"What's the deal?" asked Peña, blinking, and didn't understand it.

"Of course that's enough, according to what I learned, the price of the long musket on the black market is twenty gold coins each, and the cast iron cannon is slightly more expensive, three hundred gold coins each, and a certain amount of ammunition will be given when you buy it...... There are only 16,000 gold coins in total, how can 40,000 gold coins not be enough?" Xia Zuo simply jumped to his feet, the price of black market firearms is indeed more expensive than those purchased through regular channels, but it is impossible to be so expensive.

"I'm going to buy some ammunition. Peña said.

"How much?" asked Natsuzo.

"100,000 rounds of ammunition, 400 shells. Peña said.

"Bullets are very cheap, I just bought a box of 100 rounds of ammunition for five gold coins, and the shells are more expensive, it is estimated that it costs one gold coin, so it will be calculated...... 5,000 gold coins for bullets, 2,000 gold coins for cannonballs, counting the previous 16,000, a total of only 23,000 gold coins, 40,000 is definitely enough, can't you ask for a lot of money for the shipping freight?" Xia Zuo asked.

He said...... A total of 50,000 gold coins, free shipping. Peña whispered, looking down and counting her fingers again.

"Fifty thousand gold coins? This guy has more than doubled the price, damn it. Xia Zuo cursed dissatisfiedly.

"What then?" Peña looked anxious, "he wants so much, but I don't have that much money." ”

"Do you have time tomorrow?" asked Natsuzo.

"What?" Peña asked rhetorically, a little incomprehensible, and her face turned red inexplicably.

"I'll go with you, stupid, and see if I bargain for you......" Xia Zuo pinched Peña's face and said, this is the fault of the little witch Vivien.

"Well, thank you!" Peña's face turned even redder, but fortunately it was dark and Xia Zuo couldn't see clearly.

The next evening, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere.

Xia Zuo, who shrouded her body in a black robe, let Peña stay outside the door first, walked in alone, and knocked on the counter.

Billy, the arms merchant, appeared behind the counter and said familiarly, "Dear sir, what do you want to buy?"

"Ahem!" Xia Zuo coughed lightly, looked around, leaned closer to Billy, and said, "I have a brand new batch of muskets here, do you want it?"

"What are you talking about, sir?" said Billy, pretending not to understand.

"Don't pretend it, okay?" Xia Zuo took out a bullet from his pocket and put it on the counter, and said, "I just bought it from you yesterday." ”

Billy glanced at the bullet and looked at the color of the bullet casing, it was indeed his new batch, so he was relieved, lowered his voice and smiled: "Hey, our line, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, what's the matter?

"Yes, a hundred brand-new muskets from North America, it's useless for me to keep them, give a price!" Xia Zuo lowered his voice and pretended to be very skilled.

"This ...... How about a hundred, ten gold coins?

"Ten gold coins, isn't it too low? I sell this single piece, at least fifteen gold coins......" Xia Zuo seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Hey, this gentleman, you are wrong, if you can sell a single piece, can you still come to me to sell it at one time? I have to take the risk, it takes time to sell, buy in batches, the price of my ten gold coins is high enough, I don't believe you go and ask elsewhere, there is no higher price than mine." "Billy seems to have blocked everything Xia Zuo can say, the meaning is obvious, if you don't believe it, go and ask elsewhere.

"Okay, it's just ten gold coins, hey, right, if I buy it from you, how much will it cost to have a long musket?" Xia Zuo changed his words and asked again.

"Sir, do you buy muskets or sell muskets?" Billy seemed to understand something, and the smile on his face narrowed a little.

"Of course it's for sale, no, no, don't get me wrong, I have some connections in the Boston Arsenal in North America, and I want to do this business, if it really works?

"You see, this is the latest short musket developed by the Boston Arsenal. Xia Zuo was afraid that Billy would not believe it, so he took out his silent gun again, withdrew the magazine and showed Billy the five rounds inside, and immediately put it away again.

It is not uncommon for muskets to hold five bullets, and the revolvers of the Steam Alliance can be loaded with non-bullets, although there are studies in other places, but because of the closed nature, the muskets made are less powerful and very expensive.

