Chapter 452 Promoting new weapons

When they arrived at the shooting range, workers at the Guangdong Arsenal had sent all kinds of sample weapons here. Vietnamese and Dennis were looking through and inspecting them happily. These sample weapons were not just the few ordered by Vietnamese. In addition to imitation Mauser rifles, light machine guns, and mortars, there were also imitation Maxim heavy machine guns, Type 88 Hanyang, Mauser pistols, Browning pistols, grenades, and various mines. Almost all the arms produced by the Guangdong Arsenal gathered here.

Wu Shaoting walked up to Ruan Lingzhi and said with a casual smile: "Brother Ruan, how about it? These are all hot-selling products in our Guangdong Guangdong. Let's try it first."

Ruan Lingzhi immediately nodded to her entourage, and Dennis also walked up to stand with the entourage. Deng Keng assigned two arsenal staff to guide, and soon all kinds of gunfire sounds came from the shooting range. In addition to the ability of the Vietnamese to get started quickly, even the Maxim heavy machine gun was a little difficult, not to mention the new light machine gun and mortar. When the factory staff came forward to demonstrate in person, several Vietnamese hurriedly surrounded him, and one of them took out a pen and a notebook to make records.

Although Dennis was also observing, his comprehension ability was obviously much better than that of Vietnamese. He just watched it once and tried it himself, and soon he understood the operating principle of the weapon.

Wu Shaoting couldn't help laughing when he looked at the Vietnamese buns, and said, "Brother Ruan, you don't need to record your people. If you really don't understand, I can send someone to Vietnam with you to train and use it step by step. This is also within the scope of our service."

Ruan Lingzhi glanced back at Wu Shaoting, and did not speak. The attendant who was making records replied with a smile: "General Wu is really meant. In fact, we just made records just in case. The key is not to operate, but to record the characteristics of these weapons. This time we only purchased a part of the weapons. When we need them in the future, we can purchase other weapons according to the above records."

Wu Shaoting nodded and smiled, "So that's it. I hope we can make another bigger deal soon."

The escort responded casually while yelling.

At this time, after personally testing the light machine gun twice, Dennis walked towards Wu Shaoting while slapping his hands.

Wu Shaoting asked with a smile: "How is it, Mr. Dennis, do you have any thoughts?"

Dennis nodded seriously and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that, I never expected that your Guangdong Arsenal had actually improved the Matterson light machine gun."

Wu Shaoting asked in surprise: "Mr. Dennis, how did you know that our light machine gun was improved from the Matterson light machine gun?"

Dennis smiled and said, "Denmark is one of our close trading partners in France. There are many Matterson light machine guns currently in service in our French team. Just look at its unique barrel and stock design, which is enough to make me come to a conclusion."

Wu Shaoting then said: "Mr. Dennis is indeed very knowledgeable. That's right, this light machine gun is improved by the Matterson light machine gun. Although it has made many choices, I believe that the practical model of this light machine gun now must be greater than that of the Matterson light machine gun, otherwise it will not be called "improved".

Dennis paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "General Wu, I think your light machine gun will soon shine in the arms market, but I believe you are missing a leader now. If you are willing to give me a lower price... I mean, I guarantee that the price discount that is the only one I can enjoy will make it a European best-seller within one year."

Wu Shaoting glanced at Dennis, then smiled and stretched out his hand on Dennis' shoulder, saying as if he was a brother: "Since it is a business, mutual benefit is natural. To be honest, I still have many businesses other than arms that I hope to develop in Vietnam. If Mr. Dennis can give me convenience, I will naturally give Mr. Dennis convenience. I promise that Mr. Dennis gets unique."

Danny showed a complacent smile and said happily: "I am willing to believe that General Wu and I will reach a cooperation again soon."

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "I'm extremely looking forward to it."

After seeing the weapons, the Vietnamese's original stern faces immediately changed, but their leader Ruan Lingzhi still looked cold and did not speak.

Wu Shaoting no longer had any interest in Vietnamese. Now that he could talk to Dennis directly, the local buns in the deep mountains could naturally be left alone. Before coming out of the Guangdong Arsenal, he ordered the Arsenal to pack all the weapons ordered by the Vietnamese and let them take them away when the Vietnamese left. The number of light machine guns is not large now, so he can only take two of them first, and wait until the remaining arms are paid for the final payment before shipping them slowly.

At night, Cen Chunxuan did not plan to entertain in the mansion, so he just arranged to stay in a hotel near the guesthouse for Vietnamese. Wu Shaoting refused directly and asked Cen Chunxuan and Yuzi County to entertain, and then went back home.

After getting off the carriage at the Governor's Office, Wu Shaoting called Deng Keng and said to him: "Tomorrow, the arsenal and Sino-German factory will change all production lines to produce light machine guns and reach the mass production scale as soon as possible."

Deng Keng nodded without a question and replied, "I understand."

After a while, Deng Keng tried to ask again: "Guardian, these Vietnamese people are simply too rude today. Don't you think it's too much at all?"

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "Excessive? I wish I could drive these people back to the valley. Let them go. Small customers are also customers. You can't make money without making any profit. This is a taboo in the general business. Anyway, they will get out sooner or later, so there is no need to argue with them."

Deng Keng sighed and said, "But the governor, this will make the Vietnamese more aggressive, and it will be too detrimental to the majesty of our Chinese."

Wu Shaoting smiled disdainfully. He glanced at Deng Keng and asked, "Do you know the difference between a local bun and a local rich man?"

Deng Keng was stunned, obviously not understanding what Wu Shaoting meant.

Wu Shaoting continued, "The local bun, you will know that you are wrong if you hit him; the local rich man, you will only hate you even more. Although I call these Vietnamese people local buns, the local buns with money is the local rich man. There is no need to be upset about these little people. Even if they are more demanding, aren't they still slaves of the French now? Let's have a good relationship with their master, and nothing else should be taken seriously."

Deng Keng nodded suddenly and sighed: "So that's it, I understand."

According to the Vietnamese's own itinerary, they had to stay in Guangzhou for a few more days, but from the next day, Wu Shaoting ignored these people anymore. Even Cen Chunxuan was lazy to take the time to accompany him and left it to Yuzi County to deal with it. That morning, Cen Chunxuan came to the Governor's Office to meet Wu Shaoting and made a brief report on the recent accounts of Zhang Shengting's company in Vietnam.

After listening, Wu Shaoting said, "Yun Gong, there is no need to report this kind of thing to me in person in the future. I will let go of my business for the people below. I just need to know how much I earned or how much I accompanied me. The process will be handled by the people below, so that everyone can be busy."

Cen Chunxuan smiled slightly and said, "Only Governor Wu has such generous courage. Although these accounts are fragmentary matters, they all have important significance after all. Those with keen eyes can even analyze more information from it."

Wu Shaoting smiled self-deprecatingly: "I may have this wise eye to lead troops to war. It is better to leave business matters to specialized personnel. In fact, you are the same for Yun Gong. Just feel at ease when you should let go of things. There is no need to take care of everything yourself. You are the Prime Minister of Civil Affairs in the whole province of Guangdong. If you really do this, you wouldn't be exhausted?"

Cen Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your concern. In fact, the official duties that the old man needs to do are just official duties that no one can entrust. If you really need to take care of everything, the old man is powerless. This Vietnamese company has recently opened and will not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while, so you have to watch it yourself."
