Chapter 384: 500 war horses

These things were learned by the Shixiong Soul in order to prepare for the research and study abroad, so of course he knew it.

It’s just that he definitely couldn’t tell these things to Colonel Jones in front of him, so he could only smile and point to the sky, and said in fluent London accent: "Mr. Colonel, there are many things that are great, supreme, and omnipotent. The sun **** told me, so I know these things shouldn’t be strange things.”

   This reason is extremely powerful. With the eloquence and dexterity of Colonel Jones, it is impossible to refute this reason.

   Seeing Colonel Jones's stunned look, Shi Xiong smiled again and said: "Then, my dear Colonel, can we talk about the price of the Ferguson rifle?"

   Colonel Jones felt a pain in his heart after hearing the name Ferguson Rifle. I had known that the second lieutenant had the ability to develop new rifles, and that he could develop such a good new rifle. At that time, he shouldn't have left that kid in that indigenous tribe. Now it's good, this rifle named after my own person, I need my boss to spend money to buy it.

   And, judging by the look of this guardian, this guy is obviously also a greedy guy...

It’s just that this rifle is really great. If your subordinates have such a rifle, even... even if you can imitate a batch of them, even if they are not promoted locally, they are only promoted in the colonies of the New World. For a moment, if one or two thousand can be sold, then the profit is still very high.

   Well, if it is estimated that one or two thousand, it should not cause the domestic arms tycoons to specifically target it, right?

   When I went to Philadelphia last time, didn't General Christen complain that the rifles used by the soldiers were not as good as the Kentucky rifles used by the colonists? If you recommend this rifle to General Christen...

   A thousand Ferguson rifles can still be eaten with his own financial resources. Well, as long as the big man in front of you is not a lion's mouth open...

   There should be no problem with counterfeiting, so if it is counterfeited and sold at a certain profit, then as long as two thousand rifles are sold, the profit will be huge.

   If you can’t sell it, keeping these thousand rifles in your own hands can also increase the strength of your subordinates! Recently, the Spaniards in the south were a little bit ready to move. If all the soldiers under them were equipped with this rifle, even if there were thousands of Spaniards, with the Jamestown Fortress Cannon and these rifles, they would still be able to resist the Spaniards.. ....

   How fast Colonel Jones' head turned, he decided to take a risk and eat these rifles almost in an instant.

   Of course, the prerequisite is that the price of this batch of guns cannot be too high. If it is too high, it will be boring to eat.

After making up his mind, Colonel Jones asked bluntly: "Master Guardian, this gun belongs to you. You should give me a price. If you don't pay the price, how can I decide whether to buy your rifles? ?"

   Ishikuma looked at the colonel in front of him playfully, and said in his mind: "Mr. Colonel, we have been very friendly partners for the past two years. I don't think you will deny this."

"Of course, Honorable Guardian, I will never deny this, and I also promise that, no matter whether our transaction will work or not, I will regard the hard-working and kind-hearted Gaoshu tribe as the best of James Jones in the future. Partners and...brothers!"

"Thank you, Mr. Colonel!" Shixiong smiled, "Then since we are friendly partners, then I will definitely not make you uncomfortable with this transaction. Let's do this, the brown bees you are using now The purchase price of the rifle is six pounds and five shillings, but my gun is more than twice as powerful as the Brown Beth rifle, so I want eight for the rifle in my hand...well, seven pounds shouldn’t be Is it high?"

Colonel Jones smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Dear guardian, if you follow a normal transaction, the price you said is really not high. But you also said just now that the Brown Beth's purchases were completely greeted by the greedy group of the Ordnance Bureau. The guys control, and the local arms dealers are also working with the greedy guys and even some big nobles from the Ordnance Bureau to jointly control the purchase price of brown bees, so the price of brown bees cannot be used as a reference price."

After a pause, Colonel Jones lowered his voice and said, "Master Guardian, after I buy these counterfeit guns, whether it is for promotion or other things, it will require a lot of activity funds. If I can't see the profit, I am I won't do this transaction."

   Shixiong thought about the transfer, and immediately said: "My dear Mr. Colonel, what I just said was the price you faked and sold it out. Isn't it possible that this rifle can't even be sold for seven pounds apiece with its performance?"

   Jones smiled and said, "Master Guardian, but we are talking about these rifles in your hand! Second-hand rifles!" In the last five words, Jones slightly increased his tone.

Shi Xiong raised his hand and said, "Well, my dear Mr. Colonel, you will let me lower the price of these guns. Do you think it will work? I will sell these guns for five pounds. You, after all, are a second-hand gun, and your promotion also requires a lot of expenses~lightnovelpub.net~ I can't make my friend lose money to do this."

   "Five pounds? This price is also high..." Colonel Jones said after a moment of hesitation.

"My friend, this price can't be lowered anymore. Although these guns are all second-hand guns, it has not been a month since these guns were produced. My people have not fired a few shots. Therefore, this batch of guns are actually still used. It's a new gun."

After a pause, Shi Xiong continued: "And I don’t need you to pay me in pounds, I only need qualified war horses! I think for you, using war horses to pay for this batch of guns is better than using pounds to pay. Make you more happy, right?"

   "War horses? If a thousand rifles are calculated at 5,000 pounds, I need to pay you five hundred war horses?" Colonel Jones asked hesitantly.

"My friend, this is exactly the number I want in my heart. I think with your skills, these five hundred war horses shouldn’t be a difficult task. I don’t need any thoroughbred horses, I only need your colonists. Just raise horses!"

After a pause, Shi Xiong said solemnly: "Mr. Colonel, my bottom line is to exchange these thousand rifles for 500 horses. As for what price you can get the horses, I don’t care. I only need 500 qualified horses. Of course, if you think you can’t do this, I think the Spanish in the south or the French in the west should be happy to exchange five hundred war horses for these rifles in my hand.”

   Colonel Jones' face changed, but he just hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I want these guns!"
