Chapter 370: Increasing the quantity without increasing the price
Felix may have figured it out after he was kidnapped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info or rather, it really needs money. After seeing Wang Qinghai and Shi Dongliang, they happily agreed that no matter how many arms they wanted, they could use the last price to make a deal. After all, for $55 a gun, he can almost double the price. This time, the profit was enough to compensate him for all his losses.
However, Felix put forward one condition, he only talked to Zhu Muyun. Although this request was a bit excessive, Wang Qinghai did not object. Because, he doesn't want to be with foreigners, talking hypocritically, and eating so-called Western food.
Wang Qinghai likes to drink wine in large bowls, eat meat in large pieces, and eat Western food slowly with a knife and fork, he has no appetite at all. As long as the price is set, he doesn't care who Felix talks to? Even if Felix was willing to talk to him, he wouldn't necessarily have the patience to do so.
"Brother, please, if you want money, let Shi Dongliang give it to you." After Wang Qinghai understood what Felix meant, he decided to leave without waiting for the food to be served. He'd rather eat tamales than steak here.
"Commander Wang, Felix has just run out of the bandits' den, and he may not feel safe in front of strangers." Zhu Muyun sent Wang Qinghai and Shi Dongliang out and explained. Now Felix is indeed very sensitive. According to Yu Xinyu, he will come out now with at least two pistols.
"I can understand, I can understand." Wang Qinghai said disappreciably.
The Sixth Division needed a thousand Mauser 98K, plus a million rounds of ammunition. At a price of $55 per gun and $55 per 1,000 rounds of 79 pointed rounds, a total of $110,000 would be required. Wang Qinghai was very happy and asked Shi Dongliang to take the dollar check that had been prepared a long time ago to Zhu Muyun. For him, what he buys is what he earns.
"Master Wang, you give me the money now, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the $110,000?" Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"I can't believe anyone else, but you won't. And, with Felix's virtue, do you think, he would agree to cash on delivery? Wang Qinghai smiled.
Although he had not dealt with Felix before, he could still see this. Now, but during the war years, no one dared to trust others easily. A thousand guns, sent from Germany to China, at least a month or more, who knows whether the Sixth Division will still exist at that time? In this matter, Felix has the initiative, and he will definitely not do cash on delivery.
Wang Qinghai actually has a small abacus, he handed over the money to Zhu Muyun, and if Felix had a problem, he could still find Zhu Muyun. If the 6th Division signed a contract directly with Felix, and Felix suddenly ran away, who would he go to?
After all, Zhu Muyun has a relationship with Yu Xinyu, and once something happens to Deutsche Foreign Bank, he can know it as soon as possible. If the 6th Division had signed a contract with Deutsche & Co., Felix would have known if he had suddenly run away.
"I'll let you know when the goods arrive." Zhu Muyun took the check, a small piece of paper, worth a thousand guns, plus a million rounds of ammunition, it looked light, but in his hand, it was heavy. Although he has made a lot of money, all his net worth now is not worth as much as this check.
"Mr. Zhu, I don't like dealing with Chinese soldiers." After Felix saw Zhu Muyun come back, he said bluntly.
Although Germany was an ally with Japan, he looked down on Chinese soldiers, especially puppet soldiers like Wang Qinghai. Only if there are more people like Wang Qinghai in China, most of the country's territory will be occupied by Japan. Others, he looked down on all Chinese. It's just that Zhu Muyun and Yu Xinyu are exceptions.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the business can be done, Master Wang won't mind. Just now he also entrusted me with full authority to represent the Sixth Division and sign a contract with Deutsche Foreign Bank. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"I know the habits of you Chinese, this business, you introduced, you need to pay a certain commission. So, decide, give you a $5 commission. According to the Chinese, this is a kickback. Felix said.
Zhu Muyun personally went to pay the ransom and rescued him, which he was very grateful. The reason why he was in a hurry to do the business of the Sixth Division was that in addition to wanting to make money, he also wanted to return Zhu Muyun's favor. After giving the kickback this time, he didn't owe Zhu Muyun affection.
"Guns and bullets?" Zhu Muyun said that if it was just a gun, he would have made five thousand dollars. If you can add bullets, it's $10,000.
"Of course, I calculated for you, they have to pay $110,000 for this business. But you, just give me $100,000 and that's it. The extra $10,000 is my commission for you and a reward for you, do you understand? "Felix is very direct, and that's his style.
"Of course, but I'll give you $110,000, and the extra $10,000 I want to use to buy guns and ammunition. So, I need a total of 1100 guns, plus 1.05 million rounds. In addition, 50 more Mauser fully automatic pistols were required, plus 50,000 rounds of ammunition. Zhu Muyun said with a deep groan.
