Ten days later.
"Master, Fern wants to see you!" Vernon said respectfully.
"Oh, where is he?" said Shazo, turning to look at Vernon.
He explained a lot of things to Fern, but for security reasons, Fern couldn't find him directly, and Vernon would check regularly to see if there were any messages from Fern.
......
"You're looking for me?"
In the dimly lit tavern, Xia Zuo sat in a chair in the corner, and Fern had been waiting for a long time.
"Uta Xian......"
"Amon, my name is Amon now!"
"Oh, Monsieur Amon, I have found the arms dealer you asked me to check, and according to the information, he must be the third largest arms dealer in the west of France, and the only ones you showed me last time were selling tongs, and their head was an Irish merchant named Eugene Woods. Fern whispered, looking a little nervous.
"Where are they?" asked Xia Zuo in a low voice.
"In the small town of Saint-Lenan, five kilometers northwest of Brest. Fern replied, looking around unnaturally.
It was daytime, and there was no one in the tavern, except for two or three drunks who were asleep on the table at another time.
"You've been investigated?" Xia Zuo frowned slightly, feeling a little funny.
"The sheriff approached me for a conversation and asked you some questions when you came. Fern said.
"Oh, didn't you ask me any questions or something?"
"Nope. ”
"Then what are you worried about, they must think that I followed the Seahorse Mercenary Group, it has been more than ten days, it is impossible for them to investigate you, you have been doing business in Brest for decades, and it is still very credible. Xia Zuo laughed, there were no stalkers around, he was sure before he entered the tavern.
"Hmm...... I've already spoken to Eugene Woods, and he's got time tomorrow at noon, so Mr. Amon ......" Fern looked up.
"No problem. It's just noon tomorrow!" Xia Zuo nodded.
"One more thing......" Fern spoke again, looking at Xia Zuo with a hesitant look.
"What is it?" Xia Zuo smiled and said, "Please, there is anything else to say to me." ”
"That's right, recently our Chamber of Commerce took over a task, but the funds are insufficient, and all members of the Chamber of Commerce have been called on to invest. The minimum investment amount is 500,000 gold...... I also want to participate, but most of my assets are fixed assets and I can't come up with half a million cash, so I want to ...... I don't know if Mr. Amon can help. Fern said with some embarrassment, this guy is a successful businessman, but Xia Zuo has already given him a lot. So he had some difficulty opening his mouth.
"Borrow money, you guy, haha......" Xia Zuo laughed, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of business? You are so interested? If you lose this 500,000 gold, you will go bankrupt." ”
"I won't lose it, Mr. Amon, and the principal will be returned in three years of this investment. Between 30 and 100 percent of the principal amount of profits, as long as it is invested, there is no need for the investor to do anything, and the Chamber of Commerce will be solely responsible for the operation of this mission......," Fern said, a little excited.
"What is it?" Xia Zuo was also interested.
"Fighting City!"
"So what?"
"Well, this time the World Fighting Championship was supposed to be held in a year, but the Fighting League suddenly announced that the event would be postponed for three years. In five years' time, and to build fighting cities around the world for competitions, you know, if all the fighting cities around the world are built, this will be a place where professionals gather, and it will be important enough to change the pattern of the world. Therefore, the Fighting Federation does not want the major fighting cities to be in the hands of any country, and they cannot come up with funds to build these cities alone, so they openly raise funds to build fighting cities. ”
"Let Fighting City be in the hands of a large group of different races. In the hands of people from different countries and different languages, the purpose of reconciliation is achieved, so that the fighting city will not be occupied by a certain level of force and cause chaos. ”
"In the whole of France, there will be four fighting cities, all of which can accommodate tens of millions of people at the same time, the construction qualification of western France has been obtained by our Chamber of Commerce, the French Chamber of Commerce because it is state-owned, so it cannot participate, our Chamber of Commerce intends to raise 500 million gold to build a fighting city in western France, 500 million gold is divided into 1,000 shares, 500,000 gold each, as long as 500,000 gold is invested, there will be one-thousandth of the ownership of the fighting city, which is permanent, after the city is established, investors will be divided into shops, manors, etc. ”
"This is almost a sure-fire deal, the Fighting League Council will oversee the establishment of Fighting City throughout the process, the purpose of their fundraising is only to hope that Fighting City will not be controlled alone, and those who can invest are rich and powerful deposits, in order to protect their own interests, investors will not let Fighting City be destroyed due to war or the invasion of dark forces. ”
"Got it? Mr. Amon. Fern asked, looking at Xia Zuo.
"Uh-huh!" Xia Zuo nodded, he felt that the Fighting League Council had decided to build a fighting city, and the fighting tournament was definitely just an excuse, and the existence of the fighting city would weaken the existence of the country and truly change the world pattern.
"It's really a business that doesn't make money, but the cycle is relatively long, how much do you plan to invest?" Xia Zuo asked.
