Chapter 13: Luck Is Really Good

Mu Ouchu was very excited, and he was lucky today, and several things were settled.

"Brother, you're lucky, things are going well today, I saw that German Rouse and Frenchman Lawrence, they just have a batch of equipment in their hands." Mu Ouchu said excitedly, picked up the wine glass, and ordered some red wine, "Come brother, celebrate." Meng Chang rolled his eyes, what are you celebrating, you can make it clear, you will be happy when you patronize it.

"Brother, you should talk about it, it makes me angry" Meng Chang hurried up dissatisfiedly, Mu Ouchu had a small problem with speaking, he liked the big brother's small suspense, and let people cooperate with him.

"Today, I first made an appointment with Rouse, met at the Richard Hotel, I haven't talked to him about this matter, Rouse asked me to help him, now the form of Germany is starting to improve, but, the beginning of wartime economic management, the income of each family is low, especially the merchants who used to be trade-based, especially the Jews, are the most affected, Rouse is a Jew, but he has a good relationship with the military, and it will not affect him for the time being, so he took out all his savings and began to resell a large number of machinery and equipment to China, There are also some second-hand machinery and equipment, and I heard that he still has some guns. Mu Ouchu took a sip of wine and continued.

"I asked roughly, most of the equipment you want is available, he is now in a hurry to get rid of it and get the money, and then continue to pour things from Germany, I made an appointment with him, go to his warehouse tomorrow to see, you go with me, see if the equipment and your mind, and if you want anything new, you can book with Rouse," Meng Chang was overjoyed when he heard it,

"My brother is worthy of being a master, one out of the horse and three of them, I originally thought it would take half a month to come to Shanghai, so it seems that it will be done in a few days, and now there is still a mess at home waiting for me to go back to do it," Meng Chang answered very well.

"At six o'clock in the evening, Lawrence, a Frenchman, asked me to go to Paramount, and as soon as I heard it, Lawrence must have something to ask me, these gringos, they can't afford to be early, there is nothing to do, you look for him, just like the uncle. I arrived at Paramount and Lawrence arrived first with a couple of Frenchmen. After chatting for a while, Lawrence asked me if I was familiar with the countryside in China, I said that I was too familiar, my family used to be in the countryside, I asked him what was the matter, and he asked me to help him collect the bristles, which is now worth a lot of money abroad, and now the situation in Europe is very unstable, and all countries are actively preparing for war, and he said that this bristles are military supplies, and they are sold directly to the army, and the price is high, and they do not owe money. One of his uncles was in charge of logistics in the French army, he contracted this business, and now the supply is not enough, so he is looking for people in Shanghai, I have bought some equipment from him before, so he remembers me, and when he calls today, he thinks that I will collect bristles for him. But Mu Ou was very tired at the beginning, and after speaking, he poured some wine and drank before sitting on the sofa.

"By the way, brother, you haven't eaten, just thinking about running errands, I forgot to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you" Mu Ouchu remembered what he said when he left in the afternoon.

"Brother, we've all eaten, and Mama Liu made it, it's very hearty. What about Lawrence's chemical equipment, did you ask?" Meng Chang hurriedly received.

"I asked, he had a lot of instruments and equipment at that time, but a Shandong manufacturer ordered, a few days to pick up the goods, the deposit was also given, I came back to discuss with you and you, see what to do, to wait for the next batch of two months later" Mu Ouchu said a little hesitantly.

"Brother, in that case, didn't he ask you about collecting bristles, you promised him, I'll go down and do it for you, rural affairs, I'm more familiar than you, go back and let the patriarch shoot dozens of people, specifically collect bristles, our family has pigs fed, bristles have been thrown away before, this can also make some money for the villagers." Then I talked to him about the equipment, and it was done. Meng Chang saw that he couldn't wait for two months, and if he wanted to find a way to take down this batch of equipment first, he could spend a little more money.

"Okay, let's finish the equipment tomorrow, you go with me, I don't believe that this old devil can't be handled" Mu Ouchu said through gritted teeth.

After chatting a few words, Meng Chang saw that Mu Ouchu had been running for a day, and hurriedly persuaded him to rest, but he didn't say anything all night.

Wait for two days, get up early, Meng Chang boxed in principle, and then ran to the roof to practice qigong, now the second layer is almost full, and when he breaks through the third layer, it will be difficult for ordinary bullets to hit him, and the third layer will have a strong spiritual sense, and the flexibility of the body will increase significantly, and the internal force is not now to increase eyesight, hearing is so simple, it can be used against the enemy. On the third layer, there is a set of palm techniques called "Tianluo Palm", and when you go down, ordinary people will die next to each other, and they will die if they touch it.

