Chapter 26: Heavy Machine Guns
"Lord Qin, don't come unharmed!" When returning to the barracks with a blind bear he hunted, Qin Yu ushered in an unexpected guest, who turned out to be Chnokov, who had been absent for a long time.
"Mr. Chonokov, I can't imagine that there will be a time to meet again, it's really surprising, I don't know if Mr. Chnokov can give a reply to the machine guns I ordered from you." Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Of course, of course, a few new Maxim heavy machine guns, this little problem will definitely not bother me." Chinokov patted his chest and said, "I have already brought the Makqin heavy machine gun and delivered it to the door in person, and Lord Qin has to pay me the shipping fee." ”
"Of course, I won't be stingy with the money I should pay."
Seeing Chonokov's arrogant expression, Qin Yu laughed in his heart, the Chinokov in front of him was obviously a third-rate commodity who pulled the banner of tiger Pila, the Qing government was weak these years, and the foreigners who came to the Republic of China to mix all kinds of birds were there, and in front of him was obviously a guy with no background and a big tail wolf. However, Qin Yu has not had any contact with the Russians now, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the Northeast, he will inevitably have to deal with the Russians in the future, and there are still seven years before the First World War, during this time, Tsarist Russia is still the top power in the World and the world, and it is a behemoth, Qin Yu naturally can't show the disdain in his heart on his face.
"According to the original request of the adults, four Makqin machine guns, each with 10,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition." Chnokov tract.
"Very good, I've always had money and goods, and after someone has checked the gun, I'll send the money over immediately." Qin Yu nodded and said, five hundred taels of Makqin heavy machine guns, 8 taels of 4 yuan and one hundred rounds of machine gun ammunition, although they are still very expensive, but the amount is not large, at this time when the Northeast Patrol Battalion has no artillery, these four machine guns can almost determine the outcome of a small war, Qin Yu will naturally not be reluctant to pay, and at this time Qin Yu is not short of so many silver taels.
"Lord Qin's business is happy." Chonkov's eyes narrowed with laughter, he wasted several months of time and a lot of connections to get such a few machine guns from the army, although not as profitable as the few revoltains sold before, but the huge profits were enough to cover his salary for several years, such a deal once a year can also make his life very nourishing.
"By the way, Mr. Chenokov, you have a wide range of connections, do you have any needs for some daily necessities on the Middle East Road, I know some people here, such as woolen boots for winter, cotton clothes, sugar, spirits, beer, as long as you can sell them there, I can provide them."
Qin Yudao, whether it is the current Tsarist Russia or the later Soviet Union, light industrial products are relatively scarce. This is especially true in the Far East, where the industrial base is weak, and if you want to develop the economy of Mukden or the entire Northeast in the future, industry is indispensable. Adjacent to the northeast are the Mongolian steppes buried alive, cowhides, sheepskins, wool. At this time, the Mongolian steppe and the surrounding industrial base were almost blank, and the rich resources of the entire Mongolian steppe were almost completely wasted.
"Wool boots and cotton clothes are required in winter, but the size of the ones you make here is a little small, which is not suitable for the tall Tsarist people, and Lord Beer Qin should not have it at the moment. As for woolen boots, sugar, and spirits, there is a big gap, but most of the people of Tsarist Russia, who are great drinkers, usually like to drink vodka, and your spirits may not be suitable for us. Chnokov shrugged.
"It's easy to say where the beer comes from, just set up a brewery. As long as there is a need, I can find a way to supply, I plan to build a warehouse in Harbin, specially to open up the market in Harbin, and I will inevitably cooperate with some enlightened businessmen like Chnokov, when the time comes, Mr. Chnokov can sell the arms, and then he can sell cheap goods from my side, killing two birds with one stone. Mr. Chnokov will inevitably earn a good commission as well, don't you think? ”
Qin Yu tempted, no matter whether he can fight Zhang Zuolin in the future, dealing with the Tsarist Russians is inevitable. Although the layout is a little too early at this time, but after this period of suppression of bandits, many subordinates can no longer go to the battlefield, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do too heavy labor work when they go back to farm, so it is undoubtedly a waste of their next life to let them go back, but these veterans who have been trained by themselves and are more loyal to themselves to take care of some business chores are undoubtedly more reliable than ordinary people.
"That's okay, then I'll try, what goods Lord Qin has stockpiled in Harbin at that time, I will sell it, but how to divide the interests of both sides?" Chnokov asked.
"A five-percent commission on profits." Qin Yu said.
"No, no, Lord Qin, I get too little in this way." Chnokov shook his head.
"Mr. Chonkov, there are already a lot, think about it, I wasted so much effort to transport the goods to Harbin, and then I had to pile them up in the warehouse and ask someone to take care of them, how much effort and how much money did I need to invest in the middle? And Mr. Chonokov threw only a mouth. Five percent of the profits, if the profit in Harbin can reach 10,000 taels of silver a year, and Mr. Chenokov can reach 500 taels, this money alone is already a high salary that most people can't reach, even if you can't sell it, you won't lose anything, if you don't agree, then I can only find others to cooperate. Qin Yu said something diametrically opposed to the facts, even if Chnokov agreed, it was impossible for Qin Yu to hang himself on this tree.
"Okay, then I'll try."
Chinokov nodded, in the past, whether it was Mukden or the patrol troops of other provinces in the northeast, they basically would not ask him to buy weapons, because it was impossible for the generals with the troops to drink some soldier blood to save much money, a heavy machine gun was a few hundred taels, and it was even more big to eat bullets, so it was naturally impossible to buy it out of his own pocket.
In the past, Chinokov had always been in the business of beards all over the Northeast, and it was not stable, and there was no one like Qin Yu who bought a few machine guns at a time. Although the profit of consignment goods is thinner, but if he really does it, he doesn't have to run around anymore, it is enough to stay directly in Harbin, there are many Russians in Harbin, and from the bottom of his heart, Chinokov is still willing to stay there.
"Trust me, we're going to have a great time working together." Qin Yu smiled slightly, it is still difficult for the Japanese to enter the area north of Changchun for the time being, and the light industry of Tsarist Russia itself, especially in the Far East, is almost a blank slate, as long as there is a market, there will be no loss.
"I hope so." Chinokov shrugged his shoulders, he never felt that the Chinese he came into contact with were as shrewd as the young man in front of him, he had always taken the initiative in selling things before, and now he was almost following the other party's train of thought, but Chinokov did not feel disgusted.
