Chapter 6 Buy a gun to defend yourself

A new luxury store has been opened near the Embassy District of Dongjiaominxiang, Peking. It is an incredible store, a store that is exclusive to women's socks, stockings, and stockings that are as thin as cicada feathers.

At first, no one knew what the store was doing. After a few days, everyone finally saw the true face of Mount Lu. Several kiln sisters invited from the Eight Great Hutongs were sitting quietly in front of the window wearing silk stockings as thin as cicada wings, which immediately attracted everyone to watch. Nowadays, women have not been liberated, nor have they been sexually liberated in Europe and the United States. Sitting in stockings exposed in front of the window was even more criticized as being depressed. Some people walked past the stockings dots, staring at the model sitting in front of the window, and cursing: "It's extremely vulgar, extremely vulgar!" But they were reluctant to leave, and even reluctant to look away.

The owner of the shop is Master Urasan from Beijing, and even asked those conservative old men to chase him to Uraji's house to scold him. Uraji was very wronged. This idea of ​​Xiusheng's money is to make money, but it was too harmful. He hurried to the eight great alleys to avoid the old man in his family scolding him.

Wang Maoru personally went to capture Uraji and asked him to present the stockings to the female family members of the embassy in Western countries, which received unanimous praise, and then business continued to flow. Because the territory was close to the embassy's family area in the eastern suburbs, many people came to buy it.

At this time, Yuan Shikai began to create oceans to replace Yingyang and Yinzi. Wang Maoru's pair of stockings cost 20 yuan, which is a luxury item this year. The living expenses of a family of five in Beijing only cost 120 yuan a year, and his pair of socks made people live for two months.

But according to Wang Maoru's business experience, those who make money should still start from the middle class and the wealthy class. The poor are not easy to make money and they make less money. For those European and American women in the embassy area, the charm of these stockings far exceeds the price barrier, and they are not short of money. A Russian lady bought a pair of white stockings at one time at a time, cut her skirt short the next day and posed at the dance party, which aroused the jealousy of other women. So Wang Maoru's business suddenly became popular. When he came, Wang Maoru thought that he had nothing to bring, so he gave a handful of Makarov self-defense, some perfumes, instant noodles, and all the rest were stockings.

He knew that money was not easy to make, but women's money was easy to make, so the rest of the car was stockings. One pair was bought for two or seven yuan, and a car full of 100,000 pairs of stockings. Here, a pair of twenty yuan was equivalent to modern times's fifty or sixty yuan, and one pair was 1,000 yuan, and a pair was 1,000 yuan. It was a huge profit. However, the purchasing power of Beijing was limited. No matter how many embassy areas there were, the market would be saturated in the end. After selling 10,000 pairs of stockings, Wang Maoru wholesales 10,000 pairs of stockings on other cabinets in Beijing, making 350,000 yuan in total and exchanged for 300,000 taels of silver.

While counting the money, the shopkeeper Urajiura scolded Wang Xiusheng for being very harmful. He collected 20,000 yuan from here and gave his father ten thousand oceans. How could he think of it? Old Beile threw the ocean away and said that he did not recognize his son.

Wang Maoru became familiar with Uraji. Seeing that he was under great pressure for his own affairs, he suggested that he go to Shanghai Mansion on Shili Yang Street in the south to buy stockings. After the two of them thought about it, they did it and took Yao Quaner and a servant named Wang Peng. The four of them took 20,000 pairs of stockings to Tianjin first, and then took a boat to Shanghai. For the first time, they came to the slightly more modern Shili Yang Street in Shanghai. Except for Wang Maoru, who had seen the world in later generations, the other three felt extremely prosperous. Foreigners in Shanghai also knew about the stockings in Beijing, which attracted the pursuit of foreigners and wealthy southern merchants who pursued fashion. Originally, they thought the price was 20 yuan, but the market was good, and they dealt with several foreign companies, making a lot of money for twenty-five yuan.

