Wang Wenwu called a few board masters near the door of his house, loaded his things, and followed Lao Qian to the barracks. After Lao Qian stepped forward to negotiate, Wang Wenwu and his entourage entered the barracks, and an officer came to inspect the gun. Lao Qian said to Wang Wenwu: If Wang Wenwu finishes it, he will go to him, and he will go to the master now.

Wang Wenwu opened the box and handed over a rifle, the officer skillfully checked the gun, and when he saw that the officer had finished checking a gun, Wang Wenwu hurriedly handed over the cigarette.

Wang Wenwu said: "Master Jun, you smoke!" After seeing the officer take the cigarette, Wang Wenwu scattered his cigarettes.

The officer said, "You're all old guns!" ”

Wang Wenwu handed over a pack of brand-new cigarettes and said, "It was Lord Xu, who asked the villain to send it." ”

The officer took the cigarette and said, "Your Excellency didn't ask you to send you an old gun!" ”

Wang Wenwu stuffed the pocket watch that he had just brought back not long ago into the officer's pocket.

The officer reached into his pocket and fumbled it, "Well, come in with me and get a note." ”

In the end, Wang Wenwu took the slip and only received a check for 17,000 silver dollars. Wang Wenwu looked at the money in his hand and couldn't believe that this was so much less. There was no way, Wang Wenwu found the old money and followed him to see Lord Xu

In a luxurious room, Wang Wenwu met Master Xu.

Lord Xu waved his hand and asked Wang Wenwu to come and sit, "Come, sit here." After speaking, he pointed to the stool in front of him.

Wang Wenwu replied and sat down in front of Lord Xu.

Master Xu said: "I heard Lao Qian say that you can still get arms. Is it. ”

Wang Wenwu replied: "Lord Xu is like this, a while ago, I heard in the foreign bank that they have a shipload of arms to be transported to Vladivostok, all of them have passed Malacca, and one of their directors named Ned can call the shots and sell all the arms, but this ship of arms is all old, he said that it is full of German and Austro-Hungarian rifles, and I estimate that there are a lot of rusty ones in it." ”

Lord Xu thought for a while and said, "What about the price?" ”

"They want thirty silver dollars per gun and sixty more bullets."

"How long will it take for their stuff to arrive?"

"I don't know."

"Well, take the old money with you, you listen to the old money."

"Got it."

Wang Wenwu and Lao Qian left the barracks, Wang Wenwu said to Lao Qian: "Lao Qian, you see it's not too early, we need a lot of time to enter the city now, it's better for us to go tomorrow!" ”

Old Qian looked at the sky and said, "It's okay!" ”

After Wang Wenwu separated from Lao Qian, he immediately rushed to Hadley & Co. before getting off work, and rushed to Hadley & Co.

Entering the door and finding Manager Xiao, Manager Xiao introduced Wang Wenwu into the office, made a cup of tea for Wang Wenwu and asked:

"Master Wu, what's wrong with you, what's the matter?"

Wang Wenwu took a sip of the tea in the cup and said, "Manager Xiao, there is such a thing. I'd like to ask you first. ”

Manager Xiao returned: "Please say,"

Wang Wenwu said: "The last time I came, didn't your director, Mr. Ned, say that you have a ship carrying arms that is about to arrive in China? ”

"Yes, do you want the arms on this ship?" Manager Xiao said happily.

Wang Wenwu waved his hand again and again: "It's not me, it's not me, I'll introduce you to the customer, he can buy them all, but okay!" Wang Wenwu threw Yuan Datou in his hand.

Manager Xiao immediately knew, "Please rest assured, I will never treat you badly, and I will give you 10% of the price." ”

Wang Wenwu said: "This is a big guest, I want a lot this time, and I won't ask for less in the future." ”

Manager Xiao whispered: "Master Wu, you are now the door of the house!" ”

Wang Wenwu lowered his head and drank tea, "Why are you planning to kick me out after inquiring clearly!" ”

Manager Xiao hurriedly said: "How can it, don't ask, I don't ask, do you think it's okay!" ”

Wang Wenwu raised his head and said to Manager Xiao: "I don't want much, 20% of the price." ”

Manager Xiao thought for a while, "Okay, when are you going to bring someone here?" ”

Wang Wenwu said: "Tomorrow, I am talking about 35 silver dollars per rifle and 60 rounds of ammunition. ”

Manager Xiao glanced at Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, your price is really high." ”

"You sell thousands of guns at a time, and I sell a few guns, and of course the price is different."

Manager Xiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, whatever you say." I know, you're going to bring someone tomorrow, I know what to say. ”

Wang Wenwu saw that Manager Xiao already knew, so he got up and left.

Manager Xiao sent Wang Wenwu to the door, and the two sides said goodbye and turned to leave.

The next day, Wang Wenwu got up early and went to the place agreed with Lao Qian for breakfast. When Wang Wenwu was almost finished, the old money was late.

Wang Wenwu saw the arrival of Lao Qian and said to him: "Old Qian, have you had breakfast?" ”

Lao Qian pulled out the stool and made it, "I've eaten it at home." You eat slowly, there is no me waiting for you. ”

Wang Wenwu pointed to the food in front of him and said, "You really don't want to have some more, this tastes good." If you don't try it, I especially recommend their fried liver, it's really good. ”

Lao Qian, watching Wang Wenwu gulp down fried liver, said to the guy: "Hey, hey~, man, here's a fried liver." ”

The guy shouted, "Stir-fry the liver!" ”

It didn't take long for the guy to bring a fried liver, and the old money was praised again and again.

After the two finished eating, they followed Wang Wenwu to Hadley.

Manager Xiao had been guarding the door, and when he saw Wang Wenwu bringing someone over, he hurriedly greeted him.

Manager Xiao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, I haven't seen you for a while, today, what kind of wind blew you here." ”

Wang Wenwu said: "Yo, Manager Xiao, you are complaining about me, but your things are too expensive, I don't dare to come often." ”

Manager Xiao said: "Alas, I have good things at a good price, and I don't know if this is that." ”

Wang Wenwu introduced Lao Qian to Manager Xiao: "This is Mr. Qian, he is a big customer, you have to entertain him." ”

Manager Xiao hurriedly said to Lao Qian: "Mr. Qian, you will definitely use the lowest price to get the best goods in our Hadley Foreign Company." ”

Lao Qian said to Manager Xiao: "I just believe in your Hadley Foreign Company, so I came." ”

Manager Xiao said yes again and again, and introduced Wang Wenwu and Lao Qian into his office. Some foreign bank staff brought tea and coffee, and after Manager Xiao and others sat down, they said to Wang Wenwu:

"Master Wu, what are you here to buy this time?"

Wang Wenwu took a sip of tea and said: "Last time, many of your directors, Mr. Ned, said that you have a ship that is about to arrive in China, just the one that transports arms on it. ”

Manager Xiao said happily: "How can Master Wu, do you want this Mr. Qian next to you?" ”

Wang Wenwu said: "Manager Xiao, you can first introduce what is on that ship. ”

Manager Xiao said to Lao Qian: "There are 5,000 German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition on board. I don't know if you want it all? ”
