Chapter 10 Arms Trading
"Oh my god, dear Sen, you finally remember your old friend!" As soon as he found Mondes, Dunson was stunned by the guy's exaggerated expression. He recalled it himself. It seemed that he had just invited him to a meal on the boat and bought him tens of thousands of weapons. Why did this man seem so enthusiastic?
"Mr. Mondes, long time no see," Dunson hugged him, and then said politely.
"Yes Sen, you don't know that I have been waiting for you for the past two months. I thought you wouldn't come!" It turned out that Dengson bought firearms and German military uniforms from him a few months ago. Later, Mondes talked to another arms dealer and learned about China's current situation. Then he asked about four hundred Mauser Nine Five to gain a foothold in China's county-level forces. The answer that man gave him was that if the county-level warlord rulers had four hundred Mauser and sufficient ammunition, he could sweep the surrounding forces.
Mondes, who thought Dunson would expand his power, purchased a lot of weapons and equipment, and they were all the latest styles, including a 57mm Gruson mountain crossing cannon, which was a retired small cannon by the US troops, and was purchased at a low price, plus nearly a thousand shells.
"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me to do? Mondes doesn't think I can buy a large amount of arms, right?" Dunson thought for a while, and understood why Mondes was so happy to see him. He also estimated that Mondes had a lot of arms in his hands and was eager to find a buyer, so he laughed in his heart, but he didn't say he wanted to eat it.
"No, no, dear Sen, I thought you would expand the army, so I prepared for you in advance. Most of my funds are used on this. You must know that I am just a bankrupt factory owner in the United States. I can't let all the funds be crushed to death on this!" Mondes pretended to be sad. In fact, the last time Dengson was affected by his surface and bought his arms without asking about the price. He said that the Type 95 Mauser rifle was only 20 yuan, but Dengson used thirty yuan to buy it. It's a pity that Dengson is no longer the former Dengson. It's impossible for the business world to buy it without asking about the price for so many years.
"Dear Mondes, you must know that although the place I ruled is vast, it is very poor. I cannot afford to buy your arms for the time being. Of course, if you are willing to sell it at a low price, I will take it even if I borrow it!" Dengson pretended to cry and cried, obviously trying to reduce the price.
"Oh, my goodness! Can China make a person change so much?" Mondes cried out in his heart! Unexpectedly, after only a few months, his dear Sen, who was originally upright, kind and pure, was about to become a profiteer!
"Dear Sen, you are my only friend in China. The price is of course easy to negotiate, but don't you want to know what I prepared for you?" Mondes felt that Dunson might not know what his arms were, so he wanted to lower the price. As long as he knew what he prepared for him, he would never do that.
"Oh, then come and listen." Dengson was very interested in arms, and he must be here to buy arms now.
"I have the improved version of the Mauser rifle in Type 95. The shooting speed is faster and the loading number is two more rounds higher than before. There are three heavy machine guns, the latest water-cooled type, and a mountain cannon. You must know that artillery is difficult to get!" Mondes listed his weapon list one by one.
"My God! All the artillery has been created! I'm afraid there are not many small warlords with artillery! Although it's just mountain cannons!" Deng Sen was very surprised, and at the same time he was drooling about mountain cannons. He was determined to win heavy machine guns, but he was not ready to compromise!
"Dear Mondes, tell me about your price!" Dunson's performance was very plain, making Mondes unable to see what he was thinking for a moment.
"Dear Sen, the price of friendship is thirty yuan per rifle, 3,000 yuan per heavy machine gun, 8,000 yuan a mountain cannon, 50 yuan a shell." Mondes thought for a long time and suppressed his price, for fear that Dengson would not want to buy it.
"Oh my God! Mr. Mondes, you might as well go and rob!" Dunson knew that the price was definitely huge. Although he didn't know how expensive the weapons were now, he knew how valuable the silver dollar was. A Yuan Datou would be two francs, and a dollar of about 0.50, even a gun would not be as expensive as thirty yuan in a while.
"Dear Sen, what I said is the real price. You have to know that my rifle is brand new!" Mondes was secretly anxious when he saw that Dunson was unwilling to buy it, but he didn't want to lower the price.
"Mr. Mondes, for our future cooperation, I think that a rifle costs twenty yuan per, a heavy machine gun is 1,500 oceans per ocean, and a mountain cannon is better! Of course, I think the shells are a bit expensive, twenty-five yuan! Of course, we have to talk about bullets. You have to know that civil wars in our country are frequent, and your bullets of one hundred yuan per box are really hard to accept. How about the bullets only fifty yuan per box? If this happens, I will eat as much as you have!" Deng Sen suppressed the price fiercely, and then waited for Mondes to argue.
"Oh! Dear Sen, you are such a profiteer! But for our friendship, I think the rifle is twenty-five yuan. Okay, don't look at me like this. Twenty-four yuan, you have to make a little profit. I have enough heavy machine guns, you can only take them away for 2,200 yuan. How can you get four thousand yuan in mountain cannons? You have to know that the shipping costs are very expensive, 5,500 yuan. As for a box of bullets, sixty yuan, and a cannon shell thirty yuan, this is my lowest price!" Mondes was so cruel that he thought he had made less money, but he didn't want to anger Deng Sen, the great god of wealth.
