Seeing that Long Yun was silent, Wang Jiuling continued: "I think our equipment should be unified. If you have an arsenal, I will order all my preparations from you. You can also sell them to others, and you have your own arsenal. The military expenditure will be higher than
In the past, reducing it by one-third would achieve the desired effect.”
After a pause, Wang Jiuling raised his glass and said, "Brother Long, for the war of resistance!" I kept raising my glass in the air when I came in, waiting for Long Yun's response.
Perhaps Long Yun himself had figured it out. Instead of asking for this or that, it would be better to set up his own arsenal. At least he would not be controlled by others in the future, and others could not threaten him. Long Yun picked up the wine glass and said: "For the war of resistance!" After that,
After drinking it all, Wang Jiuling’s lobbying was successful.
"Brother Long, the two biggest warlords Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui's uncle and nephew got into a fight a few days ago. The two had always had a good relationship before, but now their relationship has broken down. Moreover, both of them are ambitious people, and they must decide the winner.
, if he wins, he will be the king of Sichuan, but Liu Wenhui's ambition is even greater. He wants to unify Sichuan, then unify the southwest, and then unify the whole country. He is the biggest threat to us. He just suffered another loss from Liu Xiang and lost a few dollars.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, short of money and food, if he knew that the recent best-selling records were sold in his territory, my company would probably be blackmailed and bankrupt, so can you station three to five thousand soldiers in my place?
On the other side, if anything happens, please support me."
Seeing Long Yun's hesitation, Wang Jiuling knew that although he had given Long Yun a lot of benefits, it was not enough to make him take the risk of fighting Liu Wenhui. Although Liu Wenhui had just been defeated, there were still 80,000 or 90,000 troops. If Long Yun fought with him,
It’s hard to say who the other Sichuan warlords will help. In fact, Wang Jiuling was also testing the waters just now. He can’t make the relationship with Long Yun too bad now. “Brother Long, Liu Wenhui has eighty or ninety thousand soldiers, but I only have one thousand.
So I plan to arm a division with personnel recruited in Yunnan and equipment. Could you please introduce me to a few arms dealers?"
Long Yun was thinking about the previous question, but it was really difficult to make a decision. Now he forgot to propose recruiting troops in Yunnan and buying arms. These two conditions are still acceptable. If these conditions are not acceptable, I am afraid he will have no friends.
Once you become that agent, you will definitely not be able to do it again. “This is no problem, I will arrange it tomorrow!”
Wang Jiuling finished dinner at Long Yun's house, chatted for a few words, and then went to the hotel. He had done everything he needed to do, and there was nothing to talk about in the ** area.
The next day, Long Yun introduced several arms dealers to Wang Jiuling, one from England, one from Germany, and the other from France.
Wang Jiuling was not polite and told the three foreigners directly that he needed 7,000 rifles, and the guns must be five-shot or more, 200 light machine guns, 100 heavy machine guns, and 30 80-caliber mortars.
They can quote for field guns. Wang Jiuling asked them to make a quotation based on the delivery time and the price and performance of the guns and ammunition. They would bring it over the next day and give a reply in two to three days.
Before the three foreigners left, Wang Jiuling emphasized that this cooperation was pleasant and that it would be a long-term cooperation in the future, so sincerity was very important.
The three foreigners sent the quotations on time the next day. After repeated comparisons, Wang Jiuling decided to buy weapons from France because it was not practical for Chinese people to do business, and the Germans thought that weapons were popular in China, and the prices were ridiculously high.
Wang Jiuling asked Xu Sanduo to meet with French arms dealer Rousseau
Wang Jiuling's previous words let Rousseau know that he already had the opportunity to get these orders. Although Yunnan is France's sphere of influence, since the outbreak of the economic crisis, the world has been in chaos, and although the sanctions against China's civil war by various countries around the world are still in progress,
Which country doesn't secretly support arms dealers in selling weapons to China? As long as it doesn't go too far, just get 150 or 155 artillery pieces.
However, even if Germany defeated Germany, its weapons are still the most popular. The other is the Japanese weapons. Although their quality is not very good, the price is often only half of that of other countries. Other countries, including France, cannot match this in quality and price.
The two countries are on par, so the sales of weapons are not very big.
As for Rousseau, he has not been in the arms business for a long time. He only came here last year. He has been unemployed at home since the economic crisis for almost a year. His military cousin is a military quartermaster in Indochina. Due to the economic crisis, benefits have been greatly reduced, so he needs some money.
With extra income to supplement his luxurious life, all the weapons distributed in Spell Indochina must pass through his hands, but he could not come out to resell the weapons himself. He did not have that spare time, so Rousseau was called in when he was unemployed, and the share was divided into Rousseau's.
Second, his relative eight, because he has to take risks and manage related personnel. Although the money Rousseau gets is still higher than those working in China, the small orders he takes are the ones worth dozens of dollars.
It's very annoying to have hundreds of customers, and you have to worry about whether these people will eat you, because most of these people are people of unknown origin.
This time he finally received a big order. If this order is completed, he will have an income of tens of thousands. Then he can go on vacation and show off to his friends in Paris. Therefore, Rousseau quoted the price this time.
It's very low. Anyway, small profits but quick turnover. Chinese people do business based on first impression. If the first impression is good, then Chinese people will preconceptionally think that this person is good. Of course, part of the reason is that Rousseau, a French guy, has a good character.
, I have only been in the industry for a short time, so my conscience will not be eaten by dogs.
"Please sit down, Mr. Rousseau." Wang Jiuling made a please gesture.
"Thank you!" Although Rousseau tried very hard to speak Chinese, the time was too short after all, so it was still very stiff.
"I took a look at the price you quoted last time. It was a bit high, but I think you are much more sincere than John Bull." Britain and France are the two most uncooperative countries in Europe. The British call France
The French call the British John Bull, and Wang Jiuling calls the British John Bull to elevate the French.
"No... General, if you compare my prices with those of those John Bulls and Munich dogs, you will know how favorable my prices are." Rousseau was still very confident in his quotation. In order to get this order
, he only had a slightly higher forehead than normal and it has been almost two years since he came here. He naturally knows the styles of those British and German guys.
"Okay! Let's not talk about this now. I still have a business for you. Do you want to do it or not?" Wang Jiuling asked a question.
"Your Majesty General, it depends on what kind of business, as long as it can make money, you can consider it?" Rousseau didn't even know what business he was talking about, so he had to say this perfunctorily.
"Of course it's a profitable business," Wang Jiuling gestured to Xu Sanduo to turn on the gramophone, and the song "The Spirit of the Chinese Army" that I came in came out.
Rousseau had also heard this song, and he also knew that this record was very popular in China and was being bought very quickly. He also planned to get some and sell them to the Chinese in French India, as he could make a fortune.
