Buying a Gun
Baldy Qiang nodded and took out the blueprint that he had prepared earlier and handed it to John Wolf. John Wolf was overjoyed when he saw the blueprint. He became crazy for a moment and kept muttering something. He even forgot the most basic etiquette.
Xu Wenqiang didn't mind and waited at the side. After a moment, John Wolf came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm really sorry. I was just a little too excited when I saw the blueprint. This blueprint is really God's work. Dear Mr. Bald Qiang, are you really not going to consider coming to our country? We will give you the best treatment.”
"I only have one boss in my life," Baldy Qiang said coldly.”
" That's a pity." John Wolfe felt regretful.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get the money for you now. John Wolfe told them to wait here while he went to the embassy of the country.
"My lord, will they burn the bridge after crossing it? Dian Wei came over and whispered.
Xu Wenqiang held a glass of red wine and shook it gently. He narrowed his eyes and smiled."That won't happen. This country guy is a smart person. He knows that we can't force him to cooperate with people like us. Although this guy is crazy, he has a good reputation.”
"Even if they go back on their word, I can make them spit out what they ate!"”
At the French Embassy.
The ambassador of the United States, Morrie, was having lunch with his wife. When he saw John Wolf rushing in, he couldn't help but smile."Oh, dear John, what's wrong with you? You came at the right time. We just sat down. Why don't you have lunch with us?”
John panted and waved his hand.""Morrie, I'm not in the mood to eat right now. I have something important to discuss with you.”
Morrie looked at him, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and nodded."Alright, let's talk inside.”
As soon as they entered the office, John Wolf said,""Morrie, I need you to take 300,000 dollars from our research funding.”
"John, are you kidding me?" Morrie turned around and asked in surprise. 300,000 yuan is not a small amount. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't give you the money.”
John Wolf took out the blueprint and placed it in front of Morrie. He said solemnly,""I got a blueprint of a tank. I can conclude that this technology is at least 20 years ahead of the world. If we can build this tank, it will have a huge impact on our country.”
Morrie carefully looked at the blueprint for a long time before slowly getting up. He only said one sentence,""I'll withdraw the money for you immediately."
Xu Wenqiang and the others didn't wait too long. After only two hours, John's figure appeared at the door again. He smiled and put a check in Xu Wenqiang's hand. He said casually,""This blueprint belongs to me now, right?”
"That's right!" Xu Wenqiang also revealed a bright smile on his face. He flicked the check and put it in his pocket.
"Then we won't disturb you anymore."
"Aren't you going to have dinner with me?”John said.
" No," Xu Wenqiang said with a smile." I think Mr. John is also eager to study the blueprint in your hand, right?"”
John smiled and walked the three of them to the door before leaving.
Xu Wenqiang took the two of them and deposited the check directly into a bank in the International Settlement. It was not only inconvenient but also unsafe to have so much money on him.
The next thing to consider was the purchase of guns.
Xu Wenqiang asked someone to inquire about it. At present, only Japan had the equipment to manufacture guns, but it was obviously impossible for Japan to sell the equipment to him.
If he bought it from abroad, it would probably take more than a year. Xu Wenqiang couldn't wait that long.
Therefore, he could only take a step back and look for someone to buy guns.
Xu Wenqiang had been asking around for the past two days and learned that the military factories in China were still very immature at this stage. Most of them fell into the hands of the major warlords. It was even more impossible to buy guns from the hands of the Chinese. They didn't even have enough for themselves, so how could they sell them to others?
Therefore, Xu Wenqiang set his sights on the Anglo-French concession. They must have a lot of guns and ammunition in their hands.
These days, Gopher and Big Melon had been gathering information everywhere. They knew that most of the upper-class people in Shanghai gathered at night at the largest dance hall in Shanghai, Paramount. This was a breakthrough.
That night, Xu Wenqiang changed into a decent suit and brought Dian Wei, Bald Qiang, and a few lackeys to Paramount.
As the largest social venue in Shanghai, Paramount was decorated magnificently and extravagantly. The upper-class people who came and went appeared extremely graceful.
There were many cars parked at the entrance of Paramount. At this time, if China wanted to own a car, they could only rely on imported cars. Moreover, the price of cars was ridiculously high. It was simply an unreachable dream for ordinary people to own a car.
Those who could sit in a private car were all big shots in Shanghai.
Xu Wenqiang smiled slightly. If he wanted this kind of thing, he could have it at any time. He had a huge sum of 300,000 yuan in his account, but good steel should be used on the blade. Now was not the time to spend money. When his power really grew, there would probably be people rushing to give him a car.
"Sir, do you have a female companion?" There were a few polite courtesans standing at the door. They were dressed in extremely revealing clothes. This was rare in the feudal ancient times, but in Paramount, this was the most common thing.
" No." Xu Wenqiang shook his head. He knew the history of Paramount.
Initially, Paramount looked luxurious, but they were all extremely high-end and luxurious. In fact, they had been in a state of loss all this time because of the wrong positioning!
After only four months of operation, it went bankrupt. Later, another boss took over and introduced a new system. It accepted both high-end people and ordinary people. The difference was that the former brought their own female companions, while the latter were dancers provided by the dance hall.
The hostess nodded with a hint of disdain in her eyes and led the few of them into the ballroom.
The interior of the ballroom was decorated even more luxuriously. A transparent glass lighthouse illuminated the entire hall, making it seem like it was daytime. The solemn marble floor covered the entire floor.
There were even different floors in different areas. Some were transparent glass, while the center of the dance floor was a spring floor, allowing the people dancing on the dance floor to be even more immersed.
Xu Wenqiang did not think much of it. In his previous life, he was in an era of information explosion. What kind of scene had he not seen? To him, this was just child's play.
