Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 487 Hoarding Weapons
After inspecting the woodwork factory, Chu Xiangqian took Feifei back to the film company, called a few executives and Zhang Rongfei, went outside, and sat in the office on the top floor, chatting about the company while having lunch.

In addition to the accounts of the film company, the most important thing is naturally the film.

Chu Xiangqian directly rejected several scripts for co-productions starring Guo Zhenhua and co-productions with Universal.

It's not that he doesn't want to make money from Americans, but Chu Xiangqian knows very well that if he comes to cooperate at this time, he will never be able to take the initiative.

In the previous life, when Jiahe already had a presence in Southeast Asia and was on the verge of dominating the world, Uncle Long went to Hollywood to seek cooperation.

Even a third-rate director can manipulate him at will, let alone the top eight in Hollywood.

Moreover, Golden Harvest invested US$6 million in "The Trench", but it still couldn't get control of the film.

In the end, Uncle Long almost ruined his acting career.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not go looking for Universal to co-produce at this time, at least he would have to wait until the box office results of "Roman Holiday" and "Millie" were released.

As for these two movies, apart from behind the scenes, the screen is full of European and American white men. If Guo Zhenhua was to star, the negotiation alone might take three to five months.

I learned that Chu Xiangqian is waiting for the release of two movies that are already in preparation or have started shooting, and then decide whether to let Hong Kong people enter Hollywood to star in the movie depending on the situation.

Several senior executives of the company could only hold their nerves and pray that the movies their boss would serve as a producer and invest in and take control of would be a box office hit.

At 1:[-] in the afternoon, I sent Feifei to report to the agency. When this girl heard that her man would take Hong Kong students and his wife back to the capital tomorrow, she couldn't help but mutter that Chu Qianqian was partial.

Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to leave Feifei alone on Hong Kong Island this time, but took Hong Kong Sheng and Ai Yuan back to the capital first, and then went to Los Angeles together. It was indeed unfair.

He could only comfort Feifei by hugging her and saying that when he was free, he would travel abroad alone with her.

In the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian ran to Linda and Alyssa, and then he really vented the anger accumulated in the past ten days.

But this is hard for Linda and Alyssa.

As a result, the two girls had no intention of staying with Chu Qianqian for the night.

This also allowed Chu Xiangqian to return to the mountaintop villa before 6 o'clock.

But to be honest, Chu Xiangqian really didn't think it was good to live on the top of the mountain. Not only did he waste more time in the car every day, but he also lacked the atmosphere of fireworks.

Of course, living on the top of the mountain is indeed quiet enough, and the pressure from security will be much less.

With tits and two hunting dogs, most situations within a radius of several hundred meters can be monitored.

When they got home, they saw four dishes and one soup already prepared on the dining table, but Lan Lan and Hong Kong Sheng were all focused on sorting out the gifts they bought today.

Seeing Chu Qianqian coming home, the two of them quickly put down their things and stood up to greet him. One helped him take off his suit, and the other knelt down to change his slippers.

Then they followed him to the restaurant, surrounded by people from left to right.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Chu Qianqian looked at his watch and said to Lan Lan and Hong Kong Sheng, who were still discussing how to distribute the gifts they bought today.

"I have something to do tonight. I won't be back until one or two o'clock. You two should go to bed early."

Xue Jinglan wanted to ask something else, but Hong Kong student sitting next to her quietly held her hand and shook her head slightly.

After Chu Qianqian drove away by himself, Hong Kong Sheng explained, "Sister Lanlan, senior brother has also gone out to do errands at night before.

I heard from Sister Feifei that many businesses in Hong Kong Island are monopolized by Ying Guoguo. If you want to do those businesses, you have to come secretly.

However, the more forbidden it is, the higher the profit will be.

Moreover, senior brother never touches things like flour, so Sister Feifei never cares about what he does. "

Xue Jinglan thought for a while, nodded silently, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that her man liked Feifei so much.

In my heart, I value Hong Kong students even more.

In order to avoid being attracted by that woman Feifei, the two of them deal with themselves, the first wife, together.

After Chu Qianqian drove away from home alone, he went directly to the yacht club, drove the yacht east, and then headed north into Dapeng Bay.

At around 12 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the small island where food is stored every month. The tits flew around a few times to make sure no one was watching. Then Chu Xiangqian jumped into the sea and swam to the island.

After getting ashore, Chu Xiangqian went directly to the open space in the woods on the island and saw three piles of boxes wrapped in tarps.

When the tarpaulin was lifted, there were all green arms boxes inside. Needless to say, they must be the 10 Galands and [-] rounds of ammunition that were agreed upon with the superiors before.

