20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 263 Mauser’s gun, Krupp’s cannon

Yasifeng has been wandering in Yingkou for more than ten years. He has been living in a fly house for a while.

After leaving Demao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. and traveling on familiar roads, he led everyone to a butchered pig restaurant not far away.

It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a renovated private house. Pigs are slaughtered in the backyard and meat is sold in the front street. There are only a few tables in the house and not many dishes. The main thing is pickled cabbage and white meat.

Place a small stove on the table, set up a small shallow-bottomed Haikou pot, put sauerkraut on the bottom of the pot, put white meat and blood sausage on the floating head, turn on the low heat, and a layer of fine bubbles will pop up against the edge of the pot, then add the garlic sauce. After eating the food, go out and shoot him, and die without regrets.

However, the flavor of the soup is enough, but the white meat is almost boring.

There is little fat, but the meat is thick and chewy.

There is nothing we can do about it. If we want to blame it, we can only blame it on the fact that the supply of bristles is too tight nowadays, pigs are reluctant to be killed, and only old pigs are put into the pot.

The two parties chatted while eating, discussing the price of recycling pig bristles.

Yasipson was very confident in his bid and said bluntly: "Mr. Jiang, the market is about fair competition. You can ask the various foreign companies on the dock, whether it is the UK, the Netherlands or Belgium, I guarantee that Demao will The foreign company’s bid was the highest.”

Fang Yan then echoed: "Yes, in Yingkou, when it comes to the bristle business, we, Demao Yang Company, are the first. Mr. Yasipson has connections with all major German arms companies, so he has no worries about sales, so you don't have to worry about payment issues at all." "

Jiang Lianheng is not worried about the payment issue.

He knows what war is.

In the final analysis, the order behind this business comes from the top officials.

Money, of course, is not the problem, the question is what money.

"How do you pay for the pig hair?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

"It's bristle!"

Pig hair is also divided into grades, and the bristles on the back are naturally the top grade.

Although the rest of the miscellaneous hair also has uses, the price is much lower.

After Yasipson corrected him seriously again, he continued: "Normally, we will use the small foreign bills here to settle the bill."

Jiang Lianheng thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "Can you change the settlement method?"

In order to promote gold tickets outside the customs, the Japanese devils desperately squeezed the small foreign tickets in Feng Province. Although there has not yet been a large-scale panic, prices have begun to show signs of rising. Anyone with a sense of crisis is making preparations.

As a businessman, Yasipson certainly understands what this means.

"Mr. Jiang, if you are willing, we can also settle the payment in marks."

"Is it easy to use foreign settlement now?" Jiang Lianheng asked directly.

"Mr. Jiang, if your shipment volume is small, there is no problem in settling the bill in cash." Yasipson said, "But if it is like you said, and you can get so many bristles, settling in cash will be a bit awkward. It’s inconvenient and it’s not safe.”

"Hey! It's my business whether it's inconvenient or safe. Even if it's robbed halfway, it's not up to you. I'll find someone to solve it."

Yasipson did not reply immediately.

Although it was troublesome to exchange large amounts of cash, it was not a big problem for him. He just felt a little offended.

"Mr. Jiang is overly worried. We, Germany, will win this war."

Jiang Lianheng did not give in, and even looked a little aggressive, but said: "I wish you success, but I only care about gold and silver."

Jiang Lianheng did not have deep foresight.

To be honest, he didn't even know exactly where Germany was.

But he knows that if there is a war, there will be victory or defeat. If you just talk without practicing tricks, no matter how loud you brag, you may not be the next Beiyang Navy.

Once Germany was defeated, the Mark would be a piece of waste paper.

Gold in troubled times!

Zhou Yunfu once reminded him about this; Su Wenqi also said it at the church meeting; Hu Xiaoyan also asked her family to exchange foreign currency in batches.

Jiang Lianheng has naturally remembered it in his heart.

Moreover, bristle is a strategic material in short supply nowadays. If Europe goes to war, the Demao Bank will not buy it, but others will.

If you have the goods in hand, you have to wait for the price and sell them.

Having said that, Jiang Lianheng still hopes to cooperate with the Germans, just because his father once said to him, "Mauser's guns and Krupp's cannons, with these two, the war will be easy to fight."

Yasipson also knows that it is a seller's market right now, and the importance of bristles is higher than imagined.

A cannon brush may save a mountain cannon; a mountain cannon may change a battlefield; a battlefield may influence a war.

This is also the reason why Demao Yangxing looks a bit shabby - its main product, gun bristles, cannot be put on the shelves at all.

After hesitating for a moment, the German finally nodded.

"If Mr. Jiang insists, we can settle the payment in cash. However, if we all use cash, the payment may not be so timely."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Zhengnan interjected, "If it's difficult to exchange cash, don't you still have guns and ammunition? You can exchange them at equal prices!" Hearing this, Yasifeng turned his eyes to Jiang Lianheng.

