Wang Wenwu called a few bosses near his home, loaded his things, and followed Lao Qian to the military camp. After Lao Qian came forward to negotiate, Wang Wenwu and his party entered the military camp, and an officer came to inspect the gun. Lao Qian and Wang Wenwu

He said: I want Wang Wenwu to go find him when he is finished. He is now going to find the master.

Wang Wenwu opened the box and handed over a rifle. The officer skillfully checked the gun. When the officer finished checking the gun, Wang Wenwu quickly handed over the cigarette.

Wang Wenwu said: "Master, you smoke!" After seeing the officer take the cigarette, Wang Wenwu spread the smoke around.

The officer said: "These are all old guns!"

Wang Wenwu handed over a brand new pack of cigarettes and said, "It's Mr. Xu who asked the villain to deliver it."

The officer accepted the cigarette and said, "Your Majesty didn't ask you to give me your old gun, did you?"

Wang Wenwu stuffed the pocket watch he had just got back into the officer's pocket.

The officer put his hand into his pocket and touched it, "Well, come in with me and get the note."

In the end, Wang Wenwu took the note and only received a check for 17,000 silver dollars. Wang Wenwu looked at the money he received and couldn't believe it was so much less. There was no way, Wang Wenwu found the old money and went to see Mr. Xu

In a luxurious room, Wang Wenwu met Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu waved his hand and asked Wang Wenwu to come over and sit down. "Come, sit here." After speaking, he pointed to the stool in front of him.

Wang Wenwu turned around to speak and sat down in front of Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu said: "I heard from Lao Qian that you can still get arms. Is that right?"

Wang Wenwu returned: "Mr. Xu, this is the case. A while ago, I heard at a foreign company that they had a ship of arms to be transported to Vladivostok. They had already passed Malacca. One of their directors was named Ned.

You can make the decision and sell all the arms, but the arms in this boat are all old. He said they are full of German and Austro-Hungarian rifles. I guess there are a lot of rusty ones inside."

Master Xu thought for a moment and said, "What about the price?"

"They want 30 silver dollars per gun and 60 rounds of ammunition."

"How long will it take for their things to arrive?"

"I don't know about that."

"Well, take Lao Qian with you. You listen to Lao Qian."

"knew."

Wang Wenwu and Lao Qian left the military camp. Wang Wenwu said to Lao Qian: "Old Qian, you see it's getting late now. It will take us a long time to get into the city now. Why don't we go tomorrow!"

Lao Qian looked at the sky and said, "That's okay!"

After Wang Wenwu said goodbye to Lao Qian, he immediately rushed to Hadley & Co. before getting off work.

I walked in and found Manager Xiao. Manager Xiao introduced Wang Wenwu into the office, made Wang Wenwu a cup of tea and asked:

"Master Wu, what's wrong with you? What's the matter?"

Wang Wenwu took a sip of the tea in the cup and said, "Manager Xiao, there is something like this. I want to ask you for advice first."

Manager Xiao returned: "Please tell me,"

Wang Wenwu said: "When I came here last time, your director, Mr. Ned, didn't say that you had a ship transporting arms and was about to arrive in China?"

"Yes, do you want the arms on this ship?" Manager Xiao said happily.

Wang Wenwu waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not me, it's not me. I'll introduce it to you as a customer. He can buy them all, but that's it!" Wang Wenwu tossed Yuan Datou in his hand.

Manager Xiao knew it immediately, "Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. I will give you 10% of the selling price."

Wang Wenwu said: "This is a big guest. He asked for a lot this time, and he will ask for less in the future."

Manager Xiao whispered: "Master Wu, which family are you following now?"

Wang Wenwu lowered his head and drank tea, "Why are you planning to kick me out if I find out clearly?"

Manager Xiao said quickly: "How can you do that? Don't ask. I won't ask. Do you think it's okay?"

Wang Wenwu raised his head and said to Manager Xiao: "I don't want more, it's 20% of the selling price."

Manager Xiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, when will you bring someone here."

Wang Wenwu said: "Tomorrow, I'm talking about thirty-five silver dollars for each rifle and sixty rounds of ammunition."

Manager Xiao glanced at Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, your price is really high."

"You sell thousands of guns at a time, but I sell them in batches. Of course, the prices are different."

Manager Xiao waved his hand and said: "Okay, whatever you say. I understand, you can bring someone here tomorrow, I know what to say."

When Wang Wenwu saw that Manager Xiao already knew about it, he stood up and left.

Manager Xiao sent Wang Wenwu to the door, and both parties said goodbye and turned to leave.

The next day, Wang Wenwu got up early and went to the place agreed with Lao Qian to have breakfast. When Wang Wenwu had almost finished eating, Lao Qian arrived belatedly.

Wang Wenwu saw Lao Qian arriving and said to him: "Old Qian, have you had breakfast?"

Lao Qian pulled out the stool and sat down, "I've eaten at home. Eat slowly, I won't be waiting for you."

Wang Wenwu pointed at the food in front of him and said: "You really don't want to order more, this tastes good. Why don't you try it? I especially recommend their fried liver, it's really good."

Lao Qian, watching Wang Wenwu eating fried liver with big mouthfuls, said to the waiter: "Hey, hey~, buddy, here's some fried liver."

The waiter shouted: "One portion of fried liver!"

Not long after, the waiter brought a piece of fried liver, and the old man praised it repeatedly after eating it.

After the two of them finished eating, they followed Wang Wenwu to Hadley Foreign Trade.

Manager Xiao had been standing guard at the door. When he saw Wang Wenwu bringing someone over, he quickly went to greet him.

Manager Xiao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, we haven't seen each other for a while. What kind of wind brought you here today."

Wang Wenwu said: "Hey, Manager Xiao, you are blaming me, but your things are too expensive. I don't dare to come here often."

Manager Xiao said: "Well, I have all good and cheap things, but I don't know who this one is."

Wang Wenwu introduced Lao Qian to Manager Xiao: "This is Mr. Qian. He is a big customer. You have to treat him well."

Manager Xiao quickly said to Lao Qian: "Mr. Qian, you will definitely get the best products at the lowest price at Hadley & Co."

Lao Qian said to Manager Xiao: "I came here just because I believed in you, Hadley & Company."

Manager Xiao repeatedly said yes and introduced Wang Wenwu and Lao Qian into his office. Staff from the foreign bank brought tea and coffee. After Manager Xiao and others sat down, he said to Wang Wenwu:

"Master Wu, what do you want to buy this time?"

Wang Wenwu took a sip of tea and said: "Last time, many of your directors, Mr. Ned, said that you have a ship coming to China soon, the one that transports arms."

Manager Xiao said happily: "Why, Mr. Wu, does Mr. Qian next to you want it?"

Wang Wenwu said: "Manager Xiao, please introduce what is on that ship first."
