Fengxian Jiangshan

Lu Rongting also nodded slightly: "I hope you agree with what you say, this can do it."

After finishing speaking, Lu Rongting didn't care about Chen Jiongming anymore.Instead, he concentrated on looking at these weapons of Fengjun. To be honest, the craftsmanship made by Fengjun is still far behind that of the great powers.But the advantage is that the variety is complete and the big killer is sufficient.It is not like the great powers that attach a lot of political conditions.Hence the fatal attraction.

Lu Rongting was quickly fascinated.Looking at this rifle and that mortar, he couldn't help admiring that they were all good things, but it was a pity that he couldn't get all of them in his hands.

Representatives of other people came one after another, and they were all observing the munitions.It's as lively as a market.At this time, Sun Xianrui was already in Baiyun Mountain.It's just that she is not enjoying the scenery, but has business to talk about.

Opposite Sun Xianrui, there happened to be a young military officer, who was much older than Sun Xianrui.But it seemed a little cautious and trembling.

Sun Xianrui said with a smile: "Mr. Deng, don't be nervous. I invite you here, but I actually want you to help me?"

"Miss Sun, just do what you tell me, and I will do it."

"I haven't said anything yet, you are eager to agree, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

The officer hurriedly said: "Miss Sun came here on behalf of Shuai Lan, relying on Fengjun's reputation, how can I suffer!"

Sun Xianrui also smiled and said: "Mr. Deng is really smart, I dare to ask here, are you here to buy weapons for Liu Cunhou, or for yourself?"

When the young officer heard this, he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.His name is Deng Xihou, and he is a subordinate of Liu Cunhou of the Sichuan Army.It turned out that when all the provinces were begging for grandson together, Liu Cunhou sent him out of Sichuan and followed the Beiyang army to Guangzhou.Later, when he heard the news that Fengjun was going to sell weapons, Liu Cunhou didn't let him leave, but kept waiting in Guangzhou for this matter.

Sichuan is extremely closed, but there are continuous civil wars. There is a big gap in weapons, but there are no good things to buy, so Liu Cunhou is full of expectations for these arms.But it's not just him, Deng Xihou is also the same, his strength is rapidly expanding, and his ambition is also increasing, and he still wants to strengthen his own strength and become the real master of the party.He was also ecstatic when he suddenly received an invitation from Sun Xianrui. This is a good opportunity to get on the line of Fengjun, how could he miss it!

Deng Xihou was silent for a while, and then said very seriously: "Miss Sun, it is human nature for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places, and Deng does not dare to hide it from Miss."

When he said this, a layer of sweat was already dripping from Deng Xihou's forehead. He was smooth, but he also knew that he could not blindly be smooth. Sometimes he had to place a bet. Facing Sun Xianrui's question, Deng Xihou gritted his teeth and finally chose Tell the truth.

Sun Xianrui laughed suddenly: "Mr. Deng, you are indeed an honest person. As long as you are willing to obey my command, you will be able to get a large amount of ammunition and even the support of Fengjun."

……

In a blink of an eye, the next day, all these representatives must have arrived at the venue, including Lu Rongting and Chen Jiongming, all of them had red eyes.It was really too difficult to make a choice among a lot of good things. They all racked their brains, kept comparing, and searched for the most ideal thing.

Just when everyone was ready, Sun Xianrui came late. She took a look at these people, and then said generously: "Everyone, let's not say much. According to the rules, we will start bidding. The first One thing is a 150 200mm howitzer, starting from ten, and the reserve price is [-] million yuan!"

Lu Rongting and the others thought they would start the auction with the most basic pistols and rifles, but they didn't know that they would be heavy artillery, so they were caught off guard.Facing such a big killer, they can only force themselves and make careful calculations.

Ten cannons, a total of 200 million, is equivalent to 20 yuan for one cannon. The money for one cannon is almost enough to pay a brigade for a year. This is really not a small sum.

Everyone whispered to each other, not deciding whether to buy or not.At this moment, a young officer suddenly raised the sign in his hand.

"I'll pay 200 million!"

When Lu Rongting heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to see that it was Deng Xihou from Sichuan who made the bid, and his brows immediately frowned.

He said coldly: "Although it's an auction today, you have to know your own weight. It's easy to bid. If you can't get the money, it will be a shame!"

Deng Xihou smiled slightly: "Marshal Lu, heavy artillery is a good thing. Why Wu Peifu's third division is second to none among the Beiyang armies? The reason is very simple, that is, he has a heavy artillery regiment. Our Sichuan army also bought some heavy artillery for decoration. Is there any problem? ? As for the issue of funds, don’t worry, although we can’t come up with so much cash, there are a lot of local products in Sichuan, and I can use pig bristles as collateral!”

Before there is no collective name, high-quality bristles are an important material for making brushes, and this kind of brush is an essential thing for maintaining guns. Therefore, bristles are also an out-and-out strategic material. Sichuan has the best quality of bristles in the world. In the place where there was a large number of exports during the First World War, it is of course no problem to use this thing as a mortgage.

