Chapter 9 Foothold

Entering the territory of Xiangjiang, Huang Liang bought a house near Queen's Road and hired a servant.

"During the warlord melee, Xiangjiang was not affected, and after the outbreak of World War II, the island countries will hit Xiangjiang."

After thinking about it, Huang Liang went to the beach to buy a piece of land and hired someone to build a villa.

The pound is very valuable, the house on Queen's Road only cost him more than 400 pounds, and the 120 acres of land by the sea only cost more than 400 pounds, and he decided to spend 2,000 pounds to build a villa.

"The outer wall is 80 centimeters thick, and the middle is made of steel and cement, so it is easy to resist bullets, and small-caliber shells can only break glass doors and windows, and then make a tunnel, and there will be no problem with safety."

After practicing Xingyi Five Elements Boxing, Tai Chi Boxing, and Baguazhang for a while, and practicing Qigong for a while, Huang Liang went out.

"Jiulongzhai is a barbarian territory, there are Qing soldiers stationed there, and I don't have the ability to eat Jiulongzhai."

"The Xiangjiang Wharf is a transit station, and almost everything shipped from abroad will transit there."

"If I can accept the workers at the docks, I can know in time what the foreigners' goods are."

After thinking about it carefully, Huang Liang found that he was thinking too simply.

Instigating a strike by workers at the docks? With the arrogant and domineering virtues of foreigners, it is strange not to suppress them by force.

"Aside from the budget for building the villa, I only have more than 9,000 pounds left, so I'd better find a way to make money first."

"If you want to gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang, whether I want to or not, I have to have a good relationship with foreigners."

"Machinery and equipment, weapons and ammunition have to be bought from foreigners, and only with money can the devil grind!"

After finding a restaurant, solving the problem of dinner, and walking around a few times, Huang Liang bought some daily necessities, turned around and walked home, and after dusk the next day, he went to the song and dance hall opened by the foreigner Toms.

People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads.

The current situation is like this, for the sake of national rejuvenation, he can only be friends with foreigners because of the grievances in his heart.

Even if he is a top student in science and engineering, if he wants to produce weapons and ammunition, he also needs machines and materials, not to mention that he is not a top science and engineering student, and he knows nothing about the production of weapons and ammunition.

"Fuck off, this is not for you to get into." A tall gringo shouted in a vicious tone.

"Fake......" Huang Liang used fluent English, blurted out a few curses, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed and threw it, the other party fell to the ground, and he walked in without looking back.

Knowing that the other party was from the Eagle Country, a guy from the Eagle Country colony, he had to consider himself unlucky.

Huang Liang, who was wearing a suit, tie and leather shoes, was tall and tall, with short hair, and looked very energetic.

"Man, bring me a whiskey." Huang Liang took out five shillings and stretched out his hand to beckon.

One pound sterling is equal to twenty shillings, and one shilling is equal to twelve pence.

"Sir, your whiskey." The waiter walked over.

"The rest, it's your tip." Huang Liang pretended to be bold and said.

In the current era, the salary of a teacher in Eagle Country is only thirty pounds a year.

"This gentleman, I'm Wilson, from the Great Eagle Empire, it's a pleasure to meet you." A foreigner in a suit sat down with a smile on his face.

"Hello, I'm Huang Liang, from the United States." Huang Liang stretched out his hand, shook it with the other party, and then stretched out his hand and shouted, "Man, bring me another glass of whiskey." ”

"Thank you." Wilson thanked him.

"Cheers to our fate." Huang Liang raised his wine glass.

"Mr. Huang, are you from the United States?" Wilson took a shallow sip and asked curiously.

"I heard that the East is full of gold, and I have come to make a fortune." Huang Liangxu said matter-of-factly.

"I don't know what industry Mr. Huang is engaged in?" Wilson asked expectantly, he had purchased a lot of arms from China, and he thought that it was easy to sell here, but he found that no one bought it at all.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Huang Liang smiled bitterly and asked, "Mr. Wilson, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm in the arms trade, and I haven't found a suitable buyer yet." Wilson frowned.

"Arms are a good thing, as long as you find a buyer, you can make at least several times the profit, but when there is no war, arms are a pile of scrap metal." Huang Liang said truthfully.

"Mr. Huang, do you think there will be a war in the Barbarian Qing?" Wilson asked.

"The Barbarian Qing will be about to perish, and within ten years, a war will break out on the Barbarian Qing side." Huang Liang affirmed.

"In less than a year, I'll be bankrupt." Wilson sighed.

"What weapons do you have?" Huang Liang asked.

"Enfield rifles, Mauser rifles, Browning pistols, Maxim machine guns...... There were also some small-caliber cannons. Wilson said with a complicated expression.

"It's all good things, but it's a pity that there are few people who know the goods here." Huang Liang said.

"Mr. Huang, do you want to buy some weapons to defend yourself? I'll sell it to you at cost price, no, I'll sell it to you at a loss, how about it? Wilson asked expectantly.

"I'm going to see the goods first, if it's a weapon from decades ago, I wouldn't want it." Huang Liang said after thinking about it.

"Mr. Huang, please follow me." Wilson was overjoyed and couldn't wait.

Coming to the warehouse of Weill Foreign Company, Huang Liang looked at the various weapons, and then asked, "How much is this Mauser rifle?" ”

"These Mauser rifles, all of which were produced last year, have never been used, eight pounds each, and a thousand rounds of ammunition are given away." Wilson said.

"It's too expensive, you sell it to Manqing, and it's only about 20 taels of silver." Huang Liang shook his head.

"Mr. Huang, the guns sold to Manqing are all used, and they are old Mauser." Wilson said.

"Well, five pounds a Mauser and a thousand more rounds, how about that?" Huang Liang asked.

One pound is equal to more than seven taels of silver, and five pounds is equivalent to more than thirty taels of silver, which is comparable to more than fifty oceans.

"It's too little, not enough for my cost, at least seven pounds." Wilson said.

"One step back, six pounds a piece, and a thousand rounds of ammunition." Huang Liang said.

"Deal." Wilson gritted his teeth.

After a period of bargaining, Huang Liang spent more than 1,200 pounds to buy 30 Mauser 98, 50 Enfield rifles, 100 Browning pistols, and a Maxim machine gun.

A rifle gives 1,000 rounds, a pistol gives 500 rounds, and a machine gun gives 3,000 rounds.

"Man, you're my best brother." Wilson, who had made money, said happily.

"When I find a buyer who knows the goods in Manqing, we will make the arms business bigger and stronger and make a lot of pounds......," Huang Liang said.

"Man, let's go to Toms's ballroom, and I'll treat you to a couple of drinks." Wilson excitedly invited.

Put all the purchased arms back home, Huang Liang followed the other party and came to the dance hall again.

Spent more than a thousand pounds and bought a lot of weapons and ammunition, which he already earned.

Even without those weapons, it would cost more than a thousand pounds to be friends with an Eagle Nation.

"Man, her name is Diana, she is from the United States, and her father is also an arms dealer, how is it, pretty, right?" Wilson pointed to an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl and asked meaningfully.

Glancing at the foreign chick with blond hair, hot body, white and delicate skin, and a thousand-mile appearance, Huang Liang nodded and praised with a smile: "It's very beautiful." ”

"Don't look at her age, she knows a lot of things, she can speak fluently, and she can play the piano...... Wilson said.
