Chapter 91 The deal with Colt

At this time, Yan Zhengqing also came back. Hearing Colt say that he wanted to make a lot of money, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Phil, why do you want to make a lot of money?! Can you talk to me, an old man?! I

Very curious!”

When Tu Qianjun saw that Yan Zhengqing was back, he quickly stood up, bowed respectfully to Yan Zhengqing and said softly: "Teacher, you are back."

Yan Zhengqing smiled and nodded at Tu Qianjun. To be honest, Yan Zhengqing was quite satisfied with his student. Although this student had a lot of things to hide from him, he was definitely diligent and studious. And he was also good enough for himself.

of respect.

After Yan Zhengqing motioned Tu Qianjun to sit down, he smiled and said to Colt: "What kind of thing makes you so excited?! Are you interested in another arms market?!"

Seeing Yan Zhengqing's return, Colt quickly sat down next to Yan Zhengqing and said energetically: "Oh! Mr. Yan, you don't know what kind of tool your students have made! This tool may change the military's

Way to fight!”

Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but raise his brows after hearing Colt's words, and said oh. Then Colt handed Tu Qianjun's drawings over, and fully explained Tu Qianjun's description of the engineer shovel. Yan Zhengqing

However, having traveled around Europe and the United States, he has countless Pythagorean figures in his mind, and his broad vision is rare even in later generations! Listening to Colt's narration of Tu Qianjun's words, he couldn't help but nod gently. His eyes were not full of appreciation as he glanced at Tu Qianjun.

!

"Not bad! Junzi, you can think of these and design this engineer shovel. It's really good!" Yan Zhengqing looked at Tu Qianjun and said with a smile: "But in terms of channels and sales, my personal advice is still left to the Colt family.

It's better. After all, their family still has a lot of influence in the United States and the military. It's much better than doing sales by yourself."

Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this. In fact, he thought so at the beginning. However, if he proposed it, Colt would have the initiative in the negotiation, but if Colt proposed it, he would be able to take over the negotiation.

initiative.

So, when Tu Qianjun heard what Yan Zhengqing said, he smiled and said to Colt: "Okay, my uncle Colt. Then you will be responsible for selling this engineer shovel, but the top priority now is to help me register it first.

I have a patent. This patent must be in my hands."

Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but smile and nodded when he heard this. This is the key! Only by holding the patent to massacre Qianjun can you have the advantage, and this Colt is in Beijing, so he is not afraid of him playing tricks! If he plays tricks, then he can kill Qianjun single-handedly.

Nothing can be done to him?! Besides, he has a good relationship with Tu Sanpao, and now he wants to win over An Guojun, which is even more impossible to play tricks.

At that moment, Colt rushed to the telegraph office with Tu Qianjun, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the United States. At this time, it was just dark, and by the time Tu Qianjun finished describing and the telegram was taken, it was already completely dark. They

When they returned to the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Zuolin had already returned and was waiting for them to have dinner together. Seeing Tu Qianjun coming back, he smiled and said: "You are so capable, Junzi! Mr. Yan said that you had an affair with Mr. Colt this time.

Big business can make a lot of money!"

It turned out that Zhang Zuolin returned to the Marshal's Mansion not long after Tu Qianjun left, and Tu Sanpao, Tu Qianjun's father, came back with him. As soon as they came back, they were caught by an excited Qi Yun talking about engineers and shovels.

, after talking about the matter and laying out the design drawing, Zhang Zuolin was immediately interested. When Qi Yun stated the concept of Tu Qianjun, Zhang Zuolin's face became solemn, and then Yan Zhengqing related the issue of patents and military affairs.

Zhang Zuolin laughed when he mentioned that Zi planned to cooperate with Colt! At this time, Tu Qianjun happened to come back, so Zhang Zuolin teased him.

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile when he heard what Zhang Zuolin said, and said: "Where can I make money? I haven't even figured out my horoscope yet! I don't know what the situation will be like, but I'm thinking of asking Uncle Qi to work in our arsenal in the three eastern provinces first."

Produce a batch of these engineer shovels and equip them with my fourth battalion and see how effective they are. If they are good, we can promote them throughout the army."

Zhang Zuolin nodded after hearing this. After all, the benefits of this engineer shovel are only on paper. It must be used to know whether it can achieve such a good effect. So Zhang Zuolin and Qi Yun ordered to produce a thousand of them first.

After I came here to try out this shovel, I left it behind and went to eat with everyone.

During the dinner, Zhang Zuolin naturally mentioned that Qi Mudeng was now working as a battalion deputy under Tu Qianjun. Qi Yun was surprised when he heard this! Isn't his son a battalion commander?! Why was he demoted to a battalion deputy?! So he started talking

After questioning, he found out that Qi Mudeng was demoted to company commander due to drinking and accident. At that moment, Qi Yun was so angry that he went to the fourth battalion to pull Qi Mudeng out and beat him to relieve his anger. However, Tu Qianjun managed to persuade him.

.

After finishing the meal, Qi Yun couldn't stay long. After all, there was still a big pile of things waiting for him to deal with in Fengtian's arsenal, and the issue of arms import brought by Colt this time was also solved.

Through communication between the two parties, Colt sold a thousand m192s at a price of US$180 each.

In addition to the Type 1 Thompson submachine gun, thirty Browning m1917 heavy machine guns were sold at a price of US$800 each. However, at Qi Yun's request, the caliber of the Thompson submachine gun was changed from 11.43 mm to 7.63 mm to make it consistent with

Mauser pistols share ammunition, thus avoiding the problem of ammunition replenishment.

Secondly, the Browning M1917 heavy machine gun changed its caliber from 7.62 mm to 7.9 mm at Qi Yun's request. It can be used with the Japanese Taisho 3-year heavy machine gun imitated by the three northeastern provinces, that is, the Liao 13-year heavy machine gun.

.Also solved the problem of gun and ammunition supply.

Seeing the result of Qi Yun's negotiation, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but admire this old gentleman! You know, at this time in the United States, the price of an m1921 Thompson submachine gun was US$225! Qi Yun was good, he could bite him in one bite.

Lost $45!

The Browning M1917 heavy machine gun also costs close to 900 US dollars. Qi Yun cut off nearly 100 US dollars with one cut! This knife is very sharp! Moreover, he also requested Colt based on the conditions of the arsenals in the three eastern provinces.

Improvements were made to avoid the embarrassment of ammunition supply and maintain the original quality of these two firearms.

You know, after all, these two guns are produced by Colt. It is impossible for them to provide you with the design drawings. Therefore, if you modify it yourself, it is likely to cause problems such as shortened service life or accuracy errors. But

It would be different if Colt Company performed the modifications themselves. After all, they had the design drawings and the equipment was much better than that of the Dongsan Province Arsenal! Asking them to perform the modifications would naturally be much better than the Dongsan Province Arsenal's own modifications.

Before leaving, Qi Yun even told Zhang Zuolin with a wry smile that Northeastern Navy Commander Shen Honglie gritted his teeth and asked Qi Yun to help Zhang Zuolin make peace and buy one or two warships from Colt. Zhang Zuolin couldn't help laughing when he heard the embarrassing news.

What Shen Honglie always liked most was to ask Zhang Zuolin to buy warships for his navy.

This time this guy also got the news, so he forced Qi Yun to tell him. Zhang Zuolin pondered for a while after listening to Qi Yun's words, and then asked Colt whether he could buy a warship.

Colt was not sure that he could buy a warship, so he could only tell Zhang Zuolin that he would give it a try. After all, the Colt family only had a good relationship with the Army and did not have much dealings with the Navy. Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to give up after hearing this. That night
Chapter completed!
