chapter eight(1/2)
The next day, Lao Zhang knocked on the office door.
"Enter"
"Hey, hey, Wang Wenshu, the smoker's matter has been taken care of. Here are the tickets. Also, it didn't cost so much, so this is extra money!"
While talking, Lao Zhang took a bag of silver coins from his arms and put it on the table, looking at no less than twenty coins.
"Lao Zhang, you want to go to the boss's house."
"You are awesome. My boss is nice and treats us better. Of course I want to go there."
"My boss wants someone to protect me. You are not young, right?"
"Don't mind if you are a poor person and looks old!"
"I don't mind, but my boss~~"
"Look!" The money bag was pushed again. After counting sixty Yuan Datou, the clothes maker's pockets were just right.
"I'll go out first and you have a cup of tea first."
"You are busy first!"
What is Manager Qiu doing? Go and have a look.
"Brother Qiu, you are busy!"
"Well, I'm thinking about who to send to my boss!"
"I think we should choose from the elderly. We have been working with the boss for so long, so the boss can rest assured."
"Do you have someone?"
"Lao Zhang, the concierge, has been doing this job for a long time. He is the only one in the family, so he doesn't know what his skills are."
"Do you think he's okay?"
"Don't you need to use a gun when you go to the boss's place? If you have a good shooting or have good skills, I will recommend him."
"Okay, when we are full, let's compete." "You go and get all the guns first."
"The gun is here."
"It's not much. There are some in the merchant's store. Butler Wang from my employer's house will take you there. He just sent a letter asking us to meet at Hadley's."
"Okay, I'll call the Master right now."
Go back to the house and call up Lao Zhang, "Compare your skills and marksmanship, can you do it?"
"Don't worry about your skills, it's just this gun, we have never shot before!"
"Okay, I'll get more bullets depending on the situation and practice more."
"Thank you very much!"
"Don't thank me yet, bullets cost money."
"You tell me the number, and we won't have any objections."
"Call Lao Yu and let's go to the foreign store to draw a gun together."
"It's up to you."
Calling Lao Yu, the three of them arrived in front of Hadley Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. They saw a middle-aged man who had just had his braids removed standing at the door, accompanied by a young man in a suit, and hurried forward.
"Butler Wang?"
"Wang Wenwu?"
"Boy Wang Wenwu, I've kept you waiting for so long!"
"Stop talking nonsense, the money has been paid. You and Manager Xiao go to the warehouse to get it. You will keep six 2,000-round bullets for your guns. The others will be sent over." "Manager Xiao, I will leave first.
This is troubling you."
"You're welcome. If you need anything else, please take care of us at Hadley & Co. We are all high-end British goods!"
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say"
I respectfully send Butler Wang off,
"Manager Xiao, where is the warehouse? Get the things so we can reply."
"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to accompany you." "Xiao He, come here."
Another young man in a suit, with a slicked back hair, and the leather shoes on his feet were spotless, so smooth they could be used as mirrors.
"Manager, call me!"
"Well, you take these guys to the warehouse to get something. This is the bill of lading."
"Okay, manager." "Please follow me. We will cross two streets."
"Excuse me, please lead the way! Please!"
After walking two streets to the warehouse, Xiao He showed the bill of lading to the steward. The steward took us to the door of the warehouse where the arms were stored, and took out a box containing 30 Webley 0.455-inch Mark4/V revolvers and pistols.
3 boxes of bullets, 9,000 rounds.
"Xiao He, if we want to test the gun, where can we do it?"
"There is a shooting range next to our warehouse, please come with me."
Choose a 20-meter target and "try six bullets for each gun."
"I understand, Wang Wenshu."
Webley's 0.455-inch Mark4/V revolver is a large-caliber pistol. I was not sure about the first shot, but after a few test shots, I was able to hit the target.
"Master He is young and promising. He is working under the manager of a foreign bank at a young age. I think the next manager will definitely be you!"
"You're welcome, I just joined a foreign bank, but Manager Xiao is my brother-in-law, otherwise I would have followed Manager Xiao as soon as I entered a foreign bank!"
"Master He, it turns out that he is Manager Xiao's brother-in-law. Isn't that even more promising?"
"No, no, no, there are still excellent ones!" The boy's mouth reached behind his ears.
"Master He, I also work in the warehouse. I want to see how foreign companies are managed,"
"It's easy. I can show you first. The management system is written on the wall. You can take a look!"
"Thank you so much!"
I went to various warehouses with Xiao He and the manager. When I came to the granary, the rules were written and hung on the wall at the door.
"Master He, let me see, your stack of goods is different. Can I go in and take a look?"
"Please do it!" Xiao He said and stood at the door without moving. The warehouse was full of dust. He didn't want to get his polished leather shoes dirty. The steward was also accompanying Xiao He outside.
After confirming that no one had seen it, he collected two pieces of white flour, which accounted for almost forty cubic meters. He didn't dare to take more, so he turned around and came out and said to Xiao He:
"I will do this when I go back, so it will be better when ordering goods!"
"You have learned!"
"learned!"
Finally we came to the place where the arms were placed.
"This is where the arms are kept, let's take a look too!"
"I have to take a look. If my boss wants to get involved, I'll know what to do!"
"Then let's take a look!"
Looking at the rules and regulations at the door, there are several cannons placed at the door.
"Drink, you still have guns to buy!"
"This belongs to Dashuai Zhang from the Northeast, and it's waiting for someone to transport it away!"
"Excuse me, is there anything I should pay attention to when storing this bullet?"
The steward next to the station said: "First of all, there is a fire ban, and you are not allowed to unbox, play with, dismantle ammunition, de-stack and stack other operations in the warehouse. You must handle it with care, and you are not allowed to throw, drag, roll, invert or
Fall."
"Today was really a worthwhile trip. Not only did I get to know the young talents of Hadley & Co., but I also learned a lot!"
Everyone laughed and left. Xiao He left first, but the manager couldn't let him go first. When no one was paying attention, he quickly used his shielding hand to reach for the .45 bullets and took away the two boxes. Nothing happened all the way and they returned to the shooting range.
Lao Zhang stepped forward and said: "Wang Wenwen, I have tried everything, and there is no problem."
"Okay, we're too sorry for disturbing you, let's take our leave!"
"Wang Wenshu, our Hadley Company not only has guns, but also other things. Please take care of us!"
"You're welcome. Let's go back to our boss first. We will definitely come next time! Please stay!"
"You walk slowly!"
These boxes of things are not light. I asked a landlord to get up to the host's house and call the concierge. Butler Wang came out.
"Count, six guns and two thousand bullets will come out, then go back!"
