Seeing the excited yet embarrassed expression on Yan Youjin's face, Li Hao knew that his goal had been achieved.
Straight to the point, selling drugs to Jinsuijun at cost price was a negotiation technique that Li Hao suddenly thought of.
Taking the initiative in the negotiation by making concessions made Yan Youjin feel embarrassed and felt that he owed himself.
In this way, he can take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations to sell the cannonballs. Yan Youjin will not be able to lower the price too hard, and he will be able to sell at a good price by then.
Make up for all the losses from previous food purchases.
As soon as Wang Hong left, Yan Youjin revealed the second purpose of his trip.
"Commander Li, during the Great War, the ammunition reserves of our heavy artillery regiment were almost exhausted."
"Although Datong was not captured, the performance of heavy artillery on the battlefield was still praised by all generals."
"In order to prevent these heavy artillery from becoming a display and to play their due role, the commander decided to purchase another batch of artillery shells."
"I thought of you at that time. These heavy artillery were purchased from your regiment. You must have a lot of artillery shells in reserve."
"So I volunteered to take over this mission and came to Commander Li to buy some artillery shells to take back."
Li Hao didn't speak immediately. He thought for a moment and asked, "How many hairs do you want?"
"One thousand, two hundred rounds!" Yan Youjin's eyes lit up and he answered quickly.
"I have it, but I can't sell it to you." Li Hao shook his head and refused.
Seeing the smile on Yan Youjin's face disappear instantly, followed by a disappointed expression, Li Hao continued.
"It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's just that we don't have many cannonballs in our hands."
"Director Yan, you should know that our garrison regiment also has a heavy artillery battalion. The Japanese and puppet troops are now blocking so hard that even if they have money, they can't buy matching artillery shells. If I sell the artillery shells to you, the garrison regiment's heavy artillery battalion will use up all the shells in the future.
What should I do?”
"I can buy it at a high price!" Yan Youjin was anxious.
What Li Hao said is true.
In order to completely occupy China, the Japanese not only wiped out a large number of anti-Japanese troops on the battlefield, but also blocked China economically and materially to prevent foreign aid from entering China, thereby forcing the Chinese people to surrender.
Now all the country's sea ports have been occupied by the Japanese, and the country does not have the ability to produce its own heavy artillery shells.
This means that the Jinsui Army's channels for obtaining heavy artillery shells through outsourcing are cut off, and they can only find ways to use domestically stored artillery shells.
The possibility of obtaining heavy artillery shells from the Ministry of Military Affairs was almost zero, so the Eighth Route Army became Yan Youjin's only hope.
If the road to the garrison regiment is also cut off, then the artillery pieces of the heavy artillery regiment may really become a pile of scrap metal.
Seeing that Li Hao still didn't speak, Yan Youjin didn't give up and continued.
"Captain Li, if you really can't, you can just sell us 600 rounds."
"The power of heavy artillery is too great. It is definitely a weapon for fighting Japanese invaders. We cannot let them become decorations because they have no shells."
Li Hao finally spoke and answered after a moment of silence: "What price can you give?"
Yan Youjin's tense nerves were relieved a lot. As long as Li Hao let go, he would have a chance to buy back the cannonballs.
But based on my understanding of Li Hao, the price must not be too low, otherwise the breakthrough that I finally opened will be closed by Li Hao, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.
So Yan Youjin didn't answer immediately.
I thought for a long time before speaking.
"The last time I bought artillery, the average price of each shell was sixty yuan."
"This time I opened it for 80 yuan, and bought a total of 600 rounds, for a total of 48,000 yuan."
However, his answer did not move Li Hao's heart. His calm face remained calm, as if he had not heard anything.
Yan Youjin was anxious and immediately added: "I will add another twenty yuan and buy it for the price of one hundred yuan for one cannon shell."
The expression on Li Hao's face remained unchanged.
Yan Youjin didn't know what to do at this time. He stared at Li Hao and asked: "Captain Li, Brother Li, if you have any requests, feel free to ask for them. As long as I can meet them, I will definitely satisfy you."
"If I can't satisfy you here, I will go back and report to the commander immediately and try my best to satisfy you."
"Anyway, you have to give us some cannonballs this time no matter what."
Li Hao no longer hesitated, stared at Yan Youjin and asked: "If outsourced, how many ocean shells will be needed for these shells? Commander Yan should know better than me, right?"
"To be honest, except for a very small part of the artillery shells in our garrison's inventory, which are original artillery shells captured by the Japanese army, the rest are all outsourced by us. If the price you offer is lower than our outsourced price,
, do you think we will sell?”
Yan Youjin wanted to know what Li Hao's outsourcing channels were, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
This must be an Eighth Route Army secret, involving the lives and deaths of countless people. If you ask such a secret as an outsider, not only will you not be able to find out the reason, but you will also make yourself unhappy.
After thinking for half a minute, he looked at Li Hao and replied: "Captain Li, as far as I know, the last time the Ministry of Military Affairs purchased weapons and ammunition, the price of such large-caliber artillery shells was one hundred and fifty yuan.
The ocean rises."
"We will give you ten more oceans and buy 600 rounds of artillery shells at the price of one hundred and sixty oceans. This is the biggest concession I can make. If it were any higher, even if I reported it to the superiors, they would not agree.
"
Li Hao still had a calm expression on his face, but his heart was already filled with joy.
These artillery shells were purchased from the United States at a very low price in Chongqing. What they paid was only penicillin production technology. In Li Hao's eyes, that was nothing at all, so the cost for the garrison to obtain these artillery shells was almost zero.
Now selling it for 160 yuan is definitely a waste of money.
Under Yan Youjin's gaze, he thought for a long time before pretending to be heartbroken and replied: "Yes, but I can only sell you five hundred rounds."
"When these five hundred rounds of artillery shells are used up, we still have many more artillery shells in stock, and we will continue to sell them to you."
Yan Youjin took a long breath.
Although five hundred rounds of artillery shells is not much, it can definitely give the commander an explanation.
As for the price, it is a bit high, but the Jinsui Army can still afford it.
After all, heavy artillery is not an ordinary artillery. It will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. If you use it sparingly, 500 rounds of artillery shells will definitely last for a long time.
If anyone has any objections to this price and has the ability to buy it himself, he might not even be able to buy it for 200 oceans per round.
Therefore, Yan Youjin is confident that the superior will agree to the price. At that time, he will definitely get more credit.
Looking at Li Hao, he quickly replied: "Five hundred rounds is five hundred rounds. Commander Li, please prepare the shells. I will contact the commander now to send the money."
