Chapter Forty-Three: The Chinese from Nanyang
"Xu, there is no negotiation between us that is so smooth, that Mr. Tirpitz is really a capable person, to paraphrase a phrase you Chinese, call the hands and eyes to the sky." Vittorio said happily as he sipped his wine.
"It's not just the hands and eyes that go to the sky. The colonel, who escorted Wilhelm II to England in 1887, has established contact with the newly appointed emperor, and I can assure him that he will do great things in the future. Xu Jie said with a smile.
"It seems that this person deserves a deep friendship." Vittorio said.
"That's true. Today's investment will pay off tomorrow's benefits. Julia agreed.
At this moment, the carriage creaked, causing the three people on the carriage to stagger, and a glass of red wine was spilled on Vittorio.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? Did Noga, do you fall asleep while you're in a car? Vittorio yelled and pushed the car door open and walked out.
"Sir, here are two yellow men who have stopped the carriage." Noga said with trepidation, and when the carriage stopped, the horses were less than 1 meter away from the two men. But the old man standing in front of him did not move. The calm and calm expression made Vittorio slightly startled.
"Is Mr. Xu in this car? The old Peng Haifeng came to visit, hoping that Mr. Xu could enjoy face. Although the pure London accent English was flattering, the tone was full of spirit, so that no one could look down on the old man in front of him.
"Down there is Xu Jie. Who are you? Xu Jie looked at the old man in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes were shining, his cheekbones were prominent, his knuckles were protruding, and the thick calluses on his fingers fully showed that this person either held a knife or a gun. Xu Jie's body couldn't help but straighten, and his hand slowly touched the back of his waist. Vittorio was also uneasy and gave Noga a color, who stepped up and pulled out the 1889 version of the self-defense pistol that was inserted in his waist.
Just as Noga pointed the gun at the old man, the young man next to the old man stepped forward quickly, grasping the handle of the gun with one hand and lifting it upward. At the same time, a knife slashed Noga in the armpit. The sudden blow to the axillary plexus caused Noga's body to contract involuntarily, and he fell to the ground, his pistol slipping to the side.
"Robbery?" A thought popped through Vittorio's mind, but then the other party's actions left him a little confused. I saw that the old man picked up the pistol, and then very politely helped up Noga, who had fallen to the ground. Then he said calmly: "The old man came to visit Mr. Xu just to do a business. ”
"Business, stopping our carriage on a side road outside the city and injuring my bodyguard is not an act of business? It's more like a robbery!! Vittorio growled.
"I hope that Haihan will give you a satisfactory answer for your offense. Junior, let's show our deposit to this gentleman first. Peng Haifeng said. The young man who had just put Noga down took out a small box from his body and opened it in front of everyone.
"This is?!" The bright light made Vittorio's eyes squint subconsciously.
"Diamonds?!" Julia couldn't help but whisper.
"It's a big deal." Xu Jie sighed meaningfully and said.
"Can you borrow a place for the two sides to sit down and talk?" The old man asked politely.
"Of course, if you don't mind, I think it's a good idea to go back to our temporary hotel and talk." Vittorio handed Xu Jie a color look.
"Of course, you can do whatever you want." The old man didn't talk nonsense, and automatically handed over the weapons of himself and his men to Noga and got into the carriage of Xu Jie and the others.
"Now I guess you should explain what you're doing, right?" In the living room of the hotel suite, Vittorio asked resentfully.
"I said we just want to do one business. That's all. There is a faux pas in the means, and I hope that Haihan will be hauled. The old man ignored the bodyguards around him and said lightly.
"Tell me, I don't know what kind of business you can do with us? Could it be that this old gentleman wants to buy a warship? Julia said half-jokingly.
"Could it be that Mr. Vittorio and Mr. Xu only have one ship design bureau? Why do you have your name in a firearms design bureau? The old man asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Okay, I don't think there is any need for us to go around in circles, let's show our hole cards." Xu Jie said straight to the point, he knew very well that the business of buying guns in Italy had already been represented by Vino's family, and the general business did not need to be entrusted to Leo and others at all, they only needed to take their profits regularly. And the old man came to Germany instead of Italy, and used such extreme means to negotiate business with them. …,
"We are very optimistic about your company's 1889-style rifles and combat pistols. We want to buy in large quantities. Peng Haifeng no longer concealed it, and directly stated the purpose of the trip.
"You can just contact the people of the Vino family directly. No matter how big the quantity, I think they can, satisfied. Julia said dissatisfied.
"200 1889 rifles, 400 rounds each, 50 1889 self-defense pistols, 500 rounds each, 300 1889 combat pistols, 500 rounds each, 2,000 offensive grenades. 2,000 defensive grenades and 50 grenade projectiles." Looking at the list handed over by Peng Haifeng, Vittorio and the others couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is a big business worth a whole 30,000 pounds, Mr. Peng is really generous." Xu Jie said quietly.
"Mr. Xu is wrong, this is a £35,000 business." Peng Haifeng said with a smile.
"Such a large amount of money is not counter-offered, and another 5,000 pounds are posted??" Vittorio didn't believe his ears.
"We have only one request. I hope that Mr. Xu can arrange someone to deliver our goods to the designated place. Peng Haifeng paused and said: "The 5,000 pounds is regarded as the freight." ”
"Can't you hire a boat? £5,000 is enough to hire a ship to carry the cargo around the globe three times. Leo said in surprise.
"May I ask where is the old gentleman's fairy town?" Xu Jie asked as if he suddenly realized something.
"My hometown is from Fujian. But my ancestors moved to Java, and I'm already the third generation. Peng Haifeng said.
"I see, no wonder I have to find a way to get to my destination." Xu Jie's heart was instantly as clear as a mirror. Paying with diamonds and asking me to be responsible for transportation, this series of weirdness finally made Xu Jie understand.
"And how do we deliver this cargo?" Xu Jie asked.
"As long as we pass the customs, even if the delivery is made, we will take care of the rest of the things." The old man thought for a moment and said.
"May we think about it again and call back to you in 2 days?" Leo was full of doubts, but considering the price offered by the other party, he still agreed to the deal in principle.
"Well, we're waiting for good news, this is our address." After speaking, the old man handed over a note.
