Harrison took Zhang Renjie and the others to a sample showroom, where there were many kinds of weapons in one corner of the showroom. There were seven or eight types of rifles, and there were two small boxes with pistols.

Harrison picked up a rifle and said, "This is the Snyder rifle, which was used in the first two years of the British Empire, and now some of the army is equipped with it." Even now your Qing Dynasty army is also equipped with a lot of these rifles, each rifle only costs eighteen taels of silver, if you buy more, I can also give you a better price! ”

Zhang Renjie has no interest in this old-fashioned rifle at all, this is an old gun of what year, and the performance is too poor. "Mr. Harrison, don't show me these old guns, those new ones!!"

Harrison smiled and continued: "Look at this one again, this is the Martini-Henry rifle, caliber eleven"

"Stop, I said Mr. Harrison, it seems that you are not sincere at all, don't always sell me outdated weapons, this thing is not equipped by your British ** team for a long time!" As he spoke, Zhang Renjie himself stepped forward and picked up a gun in front of Harrison's left.

"I'm going to do this, the third-generation Martini-Henry rifle, this thing was officially redressed in the UK last year. Well, the caliber is 0.4 inches, and the weight is 4.13 kilograms, which is somewhat on the heavy side. The rate of fire is relatively high, and skilled people can fire ten rounds per minute, with an effective range of 800 meters. The bolt is hinged to operate the landing lock, there is a hinge behind the bolt, and the lower part is supported by a lever and extends to the trigger retainer, and the middle finger pulls down the retainer lever to make the bolt naturally descend and expose the chamber, and at the same time throws out the empty cartridge case, and then after loading with the left hand, the right middle finger pulls back the lever, and the bolt can be locked. Well, Mr. Harrison, I'm right! ”

"Hehehe, it turns out that Mr. Zhang is prepared! Yes, this is the latest third-generation Martini-Henry rifle equipped by the British Emperor, and it is now one of the most advanced rifles in the world. However, our ** team is also changing a lot of equipment, so the quantity is very small, the supply is very tight, and the price is more expensive than other rifles! Harrison was not embarrassed at all, and said with a gentlemanly smile.

Zhang Renjie smiled, this gun is indeed the most advanced in the world now, the first two generations have a big disadvantage is that the ammunition reservoir is easy to break and deform the problem of guiding the bomb, and now the third generation has solved it, but there is a small problem that the recoil of the shot is too large, however, Zhang Renjie doesn't care about these, the soldiers can get used to these through training. In the future, when I have my own territory and production machine, I will let these foreign hairs see what is an advanced rifle!

"Mr. Harrison, let's talk about it, a fixed price, how much is this rifle?"

"This rifle is much more expensive than the old guns, plus the quantity is limited, so the price is fifty taels of silver per gun! This is the first time I have traded with Mr. Zhang, how about I give another 50 rounds of ammunition at the same time? Harrison said.

Fifty taels, but it is twenty taels more than Mauser, nearly half, which is really not a small amount. If you buy 500 strokes, you will pay 10,000 taels more. But he didn't dwell on anything, and after a brief consideration, he replied: "Okay, for the time being, I need 600 rifles, and in addition to the bullets you provided, I also need 500,000 rounds!" "500,000 rounds of ammunition sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is only forty or fifty boxes in a small wooden box.

"How about these two revolvers? Bulldog revolver, Smith & Wisson No. 3 revolver, one American, one British, your business is quite comprehensive! We don't have any other British or American goods? ”

"Mr. Zhang is well-informed, there are many types of pistols, both of which are produced by British companies, the Smith & Wesson No. 3 revolver you said is an imitation, this pistol has a good heart and that, many countries have imitations of Russia, France, Belgium, how about it, fancy which one?"

"That's it, pit bull revolver, it's easier to use, and I like it. How much does it cost? Zhang Renjie asked, the price of a pistol must be more expensive than a rifle, especially when it comes to close quarters, the pistol is too important!

