Although he had never been here, this city Qin Lang was no stranger. In addition to indulging in guns, he also cared about other aspects of military affairs, and as the main naval base of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific direction, and home to a series of commands, including the command of the Third Fleet, he cared far more about San Diego than Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as other cities in California.

Construction of the city began as early as 1542, and later, the Spaniards turned it into a military fortress. In 1834, it became Mexican territory again - but Mexico did not rule it for long. Only twelve years later, the U.S. government used the military to make San Diego part of the United States of America, and in 1850 it was officially upgraded to a "city."

Of course, now San Diego is not yet a naval base for the United States. That would have to wait until 1920. Qin Lang felt that it was possible for him to witness the arrival of that day with his own eyes, as he had already decided to place his weapons company in this city.

This decision was made after a combination of factors and careful consideration. First of all, San Diego is very close to the border, twenty kilometers away is already Mexican territory, which makes it easy for them to escape in case of trouble; Secondly, San Diego was a port, which made it convenient for him to deliver weapons to foreign customers; In the end, Machete's riches are hidden on the other side of the border, and he and O'Connor are ready to find a time to get them out.

In addition, he also faced a practical problem, that is, the diesel fuel he carried was not enough for the truck to drive to the east - in fact, the place where Qin Lang wanted to go most was Florida, in addition to being more familiar with the environment there, Florida was also far away from their troubles, and it was easier to see beautiful women.

Although the social climate in the United States was still very conservative in 1893, the bikini was not born......

In addition, the anti-Chinese atmosphere in the West was much stronger than in the East, and Washington State even enacted a law in 1886 to expel all Chinese from the territory - otherwise he would have placed the company in Seattle, which was also a port city, close to the border, and far from California - which was certainly more comfortable in the East.

As for the central region, Houston in Texas or New Orleans in Louisiana, although they are much closer than Florida, Qin Lang is still worried that his truck will not be able to get there. Moreover, Houston is not a good ocean port; As for New Orleans, it would soon become the first base of mafia members in the United States as more and more Italian immigrants landed there.

Although he was neither afraid nor cared about or even a little willing to deal with mafia members, Qin Lang's purpose was to be an arms dealer, and he didn't want to be directly involved in the front line of the fight.

So he had to choose San Diego.

But the city also has a rather serious drawback - in addition to its proximity to Los Angeles, the city's lingua franca is not English, but Spanish, due to the overwhelming Spanish and Mexican population of the city......

"Looks like I need to learn another foreign language." Qin Lang sighed, then turned his head to look at Rachel, who was still pale. McBride -- Like O'Connor and Duncan, she couldn't stand the bumps of the truck, even though Qin Lang had been kind enough to reduce the speed to thirty kilometers per hour.

"I don't understand why only you can't stand it." He shook his head and pointed to Yi Shui, who was curiously looking at the city's style, "He doesn't have any problems." ”

"This shows that you are all monsters." In fact, she really wanted to say that "Chinese are monsters", but considering Qin Lang's temper, Rachel. McBride changed it to "you" anyway.

So Qin Lang just smiled. "Whatever you want, Miss McBride." He paused, looked at his surroundings twice, and asked, "What are we going to do now?" ”

"Let's go eat first." Duncan immediately offered his advice. From San Francisco to San Diego, he was eating MRE every day — and outrageously every time it was the weirdest "black bean and rice burrito" — and he felt like his stomach was about to collapse. Now he just wants to find a restaurant to eat.

And a Spanish or Mexican meal is a great temptation.

It's just that his advice is usually ignored. "I'll go through the formalities of setting up the company first, and then I'll order the machines and raw materials you need on your list." There is no doubt that Rachel. McBride is the kind of person who comes first in his career, and work is always before eating, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll take Yi Shui to cut the braids first, and then I'll take a look around." If you want to live in San Diego for a long time, you should choose a living environment with a good view, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and easy to retreat. And Qin Lang also knew very well that it was inconvenient for him to communicate with Rachel. McBride was active together. The bizarre combination of Chinese and blonde beauties is enough to attract the curious eyes of too many people, and Los Angeles is just one hundred and sixty kilometers away. Sheriff Johnson hears something, and it's a big problem.

Rachel. McBride nodded. In fact, she didn't want Qin Lang to be with her, not only would it attract the attention of others, but she was also a little afraid of him. "So be it, I'll go with O'Connor."

"Remember not to get the name of the company wrong, Miss McBride." Qin Lang reminded. The name of the company is the result of his plagiarism: Bushmaster-Firearms, a loyal customer of the weapons company founded in 1978, Qin Lang had little hesitation in choosing to name his company after it.

This is a bit shameful, and it also involves an attempt to attract the attention of the customer. Private companies in this era almost always bear the surname of their founders, and the arms industry is no exception - more typically, in the United States, Colt and Smith. Wiesen, and in Europe there are Mauser in Germany and Beretta in Italy. Now he has a very special name, and people who buy guns are more or less interested.

However, there is really no way to do this. First of all, it is impossible for Qin Lang to name the company after himself. It's not that it's unpleasant, but it's to circumvent the American laws of the era, and it's also to avoid attracting some people's attention -- similarly, O'Connor, Duncan, and Rachel can't be used directly. McBride's name.

And also can not use a combination of the first letter of their last name. The problem is obvious: combining the first letters of their last names together will end up with some meaningless simple letter combinations, which are obviously even more inappropriate to use as the company's name.

So, the end result was that their company became Bushmaster-Firearms.

"I just hope that when our potential customers see the name of the company, they don't associate it with anything else." Rachel. McBride shrugged, and then she left with O'Connor.

Now only Qin Lang, Duncan, and Yi Shui remain.

"Let's find a place to get the braid off the back of his head. Duncan, you'll have to help me in a minute. Qin Lang said to Duncan, and then, ignoring the inexplicable gaze he shot, turned his head to Yi Shui, who was still curiously looking at his surroundings. Easy water, come here. ”

"What's the matter?" Yi Shui didn't know that Qin Lang was about to cut off the braid on the back of his head, and Qin Lang had never mentioned it to him. Hearing the greeting, his first reaction was to eat - except for Qin Lang, everyone's stomach had been tortured to death by MRE, and they all wanted to change their recipes. "Are you going to eat?"

"It's not." Qin Lang walked up to Yi Shui, put his right hand on his shoulder, and said slowly, "Now, we are going to find a barber shop and cut the braid on the back of your head." ”

Yi Shui's face immediately changed.
