Chapter 8, Complete Mission One
"Captain Li, you don't want to bargain, do you? If you bargain again, I'd rather not do this business."

Chen Hao has dealt with many buyers before, and it was the first time he saw such a poor bargainer.

He knew that the Eighth Route Army was poor and the war of resistance was not easy.

As a native of China, logically speaking, it is reasonable to donate all the arms to the Eighth Route Army.

But then it became a one-shot deal.

Don't look at the huge profits in the arms trade, that is to hang your head on your belt to do business, there is no tomorrow if there is today.

If you make money, you spend a lot of time drinking.

After working as an arms dealer for a year, Chen Hao really didn't have much money in his pocket.

This batch of arms was given to Li Yunlong for nothing, which means that there will be no next batch.

Donations should always be made within your means.

"It should be really hard to keep the price down."

Li Yunlong also had an estimate of the value of the guns reported by Chen Hao.

Once he heard from someone in the brigade's logistics office that a new Czech-style light machine gun could sell for [-] oceans.

Even second-hand goods can be sold for four to five hundred yuan.

One or two small yellow croakers can be exchanged for 35 yuan.

A second-hand Czech style can sell more than ten small yellow croakers, but Chen Hao sold fifty machine guns, only to sell less than one small yellow croaker.

Calculating the price of one Czech machine gun, it is enough to buy five hundred machine guns.

Li Yunlong doubted whether he could recover the cost.

But no matter how low the price was, Li Yunlong really couldn't afford it.

Xinyituan has no gold, and can't exchange more than 30 yuan for gold.

Unless you find a superior, the brigade commander will always be richer than them.But in that case, Li Yunlong would definitely not have the gun.

Li Yunlong was really reluctant and gritted his teeth: "Brother, I really have no money.

In this way, if there is anything valuable in the new batch, you can take it if you like it.

Sell ​​me the gun, I owe you a favor, if anything happens in this land, just come to me. "

He slapped his chest loudly, full of pride.Those who don't know think it is the head of the mountain.

It is really embarrassing for Li Yunlong to trade gold with him.

Chen Hao thought about it for a while and then nodded his agreement. There is no hard currency, so if you get some valuable antiques and bring them back and sell them, they may be worth more.

He doesn't know much about antiques.

Li Yunlong led Chen Hao to find the documents in the regiment.

Anyone who can understand the value of antiques must be at least a cultural person.

"Antiques, how can there be antiques in the village! Even if there are some old objects, those things are worthless. You can find them in the county town."

Also, the common people in the village are basically destitute, and the probability of owning antiques is very small.

Chen Hao was a little disappointed, but he quickly thought of another thing - the Japanese command knife.

There are many types of collections in the market. For example, antique guns are loved by enthusiasts who are willing to spend money to collect them.

Similarly, antique cold weapons are also a collection of small categories. Chen Hao once heard someone say that maybe they can sell some money if they go back.

"The little devil's command knife, there are, and there are many more!"

When Li Yunlong heard that those knives could be exchanged for guns, he led him to look for them without saying a word.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were not used to the narrow and slender Japanese knives, and they found it laborious even to chop meat. It was really not as good as the machetes they made themselves.

Based on the principle of not wasting waste, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army cleaned the battlefield and picked it up.

Now they are all piled up in the room, waiting for the logistics officer to select and register.

More than a dozen knives were piled together like scrap copper and rotten iron. Li Yunlong pointed at them: "This is it. There were more in the past. They were all handed over to the brigade headquarters and used as sabers for the cavalry."

Chen Hao said to Xiao Liu next to him, "Pick out the officer's knives above the second lieutenant level for me."

"Expert!" Li Yunlong said in surprise.

Chen Hao nodded. He not only learned Japanese, but also learned some Japanese culture by the way.

Squad leaders and sergeants above the ranks of the Japanese army who invaded China all had sabers.

The standard saber is mass-produced by the arsenal and is collectively referred to as the 95-style non-commissioned officer's knife.This kind of knife is mass-produced in the factory, and its performance is generally worthless.

The sabers of the Japanese army who invaded China above lieutenants are generally 94-style sabers and 98-style sabers. They are hand-forged by swordsmiths designated by the Japanese government, and the quality is much better.

Some officers thought that the hair was not good enough, so they quickly brought their ancestral knives with them.

Knives of this quality have collection value and are relatively valuable.

Xiao Liu quickly picked out three knives, all of which were similar in appearance, but with slightly different spikes.

Li Yunlong had the mind to test: "Can you tell the identity of the owners of these three knives?"

Chen Hao really knew it, picked up one of them, and introduced it to Li Yunlong: "Generally speaking, the Japanese commander's swords are all similar in shape, and Japanese swords are mainly distinguished by the color of the fringe.

The fringe of a lieutenant's knife is brownish blue, that of a assistant officer is brownish red, and that of a general is reddish yellow.The fringe of this knife is maroon, and the worst status is a major. "

The other two knives are brown and blue, and they are the lieutenant's knives.

Li Yunlong saw that Chen Hao was fiddling with satisfaction, and he knew it was done.

"Since you know it well, you should also know how rare the knives of senior Japanese officers are. How about it, are these three knives enough to change?"

Chen Hao pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's enough, the deal is done."

He is not good at estimating the value of knives, but he can tell that these three are good knives, and if he takes them home and sells them, he can make money back no matter how bad they are.

But he remembered that there were three assistant officers in Sakata's headquarters.What about the other two with knives?
"Captain Li, I wonder if you are interested in rocket launchers?"

"Isn't it, your iron pipe that shoots cannonballs out? I'm very interested! Tell me, what's the price?"

Three knives were exchanged for fifty machine guns and fifty thousand rounds of ammunition. Li Yunlong's appetite grew, and he even asked for the price of the cannon.

A shrewd businessman does business without haggling.

In the end, Chen Hao took away five command knives, including Sakata's.There are also military uniforms and accessories for Japanese officers.

Li Yunlong got fifty AKs, two rocket launchers and seven boxes of grenades.Matching bullets and rockets are extra gifts.

Both of them felt that they had taken advantage of it.

Li Yunlong felt that a bunch of decorations with no practical value were replaced by a batch of powerful arms.

Chen Hao pondered, taking these things back would not only bring him back the capital, but also make a lot of money.
