From a certain point of view, Miss Ann Charles is more terrifying than the devil: she first invited a famous British privateer to Alphonse's house with an invitation. In fact, she did not talk about rapid-fire cannons at all, and she also talked about rapid-fire cannons.

There was an issue of purchasing artillery processing equipment, so the communication between the two parties was very harmonious; then, Clark Allen was brought in, and he deceived him that the other party was here to place an order for 220 artillery pieces, with a 25% advance payment and an agreement to deliver 55 RMB every ten days.

The door was all delivered within forty days. It can be said that it was complete and orderly. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Mr. Clark was frightened. On the one hand, privateers were like pirates, and on the other hand, privateers were like pirates.

He was a lackey of the British Navy, so he got a brand new order as soon as he returned, 240 artillery pieces, with a 30% advance payment, and agreed to deliver 60 artillery pieces every ten days, and all delivery would be completed in forty days! And just after Mr. Clark paid the reservation fee

After that, An Charles invited the privateer over again and told him that he urgently needed a large amount of equipment. Then when the other party pressed him, he told him to order 240 artillery pieces on behalf of the Dutch businessman and pay 35% in advance. Naturally, the businessman did not believe it.

, but he was also very concerned about it, so he spent a little money. After quickly learning that this was indeed the case and that the Dutch were suspected of underwriting all the products, he naturally got a new order from some friends, 300 artillery pieces, with a 40% advance payment.

, the same 60 doors were delivered in ten days, and the necessary delivery was completed in fifty days. The most important thing is that they asked to pick up the goods themselves!

Alphonse didn't have a ship to begin with, so he naturally didn't care about the villain's desire to prevent gangsters from taking advantage of others. However, through this alone, Miss An? Charles won the order for 540 artillery pieces in just ten days.

The advance payment is as high as 2880 (unit price 40 livres/door) 6600 (unit price 55 livres/door) 9480 livres. Her 5% commission will be 474 livres. Of course, Mr. Alphonse showed the capitalist

Due to his limited generosity, he settled the settlement of 480 livres for Ann Charles and gave her a fixed salary of 5 livres per month on the grounds that she had another commission, which was as high as 480 livres for the British.

Commission on artillery orders, so people with such high commissions do not deserve high basic wages...

Sure enough, the devil's partner can often only be the devil. Alphonse, whose cash in hand exceeded fifteen thousand livres, was still stingy, and the number of servants in his family was only increased from three to six. In order not to give Yasuo any trouble.

An Charles paid the rent and directly arranged for them to live at home, and even charged for food! In terms of investment, the advance payment for the artillery was obtained, but the British artillery equipment order was not placed. It is estimated that the British are also afraid of his mass production.

It was an enemy, and he pretended to have forgotten about it; the purchase of a new workshop and the transfer of the artillery factory were also arranged, but due to the problem of full orders, he did not consider adding new equipment in a short period of time, but made a third

After all, Alfons underestimated the Dutch and the British. He could get an order for 540 artillery pieces just by fighting with real swords and guns, or he could wipe out a wave of pirates.

How about even getting an order for five thousand artillery pieces?

The feedback was weirder than expected. Half a month later, that is, after delivering two batches of rapid-fire artillery to the British and the Dutch respectively, Darren Desai, who had stayed in Spain for a full month, came back and gave it to him.

Alphonse has a super order: 1,200 rapid-fire cannons, with only one requirement, and the British can’t even get a single one!

It's so funny. I thought Spain would be the country in the world that needs rapid-fire artillery the most, but the reality is that they became the first country to be beaten by rapid-fire artillery: Darren Desai arrived in Spain very early, and even quickly

They contacted the military minister responsible for procurement, but the other party was unable to get in. Even if Darren Desai showed the power of rapid-fire cannons many times, they just didn't want it. The reason is very simple. No pirate dares to rob Spain! If so, it would

It must be the damn British army. Their idea is to sink the people and the ship directly into the sea. The bigger the caliber, the better! Naturally, Darren Desai is basically desperate. After all, dreams are full, but reality is often very boney.

However, unexpectedly, the British had just received a batch of rapid-fire cannons half a month ago, and they thought that all the money had been spent and they had to practice. They happened to find a Spanish treasure ship in the open sea. So there is a story...

.

Since the demand was robbery, the British actually had a headache with the thin-skinned Spanish treasure ships. They would sink if they made too much noise, and the salvage profits were often not ideal. But the rapid-fire cannon was different. The power of nine pounds was quite powerful.

The ship's side was so low that it couldn't hit the deck? It didn't matter, they swept the fort. The British pounced on the Spanish treasure ship like a hyena, and directly fired Spanish naval guns at close range. Under dozens of rapid-fire cannons, thirty

In less than a second, the sixty bottom forts of the Spanish treasure ship were all misfired, and all of them were slightly detonated. The entire upper deck was lifted directly. In this way, the British had no trouble with a bathtub that even had the deck lid open.

With little effort, the ship was completely moved. When the Spanish reinforcements arrived, they only saw an almost intact hull and countless grapeshots...

