Chapter Fifty-Eight: Feng Arrives in Shanghai

On the bank of the Huangpu River, the whistle sounded, Feng Yuxiang walked to the vicinity of the ship's side, looking at the ten-mile long street, the early morning mist, shrouded in the whole majestic city, on the Bund, the foreign line in the distance, is brightly lit, slightly emotional, this is a place of red lights.

Zhengzhou's things, did not go well, he went to urge, people admit the account, is to shirk, you push me, I push you, in the clouds, busy for more than a week, there is no result, as if it is a charity to give 300 taels, for an ordinary family, 300 taels is enough for several years, but for a battalion, hundreds of people, 300 taels, I'm afraid it's just a few days of effort, what's the use.

There is no way to wait, and it is a waste of time to wait any longer, Feng Yuxiang thought of the little brother he met on the train, and if he didn't say anything else, he rushed at those long and short guns, a box of long guns, 3 short guns, adding up to a few hundred yuan, and the little brother gave it without blinking, just rushed this, he needed to go to Shanghai to take a look.

Feng Yuxiang has never been to Shanghai, but he has heard a lot about Shanghai, Shanghai is a paradise for adventurers, whether it is foreigners, or ordinary people, they all regard this place as a place to make a fortune, but in his opinion, this is a chaotic place, on the territory of China, a concession has emerged, this is not a country within a country, the country has no strength, diplomacy has no voice, this may be what Yang Yuanzhao said, semi-feudal and semi-colonial, the foreigners are high, and the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are submissive.

Three people who are obviously extraordinary, and have the momentum of obvious soldiers, got off the boat, walked side by side to the dock, the gangsters on the dock, basically all of them are human spirits, such people, no oil and water, maybe they will also top the thunder, the three of them were almost not disturbed, they left the dock, and walked into the bustling streets of Shanghai.

It was unfamiliar, but fortunately, when Zhengzhou broke up before, they left the address of the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, and relied on inquiries and inquiries to finally find the location of the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, but they got a disappointing news that Yang Yuanzhao was not there.

Feng Yuxiang and they came over a week earlier, maybe they would be able to meet Yang Yuanzhao, at that time he was still living in the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, the German and American foreign bank opened, and the sales volume was tens of thousands every day, these are all things that were picked up for nothing, Yang Yuanzhao is a person who will never treat himself badly, he has money, of course, he has lived well, and he moved directly into the Zhonghui Hotel, and even took Yang Yue to the Zhonghui Hotel.

Zhonghui Hotel is a foreign-funded hotel, very famous in old Shanghai, if it were not for the Harpy horse, Yang Yuanzhao may not even be able to set the room, at a price of 300 yuan per day, set two luxury boxes, but also in the early 20th century, enjoy the most luxurious service.

Knowing that Yang Yuanzhao was not there, Feng Yuxiang's face showed a trace of embarrassment, the guys' next remarks dispelled the gloom on his face, Yang Yuanzhao took special care of the Yang family when he left, and left the address of the foreign bank, in his opinion, the busy feet do not touch the ground every day, God knows if it will be there, but the foreign bank will not run there, and the rifle to buy, no matter how much, the foreign bank can give it, where is the most convenient.

The German and American foreign companies are a little far away from the Yangjia Chamber of Commerce, the Yangjia Chamber of Commerce is located in the traditional old Shanghai County, surrounded by some shops of the Chinese, mainly selling some daily necessities, and occasionally matching for the big acquisitions of foreign companies, the core of the old Shanghai is the concession area, close to the Bund of the Huangpu River, so from here to there, almost through most of Shanghai, the current Shanghai, not as large as the Shanghai of later generations, but has begun to take shape, half of Shanghai, at least one or two hours to walk, almost 30 miles.

The three of them were well-trained soldiers, and they had spent most of their time in Shanghai from Zhengzhou, and they did not choose to take a rickshaw, but went on foot, and it took almost half a morning to finally arrive near the foreign bank at noon.

