Chapter 13 Arms Purchases

Hansen and the two got this big order, naturally they had to contact the customer relationship, John's money was all pressed on the arms, and he couldn't give Hulin's advance payment, so he could only find a way to find Hansen, Hansen was of course willing to borrow again, this is the money that can be recovered steadily, and readily agreed to help raise it, Hansen naturally has the right to embezzle funds in various foreign banks, and he has to find a bank to borrow a lot of money even if John's money is counted, so he hurriedly ran to the bank.

Hu Lin has not yet turned around in the ancient city of the Qing Dynasty, as soon as he came to the city of Guangzhou, he encountered a dispute between the two foreigners, but he solved part of the arms problem, and now he only brought 15,000 taels of silver tickets, and the silver to do something is still too little, and the 1,000 Mauser 98 and ammunition If they are not optimistic about these daily chemicals, they really can't buy it, so they will buy some Mauser 1888 and other front guns.

In Hu Lin's opinion, these weapons are really antiques among antiques, and they are not to be looked down upon, but under the conditions of modern domestic control, it is impossible to get a large number of firearms, since they have come to this society, they naturally have to do something for the nation.

The foreigners on the side of the capital have not retreated, the Eight-Nation Coalition is still burning and looting in the capital, the incompetence of the Manchu Qing has buried the whole of China, and there will be more suffering in the future.

"Alas"

Hu Lin sighed, looking at the numb crowd around him, his heart felt powerless, and it seemed that he had to speed up his pace to deal with the aggression of the great powers.

Suddenly, a carriage appeared on the street and stopped at a foreign goods store, Hu Lin looked at the next woman with an incredible face, a slender and plump body, a dress and a hat, that face... Isn't this the thirteenth aunt in Huang Feihong, even more than the thirteenth aunt, the temperament is as quiet as moving, compared with the numb people around her, it is shocking.

couldn't help it, couldn't control his legs, Hu Lin walked over slowly, when the woman entered, there was no longer her figure in the foreign goods store, Hu Lin looked carefully in the store and didn't find out, is it an illusion, impossible, Hu Lin is sure that it is not an illusion, the carriage outside the door has not left.

Although he has seen so many beauties on the modern Internet, this woman gives people the feeling that it is not comparable to those who have been corrupted by modern thoughts, Hu Lin still calmed down. Although the barbarian bears were a little strange why Hu Lin reacted so much when he saw a woman dressed in a foreign style, they didn't say anything, their purpose was to protect Hu Lin, in their opinion, as long as a woman's face was not crooked, it was good, how could they appreciate it.

"Maybe it's no fate!" Hu Lin sighed softly, he didn't think that his immunity to beautiful women was so bad, he came back to his senses, smiled stupidly, and prepared to leave.

A man in a thin dress walked out of the side door, "Ahem, boy, who were you looking for just now, tell you, don't hit her attention, otherwise you will die a miserable death, do you hear." ”

"Huh?" Hu Lin was stunned, what is this, relieved himself, he understood, just now he followed the woman in, and he looked for someone in the store, and found out, but I don't know what the relationship between this person and that woman in front of me is.

"What about you, what are you stunned, it seems to be a fool, I don't hear it, she's mine, you'd better not hit her attention, get out of here!" The thin man shouted as if no one was around, at first glance, he was a rich second generation, or a son, Hu Lin didn't care so much, in the Qing Dynasty, he didn't think about who he was afraid of, ignored the man, and raised his hand to signal a few people.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, beer, click..." The thin man was instantly overwhelmed by the flesh fists and legs.

Hu Lin didn't care that the molecule was put down on the ground and beaten severely, the brute bear didn't show mercy, and if he didn't kill him, the brute bear followed, "Brother Hu, I didn't expect the people here to be so arrogant, hehe, let them play for a while." ”

Hu Lin nodded and continued to walk, didn't think about the woman anymore, just met a beautiful woman, walked on the street to see Xiqi, roughly understood the city of Guangzhou, and could be regarded as a deeper understanding of this era.

Called a table of dishes, sat on a table and ate big, let Xiao Er take the best wine, Hu Lin is not used to it at all, it is so light, or too strong, the taste is far worse than modern wine, the winemaking technology of this era is poor, Hu Lin thought that it is another business to get some wine from modern times, and then his train of thought was interrupted.

"Ask for money, phew, you see that you built my house so strong, used so many materials, what money do I make, the ash is very cheap, isn't it, the iron bars are cut on the mountain, you look at how much you used for me, and asked me for wages, ahh I only listened to the voice of a philistine scolding.

"This is the amount needed in the proportion of materials, it can't be less, if the quality of the house is not up to standard, it will collapse, I can't build a house that will fall down after a long time!" The other argued.

"Go, let me go, you don't have to do it here, don't want the salary, and I'll give you a good look if you pester the master." The man glared fiercely at the other scholar-like man, shook his hand and left.