500把M1911，5万发子弹。10挺M2重机枪，100根枪管，10万发子弹。

50 Browning medium machine guns, 100 barrels, and 10 rounds of ammunition.

After unpacking a few boxes and checking to make sure there were no problems, Chu Xiangqian directly took all the boxes into the Novice Village.

I silently calculated in my mind that all these weapons and ammunition were eliminated from World War II.

But in the international arms market, just a Garand rifle costs at least thirty to fifty dollars.

If you encounter a force that is in urgent need of weapons, one or two hundred dollars is no problem.

Moreover, in the late 50s, the factory price of a Garand rifle was $31.

As for the heavy machine gun, the original purchase price is not expensive, but in the arms market, this thing is a big killer.

Selling for a few hundred dollars apiece, you can really sell as many as you want.

With luck, there will be people asking for a few thousand dollars.

Adding in 4 types of guns, including the same model of Garand and Browning medium machine guns, and 35 rounds of ammunition for the three models, Chu Xiangqian just used normal arms prices, and this batch of arms cost at least 20. Dollar.

But if you get it from Africa or South America, it won't be difficult to double it directly.

If the buyer uses rough diamonds and gemstones as payment for the goods, he can earn another [-]% or [-]%.

However, what Chu Xiangqian was looking for was not the price difference of arms.

After having a rough estimate, Chu Xiangqian did not hesitate anymore and took out 500 tons of corn kernels and 75 tons of breadfruit from Xinshou Village.

4.5 kilograms of shark meat, 1350 hares, 1350 pheasants and 100 processed wild boars that have been stored for three months.

In order to keep so much meat fresh, thousands of kilograms of sea salt were consumed.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was not short of salt, otherwise it would not be so simple to ensure that the meat would not go bad.

Wrapping all the food and meat with tarps, Chu Xiangqian swam back to the yacht happily.

While sailing back, I secretly said that with this batch of food, it should be enough for the tens of thousands of troops in the south who have been using the food provided by themselves for two or three months.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also decided to change it from once a month to once every two or three months in the future, so that he would not have to worry about it in the United States or England.

Or the troops in the south may be short of food if they don't wait until they can trade food on time.

Back at the marina, it was already past 2 o'clock in the evening.

Chu Qianqian thought for a moment, then simply found a public phone and called Qian Guotai at the top of his lungs.

When Qian Guotai heard that three times the amount of goods had arrived at the port, he immediately guessed that it was Chu Xiangqian.

Moreover, he had contacted Chu Xiangqian on the phone a lot. Even if Chu Xiangqian pinched his throat, Qian Guotai could still hear it.

By the time Xue Jianrong, who had returned to Donglongzhou Island, received the news, it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning.

But he immediately informed the company below and drove two 2-ton fishing boats to the island quickly.

Unexpectedly, after landing on the island, I found that the goods this time were far more than expected.As a last resort, we could only move one third of them away first, and wait until nightfall to move the rest to the island.

And in order to avoid trouble, only one squad of soldiers was left to guard the island.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After two trips back and forth the next night, everything was finally transported away.

575 tons of grain and [-] to [-] tons of meat also made the troops smile.

Just hearing that this time it was for three months, several old men in military uniforms immediately quit.

"It's not like we want it in vain. Our friends who are exchanging supplies with us can definitely order more of the old weapons that have been eliminated. Moreover, the weapons and ammunition we sent this time are much more valuable than the food and meat this time.

This matter needs to be mentioned with the superiors. "

Chu Xiangqian calculated the price after discount, and the old men calculated the price at which the Guo Party purchased American weapons.

The difference is indeed huge.

Firearms are not too expensive, but when bullets are shipped to the East, under the circumstances back then, it is normal for the price to increase several times or more than ten times.

Chu Xiangqian ignored Qian Guotai's complaints and was still thinking that the medicinal materials used for trading before were backlogged in half of the warehouse. He originally wanted to sell them to local pharmacies on Hong Kong Island, but they already had their own supply.

Even if they don't make money by selling, some pharmacies still have serious concerns.

Chu Xiangqian understood after a moment's thought that he had established a stable supply relationship with partners from the Mainland or Southeast Asia after years of cooperation.

If you are looking for a small advantage, take less goods from sellers, or even stop buying goods for two or three months.

If Chu Xiangqian suddenly runs out of medicinal materials, there will definitely be a lot of trouble waiting for the pharmacies on Hong Kong Island if they want to buy from previous collaborators.

Of course, not many people have such a long-term vision, but even if Hong Kong Island has a population of nearly 3 million, the amount of Chinese medicinal materials consumed every year is far less than the amount of medicinal materials that the mainland deducts to itself.

Chu Xiangqian could collect most of the backlog of medicinal materials into Novice Village.

However, the mainland produces a large amount of medicinal materials every year, and with such a shortage of food, after the mainland collects a large amount of medicinal materials, the local government will 100% increase the cultivation of medicinal materials in the next one or two years.