This area is not a dense area of foreign houses, it looks like an area of garden houses, Western-style buildings, beautiful gardens, highlighting the wealth here, Feng Yuxiang can't see it, this is a place to sell arms,

Not only Feng Yuxiang is strange, but Shi Congyun and Wang Jinming also look at each other, and strange places always make people feel bottomless.

Shi Congyun asked, "Feng Tou, are you sure they are on this street?"

Wang Jinming said affirmatively: "It should be, I just saw the name of the street on the corner of the street, just like what the guys said, the foreign company that Brother Yang said is on this street, called Demei Foreign Company." ”

Feng Yuxiang walked most of the streets in the buildings on both sides of the street, slowly looking for it, and for almost an hour, he didn't find this foreign company, could it be that the little brother is a liar, but he vaguely remembers Yang Yuanzhao's smiling face, he shouldn't be a liar.

No matter what, I always have to look for it, and it happened that a few pedestrians came out of the bungalow in front of me, and Shi Congyun immediately stepped forward and stopped them to ask.

It was stopped by a few strong men, and a few guys who looked rich were taken aback, but the three of them were pleasant, and just asked the German and American foreign firms, which are very famous in this area, with an endless stream of merchants, as well as all kinds of arms they sell at a low price, so that the people in the nearby streets know that they hurriedly pointed out, in fact, it is not too far from their location.

The location of this foreign company is a little remote, they missed it before, and after getting accurate guidance, they finally found this foreign company.

Standing at the gate of Yangyang, from the outside, this foreign house is not much different from the previous garden villa, Feng Yuxiang is very sure, he walked through this foreign house before, however, he didn't notice the signboard upstairs, and now when he looks at it again, he noticed that the name of the big Demei on the signboard is big.

The main entrance is on the other side, which is a little more lively than this side, closer to the Bund, and it is a large road, which can be accessed from behind, but only with a small door.

After going around for half a circle, I came to the location of the main entrance, which was the previous garden facing the street, this garden was opened, as a lawn, and was slightly decorated, and several rooms near the street were completely opened and divided into different doors, which looked extraordinary.

"It seems that the little brother is really amazing!" Shi Congyun said.

"Yes, it looks like it has just been established, and it has such momentum so quickly!" Wang Jinming also nodded in admiration.

After spending most of the morning and walking through almost a Shanghai, they almost witnessed the prosperity of Shanghai, and in such a prosperous center, there is such a large area of garden houses, which shows the strength of this foreign bank.

Feng Yuxiang didn't speak, he walked in, the hall was very spacious, almost at a glance, as a soldier, he almost saw dozens of different types of guns at a glance, all of them were placed in the window in a grand manner, people came and went, some people took it out, and there was no obstruction, it was not at all like the foreign company he had seen before, but it was a little like a vegetable market.

Harpy was busy in the rounds, eager to use one person as three or four people, in a week's time, he recruited more than 20 people, and with a price of 5,000 silver dollars, he bought a villa near this bungalow, as a warehouse, mainly to sell all kinds of military equipment, in Shanghai, military equipment, is the hot spot among the hot spots, the price of the committee 1888, the German and American foreign firms than the general foreign firms, at least one percent lower, and the quality is excellent, it is a first-class product, the new army everywhere, most of the funds are insufficient, The choice is the old guns of various countries, but good things, will still be recognized, some elite troops, or private troops, often choose this, in the past few days, sales have been further released, the daily sales of firearms are close to 1500, bringing a lot of benefits to foreign banks.

However, in the past 10 days, the largest sales volume is not guns, but bullets and shells, in China, the consumption of firearms is far less than the consumption of shells and bullets, the gun has a certain range of dΓΉ above, and can be used for a long time, you don't see, the old sleeve more than 20 years ago, there are still people using it, but bullets and shells are absolute consumables, except for reloaded bullets, China's real bullet production line, there is no one.

When Feng Yuxiang entered, it was the busiest time for Harpy, who was commanding the guys to start shipping, and now the direction of delivery is Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong, all of which are 500 troops, among which Hubei, there are even 5 Makqin.

The shiny Makqin, with the luster of metal, this is a work of art, an absolute killer, even Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but stop and carefully observe this automatic firearm.
