Chapter 318: Addictive
The banquet is over.
The neighbors and Duan Deming's father and brother all left drunk, Duan Deming had a good time to brew a pot of local camellia, took out the inventory list, and handed it to Zhu Daolin for a look:
"8,500 infantry-type flintlock pistols and accessories, 300 revolvers, 7,000 steel helmets of four specifications, 10,000 square meters of chain mail from the hardware factory in the city, 50 sets of cast guns and iron models of five models, 24 sets of small steam engines, and two sets of copper-bottom paper shell shell production equipment processed for you, together with 16 repaired old machine tools in my warehouse, are given to you."
"The last two items in the list are the total of your previous advance payments, minus the total amount of the above payments, you owe me more than 4 million."
Zhu Daolin took the bill and read it carefully, nodded and said with great satisfaction: "I will settle the mantissa tomorrow, and then pay you 20 million in advance, and I will pick up all the goods on the list within seven days...... These days you try to pack these goods into containers as much as possible, so that it is more convenient for me. ”
"No problem!"
Duan Deming was obviously relieved, and said with a smile: "During this time, the railway service company has sent more than 40 scrapped empty containers, all of which are of good quality, and I will personally take people to pack them tomorrow and concentrate them in the old warehouse at the foot of the mountain in the west, and you can transport them away as soon as you arrive......"
"By the way, there is another thing I almost forgot, Xiaopan and my sister-in-law bought almost 50 tons of red, green and black rice for you, along with all kinds of seeds, all stored in the warehouse in the western suburbs of the provincial capital rented for you, and sent people to live inside to guard for you."
"Before the Spring Festival, I'm afraid that the seeds of various crops are almost harvested, you have to have a number in your heart, remember to transport it back and don't miss the agricultural time."
"Understood, I will definitely transport all the grain and seeds before the Spring Festival." AFTER ZHU DAOLIN FINISHED ANSWERING, HE PUT DOWN THE TEACUP AND ASKED IN A LOW VOICE: "CAN YOU HELP ME BUILD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF 11MM COPPER-BOTTOMED PAPER SHELL BULLETS?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Duan Deming looked at Zhu Daolin suspiciously. Then he understood, and asked with a smile: "Is it because you couldn't get the bottom fire out there?" ”
"Hey, not only did the primer not come out, but even thin copper plates couldn't be produced...... The precision of the rolling mill is not enough, the horsepower is insufficient, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the end of the year to build a high-power steam engine to solve this problem. Zhu Daolin shook his head. Distressedly, he replied truthfully.
This Duan Deming was embarrassed: "For us, it is more troublesome to make copper-bottomed paper shell bullets for single-shot rifles than to make all-copper rifle bullets...... 7.62 AUTOMATIC RIFLE CARTRIDGES I HAVE SOME LEFTOVERS, BUT THE BATCH OF SINGLE-SHOT RIFLES MADE FOR YOU BEFORE ARE ALL 11MM CALIBER, AND THE CHAMBERS ARE NOT THE SAME. ”
Zhu Daolin had no choice but to give up: "In that case, forget it, I will transport two sets of production equipment for copper-bottom paper shell bombs." Let's find a way to solve it slowly...... Can you give me a more detailed copy of the technical information on the production of mine, mercury and primer? Is there a trick to this? Or what should I pay special attention to? ”
"That's no problem, I'll check the information again when I go back, and try to help you get a more detailed production process, as for the bullet problem, ......"
Duan Deming really didn't want to disappoint his good brother, thought about it for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Before the factory closed down, there were a few boxes of 7.62 caliber rifle cartridges, which were almost used by my brother and them for hunting in the past two years. It was only after I took over the factory that I put it away, and there were only about 800 rounds left. ”
"If you do need it. Tomorrow I will ask a few masters to quietly help you make two five or six halfs, but you will have to find a way to replenish them yourself when you run out of bullets. ”
Zhu Daolin was pleasantly surprised: "Can you make a few more?" Give me a copy of the rifle design drawings and production process flow diagrams? ”
"Why do you want so many guns without bullets? Do you want to make your own 7.62 caliber rifle cartridges? Duan Deming asked in surprise.
Zhu Daolin didn't hide it: "Yes, it's best if you build me two more 7.62×39 bullet production lines, together with the supporting steam engine, I will pay as much as I want." ”
Duan Deming weighed for a moment: "I'll take this job!" Tomorrow, I will choose the best materials and ask those old-timers who have been building for half a lifetime to make two more for you. I'll help you make a copy of the design drawing, production process and testing standards, and you'll come over and take it away with the bullets in a few days. ”
"However, I am afraid that the two bullet production lines will not be able until the end of the year, when the factory is very tight, and you will be handed over 25,000 flintlock pistols and 43,000 helmets before the year. There aren't enough people! ”
"It's okay to delay the production line of steam engines and bullets for half a year, flintlock pistols and helmets can't be delayed, they can only be advanced." Zhu Daolin especially reminded the flintlock pistol and helmet, which are also the two major equipment he urgently needs in the near future, and the importance is far above the chain mail.
Duan Deming nodded to show that he understood, lifted the teapot on the charcoal stove, added half a cup to Zhu Daolin, and asked curiously: "I have never been clear, where did your grandson get so much money?" ”
Zhu Daolin said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, I resell rosewood, nanmu and rosewood, if you want, I will give you two one day, with a diameter of not less than 50 centimeters and a length of not less than 6 meters." ”
Duan Deming's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "Really? Such a thick nanmu may grow for hundreds of years, and it will sell at least 20 million or more on the market! ”
"Of course it's true, I guess you're about to get married, give you two big nanmu as wedding gifts, and find someone to make furniture yourself." Zhu Daolin said with a smile.
Duan Deming was excited: "the furniture!" As long as you dare to send it, Lao Tzu will sell it immediately, and become a multimillionaire first...... It's hard to get a new car, a house, and a new wife! ”
Zhu Daolin laughed, no longer paid attention to this hard-mouthed and soft-ass grandson, and went directly to the upstairs guest room to lie down and rest.
Because Chu Mei slept with Xiaopan and occupied Duan Deming's place, this guy had to go upstairs and squeeze Zhu Daolin for one night, and the two of them lay on the bed and talked for a while before falling asleep in a daze.
After breakfast the next morning, Duan Deming accompanied Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei to the provincial capital, visited the places of interest for a day, took a lot of photos, and then went to the most famous local home-cooked restaurant to eat enough, and even had the spirit to go to the bar to dance at night, which made Zhu Daolin and Duan Deming tired enough.
At noon on the third day, Duan Deming and his wife sent Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei to the airport.
At this time, Chu Mei and Xiaopan had become good friends, and the two told each other, reluctant to give up, Duan Deming and Zhu Daolin whispered on the side, and did not wave goodbye until they were notified to board the plane.
In the evening, Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei returned to their parents' house with two bags full of them.
Chu Mei excitedly took out a gift to Zhu Daolin's mother, Zhu Daolin just wanted to talk to his father, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, and Boss Lin of Fujian actually sent two truckloads of tea to Zhu Daolin's Heshan villa at this time.
