Among these warlords here, Lu Rongting of the Gui family and Chen Jiongming of the Guangdong army are sworn enemies, the Yunnan army and the Sichuan army also fought fiercely, and there are many factions within the Sichuan army, and the Yunnan and Gui factions are also full of contradictions, and Liu Xianshi of Guizhou is not willing to be the boss of the southwest, so he also wants to expand the military strength.

These people got together and competed for weapons, and the results can be imagined, especially Deng Xihou made a good start, it doesn't matter if he has no money, he can use local products as collateral, Feng Jun is good at talking, and he wants everything. Their minds were all spinning rapidly, to see what they could pledge, and to buy the weapons back as soon as possible.

Of course, you can't buy it, but look at these red-eyed neighbors around, who can rest assured, if they buy the big killer weapon home, they can't do it against themselves, who can live crookedly!

Li Gengen and Deng Xihou grabbed the heavy artillery, and soon pushed the price to 2.8 million yuan, which was much more than the reserve price quoted by Sun Xianrui, she sat on it, her face was full of innocence, as if she never expected that the battle would be so fierce, but she didn't know that Deng Xihou was a trust arranged by her.

After calling 2.8 million, Sun Xianrui's left eye blinked slightly, and at this time, Deng Xihou below already knew about it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is rich, I am ashamed of myself." ”

Deng Xihou took the initiative to give up, Li Gengen was also complacent, although the price was 280,000, this price is fair, to buy this kind of artillery from the powers, at least three or four hundred thousand, and Fengjun also has an advantage, that is, it comes with a full set of after-sales service, help with training and maintenance, and the weapon has a one-year warranty, which has never happened.

Although 2.8 million hurts, it is worth it. But just when Li Gengen breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Rongting suddenly raised the sign in his hand: "I'll give 2.9 million!" ”

Li Gengen listened. Immediately frowned, this Lu Rongting is really too faceless, he dares to rob his own business, he has already obtained Tang Jiyao's telegram, and he is determined to win heavy artillery, so Li Gengen unceremoniously raised the sign: "Three million!" ”

"Three million and one million!"

"Three two hundred and twenty thousand!"

……

Another round of fierce bidding began, and it was suddenly pushed up to 3.4 million, and Li Gengen's eyes were red. Lu Rongting showed a smug smile, he didn't really want to fight, but just wanted to push up the price. Consume a little more financial resources of the Dian army, so that in the next auction, he will have one less opponent.

Everyone else also suddenly realized that this auction was a battlefield, not just a bloody battle. There is also deceit, and everyone must be a hundred times more energetic. That's how you get what you want. It also avoids being calculated.

Looking at the thoughtful faces below, Sun Xianrui said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Li, you have won ten heavy cannons at a price of 3.4 million, and the goods are already in transportation, and they will be delivered to Yunnan within a month." Next came the second auction item, fifty seventy-six-mm mountain guns. Enough to equip an artillery regiment, with a starting price of 20,000 yuan each! ”

"I'll give 1.2 million!"

Chen Jiongming, who had not spoken, suddenly raised a sign, and the Dian army was on the border, starting from the late Qing Dynasty. The equipment is second only to Beiyang, they also have artillery regiments, and what is lacking is only heavy artillery.

The gap in the field of heavy firepower in the Guangdong army is very large, so he can't wait to make up for this shortcoming, so he added 200,000 at once.

Deng Xihou on the side also bid without hesitation: "One million and three million!" ”

"One million three hundred and fifty thousand!" Lu Rongting also increased the price.

"One and a half million!" Chen Jiongming did not hesitate to increase the price of Xiangshang.

When the others saw it, they all joined in, and when they were robbed in the first round, they still had the mind of waiting and seeing, but now they are all put aside, this is the time when the bayonet is red, and they must not give up.

Seventy-six-millimeter guns are heavily equipped in all armies, and they are also the most familiar with the performance of this kind of artillery. The price soared all the way, and when it came to Zuihou, Chen Jiongming bid 1.8 million at once, and everyone else looked at each other, if they continued to call, this price would be more expensive than buying from the powers, and they could only shake their heads and give up.

Sun Xianrui said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is really arrogant, Feng Jun pays the most attention to benevolence and righteousness in business, and he will give you four artillery pieces to make up an artillery regiment, and he will also send you a group of professional artillerymen to help train and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible." ”

Chen Jiongming was still a little sore just now, but when he heard this, he immediately showed joy and hurriedly thanked him. The hearts of the others chuckled again, Chen Jiongming suddenly had an artillery regiment, and it would form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and the threat to the surrounding area was too great.

If you want to counteract this threat, you must get more equipment as soon as possible, and form combat effectiveness before Chen Jiongming, and everyone present is ten times more energetic, especially Lu Rongting, he just calculated Li Gengen, and thought he had a plan, but he also found that the further this goes, the more fierce the competition will be, and it may be better to take advantage of the loss first!