The scholar-like man stood there dumbfounded, not moving for a long time. Hu Linji called him over. "What's the matter, he owes you wages? Are you a construction project? ”

"Alas, I studied civil engineering and architecture in Germany abroad, and I want to come back to serve the imperial court, but the officials above don't give me a chance at all, so I can only do it myself, and help the rich businessmen outside, but I didn't expect these rich businessmen to be the same as those officials, they don't come according to the quality, if there is a problem with the house, it is human life, I have always insisted on coming according to the quality, no, I haven't gotten the wages to sweep the floor and go out, oh, my name is Chen Rui, I don't know what to call it?" Chen Rui talked about the matter and the experience of returning to China.

"You just call me Hu Lin, oh, did you do civil construction, or did you stay in the ocean? The ** person in the court is well known, Brother Chen, don't mind too much, but I have some projects, if you are willing to help me, I will not restrict your work, how about everything according to the requirements? "As soon as Hu Lin saw that it was a talent who had stayed abroad, it was scarce in this era, so he thought about recruiting it for his own use, and he still had to build roads on the side of Pingshan, so he was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.

"Really, Boss Hu? Yes, very willingly, I just want to engage in architecture, I like it when I am young, as long as you don't interfere with my work, I promise to do the work for you beautifully, but maybe the cost will be relatively higher. Chen Rui was excited, and a little embarrassed to admit it.

"It doesn't matter, you can do what you want, you are a professional, naturally you have to be considered by professionals, we only ask for results, not inferior projects." Hulin assured.

"Then I'll go with you, now there are fewer businessmen who don't get stuck in the cost, Boss Hu is a conscientious businessman, admire" Chen Rui is really like a literati.

Called a few more dishes and ate them together, Chen Rui seemed to have not eaten enough for a few days, he ate half of the dishes on the table, and looked at Hu Lin apologetically with a full burp, Hu Lin laughed. After eating and drinking tea, he walked around the city again, and the next day Hu Lin asked people to go and find Hansen to talk about buying arms again, since it is bigger, then it is necessary to buy some arms, these 1,000 are not enough, if you can build a production line, it will be better.

When Hansen learned that Hulin was looking for him, he hurried over. "Hu, if you still have business, don't forget me!"

"Haha, Hansen, there is really a business, I like this batch of your Mauser 98 in Germany very much, how many more can I get, I thought about it after I went back, these 1000 are not enough, I want to get some." Hu Lin tried to see if he could get some more, but the silver could be deducted from the payment, so he was not too worried.

"Hu, this is a bit troublesome, you know that it took a lot of effort to get these 2,000 Mauser 98 for John, and it took a lot of money to get it, and now it is the standard equipment of the German Army, too much and a little troublesome, but ・・・・・" Hansen didn't think that Hu Lin still wanted arms, it seems that there are not a few, some can't make up their minds, it seems that if they are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to get it, and it is not a problem to get tens of thousands of them, but it is just to give benefits to those greedy officers above, not a small amount of benefits for taking arms.

"Don't worry about the silver, you go and ask first, see how much you get, what you can get, I can eat it if I want to, and the money in those goods will not be less in the future," Hu Lin confirmed.

"That's right, I'll contact you, as long as Hu can give up the money, it doesn't matter how many arms you want, as long as you satisfy the greedy pigs above, these problems are not a problem." Hansen put his chest on his chest and promised that as long as he was willing to pay for it, he could handle it.

Hu Lin was reconciled, it seemed that this matter was not so difficult, and thought about it, "Hansen, I still want to get a production line for the Mauser 98 gun, I don't know if I can ・・・・・ it."

"What? Hu, you're not kidding, it's definitely not going to work, this is the latest army equipment, and there are no two production lines in Germany

Well, wait, if you can come up with something that the military ministry is interested in, I think they will dare to do anything, and if it's good for Germany, as a deal, I think the prime minister will be happy to do it, depending on whether you can provide what they are interested in. ”

At first, Hansen denied it and jumped to his feet, but he thought back that there was still a chance under special circumstances, which he could use to prevaricate Hulin, and that Hulin could not offer anything that Germany would be interested in.

"So?" Hu Lin thought for a while, "You see that you will get 20,000 guns first, well, that is, all the munitions of an expanded division, according to the German Army's matching, as for the production supply, I will go back and find it, maybe there is something that your prime minister can like."

Hansen smiled and didn't speak, when Hu Lin was whimsical, it would be good to buy the arms of this division, and he also wanted the production line, so he accompanied Hu Lin to fight for a long time haha, and rushed back.

Now after getting on the line with Hu Lin, I feel that I am much busier, first of all, those daily chemicals have to find a good home, and then the arms added here are not a small amount, and the relationship to go is not one or two.

In 1900 in the Qing Dynasty, the great powers had not yet imposed arms restrictions on the Qing Dynasty, as long as it was not too excessive, they could buy it with money, and they could give as much as they wanted. Therefore, Hansen wants to go to the domestic relationship, and when the money is in place, this is a big business that is sure to make money, and the arms business is the most profitable, of course, plus the daily chemicals provided by Hu Lin, which is definitely more profitable than arms in the early stage.
