ACT008: The secret that can't be said
In terms of actual price, all of Zhao Jian's guns combined are not worth the price of a diamond.
However, in the eyes of the indigenous people of East Africa, a diamond is nothing more than a polished stone that can be eaten to satisfy hunger or thirst. Although as early as BC, the Arabs and Persians who traded with them made it clear to the locals that these beautiful stones were valuable, this value was also relative.
Zhao, who received the diamonds, handed over all 50 rifles and 3,000 rounds of ammunition to the head of the guards. Only then did he know that this guy who had always been very dragged before turned out to be the chief's son, so Zhao Jian gave him a revolver and 150 rounds of ammunition "for free".
The other party played with it in his hand for a while, and suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun at Zhao Jian's head, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and Zhao Jian only shook it slightly, and then said very calmly.
"Kill me, and there's no next deal."
The awkward silence lasted only a short moment before the young chief put away his gun. The other party didn't expect Zhao Jian to answer like this, and he was so calm in the face of the gun, which made him feel a little surprised. For the first time, the stout young black man, who did not look like his father at all, laughed, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
"Little ghost, you are very kind, I appreciate people with kind."
"My father is a soldier, this may be a compliment, in short, xiexie your compliment."
“hahahaha……”x2
In this way, Zhao Jian completed his first business without danger, and they left the valley with the joy of the tribal people, and all kinds of excited cheers and crackling gunshots could be heard behind them. This made Zhao Jian wonder if those bullets could hold out until they needed to use them.
"How? I did a good job, didn't I? ”
Out of the walled gate, Zhao Jian loosened his collar and asked the others with a smug face, and several bodyguards sent by Liang Guoxiong all gave him a thumbs up. THE SCENE JUST NOW COULDN'T BE HELD BY ORDINARY PEOPLE, BUT ZHAO JIAN, WHO WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD, COULD HANDLE IT WITH EASE, WHICH MADE THEM SIGH THAT THE CHILDREN OF THIS BIG FAMILY WERE DIFFERENT.
Returning to the mule and horse team, Qin Heng saw that Zhao Jian was back talking and laughing, and the hanging heart finally fell back. The Zhao family's lineage is now left with such a lone seedling as Zhao Jian, Qin Hengsheng is afraid that he will do something bad again, but now it seems that Zhao Jian is not only fine, but also may be a big thing in the future.
With the first successful experience, the subsequent sales were much easier, and in the selection of sales objects, Zhao Jian believed that it was necessary to select those small tribes whose survival was seriously threatened as much as possible, because these customers were willing to pay a lot of money for weapons, and the British did not pay much attention to them, and by the time they found these guns, Zhao Jianren had already returned to China.
Over the next two weeks, they sold 300 guns to six tribes and exchanged them for more than 40 diamonds, the largest of which was the size of a pigeon's egg. Zhao Jian felt that only this one, as long as he went back to a famous craftsman to polish and carve it, he might be able to earn back all the 5 million francs in arrears at the auction.
"It's developed! I didn't expect the arms business to be so profitable! ”
After counting the days, there are still 25 days before the Zuihou deadline, and Zhao Jian feels that he should work harder, sell the remaining 150 guns, and make enough money to return to China. When the time comes, I will take some to honor his stepfather and thank him for helping him through this difficult time.
"Singh, which tribe are we going to next?"
"If you look for it again, you have to go to the vicinity of Mount Kinabalu, there are more small tribes around."
The "sacred mountain" in Singh's mouth is the highest peak on the African continent - Mount Kilimanjaro. In the eyes of Tanzanians, she used to be a mother mountain that brought them infinite vitality, but now it is developing in the direction of "stepmother".
Once an extinct volcano and covered in snow all year round, Mount Kilimanjaro was "activated" in the Jutland Space War when several large warships crashed near it. Out of fear, most of the large tribes that had lived in the vicinity had moved away, and only a few of the weaker ones remained there.
"There's a volcano...... Wouldn't that be dangerous? ”
"It's 'Kibo' who suddenly popped up the lava, and it should be fine for us not to go to the tribes near it."
"How do I feel that the name of this volcano is so obscene......"
According to Singh's suggestion, Zhao led a team with 150 guns and 9 boxes of bullets to northeastern Tanzania, but what he didn't expect was that the local intelligence network was much better than he imagined, and his mule and horse team had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, and people from five tribes took the initiative to greet him, saying that he was willing to buy guns.