"Okay, let me tell you how many rifles do you have?" When Dengson heard the price, he felt that he could accept it, so he asked about the quantity.
"A thousand rifles, three heavy machine guns, and one 57mm Gruson mountain cannon, the price is 36,000 yuan. As for bullets, it depends on how much you want." Mondes counts as 36,000 yuan. In fact, his rifle is not made in Germany, but in the United States, so the purchase price per shot is only ten yuan, while the purchase price of heavy machine guns is only 1,500 yuan. Overall, he still made nearly half of it, and the profit is ammunition.
"A box of three hundred rounds, each box of sixty yuan, I want 150,000 rounds, that is, 30,000 yuan. The shells are there! First, two hundred rounds, um, six thousand yuan, the total is seventy-two thousand yuan, oh! My god, damn Mondes, you sucked my blood again!" Deng Sen calculated the price and suddenly complained, it was actually just an American way of communication!
"Dear Sen, I am a serious businessman, and the prices are very reasonable. Otherwise, I will let my three trucks take the goods to the station to you?" Mondes smiled, knowing that Dunson felt very satisfied with the transaction.
"Truck? Dear Mondes, are there any excess vehicles for me to sell?" Trucks are a real rare thing for China today, and Dunson also has a heavy demand for trucks.
"Oh, dear Sen, you can't make the idea of hitting my trucks. I have two of them in total, and I bought them for one thousand dollars!" Mondes thought Dunson wanted him to send the truck and complained quickly.
"I don't want you to give it away, but to buy it. Of course, if you can buy it elsewhere, I am willing to buy it. It's a purchase of 2,500 oceans, about 10 taels. I think it's just a few words, and you can get 10,000 yuan!" Deng Sen was tempted. Although this was a loss, who made most of the trucks in the hands of foreigners!
"Sen, do you really want a truck? I have a way of doing this! But it has to be 2,500 yuan at the price you mentioned. Of course, I know to fill your car with gasoline, but aren't you going to buy some more gasoline? One liter is only five yuan! Of course, based on the truck's fuel consumption per kilometer, you need to prepare at least 10,000 liters of gasoline for ten taels of trucks, which would cost 50,000 yuan." When Mondes was selling the truck, he thought of fuel! This is another good business opportunity. In this era, even if Chinese people have cars, they have to buy gasoline from foreigners. The original price of gasoline per liter is only about two yuan, and selling it to Chinese people is five yuan.
"Mundes, you black-hearted guy, I grew up in the United States. Do you think I don't know the price of oil? Prepare 10,000 liters of gasoline for me for 30,000 yuan. Don't use your dirty business behavior to dirt, we only see pure friendship!" Dengson yelled at him angrily. If Dengson was later, he really didn't know what the current oil price was, but Dengson's memory must be integrated, and he also knew the current oil price.
"Oh! Look at me, I'm wrong! OK! 30,000 yuan, but when are you going to give me the money?" Mondes agreed readily. Dengson will spend 100,020 yuan to buy arms supplies this time, and he can earn 45,000 to 50,000 yuan. Don't underestimate these numbers. This era is enough for you to buy a villa in New York!
"By the way, Mondes, you know I have an army under my command. I want to find an instructor. Of course, what I hope most is Germans and German veterans." Deng Sen also has another purpose in coming to Shanghai, which is to find an instructor to train his army. Although he himself understands the basics, he still cannot do regular training.
"Instructor! If you want to find Germany, you may have to go to the German Concession. It must be where Germans gather. Of course, I can also find it for you. However, although our friendship is pure, adding some gold on time will be even more dazzling!" Mondes knew that Dengson could not go to the German Concession by himself.
"Okay, how much do you want?" Dunson seemed to beat Mondes' smile into a pig's head, but he didn't do that. The businessman was just profit-seeking.
"Don't worry, I know that a German is in a miserable life. He used to do arms business like me. Unfortunately, the ship he was on sank and lost all his money. He is a rigorous German soldier. Although he has been discharged from the army! His life is very worrying now. He only relies on the little relief payment given by the German consulate every day. I believe he must be very interested in your proposal. Of course, you have to tell me how much money he is going to pay for others' monthly salary." Mondes introduced the man he knew about German.
"Oh, then I'm going to meet him. You'll tell him that it's no less than two hundred dollars a month. If you work hard and perform well, you won't be less than fifty percent bonus." Dengson said the price in his heart.
"Oh my god, dear Sen, if I were a soldier, I would be very willing to work for you." Mondes is now looking for the German to ask for kickbacks. You must know that even the bank manager's current salary is only one hundred dollars, and he still has to be a municipal bank manager in the United States!
"If you are, I have to consider it..." Deng Sen made a joke, and then went back to the house he rented in Shanghai.