"One hundred taels of silver is not a bargain, and every hundred rounds of bullets are one tael of silver!" Harrison said earnestly.

"How many do you have?" Zhang Renjie wanted to purchase more, and when he turned around, almost every company platoon commander was issued one, and it was not easy for him to slowly train officers, but he couldn't let them die in battle lightly.

When Harrison saw Zhang Renjie like this, he knew that the amount he wanted was definitely not small. "Mr. Zhang needs a lot, I'm sorry, this pistol is out of stock like the rifle you want, there are only ten of this pistol here, but it only takes a few days for me to transfer a batch of goods from Shanghai, and the rifle Zhenjiang can only get half of it now. Thank you for your understanding! ”

"It's okay! I'm not in a hurry about this, I'm gone with these ten rifles, and it's okay to wait for half a month. But can you please send the goods to my designated place? I didn't bring that many people with me this time! Zhang Renjie smiled.

Harrison talked about it, and he was very happy, this was already more than 30,000 taels of silver. "No problem, where is it delivered?"

"I'll write down the address later. Okay, let's move on to the next deal. When Zhang Renjie said this, he turned his head to General Manager Wu, who had never had a chance to speak. This General Manager Wu couldn't understand English at all, and he was shocked to see Zhang Renjie babbling a lot, and he was speechless when he said this hairy Harrison. If he knew that Zhang Renjie had bought a total of 30,000 taels of silver and would continue to spend 70,000 or 80,000 taels, he would have been even more shocked.

"Mr. Wu, I'm really sorry for you this time, the business here has been negotiated, thank you for your help, please tell me for the trouble, thank you!" As he spoke, a silver ticket had been stuffed into the sleeve of General Manager Wu's office.

Mr. Wu understood and said with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi is polite, isn't it, there is anything else that needs to be served in the future, just say hello!" Then you're busy, I'll go first! Out of the door of the showroom, General Manager Wu did not stay any longer, and went back to the yamen directly. When I got outside, I took out the silver ticket and looked at it, oh, it was really everyone's young master, and I would give two hundred taels for running an errand, the silver ticket of the authentic Rishengchang ticket number.

Returning to Harrison's office again, Zhang Renjie said directly: "Mr. Harrison, I know your strength, I also saw it in the showroom just now, there are only rifles, but no machine guns and no cannons, don't sue me that you do arms trading but don't sell these!" After speaking, he continued to take a sip of the teacup.

"Of course, but the machine guns and artillery are too powerful, and they are usually purchased by Qing government officials, and we have no precedent for selling them to private individuals, this"

"Hahaha, don't be sloppy with me, you are doing business, and besides, I was also introduced by the Inspector, are you still worried? Let's be honest, I need a few machine guns and a few guns, and I want you to help. Zhang Renjie said with a laugh.

Harrison: "As you know, machine guns and cannons are quite large, and it's not so easy to hide from people. ”

"I know that, but I don't want it right now. You can get me two machine guns that Britain is equipped with now, but the cannons I want may be a little difficult, you may have heard that the Mark 121-pounder gun is a rear-loading field gun made in the United States, I need five, I believe you can get it! Price is not an issue! ”

"It seems that Mr. Zhang really knows a lot about ordnance, I am surprised, the Mark 121-pound cannon is brand new equipment, you can also know this, amazing! I try my best, but I can't guarantee it! ”

"Okay, wait for your good news. This is the money for the gun, and I add another 5,000 taels as a deposit for the cannon, and how about I give Mr. Harrison a tenth of the commission for the cannon? ”

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!" Seeing Harrison's expression, Zhang Renjie knew that things should be about the same, whether it was the British or the Americans, they only recognized money, and sold everything when they gave money, and when the money was enough, even if they sold their souls to the devil, it was no problem. Jardine Matheson's influence is all over the world, and it is still a Fortune 500 company in the 21st century, so this kind of thing is really not a problem.
