Chapter 83 There is no harm without comparison [5000,(1/3)
Such Italian cannon put everyone in the Zhang family in a state of excitement.
With such a powerful offensive and defensive weapon, the Zhang family's losses will be much smaller in the future.
As for the money, it is a bit expensive, but compared to previous losses, the price is still acceptable.
What's more, some losses can be recovered with money, and some losses cannot be compensated with money.
After Zhang Chi received the specific battle report, he went directly to Ning Chen and boldly placed an order for 100 Italian cannons and 10,000 rounds of artillery shells.
Part of all orders are settled in silver, and the other part is settled in equivalent currency.
"Master Zhang, this may be a bit difficult." Ning Chen expressed embarrassment.
Zhang Chi immediately said: "If it's a price issue, the head of Ningyuan will just say, I, the Zhang family, will never counter-offer."
Ning Chen shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with price. It's mainly a matter of production."
Ning Chen immediately introduced Wu Ang's production to Zhang Chi.
Then he said again, "Who has placed an order with me now?"
After listening to Ning Chen’s introduction, Zhang Chi understood that it was indeed not a matter of price.
Now in front of his Zhang family are Baijiacheng, Chaoting, Dingguohou, and Prince Jing.
Further back is his Zhang family.
With the current output in Wuang, the amount of Italian cannon produced in a year is not enough for one company.
It can only be divided into several families. The fifth door of his Zhang family this time has already jumped in line for Ning Chen's sake.
One hundred doors, this is really unrealistic.
"Ning Yuan Chief, the artillery matter can wait. As for the artillery shells, Ning Yuan Chief, please see if you can help coordinate more." Zhang Chi said in a retreat.
"This is easy to handle. I will contact Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi later.
Now that he is short of money, he is very happy to accept such a big order.
Zhang Family Master, how many shells do you plan to bring in the first batch?"
Zhang Chi said: "Of course, the more, the better. I want as much as I want now."
Ning Chen:......
Ning Chen found that he had completely underestimated Zhang Chi's desire for Italian guns.
"Why don't we start with a thousand rounds? After all, we have to leave some to share with others." Ning Chen took the initiative to give Zhang Chi a number.
Zhang Chi nodded: "Okay."
After a pause, Zhang Chi added: "Headmaster of Ning Yuan, can you tell Taoist Yun Xuanzi for me.
If the shells can be delivered within three days.
I can add an extra 10% to the price."
Listen, this is what rich people should say.
Everyone is also a powerful force.
The age when Taozu became Taoist was even before Confucian sage.
As a result, the Taoist sect is doing so poorly now that they are all reduced to working for the Confucian sect.
However, Ning Chen felt that Yun Xuanzi would never care about the issue of face or not.
What Yun Xuanzi is more concerned about now is whether this ten percent of silver should be given to him directly.
That is of course impossible. As the general distributor, how could it be possible if Ning Chen did not exploit Yiyi?
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I will contact Taoist Priest Yun Xuanzi right away and ask him to start working with all his strength. We will make these thousand rounds of artillery shells as quickly as possible." Ning Chen promised Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi cupped his hands at Ning Chen and said, "Everything depends on the leader of Ning Yuan."
Ning Chen nodded, and then reminded Zhang Chi: "Master Zhang, Italian cannons are all foreign objects after all.
After all, the area it covers is limited, plus its rate of fire and other constraints.
As long as the demon clan launches a large-scale charge, there is still a chance to get close to Xincheng."
Zhang Chi nodded and responded: "Thank you, Chief Ning, for reminding me, I still know this.
I regard the Italian artillery more as an auxiliary, and the main force is still the students of my Zhang family."
Seeing that Zhang Chi could still carry it clearly, Ning Chen said nothing more.
After coming down from the city wall, Ning Chen directly contacted Yun Xuanzi.
"Taoist Master, there is an urgent job now, and I need you to lead the people from the Taoist sect to rush it."
Yun Xuanzi's reply soon came: "My Taoist sect is not a craftsman..."
Ning Chen didn't even finish listening, so he directly interrupted Yun Xuanzi and said: "The person who placed the order said that if it is completed in three days, you can get an extra fifty thousand taels. I have thought about it, and I will give you all the fifty thousand taels.
"
Yun Xuanzi was silent for a moment and said directly: "How much?"
Ning Chen smiled slightly and said directly: "One thousand rune shells will be completed within three days and delivered to Xin City.
Fifty thousand taels of silver notes, let the delivery person take them back.
The remaining profits will be settled at the end of the month."
"good."
Yun Xuanzi agreed and ended the call.
This result was completely within Ning Chen's expectation.
Traditional Taoist schools are really short of money now.
Finally, the Immortal Dao Sect was moved to Ning Chen.
However, because there is no money for expansion, the traditional Taoist sect has no ability to occupy the empty territory left by the Changsheng Taoist Sect.
I can only watch others carve up the sphere of influence left by the Changsheng Dao Sect.
So fifty thousand taels was already a lot for Yun Xuanzi.
Of course, Yun Xuanzi didn't believe that Ning Chen would give all the fifty thousand taels to him.
Ning Chen must have withheld his part.
So when Yun Xuanzi heard Ning Chen say that he would give all fifty thousand taels to him, he was not polite to Ning Chen at all.
After solving the problem of the cannonballs, Ning Chen contacted Wu Ang again.
Let Wu Ang think of a way to see if we can expand production capacity.
After all, it seems that his Italian cannon is too popular now.
Now as long as the production capacity increases, we will definitely be able to sell as much as we make.
Wu Ang said that he would find ways to solve the production capacity problem.
But Wu Ang now also encountered a problem, not too big or too small.
That means there is not enough money.
"Why is there not enough money?" Ning Chen really didn't expect that Wu Ang would encounter such a problem.
After all, none of the businesses I do now are unprofitable.
If you make money, you will definitely have money.
After listening to Wu Ang’s explanation.
Ning Chen understood what was going on.
The lack of money is mainly due to several reasons.
First, part of it was Ning Chen’s fault. Because Ning Chen agreed to receive holy objects as payment, many people used holy objects as payment.
Secondly, during the Shun Emperor period, business was almost at a standstill.
Now that it suddenly became active, the money was naturally not enough.
Third, Wu Ang now has an order in hand, but no one has given a deposit.
The combination of several factors resulted in Wu Ang's current shortage of money.
The problem now is that Wu Ang actually does not have money.
However, due to the liquidity problem of silver, the current shortage of silver has been caused.
"I'll contact your Majesty. This matter must be resolved at the court level."
This kind of liquidity crisis really cannot be solved by Ning Chen alone.
After all, although private banking is still money, it is fine for private use, but it is unrealistic to circulate it on a large scale.
There are still many people who are afraid of losing their heads.
To be continued...
