Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry
Chapter 772 Expensive Weapons and Equipment
As for the funds needed to purchase weapons and ammunition, the hall master first took out 100,000 oceans from his own pocket. Seeing this, the military advisor and several other helmsmen also generously donated money according to their actual circumstances, and finally raised 100,000 oceans.
The more this is a matter of life and death for Tiefengtang, the more everyone present should unite. Money is external to the body, but using it to buy weapons to fight against traitors is a matter of national interest. Everyone knows clearly what is more important.
At the same time, those who were able to stay were all time-tested loyal and reliable people, and the passion in their hearts had not cooled down. Otherwise, when the Japanese invaded Shanghai, many weak-willed people would have already surrendered to the Japanese to gain wealth and glory.
However, these 100,000 yuan cannot actually buy much weapons and ammunition. An excellent gunman needs to be trained with a large number of bullets, and consuming 100 bullets and consuming 1,000 bullets are completely different concepts.
At the current black market price in Shanghai, one thousand bullets cost three hundred dollars, and one hundred people together would need thirty thousand dollars. This is just the cost of normal training. Most of the bullets need to be stored and used at critical moments, which requires more financial support.
After the discussion was over, Master Feng and the military advisor went to the study to drink tea and chat. At this time, a butler came in with something like an invitation.
"Master, someone just sent you a hero invitation to a party."
Seeing this, Master Feng took it and looked at it carefully, then said with a smile:
"Military Advisor, take a look at this. Do you have any ideas about this Dafeng Hall?"
The military advisor took it, glanced at it casually, and replied with a smile: "Hero invitation, I haven't seen something like this in a long time. The people in Shanghai are now divided. Those who are truly fighting against the Japanese are too suppressed by the enemy. They are all keeping a low profile and basically won't organize such a high-profile event."
"Those gangs that have sided with the Japanese want to distribute it, but basically no one buys it. Even if they do distribute it reluctantly, if no one goes, they will be laughed at."
"As for the Dafengtang, it's not a local gang in Shanghai. I heard they came from Tianjin. They're mainly involved in the intelligence business and have done a lot of business in Tianjin and the surrounding areas. They came to Shanghai a few months ago to develop."
"They mainly run a relatively large teahouse, using that location as their base. I went to see it when it opened. The tea they offer is very good and the price is very cheap. I think they are losing money to attract customers."
"In Shanghai, it's not easy for new gangs to get involved. Although new gangs are formed every day, a large number of them disappear every once in a while. It's not easy to gain a foothold here. Fortunately, the main business of the Dafengtang is intelligence, which does not conflict with the traditional territory of the big gangs here. In addition, the Dafengtang is relatively abiding by the rules of the underworld and has considerable financial resources. So far, there have been no major conflicts with other gangs."
The military advisor just said that Dafengtang has good financial resources, mainly because there are many people coming to the teahouse every day, and a lot of good tea is consumed every day. If Dafengtang can continue to subsidize it like this, it is enough to show that their foundation is still extremely deep.
However, if Dafengtang can break through the situation in the future and gain the trust of other gang leaders, then compared to the profits obtained from selling intelligence, this tea money will be a small matter and not worth mentioning at all.
By that time, Dafengtang could have raised the price of tea, even if it was doubled or even ten times, there would have been no problem at all. After all, who would care about such a small amount of money when they went to buy intelligence?
Of course, having said that, the key to reaching this height lies in whether Dafengtang has scarce resources, especially exclusive intelligence, which is the greatest foundation of a gang that is good at intelligence.
For example, what happened in the concession in the past few days. Most people in Shanghai now get the news from newspapers, and these news are all processed. Some are even purely made up by the editors themselves, and many details are portrayed by imagination.
It doesn't matter if ordinary people just watch the fun, but for gangs like them who are always paying attention to the situation in Shanghai, they absolutely need detailed intelligence, otherwise they can easily be cheated.
But this time, it was the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission that took action. Not to mention the new gang like the Dafengtang, even the old gangs in Shanghai that collected intelligence on the black market probably didn't have detailed sources of intelligence.
Currently, this information has been sold for five hundred dollars on the black market, but no one dares to take it.
Master Feng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, Master, come with me to check out the situation and inspect the quality of this Dafengtang. If it leans towards our side, we should give it more support in the future. After all, one more person means one more force, and when it comes to fighting the Japanese, the more people the better."
When he said this, there was a hint of murderous intent in his voice. Master Feng was a man who was decisive in killing. He hadn't said another word just now. If the Dafeng Hall was leaning towards the enemy, then don't blame the Tiefeng Hall for being ruthless. At this time, the fewer traitors there were, the better for the whole of China.
According to the time on the hero post, it will start at 8 o'clock the next night. According to the information revealed above, some important news will be announced, which has also attracted the attention of many people.
As for Dafengtang, they have put a lot of effort into completing the task assigned by Kong Hao, and are preparing to let the world see the style of their Dafengtang tonight.
Of course, all the guests tonight were carefully selected by Mr. Cui Si, and it was impossible for the Japanese spies to sneak in and cause trouble.
However, Dafengtang is a new arrival after all. If it wants to gain a foothold in Shanghai, it must come up with some unexpected strategies. Originally, it would take Mr. Cui Si and his men at least three to five years for people to slowly accept the existence of Dafengtang. But since meeting Kong Hao, everything has become simple.
After just one meeting with the mysterious Captain Kong, Mr. Cui Si already had countless cards in his hand, and every time he played one, he would shock the gang leaders in Shanghai who had never seen the world.
At seven o'clock, Master Feng and his military advisor slowly walked towards the agreed location. This time they also brought a thousand dollars in silver notes. If they came across anything of interest later, as long as it was useful to the gang, they would buy some and take it back, even if it was to support the newly established Dafengtang gang.
The location chosen by Dafengtang is a bit remote, but it is quiet and most suitable for this kind of large-scale gathering.
