Chapter 126 Who is not to sell
The Charles family had not yet determined the number of weapons to order, and Xiao Lin had already started a business. The French spent a lot of money under his words. They bought five thousand in cold weapons and steel knives and compound bows. Xiao Lin said, and the French jumped into the pit automatically. To sum up all the words, it was the same. The French also had many Indian tribes that they defected to, both as subordinates and as cannon fodder.
However, no matter what, if you work hard, you have to prepare weapons for others. However, if you give firearms and cannons, you are not at ease, and you are afraid of raising a tiger, so it is best to cause a situation where the tail is too big. With the company's steel knives and composite bows, it is different from composite bows, especially composite bows, which are more accurate than brown bass firearms within 12 meters. The Indians equipped with these steel knives and composite bows can not only provide strong support to the French in the subsequent wars, but also will not allow them to master firearm technology, thus threatening their rule.
In this era, European countries have long banned the existence of crossbowmen. Compared to crossbowmen who have trained for a few years, muskets can be trained in only three months. In addition to the range of the fire is not as good as some top-level crossbows, their power is not bad. Therefore, they don’t care about crossbows at all. Even if the effective range of such a composite bow is 120 meters, they don’t take it seriously at all. Maybe these French people still despise Xiao Lin as an Indian behind their backs, and they know how to study these flashy things.
It is this mentality that made Xiao Lin sell nearly 100,000 sets of compound bows. These compound bows, which are not much inferior to the current front-mounted muskets, greatly strengthened the strength of all Indians who did not join the Yanhuang Trading Company, and caused great losses to the white people in the future. Of course, these are all later stories, so I won’t mention them for now.
After doing this French business, the company can make a net profit of about 8 million Chinese RMB. After all, transactions with the French are all about iron ore, etc., which are not valuable in the 21st century, and the company does not have minerals now. No matter how much money it is, this is also the profit the company officially obtains through manufacturing power in the 18th century. Slowly, with the development of the company, Xiao Lin can also stop speculating and reselling in the two planes.
Xiao Lin was still thinking about how to continue to expand his business, but he didn't expect that new customers would appear. The God of War, who has become the leader of the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance, sent his messenger four months ago. In this era, there was no navigation, and there was not even a mature map. There were not many people in the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance who had gone far away. The God of Warrior was not a very directional person, but only pointed to a rough direction.
It was good to spend four months, but it was not uncommon for this messenger to die in the wild. The God of War had never really been to the company, but had only been to the Trader Tribe to receive ammunition, so the direction he pointed was naturally the Trader Tribe. The leader of the Trader Tribe Quild actually always admired the God of War. He originally thought that the God of War died in that battle, and even Quild held a memorial service for him. Suddenly, someone came and said that it was a subordinate sent by the God of War. Quild almost thought that he was playing tricks on him, so he was about to order the warrior to beat him up.
Fortunately, the messenger had the token of the God of War in his hand, so Quilder would better believe this messenger holding the parts of the God of War clan he had seen. Originally, the messenger sent by the God of War was to convey the message of merger to Xiao Lin. If Xiao Lin was unwilling, he would settle for the second best and want to purchase weapons from the company. After all, the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance now has 50,000 people, too large, not weak, and they are all unruly. Perhaps Xiao Lin would refuse to merge to prevent the company from being unstable.
However, it is precisely because of the strong strength of the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance that the messenger had some objections to the idea of the God of War. He was not dissatisfied with it, but felt that the Wolf Warrior Tribe could survive independently and did not need to incorporate any force. Of course, if the Yanhuang Trading Company could provide advanced weapons, he would naturally not stop this matter. He came to explore the way and negotiate trade first, and there would naturally be someone to pay later.
Quilder happened to have not had much to do recently, so he brought this middle-aged Indian wise man named Aka to the Yanhuang Trading Company. Although Aka is a wise man in the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance, when he arrived at the company, it would be like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. The God of War had never entered the company, so he naturally didn't know what the company really looked like. When communicating with Aka, he naturally said something he guessed, that is, adding a little mythical element to the white town.
However, the company that has developed to this day is much better than what the God of War wants. It seems to be like an industrial city in the mid-19th century that experienced the Second Industrial Revolution. Moreover, because many of the equipment are processed in the 21st or mid-to-late 20th century, the pollution is much lighter than the equipment after the Second Industrial Revolution, and the environment around the company has not deteriorated much. At the same time, it also shows a sufficient atmosphere of modernization.