After a few months, Wang Maoru also went through the baptism of shopping malls and economy. Pu Ji and others were optimistic about the stockings market. When they heard that Europeans liked it very much, they encouraged Wang Maoru to go to Europe to sell it.

Wang Maoru thought about it and thought that this matter would be OK in the future, but now it is difficult to handle it, because Peking University is about to start school, and the revised "Rise of the Great Powers" by the Peking University Library is about to be released, so he had no choice but to return to Beijing. However, Wang Maoru decided that in a few days, he would go to France and the erotic capital of Europe.

After returning to Beijing, the worker Zang Pingliang came to visit and respectfully handed over a Japanese bank check of 5,000 yen. This was a big income. At this time, the yen was directly linked to gold and silver. In China, the yen was also the most strong currency of the US dollar since then, and the ratio of the yen to the silver dollar was generally around 1:1.5, which was quite stable. After taking the money, Wang Maoru had nearly 400,000 yuan in his hand, which was considered a wealthy man in the Republic of China. However, the chaos in Beijing at the beginning of the year scared all the wealthy man. Wang Maoru ran to the German Lihe Foreign Company branch in Beijing and bought twenty German Mauser pistols.

This Mauser pistol is commonly known as a semi-automatic pistol of the box cannon. This pistol has strong firepower, but its recoil makes the muzzle bullets after the bullet is fired, and the shooting accuracy is reduced. Therefore, after the muuser was produced in Germany, it was first equipped with troops, and the rigorous Germans later invented the Ruger pistol that is more suitable for the troops to use, which led to a serious backlog of coat-colored arsenals that produced a large number of Mauser pistols. Therefore, the Mauser company commissioned various foreign companies to sell them all over the world.

Not to mention that this Mauser pistol is widely praised in China. A Mauser pistol is more expensive than a Mauser rifle, 45 taels of silver per piece, but Mauser pistol is cheaper, and a thousand rounds of bullets is only six and a half taels of silver. Wang Maoru couldn't see the manager and only talked to one employee. Because of the commission, the employee was also enthusiastic. Wang Maoru ordered twenty 7.63mm Mauser shell guns, each with four magazines of one thousand particles of bullets, totaling 1,400 silver. This caused the manager to run out and snatch the business from the young staff. The young staff was so angry that they were very angry.

But the manager asked: "Does these twenty pistols have gun photos?"

"I still need gun photos?" Wang Maoru was shocked. Didn't he say that everyone could buy pistols during the Republic of China? Like the United States in later generations, how could he still need gun photos? Then should the bandits buy gun photos?

Seeing that he suspected, the manager explained that gun photos were not rampant in the Republic of China. For wealthy businessmen with huge assets, they could apply to the government and spend 60 taels of silver to buy a gun before they came to foreign companies to buy guns. Otherwise, they would be caught by the police by privately hiding the guns, either being sentenced to bandits or being sentenced to chaos. It can be said that this gun is easy to buy, but gun photos are hard to buy. The rampant guns in the Republic of China were later when the warlords fought and the gun photos were invalidated.

Wang Maoru suddenly realized and thought that he had to have his own industry to buy a gun. He was a Peking University scholar and didn't know if he could buy a gun. The manager said: "In Beijing, it is actually not difficult to buy a gun, mainly because there is a way. Most people spend 60 taels of silver on a gun, but I only need fifty taels of silver to find this person." Wang Maoru hurriedly asked who this person was so good. The manager said that this person was the brother-in-law of Jiang Chaozong, the current commander of the infantry yamen, and Liu Laishun, the younger brother of the third concubine. This person was in the infantry yamen and was responsible for issuing gun photos. Generally, he went to the infantry yamen to apply for gun photos. They thought they were ordinary wealthy businessmen and made every effort to do it immediately. Of course, in order to get some money for themselves, Liu Laishun also released gun photos privately, fifty taels.
