Chapter 51

When night fell, the Huangpu River at night was like a giant beast shrouded in darkness, this time Yang Yuanzhao did not travel alone, and called Zheng Daniu, Zheng Daniu's burly figure, in Shanghai at night, was more deterrent, and the two came to the warehouse rented in the morning.

"Da Niu, you wait here, I'll go in and get something!" Yang Yuanzhao was at the door of the warehouse and said to Zheng Daniu.

"Yes?" Zheng Da Niu was a little strange, but he didn't follow, as a bodyguard, ensuring the safety of the master is the key, but obedience is also an important characteristic of the bodyguard, before contact, Zheng Da Niu knew that Yang Yuanzhao was not a boy like Yang Yue, his small body was full of strength, and he couldn't deal with him at all if he was idle for three or five strong men, not to mention that he also had a pistol in his hand.

The warehouse under the night, even more dilapidated, except for the big lock on the door is brand new, the others are particularly messy, 800 yuan has been paid, the original warehouse owner recruited the old man, has already left, ordered the Harpy to recruit the guards, also need to be in place until tomorrow, this is just an empty room, at this moment, no one pays attention to this at all.

Yang Yuanzhao entered the warehouse like a civet cat, passed through rows of rooms, and entered the innermost, the most solid, and the warehouse with the best conditions. Just in line with his thoughts.

This warehouse will be a very huge aspect of his collection of funds, if he completely sells gold, it will attract the attention of others, besides, the role of gold is greater, China's gold reserves are not rich, in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years of the world economy, gold reserves, a certain amount of gold, represents the country's credit, even if there is an all-in-one machine, can decompose every small amount of gold in the ore, a large outflow, not Yang Yuanzhao wants to see.

Find Harpy, find a reason for a large number of machines, and on the other hand, you also need to get Harpy out of the horse and do something he can't and can't do, the arms deal, is one of them, and it is the most profitable.

What China lacks most in this era is all kinds of weapons, and the formation and training of new armies in various places is almost one after another, and the demand for weapons is almost endless, and in this case, weapons are best sold.

Today, in the Lihe Foreign Company, all the weapons have been copied, there are several kinds of rifles, the choice of rifles, of course, is the Committee 1888, and the recently appeared Mauser, which was only contacted after arriving in Shanghai, absolute high quality and high price, such weapons are destined not to be produced in large quantities, Yang Yuanzhao spent the afternoon time, ordered the all-in-one machine to produce cannons, Mauser just made hundreds of them casually, and other Makqin will also make some, and there are some cannons.

Makqin is good to say, with Yang Yuanzhao's output, you can produce hundreds of them a day, in China, this thing does not sell much, not as good as a rifle, after all, the original rifle bullet is a huge limit, once the machine gun is turned on, the bullets poured every minute will also be daunting, so in the inventory of the all-in-one machine, the most is the rifle.

The cannon is a big guy, a 75 cannon, 405 kg, because of the limitation of length and weight, an hour, Yang Yuanzhao can produce up to three, 75 cannons were made in the afternoon, and now there are not many that can be made per hour, and the final product is only 36 guns, and the remaining part is that he made some rifles, all of which are new Mauser, and the power is much greater than that of the committee 1888.

Guns are easy to do, level 4 Yang Yuanzhao, can be made at one time 8 cubic meters, 8000 cubic meters, is tens of thousands of guns, these are already on the road, Yang Yuanzhao made zuò, now, just stacked in different boxes, in addition to these, is some artillery and some basic logistics devices, in this case, to pile up the entire warehouse, it is still more difficult, there is no need for the time being, in the future, will gradually pile up here, now these, a total of 120,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns, and 36 guns and the like, almost, is a few million, enough for Harpy to complete the initial accumulation of funds.

After doing this, Yang Yuanzhao carefully locked the door, no one knew that this Huangpu River, in a relatively remote warehouse, was now stacked with coveted equipment.

Zheng Daniu was at the door, smoking a cigarette boringly, when he saw Yang Yuanzhao coming out, he threw away the cigarette, and asked in a low voice, "Is Young Master Yang okay, can we go back?" ”

This place is a little off, in Zheng Daniu's opinion, this place is not very safe, it is best to leave early, Yang Yuanzhao nodded, followed Zheng Daniu, and went back.

