Manager Xiao thought for a while and said: "Germany's Luo Guo Picker, Snake Brand Picker, as well as Austria-Hungary's Steyr M1907 pistol and Steyr M1912 pistol, what do you want?" ”

Wang Wenwu said: "Germany's Luo Guo and Snake brand are ten each, is the bullet a bullet?" ”

"You can use Paraberen bullets, do you want to buy more bullets?"

"Then you said that Paraberen will have three thousand rounds,"

"Okay, do you want a machine gun?"

"Is a machine gun also a pound of silver dollars?"

"Yes, it's also a pound of silver dollars, where do you want?"

"I don't understand this, you can tell me too."

"Okay, there are two kinds of machine guns, one is one with a gun mount, and the other one can be carried and run by one person, you can have both."

"I still want to be able to run with one person, it's hard to sell a gun holder."

"One person can run with it, there's the Madsen light machine gun, and the Hatch Chase light machine gun and the Bergman light machine gun."

"I haven't heard of this, Manager Xiao, do you have any recommendations?"

"You're asking the wrong person, and I don't know if that's good."

"In this case, the first Madsen light machine gun, since it is a machine gun, this bullet is not, send more."

"How much do you want to buy, and I'll see how about sending it to you?"

"Okay, then you can see how much this skin is worth."

"Okay, please wait!"

Wang Wenwu sent the skins into the courtyard of the foreign company, and Manager Xiao hurriedly called the guys from the foreign company to count the skins, and this big battle led to a foreigner.

The foreigner walked up to Manager Xiao: "Xiao, these skin are all out of place?" How much is the value here?” [Xiao, have these skins been counted? How much is it worth? 】

Manager Xiao saw the foreigner and immediately replied: "Mr. Nord, is still in a list here, but it is estimated that there will be no less than 10,000 silver dollars." [Mr. Ned, I'm still counting here, but it's estimated that it won't be less than ten thousand silver dollars.] 】

“Xiao， is beautiful， is the skin this gentleman?” [Xiao, well done, is the skin from this gentleman? 】

Manager Xiao said: "Yes, Mr. Wang also has a military fire in the Vladivostock we purchased". 】

“Oh， we have a military fire on the ship of the Malacca Strait. Do you ask if he wants? If you want the ship， you don't go to Vladivostok.” [Oh, we have a ship carrying arms across the Strait of Malacca, if you ask him if he wants it, if he does, the ship will not go to Vladivostok. 】

Manager Xiao said, "OK." [Okay.] 】

Manager Xiao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, this is Mr. Ned, and he is the director of our Hadley Foreign Company. ”

Wang Wenwu said to the foreigner, Mr. Ned, "Hello Mr. Ned,"

Ned bends down!

Manager Xiao continued: "Our Ned director, there is a proposal that goes like this. ”

"Speak!"

"That's right, we just have a ship with munitions that is about to arrive, and it was supposed to be shipped to Vladivostok, and I hope you can buy them all."

"Oh, I don't know what's in there."

Manager Xiao said to Ned, "He wants to know which arms have been transported in the ship." [He wanted to know what munitions were in that ship.] 】

"There are five thousand Messe GeWehR98 rifles, and 100,000 bullets," Ned said. [There are 5,000 German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles, and a matching 100,000 rounds of ammunition]

Manager Xiao translated: "There are five thousand German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles on board, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. What do you think? ”

Wang Wenwu said: "Five thousand guns, how can I eat it." ”

Manager Xiao said to Ned, "He doesn't have so much money, can't buy it." [He doesn't have that much money, he can't buy it]

Ned nodded, turned and left. Wang Wenwu looked at Manager Xiao, "What does he mean by this!" ”

Manager Xiao said: "What he originally thought was that if you bought the ship's things, the ship would not go to Vladivostok and save some money." ”

"It's not that no one pays, you directors are so stingy,"

"Then do you know how much it costs to go to Vladivostok, besides, there is nothing good to ship back, if you buy it, the foreign company can save at least a thousand silver dollars."

"A thousand silver dollars, that's a lot, but I don't have that much money, by the way, I've ordered when the gun will arrive!"

"I'll look back, and the boat will come back for you! How many guns do you want, how many machine guns do you need. ”

"What are you anxious about, isn't this skin still unfinished, I'll tell you when it's over."

"Okay, it's almost ready."

In the end, the guy finished counting, and Manager Xiao calculated and said to Wang Wenwu: "We have collected all these skins from Hadley Foreign Bank, and I will give you a whole 18,000 silver dollars,"

"If you want this price, I'll go to Hengxingxiang." After saying that, Wang Wenwu wanted to load the car, Manager Xiao hurriedly stopped him, and said to the Banye who received the things: "Wait, wait, you wait, we are talking, talking, don't move!" ”

"Master Wu, don't be impulsive, the price is negotiable!"

"These skins are counted in my heart, and the price you opened is three hundred oceans less than Hengxingxiang! Three hundred oceans is not a decimal! ”

"Look at how about we take a step back, eighteen thousand one hundred and fifty silver dollars."

Wang Wenwu thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "You can give me 18,150 silver dollars, you give me 15,000 silver dollars first, and the rest should be fixed, and when the goods arrive, I will settle the rest." ”

"Okay, we'll make up our minds. Master Wu, please, let's determine the type of goods. ”

"Manager Xiao, please!"

Manager Xiao invited Wang Wenwu into the reception room, and Manager Xiao said, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare money for you." ”

"Good work."

After the guy finished serving tea, Manager Xiao withdrew, while Wang Wenwu was reading the newspaper and drinking tea in the reception room.

It didn't take long for Manager Xiao to come in and hand over a check with both hands.

Manager Xiao said: "Master Wu, this is a check from HSBC, you collect it first, and you can confirm the paperwork of this skin." ”

Wang Wenwu confirmed that the document was good, and it was the same as what he had just discussed, and he put pen to paper and signed his name.

Manager Xiao put away the paperwork, "Master Wu, our leather matter is over, let's talk about guns, how much do you want to buy?" ”

"Since it is bought by the pound, then bring 13,000 catties of Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles or Austro-Hungarian Manlisha M1895 rifles, and then 2,000 catties of Madsen light machine guns, Luo Guo and Snake brand guns of each 10, and Paraberen 3,000 rounds. Do you remember? ”

"Remember, you see, right?"

Wang Wenwu determined the quantity and the price was right. "That's right, Manager Xiao asks a question!"

"You say!"

"Did you know that the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle or the Austro-Hungarian Manlicia M1895 rifle uses one type of bullet?"

"I really don't know, what are you?"

"I don't have bullets when I buy a gun, won't the gun become a burning stick, I plan to buy some bullets, but I don't know if these two guns use one kind of bullet."

"Wait, I'll ask!"

Manager Xiao turned around and went out, and came back after a long time, "The Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle must be cartridged with a Mauser rifle, and the Manlisha M1895 rifle is also cartridged with a Mauser rifle, but I don't know which kind it is in Vladivostok,"

"Then let's wait for the gun to arrive and buy bullets!"