Sun Xianrui didn't care what the people below thought, she said with a smile: "The same one below is a hundred and five mm howitzer, this gun is moderately weight, powerful and very suitable for rough terrain. There are a total of 20 doors, each door is 55,000 yuan, and the starting price is 1.1 million. ”

"One million eight million!"

Lu Rongting suddenly increased to 1.8 million, he deliberately wanted to scare everyone present and show his determination to win. Of course, he also has an account in his heart, these 20 artillery pieces, in terms of power, are worse than 50 76-mm guns, and even when they are bombarded, they still have advantages, and he mentioned 1.8 million, which is not outrageous.

Sure enough, Lu Rongting's strategy worked, and the others fell into silence and didn't dare to follow the bidding. Lu Rongting's face was full of joy, but then a voice sounded next to him.

"I'll give two million!" It was Chen Jiongming who shouted.

When Lu Rongting heard this, he immediately raised his eyes and said sharply: "Governor Chen, you have already bought artillery, do you still want to rob it with the old man?" ”

Chen Jiongming smiled slightly: "Lu Dashuai, this is a auction, but there is no rule that only one thing is allowed to be auctioned." As long as you can get the money, you can buy it all. ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid that some people won't be able to come up with so much money at all!"

"Yes, I can't afford that much money, but I have no other way." Chen Jiongming said with a smile: "I am willing to sign a currency swap agreement with Fengjun, and the commercial exchanges between the three eastern provinces and Guangdong can also enjoy preferential treatment." ”

Among the southern provinces, only Guangdong is the richest and most prosperous, and Chen Jiongming played this card, which blocked Lu Rongting's mouth at once.

He had no choice but to shout with a calm face: "Two million and one million!" ”

"Two and two hundred thousand!"

"Two million four million!"

"Two million four hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two million six thousand!"

Lu Rongting's eyes were red. threw off his arms, kept raising the price, and after calling 2.6 million, the others stopped talking, and he finally got his wish. However, these cannons did exceed his estimates, and each cannon of the Feng army was a base number of shells. That's eighty.

If you still want to. If you want to buy it again, it will be another huge expense, and it will cost at least three million yuan for these twenty guns. The funds in Lu Rongting's hands were all squeezed out all of a sudden.

Sun Xianrui is the same, an unhurried auctioneer, she secretly calculated that the price of each weapon would be increased by at least half. Some even more than doubled, and in comparison, Li Gengen, who was the first bidder, did not lose much.

The auction lasted for more than two hours before all the weapons were sold, and Sun Xianrui said with a smile: "You are really all generous, the little woman really admires it very much, if you are still unsatisfied, you can still find me." ”

After saying that, Sun Xianrui left in a dashing manner, leaving the venue, Sun Xianrui had an urge to look up to the sky, she hurriedly returned to her room, but calculated the results of this auction, three kinds of artillery, a total of 7.8 million oceans, if you count the follow-up shells, it can easily exceed 10 million.

"What's so special about the cannon, isn't it just two wheels and an iron pipe, and this money is too easy to make!" Sun Xianrui couldn't help muttering to himself, in addition to artillery, other guns and grenades, and reconnaissance planes have also sold a lot, and the total price has reached 13 million, as for the cost, it will not exceed 3 million, and some of them are second-hand equipment Fengjun has already used, which is a huge profit!

With 10 million yuan, it can redress at least three divisions, build four steel plants, build five universities, and hire hundreds of outstanding European and American talents...... Sun Xianrui could imagine Zhang Tinglan's joy when she learned the news, and she couldn't help but show a sweet smile on her face.

When Sun Xianrui was settling accounts, someone suddenly sent a letter, saying that Chen Jiongming asked to see him, and Sun Xianrui didn't know what he was doing, so he had to ask people to come in.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any grievances with those artillery?"

"Of course not, Miss Sun, don't get me wrong, I came this time to buy a few more gunboats, this thing is no longer in the category of auction, but I think the Guangdong army needs the navy very much. Take the last time Sun Wen bombarded Guangzhou, for example, if I can master a few warships, I can send them to the bottom of the sea without harming the people of Guangdong. ”

Sun Xianrui nodded after listening: "I don't care about this, as long as you can afford the money, there is no problem in selling you the gunboat." I heard that the Huludao shipyard is producing a batch of patrol ships with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, and it is completely possible to carry out some modifications according to your requirements, and I estimate that each ship is about one million. ”

When Chen Jiongming heard this price, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll order two!" ”

Sun Xianrui smiled and nodded: "Mr. Chen, Lan Shuai once said that among the many figures in the southwest and Guangzhou, only Mr. Chen can be determined to reform the bad government, and under your rule, Guangdong has also become a model province, which is a rare talent." ”

"I'm really ashamed, what Lan Shuai did in the three eastern provinces is something that Jiong Ming can't even think of, in comparison, I'm just a little trouble."

Sun Xianrui said with a smile: "Lan Shuai actually wants to establish a wider cooperation with you. (To be continued......)
