Chapter 259: The Great Purchase
The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley for a long time.
Zhu Daolin, who had completed the 12-round shooting, did not look at the chest target full of holes 30 meters in front of him, but looked at the beautifully shaped silver-white revolver in his hand for a long time, with a happy and satisfied smile on his face.
"How does it feel?" Duan Deming asked proudly.
Zhu Daolin said with a smile: "It feels very good, I didn't expect the effect to be very different after the barrel increased by 15 mm, the muzzle beating amplitude is much smaller than I expected, the firing range has increased by nearly ten meters, the grip is very comfortable, the bolt is responsive, the trigger damping is just right, the whole shooting process has a clear and smooth feeling, in addition to the objective reasons of the bullet itself, the overall performance is not inferior to the police revolver just equipped a few years ago, very good!" How many bullets are there? β
"My eldest brother and I tried our best to run a few places and beg for help, and finally got together 3,000 rounds for you to save, and you don't want to do it anymore, you better find a way to make it yourself, anyway, you have to make paper shells for this extended revolver, otherwise it's just a ......decoration."
"If it's really difficult, I'll think of a way for you to help you put together a production line, and it's convenient to do anything with a steam engine." Duan Deming replied with a big grin.
Zhu Daolin inserted the two revolvers in his hand into the special leather holster: "Put it with the bullets, and buy a few scrapped containers in the provincial capital tomorrow, and put them into the container together with the guns of 910 wooden boxes and 200 boxes of accessories, and I will transport them away the night after tomorrow, is 6 boxes enough?" β
Duan Deming calculated for a moment: "It's basically enough, plus 5,000 square meters of chain mail, it is estimated that it will cost 9 to 10 boxes, tomorrow I will go into the city with you to buy as many containers as possible and come back, if you can't use it up, you can keep it for later, the quality almost doesn't matter." Come back and fix it......"
"Let's talk about helmets, if I don't have any other opinions, I'll just make it according to the universal model I just determined."
"Let's produce, although it is a bit like the German M35 steel helmet, but the shape and curvature are very good, which is more in line with our aesthetic habits. The detachable protective mask is doubled in production, the mask you stamped with thin steel plate is very practical, the wolf head and grimace on it are very beautiful, it is no problem to resist sharp arrows thirty meters away, and it can be removed when not in use, it is very thoughtful, I definitely can't think of such an ingenious solution. Zhu Daolin was sincerely admired.
Duan Deming was so proud that he took Zhu Daolin to his father's old-fashioned courtyard for a drink, boasting as he walked about how he was about to use the blue-baking technique in the production of steel helmets and face shields. How to prevent rust and how to sparkle in the cold.
Entering the ordinary and beautiful courtyard full of flowers and plants, Zhu Daolin finally saw more than 20 people of the old Duan family, young and old, because he did not expect that there were so many children, and the gifts temporarily purchased in the provincial capital were not enough for the children, Zhu Daolin was very embarrassed.
Duan Deming, who was in a happy mood, introduced his young, beautiful, fair-skinned fiancΓ©e to Zhu Daolin, and called his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law from the table inside halfway through the drink to discuss the long-term purchase of rice, corn and other grain crop seeds.
Several female generals have been working on the farm for many years and have done small business. He is very familiar with local seeds, and he has counted dozens of them in a row. You talk about the advantages and disadvantages of various seeds, and in the end, even the three high-yield sweet potatoes and potatoes that Zhu Daolin can't make up his mind about are also decided.
At dawn the next day, Duan Deming and Zhu Daolin drove to the provincial capital, and shortly after work, the two arrived at the familiar railway service company again.
The fat manager was happy when he saw the two, and took the two to the back yard with a polite sentence. pointed to the more than 30 scrapped containers neatly stacked in the corner: "Take all the 5,000 without invoicing."
Zhu Daolin and Duan Deming went to check and found that the quality of this batch of scrapped containers was indeed better than the previous batch, and it was worth the price, so they immediately bought it after looking at each other.
When counting the money and issuing receipts, Zhu Daolin quietly asked the fat manager: "Can you get more scrap boxes of this quality?" β
The fat manager was very interested when he heard this. pulled Zhu Daolin to sit down inside, and told Zhu Daolin in a low voice: "As long as you add 500 yuan each, I will transfer you another 30 from various marshalling stations in the province within 30 days." β
Zhu Daolin didn't say a word, took out a wad of money from his satchel and stuffed it into his hand: "This is to thank the elder brother for his hard work, not included in the payment, the elder brother knows the phone number of the small section, and the 30 boxes are all together to find him, and the quality is inferior as long as the price is right." β
The fat manager was overjoyed, quickly put away the bribe of the whole five thousand, approached Zhu Daolin and promised in a low voice: "20 days is enough, when the time comes, I will send a car directly to the factory in a small section, if you want to find me in the future, the scrap box of the railway is not enough, I can transfer it from the side of the road, and then go to several large military factories around to buy it back, as long as you don't issue an invoice, even if it is not to the scrapping period, there will be a lot of scrapped, haha!" β
After lunch, Duan Deming drove back to the factory with the convoy of 32 containers, Zhu Daolin, with the help of the security captain of the grain storage and transportation warehouse, invited five 15-ton mud trucks to start picking up the goods, and the dirty mud trucks transported bags of 100 kilograms of aged corn from the granary to the rented warehouse 800 meters away, drove into the warehouse courtyard and turned around, the rear of the car fell to the small platform in front of the warehouse, raised the body to directly unload the 25 tons of grain in the sacks, and returned to the grain storage and transportation warehouse to continue loading.
From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., five mud trucks made an average of 14 trips back and forth, transporting a total of 1,400 tons of corn, each of whom received 1,200 yuan in freight and 300 yuan in hard work.
Early the next morning, Zhu Daolin used the local mobile phone he had just bought to inform Duan Deming, saying that he was very busy today and was afraid that he would have to go out, so Duan Deming didn't have to come over.
Duan Deming was also very busy, and promised to pick up Zhu Daolin early tomorrow morning before hanging up the phone.
Not long after Zhu Daolin made the call, yesterday's five mud truck drivers came to him, and brought 2 more companions, a total of 7 mud trucks to transport corn for Zhu Daolin.
Zhu Daolin happily agreed, followed one of the cars to the grain storage and transportation warehouse, completed the pick-up procedures at the door shop to buy two Yuxi, gave them to the enthusiastic security captain, and then walked back to the rented warehouse on the edge of the provincial highway at the intersection, before he could drink half a bottle of mineral water, the first mud truck full of bulging sacks was gone, skillfully turned around and reversed, brushed the lala and unloaded the 24 tons of bags of corn, and drove away without putting down the body.
As soon as the mud truck was discharged from the hospital door, the 24 tons of bagged corn unloaded on the platform disappeared without a trace, only to see the tall Zhu Daolin leaning against the warehouse door behind the platform, comfortably turning the diamond ring on his left wrist, closing his eyes and recuperating.
At 5:50 p.m., the 2,500 tonnes of corn and 700 tonnes of flour on the bill of lading were all shipped, and the rest had to wait for the next visit.
On the side of the road outside the courtyard, Zhu Daolin happily paid 2,300 yuan to each driver, left the mobile phone numbers of the two veteran drivers who kept thanking him, closed the empty warehouse iron door, walked to the intersection and took a bus into the city center, found a four-star hotel to open a room, took a bath, soaked in two buckets of instant noodles and went to sleep.