"Young master, why don't we have 30 guns in one tribe and sell them all equally."
Qin Heng felt that he should accept it when he saw it, and took this opportunity to quickly sell all the zuihou guns, and then hurry back to China. It's too hot in Africa, and Tanzania is known for its "hot and humidity", sweating profusely every day, and my armpits and crotch are uncomfortable to death. Qin Hengsheng was afraid that if he stayed here for a long time, he would also tan Zhao Jian as a "black man".
"Hmm...... Is that a solution, Singh, do you ask them if they agree? ”
Repeating Zhao Jian's words to several tribal representatives, the gang summed up with each other, and they all nodded in agreement. Unlike the small tribes in the central region who act as pawns under the instructions of the big tribes, the brothers and sisters who live in this neighborhood often take care of each other, so they have a good relationship, otherwise they can't come over to engage in "group buying".
But these guys are really too poor, only four tribes can take out diamonds, and the weight and color are not very good, and the chaff does not know if there is mixed glass slag in it. And the most strange thing is that there is still one who came empty-handed. The other party wanted to use a "secret", so he exchanged 30 guns from Zhao Jian.
"Dude, you're not playing with me, are you? Tell me your secret first, and I'll see if it's worth the price. ”
Zhao Jian frowned and looked at the tribal representative who only had "secrets", but the other party looked around mysteriously, and then leaned into Zhao Jian's ear and muttered in a low voice.
"Our chief confessed, he didn't get the gun, so he can't say."
"Right! Brothers, let's close today, withdraw! ”
"Oh!" xN
Seeing that Zhao Jian turned around to leave without hesitation, several bodyguards also raised the box to follow, and the representative of the tribe named Lato was in a hurry, so he fell to his knees on the spot, hugged Zhao Jian's waist tightly, and pleaded in a pleading tone, begging him to think about it again.
"Boss! Shall we be friends? ”
"Let it go."
"Can't I tell you the secret first?"
Seeing that the other party was finally willing to speak, Zhao Jian asked someone to carry the weapon box back, and then patted the two black arms on his waist, signaling the other party to let go first, and then talk about his secret.
"Say, if this secret can satisfy me, you can take all 30 guns, and if you are not satisfied, I can also give you 5, so that you can go back and have an explanation with your chieftain who slammed the door. What do you think? ”
"No problem, no problem, I'll just say ......"
It turned out that the secret that the other party wanted to tell turned out to be a hidden "treasure place"! This small tribe called "Kabbalah" lives at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and is so close to the magma gushing peak that you can even see the red glow of lava in the crater at night.
Originally, the chief was going to lead the tribe to move away, but the tribal shaman said that their sacred mountain had been injured by the "Heavenly Fire", and if they did not want to be cursed for generations for turning their backs on the mountain god, they had to stay with the injured mountain god. In desperation, the tribe had to stay on the edge of the volcano and live in fear.
During this period, their tribe organized an operation to escort the shaman up the mountain to communicate with the mountain god. But when they were halfway up the mountain, they discovered a new cave.
An iron ship that fell from the sky smashed through the mountain, and the wreckage lay in the cavern. Their people did not dare to trespass into the cave out of reverence for the sacred mountain, but the new chieftain who had just ascended the throne was a rebellious young man, and he regarded the location of the cave as a valuable secret, so he wanted to exchange his gun from Zhao Jian's hand.
After saying the secret he brought, the tribe representative looked at Zhao Jian who was deep in thought with a worried face, not knowing if the other party would agree, while Zhao Jian was thinking about another question, that is, whether it would be very risky to resell the "divine core".
If the other party is not lying, and there is really a battleship falling from the sky in the cave, it is very likely that it is one of the space battleships sunk by the warring parties during the Jutland Space War, and there will be a god core on it 100%.
In that battle, the two sides sank more than 20 warships, large and small, including 4 battlecruisers and 1 old battleship of the German High Seas Fleet. After the sinking of these large warships, all of them fell on the African continent, and the British only recovered 7 of the Genshin cores afterwards, and the rest were missing.
If Zhao Jian can get one and successfully bring it back to China, let alone pay off his debts at that time, it will not be a problem to buy another tea garden and come back!
