Chapter 394: Mortgage of Warships
Nguyen Jun Hee had already prepared, he smiled and said: "This is the second point I am going to say, in order to ensure the success of the attack on Cam Ranh Bay, we need to buy a lot of equipment, so I think everyone who can afford to inject money into the game should contribute to this matter, and I now announce that I will inject money into the game in exchange for 200,000 pounds to buy weapons." ”
The Vietnamese players in the audience were in an uproar, 200,000 pounds is equivalent to 1.5 million taels of silver, and they can buy an advanced battle cruiser. Nguyen Junxi is actually the top richest man in Vietnam, but investing so much money is equivalent to a large part of his assets, which is simply a big deal!
The players under the rostrum were talking, and Li Jun, who was sitting next to Ruan Junxi, suddenly had an inferiority complex, because compared to Ruan Junxi, he was like a clown jumping off the beam. People can invest 200,000 pounds to buy arms at will, and these money can buy dozens of Li Jun's bases, but it is ridiculous that he is still complacent because he is sitting in the center of the rostrum.
Nguyen Junxi spent this money very wisely, he invested so much money just to change the clothes of his subordinates, but now proposing to inject so much money has become a sacrifice for the country. What's even better is that after he invests so much money, those players who compete with him in Beiqi will definitely not be able to sit still, because they are afraid that Nguyen Junxi's strength will be used against them if he grows greatly.
"I injected £50,000 into the costume of my players."
"I'm putting £20,000 into it."
"I'm putting £30,000 into it."
Many players who have developed in Beiqi have expressed their opinions, and some players have suggested that the teams participating in the mission of attacking Cam Ranh Bay must pass the weapons and equipment. He believes that the system has a limit on the number of players who can participate in the mission, and that some players with poor equipment will be held back when they receive the mission.
After this suggestion was affirmed, the bosses of Zhongqi and Nanqi couldn't sit still, and expressed their willingness to invest money to improve their equipment. As if the Vietnamese players were engaged in an arms race, they invested a lot of money. It can raise their overall equipment to a higher level, and they will not lose to the Chinese players in Cam Ranh Bay.
The French did not sell arms to Vietnamese players before, but after doing the arms business a few times and tasting the sweetness, there are many French people who sell weapons to Vietnamese players. After Silva told Chen Hao about the situation, Chen Hao realized the seriousness of the problem, if the Vietnamese players were also equipped with a large number of rapid-fire guns and machine guns. It is really not easy to resist with the current fortifications of Cam Ranh Bay.
Chen Hao called Silva back, saying that he would visit him in Saigon in person, and then rushed to Saigon non-stop. Silva had been waiting for a long time, and he smiled slightly: "Chen, I just received news that the Vietnamese player Li Wenshan asked my players to buy twelve Makqin and four 75mm mountain guns, which is the sixth Vietnamese player I know of who bought arms." ”
Chen Hao sneered: "You French are really reckless in order to make money!" If you let those Vietnamese players be armed to the teeth, you can develop in Indochina with peace of mind? ”
Silva shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a game. We grew in Indochina because there is little competition. If we make a lot of money in the arms business, even if we can't beat the Vietnamese players, we can go to other colonies! In any case, Indochina is not the only colony in our country. ”
"MLGBD, it's good to be a strong citizen in the game!" Chen Hao said a few words in his heart, he realized that he had to strengthen the defense of Cam Ranh Bay, but he had no money now.
Vietnam's high-end players may not invest much on their own, but everyone invests in arms, accumulating millions of pounds to improve their equipment. One million pounds is equivalent to 7.5 million taels of silver, and Chen Hao's belongings are only 200,000 taels of silver. This money will also have to be used to build the infrastructure and fortifications of Cam Ranh Bay. ”
Chen Hao thought that Vietnamese players would unite against him, but he didn't expect them to invest so much money in the early game. He didn't want to be stoned to death by Vietnamese monkeys. According to the design of Cam Ranh Bay, the forts were mainly to deal with threats from the sea, and now it seems that additional batteries will need to be added to support land operations.
Even the hundreds of Krupp guns used to threaten the sea Chen Hao did not land, and if he wanted to increase the battery, he would have to buy more cannons, where did he get so much money? Unaware of the poverty of Chen Hao, Silva informed Chen Hao that the Vietnamese were buying arms in large quantities. Just want to trick Chen Hao into buying a batch too, so that he can do business on both sides.
Silva said with a smile: "Chen, although our players sold arms to the Vietnamese, they were not the most advanced, and the rapid-fire guns were not sold to them. If you're going to buy arms to guard Cam Ranh Bay. As long as I can get the money, I will definitely buy you the most advanced artillery and heavy machine guns......"