"Oh, Boston Arsenal?" Billy's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xia Zuo's musket, Billy believed it, paused, and lowered his voice: " Okay, since you want to do business, I'll tell you something, this firearm, the bigger the thing, the profit is about high, the short musket because of the flood of skills, has not made much money, this long musket, in the black market generally sells for fifteen gold coins, but to divide people, some people he does not understand the mystery inside, thinking that the price of firearms is very expensive, to say that it is more expensive in other places is understandable, but in our British City, the center of the world, the price is not high, so when you meet those who do not understand, you can double the price......"

Whoa!

As Billy spoke, Natsuzo's elbow pressing against the counter suddenly slipped and his body tilted, and the bullet in his pocket fell to the ground crackling.

"I'm sorry, I'll put it away right away. Xia Zuo quickly apologized and leaned over to pick up the bullets.

At that moment, Peña, who had received a code outside the door, walked into the grocery store in her robe and came to the counter.

Billy's eyes lit up again, he remembered the clothes Peña was wearing, the person who could make him a lot of money, he would not forget.

"Huh, is that you?" Peña had just stopped at the counter, but looked at Xia Zuodao as if he was surprised.

"Ah, is that you?" Xia Zuo also pretended to be surprised, stood up, but pretended to be a little angry and said, "You don't want my firearms, come here to buy them?"

"Honey you're angry again, I just don't want to owe you much. Peña blushed when she said this, but no one could see it because of the robe.

After the two finished speaking, they turned to look at Billy behind the counter at the same time, and Xia Zuo spoke first: "This is my friend, you take care of it more." ”

"Oh, oh!" Billy realized that the situation was wrong, looked at the two of them in a daze, answered dryly, suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, and muttered: "Oh God!" He reacted to it all, and was very annoyed in his heart, he knew that he had been tricked by this man.

"Alright sir, it's just a pleasant joke, I don't have much to do with the Boston Arsenal, but ......," Shazo said in a long voice.

Billy's face was a little embarrassed, how could there be any arms dealers who were easy to talk to, they were all engaged in illegal business, although they were not all ruthless, but at least they were not ordinary people who could provoke.

"Actually, I really want to cooperate with you, this is the construction drawing of the latest model of revolver, which is more closed than any current revolver, and will never leak air......" Xia Zuo took out a firearm design from his pocket and placed it on the counter.

Billy didn't seem to believe Xia Zuo, hesitated to pick up the picture, and after looking at it twice, his face changed suddenly, he had been in the arms business for more than twenty years, and even once designed a single-shot long musket, it was impossible not to understand the construction diagram of the musket.

Peña also looked at Xia Zuo and wanted to ask, but she couldn't help it, Xia Zuo didn't tell her about it.

"This gun can ......" Billy looked at it for a long time before putting down the picture, a little excited and speechless.

"That's right, this gun can be loaded with eight bullets......" Xia Zuo smiled: "The design drawings in your hand are only one-third of the total design drawings, and the other two drawings are still with me, you take them and look at them first, if you think we can cooperate, I will come to hear your reply in three days......"

"Good sir, you are really, amazing!" Billy's attitude towards Xia Zuo has completely changed, and the design of the ordinary firearm that he asked for from Ray is simply impossible to measure in terms of money for Billy, because the firearm designed by this drawing is likely to directly change the market pattern of revolvers.

Although the market for revolvers is small, this luxury firearm has always been a favorite of the aristocracy, who don't care about the small amount of money they spend on a gun, and if the gun is actually designed, it will definitely make a lot of money.

"Alright, now it's time to talk about my friend. Shazo tilted his head in Peña's direction.

"Hello Miss, what do you want?" Billy immediately looked at Peña.

"Five hundred spears, twenty cast-iron cannons, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, four hundred rounds ......of shells," Peña reported very familiarly, and she had practiced many times in order not to be frightened.

"Where?" asked Billy again.

"The port of Harding in South America is a small port, and as long as Miss Peña's stuff arrives, someone will pick it up there......," Peña said.

"Very good, eight hundred spears, thirty steel guns, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, one thousand shells...... Delivered within a month. Billy looked down and remembered.

"No, you're mistaken...... I don't have that much money...... "Peña was anxious.

"I've given it to you, Miss Peña...... Don't want money. Billy raised his head, smiled slightly, and then turned to look at Xia Zuo and said, "Sir, do you think this is okay?"

Xia Zuo raised his hand and made an OK gesture to Billy, and said with a convincing expression on his face, "You really surprised me." ”

In fact, Xia Zuo really admires it, and I have to say that every successful businessman has courage and courage that ordinary people do not have.