Ten thousand dollars in your hand, just dead money. But if you change it to guns and bullets, you can turn that $10,000 into $20,000, or even $30,000. The price of the Mauser fully automatic pistol, with a thousand bullets, was also $55 as previously discussed.
"You need guns too?" Felix was surprised and said that with the strong support of the Japanese, the Political Security Bureau would not be short of guns and ammunition.
Wang Qinghai was different, after the uprising of his 118th Regiment, he brought all the weapons and ammunition to the New Fourth Army. In order to rebuild the 118th Regiment, Wang Qinghai could only pay out of his own pocket. He rebuilt the 118th Regiment not to better serve the Japanese army, but just to enhance his strength. The 6th Division originally had three regiments, one less regiment, and his strength fell by a third.
Yu Xinyu was also surprised, what did Zhu Muyun want to buy so many guns for? One hundred and fifty guns, plus fifty thousand rounds of ammunition, was enough to equip a reinforced company. All German-style firearms, even the Self-Defense Forces, rarely have such equipment.
Although the Sixth Division bought 1,000 Mauser 98K, it does not mean that Wang Qinghai will equip all the guns with the army. This batch of guns, he is more likely, was used to sell them at a high price. If Zhu Muyun used these guns to prepare an armament, he would be considered a small warlord.
"Although the price of this batch of guns is slightly more expensive than the purchase of large quantities. But it is much cheaper than private trading. You gave me $10,000, just $10,000. If I had exchanged 150 guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition, I might have been able to get back $20,000. Zhu Muyun shook his head gently, he had never thought of establishing an armed force. This is not only a means of doing business, but also a cover for the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army to provide weapons.
"You're very business-minded." Felix didn't expect Zhu Muyun to think like this. Zhu Muyun works in the Political Security Bureau, which is really a waste of talent. If he could do trade, he would soon become a successful businessman.
"There's no way, I have to make money to support my family, so that I can marry Xinyu back as soon as possible." Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"Who said they were going to marry you?" Yu Xinyu took a sip, her face turned crimson. Zhu Muyun is speaking now, and he is becoming more and more open-mouthed. If it goes on like this, she doesn't know how long she can tolerate it.
"That's right, a man can't let his beloved woman live a high-quality life, so what kind of man is it?" Felix said with a smile that he supported Zhu Muyun's idea. Men, just to make more money.
"How long will it take for this batch of guns and ammunition to arrive in Guxing?" Zhu Muyun asked.
"It won't take long, half a month at the latest." Felix said that a thousand guns, of course he would not ship them from Germany. There are quite a few German foreign companies engaged in the arms trade in Shanghai, and it is enough to divide the goods from them.
"Half a month? That's great. Zhu Muyun said happily that the shorter the time, the sooner he could sell it.
"If all goes well, you'll receive it in a week." Felix said confidently.
"Lao Fei, there is an old saying in China, it is called to eat a trench and grow wisdom. You were kidnapped this time, why didn't you think about finding yourself a few nurses? Zhu Muyun said.
"You're talking about bodyguards, right? I've had someone find it for me in Shanghai. Felix said that he was German and of course wanted to find a German bodyguard. In Shanghai, there are quite a few Germans. Among them, some were once retired from the army and are very suitable to be bodyguards.
"What's so good about the bodyguards in Shanghai, you should find locals, they are more familiar with the situation of Gu Xing." Zhu Muyun said with a smile that he had actually thought about this for Felix a long time ago, but he didn't expect that Felix would have to hire bodyguards from Shanghai.
"I believe in the Germans more." Felix shook his head, the security issue, naturally, can't be handed over to others.
After eating, Zhu Muyun went to Deutsche & Co. to sign a contract with Felix. Although Felix takes good care of him, as Wang Qinghai expected, business is business, and favor is favor. Since Zhu Muyun ordered the goods, he had to pay first, and he couldn't owe a penny.
"Old Fei, my money has already been paid, what about yours?" Zhu Muyun said.
"No problem, I'll write you a check right away." Felix said that the reason why he was in a hurry to complete the deal with Wang Qinghai was also to pay Zhu Muyun the money.
Yesterday in the woods, after Zhu Muyun saw Felix, he told him about the ransom. Of the 200 gold bars, only 20 were from Deutsche & Co., and the remaining 180 were paid in advance by the special high school. Zhu Muyun told Felix about the matter, and if Felix didn't agree to pay the two hundred gold bars, Zhu Muyun wouldn't bring him back.
A gold bar, converted into US dollars, about $55, Felix wrote a check for $9,900 to Zhu Muyun. Zhu Muyun asked him to open a whole number, but Felix didn't do it to death. A hundred dollars is almost two gold bars. For a businessman, don't say a hundred dollars, even if it's a dollar, you won't overpay.
