Arms Merchant
Feng Jingyao saw Xu Wenqiang and Fang Yanyun walking over. He calmly picked up a glass of wine and smiled at a foreigner beside him.
"Mr. Charles, I heard that you recently got a very good antique. Do you have a chance to let me see it and open my eyes?”
A few foreigners saw Feng Jingyao coming over to strike up a conversation. They were chatting happily and were a little unhappy. However, Feng Jingyao was a famous figure in Shanghai. They couldn't ignore him so they could only pick up their wine glasses and smile in broken Chinese.
"Mr. Feng, of course I'm very happy that you came. I heard that you're a big expert in antique appraisal!”
"No, no, Mr. Charles, you flatter me. I just did some research, haha.”
Feng Jingyao laughed and chatted with the foreigners. He inadvertently glanced at Xu Wenqiang.
The meaning was obvious.'Brat, do you think I'm awesome?'
Xu Wenqiang saw Feng Jingyao showing off his strength and felt a little toothache.
One had to know that in Shanghai now, if one could become friends with a foreigner, it meant that their status had reached a certain level. Otherwise, they would not bother with you at all. Feng Jingyao's meaning was clear here. He could make friends with foreigners, but a fledgling like him was still far from it.
In front of his woman, Xu Wenqiang didn't want to be suppressed by Feng Jingyao. He picked up a glass of wine and walked over to sit next to Feng Jingyao.
Feng Jingyao was a little puzzled when he saw him. What are you doing here?
The next moment, he was stunned. Xu Wenqiang actually spoke fluent English and chatted with this group of foreigners without any hindrance. He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Xu Wenqiang received the superhuman serum from the American captain. Not only did he inherit the strong physical fitness and military accomplishments of the American captain, but he was also proficient in English, German, and French.
Of course, there was no problem communicating with this group of foreigners.
The group of foreigners were also very surprised that this young Chinese could speak such a standard foreign language. Moreover, some of the pronunciations were even more accurate than theirs. After all, their language also had a slight accent.
Looking at Xu Wenqiang and these foreigners talking without him, Feng Jingyao felt a sense of crisis. Why did this kid suddenly appear and go against him everywhere? And he grew so fast. The last time he saw him, he was still a poor kid, but now he was sitting in the dance hall of Paramount and chatting with foreigners.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, your unique insights really make us…Hmm, what's your Chinese name again? Yes, it's refreshing.”A foreigner smiled happily and admired Xu Wenqiang.
Xu Wenqiang smiled and waved his hand." No, no, I'm just talking nonsense. It can't be taken seriously. It's just a hypothesis. But you, brother, speak Chinese well."”
The few of them laughed and a foreigner said.
"Mr. Xu, your unique insight is not nonsense. Although it's just a hypothesis, we can hear that this has a certain scientific basis. If the conditions permit, it might really be realized. I think we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Why don't we leave our business cards and keep in touch in the future?”
"Of course, that's good." Xu Wenqiang smiled. To be able to make friends with some foreigners was an important purpose of his visit.
Xu Wenqiang pondered for a moment and said,"I do have something to ask you. Why don't we move to the other side and talk?”
He didn't want Feng Jingyao to have anything on him. Giving him a chance meant giving him a chance to get something on him.
Xu Wenqiang brought a few foreigners to a quiet room and sat down.
"It's like this." Xu Wenqiang went straight to the point." I need to buy a batch of firearms recently. I wonder if you have any channels?"”
Everyone looked at each other. An American smiled and said,"Mr. Xu, you've found the right person. I happen to have a friend who's in this business. He happens to be in the ballroom right now.”
Xu Wenqiang was overjoyed. He did not expect his luck to be so good.
A Japanese man next to him looked at the American who had left and coughed."Mr. Xu, if you urgently need this batch of firearms, I think it's better not to buy them from the United States. It will take at least three months to buy them from the United States. Coincidentally, I also do business in this area.”
This Japanese was called Sakai Takahiro. He was a businessman who came to China to do business, but he was actually working for the Japanese country in secret. He was a secret Japanese spy.
Xu Wenqiang looked at him and refused,""No need. I can wait even if it's a little slower. I'm not too assured about your Japanese goods.”
Takahiro Sakai's face darkened. He snorted and did not say anything.
After a while, the American man from earlier returned with a blonde middle-aged American man.
"This is my good friend, John Allen. If Mr. Xu needs anything, you can talk to him.”
John Allen sat down and said,"Mr. Xu, if you want firearms, I happen to have a batch with me right now. I can get the goods immediately.”
"Oh?" Xu Wenqiang was a little surprised and quickly asked,"As far as I know, it should take a long time to purchase goods from America, right?”
"It's like this, Mr. Xu." John Allen said," We received a batch of orders some time ago. It was ordered by a small warlord in China. At that time, we had already received the deposit, but when the goods arrived, that group of people had all been killed. Our batch of goods was held in our hands for a long time. If you want it now, I can immediately pick it up for you.”
Xu Wenqiang nodded and said,"That's great. Let's go now."”
The few of them returned to the dance hall. Xu Wenqiang gave some instructions to his underlings to send Fang Yanyun back safely. Then, he left with Dian Wei and Bald Qiang.
The group of people came to the door of a small warehouse. John Allen ordered someone to open the warehouse as he spoke.
"Back then, there weren't many warlords who ordered firearms, and the quantity they ordered wasn't large either. Right now, we only have 1000 pistols, 1000 rifles, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition. As for grenades, we don't have many.”
Xu Wenqiang entered the warehouse and asked Bald Qiang to check the firearms carefully. Bald Qiang nodded at Xu Wenqiang after checking carefully.
"Very good." Xu Wenqiang turned to look at John Allen and said,"I want all these firearms. Mr. John, name a price.”
John Allen was also very happy. If he sold this batch of firearms, his losses would be greatly reduced.
"Our prices are very clear. The pistol is 60 dollars, and the rifle is 100 dollars.”
