Chapter XIV: Machines and Weapons

Meng Chang entered the warehouse, saw a bunch of equipment messily put together, there are fixed molds, some milling, some with pointed, some with flutes, all kinds of things, piled up on the ground, at a glance is a pile of scrap iron, this is obviously a set of dismantled second-hand goods, has not been refurbished, Meng Chang estimated, Rouse saw that China was fighting, and he was jealous of other arms dealers, making a lot of money, and he couldn't help but enter some in his heart, it seems that he is lonely, there is no big capital, and he has entered the second-hand one, no one wants it, Meng Chang walked into the scrap iron pile, turned it over left and looked right, It was found that this bullet manufacturing line was ninety percent new, probably after it was removed, there was no maintenance, and when it arrived in Shanghai, Rouse did not have the energy to maintain and refurbish, and the longer it was annoying, the more dilapidated it looked.

"Mistermeng, I got this by asking someone to get it, it cost me most of my savings, and it is ninety percent new, I can sell it to you cheaply." When Rouse saw that Meng Chang looked carefully, he thought that there was a possibility of a deal, so he wanted to kill Meng Chang.

"Oh, no, I haven't seen what the bullet manufacturing line looks like, so I took a closer look, but I can't see it, it's just a pile of scrap iron, I guess no one wants it, my friend, I shouldn't be interested in this, it's just that he wants to make money, and he doesn't dare to buy a bunch of scrap iron back, don't you say, Mr. Law." Meng Chang knew what Rouse's idea was when he heard it, although he wanted it very much, but he didn't want to be the wrongdoer.

"Brother, how are these equipment, are you satisfied?" Mu Ou first arrived in front of Meng Chang.

"A few are okay, you can order some back," Meng Chang said.

"Mr. Rouse, I'm quite satisfied with your latest lathes and other equipment, and I can sell them for more money," Meng Chang asked.

"No, no Mistmeng, you see, mine is new, and they are all complete sets of equipment, if you pick the new ones, the old ones sell too slowly, if you want to buy them, you have to sell them, one new one with two old ones, so that the equipment behind me can be better sold," Rouse was anxious when he heard it, Meng Chang saw that the inspection just now was so detailed, and he knew that this Chinese was not easy to deceive.

"Brother, you are not short of money, if you want to do it, you can set up a bigger factory, what can you do with three or five pieces of equipment" Mu Ouchu knew that Meng Chang was going to bargain, but he still cooperated with Meng Chang and said.

"Brother, I don't have a lot of money, it's not the wind blowing, isn't it, one-third of these equipment are new, and the rest are refurbished equipment, the accuracy of processing can't keep up, and the effect is too slow." Meng Chang pretended to be embarrassed.

"Mistrou, you and Mistrom sum it up, I'm in a hurry to use the money now, so I want to dump the goods a few more times, I can add a little lower, the new machine is fifty thousand oceans, it has to be forty-five thousand, what do you think" Rolls was a little anxious.

Mu Ouchu pulled Meng Chang aside, and the two whispered for a while, and Mu Ouchu came to Rolls.

"Mr. Rouse, this opportunity can't be missed, this Meng Chang, the family has money, just came out to do things, love face, just want to set up a big factory, do big things, if you let him go today, in the encounter with such a rich buyer, but it is rare, he can eat all your equipment, if he thinks you are enough friends, use a little force, your next equipment, will be down" Mu Ou Chu said in a low voice and Law.

"If he can buy them all, he can still get ten points, and if it is lower, it won't make money, Mistermu, if the business is done, I will give you benefits" Rouse thought about it, summed it up in his heart, and agreed.

"Brother, he promised to be ten points lower, what do you think, I feel that the price is like this, about fifteen points cheaper than other trading houses, the key is that I have seen it, the equipment is better than other trading houses" Mu Ouchu came to Meng Chang again, and the two combined.

"Brother, you wait and tell him this, don't be cheap, let him build that set of bullet manufacturing lines to me, if he doesn't agree, you can tell him that you can book the next batch of goods, and you can also give a part of the deposit first, so that he can buy more equipment" Meng Chang had already considered it, and said to Mu Ouchu.

"Brother, didn't you say that those equipment are scrap metal, how can there be, I thought you were just asking for the price, so you were waiting here to get it" Mu Ouchu was a little surprised.

"That batch of equipment is indeed ninety percent new, but the maintenance is not good, it looks like scrap iron, people who come to enter the equipment do not understand, look at this, who dares to ask for it, just put it here, and it should be cheap for me."

In this way, after several trips back and forth, they finally ordered the same three times the goods in Meng Changyou, and paid one-third of the deposit to get the bullet manufacturing line, and then several people returned to Rouse's apartment, and Rouse opened a bottle of red wine.