Chen Hao said with a black line in his head: "I can't take out so much money now." ”
Silva's face quickly turned cold, he was so polite to Chen Hao because of the grand blueprint drawn by Chen Hao. Chen Hao said that he would buy a large number of warships such as battleships and battlecruisers, as well as some advanced military products in Europe, and according to him, the arms business was worth more than 10 million pounds, and Silva could also make a lot of money.
Now that Chen Hao admits that he has no money, not even money to buy artillery for defense, Silva has a feeling that he has been tricked. He spread his hands and said, "Chen, if you don't have enough money, I think we have lost the basis for cooperation." If you don't buy a lot of artillery and machine guns, you won't be able to hold Cam Ranh Bay. ”
Chen Hao said lightly: "Mr. Silva, I want to buy two hundred 200 mm caliber fortress guns, I don't know how much money can I get one?" ”
Silva perked up, and he said enthusiastically: "Chen, a 200MM Krupp cannon costs 15,000 silver dollars, and I will give ten shells for each gun." ”
Chen Hao couldn't help frowning and said, "So expensive? ”
Silva said with a sincere face: "I will buy the best Krupp gun, it is not easy to buy large-caliber guns, and I will get almost 13,000 silver dollars a piece in Europe." This is our first time doing business, I will definitely not cheat you, if you don't believe it, you can go to the EU game forum and ask. ”
Chen Hao scratched his head with a little headache, according to Wu Peifu's defensive design, Cam Ranh Bay needs at least 500 artillery pieces to ensure that it is foolproof. Now it is only Vietnamese players who are dealing with it, so Chen Hao decided to buy 200 cannons first, which also requires 3 million silver dollars.
Chen Hao laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Silva, then you can buy me 200 200 mm caliber Krupp guns first!" I want to see if you can take credit, I promise to pay you 3.2 million silver dollars within half a year, and the other 200,000 silver dollars will be considered interest? ”
The smile on Silva's face froze, and he said angrily: "Chen, I am very serious about cooperating with you, 3 million silver dollars is not a small amount, I hope you don't make such jokes." ”
Chen Hao said lightly: "I'm not joking, I really plan to take credit, and the interest of 200,000 silver dollars is already very sincere." ”
Silva stood up with a sneer and said, "200,000 interest is indeed very sincere, but how can I trust you?" Just because of your empty words here, I'm going to give you 3 million silver dollars worth of arms on credit? Chen, if you don't have the sincerity to continue to cooperate, let's stop our conversation! I want to sell arms to the Vietnamese, and I just see great prospects for cooperation with you, and if you can't do what you said before, we don't have room for cooperation. ”
"Mr. Silva, sit down first, and listen to what I have to say, okay?" Chen Hao smiled and said: "Just like bank loans need collateral, of course credit also requires collateral, I signed a contract with Mr. Silva in the game and provided collateral, do you still think my suggestion is ridiculous?" ”
"Guarantee?" Silva couldn't help but be stunned, he suddenly thought of something, sat down and said: "If you are willing to take the fleet mortgage and sign a contract, I can provide you with 3 million arms, but I will also take a lot of risk in doing so, the interest of 200,000 silver dollars is too low." ”
"Damn, this foreign devil is really taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Chen Hao secretly slandered in his heart, but now he had to make this deal with Silva if he wanted to keep Cam Ranh Bay, so he had to say patiently: "Then how much interest does Mr. Silva think is appropriate?" ”
"Half a million silver dollars."
"Deal."
Chen Hao readily agreed to Silva's conditions, and muttered: "Although I can be ready to repay the loan in half a year, because I have to deal with the attack of the Vietnamese during this time, how about we set the time at eight months?" I have one battleship and four new cruisers of British origin as a guarantee, and if I fail to repay them after eight months, these warships will be yours. ”
Silva had a smile on his face again, and he stretched out his hand to Chen Hao and said, "Chen, you are indeed very sincere, I think we can sign a game contract." ”
The game contract will take effect immediately after the signing, and if Chen Hao can't repay the loan after eight months, several advanced warships under his name will be owned by Silva. Of course, Silva is not without risks, if these warships owned by Chen Hao are all destroyed within eight months, then he may lose all his money.
The strength of Cam Ranh Bay's fleet is not weak, and there is no intention for the NPC navy to deal with this fleet for the time being, so the chances of the fleet being destroyed within eight months are not very high. Despite this, it is also true that Silva took the risk, so Chen Hao readily agreed to his condition of 500,000 silver dollars in interest.
The two quickly wrote the contract in the game, signed their names, and the agreement on the mortgage of the warship was reached. In the contract, Chen Hao added a clause that within a month and a half, Silva must deliver two hundred 200 mm fortress guns to Cam Ranh Bay. Silva can also understand this, if Cam Ranh Bay has already fallen when the artillery is sent, Chen Hao will spend so much money to buy artillery It will be useless. (To be continued......)
