As soon as Zhou Wen heard this, he knew that Chen Yongbin was worried about gains and losses after running into obstacles everywhere. He was afraid that he would be disappointed again, which was why he acted so anxiously.
He didn't show off at the moment, nodded and said: "I have some connections, but I don't know if they suit Brother Chen's needs."
Chen Yongbin asked hurriedly: "What kind of goods is it?"
When Zhou Wen reported the model, factory location and caliber of the rifle, Chen Yongbin didn't even think about it and immediately replied: "No problem, as long as Brother Zhou can get the goods, I will take as much as I can, and the price will be That’s easy to say.”
Seeing that Chen Yongbin looked like a big benefactor, even the temptation and bargaining in business were avoided. It was just like you can make an offer, and I won't be short of money. Zhou Wen was also a little funny in his heart. It seems that the Chen family is really anxious now, and they are desperate to maintain their own army.
Of course, he won't open his mouth to the lion because of this. Slow water is the way to do business. Don't scare people with one bite, which will affect future cooperation. Moreover, Zhou Wen didn't care much about the current business worth tens of thousands of dollars. His main purpose was to find a new partner for Qichang Foreign Company.
In the end, Zhou Wen’s purchase price was $1, so he offered a rifle for $2. In fact, the price is not expensive. The import price of a brand new Mauser rifle on the market now is about US$4, but the problem is that what the Chen family wants is smuggled goods. Although most of them are semi-new second-hand rifles, the price of smuggled goods is higher than normal. The price is high, and the quote of $2 is really cheap.
This quotation moved Chen Yongbin for a while. Although he is a scholar, he is not an unreasonable person. He knows that at this time, even if Mr. Zhou offers a sky-high price, he can only accept it. Because his father and brother call almost every day to urge him, seeing that the matter is very urgent. .
But they paid according to the market price. It is obvious that the other party is a businessman with principles and worthy of continued cooperation in the future.
After Zhou Wen and Chen Yongbin discussed the details of payment and delivery in detail, they declined Chen Yongbin's banquet and said goodbye to Paul Pu.
On the way to send Paulo back to Du Mansion, Zhou Wen drove and said to Paulo: "Brother Paul, when is the sailing date to England?"
Paulo Pu: "In three days."
Zhou Wen: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver a thousand pounds in cash to you tomorrow. I wish Brother Paul a safe journey later."
Paul Pu: "Okay, I will definitely handle the tasks you entrusted to you. How can I contact you after the tasks are completed?"
Zhou Wen: "All you need is Mr. Du to send a telegram to the governor to make it happen."
Both of them were straightforward people. They settled the matter in just a few words, and the entrustment agreement was concluded.
As for whether Paulo Pu would take advantage of it and not do anything, Zhou Wen was not too worried. Mainly because this person was introduced by Mr. Situ, so he naturally knew something about his personality and temperament.
Moreover, Paulo Pu's father was an old acquaintance of Mr. Situ and Mr. Du, and the British Chinese gang also had some interactions with the United States and China. It was common for everyone to hang out and help each other. Even if Paulo wanted to jump over the wall, his father would arrange for someone to do it after he found out.
In other words, this Kong Linglin is dead.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wen felt very happy. After sending Pu Bao Paulo back to Du Mansion, he drove directly to the Lujiaqiao base.
Zhou Wen did not bring Zhang Xiaoping and his entourage with him today. The main reason was that his intention to kill Kong Linglin was purely a private matter. He did not want others to participate and there was no need to let others know. This is not a question of trust or distrust, but that assassination is not very honorable, not to mention that it involves the past of his lover, so he naturally does not want everyone to know.
Even if he gave Pu Paul a thousand pounds, he would not pay it out of the public account. Instead, Zhou Wen would use his own private money. You must know that Zhou Wen not only has control over the assets of the mercenary group, but he can also freely withdraw funds from his father's Fuyuan Company. For example, the funds he supports Comrade Laoqiao every year are the expenses of Fuyuan Company. This is also Zhou Wen's consideration for the future of Fuyuan Company.
At any rate, everyone in Fuyuan Company must wear a red-topped businessman's hat and strap, so that they won't be shot down by others on the charge of being an evil capitalist.
At this time, Lujiaqiao no longer looked like Xiao Zhuangzi.
The entire base is divided into several parts by walls. Except for the dock part, the base has only two entrances and exits. One is at the training ground and the other is at the entrance of the original village.
After Zhou Wen entered the base, he went directly to the training ground.
It was only around four o'clock in the afternoon, and gunfire kept coming from the direction of the shooting range. It seemed that the brothers were not slacking off.
When he came to the shooting range, Zhou Wen saw an unexpected person.
I saw a foreigner with a tall nose in the distance, wearing only a collarless cotton shirt in the cold weather, holding a Mauser rifle in his hand, shooting at a target 100 meters away, and little Henry standing next to him also Holding a rifle and gesturing.
This person is Cage Dennis, the military attache of the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai.
It should be said that this Dennis is now the protective umbrella of Tiger Defense Company, and the first business of the defense company, that is, the business of escorting Nikolay was introduced by this Dennis.
Dennis has a bit of the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of an American cowboy, and he is also a very good person. After the last competition with Zuo Mingqing, this Dennis would visit the defense company when he had nothing to do, or pay attention to the beauty Nina at the front desk. When he saw Zuo Mingqing, he pestered him to learn Chinese Kung Fu. Soon, he started to learn Chinese Kung Fu from many people in the defense company. Everyone is familiar.
Zhou Wen is naturally happy to see the results. Dennis is really harmless to the mercenary group now, but with him as a cover, many things have become easier.
So after the Lujiaqiao base was built, Zuo Mingqing and Henry Jr. invited Dennis to visit the base with Zhou Wen's consent. As a result, the guy fell in love with this place as soon as he came.
why?
I can shoot!
You must know that he is an authentic soldier, and it is inevitable that he likes to play with guns. And he didn't have many opportunities to shoot guns in the consulate. Now that he came to this base and knew the special treatment of being able to shoot weapons at the shooting range, he almost turned the Lujiaqiao base into his home.
Zhou Wen didn't come up to say hello. He was usually greeted by little Henry and Zuo Mingqing. Dennis still didn't know that Zhou Wen was actually the boss of this base.
Zhou Wen came to the training ground and saw Miaohua supervising Huang Dayou, Xiao Shui, Situ Hai, Situ Jiang and Lei Bao as they conducted obstacle climbing training.
Zhou Wen did not disturb them, but came to Miaohua and quietly observed the training of several people.
"Have you finished your work?" Miaohua asked.
