Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 27 Fifty Yen
The night passed.

What Lu Feng was worried about, the night-time attack on Xiaguangli by a large group of Green Gang gangsters did not happen.

It seems that those people outside are really just as Jinshan Xun said, they are simply spies arranged by other martial arts schools and gangs to follow.

In addition, when Lu Feng went out to buy breakfast in the morning, these people who were following him all greeted Lu Feng with a smile.

Lu Feng's nerves naturally relaxed a lot.

In the next two days, Lu Feng gradually got used to the existence of these people watching outside. He just practiced martial arts as usual every day and arranged for Jinshan to find their food and clothing.

Occasionally, Lu Feng would chat with Zheng Shusen and listen to him tell him the story of Brother Pang De, who was imprisoned in the death row of Hongqiaokou Prison.

My life was simple and fulfilling.

It's just that because there were too many people watching outside, Lu Feng couldn't get more familiar with the current environment in Shanghai.

Whether it is arranging an escape route or making big news or something, it is always important to understand the environment.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Feng can only postpone this matter a little bit.

During this period, the Ming family would also send some news over to inform them about the progress of Jinshan's martial arts school.

It's just that the Ming family is still not sure about the mediation with the Qing Gang, and they don't know what the situation is.

On this day, the person who came to Xiaguangli was none other than Lu Feng's former boss in the company: Manager Liu.

After Manager Liu came over, he first told Jinshan that the venue for the martial arts gym had been decided. It was near the racecourse in Puxi and was currently being renovated.

Miss Ming specifically asked Manager Liu to come over and ask Jinshan whether he had any specific requirements or opinions on the decoration of the martial arts hall, and whether there were any special equipment that needed to be purchased.

In this regard, Jinshan Zhao said that since it was all funded by the Ming family, it would be fine for the Ming family to decide on matters regarding the martial arts gym. The most important thing was to open the martial arts gym first.

As for the utensils, Jinshan Xuan expressed his hope to buy some real weapons and lay them out first, instead of the same wooden knives and wooden swords.

Manager Liu wrote down Jinshan's request, and after making sure there was nothing else to do, he quietly pulled Lu Feng aside.

"Xiao Ma, the goods you want will probably arrive in the next two days. They said they need you to pay a deposit first, do you think?"

The goods that Manager Liu was talking about were naturally the steel that Lu Feng asked him about before.A few days later, the goods have been loaded and shipped in Hong Kong and will arrive in Shanghai soon.

Lu Feng asked:

"Brother Liu, I wonder how many goods are shipped over there?"

Manager Liu held out three fingers.

"Three tons? I'm afraid I won't be able to use that much."

"Three tons? Are you dreaming? It's three hundred pounds."

"Only three hundred catties?"

"Only three hundred pounds? Xiaoma, that's steel, not cabbage. How much more do you want?"

After taking a breath, Manager Liu calmed down a little.

Being able to be the manager of Ming's Trading Company, Liu Jia naturally has connections, so he also knows the identity of Jinshan's White Tiger Killer.

He also knew that the pony accountant in front of him was likely to follow Jinshan to find a way to the sky.

So, Manager Liu slowed down his tone and explained to Lu Feng in a low voice:
"Xiao Ma, do you know how many tons of steel our Ming's Trading Company imports from outside every year?"

"About [-] to [-] tons."

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I'm an accountant."

"you"

Manager Liu choked for a moment, then exhaled and said helplessly:

"You're a good boy, that's enough!"

"Brother Liu, go on."

"Well, let's talk about steel. As you know, steel is a strategic reserve material. Every imported steel has a detailed usage registration.

Of course, everyone knows the temperament of the National Government, and there must be room for it.It's just that the chairman of the committee is strict about this thing. Generally speaking, at most [-]% of a batch of steel can leak out.

Of this [-]% amount, [-]% were decided early on by bosses and commanders across the country, and no one else could reach out.