The Spaniards suddenly had a long memory, and they pulled Darren Desai into the palace in the middle of the night. After hearing Darren Desai's timid offer of 70 livres, the Spaniards expressed their willingness to increase the price to 80 livres.

, the order is also placed first for his year's production, anyway, it must be done as quickly as possible so that the British can't even get a hair out of it!

"Well, Uncle Darren, you need to inform the Spanish as soon as possible that the British have placed an order for three hundred artillery pieces and have already delivered half of them. Let them pay attention in the near future. We will not let the British in the next year.

Get the artillery." For the Spaniards who are so smart, Alphonse also provided an additional new gadget: "In addition, we have developed more advanced rapid-fire artillery and professional shotguns, whether in colonies or close range.

For defense, the metal storm rapid-fire cannon that can throw 60 marbles in one shot is also very good. It will not be sold to any country or businessman until Spain clearly refuses."

"Are you sure?" Darren Desai asked in disbelief.

"Of course. If there are enough sheep, it's actually very cost-effective to just focus on a farm to collect wool, isn't it?" Anshaire, who was listening nearby and felt his heart bleed, complained. He originally captured the British.

After the order was placed, she also went to the Spanish Netherlands, but the Spaniards were all indifferent. She withdrew without even staying for a week, and could only watch the order fall into the hands of Darren Desai.

In...

"The question is, if I wrap up all the orders directly, don't others have any opinions?" Darren Desai said awkwardly.

"Everyone has their own luck. This is a gift from God, and the British are indeed too bad. It doesn't matter if they lose their orders." Alphonse replied without hesitation, could it not be bad? If the Spaniards hadn't been so impatient

He didn't even know that he had sold a Spanish treasure ship to the British for only 3,000 livres...

"Poor Will." Darren Desai had to sigh for Will Morty who went to Denmark. After all, he had fulfilled the order, which meant that Will Morty might not be able to get the goods.

"No, Uncle Will came back half a month ago. Although it's not much, he still has an order for 200 artillery pieces. He went to the Rhine again and just replenished 200 artillery pieces a few days ago. It seems like he is going to the Baltic Sea these days.

Yes." Alphonse smiled.

"That's good, how much goods do you have now?" Darren Desai asked again.

"A month ago we increased the production to 24 guns per day, and half a month ago it was 36 guns. So far, we have produced more than a thousand artillery pieces. Excluding those that have been delivered, there are currently 400 guns in stock, and they can all be delivered immediately.

, taking into account the subsequent order issues, another 400 units will be delivered every 20 days, and all will be delivered within 40 days." Alphonse replied.

"Oh God! The Spaniards thought this would be a year's output!" Darren Desai replied, covering his face in disbelief.

"This will help the Spaniards speed up the replenishment of new orders. Believe me, as long as the quantity is sufficient, the Spaniards will keep more assets." Alphonse didn't know what he had done yet. For more money, he did not hesitate.

Use massive artillery to force the Spaniards to place more orders...

"I will return to Spain as soon as possible. In addition, the 10 livres added by the Spaniards must be for you, so our settlement price will be 50 livres." Darren Desai added, after all, he

He has already received a premium of 30 livres for a cannon. If Alphonse continues to trust him, that will be more important than him monopolizing the 10 livres premium.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Darren." Alphonse naturally accepted it without hesitation. After Darren Desai left, An Charles came to life immediately: "God, let's get a boat of our own."

Let’s team up and just rob the Spaniards, how about that?”

"Are you crazy because of poverty?" Alphonse rolled his eyes and said breathlessly: "In just one month, you have already taken away more than 1,300 livres from me. Before that, this was your income for several years.

”

"You have never been poor." Miss Ann Charles showed a sentimental expression for the first time.

"That's right, this kind of people don't understand us because they have never been poor." Yasuo, who was sitting next to him while drinking reserve brandy and rejoicing that he was about to get a share of 300 livres, complained: "Just between two

A few months ago, in order to raise money for my son’s wedding, I even sold him my most beloved treasure.”

"How much does it cost for the wedding?" An Xiel suddenly became energetic.

"A thousand livres, God, that damn noble lady. Although my son is a captain, his monthly income is only 20 livres. Adding his own expenses and the money spent for her, a year

I can't even save 50 livres. I'm afraid it will take him 20 years to save it. I have no choice but to sell my belongings everywhere to raise money." Yasuo shook his head and said.

"So you'd better be grateful. It's me who allows you to earn more than a thousand livres in two months now. If you want, your son can even marry a new wife in two months." Alphonse turned over.

He rolled his eyes and felt frustrated, but when he saw An Xiaer's expression was incomprehensible, he spoke again: "An, why are you short of money?"

"I was born in Marseille. My family opened a leather shop, and my life was pretty good. When I was young, a cousin from a noble family came to my house and played very well with me. My father wanted us to get married." Ann Charles was somewhat agitated.

He said distressedly: "The other party also intended to do this. They also funded my brother's education in an aristocratic school and recommended my brother to join the army. However, eight years ago, the Fronde movement caused my cousin's family to fall into ruin, and his original promotion to captain was also in vain.
