Hundreds of thousands of silver dollars!

Demons had only this number in his mind, and his breathing became rapid.

He finally calmed down: "Are you telling a joke? General Liu, you definitely don't have so much money to buy arms. All you are leading is a small army in an uprising army with limited strength. I even doubt whether your army has five hundred people."

But he still believed in his heart that what Liu Chang was telling the truth. He longed for an arms order of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars!

He seemed to feel like he was back at the large desk and signed contracts of hundreds or even thousands of pounds. He could sit in a large chair and watch the beautiful female secretary bent down to sort out the documents. The Mediterranean sunlight shone through the blinds...

"No!" Liu Chang told him: "You need to know more. My Red Turban Army is a powerful righteous army. Don't you know that we have occupied half of Wenzhou area, including two complete counties, and have more than a dozen infantry battalions with strong combat effectiveness."

"As for my troops, there are now two infantry battalions with strong combat power and a large number of auxiliary troops. Not only can you not provide a price that satisfies me, but you can't even provide a sufficient amount of arms. How can I hand over this order of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to you?"

The debate returned to the starting point, but Demons did not hold on with the temptation of interests: "As a businessman, I must first consider your ability to pay. I want to know, how many silver coins did General Liu bring this time?"

"Three thousand silver rounds, three thousand eagle oceans." Liu Chang replied directly: "But you can't even complete such a small order."

"I have sold military supplies to the maritime forces that resisted the government forces many times on the way." Demons defended: "Including Mr. Ge and Ms. Ye who you know, I have a little insufficient arms now."

In fact, although Demons sold arms many times, he added all of Ge Mengjin's "big orders". This time he set out from Shanghai, he only sold only 2,500 silver dollars of arms, and the profits of these transactions cannot be compared with Liu Chang's transaction.

You should know that Liu Chang placed an order of 2,400 silver dollars with him, while the cost of purchasing Demons in Shanghai was no more than 800 silver dollars.

However, Demons still doubted Liu Chang's ability to pay: "Since you want to provide me with an order of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, you can't just talk about it with just two thousand taels of silver."

In this era, the common currency in trade was all kinds of foreign silver coins, the so-called "silver round". A silver round weighed about seven cents and two cents. If Liu Chang's three thousand silver oceans were converted into silver liang, it would be more than two thousand one hundred taels of silver.

However, Liu Chang sneered: "You doubt my ability to pay will also open your eyes!"

As he said that, he unbuttoned the buttons on his clothes, and Demons still had a sneer on his face, but the next moment his face was filled with smiles: "Is this? Is this gold? Lord General Liu?"

The belt that Liu Chang took out contains many gold ingots that dazzled Demons. Demons' first question was: "How many ounces of gold is there?"

"Each gold ingot weighs ten taels, there are ten in total." Liu Changfeng said lightly: "This was used as a deposit, but you can't take such a big order."

A gold ingot is ten taels, and ten taels are one hundred taels. If converted into silver, it is about 1,500 taels of silver. If converted into pounds, it is just over 500 pounds, which is not as valuable as the three thousand silvers that Liu Chang took out.

These gold ingots were made free of charge by Liu Chang using the power of his laptop. In the face of incomprehensible reality, whether in the county or Panshi Town, there are people who are willing to take out their treasures for a nihilistic future.

After Liu Chang entered Panshi Village, he summoned the gentry to play a doomsday scene, and he raised two thousand taels of silver. Someone specially sent the gold ingots he had collected from the county town for several generations. Liu Chang must be invited to accept it.

Now Liu Chang has about 120 taels of gold. He has made people dissolve the gold ingots that are recast into 10 taels. This time he hid them and brought ten people over: "I still have some 48 taels of gold ingots in my house. It seems that Count Demons has no chance with them."

One hundred taels of gold are not as valuable as three thousand silver oceans, but the problem is that gold sometimes has a special charm, and Demons is completely intoxicated by the golden luster: "Do you do have an arms order of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars? Can you give it to me? You can't find a better price here."

"You have given up this order." Liu Chang told him: "You can neither provide the price that satisfies me, nor even provide enough arms to my troops. My troops currently have two infantry battalions and several auxiliary companies. They are eager to need advanced weapons to arm them. In addition, I am also preparing to form a new infantry battalion and more auxiliary companies..."

Three infantry battalions, plus the weapons of the auxiliary company, are indeed a big business. Even if there are not the hundreds of thousands of silver dollars mentioned by Liu Chang, it is not a small number, not to mention that Demons is already dazzled by the golden light.

He thinks he can't miss this opportunity. If he can really seize this order, he can make tens of thousands of pounds of profit.

This is an era when female tutors can only earn four pounds a month. Most working-class British people can only earn thirty pounds a year. If a person earns 100 pounds a year, he can live a happy single life. When Demons had the most personal wealth, it was only a few thousand pounds.

Even if the business failed, Demons felt that he would not lose anything. He came up with all his ways to win the order: "General Liu, I am willing to take this order. If you need the Minni rifle, I have a brand new Minni rifle in my warehouse and have not fired a single bullet. In addition, I can also provide a full set of equipment for a standard infantry brigade."

But Liu Chang was not interested in this: "Count Demons, let's stop our deal, I need to change an arms agent."

As a successful banker, Earl Demons was unwilling to let such a big business slip away like this, especially the ten-two-type gold ingots that Liu Chang took out, although they were privately cast, but also made him feel indulgent.

According to His Excellency Liu Chang, this is just the deposit for this transaction!

This is 500 pounds! A female teacher who wants to earn such a salary has to work for ten years. With such a sum of money, any country in Europe can spend a whole year in the most luxurious way, but here is just a deposit.

Earl of Demons couldn't wait to say, "General Liu, please rest assured that I can provide you with enough weapons and equipment, and I can also provide you with the most reasonable price, Your Excellency General..."

He increased his bet without hesitation: "I can reduce the price. Brownbess flintlock smoothbore gun only costs twenty-five silver dollars. As for the Cronsway firing gun, it only costs thirty silver dollars, and you can't find a more reasonable price!"

He has made up his mind to grab this order even if the price is reduced in an all-round way.

That's right, it's a price cut!
