Chapter 524 Bargaining

This time, Chen Cheng came here to buy the most urgently needed weapons and ammunition. At present, most of the millions of dollars lack ammunition and weapons, and the amount to be purchased is not a small number.

With so many weapons and equipment demands, the Kuomintang did not disclose them to the 36th Army in advance. Now, Zhang Yunfei is heading straight to the point, and Chen Cheng seems a little hesitant.

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Commander-General Zhang, this time, we have a big demand, you must be mentally prepared."

Zhang Yunfei smiled calmly: "Sir Chen, first talk about the quantity you need. As long as the price is appropriate, we will try our best to meet your needs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng completely let go of his heart. Before coming, Chairman Jiang specially told him that as long as he could buy the weapons and ammunition needed by the troops, the price would be 20% higher than the market price.

Now, listening to Zhang Yunfei's tone, as long as the price is appropriate, the quantity can be basically satisfied. So Chen Cheng felt relaxed, but the expression on his face was not obvious, but Zhang Yunfei still accurately captured the subtle changes on Chen Cheng's face.

Seeing that Chen Cheng's face had such a slight change, Zhang Yunfei also laughed in his heart. Zhang Yunfei thought to himself, it seems that he can earn a lot of money this time.

Chen Cheng, who was a little relaxed in his heart, said slowly: "Commander-General Zhang, the price of weapons and equipment is easy to say this time. We will purchase them all at the market price. How about it?"

Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir Chen, as far as I know, in our arms trading market, all kinds of weapons and equipment are now popular, basically because they are priceless."

Zhang Yunfei is right. Nowadays, wars are all in the country. There are many underground weapons trading markets across the country. These trading markets are not large in scale, but the price is not vague. A Hanyang building has increased from dozens of dollars to hundreds of dollars two years ago. And it is still difficult to buy.

Now, in the coastal areas, except for Beijing, Tianjin, Tang and Qinhuangdao, which were just revived by the 36th Army, the rest of the areas are basically controlled by the Japanese. Foreign weapons and equipment are generally unable to be in. Even if they have money, they may not be able to buy satisfactory weapons and equipment.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei say this, Chen Cheng thought that this was absolutely true, but his face still showed a look of embarrassment.

"Sir Zhang, although that's what we said, we are buying a bulk purchase this time. If it is based on the market price, it will be very expensive."

Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir Chen, in the current domestic market, you can't buy so many weapons and ammunition at once, except for my 36th Army. There is no other company."

Zhang Yunfei is fearless and not afraid of Chen Cheng not raising the price. Now it is a seller's market. Whether he wants to sell it or not is just Zhang Yunfei's thoughts. If the price is not suitable, Zhang Yunfei can not sell it.

After hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, in order to show our sincerity, we will add another 10% to a price higher than 10% of the market price?"

Zhang Yunfei said: "Sir Chen, I also know that you buy these weapons and ammunition to fight the Japanese. I won't make things difficult for you anymore. You can add another 10%."

"Okay! The deal is completed!" Chen Cheng agreed immediately.

The price higher than 20% of the market price was completely within the scope allowed by Chairman Jiang, and Chen Cheng immediately agreed readily.

The price is only 20% higher than the market, and the Kuomintang has completely taken a big advantage. This is mainly because Zhang Yunfei is concerned that this batch of weapons and ammunition is used for the anti-Japanese war.

After finalizing the price, the next negotiation will be much easier.

While thanking Zhang Yunfei for his national justice, Chen Cheng continued to say, "Sir Zhang, we need to buy at least 50 million 7.92mm bullets, 10 million 6.5mm bullets, and 50 million grenades. In addition, if there are shells, artillery and machine guns, we also want to buy some."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng next to him looked shocked and thought to himself, it was such a big deal!

Founder is responsible for the construction of the base area of ​​the 36th Army and the production of various factories. He is very clear about the production and inventory of the 36th Army's weapons and equipment. This time, if so many ammunition are purchased at one time, most of the inventory in the warehouse will be emptied.

The 7.92mm bullets are also used in large quantities. The squad machine guns of each unit use all these bullets. In addition, grenades are also used in large quantities by various units. Only the 6.5mm bullets used in this type of Japanese equipment are basically not used in large quantities.

However, Huanglongxia Arsenal has two production lines of 6.5mm bullets, which have been producing such bullets. In addition, there are many bullets seized by the Japanese, and they can barely collect 10 million 6.5mm bullets.

