Chapter eight hundred and ninety-eight buying arms
During the Republic of China, Shanghai was really a mixed place, with three religions and nine streams, and there were many foreign leases. Du Yuesheng had always been a generous person, but when he heard that Han Baihang wanted to buy arms from him, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Although Shanghai is our own territory, the purchase of arms involves too many things and we cannot be careless. If something happens, it may turn this ten-mile foreign market upside down. But then again, this
What's the most profitable thing these days? Two! One is guns, the other is cigarettes! No matter who, as long as they figure out these two ways, it will be a matter of minutes to make a fortune! Du Yuesheng has a difficult choice in his heart, so he can't help but play with it.
Tea cup in hand.
Han Baihang could see clearly. In fact, he had already thought about the stakes before coming here. If you want to buy arms in China, which is the best place? Big Shanghai! Who is the best place to buy in Shanghai? Du Yuesheng!
Firstly, he is so powerful that he is the master. Which of the major warlords is not worried about becoming bigger and will never sell to him. Secondly, he has no way to buy arms from foreign countries, but Du Yuesheng does! Thirdly, gangsters help him buy arms, which is rare.
Attracting others' attention will not lead to anger. After all, it is reasonable for gangs to buy arms.
But these are not the important points. Only Han Baihang himself knows clearly in his heart that the second Zhili-Fengtian War is about to break out. The few troops he has are simply not enough for Zhang Zuolin to fill his teeth. Since the military strength is not enough, he can make up for it with weapons and equipment.
With one piece of equipment, maybe one more person can survive! Maybe it can change the impossible outcome of this war!
Han Baihang was able to grow from a second-class soldier to the commander of a division, so he had a long-term vision, but Du Yuesheng was not among the best. He had been wandering around the world since he was a child, and he dominated Shanghai with iron and blood methods. Even the four major families had to bow before him.
As a person, I have probably guessed Han Baihang’s wishful thinking.
The heroes of the two eras smiled at each other, each with their own hidden agenda.
Finally, with a hearty laugh, Du Yuesheng spoke first, but his request was for an additional 20% of the price.
For Han Baihang, compared with weapons and equipment, money is not that important. These days, if you have money, you may not be able to get weapons, but if you have weapons, you can definitely get money. Han Baihang did not counter-offer and directly agreed.
Already.
Du Yuesheng was a little surprised by Han Baihang's straightforwardness. When two people do business, it is normal for them to ask for a high price and pay back the money when they get there. The price of arms is extremely high, and being able to get 10% of the profit is already a lot of money.
It was already a day off, so he waited for Han Baihang to counter-offer, but he didn't expect that he actually agreed. Du Yuesheng gradually developed a good impression of this bold young man, and his temper!
The two of them decided on the general idea, and naturally left the rest of the trivial details to the people below.
Han Baihang took out a cashier's check from Citibank of the United States and put it on the table. It was 1.2 million oceans, which was converted into US dollars, which was 60% of the total cost. A deposit was paid first, and the rest of the payment was settled upon arrival.
Du Yuesheng had to sincerely admire that Han Baihang was really courageous. No matter how big the deal was, the deposit was usually only 30 to 40%, never more than half. But this young man paid 60% as soon as he made the move, which was giving him enough face.
Han Baihang also wanted to make friends with this famous Youth Gang boss. If he met Du Yuesheng in Shanghai, everything would be much easier.
The two of them didn't waste any time, collected the money, and signed the contract. Han Baihang was busy with things in the army and didn't stop there. Du Yuesheng sent him out, said a few words of praise, and then left.
Gao Hongyi couldn't figure it out this time. Han Baihang brought him out originally to settle accounts with the assassin's master, Du Yuesheng. He should at least explain it clearly. However, the division commander not only brushed this matter off, but even assured him
After receiving such a deposit from Du Yuesheng, weren't you afraid that he would take the money and not do anything? He wanted to ask the teacher what the mystery was, but he was afraid of appearing too stupid, so he hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak.
Han Baihang seemed to have noticed his doubts, either explaining it to him specifically, or mentioning it casually during chat.
"What do soldiers live for? Fighting and making contributions! What do farmers live for? Planting the land and harvesting more food! What do gangsters like Du Yuesheng and the leader of the Youth Gang live for? Fame! As the saying goes, a person lives for one breath and a tree lives for one bark.
Du Yuesheng lives for this reputation, especially for those who are involved in the underworld. If their reputation is ruined, they will betray their relatives and alienate them, and they will no longer be able to establish prestige among others. Every industry has its own rules, and these are the rules of the gang."
Gao Hongyi nodded. Although he had been fighting for so long, he had not thought deeply about these issues. He couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He was a soldier, so what did soldiers live for? One was to obey orders, and the other was to love the country.
When it comes to obeying orders, Gao Hongyi has nothing to say. He has never hesitated about Han Baihang's orders. When it comes to loving the country, the country is in chaos and fragmented. He also wants to be patriotic, but who loves him?
Seeing Gao Hongyi lost in thought, Han Baihang did not disturb him. He had already pointed out a way for him. How to go. That was his own business and no one could help him.
He hopes that one day, no matter which faction or province, all Chinese soldiers can be like Gao Hongyi and think carefully about the responsibilities of soldiers and what our country should be like. By then
, the great powers are probably not far away from leaving China!
But when will that day come?
The two returned to the headquarters. The guards at the sentry posts inside and outside the headquarters stood tall and straight, with strict defenses. Han Baihang was very happy to see them.
The army in the city was taken out for training by Huzi and Shitou, and they must be back soon.
At this moment, a cavalryman came hurriedly on horseback.
It was his own cavalry who came.
According to the news reported by the cavalry, it turned out that Shitou and Huzi met some policemen on the way back from the handsome soldiers, who were arresting students and beating them with sticks. Huzi couldn't stand it anymore, so he went up and slapped the captain a few times.
The police called the police station team.
Han Baihang was a little confused, and there was no need to report. Let alone a police station team, even an army, don't be vague, just beat him.
It turned out that the cavalry came back to report back. It was not that the tiger did not dare to fight, but that the place where the tiger hit people was in the Japanese Concession. Nothing happened at first, but when the two sides confronted each other, the Japanese became more energetic and said that they were going to surrender them.
Hu Zi couldn't bear it anymore, but he didn't have many people with him, and he couldn't do it, so he came back to report.
