With fifty rifles in exchange for two salt wells, Wang Hengyue became a big salt merchant in one fell swoop!

Salt mining and selling salt are all under the management of the "Glory Salt Company" with Chen Qifeng as the general manager, Chen Qifeng also has some wonders, why did Lord Wang get two more salt wells in a blink of an eye?

The salt merchants in Rongxian, Ziliujing and Gongjing are very protective, and they know what the consequences of indiscriminate opening of salt wells and excessive digging and mining will cause. Therefore, for so many years, there are only 37 wells in Rong County, and there are only 61 wells in artesian wells and Gongjing.

It's good now, as soon as Wang Hengyue came, he actually owned four wells all of a sudden, and became the fourth largest salt merchant in Rong County.

What does a four-eyed well mean? It means that the financial resources are rolling, and Wang Bang at least no longer has to worry about military salaries.

With the four-eye wells of "Glory Salt Industry Company" and the transportation business support of "Rongxian Limited Transfer Company", Wang Hengyue's economic situation has passed the most difficult stage and has begun to move towards the circular development of the good surname.

The only thing that made Wang Hengyue not very satisfied was the first two wells, and he still had to share half of the profits with others, and he always calculated that he had to find an opportunity to monopolize it himself.

In fact, he himself knows that he has been dancing on a tightrope all the time, and if that little thing between him and the revolutionary party gets out, there will be a catastrophe at that time.

In Rong County, Wang Hengyue's power began to take root and showed a state of spread.

and Rong County administrative officials Li Shenchun and Li Qizhang are closely linked because of their interests; The relationship with Zhao Xi, the most famous and high-status local celebrity, is also very harmonious; The relationship between Long Dengjie, the forces of the Peace Party, has also become a situation of mutual dependence and mutual use because of the appearance of Long Mingjian.

The armed forces under his command also developed well, the first team was limited to 181 people, the armed guard team had grown to more than 300 people, and the security team also had 190 guns. With nearly 700 guns, the strength is not very large, but it is enough for self-protection at the moment.

In this way, although Wang Hengyue is still just a gang leader, he actually has a battalion of armed forces.

With money and people, Wang Hengyue naturally thought about how to further strengthen the firepower of the first team. Now he did not have the ability to produce heavy machine guns, so he entrusted Kleiman to help him secretly buy two Makqin heavy machine guns.

Doing business with Kleiman is the most reassuring, first, Wang Hengyue once fought side by side with Kleiman and had friendships; Second, for the first time, the two sides cooperated happily and had a foundation.

The third and most important point is that in addition to bandits and revolutionaries, foreigners need to worry about this, and it doesn't matter who you buy it and what you do when you buy it!

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and when the pocket funds are already abundant, Wang Hengyue began to use his brains on how to further strengthen himself.

He took the time to go to Chengdu secretly and had a secret conversation with Kleiman. He presented Kleiman with a list of purchases, which included four small cannons, several machines of various types, and a number of supporting facilities. The four salt wells of "Glory Salt Company" are used as collateral, and the payment is deferred for one year, and the interest is calculated accordingly.

Kleiman looked at the list and was a little surprised, Wang Hengyue was just a small gang, what did he want to buy so many things?

"Do you want to rebel?" Kleiman asked, confused.

"I'm a little helper, I'll buy a few small cannons, a few machines, which one is the opposite? It was wiped out in the blink of an eye. Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "This world is very chaotic, no one can guarantee what will happen tomorrow, I bought these things all for self-preservation." ”

Kleiman was suspicious, a company of troops, equipped with a few heavy machine guns, a few small cannons, and machines for manufacturing all kinds of military supplies, this cannot be described as self-preservation!

However, it is not their own business, the head office has an order, except that it is not allowed to do business with the revolutionary party, but it is okay to do other business.

And looking at Wang Hengyue's posture, he will continue to be promoted, especially since he recently heard that Wang Hengyue is about to become Ma Weiqi's grandson-in-law, and his future is even greater. Now have a good relationship with him, and one day he can have real power in his hands, and Fan Lixi's company will be very beneficial!

"Don't worry, I don't care what you do with these things, I'll help you get them together within three months, who made us friends!" Kleiman said enthusiastically, and hugged Wang Hengyue tightly when he sent him out.

As soon as he left Kleiman's place, Wang Hengyue went directly to Du Charlie without stopping.

Seeing Wang Hengyue suddenly appear, Charlie Du was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly invited Wang Hengyue to his office.

For Wang Hengyue, Charlie Du clapped his hands to welcome, and Wang Hengyue was the most happy.

"What, you want to buy a cannon?"

As soon as he sat down and heard Wang Hengyue's intentions clearly, Charlie Du drank a mouthful of tea and squirted out.

The table in front of him was sprayed with tea, and Charlie Du didn't care about wiping it, his eyes stared at Wang Hengyue in a daze, as if he was looking at a monster there: "Wang Bang, Lord Wang, Brother Shuzhi, do you want to buy a cannon?" Are you crazy? ”

"I'm not crazy, it's still early." Wang Hengyue had already guessed that Charlie Du would have such an expression: "Two cannons, seven and a half lives are fine, and five and a half lives are okay." You can also retreat fast artillery by land pipe, and I also want mountain artillery. The origin, the last is the German Krupp, if you really can't get it, I want the French Crusoe, and I can accept it! ”

"Wait, wait." Charlie Du's head was a little dizzy when he heard this: "Let's not be busy talking about the style and caliber, and don't talk about how much risk you have to take to get this, do you know how much silver it costs?" ”

Before Wang Hengyue came, he had already discussed it carefully with Liu Sihai, and smiled when he heard this: "Last year, Sheng Xuanhuai bought four Krupp cannons, and the price of the cannonballs was 110,000 taels of silver, so calculated, one cannon is 27,500 taels, two cannons are connected with cannonballs, and your commission is at most 60,000 taels." ”

"At most?" Charlie Du's eyes widened: "That time you bought the machine, you still bargained horizontally and bargained vertically, why did you have the silver in the blink of an eye?" ”

It's not easy for Lao Tzu to come by this bit of silver, and he asked Kleiman to buy it, and then asked you to buy it, and you have to postpone the payment, these two cannons can really be obtained, and the silver in Lao Tzu's pocket is about the same. But I can't let you know about that anyway.

Thinking so in his stomach, Wang Hengyue said with a smile on his face:

"Brother Charlie, don't worry about the silver, it won't be a penny short of you, I'll ask you, you answer honestly, can you get a cannon!"
