Zhao Qingquan said: "General Li, Mr. Zhao has a suggestion. I wonder if General Li is willing to do it?"
Li Zhen said: "As long as we give you two hundred thousand taels of silver, everything will be easy."
Zhao Qingquan pondered for a moment and said: "The Dongwang family has a great business and a lot of money. It is not difficult to come up with two hundred thousand taels of silver, but it will not be heard well. So Dong Wang secretly took out two hundred thousand taels of silver, but he could only
You are told to redeem 10,000 soldiers for 50,000 taels of silver, can you agree?"
Li Zhen secretly said that Yang Xiuqing loves face, but he was very happy.
He works hard to get more money just to keep some of it for himself.
Zhao Qingquan took the initiative to speak out and gave him a chance.
Li Zhen snickered in his heart, but there was a look of hesitation on his face. After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "As long as you give me two hundred thousand taels of silver, Mr. Zhao and Dong Wang will decide how to operate it. I just need to accept it."
Money. However, when Li Zhen comes this time, he cannot come back empty-handed!"
"Pah! Pah!!"
Yang Xiuqing chuckled twice and clapped her hands repeatedly.
Suddenly, a guard walked into the hall carrying a plate with a stack of silver notes on it. Yang Xiuqing pointed to the silver notes in the plate and said with a smile: "General Yang, these are 150,000 taels of silver notes.
I will give it to you privately first. Next time we exchange soldiers, we will give another fifty thousand taels of silver."
Li Zhen accepted the banknote, held it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Dong Wang is very happy, I hope we can cooperate again next time."
The corner of Yang Xiuqing's mouth twitched slightly, secretly saying that she would never see him again.
Zhao Qingquan waved his hand and said: "General Li, the matter is settled, Zhao will send you away."
"Wait!"
Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "King Dong, my soldiers and I came to Nanjing at the risk of being killed. We have made such a hard journey, and all the money we got has to be handed over, and we won't get any cents. Your house
There is a lot of money, why don't you give me another tens of millions of taels of silver so that I and the soldiers under my command can make some money? We can't go on this trip in vain!"
Yang Xiuqing raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry.
He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Qingquan, give him six thousand taels of silver."
"yes!"
Zhao Qingquan glanced at Li Zhen and secretly said that Li Zhenyan had plucked his hair. He took Li Zhen out of the hall. Huang Shihai knew that the matter was done and left with Li Zhen.
Zhao Qingquan sent Li Zhen out of Nanjing and turned back.
Li Zhen led the people to leave, and after they were far away from Nanjing City, Huang Shihai asked: "Sir, you and Yang Xiuqing have discussed and finally decided how much money to exchange for 10,000 prisoners."
Li Zhen chuckled and said: "Yang Xiuqing promised to exchange 200,000 taels of silver for 10,000 prisoners, and also gave an additional 6,000 taels, for a total of 26,000 taels of silver. The amount I told Qi Shan was 100,000 taels. That's okay.
Cut off one hundred and six thousand taels. With this money, we can change the equipment for the soldiers of the Jian Dao Special Forces in the future. We will take step by step. The soldiers of the Jian Dao Battalion must not only have the best equipment, but also become the most elite force.
Troops and make the enemy frightened."
When Huang Shihai heard this, his heart was agitated.
Immediately, Huang Shihai showed a worried look and said in a deep voice: "Sir, if Qishan discovers that you have secretly withheld one hundred six thousand taels of silver, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"
Li Zhen told the story about Zhao Qingquan again and said with a smile: "Yang Xiuqing said fifty thousand taels of silver, and Qi Shan got another hundred thousand taels of silver. No one knew that I swallowed the money. In addition, Yang Xiuqing was blackmailed.
I have paid a large sum of money, but I feel bad and won’t mention it. Let’s go, hurry up and go to Yanziji.”
Huang Shihai stopped talking and followed Li Zhen closely with his guards.
In the afternoon, Li Zhen and his party came to Yanziji and found the hotel where Mas rested. When Li Zhen entered Mas' room, Mas immediately greeted him, gave Li Zhen a bear hug, and said with a smile: "God bless,
You're finally back. Li, didn't those crazy people in Nanjing make things difficult for you?"
