Chapter 79: Delusion

1,000 yuan a arquebus is indeed very cheap.

The arquebus is mainly made of wood and the barrel of the iron is the most important, in fact, if you want to talk about the technical content or something, this is not a fart in the 21st century.

However, in 1620, it was a high-tech product of a cliff.

Zhao Hongyu's copycat 'umbrella' research institute has not yet been invested. The arquebus purchased by Zhao Hongyu is still a product that comes with him, so the umbrella mechanism of the pit father used inferior iron pipes to create the barrel of the arquebus.

In addition to this, the wooden body of the arquebus is not made of a single piece of wood. Instead, it is made by compacting and gluing the wood chips and applying a coat of paint......

Strictly speaking, the wooden body of the arquebus sold by Zhao Hongyu is a gun body composed of various wood chips.

If this is put into the 21st century, it will definitely be sprayed to death, but the problem is that Zhao Hongyu was on the American continent in 1620, and the buyers of his arquebuses were also indigenous Indians.

They didn't see that the arquebus had such or such problems, and there was no difference in the appearance anyway.

Even by looking at it with the naked eye, Zhao Hongyu's arquebuses are much more 'sophisticated' than the arquebuses sold by white people. That is to say, it looks good and is more comfortable than the white man's arquebus.

In fact, it is not surprising at all, no matter how much the knock-off goods are also products of the 21st century.

Coupled with the strange existence of the 'Umbrella' company, it would be hellish if this arquebus didn't look good.

Born in the 80s, Zhao Hongyu clearly knows the way, but all copycat products are the same as the genuine ones, and even stronger than the genuine ones in some functions.

But the arquebuses sold by Zhao Hongyu also have some disadvantages, that is, if they are used too many times, the barrel will be damaged, and the wooden body will fall apart.

After all, a knock-off is a knock-off.

But looking at this problem on the other hand, there are intangible benefits for Zhao Hongyu.

Because if the guns were broken, the Indians would buy new ones. In this way, it is equivalent to making Zhao Hongyu's business better.

It's just that Zhao Hongyu has to think about how to give a convincing explanation when the gun is broken.

However, it is obvious that Zhao Hongyu does not have to worry about this aspect at all.

Because in comparison with the arquebus of 1620, except for the unreliable body made of wood chips, the barrel is much better than that of arquebuses made in other European countries of this era.

Moreover, arquebuses manufactured and produced on the European continent in this era often blew up and caused various accidents. Therefore, the damage rate is also very large, so Zhao Hongyu's arquebus has a little accident or damage, but it can be explained.

Isn't that the same with other arquebuses anyway?

One million yuan, 1000 arquebuses were purchased.

Faced with a firearms market of 100,000 people, 1,000 arquebuses are still a drop in the bucket.

At the same time, gunpowder and lead bullet, which are the most profitable commodities, are the most profitable commodities in the sale of firearms.

Zhao Hongyu walked out of the tent where he lived and walked outside the super large 'warehouse' built next to him. He stood outside and lifted the curtain and glanced inside.

It was black and numb, and he couldn't see anything.

After calling a genetic man and bringing a torch, he was finally able to see more clearly through the firelight.

1,000 arquebuses were neatly placed in the tent, and dozens of large wooden barrels were also in the tent, neatly stacked on the other side.

Next to the barrels, dozens of sacks were there.

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and motioned for the genetic man to wait for him outside, he was worried that those wooden barrels were likely to be black powder, so he didn't dare to let the genetic man with the torch follow him in. …,