Lu Rongting couldn't say anything, but instinctively felt a pressure. He still wanted to live within his means and spend too much money, but it seemed obvious that he couldn't do it.

"Have you come up with a higher price?" Sun Xianrui asked again.

At this time, a little old man suddenly stood up: "Miss Sun, didn't you say that the supply will be opened up? If we want to buy more, what should we do?"

It was Li Gengen who asked the question. He was Tang Jiyao, who represented the Dian army. There was a conflict between the Dian army and the Sichuan army. When he saw that Deng Xihou wanted to buy heavy artillery, he couldn't bear it, so he stood up and asked questions.

"I have already introduced in the auction rules that the current batch of arms auctioned is sold at a preferential price. The price is a [-]% premium, as long as you pay the money, you can go directly to buy it.”

Li Gengen finally figured it out, it would be cheaper to grab it now, and it would only be more expensive in the future, so he couldn't help holding up the sign: "I'll offer 210 million."

"220 million!" Deng Xihou also raised the price without hesitation.

"230."

"240"

……

As the price of cannons continued to rise, everyone present was dumbfounded, and they also understood that this was not a discount, but a bloody competition. If you don’t want to be killed by your neighbors, you should buy weapons to keep safe!

Chapter 619 Astronomical Profit

Among the warlords present here, Lu Rongting of the Guizhou faction and Chen Jiongming of the Cantonese army are deadly rivals. The Yunnan army and the Sichuan army are also fighting. The youngest, so I also want to expand the military.

This group of people gathered together to compete for weapons, and the result can be imagined, especially Deng Xihou made a good start, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can use souvenirs as collateral, Fengjun is easy to talk, and wants everything.All of these people's minds were spinning quickly, to see what they could mortgage, and buy the weapons back as soon as possible.

Of course, you have to buy it, but looking at the red-eyed neighbors around, who can rest assured, if they buy big killers back home, these things may be used against themselves, who can live in a crooked way!

Li Genyuan and Deng Xihou robbed the heavy artillery, and quickly pushed the price to 280 million a piece, which was far beyond the reserve price quoted by Sun Xianrui. She sat on it with an innocent face, as if she never expected such a fierce competition. Little did she know that Deng Xihou was a trustee arranged by her.

After calling 280 million, Sun Xianrui blinked his left eye slightly. At this time, Deng Xihou below already knew that it was almost done, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is rich and powerful, I feel ashamed."

Deng Xihou voluntarily gave up, and Li Gengen was also complacent. Although the asking price reached 28 yuan, this price is still fair. If you want to buy this kind of artillery from the big powers, it will cost at least 40 yuan. After-sales service, helping with training and maintenance, the weapon still has a one-year warranty period, which has never happened before.

Although 280 million is painful, it is worth it.But just when Li Gengen breathed a sigh of relief.Lu Rongting suddenly raised the sign in his hand: "I offer 290 million!"

When Li Genyuan heard this, he immediately frowned. This Lu Rongting was so shameless that he dared to steal his business. He had already received a telegram from Tang Jiyao.For the heavy artillery, he is determined to win, so Li Gengen unceremoniously raised the sign: "300 million!"

"310 million!"

"320 million!"

……

Another round of fierce bidding began, and it was pushed up to 340 million in an instant. Li Gengen's eyes were red.Lu Rongting showed a smug smile, he didn't really want to compete, but just wanted to push up the price.Consuming a little more financial resources of the Dian army, so that he will have one less opponent in the next auction.

Everyone else suddenly realized that this auction is a battlefield, not only bloody competition, but also intrigues.Everyone must work hard, so that they can get what they want and avoid being calculated.

Seeing the thoughtful faces below, Sun Xianrui said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Li, you have won ten heavy artillery pieces at a price of 340 million. The goods are already in transit and will be delivered to Yunnan within one month. Next is the second auction item. Fifty 76mm mountain guns, enough to equip the artillery regiment, start at 2 yuan each!"

"I'll pay 120 million!"

Chen Jiongming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly held up a sign. The Dian army was at the border. Since the late Qing Dynasty, its equipment was second only to Beiyang. They also had artillery regiments. What they lacked was only heavy artillery.

The Guangdong Army has a huge gap in the field of heavy firepower, so he can't wait to make up for this shortcoming.Therefore, 20 was added at once.

Deng Xihou on the side also bid without hesitation: "130 million!"

"130 million!" Lu Rongting also increased the price.

"150 million!" Chen Jiongming raised the price without hesitation.

When the others saw it, they all joined in. During the first round of robbing, they still had a wait-and-see mentality, but now they all put aside.This is the time when the bayonet is popular, and you must not give up.

The 76mm guns are widely equipped in all armies, and they are most familiar with the performance of this kind of artillery. Feng Jun took out fifty guns at once, and they couldn't help but make them envious.The price soared all the way. In the end, Chen Jiongming bid 180 million all at once, and everyone else looked at each other in dismay. If the bid continued, the price would be more expensive than buying from the big powers, and they could only shake their heads and give up.
