Chapter 5: A Cart of Pears and a Gun
The one who sold pears was none other than Ding Li, one of the two protagonists in the plot of "Shanghai Tang", and later the gang boss Ding Li.
This gave him an idea right away.
"Hey, the pear seller, do you want to give you a fortune?" Shang Yu walked up to Ding Li and said.
Hearing this, Ding Li subconsciously wanted to say "yes", but he still shook his head and said, "This master, don't make fun of honest people like me." As soon as I sell pears, I don't have any money, and I don't have the strength to cut people, where can I afford any wealth? ”
At this time, Ding Li, although he has not yet made a career, is not stupid at all.
He dreams of getting ahead, but he doesn't want to be a thug who works hard for others, otherwise it won't be too easy to join a gang in Shanghai. What he wants is to really get ahead, at least be the eldest brother himself, and take a group of younger brothers to fight for his future, so that even if it is bloody, it is worth it.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss to be a little brother for others and be hacked to death?
"Try this thing and see if it works." Shang Yu took out a pistol and handed it to Ding Li.
Seeing this, Ding Li's eyes couldn't help jumping, but although he was flustered, he still took the pistol and tried to fire a few shots. There was no doubt about the result, and feeling the extraordinary precision, he immediately understood that he had seen the baby.
Although he didn't understand where that accuracy came from, he could feel that with this gun, he would become a sharpshooter.
"This is a high-tech pistol I got from outside, it can turn you into a sharpshooter, as long as you send me your cart of pears to the beach next to the docks, it's yours!" Shang Yu said.
Ding Li was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement: "A cart of pears for a gun, there is such a good thing?" ”
"What's the use of me lying to you?" Shang Yu smiled.
In fact, he didn't lose money on this deal.
In the thirtieth century, the Earth Federation, because of the threat of alien civilizations, almost all manpower and material resources were invested in education and weapon research and development, so relatively speaking, entertainment and other industries that have nothing to do with survival are very depressed. The same goes for food, under the premise of being absolutely safe and nutritious, the food of the Earth Federation can only be described as "edible", and the taste is so bland that many aliens would rather starve to death than eat it.
This can be regarded as a kind of reckless militarism.
But this is not the patent of the earth, and there is no choice: if the Earth Federation did not have a powerful "antimatter weapon", it would have been wiped out by other civilizations long ago!
Yes, extermination, not annexation.
In the cruel universe, once you lose your foothold, then what will be greeted is the extinction of the dead race!
All civilizations must give priority to the development of force.
Therefore, the earthlings had to give up the fantasy culture that once crowned the galaxy, had to give up the various delicacies that once made aliens linger, and had to give up those original foods to use resources in a more reasonable way - in this era, even those big people at the top of the federation can't often eat original pears, and it is difficult to eat the meat grown from pigs, cows and sheep!
Film and television culture or something mostly stays thousands of years ago, and the famous movies, television, and novels are basically products of the 20th century.
Therefore, a cart of pears for a gun, Ding Li thinks that he has made a lot of money, but in fact, Shang Yu has earned more.
Raw pears, in places like Blackstar, will definitely sell well.
Outlaws and mercenaries with their heads pinned to their belts are the ones who will enjoy it the most, and they definitely don't mind spending some money to taste the raw pears.
"However, I only need a cart of pears, and if you want more pistols, you'll have to pay for them!" Shang Yu said: "I still have ninety-nine of these pistols here, ten oceans each, if you can bring enough oceans before dark, I can sell them all to you!" ”
After speaking, he left directly and waited in a teahouse next to the dock.
Ding Li, on the other hand, hurriedly sent someone to call Xu Wenqiang.
After telling Xu Wenqiang about his deal with Shang Yu, he demonstrated the function of the pistol to Xu Wenqiang, and then said: "This thing from a foreign country is really amazing, if you recruit a hundred brothers each, wouldn't it be easy to dominate Shanghai Beach?" ”
He heard Shang Yu say that he got it from the "outside", but he thought it was from abroad, and he couldn't think of other worlds at all.
Xu Wenqiang is more knowledgeable than him, and after trying the function, he said with a solemn expression: "It is not enough to dominate Shanghai Beach with guns alone, but our brothers are indeed developed!" That person should be the first time to come here, and there is no way at all, so he will exchange a pistol for a cart of pears for you, in order to throw bricks and attract jade. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The price of ten oceans is not too expensive, this kind of high-tech thing, you can't buy it with money in other places." ”
"That's a pity, we don't have so many oceans to eat them all." Ding Li said.
"Even if we can't eat it, with the love of this transaction, we can get acquainted with him, and there will be only benefits and no disadvantages in the future." Xu Wenqiang lifted his hat and said with a smile: "However, it's not that we can't eat this batch of guns, I'll go with you and talk about our deal with him!" ”
After speaking, Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li pulled the cart of pears to the beach that Shang Yu said.
"That is, you don't have the money, but you want this shipment?" Shang Yu said as he drank tea.
In this regard, Xu Wenqiang smiled and said: "It's not that I don't have money, it's just that the money is not in my pocket, so I want to borrow a few from you first, but then bring the money to buy the rest." I just don't know, brother, would you like to wait for a while? It won't be long, and with the power of your pistol, we'll be back soon. ”
He really doesn't have any money, and Ding Li doesn't have either, but the two of them have rivals and enemies.
As long as you take a gun and take revenge in the past, the money will naturally be there.
"Give you five guns, ten compressed magazines with 500 rounds of ammunition, send me 10,000 oceans before dark, and you can take the remaining 90 or so pistols." Shang Yu directly raised the price ten times and said, "I will promise to only trade this kind of pistol with you in the future, and if the deal is made, I will do this tea!" ”
Immediately, Xu Wenqiang smiled, poured a cup of hot tea, and said, "It's a pity that it's not wine, tonight, I'll have a good drink." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Shang Yu said.
After picking five pistols, Xu Wenqiang carried the magazine on his back and trotted to the dock with Ding Li.
Shang Yu knew what they were going to do, and said to his watch, "Why do I suddenly have the urge to dominate Shanghai Beach and plunder the resources of this entire world? ”
People have no windfall and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat.
He suddenly found that the money that had no capital to sell was the fastest way to get money.
"Don't, the space-time store has its own trading rules, and if you violate it, you will be taken back from the store!" Huo'er's voice sounded in the watch: "As for what is considered a violation, based on the emotions of the indigenous people, when they think that you are not a merchant but a marauder, it will trigger the 'verdict' of the space-time store, once the hammer is realized, the lightest is to take back the store, and in serious cases, it may even be wiped out!" ”
When Shang Yu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't let myself be lost in the eyes of money." ”
People need to have a bottom line to be considered a person, otherwise what is the difference between them and the walking dead?
"Of course, as long as you do business with a trading mentality, even if you blow up a world, it will not attract a verdict." Huo'er added: "In addition, you are not restricted in the real world, as a part there, even if you conquer the world and plunder the entire universe into your own pocket, it is okay, as long as you have the ability." ”
"Huh!" Shang Yu was speechless.
Conquer the universe? Forget it!
How big the real universe is is unknown, and the Milky Way alone almost didn't drive the Earth Federation crazy, facing an entire universe...... With the scientific and technological level of the earthlings, it is still a question whether they can run a lap, conquer a chicken feather!
