Duan Deming thought that he would be free in the afternoon, and he could chat with Zhu Daolin about the unfinished matters of making muskets and artillery, who knew that every half hour or so, there would be a car delivery arrival, not only received 200 large grinding mirrors packed in ten large wooden boxes, but also successively accepted 12 Polaris floor clocks, 50 boxes of high-grade tea, 500 pairs of pull-back sneakers, 20 soccer balls and two pumps, and 5 large boxes of standard measuring tools made of stainless steel. The 100 Type 62 compasses and 5 15-magnification sentry telescopes sent by the military specialty store dazzled Duan Deming and finally became numb, and he didn't recover until he went to Zhu Daolin's parents' house for dinner.

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother were very enthusiastic when they saw Duan Deming again after many years, and they didn't need Zhu Daolin and Duan Deming to say anything, the old couple automatically believed that the two of them would join forces to make a fortune.

Chu Mei was busy like a little daughter-in-law, and the atmosphere of the dinner was extremely cordial and comfortable, and in the end, Zhu's father, who was very relieved, almost drank down.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the drunken Duan Deming was in the big bathtub, soaked in hot water for half an hour before he woke up, Zhu Daolin had already gone to the empty room after Chu Mei left to take a bath, and booked a ticket for him to fly back to his hometown tomorrow morning by phone, Duan Deming, who was only wearing a pair of briefs, came out of the bathroom with a large bath towel and swayed.

"Have a cup of tea." Zhu Daolin, who was wearing a nightgown, delivered the hot tea to the table in front of Duan Deming, and picked up the remote control to turn up the temperature of the heater.

Duan Deming drank half a cup of hot tea, felt much more comfortable, and immediately talked to Zhu Daolin about business: "Have you made up your mind?" What kind of guns are going to be made? ”

"I've made up my mind, since the smoothbore flintlock pistol you said can have an effective range of two hundred and fifty meters, then there is no need to rifle, simple has the advantage of simplicity, order 10,000 for the time being, you have to equip me with all the vulnerable accessories for each gun. Will it be delivered in five months from now? Zhu Daolin asked.

Duan Deming sighed: "Five months is enough, you can mail me the contract of the film and television base when you go back, in case someone says something, it will be a pretext, but I still suggest that you consider my opinion and refer to the rifles before World War I." A redesign of a single-shot rifle that fires paper shells. ”

"To be honest, the simple and practical design of the 38 big cover is very good, if you are worried about accidents, I will spend some energy to adjust the production order, disrupt the batch, and store the manufactured parts separately, and then send you a few hydraulic machine tools that have been sealed in the warehouse for many years, with knives can still be used, you take the wooden part of the rifle to make your own, and assemble it to be finished."

"As for the equipment for the production of paper shell shells and a full set of technical information. I'll go back and sort it out, use the computer to type it out and bind it, and I will make the corresponding equipment for you in advance, and I'll give it to you when you pick it up. ”

Zhu Daolin thought for a while: "Let's make 10,000 flintlock pistols first, and then start manufacturing single-shot rifles after completion, so that we can be more relaxed." ”

"Then there's the manufacture of breech guns, and if you really want to take over, you're in charge. You also have to keep in mind the iron fan casting cannon technology and standard molds I told you, and I will be back at the end of May and early June. When the time comes, I'll go to your place and discuss something when we meet. ”

"No matter how many flintlock pistols and cannons I make, I will quietly take them away! Rest assured, there will be no problems on my side. ”

Duan Deming nodded: "The artillery materials you gave me are too lax, all of them are the design level of amateurs, and they don't take into account the various properties of the cannon steel used today are far above the steel of a hundred years ago." After I go back, I will find a few masters to slowly help you modify it, at least the design weight can be reduced by more than a quarter, and the mechanical retraction mechanism is also very simple, the key is the parameter calculation and manufacturing quality of the shock absorbing spring, which also needs to calculate the maximum recoil of the gun. I'll get it for you when I go back. ”

Zhu Daolin smiled embarrassedly: "The information handed over to you is designed by me on the Internet with reference to the artillery of European countries, you can modify it, you are a hundred times stronger than me in this regard, none of the thousands of comrades-in-arms in the brigade directly under you back then can compare to you, and I thought you would become a non-commissioned officer after I came back." ”

"Don't mention it, I feel sad every time I mention it." Duan Deming lit a cigarette: "What else do you need me to do?" ”

Zhu Daolin thought for a while: "The burden on your body is heavy enough, I don't want you to put all your energy on the manufacture of artillery and muskets, after all, this is not a long-term business." ”

Duan Deming smiled: "I know in my heart that it will not affect normal production, and when you come to me in the future, you will understand that we lack everything there, that is, there is no shortage of third-tier factories." ”

Zhu Daolin understood, laughed and stood up: "Sleep, I have to take you to the airport at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay! I'm so tired and sleeping. ”

The next morning, Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei sent Duan Deming to the airport together, Zhu Daolin took out two large suitcases full of gifts in the car, dragged them with Chu Mei one by one, sent Duan Deming to the ticket gate, and watched him get the boarding pass before waving goodbye.

Chu Meineng and Zhu Daolin were very happy to get along alone, and when they entered the city, they immediately proposed to go to a movie together, and Zhu Daolin drove to the cinema without saying a word.

The two snuggled up to each other and watched a movie quietly, and then went to old Beijing to eat mutton shabu together, and when Chu Mei returned to the parking lot satisfied, Zhu Daolin hugged her to the jewelry store on the pedestrian street, bought a diamond ring worth 170,000 yuan that he had already fancied, and personally put it on for Chu Mei, who couldn't help but burst into tears.

Back in the car, Chu Mei could no longer control the surging love in her heart, and hugged Zhu Daolin tightly and shed tears of happiness.

"Wait for me for two and a half years, and after two and a half years, I will definitely marry you!"

Zhu Daolin finally made a choice, hugging Chu Mei, who was nodding frequently with tears in his arms, but thinking of Song Shaojun and her illustrious family in Toronto.

If it weren't for Xiaoyu, who had a good impression of him last time, quietly admonished him, Zhu Daolin probably wouldn't know in another two years that the Song family would not look down on him, a nouveau riche from an ordinary background.

The Song family, including Song Shaojun's father and stepmother, has re-selected a fiancé for Song Shaojun, there may be a moving story of Cinderella and the prince in this world, but there will be no happy love between the princess and ordinary people, and the only legend is that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are also a tragic story.

Zhu Daolin knew very well in his heart that Song Shaojun was powerless to resist and did not dare to tell himself all this, so he flew to Toronto to adjust his mood under the pretext of being busy with business.

The most fundamental reason why Zhu Daolin did not bring back an antique calligraphy and painting this time was precisely because of this incident, if he hadn't been worried about buying silver in July, Zhu Daolin would never have any more transactions with the Song family.

Zhu Daolin knows that he is not a good person, let alone the so-called single-minded love, he can sacrifice his own interests in order to achieve his goal, but he will never sacrifice his happiness.