Li Zhen shrugged and said, "Do you think I'm being made difficult for you?"
Mas smiled and immediately waved his hand for Li Zhen to take his seat.
Li Zhen came into the room and sat down, and said with a smile: "Brother Mas, let's talk about weapons now."
Mas looked surprised and felt a little thump in his heart.
Do you want to change the price?
Thinking of a misunderstanding about Li Zhen, Mas shook his head repeatedly, thinking that Li Zhen was honest and reliable and could not change the price. Mas took a deep breath and said: "Dear Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Li Zhen took out the 35,000 taels of silver notes that had been prepared from his arms, handed it to Mas, and said: "Mas, this is the 35,000 taels of silver notes. It is money to buy guns and ammunition.
Take inventory."
Mas took the banknote and was deeply moved.
He held on to the banknote tightly, fearing that it would fly away. After a moment of pause, Mas looked up at Li Zhen and asked: "Li, you gave me the money to buy the gun and ammunition, you are not afraid that I will take it."
Once the money is gone, won’t I give you the gun and ammunition?”
Li Zhen said: "Brother Mas, are you from the Beretta family?"
At the mention of the word 'Beretta', Mas straightened his chest, with a proud look on his face, and said loudly: "God allowed me to be born into the Beretta family. This is the pride of my life. I will use it as my pride."
I am proud of this and will fight endlessly for the Beretta family. My friend, my name is Mas Beretta."
A smile appeared on Li Zhen's lips and he said: "I believe that the Mas brothers will not ruin the reputation of the Beretta family and will abide by the qualities of an honest businessman, so I trust you."
In fact, Li Zhen knows the Beretta family.
A person who knows a lot about weapons, if he doesn’t even know about the Beretta family, then he definitely doesn’t understand the history of firearms manufacturing. The Italian Beretta family is one of the oldest weapons manufacturers, having been producing firearms since the 16th century.
It began to produce light weapons and manufacture firearms, which shows its long history.
Mas said with a serious look: "My friend, don't worry. As long as I still have breath, I will definitely transport a thousand guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the Jiangbei camp."
Li Zhen nodded and asked: "Brother Mas, after you sell your weapons, are you going to buy silk and tea?"
"God, Li, you are so smart, you already know what I am going to do."
Mas exclaimed, looking very surprised.
Li Zhenan said that most of the businessmen who come to China buy silk and tea, and then return to the country to sell them and make profits. Mas, a serious businessman of the Beretta family, is no exception.
Li Zhen said: "Brother Mas, if you go to buy tea, you are likely to be jacked up. If you don't mind, you won't buy tea and silk for the time being. I will ask the Imperial Envoy Qi Shan from Jiangbei Daying to help you buy it, etc.
You transport weapons and buy cheap silk and tea. In this way, you can buy more tea and silk, and you can make a lot of money when you return home. What do you think?"
Mas's eyes flashed with excitement and he said brightly: "Li, you are really an angel sent by God. I am really blessed by God to meet you."
As he spoke, Mas quickly made the sign of the cross on his chest.
Li Zhenxiao said: "Mas, we are good friends, and we should help our friends."
"Yes, yes, we are good friends."
Mas was dancing with excitement and said, "Li, wait a minute."
After finishing speaking, Mas stood up and walked towards the bed. He quickly took out a piece of clothing and fumbled in the pocket of the clothes. Immediately, Mas took out a gold pocket watch with a simple style from his pocket.
The watch cover has a hollow golden pattern, which is very exquisite and has an old color.
"Li, as a gift to witness our friendship, this pocket watch is given to you." Mas said.
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Brother Mas, I cannot accept such an expensive gift."
Mas looked serious and said: "Li, do you look down on me? Although I am temporarily depressed, I will definitely become the pillar of the Oberetta family in the future. This pocket watch was purchased by my great-grandfather from Switzerland and has been passed down to
I have it here. Now I give it to you as a testimony of our friendship."
Li Zhen no longer hesitated, took the pocket watch and put it in his arms.
Mas laughed and felt that he had made the wisest decision.
