Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

"A mere reputation is not worth mentioning. Foreigners have always looked down on us and think they are superior. Mr. Zhang, on the other hand, is already the deputy manager of Jardine Matheson at such a young age. It is remarkable that he can be invited by foreigners to be the deputy manager!" Liu Zhen said with a smile.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm just a bit clever and opportunistic, but you two have earned your reputation through martial arts. Now, foreign strongmen don't dare to set up a fighting arena in Shanghai and humiliate us by calling us the sick man of East Asia. That's Master Wang's reputation!"

Wang Ping quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are too kind. There are many people in Shanghai and all over the country who are more skilled in martial arts than me. I am not the only one who has defeated Western strongmen and Japanese warriors!"

At this time, secretary Miss Smith brought tea, and Zhang Yunhe hurriedly invited the two to drink tea.

After Miss Smith, the secretary, left, Liu Zhen took a few sips of tea and said, "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, we came here to see Mr. Zhang after hearing a friend's recommendation!"

"Oh? Is there anything I can help with?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Our Jingwu Bodybuilding Club mainly teaches students martial arts and strengthens their bodies, but we also teach students cultural knowledge. However, we are facing a shortage of funds recently, so we want to borrow money from the bank to tide us over. However, we don't have any acquaintances at the bank, so I hope Mr. Zhang can help introduce us to a loan manager at HSBC."

Zhang Yunhe was puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Does your Jingwu Qiangshen Club teach academy martial arts and cultural postures for free?"

"No, we will charge each student four dollars every month as tuition, living expenses and accommodation fees!" said Wang Ping.

Zhang Yunhe was puzzled. "Since we charge students, how can we be facing a funding shortage?"

Liu Zhen explained, "Mr. Zhang, you know that our Jingwu Fitness Association's school was previously located in Zhabei. Now that place has been occupied by the Japanese and used as a military camp, we were forced to relocate. After we selected a new school site and settled in, we ran out of funds. If we don't get some more funding, the students won't even have enough to eat three meals a day!"

"So that's how it is. I have no problem introducing you to someone from the bank. I wonder how much money you want to borrow?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

Liu Zhen said: "If possible, we would like to borrow 30,000 yuan."

"So much? Each of you students only pays 4 yuan a month. How long will it take you to collect and pay back these yuan?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

Liu Zhen explained, "Mr. Zhang, we plan to arrange a firearms shooting course for the students, so we need to purchase a batch of firearms and ammunition, mainly for teaching purposes. We need about 100 rifles, 100 pistols, and the corresponding bullets, so we need more funds!"

"Oh? You also want to arrange gun shooting courses for the students?" Zhang Yunhe was quite surprised.

"Yes!" Liu Zhen nodded affirmatively and said seriously, "The Japanese are bullying China and are becoming more and more rampant. We must let the students learn self-defense skills. After the students learn to shoot firearms, we will support them in self-defense or in fighting. We have also discussed the arrangement of firearms shooting courses with the students. Everyone is very supportive, and we don't charge any extra fees!"

"If you don't charge extra fees, it will be difficult to repay this loan with only income from tuition and living expenses!"

Liu Zhen and Wang Ping exchanged a glance, then said to Zhang Yunhe, "Actually, we don't just have tuition as a source of income. Our Jingwu Qiangshen Association receives donations from enthusiastic and patriotic individuals every year. We also plan to develop some industries and businesses, using the proceeds to maintain the operation and development of the school!"

Zhang Yunhe took out a cigarette and handed it to the two of them, "Come, have a smoke first, please let me think about it!"

Halfway through a cigarette, Zhang Yunhe came up with a plan. He said to the two, "Master Liu, Master Wang, I admire your enthusiasm for running a school! How about this? You two don't have to go to the bank for a loan. I will personally donate 20,000 yuan to the Jingwu Health Association!"

"Also, I can find a way to get the 100 pistols, 100 rifles, 20,000 rounds of pistol ammunition, and 20,000 rounds of rifle ammunition you need for your school and donate them to your Jingwu Health Association!"

"But I have a favor to ask..."

Liu Zhen and Wang Ping were overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said, "This, this is fantastic! I don't know how I can thank you enough, Mr. Zhang. Please let us know what you want. As long as we can do it and it's not against morality or the law, we will definitely not refuse!"

Zhang Yunhe nodded and said, "First, these weapons and ammunition cannot be obtained by bad guys to rob and kill people. They can only be used for teaching the Jingwu Qiangshen Association. Second, I personally practice martial arts, but I practice alone without a master. I don't know how to fight or use strength, so I hope you can take the time to teach me!"

Liu Zhen and Wang Ping exchanged a glance, both smiling. "Mr. Zhang, this is by no means an unreasonable request. I can assure you that this batch of firearms and ammunition will only be used for teaching purposes. As for your wish to learn martial arts from us, that's perfectly fine. We're committed to teaching martial arts to our people and strengthening their bodies. If you'd like to learn, Mr. Zhang, we welcome you with open arms!"

Wang Ping took a look at Zhang Yunhe and said, "I see that Mr. Zhang has strong muscles and bones, and his body is full of vigorous Qi and blood. He is even stronger than the two of us. Mr. Zhang said that he doesn't understand fighting style and how to use strength. I believe this. After all, without a master to teach you step by step, it is extremely difficult to understand it by yourself!"

"If Mr. Zhang doesn't mind, I can teach you everything I've learned in my life. As for how much you can learn, it all depends on you!"

Liu Zhen quickly said to Zhang Yunhe, "Brother Wang is proficient in various boxing, kicking, and sword techniques, and has even created his own martial arts. Zhang, your current situation is that you only have a strong body and strength, but you don't know how to use them effectively. If you can receive Brother Wang's dedicated teaching, it will be no problem for you to surpass your achievements!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhe bowed to Wang Ping and said, "I am deeply honored to have the favor of Master Wang. I will choose an auspicious day to hold the apprenticeship ceremony and invite well-known people from all walks of life to be present as witnesses. What do you think?"

Wang Ping waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I'm not teaching you martial arts for fame or gain. I'm teaching you martial arts because you have a healthy body and a sincere heart. There's no need to go to such great lengths!"

Liu Zhen said, "I think this is necessary. Doing so will benefit our Jingwu Health Strengthening Association, Brother Wang, and Mr. Zhang!"

So the three of them agreed to hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony three days later, and invited celebrities from the Shanghai martial arts community and all walks of life to attend the ceremony.
