Looking at the price of the cannon on the list, Kang Lin couldn't help frowning. Although he was not a regular Ming Dynasty craftsman and didn't know how much it cost to make a cannon, he instinctively thought that the price given by Shen Sanda was reasonable. question!Because before he came to the East China Sea, he had discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Ming Dynasty artillery with Yan Si, Fan Huzi and others, which involved the cost of artillery!According to them, when Sun Yuanhua was governor of Denglai, the Shandong Armament Bureau built a 36-jin iron tiger squat cannon. The raw materials and labor were added together, but it was only a mere one or two taels of silver. Even if it flowed to the outside world, At most, it will not exceed double the profit, and the old one is even more worthless!After all, the technical content of this thing is really not high. Even an ordinary blacksmith can knock it out in a blacksmith's shop after simple training!But now, the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty actually took the old cannons as new ones and sold them to themselves at a high price. It was obvious that they were playing with themselves as fools!

Thinking of this, Kang Lin's fat, smiling face immediately sank, and his tone became very indifferent, "Liu Baihu, what does this mean? Do you not want to cooperate with Kang when you offer such a price?"

"Third brother, the so-called 'buying and selling' is nothing more than asking a lot of prices and paying back the money on the spot. You just look at the quotations and don't bargain with them. Why don't you let them take the initiative to lower the price?!" Okay, big brother who is full of interests , brother, he became Liu Baihu without benefit, his face changed so quickly!But considering that he could get a considerable amount of benefits after the arms deal was concluded, Liu Chongqi had to smile all over his face and continue to persuade him.

"Uh, that's right, big brother, what is the highest authority they give you? You and I are not outsiders, let me tell you, if it's suitable, it's okay to settle here!" Isn't it just that you make an offer and I counter-offer? Compared with a skilled businessman, my own reaction seems a bit extreme!So he slowed down his tone, and put a smile on his face again!

"[-]%, they gave me [-]% room for negotiation! Third brother, listen to what the elder brother said. As the saying goes, cheap is not good. Although the artillery in Curry is a bit more expensive, they have at least been used by the Banner Army, which proves that It won't blow up easily, but it's much better than some shiny and beautiful things on the surface..." Seeing his third younger brother's tone slow down, he seemed to be interested in these weapons again, and Liu Chongqi, who was eager to earn intermediate fees, hurried Hit the snake with the stick, and give a [-]% discount!In fact, Weng and Shen gave him a higher privilege than this, but he wanted to earn more, so he just gave his third brother a [-]% discount!

"Thirty percent, you let them give me [-]% of the profit, and give the general cannon and Ye Gongshen cannon with a cannon carriage, and I will eat all of these cannons! Of course, before paying, I have to go and see these The quality of the big guy, if the thing is too shabby, I won’t accept it!" Not having time to pay attention to the messy thoughts of his cheap brother, Kang Lin gave the price in his heart very domineeringly!He wasn't worried that those officials and lords would not sell him arms, because this guy saw the eagerness in the eyes of his elder brother Liu Chongqi, the kind of eagerness to buy all the artillery by himself!He dared to swear with his penis that as long as he bites his tongue, Liu Chongqi, Shen Sanda and others will compromise sooner or later. After all, those cannons are only second-hand, and no one can afford a higher price except himself!

"Twenty percent, at most twenty percent. If the third brother agrees, the eldest brother will go and talk to Ambassador Shen! As for the four-wheeled artillery cart, it's even less of a problem. As long as you can give a few hundred yuan, the shop of Huang Carpenter on West Street Here, you can have any style you want!" Facing his third brother Lion's big mouth, Liu Chongqi said that he could do nothing, but he had to do business, so he could only bargain with him bit by bit.By this time, Lord Baihu still hadn't given up on earning the [-]% of the profit. It seemed that Banner Army Zhengyin's official position really had an irresistible temptation for him!

"Thirty percent, I will pay for the cannon carriages myself. If this is not enough, I will buy one hundred more cannons for each cannon!" However, he underestimated Kang Lin's stubbornness and did not want to be sucked by corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty. The leader of the Chiyang Fleet insisted that the other party pay [-]% of the profit before he would eat this batch of artillery, otherwise, he would rather give up the deal!And this move just hit Liu Chongqi's weakness. The Qijun Shibaihu master who was eager to facilitate this deal finally compromised. Although he touched his saber three times during this period, he finally compromised.

