Chapter 81

The wooden box was quickly bought, and after saying goodbye to Shu Jinxi, he left Lyon and went to Marseille.

Fortunately, Wang Wenwu arrived in time, and if it was a day late, the boat would have sailed away. The ship sailed to Mumbai, India, and the cargo ship needed to dock in Mumbai for a few days, and there were many goods to be disembarked, and a lot of goods to be shipped from India to China.

Because it was a cargo ship, the cabin was very small, and when it was docked, Wang Wenwu planned to take a good look around Mumbai, and then told Jacques, who was escorting the ship, about raising his salary, and asked him to take care of his goods, so Wang Wenwu went ashore.

Call a car and take you to the best hotel, the Watson Hotel in Mumbai, the hotel's front desk says that the hotel features spacious open balconies on each floor that connect the rooms built around an atrium courtyard.

After a two-day visit to Mumbai, Mumbai's textile industry is very developed, the economy is very active, and the streets are very lively.

But Wang Wenwu no longer had money in his pocket to buy goods and ship them back to China. As for the kerosene in the space, Wang Wenwu did not dare to put it on the market without complete certainty, so he had to give up.

It is also necessary to talk about the problem of Indians using their hands when eating, I have long heard that Indians and Pakistanis use their left hand to clean the toilet, so they only use their right hand when eating, and if you extend your left hand when shaking hands with others, it is also disrespectful to the other party. However, it is really laborious to tear the naan with one hand, so Wang Wenwu of Mumbai always does not adapt to their eating habits.

Especially in the practice of vegetables, Indians especially like to grind vegetables into a paste, and the color is green or yellow-green. When eating, if it is naan, tear off a piece and then dip it in the vegetable paste with your hands to eat, if it is rice, pour the vegetable paste on top, stir it and eat.

Of course, this special food can't be enjoyed alone, Wang Wenwu ordered a table of Indian specialties and invited Jacques to come along. In the end, I ordered Western food to solve the problem.

After the ship is loaded with goods, it sails directly to Shanghai, because the cargo ship does not go to Tianjin, and can only unload the goods to Shanghai.

Because it was originally in tatters, in order to protect the appearance, a lot of hay was stuffed in the bag, and when unloading the goods, no one found out that it was a rifle unloaded, but Wang Wenwu took the opportunity to put a small half of kerosene and munitions together.

After learning about the price of kerosene, kerosene was sold at a price of two cents per catty, and in order not to attract the attention of others, it was always sold in small quantities, and only when the arms were on the ship did the kerosene in the warehouse be sold in one go. That is, Shanghai, there may be no other city in China that can absorb so much kerosene. At this time, lighting in China was not yet popular, and ordinary people used kerosene to light lamps.

Kerosene, China is rich in reserves, limited by the current environment and technology, has not been able to start production, domestic needs must be imported from abroad,

Even if only a small half of it was sold, the high-priced commodity of kerosene still allowed Wang Wenwu not only to transport arms back to China without spending money, but also to earn thousands of oceans.

Sun Muen's father, worthy of being the head snake in Tianjin, quickly helped Wang Wenwu find a safe warehouse, and when the goods were unloaded, he sent a housekeeper to invite Wang Wenwu to a banquet, and he just needed to bring the family letter to Sun Muen's family.

It is said that the banquet is actually a family gathering, only Sun Muen's family is there, Sun Muen's father is called Sun Yunchuan, as for what Sun Yunchuan does, Wang Wenwu is not clear.

Sun Yunchuan looked at the young man in front of him, although he didn't know what was in the warehouse, but Sun Yunchuan knew that if all the goods in the warehouse were sold, this kid would have a lot of money in his hands.

So he said with a smile: "You are the husband of classmate Muen, how should I call you?" ”

Wang Wenwu cheered up as soon as he entered the door, this kind of big man would not invite him to eat for no reason, and now he knows that the meat drama is coming, "The elders in the family call me Wenwu, you are Miss Sun's father, and you are also my elder, you call me Wenwu, can I still not agree!" ”

"Since that's the case, I'll call you Wenwu, and you call me uncle."

"Hey, Uncle Sun, this is the letter that Miss Sun asked me to bring." After speaking, he handed the letter to Sun Yunchuan,

Sun Yunchuan had tears in his eyes after seeing it, and said: "Oh, thank you Wenwu, my daughter has never left my side!" But the eagle always has to grow, and I can't keep her tied to me all the time, she wants to see the outside world, which is a good thing! ”

"I admire that Miss Sun was able to decide to go to France to study alone when she didn't know French at all."

"I'm proud of her, how is she living in France? How's the food? ”

Wang Wenwu talked about the Ritz Hotel, and French food, and especially asked the housekeeper to bring the gifts brought by Wang Wenwu.

"Uncle Sun, these are all things I brought back from France, and they are also things that Miss Sun often eats."

"Oh, let's try it then!"

Sun Yunchuan called the chef and hurriedly got the things and brought them up, which can only be said to be worthy of being a big family, even Western food cooks.

The chef was also nimble, and he quickly served it, and Sun Yunchuan tried it, "Well, it's really different from domestic Western food." ”

Wang Wenwu introduced the customs of France on the side.

After the meal, Sun Yunchuan took Wang Wenwu to the study, handed over a cigar, and personally helped Wang Wenwu light it.

Sun Yunchuan said: "Wenwu! What did you bring back? ”

Sun Yunchuan should know that Wang Wenwu brought back a large number of guns, although he didn't know what Sun Yunchuan's idea was, but Wang Wenwu was still hesitant to say it, Sun Yunchuan said again: "Now that the situation is chaotic, it is natural for you to have some ideas, but when the situation is chaotic, you can't fight alone!" ”

It seems that Sun Yunchuan wants to take a bite of the gun and ammunition, and Wang Wenwu doesn't want Sun Yunchuan to look down on him, so he said: "Uncle Sun, it's the first time I've started a small business to make some money and live a good life." ”

Sun Yunchuan's smile became stronger and stronger, and said: "You are not a small business, a small business will not use such a large warehouse, you are also my junior, how about taking care of your Uncle Sun?" ”

Although there is a feeling of being eaten, it is not bad if you can get rid of it at one time, after all, so many guns King Wenwu will sell them for a long time, and these guns are all spelled out of tatters, I don't know if the bolt will rust to death if it is put away for a long time, "I don't know, what price Uncle plans to pay!" ”

"What's the good stuff in your bunch!"

"Nearly six thousand intact French Lebel M1886s, and 8x50 mm ammunition!"

Sun Yunchuan was surprised, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to get so many guns, and asked curiously: "You still say it's a small business, I can't eat these goods in your hand!" How about you count your shares? ”

Wang Wenwu doesn't want to buy shares, these big people always want to make a big deal, so it's not easy to get out, so he said carefully: "Uncle Sun is definitely going to do big things, I'm a little common man, I don't dare to mix indiscriminately!" ”