In the end, this is the only steel that can really reach the market.For this amount of steel, you must first keep close contact with Jianghu gangs like the Qinggang. Ordinary people want to buy it, but they can't even find the connections.

If you hadn't greeted me early, I wouldn't have been able to keep these three hundred kilograms of steel, and it would have been bought by someone long ago.You have no idea how scarce this thing is on the market. "

"Brother Liu, I'm sorry. It's my younger brother who doesn't understand the rules. I want to apologize to you."

Lu Feng apologized to Manager Liu seriously.

"Okay, okay, don't blame those who don't know. Besides, depending on your ability, Xiao Ma, it will only be a matter of time before you reach the top. When the time comes, I have to count on you to take care of me."

"Brother Liu, you're welcome. I will always keep your kindness in mind."

"Your words are enough." "Brother Liu, how much do you want to pay as a deposit?"

"Usually we give [-]% first. You can take fifty yuan first."

"Fifty? Five cents per pound of steel?"

"What? Do you think it's expensive?"

"No, Brother Liu, please wait, I'm going to get the money now."

"Go."

Lu Feng said goodbye to Manager Liu and returned to his cabin.

The price given by Manager Liu is indeed a bit high. Judging from the accounts Lu Feng has handled, the current import price of steel is about 150 to 170 oceans per ton.

When it comes down to it, the purchase price for a pound of steel is not even a dime.

But as Manager Liu said, as a strategic reserve material, steel has always been in very short supply, especially since the Republic of China's own steel production was so low.

With the extreme imbalance between supply and demand, the price of steel on the black market has naturally skyrocketed.

in the hut.

Lu Feng looked at the opened suitcase and hesitated.

According to the price given by Manager Liu, buying these three hundred kilograms of steel would cost at least 150 yuan.

Lu Feng currently only has 110 yuan left.

Among them, more than 90 yuan was paid by Jinshan for food.

Although Lu Feng knew that even if he spent all the money, Jinshan would not say anything to them.

But Lu Feng didn't want to touch it.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Feng took out the few Japanese yen coins found on the Japanese.

In today's small country, the country has strong national strength, a very high status in the world, and the purchasing power of the Japanese yen is also very strong.

One yen is basically equal to an ocean.

The Japanese yen coins in Lu Feng's hand ranged in denominations from one yuan to 50 yuan.

It adds up to almost two hundred yuan.

Lu Feng has never used the money. After all, it always feels a little bad for a Chinese to go out and spend it with Japanese yen.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Feng took out the 50 yuan coin with the largest denomination.

Money is something that needs to be spent.

Soon, Lu Feng returned to Manager Liu and handed the coin to him.

"JPY?"

Manager Liu was a little surprised.

"What's wrong, Brother Liu? Can't you use Japanese yen?"

"Okay, let me tell you, in the black market, the Japanese yen is the same as the American knife. They are both hard currencies, stronger than legal currency and so on. I'm just a little strange, where did you get the Japanese yen?"

"Brother Liu, just leave it alone."

"Okay, we're not a nosy person, so I'll leave first."

"Well, goodbye Brother Liu."

"No delivery."

After bidding farewell to Manager Liu, Lu Feng continued his daily practice.

　　A few words from the book:
　　Yesterday, I was talking to a friend about educating children, and I told a story about myself.

　　When I first entered middle school, my grades were very good. Although it was only a small school in the county town, I still ranked first in my grade.

　　Then, my mother is a person who likes to play cards and like to travel around. At that time, she showed off her results and said in the streets that other people's children were not as good as mine.

　　The next step is very simple. If I do well in the exam, I will be beaten at school. If I do not do well in the exam, I will be beaten at home.

　　Tell the teacher, and the teacher will ask a classic question: Why don't people hit others, but only you?

　　I thought about this question for a long time, and it wasn’t until I grew up that I finally understood it.

　　I hope you don’t wait until you grow up, or your children grow up, to understand.
