Wang Wenwu exchanged pleasantries with Manager Liu for a while. Wang Wenwu asked Manager Liu: "Manager Liu, as you said, you are also from Zhangjiakou. Do you know if the guns in Zhangjiakou are easy to sell?"

Manager Liu thought for a while and replied: "There have always been many bandits in Zhangjiakou. Not to mention bandits, we also need guns to defend ourselves. Naturally, we need a lot of guns. I wonder if Mr. Wu has a short gun?"

"This short gun is much more expensive than the long gun, and the purchase price is much less. This is my first time doing this kind of business. What kind of goods do you want me to buy?"

"Yes, but Master Wu, if you buy some short guns and give them to the housekeepers and ladies, you should be able to make a lot of money."

"Do you think I haven't thought about it? Just tell me how to sell guns to those ladies. Each family only sells one or two. Long guns are much easier to sell."

"Yes, but next time you purchase goods, please purchase a few short guns so that I can give them to my boss's lady."

"Of course there is no problem, Manager Liu. Apart from the two hundred guns this time, is there anyone else who wants guns?"

"I knew you wanted to ask this. In order to earn your money, I asked you all the questions. Maybe you sold the gun to the second master. The business owners in Zhangjiakou were robbed ruthlessly, and every household

We have increased our manpower, I can help you grab 264 handfuls from the foreign company!"

"Thank you very much, please bring the deposit right now."

"You should be careful, the other cars I have here belong to you."

"They've all been replaced with leather,"

"Let's exchange things for things. Most of the bosses in Zhangjiakou are in the leather business. If I see you and want leather, I won't give it to you."

"Then you have to wait. While you rest in BJ City, I have to deal with all the skins. I have a good idea."

"Hey, come and see, this is fine leather,"

"Are you in a hurry to leave?"

"Didn't you sell the second master a gun to the bandit again? The bosses are all worried."

"Then don't mind if I ask someone to come and take a look."

"No way, I'm waiting for you,"

After Wang Wenwu exchanged pleasantries for a while, he asked shopkeeper Zhao, who had bought leather last time, to look at the goods.

Wang Wenwu found shopkeeper Zhao, and introduced and exchanged greetings with Manager Liu.

Manager Liu said: "Come on, come on, Shopkeeper Zhao, you are an expert, come and check it out. These leathers are all fine leather and are finely tanned. The skins are white, the fur is stretched and shiny, and the leather clothes are plump, soft and have good elasticity."

"

Shopkeeper Zhao picked up the leather and inspected it one by one.

Shopkeeper Zhao said to Wang Wenwu: "Yes, they are all good guys," and then he handed the two of them. Wang Wenwu wanted to pay shopkeeper Zhao for tea, but shopkeeper Zhao refused to accept it.

Shopkeeper Zhao said goodbye to Manager Liu again and said to Wang Wenwu: "Master Wu, if you want to sell this leather, please come to me."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Wang Wenwu and Manager Liu watched Shopkeeper Zhao leave.

Manager Liu said: "Master Wu, please tell me when you can get the gun."

"You definitely can't leave today. I'll treat you to a meal at Lanweizhai first. You can take your things away tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wu."

"I'll take the leather away first. Let's meet at Lanweizhai in the evening."

"Okay, see you at Lanweizhai tonight."

Wang Wenwu called his boss, unloaded the leather, and dragged it all the way to Hadley & Co., where Manager Xiao from before came out to greet him.

Manager Xiao stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Hey, Master Wu, I was wondering why the magpies were chirping this morning. It turns out it's you."

Manager Xiao saw the car full of leathers following behind Wang Wenwu and said, "That's what you got. Since you got us, Hadley & Co., we will definitely give you a good price."

"This is something that can't be said for sure. I just asked the price first. Shopkeeper Zhao from Hengxingxiang helped me look at it. He didn't confiscate my tea money!"

"Shopkeeper Zhao from Hengxingxiang, I know that he also sells his skins to our Hadley & Co."

"As long as you don't mind me just asking about the price, that's fine."

"How could that be? Do you want anything else? We, Hadley & Co., will sell it to you cheaply."

"Then I'll ask!"

"Hey, why are you being polite to me?"

"That's Manly Xia, what's your price now?"

"You are really here today. Didn't the Allies want to restore the Russian Empire the year before last?"

"Well, there is such a thing, but didn't the newspapers say a while ago that we had withdrawn the troops stationed in Siberia and that they had all come back."

"There are still people who haven't come back. The important thing is that a lot of guns and artillery have been shipped over."

"I can't take the gun. What's going on with the gun?"

"What else could it be like? It's just like the last batch of guns you got. They are all old guns, but this time they don't have to be shipped from Europe. How about, how many guns do you want!"

"Then tell me first what the price is. If it's too expensive, then you'd better give me silver dollars."

"This time it's one silver dollar per pound, which is cheaper than what you bought last time!"

"Oh, oh, your business is really great. Otherwise, why would you be the manager?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry for your praise."

"No, don't be embarrassed. I'm going to tell you something too, so don't mind it if you hear it!"

"Okay, please tell me"

"That's right. After I received the gun before, I had never touched it. I was curious, and I even weighed it to see how much it weighed."

Manager Xiao's eyes evaded and said: "You still weighed me!"

Wang Wenwu looked directly at Manager Xiao and said: "Do you know how much the Mannlicher rifle I bought last time weighed? Let me tell you, it's nine kilograms. A gun weighs nine kilograms."

Manager Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the gun is so heavy. It costs one silver dollar per pound. Isn't it the same as last time? It's the same as last time. Master Wu, I'm sorry. Brother, oh, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.

Brother me.”

"Manager Xiao, you are not someone who wields swords or guns. It's normal if you don't know."

When Manager Xiao heard this, he quickly came down the slope: "That's right, that's right, brother, I rarely deal with people with guns like this. Master Wu, please don't blame me. Brother, I'll give you more bullets," Manager Xiao lowered his head and thought.

Clicked "Each gun comes with one hundred rounds of ammunition, what do you think?"

"This bullet takes up a lot of space, please give me more!"

"Then tell me the number,"

"Five hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun,"

"Master Wu, this is too much. I will give you one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition for each gun. What do you think?"

"Okay, I guess you're in a hurry,"

Manager Xiao also cooperated and wiped away the sweat.

Wang Wenwu continued: "Then what kind of guns are these? Are they not rusty? The ones last time had a little bit of rust, and I wiped them off little by little. If it wasn't too much, I would have hired someone to clean the guns.

."

"It's inevitable to use sea transportation. After all, it's not new!"

"Then we agreed in advance that if there is any rust, you have to remove it for me,"

"Okay, the guns in Vladivostok are all Allied guns. There are German Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles and Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1895 rifles. Do you want a machine gun?"

"The machine gun will tell you later. Is this pistol available in Vladivostok?"

"Of course there are. They are all from the Allied Powers. How about box cannons."