"Come, Mistermu, we are old friends, Mistermont, it's nice to meet you as a new friend, come and toast to our success" Although Rouse felt a little less money, didn't he finally throw that mistake to others, and he also received a follow-up big order from Meng Chang, and he was very happy.

"Mr. Rouse, take the liberty of asking, I want to get some weapons, do you have a way, you know that our country is very chaotic now, our family is also big, just made a security regiment, now there are people, but weapons are very short, I came up to buy weapons, let Brother Mu say, I want to build a factory, anyway, there are people, my factory is watched, and I am not afraid of someone making trouble, you see if you have a way" Meng Chang drank some wine, let's see if there is a way for Rouse.

"Mistermont, if you buy a weapon, it is still the best in our Germany, when I bought it last time, I asked people to bring two hundred rifles, and a hundred pistols and corresponding ammunition, but the pistols are very good to sell and I have bought forty or fifty of them, if you want them, I will let people bring them over for you to see" Rolls looked at it, and there was business, and he was not happy.

"Okay, where are you going to take a look, if it's useless, I want it, I can fill a lot of gaps" Meng Chang's all-encompassing rich second generation face.

"Butler, butler, go to the back warehouse and bring one of my weapons each, Mistromun, you wait a minute, I have a few samples in my house, you can see what the end, I will send it to you together" Rolls called the housekeeper while explaining to Meng Chang.

Where did the gun come from for a while, Meng Chang saw that they were all new guys, the pistol was a large mirror with twenty shots, Meng Chang took it in his hand and clicked it, and disassembled the gun into a pair of parts with three or two clicks, and then looked at it carefully, they were all original Germans, whether it was the inside or the pattern of the appearance, they were all good boutiques. Then he loaded it back again, and took the spear, which was a Mauser 98, this gun was a classic gun, Meng Chang took it in his hand, and fiddled with it a few times.

"Yes, Mr. Rolls, I really have the goods in your hands if I don't get to you first, what treasures are there yet" Meng Chang was very satisfied, the machinery and equipment, and weapons were all there, and there were some chemical equipment left, and when the chemical equipment was completed, he could go home.

"Mistermeng, you have hollowed out my brother, there is nothing" Rolls was a little helpless, he looked at Meng Chang and wanted everything, just like the aunt who was sweeping the goods on the street.

"Mr. Law, on your order, add some weapons to me, can you get a machine gun, cannon or something" Meng Chang said casually, but it startled Law,

"Cough, cough, cough, Mistermont, you are laughing, if it is a machine gun, I can still get you a little, cannon, there is no way, I have no relationship in this regard" Rolls Jean choked a little, this Meng Chang really dared to say, can anyone do a cannon?

"Mr. Rolls, don't refuse yet, you then, go back to Germany to make a relationship, it's all about making money, I think there will be a way, if you get cannons and shells, how many are there, how much do I want, money is not a problem" Meng Chang is now very rich in the second generation, and he is coaxing.

"Okay, I'll do my best, Mistermun, shall we talk about the payment for this time," said Rouse, wiping his sweat.

"Okay, you want a silver ticket, a cashier's check" Meng Chang reached out and took the bag from Liu Qinghou's hand and asked Rolls.

"Cashier's check, it's more convenient," Rouse said. Rouse took the pen and did the math.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand silver dollars for machinery and equipment, plus one million six hundred and one thousand silver dollars for the next batch of advances, and twenty thousand silver dollars for guns, a total of one hundred and sixty thousand silver dollars, even if I send you the bullets, Mist Meng, you can take a look" Rolls took the bill to Meng Chang.

"Mr. Sixty, I will give you a promissory note of 1.7 million marriage, the 70,000 yuan is an advance payment for weapons, I want as many as you get, especially heavy weapons, and you help me transport them to Zhengzhou, and transport them back safely in the name of your German comptoir, what do you think" Meng Chang took out a promissory note of one million and seven promissory notes of one hundred thousand, and handed it to Rouse from Citibank, all of which were the money that Meng Chang hid the iron rod in the Mukden gun.

"Okay, Mistermeng, if you are happy, I will give you free transportation to Zhengzhou, and I will shoot a German from a trading house to follow, if there is trouble, you let him deal with it." As soon as Rouse saw that Meng Chang was simply not the owner of the money, for the sake of future business, he agreed.

"Mistermu, Mistemun, I'm in for a treat at noon today, and we're going to celebrate," said Rouse.

In this way, after having dinner at Law's apartment, and when I got home, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and Mu Ouchu called Lawrence, who had no time today, and made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning.