Zhang Yunfei was also a little surprised to see Chen Cheng report such a large demand for ammunition in one breath. Zhang Yunfei said righteously: "Lao Fang, do we have such a large inventory?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the number this time is too large. It may take us two or three months to provide these ammunition."

Founder also said this on purpose, not wanting to expose the production capacity and inventory of the 36th Army. He deliberately said that it would take two or three months to collect the ammunition.

Zhang Yunfei also nodded in understanding and said in a little embarrassed manner: "Sir Chen, the amount of your demand is too large. In this way, how about providing it to you in batches in three months?"

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and agreed: "Sir Zhang, no problem, you can provide us in batches, but the first batch of ammunition is no less than one-third of this amount, I hope to deliver it to us within these days."

"No problem. As soon as your payment arrives, we will deliver it to you immediately. Your plane can transport these ammunition from Datong Airport."

Zhang Yunfei immediately agreed readily and did not get entangled in this issue.

The Kuomintang has received support from the United States. Although there are not many fighter jets, there are still dozens of transport aircraft. These transport aircraft are much smaller than those of the 36th Army. However, each transport aircraft transports nearly ten tons of ammunition at a time, which is no problem at all.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei agreeing so readily, Chen Cheng said happily: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, thank you, in addition, I don't know if there are any machine guns and artillery for sale."

**The troops are now very short of heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery. This time, Chiang Kai-shek also wants to buy some of them from the 36th Army.

The 36th Group revived Beijing and Tianjin areas, and seized countless Japanese weapons. The weapons and equipment of more than 200,000 Japanese were equipped with local security brigades and sent part of the Eighth Route Army. Most of the weapons and equipment are still lying in the warehouse.

Zhang Yunfei thought that anyway, these weapons and equipment were of no use for the time being, so it would be better to sell them all to Lao Jiang, which can be regarded as giving full play to the role of these weapons and equipment, and re-enter the battlefield and fight against the Japanese.

So, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly: "General Chen, we revived Beijing and Tianjin last time, and seized some Japanese weapons and equipment. I don't know whether these Japanese equipment is interested."

Japanese equipment is naturally a bit better than domestic weapons such as Hanyang Made and Zhongzheng. Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng showed an interest and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, of course we are willing to buy Japanese equipment, but we don't know what the specific quantity you sell?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Lao Fang, how much Japanese equipment do we need?"

Fang Zheng immediately said seriously: "Commander-in-Chief, we still have more than 150,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 7,000 crooked machine guns, more than 3,000 Type 92 heavy machine guns, more than 300 Type 92 infantry cannons, and more than 500 60mm Japanese mortars."

Seeing that the 36th Army had so many Japanese equipment, Chen Cheng was also shocked and immediately said: "General Zhang, your batch of weapons is too large. I need to ask the Chairman for instructions."

Zhang Yunfei made a gesture of asking for advice, "Sir Chen, it's okay. Go and ask for instructions. We'll take a break and wait for you."

Chen Cheng hurried out of the reception room with his own people, and used the radio station he brought to Lao Jiang to report the situation here, asking for Lao Jiang's opinions.

When Zhang Yunfei saw Chen Cheng and his party go out, he smiled and picked up the hot tea on his table and took a sip of it, looking very leisurely and calm.

Zhang Yunfei is sure that Chiang Kai-shek will definitely pay for these weapons, and Zhang Yunfei just needs to wait patiently.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, Chen Cheng and his party came in. After entering the door, Chen Cheng immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, we just asked the committee member for instructions. We have all of your batch of Japanese equipment. In terms of price, it is still 20% higher than the market price. What do you think?"

"Okay! The deal is completed!" Zhang Yunfei agreed very readily.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei agreeing, Chen Cheng said again: "The amount involved in this transaction is too large. If Dayang is used, it will be too troublesome. I will see if gold transactions are used."

"Yes, then it's all converted into gold."

There must be a lot of gold in the national treasury of the National Government. If you can trade it in gold, it is naturally the best. Gold is now hard currency, and it is very strong, both at home and internationally.

At present, the gold reserved by the 36th Army mainly relies on seizure and extortion of the Japanese. The total amount is only nearly 100 tons. The gold is urgently needed by Zhang Yunfei. If a bank is to be established in the future, a large amount of gold must be backed up.

Zhang Yunfei stood up, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and said happily: "Sir Chen, happy cooperation!"

Chen Cheng immediately stood up and held Zhang Yunfei tightly. After some bargaining, the negotiation was finally finalized.