The next day, when Yang Yuanzhao took Harpy to this warehouse again, Harpy was stunned by the qiē in front of him, in the huge warehouse, there was only a small corner, but the mountain of boxes seemed to be all firearms, and these firearms were the most sought-after in the whole of China.

Harpy is an unlucky guy who just came to China on a whim, but he didn't expect that in China, things like pianos are not popular at all. But after arriving in China, at many times, he found that what was popular in China was actually firearms, and the governors and governors in various places were training new armies, and the demand was huge, even if it was an old gun from abroad, there could be a market, not to mention a brand-new rifle.

Suddenly, he felt that this noble man who suddenly appeared seemed to have some kind of mystery, guns in the world of this era, are hard currency, no matter what country you get, you can exchange it for the mainstream currency of this country, in the Qing Kingdom, even more so, there are as many bandits as cattle hair, rich and unkind landlords, plus endless caravans, the gap in guns is very large, even the honest shotgun more than a hundred years ago, there are people who want it, let alone these.

He stepped forward and opened a box, which was heavy and black, and it seemed to be made of steel.

Among Yang Yuanzhao's all-in-one machine, the most stored thing is steel, which was made casually at that time, which did not fit well with the rifle, but it was enough to put down these guns, and in each box, a dozen guns were put in.

These boxes, Harpy was even more surprised, brand-new rifles, exuding a strong smell of gun oil, he took out a handful casually, slightly rusty manipulation, with his identity as a soldier, I feel that these guns are very good, not as rough as the Chinese textile Hanyang made, look down at the chamber of the gun, the rifling is shiny, it looks like it is made by the first-class military industry.

The style of the gun is Commission 1888, it is possible that these firearms, all of which are imported from Germany, look at the dense boxes, in each box, there are a total of 12 guns, and the number of boxes here is almost impossible to count.

"Don't count, there are a total of 10,000 boxes, a total of 120,000 guns, and 1,000 Makqin and a large number of artillery, you can sell it if you look at it, it is estimated that these can almost allow you to raise some of the money!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly.

"There should be tens of millions, and there will be certain problems with sales, but leave it to me, no problem!" Harpy patted his chest and said, for a foreign business group, it is nothing, Harpy does not have many connections here, but in China, even in the United States, there are still certain classmates and friends, these together, will form a huge force, will allow him to get involved in the field of arms.

"How long will it take?"

This, Harpy hesitated, after following Yang Yuanzhao, he found more and more this, looking too young and excessively young, has a strength, far more than a big chamber of commerce, just so many rifles, even in Germany, it is not easy to get, Harpy is also one of the Jewish class, but in the whole of Germany, can get 120,000 rifles at one time, I am afraid that it is a minority of the few, even if it is the committee 1888, it is also the German equipment that has just been replaced, in the Far East, This is the first time that there has been a large number of occurrences.

Yang Yuanzhao waved his hand casually and said: "You first build the foreign bank, after the foreign bank is built, you have to go abroad, before that, raise funds as much as possible." ”

"Go abroad, but I don't have this channel, can I go out alone?"

"Of course I don't go out alone, I'll solve the problem of goods, you go to get a cargo ship first, you need to go to sea next month, I need you to set up a network in Europe and the United States, and there are a lot of things that need to be done."

"Okay, no problem." At this time, Harpy was already excited and couldn't do it, he found out that the previous treatment was more generous than he imagined, and the power in the hands of this young man was far more terrible than he thought the most, but such a warehouse of arms, even if it was sold at the market price, under the profit of 3%, it was 3 million marks, and he could get a 1% dividend, which was 30,000, which was as much as five times higher than the previous monthly salary, and 500 marks in itself was an absolute high salary, and it increased so much, what does this mean

Next, Harpy is like a loaded clockwork, began to quickly look for this kind of talent, these talents are a lot in Shanghai, when he was down, he met a lot, now, just gather these people together, the feeling of being rich is very different, Harpy almost used the remaining funds to recruit people and channels, there are 120,000 rifles as a backing, what else is there to worry about, just sell a batch of arms, money will come again.