"Third brother, what are you doing? Buying and selling, buying and selling, is nothing more than buying high and selling low, buying low and selling high, don't be related to the eldest brother because of this, and according to the second brother, you still pay [-]% off It’s fine to take this batch of goods at the price, anyway, your family has a big business, so it’s not short of this money..." However, when Liu Chongqi gritted his teeth and was about to agree, Han Wu, who had been acting as a human background, spoke up.Unlike Liu Chongqi and Kang Lin, who each had their own ghosts, this Shandong man attaches great importance to the relationship between the three brothers. When he saw that his eldest brother and third brother had a dispute over business, he hurriedly asked to mediate for them, "Brother, you too, three brothers." My brother is still young, so it’s fine if he likes to mess around, why don’t you follow him? The price set by the prefect of the capital and the ambassador of the Ku, Mr. Shen, is something that no one like you and I can say! If you really want to help My brother, there is no better way than to give advice to the old man, and give him some big and small cannons, gunpowder, and lead bullets!"

Uh, that's right!Not only let the boss Liu Chongqi earn enough intermediary fees, compete with the little bastard Jiang Yundi for the official position of holding hundreds of households, but also let the youngest Kanglin get real benefits, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone!Liu Chongqi and Kang Lin met each other's eyes, and they both saw a satisfied look on each other's faces. They didn't expect that Han Er Er, who looked the most reckless and roughest among the three, could say such insightful words.So, the three brothers who reached a consensus raised their wine glasses together and bumped them together heavily, "Okay, from now on, our brothers will be of the same heart, and our profits will cut through gold!"

The next day at the hour.

Kang Lin got up early in the morning and had just eaten the breakfast that came with the restaurant, when the two-wheeled carriage sent by Liu Chongqi took him to a relatively remote hillside outside the city. The artillery is waiting for him!These skinny-looking, sallow-faced soldiers of the Guards Army will demonstrate to him how to fire the artillery on the list in order to kill more enemies at a longer distance!In order to demonstrate the power of the artillery more intuitively, the soldiers marched at 80 steps (112 meters), 160 steps (320 meters), 480 steps (640 meters), [-] steps ([-] meters), [-] steps ([-] meters) ), some wooden gun targets and scarecrows wearing cotton and leather armor were set up at a distance of [-] steps ([-] meters)!Originally, live pigs and sheep were to be used, but the prudent Liu Dabaihu was afraid that the pigs and sheep would be torn apart by lead bullets and shells, and it would not be easy to sell them to restaurants, so the restaurants would pay back their costs, so they ordered the seconded banner soldiers to set up Wooden cannon targets and scarecrows.Anyway, in his opinion, in the end, it was smashed and smashed, and there was no difference between a living thing and a dead thing!

"Come on, come on, come on, third brother, let me introduce you to the ambassador of the Ku, Mr. Shen, the governor of the prefect, Mr. Jing, and the commander of the guard gunner, Wang Baihu!" Seeing his third brother staggering down from the carriage, Liu Chongqi hurriedly trotted He met him in two steps, then stepped back with his right hand, and began to introduce the big shots present,

"Third brother, this is the treasury ambassador of the capital, Mr. Shen Sanda; this is the chief steward of the mansion commanding the same magistrate Yu Yuli, Mr. Jing Yuan Peijing; the remaining one is even more powerful, he is Donghai Wei. The chief gunnery instructor of the Five Thousand Banners Army, Wang Ruhai and the king of hundreds of households! We are not outsiders, so we should get closer in the future!"

"That's natural, that's natural! Everyone, my younger brother is Liu Baihu's righteous brother Kang Lin, and I'm here to greet everyone!" Seeing Liu Chongqi solemnly introducing these three people to himself, Kang Lin didn't dare to neglect, and went up immediately Taking a step forward, he cupped his hands and bowed to the three of them.

"Don't dare, dare not, I've heard that Liu Baihu has adopted a new brother-in-law. He is humble and forthright. When I saw him today, he really is a boy born from a hero. I'll be polite to you!" The three saw that Kang Lin was young. , but he has the demeanor of a high-ranking person in every gesture, and he doesn't dare to trust him. He accepts his full gift, but owes his body to the side, which is considered to have escaped the full gift of the young man. Everyone returned the gift to Kang Lin Gongche one after another, and a wave of business bragging started!

"You're welcome, you're welcome. You are all my brother's best friends, that is, Kang's best friends. In the future, I would like to ask my elder brothers to take care of my younger brother's business. When we meet for the first time, each of you has a pearl, so please bring it back to me. Madam sister-in-law, let’s play a game or two!" The three of them bowed their hands to return the gift to themselves, but Kang Lin didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he hurriedly waved his hands and asked someone to offer three small black lacquered wooden boxes, inside which was lying quietly on the red silk cloth. The clear, round and lustrous Nanzhu, especially in the interlayer of the boxes of Shen Sanda and Jing Yuanpei, the current supervisor, there is a 20 taels of silver ticket!
