Wang Wenwu greeted Steward Liu for a while, and Wang Wenwu asked Steward Liu: "Steward Liu, you said, you are also from Zhangjiakou, I don't know, is Zhangjiakou's gun easy to sell?" ”

Steward Liu thought for a while and replied: "There have always been many bandits in Zhangjiakou, not to mention bandits, even we ourselves also need guns for self-defense, and guns naturally need a lot, I don't know if Master Wu has a short gun?" ”

"This short gun is much more expensive than the long gun, and I buy a lot less, this is the first time I have done this kind of business, and you say that I buy that kind of goods."

"Yes, but Master Wu, if you bring in some short guns for those butler ladies, you should be able to make a lot of money."

"Do you think I haven't thought about it! You just say how to sell guns to those ladies, and the family only sells one or two, or the long guns are more selling. ”

"Yes, but the next time you buy the goods, you can buy a few short guns, and I will give them to the host's young lady."

"It's no problem, Manager Liu, except for the two hundred this time, I don't know if anyone else wants a gun?"

"I knew you wanted to ask this, in order to make your money, I asked everything. Maybe you sold the gun to the second master, and the proprietors of the Zhangjiakou merchants were robbed fiercely, and every household increased their manpower, and I can help you snatch two hundred and sixty-four guns from the foreign bank! ”

"Thank you very much, you brought the money with you."

"Look, I've got the other wagons here."

"It's all changed to leather,"

"Let's barter, most of the proprietors in Zhangjiakou are in the leather business, and when I see that you want skins, I won't send them to you."

"Then you have to wait, you rest in BJ City, I have to deal with all the skins, I have a good idea."

"Yo, come and see, it's a good leather,"

"Are you in a hurry to leave?"

"Didn't you sell the bandit gun to the second master again, the owners are in a hurry."

"Then don't mind if I find someone to take a look."

"How can I, I'll wait for you,"

After Wang Wenwu greeted him for a while, he came to Zhao's shopkeeper, who bought skins last time, to see the goods.

Wang Wenwu found the shopkeeper Zhao, and introduced each other to Steward Liu to greet each other.

Steward Liu said: "Come, come, shopkeeper Zhao, you are an expert, you come to inspect, these finished skins are all fine leather tanning." The leather board is white, the fur is stretched and shiny, and the leather coat is plump and soft, with good elasticity. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao picked up the skins and checked them one by one

Shopkeeper Zhao said to Wang Wenwu: "That's right, it's all good skin," after saying that, he arched his hand to the two, Wang Wenwu wanted to give Zhao's shopkeeper tea money, but Zhao's shopkeeper resolutely refused to accept it.

After saying goodbye to Steward Liu, Shopkeeper Zhao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, if you sell this skin, please find me." ”

"Well said, well said."

After Wang Wenwu and Liu watched Zhao's shopkeeper leave.

Steward Liu said, "Master Wu, see when you can get a gun." ”

"You definitely won't be able to leave today, I'll invite you to have a meal at Lanwei Zhai first, Ming'er, you can take your things away."

"Thank you so much, Master Wu."

"I'll take the skin away first, let's see you in the evening,"

"Okay, I'll see you in the evening."

Wang Wenwu called Banye, unloaded the skin, and dragged it all the way to Hadley Foreign Bank, where the previous Manager Xiao greeted him.

Manager Xiao stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Yo, Master Wu, I just said why the magpie is calling this morning, it turns out that you are here." ”

Manager Xiao saw the car full of leather followed by Wang Wenwu, "That's where you got it, since you pulled us to Hadley Bank, we will definitely give a good price." ”

"This is an indefinite thing, I just asked the price first, I am all Hengxingxiang's shopkeeper Zhao to help see, he can confiscate my tea money!"

"Hengxingxiang's shopkeeper Zhao, I know, his skins are also sold to our Hadley Foreign Company."

"As long as you don't dislike me, just ask for the price."

"How can it be, do you want anything else, we Hadley & Co. sell you cheaply."

"Then I'll ask!"

"Yo, what are you polite to me!"

"It's Manlisha, what kind of price are you now!"

"You're still here today, didn't the Entente want to restore the Russian Empire the year before last!"

"Well, there is such a thing, but didn't the newspaper say a while ago that we didn't withdraw our troops stationed in Siberia, didn't they all come back?"

"There are still those who haven't come back, the important thing is to bring a lot of guns over,"

"Cannon, I can't ask for it, what's the situation with the gun."

"What else can it be, it's the same as the last batch of guns, it's all old guns, but this time you don't have to ship it from Europe, how about it, you want a few guns!"

"Then tell me what the price is, if it's expensive, then you still give me silver dollars,"

"This time it's a pound of silver dollars, and this price is cheaper than the last time you bought it!"

"Yo, yo, your business is really top-notch, or how can you be a manager."

"Oh, I'm really embarrassed for your boasting."

"Don't, don't be embarrassed, I'll tell you something, don't mind if you hear it!"

"Okay, please say"

"That's right, after I received the gun before, you must know that I have never touched it, I am curious, and I specially weighed it, how heavy this gun is."

Manager Xiao dodged his eyes and said, "You still weigh it!" ”

Wang Wenwu looked directly at Manager Xiao and said, "Do you know how heavy the Manlixia rifle I bought last time, let me tell you, nine catties, a gun weighs nine catties." ”

Manager Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the gun is so heavy, a pound and a silver dollar, isn't this the same as last time, the same as last time, Wu Ye, I'm sorry, brother, oh, I'm really embarrassed, it's all my brother." ”

"Manager Xiao, you are not a person who wields knives and guns, I don't know, it's normal,"

When Manager Xiao heard this, he hurriedly went down the slope: "That's it, that's it, brother, I usually don't have much to do with this gun, Master Wu, don't blame me." Brother, I'll give you more bullets," Manager Xiao lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Send a hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun, what do you think!" ”

"Does this bullet occupy an area, you can send more!"

"Then you can tell me the number,"

"Five hundred rounds per gun,"

"Master Wu, this is too much, I'll give you one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition for each gun, what do you think?"

"Okay, look at your urgency,"

Manager Xiao also cooperated to wipe his sweat.

Wang Wenwu continued: "What kind of guns are these! It's not rusty! Last time, there was a little bit of rust, and I wiped it off little by little, if it weren't for the much, I would have hired someone to wipe the gun. ”

"It's inevitable that this will go by sea, after all, it's not new!"

"Then let's talk ahead of time, if there's rust, you'll have to get it off for me,"

"Okay, in Vladivostok are all Allied guns, there are German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles, Austria-Hungary Manlishia M1895 rifles, do you want machine guns?"

"Machine guns, etc., will say, is this pistol available in Vladivostok?"

"Of course there is, and it's all from the Allies, how about the box cannon."

"It's too big, if there are small ones, just use them for self-defense."
