Before being blasted off by Qin Lang, Machete had been active in the U.S.-Mexico border area for many years. McBride's collaboration lasted at least three years—the best evidence of Mrs. McBride's murder three years earlier—so he managed to amass a considerable fortune. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The box Qin Lang found contained 400 gold coins in the denomination of 100 US dollars, 20,000 US dollars in bills, and 35,000 Mexican pesos, in addition to fourteen bank deposit slips, with a total deposit of 153,000 Mexican pesos.

Although it is not clear what the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the Mexican peso is, Qin Lang still has the impression that before the Mexican peso began to depreciate sharply between 1994 and 1995, the exchange rate between the two seems to be 1:3.46, and if this exchange rate was still the same in the 19th century, then the peso he found was almost equivalent to more than 54,000 US dollars.

Plus the dollars in the box...... Well, more than 114,000 dollars, that's a lot of money.

"My God, I can't believe that Machete has so much money?" Duncan looked at the large handful of bills and gold coins placed on the table and felt his head a little dizzy. McBride's deposit was just over 87,000. ”

But in fact, Mr. McBride is richer than Machete. "Have you forgotten the jewels in the jewelry store, Duncan? Those things are worth a lot of money. O'Connor said. He walked to the side of the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and when he turned back to continue to "educate" Duncan, he found that Qin Lang was still staring at the box of zha medicine, as if thinking about something.

He's been like this since he came back from the desert.

"Are you still thinking about the medicine, Qin?" It is really rare to make Qin Lang fall into contemplation.

Qin Lang raised his head and shrugged his shoulders. "I still can't figure out what Machete is doing with so many zha pills in the place where he buried his deposits."

"Maybe he's trying to blow something up." Duncan said.

"But what is he trying to blow up? If he was going to rob the bank, then there was no need to use ZHA medicine at all. Whatever the robbery, you don't need to use zha drugs, unless Machete is going to rob the bank's vault - but he doubts Machete is that crazy.

And blowing up the vault is a high-tech job, and low-level blasters will blast the bills inside into the sky, but can Machete find a high-level directional blasting expert?

"Is it necessary for you to be so concerned about this, Qin?" O'Connor still didn't get it. Whatever Machete wanted to do, he was dead now and completely unworthy of wasting his time careing. "I think you should think about something else."

"For example?"

"Our company's products." O'Connor said, "You said last time that you're going to make a new rifle that uses your pointed-nosed bullets—"

Qin Lang looked at him. "yes, what's the problem?"

"I asked Miss McBride that none of the workers we recruited knew what a rotary pull-back bolt was." That's the problem, and it's a big one, and while the Springfield Arsenal is already producing the Kragg-Jorgensen M1892-style trap rifle that uses a rotary pull-back bolt machine, in the West, almost no one has seen anything like that yet.

And in the newly established Bushmaster-Firearms, only Qin Lang himself knows about the rotary rear pull bolt.

In other words, until the workers are familiar with the new bolt and have made the tools, they don't want to produce the new rifle. And this will take at least a few weeks.

"We can't wait like this forever, Qin." O'Connor emphasized. Although they had been waiting for half a month, and at least another half a month of waiting for the machine, he just didn't want the workers to sit idle.

Those people are all paid, and they can't be allowed to just take money and not do anything!

Qin Lang also agreed with him. He thought for a moment, and then said, "When the machine arrives, I will make some samples and tools to help the workers get familiar with the new bolt and the machining process." That's his forte, and he spent two summers in college in a craft workshop that produced firearms, and he also disassembled several rotary bolt-pull rifles. He was well aware of its structure, and the tools needed to produce it.

But O'Connor wasn't satisfied. "But we still can't get the product out there very quickly."

"Then let's start with a simple weapon." Qin Lang said. Whether it's designing or imitating a new gun, that's just a small thing, but automatic weapons can't - he doesn't know much about the operation of several automatic bolt machines.

"For example?"

"A new type of revolver that fires high-powered bullets." He had already thought of a very suitable thing, the "Anaconda" revolver produced by the Colt Company in 1955 that fired 0.357 caliber Magnum pistol cartridges, although it was impossible to completely copy it, but the technology of the revolver was already very mature, and what he wanted to do was to make a 0.357 caliber Magnum bullet and combine it with a pistol, and that's it.

Fortunately, although this high-powered bullet was rarely used, he remembered all its parameters, from the weight of the warhead, the size of the cartridge case to the weight of the propellant. It's easy to process it out.

"As soon as the machine arrives, I can make samples immediately." Qin Lang announced with confidence.

"Really? Qin—"

It was at this time that Rachel. McBride walked into the room and interrupted O'Connor. "Qin, the machine you want—" But she stopped as soon as she spoke.

She saw the gold coins and bills on the table.

"My God!" After a while, she screamed, "Where did you get all this money?" Wait, Qin, did you and O'Connor rob a bank today? "That's stupid! They had just settled down in San Diego and invested a lot of money to start a company, and now Qin Lang actually went to rob a bank? "Are you crazy, Qin?"

"Of course not." Qin Lang smiled bitterly and sighed. It is indeed a very bad thing to have a criminal record, and what is even worse is that she still knows about his past plans, which is really depressing.

"So, where did all this money come from?"

"It's Mr. Machete's deposit."

"Machete's deposit?" Rachel. McBride looked at him suspiciously, "How do you know where his deposit is?" ”

"It's a complicated question, but you can ask Sean." Qin Lang kicked the ball to O'Connor, and changed the topic by the way. "By the way, what did you want to say when you just came in? What happened to the machine I ordered? ”

Speaking of work, Rachel. McBride immediately let go of the doubts in his mind. "The machines and raw materials you ordered have just arrived partially."

"Really? Looks like I'm ready to get to work. "Of course, this kind of thing to make money has to work quickly, Qin Lang is ready to immediately start making samples and processing molds for the rotating rear pull bolt - of course, there are also pistols and Magnum bullets. He still needs something, though. "Rachel, can you go and order some more equipment and materials for the production of 0.38 [note] revolvers?"

"What?" She glared at him with an angry face, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"The last time the seller asked me if I wanted these things, he had them in stock, but I refused. And now you're going to ask me to go to him? I don't even know if he sold those things! "Rachel. McBride was really angry. "Didn't you have a complete plan beforehand, Qin? Since you're going to be the boss, you have to act like a leader who makes decisions! ”

"I'll pay attention to it later, miss." Qin Lang didn't know what to say. He deliberately ignored her accusations and prepared to leave immediately. "Sean, tell her about our search for Machete's treasure." He gave one last command, and quickly ran out of the room.

O'Connor's dissatisfied complaints came from behind him, but Qin Lang didn't hear anything, his attention was already focused on what he was about to do.

Piracy...... Imitation of the "Anaconda" revolver.

It's fun to do this kind of thing.
