Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry
Chapter 767: Thompson submachine gun, only 4 dollars, too cheap
Originally, such a thing would be impossible to happen in China, but Kong Hao's arrival made the impossible possible.
He said seriously, "Uncle Cui, Brother Black Tiger, this is why I'm looking for help from your Dafengtang."
"As everyone knows, the reason why China is so poor and weak is because our industrial strength is completely different from that of the invaders. We are not even on the same level."
"Let alone anything else, we can't even provide a large quantity of this most basic pistol. Otherwise, how could the Japanese be so arrogant in China?"
"In response to this situation, our compatriots abroad have used their connections to bring back a large amount of weapons and equipment, and are providing them to the Chinese people at cost price. This is only the first batch. Once most of them are sold, there will be second and third batches shipped in."
"By the way, after the supplies here are sold, you can get 20% as hard work compensation. I can't let you help for free."
Mr. Cui Si was well aware of the situation that Kong Hao mentioned, but this situation had lasted for three hundred years. Countless Chinese ancestors wanted to change the current situation of the country's poverty and weakness, but they tried many methods and all ended in failure.
I originally thought that the situation on the government's side would be different, but who could have imagined that only more than 20 years later, the great China was actually invaded and most of its territory had been lost. If the ancient Chinese sages knew about this, they would probably curse us, their descendants, from their coffins for bringing shame to our ancestors.
After all, China has a glorious history of 5,000 years and has always been at the top of the world. It has only declined in the last hundred years. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
However, Mr. Cui Si thought for a moment before saying solemnly, "This is a great cause that will benefit both the country and the nation. We at Dafengtang fully support it. We don't want the 20% profit. Since we're going to do it, we have to do it well. The extra 20% profit can definitely be used to lower the price. If a pistol costs fifteen dollars a piece, more people can afford it."
In fact, when you really think about it, Dafengtang is not short of money, but of scarce resources, such as the guns and ammunition in front of them, which are good things that cannot be bought even with money.
As long as they can participate in it and sell a large number of such high-quality and low-priced weapons, it will bring unparalleled benefits to the reputation of Dafengtang.
Kong Hao had obviously thought of this as well. He nodded with satisfaction at Mr. Cui Si's proposal and praised him a few times. This could be considered a win-win situation.
However, Mr. Cui Si has been in the martial arts world for such a long time, and his plans are far less than this. He continued:
"I think fifteen dollars is a bit too high. Many ordinary people who have blood feuds with the Japanese can't afford that much. We can start a pistol rental service, for example, renting it for two dollars a week. That way, we can expand our business scope a lot."
When Kong Hao heard this idea, his eyes immediately lit up. Mr. Cui Si was indeed a veteran in this field. The suggestion he made was very good. Doing so could indeed expand the customer base a lot and also deal a heavier blow to the enemies in the city.
After all, many ordinary people have deep hatred for the invaders because of the murder of their family members, and they want to take revenge on the enemy all the time. In the past, they had no money and could not find suitable weapons, so they suppressed the anger in their hearts. Now, if these people can be given suitable weapons, they can definitely kill a large number of Japanese devils to deter the enemy.
So Kong Hao nodded and agreed, and also told him about what he had just thought of, which was to organize relevant personnel to conduct shooting training outside the city.
Mr. Cui Si was also very interested in this plan and took on the corresponding task. This was a great opportunity for Dafengtang to expand its influence.
Moreover, they can also examine those who participate in the training and absorb some people who meet the requirements to join them, so that the strength of Dafengtang will expand rapidly.
Next, Kong Hao took the two of them to another box, opened it, and took out a submachine gun with a drum magazine.
"The Thompson submachine gun has an effective range of 200 meters, and the drum magazine can hold up to 100 rounds at a time. If two of these submachine guns were firing alternately on a narrow street, they could easily suppress a squad of enemy military police."
"There are fifty of them here, each with five hundred rounds, and five drum magazines. All together they cost four hundred dollars."
Kong Hao originally wanted a PPSh submachine gun, which had a simple structure and was relatively cheap. However, the PPSh rarely appeared on the battlefields of China, especially in Shanghai. Many gang leaders only knew Thompsons. If he used the PPSh submachine gun that no one knew about, he probably wouldn't be able to control the situation.
Mr. Cui Si had not expected that there would be such a good thing here. A submachine gun of this level could be regarded as a treasure of the gang. If it was shown at the most critical moment, it could scare the opponent to death.
You know, this is a submachine gun that can hold 100 rounds of bullets. It is invincible in close-range conflicts between the two sides.
Moreover, this type of pistol is completely different from the previous ones. It costs four hundred dollars each and comes with five hundred rounds of bullets. This price is simply a bargain.
Master Cui Si spoke without hesitation, "Nephew Kong, we at Dafengtang want all these Thompson submachine guns. The price is what you said. We are not short of money, and good things like this are not common."
"Uncle Cui, don't be impatient. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. This time I brought a total of 200 of these submachine guns. Twenty of them can be given to you, and the rest can be sold to other gangs that really want to fight the Japanese."
"But I have one request. Each gang must limit their purchase to no more than five. This will both strengthen everyone and prevent one gang from dominating. Furthermore, this submachine gun is different from the previous pistols. Ordinary people don't need them. Shanghai's gangs are well-off, so they can sell them at a high price to subsidize their pistol expenses."
"Anyway, we supply Dafengtang with 400 yuan each. We don't ask you how much you sell it for."
Kong Hao's original plan was not like this, but now he has changed his mind, which is also due to the fact that Mr. Cui Si gave up the 20% sales revenue.
Since the other party was so generous, he would find a way to compensate him from other places, and this Thompson submachine gun was a better choice.
Although he could make a lot of money even if he sold it for 400 dollars, if you think you can buy a top-notch submachine gun and 500 rounds of bullets for 400 dollars in Shanghai, you are wrong. This is not how it is calculated.
