Chapter 23 You get what you pay for
Fortunately, they didn't do this. Otherwise, let alone compete with Zheng Yiguan now. At that time, as long as they attacked the sea wolves, with the strength of the sea wolves, they would also be beaten up. Even the stupid port that has settled down now may not be able to stay any longer. They are likely to end up with Chu Cai is much more miserable.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun made up his mind that he can't be an enemy of sea wolves in the future. They have guns and cannons, and they are made by themselves. Their craftsmanship is still so exquisite, and their subordinates are so powerful. If they don't make trouble for them, they dare to find trouble again!
After going back this time, he said that he would talk to those brothers about everything he saw and heard this time. He could only be friends with the sea wolf in the future and never be their enemies. Otherwise, he would definitely end up with no end.
"Brother Chen, are you satisfied with this kind of gun? Do you still think it's too expensive? Yu Xiaotian showed a smug smile and asked Chen Xun.
Chen Xun quickly turned around, bowed to Xiaotian, and said with a smile on his face, "Good shot! It's really good! It's beyond expectations! This kind of gun is really great! This price is fair! It's really fair!"
Yu Xiaotian nodded and waved with satisfaction, "It's so good. Let's go and see how the rest is!" Then..."
Then Chen Xun followed Yu Xiaotian to the island used as a shooting range. The island had a small dock for two or three ships, but a manpower boom was set up on the dock to facilitate the unloading of goods to the island.
In the past six months, several sets of gun models have been opened. These gun models are used for the future arms sales and production of monkey guns, and one or two sample guns were piloted and transported to the island for testing. After feeling that, they were stored in the island range.
Yu Xiaotian asked Chen Xun to watch the samples of two old-fashioned tiger squat guns and extermination guns cast before, as well as samples of musket guns. After Chen Xun looked at them, he was happy. Although this kind of tiger squat guns and extermination guns were not new, he saw that these cannons were better than those on land. The guns of the same type made by some black workshops are much better and can't be compared in craftsmanship (that's! The safety of the iron mold-cast gun itself is good. Even if it is not polished, the surface and gunbore are much smoother than the mud-cast gun. Even the gunbore can be used directly without roving. The process is extremely simple, but the quality is quite good).
As for the kind of rifle, whether it is workmanship or power, it is not bad compared with the birds built by the black workshop on land, and the power and range are good.
So Chen Xun had no more farts. Even if he had money to buy this quality gun, he had no place to buy it. Although the price was not cheap, he could only agree to the price offered by the sea wolf, so he finalized the sale on the spot. These weapons added up to 42,82 of silver, Yu Xiao In the end, he looked at Yan Siqi's face and gave him a discount and lost 28,000 taels of silver, which made Chen Xun very happy.
In addition to these, Yu Xiaotian also offered to give this batch of cannons, each gun with five shells and five gunpowder, and 20 rounds of ammunition, which can be regarded as a gift for this sale. If Yan Siqi still wants it, then it will be settled separately.
Chen Xun came to Nanri Island this time and brought 5,000 taels of silver. Once the deal was completed, he would leave the silver as a deposit. After the business was settled, he immediately ordered someone to unload the 5,000 taels of silver to the shore and hand it over to the Sea Wolf Council.
Yu Xiaotian was also very generous. He directly gave Chen Xun a No. 3 gun, a tiger squat gun and a fugitive gun. In addition, he gave him two muskets as samples and asked Chen Xun to bring it back to Yan Siqi first.
Chen Xun immediately took his men and put on these guys. Without stopping, he left Nanri Island and rushed back to their side.
Yan Siqi is sleepy and worried these days. He has a headache about Zheng Yiguan. Originally, he was quite valued by Zheng Yiguan and was interested in cultivating Zheng Yiguan. In the future, he would let Zheng Yiguan sit in his second chair and become his deputy.
But I didn't expect that Li Dan's sudden death made Zheng Yiguan take over his plate as a whole, which made Zheng Yiguan's strength suddenly increase and suddenly surpassed his strength.
It turned out that he was still very happy about this matter. He felt that with these forces brought by Zheng Yiguan, his strength could jump to the super boss on the sea, but he immediately found that he was happy too early.
After receiving Li Dan's plate, Zheng Yiguan immediately changed his attitude a lot from before. He vaguely no longer took him seriously and became arrogant everywhere.
Only then did Yan Siqi realize what it means to have a big tail. With the growth of strength, Zheng Yiguan is no longer the person he can continue to control.
No boss wants to see his men's strength exceed his own strength. Although Yan Siqi is a hero, he is also a human being. He knows very well what kind of consequences this will bring, so he is more careful of Zheng Yiguan.
