Lao Qian nodded: "When will this batch of goods arrive?"

Manager Xiao replied with a smile: "I will arrive in Tianjin at the end of this month."

"Okay, what's the price?"

"You must have inquired with Mr. Wu. Each rifle will cost thirty-five silver dollars and sixty rounds of bullets. The remaining bullets will cost one hundred oceans for each thousand rifle bullets."

When Lao Qian heard this, he immediately decided: "We want them all."

Manager Xiao also laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I'll prepare the contract right now."

When Wang Wenwu saw Manager Xiao leaving to prepare the contract, he said to Lao Qian: "Old Qian, who are you going to fight again?"

Lao Qian glanced at Wang Wenwu and said, "You can't beat BJ, don't worry!"

"Can I not worry? I have food stored at home. Even if BJ City is besieged for a month or two, it will be fine."

"Hey, you've prepared enough!"

"I'm not like your place. There are big soldiers guarding the intersection. If there is chaos in the city, there won't be any chaos. You can go there."

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. If I don't win this time, Boss Duan will have to go to the wild. Then we, the chickens and dogs who followed our master to achieve enlightenment, will become mortals again."

Wang Wenwu looked at Lao Qian and said, "It depends on how shameless you are when you ascend to heaven. Lao Qian, let me ask you this: If Boss Duan steps down, will you be blackmailed?"

Lao Qian looked at Wang Wenwu with disgust, then pointed at himself, "I, I will be shot in the dark, how is that possible!"

Wang Wenwu said contemptuously: "You think that everyone you find is like me, Wang Wenwu. Maybe they are better than me, but they are definitely not as clean as me."

Lao Qian looked at Wang Wenwu and said meaningfully: "Yes, I admit that you are right, but before I met you, I did a lot of things. After meeting you, I was shot in the dark. You said

What's going on?"

Wang Wenwu smiled and said: "Who knows, you may have done something outrageous!"

Lao Qian said: "You have to speak with conscience," Lao Qian stretched out his hands and said, "Look, these are hands that are not bloody at all!"

Wang Wenwu saw that although Lao Qian's hands were a little old, there were no calluses at all, and the nails were clean.

Wang Wenwu said: "Don't tell me, your hands are really clean!"

Lao Qian said: "That's right, you kid, don't let my clean hands get dirty!"

"knew."

Manager Xiao pushed the door open and came in. After both parties confirmed the contract, they signed and deposited it.

After collecting the documents, Manager Xiao said, "You two, it's almost noon. How about I invite you two to the Xi'an Hotel?"

Lao Qian waved his hand and said: "I want to go, you go, I have to go back and report quickly. I will leave first."

Manager Xiao quickly said: "Mr. Qian, please be sure to come with us, just think of it as our celebration."

Lao Qian said to Manager Xiao: "No, no, I'm afraid that my master is impatient. You don't know how happy my master is to have so many arms! Manager Xiao, please stay and say goodbye!"

Seeing Lao Qian's insistence, Manager Xiao stopped saying anything. He was polite for a while, and he and Wang Wenwu sent Lao Qian to the door.

After seeing Lao Qian get into the rickshaw, Manager Xiao said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, why don't we go to Xi'an Hotel?"

Wang Wenwu said: "Let's go to Tai Feng Tower, it's much closer."

"Okay, just wait for me and I'll go in and explain."

"As you please!"

Manager Xiao turned around and went back to explain a few words. He came out after a while and took a rickshaw with Wang Wenwu to Tai Feng Building.

I walked in and asked the waiter for a box by the window, a few specialty dishes, and a bottle of wine. After the dishes were all served.

Wang Wenwu and Manager Xiao drank each other's drinks.

Manager Xiao took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Wang Wenwu, "Master Wu, this was agreed in advance. Brother, I will keep my word. You should keep it first."

Wang Wenwu saw that the prices on the check were correct and collected them.

After seeing Wang Wenwu put it away, Manager Xiao said: "Master Wu, if you still have customers like this, please introduce them to us. The benefits will never be lost to you."

Wang Wenwu said: "It's hard to find this kind of customer. In fact, it depends on whether you can transport the things here by the end of this month."

Upon seeing this, Manager Xiao whispered: "Master Wu, is there going to be a fight next month?"

"How do I know when a fight will start? But you see, what the guests care about most this time is the time when the arms are delivered. Doesn't this mean something?"

Manager Xiao suddenly realized: "Master Wu is still alert, I admire him," and then he had a drink with Wang Wenwu.

"Don't talk nonsense outside about this impossible thing!"

Manager Xiao showed an innocent expression and said, "Master Wu, do you think I am someone who talks nonsense?"

"No, I'm not afraid that if I'm accused of leaking military information, I won't be able to escape."

Manager Xiao said with great interest: "How could it be possible, Master Wu, do you know who is fighting whom?"

"I don't know when my batch of goods will arrive."

"Your goods are not due until next month and are already being shipped."

"I know, why didn't you go to those commanders and ask them if they still want arms?"

"Did you think we didn't ask?"

Wang Wenwu asked in surprise: "Have you asked, how is it?"

Manager Xiao said with a frustrated look: "As soon as we got in touch, someone from Dayang Bank came over and gave us a warning."

"Wow, Dayang Bank's response was too fast!"

"Who says otherwise? Do you know about the arms embargo?"

"Of course I know, otherwise I would still buy whatever guns you want from your foreign companies and do whatever I want."

"I once again heard the bosses say that this arms embargo is because the arms market has been occupied by RB people. That's why countries such as Britain, France, and the United States imposed arms embargoes."

"No, that doesn't make sense. You don't have much to begin with, and you won't have much if you impose an embargo!"

"Maybe it's because I don't want to estrange the relationship with the RB people. During the European war, they made a lot of money!"

Wang Wenwu suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, isn't it about an arms embargo? My goods won't be stopped at customs, right?"

Manager Xiao smiled and said: "How could it be possible? Germany and Austria-Hungary are not included in this arms embargo."

"Is it okay if I'm not in a country that has signed an embargo?"

"It's okay, don't worry, I guarantee you will get the goods. After all, our Hadley & Co. is a British-owned company," Manager Xiao said with a proud look. "You know, the customs in Qing Dynasty was British.

People are in charge. The director of the Taxation Department of Tianjin Customs is a classmate of Mr. Hadley, the owner of Hadley & Company. It turns out that my boss is also in the Taxation Department, but he is from the Shanghai Taxation Department. Let me tell you, this Tianjin Taxation Department

The director of the company is also a director of our foreign bank."

"Okay, you British-owned foreign companies are just like cattle. Come on, let's go."

The two drank down the wine in their hands.

Manager Xiao continued: "So Mr. Wu, next time you have something like this, feel free to introduce it, and we will make money like this again."

Wang Wenwu raised his glass and said: "Okay, definitely, I wish us a lot of money, let's do it!"
