price is too high, so I call back and ask for half of it. In order to increase Liu Shaoxun's confidence in the negotiations, Wang Shihua also believed Liu Shaoxun unreservedly and revealed the deal with Brigade Commander Long to Liu Shaoxun...... Wang Shihua didn't know that it was precisely because he unreservedly believed in Liu Shaoxun that his deal with Brigade Commander Long had an 'unexpected joy'.
This call was a little slower, and two hours later, Liu Shaoxun called back: After his efforts and the help of the middleman, the minimum requirements of the other party were: 1,200 oceans per small steel cannon, and 15 oceans per shell.
Wang Shihua had no choice but to agree. At the same time, ask the other party what other important weapons? I want to buy some for myself.
The call back was quick: the other party refused to disclose, but said that as long as the price was right, there was anything they wanted.
However, at the end of the call, he brought this sentence: "Although the other party's weapons can be provided for a long time, they are all Japanese-made weapons, please consider whether you want to cooperate for a long time?" β
The so-called weapon control put forward by Liu Shaoxun refers to providing Wang Shihua with all Japanese-made weapons, so that Wang Shihua feels that they are easy to use, sophisticated, and cheap, and will inevitably be used on a large scale. When Wang Shihua believes in the other party's credit and all the staff change to Japanese-made weapons, it is when the Wang family's weapons are accused by the other party: if you are disobedient, the other party can immediately cut off the supply of weapons to you at any time. When the time comes, because the Japanese-made weapons do not match the weapons of other countries in terms of gun and ammunition models, it means that as soon as you run out of ammunition, the guns in your hands will become decorations. At this time, it is the beginning of your old life...... If they dare to provide you with weapons, they show that they are capable of encircling you. At that point, even if you have the money to buy weapons, it will be absolutely difficult to get them in...... It doesn't take too many people to blow up the vehicles transporting weapons, a well-trained raid squad, plus a few grenades are enough...
And Liu Shaoxun deliberately raised the price at this time, and deliberately asked Wang Shihua to go to Wuhan to transport the weapons back, from the perspective of a businessman: deliberately embarrassing can it appear more real... In fact, it was he who applied to the Japanese army base camp and was transported directly to Wuhan. Of course, the price will be lower and lower in the future, and sometimes even under the pretext of helping, loans and even free weapons will be provided to Wang Shihua. And the reason why he had the last question was also a temptation. As long as this first transaction is completed, or as long as Wang Shihua is on this first time, it is equivalent to starting to get on the thief ship, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for Wang Shihua to get off the ship, because Liu Shaoxun will try his best to use a qiΔ method to cut off Wang Shihua's contact and transactions with other weapons dealers one by one, so as to achieve Wang Shihua's final high dependence on Japanese-made weapons.
It's a pity that Wang Shihua only thought at this time: As long as the weapon is in hand, I don't care if you are a god or a ghost, and I still don't believe that a cannon can't kill you? I don't even know what weapon control is, let alone think about the consequences.
The content of the call back can be imagined.
Wang Shihua didn't take this seriously, and turned around and discussed with Uncle Jiang when he would release the news that he would sell grain to the people.
After some discussions, Wang Shihua decided that no matter what the three families did, in order to raise the price of grain as much as possible, they would begin to secretly sell grain at a high price on the 22nd at the latest, and once it was determined that the other party was aware of the matter, he would immediately release the news, and then, in the course of repeated confirmation and denial, the price of grain would inevitably fluctuate violently, and he would officially and openly sell grain at the highest price. In this regard, Uncle Jiang is a veteran, so naturally he is in charge of the overall situation.
It's just that plans can never catch up with changes...
July 21st, noon...
Just when Wang Shihua was groggy and was about to take a nap on Ah Xia's lap, Fang Jue, who had been the magistrate of Jiangyin County for more than a year, visited for the first time. Of course, it was a secret...... By the way: Wang Shihua likes to take a nap on Ah Xia's lap the most, because Zhang Cuiyun and Xiaomei have practiced martial arts since childhood, as long as their thighs are slightly forced, sleeping on them is like pillowing a stone, which is very uncomfortable. And Ah Xia's thighs are soft, soft and hard, and sleeping on them is fragrant even if she has nightmares. In this regard, Xiaomei has made trouble twice, but in the face of Wang Shihua's unchanging original intention, she can only blame herself for being too powerful. It's a gain and a loss...
Although he doesn't take the parents of this county seriously in his heart, he still has to deal with it, besides, Wang Shihua still has a good impression of Fang Jue personally: he likes anyone who dares to do it against the Xiang family. On the contrary, anyone who dares to do it against the Wang family is the target of his slap to death.
"Did he really only bring a secretary and a guard?"
"Yes, in order to be afraid of being recognized, he also deliberately put on a mustache and wore a big hat, which looks a little weird."
"Heh... Scold... This guts is okay among county magistrates. Well, since he came in secret, he definitely doesn't want to be discovered, so you take him to the study first, and greet the two people he brought with him by the way, so as not to say that my Wang family neglects them...... Don't let anyone see it. β
When he came to the study, he saw that Fang Jue, who had arrived one step earlier, was admiring the ancient paintings hanging on the wall, Wang Shihua smiled, walked over, and hugged his fists and said: "The county magistrate Fang is here, so that the humble house is full of glory...... failed to meet far away, but also hoped to atone for sins. β
These words sounded flattering and polite, but Wang Shihua's tone was a little weird, so that Fang Jue couldn't figure out whether these words were praising his politeness or sarcastic himself?
"The master of the Wang family is polite, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing me."
That's what you have to ask for...
After some greetings, the two took a sip of tea, and Wang Shihua said with a smile: "I don't know if County Magistrate Fang is here this time, do you have any advice?" β
"Master Wang, no matter what the business is, but in private I still admire you very much, and I am willing to make you a friend, so don't be so sour."
"Yes... Friends, absolute friends. β
County Magistrate Fang glanced at him angrily, and said with a straight face: "Master Wang, I came here to ask for help this time. β
Let me say in passing, you really don't think of yourself as an outsider, and your ability to fight snakes with sticks is too strong, right? Wang Shihua looked at County Magistrate Fang in amazement......
