Chapter 106 Give it a try!
"But if you do the weapons business over there, you will make a small fuss. Those chiefs probably won't be able to get many orders!" Li Lin touched his chin and thought.
Of course, for his company, such small orders are also good, and they can be accumulated slowly, but the company will develop slowly, right?
In fact, the cost of his weapons company is not very high at present, mainly because the equipment is ready-made, and the operating cost is just raw materials and workers' wages, etc.
Li Lin even asked the other side to control production and not hire so many workers. After all, he has not received orders yet, so there is no need to hire too many workers and invest a lot of mass production.
After thinking about it, Li Lin still focused on the two clients of Deguo and Eguo!
First of all, it is the end of the 19th century, and the friction between major forces in Europe has gradually increased.
Especially the various collisions on the colony.
So at present, Deguo and Eguo are quite enthusiastic about the procurement of weapons.
Let’s talk about the country first.
In 1888, Maxim brought his machine gun to Deguo for display activities. The display was very successful, but he did not receive any orders from Deguo!
But unfortunately, during a visit, a British prince invited Emperor II to watch the Maxim machine gun shooting performance. Emperor De said he had never seen it. So he invited Emperor De to visit Spandau, not far from Berlin.
What the Prince of England did not expect was that soon, the Maxim machine gun he highly recommended to the Emperor would send countless British youths to hell!
This historical secret was seen by Li Lin accidentally shot a funny video about [The Past and Present Life of the Maxim Machine Gun] in his previous life.
At the same time, the short video also introduced that Eiguo also purchased this machine gun.
The video explains that this is mainly because the size of the E Kingdom's army was the largest in Europe at that time, and the E Kingdom was not hesitant to spend money on the army. In 1895, Zhaharofu made the E Kingdom interested in the Maxim machine gun, who personally issued an imperial order to announce that the 1895 Maxim machine gun was officially equipped with the Goose Army.
At this moment, Li Lin felt that he could try it even if he was fucked!
Anyway, it’s nothing to try. If you fail, then you will be honest with Feizhou’s small orders.
If he can get their orders from this Deguo and Eguo, it will definitely be a very good start for him!
"Where to go to the side to promote it first?" Li Lin began to think again.
In the end, he planned to go to Eguo to sell it first!
At this time, his storage space contained 20 mortars, 50 Colt pistols, and some various ammunition. These were all brought back when he returned from Singapore last time.
"I don't have a Browning M2HB heavy machine gun. It seems that I can just transport them to a certain port. I can just take it and go directly to Go to the country of E." Li Lin had a plan in his mind.
The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun is much more advanced than the Maxim heavy machine gun. He believes that once customers can watch it in person, it will definitely attract their interest!
"Before I can't get over, I still need to inquire about the information there before I can talk about it!" Li Lin believed that if he wanted to sell, he would definitely sell it to the Goose Emperor in person, so that he would have a chance.
However, he is just a small company boss who has no name, how can he meet the Goose Emperor?
So, he needs someone to let him see the Goose King!
"Send a group of members to visit E Kingdom first to find out the news. It's not too late for me to go there after I have a look."
During this period, Li Lin recruited a group of "knowledgeable" core members, about dozens of people.
They are all Chinese students who come to study in the UK, both men and women.
Send six international students and send another 20 people to protect them.
He asked Li Er to do this matter directly.
"Well, I have to send someone to the front station in the country." Li Lin said in his heart.
Even, he planned that all his sales teams must be white. After all, most of his current subordinates are not business-related and cannot understand many languages.
...
Far from the United States.
Ogden Town, Utah.
Jonathan Gun Shop.
"Does John Moses Browning work here?" Sun Feng said with a smile. Behind him, there are 10 core members of the Qinglong Gate, each of whom is tall and big, giving people a look of being unmatched.
Yes, Sun Feng was originally studying in London, but later joined Qinglongmen. A few months ago, Li Lin sent him to the US imperial examination to find someone.
"What are you?" Jonathan looked at the group of oriental people in front of him, and suddenly became a little alert.
"Sir, we are from the Lee Weapons Company. This time we came here to find John Moses Browning. We want him to become the chief designer of light weapons in our company!" Sun Feng said.
"What?" Jonathan was stunned.
When did your son become so famous?
Can a weapon company come to hire it in person?
Also the chief designer of light weapons!
"Son, someone is looking for you."
Soon, 37-year-old Browning came out.
Now Browning has not yet opened the "Browning Gun Manufacturing Factory" with his brother. At present, he is just helping with his father's gun shop, and at the same time he works part-time to design some weapons for some weapon companies.
Not very famous yet!
In 1897, Browning used the energy of gas in the gun chamber during firing as the energy source for automatic loading to design an automatic smoothbore gun. Browning and his brother jointly opened the "Browning Gun Manufacturing Factory".
In 1900, Browning designed the first automatic pistol M1900.
So, he only became famous in 1897.
"Who is looking for me?" Browning asked after walking out.
"Mr. Browning, we are from the Li Weapons Weapons Company in Singapore. We want to hire you to become the chief designer of light weapons in our company!" Sun Feng recounted again.
"Li's Weapons Company? I haven't heard of it!" A hint of contempt appeared in Browning's eyes.
A weapon company run by an oriental?
In 1883, he designed works with Winchester, the largest gun supplier in the United States at that time, and was also bought by the other party. So Browning still had a certain degree of arrogance.
Ordinary small arms companies are simply not attracted by his eyes!
"It's normal that you haven't heard of our company for a while. We've heard that you are a genius, so are you interested in working in our company?" Sun Feng said.
"No interest~" Browning suddenly lost interest when he heard that he was leaving his hometown in Singapore. Besides, he didn't want to go to a small company at all!
"Mr. Browning, don't be too busy refusing. Why do I show you a product from our company? How about you give me a review?" Sun Feng said.
