John, who was in the other car, naturally did not know the contents of the conversation between Jiang Yi and Jiang Hu, but even if he knew, it did not matter to him. If Jiang Yi was willing to add more gold, it would not be a problem for him to kneel down and kowtow to Jiang Yi three times. As long as Jiang Yi had enough gold, John was even willing to sell his soul to him.
He had not been idle just now. He had also been beating around the bush along the way, wanting to find out more about their background from Yang Dingwen.
However, Yang Dingwen was not a rookie like Jiang Hu. As soon as John opened his mouth, he knew what John wanted, so he only revealed it secretly. There were many of them and they needed firearms.
John was even more excited now. There were many people who had a great demand for firearms. Weren't they warlords? John liked doing business with these people the most. After all, they weren't one-time buyers. Their orders were in batches.
The car made a few turns and finally arrived at a large warehouse. On the wall at the door, there were a few big words: No Open Fire. This should be the place where John stored his firearms.
Everyone quickly got out of the car and arrived at the warehouse.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Jiang Yi saw that there were many neatly stacked rectangular wooden boxes in the warehouse, as well as many smaller wooden boxes. There were also dozens of machine guns of similar shapes in the open space deep in the warehouse. Jiang Yi roughly estimated that there were hundreds of machine guns in this warehouse alone.
"My dear friend, this is all my goods. I dare say that there is no other foreign firm in the entire Gui Province that can produce such a batch of goods. Only my, John's, Heavenly Dragon Foreign Firm can do it.”John said proudly.
"Then please introduce these weapons to me, my friend. Let me see your strength.”Jiang Yi said.
"No problem, my friend. I'll introduce you now.”
John stepped forward and opened the rectangular wooden box in front of him. He saw five Lee Enfield rifles lying quietly in the wooden box.
John casually picked up one and introduced,""This is the Lee Enfield Rifle, the standard rifle of the English army. Compared to the Type-88 rifle that you are using now, it has a faster loading speed. It is also equipped with a box magazine and a double-row magazine. It can load more bullets, up to ten rounds. It has a great advantage in terms of sustained firepower and firing speed. Trust me, the firepower of this gun will not disappoint you, my friend!”
"And in my warehouse, there are 1,200 boxes of such wooden boxes, which is 6,000 Lee Enfield rifles. It's enough for you to arm an entire brigade!”
After saying that, John looked at Jiang Yi's face proudly. He wanted to see Jiang Yi's shocked expression, but he was soon disappointed. Jiang Yi's expression did not change at all. He still had his signature smile.
"Very good. Friend, please continue your introductions.”Jiang Yi raised his hand and indicated.
Hearing this, John shrugged and led Jiang Yi and the others into the depths of the warehouse, where the machine guns were placed.
"This is the Maxim machine gun. I won't go into detail about this weapon. I think you know its power. I have a total of 50 of these weapons.”John said as he stroked one of Maxim's guns.
Seeing that John had Maxim machine guns, Jiang Yi revealed a happy smile. He originally thought that John only had light weapons such as rifles. He did not expect John to have Maxim machine guns, and there were as many as 50 of them.
Jiang Yi had naturally heard of Maxim's fame. Maxim's heavy machine gun had taken the lives of more than 60000 English soldiers in a day during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. From then on, Maxim had become a well-known killing weapon.
Then John picked up a machine gun that was similar to Maxim's and introduced it," This is a Vickers medium-sized machine gun, a derivative of Maxim's machine gun. However, compared to the former, it is lighter, smaller, and has a good supply of bullets. It can use the same bullets as the Lee Enfield rifle. It is very practical. With it, your army's firepower level will rise to a higher level, my dear friend.”
"The rest are all bullets, mainly Lee Enfield rifles, about two million rounds. The rest are Maxim's bullets, about five hundred thousand rounds.”
"As long as you pay the rest of the money, these cute little things will all be yours!”
After the introduction, John's face returned to his capitalist face.
"No problem. I'll give you the rest of the money later.”Jiang Yi asked.
"Not much. The big chest of gold you just gave me can offset most of it. Just a little bit will do.”
John gestured with his fingers.
"Alright, I'll go to the hotel to get it immediately. When can you help me deliver the goods?”Jiang Yi readily agreed.
"If you need it, I can help you load the car tonight.”John replied.
"Can't you hurry up tonight?”Jiang Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"My friend, although the Governor of Gui Province didn't prohibit the sale of firearms, it's still a large shipment. You should be careful. It wouldn't be good if you were detained when you leave the city.”John shrugged.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi thought for a moment. It was indeed reasonable, so he agreed.
On the way back, John occupied Jiang Hu's seat and sat in the same car as Jiang Yi. He chatted with Jiang Yi along the way.
"Mr. Jiang, speaking of which, my luck is not bad. It turns out that I have to earn a lot less money.”
In the car, John already knew Jiang Yi's surname.
"Oh, how do you say that?"
Jiang Yi was interested.
"It's like this. Originally, I only had 3,000 rifles in my warehouse. However, some time ago, a warlord surnamed Xu asked me to order 2,000 rifles and machine guns with a lot of bullets. However, when I arrived, he said that he didn't have the money to pay and asked me to wait for a while. He even said that he was looking for treasure.”
John lit a cigarette and said disdainfully.
"Oh, the warlord surnamed Xu. Then my friend, why don't you just sell the goods he ordered to me directly and not offend him?”Jiang Yi teased John.
"Why should I be afraid of him? Isn't he just a small warlord who controls a few towns? He even calls himself a marshal.”John said. His words revealed his disdain for this warlord surnamed Xu.
Logically speaking, in this era, a person who was called a marshal was usually the military governor of a province and had at least a province's territory. Only such a person was qualified to be called a marshal. However, as the number of small warlords increased, everyone wanted to be a marshal, so many small warlords directly called themselves marshal. Anyway, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, so no one cared about them. Marshal Xu, who John mentioned, was one of these small warlords.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi thought, This foreigner is really a snob. As soon as he heard that the warlord had no money, he turned around and sold his goods to him. However, when he thought of John's identity as a capitalist, Jiang Yi felt that it was normal for him to do so.