"500,000 gold! 500,000 gold is fine, I only have 300,000 yuan of liquid capital in my hand, and I can't invest it all, and I have other business to do, so ......" Fern rubbed his hands and looked at Xia Zuo.
......
The next day, at noon, in the small town of Saint-Lenan.
On a lush country road, the carriage galloped, with Fern himself driving the carriage and Xia Zuo sitting next to him.
The destination of the two of them was the estate of the arms dealer 'Eugene Woods'.
"Arriving soon, right there!" Fern pointed to as he pointed to a medium-sized manor house in the middle of a mountain forest, a secluded place that was rarely visited.
"It's here!"
The carriage stopped at the gate outside the manor, which seemed to be silent, with no animals in it, the lawn was overgrown with weeds, and the gate was covered with rust, and it seemed that no one lived here.
"Wait for someone to come out, I used to pass by here, I saw this manor, I thought no one lived in it, and after inquiring, I found out that it was all their disguise. This is the lair of 'Eugene Woods', and it is said that the munitions production site is located below......" Fern said in a mysterious tone, gesturing to the ground.
After waiting for about five minutes, a middle-aged gunman with a low brim came out of the manor villa and hurried to the door.
Fern went down and whispered to him through the door, then opened the door.
"He said go to the back of the villa, and we'll enter through the back door!" Fern returned to the carriage. Raised the reins.
As the carriage entered the manor and made a detour behind the villa, Fern and Chazzo saw a number of people, some professionals and gunmen, all sitting in the shade of the trees, playing cards. When they saw the carriage coming in, they all looked over.
Because of the surrounding large trees and grass, people outside the manor could not see so many people gathered behind the villa.
Another gunman came out and led Shazo and Fern into the villa, through the back door, through the hallway. After turning around, we entered the central hall of the villa.
The hall is two stories high, the kind that is transparent up and down, and there are many gunmen standing in the corridor on the second floor.
On the sand sat a fat white man, about forty years old, with a skewed beard on his face, and his image was somewhat similar to that of Ferne, but his aura was completely different. Around the sand, in all corners of the hall, there were fifty or sixty guards, most of them gunmen, and a few of them professionals.
"Haha, welcome Mr. Fern, come on. Sit!" Eugene got up to greet him, laughing, and looking extremely enthusiastic.
Fern had opened up the relationship before, claiming to have a big business with Eugene. And because of his innocent family background, a native French businessman, and a little famous, Eugene was relieved to let him come to his estate.
"Mr. Eugene, this is Mr. Amon Windsor, in fact, this business is up to him to do with you, I'm just building a bridge. As soon as he sat down, Fern introduced.
"Hello!"
"Hello, Mr. Amon!haha, we're all friends here, what do you want to drink?"
......
The maid quickly served the red wine, and Eugene poured it for Fern and Xia Zuo himself, and the three of them began to negotiate the business.
The thing is very simple, Xia Zuo invested 200,000 yuan in the early stage to buy the latest muskets, artillery, special muskets and other things, and in the later stage, Xia Zuo will also invest 300,000 yuan to purchase the second batch of arms, which is a business worth 500,000 yuan before and after, which is obviously a big business.
Of course, it is simple, but in the process of actual conversation, it took a long time, and the two sides discussed the place and time of the transaction for a long time.
For two full hours, the negotiation was in the final stages, during which Eugene looked at his watch several times, as if there was something urgent.
"This is 100,000 gold, which is considered a deposit, and when the first batch of arms arrives, I will pay the other half. Xia Zuo put the 100,000 golden ticket on the coffee table.
"Good ......" Eugene picked up the golden ticket and glanced at it, handed it to the person behind him, and laughed again: "Haha, Mr. Amon is a happy person, rest assured, this batch of goods will definitely arrive on time." ”
"It's not early today, I still have business, Mr. Amon......" Eugene wanted to get up to see off the guest.
"Wait!" Xia Zuo immediately exclaimed.
"Is there anything else going on with Mr. Amon?" Eugene sat back on the sand, sipping his cigar on his face, and he had just felt that the business had gone too smoothly, as if the other party's mind was not on arms.
"Mr. Amon isn't just here for arms today, is he?" Eugene said with a smile.
"It's a bit of a problem!" Xia Zuo nodded and looked at Eugene: "I hope you can help me contact the Dutch side, it should be your master, the arms dealer who can make this kind of musket!"
Xia Zuo took out the revolver musket from his pocket and slowly placed it on the coffee table.
"Oh, I don't know any Dutch arms dealers, and Mr. Amon has found the wrong man. Eugene directly dissociated himself from the relationship, looking surprised.
"Mr. Eugene, I don't want to go around in circles with you, I was involved in the design of this gun...... Judging from the current market, the source of this musket should all come from the Netherlands, and I know better than you about the complexity of this gun, so ...... In fact, help me contact them, you have nothing to lose, maybe there are benefits. Xia Zuo looked at Eugene and said, the eyes that appeared in the gap of the fat hat seemed to see through Eugene.