Next, Zheng Yiguan's men began to be a little confused and did not listen to his deployment. They only listened to Zheng Yiguan's instructions, including Zheng Yiguan, they went out to work and no longer greeted Yan Siqi or listen to Yan Siqi's instructions. Although Zheng Yiguan did not tear his face with Yan Siqi, However, he disobeyed his words and was no longer constrained by Yan Siqi.
Yan Siqi was angry about this, but he was afraid of Zheng Yiguan's strength, and he did not dare to turn against Zheng Yiguan easily. For him, these days were simply like years. On the surface, he still had to maintain harmony with Zheng Yiguan, which made Yan Siqi very unhappy and drank every night to drown his sorrow.
Later, he realized that it was not a way to go on like this. Zheng Yiguan was secretly dividing his power. Some of his men had begun to fall to Zheng Yiguan. Some people secretly began to shout that Zheng Yiguan should be the boss and replace him.
The boss who step down at any time will basically not have a good end, which Yan Siqi understands better than anyone else, so he must stabilize his men before this. Even if he can't kill Zheng Yiguan, he must force Zheng Yiguan away.
But his strength is not good. No matter what he does, he can't easily solve Zheng Yiguan's trouble. Zheng Yiguan is now rubbing his hands and preparing to do a big job. He vaguely regards him as a rear base and begins to try to go to the coastal area of Fujian to grab a new territory. His great wealth.
After thinking about it, Yan Siqi and several of his cronies finally thought of finding help. He must improve his own strength in a short time, and also find an alliance to deal with Zheng Yiguan with him.
After a lot of discussion, Yan Siqi finally chose Yu Xiaotian, because at present, only Yu Xiaotian may help him and stabilize his position.
The reason is very simple. Yu Xiaotian is now in the coastal area of Fujian and is very strong. Chu Cai can only retreat three feet from him. Although Zheng Yiguan's strength has soared, he may not easily top Yu Xiaotian's position on the coast of Fujian in a short time.
And it is rumored that Yu Xiaotian can build * and cast cannons by himself. At present, he urgently needs these things to arm his cronies. He can't suppress Zheng Yiguan by recruiting people alone. Only by strengthening the strength of his cronies can he gain the strength to resist Zheng Yiguan.
And no one can replace Xiaotian to help him. Although he isware of Xiaotian and has thought about cooperating with Chu Cailao before, where is the situation of Chu Cailao? Since the last time he was cleaned up by the sea wolf, this old man has been running around and west to try to get more Many cannons and * even tried to imitate the sea wolf to cast their own cannons, but nothing was done, and the money spent a lot.
Therefore, Yan Siqi finally chose Yu Xiaotian. After discussing with several trusted brothers in private, he sent Chen Xun to Nanri Island. After sending Chen Xun away, Yan Siqi has been anxiously waiting for Chen Xun's news.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Chen Xun returned to Bengang with a boat, quietly returned to the stockade, and reported to Yan Siqi with an excited face: "Brother! It's done!"
Yan Siqi immediately retreated and asked Chen Xun nervously, "Is it done? Didn't Yu Xiaotian make things difficult for you?"
Chen Xun immediately told Yan Siqi about his trip to Nanri Island, and also told Yan Siqi about the batch of arms negotiated by the two sides.
When Yan Siqi heard this price, he first took a breath of cold air, and then pulled out a few black lines on his forehead and said to Chen Xun unhungryly, "The price offered to us by Yu is too expensive! What a cannon? How can it cost one or two thousand taels of silver? The bird actually needs 40 taels of silver! Isn't this Yu Xiaotian taking advantage of the fire to rob?
Chen Xun quickly explained with a smiling face, "You can't say that! You get what you pay for! Although the price is indeed not low, it is really worth the money! The main reason is that I haven't seen their things!
This time I saw their power with my own eyes. I really have nothing to say about this! Beautiful!"
Yan Siqi only cared about the pain and said angrily, "What's the use of being beautiful? Don't look good and don't like it. Aren't we blinding this silver?
Chen Xun quickly shook his head and said, "It's definitely not a good thing. This kind of light red cannon in this list is what they are using now, which is quite face-saving for the boss!" He ordered these 20 cannons to be removed directly from their ship and given to us!
He said that he was afraid that he would not be able to make so many cannons for us in a short time, and he was in a hurry, so he simply removed the cannons directly from their ship and gave them to us!
In addition, I also blocked my face and tried to release these kinds of cannons. Except for that kind of big red cannon, I have seen other cannons with my own eyes. The craftsman of the sea wolf is exquisite, and this cannon is really not picky! There is no flaw in the whole body, which can't be made by those land craftsmen!
And when I came back, I brought back one of everything except the big red cannon. Now it's on the boat. After dark, I will send someone to unload these things. At that time, the eldest brother will know that the money is not in vain!"
