A grenade launcher with a wholesale price of 80 silver coins could triple in price after entering the black market. Such profit margins really shocked Yang Jie.
And when Yang Jie finished purchasing the raw materials and tried to make a grenade launcher by himself, he was speechless after calculating the cost.
A two-meter-long steel pipe with an inner diameter of 40mm only costs three silver coins - one can be used to make four gun bodies, and the combined steel bars and wood required for a launcher are less than half a silver coin.
The most expensive thing is just used as a firing device. The old shotgun purchased by Yang Jie only costs seven silver coins.
All put together, including the wasted materials, electricity bills, and solder, the production cost of a transmitter is less than ten silver coins.
The cost of the grenade itself is slightly higher. To make a grenade, you need: one bullet, one bearing steel, 10cm outer diameter 40mm steel pipe, some iron sheets, plus a small offensive grenade produced in Old Port.
The price of hand grenades is three for one silver coin. One silver coin can buy 12-gauge shotgun bullets for a box of 15 rounds. The price of bearing steel is slightly more expensive. One silver coin can buy two rings. Counting the steel, it adds up to one grenade. The cost is just over one silver coin.
Well, that's less than four times the profit.
Compared with the grenade launcher itself, the profit is still low.
But this thing is the real big deal. Unfortunately, Yang Jie can only eat the first wave. After someone imitates it, the profit will not be so high.
Old Port officially claims that the total number of registered Wasteland Walkers is around 7,500. Of course, this number must be inaccurate. After all, according to regulations, Wasteland Walkers will be counted dead if they fail to register in the city within one year after leaving the city. and cancel the account.
But it's still a huge market.
Assuming that all Wasteland Walkers follow the configuration of the Akainu team and purchase one launcher for every five people, the market can theoretically absorb a thousand launchers.
This is just the Wasteland Walker.
Would those small caravans who have no connections and want to buy heavy firepower want it? Would those other small settlements around Old Port City want it?
After calculating these and informing everyone of the final cost, everyone fell silent.
It’s not that it’s too little, it’s that I was shocked by the possible income.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Rock looked at the silver-white iron cylinder on the table and couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Definitely not."
Yang Jie shook his head.
"If we invest all our principal, we can get at least 100,000 silver coins."
Of course, stud is impossible to stud, and they always have to set aside some money just in case it doesn't.
Yang Jie only planned to spend a month or two making three to four hundred tubes, make a fortune and leave.
"By the way, what did Hall say?"
Yang Jie looked at Luo Ke and asked.
After he made the sample today, Rock took the somewhat crude launcher to the Bullet Bar and just came back.
"Forehead……"
When he mentioned this, the expression on Rock's face suddenly became a little weird.
"What are you talking about?"
Ivan asked with a frown.
"I kind of don't know what to say."
Rock replied:
"Hall neither agreed to help us nor said he wouldn't help us."
Luo Ke looked at Yang Jie and said:
"The old guy said he wanted to meet you."
"See me? Why?"
"How could I know..."
Rock replied, spreading his hands.
What does Hall want to do?
Yang Jie didn't think he would harm her, but why was he suddenly interested in her?
Yang Jie thought for a while and nodded.
"What did you and Hall say?"
"Just a brief talk about our experiences."
Rock replied:
"Nothing else."
"Then let's meet."
In any case, Hall is a very important part of Yang Jie's plan. It would be great if he could build a relationship through this.
Yang Jie felt there was nothing to hesitate about.
"when?"
Rock shrugged.
"He said the sooner the better, preferably tonight."
tonight?
Are you in such a hurry?
"good."
Yang Jie nodded.
"Then let's go after dinner."
After dinner, the two drove to the Bullet Bar.
"What do you two want?"
"Give him a glass of nuclear rum, I'll do whatever I want."
Rock ordered.
The bartender raised his eyebrows in surprise, but followed Rock's request and mixed the drinks and served them.
"He wants to see the cigars, take him there."
"this……"
When the bartender saw that Roque didn't even complete the process, his face turned a little dark.
"What are you dawdling about?"
Rock didn't care about the feelings of Hall's men at all. He waved his hand and urged the bartender:
"Take him there quickly."
The waiter ignored Luo Ke's urging and looked at Yang Jie.
"Come with me."
"Excuse me."
Yang Jie knew that the relationship between Rock and Hall was not good. To be honest, Rock had endured the trip before, so he left Rock alone without saying anything and followed the bartender to the back.
Following the bartender's instructions, Yang Jie walked into the wooden door and knocked on the third door.
"Please come in."
After a slightly hoarse voice sounded in the house, Yang Jie opened the door and walked into the house.
Hall pulled down his spectacles and raised his head to look at the visitor. When he saw it was Yang Jie, he smiled softly.
"coming?"
"Hello, Mr. Hall, excuse me."
Hall is very important to Yang Jie, and he is Rock's uncle. Yang Jie should respect him both emotionally and rationally.
"It's up to me to say this."
The old man smiled kindly and pointed to the stool opposite.
"sit."
After Yang Jie sat down, Hall took off his spectacles, sorted out the documents in his hands and put them aside.
"I heard Ryan mention you before, and Rock also praised you a lot. I finally met you today."
"Thank you."
After Yang Jie nodded slightly to express his gratitude, he hesitated for a moment and asked:
"You called me here for something?"
"Well, there are some things."
Hall nodded.
As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Jie, who was sitting upright, and suddenly smiled.
"Relax boy, you are Rock's companion, there is no need to be so polite with me."
He said, teasing Rock:
"That kid must have said a lot of bad things about me on weekdays, right?"
"Forehead……"
Yang Jie didn't know how to answer.
"It's okay, I know even if you don't tell me, that brat.
Hey! "
Hall said with a slight hey and shook his head.
Yang Jie also laughed when he mentioned Luo Ke.
"That's what he has. He has a sharp mouth."
"Yeah, tofu heart."
Hall said the next thing, and they both laughed.
When strangers chat about the same person they know, they can always quickly close the relationship. After a few brief chats, Yang Jie finally relaxed and started talking to Hall normally.
"I've heard everything about Ryan."
Hall said:
“You are very clever and can actually analyze things from those details.
Although he was a little impulsive, it was normal for young people. "
After saying this, Hold paused and then said:
"I heard Rock say, are you going to do something with some of them?"