It is conceivable that in the next few years, the prices of some medicinal materials are likely to fall, and not just in an ordinary way.

You can't always keep a large amount of medicinal materials. When you want to sell them, the price of the medicinal materials will be further reduced.

So Chu Xiangqian really didn't want to collect a large amount of medicinal materials provided by the mainland.

Even if we continue to exchange grain for medicinal materials, we must maintain a normal supply and demand relationship.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian had no objection at all if he could take away the market share of Southeast Asian medicinal material suppliers.

Moreover, the food shortage has only lasted for a year or two. Chu Xiangqian himself is also a little tired of having to go to Dongpeng Bay to secretly store food every month.

So Qian Guotai called himself and asked if he could continue to trade once a month, and the number tripled.

Chu Xiangqian said, "Most of the medicinal materials that cannot be exchanged are accumulated in the warehouse and eat dust, or even rot in the warehouse." Qian Guotai was immediately speechless.

When Chu Xiangqian returned to the capital with Lan Lan and Hong Kong Sheng, Xue Jianguo, who picked him up, greeted his sister and Hong Kong Sheng.

While he and Chu Xiangqian were putting their luggage in the trunk of the car, they pulled him and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Tang asked me to ask you if you are interested in buying a batch of 40 fire."

天朝40火分‘新旧’56年的是仿制的RPG2，69年的是仿制的RPG7。

The calibers are all 40 mm, but the power is quite different.The biggest difference is the improvement of ammunition.

Chu Qianqian frowned and thought for a while, and soon realized that perhaps China had made great progress in the development of RPG7, so he planned to clear out the old 40 Huo which was already weak.

"how much is it?"

Xue Jianguo chuckled, "A thousand guns, a 10-gun set with 40 rounds of ammunition costs a thousand dollars."

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Believe it or not, I can buy one from someone in Eastern Europe for at most three to five hundred dollars.

If you go to the black uncle in Africa, you can get second-hand aid goods for one or two hundred dollars. "

Xue Jianguo's head was instantly confused. It was indeed possible to buy some light weapons from the red countries in Eastern Europe.

But the African black uncle sold the aided weapons to arms dealers, which was completely unacceptable to Xue Jianguo.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that this kind of thing would still be unavoidable decades later, let alone now, and Wu Kelan would have to sell it openly.

Even individual shoulder-mounted missiles appear in the hands of polar bears and desert forces in just one week after entering Ukraine.

After Chu Xiangqian took Lan Lan and Hong Kong Sheng to visit the master and his wife, he returned to his father-in-law's house and presented gifts to please the old lady, mother-in-law and father-in-law, and then had dinner.

Xue Jianguo took him out to smoke again, and then whispered, "Tang Lao said, 500 US dollars with 10 rounds of ammunition. And if you want it, let alone 1, [-] will be sold to you."

And if you want ammunition in the future, it will cost you $100 a round. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes again. With Tianchao's anxiety about firepower, Chu Xiangqian didn't know how much the old 40 fires had produced.

There are at least one million New 40 guns, and the ammunition reserve may exceed hundreds of millions of rounds.

Therefore, the old 40 fires are not preserved and now there are 10,000+ and hundreds of thousands of them.

With someone helping to clear the warehouse and making a profit, the Celestial Dynasty must be eager to sell the reserves bit by bit in exchange for money while producing new 40 fires.

For a round of ammunition worth US$100, China can earn at least two-thirds.

No, it's even possible to make a quarter of a fifth of the net profit.

But if Chu Xiangqian thought about it seriously, while he was making money, it was not impossible for China to make some as well.

Moreover, it was only the end of the 60s, and the RPG2 was still considered a very advanced recoilless rifle in the world.

At least there are people in Africa and South America who are willing to buy.

Africa Chu Qianqian will not go forward. Not only is it in chaos, it also has little oil and water.

But South America can definitely absorb tens of thousands of weapons and hundreds of thousands of rockets.

But then I thought about it, and I really didn't plan to make money from arms. There was really no need to sell thousands or thousands of them to South America.

Moreover, profits of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars are too little for me.

There is no need to get noticed by Zhongqing Bureau just for this little money.

Then continue to investigate, and it is best if you can really find out if you are not sure.

And to be honest, if I want 40mm ammunition, I value 40mm ammunition more.

Let the tit fly into the air and throw it down, which is a fixed-point blast.

It's definitely five or six times more powerful than a grenade.

A few rounds could blow up a villa.

Shaking his head at Xue Jianguo, "I just want 1."

Xue Jianguo smacked his lips, secretly thinking it was a pity.

However, if one thousand pieces can be sold, Chu Xiangqian might buy it again in the future.
