"After cutting the price of the 'Python' by 30 percent, there has been some increase in sales. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Rachel. McBride went to the factory workshop to find Qin Lang. He had been making prototypes for two weeks, rarely left, and was a little indifferent to the company's situation, and she felt compelled to report something to him, "We sold 2,900 pistols in two weeks. ”

Qin Lang, who was processing the rifling of the pistol, raised his head. "You see, the price cut is a smart move, Rachel."

"I think your special limited edition is the smartest move." "After I announced it, it only took us three days to sell 1,500," she said. In addition, some people asked if it was possible to increase production. ”

"How so?" He was surprised. Although the announcement of the old model "Anaconda" pistol as a limited edition of only 2,000 units can stimulate people's desire to buy it to a certain extent, the effect will definitely not be so obvious. Moreover, in three days, the news can reach Los Angeles at most, and the number of potential consumers is by no means large.

But all the "limited-edition" pistols were bought by San Diego natives. "They are all gun shop owners, and they plan to wait for them to increase in value before selling them." Rachel shrugged, "These people are shrewd. ”

"Savvy people do business." Qin Lang looked at her with a smile. She's a shrewd person, and she's a woman, and most men can't choose someone like her as their partner...... Of course, he and she are just business partners, and they are just as shrewd. "You definitely didn't sell the last hundred remaining limited edition 'Pythons'."

If it were him, Qin Lang would definitely not sell the last hundred "pythons". Although they are not the best in terms of quality, everything has the same problem, the rarer the quantity, the more expensive it is. As soon as the "Python" became very famous, the value of the "Limited Edition", which numbered only 2,000, would soar rapidly.

Only a fool would sell them all.

And Rachel. McBride is certainly not a fool. "Of course, how could I possibly sell them all?" And she had other ideas, "Qin, why don't we make some selected 'one in a hundred' and one in a thousand 'pythons'?" ”

"Of course we're going to make a selection of pistols, but not yet." Now there are too many novices in the factory, the quality of the pistols is not stable, and the production of selected pistols is a little earlier. Moreover, neither the Grand Viper Weapons Company nor the "Anaconda" pistol are still not well-known, and even the production of selected pistols is unlikely to be very expensive.

And the high price is the sole purpose of making select pistols - at least in the eyes of Qin Lang and Rachel.

"So be it." She nodded, turning the conversation back to sales, "We also have an order for nine hundred pistols, half of which are from the San Francisco Police Department. "Police in California are the largest group buying pythons, with San Diego, Los Angeles and Sacramento police departments buying in large quantities, in addition to small quantities being ordered by some town police stations.

But this is not to be surprising. The "Anaconda" pistol was originally one of the weapons of the American police, and it was not until 1986 that the LAPD and LASD in the Los Angeles area announced that it would be replaced with a Beretta 92F semi-automatic pistol. Smith & Wesson technicians researched the .357 Magnum pistol cartridge to provide an excellent police, self-defense, and hunting cartridge. However, this also limits its customer base, and there are many people in the United States and other parts of the world who prefer large-caliber pistols.

"Garcia. De la Vega gave me the news that there was a Mexican who was ready to order us two thousand pistols, but it had to be .44 caliber. ”

Garcia. According to Duncan's investigation, De La Vega, the barbershop owner who sold Qin Lang fake passports, had extensive and close ties to gangsters in California, Arizona, and Mexico — and it was very "interesting" that he also sold the fake passports that Machete and his men used when they entered the United States. So as soon as Rachel said that, Qin immediately thought of the gangsters in Mexico.

"Mexican gangsters?"

She shook her head. "I think it's possible that it's someone who is dissatisfied with the government." Since 1976, Mexico has been in the grip of the Houthi. Morality. Pull. Cruise. Bofirio. Dias. While President Ferry's dictatorship was not all that annoying – and Mexico did become more modern under his rule – it is not surprising that there was dissatisfaction with the government, given the constant depreciation of the Mexican peso and the continued encroachment of rural land by the plantation owners.

However, the most likely possibility is that the buyer is a Mexican arms dealer.

But what the real situation was, Rachel didn't know, and he didn't want to know, and Qin Lang did the same. Arms dealers care about how they sell their weapons, not who buys them. "Let de la Vega bring the message back, if that Mexican can wait a week, I can provide him with a high-powered pistol." He said. "Ask again, if he needs a rifle."

"Okay, Qin." And so it was settled. She went to contact Garcia. Della Vega, while Qin Lang continued to stay in the workshop to process his sample gun. But she soon walked back again. "Two more things. The Mr. Browning you are going to see has telegraphed back that he will visit our company in San Diego in a month or two at the right time. ”

As long as he was willing to go to San Diego, the problem was solved. Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief. "What else?"

"You'd better restrain your little friend, Qin." She was referring to Yi Shui, of course, "He's been hanging out with Sean's men all day lately, and he's going to be a fast gunner like you soon." ”

"You don't like it, Rachel?" Qin Lang wanted to laugh. Yishui is now the company's special test gun machine, and he is testing the official products of sample guns and random inspections. This was done on the one hand to make his life seem less decadent, and on the other hand, to practice his marksmanship. Of course, this also meant that he spent a lot of time hanging out with O'Connor and the company guards under his command.

But it also allows him to make more friends. So, from any point of view, it's a good idea.

But Rachel doesn't think it's exactly a good idea. She has no objection to Yi Shui being a tester of firearms, but the guards hired by the company, they are good at nothing but shooting at others, and it would be too bad if Yi Shui became like them.

She frowned and said, "I think he should learn a little more instead of messing around with a bunch of illiterate gunmen all day." ”

"Well, you can arrange it, Rachel." Qin Lang shrugged. It's not that he doesn't want to care about Yi Shui's education, it's just that most of the time, that stubborn fool prefers to obey her arrangement. And, since she behaves so zealously, why not give her the responsibility?

She would never refuse.

"Good." Rachel did not refuse, "I immediately arranged a tutor for Yi Shui. ”

Then she left.

In the following week, Qin Lang completed a sample of a .44 Magnum caliber pistol and a new sample of a rifle, and then he began to develop a new model of pistol. And Rachel. In addition to continuing to keep an eye on the company's sales, McBride also found seven tutors for Yi Shui - she also served as his English teacher - so Yi Shui's life changed to a full life of "pain and happiness".

Then, another week passed. After the majority of Americans celebrated Independence Day, Duncan . Mr. Sandy has created a new problem for Qin Lang and Rachel.

He announced that he would set up a gunsmiths' association within the company.
