Chapter 34

Manager Xiao thought for a while and said: "Germany's Luoguo Luzi, Snake Luzi, and Austro-Hungarian Steyr M1907 pistol, Steyr M1912 pistol, which one do you want?"

Wang Wenwu said: "There are ten German Luo Guo Luo Zi and Snake Brand Luo Zi. Are the bullets the same kind of bullets?"

"They can all use Parabellum bullets. Do you want to buy more bullets?"

"Then the Parabellum you mentioned should have three thousand rounds,"

"Okay, do you want a machine gun?"

"Are machine guns worth a pound of silver?"

"Yes, it's one silver dollar per catty, which one do you want?"

"I don't understand this, please tell me."

"Okay, there are two types of machine guns. One type has a gun mount, and the other type can be carried by one person and run away. You can have some of both."

"I still want one that can be carried and run by myself. It's hard to sell the one with a gun mount."

"One person can hold it and run. There are Madsen light machine guns, Hotchkiss light machine guns and Bergman light machine guns."

"I've never heard of this. Manager Xiao, do you have any recommendations?"

"You are asking the wrong person. I don't know which one is better."

"In that case, it's the first Madsen light machine gun. Since it's a machine gun, why don't you give me more bullets?"

"How much do you want to buy? How about I give it to you?"

"Okay, then you should first see how much this leather is worth."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

Wang Wenwu sent the leather into the courtyard of the foreign bank, and Manager Xiao quickly called the clerk from the foreign bank to count the leather. This big battle led to a foreigner.

The foreigner walked up to Manager Xiao and said, "Xiao, these skins are all out of place? How much is the value here?" [Xiao, have these skins been counted? How much are they worth here?]

Manager Xiao saw the foreigner and immediately replied: "Mr. Nord, is still in a list here, but it is estimated that there will be no less than 10,000 silver dollars."

It will be less than 10,000 silver dollars.]

"Xiao, is beautiful, is the skin of this gentleman?" [Xiao, good job, is the skin of this gentleman?]

Manager Xiao said: "Yes, Mr. Wang also has a military fire in the Vladivostock we purchased."

"Oh, we have a military fire on the ship of the Malacca Strait. Do you ask if he wants? If you want the ship, you don't go to Vladivostok."

There are arms. Ask him if he wants them. If he wants them, the ship won’t go to Vladivostok.】

Manager Xiao said: "OK." [Okay.]

Manager Xiao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, this is Mr. Ned, the director of our Hadley & Co."

Wang Wenwu said to the foreigner Mr. Ned: "Hello, Mr. Ned,"

Ned bent down to signal!

Manager Xiao continued: "Our director Ned has a proposal like this."

"Please tell me!"

"That's right, our foreign company just has a ship carrying arms that is coming soon. It was originally going to be shipped to Vladivostok. I hope you can buy it all."

"Oh, I wonder what's in it."

Manager Xiao said to Ned: "He wants to know which arms have been transported in the ship." [He wants to know what arms have been transported in the ship.]

Ned said: "There are five thousand Messe GeWehR98 rifles, and 100,000 bullets."

Manager Xiao translated: "There are 5,000 German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition on board. What do you think?"

Wang Wenwu said: "How can I eat five thousand spears?"

Manager Xiao said to Ned: "He doesn't have so much money, can't buy it." [He doesn't have so much money, can't buy it.]

Ned nodded and turned around to leave. Wang Wenwu looked at Manager Xiao, "What does he mean?"

Manager Xiao said: "What he originally thought was that if you bought the ship, the ship would not go to Vladivostok and save some money."

"It's not like no one is paying, you directors are so stingy,"

"Then do you know how much it costs to go to Vladivostok? Besides, there is nothing good to transport back. If you buy it, the foreign company can save at least a thousand silver dollars."

"One thousand silver dollars, that's a lot, but I don't have that much money. By the way, I've decided when the gun will arrive!"

"I'll look back and see that the boat will return and bring it back to you! How many guns and machine guns do you want?"

"Why are you in a hurry? I haven't finished ordering this cake yet. I'll tell you when it's finished."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, it's almost done."

Finally, after the waiters finished counting, Manager Xiao made the final calculation and said to Wang Wenwu: "We at Hadley & Co. have collected all your money, and I will collect a total of 18,000 silver dollars for you."

"If you pay this price, I'd better go to Hengxingxiang..." After Wang Wenwu said that he asked the boss to load the car, Manager Xiao hurriedly stopped him and said to the boss who was collecting the things: "Wait, wait, you guys

Wait, we are talking, let’s talk, don’t move!”

"Master Wu, don't be impulsive. The price is negotiable!"

"I know these leathers well. The price you offered is three hundred oceans less than Hengxingxiang! Three hundred oceans is not a small amount!"

"How about we each take a step back. Eighteen thousand one hundred and fifty silver dollars."

Wang Wenwu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "It can be 18,150 silver dollars. You give me 15,000 silver dollars first, and the rest will be used as deposit. When the goods arrive, I will settle the rest."

"Okay, we have an agreement. Mr. Wu, please, we will determine the type of goods."

"Mr. Xiao please!"

Manager Xiao invited Wang Wenwu into the reception room. Manager Xiao said: "Wait a moment, I will prepare money for you."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After the waiter served tea, Manager Xiao left the room, while Wang Wenwu was reading the newspaper and drinking tea in the reception room.

Not long after, Manager Xiao came in and handed over a check with both hands.

Manager Xiao said: "Master Wu, this is a check from HSBC. Please keep it first and confirm the document."

Wang Wenwu confirmed that the document was the same as what we just discussed, and he signed it with his name.

Manager Xiao put away the paperwork and said, "Master Wu, our leather matter is finally over. Let's talk about guns. How many do you want to buy?"

"Since you are buying by the pound, then you can buy a 13,000-pound Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle or an Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1895 rifle, and a 2,000-pound Madsen light machine gun, Luo Guo Luzi, and Snake Brand Luzi.

Here are ten, and Parabellum will fire three thousand rounds. Have you remembered it?"

"Remember it, you can take a look, right?"

Wang Wenwu confirmed the quantity and the price was correct. "Both are correct. Manager Xiao has a question!"

"You say!"

"Did you know that the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle or the Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1895 rifle use the same bullet?"

"I really don't know this. What are you doing?"

"If I buy a gun without bullets, won't the gun turn into a fire stick? I plan to buy some bullets, but I don't know if these two guns use the same bullets."

"Wait a minute, let me ask!"

Manager Xiao turned around and went out, and came back after a while, "The Mauser Gewehr98 rifle must be loaded with Mauser rifles. The Mannlicher M1895 rifle is also loaded with Mauser rifles, but I don't know if it is used in Vladivostok."

It’s that kind of thing,”
