    "Mr. Fang, I'm glad to see you again. I was busy with other business in the office just now, so I couldn't greet you in time. I'm really sorry." Liu Chengquan said politely with a smile on his face.  [bsp; Fang Hua glanced at the empty lobby and didn't know where the business he was talking about was. Thinking of the chat he just heard in the lobby, I'm afraid the comprador in front of him lost a lot of money in the stock market.  I was sulking in the office just now.

    It is naturally difficult to expose this kind of thing. Fang Hua shook his head indifferently and said: "I am also very happy to see you again. Speaking of which, it is our fault that we forgot to make an appointment and came directly to the door."

    "Where, where, it's our honor for Mr. Fang to come to our foreign company. Let's go into the office and talk." Liu Chengquan said a few polite words, and then invited Fang Hua and others to his office. Some things were still discussed in the office.  Convenience.

    As soon as he entered the office and sat down, Liu Chengquan asked: "Mr. Fang, how are you using the wireless telegraph machines you ordered from our company last time?"

    Since he is an old customer, he should recall the friendly cooperative relationship between the two parties. Liu Chengquan has always been confident in the quality of products produced in Germany, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the five items Fang Hua ordered last time.  A wireless telegraph machine.

    "The condition of use is very good. The quality of German products is indeed very good. I am very satisfied with this. However, the price charged by your bank is not low. Even the wages of the technicians are borne by me. I cannot treat my friends in this way."  Find a way." Fang Hua said with a smile.

    Liu Chengquan laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Fang, you get what you pay for. Our foreign company's products are of good quality, so the price will naturally be a little more expensive. There is no way around it."

    "Mr. Liu, are you just trying to deal with me like this? I heard that the price of the same product you sell to Americans is 10% lower, and the technicians you provide are free. Is this how your bank treats its customers?  "Fang Hua suddenly said bluntly.

    Liu Chengquan was startled, and the smile on his face suddenly became awkward. He didn't expect that Fang Hua would know about this kind of thing. He really shot himself in the foot. After a pause, he asked  : "Oh, Mr. Fang, is there a misunderstanding about this matter? Where did you get this news?"

    Speaking of this matter, I would also like to thank Merkel, the telegraph technician provided by Li & Matheson. Because he was familiar with the telegraph frequency of Li & Matheson, he received a clear quotation, which included a wireless telegraph sold to HSBC Bank in the United States.  The selling price of the machine.  The reason why Fang Hua told this matter at this time was to make Liu Chengquan feel afraid of him at the beginning of the conversation, so that he would not dare to speak easily when negotiating the price.

    "Mr. Liu doesn't need to hide it. I naturally have my source of information and can guarantee its authenticity. That's the end of this matter. I hope we can still be friends. I ask Mr. Liu to treat me with sincerity."  ." Fang Hua said slowly.

    "Of course, of course." Liu Chengquan said awkwardly.

    Fang Hua didn¡¯t want to have a tense relationship with Li Heyang, so he stopped and casually looked at Liu Chengquan¡¯s office, while Liu Chengquan took this time to calm down.

    "Mr. Fang, maybe our foreign bank has lowered the price of telegraph machines to American customers for other interests, but please believe that our foreign bank does treat you as our respected customer and there will be no fraud." Liu Chengquan  He explained somewhat guiltily that although there was nothing wrong with the product quality, the price was indeed higher than usual.

    "I believe in Mr. Liu's character. This matter ends here. I will not let this matter affect my impression of your bank."

    Fang Hua waved his hand and said that he did not intend to dwell on this issue any longer. The goal had been achieved anyway.

    "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Fang. I wonder if Mr. Fang needs our services when he comes to visit today?" Liu Chengquan felt relieved when he saw that Fang Hua was not going to bother with the telegraph machine, so he asked easily.

    "Mr. Liu, your foreign company seems to be an agent for ordnance, right?" Fang Hua asked bluntly.

    "ah?"

    Liu Chengquan, who was about to get up and pour tea for Fang Hua and others, was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise.

    "The world is uneasy now, so I want to buy some weapons for self-defense. Do you have any here?" Fang Hua saw Liu Chengquan's surprised expression, so he had to make up a reason to explain.

    "Of course. You must know that China is the country where German weapons are most widely used. We at Lihe Matheson also act as agents for the sale of firearms, whether it isThere is no problem with guns or handguns.  "Liu Chengquan was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the polite young man in front of him actually wanted to buy firearms. But when he realized it, he immediately brightened up, because the profit from arms trading is the largest, which is much higher than the profit from industrial products.  As the main handler, he will naturally receive a large commission.

    "I hope to purchase a batch of original Mauser rifles and pistols, as well as Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, and matching bullets." Fang Hua thought for a while and said.

    Rifle!  pistol!  Heavy machine gun!  So much needed.  Liu Chengquan subconsciously guessed that he might have met a big customer.

    "Mr. Fang, there is no problem with rifles and pistols. I just don't know what model of rifle you want to order? Is it Type 87 or Type 91? Also, I don't know how much goods you need?" Liu Chengquan asked excitedly.

    "Type 87? Type 91? You underestimate me too much. In other words, you don't want to complete this deal with me. Why do you always like to keep some good things?" Fang Hua asked helplessly.

    Although the Type 87 and Type 91 were both gun types designed by Paul Mauser, they did not become the standard equipment of the German Army. Instead, they were sold to Turkey and Argentina.  Although this batch of rifles has been greatly improved compared to the previous models, they still have flaws.

    What Fang Hua planned was naturally the Mauser Type 98 rifle that the German Army had used for more than half a century. Since 1898, the 7.92 mm caliber Type 98 Mauser rifle had become the standard rifle of the German Army. Until 1945, when Nazi Germany surrendered, the German Army  It has always been the standard rifle of China. China even imitated this gun type in the 1930s, and it became the "Chinese official rifle" later.

    Although Fang Hua doesn¡¯t know much about firearms, he believes in one sentence: existence is truth.  Since this gun type can have such vitality, it must have a reason for its existence.