From time to time, a man who had finished his work from the farmland rode his bicycle back to the town. The first time he saw a car that didn't need a horse and could walk by himself with two wheels, Aka was also very surprised. All the things in the company were not familiar with Aka, and they also subverted his awareness. When Quelde arrived, Xiao Lin naturally had to receive him. However, Xiao Lin didn't want to waste time on him anymore as a messenger.
What Aka wants is the muskets and artillery that Xiao Lin sold to the God of War and the British and the other ones. Of course, there are also the company's own fuse grenades. These things are not difficult to manufacture. The arsenal built in the Republic of Belan has a surplus of production capacity. Just move a little out and you can make these things well. You don't need any good steel, and waste from the 21st century is fine. Although Aka uses fur and yellow-grade ore to pay the bill, Xiao Lin no longer looks down on this little money.
Xiao Lin was not interested in wasting time on him, which did not mean that the money would not be profitable. So, it was just a piece of meat. So Xiao Lin handed over this matter to Ye Qianqian, who had been in the company for several months but had not made much contribution. Ye Qianqian is also a stubborn woman. Now Xiao Lin paid her a salary of 30,000 yuan for a month, which was originally intended to reward her contribution to the company's financial coordination, but Ye Qianqian felt that it was a bit worthy of receiving this three times the previous salary.
Therefore, Ye Qianqian has been asking Xiao Lin to find something for her. Now, with the help of this strong woman with extremely skilled bargaining skills, she can squeeze out Aka's oil and water. Of course, Xiao Lin has something to do. It's not that he is romance with Yu Wei and the others, but that he is going to start to win over his dozens of life and death brothers. Xiao Lin's suggestion made these people think about it for a while, and now, he finally agreed.
After all, after leaving the army, they really couldn't find any good jobs. They either did physical labor or were drivers and bodyguards. Not only were they tired and were not very rich, but they were not a family, and the family relied on them to make a living. Although it was a bit embarrassing, they were all living in a life-long relationship. When brothers were in trouble, they were helping each other was not something they could not say. More than a dozen elite soldiers came to surrender at once, and Xiao Lin was overjoyed.
Just so happened that the steel plant jointly invested with Zalkam had transported the equipment in place, and the workers had mastered the basic operating methods. The process was in place, and the factory was about to start production. To this end, Zalkam even started an iron ore he had hidden, recruited many workers, bought mining equipment from China, and mined a batch of iron ore. As the major shareholder of the steel plant, Xiao Lin must also go over and take a look.
Of course, Zalkam was still a little guilty. After all, he was just a leader with some talent in politics and military. Just like the founding ancestor of China, he was a little short of economic development. Zalkam was not even as good as the ancestor, and he had no understanding of these things at all. If it weren't for Xiao Lin's help and Sorento, a capable successor, I'm afraid that there would be no industry in his occupied area now.
Relying on Xiao Lin, he has now completed the construction of six large light industry factories. At least he does not need to buy foreign products such as pots, pans, and clothes. The styles he produces are not bad, the quality is not bad, and the prices are affordable, and he is very popular with the Belan people under his rule. For this reason, the people's hearts have been settled a lot, and Zalkam has also received the sincere support of more people. Moreover, there is also a motorcycle factory that is being built, and all the technical equipment is introduced to Xiao Lin's factory, which costs a lot of money.
Now, another large steel plant has come. This means that self-produced weapons are possible. As soon as the news comes out, Zalkham's support rate has risen again. However, this has caused a wave of turmoil outside his sphere of influence. Zalkham's enemies will not sit idly by and watch the official start of the steel plant. Air Force bombing, with the first batch of pilots trained in China, returning with the third-generation combat technology foreign trade version of the JF-11, it has been implemented again.
So, they sent elite spies and special forces to Zalkham's territory and prepared to use explosives to destroy the steel plant. Although Zalkham took strict precautions, not only transferred most of the Wolf Commando, but also had ordinary soldiers from three battalions of guarding them. However, they were still a little overwhelmed. Last time Xiao Lin helped blow up the warlord's airport, Zalkham knew that he was a truly powerful special forces commander.
