In the hotel, in a superior room.
Cai Hu made a phone call to Hua 'er. Hua' er, this foreigner, was quite capable.
Cai Hu only used a few words to settle it. Of course, the foreigner was only interested in profit. If it wasn't for Cai Hu's money-making killer weapon, Hua 'er wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
"It's done, Andre. You can use your remaining heat now!”
Cai Hu said to Andre.
"Okay, Mr. Cai. As long as the shipping is settled, leave everything to me. My Krupp Company has a branch in the Austro-Hun Empire. It's more convenient to ship there!”
Andre said excitedly. It seemed that this Asian wasn't a hot-headed person, but rather, he had great power.
"By the way, Mr. Cai, how many firearms do you want to order?”
Andrei Cai Hu was obviously much more respectful, just like how a subordinate treated his superior.
Cai Hu saw that there was still a bit of cream at the corner of Andre's mouth and wanted to laugh. This list had to be adjusted properly. After all, this was the first unit he had formed, so he had to equip it better.
"5000 of the latest Mauser rifles!”
"100 heavy machine guns, 200 light machine guns!”
" 60 mortars, 50!"
"12 75mm Krupp Field Cannons!”
"Oh right, give me ten sniper rifles with a better range!”
"20000 cannonballs first!”
…
Cai Hu said as he thought, causing Andre to be stunned. After he finished speaking, Andre immediately sat on the ground.
"My God, did I hear wrongly?”
Andre looked at Cai Hu in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Your Krupp company can't even produce this much, right?”
Cai Hu frowned.
"I can!"
"But do you know how much this order of yours costs?”
"This is not a small sum!”
Andre asked.
"5000 98K Mauser, I've looked into it, the market price is 1 million!”
"I don't know much about other things!”
Cai Hu said.
"That's right. Just the market price of 5000 98K Mauser guns alone is 1 million yuan. But if you buy a brand new 98K Mauser, I only charge the cost price of the appearance, 500,000 yuan!”
" Also, the Imperium's active troops are using the 14th edition of the improved Mauser. It's lighter, has a higher firing rate, is more convenient to load, has a longer range, and is more accurate. Are you sure you don't want the active version?”
…
Andrei looked at Cai Hu teasingly. Now Andrei could see that Cai Hu wasn't talking nonsense. This person really did have money.
However, Andre was honest in doing business, especially when he was facing Cai Hu, who had saved him.
F * ck, there's actually an active version of Mauser. Of course I want it.
"Of course, I definitely want it. To be able to get such an awesome rifle in active service, do it!”
Cai Hu's eyes lit up as he said this. He was equipped with the standard weapons of the active German army. In the Republic of China, which was almost a territory where people fought with fire sticks, he was almost invincible.
"Okay, then I'll order 5000 active Mauser for you. I'll order this from my family. No one else can buy it!”
Andre smiled and calculated the price of these weapons with Cai Hu.
"5000 brand-new active Mauser rifles, cost price of 1 million!”
…
All the equipment added up to a total budget of 4.5 million dollars.
After calculating, Cai Hu finally understood why Andre had sat on the ground just now. This was really too expensive, and it was even an internal price.
If he didn't accept this soap order this time, he would probably have to sell everything he had to raise money based on the background of those small warlords and Ma Biao. Moreover, the independent regiment would have to eat very little. They wouldn't even be able to eat rice, let alone meat.
…
Shanghai, Axe Gang.
A man with a scar on his face was wearing a traditional black mandarin jacket. He sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression.
"Are you saying that Ma Liu was killed by someone with a southwest accent?”
The scar-faced man was the leader of the Axe Gang. He had hundreds of men under his command and was considered a small force in Shanghai.
The Japanese army could only stay in the Japanese concession and it was inconvenient for them to come out. In order to cultivate their power in the territory controlled by the Republic of China, they supported the Axe Gang.
"Yes, leader, it was done by a Southwestern man. This person looks well-dressed and rich!”
The hooligan who came back to report said while lying on the ground.
"Oh, rich people. Haha, I like to deal with rich people. These rich people are another money bag that has come to my door!”
The leader of the Axe Gang laughed out loud, and the leaders of the two rows below also laughed out loud. They looked like they were saying," Boss, you're awesome."
"Report, I've found out that this person is staying in a high-end hotel in the French concession. It's said that his name is Cai Hu!”
A small leader ran in to report.
"Uh, the French concession. This is a little difficult to handle. There are French troops stationed there, and the police department there is also impervious to oil and salt!”
The leader of the Axe Gang was a little troubled.
However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to take the life of the person who dared to slap the Axe Gang's face.
Immediately, the gang leader gathered 20 of the better shooters, put on casual clothes, and slowly headed toward the French concession according to the address given by his subordinates.
…
The French concession.
Cai Hu brought Andeli to a sumptuous meal and gave Andeli 5000 yuan as pocket money.
Andre was extremely touched. He felt that he had to hug this thick leg tightly in the future.
After the meal, Cai Hu went to Hua Er and the other foreigners to confirm Cai Hu's identity and transaction process at the British Embassy in China.
Hua Er and the others immediately transferred 6 million yuan to Cai Hu's bank account as a deposit.
After Cai Hu received the money, he ordered two medium-sized ocean-going freighters from the Britons. Each ship had a load of between 10,000 to 20,000 tons.
These two cargo ships could transport ten times the amount of firearms without a doubt, let alone this little amount of firearms.
The two ocean-going freighters cost 500,000 dollars. After that, Cai Hu ordered 100 military trucks from Ford, which cost him 100,000 dollars.
Although Cai Hu wanted to build a cavalry unit, there were still many infantry soldiers in this reinforced regiment. They also needed to carry military supplies such as cannons and artillery shells. Only with enough military cards could it be convenient for military operations. It would be more convenient and save trouble.
Moreover, these military cards could also be used to transport supplies. They were essential for opening factories and farming.
After Cai Hu was done, on the way back to the hostel, he met the Japanese businessman, Yamaguchi Shozo, and the military officer of the Japanese embassy in Shanghai, Watanabe.