At eight o'clock, Mu Ouchu came out of the room, and today there was another big thing to do, Mu Ouchu dressed up, changed into a new white suit, wore a bow tie, combed his hair shiny, and held a civilization stick.

"Brother, come and have some breakfast, we are going out and meet at nine o'clock"

"Okay, Liu Qinghou and I will go today, the others are at home, they are not allowed to go out, if there is anything to do, wait for me to come back" Meng Chang explained to a few of them, and after eating, he took Liu Qinghou and Mu Ouchu to the warehouse and called three rickshaws.

"His warehouse is on the Huangpu River, and it takes about half an hour," Mr. Mu said as he got into the car.

Arriving at the warehouse, Rouse was already waiting at the door of the warehouse.

"Mister, Rolls, hello, I've kept you waiting" Mu Ou first arrived in front of the leading German, and the two hugged each other, which made Meng Chang feel a chill.

"Let me introduce you to you, Mistermeng, my brother, who has no money to spend, so he wants to build a small factory to play, if there is no problem with your goods today, he will accept a part" Mu Ouchu pointed to Meng Chang and introduced him to Rolls.

"Hello, Mistermeng, they all call me Rouse, I have a lot of equipment, you can't imagine it, it's all German boutique" Meng Chang pouted, but also boutique, you can not give me tatters It's good, at that time China was a delicious cake in various countries, Chinese, is synonymous with money, profit, easy to deceive. A lot of unscrupulous profiteers refurbished foreign replacement machinery and second-hand things, and the original ones that are not particular are as far as China. At that time, China was generally hell and heaven on one side, and the new capitalists could make money as long as they got their hands on the equipment. So, there are a lot of don't lie.

"Okay, let's take a look at the equipment first, Mr. Law" Meng Chang nodded, now he is the gold master, Rouse is in a hurry to get rid of it, Meng Changxin said, mine take the point, don't look like you haven't seen the world. It is also true that Meng Chang has never seen any advanced equipment.

"Okay, Mistermont, I hope there's the machine you need, come on, open the door" After the door opened, Rouse led the way in and walked to a few lathes.

"This is the latest lathe, which can process metal with a maximum diameter of 300 mm and a length of 700 mm, with a high precision, which can reach 0.05 mm" Rouse touched a new lathe and said, Meng Chang took a look, there are twelve lathes, three are new, and the rest are refurbished.

"Mr. Rolls, can I try this lathe," Meng Chang turned around and said.

"Mistermen, if you really want it, you can try" Rouse sold things eagerly, and he couldn't care about anything, before, no Chinese dared to make such a request.

"If the accuracy and so on are all right, I'll surprise you, Mr. Rolls."

Meng Chang picked up a long iron bar next to him, and stuck it on the lathe, just now he felt that there was no problem with the maximum processing size, and now he looked at the accuracy of the processing.

Meng Chang first rounded the iron bar, then a scale, a scale of continuous car, more than a dozen scales, and then took out the level, axis meter, vernier caliper, repeated measurement, for about half an hour, Meng Chang threw the iron bar. With a smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Rolls, I must say that the Germans are very strict in mechanical engineering,"

Rouse looked at Meng Chang with a smile on his face, listened to his praise of the Germans, and thought, there should be no problem with this business, and then looked at milling machines, drilling machines, and grinding machines, there are more than a dozen, which seem to be matched, all of them are new, and the rest are refurbished machines, Meng Chang finished reading, and saw that there was a small warehouse behind, Meng Chang asked with a smile.

"Mr. Rolls, what other good things do you have in that warehouse, can I take a look, if it suits me, I can order more"

"Oh, that's a mistake, that you won't want" As soon as Rouse heard Meng Chang mention the small warehouse, he was troubled, and the contents of the house were his biggest failed investment this time.

"Ah, then, can you introduce Mr. Laws?" Meng Chang asked reluctantly.

"Oh, it's a bad decision, it's a bullet press, the whole bullet production machine, cost me most of my savings, I would have negotiated a buyer, but that hateful liar, I'd rather break the contract than break it" Rolls was heartbroken.

"Oh, ah, can I take a look, maybe I can find a buyer for you, but mine will take a look at things first" Meng Chang was overjoyed, and said in his heart, today's luck is really good, it seems that his trip to Shanghai will be completed successfully.
