Jefferson was a little annoyed. He had invested all his fortune in this batch of old weapons. If he couldn't sell them, all his efforts in the East over the years would be in vain.

He asked with a worried look on his face, "So what do you say we should do now? We have to find a way to sell the goods!"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Jefferson, we have to establish connections with the Japanese army and spend a lot of money to build a safe transportation line. Only in this way can our business prosper. If we are always being watched by the Japanese detective department, we will not be able to accomplish anything!"

Jefferson sighed, "Of course I want to establish connections with the Japanese, but I have to find the right person. If I find the wrong person, not only will I fail, I might even get arrested. These little guys are too cruel and ruthless. Now they don't even give us French people face!"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "I'll find a way to do this, but you know it's going to cost money, a lot of it. More importantly, if it can really be done, then... I might have to send some gifts to those key tasks every month!"

Jefferson waved his hand and said, "I understand all of this. I just want the results. What to do next is up to you. I'll have the company's finance department approve you 3,000 yuan for the work. We'll figure it out later if it's not enough. I just hope you can get this done as soon as possible and then sell this batch of goods!"

"No problem, just write a note and I'll go to the finance department to withdraw the money!" Zhang Yunhe agreed immediately.

Damn it, he might have to think twice before doing other things, but he is very good at finding connections and going through the back door. No one is not greedy. Some people are greedy for money, some are greedy for sex, and some are greedy for fame. Everyone has weaknesses and preferences. As long as you find the other person's weaknesses and preferences, it is completely possible to get closer to them. As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar!

No matter who they are, whether foreigners or Japanese, it is impossible for them to be without likes and weaknesses, and it is impossible for them to be without greed. So theoretically, anyone can be bribed. If they cannot be bribed, it means that the price offered is not high enough.

After returning to his office, Zhang Yunhe sat in his office chair and thought about how to deal with the old weapons in his hands and the weapons and ammunition looted from the Japanese freighter.

"Ding-ling-ling..." The phone rang again.

Zhang Yunhe picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

A man's voice came from the phone: "Mr. Zhang, this is Lao Chen. Are you free? Come out for a cup of tea. I want to discuss a business deal with you."

Colonel Chen Yucai, the quartermaster of the 28th Army? It's been a while since I last contacted this old man. Two months have passed since Chen Yucai bought weapons, equipment, and ammunition for soldiers from the riverside.

"Boss Chen, long time no see. Where would you like to have tea?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

“It’s the same old place!”

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Zhang Yunhe put down the phone, stood up, took his suit from the hanger, put it on, put on his top hat and left the office.

Not long after, he called a rickshaw and came to the teahouse where he met Chen Yucai for tea. After paying the fare, he looked around and walked into the teahouse.

After being led to the door of a private room by Dr. Tea, Dr. Tea turned and left.

Zhang Yunhe knocked on the door, and it opened quickly. Chen Yucai extended his hand to him with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang is still as charming and dashing as ever. I'm so envious of you!"

"I envy Brother Chen for his continuous promotion and wealth. He must be so happy!"

"Hahaha, what Brother Zhang said is exactly what I want. Please come in!"

After Zhang Yunhe entered the private room, Chen Yu closed the door and the two sat down face to face.

After pouring tea for Zhang Yunhe, Chen Yucai said, "To be honest, Brother Zhang, I will be transferred to Jiangzhou soon!"

"Oh? Which department will you be transferred to?" Zhang Yunhe asked hurriedly.

Chen Yucai dipped his finger in tea and wrote three words on the table: "Military-Political-Ministry"

Zhang Yunhe smiled upon seeing this and said, "Brother, your career is going smoothly. Do you have connections up there?"

Chen Yucai reached out to wipe the water off the table and write, smiling and saying, "Speaking of which, I owe all my success to Brother Zhang. What others can get, I can get too; what others can't get, I can also get. It's all thanks to Brother Zhang's support over the years!"

"This time, I was able to be promoted thanks to the help of a noble person above me. I'm still doing logistics work. Although I spent most of my savings over the years, it was worth it!"

"That's right, that's right. In the new position, Brother Chen can earn more. What does the little money he earns from building relationships mean to him?" Zhang Yunhe said.

"When I go to Jiangzhou, I'll have to ask Brother Chen to look after me!"

Chen Yucai immediately patted his chest and promised, "That's for sure. As long as you come to my place, Brother Zhang will be my most distinguished guest!"

Then he continued, "I asked you to meet me this time mainly because I wanted to collect a batch of weapons and ammunition for the troops here before I leave. I wonder if you have any in stock?"

Zhang Yunhe stood up and walked to the door, listening carefully. He opened the door and looked around. Seeing that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the door and returned to the table, whispering, "Yes!"

"How many?" Chen Yucai.

Zhang Yunhe said: "Two!"

After saying that, he opened his briefcase and pulled out a quotation sheet, handing it over. "Take a look at the quotation sheet. It lists both the types of equipment and the prices!"

Chen Yucai took the quotation and started to read it. He was stunned at the first glance: "French goods? This price...?"

Zhang Yunhe smiled and asked, "Is the price 30% lower than the market price?"

Chen Yucai nodded. "Yes, I think the quantity of this batch of goods can equip three divisions. Is there any way? Is there a problem with the quality?"

Zhang Yunhe immediately shook his head and said, "That can't be possible. The reason the price of this batch of goods is so low is mainly because it is a batch of goods that have been replaced!"

Chen Yucai was stunned: "The French soldiers changed their uniforms?"

"Yes, but I guarantee that they are 300% to 500% new, at least 5% new. They were shipped from Annan. Take the rifles for example. A rifle has only fired to rounds of bullets at most. The rifling is almost still new. It's just that they have been equipped for about years, but every gun, mortar and artillery is well maintained!" said Zhang Yunhe.

Chen Yucai took out a pack of cigarettes, gave one to Zhang Yunhe first, and then put one in his mouth. Zhang Yunhe took out a lighter and lit his cigarette first.

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Chen Yucai said, "Let's not talk about ammunition. As long as these things are well-preserved, they can still be used after 20 or 30 years. Firearms and artillery... after all, they are old. If I sell them at 70% of the retail price, it's fine. But since you're giving me this large quantity, 70% is not appropriate, right?"

Zhang Yunhe took two puffs and said with a smile, "Of course, this quotation is to satisfy certain people. If Brother Chen is sincere, I will give you a fixed price, no bargaining, 50%!"

Chen Yucai smoked a cigarette and pondered for a moment before looking at Zhang Yunhe and saying, "I'll accept the 50% price, but I have one condition. Brother Zhang must be responsible for transporting this batch of goods to the location I specify!"
