Zhong Yi didn't urge, just smiled and looked at little Winchester.

After hesitating for a long time, little Winchester finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhong, how about I pay five times the price to buy these three weapon patents, one million dollars?" ”

Winchester Jr. felt that the price was already fair.

So after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhong Yi with confidence.

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said indifferently: "Five million dollars, no bargaining, thank you." ”

"Oh, five million?!" Little Winchester's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, this bargain was too ruthless, and he didn't let others fucking bargain, he simply lost his conscience!

Zhong Yi really didn't give Winchester Jr. a chance to bargain, so he immediately turned to Commodus and said: "Your Excellency, you can do me a favor and help me apply for a patent for these three weapons in the United States, and then sell them for a total of eight million US dollars, and when the patent is sold, I will pay you 20% of the proceeds as a reward." ”

Commodus is now a close partner with Zhong Yi, and of course he is willing to help him.

At that moment, Commodus leaned slightly to the side and said, "Your Excellency, you will be happy to serve you. ”

Seeing that these three weapons patents were about to slip away, Winchester Jr. suddenly became anxious and shouted, "No, wait! ”

Zhong Yi turned his head and looked at little Winchester with a smile, and said, "Has Mr. Winchester changed his mind?" ”

"I can buy these three weapons patents for five million dollars!" Winchester Jr. gritted his teeth and said, "But I'm afraid I can't take out so much money now, so can I pay a part of it first?" The rest will be paid to you when the war breaks out and our Winchester Arms Company has a profit? ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Mr. Zhong, you should know that our Winchester Arms Manufacturing Company is really difficult at the moment, and we really can't come up with so much money at once. ”

At present, the arms dealers of the United States are in a very difficult situation, and this Zhong Yi is of course very clear.

But no matter how difficult these arms dealers are, if they have good chips in their hands, it is still very easy to find financing, and the price is nothing more than the loss of a little equity, but as long as the whole arms cake is bigger, Winchester Company will still make money, so Winchester's bitterness is purely acting.

So Zhong Yi was not moved at all, and said: "Since this is the case, then forget it." ”

After saying that, Zhong Yi was going to talk to Commodus again, and little Winchester cursed viciously in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, then five million dollars!" I bought these three patents! However, I really can't pay you the money now, and I have to go back to the United States to give it to you. ”

"No problem." Zhong Yi smiled, "Citibank and Chase Bank have opened cross-ocean exchange business, and Mr. Winchester can wait until he returns to the United States to pay." ”

After saying this, Zhong Yi said to Commodus again: "Your Excellency, I have you to help us draft the concession agreement. ”

"No problem." Commodus readily agreed, because this was his duty in the first place, and as a minister, one of his duties was to coordinate the cooperation between the Chinese merchants.

The agreement for the transfer of the arms patent was signed quickly.

Zhong Yi put away the agreement that belonged to him, and said to Winchester Jr. with a smile: "Mr. Winchester, in fact, you don't have to pay me so much cash. ”

Winchester was stunned and said, "What does Mr. Zhong mean by this?" ”

"Because I urgently need a batch of munitions." Zhong Yi smiled, "So, you can use arms to redeem cash!" ”

"Can you use arms for cash?" Winchester was in a good mood when he heard this, and now that the arms were worthless, he could even get all the arms at cost.

If these arms were sold to Zhong Yi at the market price, he would be able to earn at least half of them.

In other words, he actually only needs to pay Zhong Yi $2.5 million.

Thinking of this, little Winchester was suddenly in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I don't know how many arms Mr. Zhong wants, and what type of arms he wants?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Arm the full set of American weapons of the three infantry divisions, plus the ammunition reserve of two medium-intensity battles!" ”

"A full set of U.S. weapons for three infantry divisions, plus ammunition reserves for two battles?" Little Winchester habitually took out a paper and pen and began to calculate, "An American mechanic should have 1,500 M1 Thomson submachine guns, 4,500 M1 Garand rifles, 72 Browning air-cooled heavy machine guns, 270 Browning light machine guns, 170 60 mortars, 36 81 mortars, 24 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 12 105mm caliber mountain guns, 12 105mm caliber howitzers, and the remaining pistols are considered to be additions and are no longer included in the total price." ”

With that, Winchester Jr. began to make quick calculations.

After a while, the results came out, and then he said: "The total price of a complete set of American weapons for an infantry division is about 1.35 million US dollars, and if there are three divisions, it will be 4.05 million US dollars, and I will give you a zero, even if it is four million US dollars!" As for the ammunition reserves you mentioned for the two medium-intensity battles, they are not very easy to estimate. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Yi sighed secretly in his heart.

It seems that the formation of an American mechanic is still a luxury after all, and I really can't afford to build it!

A full set of weapons and equipment for an American mechanic costs $1.5 million, and three American mechanics are $4 million, and if you count the ammunition reserves for two medium-intensity battles, not only will there be no transfer fee for the weapon patent just now, but he will even have to find a sum of money for Winchester Jr.!

At that moment, Zhong Yi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the weapon structure of the American mechanic does not seem to be suitable for the Chinese battlefield, so I should make my own list of weapons." ”

"Yes, too." Winchester Jr. is as good as a stream.

Zhong Yi thought for a while and said: "Each division is equipped with 9,000 M1 Garand rifles, 1,500 M1 Thomson submachine guns, 81 Browning air-cooled heavy machine guns, 270 light machine guns, 270 60 mortars, 36 81 mortars, and the rest of the anti-aircraft guns, mountain artillery, and howitzers." ”

Winchester Jr. was stunned and said, "In this case, the firepower will become extremely weak, are you sure you don't want other artillery?" ”

"I'm sure." Zhong Yi sighed secretly in his heart, it's not that he doesn't want artillery, it's really helpless, under the premise of not having air supremacy, the Zhedong Coastal Defense Corps bought artillery, but it can't play a role, because it won't be long before it will be blown up by the devil's naval aviation.

"Okay then." Winches Jr. nodded, and began to calculate again.

After a while, Winchester Jr. said: "If this is the case, the total cost of weapons and equipment for an infantry division is more than 552,000 yuan, wipe it out, an infantry division is 550,000 yuan, and the total price of three infantry divisions is 1.65 million US dollars!" ”