Jiang Lianheng nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

Bandits outside the customs are no longer something that happens every day or two.

On the one hand, the folk customs are strong, but on the other hand, "breaking into the Guandong" itself is just a family business. Without anyone around, I always feel that my heart is in a hurry, and no one can stay out of it.

There are many mountains and bandits are rampant. In order to protect themselves, the landlords and gentry have hired insurance teams to resist. Both sides need guns and ammunition. The demand is not large, but it is not small. It is hard currency, which is a bit Exaggerated, but in short, it is definitely not worried about sales.

The fiercer the fight between the bandits and the landlords, the easier it will be to do this arms business.

Moreover, not to mention, the Jiang family is also related to the biggest military leader in Fengtian. Once Zhang Laoge wants to expand his army, there will be no worries about the sales of guns and guns.

Jiang Lianheng had his own wishful thinking, but IELTS Pusheng had his own difficulties.

"Mr. Jiang, I have said before that Europe is now expanding its armaments and preparing for war. Arms and weapons are given priority to their own countries. If you want guns and artillery, the latest ones may be a bit difficult, but if you don't mind those who have retired, or those who have been in the past few years, An old guy, I can get it for you."

"If you can make a sound, it's easy to use. If you can kill people, it's easy!"

Of course Jiang Lianheng didn't mind. Not to mention a businessman like him, even the previous court had bought old foreigners.

Even the guys eliminated by the foreigners can be transformed into advanced goods when they arrive here.

This is not about boosting other people's ambitions and destroying one's own prestige, but about practicing true knowledge, bullet by bullet, and hard-earned experience and lessons.

Rifles, mountain cannons, and heavy machine guns can be exchanged for supplies, and both sides will not lose.

Yasipson had been involved in the smuggling business in his early years. Later, through Zhuzhi, he met senior executives of domestic companies such as Mauser and Krupp. He was an arms salesman. He didn't sell clothes or socks, so he had no connections.

For this mixed settlement method, both parties hit it off.

But Yasipson said: "Okay! I have the gun; I also have the foreign currency; but what about you? Why should I believe that you can give me a steady supply of supplies?"

Jiang Lianheng replied: "Mr. Ya, I have already told you that you can send someone to Fengtian to inquire about me."

Yasifeng suddenly got stuck, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "There is an old saying - hearing is false, seeing is believing."

Jiang Lianheng smiled and said: "I understand. In this way, you give me a month, and I will order a batch of pig hair for you first - ah, pig bristles - you can take a look at the quantity and quality, and then decide What do you think, do you want to cooperate with me or not?"

"Okay! Let's make this bowl of pickled cabbage soup. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Come on, come on!"

As we chatted, the topic unconsciously turned to dialect.

Jiang Lianheng originally thought that this kid had studied abroad, but after chatting with him, he found out that this kid never went to school at all; he had only been hanging around the docks since he was a child.

As time goes by, I can speak a few words about each country, such as a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. There is no specific learning method, just relying on rote memorization, which is more authentic than those students studying abroad.

Later, Fang Yan was attracted by Yasipong, and he was initially asked to serve tea and water and do some chores.

This kid is also very good at understanding the sense of propriety in communicating with others. Gradually, as he grows older, he no longer does those chores, but slowly grows into IELTS's right-hand man.

This experience reminded Jiang Lianheng of poet Zhang Da.

There is no harm in having a skill.

Everyone clinked cups and plates, ate and drank, and chatted for a while. Until the fire at the bottom of the pot was extinguished and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, they gave up and stood up, discussing how to take Zhao Guoyan out of Demao Foreign Trade Co. as soon as possible.

Jiang Lianheng expressed his gratitude and naturally insisted on going to pay. He originally thought that he would be able to tear his tongue apart, but he didn't expect that this foreign devil did not follow the routine. As soon as he heard that someone was paying the bill, he immediately stayed on the chair and waited. Standing motionless.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Jiang Lianheng had no choice but to walk to the cabinet alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his elbow rested on the counter, before he could shout, a figure suddenly appeared from the side.

I saw that the person who came was dressed in gray cloth, rags, and various patches. He wore a tattered straw hat on his head. The brim of the hat was pressed down, blocking most of his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Jiang Lianheng's heart trembled, and he reached out to touch his arms.

Unexpectedly, the visitor didn't seem to have any malicious intent. He walked quietly to the counter. He looked around the small shop first, and when he saw no one was around, he lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Master Jiang, Xiao Laoer agrees to the deal."

Jiang Lianheng's eyes widened, but he asked: "What?"

The visitor turned a deaf ear and continued in a low voice: "Two days later, at twelve o'clock at noon, someone will meet you at Deshun Shabu Shabu Restaurant at Jiushijie Pier."

After saying that, the visitor passed by Jiang Lianheng without changing his expression.

After walking out of the store, in the blink of an eye, I was blended into the bustling crowds of people, leaving only the sounds of vendors shouting and selling on the street...
